Chapter 1569: Because You Are Different
Chapter 1569: Chapter 1569: Because You Are Different
"Don’t be sad for her anymore, it’s not worth it!" Jian Dan walked up to Mei Xiaoyu, crouched down, and whispered.
"No! It’s not like that.
Actually, there’s a reason my sister became like this.
Our father is a compulsive gambler, and every time he lost money, he’d come home and beat us three terribly. Our mother couldn’t take it anymore and divorced him—he initially didn’t agree, but later conceded after the police got involved. However, he insisted on keeping one daughter to stay with him.
Everyone knows that the one left behind would live in Hell, but my sister still gave me the chance, choosing to stay herself.
Everything I do for my sister is voluntary, it’s the debt I owe her."
What Mei Xiaoyu said reminded Jian Dan of Wei Qianqing, whose tragic childhood experiences led to personality distortions, ultimately hurting themselves and others.
"You’re right, your sister deserves sympathy, but her actions won’t be excused by sympathy.
Childhood experiences can’t be changed, but she had many choices when she grew up.
She could choose to find a stable job and live well.
She could choose to open a small shop with you two sisters, busy but fulfilling.
She could also choose to marry a good person and live a happy ordinary life.
She could also choose to be a proper celebrity.
But she didn’t do any of that; she chose to take shortcuts, willing to hurt others to achieve her goals.
She’s pitiful, that’s true, but that’s not a reason for her to hurt others freely."
Mei Xiaoyu watched as Jian Dan slowly stood up, "Thank you for telling me these things, I really never thought about it before.
I’m very sorry for what happened today." Mei Xiaoyu bowed deeply to Jian Dan, "But this matter has nothing to do with him, can you let him go?"
"Xiaoyu, I won’t leave anyone behind," the man grabbed Mei Xiaoyu’s hand.
"Li Mu, you heard it just now too, there’s someone else in my heart, you shouldn’t waste your time on me, it’s not worth it!"
"Whether it’s worth it or not isn’t for you to decide, I think it is.
Actually, I’ve always known there’s someone in your heart, I don’t mind having a spot for him in your heart, I just hope you can give me the remaining space."
"Alright, you two, could you stop acting like it’s some life-and-death situation? People who don’t know might think we’re going to do something to you." Jian Dan rolled her eyes at the two before speaking.
"Alright, I can overlook today’s matter, but I have one condition."
"What condition?"
"Didn’t you sign a contract with our company? That contract is void starting today, you don’t mind, right?"
"No, that’s appropriate!"
"That’s good, but you have to sign an additional agreement!"
"No problem!"
"Great."
Soon, the supplementary agreement was drafted and sent to Jian Dan’s phone.
"Here’s the supplementary agreement, take a look; if there’s no issue, sign it!" Jian Dan handed the phone to Mei Xiaoyu.
After reading it, Mei Xiaoyu’s expression changed suddenly, "This agreement is..."
"What? Do you have any objections?"
"You’re not only not sparing me but signing me up?"
Previously, Mei Xiaolin had only signed a contract for one drama.
"Indeed, but did you read it clearly? The contract fee is 0, and there’s no payment for this role either, think it over before signing!"
While Jian Dan said this, Mei Xiaoyun knew very well that Jian Dan was helping her; an actor like her, with third-tier standing, signing with New E Media means endless resources in the future.
"But why?" Mei Xiaolin asked in confusion.
"Because you’re different!"
Jian Dan looked at Mei Xiaoyu and smiled lightly.
