Chapter 324 I was injured for her and owe her a favor
"This..." Chen Ma suddenly didn't know what to say, only feeling that Ning Yao was thinking about the child again, and that her mood would probably be bad later.
"Don't be nervous. What I mean is that he and my little darling are the same person. You shouldn't treat him like a stranger in the future."
Ning Yao still remembered the hurt look in Ning Moran's eyes when he heard Chen Ma call him "Mr. Ning," which was particularly heartbreaking.
Ning Yao hadn't originally planned to tell Chen Ma the true identities of the children too soon, but after thinking it over, she realized that Chen Ma wasn't an outsider and there was nothing to hide. If she told her sooner, she wouldn't have to worry about her four runaway children anymore.
After hearing the whole story, Chen Ma was not just a little surprised. She was stunned for a long time. Even after Ning Yao finished speaking, she stiffly raised her hand and pinched her own flesh, wondering if she was dreaming.
“Except for Xiao Liu, who hasn’t been found yet, all the other children have returned to my side. I’ll bring them to see you when I have the chance.” Ning Yao couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Chen Ma’s stunned expression.
"Okay, okay..." Chen Ma suddenly burst into tears, without warning, which startled Ning Moran and Ning Yao.
"Why are you crying? This is a good thing, don't cry." Ning Yao wiped away Chen Ma's tears, exchanged a silent glance with her son, and smiled.
The three of them chatted until late into the night. Ning Moran was too embarrassed to interrupt, but she frequently showed a worried expression.
What his mother needs most right now is a good rest; staying up late isn't good for her.
Chen Ma noticed Ning Moran's worry, pretended to yawn, and was then urged by Ning Yao to go back to her room to rest.
After Chen Ma left, Ning Moran naturally had to return to his room. Before leaving, he stood in front of Ning Yao with a calm expression and extended his palm.
"Huh?" Ning Yao didn't understand what her son meant by this, and a question mark appeared on her pretty face.
"Please give me your phone." Ning Moran said in a businesslike manner.
"what?"
“You need to rest now, it’s getting late. If you play on your phone, you’ll stay up late again, which is bad for your health. I’ll return your phone to you when you get up for breakfast tomorrow morning,” Ning Moran said.
Ning Yao was speechless after hearing Ning Moran's words. Who was the junior here?
However, Ning Yao learned from her experience of her children running away from home and didn't want to argue with them over trivial matters again. She tried to be accommodating as much as possible, especially since her son was doing it for her own good.
Ning Yao handed the phone to Ning Moran, who left satisfied...
At this moment, in the top-floor office of the Wens Group headquarters building, a tall man was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The computer screen displayed the information of two men. One man was handsome and dignified, while the other had a scar diagonally across his face, as if the injury had not been treated in time and had festered into a deep ravine, with the flesh not growing back to a normal shape.
Wen Tingye narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the cityscape outside the window, making it impossible to fathom what he was thinking.
"Are you really going to do this?" He Yu asked with some concern.
"Just do what I told you to do. As for the rest, don't take matters into your own hands if it's not your business." Wen Tingye's voice was deep and powerful, carrying a strong sense of intimidation that made people straighten their backs and want to stand at attention on the spot.
"Yes, Mr. Wen." He Yu didn't say anything more. He was just worried that Wen Tingye's actions would lose Miss Ning Yao's heart.
Ning Yao slept soundly through the night and didn't wake up until ten o'clock in the morning.
She asked the crew for leave, and Lu Qingshan approved it, but only for one day.
After changing her clothes and going downstairs, Ning Yao saw the breakfast that Chen Ma had prepared for everyone. Guan Ying had already gotten up and was sitting upright on the sofa in the living room, without going anywhere.
Ning Moran was sitting on a hanging chair outside the villa reading a book she had taken from Ning Yao's room.
Hearing the noise, Ning Moran and Guan Ying both looked down at Ning Yao, who was going downstairs.
Ning Yao first smiled and greeted Guan Ying, who was closest to her, then raised her eyebrows and reached out to her son, making it clear that she wanted her phone.
