Old Master Yuan’s mood improved when he saw that the little girl was happy.

In one breath, he wrote several calligraphy paintings.

After he finished writing, he ordered the housekeeper to mount it and called Yuan Luochen to come home.

Yuan Luochen rushed home and inquired the housekeeper. He learned that Ye Xiaoxi had gone to look for his father and stayed in the study for quite a while.

He could roughly guess what was going on.

He had long heard about the grudge between Jiang Yining and Yan Ruo.

However, he still chose to cooperate with Yan Ruo.

That was because he had already disregarded Ye Xiaoxi. This girl spent all her time with his big brother. When she met him, she was as quiet as a little chick and was very polite.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this girl was siding with his elder brother.

Since she wasn’t on his side, there was no need for him to be nice to Ye Xiaoxi.

And as for partnering with Yan Ruo, it was a guaranteed win for him.

He wouldn’t give up on the deal for Xiaoxi’s skae.

Yuan Luochen tidied up his appearance and stepped into the study.

Ye Xiaoxi was still there.

Although he was disgusted, he smiled and greeted her, “Hey, Xiaoxi, you’re accompanying the Old Master to write calligraphy. You’re really filial. Old Master didn’t dote on you for nothing.”

“Hello, Second Uncle.”

Ye Xiaoxi felt uncomfortable being stared at by Yuan Luochen.

However, she still greeted him obediently.

Yuan Luochen nodded and looked at Old Master Yuan. He asked, “Father, 1 wonder why you called me back in such a hurry? What’s the matter?”

“1 heard that you recently signed a mangaka?”

“Yes, she returned from the United States. She’s highly popular in the industry. Adapting her comics into movies and TV shows can earn at least ten billion.” Yuan Luochen said, “Besides, this is just a trial. If the results are good, I plan to sign more mangakas’ film and television copyrights to form a mature industry chain. This can increase the annual profit of our Yuan family by hundreds of billions.”

After Yuan Luochen finished speaking, he asked, “Dad, why are you suddenly concerned about this? Didn’t you give me full authority over Longmen Film and Television Company a long time ago?”

“That’s right.” Old Master Yuan stroked his stubble and said, “This mangaka offended Xiaoxi’s benefactor. Give up on working with Yan Ruo. Pick other manga artists to repromote.”

He used an authoritative tone, leaving no room for negotiation.

However, Yuan Luochen didn’t comply as before. “Dad, 1 spent a lot of effort to get her on board. Moreover, the contract had already been signed and we’ve done some publicity. If we breach the contract now, we’ll lose tens of billions! If the other cartoonists see that our company has gone back on its word, they will also be disappointed. Then wouldn’t all the good situations that I’ve worked so hard to create be in vain?”

“I’ll help you cover the loss of tens of billions. There’s no need to say anything else,” Old Master Yuan said.

“You are willing, but I am not!” Yuan Luochen’s stubborn temper flared up and he said agitatedly, “Back then, when you handed Longmen Film and Television Company over to me, it was only worth fifty billion. Now, after my management, it has already increased by ten times. It’s my child. Others don’t cherish it, but 1 do!”

Yuan Luochen looked at Ye Xiaoxi and said, “Xiaoxi, don’t blame me for being affectionate and not giving you a face. I can give you as much money as you want. But this time, it involves my bottom line. Forgive me for not being able to help you.”

“Besides, I also heard from others that Yonghui Film and Television Company intends to sign Jiang Yining. Yonghui Film and Television Company and Longmen Film and Television Company have always been sworn enemies and have competed for so many years. Right after I cooperated with Yan Ruo, they sent you over to persuade me to terminate the contract with her.”

“Can’t you see the hidden conspiracy underneath? You’ve been foolishly used by someone to harm your own family.”

Ye Xiaoxi retorted, “Yining would never set me up.”

“Indeed, she won’t harm you, but what about Yonghui Film and Television Company? What if she’s used by someone to achieve other goals? Can you guard against it?”

Yuan Luochen asked.

Ye Xiaoxi insisted, “Yining is so smart. 1 believe that she won’t be deceived.”

“She’s just a little girl with shallow experience. How can she outsmart the cunning old foxes of the Bo family?” Yuan Luochen said, “Dad, if Jiang Yining really can’t swallow this grievance, I’m willing to bring Yan Ruo to apologize personally. However, 1 can’t agree to the termination of the contract no matter what.”

Yuan Luochen made his stance clear.

Old Master Yuan looked at Ye Xiaoxi and asked, “Xiaoxi, what do you think?”

Ye Xiaoxi wanted to argue on the grounds of reason and insisted on having Yuan Luochen give up on Yan Ruo.

However, when she met Yuan Luochen’s sharp gaze, Yining’s repeated warnings flashed through her mind, telling her not to fight head-on with her family.

She took a few deep breaths and compromised.

“Alright then. Then let Yan Ruo apologize to Yining.”

“Good.” Old Master Yuan nodded and instructed Yuan Luochen. “Don’t just appease me and Xiaoxi. Make sure to supervise Yan Ruo’s apology.”

“Yes, Father.”

Yuan Luochen nodded respectfully.

After the discussion, Old Master Yuan was tired and let Yuan Luochen go.

Then, he left Ye Xiaoxi behind and said a few intimate words.

“Xiaoxi, I know you value friendship. However, it was not worth it to be angry with one’s own family for the sake of outsiders. You still have to rely on your uncles to take care of you in the future. Remember to build a good relationship with them.”

“I remember, Grandpa.”

Ye Xiaoxi nodded.

Old Master Yuan suddenly felt that she was so well-behaved that it made his heart ache.

If he were a dozen years younger, he would definitely spoil Xiaoxi to the point that she was lawless.

No one could go against her wishes.

But now, his health was declining day by day…

He was afraid that Xiaoxi would offend her family and that they would settle the score with her after he died.

Therefore, he was very restrained in many things.

Old Master Yuan retracted his gaze and stroked her hair. He said, “You should go back and rest too.”

“Okay, Grandpa, I’m leaving.”

Ye Xiaoxi came out of the study.

She wanted to go back to her room and tell Jiang Yining about Yan Ruo’s apology.

However, when she walked past the artificial hillrockery, a hand suddenly appeared and pulled her in.

The next moment…

She was strangled and pressed against a cold stone..
