The suite is spacious and has everything you need.
"Eat first. The food in the restaurant is still hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
"No." Jiang Yufeng hugged him tightly, clinging to him like an octopus, almost holding him in his arms. "The days without seeing you feel like years."
"Why didn't I realize you were so corny before?" He said that, but he was in a good mood.
Xu Jing let him hold her for a while, then pulled out a chair to eat.
I've been through a lot these days and my appetite hasn't been good. But seeing Jiang Yufeng, my mood has improved a lot and my appetite has increased.
After eating, Xu Jing went to the bathroom to rinse his mouth. Looking back, he saw that he was browsing his phone. The headlines on his phone were all about the bad things between him and Qi Yaoxuan.
He clapped his hands on the table twice and said, "Go take a shower."
"I've washed it. Let me take a look." Jiang Yufeng said without even looking up: "You and that pretty boy have had quite a lot of trouble."
"That's right." Xu Jing pulled up a chair, leaned back, and closed his eyes. "He messed up my filming."
"Wanwan." Jiang Yufeng looked up at him with a gentle gaze. "Nothing happened between you and him, right?"
"What do you want to happen?" Xu Jing asked, "I want you to stop liking him?"
"That's not what I meant. I was referring to the scandal between you and him."
"That's not true." Xu Jing interrupted him and hooked his arm around his neck. "You have to believe me."
"Of course I believe that you look down on him, and I also understand that you were pushed out by them to take the blame. It's just..." Jiang Yufeng sighed heavily and hugged him back.
"You should let me know so I can help you."
This was what made Ji Wan uncomfortable.
Knowing that his own strength is not enough to compete with the towering tree, he still insisted on going all the way.
His hands covered his eyes. "It's been hard these days."
Obviously, he doesn't need to work so hard. He is his support and his help. Why not?
"It's okay." Xu Jing regained some clarity and said with a smile, "It's just a small storm, nothing serious."
"But I feel bad. What do you need me to do?"
"Don't do it, I can handle it."
Meeting his dissatisfied gaze, Xu Jing placed his hand in his palm and whispered softly, "Since I said I won't be a canary, I won't go back on my word. No matter how bad things get, I will persevere."
"But"
"No, but, when you took over your father's business, didn't you also rely on yourself to build it step by step? Was there anyone helping you back then?"
Ji Wan's words brought back the past that he didn't want to recall.
It's not like he got through it alone.
My father had subordinates to help him and people to keep him in check.
But these people took advantage of their age and seniority and refused to obey his orders.
Before he was fully grown, he remembered everything they had done. Only when he had the means and could resist did he eliminate the cancer one by one.
On the night Uncle Ling was executed, Jiang Yufeng clearly remembered how Uncle Ling spit on his face.
"The bones of a thief are like rotten seeds that can never be propped up against a wall."
His eyes were filled with hatred, and even though his body was covered in blood, he continued to curse.
"You son of a bitch is not worthy of being on the stage. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be where you are today? How come you've forgotten your roots now that you're so successful?"
His origins were already criticized. Although these people looked upon him with respect, they never took him seriously.
Even if he became the young master, he still couldn't change their views.
What did he do at that time?
He took the executor's gun and ended Uncle Ling's life with his own hands.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
A loser will only be able to gain a temporary advantage through his words. It would be a mistake to expect him to be soft-hearted. He will not be soft-hearted, and will only send him to the west.
Later, as his methods became more and more brutal, fewer and fewer people opposed him.
He climbed up by stepping on people's heads, abandoned kindness, and his mind became more and more mature.
Now it’s no big deal for him to see all those things in the past.
Ji Wan's experience was no different from his own. His was a lesson learned through blood, while Ji Wan's was just gossip.
Words can melt gold, and ashes can destroy bones. The influence of words is no less than that of real swords and guns.
He selfishly did not want Ji Wan to repeat the same old path he had gone through in the past, and did not want to see him, who was once so bright and sunny, fall into darkness and rot in the night.
"Wanwan." He kissed Ji Wan's eyes and whispered, "Leave it to me, I will handle it well."
"What about her?" Xu Jing said sarcastically. "I offended Shen Nian'an, can you get rid of her as well?"
"You're talking nonsense again. She's not as important as you." Jiang Yufeng symbolically bit his lips, the corners of his lips slightly raised. "Do you think I'll side with her?"
"Isn't it?" Xu Jing hooked his arm around his neck and looked at him seriously. "Are you here to lobby today?"
"It's a sleeper." Jiang Yufeng corrected him slightly, kissing his chin. "When have you ever let me succeed?"
"Stop messing around, let me talk to you about business."
"After she chose Qi Yaoxuan, I gave up on her. So Wanwan, you can't betray me."
If Ji Wan betrayed him one day, he couldn't imagine how crazy he would be.
It was heart-wrenching, and he didn't want to try it.
He just hoped that he and Ji Wan could remain the same. No changes would be the best way to get along.
"Then I really underestimated you."
"Hmm?" Jiang Yufeng hugged him and threw him onto the bed. "Why do you underestimate me?"
"Nothing much. I'm disappointed most of the time, but once in a while I get a surprise and feel like I've won the jackpot. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket."
"Tomorrow." He looked at him with a longing glint in his eyes. "It's not too late to finish what you haven't done yet."
"I'm not in the mood." Xu Jing turned his head and sulked.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yufeng hugged him and said, "If you have any dissatisfaction, tell me and I will help you vent your anger."
"After filming this drama, I will terminate my contract with Star Alliance."
Xu Jing had made up his mind that if he stayed in the Star Alliance, he would just be at the mercy of others.
Instead of waiting to be sold out again and again, it is better to completely break away from Star Alliance and make your own decisions.
Jiang Yufeng's expression changed, and he said, "Okay, I'll sign you, and I'll pay the penalty for you."
"No, I want to make my own way into the entertainment industry."
"Do you want to listen to what you are saying? How are you going to get through this alone?" Maybe it was possible before, but now he is the cash cow of Star Alliance. How could Star Alliance let Ji Wan go?
"I took the college entrance exam to get into the Film and Television Academy, then took the civil service exam and got in, and then I ditched Star Alliance."
It sounds fantastical. If I could have passed the exam, how could I have dropped out of high school?
Jiang Yufeng suppressed a smile and said, "Your face is a pass. It shouldn't be a problem for you to get into an art college. The problem is that you'll have to wait four years. By the time you graduate, the entertainment industry will have changed."
"It doesn't have to be that long, two years will be enough. And it won't affect filming."
"So, will you be filming this drama for two years?" He had heard correctly that Ji Wan wanted to terminate the contract as soon as filming was complete. Could Xinglian afford to wait?
Xu Jing smiled. "The hermit has a clever plan."
