Chapter 575. Past (2)
Sis Lan looked down and avoided Mu Yuchen’s sharp gaze.
She took a deep breath and said, “When she had just gotten pregnant with her first child back then, I told her to get an abortion. She was so popular at that time and I was sure she’d be entering Hollywood very soon and become a superstar. I’m sure you know how precious that opportunity is to an artiste. It’s similar to how musicians would want to make themselves known in Vienna. When Mu Zi first started out in the industry, that was her goal.
“I admit that she’s had the most potential among all the artistes I’ve worked with in my whole career, but she’s also the most worrisome one. Someone like you, Chairman Mu, must know the difficulty of this industry. We need to scout new talents, and to make a new artiste popular…
“The company spent a lot of resources on her, and she was just one step away from success. I never expected something like that to happen. I treated her like my own sister, and I did my best to help her, yet she disappointed me… but I can’t just give up on her. I was finding ways to help her give birth in secret and then re-enter the industry afterwards. Unexpectedly, she fell into depression and was emotionally unstable. The company couldn’t do anything but leave her alone for a while. We got someone to help her out and hoped she could recover soon.”
Sis Lan was panting a little by now, so Ah Mo went up and helped her to take the glass of water away.
Mu Yuchen gave her a dark stare. “How was your relationship with my aunt?”
The question threw Sis Lan off-guard. She raised her head and looked at him, but soon looked back down and did not reply to his question.
Ah Mo shot Mu Yuchen a doubtful glance. After some hesitation, he started to understand what was happening. He then averted his gaze to look at Sis Lan.
“I investigated your situation with my aunt back then. Sure, the both of you were very close to each other initially, but you guys seemed to have conflicts more often afterward and some people reported to have seen you two argue in private, so it seems that your relationship with my aunt isn’t as amicable as you said.” Mu Yuchen’s tone of voice was calm as he reiterated the investigation results.
