After Breaking Up, I Married the Dying Tycoon in a Flash
Chapter 127: A Front

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: A Front

He couldn’t restrain himself in that fleeting moment and glanced at the person outside the car.

As for Bian Yue, she was carrying a heavy bag and walked with concentration. She was truly grateful for the considerate car owner beside her who drove slowly, showing empathy for the pedestrians.

It was only when the familiar license plate numbers flashed before her eyes that Bian Yue realized the person inside the car was Li Sihe.

Bian Yue was not particularly disturbed; she thought Li Sihe was probably here to find Wang Dan’an.

This project had been ambiguously terminated, Su Youxue must have had many grievances to share, and Li Sihe, being very committed to his work and now with his new love, should logically come to check things out.

But she didn’t know how Wang Dan’an would talk to Li Sihe.

The ground was covered with muddy puddles, and the rain pattered incessantly on the umbrella, producing a dull and short sound.

Bian Yue figured she should bring an umbrella next time; it was strenuous to carry everything alone.

Li Sihe’s car stopped in front of the ’Palace Wall Snow’ drama crew entrance. The opening ceremony banner was still not taken down, soaked in rain and drooping down, mismatched in its green and yellow hues.

The drama crew had already been dismissed by Wang Dan’an, leaving the place desolate.

Yet, Li Sihe suddenly smiled.

He was naturally gentle and graceful; his smile was even more amiable. The driver parked the car and walked over, curious, asked, "What are you smiling about, Mr. Li?"

Li Sihe said it was nothing.

He thought that Bian Yue was able to make Wang Dan’an make such a concession. It must have been a battle of wits and bravery.

The young girl who once quarreled loudly with him now knew how to be tactful and resilient without using force.

He quietly walked towards the inside.

Inside the resting room, only Wang Dan’an and Su Youxue were left.

Wang Dan’an was expecting Li Sihe, but didn’t expect him to arrive so quickly.

Recently, there had been major changes in the upper echelons of Feng Cheng, and Li Sihe had been meeting with political dignitaries and high-profile figures every day.

Rumors from the outside suggested that to schedule a meeting with him, one had to book at least half a month in advance.

Yet, in just one night, Li Sihe had really come.

It was unknown whether it was for his new lover, Su Youxue, or his old flame, Bian Yue.

Stunned for a moment, Wang Dan’an then stood up, smiling, "Mr. Li, how come you arrived so quickly? I was about to visit Feng Cheng and personally apologize to you!"

As for Su Youxue, the moment she saw Li Sihe, she clung to him with tears streaming down her face, crying and barely coherent, "Ah Hen... you finally came...."

"Alright, I’m already here, why are you still crying?" Li Sihe’s tone was mild and gentle, showing no particular emotion, "What exactly happened?"

Su Youxue was not a fool to falsely accuse Bian Yue without reason; she told almost everything truthfully, only omitting that she was the one who initiated it.

"I don’t know if Miss Bian did this intentionally to target me," Su Youxue bit her lip, looking distressed, "Shiheng, did Bian Yue do this on purpose? She can’t bear to see you being nice to me..."

Li Sihe looked faintly at Su Youxue, lifted his hand to touch her hair, but didn’t answer, and simply said, "Since this project has been suspended, let’s start a new one for you, how about something modern?"

Su Youxue’s expression showed reluctance. "Why does it have to be modern? I want to do a period drama."

She clutched Li Sihe’s arm, gently shaking it, her almond eyes brimming with tears, "I just love the script for ’Palace Wall Snow,’ I want to shoot a period drama too."

Li Sihe remained silent, his expression unchanged as he looked at Su Youxue.

Su Youxue was too young to realize that this look was already a warning, still pleading continuously.

"Ah Hen... I just want to shoot a period drama, since you are going to invest, why does it matter what you invest in?"

Wang Dan’an really didn’t want Su Youxue, this beautiful pawn, to collapse today. He coughed into his fist and said, "Youxue, actually period dramas test acting skills more, contemporary ones are easier for promoting newcomers. How would Mr. Li and I harm you? Listen to us, shoot a contemporary drama!"

"But...." Su Youxue’s eyes reddened, she said unwillingly, "Why can Bian Yue shoot a period drama, but I can’t? How can she be so domineering? The market is so big, does Honey want to monopolize it?"

Wang Dan’an wanted to say, if it weren’t for you insisting on stepping on Bian Yue’s toes, copying the script of ’Palace Wall Snow,’ why would Bian Yue care what you shoot.

But he and Su Youxue were on the same team, so he smiled and said, "How can you say such childish things? Miss Bian is kind-hearted and always fair in business. If you have a misunderstanding with her, just clear it up, why bother Mr. Li?"

Su Youxue was almost driven to tears by Wang Dan’an’s words.

Of course, she was not willing.

How could she be willing?

Everything Bian Yue always had, was what she couldn’t attain.

Now she just wanted a career start just like Bian Yue’s, was even this request overstepping?

The storm outside grew fiercer, with thunder rolling quietly across.

Li Sihe looked out of the window, unnoticeably brushing off Su Youxue’s hand.

His eyes and brows were indifferent, he made a decision, "Let’s end this matter here. Don’t you want to act? I’ll use the best team to shoot a contemporary drama for you, shoot it right here, and do it well."

Su Youxue’s heart skipped, her voice trembling, "Shoot here? Do it well? What do you mean?"

"I’ll have someone tailor a lead role script for you, ensuring you make a name in the entertainment industry." Li Sihe finally turned his gaze back to Su Youxue, yet still cold, "How does that sound?"

Su Youxue felt choked, she was visibly frantic, her voice unsteady, "Shiheng... I don’t want... I just want a guest role, your health isn’t good, you can’t be without someone to take care of you..."

"I’m not yet at the point where I need a woman to look after me." Li Sihe’s tone was gentle yet ruthless, his emotions unfazed by any shifts in Su Youxue’s, he calmly said, "You should pursue your career, I will support you."

Su Youxue stood frozen, looking at his indifferent posture, a desolate feeling rising in her heart.

She gritted her teeth, tears starting to fall before she even spoke.

Ignoring Wang Dan’an’s presence, Su Youxue, unable to restrain herself any longer, her voice trembled as she revealed the truth, "Li Sihe, do you really want me to pursue my career, or do you want to use me as a facade to come and see Bian Yue?"

Wang Dan’an looked at Su Youxue in shock, always feeling something was amiss with her favoritism. Hearing her say this, Wang Dan’an had his answer, it seems like these days, the so-called resource inclination was just material compensation?

Thankfully he hadn’t broken ties with Bian Yue, otherwise, things would have been truly problematic now.

Li Sihe’s expression was bland, faced with Su Youxue’s persistent look, he said, "What you should learn is how to seek benefits from me, not emotions, just focus on acting well, I will come to see you again."
