DD Chapter 64

 

 

At that time, Yu Shanshan was at home doing leg stretches when she suddenly received a call from the security guard, saying that a woman was looking for her at the gate. The woman claimed to be her good friend but didn’t give her name.

 

Yu Shanshan couldn’t help but wonder who could be looking for her here. Her only close female friend was Wu Jing, but Wu Jing wasn’t even in town, so it couldn’t be her.

 

Unable to figure it out, Yu Shanshan wiped off her sweat, changed clothes, and went downstairs. When she looked outside the gate, she was surprised to see that it was Yu Ziqi.

 

Yu Ziqi’s current appearance was not good at all. She was wearing oversized cotton clothes, a large hat covering most of her face, no makeup on her pale face, prominent dark circles, and her lips were pale with a hint of purple. She looked nothing like the arrogant woman she used to be.

 

As soon as Yu Shanshan saw her, she felt angry and couldn’t hide her disgust. “What are you doing here?”

 

Yu Ziqi cautiously forced a smile, trying to please her. “Jie, I came to see you.”

 

Yu Shanshan immediately waved her hand. “Don’t call me Jie. Don’t randomly claim relatives. It makes me sick.”

 

If she had heard these words before, Yu Ziqi would have engaged in a verbal battle with Yu Shanshan, but this time she seemed indifferent. She rubbed her hands pitifully. “Jie, you’ve always been like a sister to me. Although I always argue with you, I’ve always seen you as my sister.”

 

Yu Shanshan was really disgusted by her. This woman used to try everything to harm her whenever she got the chance. Now she was acting like they had a deep sisterly bond. She couldn’t believe that after a few years, this woman had become even more shameless. She could tell such blatant lies as if they were true, without feeling disgusted with herself.

 

Yu Shanshan’s mind quickly figured out why she had come here. She thought this woman must be crazy, and she was the last person she wanted to deal with.

 

Yu Shanshan turned to leave, ignoring her.

 

Seeing Yu Shanshan about to leave, Yu Ziqi, feeling desperate, hurriedly went up to her and grabbed her arm tightly. “Jie, don’t leave. Please don’t ignore me. Can you let me stay with you for a while? I want to stay with you.”

 

Yu Shanshan was about to explode with anger. “Yu Ziqi, do you have no shame? We are enemies. Why should I shelter you? Do you think I’m a saint?”

 

Yu Ziqi held on tighter as if clutching at a straw for life. Tears streamed down her face. “Jie, I apologize. I shouldn’t have treated you like that before. Please forgive me. I won’t dare to do it again in the future.”

 

Yu Shanshan was about to vomit from her disgust. “Yu Ziqi, don’t think I don’t know why you’re here. I advise you not to take others for fools. It’s best for you to leave immediately, or I’ll expose your identity online. I’ll tell everyone that Wang Kun’s mistress is right here for everyone to see.”

 

Hearing this, Yu Ziqi’s face changed drastically. She didn’t expect Yu Shanshan to know everything about her. She realized that there was no point in pretending to be sisters anymore. It would be better to tell the truth and beg for her mercy, hoping that she would soften her heart and shelter her. She was the only one who could protect her now.

 

Yu Ziqi immediately half-knelt on the ground, tightly holding onto Yu Shanshan’s legs, tears streaming down her face. “Jie, please save me. I have nowhere else to go. Wang Kun, that bastard, has turned against me and accused me of seducing him, putting all the blame on me. My management company won’t help me, and they’ve canceled all my activities, leaving me to fend for myself.”

 

Yu Shanshan didn’t want to hear about her miserable situation. Everything was her own fault. She had chosen to be someone’s mistress, so she should be prepared to face all the difficulties that came with it.

 

What’s the use of begging her? She wasn’t a saint.

 

Yu Shanshan forcefully pulled her leg back, but Yu Ziqi’s hand was like a steel nail nailed to her leg. She felt her leg being pinched by the woman’s nails, making her so angry that she shook her leg hard. “I’ll say it one last time, Yu Ziqi, let go of me!”

 

“Jie, please save me!” Yu Ziqi hugged her tighter, seemingly oblivious to Yu Shanshan’s struggles, crying, “Jie, if you don’t save me, I’m doomed. Wang Kun’s wife has connections with the underworld. She wants to kill me. I almost got hit by a car yesterday. Even if I hide at home, people come knocking on my door and send me dead animals. She really wants to kill me! Sis, please save me. Only you can save me now. I beg you——”

 

Yu Shanshan finally erupted, slapping her face hard, immediately swelling it up. Five clear finger marks appeared on her face. “Yu Ziqi, I’m telling you, you brought this upon yourself. It’s your own fault for willingly causing trouble. It has nothing to do with me. I’m not obligated to help you, nor do I have the mood to help you. If you think someone wants to kill you, go to the police. I’m not a cop. Why are you looking for me? I advise you to get out of here quickly, or I’ll call someone.”

 

But Yu Ziqi acted as if she were crazy, not caring that she had been slapped. Instead, she said, “Jie, you can slap me more if you want. As long as you can save me, you can do whatever you want.”

