“What position?” Sang Qiao looked up at her, her small face as calm as ever, momentarily revealing no emotion.
But having interacted for many years, Meng Jiahe could guess she wasn’t angry.
“He’s a movie star, naturally signed as an artist. Even if I wanted to take revenge for you, I couldn’t sign him as a janitor, but! The profit split is one to us, nine to him!”
“This isn’t me taking revenge by giving him this contract, he brought it himself, voluntarily. He told me not to tell you, but I think I still need to tell you.”
Upon hearing this, Sang Qiao’s fingertips paused slightly, she knew all too well how much Sang Shen’s film compensation was.
“Let him go, terminate the contract.”
...
“…This would be a big loss for us, he has already posted on Weibo announcing he signed with our family, and that contract is for fifty years. Terminating now means not only a substantial penalty but also possibly getting angrily berated by his fans.”
In her heart, Meng Jiahe actually didn’t want to terminate Sang Shen’s contract; signing the fool who came to their doorstep felt like a waste.
Moreover, Sang Shen had mistreated Qiaoqiao before, and seeing him so humbled now was deeply satisfying.
“Qiaoqiao, why not let him stay? As an inconspicuous artist, he won’t require your attention, nor does his signing mean you have to forgive him. At this moment, you’re just his superior.”
“Terminate it,” Sang Qiao still didn’t change her mind, her clear black and white eyes cold.
“Alright.” Meng Jiahe felt it was a pity, but she compromised.

Hospital
When Sang Shen’s people found out that the money was transferred to those people by a woman surnamed Sang, he was sitting in the hospital room, and Mrs. Sang and Sang Jiao also heard what was said.
After hanging up the phone, Sang Shen held his cell phone, looked up at them and said,
“It must be Sang Qiao! It’s bad enough she wants to harm you and Jiaojiao, but to also stage everything to make herself appear like a victim, I have to sue her, she can’t get away with this so comfortably!”
Mrs. Sang let out a cold laugh, her face burning with anger.
“Mom, let it go, Qiaoqiao is already pitiful enough, let’s not ruin the rest of her life by bringing this up.”
Lying on the hospital bed, Sang Jiao weakly spoke, smiling understandingly at Sang Shen.
The implication was clear: I don’t mind being hurt by Qiaoqiao, I don’t want you to be troubled.
“It’s not her, she wouldn’t stoop to such dirty tricks, and moreover, she bears no animosity towards us, only indifference.”
Sang Shen quickly retorted, instinctively trying to defend Sang Qiao.
He had doubted her too many times, and now, before the facts were clear, he didn’t want to suspect her.
“Shen’er, what do you mean by this? If not her, could it be me and Jiaojiao? I’m your mother, how could I possibly harm you? Jiaojiao even took a knife for you, the wound was so deep.”
“I didn’t mean that, there might just be some misunderstanding, there are many people in the world named Sang.”
Sang Shen was slightly irritated, his mother’s immense malice towards Sang Qiao left him incredibly frustrated.
Sang Jiao’s forgiving and nonchalant remark also upset him, they were so certain of their stance without even knowing the truth.
“Second Brother makes some sense, Qiaoqiao really doesn’t seem like she would hurt us.”
Sang Jiao seemed to realize she had spoken too hastily and quickly corrected herself.
“We know, we know the women named Sang are just the three of us. If not her, are you implying it’s us? Shen’er, you must thoroughly investigate today’s incident!”
Mrs. Sang had a displeased look on her face, extremely unhappy. In her view, the whole situation was a play staged by Sang Qiao herself to eliminate Jiaojiao!
“I will investigate,” Sang Shen suddenly felt very weak. It was exactly as his mother had said, just the three of them.
Jiaojiao had blocked a knife for him and almost lost too much blood; moreover, although Jiaojiao might have harbored some jealousy, she had never harmed anyone, and there was no need for her to bet her life on it.
His mother was even more timid and afraid of trouble; even though she disliked Qiaoqiao, she wouldn’t be capable of such a cruel act. Moreover, she was panic-stricken yesterday, and she loved Jiaojiao too much to harm her.
But Qiaoqiao didn’t seem like someone who could do such a thing either, yet the intent of those people towards Qiaoqiao yesterday was indeed minimal.
Upon analyzing this, Qiaoqiao’s suspicion became the greatest.
“It would be best to investigate. Once everything comes to light, you are not allowed to cover for her!” Mrs. Sang said coldly.
Both of them failed to notice that the hand that Jiaojiao placed under the blanket was trembling slightly, and a flash of unease passed through her eyes.
She forced herself to act as if nothing was wrong and smiled, “Mom, aren’t we making soup at home?”
“Oh, right, I’ll go get it for you, you rest well.”
“Okay, thank you, Mom.”
Once Mrs. Sang had left, Jiaojiao sighed, appearing as if she understood his inner thoughts.
“Second brother, there’s no need to investigate this matter. Let’s just pretend we know nothing, and that it was just those people committing evil without anyone’s instigation.”
Sang Shen knew Jiaojiao was considering his difficulties, but his heart still felt uncomfortable.
He frowned, “Are you so sure it was Qiaoqiao?”
As soon as he spoke, Jiaojiao looked down at her own wound, pretending to be disheartened, “Then let’s say I did it, to offset the act of me blocking the knife for you. You wouldn’t need to feel guilty towards me, would that be okay?”
Her yielding posture and her pale face undoubtedly made Sang Shen’s heart soften.
He regretted what he had just said immensely.
“Jiaojiao, I didn’t mean to suspect you.”
“Do you suspect Mom then? I don’t think that’s possible. She wouldn’t harm me.”
“No, I…” Sang Shen felt even more uncomfortable, and silence fell in the room for a long while.
Neither spoke for a long time until Sang Shen slowly said, “I appreciate that you took the knife for me, but Jiaojiao, I might not be able to treat you as I did before. I am too tired and feel too guilty towards Qiaoqiao.”
Jiaojiao’s grip tightened, so she could just be discarded? How unjust.
Even though she felt resentment inside, her eyes still showed a compromising attitude.
“I understand, I don’t mind, and I won’t compete with Qiaoqiao for you all in the future. It was wrong of me from the start to want brother four’s favor, thinking I was the preferred one.”
“It is our fault, Jiaojiao. From now on, try not to contact me. Whatever compensation you want, I can provide.”
Sang Shen kept his head down, forcing himself to be a heartless person. That time, Qiaoqiao gave him one chance to forgive him on the condition that he denied Jiaojiao as his sister.
He had refused, but Qiaoqiao’s indifference over such a long time made him suffer.
After experiencing this morning’s gift in the garbage bin, he seemed to understand that if he wanted the two sisters, he would forever lose Sang Qiao.
He couldn’t accept it; he even regretted not accepting that proposal back then. At this moment, he also realized that his heart was biased.
He could wrong Jiaojiao, compensate her financially, and accept that she might ignore him for the rest of her life, even as a stranger.
But he could not accept being ignored by Sang Qiao for a lifetime.
