Xia Yitong: "When will you come back? I'll treat you to a meal."
It is no exaggeration to say that Xue Yao was touched for a moment. Although the little bastard was a bit annoying, he knew how to be grateful. It was worth it for her to work hard and run around. Alas, her daughter was still a caring little cotton-padded jacket.
But Xue Yao and Lu Yinbing had been together for a long time, and they were like the black sheep that come with the black sheep. Although she was not touched, she said indifferently: "I thought you were going to ask me for my address so that you could beat me up again."
Xia Yitong laughed: "It's not appropriate to beat someone up in the hospital. It's easy to be filmed."
Xue Yao: "How about I change places? You can continue."
Xia Yitong groaned and knelt down in front of her: "Sister, please forgive me. Tell me, where are we going to eat?"
Xue Yao stopped teasing her and followed the lawyer who came over to tell him something before walking out: "I'll go back now. I don't know what to eat here. You've been here before, right? Just take me somewhere. I haven't had lunch yet and I'm starving. Did Lu Yinbing fall asleep again?"
Xia Yitong said: "How do you know?"
Xue Yao rolled her eyes: "Don't I know you? If she didn't sleep, would you call me to have dinner?"
Xia Yitong laughed again: "Give me your address and I'll pick you up in the car."
Dong Yafei's matter has come to a temporary end. She doesn't want to ask anymore, nor does she want to care about it anymore. Lu Yinbing doesn't want her to know because he doesn't want her to blame herself and get stuck on it. If she keeps staring at this matter, Lu Yinbing's efforts will be in vain and she will let him down.
People need to keep moving forward and not be tripped up by things that have already been decided.
But there was one thing she didn't know whether to do. If she didn't do it, she would always feel guilty about it, but if she did it, she was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble.
She told Xue Yao about this while eating.
It turned out that when Xia Yitong and Dong Yafei were good friends, Dong Yafei's mother was studying in college. Dong Yafei's mother would occasionally come to visit her daughter, and by the way, she also got to know Xia Yitong, Dong Yafei's best friend at the time. Seeing that Xia Yitong had a pitiful life and was self-reliant, she felt pity for her and treated her as her own daughter. Sometimes, she treated Xia Yitong better than her own daughter, buying her food and clothes. She was the first elder besides the dean who was truly kind to Xia Yitong since she was a child. One year, she even followed Dong Yafei to her home to celebrate the New Year.
Later, although the two of them became estranged, Dong's mother didn't know about it and would call her every New Year and ask her affectionately if she wanted to go to her house for the New Year. Although Dong Yafei's character was not very good, she was a filial daughter. Xia Yitong guessed that she had not told Dong's mother that the two of them had become strangers.
Now Dong Yafei is bound to go to jail. Although she has brought this upon herself, how can she survive alone in her hometown when her mother lost her husband in middle age and her elderly daughter is in jail? Xia Yitong does not sympathize with Dong Yafei, but she cannot help sympathizing with her mother.
Xue Yao put a piece of fried beef in her mouth. The sauce was rich and the taste was refreshing. It was not bad. She swallowed it and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Xia Yitong said: "Transfer some money to her mother's card."
Xue Yao saw that she was still frowning, so she asked, "Are you worried?"
Xia Yitong sighed: "Why should I give her a sum of money? Say I'm sending your daughter to jail, and this money is compensation for you, so you can enjoy your old age at home?"
Xue Yao looked at her as if she was a fool: "Didn't you say she treated you well? It's the younger generation's duty to show respect to the elders, so what's wrong with giving some money? You are so rich."
"I don't have money." Xia Yitong retorted, but then realized that she had gone off topic. She smiled and said, "You don't know, her mother is a very simple and a little stubborn person. Let alone hundreds of thousands, she wouldn't even accept 10,000 yuan. She even refused to buy her some supplements."
"Then don't tell her and secretly transfer the money to her account."
"Then she must have returned it to the bank. If the bank can't refund it, she can donate it again."
"… "
Xia Yitong sighed again and put some rice into his mouth.
"Actually, I've been thinking, am I a little too saintly? Her mother is her own business, and Dong Yafei wasn't killed by me, so why should I worry about it? What if I help her aunt, and Dong Yafei repays me with evil after she's released from prison, how would I feel then..." Xia Yitong felt like chewing wax, and poked the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks, making holes all over it.
Although the matter was resolved, Xia Yitong still felt depressed and a little breathless when she thought about it. It was she who caused the trouble, and in the end she wanted to blame Lu Yinbing. She knew there were such people in the world, but she never thought it would happen to her.
Xue Yao kept talking, and listening to her talk did not delay her meal at all. She finished another mouthful of bamboo shoots and said, "There are many kinds of people, so just forget about this kind of person after he passes through your mind."
Xia Yitong: "Also, her mother doesn't know yet that she's going to be prosecuted and put in jail. I don't know whether I should tell her or not."
Xue Yao stopped, stood up, crossed the table and knocked her on the forehead with the end of a chopstick: "Are you stupid? Why do you have to notify people about this? The police will notify them."
