"Just tell me what you have to say. Are you short on money lately? I know you owe some money on your house purchase. Last time I asked you to come and get it, but you refused. Come on, there's two million in this card. Use it to cover the cost first. If it's not enough, we can transfer it to you later. How much do you want? You tell me. We are sisters."

For the sake of her relationship with Tang Xiaobao and this cash cow, Sister Mei is really willing to give it up.

This made Qi Xiaoyu almost cry.

You said, I'm about to leave, can you please not be so nice to me.

It's just two million. If I take your money, I won't be able to leave in this life.

She quickly pushed the card back, not daring to hesitate any longer. She gritted her teeth and said directly, "Sister, I'm leaving. I'm sorry."

After saying that, she felt much more relaxed.

I've said it, so go ahead and scold me if you want.

She lowered her head, not daring to look Sister Mei in the eye.

Unexpectedly, Sister Mei seemed not to understand and said casually, "If you have something to do, go ahead. I'll have some tea. I have a friend coming over later."

puff!

Qi Xiaoyu was dumbfounded.

This, this, this...didn't I make it clear?

Okay, that's more direct.

She raised her head and said, "Sister Mei, what I mean is that I want to terminate the contract."

Sister Mei's expression changed immediately.

"What did you say? You want to terminate the contract?"

Qi Xiaoyu quickly said, "Yes, I know. I'm sorry, I'm ungrateful. Actually, I had already decided to leave before filming this drama, but I still wanted to do something for you. Now that the drama is finished, my contract is about to expire, and I don't have anything else to do for the time being. I'm telling you this: don't worry, you will always be my sister. In the future, if you need my help with anything, I will definitely not refuse."

"Haitian Entertainment?"

Sister Mei asked with a frown.

Qi Xiaoyu nodded, then quickly shook her head: "I'm just tired and want to rest for a while. I haven't decided where to go yet."

"Then come back after you've rested well. Your contract is still valid. When you want to work, just let me know. You can take a vacation as long as you want."

"No, no, no, I, I—"

"Xiao Yu, we have been friends for many years. I treat you as my own sister. I have never wronged you in these years, right? Why are you hiding something from me?" Sister Mei sighed somewhat unhappily.

Qi Xiaoyu felt guilty, but now that things had come to this, she couldn't regret it, so she could only harden her heart.

"Okay, I'll be honest. He was the one who asked me to come over. He said we could spend more time together."

Qi Xiaoyu said frankly.

Sister Mei's voice grew cold. "Does being on my side affect your relationship? I really regret introducing you to him now. I've lost both the wife and the army, right?"

"No, sis."

"Don't call me sister."

Sister Mei suddenly became very angry and said, "Have you forgotten how someone brought you to the bar back then? Who saved you? For so many years, I've never treated you unfairly. I've spent so much resources to support you, making you famous and profitable. Now you have both fame and fortune, and you're kicking me away. Don't you feel guilty? Have you ever been worthy of me?"

Qi Xiaoyu's face was full of shame, but he didn't say anything.

Sister Mei continued to nag, "Can you be more ambitious? Now that you have a man, you've forgotten me? What kind of magic potion did he pour on you? You just do whatever he says."

"He didn't give me any magic potion, but I love him very much. I can't live without him."

Qi Xiaoyu said in a low voice.

Sister Mei sneered, "No man in this world is a good thing! He's not a good thing either, otherwise, how could he have so many women? Let me tell you, you love him so much, does he know? Do you know how much he loves you? Maybe it won't be long before he gets tired of you. What will you do then? You're too hasty. You've only known each other for a short time. It's fine if you just sleep with him, but you're actually going to fight with me for him. You're really out of your league!"

Hey, the more assertive she was, the more comfortable Qi Xiaoyu felt, and she no longer felt so guilty. She said, "I only recognize one thing: I love him and I believe in him. Even if we don't have a future, I won't regret it. But if I lose him now, I will definitely regret it."

"It seems that you are determined. Nothing I say can keep you." Sister Mei sighed, suddenly took out two pieces of paper and began to wipe her tears.

"Hey, I've always treated you like my own sister. I thought anyone could betray me, but you wouldn't. What I said just now was all in anger. I can't bear to leave you, do you understand? Besides, the company can't do without you right now. How about signing for another two years? You can use this time to test him properly, and it won't affect you two. You can take a vacation anytime. You know, Sister Mei has never asked anything of you in this regard."

She started playing the emotional card.

But now that Qi Xiaoyu has taken this step, there is no possibility of turning back.

She knew very well that now that she had spoken today, the relationship between them would never be the same again.

If we don’t make it clear today and go back, it will be even harder to leave again in the future.

If Sister Mei can keep her now, there will definitely be a way to keep her in the future.

Even Sister Mei could prevent her from saying this again.

The same thing happened tonight. If Tang Xiaobao hadn't sent her a message, if Tang Xiaobao hadn't forced her, she might not have been able to take this step.

Once you take a step forward, there is no turning back.

Qi Xiaoyu remained silent.

And silence is also an attitude.

Next, Sister Mei said a lot of things and played the emotional card for several rounds.

Qi Xiaoyu remained silent.

Then she understood that Qi Xiaoyu was determined to leave and no one could stop her.

"Okay, I'll let you go."

Sister Mei sighed again: "Can you understand how I feel? To me, you are both a sister and a daughter. Girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up. Sooner or later, you will leave me. No matter how far you go, remember, I am still your family."

"Thank you, Sister Mei."

Qi Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

She has been under a lot of pressure recently.

Sister Mei continued, "If I remember correctly, your contract expires in a month, right?"

Qi Xiaoyu said, "Yes."

"Then when the contract expires, you can leave. I won't stop you."

“I, I—”

"What?" Sister Mei was a little unhappy: "You can't even wait for the last month?"

Qi Xiaoyu said subconsciously: "No."

"If you terminate the contract early, the legal department will ask you for liquidated damages, and I can't interfere too much. I understand you, but what will the people in the company think? Can I influence them? So, don't make it difficult for me. Besides, nothing will happen this month. You can rest first. When the time is up, won't you be free? Can't you help me for one last month?"
