Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yuan Yu could not tell who it was.
Shen Xi uttered, “It’s Li Jingran.
The woman sure had the cheek to get over here and say those words blatantly. Was it not enough that she tore Yuan Yu’s family apart?
Yuan Yu turned back and observed Shen Xi’s unconcerned eyes turned cold and murderous. The voice outside had him pull a sour look. “I’ll go and check it out.”
Shen Xi scoffed coldly. “Why give her the ti of the day?”
The shouting was still going on out there.
“Who am I? I’m his mother. Well, now you know I have all the right to get in there.” Li Jingran’s voice echoed through the door.
Shen Xi could barf. She turned to Yuan Yu. “Big Brother, you should wear mourning clothes to see her.”
Mother?
For Li Jingran to use this term, Shen Xi believed she insulted the most beautiful and affectionate word in the world. Had Li Jingran no sha?
“Don’t co out.” Yuan Yu looked back to tell Shen Xi before leaving the room.
With Yuan Yu making an appearance, Li Jingran brought out her authority as soone older and smirked at him. “Chairman Yuan, I see you’re finally gracing
with your presence.”
She knew it. Once an ingrate, always an ingrate. She told her husband to finish him off, but Su Yi was kind to spare the young boy because he was family.
Li Jingran went to lengths to toss Yuan Yu abroad while having an insider reporting back to her. As she expected, Yuan Yu beca nothing but a useless fop day by day.
To her dismay, that very good-for-nothing playboy who knew only to party returned to the country and established an entertainnt company to rival the Su family.
Did he think he could destroy the Su family? Dream on!
Tagging along, Su Ruowan let out an embarrassed smile at Yuan Yu. She greeted him as big brother and tugged at Li Jingran.
Cosmos Entertainnt was at the height of its success. Despite being established less than a year ago, Cosmos Entertainnt had made a na for themselves in the entertainnt world that even Tianheng Entertainnt owned by the Su family had to take seriously.
Ever since Mom and Dad found out that Yuan Yu founded Cosmos Entertainnt, they had been looking for ways to et him, but to no avail.
Mom ca to audition and see him.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Not looking the least bit angry, Yuan Yu looked at Li Jingran and asked, “Do you need sothing, Ms. Li?”
Li Jingran was not going to let the opportunity slip now that she finally had him. “Can we have a mont alone?”
She wanted to know what he was up to. He was delusional to think he could go against the Su family with a newly established company. Li Jingran was going to make him think twice.
“I’m sorry, I don’t have the ti. Please leave.” Yuan Yu said politely while keeping a graceful smile across his face.
Li Jingran gnashed her teeth. “Swing by the house tonight. Your dad has sothing to discuss with you.”
Yuan Yu was still flashing those pearly whites. “My schedule is full for the next few days. I’ll give you a rain check.”
As outraged as Li Jingran was, she still had to keep up with appearances so as not to cause a scene. “Did you forget what tonight is? Do I need to remind you?”
Her words saw Yuan Yu’s pupils dilated with a surge of bloodthirst coming through. The air seed to be sucked into a black hole as he took a glance at his secretary. “Please show them the way out.”
Li Jingran suddenly took a step forward and whispered in his ear. “Your mom and grandfather’s ashes are still kept in our ho’s ancestral shrine.”
The last ti the ingrate was back at Su’s residence was at the end of last year. No one had been in touch with him since nor did anyone care. It never crossed the Su family’s mind that he would secretly plot against them.
With both arms hanging by his sides clenching into fists, Yuan Yu curled his lips into a smirk. “I’ll return tonight.”
How dare they threaten him!
They had the nerve to threaten him with Mom and Granddad’s ashes.
Su Yi, that b*stard, was finally desperate enough to play hardball.
“We’ll wait for you to join us for dinner.” Li Jingran broke into an elegant and dignified smile before adding. “I have one more request. I wonder if I could et with Screenwriter Cloud Seven.”
Yuan Yu gazed at the woman’s fake smile. Just like back then, Yuan Yu still had strong feelings about avenging his mother. Still, he politely grinned. “I hadn’t t Screenwriter Cloud Seven myself. He’s always the one contacting , not the other way round.”
He might as well jump on the bandwagon to play a ga with them!
Li Jingran brought up Cloud Seven in passing, so she did not plan on pushing Yuan Yu’s button since he was hellbent on keeping mums. Even a worm would turn, not to ntion an ingrate.
She got what she ca for – getting him to co ho. Su Yi had his ways to get Yuan Yi to yield once the latter stepped into the house.
Yuan Yu watched with murderous eyes as Li Jingran took off with Su Ruowan. He then entered the office and languidly leaned against the door while looking at Shen Xi. “How long is the ga going on for?”
His patience was running thin.
“What did she say to you?” Shen Xi listlessly inquired.
“She reminded
that my mom and granddad’s ashes are still with them.” Yuan Yu curled his lips, looking rather playful, disdainful, and out for blood. “They have no idea that I replaced my mom and granddad’s ashes twenty years ago.”
He did not feel comfortable leaving Mom and Granddad’s ashes in the Su family’s shrine while he was alone abroad.
“Big Brother, we have to take it one step at a ti. We can’t rush in our quest to crush the Su family. We need to take our ti.” Shen Xi had her plans. Thus far, the Su family was inching right into her trap.
The bloodthirst in Yuan Yu slowly faded. He muttered, “Fine.”
He had full confidence in Shen Xi. Li Jingran’s attitude struck a nerve in him, but Yuan Yu felt better now that he had cald down. A quick death was an easy way out for the Su family. They should suffer hell and die in despair!
For the audition, actors would know right away if they got the part. The signing of the contract would ensue.
Li Jingran and Su Ruowan got the parts successfully. However, they had no inkling about their characters in the TV series to this day.
Su Ruowan was the first supporting actress, and she played a young heiress.
Li Jingran acquired a minor role. She believed it was beneath her to play a role with barely any scenes. However, Screenwriter Cloud Seven ntioned that he admired Wanwan and thought her mien suited the role of the first supporting actress. He could hand the part over to Wanwan on the condition that Li Jingran made a guest appearance on the TV series.
Screenwriter Cloud Seven was true to his word as Wanwan managed to take down the role. The contract was delivered to the eting room.
At present, Li Jingran, Su Ruowan, and Hu Zheng, the director in charge of the contract gathered in the eting room.
Li Jingran’s expression changed as she scanned the contract. Suddenly, she turned her gaze to the director. “Mr. Hu, what’s the aning of this contract? I’ve never seen such a strict clause in all my days in entertainnt.”
It was written clearly on the contract that there was a thousandfold penalty for breach of contract.
A thousandfold penalty! Her pay was two million yuan, so that made the penalty for non-compliance two billion yuan!
