Chapter 256 – After a year or two, who would even remember her? (2)

“Right, just take a good rest during this time. When a suitable resource is available, I’ll inform you as soon as possible. You have to use this time to recharge. Don’t be decadent.”

This deceitful old fox!

Ye Qing didn’t bother arguing with her agent. She had no hopes of Chaoxun Entertainment. Now that it was being acquired by Lu Corporation, she was even less likely to have any excessive expectations of it.

After leaving the office, Ye Qing decided to call Older Sister Li. Right after she turned on the phone, she received Mother Ye’s call.

(T/N: Older Sister Li appeared in chapter part 207. She’s secretly working for Shen Weiyin.)

“Qingqing, how could you hang up before Mom was done talking?”

Ye Qing suppressed her displeasure and hastily whispered, “Mom, I’m busy right now. I don’t have time to talk to you. I’ll come visit you when I have time.”

“Wait!” Mother Ye sighed. “Don’t hang up yet. Wait until Mom is done talking…”

Mother Ye told Ye Qing what happened with Mrs. Lu today. Ye Qing furrowed her brow and asked, “You’re saying that Mrs. Lu wants me to quit the entertainment industry?”

“Yes. Not only that, she told us to not bother Ye Zhen in the future and gave your dad 30 million yuan.” Mother Ye paused. “Qingqing, you have to come home as soon as you have time. That 30 million yuan can’t fall in your dad’s hands!”

Ye Qing was at a loss. “What?”

“You don’t know this, but after his company was acquired, he…” Mother Ye seemed embarrassed to say the next part. “He’s addicted to gambling!”

Since Ye Corporation had fallen into the hands of others, Ye Zhenting had been at home sighing all day. He was a person that loved to be in the limelight and cared a lot about how others viewed him. Now that he couldn’t keep his company, he was afraid of seeing old friends and becoming a laughingstock.

However, there was no secret that could be kept forever. One of his friends found out and sought him out to go drinking to alleviate his sorrows. After getting very drunk, he was pushed to a gambling table by that friend and won a lot of money.

Father Ye, who had lost everything in the business world, won a lot of money and was very high-spirited. Once he had gotten a taste of success and savored it, the situation got out of hand.

“What’s going on?!” Ye Qing was incredulous. She knew that her father wasn’t reliable, but no matter how unreliable he was, he never touched p*rn, gambling, or drugs.

“Why would I lie to you? Just recently, winning and losing in succession, he lost a few million yuan. That’s why I said that 30 million yuan definitely can’t fall into your father’s hands. That money will be gone forever once that happens!” Mother Ye sighed. “There’s nothing I can do about him. He won’t listen to me no matter how I persuade him.”

Mrs. Lu was right. 30 million yuan would be enough for the rest of their lives, but if Ye Zhenting took that money to gamble, that money would be lost.

After hearing this, Ye Qing was silent for a while. She felt a suffocating pressure as if a heap of things had fallen over on her. She was physically and mentally exhausted.

“Okay, I’ll come back tomorrow. Don’t worry.”

After hastily saying a few more words to comfort Mother Ye, Ye Qing ended the call. Father Ye’s issue wasn’t pressing yet. Her top priority was to resolve her plight. If she was really kept out of the public’s eye, then she won’t have a chance in the entertainment industry.

Ye Qing went to a lounge, locked the door, and called Older Sister Li.

“Older Sister Li, Chaoxun Entertainment is about to be acquired by Lu Corporation, and the company wants to keep me out of the public’s eye. I really can’t continue to stay here. Older Sister Li, you said you would find a way out for me.”

Older Sister Li methodically replied in a calm tone, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely handle this issue for you. Before Lu Corporation acquires Chaoxun Entertainment, I’ll at least negotiate the termination of your contract. We’ve known each other for so long. You should know about my reputation in the entertainment industry. I definitely won’t burn bridges after crossing it.”

Hearing Older Sister Li’s guarantee, Ye Qing was relieved.

Right after ending the call with Ye Qing, Older Sister Li called Shen Weiyin and informed her of Ye Qing’s situation.

Shen Weiyin indifferently said, “Older Sister Li, it’s not a trash dump over here. I won’t accept just anyone.”

Older Sister Li paused. She naturally understood the meaning of Shen Weiyin’s words. She smiled and said, “I understand.”
