Back to the banquet hall, the auction is already in the end, the clothes of the celebrities, do not know what just happened in the back garden, as Qiao Wen Chen Canaan, is not clear that this seat full of bright men and women, how many can not show the secret story.
This banquet, the two of them gained a lot, not only did they figure out the truth of Li Xing Chen's threat, but they also got a few sponsorships from broad wives, and the cost of the next few movies has basically been shaved off. This made them more confident in the matter of making movies.
Just back home, originally after learning English should sleep Chen Canaan, but suddenly sat cross-legged, rare to reveal a deep look, looking at Qiao Wen, good to open: "Xiao Qiao, money is really that important?"
Jovian froze and laughed, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Chen Canaan said, "Look, that Mrs. Guo is a small family, but graduated from a famous foreign university, but also good-looking, Nu hard days will also live well, and obviously love her former boyfriend, but ultimately chose to marry a sixty-year-old man. This shows how powerful the power of money is..."
Jovian said, "Everyone has everyone's choices, we're not her and don't really know what she's been through."
A Cambridge graduate in her prime, married to a 60-year-old man, it is indeed difficult to understand, of course, will be treated as a vanity girl, no one will care about her experience.
Qiao Wen reviewed her life, the small family can be admitted to Cambridge University, relying on talent and hard work, and study hard, is nothing more than want to rely on themselves to change their lives across the class. It's just that once a person leaves the ivory tower, grades and hard work become less important, working hard for a month and getting a paycheck may not be enough to buy a designer bag. Plus, girls like her are bound to encounter a variety of temptations, once or twice may still be able to maintain the high, but over time, will find that the high is not worth a, hard-working high school students, in front of the rich, but also had to lower their voices. Although Mr. Guo has grown up to be more than thirty years old, his status and position are there, enough to cross all the chasms.
He did not agree with Mrs. Guo's choice, but understandable. Because between love and money and status, no matter whether to choose the former or the latter, in fact, there is no difference between high and low, in the end, it is still like a person who drinks the water cold and warm know themselves.
However, Qiao Wen was actually quite relieved that Mrs. Guo could have the courage to do so, at least she was unlikely to be the kind of character that was passive enough to be rubbed and manipulated by others. If she had the ability to become Councilor Guo's official wife, she would definitely be able to deal with this matter quickly - after all, she was a graduate of the Cambridge Law School.
As for how to deal with it, that was something she and Councilor Kuo were going to do behind closed doors as an old married couple, and no one else needed to know.
After Chen Canaan lamented Mrs. Guo, he lamented Li Xing Chen, "And that cousin Chen, I don't know how much Teng Xing gave him, but he betrayed his cousin like this. Don't look at me bullying Howie every day, if outsiders dare to bully him, I'll be the first to say no."
Jovian laughed, "Know you're a good brother."
"Of course." Chen Canaan proudly lay down on the bed, quite a bit of pride, "Anyway, I think the money is enough on the line, if I sell my family and friends for money, I won't do it."
Jovian hooked the corners of his mouth and lay down next to him, looking at him with a sideways, smirking smile.
Because of his own arrival, the plot of the original world had long since changed, and he hadn't thought about the original Chen Canaan for a long time, and it was only at this moment when he heard him say this that he suddenly remembered that this guy had originally been a villain who had done all sorts of bad things for the sake of money.
And in this life, he had been so sprightly and happy because he hadn't had time to experience the pain caused by lack of money.
Just thinking about it made me happy for him.
Perceiving his gaze, Chen Canaan tilted his head to meet his dark eyes and asked strangely, "What are you looking at?"
Jovian reached over and turned off the lamp, teasing, "Seeing as you're handsome."
"That's for sure." Chen Canaan smiled joyfully in the darkness, "You don't turn off the lights ah, look at it for a while longer, no charge."
"Sleep!"
"Okay!"
Meanwhile, Li Xing Chen was sitting motionless on the sofa of his apartment, his handsome face, under the crystal lamp, as pale as paper.
After hanging up Mrs. Guo's phone, he sat like this until now, as if he had come to life, slowly lifting his eyelids and looking around the luxurious apartment, his mind drifting back to the tenement building where he had once lived.
A family of four crammed into a small room and ate a big meal of meat, it was like New Year's Eve. But at that time, the family loved each other, and the days were full of hope and expectation, so they didn't feel much hardship. Later, he joined the industry, earned some money, in the past few years is more popular in Hong Kong, the TV station's salary is not much, but the famous can receive business, in order to make money, he received everything - or rather, his cousin gave him everything to receive, the dinner party annual meeting to cut the ribbon.
