Entertainment: Starting with a complete collapse

I hope so too.

Zhao Liyuan gave a slightly stiff smile.

You're still the best.

With one hand on the steering wheel, Xu Ying, seeing Zhao Liyuan's confusion, grabbed her left hand with his other hand and said, "From today onwards, I'm willing to share everything with you, except for our son and that bastard."

"Those I don't like"

Zhao Liyuan replied with a smile.

She didn't want to share with Xu Ying either, because there were just too many women she shared with, so many that Zhao Liyuan had to count them on her fingers. Sometimes she wondered where Huang Min, who was both filming and acting, could find so much energy.

There are plenty of wealthy tycoons in the entertainment industry who have young women, but they usually only have one at most, and the rest... might have a relationship, but after that, they give each other some resources and that relationship ends. But Huang Min is different; he directly takes each of them as his real women, except for those he doesn't marry.

"I almost forgot about Tongtong's dad."

Xu Ying immediately thought of Zhao Liyuan's relationship with a certain capital tycoon in the industry and couldn't help but laugh. Then, she asked curiously, "It seems like your relationship isn't very good. Has it broken up? If so, don't be soft-hearted. Take advantage of him. 350 million is no small sum. It's equivalent to several years of hard work. If you ask me, just take that money back from him, and also ask him for another 200 million as compensation..."

As she spoke, Xu Ying couldn't continue.

Let alone the bigwigs in the entertainment industry, even top figures in the business world, there are very few who can readily withdraw five or six hundred million in cash. There are indeed many wealthy people in this society, but the wealth of many rich people is in fixed assets, that is, how much their companies are worth and how much profit they can generate each year, and then how many times they are valued. Very few people can actually withdraw five or six hundred million in cash at once.

"I'm not going to say anything more."

Zhao Liyuan smiled.

Compared to Xu Ying's pity for her, Zhao Liyuan was quite open-minded.

It's already good enough that money can settle things with the Xu family. As for getting her losses back from Huang Min, firstly, Zhao Liyuan hadn't thought about it, and secondly... the other party's intentions were very clear last time.

She herself initially said that the son wasn't his, so she wouldn't give him the child at all.

Since that's their attitude, she couldn't be bothered to keep pressing them. If she kept asking, not only would Huang Min still not give it to her, but he might also develop a grudge against her.

Now that Xu Ying is pregnant with his two sons, Tongtong is no longer his only son besides Lin Wan's son. If he gets annoyed, he might not even acknowledge his own son anymore.

Zhao Liyuan has a deep understanding of Huang Min's ruthlessness.

"Has the meaning been cut off?"

Xu Ying asked again.

"Don't ask, I just don't know."

Zhao Liyuan replied helplessly.

Zhao Liyuan herself couldn't say for sure what her relationship with Huang Min was now. However, the only thing she was sure of was that if she found another boyfriend and got married, he probably wouldn't stop her like last time, but he probably wouldn't give her a second glance afterward. After all, Huang Min had shown his disdain for her having been married once before. He might have tolerated it this time for the sake of his son and could still get along with her peacefully. But if it happened again, he probably wouldn't stop to look at her when he passed by her house again.

:

"You!"

Xu Ying sighed softly, "I've realized that things have been too easy for us sisters before..."

"Things haven't been going well for me!"

Zhao Liyuan reminded her, "I started working as an extra in Hengdian when I was a teenager, and I did it for several years. I didn't earn much money, and I had to send some of it home. You're different. You graduated from a professional acting school, and your family is relatively well-off. Do you know when my family could afford a black and white TV?"

"When?"

Xu Ying asked subconsciously.

Back in the 1990s

Zhao Liyuan replied with a smile, "Back then, your family must have already set their sights on color TVs! As for refrigerators and washing machines, my family couldn't afford them until the early 2000s."

"It's quite bitter."

Xu Ying replied.

"It wasn't actually that bad."

Zhao Liyuan thought for a moment and smiled, "Every family in the village is pretty much the same. No one is much richer than another. As long as you haven't experienced a very wealthy life, you won't feel how hard it is to be in a relatively poor environment. Only after experiencing it do you realize how hard it really was. I remember quite clearly that we loved playing shuttlecock and jumping rope back then. I guess you probably haven't played them. I'll introduce you to them sometime. I'm telling you all this because I, your best friend, didn't have a smooth life before, but your family situation and subsequent development have been very smooth. Even your transition from acting to investing didn't take much effort."

"hehe"

Hearing Yuanyuan say this, Xu Ying belatedly realized that things seemed to be going quite smoothly for her. However, she hesitated slightly before nodding and saying, "I admit that things are much smoother than yours. I'm talking about now! I didn't want to get married before. Even if my ex-boyfriend begged me, I never even considered getting married. Now, I'm practically begging that bastard Huang Min. He didn't refuse, but he made a very unreasonable request."

"What?"

Zhao Liyuan felt a pang of panic and subconsciously asked.

"Let me kill Lin Wan."

Xu Ying replied.

"..."

Zhao Liyuan paused for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled, "He still hates Lin Wan quite a bit, so what do you say?"

"Don't joke around."

Xu Ying said irritably, "It's fine if I beat up Lin Wan, but killing her is one thing. If I kill Lin Wan, I'll get life imprisonment if not death. That bastard says he's willing to wait for me, but what's the point of waiting? I might just go in and he'll turn around and find a few beautiful women to celebrate with a bottle of champagne."

Xu Ying then chatted with Yuan Yuan.

As for Huang Min asking her to kill someone... that was just talk.

"Don't even mention Lin Wan isn't worth it. Even if she were, she wouldn't do something like this," Zhao Liyuan smiled. It was unlikely she'd be opening a bottle of champagne with a few beautiful women, but celebrating with his little woman was a certainty. Then, Zhao Liyuan remembered something and asked, "Didn't you two partner with Huang Min to open a snack brand called 'Te Xiang Lai'? How's it going?"

:

It exploded.

Upon hearing Yuanyuan mention the snack brand, Xu Ying's smile deepened instantly.

"It exploded?"

Zhao Liyuan looked surprised.

"It really exploded."

Xu Ying laughed and said, "Since the first day of opening, the turnover has been increasing. On the 8th, the member day that Huang Min mentioned, the supermarket was packed with people. From the time the store opened in the morning until it closed at night, the cashiers basically didn't stop. I heard from Ren Dong that two of the stores were located in relatively remote areas, but the turnover still increased day by day after the opening. Now the store expansion speed has picked up. However, if you want to expand quickly, you still need to become a franchise store. I estimate that in another two months, you will have to become the brand ambassador for 'Te Xiang Lai'."
