Chapter 159 Since the money problem can't be solved right now, let's address the root caus
Jiaqi took a step back in disbelief: "How could this be?! Don't you love me?"
If he didn't love her, why wouldn't he have called the police or made a fuss after such a thing happened?
It's important to understand that while the Wen family's power isn't top-tier, finding someone like her who has no parents isn't difficult.
But Wen Lang did not. Whether it was when she imprisoned her back then or when she secretly sent the child to the Wen family's gate later, Wen Lang never made a move to find her, nor did he reveal the slightest thought of wanting to take revenge on her.
And Wen Lang raised their children very well.
It was precisely because of this that she dared to approach Wen Lang and reveal her identity after missing her son.
A child's mother—what an endearing role.
Jiaqi had anticipated from the beginning that Wen Lang would not kill her; her son was her shield.
Therefore, she readily accepted Wen Lang's revenge during this period, believing that once Wen Lang had taken his revenge enough, he would be with her and they would live happily ever after.
But now things seem to be out of her control.
What happened to the love we were promised?
How did it turn into real revenge?
Seeing her like this, Wen Lang knew what she had thought of and couldn't help but chuckle.
He walked up to Jiaqi, grabbed her chin, and said coldly, "You don't actually think I love you, do you?"
"Someone like you???"
Wen Lang released the other person's chin and wiped his fingers with a tissue: "They're pretty dirty."
Jiaqi's face flushed red and then pale; she was furious, yet she still wanted to struggle a little more: "If you don't love me, why are you protecting my career?"
The entertainment industry is far from clean. If it weren't for Wen Lang's protection, Jiaqi, who had no backing, would have been sent to someone else's bed long ago.
Wen Lang glanced at her indifferently: "You originally studied law, so you should know better than anyone how much of an impact it would have if a company had a law-breaking person."
Jiaqi suddenly burst into laughter, but then she started crying: "Interest, it was all just interest... I thought I saw through everything, but it turns out it was all an illusion. I was just a clown..."
"Don't talk nonsense." Wen Lang continued calmly, "Clowns are so likable, you're just annoying."
Jiaqi looked at Wen Lang sadly, but she truly loved him...
After Jiaqi left, looking distraught, Wen Lang called his assistant to his office.
What happened to Jiaqi today?
Assistant: "Miss Jiaqi raised her price and added scenes, which angered Liu Tao. Liu Tao wanted to replace the actress, so she went and made a scene."
After reading the document in his hand and signing it, Wen Lang asked, "Who's been replaced?"
The assistant glanced at the documents in his hand: "Liu Tianqing."
Wen Lang paused, his brows furrowing slightly: "That charlatan who's been all the rage lately?"
The assistant choked, inwardly screaming, "What charlatan? That's his awesome Sister Liu!! Believe it or not, she'll crush your crazy CEO!"
"She's not a charlatan; she just knows a bit more."
Wen Lang looked up and glanced at him indifferently: "I don't care if she's a charlatan or not. You tell Liu Tao that if he terminates the contract with Jiaqi, Wen's will withdraw its investment."
The assistant's pupils dilated in shock. Here it comes! The domineering CEO's love-driven drama with the director is about to unfold.
Seeing the other person's blank expression, Wen Lang became slightly impatient: "Did you hear me?"
The assistant snapped out of his daze and replied expressionlessly, "Yes."
In her heart, she cursed, "You evil capitalists, just wait until Sister Liu digs up your ancestral graves!"
Liu Tao, who was about to go out to eat with Liu Tianqing, received a call from Wen Lang's assistant. After hearing what the assistant said, he instantly flew into a rage:
"Fine, let's withdraw! Take it or leave it. I, Liu Tao, am not indispensable to you. You'll never let me use Jiaqi in my lifetime!"
He hung up the phone immediately after saying that, it was infuriating!
Although it's unclear why the Wen family would help a celebrity, it's absolutely impossible for them to use legal means against him.
Liu Tianqing asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Liu Tao relayed the message from Wen Lang's assistant to everyone present in a very straightforward manner.
Zhang Hong: "Is the Wen family crazy? They'd throw away their reputation for a celebrity?"
Jia Youwei pondered, "Strange, how did Jiaqi get involved with the Wen family?"
Liu Tianqing was also a little curious and asked the system, Abai, "What's going on?"
System Abai: "The protagonist is not present, so narration is not possible..."
Liu Tianqing remained silent...
Randomly gritting his teeth, he said, "Speak properly!!!"
System Abai: "It means I can't leak this. If I do, I'll be punished. I'm not going to court death."
Upon hearing his assistant's reply, Wen Lang's face immediately darkened: "He really said that?"
"Yes." The assistant trembled; the air conditioning in the president's office was indeed set rather low today.
Wen Lang laughed in anger: "Fine! What a Liu Tao! Spreading the word that the Wen family and he are at odds, I'd like to see who dares to take on this mess."
Three days later, Liu Tao called Liu Tianqing with a worried look on his face: "Tianqing, I'm so sorry, this drama might be canceled..."
Liu Tianqing raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
Liu Tao: "The Wen family has declared that no one dares to take on this responsibility."
Remembering the Wen family's announcement about withdrawing their investment, Liu Tianqing suddenly realized: "They're short of money?"
Liu Tao sighed: "The Wen family invested 100 million yuan before, but now they've withdrawn their investment and even said they don't get along with me, so no one dares to invest."
Liu Tianqing stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then slowly replied, "This is easy to handle..."
After careful calculation, she realized that handling this matter wasn't actually that difficult...
Liu Tao, who was pouring himself a drink, heard this and his eyes lit up: "Do you have money to invest?"
Liu Tianqing subconsciously touched the bag at his waist and said irritably, "What are you thinking! My wallet can only go in; if you want to get it out, it has to go through a lot of scrutiny and be one in a million."
"No money..." Liu Tao was disappointed; without money, the production crew couldn't be saved.
Liu Tianqing: "Since we can't solve the money problem right now, let's solve the root cause first."
"You want to kill Jiaqi?" Liu Tao was shocked. Was it really that violent?
Jia Youwei, who was drinking with him, immediately felt a chill run down his spine and called out to Liu Tianqing over the phone:
"No way! No way!! Tianqing! It's just a TV series. We are all law-abiding citizens and we don't do anything illegal or disorderly."
Liu Tianqing rolled her eyes in annoyance:
"What are you all imagining! What I mean is to deal with the Wen family. If the Wen family loses its power, who will pay attention to what they say? When you have time, take me to the Wen family. I don't believe that someone who is so supportive of Jiaqi, a law-breaking person, is really clean."
You have to understand that Jiaqi and her crazy couple drove more than one person to jump into the sea. Without some power, it would be impossible to cover things up to the point that no one would suspect anything.
Upon hearing Liu Tianqing's words, Liu Tao and Jia Youwei, who had been on the verge of suicide, immediately perked up and shouted, "Go now! We're coming to pick you up right now!"
With tears in his eyes, Jia Youwei excitedly shook hands with Liu Tao: "There's hope! There's hope! All the savings we've invested are saved!"
Liu Tao: "But that's the Wen family. Are you sure the three of us can handle them?"
Jia Youwei choked, gritted his teeth, and said, "If we don't go, we'll go bankrupt. If we go, there's still a glimmer of hope. Whether we can make it or not, we'll just go for it. What's there to be afraid of? Is it more terrifying than bankruptcy?"
The thought of losing money if the show couldn't be filmed made Liu Tao shuddered: "Let's take a gamble! Let's do it!"
