"I'm not!"
Di Ming hurried to explain, but now that things had come to this, it seemed that no one would believe him no matter what he said.
Helplessly looking at An Nuan in front of him, Di Ming made the most unwise decision of his life—he decided to run away.
With a swift motion, he vanished without a trace.
An Nuan stared in bewilderment at everything that had just happened, frozen in place.
Was today truly her day of bad luck?
"Damn it, he actually ran away! An Nuan, just wait! I will definitely track down this money-grubbing man!"
Shuo Shuo was fuming with rage.
An Nuan quickly grabbed Shuo Shuo's sleeve, "Forget it, it's just a penalty fee. As long as we can terminate the contract, I refuse to believe we can't turn things around!"
Pulling Lan Shuo Shuo along, she tossed aside the matters of the production team and boldly declared, "I'm done acting."
With that, she strode away with confidence.
What lay ahead could be compensation or news of her withdrawal from the project.
But after being in this industry for so long, this was the most satisfying moment she had ever experienced.
"An Nuan, are you really okay?"
In the café outside Ying Cheng, Shuo Shuo asked with concern.
An Nuan shook her head. "I'm more awake than ever."
"What about your mom..."
"She doesn't need me to worry about her."
Her mother would be fine; it was just that she didn't know if her good mother would give up gambling once the news of her breach of contract and the compensation required came out.
This was a high-stakes gamble, and the outcome was uncertain.
After chatting with Shuo Shuo for a while, An Nuan found another place to eat. At four in the afternoon, the phone rang.
"Lu An Nuan, the decision has come down from above: fifty million in compensation, to be paid within three days. If you can't pay it back, just wait to be taken to court!"
"Is there anything else?"
An Nuan remained unusually calm, a calmness that took away Ye Meiqi's pleasure in tormenting her.
"Anything else?" Believing that Lu An Nuan was merely putting on a brave face, Ye Meiqi laughed and said, "Of course there is! Since you want to know, I'll kindly tell you: if you can't pay the money back, the company won't terminate your contract. But if you can't pay it back, you'll just have to sit in jail!"
“Xiao Ruoyu is already yours. I can't remember any deep-seated hatred between us besides this.”
“I just can't stand your pretentiousness. I refuse to believe that you, in such a desperate situation, can still maintain this self-righteous purity!”
Ye Meiqi scoffed and decisively hung up the phone, leaving An Nuan to hear only the beeping sound on the line.
Pure?
Hasn’t she already sold herself?
“Shuo Shuo, do you think Ye Meiqi is crazy?”
After a long pause, An Nuan managed to say just that. Shuo Shuo looked at An Nuan in surprise and asked, “Is this what you wanted to tell me?”
“Uh... I guess so…”
She had actually wanted to say that she got married, but she didn’t know how to bring it up. Once Shuo Shuo found out, she would probably scold her for getting married so quickly. In fact, apart from knowing that the man’s name was Ye Yunfeng, she knew nothing about him.
Thinking back on it now, even she found it absurd!
“Sigh~ Nuan Nuan, I know you're feeling down, but don’t overthink it. Just forget about a scumbag like Xiao Ruoyu; we can find someone better. Let that kind of pretty boy be taken care of by someone like Ye Meiqi; we can’t afford to support him.”
