After Xie Yao finished yelling, the entire living room fell silent.
Xie Yuanping closed his eyes, utterly despairing of his foolish son.
After taking a few deep breaths, Xie Yuanping's anger surged uncontrollably, and he sat down on the sofa, his vision blurring.
"Two hundred million, Xie Yao? What kind of movie needs an investment of two hundred million?"
Xie Yuanping himself had handled some entertainment industry projects and knew that a production of over 100 million yuan was already considered an S+ level project.
Only well-known directors would attract investors to take such a gamble and put money into their projects.
Xie Yuanping's eyes turned cold for a moment. He was helped to stand up again by Li Ling, his expression icy.
"Which movie did you invest in? Tell me, and I'll contact someone to get the money back."
Xie Yao felt insulted by these words.
"You still don't have confidence in me, you've always been like this since we were kids."
Xie Yao clenched his fists in resentment, frequently sneering.
"I'm going to show you this time! I, Xie Yao, will definitely become a famous director in the industry with this movie!"
After uttering those harsh words, Xie Yao slammed the door shut and left without looking back.
Xie Yuanping wanted to chase after him, but Xie Yao's anger made his heart clench with pain, and he sat down on the sofa, clutching his chest.
"This unfilial son, what a fine son you raised!"
Li Ling paused for a moment as she helped Xie Yuanping pat his back.

After Xie Yao left, he was full of resentment, and his tone was somewhat aggressive.
"Xiaoyou, where are you? I've given you the money. When will the movie be ready?"
Xiaoyou kept smiling as she counted the money she had received.
This Xie Yao is so stupid it's laughable.
"Don't worry, I've already contacted the team, they can come over tomorrow morning."
Xie Yao was relieved to hear this.
Tomorrow, once filming begins, everyone will know that Xie Yao is doing something truly important! Something big!
At that time, not to mention Xia Chen, even the most famous director Zhou will be trampled underfoot by Xie Yao!

This night was destined to be turbulent.
Xiao You secretly transferred all the money she had swindled abroad and prepared to board a plane to escape the country in the early morning.
But just a second before she was to board the plane, a group of police officers appeared at the airport and quickly arrested her and took her to the police station.
Xia Chuyue, who had done a good deed by reporting a fraudster, slept soundly all night.
The next morning, entertainment news quickly broke the story about Xiaoyou.
Almost everyone was incredulous that there could be such a daring fraudster in the entertainment industry!
They swindled nearly 500 million yuan with just an empty production crew!
The key question is, did some people actually fall for it?
This is absolutely outrageous!
[This woman's eloquence is incredible; I even saw a well-known investor in the industry on the list of victims!]
[My God, Xie Yao alone spent 200 million?]
[After the last revelation that Xie Yao relied on his father's connections, I now truly believe it. He's so stupid; he probably doesn't have any real ability himself.]
[This is hilarious! Other investors are at least a bit more cautious, putting in tens of millions to test the waters, so they won't lose everything if they do. But Xie Yao, he goes straight for hundreds of millions!]
[Don't you guys know about Xie Yao's past gossip? All his movies were bought out from other companies! He's actually a complete idiot!]
[He used to pretend to be a genius director, but his movies were so terrible, it's no wonder he was fooled!]
Xie Yao wasn't the only one who got scammed, but the fact that he invested so much money attracted most of the attention from netizens.
There are many stupid people, but netizens think only Xie Yao could be this stupid.
When Xie Yao woke up, he suddenly realized that the sky had changed.
Xiao You became a fraudster; the movie project she invested in was a scam from beginning to end.
Xie Yao collapsed onto the sofa, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.
Impossible! This is impossible!
This production was clearly a meticulously prepared work by Director Liu, how could it be fake?
Xie Yao was dizzy for a while, then received a call from Xie Yuanping.
"Did you see the trending topics? Being stupid is one thing, but letting the whole country know you're stupid is another!"
Xie Yao was thoroughly scolded by Xie Yuanping. He clutched his head and suddenly let out a cry.
"This can't be real! I invested so much money, how could it be fake?!"
Xie Yao hung up the phone and started frantically calling Xiao You.
No matter how many times he tried to call, the phone was always switched off.
Xie Yaocai finally realized he had been scammed when the police called him to come over.
Xie Yao stumbled and staggered to the police station, looking dejected and unsteady on his feet.
Upon seeing Xiao You, Xie Yao pounced on her, his eyes bloodshot as if he wanted to kill.
"You lied to me! How dare you lie to me?!"
Xiao You sat in the chair and snorted coldly.
"So what if I lied to you? You were the one trying to take shortcuts, otherwise would you have been fooled by me?"
Xie Yao was mocked, and the veins in his neck almost burst, bulging out from his neck.
"I'm asking you, where's my money? Where's all my money?!"
Xiao You chuckled nonchalantly.
"Money? Of course I spent it."
Xiaoyou acted too quickly; after her family got the money, they spent it all abroad.
Xie Yao was completely devastated when he heard her say that.
Even more distraught than him was Xie Yuanping, who rushed to the police station after seeing the trending topic.
When Xie Yuanping heard that the money was gone, he felt dizzy and slumped against the wall, his face blank.
That was his hard-earned wealth accumulated over so many years!
Now it’s all gone!
Nothing is left!
Xie Yuanping gritted his teeth in despair, and seeing Xie Yao crying his heart out, he felt it was an absolute eyesore.
Stepping forward, Xie Yuanping slapped Xie Yao across the face without hesitation.
Xie Yao was stunned by the slap and stared blankly at Xie Yuanping.
As if in disbelief, Xie Yao murmured:
"You hit me? You actually hit me?"
Then, as if he had gone mad, he suddenly roared.
"Why did you hit me?"
Xie Yuanping's expression was icy; he only regretted giving birth to this wretched child.
"You useless idiot who's good for nothing but causing trouble! Without you, I would have already taken over the Xia family by now!"
Tired of being dragged down, Xie Yuanping glared at Xie Yao as if the person opposite him was not his son, but some kind of enemy.
"Don't call me Dad anymore, I wouldn't dare acknowledge you as my son."
Xie Yuanping was truly exhausted.
He did his best to plan everything for Xie Yao, but what was the result?
What I got in return was Xie Yao's angry questioning and complaints, as well as the loss of 200 million yuan!