Then Ning Yao sat down in the restaurant chair, chose the light and easy-to-digest pumpkin and millet porridge, and elegantly held the spoon to eat.
Ning Moran returned the phone to Ning Yao, who took it and saw several messages and calls.
After reading through the messages one by one, Ning Yao crossed out the unimportant ones, ate a small half bowl of porridge, and then stopped eating.
"Ranran, are you free today?"
"I'm free." Ning Moran really was free. Even if he wasn't, he would make time to take care of his mother first.
"Mom's company is planning to put its new skincare products on the production line for mass production. Before that, you need to help Mom add a few more ingredients, preferably in a way that can be concealed from others."
The most effective ingredient in the essence is the diluted spiritual spring water, but if this unknown element is detected by someone with ulterior motives, they might make a big fuss about it. Ning Yao wants to prevent this from happening.
"No problem, leave it to me. I'll go to Mom's company's research center today."
"Thank you, my good son!" Ning Yao looked at Ning Moran with a face full of relief.
"By the way, I heard that the auction that Xiao Liu is going to is mainly for charity and is very large in scale. The Huo family from the Imperial City will also be there, is that right?"
"Yes, the Huo family will definitely be there."
Ning Yao raised an eyebrow, her eyes darkening for a moment, but she remained silent.
After resting at home for a day, Ning Yao returned to the film crew.
After returning to the film set to resume work, Ning Yao discovered that Tang Xiaoge's hand was wrapped in bandages, and it looked like she was injured.
When filming the day before yesterday, Tang Xiaoge was wearing a military uniform, long sleeves and trousers, completely covered up, so the injury was not visible at all.
Ning Yao sat in the lounge while Rola did her makeup. Li Xuan's own makeup was simpler, and since she arrived early, it was done quickly.
She walked over to Ning Yao and saw that her makeup was basically done and she was getting her hair done, so they could chat without any problems. She then started to exchange pleasantries.
“Xi Yao, I’ve noticed that Senior Tang is really good to you. The injury on his arm is quite serious. I heard it was when he was saving you. Yesterday, when you weren’t on set, he had a high fever and was on an IV drip all day. He couldn’t get out of bed.”
Li Xuan is a chatterbox; even if Ning Yao doesn't talk much, she can still chatter away by herself.
"He has a fever?" Ning Yao was somewhat taken aback, seemingly not expecting this.
No wonder Director Lu approved the leave so readily; it turns out that another lead actress had a fever and was sick. Even if she hadn't asked for leave, the film probably wouldn't have been able to be shot.
"Yes, it was quite serious. He even told everyone in the crew not to mention it and not to tell anyone that he was injured while saving you."
Li Xuan sighed. Who would do a favor for someone without expecting anything in return? Tang Xiaoge is such a good person.
If it were her, she wouldn't publicize it herself, but she wouldn't stop others from talking about it in private either; it would be best if the person involved knew.
Upon hearing Li Xuan's words, Ning Yao couldn't sit still any longer. Tang Xiaoge had been injured because of her, so she had to go and comfort him.
Tang Xiaoge was getting her makeup done. Her face initially looked pale and sickly, but with the makeup artist's touch-ups, she quickly looked more energetic, though her eyes still looked tired.
A clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
"Teacher Tang, are you inside? I'm Luo Xiyao, and I have something I'd like to discuss with you."
Tang Xiaoge's fingers, which were resting on the side of the chair, suddenly twitched, and she leaned forward slightly. The makeup artist was caught off guard and drew an extra line with her eyebrow pencil.
"Brother Xiao, I'm sorry." The makeup artist quickly apologized, but the person involved didn't take it to heart and just waved his hand absentmindedly.
"I'm here, come in." Tang Xiaoge's voice was slightly hoarse.
After receiving a response, Ning Yao cautiously pushed open the door and entered the lounge.
At this moment, the lounge was only occupied by a few makeup artists and stylists, as well as Tang Xiaoge's personal assistant; there weren't too many people there.
