Chapter 2639: Chapter 2643: Longing for Something That Cannot Be Attained

Lou Ning bit his lip and nodded, "Alright, I’ll let Zhenyu come in and talk to you."

He stood up and went out.

A moment later, Jee Zhenyu walked in with him and sat opposite Ye Xingbei.

She looked at Ye Xingbei with an innocent and pure expression: "President Ye, Brother Xiaolou and I are truly in love, we hope you can bless us."

"Well, I can bless you," Ye Xingbei said straightforwardly: "I won’t ask for a hundred billion as breaching penalty, give me two billion, and we can sign the termination agreement right now."

"Two billion?" Jee Zhenyu’s innocent and pure smile stiffened: "President Ye, two billion is really too much..."

Ye Xingbei smiled, "The termination fee in the contract is a hundred billion, now I only want two percent of that, you think that’s too much?"

"But that contract was unreasonable from the start," Jee Zhenyu said: "I’ve never heard of a contract with a hundred billion breach penalty, if we expose the contract, President Ye, you will definitely be criticized."

"The breach penalty is unreasonable?" Ye Xingbei chuckled and raised her eyebrows to look at Lou Ning: "Lou Ning, do you also think the breach penalty is unreasonable?"

Lou Ning hesitated for a moment, then gently nodded.

Ye Xingbei was even more disappointed in him, her smile carried a bit of mockery: "Lou Ning, since you also think the breach penalty is unreasonable, why did you sign it in the first place? Did I exploit my power to force you to sign, or did I threaten you?"

Lou Ning was stunned for a bit, shaking his head blankly.

"Then I don’t understand," Ye Xingbei said with sarcasm in her tone, "Since no one forced you at that time, and you thought the breach penalty was unreasonable, why did you sign such a contract? Can you explain it to me?"

Lou Ning opened his mouth but failed to make a sound.

Why did he sign that contract back then?

Because at that time he was at the end of his rope, with no way out, reduced to the lowest form of a gigolo, selling his skills just to survive, but not his body.

Even though his body was clean, in others’ eyes, he was just a gigolo.

A commodity, subject to appraisal by others, enduring looks of contempt or disdain.

Ye Xingbei was willing to save him from the quagmire, it was what he fervently wished for.

Back then, he was incredibly grateful to Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei.

Even now, in his heart, Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei are the great benefactors who saved him from peril.

At that time, he felt that as long as he could avenge himself and his mother, he was willing to pay any price.

But times change.

People change.

Or rather, they’re greedy.

When he had nothing, he thought it was enough to avenge him and his mother in this lifetime.

Now, he has fame, money, and status, and he desires love, a normal family.

He knows this is wrong.

He should not be unfaithful.

He should not leave Ye Xingbei’s studio.

But the magic power of love is too strong.

He can’t control himself.

"I’m sorry..." He lowered his head deeply, wishing he could bury it in his chest.

He didn’t know what else he could say beyond these three words.

"President Ye," Jee Zhenyu looked at Ye Xingbei and said: "I believe you know, there’s a saying that goes, ’One who achieves success should help others,’ meaning if you have the capability, you should help those in need, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the more people you should help."

"President Ye, regarding the matters between Brother Xiaolou and you, Brother Xiaolou has spoken about them with me, he is very grateful to you, and I also admit that you are a good person."
