Chapter 199 Love is in crisis again
Ye Yan's audition in Hollywood went smoothly, and the character's characteristics seemed to be tailor-made for him.
Although he has some unspeakable opinions on the styling, it does not affect the visual effect, which is really pleasing to the eye. It is even more stunning under the high-definition camera without beauty filter.
The producers were very satisfied with his performance, so the only thing left for him to star in a Hollywood blockbuster was his approval and signing of the contract.
This is a good thing. He is strong-willed, so even though he was initially reluctant to make an English film, he agreed after careful consideration.
Just as Tan Zhuoxi said, no matter how dissatisfied Xu Qingran's family is with his identity as an artist, if he reaches a height that will impress Lin Anyi and Xu Rong, it must feel great to see those who look down on him get slapped in the face.
To thank him for joining, the great director John invited him to have coffee together, accompanied by the two bosses of the film production company.
It was still Tan Zhuoxi who socialized for him with ease. He occasionally responded with a smile. Since he didn't drink coffee, he kept holding a fork to taste various snacks. He was full after an afternoon tea.
Just when he was worrying about how long these foreigners would talk to him, his cell phone rang.
"Sorry I have a phone call."
After seeing that the caller ID showed that it was a domestic call, Ye Yan greeted the people present, then stood up and left to find a quiet place to answer the phone.
"Hello, who is this?" It was an unfamiliar number. If his waist hadn't been sore from sitting, he definitely wouldn't have answered it.
"I'm Xu Rong. I heard you're in New York. Do you have time to chat?"
The voice coming from the phone, even though unfamiliar, made him lose his comfort in an instant.
Ye Yan's face froze for a moment, and she subconsciously looked back at Tan Zhuoxi's back. After making sure that he was not paying attention to her, she quietly walked to an empty seat with no guests and sat down.
"Boss Lin has already contacted me before. What else do you want to discuss?"
Xu Rong called him, and Ye Yan couldn't think of any other possibility except to talk about something related to Xu Qingran.
But this time he was not so nervous, but more curious about whether they had given up.
Because he had already won, and he firmly believed that Xu Qingran would not let him down again. Even if Xu Rong and Lin Anyi could never accept them, there would be no possibility of his relationship with Xu Qingran being severed.
"What else can we talk about? Of course, it's about you and Qingran. Recently, a reporter from a gossip studio contacted me and wanted to sell me some interesting stuff. I didn't want to get involved in your mess with that brat, but then I thought about it. After all, he is still a member of the Xu family and he is my son. I can't bear the shame of him doing something shameful outside, so I had to accept it and let that paparazzi make a fortune. You guys are really careless."
It turned out to be about the incident of being secretly photographed in Haicheng. After knowing the truth, Ye Yan's face finally relaxed a little.
He thought Xu Rong was going to say something unpleasant to affect his mood, but now it seems he was worrying too much.
"Well, I'm really sorry to have cost you so much. We've contacted them many times, but there's been no response. Maybe they think you're richer, so they're going to your place. How much did they ask for? Do you want me to split the bill?"
Ye Yan said politely that because of their previous attitude towards him, he still couldn't help but be reserved when facing them.
This is normal. No one can politely call "uncle" or "auntie" or "uncle" to the person who is trying so hard to break them up.
Unless the other party shows goodwill to him first and is determined to reconcile.
He thought Xu Rong just wanted to reprimand him and tell them to be careful about their words and actions outside. After all, given the Xu family's status, it was normal for them not to want to be the topic of conversation among people in the circle.
He was prepared to be lectured by Xu Rong without retorting, but as a public figure, he had the audacity to date his boyfriend on the street. He was indeed wrong.
The weather in New York is very good today, and the sun is shining brightly outside the window. Ye Yan didn't expect that the warmth that fell on his face would disappear in the next second.
"That's not necessary, because the person who took your photo also gave me a small gift, which made me feel that spending this money was worth it. It doesn't matter. What I want to say is, Ye Yan, you should break up with Qing Ran. If you are willing to do so, your life and career will still be wonderful. Otherwise, I can't guarantee anything."
Suddenly it turned into a message of persuasion to break up, and the timing was inexplicable.
So after thinking about it for so long, you still can't figure it out, or you are unwilling to accept them.
Ye Yan started to get annoyed again. She exhaled as calmly as possible, glanced out the window, and spoke in a cold tone.
"If Xu Qingran knew you were threatening me, do you think he would not turn the Xu family upside down out of respect for our father-son relationship?"
