Lawyer
“Hello, my name is Chen Shuo. I’m Xi Wan’s manager. She has unilaterally announced her withdrawal from the entertainment industry. Our company is going to file a lawsuit against her. She said that you are her lawyer. Is this true?”
“It’s true. I’ve always been her lawyer,” came the reply.
Chen Shuo was dumbfounded when he heard Fang Heng’s admission. He thought that Xi Wan was just bluffing, but she was speaking the truth!
The word ” always ” was of particular note here, because it meant that Xi Wan had been in contact with Fang Heng a long time ago.
It was only now that Chen Shuo realized that Xi Wan might not be as simple as he had thought.
The two of them communicated for 15 minutes, after which Fang Heng called Xi Wan.
She answered the call. “Hello, lawyer Fang. Did Chen Shuo contact you? ”
“Yes. According to his company’s regulations, we may be facing a penalty of five million yuan this time. I will try my best to gather evidence of the company’s exploiting you and try to reduce the penalty, but the probability of losing money is high.”
Xi Wan blinked. “Only five million? That’s not a lot. Why don’t I transfer it to him directly? It’ll save him a lot of trouble.”
Fang Heng choked. He was initially eager to help Miss Xi with the penalty so that he would be worthy of the monthly fees she paid him, but now she wanted to transfer the money directly to Chen Shuo?
“No, Miss Xi, I don’t recommend you do that. Your previous company has been using your scandals to promote the other artists in the company. This kind of unscrupulous company is not worthy of such high compensation. Instead of giving the money straight to them, it would be better to use the money for charity.”
Xi Wan didn’t care about the five million yuan, but what Fang Heng said was right, so she nodded. “Alright, do as you see fit. I’ll leave the rest to you.” She agreed to Fang Heng’s request with a smile.
Time passed quickly, and the audition ended that day. Xi Wan declined Song Kai’s request to send her home, instead deciding to drive her own car home. However, before she could reach the parking lot, she was stopped by a man who looked like a hunk in a typical school drama.
The boy had a warm smile on his face as he approached her.
Xi Wan blinked. Why did this man seem a little familiar?
The system reminded her, [this is the male lead of this book, Ling Feng! You should try to please him and change your fate!]
Xi Wan ignored the system’s suggestion and walked straight to Ling Feng. She asked calmly, “What are you doing here? ”
Ling Feng’s eyes immediately widened with worry. I saw news about you on the internet and thought that you must be feeling terrible right now, so I waited here for you. I checked in advance—there are no paparazzo around, so don’t worry.”
As he spoke, he looked at Xi Wan with a soft and dependent gaze, as if Xi Wan was a treasure in his hands.
Xi Wan didn’t speak to Ling Feng immediately. Instead, she communicated with the system. “Doesn’t he already know the entire script? He knows that I will stop him from falling in love with the female lead in the future and will do many wrong things. Could it be that he still chose to love me?”
The system immediately replied, [You’re overthinking this, host. It’s not that he still loves you deeply, but that his acting skills are superb!]
[He’s the Ling family’s illegitimate son. After his ex-wife died, his father brought him and his mother into the family. He also has a half-brother who’s always on guard against him. There’s a lot of fighting in the family. If he didn’t put on a front, he would have been destroyed by the other party.]
Hearing that, Xi Wan was immediately on guard. “Then he’s really cunning. I’ll have to stay away from him.”
Before the system could say anything, Xi Wan said, “You should already know that I’m married now, and you already have a new lover. Since there are better people around both of us, let’s not meet again.”
Ling Feng choked. Before he could even say the words of concern he had prepared, Xi Wan had already disrupted his rhythm. However, he had to recompose himself as soon as possible and put on a hurt expression. “Wanwan, we’re not in the kind of relationship you think we are. You’re the only person I really love!”
