　　Chapter 012: Marrying a Scum Man’s Mother (12)

　　After the sound disappeared, Jian Yixian appeared at the door of 1602.
　　
　　Xia Changhan is flabbergasted, she didn’t expect that Jian Yixian would come in person. She stared at Cao Feng, ‘Ah, it’s just a 30 million contract and yet the big boss have to do it herself, is his business level not good?’ Xia Changhan couldn’t help but remember their first encounter, Jian Yixian’s white tender feet has shaken the young man who was looking at her snow white chest.
　　
　　She thought to herself, Cao Feng’s business level was average, maybe only his bedding skill was outstanding
　　
　　Cao Feng neck felt a cold goosebump, he stood behind Jian Yixian, his tall and sturdy man’s aura, was completely suppressed by Jian Yixian.
　　
　　The eyes behind Jian Yixian’s gold-framed glasses had a glazed luster, and she looked at Xia Changhan.
　　
　　Xia Changchan felt like she was measured, Jian Yixian’s gaze was too aggressive, like a sharp knife moving back and forth on her body.
　　
　　She quickly squeezed out a smile, “Hello, President Jian, I’m Xia Changhan.”
　　
　　Jian Yixian withdrew her gaze and stretched out her hand to shake Xia Changhan’s hand, “I’m Jian Yixian.”
　　
　　I don’t know if it was an illusion or not, but Xia Changhan felt Jian Yixian’s middle finger twitched slightly as she withdrew her hand and lightly scratching her palm.
　　
　　Xia Changhan stared at her suspiciously, yet Jian Yixian’s face remained the same, pulling out her own chair and pointing politely across, “Miss Xia, please sit down.”
　　
　　Cao Feng was secretly vomiting: ‘Two people who has rolled over on bed was meeting politely like strangers.’
　　
　　Xia Changhan gathered up her short skirt and sat across Jian Yixian, this was the first time she had a formal face-to-face conversation with Jian Yixian.
　　
　　Jian Yixian had a beautiful appearance, as gorgeous as a peach and plum, but she has cold eyes and eyebrows, her temperament is cold, like a peony frozen in ice.
　　
　　She didn’t look like the mother of a young man in his twenties.
　　
　　Jian Yixian spread her sleeves flat on top of the table, folded her hands together and looked towards Xia Changhan: “Miss Xia, allow me to interject, I heard that the dog had the honor of winning Miss Xia’s heart?”[1]
　　
　　Xia Changhan who have no consciousness of Jian Yixian as the big investor, was very hard-headed, “I was young and blind, I fed my heart to the dog.”[2]
　　
　　The feeling of slandering her son as scum in front of her ex-boyfriend’s mother was… It couldn’t be measured how refreshing it is.
　　
　　Xia Changhan wasn’t worried about offending Jian Yixian at all, the worst-case scenario was Jian Yixian withdraws her investment and continued to block her, it couldn’t get more worse than now.
　　
　　There was a hint of happiness on Jian Yixian’s eyes. The situation was even better than what she has imagined, Xia Changhan loved passionately and broke up cleanly, there was no trace of nostalgia to her former feelings, completely eliminating the possibility of rekindling old feelings.
　　
　　Since Jian Yixian was happy, she wanted to make additional investments.
　　
　　”Miss Xia, my assistant said that you only need 30 million investment, in my opinion, you are worth 300 million.”
　　
　　Xia Changchan was stunned, was Jian Yixian f*cking M, sending money to someone who had just scolded her son.
　　
　　She excused herself, “President Jian, you haven’t read my script, the proposal of additional investment is too hasty.”
　　
　　Jian Yixian stared at Xia Changhan closely, a light flashed on her eyes, giving an illusion her being affectionate, “This is my personal investment.”
　　
　　Xia Changhan took out the script and pushed it to Jian Yixian: “President Jian, please take a look at the script, 50 million yuan is more than enough for this drama, investing 300 million would be too much, actually the benefit that will be received from this drama is very small.”
　　
　　Jian Yixian received the script, she didn’t look at it casually just because the investment amount is small, she pushed the glasses that slid onto the bridge of her nose, and read through the script seriously.
　　
　　Xia Changhan waited patiently on one side, she was confident in the script, in the last world this drama stood out when web drama was in full bloom, there was no reason why it can’t catch fire in this world where web drama wasn’t even developed.
