Aunt Shu was extremely dejected by the news that Ran Xueyi was moving out. She was even more sad by the fact that Ran Xueyi was planning to move out tomorrow. Aunt Shu tried so hard to convince Ran Xueyi to stay a bit longer, even just for a few days, but the young lady was too stubborn and determined to move out so that Aunt Shu's tricks didn't have any effect on her.
At this time, Ran Xueyi was packing her things in her suitcase. There wasn't much since she only brought a few things with her. As for the clothes, jewelry and shoes that Song Yu Han got from his friend as 'gifts', she only took a few of the ones she really liked and put them inside her suitcase.
During this time, Aunt Shu tried a lot of things to make her change her mind. Cooking her favorite dishes, telling her stories back when she was younger, and even telling her how ungrateful her children were for leaving her alone in this old age. The old lady even told her that Song Yu Han would be so sad when he comes back home and sees that his wife was not there to welcome him.
Ran Xueyi could only laugh when she saw all this happen before her eyes. She never saw anything as reluctant to see her leave as Aunt Shu. When she left the Ran family, only the head housekeeper was there to see her leave. That housekeeper couldn't let go of that chance to even threaten her with her parents' authority over her.
As for her good parents and sister, there was no need to mention them since they only wanted her by their side to manipulate and deceive her.
And as much as Ran Xueyi wanted to stay in that villa and do nothing, just laze around... She couldn't give up her dreams to conquer the world of entertainment. She didn't want to be a kept woman who could only rely on a man.
No, that was something she didn't want.
The first time and second time was enough, Ran Xueyi won't let anything pass her up anymore and she wouldn't let Song Yu Han handle her problems for her again.
Dragging her suitcase towards the front door, Ran Xueyi looked behind her. Aunt Shu was wiping her eyes as tears fell from it.
"Aunt Shu, why are you crying? I'm just moving to the Imperial Capital and we'll see each other again. Besides, Song Yu Han could come and bring you there to visit. So, please don't cry anymore or you'll grow a few more white hairs on your head and wrinkle your beautiful face."
"What beautiful face?! I'm already old and my head is already white," Aunt Shu paused for a moment and finally sighed. "Alright, you can leave. But as soon as Xiao Han returns, I will tell him to move to the capital too. You two are a married couple. It's bad for you two to stay separated too much."
Ran Xueyi nodded.
With her things already packed and put inside the trunk of her car, Ran Xueyi waved her hand at Aunt Shu as she steered the wheels and left the villa compound to the city.
Instead of going through the trouble of leaving her car in the city and flying to the capital, Ran Xueyi took the risk of driving for several hours to the capital. Going by airplane was the quickest but it was also quite troublesome. Most of the airports in the city were owned by the people close to the Ran and Yang family. If they saw her name in the list of boarding passengers, they would immediately notify her parents. That would be too disastrous.
Hence, Ran Xueyi forced back down the laziness in her bones and steeled her will to drive herself around for several hours.
After hours of driving, Ran Xueyi finally saw a big sign on the side of the road signaling that she was almost there. The capital was even more marvelous and brilliant than the city around it. It was the center of attraction and the playground of all socialites and prominent families in Flower Country.
The high-rise buildings, the high-technology that some cities could not achieve to get were all found in the capital. And of course, the prices of things here were even much more expensive than the provinces and low-tier cities.
Stopping by a restaurant for lunch, Ran Xueyi ordered a few things before resting at her table. Compared to the city where people could recognize everyone's faces at one glance, Ran Xueyi was not worried about going out without wearing a disguise.
Right now, she was just a normal person eating at a restaurant in the capital. Her fame and title as an actress was not even worth mentioning in the bustling Imperial Capital where several Acting Queens and Emperors were produced and hailed by many people.
Moreover, these people weren't that fanatic towards artists. What they worshiped in the capital was none other than the members of the big and prominent families there. They flocked wherever these bigshots were and tried hard to get their attention and wanted to get closer to them.
After the waiter came back with her food, Ran Xueyi didn't quickly start eating. She stared at the huge TV against the wall which was airing the scandals and news in the capital. She wanted to gather as much information and recent issues that happened in the capital as she ate.
'Click!'
As she had all her attention on double-tasking, a click sound accompanied by a flash of light broke her focus. Ran Xueyi turned to where it sounded and saw the table next to her was occupied by two high school students.
The two were scared when they saw her turn and awkwardly smiled at her. They were embarrassed that the extremely beautiful lady sitting beside their table found out that they were taking photos of her.
"Sorry."
"We will delete it!"
The two simultaneously exclaimed, drawing the attention of the others nearby their tables. They raised their eyebrows, some frowned, and stared at them. However, their eyes finally landed on the young lady dressed in a casual attire and had her hair styled in a ponytail, elegant and alluring.
They stared at her for a bit longer. Ran Xueyi would be lying if she didn't feel a bit nervous being stared at by strangers. However, her experiences as an actress for a decade helped her calm down, making the people who were watching her feel a bit ashamed of their actions and thought that Ran Xueyi was very pleasing to the eyes and was amazed that she could stay calm in this nerve-wracking situation.