The economy of Hong Kong City has been booming over the years, and rich people are emerging one after another. These stars are the tools used by the rich to show off their wealth. But it doesn't matter, at least they can make money, buy a house for their aunts and uncles, and live in this high-grade apartment themselves, so the family doesn't have to suffer any more. However, once mutually dependent cousin, but became more and more so that he did not recognize, dyed eating, drinking, whoring and gambling all kinds of vices not to mention, to their own pain is blind, and even arranged for him to participate in a variety of ill-intentioned meals, if not for fear of their own face, losing a money-making machine, I'm afraid that he had already sent him packaged on the bed of this broad that rich people.
What he originally thought was that this time, it would be the last time to help him. Think of it as using the next three years to repay your aunt and uncle for raising him. After three years, if he is still unchanging, then bridge to bridge, road to road.
He was soft-hearted enough to give Li Xinghai a chance, but he didn't realize that it was his own dear cousin who had teamed up with outsiders to push him to the brink of extinction.
He thought back to when he was a kid, when someone bullied him, his cousin would always rush forward. And the last time in the parking lot, Lu Han Dong made a move on him, but Li Xing Hai told him to apologize.
Wasn't there a trace of guilt and regret in him at that time?
He stared at the wall clock, it was already past twelve o'clock when the door finally rang with the sound of a key unlocking it. Li Xinghai drunkenly walked in, saw the person on the sofa, and said, "Chen, you're still up?"
Li Xingchen said, "I'm waiting for you."
Li Xinghai walked crookedly to his cousin and sat down next to him, spraying wine breath and smilingly said: "Waiting for me for what? You take a good rest these days, in a few days Teng Xing side give to come to the script, you have to prepare to start." Said, tilted his head to look at him, "Let brother look at your face is good or not?"
Li Xingchen said in a faint voice, "It's already done."
"That's good, but don't interfere with getting into the group to shoot." Saying that, he patted his shoulder, "Go to sleep."
"Brother, I just got a call from Mrs. Guo." Li Xing Chen looked at him and said coldly.
Probably because he had been drinking, Li Xinghai didn't respond immediately and casually asked, "Which Mrs. Guo?"
"It's Mrs. Congressman Kwok who cheated on you with you."
Li Xinghai was stunned, seemingly suddenly awakened, staring at him with wide eyes, incoherently said: ''What did she call to tell you? Are you crazy? Not afraid to let Councilor Guo know about my scandalous affair with her? Is she trying to get me killed?"
At a time like this, there were still lies being told. Li Xingchen laughed as if mocking himself.
"Brother, Mrs. Kwok has told me everything, and you don't have to be afraid that Councilor Kwok will send you to jail for adultery, after all, you don't have any relationship with his wife. You don't even have to threaten Mrs. Kwok, she has already confessed to Congressman Kwok about what she did."
Li Xinghai was stunned for a long time, understanding that things had been exposed, but quickly came back to his senses and did not panic too much, after all, the contract had already been signed, for what reason this contract was signed, in fact, now it is completely unimportant.
He changed into a pitiful face and grabbed Li Xing Chen's arm: "Chen, listen to me, when Teng Xing's people found me, they used mom and dad's lives as a threat. As you know, Lu Han Dong is from the triad society, what can't he do? I was worried about my mom and dad, so I had to cheat you with them, and my brother had no choice. Now that we've signed the contract, it's useless to say anything. Just three years, after three years, you can do whatever you want."
Li Xing Chen looked at this ugly man, how could he have believed their bullshit at that time, thinking that he was really having an affair with the councilor's wife?
Although he didn't know what that Mrs. Kwok looked like, he vaguely saw the newspaper write that she was a gorgeous, Cambridge-graduated senior, so how could she be cheating on him with such a man who had no redeeming qualities?
Unless the woman is blind.
The truth is, other people aren't blind, they're just stupid.
He shook his head expressionlessly and said word for word, "Do you think I will still believe you? I'm going to get a lawyer and terminate my contract with Teng Xing."
Li Xinghai leapt to his feet, "Terminate the contract? Do you know how much money you have to lose?"
"I was coerced, this contract should have been voided in the first place, just testify in court."
"Naive! You think you can beat Lu Han Dong? If you want to die, do it yourself, don't drag me along!"