 

Yu Shanshan finally realized that this person was insane, unable to understand reason. It was useless to talk to her. She was just wasting her breath. She shouted loudly, “Help! There’s a madwoman here! Someone, come quickly!”

 

The security guards in the nearby security room heard the noise and rushed out to check. Seeing Yu Shanshan calling for help and another woman clinging to her, they immediately ran over. “What’s going on?”

 

Yu Shanshan hurriedly said, “This woman is crazy. I don’t know her. She came to harass me. Take her away.”

 

Several security guards came forward to pull Yu Ziqi away. Despite her struggles, Yu Ziqi couldn’t resist against several men. No matter how loudly she screamed, it was useless. In the end, she was pulled away.

 

The head of security asked Yu Shanshan, “Miss Yu, should we report this to the police?”

 

Yu Shanshan was about to nod, but Yu Ziqi panicked and shouted, “Don’t call the police, don’t call the police. I’m her sister, not a crazy person! We just had a little disagreement. Don’t call the police, I’ll leave now, I’ll leave now!” If the police were called, it would be over. Those paparazzi would definitely find her, and Wang Kun’s wife would definitely find her. She would have no way out then.

 

The head of security looked at Yu Shanshan inquiringly. “Miss Yu, should we call the police?”

 

Yu Shanshan looked at Yu Ziqi and couldn’t bear to do it in the end. She waved her hand and said, “Forget it, let her go. Don’t let her in if she comes again in the future. I don’t know her.”

 

Several security guards released Yu Ziqi at Yu Shanshan’s words and warned her to leave quickly.

 

Yu Ziqi rubbed her sore arm and her face no longer showed the pleading and appeasing expression from earlier. Instead, she glared at Yu Shanshan with resentment, as if she were looking at her father’s enemy, “Yu Shanshan, remember this!”

 

Yu Shanshan snorted coldly. “What, you’re not pretending anymore? Weren’t you begging me sincerely just now?”

 

Yu Ziqi glared at her fiercely and said one last thing, “Yu Shanshan, you bitch. You’ll face retribution for ignoring me!”

 

With that, she quickly left.

 

Yu Shanshan was infuriated by her, thinking where would the retribution come from? She didn’t do anything wrong. She led a good life and didn’t deserve any retribution. Yu Ziqi should worry about herself.

 

Back at home, Yu Shanshan felt pain in the legs and arms that Yu Ziqi had grabbed. She had only intended to go downstairs to take a look, so she hadn’t put on thick clothes. She was wearing a long sweater when she went down, not expecting to be grabbed by Yu Ziqi and unable to escape. That woman’s grip was too strong.

 

Rolling up her sleeves, she saw two bruises on her arm and several nail marks from being pinched. She didn’t need to think; her legs must be the same.

 

Yu Shanshan was furious. Did Yu Ziqi come here to murder her?

 

After applying some bruise ointment, Yu Shanshan imagined beating Yu Ziqi countless times in her mind before she didn’t feel so angry.

 

Wait a minute! She suddenly remembered an important question: How did Yu Ziqi know she lived here? It was so remote that it couldn’t be found on the map. When she came here, she had asked her grandfather for the approximate route. Apart from her grandfather and aunt, even her uncle didn’t know the exact address of her residence, let alone outsiders. Moreover, Yu Ziqi didn’t know anyone from the Yuan family, so she didn’t have the opportunity to talk to anyone from the Yuan family. So how did she find out?

 

Yu Shanshan couldn’t figure it out. She thought about it all afternoon, but in the end, she couldn’t come up with any clues, so she let it go. What does it matter how she found out? In the future, the security guard wouldn’t let her in if she came.

 

However, she still paid attention to the aftermath of Wang Kun’s affair. The scandal had been on hot search for several days. There were so many fans of Wang Kun’s actress wife that everyone was indignant for their idol and vowed to find the shameless woman who seduced her husband and expose her to everyone. They even posted a “wanted” notice online, offering cash rewards for useful information.

 

Perhaps because the fans” actions were too crazy, a few days later, they actually found her. Yu Ziqi’s photos were posted online, and even her life story was written out one by one. What was even more sensational was that after entering the entertainment industry, Yu Ziqi’s various scandals were not spared. This exposure made the public look down on Yu Ziqi immensely. It turned out that after Yu Ziqi entered the entertainment induastry, she relied on her relationships and slept her way up. She had been supported by three men and even had affairs with several directors. It was unclear how these privacy issues were exposed.

 

In short, the revelations were unexpectedly exciting, and netizens” saliva almost drowned Yu Ziqi.

 

Later, many netizens went to Yu Ziqi’s residence to confront her. At first, she was indeed cornered, and then she was beaten to near death by people. After that, there was no news of her. She probably went outside to avoid trouble.

 

Yu Shanshan couldn’t help but shake her head when she saw this. Back then, although Yu Ziqi was not her father’s biological daughter, her father treated her well. They had similar living conditions, and Yu Ziqi even had the demeanor of a little princess. Otherwise, she wouldn’t dare to confront her everywhere and oppose her. It was because she relied on her father’s treatment of her as his own daughter that she dared to be so arrogant. This woman, along with her mother, couldn’t wait to get rid of her, hoping to inherit her father’s wealth in the future.

