In Zhou Qianyi's heart, Song Lan is intelligent and capable, and she is someone who never drags her feet in relationships. Once she breaks up with Zhu Junjie, she will not linger or maintain any ties.
Reality worries him. "He is hurt, trying to gain your sympathy. You might feel soft-hearted for a moment..."
"Brother, things are not as you think. Zhu Junjie has a fraternal twin brother who was switched at birth by the doctor during their mother's delivery and taken away from Hai City, ending up lost. He believes that the Zhu Family abandoned him and has plotted to replace Zhu Junjie, wanting to ruin his life and take his place to enjoy life. Am I being clear enough now?"
"Are you... are you sure you're not lying to me?"
"I'm not lying to you! The real Zhu Junjie is injured and currently receiving treatment in the hospital. The person replacing him is in the villa. If you don't believe me, you can check."
There was no hint of deception in Song Lan's words. Zhou Qianyi had just dealt a heavy blow to Gaoqing, and the excitement in his heart gradually subsided. A few seconds later, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. "In other words, I've been misled by someone else and ended up hurting myself?"
This kind of understanding makes Zhou Qianyi's heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys ache! Damn it, the investment in those two projects combined exceeds one billion, and after they are all produced and released, the lowest estimated box office is starting at 30 billion. Zhou Qianyi pinched his brow.
He suddenly felt so miserable, a man. Originally, he didn't care at all about protecting his younger sister. When he found out that the knife was actually in his own hands, it was so uncomfortable. "Brother, I'm sorry for causing you loss for my sake," Song Lan's tone was full of apology. "How about this, our studio recently produced a drama with a good crew and cast. You can invest and become a shareholder, and I'll make sure you get a big share."
As long as the studio can break even, it's fine. If this self-produced drama from the studio can open up the market and receive good word of mouth, the studio will have more investment projects in the future. By then, Zhou Qianyi will continue to participate in the investment, and she will definitely make sure to earn back the principal and interest! "You can keep your little investment for yourself. I have many investment projects, and I'm not short of money!"
Zhou Qianyi's heart ached, but in front of Song Lan, he resolutely did not let her see it. He confirmed the truth of the matter with Song Lan once again, and she repeatedly assured him that she was not lying, that Zhu Junjie had never betrayed her. Zhou Qianyi still felt uneasy; he sent someone to verify what Song Lan had said and headed to the hospital to see Zhu Junjie.
Song Lan did not allow Zhou Qianyi to enter the hospital room. "Why are you stopping me? Is there really something shady going on in there?"
"You two have never gotten along well. Now that he's injured like this, when he wakes up, you'll definitely laugh at him. He has never felt this humiliated in his life, and your behavior will only make him feel worse."
"Are you protecting him?"
Zhou Qianyi was shut out, and Song Lan's words pierced her heart. "I... I... I just wanted..." Zhu Junjie felt terrible this time; she just wanted him to wake up without feeling so miserable.
She... she didn't actually want to protect him. She promised herself that she would only speak the truth.
"I'm sorry, I take back what I said just now," Song Lan said to Zhou Qianyi, who looked hurt. She stepped aside and said, "Brother, you go in."
"I'm not going in."
Just now he wanted to enter, but Song Lan stopped him from entering. Now he is asked to enter, but he still won't go in!
Zhou Qianyi came to the wall in front of the ward door, leaning against the wall, and said, "Are you sure the person inside is the real Zhu Junjie."
"Sure!"
When she saw the person inside, her heart settled a lot, not as eerie and terrifying as when she saw Mong Si before, which sent chills from the bottom of her heart. Zhou Qianyi felt regret when he saw her like this. He should have listened to Song Lan before and not fought with Gaoqing, so they wouldn't have ended up both worse off. Now the Zhou and Gaoqing suffered heavy losses because of a fake, but thinking about it, it's also a good thing.
He is willing to compete with Gaoqing for Song Lan, which can have a deterrent effect. In the future, anyone who dares to bully her will have to consider their own weight. With this in mind, Zhou Qianyi's mood improved a lot. He secretly sighed, "Where is that impostor now?" He lost so much money, he needs to find someone to vent his anger.
"Brother, Manager Yan and Dr. Wei have already gone to handle his matter."
"This is your issue, and it should be handled by me. You contact them and tell them to leave this matter to me."
"I know you care about me and want to help me solve the trouble. However, Manager Yan and Dr. Wei understand that person's situation better, so it would be faster if we let them handle it."
Gaoqing was abandoned by Mong Si for a period of time, neglecting company matters, which led many companies to be unwilling to collaborate with Gaoqing. Gaoqing's artists also began to be rejected by other talent agencies, resulting in several projects being ruined and significant losses incurred, causing instability among the staff.
Given the current situation, it is essential to quickly regain control over Mong Si and have someone capable of managing the situation step forward to stabilize things.
"You look down on my abilities."
"Brother has managed to grow the Zhou to its current scale, and its strength should not be underestimated. I have high hopes for Brother's capabilities, but this matter was initially investigated by Manager Yan and Dr. Wei together. They are more familiar with the entire incident and will handle it more quickly. I have no intention of underestimating your abilities."
Zhou Qianyi genuinely cares for Song Lan. Ever since he learned about her identity, he has been completely open with her. She has also transitioned from initial resistance to treating him like an ordinary brother, feeling both concern and affection for him.
Song Lan was afraid that Zhou Qianyi would misunderstand her intentions and feel hurt, so she hurriedly explained. Song Lan was a person of few words, and the fact that she could explain for such a long time showed that she was sincere. He reluctantly accepted her explanation. Zhou Qianyi urged, "Next time, if you encounter something, make sure to inform me right away. I will handle it, and no one else is allowed to get ahead of me."
"Agreed!"
"No breaking your word!"
"Mm." Song Lan promised, wondering if he would have other matters to attend to.
After finishing his instructions to Song Lan, Zhou Qianyi prepared to leave. He had just lifted his foot when he glanced at the hospital room and asked, "Are you taking care of him personally?"
"There's also a nurse."
Zhu Junjie was covered in wounds, and the injuries needed to be dressed. The nurse would come into the ward shortly to check on Zhu Junjie's condition.
Song Lan simply stayed in the room, keeping Zhu Junjie company; there was nothing else for her to do.
"Is he really that lucky to have you taking care of him?"
He dotes on his little sister, holding her carefully in his hands and worrying she might fall, and keeping her in his mouth for fear she might melt. Yet he personally takes care of Zhu Junjie...
Zhou Qianyi is in a bad mood, "You're busy with work, I'll arrange for two people to come over for you. If you need anything, just let them know."
"No need, brother, I..."
"You can't refuse, or I'll go check on Zhu Junjie's twin brother."
"..." He was threatening her!
