Ling Jiao cooperated well and completed the advertisement shoot over two days.
Then, after resting at home for two days to take care of the injured Yang Shasha, and when Ling Shasha's injury had improved a bit, he took her to participate in the casting for "Timeless Beauty".
Yang Shasha also lived up to expectations and successfully landed the role of the third female lead.
Right after signing the contract, Yang Shasha received a phone call and ran over to talk to Ling Jiao.
"Sister Lingjiao, my mom is here. Can she come to the apartment to cook for us tonight? Her cooking is delicious."
Ling Jiao chuckled and nodded, "Okay, I still have some work to do, you go pick her up first."
"Okay, come back for dinner soon." Yang Shasha waved to her and hurried off to pick up her mother.
After accompanying her to the interview, Ling Jiao rushed to two more engagements and didn't get back to her apartment until evening.
Upon entering the house, I saw a table full of exquisite home-style dishes laid out on the dining table.
"Sister Ling Jiao, you're back! There's only one more dish left before we can eat." Yang Shasha excitedly pulled her to the kitchen and introduced, "This is my mother."
"Hello, Auntie, I'm so sorry about Xiao Yang's injury." Ling Jiao greeted her politely and expressed her apologies for Yang Shasha's injury while saving her.
Yang's mother smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury, and Sha Sha said that you've been taking good care of her these past few days."
"Alright, sis, go wash your hands and get ready to eat." Yang Shasha couldn't stand their polite small talk and urged her to wash her hands and eat.
Ling Jiao put down her bag, went to the restroom to wash her hands, and came out just in time to find the food already on the table.
Yang's mother warmly served her soup, saying, "These past few days, Sha Sha has benefited greatly from your care, and I also heard that you helped her get her first role in a film."
“No, it’s the result of her own hard work,” Ling Jiao said with a smile.
Yang Shasha is not only talented in acting, but she also has some talent. As long as she works hard, she can definitely make it big.
Perhaps because she had risked her life to save her, she took special care of this little girl.
“Shasha only has one younger brother and has always hoped to have an older brother or sister. I hope you, Miss Ling, will take care of her while she’s here,” Mother Yang said half-jokingly.
Ling Jiao smiled faintly, eating without saying a word.
She is not used to having overly close relationships with people. Even though her assistant has known her for nearly ten years, they maintain a proper distance as friends.
"Mom, what are you saying? Sister Ling Jiao has already taken good care of me." Yang Shasha glared at her mother unhappily.
"Oh dear, I just hope you have a companion or a senior in this industry to guide you, so you won't go astray," Yang's mother explained.
Ling Jiao looked at the loving mother and daughter, a trace of melancholy flashing in her eyes. So this is how a daughter with a mother can act so affectionately.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll take good care of Shasha."
"Well... thank you in advance," said Yang's mother.
Because it was getting late, Ling Jiao asked Yang Shasha to let Yang's mother stay at the apartment.
The next morning, Yang's mother had already prepared breakfast for them, cooking chicken porridge, steamed dumplings, and xiaolongbao.
For the first time, Ling Jiao discovered that her apartment, where she occasionally stayed, had the warmth of human connection.
"I just made something quick, you guys wash your faces and come eat."
Ling Jiao and Yang Shasha washed up together and went to the restaurant for breakfast. While eating porridge, Yang's mother gave her some instructions.
"I've left some vegetables in the fridge, including stewed beef that you can heat up and eat in the next couple of days, as well as minced meat for soup. I've also frozen some dumplings that I've already made; you can cook them yourself if you want."
"Mom, don't you know that female celebrities have to lose weight?" Yang Shasha looked at her mother with a mixture of love and resentment.
Ling Jiao smiled faintly. "Thank you."
For some reason, seeing Yang Shasha and her daughter, she became somewhat curious about her mother, who had never seen her in over twenty years.
