“Why did you fight?” The little girl continued to probe.
“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you. It’s work-related. It’s very complicated.”
“Big Sister, if you don’t tell me, how will you know that I don’t understand?” Su Jiu propped up her chin. However, when the little girl saw An Yuan’s troubled expression as if she still did not want to say anything, she could only change the topic. Picking up the small spoon on the table, Su Jiu scooped a spoonful of chocolate mousse in front of her. Then, she happily closed her eyes. “It’s so delicious!”
Seeing that the little girl did not ask anymore, An Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, her phone rang again. She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Xue Zhen again.
An Yuan’s eyes darkened as she glanced at the little girl beside her. Su Jiu was eating her mousse with relish and wasn’t paying attention to An Yuan’s ringtone. However, when the phone rang several times, the little girl raised her head in surprise. “Big Sister, why aren’t you answering your phone? Is it that annoying auntie?”
“It’s her,” An Yuan said honestly.
“Do you want me to help you? Big Sister, I’ll help you scold her!”
The little girl’s fierce and cute appearance made An Yuan laugh. Before seeing her, An Yuan felt that she might not be able to laugh after encountering such a situation. But now, she had already laughed several times.
Her phone was still ringing. She hung up in annoyance and concentrated on enjoying the food with the little girl.
As she was halfway through her meal, her phone rang again. An Yuan frowned and stood up with her phone. She said to Su Jiu, “Little Jiu, I have to answer this call. You can eat first.”
“Okay!” Su Jiu nodded obediently.
She lowered her head and pretended to seriously eat the pasta on her plate. However, her attention was focused on An Yuan. She pricked up her ears to listen carefully to what An Yuan was saying.
The private room had a small balcony that provided a wide view of the sea. An Yuan looked at the sea in the distance and answered the call. “Didn’t I say that I’ll have to consider it? Are you that impatient?”
“Of course, I can’t wait. There’s a banquet tonight, and you have to attend it. A big boss there says he’s your fan and has been wanting to see you for a long time. You have to give him face. If the big boss is happy, you’ll be able to get a big production again. The remuneration will be at least ten million.”
An Yuan smirked.
“What if I don’t go?”
“It’s not up to you. Your weakness is in my hands now. You’d better not push me into a corner and do as I say. If you make more money, I’ll have more money too. It’s a win-win situation for both of us. You can’t turn this down.” Xue Zhen’s tone was firm.
An Yuan mocked her, “Are you sure you’re doing this to help me and not to sell me?”
“How am I selling you out? I’m trying to pull strings for you! If you were smarter, you would know to seize this rare opportunity. Do you know how many celebrities want to find a sugar daddy but can’t? So, you have to come. If you don’t come, you’ll have to bear the consequences!”
Xue Zhen hung up after telling her the time and place.
An Yuan took the phone from her ear and stared at the call recordings on the screen. Her expression gradually turned cold.
Xue Zhen was full of confidence in renewing her contract. It was as if she were certain that An Yuan would not dare to resist. But An Yuan had thought about it. Even if she could not become a celebrity, she would not become Xue Zhen’s slave and let people like her have an easy life.
At most, they would fight to the death. Who was more afraid of whom?
On the other side, Su Jiu silently remembered what he had just heard. The big beauty has to go somewhere, but she seems to be unwilling. So, there is a situation!
