My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 562: Of Course I Know, But It Doesn’t Matter
Chapter 562: Chapter 562: Of Course I Know, But It Doesn’t Matter
Xi Nian raised an eyebrow with a smile, "Who can tell? Indeed, being the only son, they thought they had kept this matter tightly secret, but in reality, there’s no difference in how we’re treated—when it’s time to scold, they’re even more ruthless than us."
"Who knew this is actually a strange kind of care, worrying that their own son would end up useless, a hopeless Adou, afraid that the Xi Family’s assets would fall on our heads."
Speaking of which, it’s all so ironic. Yuran felt aggrieved for having been born into such a household at the Xi Family. She sighed and massaged her forehead, feeling somewhat relieved, "Although I lived a messy life before, compared to growing up in the Xi Family, I think I’ve been very lucky."
Meng Qiuyan also agreed with Yuran’s statement, "Count me in. I also think that not growing up in the Xi Family has possibly saved my values. If I had, who knows what I could have turned into by now."
The three Xi brothers: "..."
Xi Yang awkwardly explained, "Actually, this matter, well, it’s a long story. We can’t really say we grew up in the Xi Family either."
Xi Yan nodded, agreeing with Xi Yang’s statement.
Xi Nian did not explain, but at that time, no explanation was better than any explanation.
Yuran finished barbecuing the chicken wings and added one to each person’s bowl, smiling, "The hard days are over, and our hope has just begun. Why discuss these matters now? There’s no point. What we can do now is strive to make our future path broader;
As for the enemies, naturally, the more they care about something, the more we should fight to seize it."
Xi Yang smiled, taking a bite of the chicken wing in his bowl. He had thought arriving here would make him feel heavy-hearted and worried that Meng Qiuyan might feel uncomfortable around them.
But the meal turned out to be quite relaxed. Everyone here was letting go of an unpassable past—it made no sense to dwell on it. The emotional release they needed had escalated.
Mourning the entire Xi Family was what they should be doing.
Suddenly Xi Gu was called back to London, evidently the old man had already thought of a way out for him, and Xie Lingling had vanished like evaporated from the face of the earth within half a day, no longer able to scheme from this.
Honestly, Xi Gu was quite angry and furious.
The old man didn’t keep his word, helping Xi Gu cheat, which greatly displeased him.
Clutching a glass of alcohol and gulping it down in one go, Xi Nian looked pensively at Bo Yan, "Does Diyang have any interest in acquiring Huanya?"
Bo Yan was busy barbecuing pork belly for Yuran, with neatly arranged lettuce on the side, and upon hearing this, his gaze shifted from the barbecue, but the motion of flipping the meat didn’t stop, "Are you planning to give Huanya to me?"
Xi Nian coughed incredulously, "Are you really that poor?"
Bo Yan spread his hands, "Well, I’m not exactly poor, but I have a son and daughter-in-law to support—it’s not a small pressure, and suddenly taking on a huge company like Huanya without spare cash."
Xi Yan: "..."
Xi Yang: "..."
Facing Bo Yan’s shameless audacity, Xi Nian was chagrined yet amused, "I’m glad you acknowledge that shares in Huanya are valuable, but Bo, the Great Actor, aren’t you being a bit too shameless?"
Bo Yan, "For me, Huanya is a mess, although you’ve integrated it and its effectiveness is gradually showing. But it’s hard to bear, given Huanya’s internal mistrust."
"If you can persuade your old man, I’ll consider it. Rest assured, Diyang still has the funds to buy Huanya, let alone a crumbling Huanya."
"You..."
The words ’crumbling’ made Xi Nian understand, "You mean, you want to dominate alone?"
Bo Yan raised an eyebrow, looking at him nonchalantly as if it were natural, "What’s wrong with that? In Diyang, the resources are allocated logically, there is no overt or covert fighting among the artists, and I personally believe our environment is the best in the industry. At least some illegal operations and gray areas, we do not engage in;
We ensure the absolute safety of our artists, the Diyang system is robust, including our star-making process, there’s no special treatment for those bringing capital;
Over the years, we have been trying to turn Diyang’s rules into transparent, principled ones, so Diyang can swallow Huanya, and Huanya’s artists should feel lucky; frёeωebɳovel.com
For those who are dispensable, Diyang has already made significant concessions. If you think there’s nothing appealing in my proposal, you can reject it. Diyang won’t miss them."
Indeed, Diyang had an excellent reputation; its scope was broad; artists were categorized by talent, with no overlapping resources or infighting for them. There were enough resources for everyone; there was no need to worry about the lack of opportunities to rise.
As long as you’re good enough, you can definitely make it at Diyang.
Unless you’re someone who, no matter how much they’re promoted, just doesn’t get popular, or those who lack public appeal.
Bo Yan continued nonchalantly, "You can think about it. I’m not in a hurry on this side. Taking over such a big plate as Huanya requires a lot of cash flow, and I should have some time to raise the money, right?"
Absolutely nonsense.
Everyone’s lips twitched, clearly disbelieving Bo Yan’s speech. Was he really treating everyone as fools?
What a cunning move.
Xi Yang, eager after hearing Bo Yan’s words, said, "Big brother, I’m kind of curious, if the old man knew that the chess pieces he arranged are starting to devour each other, with the game changing suddenly when he thought he had a winning hand, would it anger him to death?"
Xi Yang’s voice was very sinister, like a venomous snake, making people shudder at its sound.
Yet, to Yuran and the others, it sufficiently indicated that their upbringing was truly not easy. If they hadn’t struggled so hard under their grandfather’s oppression, they wouldn’t have reached this point. During this time, any slight rebellious tendency from them, and the old man would certainly not have kept them till now.
Yuran’s expression was complex; now, she wanted to meet this lady who looked down on them, to see exactly who she was and why she was so cold-blooded.
Or, was there some other reason they didn’t know about?
Xi Yan also showed great interest, the smile never fading from his face, interjecting, "The old man must think I’m at odds with Xi Yang, like we wouldn’t speak even if we met, happy to watch us kill each other silently;
Now, he probably thinks that by helping Xi Gu overshadow my elder brother, all of Xi Family’s businesses will eventually return to his hands, to be given to whoever he wants.
But, as everyone can see, the current balance is the best. The old man is definitely still cautious of us. Xi Yang and I stick to our own land, just not moving, waiting for his commands, and then we’ll just play along, and lull him."
Bo Yan, "Are you guys that naïve? Aren’t you worried about being monitored?"
Xi Nian, "I’m aware, but it doesn’t matter."
