Chapter 2638 - 2642: That’s Just Not Fair, Is It?

Chapter 2638: Chapter 2642: That’s Just Not Fair, Is It?

As long as Lou Ning can offer a suitable price, she’s willing to let him go and fly far away.

Hearing Ye Xingbei’s words, surprise lit up in Lou Ning’s eyes.

He hurriedly said, "Boss, I’m willing to give you all my savings."

Ye Xingbei’s lips curled. "How much?"

Lou Ning said, "A bit over thirty million."

"A bit over thirty million... In such a short time, you’ve already amassed more than thirty million in assets. That shows you really are big right now," Ye Xingbei said. "But don’t you think the gap between thirty million and tens of billions is just a little too big?"

The joy in Lou Ning’s eyes instantly froze.

He was stunned for a moment. "Boss... this is all the money I have..."

Ye Xingbei gave a small smile. "Lou Ning, back then, in order to save you and help you get revenge, Junzhu and I didn’t just spend time and money, we also burned through a lot of favors and face... Lou Ning, favors are priceless..."

She bit down especially hard on those last five words.

Favors are priceless.

In other words, the debt he owes for Ye Xingbei and Gu Junzhu saving him and avenging him is also priceless.

Yet now, he’s asking to terminate his contract...

Lou Ning’s face flushed scarlet with shame on the spot.

"I’m sorry... I’m sorry..." He bowed his head deeply and said bitterly, "I don’t want this either, Boss. I’m grateful to you, really. In this world, the person I’m most grateful to is you. But I love Zhenyu, I can’t lose her. If I don’t terminate the contract with you, her dad won’t allow us to be together. I really don’t have a choice."

"Mm, you have no choice," Ye Xingbei’s lips curled. "So you’ve decided I should be the one to take the hit, is that it?"

Lou Ning wished he could bury his head in his chest, mortified to the point he wanted to disappear.

He truly didn’t want it to be like this.

He also knew that being so ungrateful was wrong.

But he was just too lonely.

He craved having a family of his own too much.

He loved Jee Zhenyu.

He loved her cheerfulness, her sunshine, her cuteness.

Only when he was with Jee Zhenyu did he feel like he was a person, and not just a money-making machine.

Only then did he feel that he still had a future, a life.

That he was still alive.

If he had to be separated from Jee Zhenyu, he would be better off dead.

He really had no other way, that’s why he came to talk to Ye Xingbei about terminating the contract.

He knew what he was doing would make people despise and spit on him.

But he had no choice.

If he had to go on living like this, like a walking corpse, he’d rather die.

Head bowed, he stumbled through all these thoughts from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Xingbei looked at him in disappointment.

So, in his heart, if he couldn’t be with Jee Zhenyu, then he was nothing but a machine that raked in money for her.

This person, there was really no need to keep him anymore.

"Fine." She made up her mind and stopped arguing right and wrong with Lou Ning. "Call Jee Zhenyu in. I’ll talk to her."

Lou Ning looked up at her, his gaze full of wary disbelief.

Ye Xingbei looked at him and let out a soft, mirthless laugh. "Lou Ning, I don’t know if you’re really stupid or just pretending to be. In today’s entertainment industry, you’re at the peak of your popularity. You’re young, handsome, and talented. As long as you don’t self-destruct and just develop steadily, your future is limitless. Whoever signs you now is basically picking up a cash cow for free."

"As it happens, Jee Zhenyu is the daughter of an entertainment company. You terminate with me and then sign with Jee Group, and once you’re in Jee Group you’ll be earning money for them."

"You’re someone I trained. I planted the tree, I pruned the branches, I watched the apples grow. Now that the apples are at their reddest and most delicious, Jee Group wants to pluck my apples and not pay me a single cent. That doesn’t make sense, does it?"
