Yan Molun smiled. He pulled out an exquisite cigarette calmly. Hu Zhi went over to help him light it. He Inhaled slowly before saying, “Your son came knocking to make trouble with us. Besides, we didn’t abduct him. Isn’t your son lying right in front of you? He’s just unconscious.”
“If you didn’t leak my son’s workplace, things wouldn’t have gotten so out of hand that he couldn’t go to work and he wouldn’t have gone to look for Jiang Duoyao.” Kang Jin was a man of the business world. He suppressed his anger and said meaningfully, “Young man, never be too extreme when doing things. It’s always better to leave a way out for yourself. You’re still young, after all. It’s not good to be too young and vigorous.”
Li Shaobin was initially watching the show excitedly at the side, eating his youtiao while watching the drama unfold, but upon hearing Kang Jin say that, he raised his head and said with his mouth full, “Old man, are you trying to lecture us?”
Yan Molun spat out a smoke ring with a smile, looking calm. Li Shaobin suddenly threw the youtiao at Kang Jin’s face. “F*ck, other than my dad and my brother who have lectured me, no one else dares to lecture me. What are you?”
Kang Jin didn’t expect this person who was eating youtiao to suddenly act up. He couldn’t manage to dodge in time so the half-eaten youtiao smacked right onto his face. His expression changed. The bodyguards he brought immediately stood in front of him nervously to protect him.
“I told you to bring your men to Li Hall and you really dare to start a fight in my territory?” Li Shaobin put his hands on his waist and laughed coldly. “Kang Jin, I think you must be tired of living. Just because your business has grown bigger, you’re starting to get lawless. Hu Zhi, call a few men over and show them what we’re made of.”
Hu Zhi snapped his fingers and the empty hall was suddenly filled with men holding sticks and poles.
Kang Jin’s legs went to jelly. It wasn’t like he didn’t have any way of dealing with Li Shaobin, but if something untoward were to happen to Li Shaobin, the Li Family definitely wouldn’t let the Kang Family have it easy. He couldn’t afford to take this risk. He said in a hurry, “We can talk things out. Aren’t we just terminating the contract of a little celebrity? So be it. We can terminate it at any time. There is no need to get violent.”
Yan Molun raised his hand and gave Li Shaobin a look before he said to Kang Jin lazily, “CEO Kang, you should’ve said something so important earlier. Where are the contract termination papers?”
Kang Anhe glanced worriedly at Kang Anhe who was lying on the ground. “I need to ascertain the safety of my son first.”
“Please do.” Yan Molun shrugged.
Kang Jin bent down to check Kang Anhe’s breathing. He touched Kang Anhe’s body and called out to him a few times. “Anhe, Anhe…”
Kang Anhe opened his eyes with a splitting headache. When he saw Kang Jin, he sat up nervously and grabbed Kang Jin’s hand. “Dad, Jiang Duoyao, that little b*tch actually knocked me out. My head hurts. You must help me teach them a lesson…”
Before Kang Anhe could finish his sentence, Kang Jin gave him a tight slap. Kang Anhe was stunned. Suddenly, he realized he was in a foreign place. He looked around, and when he saw the men from both sides and Yan Molun and Li Shaobin, who were sitting on chairs with flower carvings, he shuddered from fright. “Dad, this…”
Li Shaobin clicked his tongue and said, “CEO Kang, I heard your son just came back from abroad. The nouveau riche living abroad should’ve long learned how to keep a low-profile. Why is he being so high-profile after coming back? Hooking up with female celebrities just because of his status—was Jiang Duoyao someone he could hook up with just because he wanted to? If he failed, it just means he’s not capable. He should’ve just gone back home and read up on dating basics, right? Why did he have to do her in? Would he be happy if she couldn’t continue working in the entertainment industry? Also, you, Kang Jin. You were just lecturing us about being young and vigorous, to not do things to the extreme, but what about you? You’re already so old. Do you really think the Kang Family owns the entertainment industry? That you can do whatever you want? Why don’t you take a good look at yourself in the mirror? There are numerous entertainment companies nowadays. If you’re not careful, they can overtake you at any time. Although I don’t really know much about this, I think you know better than me how many entertainment companies who used to dominate the entertainment industry can fall just like that.”
Kang Jin’s ashen face became embarrassed. He never would’ve expected himself to get lectured from a young man in his twenties.
“Who are you? Who are you to meddle in our Kang Family’s affairs?” Kang Anhe rolled his sleeves up angrily and dashed over. He only managed to take a few steps before being pulled back by Kang Jin’s people. “Dad…”
“Why are you pulling him back?” Li Shaobin said with annoyance. “If you didn’t pull him back, I could’ve taught him a good lesson on who I am and how he should greet me the next time he sees me on your behalf.”
“My son is ignorant,” Kang Jin said hoarsely. “I’ll bring you the termination papers.”
