Chapter 499 Generosity?

Cao Yujin didn't want to trust her intuition. But the scene earlier of the three having so much fun and enjoying their time like the perfect picture of a family became an eyesore to her.

She had always viewed herself as Song Yu Han's wife ever since she laid her eyes on him. Although Song Yu Han's mother was not the first wife and an official one, turning him into a child out of wedlock, he was still the young master who had been under the tutelage of the Old Patriarch Song. This means a lot to several people.

Old Patriarch Song particularly didn't like being dragged into a mess that he didn't want to solve. His son's messy romantic affairs were even more so. However, it became a great surprise when Old Patriarch Song not only acknowledged Song Yu Han's identity and registered him into the Song family's family registry, but he also brought him to countless important gatherings.

It would have been nothing if other children from the Song family received the same treatment, but Song Yu Han only was the child who got to stand close to him.

Thus, a lot of people were confused. Was Old Patriarch Song planning to skip one generation and give his wealth and the position of CEO of the Song Corporation to Song Yu Han?

They had a lot of speculations and suspicions regarding how precious Song Yu Han was towards the Old Patriarch Song. But they can only think inwardly and not outwardly say this to the people involved.

But all of their curiosity and suspicions were directly trampled on when Song Yu Han, who they doubted could stand on his feet and become an outstanding man, actually excelled to the sky. He was definitely a talent that could only be seen in a hundred years.

"You're right," said Cao Yujin. "Han gege isn't someone who can be tempted by something like this. I must have been seeing things because I miss him a lot."

Needless to say, her words were not only used to comfort herself, but also to warn this friend to not bark her mouth to the wrong tree and spread the things they saw earlier to anyone else.

Cao Yujin's friend paled and forced down the mockery that flashed past her eyes. Obviously, a lot of their circle knew that Cao Yujin had been chasing after Song Yu Han. They didn't know whether the latter shared the same feelings as her because they couldn't meet him easily. However, the Cao and the Song families have been quite close these past several years.

With Cao Yujin's arrival in the country, people speculated that the engagement between them will soon be official.

But who knew that she would have seen such a thing as soon as she followed Cao Yujin at the mall?

In the car.

Ran Xueyi checked the time. Later, she would be going to Chestnut to deal with some things. She had been away for so long and didn't want to depend on Elder Wu Qi to manage her company. She should at least show her face at the company from time to time in case there were some trouble.

As soon as Song Yu Han heard her plans, he detoured and drove towards Chestnut Entertainment. It took them nearly half an hour to arrive there.

The building stood tall and the exterior design was magnificent. This was  Little Zhanzhan's first time in his mother's company so he was in awe for a while. However, he soon recovered as he didn't forget to cling to his mother as they made their way to the top floor.

Elder Wu Qi had long waited for them. He announced that minor employees should stay in their office and departments. The major office staff should go with him to the lobby and line up to welcome the president.

Actually, Chestnut's president's identity was not revealed to many. Only a few office staff who were close to Elder Wu Qi had met Ran Xueyi. At first, they were surprised, but it was not rare for an actress or artist to own their own agency. It was just that Ran Xueyi hid it so well that almost nobody knew about it.

"Welcome President Ran!"

When the automatic door slid open and three figures strode in, the people inside the lobby simultaneously greeted them. They were all greeting Ran Xueyi, the president of Chestnut.

Ran Xueyi didn't expect the grand welcome. She glanced at Elder Wu Qi for a brief second before understanding his intention. He was obviously making arrangements to reveal her identity to everyone now.

Although Ran Xueyi thought this was unnecessary and too dramatic, since it was already there, there was no need for her to say anymore. Besides, she thought that this arrangement was just right.

Zhao Fei and Feng Huai's wrongdoings were laid bare to everyone. They heard that they did something wrong to the company's artists that led them to be fired. But the two held a strong foundation in the company and were close to a lot of people. Added to the fact that they were rumored to be very close to the company owner, the shock everyone received when they heard them being fired and sued were tremendous.

Was Elder Wu Qi crazy? With the two's backing, was he not afraid that he'd be fired by the big boss?

But now, they understood.

Ran Xueyi was the owner and president of the company. From what they heard, Ran Xueyi was one of the artists Feng Huai and Zhao Fei offended. It was no longer a wonder why they would be cut off.

They offended the big boss. It was only natural for them to be punished for their wrongdoings.

The people in the lobby couldn't help but stare at Ran Xueyi with admiration as well as fear, their hearts swore to never offend her.

Ran Xueyi did not know what was going on in their mind as she passed by the line of people and headed to the special elevator with the others.

They arrived quickly to her office and she put Little Zhanzhan on the floor. The little boy knew that his mother had something important to do so he didn't make a lot of fuss as he looked around his mother's office.

On the side, Ran Xueyi, Song Yu Han, and Elder Wu Qi had taken their seats. At first, the three exchanged pleasantries first before moving to a serious topic. Song Yu Han did not own Chestnut thus, he didn't get himself involved and watched his wife work. He only said a few lines before treating himself to a bystander.

Their discussion went smoothly and the company matters that need to be urgently discussed were done. Next, Elder Wu Qi talked about what happened with Feng Huai and Zhao Fei.

Because Ran Xueyi went to the filming site as soon as she finished setting traps for both Zhao Fei and Feng Huai, she didn't get to see the outcome of this battle.

Elder Wu Qi took it upon himself to tell them.

As it turns out, Zhao Fei exerted a lot of effort and money to take Feng Huai out of prison. Feng Huai's brother-in-law and sister did not receive her help since they weren't close. This drove a discord between the two sides.

In the end, Zhao Fei almost expend all her money in her bank account to bail both Feng Huai and his brother-in-law. Despite being freed temporarily, the lawsuit that struck them didn't vanish. The four could only look for an excellent lawyer to give them a lower sentence as the evidence that was handed to the court was too strong for them to refute.

Feng Huai and Gong Sun were willing to settle for as long as they didn't have to rot in prison. So, they didn't skimp out on picking a lawyer who can give them a satisfying result. However, the price to hire this lawyer was a little bit too high.

In addition, Gong Sun still has to pay Dauntless 100 million. Currently, they still haven't spent the 45 million they have. But that was not enough. So, they could only turn to Zhao Fei, who earned a lot over the past years she worked in the entertainment industry.

In the end, Zhao Fei sold off her apartments and cars. Gong Sun wanted to sell his house, but his wife stopped him. Feng Huai sold his car too. Everyone pitched in to get money and save themselves from total ruin.

When she heard this, Ran Xueyi was greatly surprised and asked, "I didn't think that Zhao Fei would go as far as sell her house. If I remember correctly, she received it from her ex-husband when they divorced."

Elder Wu Qi also knew this and sighed, "It is quite strange. For someone to sacrifice a lot to save someone that is not their blood-related family or even their spouse, I am still in awe of her generosity."

Suddenly, an idea emerged in her mind. Ran Xueyi didn't think it was possible.

Generosity?

Ran Xueyi sneered.

Zhao Fei's actions might appear generous and selfless in other people's eyes. But now that Ran Xueyi understood her intentions, she couldn't help but think that Zhao Fei was really stupid.
