“What’s wrong?” Emma noticed something was off, so she immediately rushed over to Eric’s side. That’s when she saw him pick up a little baby in his arms, “Whose child is this?”
Eric shook his head and looked around. Without a suspicious soul in sight, Eric concluded that the child had been abandoned.
“Let’s send it to the hospital first. I’ll tell Luke to check the theater and surrounding locations for surveillance footage. Perhaps we’ll be able to find the parents.”
“OK.”
The couple quickly sent the child to a nearby hospital. After the doctors successfully resuscitated it, they confirmed that it was no longer in a life-threatening state. However, another problem arose.
“Sir, this child wasn’t born with any abnormalities, but it has many injuries on its body. It seems, it has been frequently abused. Are you sure this isn’t your child?”
Faced with this question, Eric removed his scarf, revealing his identity, “I found this child next to my car.”
After the doctor saw Eric, he did not ask any further. After all, everyone knew that Eric had two sons and one daughter. Which meant, this child’s identity still needed to be verified.
Of course, the doctors realized that if they were talking to Eric, then the woman behind him was naturally Emma.
Due to Eric’s intimidating presence, the doctors did not make a huge fuss over their arrival. They simply checked that the child was back to normal before they said to the couple, “Since this isn’t your child, I suggest you call the police and leave it for the police to handle.”
Emma looked at the little girl lying on the hospital bed. The little girl was only a little older than Yan Er. How heartless would a mother have to be to abandon her own child?
Meanwhile, back over at the theater, Luke had obtained some security footage from the parking lot.
“President, according to the footage we obtained, the person that left the child near your car was the model, Liang Yongyu. She’s the model that’s been passionately involved with a rich businessman recently.”
“Call her manager and tell her to come pick up her child,” Eric ordered.
“Yes, President!”
After Eric contacted the child’s mother, the doctor did not make any further suggestions. However, Eric did not hand the child to the police. If he did, the newspapers would go crazy again the next day.
So, the couple temporarily took the child back to Hyatt Regency.
Approximately 1 hour later, Luke arrived outside Hyatt Regency with Liang Yongyu. He then carried the child out to her.
“You’ve got a decent standing in the industry, you wouldn’t be struggling to keep a child, would you?”
Liang Yongyu was only in her early 20’s. The young and pure-looking woman immediately approached her daughter guiltily and p**ssed her cheek against the child, “Assistant Lu, you have no idea, but I gave birth to two consecutive daughters for that man.”
“As you know, rich businessmen always hope for sons to inherit their businesses. So, due to my two daughters, I haven’t been given any acknowledgment or a proper title. But, that’s not all, the as*hole has also been abusing my daughter.”
“I had no choice but to take my daughter away while he was out on a business trip.”
“My older daughter already passed away, I don’t want my younger daughter to end up with the same fate…”
With that thought, the model knelt on the floor and began to beg Luke, “Assistant Lu, can you please adopt my daughter?”
“Liang Yongyu, you need to understand, I can’t trust you based on your one-sided claim.”
After all, there were too many actors in the industry.
“Please, I beg of you and I beg of Emma and Mr. Roborts! I saw Mr. Roborts’s car today and recognized it, that’s why I placed my daughter there. I can give you money. I simply hope that my daughter can continue living safely.”
Liang Yongyu broke down in tears pitifully, but Luke was well aware that, within the industry, the more good looking a thing was, the eviler it was. So, even though Lisa had previously struggled with the gender of her child, he wasn’t about to be easily fooled.
Afterwards, Luke repeated Liang Yongyu’s words to the Roberts Couple.
“President and Madam, this is the situation.”
“So, she got herself involved with a rich businessman, but the man won’t let her into the family unless she gives birth to a son?” Emma shook her head. “It seems, every woman wants someone that can support them financially for life, so they are willing to waste their youth and tread on their own self-respect.”
“This Liang Yongyu’s words are filled with flaws. Go back to her and reject her,” Eric ordered. “These are the rules of the game that she accepted!”
“OK, President.”
After receiving his instructions, Luke left Hyatt Regency. At that time, Emma’s exp**ssion became very complicated; her instincts told her that things weren’t so simple.
“What if she’s telling the truth?” Emma suddenly asked. “What if the child gets abused to death? What if Liang Yongyu leaves her out in the cold again? Should a child suffer because of an adult’s mistake?”
After speaking, Emma turned and looked at her three kids sleeping peacefully in their cribs.
“Everyone has their own fate and a price that they should bear. Go have a shower and get some rest,” Eric comforted.
