Director Lan felt sorry for Jennie. He wasn't the only one who was looking forward to working with her. Peng Qinling, who fell for Jennie at first sight because of how remarkable and similar she was to the character she wrote in her novel, was absolutely heartbroken.
When Peng Qingling heard that Jennie was being forced to leave the cast, she protested and said that she won't be joining the production either, and she would like to pull them off the rights of her novel.
Unfortunately, Peng Qingling already signed a contract to let the filming production use her novel. Simply pulling back out of the production would mean she violated the agreement she signed and would be paying a hefty amount of money as recompensation for the parties involved.
Director Lan waited for Jennie to take everything in. It was too silent. Nobody was speaking on the other side of the phone. He became worried that this brought a lot of pain and heartache to Jennie.
And so, he tried to comfort her by saying, "Don't worry, Jennie. I know some friends who are also directors in the industry. I can talk to all of them and tell them to let you join their movies."
But Jennie shook her head. She replied to him, "Thank you, Director Lan. There's no need to call your friends. I am not that heartbroken, and besides, this is the only beginning of my journey to stardom. This kind of thing is normal for the main character to experience before she rises up, right?"
In every drama and movie, the main character is constantly bullied and brought down by her enemies. But at the very end, they still won wonderfully, and their enemies had to beg them for forgiveness.
Unfortunately, unlike the main character in the drama or movie, Jennie won't forgive anyone who tried to make her life miserable.
After she hung up the phone, Jennie forced a smile on her lips.
"What happened?" Lisa asked as he approached her.
Jennie bit her lips and blinked.
Shaking her head, she jumped into his embrace and buried her face on his chest.
"I'm alright... everything is alright. It's just that this world is too messed up for anyone to live on peacefully," Jennie mumbled.
Hearing her saying things like this, Lisa didn't need to check what exactly happened. He could already guess that someone had bullied his wife from the call she received.
Patting her head, he said, "Then, shouldn't it be your hubby's responsibility for you to live in this messed up world peacefully?"
Jennie raised her head and stared up at him widely.
Lisa smiled. "Tell me who bullied you, and I'll punish all of them."
Jennie was filled with warmth all over. No one has ever said these words to her with such a determined expression as if making an impossible oat and making it happen. It was like saying that he'd grab a star in a night sky and make it hers.
After telling him what happened during the audition and the contents of Director Lan's call, Jennie sat on the couch, cuddled in his arms as Lisa gently patted her back.
"Last night, I also heard from some extras that this hotel was owned by a friend of Qin Ling's father. If you hadn't reserved this suite, I would have to share a room with someone or stay in a small room."
Lisa frowned. "This hotel is owned by that actress' father's friend?"
"Yeah..."
"Why haven't I heard of that then?"
Jennie stared at him. "You're too busy. It's not surprising for you to not know who owned the hotel."
Lisa shook his head and said, "No, it's not that. What I meant is that how come I didn't know that I had a friend who can freely make arrangements in my hotel?"
Jennie: "..."
What? Did she mishear him? Who's hotel was it?
Jennie quickly blinked her eyes and sat up. "You... what did you say?"
Lisa pulled her back to his embrace and explained, "I own this hotel, dear wife. There's no need to be so shocked."
Jennie tried to sit up again, but she was blocked by his arms that had grabbed her waist tightly.
Jennie was completely confused, "But isn't this hotel part of the Xue family?"
Lisa nodded. "And the Xue family is also a part of my maternal family. Technically, the Song and Xue families are connected by blood and own several companies in the country. But most of them are owned by me, your husband."
The Xue family was not that well-off in the past. The family recently rose from the ground after Lisa took over the Song family after his mother's death. They were also there when his mother died and helped her when she was alive.
Lisa should have been the master of the two families since he technically owned everything in their hands. But out of respect and being grateful for their help and care towards his mother, he didn't take over the Xue family as everyone expected him to.
But this was not publicized, and only the Xue and Song family knew about this fact.
Thus, Jennie not knowing this about him was very natural. Not even the Manoban family knew about this after all.
And now that she knew about this truth, Jennie was extremely amazed.
"Hubby is so amazing," she stared at him brightly as if she was seeing a golden statue of himself. "You're not only handsome, tall, rich, and sexy… You're also the master of the two families."
"What should I do? Will I have to make everyone who saw me bow down and tell them that I have become the wife of a king?"
Lisa chuckled and said, "Yes, you may do that. You can point your finger at them and order them around like an empress would. If you want, you can even wear the palace dresses to match up with the aura."
The two looked at each other and laughed together.
Jennie's mood that turned a bit dark after the call finally saw the sun from between the gaps of a gathering of dark clouds.
