Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Preditation
“The main thing is… Mr. Sang, what you’ve given is really too much, staying in a budget hotel doesn’t quite match my status anymore.”
Chu Yin is truly not suited for lancholy.
Because her life has already been lancholic enough.
Sang Li saw through her but said nothing with a smile.
He simply pushed the breakfast towards her, making it convenient for her to take.
After breakfast, Chu Yin left the hospital with Sang Li.
The house she rented was a place she’d wanted to rent for a long, long ti.
The bed in the bedroom faced the floor-to-ceiling window.
Opening the window led to a large balcony, where the tall sycamore trees carried romance all year round.
Previously, she had no money and didn’t want her dreary aura to taint such a place.
This ti, she ca to terms with it.
So as soon as she woke up in the hospital, she contacted the landlord online.
When she arrived at the budget hotel, Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen were already waiting for her in the lobby.
“Zhiyi, why is the Third Young Master here too?”
Chu Yin was a bit embarrassed.
“He ca to rest, are we enough? Want to get a moving company?” Lin Zhiyi asked.
“No need, I don’t have much stuff, I’ll order so food to the new place later, today I’ll show you my skills.”
Chu Yin visibly gained vitality.
In the past, no matter how sharp-tongued she was, she still seed like a dood character from a novel, a white moonlight.
Lacking vitality.
Lin Zhiyi held her arm: “Big star, just take a good rest, aren’t there many jobs waiting for your ti now.”
Chu Yin smiled and led them upstairs.
Only to see a cleaner dragging a large trash bag out of the door.
Chu Yin glanced inside the ssy room, hurriedly stopping the cleaner.
“Wait a mont, why are you throwing away my things? My lease isn’t up until the end of the year.”
The cleaner recognized Chu Yin and helplessly said: “Miss, the front desk told to clean up, said your family ca to get your things and forced the hotel to cancel the lease.”
“My family?”
Chu Yin repeated this and imdiately rushed into the room to open the cabinet.
The hotel had a separate small safe, which had already been emptied of its contents.
Chu Yin went weak at the knees, falling backward.
Thankfully, Sang Li reached out just in ti to support her.
Lin Zhiyi looked at the empty safe and asked: “What was lost?”
Chu Yin’s face was pale: “The jewelry you gave before, as well as the jewelry set from the company for recording the show. I’m currently trying to terminate the contract with the company, if I can’t return the jewelry, I’ll have to pay an astronomical breach of contract fee.”
The fee is unimaginably high to many celebrities.
This is also why celebrities would rather endure company exploitation and wait for contracts to expire than terminate halfway.
Because there’s always a breach clause waiting for you.
But walking this path leaves no choice, the company needs the artist’s popularity, and artists need the company’s resources.
Lin Zhiyi glanced at Chu Yin: “How much.”
Chu Yin took a deep breath, holding out three fingers.
“Three million? So much?” Lin Zhiyi was stunned.
“Thirty million.”
Chu Yin delivered another blow.
Sang Li furrowed his brows: “What jewelry?”
Chu Yin opened her photo album on the phone.
Lin Zhiyi leaned in to take a look.
“These are Xue Man Studio’s earrings, forty thousand a pair, how are they demanding thirty million?”
“That’s how the contract was written,” Chu Yin replied.
“Were you tricked into signing it?” Sang Li asked.
“My mom signed it, at that ti I was still in college, my sister…”
Chu Yin didn’t finish.
She was still not used to burdening others with her family matters.
Awkwardly she said, “Don’t worry about , I’ll handle it.”
Turning, she dialed her mother’s number.
But it was her sister, Chu Wu, who answered.
“Big star, how co you have ti to call us?” Chu Wu sneered.
“Chu Wu, did you steal the things from my safe?” Chu Yin questioned.
“Sis, how can you say that? We’re family, how can you call it stealing? Even if the police ca, it’s just a family matter. Besides, we just went to look in on you, didn’t take your things.”
Chu Wu’s voice softened, full of grievance.
Before Chu Yin could speak, soone else took over on the phone.
Imdiately she heard her mother’s reproachful voice.
“Chu Yin! Why do you always bully your sister? I’m telling you, we didn’t take anything, if you need to pay, go pay it yourself!”
“Didn’t take? Then how do you know I need to pay? What exactly do you want? Do you know the company can call the police?”
Chu Yin tried hard to control herself, still helplessly asking the reason.
Her mother seed to have anticipated her questioning.
Firmly asserted, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, we’re honest and don’t understand these things. Besides, your company’s doing fine, why terminate? You get a little fa and want to go independent? Just you? From childhood until now, when have you succeeded in anything? You’re just jealous of your sister!”
“Enough! I understand, this is the company’s intention, right? Do you know what they privately make artists do?”
“I said I don’t understand the depths of the entertainnt circle, all I know is you’re ungrateful, gaining a bit of fa and wanting to break the contract. Fine then, go terminate it yourself, as if I don’t know your capabilities? In the end, you’ll just pathetically beg others to let you go, won’t you?”
Ridicule, more ridicule.
Ever since there was a sister at ho, she has always been the one doing wrong, committing misdeeds.
The mont she resists is seen as being ungrateful, not magnanimous, unlike her obedient and sensible sister.
Chu Yin lowered her head further upon sensing their gaze.
She dared not respond to their gazes, she didn’t want others to think she couldn’t do anything well either.
Just as her emotions were stirred again by her family, a hand from behind took her phone.
“No need to worry, she will terminate.”
The man’s voice was calm yet carried a chill.
Chu Yin turned to face Sang Li, flustered.
Sang Li said nothing, just placed the phone back in her hand.
Lin Zhiyi recalled the conversation between Chu Yin and her mother and imdiately realized the complexity of the situation.
“Seems like your company sees your value and wants to use the astronomical penalty as a deterrent against contract termination, forty thousand for a high popularity female star is quite profitable.”
“Not necessarily,” Sang Li pondered.
“Indeed not necessarily,” Gong Chen stood at the door, pointing at the corridor’s surveillance, “Just asked the hotel manager, the surveillance broke a day ago, thus cannot prove that Chu Yin’s mother took the jewelry.”
He then pointed at Chu Yin: “Let’s not forget, the jewelry was already given to Chu Yin, unless her company had foresight, knowing she would turn around her life, why give her earrings worth forty thousand?”
Lin Zhiyi quickly processed this.
“Chu Yin, does your company have a habit of giving jewelry in advance?”
“For those with great fa it’s prepared in advance, sotis they are asked to take more photos and post them online, also as a form of promotion, for us… forget it,” Chu Yin shook her head.
“Then why were you given it in advance this ti?”
“The company said the devoted character I played resonated, rewarding by bolstering the next show, letting take them earlier to take more pictures. If I hadn’t been caught, I should’ve worn them at the recorded program the day after the party.”
So at the ti, Chu Yin didn’t think much about it.
The fault lay with her lifelong habit of using the sa password.
No one else knew, but her parents did.
Lin Zhiyi contemplated and shook his head: “Is it really just a coincidence?”
Gong Chen interrupted bluntly.
“Her fa isn’t enough for the company to offer her earrings worth forty thousand, it can only be said soone has long planned to bring down Chu Yin, the earrings just serving as a trap.”
Chu Yin’s parents taking the earrings was coincidental, but bringing down Chu Yin was preditated.
