Chapter 153 I was born rich

After finishing, Zhan Xu hugged her even tighter, as if punishing her for acting on her own initiative.

"I have the leverage over you too! Humph!" Shi Wan said arrogantly.

Zhan Xu was whispering in her ears, being very affectionate, as if Shi Wan was his beloved treasure that he could not let go.

Shi Wan felt waves of numbness, soreness, and heart-wrenching pain in his heart.

She wanted to question him, to ask why he had arranged a way out for her. She also wanted to tell him that she only had less than two years left, and he really didn't need to do anything stupid for her.

But she just couldn't say it, especially when their feelings were so strong.

The two slept until the afternoon, when Shi Wan's phone rang.

Zhan Xu saw that the caller was Director Li and handed the phone to Shi Wan.

When Shi Wan saw the name and glanced at the sky, she sat up abruptly. She had forgotten that she had an appointment with Director Li for today!

She quickly got up, answered the phone, and said while getting dressed, "Sorry, I overslept, I'll be there soon!"

Director Li said cheerfully, "It's okay, take your time. Director Liu's drama has been postponed for other reasons. I... forget it, let's talk about it when you come!"

Shi Wan was stunned for a moment: "Okay."

Zhan Xu also sat up and held her in his arms. After she hung up the phone, he whispered in her ear: "No matter how urgent it is, you should take a shower, right?"

His voice was lazy and drawling.

Shi Wan felt weak all over, and her ears felt hot when she realized why she had to take a shower.

Ni Ni and Wai Wai finished their bath and they both changed their clothes.

Shi Wan put on some simple makeup before going out.

Zhan Xu was driving the car while Shi Wan was drowsy in the passenger seat.

Zhan Xu would take time out from time to time to look at her tired face, and he did not hide the pain in his eyes.

Shi Wan closed his eyes and suddenly spoke lazily: "Compared to the feeling now, I can't accept not having you around, so don't hide."

Zhan Xu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with helplessness in his eyes, but said nothing.

In fact, what Shi Wan wanted to say was, so don't die. But she didn't dare to let Zhan Xu know. She also knew that if one of them died, the other would not only not suffer from the heart-wrenching pain, but also live like a normal person.

When we arrived at the private club, Director Li and Director Liu were already waiting there.

When the two saw Zhan Xu coming, they quickly stood up and greeted him with smiles. After all, he was Director Li's financial sponsor and might be Director Liu's next financial sponsor. How could they not welcome him?

Zhan Xu sat in the main seat again, and Shi Wan sat next to him.

Director Liu explained the purpose of organizing the event: "I would like to invite you to play the leading female role in my play. Here is the script. See if you are interested."

Director Liu handed the script to Shi Wan.

Shi Wan took the script and started reading it. She was familiar with Director Liu's drama, but when she heard that the male lead was Pei Mo, she lost all interest. That was why she wanted to star in Director Li's "The Legend of Chifeng".

She understood Pei Mo's style. It could take any minute for the house to collapse, so there was no need to waste time and energy. Even if it was a large-scale, well-made production, Shi Wan was not willing to take the risk.

Zhan Xu asked: "When will the filming start?"

Director Liu replied: "Now the cast has changed a lot, and the venue has to be rented again. It is expected to take at least two months."

Zhan Xu nodded thoughtfully: "Time is fine."

When Director Liu saw Zhan Xu express his opinion, there was surprise in his eyes. Could it be that Zhan Xu was still willing to invest?

Shi Wan took a quick look at the script and the crew, and thought it was a play worth performing.

Shi Wan agreed.

Director Li saw that the deal was done and said, "Shi Wan, before we start filming, I wonder if you have time to help out on a variety show. Director Sun asked me to ask you, and he also said that if you can be on the show, he will do some promotion for us for free later on."

Shi Wan thought about it and knew which variety show it was. It was a combination of wilderness survival and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. It had been recruiting people recently and was very popular.

However, in order to embody reality and authenticity, this variety show is broadcast live, so many artists who are somewhat self-aware are reluctant to participate. After all, no one is perfect, and it would be a loss if their image collapses in front of the live camera.

Shi Wan is also very self-aware. Although she has not established any personality, she is very lazy and does not want to pretend for the sake of popularity in live broadcasts. Moreover, she has been really tired recently and wants to sleep all the time.

If she appears in this state in front of the camera, she will definitely be scolded by fans.

Shi Wan said in embarrassment: "I'm really not suitable for variety shows. I finally have some fans. I'm afraid that I will lose a lot of fans after I go on the show."

Director Li and Director Liu laughed. Shi Wan's answer was quite truthful.

Director Li didn't say much: "I'm just asking for your help. I also want you to be more popular. But actors should focus on their acting skills, so I'll help you push it!"

"Thank you!" Shi Wan nodded.

After the meal, Zhan Xu drove home with Shi Wan.

On the way, Zhan Xu said, "You can take a break for two months."

"I see. I don't know who doesn't let me rest." Shi Wan said lazily with his eyes closed.

Zhan Xu curled his lips and said, "You don't even know how big your own business is, how do you know who you can show off to?"

Shi Wan smiled: "Then just tell me directly! Who can I show off in front of now?"

Zhan Xu paused.

Shi Wan opened her eyes and turned to look at him.

Zhan Xu sighed helplessly.

Shi Wan also sighed: "Forget it, you're talking as if I'm a troublemaker. When have I ever really gotten into trouble?"

Zhan Xu pursed his lips, "Not yet."

"Ok?"

“You can walk sideways.”

Shi Wan blinked and was stunned for a long time before she understood what Zhan Xu meant. Did he mean that she could show off in front of anyone?

"Including Jin Tiantian?!" The first person Shi Wan thought of was Jin Tiantian.

Although the Jin family is not the head of the three major families, the Jin family’s principle of doing things is that no one is allowed to disobey them. If anyone goes against their wishes, then just wait to be exterminated!

"Yes. That also includes Country A," Zhan Xu added.

Shi Wan looked aggrieved: "Why did you hide it from me? Do you know how aggrieved I am?!"

She suddenly raised her voice, and the aggrieved tone disappeared, leaving only a fighting posture.

Zhan Xu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and took the time to glance at her, with a look of doting in his eyes.

"My focus was on Country A before. The situation there is complicated. I wanted to wait until everything was settled before telling you. After you returned, I started to transfer my business back to China. I have no power and no support from the Zhan family, and I have no reason to deal with the Jin family. It would be unreasonable to start a war just because of your minor quarrel. So there is no need to tell you."

Shi Wan was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhan Xu's serious profile.

His reason seemed to be true, but didn't he want to develop quietly, and then die after giving it all to her?

"Didn't you tell me? Why are you telling me again?" Shi Wan asked blankly.

What does that mean? Is he going to hand over his inheritance to her now? Is he going to die soon?

Her heart can still take it!

"Since I can't hide it anymore, there's no need to hide it from you." Zhan Xu said casually.

"Who else do you want to hide this from? You're just hiding it from me. Are you afraid that I'll fall for your money?"

Zhan Xu laughed: "I was born rich, how can I hide it?"
