Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhong Cuiping’s face was livid. She had received countless calls from her family and friends since last night. And every single one of the calls was asking about Su Yan.
Su Yan, who she had always viewed as a gold digger, had suddenly become the big boss behind Dragon Emperor Entertainment. Zhong Cuiping found it impossible to accept this. Su Yan had married into the Wei family for three years and spent almost all her time at home doing the housework. She rarely went out, so how did she suddenly become Dragon Emperor’s biggest shareholder?
Dragon Emperor Entertainment was one of the top companies in the entire entertainment industry. There were countless stars and artists under its management. Its business scope included variety shows, movies, television, domestic and international music circles, and so on. There was a rumor in the industry that Dragon Emperor could easily make anyone famous if they wanted to.
“Mom, what do we do now?” Wei Shani asked. Now that the public opinion on the internet was all on Su Yan’s side, she could not take it. She absolutely couldn’t stand seeing Su Yan doing well.

Zhong Cuiping glared at her and said unhappily, “What do we do? How would I know what to do? I told you long ago. Spend your time and energy on Young Master Lan and hurry to get yourself married. Why are you paying attention to Su Yan all day? She has already divorced your brother. I think you have nothing better to do!”
Wei Shani’s eyes reddened slightly and she revealed an aggrieved expression. “Mom, I don’t know what you’re thinking. In any case, I can’t accept it. When Su Yan, that little b*tch, was in our house, she had brought so much criticism to the Wei family. Yet now that she has divorced my brother, the public opinion online is praising her and saying that the divorce was my brother’s loss.”

Zhong Cuiping’s expression darkened. She doesn’t care if the public opinion was only biased towards Su Yan. However, she could not sit idly by when it came to Wei Zhou. Anyone who dared to defame or hurt Wei Zhou was her enemy!

“I will call your brother right now and tell him to get someone to do some PR and remove all the negative comments.” Zhong Cuiping said and dialed the number.
To her surprise, Wei Zhou’s angry voice came through as soon as the call was connected. “Tell Wei Shani to behave herself. Otherwise, even I can’t save her if the matter gets out of hand!”
And then, Wei Zhou hung up. Zhong Cuiping was still holding the phone with a confused look on her face.
“Mom, what happened? Did my brother hang up on you?” Wei Shani frowned.
Zhong Cuiping looked at her with a solemn expression and said, “Shasha, your brother said that you better behave yourself and not provoke Su Yan again. Otherwise, he won’t bother about.”
Wei Shani raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully, “Hmph, I’m the young miss of the Wei Family. Why should I be afraid of an unwanted second-hand good like Su Yan?”
Seeing that her words were falling on deaf ears, Zhong Cuiping didn’t say anything more. She lay on the bed and closed her eyes to rest. Wei Shani went back to her room and logged into Weibo to continue criticizing Su Yan. However, no one was led by her anymore.
…
The next morning, at the villa.
Su Yan was taking a bath in the jacuzzi when her secretary, Shen Ling, called. “President Su, Wei Shani has the lawyer’s letter. However, she doesn’t seem to be afraid. She said that she would give us any amount of money we want.”
“Tell her that I don’t want any money. Let her get ready to be sued,” Su Yan sneered.
“Okay, I’ll inform the legal department immediately!” Shen Ling replied and hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, Su Yan walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body. She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out. The Autumn air was refreshing and her mood was great. She had already begun to imagine Wei Shani’s wonderful face.
“Did you think that money could settle everything? Or do you think you’re richer than me?” Su Yan sneered in her heart.
..
Blue-Ray Media, General Manager’s Office.
“What did you say?! Dazzle Culture sold the copyright to Wan Xing?” Lan Jian slammed the table and shouted angrily.

“President Lan, this is true!” The secretary nodded.
Lan Jian was in a terrible mood. He felt that he had been played. They were already beginning to draw up a contract with Dazzle Culture. But in the end, they had signed a contract with his old enemy, Wan Xing. This sort of manipulation had left him dumbstruck.
Truthfully speaking, failing to buy over the copyright of Dazzle Culture’s IP wouldn’t cause any losses to Blue-Ray Media. If he couldn’t buy it, so be it. However, Dazzle Culture’s act was no different from slapping Blue-Ray Media in the face.
“Damn it! Did they think that I, Lan Jian, am easy to bully? Contact the person in charge of Dazzle Culture immediately.. I want to ask her in person, what exactly do they mean by this?” Lan Jian said angrily.
