The CEO'S Incredible Heiress (Book 2)

Chapter 222: How Willful

Recalling Jennie’s passionate love in the past, Kai wanted to go up and talk to her. However, Jin Sui had already left. kai could only restrain himself and follow him.

The cold wind outside woke Kai up. Why did he feel sorry for Jennie? There was no need, really.

Krystal was the most gentle and generous person he knew. She was also the one who had been most helpful to his career.

He thought about Lee Dong-wook’s familiar face.

Suddenly, he woke up. Lee Dong-wook? Damaged legs? Sitting in a wheelchair? Wasn’t that Jennie’s biological father who had come with Jennie the last time?

At that time, Lee Dong-wook had a bleak feeling, so even though Kai felt that he looked familiar, he had quickly thrown that feeling away.

The Lee Dong-wook today was obviously the famous actor Lee Dong-wook. So he and Jennie were father and daughter.

It turned out that the Lee family was not as poor as the rumors said.

However, even if he was not poor, Lee Dong-wook had already been away from the entertainment circle for more than twenty years. His family background had already fallen, and he was only so-so. No wonder he had to live in a small town.

Now, had Lee Dong-wook come back because he felt that money in the entertainment industry was easy to earn?

It was a pity that the entertainment industry was no longer the same as it was twenty years ago. One could not rise up just because one was slightly handsome.

At the thought of this, Kai’s feelings towards Jennie faded. He did not want anyone to drain him anymore.
…

At the venue.

Liu Ning went up to Lee Dong-wook. “Brother Lee, I’ve waited for this day for so long!”

Dong-wook patted his shoulder. “Thank you for the script.”

The two of them had been partners for many years back then. Following Dong-wook’s withdrawal from the industry, Liu Ning had also fallen in status.

After Dong-wook was injured, he had refused to let Liu Ning visit him and gradually broke off contact. This time, Jinxin had brought the script and asked him to try his best to find a suitable person, and Dong-wook’s figure immediately appeared in his mind.

If it were not for this script, and if he had not coincidentally found out that Dong-wook was in the hospital, this role might not have been offered to Dong-wook.

When his old partner saw him, he was naturally unable to contain his joy. The two of them began to converse with each other.

Wen Yongwei and Wen Yaoming witnessed this scene with their own eyes. The siblings found it unbelievable.

Wen Yaoming’s heart softened as he said to Wen Yongwei, “Xiaowei, let’s go.”

“Aren’t you going to fight for the role and opportunity?” Wen Yongwei asked. Were they going to give up their shared opportunity just like that?

Wen Yaoming said, “Didn’t you hear that the investors don’t want to invest in this movie just now? Just now, Dad’s secretary also sent me a message. Because Liu Ning and Jinxin insisted that Lee Dong-wook play the role, the investors have already entered a wait-and-see state. I’m afraid they won’t want to continue investing in ‘Burning Sun, Long Sky’.”

Wen Yongwei immediately understood something. “I see. A good script, good team, actors, and good investments should be indispensable. Lee Dong-wook is unknown in the entertainment industry now. It’s really worrying.”

“Also, I heard that Lee Dong-wook’s leg is better, but he still needs time to recuperate, and we don’t know if he’ll relapse. How would the investors dare to put money directly into such an uncontrollable project?” Wen Yaoming shook his head and said, “For the sake of personal feelings, Producer Liu really doesn’t intend to let this project that he was supposed to earn money with make a profit. That screenwriter is also… really willful.”

After some analysis, Wen Yaoming didn’t even want to fight for the role of the second male lead anymore.

Wen Yongwei also planned to leave for a better opportunity.

She looked up and saw that Jennie was walking towards Liu Ning and Lee Dong-wook. Her eyes were filled with passion and sincerity, and there was no sign of her usual indifference.

Wen Yongwei smiled. Why did Jennie like to fight for the same thing as her?

“Brother, let’s go.” Since it was something she did not want, Wen Yongwei felt that it was fine to let Jennie take it.

In the blink of an eye, everyone left.

‘Burning Sun, Long Sky’, a project that everyone had been optimistic about and that was popular with the public, had suddenly turned into a hot potato that investors were avoiding.

When Dong-wook saw the situation at the scene, his gaze could not help but turn cold. He was all too clear about the cause of the current situation.

“Xiao Liu, are you sure you want me to act in this?” Dong-wook did not want to drag his friend down because of a momentary preference.

Xiao Liu was a nickname from the past. After more than twenty years, when Liu Ning heard this nickname again, her heart couldn’t help but waver.

“It’s not that I’m sure about you, it’s this screenwriter. She said that if you don’t act, she’ll let the script rot in her hands,” Liu Ning said. “So, you must not let such a good script go to waste…”

“Yes, Dad. We must not let this script rot.” Jennie walked over.

Liu Ning looked at Jennie in shock and disbelief. “You’re Brother Lee’s daughter?”

“Yes…” Jennie blinked.

Liu Ning suddenly understood why even though he had been unable to contact Dong-wook for so many years, now, he could suddenly contact him and hand the script over. It turned out that Jennie had put in a lot of effort here.

He had thought that he and Jennie were telepathic and had chosen Best Actor Lee to be the main lead this time. It turned out that when Jennie wrote the script, it had been based on her father’s image.

He finally understood why Jennie didn’t want him to reveal her identity as the screenwriter, Jinxin. She had to keep it a secret.

If Dong-wook knew that this was the script written by Jennie, he would probably feel very pressured to recover. He would probably be afraid that he would not be able to act well in the script written by his daughter, right?

“You’ve known Jennie for a long time?” Dong-wook looked at Liu Ning.

Liu Ning clapped his hands. “Doesn’t ‘Burning Sun, Long Sky’ require a composer for the theme song? I feel that Jennie’s composing ability is not bad, so I intend to ask her.”

This reason was very credible. Dong-wook believed it immediately and smiled at his daughter. “My daughter’s creative ability is indeed not bad. Xiao Liu, after so many years, your taste is still decent.”

Liu Ning burst out laughing. “Of course! Otherwise, how could I have been your partner back then?”

Jennie held Dong-wook’s arm. “Dad, I heard from Producer Liu that you don’t have to rush to film this movie. You have to take care of your health first. You can only join the cast when Big Brother says that you are completely fine and can work.”

Liu Ning immediately said, “Yes, I’ll wait for you! Don’t worry, don’t panic!”

Because Liu Ning had been very loyal to Dong-wook for many years, Dong-wook did not suspect anything when he said that.

After everything was settled, Jennie accompanied Dong-wook out. Dong-wook touched her hair gently. “Don’t worry about my legs.. Your big brother said that it’ll be fine.”
