"Li Xuan, I know you've put a lot into this movie, but this is all we can do now," Qiao Wanwan said helplessly.
"If you can say something like that, it means you don't understand." Wen Lixuan was a little unhappy. "Qiao Qiao, you know that period dramas don't have a big market in China. There are no period dramas in the top ten at the box office. This time, I'm not just making a movie, but also expressing my feelings. More importantly, I think Chinese films should be diverse. Sometimes, they shouldn't just be made to make money."
"Now that I know there's a risk the film will be leaked, you're telling me to do nothing and just wait around? How can I possibly do that!"
"Lixuan, I'm sorry, I was only focused on dealing with the situation and didn't consider your feelings about this movie."
Wen Lixuan closed his eyes briefly and said, "Qiao Qiao, I really can't do it..."
“I respect you. If you want to investigate and nip this matter in the bud, I have no objection.”
"But if we alert them or something else happens, we'll end up losing money."
“Money is a small matter,” Qiao Wanwan said calmly. “You are a very talented director and should not be bound by capital. Just make the films you want to make. Only by putting your heart into it can you present the best works to the audience.”
"Wanwan, thank you..."
“We’re friends, there’s no need to say these things.”
When Zhan Jingting came downstairs, Qiao Wanwan had just seen Wen Lixuan off.
Seeing that Qiao Wanwan looked a little dejected, he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you reach an agreement?"
"It's not that we failed to reach an agreement. I decided to respect Lixuan's idea. He's a good director and shouldn't be constrained. Besides, this whole thing is aimed at me. In the end, I'm the one who dragged him down."
"If it's difficult, I can step in."
Qiao Wanwan shook her head. "Zhan Xiuwen didn't even show up, but you did. That's giving him too much credit. I have my own arrangements. You don't need to worry about it."
"good."
Qiao Wanwan checked the time. "It's almost time for Eleven to get out of school. I'll go pick him up."
"I'll go with you."
"No need. You're just starting to feel better, so try to rest as much as possible. We'll be back soon."
"good."
The Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the kindergarten. Qiao Wanwan got out of the car and was about to go inside when a voice suddenly came from behind her, "Mrs. Zhan."
Qiao Wanwan stopped and turned around, seeing Meng Xinyi walking towards her in high heels.
How did you get here?
"Of course I've come to find you."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
"The parents who come here to pick up their children are all rich and powerful, and many of them look down on celebrities, so you don't need to cover yourself up so much."
Meng Xinyi: "..."
She removed her sunglasses and mask, and said with a forced smile, "Mrs. Zhan doesn't look too good. She must be worried about the movie she invested in, right?"
Qiao Wanwan smiled calmly, "Miss Meng is overthinking it. Money is nothing to Jing Ting. As his wife, let alone this little bit of money, even if I squandered all of his assets, he wouldn't say a word."
A flash of hatred crossed Meng Xinyi's eyes. "Qiao Wanwan, are you showing off to me?"
"You couldn't hold back so quickly?" Qiao Wanwan tilted her head. "I thought you'd at least have some patience and keep up the act with me a little longer before you couldn't keep up the act anymore."
"I have nothing to pretend about," Meng Xinyi said coldly. "Qiao Wanwan, I've come back to settle accounts with you. You harmed me and indirectly caused my grandfather's death. I will never let you get away with this!"
“Miss Meng’s hatred is a bit ridiculous,” Qiao Wanwan said with a smile. “But then again, you killed your own grandfather and can’t forgive yourself, so you want to shirk responsibility and transfer your hatred to the man you love but can’t have. That’s normal.”
Meng Xinyi: "..."
"Qiao Wanwan, do you think you're so smart? Do you think you know me so well?"
"I don't have time to understand you." Qiao Wanwan had no patience to continue talking to her. "Meng Xinyi, listen to me carefully. I will only say this once: whether it is your painful experience or your grandfather's death, it is the result of your own actions and has nothing to do with Jingting."
"You think that just because you've been associated with Zhan Xiuwen and put on a dark makeover, you can make a triumphant return like the female lead in a TV drama? That's utterly ridiculous."
"Jing Ting doesn't take Zhan Xiuwen seriously, so the powerful figure you've latched onto is useless. I don't take you seriously either, so you can act as you please. This is the first and last time I'll pay attention to you, so you'd better watch yourself."
After Qiao Wanwan finished speaking, she turned around and went straight into the school.
"Stop right there!"
Meng Xinyi was about to chase after him when she was stopped by the bodyguard. "Miss, please have some self-respect, or don't blame us for being impolite."
Meng Xinyi could only grit her teeth in silence, unable to chase after him any further.
She glared at Qiao Wanwan's retreating figure, then turned around, got into a sports car, and sped away.
......
Qiao Wanwan quickly picked up Shiyi, got him into the car, and gave him some water. "Did you have a good day, Shiyi?"
"I'm so happy!" Eleven happily shared the fun things that happened at school with her. "Mommy, this is the drawing I made today. I'm giving it to you."
Qiao Wanwan took it and saw that it was a family portrait. There were three adults in the picture, and it was not hard to recognize her, Zhan Jingting, and the Ghost Hand Doctor.
Two identical little boys were playing on the ground nearby.
Qiao Wanwan was taken aback, then quickly asked, "Who are these two...?"
"Mommy, this is me, and this is my little brother. Don't you recognize us because we look so alike?"