Emma wasn’t being too merciful. She was simply feeling a way that any normal mother would. But, of course, if everyone came looking for her when they had a problem, she wouldn’t be able to care about them all even if she had ten hearts.
…
It didn’t take long before Luke relayed the words of the Roberts Couple to Liang Yongyu, “Since you gave birth to the child, it is your responsibility to take care of her. No matter how your situation is, it’s extremely irresponsible for you to randomly leave her next to a car. I’m sorry, but it’s inconvenient for the Madam and the President to get involved with other’s business. I suggest you go home.”
After hearing this, Liang Yongyu looked at Luke in hopelessness.
She then kneeled in front of Luke again, “I know that I’m young and inexperienced and that I made a huge mistake, but the child is innocent. If that as*hole finds her, she’ll definitely lose her life. I beg of you!”
“Why don’t you look for someone else?”
“No one’s willing to help me…” Liang Yongyu cried, “I beg of you!”
“How could you expect someone else to take care of the child that you gave birth to?” Luke asked. “This is a human life, not just a cat or a dog. We’re not talking about something simple like buying vegetables from the side of the street, we’re talking about a living breathing person.”
“How could you expect others to agree?”
“Miss Liang, I hope you don’t force people to act against their will.”
“Please reconsider, I beg you…”
Luke shook his head, “You can give up on everything and run away with your daughter. But, instead, you’re too greedy to let go of what you have, so you expect others to take care of your daughter for you. Don’t you think that’s an unreasonable request?”
“I…”
“Miss Liang, please go home.”
Even though he felt bad for the child, Luke firmly rejected Liang Yongyu because it wasn’t something he could help with just because he had good intentions.
Seeing that her plea had been rejected, Liang Yongyu had no choice but to carry her daughter and leave in despair.
But, just as Emma expected, Liang Yongyu ended up leaving the child somewhere else and tried to find another person to take her…
Luke followed Liang Yongyu and watched as she abandoned the child again. However, three hours passed and she did not return. Left with no choice, Luke ended up taking the child back to Hyatt Regency as per Emma’s orders.
“We aren’t suitable for adopting this child, so help me find a good family for it. However, before you do that, we need to wait and confirm Liang Yongyu’s words are true. Otherwise, we need to return the child to its father,” Emma instructed carefully.
“I understand, Madam.”
“Also, don’t let Liang Yongyu know about this.”
“Of course not.”
But, Emma would never expect that this matter would cause Liang Yongyu to hold a grudge against her.
From Emma’s point of view, she had saved the little girl. But, from Liang Yongyu’s point of view, Emma had left her with no choice but to abandon her child.
Liang Yongyu was well known within the industry. Everyone knew that she was discovered from a beauty pageant and gained fame after a dance at a banquet where she was spotted by the heir of a big diamond empire. After that, he became her lover.
Originally, a talented man and a beautiful woman sounded like a perfect match, but who would have thought they couldn’t escape the p**ssures of old societal views.
A rich family was obviously subject to a lot of fighting. Unfortunately, for a woman, if she wanted to have a firm standing, a son was the best ‘tool’.
Liang Yongyu took a huge risk before she finally gave birth to two children. But, she never expected that she’d be shamed because they were both daughters.
After Luke held an investigation, he discovered that the family that owned the diamond empire did indeed favor boys over girls and that Liang Yongyu previously gave birth to another daughter that died mysteriously before it reached 6 months old.
From the looks of it, Liang Yongyu did not lie.
Only those that had experienced the dramas of a rich family would understand how complex it was.
Soon, an entire day passed, but Liang Yongyu did not return to the place where she abandoned her child. From the looks of it, she had completely given up on her daughter. Or perhaps, rather than letting the child die from abuse, she thought it was better for it to survive on its own. At least, if it was lucky it would have the chance of being adopted by some kind-hearted people.
“Since that’s the case, then hand the child to a couple in need. Don’t let anyone else know about it.”
“I’ll find a suitable couple, Madam!”
A few days later, Luke told Emma that he found a good home for the child; he had handed her over to a well-educated family that liked daughters. They agreed to adopt the child and treat her like their own.
With that, the entire incident appeared as though it came to an end. Afterwards, Emma did not deliberately think about the woman that begged her on the snowy night of ‘The Ant Queen’s’ premiere, nor did she remember that she had rejected her.
For Emma, it was an easy thing to forget, but for Liang Yongyu, it was a grudge that she’d remember for life.
…
5 days later, the national box office sales concluded that ‘The Ant Queen’ had surpassed 1.4 billion, breaking all records and receiving great reviews.
