Chapter 994: If Only He Had Known

Chapter 994: If Only He Had Known"Of course I would agree." Liang Zixuan was immediately enthusiastic. "You can be the scriptwriter for the series. I cannot wait to see the results later. Oh yes, in addition to the copyright fees, Han Group will also pay you a salary as a screenwriter. I guarantee you that Han Group will not waste your hard work!"        

Jia Qiulian smiled with satisfaction. "Then I have no objections. I agree with this price."    

"Then this is the deal!" Seeing that Jia Qiulian was also a straightforward person, Liang Zixuan immediately said, "Then I'll give you a total of 8 million for the copyright of your second book. Can I?"    

"Yes, I have no objection." Jia Qiulian was a very easy-going and agreeable person.    

If she knew that two of her books could be sold for high royalties, then she would not have worked so hard to earn money abroad in recent years.    

Thinking back to how she sold flowers from early in the morning until late at night to cover her daily living expenses and there were also times when she could not sell her flowers; at night, she would go sell them to passersby on the side of the road. Remembering those days, her life was really miserable.    

But, so what if she had known that before?    

Based on Zhao Kang's level of greed, she might be tricked by him again after she got the money. This was the best ending for her right now.    

Just as Jia Qiulian was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a surprised voice. "What copyright?"    

Jia Qiulian followed the voice and saw that it was Han Xiwang who was asking. She was about to say something but was interrupted by Han Cihui. "Qiulian used to be a writer and had published two books. Both of them were bestsellers. Now she and sister-in-law are discussing the copyrights of the two books. Sister-in-law wants to buy them and turn them into a TV series."    

Han Xiwang could not hide the shock in his heart. Even his eyes widened. "Copyrights can be sold for a very high price? A book can be sold for six million?"    

Another book was sold for eight million?    

Even the salary of the screenwriter was calculated separately!    

"That's for sure!" Han Cihui smiled proudly and pulled Jia Qiulian into his arms. "Even sister-in-law and Qin Yu are fans of her. This price is neither high nor low. Dad, don't be so surprised until you are drooling."    

Han Xiwang unconsciously raised his hand to wipe his mouth, but his hand was very dry. No saliva at all.    

Han Xiwang felt like slapping Han Cihui in the face. He even dared to play with his own father!    

But Han Xiwang held back.    

He slowed down and asked again, "You wrote a book?"    

This time Jia Qiulian said politely, "Yes, I have written two books."    

Han Xiwang looked at her deeply. His expression was uncertain. He quietly turned his face away. From Jia Qiulian's line of sight, she could see that Han Xiwang's expression looked a little regretful.    

But what was he regretting?    

Han Xiwang sighed sadly. If only he had known that Jia Qiulian was so capable, he would not have done it. He would allow her to marry his son without any objection.    

Now that he had offended her, even his wife wanted to divorce him. He was simply trying to steal a chicken, but only to end up losing the rice while trying to lure it.₁    

On the other hand, Zhang Xiuying could see Han Xiwang's regret with one look. She sneered, "What are you regretting now? Do you still think Jia Qiulian is a woman who can't help the Han Family?"    

Han Xiwang's face turned green and red. He bit his lip and said nothing.    

Zhang Xiuying couldn't be bothered to scold him anymore. When the time came, she would not know what he would do.        

Han Xiwang, who was being scolded by Zhang Xiuying, could not say a word at all. His gut was already green with regret, especially when he saw Liang Zixuan and Qin Yu's admiring eyes on Jia Qiulian.    

His heart felt really uncomfortable.

Although the people of the Han Family had different personalities from each other, but in general, the family was still very close and lived in harmony.    

Wei Xiaoqing, who never showed her face during this period of time, led a terrible life.    

This year was the saddest and most depressing year in her life.    

Because of the incident at her wedding, things between her and Fang Yimu came to light. No one in the Hou Family liked her.    

Hou Yingyi didn't come home all day and Yu Meilin wouldn't let her go out. Wei Xiaoqing felt like a little bird trapped in a golden silk cage, living a lonely life.    

Seeing that tomorrow was the beginning of the New Year, Wei Xiaoqing finally couldn't take it anymore and protested to Yu Meilin.    

"Mom! Hou Yingyi hasn't come home for a month and you don't care?    

Yu Meilin sat on the sofa with a cup of coffee in her hand. As if she didn't hear Wei Xiaoqing's words, she sipped her coffee and continued reading the magazine in her hand.    

Wei Xiaoqing angrily walked over and snatched the magazine out of Yu Meilin's hand. Then she angrily threw it on the floor. "I'm talking to you. Can't you hear me?"    

Yu Meilin suddenly raised her head and glared angrily at Wei Xiaoqing. "Wei Xiaoqing, has there ever been a daughter-in-law who spoke to her mother-in-law like this in someone else's family?!"    

Not only did Wei Xiaoqing not repent, but she also felt that she had been wronged and said in a loud voice. "I've been talking to you for half a day and you haven't answered a single sentence! If you want others to respect you, you must first respect others!"    

"With your lousy behavior, do you deserve to be respected by others?" Yu Meilin immediately sneered, her eyes were looking down at Wei Xiaoqing. "Letting you enter my Hou Family's door, my Hou Family has already done our utmost to be kind to you. Wei Xiaoqing, remember your place and stop baring your fangs and claws in front of me!"
