406 It’s So Worth It
The only person who sang in the original plot was Fu Momo, a female celebrity. However, Fu Momo was around the same age as Song Yujin and Lu Suo. In other words, she had not grown up yet. Yang Haoran was also never mentioned as a character. Could Yin Jiuling be the same as him?
Song Ci decided to stop thinking about this and went to bed.
‘I hope her contract termination will go smoothly. Otherwise, I’ll need to help her.’
Meanwhile, Yin Jiuling was quarreling with Lin Cheng. To be more precise, it was a one-sided argument.
“What? You want to terminate your contract just because I’ve scolded you? Do you think you’re a diva? Fine, go ahead and pay the penalty fee!”
Yin Jiuling nodded.
“I will!”
Lin Cheng told her an amount and sneered, “Can you afford it? How are you going to compensate me?”
“I’ll work hard!”
Lin Cheng had never seen Yin Jiuling so adamant before and he knew her quite well.
‘She’s definitely hiding something. Her decision is too sudden.’
Lin Cheng asked in a skeptical manner, “Where were you earlier?”
Yin Jiuling answered honestly, “I went to practice for my next scene.”
“With who? Is it Song Ci?”
Yin Jiuling did not understand why Lin Cheng was asking such questions.
“So it was Song Ci who convinced you to terminate your contract?”
Lin Cheng’s expression changed.
“It was my own decision!”
Lin Cheng sneered, “Jiuling, do you have a brain? Both of you are actresses competing with each other! You’re not even familiar with Song Ci, yet, she’s willing to practice with you. Now she’s asking you to terminate your contract. Do you really think she’s trying to help you? Of course not! She’s trying to destroy you! If you terminate your contract, you’ll be in a huge debt and it’ll free up the market space. That’s all to it.”
Yin Jiuling was surprised. She looked at Lin Cheng and said, “Don’t say such things. Sister Song Ci is a good person.”
Lin Cheng mocked, “You’re still defending her? How silly.”
Yin Jiuling was used to Lin Cheng talking to her this way. However, she could not stand it when he ridiculed Song Ci. After all, Song Ci genuinely tried to help her.
“I’ll pay the penalty fee as soon as possible.”
“How dare you!”
Lin Cheng was enraged.
Yin Jiuling apologized out of habit.
“I’m sorry, Brother Lin. Unfortunately, I’m really not suitable for acting. It’ll only cause everyone trouble. Please let me go.”
“Nobody became good at acting without practice. Why can’t you do it?”
Yin Jiuling lowered her head.
“I’m sorry.”
It was rare for her to be so persistent.
Lin Cheng could not stand it anymore and chased Yin Jiuling out.
Yin Jiuling could not help but feel bad. Despite that, she still wanted to escape from being an actress. She returned to her room and began thinking.
‘The penalty fee is a large sum. Will Brother Yang’s company really cover it for me?’
When Yin Jiuling told Yang Haoran about the amount, he said, “That’s fine. I’m willing to pay.”
In his eyes, Yin Jiuling would earn it back in no time and contribute way more to Sunlight Media.
Yang Haoran even whispered to Song Ci, “That isn’t even a lot of money.”
“If you say so.”
Song Ci trusted Yang Haoran.
Anyway, Song Ci said to Yin Jiuling, “Brother Yang will type out your contract. Once you’ve signed it, the company will pay for your penalty fee.”
Yin Jiuling nodded. Just as she was about to speak, a knock on the door could be heard.
Song Ci’s assistant, Sun Qin, went to open it.
Lin Cheng was standing outside with a cold expression.
“I’m looking for Yin Jiuling.”
Sun Qin turned her head and looked at Yin Jiuling.
