Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Originally, I wanted to say "you", but it turned into "we" when it came to my lips.

Lu Yi looked at Xiu Qian, "Say it again."

Xiu Qian said nothing.

Lu Yi stood there, lit a cigarette, took a couple of violent puffs, and threw it on the ground, "Look at how she has treated me these past years?"

Xiu Qian said nothing, he felt it was not that bad.

Lu Yi sat there, looking out the window, "She has always treated me like a servant in the Zhao Family, right?"

Xiu Qian said nothing, though Yiran is somewhat strong-willed, she’s definitely not treating him like a servant.

Lu Yi, "Hmph, I’m even worse off than a dog she keeps."

Xiu Qian, "..."

Lu Yi thought back to one late night after filming, she was bathing the dog, he hadn’t eaten and mentioned it several times, and she just told him to call for takeout.

All these years, his stomach hasn’t been good, and she never cooked for him once, always making him eat takeout, so his stomach got worse and worse, knowing only to get him hospitalized.

Once, Xiaoxi would cook for him personally.

Back then they were poor, but coming back from work, there was always a hot meal.

They worked hard together, living through those impoverished days, now looking back, it’s surprisingly sweet.

She was also very hardworking, but her heart had him.

But later on——

He remembered once, when he saw her being bullied, he stepped in to fight, cracking the other’s head with a beer bottle.

However, he ended up more injured.

In the end, he and Xiaoxi spent many days in detention while the other party, with money and influence, walked away scot-free.

From that day on, he swore to make something of himself, to have money and power, and to trample that little bastard underfoot.

Later, he realized that alone, he couldn’t make it, not until he met Zhao Yiran. In a moment of impulse, he got together with Zhao Yiran.

All these years, he never forgot Xiaoxi.

Just when he thought he could finally break free from Zhao Yiran to give her a stable life and a stable home, ironically, his heart had someone else.

Xiu Qian glanced at him, anything he said would be redundant now. Lu Yi wasn’t listening, "What do we do in the future?"

Lu Yi looked at Xiu Qian, "With money, what can’t we do? Even if I retire, I can start my own studio and nurture talent."

Xiu Qian still worried.

Lu Yi, "At worst, we can produce our own films. Nowadays, even a small budget film can make money."

Xiu Qian looked at Lu Yi, "But the investment side..."

Lu Yi looked at Xiu Qian, "We poach talent, bring in experienced people."

Xiu Qian listened, "Alright."

Lu Yi, "Look at others, running studios with such flair. We must do this while I’m still in the spotlight."

Xiu Qian started making calls to find people.

Lu Yi sat there, finished his cigarette, then checked Jin Bo’s Weibo, staring at the man in the photo.

Is he the one trying to steal Xiaoxi?

Ha, with his bad heart, he better save it.

Fine, he’ll wait. There’s always a day to die, maybe it’s as soon as tomorrow.

————Yunqi Academy————

The next day, Shu Ran received a call from Wu Jie.

Wu Jie thought about the attitude from above, "I consulted with the company, twenty million, but it has to guarantee headlines on all the major boards. Would you like to come sign the contract or should we come to you?"

Shu Ran, "I’ll have my assistant come over and sign with you."

Wu Jie, "Alright."

Shu Ran smiled and asked, "Are there any requirements?"

Wu Jie talked about the relationships among Yan Xiaoxi, Lu Yi, and Zhao Yiran for a full half an hour, relaying what the higher-ups said, "That’s about it, we don’t have any requests, Senior Shu, please feel free to unleash your creativity."
