Sun Meifen beckoned her over to talk.

Fu Qingyan sat down in front of her, her voice as low as it could be.

"Qingyan, this child definitely cannot be born..."

"What?" Fu Qingyan was taken aback.

Ever since her mother became pregnant, she has always felt that the unborn child would steal away the little affection she already has, which makes her extremely unhappy.

But after hearing what Sun Meifen said, she began to waver.

After all, he was her own brother, born of the same mother. If it were really a boy, he might be useful to her in the future.

"Mom, why? Did the doctor say it couldn't be saved?"

“I know my own physical condition.” Sun Meifen looked at her. “At my age, the risks of childbirth are too great, and even if I did give birth, it might not be easy to raise him… Besides, he’s not that idiot’s child, so…”

"Mom, that idiot has no idea! He's been very happy these past few days, he'll always protect you!"

"That won't do either!" Sun Meifen's expression changed. "Fu Chengwei is an idiot, but Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can aren't!"

Fu Qingyan's eyes widened. "Did they find out?"

“They probably don’t have it now, but they’ll find out sooner or later.” Sun Meifen sighed softly, her eyes suddenly turning vicious. “So we need to make this child suffer in their hands before they find out! That way, Fu Chengwei will definitely cause a huge scene, and the old man and Fu Xiuyu won’t be able to do anything about him!”

Fu Qingyan understood. It turned out that her mother wanted to use this child, who might not be able to be born, to pave a way for her and herself in the Fu family.

Even if the old man dislikes the mother and daughter, he will be more tolerant of them for the sake of the child.

If this miscarriage is related to Jiang Can...

Fu Qingyan smiled and secretly admired the wisdom of experience.

"Mom, have you already figured out how to pin this on that little bitch Jiang Can?"

"Not yet," Sun Meifen scoffed. "But aren't these kinds of opportunities hard to find?"

Just as Fu Qingyan was about to say something, her phone rang.

Upon looking at the screen, I was surprised to see that it was Jiang Can calling!

She was taken aback and looked at Sun Meifen, who gestured for her to answer the call.

Jiang Can on the other end of the line kept it short, only saying that he wanted to meet her and sent her the meeting place: a dessert shop in the city center.

"Wow, the sun must be rising in the west!" Fu Qingyan hung up the phone and sneered. "I greet her every day and she never pays any attention to me, but today she actually took the initiative to call and ask me out?"

"Then hurry up and go!" Sun Meifen laughed smugly. "Be alert and see how she is. Heh, she was just saying she'd find an opportunity... Look, here it is!"

...

Fu Qingyan was fifteen minutes late for the agreed time.

Jiang Can was sitting by the window when she saw Fu Qingyan walking over in a short skirt, high heels, and large sunglasses.

As he walked to the store entrance, he pulled down his sunglasses to check if any reporters were following him.

It's a pity that there were paparazzi nearby, but they weren't taking pictures of her.

I heard that a French actress took photos in this area.

Jiang Can shook his head, both amused and exasperated by her foolish behavior.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry I'm late," Fu Qingyan said casually as soon as she entered the door.

"It's okay," Jiang Can said gently. "I've already ordered you a drink. You like blueberry cheese milk tea, right?"

“Heh, sister-in-law,” Fu Qingyan still refused to take off her sunglasses, “I used to like these things, but not anymore! I have to maintain my figure now, after all, I still have so many scenes to film... Besides, if someone photographs me drinking milk tea in a small shop like this, it would be too damaging to my image!”

"Oh..." Jiang Can nodded, trying her best to appear nonchalant.

"By the way, Qingyan, the reason I asked you out today was to talk to you about that movie."

"Everything went smoothly, sister-in-law, don't worry!" Fu Qingyan craned her neck. "Director Tang said I'm a naturally gifted actress, and this movie will definitely be my breakthrough role!"

“Really?” Jiang Can chuckled. “It’s great that you got her approval, but… the movie probably can’t continue.”

Fu Qingyan suddenly took off her sunglasses, her eyes wide open like saucers.

"What did you say?!"

"Cousin, don't get agitated," Jiang Can soothed gently. "It's like this, I've looked at Fu's accounts. The cash flow isn't much, and several investments haven't yielded returns yet. There's practically no money left in the books. This movie was originally invested in by Meiwei Entertainment, but now Meiwei has suddenly withdrawn its investment. This... this is really difficult to handle!"

Fu Qingyan's mind went blank for a moment, turning into a complete mess.

How could there be no money? How could there be a withdrawal of investment?

My mom said that she invested in this movie so that she could play the lead role and win awards, like Best Actress!

Is it all over now?

“Cousin Qingyan,” Jiang Can said earnestly, “Yilan showed me the sample photos you took, and they were really great! Especially your expressions, they were spot on.”

"Of course, Yilan also mentioned that you and Nie Xin had a bit of an unpleasant experience on set that day... I apologize for that. My cousin is a young man who has achieved success at a young age, so he's inevitably a bit arrogant. He offended you, and I'm really sorry."

"But you must believe me, cousin Qingyan, if this movie is made, you will definitely win an award."

Fu Qingyan was in a daze, partly because of Jiang Can's praise, and partly because the movie was short of money.

This was the first time Jiang Can had ever been so polite to her, even apologizing. What else could it be?

She and this movie are definitely of immense value!

This movie will be a great comeback for her, so she must continue making it, no matter the cost!

Fu Qingyan momentarily lost her judgment and grabbed Jiang Can, asking, "What will we do if we run out of money! Sister-in-law, I can't give up halfway!"

"Don't worry, don't worry," Jiang Can patted the back of her hand. "Isn't Meiwei Agency your aunt's company? Cousin, why don't you ask your aunt for help? Try to persuade her not to withdraw her investment?"

"this……"

Fu Qingyan was about to agree, but then stopped.

She remembered that the money from Meiwei Brokerage was laundered by Uncle Lü at her mother's request. So, the withdrawal of investment must have been Uncle Lü's idea as well; her mother couldn't make the decision herself.

The Fu family had no money in their accounts, and their only hope was Lü Maokun.

"Cousin Qingyan," Jiang Can continued to fan the flames, "as long as we can solve the current funding problem, I'm confident that through some insider maneuvering, we can definitely get this movie onto the awards stage!"

"real?"

Fu Qingyan looked up and met Jiang Can's meaningful gaze.

She gritted her teeth, suddenly stood up, and ran out of the dessert shop.

Finding my mother won't help, I can only go to Lü Maokun!

So she quickly hailed a car and headed to Lü Maokun's residence.

Jiang Can watched her get into the car, then took out her phone and called Huo Zhixing: "Honey, everything's taken care of here. How are your people being arranged?"
