429: Name Your Price

Name Your Price

'Great. I'm a dog now.' Ye Jiu thought begrudgingly.

Fu Zhi turned her head away from Ye Jiu after she finished speaking. 

Ye Jiu grabbed Fu Zhi's head and forced Fu Zhi to look him in the eye before saying in a serious voice, "Biu, biu, rebound, rebound!"

Fu Zhi was speechless.

"You're so childish," Fu Zhi commented as she pushed Ye Jiu's hand away. "Rebound invalid!" 

It was Ye Jiu's turn to be speechless.

'Well, you're just as childish as me!'

Not wanting to talk to Fu Zhi anymore, Ye Jiu turned around and played with his game. Fu Zhi then told Ye San, "I asked Ye Jiu to send the script to you on WeChat. Have you read it?"

"The cover is ugly, and the file format is too ugly to read," Ye San replied honestly. 

"Alright," Fu Zhi said. "I will change the format and send it to you again. You can take your time reading it."

"Okay." Ye San nodded. "So, are you seeing someone?"

Fu Zhi was speechless once again. 

'Great. He finally remembered what he came here for.'

Well, honestly, she was indeed seeing someone, but she would not say that they were in a relationship right now. Just like an intern was fundamentally different from an employee who was officially hired, he was not officially her boyfriend yet. 

Thus, Fu Zhi shook her head slowly.

Ye San took a look at his watch and got to his feet. "Do you need me to give you a few million as pocket money?"

"It's okay. I'm fine for now."

"Alright then."

Fu Zhi seemed able to detect a hint of disappointment in Ye San's voice. 

"I will compile every detail for you and ask Ye Jiu to send it to you on WeChat so that you can start to arrange your schedule," Fu Zhi said. "If you still need anything, just let Ye Jiu know and he will tell me."

Ye Shiyun wanted to ask, "Why can't you add me on WeChat and communicate with me yourself? Why must you have Le Jiu talk to me?"

However, he did not ask the question in the end. Before he went down the stairs, he said, "You accidentally touched my right hand just now."

"Huh?"

"You have to touch my left hand now."

Fu Zhi had lost count of how many times she had been left speechless ever since Ye San had shown up there.

That said, she still obediently pulled Ye Shiyun's left hand. 

Ye Shiyun's lips curled up into a content smile, and before he went into his car, he said, "I promise you I will memorize my lines well."

Ever since Ye Shiyun had become an actor, he had not run into any big issues or problems. If he came across a particular script that he did not like, he would just chant "1, 2, 3" and leave the rest of the job to the dubbers. 

He did not need to work hard to be a successful actor, and everyone would be attracted to him due to his charisma even if his acting skills were bad.

He was one of the highest-paid actors in their country, and his salary was higher than the salary of most veteran actors. This was also the reason so many people attacked him, as they all claimed that he was unworthy of his high pay.

However, Ye Shiyun did not care how others thought of him at all. He only needed to take care of himself. The market would determine his value, and a good director or a good script would present themselves in front of him.

However, the person who had approached him this time was Fu Zhi.

He did not want to disappoint her, so he decided to do his best this time. 

——

The second batch of students entered the museum at around 9:00 a.m. Ye Jiu did not want to stay there anymore. He wanted to go to the arcade to play with the claw crane machines.

However, Fu Zhi left her bag on the balcony on the 2nd floor.

Ye Jiu poked Fu Zhi's head twice with his finger and said, "I will wait for you here. You hurry up and go take your bag. Otherwise, I'm going to give those dolls to my other sisters!" 

——

At the same time, Huo Ningxin had arrived at the museum. In order to make herself look friendlier, she had changed into normal, more casual attire. 

When she got out of the Santana, the first thing she saw was Ye Jiu poking her future daughter-in-law's head with his finger. 

Her heart skipped a beat, and by the time she walked up to them, Fu Zhi had already gone back into the museum.

Ye Jiu turned around and looked at the woman in front of him. Huo Ningxin immediately told Ye Jiu about her identity, and Ye Jiu raised his eyebrows in surprise. He seemed to know who Fu Zhi was seeing already.

He sent a message to Fu Zhi. [Well, well, well. Fu Zhi, the mother of the man you're seeing is here. I'm sure she's come to drag you away from her son with money! It's fine if she insults me, but the Li Corporation is a listed company, and that means they are filthy rich! I will help you confront his mother now. While you're here, you have to promise me that you won't give in even if she offers you 2 million yuan to leave her son. Remember that!!]

After saying that, Ye Jiu shut his phone without waiting for Fu Zhi to reply.

Huo Ningxin and Ye Jiu went into a coffee shop. She ordered two cups of cappuccino, and they sat opposite each other.

Ye Jiu did not say anything. He just clasped his hands as he prepared to throw himself at Huo Ningxin should she say anything bad about his sister.

On the other hand, Huo Ningxin gracefully took a sip of coffee.

Since the first time she had met Ye Jiu, she'd understood why her future daughter-in-law would be bewitched by him. 

The young man sitting in front of her was indeed capable of capturing a girl's heart easily, and she had to admit that he was as good-looking as her son.

Girls nowadays liked boys with pretty faces, and for a girl like Fu Zhi, who came from a wealthy family, having one or two kept men was not a problem. 

'Sigh… It seems like money may not be able to bewitch my daughter-in-law.'

Huo Ningxin was a little nervous. She turned to look at Ye Jiu again. If he was an ugly man, she would not even have spared him a single glance, but…

Huo Ningxin had seen a lot of people, so she was certain that the young man sitting in front of her right now was not an easy opponent.

'The best defense is offense, so I have to strike first!' With that thought in mind, Huo Ningxin said, "Name your price." 

Ye Jiu leaned against the back of the chair and replied with a smile, "True love is priceless."

Huo Ningxing frowned. "You're still young, so maybe you feel that true love can't be measured with money, but when you grow up, step into society, and experience deception, you won't find the love between you and Fu Zhi that great."

'Hold on a second! Between me and Fu Zhi? What the hell is she talking about? How could I marry my own sister?' 

Ye Jiu was dumbfounded. Then, Huo Ningxin added, "If you truly love her, then you should just dissolve this love triangle and let her live her best life instead of putting her in a conundrum, don't you think?"

Ye JIu did not know what to say.

Huo Ningxin handed him a check. "Here is 2 million yuan. It should be enough for you to live a rich life and start over in a different city."

Ye Jiu finally came back to his senses. He rubbed his face and lowered his head. After a while, he lifted his head and shouted, "But she's the person I love the most in my life!"2

Huo Ningxin knew it was cruel, but for the sake of her child's happiness, she had to sacrifice him.

She pulled out a stack of checks and said, "I can increase my price!"

Ye Jiu then said, "No more bargaining! 80 million yuan!"
