Aileen called Ming Shu constantly.

After Ming Shu got in Jiang Xun's car, she could free herself from the thrall of food to answer Aileen's call.

"Jiang Nian, do you know how many times I called you?!" Aileen shouted through the phone as powerfully as a tsunami.

Aileen almost went crazy last night.

"I don't know, let me see." Ming Shu brought the phone away from her face to count, then answered, "Fifty-six. Still less than one hundred."

"..."

Less than one hundred!

Less than!

Aileen wanted to kill somebody. She shouted at the phone so loudly her voice could be heard off speaker.

Jiang Xun looked at his sister, her arm against the window and her legs crossed. Her slit skirt exposed her beautiful white leg.

Jiang Xun looked away and leaned over.

A strange but familiar smell came to Ming Shu. Holding a bottle of milk, she moved back and stared at Jiang Xun.

What are you doing? Robbing my milk?

Jiang Xun smiled suddenly. But maybe because he didn't want Ming Shu to see it, he quickly stopped. He helped her fasten her seat belt. "Seat belt."

Ming Shu looked at the side of Jiang Xun's face.

When Jiang Xun sat back, Ming Shu quickly finished her milk. Meanwhile, the more Jiang Xun looked at Ming Shu, the more lovely he thought she was.

"Jiang Nian, are you listening to me?" Aileen shouted for some time and found that Jiang Nian said nothing. She had to continue shouting.

"I listened." Ming Shu put the phone close to her ear and said, "Just terminate the contracts. Tell them to compensate me. I've heard that my work for the year after next has been arranged already. Such a large sum of money, we should get all of it."

I can buy lots of food.

"Are you crazy?" Aileen was in a fury. "If those contracts are terminated, do you know what else you can do in showbiz?"

"Sister Aileen, I don't want to act anymore. I can get such a huge amount of cash before I quit acting. Isn't it great?" I am a woman with a dream.

"What?" Aileen shouted. Then a sudden sound came out of the phone, such that nobody knew what happened to Aileen. After a while, Aileen returned to the call. "Are you a fool? You're at your peak right now, do you really want to quit? You are the young miss of the Jiang family. Li Shaonan is powerful in showbiz, but your Jiang family is powerful too. Jiang Nian, don't ruin your future."

The more Aileen spoke, the lower her voice became. She really wanted Jiang Nian to go far in showbiz.

"Sister Aileen, I'm tired," Ming Shu said in a low, exhausted voice.

But—

"Jiang Nian, what are you eating!"

...

"You really don't want to act?" Jiang Xun paused for a second before continuing. "If you want to act, I can help you."

Ming Shu turned her head to look at Jiang Xun. "Bro, I decided to compete with you for the family assets."

She could buy lots of things if she got the family assets!

Jiang Xun's didn't look fazed at all. "The Jiang family is yours. I'm just protecting it for you."
