Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

"Though my other films are still waiting to be shortlisted next year. Hopefully, it will be picked up earlier so I can take a rest early too." Ran Xueyi planned to lessen the films and projects she will accept after the film <Unholy Desires> was finished.

She didn't tell her plans yet, but the truth is... she wanted to stay beside Song Yu Han and Song Zhan a bit longer. She won't retire from being an actress, but she will only accept one film a year. And if things finally become stable in her life, she can decide whether to continue being an actress or become a full-time wife and mother.

Suddenly, her gaze fell down on her stomach.

Ran Xueyi thought that if she were to give birth to another child, it would have been amazing.

"What's wrong? Is your stomach hurting?" Song Yu Han saw her eyes moving to glance over at her stomach. Last night, they were in haste and didn't get to fill their stomachs so it was only right that Ran Xueyi would be hungry.

Unfortunately, there was no kitchen in the suite they were staying at and he could only order something to pad their stomachs.

"I'll go and order something for us to eat," said Song Yu Han before picking up his phone that was left in his jacket. Then, he opened an app he seldom used and pressed a few dishes before placing the order.

Ran Xueyi watched him do this in embarrassment. Her gaze earlier didn't mean she was hungry. Even though they haven't eaten anything yet, she wasn't feeling that starved.

After seeing him done ordering, Ran Xueyi opened her lips to tell him whether the sound of making their family bigger was a good idea when a call suddenly broke through the peaceful atmosphere.

Ran Xueyi glanced at her phone and saw the screen display showing an unregistered number. She frowned before ruthlessly rejecting the call.

But just after she rejected it, the caller pressed to call her again.

"You won't answer them? It could be something important." Song Yu Han walked to sit next to her again.

Ran Xueyi laughed and replied in a lazy tone, "If I take this call now, the person who called will think I'm a pushover."

At her words, Song Yu Han got curious to know the identity of the person who called her.

Ran Xueyi didn't hide it from him and told him that it was the chairman from Dauntless. Hearing this, he was surprised for a moment and looked at Ran Xueyi, saying, "You already took care of Gong Sun and Feng Huai?"

Ran Xueyi shook her head, "Not yet. Gong Sun was fired but he got away easily. I want both him and Feng Huai to be blacklisted in the country."

...

At the same time, Gong Sun and Feng Huai were running around the city to visit all of their rich friends. Despite their relationship being driven to the edge, the two of them were still tied to the same boat. Once this boat sank, the two of them could only drown with it. Thus, the two temporarily agreed to have a truce until they solved the 100 million dollar problem.

However, it was hard to look for someone who was willing to give money. Those wealthy friends didn't even want to meet with them after hearing that Gong Sun was fired by Dauntless.

Regardless of how Gong Sun explained that it was not his fault and he was being framed, nobody gave him money.

"Sorry, buddy. But my wife is pregnant and my money is reserved for her and my child," a lanky man in a business suit told Gong Sun. He was a classmate in senior high.

Upon hearing this, Feng Huai could only let classmates go and turn to Gong Sun, whose face did not look good.

"Let's look for others again. I'm sure they can lend us some money." They already gathered 45 million dollars. 30 million was the money that came from Gong Sun's pocket, 10 million was pitched in by Feng Huai, and the 5 million was borrowed to them by some of their close friends and relatives.

45 million was not even half of the 100 million that Gong Sun needed. However,

"Lend us money? Are you an idiot, Feng Huai?" Gong Sun snapped. "That classmate wasn't even married to anyone when we met last month, when did he miraculously get a wife and a child so soon?! That bastard obviously didn't want to borrow us any money. That prick!"

Feng Huai was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the direction where the classmate ran off and gritted his teeth. But he quickly calmed down and said, "It doesn't matter. We still have a few more people who can lend us money."

Feng Huai opened his small notebook and saw the names of their 'rich' friends were all crossed out. At least a handful of them were able to lend them a bit of their money, but the rest of the 100 friends in the list turned them down.

This kind of situation, even if Feng Huai was an introvert, he could understand that every one of their friends were avoiding them.

"Shit! It's already 2 pm," Gong Sun cursed loudly. Dauntless only gave him until 6pm, if he still didn't send the money to them to cover the damages he had caused to the company, the police will be notified and he will have to be sent to the court for a trial.

"What should we do? Can't we borrow from your parents?" Feng Huai asked. His sister boasted a lot about Gong Sun's parents, saying that they were very rich.

Gong Sun frowned and laughed sardonically, "Parents? I am an orphan, when did I have parents?"

"You... You're an orphan? Then who were those people who came to attend the wedding?" Feng Huai was startled by this and stared at him with his eyes wide open. He remembered that Gong Sun brought his parents to meet their parents. At that time, Gong Sun's parents dressed expensively. And at the wedding, they generously gave a lot of money to the newlyweds.

Gong Sun curled his lips and replied, "I paid them."

"But who cares about that? We only have to worry about how we can get the rest of the money." Gong Sun was not afraid of shedding all pretenses as he continued, "You're an accomplice so don't even think of getting out of this."

Feng Huai staggered on the street as he stared at Gong Sun. He didn't expect that it wasn't only his sister who was duped by this man. His parents and even Feng Huai were manipulated to believe his lies. Turns out that Gong Sun was not the right person for his sister just as he initially expected. However, it was too late to regret not stopping his sister to marry this man even if he ended up hurting her.

Moreover, he regretted betraying Ran Xueyi and Chestnut. If not for Gong Sun's temptation he would have never done those vile things he did. If he didn't listen to his sister and colluded with Gong Sun, he wouldn't be named as his accomplice and stay as an agent at Chestnut.

He didn't even have to help him get the money for the damage of leaking the privacy and secrets of the company!

As he was thinking, his phone inside his pocket vibrated. He took it out, looked at the screen, and saw a message.

[Zhao Yiqing: Come to the office]

Gong Sun saw him looking at his phone and asked, "Who is it?"

Feng Huai: "It's the artist I'm handling."

"Oh, that singer?" Gong Sun knew who Zhao Yiqing was through the information he received from Feng Huai. "Why don't you call him?"

Feng Huai frowned, "For what?"

"Didn't he earn a lot through his songs? His song was sold millions of times, he must have racked up a lot of money. Why don't you ask him for money since you're his manager, after all," Gong Sun became excited.

Zhao Yiqing released an album a few months ago, and it was bought nationwide. The sales from his album should have exceeded a hundred million already.

Feng Huai snapped out of his daze and also thought of this. If he asked Zhao Yiqing and played out a dramatic performance, he might be able to get the money from him. However, he wasn't beside him for a few months now. Feng Huai wondered if he could take advantage of Zhao Yiqing.

'Ding!'

A message was sent to him again. The sender was still Zhao Yiqing.

[Zhao Yiqing: Huai Ge, I just finished writing the songs for my new album. Can you come to the office today so you can take a look at it?]

"What did he say?" Gong Sun moved to stand beside him and saw the message. His eyes instantly lit up and slapped his shoulders, "Woah! Isn't this a sign of money rolling in?"

Feng Huai didn't understand what he was talking about but he heard the other continue excitedly speaking, "If we take his album and send it to a music studio and tell them that it was Zhao Yiqing who wrote it, we can sell it for at least 20, no, even 50 million!"

Isn't this a chance for them to avoid getting punished? Look, even the heavens are siding with them!
