Upon hearing this, Xie Yunzhou was taken aback for a moment, then said, "You want to take care of me?"
“I’m very good at making money!” Shi Xi counted on her fingers. “I have the allowance from my parents, the pay from acting and variety shows, and the dividends from Kuai Xue. It’s more than enough to support you.”
Xie Yunzhou pressed his hand against the girl's head and said, "Why don't you drop everything and I'll support you?"
Shi Xi: "No, I just took on a new script."
Xie Yunzhou responded, "When will filming begin? Where will it be filmed?"
As the lead actress, Shi Xi usually stays at a hotel near the film set after filming begins.
If it's far away, I might only come back once in a long while.
"It's not finalized yet, the other roles haven't been chosen." Shi Xi patted him reassuringly. "I'll try to come back and spend more time with you."
Xie Yunzhou lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
The doorbell rang, and Shi Xi got up. "I'll go see who it is."
"I'll go," Xie Yunzhou said, patting the girl's head. "You sit here."
Just then, Shi Xi received a call on her phone. Shi Xi nodded obediently, "Okay."
It was Zhu Lin calling.
Zhu Lin: "The cast and crew for 'The Princess' have been assembled. The director said that the actors' physical form is not good enough, so they will probably practice their physical form for two months first."
Shi Xi asked, "Are the actors willing?"
Nowadays, celebrities are often superficial, and few of them waste time practicing their physical fitness before filming.
Zhu Lin: "They are new actors recently signed by Kuai Xue, and they are not well-known."
That would explain it clearly.
"Where do you train?" Shi Xi asked.
"It is—"
Before Zhu Lin could finish speaking, Shi Xi heard a piercing, mournful cry:
"Please, please save Dong'er! He's my own son! I beg you! I'll kneel down and beg you, okay?"
The sound was so pitiful that Shi Xi couldn't continue the phone call.
"Send me the details on WeChat." Shi Xi hung up the phone and went out to see what was going on.
Why would she come to Xie Yunzhou to cry her heart out?
Shi Xi went outside and saw a well-maintained woman crying in front of Xie Yunzhou.
After listening for a while, Shi Xi roughly guessed her identity.
Xie Er's real name is Xie Dong, and this person should be Xie Er's biological mother.
Xie Yunzhou tried to explain, but the woman wouldn't listen. She even knelt down before him and tried to tear off his clothes.
"I told you, I can't do this." Xie Yunzhou dodged her hand, his eyes growing colder.
"Is it that you can't do it, or that you don't want to?!" the woman said bitterly. "Do you think that as long as Dong'er can't get out of there, the Xie family will all be yours?!"
Xie Yunzhou frowned in annoyance: "I never thought of it that way."
He can start from scratch; he has his own company and business, so there's no need for him to accept the Xie family's assets.
"That's exactly what you're thinking! You just want to take advantage of anyone!" The woman gritted her teeth, her face, which had been injected with hyaluronic acid, scrunched up. "You might have been the one who instigated Dong'er to speed! You're so young and already have such a scheming mind. No wonder your parents don't want you!"
Shi Xi didn't expect the situation to change so quickly.
The woman who had been pleading humbly just moments before suddenly launched into a fierce and aggressive tirade.
Moreover, there's a trend of them becoming more courageous the more they're criticized.
Xie Yunzhou kept his head down and didn't say a word. He didn't even dodge or fight back when the woman tried to hit him.
Shi Xi stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and said coldly, "I've already called security. Do you want to leave on your own, or do you want to be dragged out by security?"
"Who do you think you are? Trying to meddle in our family's business?!" The woman was arrogant, practically looking down her nose at everyone.
