Chapter 97: I’m Here to Dissolve the Termination

Bai Ruirui was standing at the head of the bed with a basin filled with ice water behind her. She was small to begin with, so she tiptoed to apply ice water on her mother’s face. Now that she was hit, she lost her balance. If Xu Hu hadn’t quickly reached out to help her, Bai Ruirui would have fallen into the basin.

Bai Ruirui did not say anything when her mother suddenly pushed her. She only turned around and thanked Xu Hu softly. From the sound of it, she was afraid of disturbing Chen Xiaomei. Xu Hu was also furious. He planned to talk to Chen Xiaomei about the ‘recording’ after she finished her call.

Chen Xiaomei was still shouting into the phone, “Are they crazy? I’m not the one who wants to terminate the contract. Why should I compensate? And so much? Just because I recorded a variety show? Are they crazy? I’m the one who was beaten up. I’m the victim. What do you mean by ‘there’s something wrong with my image’?”

The woman’s voice became sharper and more ear-piercing. Xu Hu didn’t want to be ravaged in the room, so he turned around and left. He was annoyed by Chen Xiaomei now, so there was really no need to persuade her anymore.

When he walked out of the courtyard, he could clearly hear Chen Xiaomei’s roar. “I’m not compensating. I don’t have money! Why don’t they go find Bai Xunan! Isn’t that scumbag going to divorce me? I agreed to the divorce, and Bai Xunan has money! What do you mean by the contract they signed with me can only be compensated by me? I haven’t divorced Bai Xunan yet! The money is in Bai Xunan’s account! Does he think he has no money just because he says so? Why don’t you believe me when I say I don’t have the money? Moreover, where has the money I’ve earned all these years gone? He said that he doesn’t have money? Did he give the money to that b*tch and her daughter?”

Xu Hu frowned. He stood up and held Bai Ruirui’s hand as they walked forward. They were a little further from the courtyard, so he really didn’t want to listen to Chen Xiaomei’s shouts. However, when he lowered his head, he saw Bai Ruirui crying silently.

Chen Xiaomei was indeed despicable, but Bai Ruirui was really a very obedient child. She got along well with the other children and was not naughty at all. She was polite and cute.

Xu Hu couldn’t bear it and squatted down to wipe her tears. “Don’t cry, good child.”

Knowing that there were no cameramen around, Bai Ruirui could not help but cry. “Uncle Director, does my father really not want me and Mommy anymore?”

Hearing the little girl’s tender voice, it made one sigh and feel sorry for her. Xu Hu helplessly wiped Bai Ruirui’s tears. “Uncle doesn’t know either.”

“If Daddy doesn’t want Mommy and me anymore, what will Mommy and I do… ?” Bai Ruirui could feel her mother’s mood change these few days. She had even become a tool for her mother to vent her anger. As long as her skin was not exposed, it would be pinched until it was bruised.

Xu Hu was not married, had no children, and had no girlfriend. He really did not know how to comfort her, especially when facing such a child. He could only remain silent.

After a while, Chen Xiaomei came out after making the call. Seeing that Bai Ruirui was crying sadly, she hurriedly ran over and apologized to Xu Hu while telling Bai Ruirui not to cry. “I’m really sorry. My child loves to cry. I’ve caused you trouble.”

When Xu Hu entered the room just now, Chen Xiaomei’s attitude was not good, but now, her expression suddenly changed, and even her words were pleasant to the ears. Thinking back to what she had said to her assistant just now, he could roughly guess the reason for her change in attitude. She was afraid that the variety show would ask her to compensate her, and even wanted to clear her name on the variety show to salvage her image.

However, even the Movie Queen, Zhang Nan, did not show any temper to him. What right did Chen Xiaomei have to throw tantrums? Previously, he could not be bothered to argue with her and filmed the show in peace. He had also thought of terminating the contract with Chen Xiaomei and even wanted to hold her accountable. After all, the contract was set. When the guests took the money, they had to prioritize the recording of the show. During the recording of the show, there must not be a scandal that would affect the entire production team’s image. This was the most basic contract spirit. If you did not abide by it, you could only lose money.

With Chen Xiaomei’s actions over the past two days, it was only a matter of words for him to make her lose money and leave the production team.

“Why are you here all of a sudden? Are you going back to film the show? I’ll go back immediately.” Chen Xiaomei smiled guiltily. However, when she saw the director’s serious face, she cursed this dog for looking down on her. She hadn’t done anything yet, but this little director dared to be arrogant in front of her.

Xu Hu shook his head and said, “It’s not a recording. I’m here to talk to you about terminating the contract and letting you leave the recording..”
