Ji Lins tone carried a tinge of grievance. He seemed like he didnt know how to prove himself and could only repeatedly emphasize, “Jie, believe me. I would never do something like this. I also just learned about this matter. I have already questioned those people. Rest assured, Ill resolve this. I wont let you leave the crew”

Because he was too flustered, Ji Lin completely forgot to cover up and directly called Siyu jie-jie.

The more he spoke, the more worked up he became. On one side, he was racking his brain to appease Siyu; on the other side, he also felt aggrieved and was eager to prove his innocence. He was afraid that Siyu would have a misunderstanding about him due to this matter, thinking that he was the one who instigated the Ji familys people to withdraw the investment. As he thought of this, his forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

In the end, under Siyus gaze, Ji Lins speech finally slowed down. With a taut face, he forced out a sentence through gritted teeth, “Jie, please believe me. I wont let you leave.”

Siyu stared at him for a while. The lounge was very quiet for a moment. No one said a word and it felt like a conflict could break out at any moment. Quite a while later, Siyu suddenly laughed and said in a soft voice, “Since you had already called me jie, I am still able to believe in you.”

Ji Lin immediately brightened up. However, several seconds later, he abruptly realized something. Wait, that’s weird. This sentence from Siyu, why did it sound like theres still another meaning behind it? When Ji Lin called her jie before, it was just like a junior calling a senior. It didnt have any other meaning. However, when Siyu spoke like that, could it be. Ji Lins heartbeat quickened. A conjecture formed in his mind, but he didnt dare to believe it.

Could it be, it wasnt just his wishful thinking to acknowledge this sister-brother blood relation? Siyu was actually also well aware of it?

However, Siyu didnt give him a chance to continue pondering over it. She carried on and said, “But this matter, you shouldnt meddle in it.”

Ji Lin anxiously said, “Jie, why”

“Because I can guess who did this.” Siyus expression was as calm as if she was just talking about a trivial matter. “Madam Ji had come to warn me before. She is your mother. You can’t brazenly go against her, can you? It isn’t worth it to do that for an outsider like me.”

Ji Lin was dumbfounded. His mother. Had gone out to look for Siyu before? Then why didnt she tell him? Since she had found her own biological daughter, why didnt she acknowledge her? Why did she try every possible means to drive Siyu away? ! [Riel: cuz shes a trash mother LOL | Daed: +1]

Ji Lin had always thought that the reason why Duan Rulan simply evaded Siyu was that she didnt want to cause trouble. He had thought that she was afraid that this daughter from her former husband would bring slanderous gossip to the Ji family. Therefore, he sensibly hid this truth from others and didnt dare to tell Siyu that they are actually siblings. Instead, he would secretly pay close attention to Siyu; even being able to occasionally interact with his sister for a while would make him happy for a long time. However, now it seemed that in fact, it wasnt like that?

Siyu once again looked at Director Liang and politely said, “Director Liang, I also dont wish to make things difficult for you. Since the other party clearly want me specifically to leave, then I won’t thicken my skin and stay. I wish you a smooth shooting. Ill let Chen Yue deal with the follow-up paperwork and affairs. Now, if you will excuse me.”

With that, Siyu got to her feet in her ill state, opened the door, and strode out. Ji Lin hastily followed her, calling her jie and wishing to stop her. However, just at this moment, his phone rang. It was someone from the Ji familys company. Ji Lin could only suppress the panic in his heart, clicked the call button, and directly interrogated the person, “Who allowed you guys to temporarily withdraw the investment? Immediately, quickly, renew the investment!”

“Young Master.” The person on the other end was respectful, but he seamlessly rebuffed Ji Lins demand. “This is the madam’s decision. CEO Ji had also given his consent. Actually, the conditions are not as harsh as they may seem. There are so many production crews out there, where couldnt that miss go?”

This meant that there was no room for negotiation.

Ji Lin was so angry that he huffed a derisive laugh. He forcefully hung up the call. With a heavy expression, he stood in the same place in a daze. While Director Liang–who was standing behind him–was deliberating whether to comfort him or not, Ji Lin suddenly raised his hand and punched the wall with his fist!

On the other side, Siyu directly pulled Chen Yue out. Seeing that her expression wasnt right, Chen Yue very carefully asked, “Siyu-jie, what did you discuss with Director Liang?”

