73: You Can't Win

You Can't Win

"Dinner banquet?" Ji Shiting received a phone call from his grandpa. "Grandpa, have you been feeling lonely recently?"1

"I've always been lonely!" Grandpa Ji wasn't happy. "Didn't you promise to find me a granddaughter-in-law? I'm trying to give you a chance! I've sent invitations to all the rich ladies in Yang City for this banquet. There must be someone you like, right?"

Ji Shiting thought for a bit, then he smiled and said, "Okay. Give me a couple of invitations too. I'll send them to my business partners."

"Sure," said Grandpa Ji. "But let me tell you something. The main purpose of this banquet is to get you a wife. Don't just focus on business!"

Ji Shiting stroked his forehead and said, "I'll try my best."

"Okay." Grandpa Ji was satisfied. "Come back early tomorrow night. Even if there are any pressing matters, just postpone them!"

"Alright." Ji Shiting hung up the phone and drummed his fingers on the desk.

This was a habit of his.

He didn't know whether this idea of his grandfather's was because of Xie Siqi.

What was that woman trying to do?

Elsewhere, Ye Shengge stayed in Ming Building for days, pouring over the script.

Even her daily three meals were sent over by Lin Qi.

Shang Tianyi was in charge of the company, so she didn't need to worry about it. However, she still made some calls to the Ye family.

No one picked up the first few times and Ye Shengge could imagine how desperate those three people were.

However, someone picked up the phone today. It was Ye Siyan.

"Sister Shengge." Ye Siyan's tone sounded high and mighty.

"Yes, it's me." Ye Shengge smiled. "What's your plan concerning the contract? Do you want to have it continue?"

"No, I won't fulfill my end of the contract." She said smugly. "Of course, I won't give you ten million for breaking the contract either."

Ye Shengge was dazed. "Are you going to pay me twenty million in court?"

"Go ahead and sue me!" Ye Siyan laughed. "But let me tell you. You won't win! Hahaha!"

Ye Siyan then hung up the phone.

That phone call in the afternoon was from a butler who called himself Uncle Jin. He had informed Ye Siyan that the Ji family's dinner tonight was to pick a wife for Ji Shiting. It was also mentioned that the Ji family's old master loved her and thought highly of her, so he would try his best to give her a chance.

What did that mean? It meant that she would become Ji Shiting's wife very soon! She wouldn't need to be afraid of a mere contract. As long as she married into the Ji family, any top-notch resources in the entertainment world would be at her disposal!

Ye Siyan blushed. She didn't know why she was so lucky, but she would never let this chance go.

Ye Shengge was a bit surprised by the busy tone.

What had made her so fearless?

Although she said she was going to sue them, it would take her too long to go to court. She didn't have that much time, so she had to give up if the Ye family refused to compromise.

The studio that was cooperating with T.S. Corporation might have less initial investments, but it didn't matter as she could still get more.

Thinking of that, Ye Shengge shoved aside her thoughts and went to the script meeting for 'Xue Ning'.