Li Xing Chen looked up at this person closest to him, finally determining that the other person was no longer at all the loving cousin he once was.
He was silent for a moment and said in a faint voice, "Brother, if you stand on my side, I won't pursue you in this matter. But if you insist on being in cahoots with Lu Handong's group, then we will no longer have a relationship."
"Good good good!" Li Xinghai reached out and pointed at him, "Chen, if you have to go against Lu Handong, then don't blame me for being merciless, I won't die with you."
The last glimmer of hope was dashed, but Li Xing Chen was relieved as if he was relieved, nodded his head and said, "In that case, I have nothing to hesitate about. I will never compromise this time, tomorrow I'll go find a lawyer, even if I completely bury my future, I have to fight Lu Handong to the end."
Li Xinghai was so angry that he cursed, "You're really crazy!"
Li Xing Chen pointed towards the door, "Brother, this is the last time I call you this. This is my house, and I'm now asking you to get out of here, and from now on, we'll return from bridge to bridge."
Li Xinghai nodded: ''Good, you have to suffer before you realize how treacherous the world is and know who is doing this for you. When you regret it, come back to me. But I can't guarantee that I'll be able to make Lu Handong promise to let you go by then."
He has long felt that his cousin has not listened to himself too much, since the matter has been exposed, then let him eat his heart out, and when he regrets it, he is still not going to come to beg for himself. Li Xinghai playing this plan, whisking his sleeve away.
After sitting on the couch all night withered in his heart, Li Xing Chen finally felt himself slowly coming to life as the early morning sunrise shone in.
He called his lawyer first, then thought long and hard before dialing Jovan's number.
At this moment, Qiao Wen and Chen Canaan had just woken up not long ago, ate the breakfast made by Granny, and were turning on the TV to watch the morning news.
Although he had expected it, he didn't expect Li Xingchen's call to come so quickly.
Before Li Xing Chen in the treasure pearl station, staff are equipped by the TV station, business is Li Xing Hai is responsible for, all the resources are in the hands of his cousin. Now from the TV station out, there is only a life assistant, he is ready to open the press conference tonight, but found that he does not know anything, can only ask Qiao Wen for help, and Mrs. Guo gave him a phone call, but also said that it is the Ah Wen Ah Nan found her.
Although his relatives became strangers, fortunately his friends did not give up on him.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements for the press conference, so get ready at home and we'll pick you up then."
"Thank you Arwen."
Qiao Wen laughed, "There's no need to be polite between friends, I'm glad that you're determined to make a clean break with your cousin."
Li Xing Chen sighed despondently, "In the past, it was me who was too indecisive and in turn made myself unhappy."
Qiao Wen said, "You can't be blamed for this, he's the cousin you grew up with, it wouldn't be easy for anyone else to be ruthless. Let's put it this way, if Nan had screwed me over, I wouldn't have done any better than you did."
When Chen Canaan, who was on the side, heard this, he immediately waved his hands in protest, "I'm not going to screw you over!"
The Li Xing Chen on the other end heard the voice coming from the phone and laughed lightly, "Yeah, Ah Nan wouldn't pit you against anyone." Another rare joke, "Mainly he doesn't have that ability, he moves his toes, I guess you know what he's thinking."
"That's true."
Chen Canaan was sticking to Qiao Wen's ear, listening to the phone with him, and when he heard this conversation between the two, he protested again, "Nonsense!"
Jovian hung up the phone and turned his head to him, only to see him raise an eyebrow and lift one foot, moving his big toe, "You know what I was thinking?"
The corner of Jovian's mouth twitched breathlessly as he said, "Probably trying to use the restroom."
Chen Canaan froze, "It seems like it really is eh! You really do know me."
He got up and slipped on his slippers and ran to the bathroom to clatter and drain the water.
Jovian looked at his powerfully lean and long back and shook his head in amusement.
Not daring to delay, he hurriedly called Tang Xingwei and asked him to prepare the venue for the press conference, and after instructing him to do so, he took out a stack of business cards to notify the various media.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, temporary preparation is not so easy, before and after the busy, it is already in the afternoon, see the time is not early, thought about it, first called Li Xingchen, see how his side is ready.
Only when the phone was dialed, there was no answer, and when I called again a few minutes later, there was still no answer.
At a time like this, Li Xingchen shouldn't just go out.
Qiao Wen hung up the phone and frowned, saying to Chen Canaan, who was practicing, "Brother Nan, call up a few brothers, let's go to Chen's apartment right away, I suspect something has happened to him."
