I Beg of You

Shen Que had mercilessly hung up the phone again. Father Yuan was furious while Mother Yuan felt wronged. They were the ones asking Shen Que for help, but Father Yuan did not stop scolding Shen Que at the side. It was no wonder that Shen Que was unwilling to help. However, for Yuan Ranran, Mother Yuan had no choice but to call Shen Que again. She called twice but did no one picked up the phone.

Mother Yuan could only say helplessly to Father Yuan, "She's not picking up the phone. It seems that we can't help Ranran with this matter. We can only go to Shen Que's adoptive parents. Perhaps she still has some feelings for them since she grew up there."

Father Yuan slammed his hand on the table, and the teacup on the table trembled. "Shen Que has no manners at all. She even dares to not pick up her parents' call! Alright, we'll do as you say!" Although he did not like Shen Que, he had no choice but to do so for Yuan Ranran's sake.

The two of them called Father and Mother Shen and told them everything that had happened. Although Father and Mother Shen had watched Shen Que grow up, they didn't like her. Compared to Shen Que, the two of them felt that Yuan Ranran was gentle and kind, thus they liked Yuan Ranran more. Hearing this, the two of them were also dissatisfied that Shen Que didn't help Yuan Ranran, so they agreed to Father and Mother Yuan's suggestion without hesitation.

Shen Que was alone in her room since Fan Cheng had some work to attend to. He did not want to disturb Shen Que's rest, so he went back to his room for a video conference.

Seeing that the phone in her hand had finally stopped ringing, Shen Que's heart gradually calmed down. She really did not have a good impression of her so-called biological parents. However, before she could enjoy the peace and quiet for five minutes, the phone rang again. Looking at the familiar name on the phone, Shen Que could not help but feel a headache coming. She did not expect that Father and Mother Yuan would actually tell her adoptive parents about this matter.

Although she had grown up by her adoptive parents' side, they did not treat her very well. This was because both of them preferred Yuan Ranran over Shen Que by quite a margin.

Shen Que had no choice but to pick up the phone. The minute the call went through, Mother Shen's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xiao Que, I heard that something happened to Ranran. The two of you are on the same set. Why didn't you help her?" The words Mother Shen said were more straightforward than Mother Yuan.

"I can't help her with this matter! It's the director's decision," Shen Que explained somewhat irritably. There was a hint of anger in her tone.

"Why can't you help her? I heard that you were the victim. I don't believe that the director would ignore your words." Mother Shen said unyieldingly.

Shen Que's face turned cold. Did Mother Shen mean that she should use her injuries in exchange for Yuan Ranran's return? Even if Sun Yi was willing to agree to this request, she would never do it. Shen Que knew for a fact that Yuan Ranran was the one who had instructed her assistant to do all this.

Shen Que was silent. The sounds of things rustling sounded from the phone, and in the next second, Father Shen had the phone.

"Xiao Que, mom and dad are begging you, please help Ranran this time." Compared to Mother Shen's direct request, Father Shen made it sound nicer. However, the words that came out of his mouth had the same intention of forcing Shen Que to plead for Yuan Ranran.

"Anything you say is useless. There's nothing I can do in this matter." The moment she finished saying these words, she hung up the phone again.

Even if Shen Que originally had a trace of affection for Father and Mother Shen, it had vanished into thin air at this moment. No one in this world truly cared for her, except for Fan Cheng. Shen Que sighed and thought to herself, so long as her relationship with Fan Cheng was fine, anything that happened to anyone else was none of her business

Afraid that they would call again, she simply turned off her cell phone and threw it on the bedside table.