 

Yu Ziqi used to be so glamorous. Even when she went out, people would call her Miss Yu. But now, look at how she’s fallen.

 

For someone as pampered and inexperienced as Yu Ziqi to survive outside the Yu family’s aura and raise herself, she didn’t have children dragging her down. She had hands and feet. Why did she have to do such things? It all boiled down to her willingness to degrade herself.

 

Such a person didn’t deserve sympathy at all.

 

With the situation reaching this point, Yu Shanshan didn’t want to see any more. She never paid attention to it again and focused on practicing dancing.

 

Now that she had lost weight, her weight had dropped to ninety pounds, and her eating habits were slowly returning to normal. Looking at her slim and beautiful figure, she woke up with a smile on her face.

 

Only those who had been extremely overweight could appreciate the preciousness of feeling light as a feather. She vowed never to be greedy or lazy again and to maintain her figure properly. She would never be fat again.

 

After losing weight, she decided to pick up her dance again. She was a dance major and had been the best dancer at the Imperial Capital Dance Academy. She also deeply loved dancing. If there was anything in this world worth enduring hardships for without complaint, it would definitely be dance.

 

Dance was her dream, one of the meanings of her life. She started learning dance at the age of five. At that time, her father took her to look around for hobbies, but she was not interested in anything except ballet. She saw that ballet teacher dancing gracefully in the classroom, and a lofty ambition was planted in her little heart. She wanted to dance as beautifully as that teacher.Since then, she went to learn dance every day. At first, it was really painful, and every stretch hurt like hell, but she miraculously persisted, dancing for nearly twenty years.

 

Dance had become indispensable in her life. Now that she had regained her figure, she wanted to pick up dance again and become the same Yu Shanshan as before.

 

But after four or five years without dancing, her bones had stiffened, and it was not easy to restore her previous level. What she had to do was to train hard and diligently.

 

Yu Shanshan turned a guest room into a dance studio, with full-length mirrors installed on all walls, a special dance floor on the ground, and speakers for playing music. Every day, she practiced in front of the mirror in her dance attire.

 

During the day, her audience was only Er Bao, and at night, it was Er Bao and Dudu.

 

Dudu watched his mother dance gracefully in her pristine ballet dress, completely mesmerized, just like his father. The two of them, big and small, had equally focused and devoted gazes, which greatly encouraged and boosted Yu Shanshan’s confidence.

 

Yu Shanshan raised Dudu’s chin triumphantly and asked him, “Pangpang, remember when Mommy told you that she was a ballet princess, and you didn’t believe her and said Mommy was bragging? Do you believe it now?”

 

This time, Dudu, unusual for not arguing with his mother, nodded dumbly and said while holding his chubby face, “Mommy, you really look like a princess.”

 

Yu Shanshan was delighted by her chubby son’s words and immediately spun around on the floor, her light body and beautiful dress making a charming sight.

 

Dudu looked at his father, whispering quietly, “Dad, I used to find it strange why you chose Mommy as your wife, especially since Mommy has such a bad temper, she’s vain, she hits people, and she can’t cook, and she eats a lot.”

 

Yuan Long hurriedly covered his son’s mouth and whispered, “Shh, don’t let your mom hear you, or you’ll get in trouble again.”

 

Dudu nodded cautiously, waiting for his father to release his hand covering his mouth before whispering to his father’s ear, “Dad, now I understand. You must have chosen Mommy as your wife because you found Mommy beautiful, right? Dad, you’re lecherous!”

 

Yuan Long: …. Lecherous? This is just appreciating beauty. Also, how do you, a little kid, know so much?

 

Sometimes, he really thought having such a smart son wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

 

Looking at the little guy’s “See, I’m right” expression, Yuan Long couldn’t help but smile wryly. Why was this kid so precocious?

 

Yuan Long decided to explain to his chubby son, “The reason Dad chose Mommy as his wife, of course, Mommy’s beauty is part of it, which you’ll understand when you grow up.”

 

Dudu blinked his eyes, listening earnestly and curiously to his father’s continuation.

 

“But, it’s not just because Mommy is beautiful. Mommy has other qualities too, like she’s lively, optimistic, and adorable. Being with Mommy makes Dad happy and comfortable every moment. Seeing Mommy is like having a little sun in Dad’s heart.”

 

Dudu immediately touched his own chest, asking, “Is it like being bathed in warm sunshine in your heart?”

 

“Yes!” Yuan Long patted his son’s little head, “Mommy is Dad’s little sun, and you’ll find a little sun that can live in your heart too.”

 

Dudu pondered over this.

 

Yuan Long looked again at Yu Shanshan, who was still dancing gracefully, and his heart started to contemplate.

 

Four years ago, she didn’t graduate smoothly because of Dudu’s birth, didn’t even get her diploma, and missed the opportunity to study abroad. This was not only her regret but also his lifelong regret and deep guilt towards her. Every time he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable.

 

He didn’t want such regret to accompany her for a lifetime.
