“Just the literal meaning of it. No matter if it’s a small company or a huge corporation, if we allow everyone to mess with the policy just because they are family, how would it flourish? It’s better to just split the money so that we can go separate ways. The Zhan business is huge and so is the Zhan family. Did you think that they do not have relatives themselves? With so many of them, if grandfather would just allow them to do what you just said, how would the Zhan family be able to live on till now?
“Plus, Qin Yi is asking for the first male lead and Jing Lu is asking for the second female lead. The investment in this drama is huge and the fees for both these roles would already cost up to one billion yuan worth of expenses. You need to know that this amount of money would be sufficient to save the entire Jing family. Mother, do you really think that this is just a small amount of money??”

“Qin Yi and Jing Lu are both great actors. They would be able to earn so much more than this amount and the Zhan family would still be the one getting the profit!”
“Then why don’t the Zhan family just use great actors from their own company? If it’s an artist from their own company, they would be able to get back at least 60% of the profit. When added together, it is at least a few million yuan in return.”
Mother Jing realized that there was no way that this conversation would end in the way that she wanted. Therefore, she gave an order to Jing Qian.
“Go back and inform them that you no longer want the role of the first female lead. You will be giving up this chance for Qin Yi and Xiao Lu. since the crew has already agreed with it. I even heard that the official announcement will be made tomorrow. As long as you keep your mouth shut, everything will go as planned. Una will not be fired, and she won’t have to deal with the huge financial compensation.”

Mother Jing’s words instantly triggered Jing Qian.
Since she was almost done with her meal, Jing Qian placed her chopsticks on the table. There was still a smile on her face but the look in her eyes was turning cold.
“Mother, do you think that I’m someone who’s nice to talk to? Is that why you never use your brain while speaking to me?”

Mother Jing couldn’t come up with the right words to say.
As she was being stared down by Jing Qian with that cold look in her eyes, Mother Jing was suddenly at a loss for words.
Seeing that her mother, who was usually a fighter, had suddenly turned into a chicken after the first round, Jing Lu started to cry.
“Big sister, you kept saying that you have already forgiven me, but that’s not true right? Do you know how happy I was when I found out that I got the second female lead? Now that you got married to the Zhan family, as long as you want it, you will receive endless resources. Why do you have to fight with me just for this one role? I have nothing now. I even gave up on Brother Qin, whom I really like. Why are you still trying to trample me?”
As she continued to cry, Jing Lu once again held onto her chest. The pitiful look that Jing Lu had on her face made Jing Qian feel as if she had really done something incredibly evil.
Mother Jing was someone who couldn’t stand to see this happening.
She immediately jumped up like a fighting chicken and shouted at her, “You’re nice to talk to? Look at yourself now! Do you look like someone who’s nice?! Jing Lu is your younger sister, you should…”
“As her elder sister, I should be nice to my younger sister! Since my dearest sister has a congenital heart disease and she may die any minute while I would have even more opportunities in the near future. If it wasn’t because of me, your body wouldn’t have been damaged and my siblings wouldn’t have to face problems like these. All these problems are all happening just because of me. Therefore, it is my responsibility to help the two of them. I am the eldest in the family and as long as it is something that they want, I should give it to them!”
“It’s good that you still remember these!”
“I already gave her everything. As long as it was something that belonged to me and Jing Lu liked it, I would give it to her. From toys, dolls, and bicycles when we were younger, to glories, achievements, and even my boyfriend. I have given her everything.
“You said that she wasn’t as beautiful as me and she may not be able to develop well in the entertainment industry, which was why I even gave her the music that I composed. She…”
“SHUT UP!”
