Chapter 968: She Doesn’t Even Care about Her Dignity Anymore
“If her backing is really that strong, it doesn’t matter what she does, no one will dare to cut out her scenes again. In the future, even if you work with her again, you won’t be affected,” said the agent, “However, according to the current situation, if Guo Pai can be so decisive and directly go online to block her functions, it means that her backing isn’t that great. Let’s just wait and see.”
“There are a lot of actors now. Even if we film for a few years, we might not meet a former partner,” said the manager.
The second male lead nodded, but he was still unwilling to accept it, so he went to Weibo to look for Yuan Keqing.
Meng Fanzhen failed to contact Guo Pai, so Yuan Keqing could only approach Wei Zhijian.
Although she didn’t say it explicitly, her words implied that all this happened because she had been implicated by Wei Keli.
If it wasn’t for Wei Keli’s actions, why would the Tan family hold a grudge against her?
Because of the Wei family, the Tan family felt that they couldn’t do anything to Wei Keli, so they made an example out of her.
Wei Zhijian had told Yuan Keqing that he had a lot of power in his hands.
Now that Yuan Keqing had said this, if he didn’t help, wouldn’t it mean that what he said earlier was merely boasting?
However, regarding Yuan Keqing’s attitude, hinting that she was implicated by Wei Keli, Wei Zhijian’s face darkened, and he didn’t intend to blindly give in to Yuan Keqing.
If he gave in too much, it really gave Yuan Keqing the illusion that she could be presumptuous.
Wei Zhijian said icily, “Keqing, you don’t have to play this game with me. I still know my own son. There are some things that he can’t do alone. We all know that you were involved in this, and so does the Tan family. In other words, do you think that I can’t guess what the Tan family knows?”
“So, you don’t have to say that Keli implicated you.” Wei Zhijian snorted. “The two of you are about the same.”
Yuan Keqing forgot that Wei Zhijian was not Yuan Zhengwen and Xu Mingjing.
Wei Zhijian knew the truth of the matter.
“It’s my fault.” Yuan Keqing was flexible and quickly apologized, “Uncle, only you can help me with this matter. I can’t even contact Guo Pai. I admit it this time. Since Guo Pai is online with the new function of ‘Don’t look at TA’; it won’t be taken down easily. What I value now is the future collaboration with Guo Pai. I don’t wish for any changes to the previously agreed collaboration.”
“Guo Pai is refusing to take my manager’s call now. It’s very likely that they’re going back on their word. Uncle, only you can help me. Guo Pai will only defer to you.” Yuan Keqing didn’t mind putting Wei Zhijian on a pedestal.
However, she also really felt this way.
Guo Pai couldn’t possibly offend Wei Zhijian over such a small matter.
“Keqing.” Wei Zhijian had something to say, “Look, I invested in “Moon Shines Over the River” for your sake. Of course, this isn’t something that can be done with just money. You also have to have connections. You can’t accept an investment from just anyone, right?”
“I even personally went to talk about a movie contract for you, arranged for you to be on the set of “Moon Shines Over the River”, and personally went to connect with Guo Pai to arrange a movie where you could be the female lead,” Wei Zhijian said. “Keqing, tell me the truth. Is what I did for you enough?”
Yuan Keqing didn’t understand why Wei Zhijian suddenly brought this up.
She said cautiously, “Yes, I’m very grateful to you.”
“You and Keli are fiancé and fiancée, which means that you’re our future daughter-in-law,” Wei Zhijian said. “As your future father-in-law, I did all this for you. It’s enough, and it’s also to show our family’s sincerity.”
“But our family has shown sincerity. It seems that your family hasn’t shown that you value Keli.” Wei Zhijian said, “You haven’t fulfilled your promise to Keli, and yet you’re asking me for help now.”
“Don’t blame Uncle for being too clear. It’s just that it can’t be so one-sided, right?” Wei Zhijian smiled, “By doing this, I’ll mistakenly think that the Yuan family isn’t satisfied with Keli. If that’s the case, then we can make things clear and not waste your youth. Whatever the Yuan family is searching for, go ahead and look for it.”
Yuan Keqing’s expression was stiff, and the corner of her mouth twitched. “Uncle, you mean… you are only willing to help me after our family has invested in Keli, right?”
“Let me be frank. Our two families can be considered to be connected by marriage. What’s the purpose of a marriage? Isn’t it just for mutual benefits and to become stronger?” Wei Zhijian said with a smile, “But now, only I am doing my best for your career, but I don’t see your family doing their best for Keli’s career.”
Yuan Keqing thought to herself, wasn’t it Wei Zhijian who said it himself?
He had plenty of resources on hand, and all of them belonged to Wei Keli.
Why would he need the Yuan family?
Who knew that Wei Zhijian seemed to be able to hear Yuan Keqing’s thoughts, he said, “Although what I have is Keli’s, I can also provide assistance to him. But what I give is different from what the Yuan family gives. In the beginning, it was the Yuan family who suggested that they would support Keli. But up until now, the Yuan family hasn’t shown any sign of support. It’s obviously inappropriate for me to be the only one doing so. Whether it has anything to do with me or not depends on the Yuan family’s sincerity.”
“So, yes, you’re right.” Wei Zhijian said, “I can contact Guo Pai for you and guarantee that Guo Pai will give you resources. But before that, I need to feel the Yuan family’s sincerity.”
“But, Uncle, I can’t wait for this matter,” Yuan Keqing said anxiously, “Since our two families are about to get married, we’re all one family. The Yuan family definitely has no intention of denying it. Can you help me settle this matter first? I’ll immediately contact my dad and ask him to quickly follow up on supporting Keli.”
Wei Zhijian said, “Your matter has already developed to this point. There’s no need to be anxious. You can either sincerely admit your mistake and face the music, or you can remain silent and wait for the matter to pass. In the future, as long as you appear and there’s a slight splash, this dark history will be dug up, but it doesn’t matter. If they dig too much, it won’t affect you.”
“So, there’s no need to be anxious about looking for Guo Pai. We can absolutely give your Yuan family enough time to give Keli the support he needs. I can still approach Guo Pai in time after that.” Wei Zhijian said without any urgency, “I’ll wait for your reply.”
After saying that, Wei Zhijian hung up the phone.
Yuan Keqing gritted her teeth and looked at the phone.
“Wei Zhijian is really shameless,” Yuan Keqing said with a tight jaw.
“What’s wrong? What did he say?” Xu Mingjing asked hurriedly, “Wei Zhijian doesn’t intend to help?”
“No, Wei Zhijian said that he has helped me so much, but hasn’t seen our family invest in Wei Keli,” Yuan Keqing said.
