Chapter 714: Chapter 714 Women Must Be Independent
In the private room, with no one around to disturb them, Bai Yueru tenderly grasped Ye Shu’s hand and said, “Xiao Shu, to be honest, our Sheng Family owes you a lot, so I want to make amends properly. Do you understand?”
Ye Shu smiled and replied, “There’s no need, Mom. No matter what my relationship with the Sheng Family is, do we still need to talk about who owes whom? I know you’ve always been very good to me, so you really shouldn’t feel guilty.”
“That’s not how it works, Xiao Shu. Things are different now. Before, I was separate from the Sheng Family. I had no say in the Sheng Family, and there was a lot I couldn’t help with. But now, I am the Sheng Family, do you understand?” Googlᴇ search novel•fire.net
“Mom, just say what you want to say.” Ye Shu was ready to listen.
“What I want to say is quite simple. Xiao Shu, once you’ve set up Heng Kong Entertainment, you should let Ou Linlin and the others run it. You don’t need to commit your whole heart and soul to it because you don’t need to struggle so much. The Sheng Family has such a large business that needs our own people to oversee. So when do you think you’ll come back to the Sheng Family…”
“Mom—” Ye Shu promptly interrupted Bai Yueru, “Mom, thank you for using the word ‘return,’ it shows you truly always consider me as part of the family. But I can tell you now that I won’t let go of Heng Kong Entertainment. It’s a promise I made with them. I want to pursue our common dreams together. It’s what I’ve come back here to do and what has always been on my mind.”
“This… ah…” Bai Yueru couldn’t help but sigh, “I still think you might have better options.”
“Heng Kong Entertainment is my best choice, Mom. I hope you can ,” Ye Shu gently placed her hand on Bai Yueru’s shoulder. “I know you care about me, I really appreciate it. But I hope to build something of my own through my efforts. Remember what you told me? That a woman should have her own career, be economically independent so she can stand tall in front of men. Isn’t that what I’m doing? I don’t want to depend on anyone. I can do it myself.”
“Alright…” Bai Yueru had thought that when Ye Shu had proclaimed in front of the Old Lady that she would reach a height the Sheng Family would look up to, it was just talk out of anger. But now, seeing her beaming with confidence, she knew Ye Shu wasn’t lying. She was truly striving for that goal.
“Mom, don’t worry. Because of the Old Lady, it was difficult for me to visit you, but now that you’re in charge, I can come to see you and Little Kaikai more often.”
“Mm, you’ve said it yourself now.” Bai Yueru responded with a helpless smile, “Xiao Shu, always remember, no matter when, if you ever need anything, just call me. I’ll help you with anything I can.”
“I know, Mom. Thank you.” Ye Shu genuinely appreciated Bai Yueru. When the Old Lady had repeatedly tried to deal with her, although Bai Yueru couldn’t stop it, she had always protected her without hesitation, even if it meant opposing the Old Lady in order to keep her safe.
Thus, even if she couldn’t get back together with Sheng Shaochen, Ye Shu would never forget the affection Bai Yueru had shown her.
