Xia Yangyang mulled over it for a while.

Then she returned to her room, taking the cheque for five million in her hand.

Then she went to Xia Liangdong’s office.

Xia Liangdong was sitting on the sofa, looking lost.

Xia Yangyang approached him and handed over the cheque for five million: “Dad, you better keep this five million for now, I know it’s not of much use, but it’s better to have something than nothing.”

Xia Liangdong looked up: “Yangyang, you…”

“Let’s consider it a loan from Shengyuan Group, later I will find a way to repay this money. As for the rest of the money, I will figure that out. I promised Shen Shichuan to take up an advertisement endorsement. The fee could be close to an eight-digit number. Plus I still have some prior filming fees. As soon as I get the money, I will transfer it to your bank account.”

Xia Liangdong felt a knot in his heart: “Yangyang, you don’t have to do this. I don’t want to drag you down.”

Xia Yangyang’s voice was steady: “Regardless, I can’t ignore our family’s current predicament. I will do what I can do. But unless it’s the last resort, I hope we won’t pin all our hopes on Gu Qichen. After all, he only married me and doesn’t owe our family anything.”

Xia Liangdong sighed: “Don’t worry, no matter what Aunt Liu says, I will never interfere with your happiness. I have let you down over the years. Now that you have finally found someone reliable, I won’t let people belittle you.”

But that was not what Xia Yangyang meant.

In fact, if it comes to the last resort, Xia Yangyang will certainly ask Gu Qichen for help.

Xia Yangyang just hoped that before she ran out of other options, she wouldn’t see the Gu Family as her only lifesaver.

As Xia Yangyang exited the study, she was immediately intercepted by Xia Weiwei at the door of her room.

“Xia Yangyang, you’re so vile. The money was originally lent by me. Not only did you take it back, but you also made a good deed out of giving it to dad.”

Xia Yangyang looked at her coldly: “If you heard the conversation I had with dad in the study, then you must know that I plan to repay this money. If you’re looking for credit, it’s easy, write a promissory note for five million yuan, and I’ll take it to Gu Qichen. In the future, you can pay back the five million yuan.”

Xia Weiwei despised Xia Yangyang: “I simply can’t stand your hypocritical face. Gu Qichen is your husband and his money is essentially your money. It’s absurd to think you’d pay back the five million. I won’t be fooled into taking on a debt of five million yuan.”

“If you know that his money is my money, then what does my money have to do with you.”

Xia Weiwei fumed, “Xia Yangyang, don’t be smug. I’m watching to see how long you can keep this up. Everything you have now will eventually be mine! Just you wait!”

Xia Yangyang didn’t even bother arguing.

She and Xia Weiwei could never see eye to eye.

Xia Yangyang entered her room directly, closed the door, and locked it.

Xia Weiwei was so infuriated that she started banging on the door.

The following days, Xia Yangyang was still incredibly busy.

Yesterday, she arrived in Sea City by plane.

The prestigious SH Film Festival was to be held in Sea City.

Her betting agreement of “Best Actress” with Shen Manbing had gone viral on the internet.

It had already stirred up a storm.

At this point, almost everyone thought Xia Yangyang was overconfident and digging her own grave.

Of course, there were some who commended her for her bravery to challenge the reigning queen.

But more people expressed regret for her future, as a rising star in the entertainment industry was going to fall so easily.

The day before the grand event, Xia Yangyang planned to walk the red carpet with Chen Yu.

Chen Yu arrived an hour before the start of the red carpet.

These days, he had been shooting advertisements abroad.

Xia Yangyang rarely saw him.

Upon seeing her, he started scolding: “What the hell were you thinking making that bet with Shen Manbing? She has earned her title as a superstar. You stand no chance of winning. Why would you do something so foolish?”

Xia Yangyang replied with a smirk: “It was a moment of impulse. But what if I got incredibly lucky?”

“Even if you stepped in a ton of dog poop every day, you wouldn’t have that kind of luck.” Chen Yu was utterly irritated.