He handed the documents over. Yan Molun took them and glanced at them before tearing them apart. “I thought you would be wise and the termination papers would be satisfactory. Indeed, we should still do things according to how we arranged them. This isn’t a breach in contract. Also, Jiang Duoyao doesn’t need to compensate you for the breach in contract. At the same time, we have to settle the sum that you owe her for this period of time clearly.”
As he said that, he threw the torn papers on the floor. Very quickly, someone went over to pass Kang Jin a new set of contracts. He looked for around two minutes and his face turned ugly. “We made Jiang Duoyao popular, after all. She wouldn’t have gotten to where she is today if not for us…”
“At the same time, you also intended to destroy her,” Yan Molun said lightly. “You’ve already given up on her and decided to nurture other artistes. You don’t have to tell me all this right now. It makes me feel sick. I hate greedy people like you the most. If you don’t sign this, don’t even think about bringing him home today. Cut out all the nonsense.”
Li Shaobin waved his hands with annoyance. “Hurry, hurry. This is all your fault for causing me to not finish my youtiao. I haven’t had a full breakfast. I still want to have some Chinese food.”
The corners of Kang Jin’s mouth twitched. He struggled for a while before taking the pen. Kang Anhe watched in disbelief. “Dad…”
Kang Jin didn’t say a word. He closed his eyes and signed the papers, even sealing it.
“That should be the way.” Li Shaobin stood up with a grin and stretched.
Yan Molun crossed his legs the other way and said expressionlessly, “You can leave now. But don’t let me catch you playing tricks behind my back. Otherwise, you’ll have to bear the consequences. Right, I forgot to tell you that I was also the one who resolved Zhu Fenglei’s incident for Duoyao too. I’m her boyfriend. Next time, if you want to deal with a person, check their background first.”
The moment Kang Anhe heard that, he was so angry he wanted to scold Yan Molun again, but Kang Jin whacked him straight away and got the bodyguards to take Kang Anhe away. “Alright. In the future, the Kang Corporation will have nothing to do with Jiang Duoyao and we won’t have any dealings with her.”
Yan Molun nodded slightly and watched Kang Jin and his son leave. After that, Li Shaobin said unhappily, “I just don’t like the looks of Kang Jin.”
“I’m not even unhappy, so what are you unhappy for?” Yan Molun stood up with the papers in his hands. “Since I’ve achieved my motive, there’s no need to go too far. Let’s go grab some lunch.”
Li Shaobin was shocked. “You’re not going to look for your little Duoyao?”
“After lunch,” Yan Molun said with a frown.
———————-
Duoyao was eating and drinking well at Yan Changqing’s house. She didn’t think that a pregnant woman would have so many fruits and snacks at home. Besides, all the snacks were healthy and expensive. She was bloated from all the eating, and in the afternoon, Auntie Zhang even made a table full of sumptuous food.
Duoyao yawned after eating her fill. “I suddenly feel like staying at your house. There’s so much food.”
“It was all sent by Song Chuyi’s grandma and father,” Changqing said. “There’s still plenty. If you still want to eat, you can take them with you. I can’t finish it all anyway.”
Duoyao was shocked. “Didn’t you say Song Chuyi already cut off all contact from them?”
“He did. But after his grandma saw me last time, Song Huaisheng came over to our house a few days later, but my dad wouldn’t allow him into the house. After that, his grandma came over the day after. We couldn’t bear to let an old lady stand outside, so she’s been coming over lately. Every time she comes, she brings a bunch of food and tonics. She said these are all good stuff from overseas,” Changqing said helplessly. “I really wanted to throw it away, but in front of all this expensive and delicious food, I couldn’t bear to throw it away as a glutton.”
“You’re so useless,” Duoyao said as she took a nut. They were indeed delicious. “You betrayed your pride for this food.”
Changqing shook her head in disagreement and said delightedly, “I’ve thought about it. There’s no need to pit yourself against food. I can still ignore them after accepting all this. Actually, I know they’re doing this because I’m pregnant with the Song family’s child. The Song family places great importance on their lineage. Anyway, they’re wary of me right now. In the future, I can let them have a look at Yan Wo if I’m happy and if I’m not, there’d be no use even if they begged me.”
Duoyao clicked her tongue and shook her head. “You’re such a b*tch.”
Changqing grinned. “I’m happy being a b*tch.”
Just then, the phone at the side sounded with a notification. The latest, hottest news on Weibo popped out: Kang Corporation has Officially Terminated the Contract with Jiang Duoyao Peacefully. Both Parties Ended their Five-Year Working Ties.
Duoyao stared wide-eyed. Changqing moved over to take a look. “Wow, Brother Molun is too impressive. He settled this in minutes. I thought it would be a long-standing war.”
Duoyao was happy for a short period of time, but after that, she had mixed emotions. Yan Molun’s abilities were definitely off the charts but his danger level was also off the charts.
