Chapter 23 – Proving Herself

Luo Bei couldn’t help but admire her.

Not everyone could think of going out to work with a huge amount of money in the bank.

If she didn’t go through with the pregnancy, if she had hardened her heart, she could have lived a more relaxed life. If she told the Lei family about her pregnancy, with the Lei family’s importance of having descendants, she would be able to live the rest of her life without any worries. But she didn’t.

If the same thing happened to Luo Bei, she wasn’t sure whether she could make the same decision as Zhao Pianpian.

“I don’t think I told you about the baby’s father.” Zhao Pianpian looked at Baby Chen who was sleeping soundly in his crib. Her gaze softened, “He’s a very outstanding man, there’s nothing he can’t do. It’s like nothing can stop him from his goals. Honestly, if he’s the one taking care of our child, his future would be so bright. But I’m too selfish, I want my baby by my side. That’s why I have to let my baby grow in the best environment I can provide. I want to believe that even if he grew up under my care, he can also become a remarkable person.”

Zhao Pianpian had always loved Lei Yuhao. It was precisely because of her love that she could leave him so decisively, because she did not want to become a burden to him. And it was precisely because she loved him that she was willing to become a single mother and give birth to their child. In her heart, she didn’t think of their child as hers alone, but also Lei Yuhao’s son. So she must raise him well, she had to do her best in giving him a healthy and happy life.

“Alright.” Luo Bei smiled at her, “That’s great. You’re still young, you should also have a life of your own. It shouldn’t just be about the child, you have to think about yourself too.”

Luo Bei finally understood and was no longer curious about why Zhao Pianpian didn’t look for Lei Yuhao.

Although Zhao Pianpian and Lei Yuhao lived in two different worlds, she had her own dignity. If her dignity was trampled; if she thought that by staying by his side, there would be nothing left of her precious, precious dignity, then as a human being, her first thought would naturally be to escape. Even if it was at the expense of leaving someone she loved, she would never regret her decision.

Jiang Sihan attended a banquet today.

He was very poor. It was his first time participating in this kind of banquet since he left home for this unfamiliar city.

It was a loud and boisterous event, but Jiang Sihan had his eyes on the abundance of dishes on the big, round table. There was seafood he had never seen, abalone and lobster he had only ever heard of, even the ramekin in front of him contained bird’s nest soup he had never drank before.

“Xiao Jiang, I think you have a bright future ahead of you,” one of the men wearing gold-framed glasses suddenly said. “As long as you’re willing to sign a contract with me, I promise you’ll become popular.”

Jiang Sihan was originally going to meet a musician he knew to discuss a song he had recently finished writing. To be honest, he had mentally prepared himself for social interactions today. After all, the music industry wasn’t doing so well right now and his music wasn’t mainstream. Who would have thought that an agent from an entertainment company would come to scout that musician and bump into him, pulling him along for a meal.
