Chapter 459: Scolded off

“Terminate the contractual relations.h.i.+p? Doesn’t that mean that you will be fired? How could this happen, how could this happen…?”

w.a.n.g Wanjing was terrified as she was well aware that Huangpu Entertainment Group was the key reason for Su Li’s successful career today. Without the company, Su Li would be as good as a phoenix with its wings clipped, and she would never be able to soar in the s...o...b..z world again.

“Sis Ying, can you please talk to the company one more time and get them to make an exception? My sister cannot afford to be fired, or I cannot live the carefree life that I am so accustomed to,” Su Canye said. He was worried, but for a very selfish and abhorrent reason.

Just like Shen Qinyan, Chai Zhiyang also looked down on Su Canye from the bottom of her heart. Needless to say, they both felt that he was nothing but a burden to Su Li. When she heard his words, it added fuel to her already smoldering temper, and she screamed, “Shut the h.e.l.l up, do you think I have time to deal with your bulls.h.i.+t?”

If not for Su Li, she would have treated Su Canye as a useless piece of sc.r.a.p.

Su Canye was intimidated, and he quickly realized that Chai Zhiyang was a fiery old hag, so he wisely distanced himself from her. However, he felt the need to do something for Su Li, so he logged into his Weibo account and did his part in dismissing the social media’s overwhelmingly negative and angry comments of Su Li.

Su Canye wasn’t alone, for there were many more who were vigorously defending Su Li. They were Su Li’s hardcore fans. There are two sides to a coin, and those who defended Su Li were as many as those attacking her. These two groups of people had started a nasty argument on the internet, and the public discussion spiraled toward a destructive direction and soon got out of hand.

Despite being the subject of the discussion, Su Li appeared to be very calm, as if nothing was happening. She still looked her usual cold and otherworldly self as she casually fed Su Xiaobei porridge.

The little girl still had no idea about what was happening, so she stared at Su Li with her puppy-doll eyes and asked, “Mommy, what happened? Why did aunt Zhiying scream at uncle?”

“It’s a small matter; you don’t have to know about it,” Su Li replied.

“Oh…”

Su Xiaobei pouted, then opened her mouth as Su Li moved the spoon to her, slurping up the porridge and chewing on it for a bit before swallowing it quickly. However, she, too, felt that the issue might be too much, so she said, “Mommy, tell daddy about this. Daddy is very powerful; he surely can protect mommy well.”

Su Li was quite taken aback by Su Xiaobei’s remarks. It suddenly reminded her of how Xiao Luo had saved her from Bode Villa two days ago, and it inexplicably made her felt warm and safe. But when she suddenly thought of Xiao Luo wanting to terminate their relations.h.i.+p, it made her felt cold and disappointed. She used to harbor thoughts of a meaningful relations.h.i.+p with him, but not anymore.

“Didn’t I just tell you? You don’t have to worry so much about adults’ affairs. When you are a grown-up, mommy will naturally tell you more things.”

“Hmm, okay!”

The little girl nodded obediently and continued eating her porridge.

“Li Li, this whole matter is getting out of hand, and to make things worse, the company is trying to cut all ties with us. We’re facing a tough situation now; how can you remain so calm?” Chai Zhiying cried. She was so anxious that she could not bear to stay idle and do nothing. She was in charge of Su Li’s legal affairs and had witnessed her rise as a superstar. Now that such an unfortunate situation had arisen, it might very well be the fall of Su Li, and that worried her more than anything else in the world.

“So, what do you think I should do?”

Su Li asked as she had expected that Huangpu Entertainment Group would pull such a stunt with Yang Yuanzhong being behind bars now. The rest of the shareholders were very close to him, and they would still side with him even if they knew that he was at fault. On top of that, the negative publicity was a convenient reason to take her down, so naturally, they would not let such a perfect opportunity slip.

“Maybe you can go to the company and bow down to president Zhang and the rest of them, and this crisis would be…”

“I am not going to bow down!”

Before Chai Zhiying could finish her lines, Su Li cut her off abruptly with a fierce determination.

She could foresee the outcome of backing down to them as those jerks were the ones who created and normalized the casting couch in s...o...b..z. Many new celebrities in Huangpu had entered into private deals with them, and if she went to seek help from them now, she could not think of any other outcome besides being asked to offer her body in exchange.

But Chai Zhiying was adamant and still tried to convince Su Li. “Li Li, we’re in a tough situation now. Without their support, you will be annihilated in this ongoing public discussion,” she argued.

“Forget it. There’s no room for discussion in this matter.”

Su Li replied as she put down the bowl and spoon and stood up defiantly.

Chai Zhiying wanted to say something but decided not to speak in the end. Instead, she let out a long sigh as she did not know what else to do now. She knew Su Li’s personality better than anyone—she was incredibly stubborn, which was her bane. As far as Chai Zhiying was concerned, without the company’s support, it was akin to ending her career with her own hands.

“Daughter, let’s listen to Zhiying. After all, she’s your…”

w.a.n.g Wanjing tried to persuade Su Li, but her voice trailed off when she met with Su Li’s cold eyes, and she did not finish her sentence.

Su Li had already made efforts to forgive her gradually, and allowing her to stay was proof of that. For a mother who drugged her daughter, what right did she have in trying to educate her?

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

“It must be daddy,” Su Xiaobei cried.

Aunt Li went to answer the door, and as Su Xiaobei had guessed, it was none other than Xiao Luo.

Su Xiaobei was thrilled and shouted out, “Daddy!”

As Xiao Luo smiled and approached her, two individuals were glaring at him, and their hatred of the man was evident. Chai Zhiying was one of them, and w.a.n.g Wanjing was the other.

Xiao Luo chose to ignore them and sat down beside Su Xiaobei, playfully touching her tiny nose. He looked at Su Li and said, “You guys are talking about what’s going on online, right?”

Had Zhang Dashan not told him during their phone call, he would not have known that such chaos was stirring on the internet.

“Hmm,” Su Li whispered as she nodded her head.

Su Canye, accustomed to the good life, felt the need to pitch in. “Brother-in-law, what a coincidence that you’re here. Ah, it looks like my sister probably cannot overcome this challenge on her own. I think you’ll have to start taking care of her money matters in the future,” he said, “If she can no longer make any more money, it would be unimaginable—my mom and I will starve to death!”

BANG!

Su Li could not tolerate it anymore and slammed the table. She pointed at the door and yelled, “Su Canye, you have ten seconds to get the h.e.l.l out of here with your mother!”

“Sis, I am joking, really, you have no sense of humor at all. Look, I just scolded an idiot online who was defaming you—I even scolded every single ancestor of his, and he couldn’t take it. I had scolded him off the internet! This is really relieving, just like how last year there was an online flaming between Sanqian Luoshui and Jia Zhenyi.” Su Canye said as he put the phone before her eyes to flaunt his victory.

“Cough…”

With the mention of the handle name, “Sanqian Luoshui,” Xiao Luo choked, for he was the account owner after all.