"It doesn't matter. I just want him to have a normal life and a positive future. Family members don't hold grudges overnight. Remember this. I'm very busy. I hope you listen to me. I'll give you a week to break up with Qing Ran. Otherwise, I'll let you know how the confidence I have in negotiating with you today will bring you down from the altar and leave you with nothing."
Xu Rong hung up the phone first. Ye Yan just held up the phone and looked out the window at the blond passers-by chatting and laughing on the street. He was so angry that his heart ached and he couldn't recover for a long time.
So what was the gift the paparazzi gave him?
When Ye Yan realized this, he had already finished his social event and returned to the hotel. He wanted to call Xu Qingran to ask him if he knew that the paparazzi had sold the photos to his father.
But then I thought, if he knew, he would have informed him long ago.
He still has to stay in New York for about a week, and Xu Rong gave him exactly one week's deadline. Does this mean that he doesn't want him to return home in a decent manner?
Ye Yan himself is a person who is prone to worrying about everything, and his arrogance in front of others is all an illusion.
He was very annoyed and used his fork to scratch the steak on the plate in front of him. White rice was not to his taste, and steak was the only dish he could eat in this hotel.
He couldn't find a solution, so he poked the steak on the plate into pieces. Then, as if to vent his anger, he picked up his phone and called Xu Qingran.
It is now eight o'clock in the evening in the United States, and it should be dawn in China.
He waited for 20 seconds, but Xu Qingran didn't answer the phone. He was already in a bad mood and became even more annoyed. He hung up the phone with a snap and threw it on the table.
There was a long silence until the steak was completely cold.
"What kind of information could he get from the paparazzi that could threaten me? That's probably what he meant by a gift worth his money..."
"What can I be afraid of... The most frightening thing is... Impossible! Xu Qingran said that the photos were cleared up, and Wu Qiong is in jail. How could a gossip media possibly get hold of them?"
He thought for a long time and the only thing that could threaten him was that. But even if that thing got out, there would be no photos. As long as there were no photos, what was he afraid of?
The negatives from that year were taken back by Pei Sujun and then destroyed by him personally. The negatives in Wu Qiong's hands were also cleared out by Xu Qingran like a house raider.
So it is impossible for him to have another one, unless Pei Sujun and Xu Qingran have a trick up their sleeve to betray him.
Yet he was certain that neither man would betray him.
Thinking of this, he suddenly seemed to no longer worry, because apart from those photos that could make him socially dead, he didn't seem to have any secrets that could not be made public, and even if he did, he would not care.
"You can't blame me for sowing discord between their parents and children this time." Ye Yan thought to himself.
How could there be such adventurous parents who knew exactly what kind of person Xu Qingran was but still refused to believe it?
However, he also wanted to see what tricks Xu Rong had left, and whether they were better than Lin Anyi's. It would be even better if he could make Xu Qingran so angry that he gave up his family business and ran away from home.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He comforted himself and picked up the steak from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth. Unfortunately, it was cold and a little hard to chew.
In the next few days, Ye Yan discussed the script with the film company and other leading actors, as well as whether to sign a long-term contract or a single contract.
He was thinking about this matter seriously and was very busy. In addition, there was a time difference and he was temporarily disconnected from the country. He only had time to reply to the messages he received the day before at night.
Xu Qingran: How is the role? Is it a character you haven't challenged before?
Ye Yan: It's okay, it's the third vampire man, the rest is confidential for now. I will be back next Tuesday, remember to ask Auntie to change my sheets and pillowcases.
Xu Qingran: I understand. No need, Auntie. I will change it for you myself (evil expression)
After Xu Qingran replied to Ye Yan's message from the day before, he turned off the screen with satisfaction. Qiao Lin happened to tell him that he had received information from the boss of Mingyu Weekly, saying that there seemed to be some trouble and that the studio was now deserted and closed down.
However, the other party's address was also found out by the people from Tiandao Society, and Xu Qingran planned to go there in person.
After Ye Yan went to New York, he moved back to his own house. Qiao Lin came to pick him up early in the morning and took him to the residence of the boss of Mingyu Weekly.
He didn't bring any extra people with him, just two assistants from the company. He wanted to see the other party's attitude first. If they didn't cooperate, he could use special measures later.
A nanny came to open the door. Because the owner of the house had avoided giving any explanation for more than half a month, Xu Qingran had already lost his patience and walked in with a murderous aura around him.
He came with the determination to deal with all the troubles at once, and had no intention of exchanging ideas with others. His aura was intimidating.
However, when Xu Qingran walked into the living room, the man who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea gave him a blow to the head. The scene that could be called a thriller froze him in place.
"Okay, if someone hadn't sent me the evidence, I wouldn't have believed it. Our Xu family really had a scum who ran off to become a gangster just for a man!"
