Chapter 217 – Cash Cow (1)
Yu Xinjie immediately realized that she would be doomed the moment she slipped up. But like spilled water, she couldn’t take it back anymore, more so with the cameras recording her every move. Thus, she started to walk out in a hurry.
The one sensitive word that the current Yu Yaoyao could be triggered over, even if she were driven to the end of her wits, was ‘money’.
“What do you mean by a cash cow that shimmied its way out of our hands? Did you mean Chen Qiao, that traffic actor, by any chance?”
Yu Xinjie grit her teeth. She merely had a slip of tongue due to a fit of anger, who knew the dumb sister would particularly hold onto that part alone?“Sis, you heard wrong! Well, I’ll be leaving first!”
Yu Yaoyao, this dumb, meek rabbit who she had played by the tip of her pinky finger, danced to her tunes for over a decade, had suddenly turned smart after she hit her head. She was now a ferocious beast! Who’s the white rabbit now, she’s clearly a beast!
Yu Xinjie’s lungs felt like they were going to explode today. She felt inexplicably scared and extremely jittery. Her mind was tossed about in complete chaos so much so that she’d ended up panicking and saying the wrong thing! She clearly wanted to provoke and intimidate, but got provoked instead!
Yu Xinjie made haste and scurried out of the door. Not forgetting to leave the wine behind, she hauled her suitcase behind her, yanked the door open, and fled for dear life. She didn’t stop running even when the door slammed shut and sprinted all the way till the villa was no longer in sight. It was only then that she breathed out a sigh of relief.
Just then, she knew that Yu Yaoyao would not do anything to her but was nevertheless terrified. Her survival instincts were screaming at her – It felt as if her head would really be bitten off of her neck by Yu Yaoyao!
Why and how has Yu Yaoyao changed so much?
Yu Xinjie endured the question, took the notebook, and glowered at its cover resentfully. She then tore it to pieces, throwing it directly into a nearby trash can!Back at the villa.
Inside this cozy place, the atmosphere was very strange at the moment. Almost the entire camera crew of《My Wife and I》 was looking at Shen Yichong with some embarrassment.
Guangxin’s cash cow was about to fly away … Who else would the cash cow be but Chen Qiao? Moreover, it was Yu Yaoyao’s sister who had directly outed his name!
Guangxin had reached a new low and was on the verge of closing down. If the actor changed boats, wouldn’t the company’s situation be even direr?
Several crew members exchanged awkward glances with one another. Director Zhao Yu gaped at Shen Yichong in shock, trying to glean some hints from his visage.
To his utter disappointment, Shen Yichong’s face remained unchanged. He simply patted Yu Yaoyao’s little hand and said, “Continue eating.”
Yu Yaoyao frowned slightly. If her memory served right, according to the original story, it was Chen Qiao’s departure from Guangxin that had turned Shen Yichong poor.
“Husband, Chen Qiao~”
Shen Yichong helped her pick a choicy piece of fish and removed its thorns. “Everyone has the freedom to choose whether to leave or stay.” He then shifted his calm gaze and regarded the camera crew. “Please don’t dwell on her words. The matters just now have nothing to do with the 《My Wife and I》 program, thank you.”
Director Zhao Yu’s lips twitched. He was already a veteran in the circle, he obviously had an understanding of some basic rules. If the actor Chen Qiao, really chose to leave Guangxin at this point in time, there must be some reason. Perhaps there were some insider stories that outsiders wouldn’t be in the know of – And it’s better not to be in the know of …
Zhao Yu immediately schooled his curiosity. “President Shen, you can rest assured, we will never disclose this incident. Please continue, you can have more warm interactions during the meal. Let’s finish filming this section.”
As soon as Zhao Yu said that, Yu Yaoyao immediately threw Chen Qiao to the back of her mind. She blinked a pair of beautiful eyes in joy, and looked at Shen Yichong tenderly. Her heart felt fluffy.
Soon, Shen Yichong couldn’t bear it no matter how well he tried to ignore the gaze. He couldn’t help reaching out and wiping the corner of his mouth with a napkin.
Was there something on his face?
But Yu Yaoyao immediately scooted next to him with a rice bowl, just like a puppy with a wagging tail. “Husband, did you see my performance just then? Do you have anything you want to tell me~?”
She blinked her eyes rapidly and moved the red wine Yu Xinjie had left by the counter towards Shen Yichong.
Shen Yichong studied her shy and demure look. It was a complete 180 from how she had been before. His heart felt like it had been grazed with a gentle feather.
Reaching out, he touched her snowy cheeks, the hoarse voice fell in the dining room. “You were really very well-behaved today. He praised her like how he would their son when he performed well at school.
“Keep it up.” It was rare to see her opposing Yu Xinjie so directly. “You’ve grown wiser.” Shen Yichong unreservedly expressed his approval over her actions.
As soon as Yu Yaoyao heard the praise, she immediately bobbed her head and beamed in satisfaction. While some of the data she entered in the account book was based on her recollection of the plot in the book, most of it was based on the original owner’s memories. “Husband, don’t worry, I’ll make sure to get back all the money bit by bit~”
Shen Yichong was hit with a sudden feeling of a parent whose ignorant daughter had grown wiser to the ways of the world overnight. “On that note, I’m not bankrupt. Our family still has some money. You and our son can both rest reassured.” Earlier, Yu Xunjie had interrupted him before he could say that. He finally had a chance to clarify the misunderstanding. “Our current standard of living wouldn’t get any worse in the future.” He added.
