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

"Mom, what should we do now?"

Liu Yifei looked at Liu Xiaoli with pleading eyes.

Although she is now a mother, she is still not 20 years old.

"Do nothing."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head slightly and said one word firmly: "Wait!"

"wait?"

Liu Yifei looked at her mother with a puzzled expression.

"That's right!"

Liu Xiaoli nodded, looking at Liu Yifei with a serious expression: "We have no other options right now. Even if we hold a press conference, it will only be to admit that the child exists, and the situation will not be any better than it is now."

Liu Xiaoli didn't reveal the deeper reason.

She was waiting for Lin Bufan to give his opinion.

Yes, Lin Bufan is not in the country right now, but she knows he will soon find out what's happening there.

Whether or not to acknowledge the child depends entirely on Lin Bufan's attitude.

If Lin Bufan doesn't want to admit it publicly, nothing Liu Yifei says will make a difference; she'll only humiliate herself.

On the contrary, if Lin Bufan wanted to admit it, he didn't need Liu Yifei to step in and resolve it.

……

When the news of Liu Yifei's pregnancy and childbirth for Lin Bufan shocked the entertainment industry, the women who had been involved with Lin Bufan were all stunned.

"Sister Dong Xuan, are you alright...?"

Filming of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" was suspended due to Lin Bufan's absence. Dong Xuan was studying the script at home when she accidentally learned of this news online.

"I'm fine..."

Dong Xuan waved to her assistant, her expression somewhat complicated.

She had known for a long time that Lin Bufan had other women, but she never expected that Liu Yifei was among them, let alone that Liu Yifei would have given birth to Lin Bufan's child.

Now, Dong Xuan faces only one question: whether or not to continue her relationship with Lin Bufan.

"separate?"

As soon as the thought crossed Dong Xuan's mind, she shook her head and gave up on the idea.

Back when she was with Lin Bufan, he was still an unknown, an ordinary student. Over the years, she had grown accustomed to being with Lin Bufan.

She was reluctant and unwilling to leave Lin Bufan.

He said this is his home, so he will come back, he definitely will...

Dong Xuan glanced at the villa and silently cheered herself up.

It's just having a baby. We're all women, who can't give birth?

Compared to Dong Xuan, Chen Zihan accepted it much better because she already knew about it. Now she only had one thought in her mind, which was to hurry up and have a child for Lin Bufan as soon as possible.

Only in this way can everyone start from the same starting line again.

"He had a child with someone else..."

When Wan Qian from Shanghai heard the news, she was completely stunned.

One second she was happy for Lin Bufan, happy that he won the Academy Award for Best Director, but in the blink of an eye, the news came like a landslide and a tsunami.

The other women, who had only had some friendships with Lin Bufan, lamented how wonderful it would have been if they had gotten pregnant with his child when they were playing together.

"Should we continue?"

In a large, single-level apartment in Beijing, Fan Bingbing's expression was somewhat complicated.

When she finished filming her scenes for "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate," she had a relationship with Lin Bufan that very night, all for the sake of the future.

But now, when she learned that Liu Yifei was pregnant with Lin Bufan's child, she hesitated.

She wasn't sure if she could snatch Lin Bufan away from Liu Yifei.

Men and women in the industry are also discussing this matter extensively.

Some people envy Liu Yifei. Lin Bufan is now an Oscar-winning director. Liu Yifei, having gained status through her son, is now the director's wife.

Previously, Liu Yifei was in a class of her own in the industry, and later she became someone many people could only look up to.

Some conspiracy theorists even maliciously speculated that Liu Yifei must have used some means to have a child with Lin Bufan.

"She actually gave birth..."

Upon seeing this news, Hu Ge, from Tangren Media, was completely lost in thought.

When they collaborated on "Chinese Paladin", he had feelings for Liu Yifei, but Liu Yifei's mother, Liu Xiaoli, kept a close eye on her and didn't give him a chance to pursue her.

In the days that followed, Hugo often wondered if he might have another chance in the future.

But now, after learning that Liu Yifei was pregnant and had given birth, all his fantasies vanished.

"Old Hu, what's going on with you?"

Cai Yinong passed by the lounge and saw Hu Ge with the door open. Hu Ge looked absent-minded and walked in with some confusion.

"Sister K, I'm fine."

Hu Ge snapped out of his daze, looked at Cai Yinong, and shook his head.

"Take a look at this script and get ready. You'll be playing the male lead," Cai Yinong said, handing the script of "Strange Tales of Liaozhai" to Hu Ge.

It has to be said that ever since Hu Ge signed with Tangren Media, Cai Yinong has treated him even better than his own younger brother.

Without exception, all the male leads in Tangren's productions have been played by Hu Ge.

Unless he doesn't want to act, no one can beat him to it.

"Okay, Sister K, I'll watch the show as soon as I get back."

Hu Ge took the script, then looked at Cai Yinong, who seemed a bit travel-worn, and asked in confusion, "Sister K, where have you been all this time?"

"I went to the Beijing Dance Academy to see if there were any promising talents."

Cai Yinong's eyes brightened as he spoke: "In a while, I'll introduce you to a junior sister. You can mentor her then."

"Okay, K-sister, I understand."

Hu Ge nodded without asking any further questions.

Cai Yinong turned around and returned to his office with a smile on his face.

She must have heard about Liu Yifei's situation, now that it's become such a big deal.

When filming "Chinese Paladin", Tangren Media intended to sign Liu Yifei. Not only Tangren Media, but Huayi Brothers also had this idea.

However, Liu's mother did not agree at the time.

But if that were all, it would be fine. The most outrageous thing was that, in order to obtain resources from both sides, Liu's mother made reckless promises to the two companies.

This resulted in completely offending both companies.

Since then, Cai Yinong has been trying to find an actress in the entertainment industry who can replace Liu Yifei, but he has not been able to find one.

A few days ago, when Cai Yinong went to the Beijing Dance Academy to audition, he happened to meet a woman named Liu Shishi, whose appearance and temperament were somewhat similar to Liu Yifei.

She was immediately interested and wanted to sign with them.

She had it all planned out: she would use "Little Liu Yifei" as the promotional slogan, riding on Liu Yifei's popularity to help Liu Shishi debut.

But now, Liu Yifei's career has collapsed; she's pregnant out of wedlock. This is a perfect opportunity for her to push Liu Shishi out and seize Liu Yifei's resources.
