Chapter 98: 31. Protecting employees is indeed the boss’s responsibility_3

"Drip drip..."

Looking down, this time the caller ID displayed plane.

"Yinuo sis"

Without any doubt, Bai Yi answered the call and brought the phone to her ear,

"Yinuo sis, you..."

"Bai Yi, where the hell are you right now?!"

It was Zuo Jiangqin’s voice.

Bai Yi’s body stiffened slightly, and she said in disbelief,

"Mom?"

"You still know I’m your mom? Running out for a whole night and not coming home, do you have any idea how worried I was?!"

Hearing her mother’s somewhat shaky voice, Bai Yi pursed her lips, still with a heart of reluctance.

But at this moment, the place in her heart stung by her mother’s words was still throbbing with pain.

The pain refused reconciliation, forcing her to rebel...

Even if the result of rebellion was always intense conflict.

After a moment of silence, she finally said through clenched teeth,

"I will come back by myself later, you don’t need to come looking for me..."

"What do you mean I don’t need to come looking for you! If I hadn’t come looking for you, I wouldn’t even know you’re still in contact with this Li Yinuo!"

As expected, Zuo Jiangqin was infuriated by Bai Yi’s defiance,

"I told you not to associate with these riffraff, and it’s that tattoo girl who has led you astray!! Ignoring the bright path in front of you and always thinking about messing around, I’ll see how I deal with you... where the heck are you?!"

When Bai Yi heard these words, the reservoir of anger in her heart was also ignited.

She covered her phone with her hand, yelling into it,

"Everything is my fault, everything is someone else’s fault! Have you never done anything wrong?!"

"What have I done wrong? Tell me? Raising you, caring for your daily meals and clothing, what’s there for you to be unsatisfied about?"

"You..."

Bai Yi’s face flushed red, she grasped the phone intending to say something, then realized that many people by the roadside were looking over.

A flush of embarrassment rose to her cheeks, her eyes brimming with moisture as she hastily walked toward a small path nearby, clutching her phone.

But even this short moment of silence made Zuo Jiangqin on the other end of the phone truly angry.

From last night to this evening, she had been searching for a whole day and she blamed all of it on Bai Yi’s recklessness,

"Look at you, not attending classes properly, not participating in activities properly, half-hearted in everything you do, doesn’t it worry me? You act like this and you get upset when I reprimand you, do I have to pamper you for you to understand?!"

"Do I need you to do this? You never asked for my own opinion! Whether it’s participating in various activities or going to Yuan Yue, everything was decided by you! Since you’ve decided on everything, then go ahead and do it yourself, what do you need me for?"

"You think I’m doing this for who? It’s for your own good! These opportunities that you look down on, others can’t even beg for! Do you know how many favors your Uncle Jiang owes for your sake? Do you think it’s that easy to get into the entertainment industry?"

At this moment, at the other end of the phone, in a room on the second floor of a tattoo shop, surrounded by a bunch of police officers and a colorful-haired, lip-pierced tattooed woman, everyone sighed simultaneously.

They had already told Zuo Jiangqin, no matter what, to first convince the child to come back.

But as soon as Zuo Jiangqin heard the chaotic noises from the other side and thought about Bai Yi’s foolishness, she became infuriated.

Especially after being talked back to by Bai Yi, her anger even grew.

"You have me and your Uncle Jiang bustling about for you, does your schoolmate Yan Huan have that? Without a father or mother, they have to work to earn their living expenses! You don’t want to enter the entertainment industry, dissatisfied with our arrangement, alright then! Why don’t you show some achievements in some other aspect then?

"You’ve been a mess since you were young in your studies! So fond of writing songs, how many people buy your music? Good songs talk about distribution, exposure, let alone your amateur music! Clearly mediocre in everything, yet you have to argue this and that... where are there so many issues to discuss, I’m asking you?!"

On this end of the phone, covered with a mask over her mouth and nose already stifling, listening to her mother’s denial of everything she has chosen, she felt even more breathless.

Especially when she finally heard her mother’s critique of her own songs.

Of course, she felt angry, as if there were thousands of words she wanted to say, but for some reason, tears could no longer be held back,

"Zuo Jiangqin, I truly... hate you the most..."

The next second, she suddenly hurled her phone with force.

"Bang!"

The unprotected phone instantly crashed against the wall, the glass screen burst into huge cracks and then smashed heavily onto the ground.

Inside, Zuo Jiangqin’s voice came intermittently,

"...you listen to me... do you hear..."

Then, it completely went black, the sound cut off.

Bai Yi leaned against the wall, her head down, droplets of water gathering on the inside of her sunglasses lenses, then spilling down, falling onto the mask.

Her body softened bit by bit, sliding down the wall, until she finally sat on the ground.

Hugging her knees, she couldn’t help but start crying,

"Wha... wha... whaaa..."

She really didn’t know what to do, how to make her mother satisfied.

She knew she truly hadn’t worked hard enough in her studies, she knew the path of a star wasn’t easy, that one couldn’t get everything they wanted...

But was all this really in conflict with what she desired?

She just didn’t want to be compared to Yan Huan anymore, didn’t want to listen to her own mother incessantly praising others, always telling her to learn from them.

She just wanted to do things she liked, wanted her mother to seriously listen to her songs, and then say "Not bad".
