The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 222 Conversation
Li Xue actually behaved very restrainedly, neither flattering nor trying to attract attention; at most, she was straightforward to the point of being blunt.

For example, when Xu Jiuyang sometimes asked her, "There's no script to study today, why did you still come?" she would answer without hesitation: "I wanted to eat chicken."

Therefore, coupled with her frequent visits to make her presence known, and not wanting to say anything harsh, Xu Jiuyang could only avoid her.

I shouldn't have given her my address in the first place.

It's quite interesting, though. You know, even Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Bingbing wouldn't be so blatantly clinging to him. If we're going to make a comparison... perhaps it's a bit like the story I heard in my past life about Dong Jie throwing herself at Liang Chaowei?
To be honest, if she hadn't acted so submissively, he would have almost called Angela: How do you manage your subordinates?

It should be noted that neither Zhang Junning, Hao Lei, nor Tang Wei have ever acted in this manner.

Of course, it's also possible that they feel doing this is pointless, because...

"It's mainly because of Xiaoli's vitamins, right?" Xu Jiuyang thought to himself.

It's quite strange, though. That stuff is good for adding to the fun, but that's about it. Everyone who's used it is so obsessed with it... If Sister Xiaoli hadn't repeatedly assured him and said he could verify it anytime, he would have really started to think about it in some ways.

At this point, his attention involuntarily shifted to his own daughter. Just a few days ago, when he met Xiaoli, she gave him some photos of his second daughter. The chubby little thing was so adorable that he really wanted to hold her in his arms and cherish her.

This was the first time Xu Jiuyang had a child in both his lifetimes, so naturally he loved him dearly.

Well, anyway, I don't need to get up in the dark every night to take care of her.

Looking at her eyebrows, she vaguely resembles Liu Yifei, but she also has his features. She will definitely be a beauty when she grows up.

"So, now I don't have to earn money to support my girlfriend anymore, but I have to earn money to support my daughter." Xu Jiuyang sighed, wondering when he would be able to hold her in his arms.

But given the current situation, it's highly unlikely that this will happen for a long time, and... she might only be able to use the name Liu Yangyang from now on.

Just then, Lee Yoon-hyung came downstairs with her sister Lee Boo-jin: "Sorry, Jiu Yang oppa, we kept you waiting."

"Do I need to apologize for something like this?" Xu Jiuyang composed himself and stepped forward to pat her head.

Although he has become a scumbag, he still has some bottom lines. For example, when facing this woman, he will never think about other women.

“Thank you for taking care of Yunxin for us, Mr. Xu.” Lee Boo-jin then extended her hand.

"Unnie!" Lee Yoon-hyung called out unhappily.

“Okay, thank you for taking care of Yunxin, Jiuyang.” Lee Boo-jin changed her form of address.

“Actually, it should be Yunxin taking care of me.” Xu Jiuyang shook hands with her.

Despite his previous worries about how to face the Li family if they found out, he remained composed and dignified when the time came.

Regardless, Li Yunxin has been quite sincere towards me, so I can't lose face.

So during their subsequent conversations, he would occasionally offer his opinions or, following Li Yunxin's lead, discuss the prospects of the IC industry. Of course, he only talked about it a little; any more and he would have revealed his ignorance.

Interestingly, whenever Lee Boo-jin tries to subtly inquire about his family situation, Lee Yoon-hyung always changes the subject at just the right moment, perhaps worried that his sister might try to trick him into revealing information.

Xu Jiuyang felt it was completely unnecessary. If Samsung really wanted to investigate, they would definitely find out what was going on with their own company. Besides, the old man was the type who would respond better to gentle persuasion than force. He would most likely agree if you spoke kindly, but if you tried to intimidate him, that would be exciting.

At worst, they can just move to the countryside. Those people from back then still look up to him.

After lunch, Xu Jiuyang naturally prepared to go back. With New Year's Eve approaching, it was time for him to return home.

"Don't worry, you know I still have work here, and I might have to come back before the 15th." He said this to Li Yunxin when they parted.

"I know, be careful on the road." Li Yunxin nodded, and then, in front of her sister, she tiptoed and gently kissed him on the cheek.

Honestly… Xu Jiuyang pretended that Li Fuzhen wasn’t there, kissed her forehead back, and then walked outside, deliberately slowing down his pace.

Then, as expected, when they arrived at the villa's front yard and received the car keys from the duty secretary, Kim Hyun-joo, Lee Boo-jin's voice rang out: "Mr. Seo."

Xu Jiuyang sighed inwardly, and after watching Kim Hyun-joo bow and leave, he slowly turned around: "Is there anything I can do for you, Miss Boo-jin?"

After a pause, he continued, "If you want to say something like 'Please leave my sister,' I'm sorry, I can't make that decision. Also, please don't do anything like taking a check; it's too much like a Korean drama and seems a bit fake."

This witty remark didn't make Lee Boo-jin laugh. She frowned slightly as she looked at him, her lips pressed into a thin line, looking preoccupied.

Xu Jiuyang sighed and said, "I think Miss Fu Zhen can understand these two sentences in Chinese, right?"

“I thought Mr. Xu wouldn’t have been distracted during our conversation,” Lee Boo-jin said, her voice cold yet delivered in Chinese, giving her a slightly comical accent.

“Now we can be certain that I wasn’t distracted at the time,” Xu Jiuyang retorted immediately, not giving the other person any leeway.

As a reborn person, I had heard plenty of the dirty deeds of the Samsung Li family in my previous life.

Lee Boo-jin didn't get angry. She silently looked at him for a long while before sighing softly, "I had a lot to say, but now that it's here, I feel there's no need to say anything at all. So, I only have one question, Mr. Seo, how will you treat Yoon-hyung in the future?"

Xu Jiuyang shook his head: "The problem is not with me, but with Yunxin. As long as she needs me, I will naturally do my best to help her. If she no longer needs me, I will leave quietly."

Lee Boo-jin frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer, but ultimately only said, "Father wouldn't want to see this happen."

Xu Jiuyang continued to shake his head: "Unfortunately, Mr. Lee Kun-hee does not have much influence in this matter."

"Do you really think that Yunxin's little tantrums can...can change Father's mind?" Lee Boo-jin pursed her lips again, seemingly a little angry. "You're pushing her into a fire pit!"

“At first, I tried to persuade her, but she proved herself later,” Xu Jiuyang shrugged. “When I gave her advice, I didn’t think she could actually get out. Even if I had known her identity at the time, I wouldn’t have changed my mind. But what I didn’t expect was that she not only did it, but did it very well.”

He gazed at her: "Yunxin doesn't need to use abnormal means to fight for her freedom and interests. If once doesn't work, try twice; if twice doesn't work, try three times. As long as she keeps trying, quantitative changes will eventually lead to qualitative changes."

Lee Boo-jin finally blushed a little; not only did her cheeks turn pink, but she also struggled to maintain her indifferent expression.

However, Xu Jiuyang did not provoke her further, and instead got into the car parked at the door: "In any case, I hope Miss Fuzhen will not make things difficult for Yunxin. Even if you do not agree with what she has done, do not try to stop her. After all, you are her sister."

After saying that, he waved his hand, closed the car door, started the engine with the car key, and drove away.
