Chapter 420 Han Mingyu's Self-Destruction
"I know you treat Wen Jingxi like a younger brother, but isn't it a bit too formal to eat with your brother-in-law without me, your brother-in-law?"
Fu Siyan sighed softly. His voice, which was usually deep and magnetic, now had a hint of tea flavor.
Shen Qingshu glanced at him helplessly, "I have something important to discuss with Xiao Wen."
"What important business can't you take me with you?"
“You know Song Lanyin and you have a pretty good relationship. If I bring you along, Wen Jingxi would never tell me the truth.”
Fu Siyan raised an eyebrow. "So you went to play matchmaker at noon?"
"I suppose so," Shen Qingshu sighed. "But the result isn't good; Miss Song may be heartbroken."
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan turned to the side and lay down, supporting his head with one hand and pinching Shen Qingshu's soft earlobe with the other.
He's been playing with her earlobes a lot lately, especially during his lunch break.
Shen Qingshu felt like her earlobes were about to turn into this man's 'Ah Beibei'.
Fu Siyan said, "But from a man's perspective, I feel that Wen Jingxi has feelings for Ayin?"
“I think so too, which is why I wanted to create more opportunities for them. But after talking with Xiao Wen today, I feel that the two of them…” Shen Qingshu sighed, “Song Lanyin’s background is quite complicated… The Wen family only has one child in this generation, Wen Jingxi, which is probably…”
“I understand what you mean,” Fu Siyan said. “From a broader perspective, they are indeed not suitable.”
"So Xiao Wen felt that since there was no possibility for them, they should simply not be together."
“That makes sense.” Fu Siyan lowered his head and kissed Shen Qingshu’s lips, his voice a few decibels lower. “Since there’s no future, then we shouldn’t start in the first place. Otherwise, as time goes by, feelings will grow stronger and it will be harder to separate, which is not good for either of us.”
Shen Qingshu frowned and pressed down on his restless hand. "I need to rest!"
"Okay, rest." Fu Siyan kissed the corner of her mouth. "Shall I lull you to sleep?"
Shen Qingshu's eyelids twitched; she almost instantly understood what this "coaxing" meant.
"No need, I'll just take a nap. We're going to the countryside tomorrow, and I have a meeting this afternoon..."
"I won't touch you, I just want you to relax and fall asleep more easily."
“No need…” Shen Qingshu wanted to refuse, but soon she could only bite her lip and couldn’t say anything.
Fu Siyan didn't really get serious, but Shen Qingshu still broke out in a light sweat.
"Shall I take you to take a shower?"
Shen Qingshu's eyelids drooped. "Never mind, I'll talk about it after I wake up."
Fu Siyan smiled and kissed her cheek. "Go to sleep."
...
When Shen Qingshu woke up, Fu Siyan was still beside her, his eyes closed and his breathing even.
She stared at his sleeping face for a while before picking up her phone and unlocking the screen.
It's 2 o'clock.
She has a meeting at 2:30.
Shen Qingshu sat up and looked down at her body.
I sweated a little before bed and felt uneasy, so I got out of bed, took some new clothes from the closet, and went into the bathroom.
The bathroom door closed, and a moment later, the sound of water spraying could be heard.
Fu Siyan slowly opened his eyes, his thin lips curving slightly.
Shen Qingshu took a quick shower, changed her clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.
There was no one left in the big bed.
At that moment, the door to the lounge opened, and Fu Siyan walked in.
He held up a glass of warm water. "Have some water."
Shen Qingshu took the warm water. "I thought you had left."
"I need to go back to the company now. I'll pick you up this afternoon so we can go home together."
Shen Qingshu nodded, "Okay."
After Fu Siyan left, Shen Qingshu tidied up and went to a meeting.
The meeting ended after 3 a.m.
Shen Qingshu came out of the conference room, and Yang Heng called her from behind.
"President Shen."
He took a light step and turned around.
Yang Heng walked over and said, "I have something to report to you about Lin Xiaoyue."
Shen Qingshu said, "Come to my office."
...
In the office, Yang Heng closed the door and turned to walk inside.
"Please sit down." Shen Qingshu sat down on the sofa and invited Yang Heng to sit down as well.
Yang Heng nodded and sat down in the seat opposite her.
What happened to Lin Xiaoyue?
Yang Heng coughed lightly, "She told me last time that she wanted to terminate the contract."
"Terminate the contract?" Shen Qingshu frowned. "Did she say why?"
“She said she wanted to go solo,” Yang Heng sighed. “I think she must have found a backer. She said she was willing to pay the penalty for breach of contract and that if Huanxing wanted to raise the stakes, she would agree. She just hopes this matter can be resolved peacefully.”
Lin Xiaoyue is not from this city; she comes from an ordinary family in a small town in the south, and she has a younger brother.
In places like the South, there is a strong preference for sons over daughters.
If it weren't for Huanxing, she wouldn't have reached her current position in such a short time.
The only possible explanation for her sudden request to terminate the contract is that she has found a sugar daddy.
But what kind of big spender would be so generous?
Lin Xiaoyue signed an A-level contract, second only to Best Actress and Best Actor, so the penalty for breach of contract would be astronomical for her.
Shen Qingshu asked, "How has she been doing on set lately?"
"She performed quite well, but her role as the second female lead didn't have many scenes to begin with. She left the crew last week, and we can finish the remaining scenes when it snows."
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and thought for a moment before saying, "Tell her that if she wants to terminate the contract, she should come and talk to me herself."
Yang Heng nodded, "Okay, I'll contact her and tell you the specific time later."
"Um."
After leaving the office, Yang Heng immediately called Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue answered the call quickly.
Yang Heng: "I've already told President Shen about your contract termination. President Shen said you should come and talk to her in person."
"I understand," Lin Xiaoyue said. "I'm free right now. If it's convenient for President Shen, I can come over now."
Seeing how anxious she was, Yang Heng, as her agent, was actually annoyed, but Lin Xiaoyue had already found a backer, so there was no use in being angry.
"Come here now, Mr. Shen is still here."
"OK."
...
Lin Xiaoyue hung up the phone, feeling extremely excited.
She looked at her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed the number that had become so familiar in an instant.
The call went through.
Lin Xiaoyue breathed softly, her voice gentle and cautious: "President Han, do you still stand by the three conditions you promised me last time?"
…
Shen Qingshu never expected that instead of waiting for Lin Xiaoyue, she would be greeted by Han Mingyu.
Lin Xiaoyue's sugar daddy is actually Han Mingyu!
Han Mingyu just pays hundreds of millions in breach of contract fees like that?
Isn't this obviously the behavior of a sugar daddy spending lavishly on his mistress?
Shen Qingshu's face immediately turned cold: "Han Mingyu, do you know what you're doing?"
