Chapter 429: Name Your Price
‘Great. now I’m a dog,’ Ye Jiu thought inwardly.
Fu Zhi turned her head away from Ye Jiu after she had finished speaking.
Ye Jiu grabbed Fu Zhi’s head and forced Fu Zhi to look at his eyes before saying in a serious voice, “Biu, biu, rebound, rebound!”
Fu Zhi was speechless.
“You’re so childish,” Fu Zhi commented as she pushed Ye Jiu’s hand away. “Rebound invalid!”
It was Ye Jiu’s turn to be speechless.
‘Well, you’re just as childish as me!’
Not wanting to talk to Fu Zhi anymore, Ye Jiu turned around and played with his game. Fu Zhi then asked Ye San, “I’ve asked Ye Jiu to send the script to you through WeChat. Have you read it?”
“The cover is ugly, and the file format is too ugly to read,” Ye San replied honestly.
“Alright,” FuZhi said, “I will change the format and send it to you again. You can take your time to read it.”
“Okay,” Ye San nodded. “So, are you seeing someone?”
Fu Zhi was speechless once again.
‘Great. He finally remembered what he came for.’
Well, honestly, she indeed was seeing someone, but she would not say that they were in a relationship right now. Just like how an intern was fundamentally different from an employee who was officially hired, he was not officially her boyfriend yet.
As such, Fu Zhi shook her head slowly.
Ye San took a look at his watch and rose to his feet. “Do you need me to give you a few million as your pocket money?”
“It’s okay. I’m fine for now.”
“... Alright, then.”
Fu Zhi seemingly could detect a hint of disappointment in Ye San’s voice.
“I will compile every detail for you and ask Ye Jiu to send it to you through WeChat so that you can start to arrange your schedule now,” Fu Zhi said, “If you still need anything, just let Ye Jiu know and he will tell me.”
Ye Shiyun wanted to ask why couldn’t she add him on WeChat and communicate with him herself? Why must she let Le Jiu talk to him?
However, he did not ask the question in the end. Before he went down the stairs, he said, “You accidentally touched my right hand just now.”
“Huh?”
“So you have to touch my left hand now.”
Fu Zhi had lost count of how many times she was speechless ever since Ye San showed up here.
That said, she still obediently pulled Ye Shiyun’s left hand.
Ye Shiyun’s lip curled up into a content smile, and before he went into his car, he said, “I promise you I will memorize my lines well.”
Ever since Ye Shiyun became an actor, he had not run into any big issues or problems before. If he came across a particular script that he did not like, he would just chant “1, 2, 3” and he would leave the rest of the job to dubbers.
He did not need to work hard to be a successful actor, and everyone would be attracted to him due to his charisma even if he had bad acting skills.
He was one of the highest-paid actors in their country, and his salary was higher than most of the veteran actors. This was also the reason why so many people attacked him, as they all claimed that he was unworthy of his high pay.
However, Ye Shiyun did not care how the others thought about him at all. He only needed to take care of himself. The market would determine his value, and a good director or a good script would present themselves in front of him.
It was just that the person who came for him this time was Fu Zhi.
He did not want to disappoint her, so he decided to do his best this time.
——
The second batch of students came into the museum at around 9:00 am. Ye Jiu did not want to stay here anymore, and he wanted to go to the arcade to play claw crane machines.
However, Fu Zhi left her bag on the balcony on the 2nd floor.
Ye Jiu poked Fu Zhi’s head twice with his finger and said, “I will wait for you here, you hurry up and go take your bag. Or else, I’m going to give those dolls to other sisters!”
——
At the same time, Huo Ningxin had arrived at the museum. In order to make herself look friendlier, she changed into a normal and more casual attire.
When she got down from the Santana, the first thing she saw was Ye Jiu poking her future daughter-in-law’s head with his finger.
Her heart skipped a beat, and by the time she walked up to them, Fu Zhi had already gone back into the museum.
Ye Jiu turned around and looked at the woman in front of him. Huo Ningxin immediately told Ye Jiu her identity, and Ye Jiu raised his eyebrows in surprise. He seemed to know who Fu Zhi was seeing already.
He sent a message to Fu Zhi, [Well, well, well, Fu Zhi, the mother of the man you’re seeing is here. I’m sure she’s come to drive you away from her son with money! However, it’s fine if she insults me, but the Li Corporation is a listed company and that means they are filthy rich! I will help you to confront his mother now. When you’re here, you have to promise me that you won’t give in even if she offers you 2 million yuan to leave her son. Remember that!!]
After that, Ye Jiu shut his phone without waiting for a reply from Fu Zhi.
Huo Ningxin and Ye Jiu went into a coffee shop. She ordered 2 cups of cappuccinos and they sat opposite each other.
Ye Jiu did not say anything. He just clasped his hand together as he prepared to throw himself at Huo Ningxin should she say anything bad about his sister.
On the other hand, Huo Ningxin gracefully took a sip of coffee.
Since the first time she saw Ye Jiu, she understood why her future daughter-in-law would be bewitched by him.
The young man sitting in front of her indeed had the capability to capture a girl’s heart easily, and she had to admit that he was as good-looking as her son.
Girls nowadays liked boys with pretty faces, and for a girl like Fu Zhi who came from a wealthy family, it was not a problem at all for her to have one or two kept men.
‘Sigh, it seems like money may not be able to bewitch my daughter-in-law.’
Huo Ningxin was a little nervous. She turned to look at Ye Jiu again. If he was an ugly man, she would not even spare him a single glance, but...
Huo Ningxin had seen a lot of people, so she was certain that the young man sitting in front of her right now was not an easy opponent.
‘The best defense is offense, so I have to strike first!’ With that thought in mind, Huo Ningxin said, “Name your price.”
Ye Jiu leaned against the back of the chair and replied with a smile, “True love is priceless.”
Huo Ningxing frowned. “You’re still young, so maybe you feel that true love can’t be measured with money, but after you’ve grown up and stepped into society, and after you’ve seen experienced deceptions, you won’t feel how great the love between you and Fu Zhi is.”
‘Hold on a second! Fu Zhi and me? What the hell is she talking about? How can I marry my own sister?’
Ye Jiu was dumbfounded. Then, Huo Ningxin continued, “If you truly love her, then you should just quit this love triangle and let her live her best life instead of putting her in a conundrum, don’t you think?
Ye JIu did not know what to say.
Huo Ningxin handed a check to him. “Here is 2 million yuan. It should be enough for you to live a rich life and start over in a different city.”
Ye Jiu finally came around to his senses. He rubbed his face and lowered his head. After a while, he lifted his head and shouted, “But she’s the person I love the most in my life!”
Huo Ningxin knew it was cruel, but for the sake of her child’s happiness, she had to sacrifice him.
She pulled out a stack of checks and said, “I can increase my price!”
Ye Jiu then said, “No more bargaining, 80 million yuan!”