Xia Yitong: "Hey, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried. If her mother knew, she would be so angry."
"She won't die of anger," Xue Yao said, "You said she was filial, so let her see how sad her mother is because of what she did. She will not do it again. This is a good thing."
Xia Yitong blinked, as if what he said made sense.
Xue Yao continued, "Don't apply a few words you read online to yourself. I've lived half a lifetime longer than you. What's the point of being a saint? The old lady is indeed pitiful. You should help her if you can. Besides, she was so kind to you before. Dong Yafei is Dong Yafei, and her mother is her mother. They are two different things. Don't worry about it at this stage. Wait until the dust settles. Take the time to go see her mother and give her whatever she deserves. If she doesn't want money, force it on you. If that doesn't work, hide her in the quilt, on the sofa, or in the kitchen. If she really can't survive, I don't believe she won't refuse."
Xia Yitong's eyes lit up.
Xue Yao picked up Qiao and cleared her throat: "I'm thirsty."
Xia Yitong served her tea and water. Xue Yao took a sip and continued, "Dong Yafei did this shit herself. She must be too embarrassed to tell the old lady the whole story. How would the old lady know that this matter has anything to do with you? Think about it, the old lady is old, her daughter is in jail, and now she has a daughter who takes good care of her. Let alone giving her money, she would think that you gave her a house as a gift from her daughter and would live in it happily."
Xia Yitong gave her a thumbs up, her amazement evident in her words.
"I've been running around lately, not only dealing with official business but also your personal affairs, acting as a spiritual mentor. I'm so tired. Look, I've lost a lot of hair." Xue Yao stroked the back of her head and spread out her palm. Three or four strands of hair were tangled together. She sighed heavily, threw the hair into the trash can, raised her eyelids to look at Xia Yitong, and complained, "Can you give President Lu a strong suggestion to give me more shares?"
Xia Yitong: "... I'll try."
The two returned to the hospital together. Xue Yao went to see Lu Yinbing and went back to work. Xia Yitong held the script as usual and waited for Lu Yinbing to wake up. When the meal was almost over, Lu Yinbing woke up and wanted to stretch, but considering her fixed hand, she had to give up. After waking up, she couldn't stretch and felt uncomfortable all over.
Xia Yitong gave her some water and talked about Xue Yao's suggestion during lunch.
Xia Yitong said in a brisk tone: "Mother Xue asked me if I could strongly suggest to you to give her more shares. She has been suffering from severe hair loss recently and it seems that she needs money to heal it."
Lu Yinbing thought for a moment and said, "She seems to have had a hard time these days, so let's add another 2%."
Seeing how straightforward she was, Xia Yitong suddenly thought and asked with a smile, "How much profit does our studio make in a year?"
Star studios, especially those like Lu Yinbing that have been operating for many years, make the most of their money, not the commercial pay and advertising revenue of their artists, but investment and investment. Investment means that the studio invests in film and television dramas and earns a share, while investment means the money that investors invest in the studio's artists. With Lu Yinbing's brand effect, investors are constantly coming, and after Xia Yitong signed, they are even more crowded.
As far as Lu Yinbing knows, Xue Yao has been investing in real estate in the name of the company for a long time, including residential, office buildings, and shops. How much money she has made is only known to Lu Yinbing when she sees the financial statements submitted at the end of each year. She once lamented that Xue Yao is a business genius and being a broker is really a waste of talent. However, Xue Yao said that she still likes to be a broker and investment is just a side job.
Lu Yinbing recalled last year's financial statements and reported a rough figure. Xia Yitong's legs went weak and she almost knelt down on the spot. 2 percent, she subtracted two zeros from the profit and multiplied it by two to get a number, but her legs still didn't get better.
Lu Yinbing: "What's wrong with you?"
Xia Yitong said with a bitter face: "…It hurts."
Can you just add one percent
Lu Yinbing laughed so hard that she got a headache.
Xia Yitong felt pain in her heart as she stopped her: "Watch out for your head."
Lu Yinbing said, "It's okay." After laughing enough, he asked, "Are you going to join the group tomorrow?"
The atmosphere changed suddenly.
The smile on Xia Yitong's face became very faint and she nodded.
"Film your movie well and win me the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival." Lu Yinbing looked at her.
The pressure was so great. Xia Yitong took a deep breath and said, "I'll try my best."
Lu Yinbing couldn't help laughing, "It doesn't matter if you didn't get it. Since 2004, you have been the first and only one. After that, no one else has won. I hope you are the second one."
Xia Yitong said seriously: "The second place will definitely be reserved for you."
Lu Yinbing just smiled and didn't say anything.
Xia Yitong stroked the back of her hand and gently leaned his face against it.
Lu Yinbing pulled his hand out, placed it on her head, and gently combed her long hair with his fingers.
That night, Xia Yitong rushed to the hotel early and officially participated in the filming of "Foster Mother" the next day.
"Action!"
The stage manager hits the board.
At the same time, Lu Yinbing was pushed into the CT room for a second brain examination.
