Chapter 635 Falling Deeper (2)

Han Yize stared at Huo Yuxin in disbelief. His hold on her wrist loosening, which she took advantage of at once and freed herself.

"Don't look for me anymore and focus on Ye Mingyu. I really don't want to have anything to do with you now, so let's end it all here." She continued.

"No." Han Yize shook his head. "Did you return just to mess with my life and leave me again?"

"You are wrong." Huo Yuxin glowered at him. "I came back because I have had enough of running away. I have had enough pretending that I'm okay when I'm not. My life doesn't revolve around you and I want to start a new one without you in it. So please, stop this nonsense already and don't drag me into your family affairs." She said before turning, leaving Han Yize on his own.

She also didn't mention the fact that Han Yize's had too much blood on his hands. He'd kill people out of whim and never regretted it. Huo Yuxin didn't want to be involved in any of his wrongdoings, because she knew Han Yize wouldn't be able to avoid retribution soon.

Han Yize stood there for a long moment, as if he couldn't believe that Huo Yuxin would easily leave him like this. Her words continued to ring in his mind as he left the apartment building, realizing what could have truly happened in the past.

When he arrived at his parents home, he found Ye Mingyu laughing at something his mother just said. The two women ceased their conversation when they noticed their arrival.

"Yize, you're finally home. I thought I would need to call you again and drag you here myself." His mother said.

However, Han Yize stood still as if he didn't hear what his mother had just said. Huo Yuxin's words earlier were starting to sink in his mind. Seeing his mother, he then knew the reason why Huo Yuxin abandoned her.

"What are you doing just standing there?" Ye Mingyu said, playing the role of the filial daughter-in-law easily. "Mother went through all this trouble just to cook for us."

His eyes then turned to Ye Mingyu and his hate for this woman rose to another level. Han Yize wanted nothing but to strangle her to death and throw her remains somewhere no one would be able to find her remains.

He believed that she was the very reason Huo Yuxin didn't want to get back with him, not realizing that even if Huo Yuxin still had any remaining affections for him, she wouldn't be able to turn a blind eye on his misdeeds.

"En. She has already signed the contract, although I told her to wait until both of you came to a decision." Her manager sighed.

Su Xiaofei rubbed the space between her brows, remembering how eagerly Bai Qingyu showed up at her office that morning, demanding the contract for her to sign. She was starting to think that her mother's peculiar actions was what made Mo Yuchen agree to release her from the Golden Star.

Xiao Rufeng inwardly smiled. Su Xiaofei was pretending that she didn't care about her birth mother, but she could see that the queen was starting to grow on her.

"Then there's no reason for us to stall the film. Since you already found a director, then what else are we waiting for?"

"I have something to tell you before you sign that contract." Su Xiaofei said with all seriousness, immediately getting both women's attention.

"The producer of this film won't be Bluemedia alone. A-Feng and Yan Xiuchen both decided to inject funds into this film." Su Xiaofei then glanced at Lu Jinglin. "He didn't want you to worry about the production cost and he wanted to make sure that your father won't dare to undermine you again, if this film was to be successful."

Lu Jinglin lowered her gaze and fidgetted in her seat. She knew how important this project was for her, but she was scared to face yet another failure. How many times did she end up disappointed in the end? No matter how much work she puts in, she always finds herself lacking and failing in so many ways.

If the film failed, not only would lose face in front of Lu Qingfeng and his wife, but this would be yet another heartache she would have to endure for a long time. Her father would also use it against her and remind her that her value was limited as a bargaining chip for an arranged marriage she never wanted to partake in.

"My debt to him is piling up." She muttered guiltily, but was loud enough for Su Xiaofei to hear.

"I don't think that he sees it as a debt. It's more like he's investing in you, Sister Lin. A-Feng did that because he believes that you have potential. Same to you, Rufeng." Su Xiaofei told her friend. "Yan Xiuchen only wants to spoil you. He said that since you wouldn't accept any expensive gifts from him, he might as well help you produce a film you could be proud of. I don't think both of you would want to disappoint them."

"If you put it that way, how can I not agree?" Xiao Rufeng smiled, before signing the contract in front of her. Zhang Ling then took it from her and the three of them waited for Lu Jinglin's turn.

Lu Jinglin shut her eyes and mustered all the courage she had before finally signing the contract. Although Su Xiaofei and the director approved of her work, she needed to rework some parts to improve it. It wasn't the failure that held her back anyway, it was her fear of failure that kept her from moving forward. She knew this, yet it wasn't easy to free herself from it.
