Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets

According to industry practice, the editing process of a film, from material preparation, rough cut, fine cut, final cut and locking, to the final color grading and dubbing, the film director has three free revision rights: two for rough cut and one for fine cut.

However, this rule never held true for Shen Zhiyi.

Because she always made unconditional redoes in the past, Hsu Che-sheng even forgot that there was such a bottom line in the industry.

The contract he just presented was purely something he made up in a moment of desperation.

When the two were inseparable, Shen Zhiyi would do whatever he said, and he never thought of exploiting her in a place like this.

But now...

If he hires someone else, he will have to reprice the project and pay a hefty salary!

The team wasn't top-notch in editing at first, but under Shen Zhiyi's guidance, they have now become one of the best in China.

According to market rates, he would have to spend at least 1.5 million! This is the real reason why he shamelessly came to find Shen Zhiyi.

Unexpectedly, she is now demanding money from him in a straightforward manner.

Xu Zhesheng gripped the doorframe tighter, his knuckles turning white. A surge of anger rushed to his head, and he blurted out, "Don't you have Lu Zichuan as your sugar daddy now? The things he casually buys for you cost more than this. Why are you arguing with me like this?"

These words were extremely harsh and full of malicious speculation.

Shen Zhiyi didn't even bother to give him a second glance.

She stopped talking nonsense, directly closed the door, and completely ignored his hand that was still stuck in the crack of the door.

He deserved to get caught.

She pulled back with all her might.

Caught off guard, Xu Zhesheng's hand was suddenly pinched, and the sharp pain made his face turn bright red instantly. He groaned and instinctively pulled his hand back.

"Shen Zhiyi, you..."

Before he could finish his roar, all that answered him was a loud bang.

The door was slammed shut, making the door frame tremble.

He shook his hand, enduring the pain, while frantically pounding on the door with his other hand: "Shen Zhiyi! You come out here! I haven't finished speaking! You have to cut out a version for me today! Do you hear me?!"

However, no matter how much he clapped until his palms ached, all he received in response was the cold security door.

Just then, his phone rang.

When I took it out, I saw it was Su Manman.

He irritably pressed the reject button. During this time, Su Manman had been watching him more closely than a prisoner.

No matter where he went, she clung to him like a leech.

She either had to wait downstairs like she did at noon today, or she had to follow him directly, even if he was just going downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes, she had to follow him every step of the way.

It's incredibly annoying.

He had finally managed to shake her off and sneak out, but before an hour had even passed, she started calling him incessantly.

After the call was disconnected, Xu Zhesheng thought he could finally have some peace and quiet.

To everyone's surprise, Su Manman went berserk, bombarding the phone with calls one after another, causing the screen to flash wildly and making it impossible to unlock.

Xu Zhesheng knew in his heart that if he didn't answer, she could call him in his next life, until his phone ran out of battery, until he had to kneel back home.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and pressed the answer button.

"Xu Zhesheng! Where the hell have you been?! I only took a short nap, and you dared to sneak out?! And you even dared to hang up on me!"

As soon as the call connected, Su Manman's sharp curses pierced his eardrums like steel needles.

The constant questioning pushed his already agitated nerves to the brink of collapse.

"I just came out to buy something..." he lied weakly, rubbing his temples.

He knew that if he raised his voice even slightly, she could tear the roof off right there and then.

He really didn't want to argue with her, so he could only make up an excuse, "I saw you were sleeping so soundly that I didn't want to wake you. I'll be right back."

"Buying something?" Su Manman sneered, her voice tinged with suspicion. "I asked my mom, and she said you've been out for almost an hour! What could possibly take so long to buy? Xu Zhesheng, have you been secretly seeing other women behind my back? Let me tell you, you won't get rid of me!"

Since deciding to get married, Su Manman has been referring to herself as "Mrs. Xu".

She not only moved into Xu Zhesheng and Shen Zhiyi's former marital home without permission, but also forcibly stuffed her own belongings into the master bedroom.

The room that originally belonged to Shen Zhiyi was given to her mother.

The ostensible reason given was to have his mother come and take care of the illegitimate child whose father was unknown, and to look after the two of them. In reality, it was to plant spies to monitor his every move around the clock.

The mother and daughter of the Su family were both afraid that their golden son-in-law would fly away.

As Xu Zhesheng listened to the incessant questioning on the other end of the phone, he suppressed the urge to smash the phone and continued to coax her gently, "No, I didn't even drive the car. Go check the garage; isn't my car still parked there?"

"I just came out to buy something. I saw a stray cat on the way, lingered for a while, and then went back immediately."

"Really?" Su Manman asked, half believing it.

But through the receiver, Xu Zhesheng could clearly hear her getting up, changing her shoes, and walking into the elevator.

He held his breath, afraid to make a sound.

Only after Su Manman confirmed with her own eyes that his car was indeed still parked in the garage did her tone soften slightly: "Fine, you know what's good for you!"

"But instead of wasting your time teasing stray cats, why don't you come back and comfort this child! All he does is cry, cry, cry, it's giving me a headache, it's so annoying to watch!"

Xu Zhesheng sneered inwardly, wanting to ask, "This isn't my child, what right do I have to interfere?"

But he knew better than anyone that as soon as he said those words, Su Manman would definitely explode on the spot, causing chaos throughout the entire neighborhood.

He covered the phone to try and quiet Su Manman's voice, then resignedly replied, "Okay, I understand. I'll be right back. I'll talk to you later."

Su Manman made this call purely to confirm that he hadn't cheated on her; she didn't care at all what he was doing.

After receiving an affirmative answer, she grunted in response, and then imperiously ordered, "I want to eat durian, the imported kind. Buy it for me on your way."

Xu Zhesheng's hand, gripping the phone, bulged with veins, his knuckles white from clenching it. In the end, he could only squeeze out two words through gritted teeth:

"it is good."

Only after receiving a positive answer did Su Manman hang up the phone, satisfied.

Xu Zhesheng gripped the sides of his phone tightly, gritting his teeth.

He couldn't stand Su Manman, but he was helpless.

He had no way to deal with Shen Zhiyi.

Moreover, he now has an illegitimate daughter, as well as a free editor and marital assets that he will lose for nothing.

Life seems to have suddenly become very difficult.

He grabbed a handful of hair, then knocked on the tightly closed door again, and as expected, there was no response.

He lowered his hand dejectedly, glancing at the hand that had been pinched earlier. Because Shen Zhiyi had used too much force, his hand was now red and swollen.

In the past, if he had ever bumped or bruised himself, she would have rushed over to ask him what was wrong immediately.

But just now, she pressed his hand down with her own, without even blinking.
