Drifting towards you - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Swallow the Pain

After roughly reading the script, Su Xiangwan placed it on the coffee table before calmly saying, “Father, I don’t know where you got this script from, but I’ve never seen it before nor signed any contract related to this script.”

As soon as these words came out, Su Zhiguo was stunned. Liu Yuerong was also stunned.

Su Xiangwan took out ‘Yongle Gate’s’ contract and script from her back, she handed them to Su Zhiguo. “This is the script I accepted, it’s clearly written on the contract. I don’t understand why father thought I would play that kind of role.”

Su Zhiguo flipped through the contract with surprise, he was speechless for a while after confirming that the details were indeed correct.

“Yuerong, what in the world is going on?”

Liu Yuerong also didn’t expect this to happen. What in the world was happening? Her sister-in-law had indeed… indeed agreed to accept that role in Su Xiangwan’s place. What’s going on?

How could she accept another role?

Liu Yuerong felt a bit awkward and said quickly, “I’ll give my sister-in-law a call to see what’s going on.”

With that said, Liu Yuerong quickly called her sister-in-law, Wu Peiping.

Upon watching her leave, Su Xiangwan curled her lips. The film company had indeed accepted that role in her place, however, Xue Zhicheng had already settled this for her yesterday morning.

After all, Mu Beiting’s 100 million investment wasn’t a joke. Just taking a few million from it to pay for the penalty fees was extremely easy.

A few minutes later, Liu Yuerong returned with an ugly expression on her face. “Zhiguo, I made a mistake earlier. Peiping said Xingwan indeed didn’t take this role, and with her there, she would have never let Xingwan take this kind of role either.”

“What were you doing? How could you make a mistake for something this big?!” Su Zhiguo was a bit embarrassed and infuriated. After all, he had given Su Xiangwan a huge scolding for no reason at all.

He didn’t expect something like this to end up being a mistake.

Su Xiangwan’s eyes flashed with mockery. “Father, if there’s something wrong in the future, you can just ask me directly. After all, what you hear from other people aren’t really reliable.”

Su Zhiguo’s old face blushed, he remembered yesterday’s incident when Su Yufei tried to twist the truth, he immediately knew that he had to drop this kind of attitude.

Liu Yuerong never expected Su Xiangwan to bite back at her, she felt extremely sullen now. But she still had to keep a smiling face on. “It was my fault, someone wanted Wanwan to take this role, but it was stopped by my sister-in-law, that’s why it didn’t happen.”

Su Xiangwan’s eyes flashed with mockery. This mother and daughter really were experts at twisting the truth, in a blink of an eye, she took all the credit for themselves.

“So it turns out, with the help of Aunt Peiping. It seems that I won’t be bullied in the company anymore. I believe that for Aunt Liu’s sake, Aunt Peiping will never let me take on these kinds of rubbish roles,” Su Xiangwan seized this chance as she spoke out, using this opportunity to irritate Liu Yuerong. That way, the company won’t dare to pressure her with roles in the meantime.

“Don’t you worry about this, Peiping is Feifei’s biological aunt, she’s the same as your aunt. I feel very at ease with Peiping there. If you’re bullied at the company, you must tell dad immediately, and dad will go deal with your aunt and uncle.” Su Zhiguo quickly said, as if trying to save a little face from what happened just now.

“Aunt Liu, is this true?” Su Xiangwan looked at Liu Yuerong and said with a smile.

“Of course… Of course it’s true… don’t you worry, I’ll let Peiping know to help you fight for some better roles.” At this point, Liu Yuerong had to swallow her pain. Not only did she fail to make Su Zhiguo have a bad impression of Su Xiangwan, instead, she even had to pave the way for her in the entertainment industry. She was so mad that her lungs were about to explode.
