Upon entering, Xia Wei Liang was immediately greeted with enthusiastic attention.
"Teacher Xia, you're so punctual. There aren't many celebrities like you who are so committed to time!"
"You're too kind."
Director Lin escorted the two to the dressing room and announced he needed to brief Nuomi He on the interview flow. Before leaving, he shot a meaningful glance at the makeup artist, who understood and excused herself on a pretext.
Xia Wei Liang found herself alone in the dressing room. She checked the time on her phone and called Song Yuan.
"Brother Yuan, are you lost? Why haven't you returned yet?"
As she was speaking, the door opened.
"You are... Wei Liang?"
Behind her, a timid, trembling voice spoke.
Xia Wei Liang's body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head...
Liu Wan Quan and his wife, Bao Fang, sat opposite Xia Wei Liang.
"Whether you acknowledge it or not, we are your biological parents. This fact cannot be changed!" Liu Wan Quan declared righteously, trying to make her face reality. "We've tried to contact you several times, but you treated us like beggars and sent us away! You sent ten thousand yuan, thinking you could buy out our parental bond? Let me tell you, we're not after money. We just want to acknowledge our own daughter. Is that wrong?"
After speaking, he glanced at his wife. "Ten thousand yuan" was what they had agreed upon earlier. As long as they held firm, Xia Wei Liang wouldn't be able to refute them!
However, Bao Fang still felt a bit uneasy. She kept crying, glancing up at Xia Wei Liang from time to time, and finally said tremblingly, "Wei Liang, I know we can't compare to your other parents. They own a large company and can provide you with a very comfortable life! But even if you're not satisfied, we are the ones who gave birth to you. Our love for you is no less than theirs..."
Xia Wei Liang sat opposite them, her expression chillingly calm.
In her previous life, she never had a face-to-face encounter with this couple, but in this life, it had happened!
Had they pushed her to this point because she hadn't reacted hysterically like in her previous life?
She didn't need to ask; she knew they wouldn't be here without someone orchestrating it.
She raised her eyes and surveyed the room, wondering if a trap had already been set, waiting for her to fall right into it.
"Wei Liang, it's truly unexpected that your heart is so cruel! Seeing me and your mother calling out to you on television again and again, you remained unmoved. I know that with such wealthy parents, acknowledging us now might cause you discomfort, but our blood ties are undeniable. No matter how much you dislike it, we are still your parents!" Su Dan Novel Network.
Liu Wan Quan grew more agitated as he spoke, slamming his hand on the table.
Bao Fang quickly tugged at him, coaxing, "Talk nicely to your daughter; she'll understand."
"Understand what? If she had even half of Yi Ran's sensibility, we wouldn't have to go through all this trouble. Have you heard what those netizens are saying about us? They say we're here to scam money! I just want to acknowledge my daughter, how is that scamming?"
Mentioning Xia Yi Ran, Bao Fang's eyes turned redder.
"...We've wronged Yi Ran. I can't believe she could still forgive us after learning the truth..."
"Yes, and what's so great about being biological? She just wants to get rid of us quickly so it doesn't affect her budding career!"
Bao Fang put on a pained, red-eyed face and looked at Xia Wei Liang, "Wei Liang, we really don't have any ulterior motives. You don't need to be afraid. We won't ask for a single cent from you; we just want to know if you're doing well..."
After a long barrage of complaints, Xia Wei Liang suddenly smiled.
From the moment they entered until now, she hadn't said a word, letting them speak unchecked. Her sudden laughter startled them both, and they stared at her intently.
"Am I doing well?" Xia Wei Liang pursed her red lips, her beautiful eyes meeting theirs directly. "Do you not know if I'm doing well?"
