In the following days, Su Ding did not see Xu Rong come again.
Wang Siwei's behavior was also the same as usual, but she still took care of the child's psychological well-being as much as possible and guided him.
If Wang Siwei was willing to withdraw the lawsuit or return to the family, she would respect it.
The companionship of Jin Xiaoxi and Su Xiaorui seemed to give Wang Siwei more security, and she did not change her mind.
To prevent Zhang Gang and Xu Rong from excessively harassing the children, Su Ding also arranged for several people from Zhang Hou to protect the children throughout their schooling.
These days were relatively peaceful.
However, Su Ding did not let her guard down. Based on her investigation of Zhang Gang these past few days, she found that he was inherently dissolute and had dated many girlfriends before getting together with Xu Rong, from whom he had benefited in one way or another.
Zhang Gang was in the packaging business and earned a good income, but he was very stingy and loved money immensely.
Therefore, Su Ding concluded that as long as Zhang Gang was involved, he would absolutely not agree to Xu Rong leaving her property to the children. If they insisted on suing later, Zhang Gang might resort to sinister means.
Su Ding could only be cautious, and even more cautious.
While focusing on the children's safety, Su Ding also had to join the crew.
Xiao Yuan continued to be her agent, and she hired several assistants who were discreet. Additionally, Su Ding encountered Shao Qingqing on the set.
Su Ding was having her makeup done in a private dressing room.
Shao Qingqing knocked on the door and walked in, saying somewhat awkwardly, "Xiao Xu..."
"Is something wrong?"
Su Ding looked at her without much emotional fluctuation.
Previously, she had no animosity towards her aunt and instead thought of helping her if she could. However, the last time Shao Qingqing went to the Jin family with Madam Shao, she didn't inform Su Ding, which created a rift in Su Ding's heart.
"I'm sorry, I should have told you last time..."
Shao Qingqing lowered her head, saying with great self-reproach.
She regretted it deeply, regretting why she had wanted to take advantage and deliberately concealed that matter from Su Ding. She had been regretting and fearing these past few days, worried that Su Ding would cancel her acting opportunity because of it.
She waited nervously for several days, but the cancellation did not come.
Until today, when she saw Xiao Yuan.
She asked Xiao Yuan if Su Ding had arrived. Xiao Yuan, unaware of what had happened between them, thought her niece wanted to chat and let her in.
"Alright, I don't want to talk about the past. I'm about to get busy, you can go out now."
Su Ding coldly interrupted her apology.
She didn't care whether Shao Qingqing truly knew she was wrong or if she was deliberately showing goodwill to secure future opportunities; it didn't matter.
In the future, she and the Shao family would go their separate ways. As long as they didn't provoke her, she wouldn't deliberately target them. She didn't have the time.
Seeing Su Ding's attitude, Shao Qingqing naturally realized something.
She was somewhat dejected but also helpless, so she left awkwardly. She knew that the path ahead would have to be walked by herself.
"Xiao Xu, it's getting cold. Take good care of yourself. I'll be going now."
Hearing the dressing room door close, Su Ding rubbed her temples and let the makeup artist continue.
The subsequent filming went relatively smoothly.
Although some actors recognized Su Ding during the process, none dared to say anything, as securing a role was not easy.
Su Ding spent several consecutive days immersed in the crew and caused no trouble.
One day, when Su Ding finished work and planned to go home for a day of rest, she received a call from Zhang Hou on her way back!
"Miss Su, Zhang Gang brought people to abduct and kidnap Wang Siwei from the kindergarten. They have been apprehended by our people."
"Wang Siwei has been sent home. We are currently in the East District."
Upon hearing this, Su Ding's heart sank. She had been worried that something would happen, but it still happened!
Fortunately, she had arranged for Zhang Hou to provide covert protection.
Su Ding felt a pang of fear, but thinking of Zhang Gang's actions, her gaze turned sharp.
"Send me the location, I'm coming over now."