　　
　　As long as the funding is in place, this drama could launch a new era of web series.
　　
　　The more Jian Yixian read, the more amazed she was. Jian Yixian was a businessman with good eyes. She quickly flipped through the second page. ‘This drama has huge potential. Once it’s signed, if there were no surprises, this year’s Nianhua Media’s star-making plan can almost be half completed.’
　　
　　After reading the last page, Jian Yixian closed the script and asked: “Miss Xia, I have a request to be made. Can the main supporting role be played by actors from the Nianhua Media.”
　　
　　Xia Changchan smiled, “Miss Jian, I wont lie to you, this drama is my heart and soul, ever since you ordered to block me, I’ve been unable to move an inch in the circle. I wanted to turn over a new leaf, if you stuff in some unruly idol stars to mess things up, I’ll simply retire from the Entertainment Circle and go home to farm.” [4]
　　
　　”Honestly, because of the heir to your company is a scum like Jian Ming, if the top beam isn’t straight the lower beams will be crooked[5], I have a psychological barrier to hire someone from your company. “
　　
　　Cao Feng’s usually unchanged paralyzed face was finally cracked open, his expression changed slightly, ‘Miss Xia is really too brave, she has carved the word “strong” into her heart, into the bone and blood, all who have offended her, in the end will have to eat her light or heavy taunts.’
　　
　　Anyone who knew Xia Changhan knew that she never holds grudges, and usually avenges them on the spot.
　　
　　Jian Yixian nodded: “I understand Miss Xia’s concern, I didn’t know Miss Xia well before, and I suppressed certain public opinion for the sake of Jian Family’s reputation. I apologize to Miss Xia for this, and I am willing to make amends, I hope Miss Xia can forgive me.”
　　
　　Xia Changhan was dizzy from hearing Jian Yixian’s words, Jian Yixian was too damn easy to talk to, how could someone so elegant and well-cultivated like Jian Yixian raised a shitty calf like Jian Ming?
　　
　　Cao Feng was also dumbfounded, ‘President Jian, your character has collapsed! You’re supposed to be vicious, merciless, cold-hearted, turned your head away and refused to recognise talent… That’s your normal character!’
　　
　　Jian Yixian has apologized, Xia Changhan has loosened up, she agreed with Nianhua Media sending a few actors through the back door. Xia Changhan stated in advance with Jian Yixian that an audition will be held before the start of the film, and only through the audition, would the actors of Nianhua Media be allowed to participate in the film.
　　
　　Jian Yixian agreed. This was expected to be a loss-making investment. She didn’t expect there would be any unexpected surprises, she was growing more fond of Xia Changhan.
　　
　　After Xia Changhan left, Jian Yixian dialed a number and asked, “How is the investigation.”
　　
　　A low, hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, “Not much progress, the other party is very cautious, and almost all traces have been removed.”
　　
　　”Hurry up, I expect some results in two months.”
　　
　　”I’ll try my best…”
　　
　　Jian Ming didn’t know that his mother had sent someone to investigate that night. He was in a bed with Bai Youyou, after it was over, he hugged her and said: “Babe, why did you block my mom’s car, my mom called, it scared me and I almost got cardiac arrest.”

　　”Ah, it was just a phone call, why did you become a wimp.”
　　
　　Jian Ming squeezed Bai Youyou’s ass, causing her to give him a blank look: “My mom has a twisted mind, and no one can guess what she’s thinking, so if you really think she’s calling me because you have blocked her, then It would be too naive.”　　

　　Bai Youyou said, “It can’t be because I’m talking to Xia Changhan.”
　　
　　Jian Ming knew Bai Youyou’s virtue, “Can you talk to her properly?”
　　
　　Bai Youyou smiled coquettishly, “Who says I can’t, at least we’ve all served you together, I’ve always called her big sister.”
　　
　　”With that Xia Changhan’s fake noble attitude, how could she let me touch her body, or made love with me.”
　　
　　Bai Youyou wrapped her arms around Jian Ming like a snake and pampered her, “Then you can only love me well.”
　　
　　Jian Ming was in high spirits, he didn’t want to guess the purpose of his mother’s call anymore, and rolled into the bed with Bai Youyou.
