The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

"Sissi, tell Mom, do you really believe him?"

After Lin Bufan left, Liu Xiaoli looked at Liu Yifei with a solemn expression.

The so-called conditions were just Liu Xiaoli's way of saying she was unwilling to let the other party get their way. No one knows a daughter better than her mother, and she understood her daughter's personality very well.

My daughter seems obedient and well-behaved, but if she really makes a decision, I can't change it.

"I have no idea……"

For a fleeting moment, a hint of confusion flashed in Liu Yifei's eyes.

She couldn't quite explain her feelings for him. Before she decided to tell Lin Bufan, she had already decided that she would have the child.

Regardless, the child is innocent.

She knew that if she aborted the child, she would definitely regret it in the future.

The reason Lin Bufan was informed and summoned was because he is the child's biological father, and he has the right to know about this matter.

She had another idea in mind: if Lin Bufan behaved poorly and lacked a sense of responsibility after arriving, she would tell him that she had aborted the child and then secretly give birth to the baby.

After some testing, Lin Bufan proved to be more responsible and dependable than he had imagined, and that was enough.

Of course, it cannot be denied that Liu Yifei had a slight affection for Lin Bufan, otherwise she would not have gone to drink with Lin Bufan with Yang Mi in the first place.

"I remember, back in the 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' crew, Lin Bufan and the girl named Chen Zihan who played Guo Fu seemed to have an ambiguous relationship." Liu Xiaoli paused and looked at Liu Yifei.

At first, Liu Xiaoli didn't recognize him because of her emotional state, mainly because the other person's position in the crew at that time was dispensable and not that important.

But after Liu Yifei's explanation, Liu Xiaoli remembered the other person.

"Mom, do you think Chen Zihan is prettier, or am I?"

Liu Yifei looked at Liu Xiaoli with a confident expression.

If it weren't for this child, Liu Yifei might not have chosen to have any relationship with Lin Bufan, even if she had a slight liking for him, she wouldn't have become a mistress.

But things are different now. She's pregnant with Lin Bufan's child, and she has to fight for it for the sake of the child.

"Why……"

Liu Xiaoli sighed and shook her head slightly. She didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to indulge Liu Yifei like this.

…………

"Send someone to investigate. His name is Lin Bufan."

Back at the company, Chen Jinfei grew angrier the more he thought about it. Not long after, he received a call from Liu Xiaoli, who told him Lin Bufan's name and some basic information. He then gave her instructions.

"Yes, Mr. Chen!"

Money makes the world go round, and Chen Jinfei, with his billions in assets, could easily investigate Lin Bufan.

"Mr. Chen, the investigation has been completed. Lin Bufan was born in 84, is 21 years old this year, and is a student in the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy, class of 02. His mentor is Tian Zhuangzhuang..."

In less than three hours, the secretary had gathered the basic information about Lin Bufan and returned to report to Chen Jinfei.

"So, Lin Bufan's parents are just ordinary archaeologists?"

Chen Jinfei looked at his secretary.

"Yes, Mr. Chen."

The secretary nodded. "According to the information we've gathered, yes."

"snort!"

Chen Jinfei snorted coldly and waved to his secretary.

"You think an ordinary directing student like you dares to offend me? Watch how I deal with you."

Chen Jinfei had already decided that he would make a good fool of Lin Bufan.

With his abilities, he could easily assemble several film crews, have someone invest in the production under a pseudonym, find Lin Bufan to direct, and then kick him aside once the production was ready.

After this happened several times, Chen Jinfei became confident that Lin Bufan would kneel before him and apologize.

The greatest torment you can inflict on a person is to give them hope, only to then take it away.

"Hmph, this is the price you pay for calling me Old Deng."

……

"Yang Mi, didn't you go back?"

When Lin Bufan returned from the hospital, he saw Yang Mi sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV, wearing a white tank top.

It was already afternoon, and he thought Yang Mi had gone home after lunch.

"Lin Bufan, you're back."

Upon seeing Lin Bufan enter the room, Yang Mi's eyes lit up instantly, and she jumped up from the sofa to greet him.

"Tell me quickly, who's pregnant?"

Yang Mi looked at Lin Bufan with a gossipy expression.

From the moment Lin Bufan left home in the morning, Yang Mi began to make wild guesses in her mind.

However, no matter how she guessed, she couldn't figure out who was pregnant. Moreover, judging from Lin Bufan's expression and tone when he answered the phone, as well as his demeanor when he left the house, Yang Mi felt that it had nothing to do with him.

If that's the case, then this melon tastes even better.

"Honey, you want to know too much!"

Lin Bufan glared at Yang Mi. He was joking; how could he possibly tell her about this?

Once she finds out, with her big mouth, it probably won't be long before it gets out.

"Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone!"

Yang Mi looked at Lin Bufan and raised her right hand to swear an oath.

"You? Forget it!"

Lin Bufan gave Yang Mi a disdainful look.

If oaths were effective, Yang Mi would have been struck by lightning long ago. From childhood to adulthood, she has never been able to keep a secret.

"This time it's for real, and I definitely won't tell anyone."

Yang Mi looked at Lin Bufan with sincerity and eagerness.

"Is Uncle Yang back?"

Lin Bufan changed the subject and looked at Yang Mi.

"I'm back!"

Yang Mi was puzzled, but she answered truthfully nonetheless.

"That's fine!"

As Lin Bufan spoke, taking advantage of Yang Mi's inattention, he grabbed her by the collar and threw her out the door, then quickly closed the door.

"Lin Bufan, you bastard..."

With a loud bang, Yang Mi finally came to her senses and stomped her foot hard in frustration.

……

Lin Bufan lay on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling for a moment.

So much happened today. First, the system, which had been dormant for 18 years, was finally activated. Then, Liu Yifei became pregnant.

"Liu Yifei is pregnant, and it's my child..."

Lin Bufan muttered to himself.

"Oh, right, system..."

Upon thinking of the system, Lin Bufan immediately sat up.

Sitting on the sofa, he took out two bottles of body enhancement fluid from the dimensional space, along with the scripts for "Manchester by the Sea" and "Lust, Caution" and placed them on the table.

"I wonder how effective this body-enhancing fluid will be!"

Lin Bufan looked at the small glass bottle in front of him, then reached out, picked it up, opened the cap, and drank it all in one gulp.

As soon as the strengthening liquid entered my mouth, a warm current instantly flowed through my body, a feeling of comfort akin to soaking in a hot spring.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Bufan opened the second bottle of body enhancement liquid and drank it all in one gulp.

"What is that? It stinks!"

One minute later, Lin Bufan pinched his nose and realized that the odor was coming from his own body.
