“What did Nan Chen say?” asked Cheng Xiangyun who squeezed Ning Ran's shoulder to comfort her.

“What else could that poker face say? He said he wanted to take the kids away.”

“Nan Chen didn't seem like an unreasonable man,” said Cheng Xiangyun who was a little suspicious.

“Hey, are you seduced by that face?” demanded Ning Ran, “Do you think he's a good person? Whose side are you on, woman?”

“Quit talking nonsense. I'm on your side,” said Cheng Xiangyun, “I just meant if he said, in actual direct words, that he wanted to take them away?”

“No, he didn't, but his intentions were clear. Kids of the Nan Family must be raised by the Nan Family.”

“That request makes sense,” agreed Cheng Xiangyun, “Think about it. The Nan family is the richest and most powerful family in Flower City, and they have way more resources than ordinary families. Those kids will be much better off there than they would be if they were to grow up in a poor neighborhood like this. Moreover, if the kids were accepted, you, as their mother, would also become a part of the family. You won't need to shoot movies anymore and would be able to live a luxurious life.”

As she spoke, Cheng Xiangyun's eyes shone like she was the one who was about to be a part of a rich family.

“You're too naïve, woman,” dissed Ning Ran who glared at Cheng Xiangyun.

“How am I naïve?” refuted Cheng Xiangyun.

“As you know, the poker face and I had been at odds ever since we met, and every meeting since then had only further that distaste for one another.”

“And now, we're forced to be a family, but that small connection wouldn't make him accept me.” “You didn't see the way he looked at me. It was like I wasn't even human. That poker face never thought about accepting me and wanted to pay me some money to get me to leave so that he could take the kids away,” explained Ning Ran with her teeth gritted.

“If that is the case... How much did he offer?”

“F*** you! You think I should just accept that money?” growled Ning Ran, “Are you insane? Do you think I'd abandon my kids for money?”

“Here's the thing. I'm gonna be brutally honest now, but you have no fighting chance against the Nan family.”

“I know,” said Ning Ran as she nodded, “That was why I didn't want to make things worse with that poker face.”

“If it comes down to it, you may as well take the money. They're taking the kids away regardless of whether you accept the money anyway so you may as well just accept it. Accepting the money doesn't mean abandoning the kids. With that money, you can do a lot of things for yourself and the kids, right? By the way, exactly how much was he offering?”

Ning Ran was speechless. That Cheng Xiangyun was still focused on the money.

I won't let them have my kids,” said Ning Ran as she sprung up,
