"You're not qualified to eat idle meals yet," Qin Lihui said disdainfully to his own son, "The Qin family owns an investment company. You can go work there from nine to five. I've already picked out the position for you, the director of the marketing department. You can report there starting tomorrow."
"Dad, you know I don't like this kind of regimented work," Qin Jiang said unpleasantly.
He has to get married early and start living like an old man now?!
"Whether you like it or not is your business. I'm telling you to do it so do it!" Qin Lihui didn't give his son any face at all.
Qin Jiang was about to have a breakdown.
"Keep talking," Qin Lihui paid no attention to Qin Jiang's emotions and said, "Third, you have to be home by 6 PM every day. Of course, under special circumstances we can discuss it on a case by case basis. If you have a valid reason, you can come home later after reporting it in advance. But if you don't report it and don't get permission, once you come home late, you'll face the family law."
Qin Jiang was very unhappy but didn't dare talk back.
"Fourth, Qin Jiang, don't have any improper relationships with other women from now on. If I find out, I really will break your legs!" Qin Lihui looked very serious.
Qin Jiang felt that if he messed around in the future, his dad really would break his legs.
"That's all for now," Qin Lihui said, "I'll add more if I think of anything."
He's still thinking.
Still thinking, he really wants to suffocate him to death, doesn't he?!
"Oh right," Qin Lihui immediately thought of something else and said to Bai Xiaotu, "You're an actress, right?"
"Yes," Bai Xiaotu hurriedly nodded.
"Cancel all your work by the end of today and terminate your contract with your agency. Just tell me a number for how much money you need. I'll take care of it," said Qin Lihui.
"Oh," Bai Xiaotu had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.
"Now Qin Jiang, go with Little Bunny to get her luggage and take care of her work matters," Qin Lihui said. "I have some private matters to discuss with the Young Master."
Qin Jiang got up from the floor.
Bai Xiaotu also hurriedly stood up from the chair.
The two of them left the hall together and walked out of the Qin family compound.
In the car.
Qin Jiang's suppressed emotions erupted all at once.
He let out a loud yell.
He really felt like he was about to suffocate.
Bai Xiaotu watched Qin Jiang have a breakdown but didn't dare provoke him, just kept silent without daring to speak.
After Qin Jiang vented by himself for a while, he seemed to calm down.
In the quiet car.
Bai Xiaotu plucked up her courage and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Qin, I didn't expect things to turn out this way. I really didn't think your father would make me keep the child and marry you."
At this moment, Qin Jiang had nowhere to vent his anger.
He wanted to take it out on Bai Xiaotu but felt she hadn't really done anything wrong.
From Bai Xiaotu's performance today, she clearly hadn't done it on purpose.
She was also in a difficult position.
So what reason did he have to blame her?
"I'm sorry," Bai Xiaotu didn't get a response from Qin Jiang and hurried to apologize again.
"It's not your fault," Qin Jiang said coldly, "My dad often has people follow me. I was careless."
Because he felt Qin Jiang was unreliable, he had people keep an eye on him.
When Qin Jiang was dealing with Bai Xiaotu's matter, he really hadn't considered too much.
He also didn't expect that his dad would actually make Bai Xiaotu keep the child.
He thought someone as ambitious as his dad wouldn't care about a small family matter at all!
If only he had known his dad was this kind of person, he wouldn't have been so blatant!
He really regretted it to the bone.
Bai Xiaotu watched Qin Jiang be incredibly remorseful. She was actually quite surprised that he didn't blame her.
Most people would definitely feel like she had deliberately schemed, after all, who wouldn't want to marry into the Qin family and become the Qin family eldest young missus. She was really afraid Qin Jiang would misunderstand and make her life miserable in the future. But unexpectedly, Qin Jiang was so angry right now yet he hadn't directed any of his anger at her.
For the first time, she felt that maybe Qin Jiang wasn't too bad after all.
At least he wouldn't get angry unreasonably.
"Mr. Qin, I won't take that role anymore, I can't take it anymore. Your father won't let me work anymore. I've caused you too much trouble," Bai Xiaotu spoke up to express her apology.
"I already asked someone else for the role. If you can't do it then just give it to whoever. It's an easily accomplished thing for me anyway," Qin Jiang said without much interest.
"Can I really give it to someone else?" Bai Xiaotu asked somewhat disbelief.
With just a casual sentence from Qin Jiang, he was giving away something that unknown small-time stars like them desperately sought after.
"Mm," Qin Jiang made a sound of agreement.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Qin, really thank you," Bai Xiaotu was clearly a bit excited.
When she had first entered the company, she had been on very good terms with Su Qing.
Su Qing's development hadn't been going well recently either, unable to make progress.
She had seen that role before. It was really charming and might be able to make someone popular. Since she couldn't enjoy it herself now, she decided to give it to Su Qing.
She hoped Su Qing could develop sooner.
She reckoned that later on if Su Qing became successful, she could help Bai Xiaotu after she divorced Qin Jiang.
As for Ren Xinyue, naturally she wouldn't feel the slightest bit guilty.
If it wasn't for her deliberately interfering and snatching her role, she wouldn't have gone to look for Qin Jiang and wouldn't be facing her current predicament.
She thought about things in her heart.
The car arrived at her apartment building.
She got out of the car.
Qin Jiang asked her, "Do you need my help?"
"No, I don't have a lot of stuff," Bai Xiaotu declined.
"I'll have the driver go with you."
"No need, I can handle it myself," Bai Xiaotu declined again, "I don't want too many people to know."
Qin Jiang thought about it.
He also felt that sooner or later he would divorce Bai Xiaotu, so he agreed.
Bai Xiaotu returned to her apartment.
Ren Xinyue was at home practicing yoga.
Su Qing was rehearsing her lines.
"That's enough, that's enough. No roles at all but practicing so much that it's annoying. Can't you be a little quieter?" Ren Xinyue put on airs like a spoiled young miss.
Su Qing endured and was about to get up and return to her room.
"Su Qing," Bai Xiaotu called to her.
"Little Bunny, you're back?" Su Qing smiled brightly. "I saw you head out early this morning. Going for another audition?"
"No," Bai Xiaotu pulled her into her room.
Ren Xinyue watched the two and sneered derisively.
They were both useless trash.
They'd never become famous in this lifetime.
In the room.
Bai Xiaotu said, "Su Qing, I'm moving out."
"Why?" Su Qing looked very surprised.
"I might not continue to develop in the entertainment industry for now," said Bai Xiaotu.
"What happened? What big thing happened? Weren't we going to shine brightly together in the entertainment industry?"
"Calm down a bit," Bai Xiaotu consoled her. "Maybe I'll be back in a year or two."
"You didn't get taken in as a mistress did you?" Su Qing boldly guessed.
"No, anyway I'll be away temporarily," Bai Xiaotu naturally wouldn't say it. No matter how good friends, sometimes they could be sold out for news impact in the entertainment industry. "I just want to tell you to be sure to develop well in the entertainment industry."
Su Qing was clearly somewhat reluctant.
"Good luck!" Bai Xiaotu gave a slight smile.
Su Qing also smiled. "Then I'll wait for you to come back!"
Bai Xiaotu nodded.
She actually firmly believed that she would definitely come back one day.
Her and Qin Jiang wouldn't last long!
