Reborn in Russia as a Big Shot

Chapter 92 Father-in-law Released from Prison

Marina used to have no acting opportunities, but now she has a bunch of offers to choose from.

Besides the TV series, she also received a film offer, not a TV movie for DVD, but a movie that was actually going to be shown in theaters.

The transition from the small screen to the big screen may seem like a small step, but it's actually two different worlds. The biggest difference is that you have to buy a ticket to watch a movie, and once you spend the money, you start to weigh whether it was worth it.

No matter how many resources you accumulate, if your acting skills aren't recognized by the market, it won't help. But everything is difficult at the beginning, and Marina has taken the first step towards success.

Li Xiang is not in Russia.

Recently, Marina has been navigating the world of fame and fortune in Moscow, enjoying great success and becoming the center of attention wherever she goes.

However, Marina knew in her heart that she had earned this honor not because of herself, but simply because she was Li Xiang's girlfriend.

When it comes to tech upstarts, the Durov brothers' VK has a much higher commercial value than Shopee, but in Moscow, nobody cares about them.

There is only one thing that can make the people here bow their heads: power!

As for who exactly is behind Li Xiang's power, Marina hasn't figured it out yet, but there are rumors that it's the top oligarch, Potanin.

Some say it's Friedman's.

No matter who it is, there are very few people in all of Russia who could offset the negative impact of Khodorkovsky.

Cafe.

"I know you're busy. You just need to take a temporary position; you don't have to actually work there. We'll provide you with resources and even pay you a salary. Isn't that great?"

Popova approached Marina, hoping she would reconsider joining the Moscow Modern Theatre.

"We're old friends, so I won't hide it from you. I can only stay in Moscow for a few days because Li Xiang isn't in Russia. As soon as he comes back, I have to go back to St. Petersburg. I really don't have time to participate in the performance."

Marina still had some dissatisfaction with Popova.

Last year, she gave money to Popova in an attempt to join the Moscow Modern Theatre, but as a result, she was implicated by Li Xiang and neither got the position nor her money back.

I just promised Marina that if it didn't happen this year, there would be next year; we'll wait a little longer.

"I understand, I need to keep a close eye on such a great boyfriend."

"Actually, I didn't even want to mention the staffing issue. It was assigned by the leader, and I have to complete the task. Let's take a picture later to prove that I contacted you."

Popova tried to get closer to Marina, gossiping, "Has Domogarov contacted you recently? He's not doing so well these days."

"We haven't been in touch for a long time," Marina murmured with a smile. "I used to be obsessed with making movies, but now that I'm actually a leading lady, it's not all that great. All I want now is to have a child soon."

Marina and Popova finished their afternoon tea and went to the parking lot to get their car.

As soon as I opened the door and got in the car, a man wearing a black down jacket got into the passenger seat.

"Don't move." The down jacket had a hood, so her face wasn't clearly visible, but Marina could see that the other person had a gun.

"I'll get you the money," Marina said, raising her hands.

"Put your hand down. I'm just here to chat with you for a bit, then I'll leave."

"What are you going to talk about?" Marina slowly lowered her hands, her whole body tense.

"Did you know Li Xiang has a wife?"

"Who are you?" Marina was a little confused.

"Li Xiang's wife is my sister." Peter put away his gun and took off the hood of his down jacket. "My sister is about to have his second child, and you, on the other hand, are openly living in the Red Star Factory."

"Do you know you've come to see me, Li Xiang?" Marina asked knowingly.

Peter threatened, "He doesn't know that I sealed you in a concrete pillar, and he doesn't know that either."

"Don't try to scare me. If you really wanted to do something to me, you wouldn't be sitting here talking to me," Marina said truthfully. "Li Xiang never told me he was married, but I know he has children. You're Natasha's brother, right?"

"I am now giving you a serious warning: know your place. You are my brother-in-law's mistress. Even if you have a child in the future, it will be an illegitimate child. If you upset my sister, Li Xiang won't be able to protect you."

Peter opened the car door and got out, but then suddenly turned back, cursing, "Tell Li Xiang to find you a bodyguard. If you get kidnapped, I'll have to take care of you."

After saying that, Peter slammed the car door shut and left for good.

Marina locked the car door immediately and sat in the car for a while before she calmed down. She wanted to call Li Xiang, but after calculating the time difference, she didn't make the call.

In mid-December, Andrei was granted medical parole and released from the "Vologda Pentagram" prison, which is a special prison for serious offenders.

The prison gate.

Peter kept trying to call, but he couldn't get through each time.

"Where did Elena go? She's late for such an important day."

Dalia rolled her eyes at her silly nephew. "Mind your own business, why are you worrying about others?"

There were footsteps.

Peter and Dalia both looked at the prison's side gate, and after a dozen seconds, the gate opened.

The man who emerged wasn't some underworld tycoon, but just an ordinary middle-aged man.

"elder brother!"

Dalia was the first to go to greet them, and for a moment she couldn't hold back her tears.

After the siblings hugged, Andrei handed his son a bag containing personal belongings, frowning. "Why are you the only two here?"

Peter complained, "I've been urging Elena to come over for days, but she insisted she had time. Now look what's happened, she's not even answering her phone."

Dalia said, "The flight must be delayed; they're on the plane."

"Dad, get in the car, let's go first, ignore her."

Andrei stood there motionless, looking displeased, and asked, "Elena didn't come because her flight was late. Where's Li Xiang? Were they on the same flight?"

"Li Xiang went to the US, it's all Natasha's fault, she's been dragging her feet and not letting him come back." Peter blamed his father, "Dad, you can't hold a grudge against a pregnant woman, can you?"

"I still want to see the child," Andrei said.

Dalia chimed in, "You can video chat with them. Natasha and Li Xiang are waiting for you in the US. There's a time difference, and the whole family of three is staying up all night waiting for you. You're so proud!"

Andrei's expression finally improved a bit, and he slowly said, "Don't keep them waiting. Let's meet again when it's daytime there and the baby is awake. The pregnant woman also needs to rest well."

Peter breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Get in the car."

Miami.

"Get up, I'm going to video chat with my dad later."

Natasha and Li Xiang sleep in separate rooms, and she came over early in the morning.

Li Xiang stayed in bed, unwilling to get up. He opened his eyes, glanced at the clock, and complained, "Dalia said the video call was at nine, and it's not even six yet."

"This is your first time meeting my dad, you should at least tidy yourself up a bit, get up now."

"Okay, I'll get up."

Natasha instructed, "Put on the suit I bought for you."

"He's even wearing a suit in the video."

"First impressions are the most important!"
