"Who will stay with this old man then?" A voice interrupted their show of love and affection. They both laughed. "That is not a problem. We will come and spend the week with you. We can also have dinner together sometime. We will not forget you so stop worrying. We care and love you alot dad. Besides you were the one who helped us to arrive safely here," Jiang Meilin said.

"Okay fine. I will miss you both though," old man Jiang said with a pout. They teased him further and the dinning room was filled with their laughter.

Meanwhile, Bai Ming's career as an actress was not as she had planned it to be. After her deal with Mr Bryan got destroyed by her stepsister, Bai Renxiang, things got hard. Bai Ming could not get a better role in movies she took an audition for. It was either the third role lead or one that she would appear in for a few minutes in a scene. She was so frustrated.

But it got a little better after she modeled for her father's company in the jewelry collection they had newly launched. She status elevated a little. She would sometimes get calls from other companies to advertise their products. But all these companies were small ones and she wanted to be a model for the big sharks in City X.

"Curse you Bai Renxiang. If you had just continued being a cow in my slaughter house, I would have been one of those famous actresses by now. You must pay. I'll my sure that I ruin you life," Bai Ming cursed.

"First, I should try to work harder to rise up to fame. I needed a to find a big shot to hook up with. I want a rich hunk as my boyfriend and I know who will help me get one."

Bai Ming picked her phone from the table and called her mother. After two rings, the call got connected. "Hello pumpkin, how are you? Is everything alright?" Lin Ying hurriedly asked her daughter.

"I am fine mum. I just, well I feel so lonely and bored. There is nothing for me to do," Bai Ming whinned like the spoilt brat that she was. She knew her mother would find different means to cheer her up and that was what she was aiming for.

"Bored? I thought you were filming in Love War. So why are you feeling do lonely," Lin Ying asked confusedly.

"You know I didn't get an important role in that movie. I had finished all the shoot in a week. I don't even have a friend or someone that would accompany me. I feel so.. depressed," she said the last part in a soft broken voice.

"WHAT? Depressed. Don't say that sweetie. You are not alone. Umm let me call one of those rich ladies I hangout with-"

"Mum you are showing off your friends in my face. You are rubbing salt on my wound, you know."

"Oh no sweetie you got it wrong. Remember what I told you last time a out your Aunt Sue?"

"No."

"Sigh, you never listen to my story at all do you? Anyway, Feng Sue is a good friend of mine from way back. She like you alot and she had also mentioned how you and her son got along when you were kids," Lin Ying said in excitement.

Bai Ming smiled bashfully. Of course she remembers that kid. He was her crush when they were grade school. Although they attend the same high school and University, she still thinks about him sometimes.

"What are you implying mum?"

"Well, you know her son is back from the states and she well wanted to take him around but she was busy and-"

"Mum go straight to the point already," Bai Ming said impatiently.

"Fine. She asked me if you were free any day so that the two of you could hangout and you can also show h around. What do you think?" Lin Ying informed. She was euphoric when Feng Sue asked her about it. Her daughter had found favour on the eyes of Mrs Feng. It was totally great news.

"Well, I guess I am free nowadays. I-I mean if she still wants me to go. I'm bored myself, so I might as well use this opportunity to get rid of my loneliness by accompanying him," Bai Ming agreed. She could kill three birds with a stone if she got into a relationship with Mrs Feng's son.

The Feng family were among the prominent and wealthy families in the country. If she were to get married into their family, her status in the entertainment world will rise, her father's company will also gain great benefits and she could deal with that stupid stepsister if hers.