“Nothing really. Lets go back to the hotel, pack up our belongings, and return to Jiang City this afternoon,” Siyu replied. She was also repressing her anger. Last time, when Duan Rulan colluded with that model company to force her out, she let it pass. Now, she (DR) actually used the withdrawal of investment to force the production team to replace her. It was simply too much!

Siyu knew that Ji Lin was kept in the dark. She was not blind to Ji Lins kindness towards her. That silly child truly regarded her as his older sister. However, it was exactly because she was well aware of this that Siyu felt that she was angry on behalf of Ji Lin.

How could such a good person have a selfish mother like Duan Rulan? But Siyu didnt know who to lash out at; fundamentally, they were all characters created under the nimble work of her pen So, the amount of dog blood she had spilled at that time was now all over her body.

“Leave by afternoon? But didn’t we just start shooting..” Chen Yue didnt understand how Siyu went in to talk for a few minutes and came out completely different afterward. She was about to ask again, but she saw Xu Qingwan coming over.

“Siyu, Ive heard of everything. Calm down first.” Xu Qingwan looked concerned, but her body just so happened to block Siyus way. She blocked her in the middle of the venue. Many people heard the commotion and were already sneaking peeks over.

Siyu, who was blocked head-on by Xu Qingwan and her assistant, slowly frowned. In the last scene, Xu Qingwans hostility had been revealed. Now she intentionally said these things. What was she trying to do?

Xu Qingwan tenderly advised, “The Ji Company is not the sole investor of the production team. Doing this sort of thing when the shooting has already begun, the Ji Company does not stand on the side with reason. You dont need to be in a hurry to leave. Ill help you ask the other sponsors. Who knows, there might be a chance to turn things around. After all, for the sake of shooting, you had soaked in the water for so long. If you were replaced, all the hardships will be in vain.”

Siyu restrained Chen Yue, who had an indignant expression and was about to retort, and smiled faintly, “It seems that Miss Xu has a good network with other sponsors.”

Xu Qingwan seemed to not hear the hidden meaning behind this sentence and innocently said, “I only accepted their advertising contract. It can’t be considered as any personal networking.”

“Since its like that, I wont trouble you. What if after Miss Xu spoke with them, other sponsors also start clamoring that they want to withdraw their investment?” Siyu actually didnt like to verbally fight with others. However, when she faced Xu Qingwan, it was like this hidden talent was activated. She looked at Xu Qingwans slightly ghastly expression and calmly said, “When that moment comes, it wont just be my problem. Itll most likely also implicate you and cause the shooting to fall through.”

Xu Qingwans smile became slightly stiff. She fiercely pinched the center of her palm. With a voice tinged with pain, she said, “I just want to help you.”

When she had hardly finished speaking, Xu Qingwan suddenly heard a commotion from the crowd behind her. Then, a voice was heard from a distance, “How come that once I came to visit, I heard such big news? Tell me, whos going to withdraw their investment?”

Siyu and Xu Qingwan looked towards the source of the voice at the same time. They saw a group of bodyguards who forced the crowd aside with experience. A young individual walked out of the center. Xu Qingwan saw that the production teams vice-director was currently bowing and nodding beside the young man.

“CEO Lu, why did you [formal] suddenly come here today? Come on, everyone goes back to your work, dont crowd over here!” The vice-director hastily welcomed this honorable great Buddha and wiped away the cold sweat in his heart: The chairman of Huanyi came personally, but they didnt get any notice in advance. Whats more, a major event of investment withdrawal just happened in their production team…

As soon as Xu Qingwan saw Lu Xingzhous face, her eyes suddenly lit up. Isnt this young man one of the people she ran into in the garden of Huanyi banquet? So he was actually the chairman of Huanyi!

Xu Qingwan immediately looked around, but she didnt find that outstanding elegant man in the Tang suit. She couldnt help but feel somewhat disappointed.

Lu Xingzhou lightly chuckled at the vice-director’s words, “I heard more than half of Qing Guos artists are under Huanyi. So I thought Id come over to convey my greetings and under request, see if our people have been bu-ll-ied.”

He especially emphasized the last word. His eyes seemed to be aimlessly wandering around, but when his gaze fell on Siyu, he seemed to smile at her.

Siyu: “…….” Another trouble again.

“Speak.” Lu Xingzhou laid his eyes back on the sweating vice-director at the side. The corner of his lips rose, but there was not even a tiny trace of mirth in his eyes, “Who is it who wants to withdraw their investment?”

Riel: Aiyooohhhh, why do Xu Qingwan like to instigate people so much? Couldnt she just live in peace?
