Chapter 250 The Director Jiang Xing Was Looking For
"Brother, Jiang Yonghe hasn't contacted you, has she?" Jiang Zhao asked, sitting down by the bedside after his mother, Qin Yulian, left the ward.
Jiang Xing was taken aback and looked up from her phone screen. "I found it. It just sent me a message."
Jiang Zhao frowned. "Didn't I tell it not to bother you?"
He paused for a moment, then asked, "What does Jiang Yonghe want from you? Is she trying to play the victim again by saying she's about to be beaten to death by her father and get you to save her? I knew she was lying. If she were really beaten to death, how could she still be sending you messages!"
At this moment, the female employee who was chatting with Jiang Xing replied to the message.
[I don't know about that, but I think your sister probably hasn't found a director yet.]
Jiang Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
[OK, thanks]
The other end immediately replied:
You're welcome, Mr. Jiang. I'm happy to do this for you.
Jiang Xing did not reply to the past.
He knew exactly what she meant. Back when he was the president of Starlight Entertainment, he noticed that this female employee looked at him strangely. But every time she saw him before, she was very nervous.
Unexpectedly, now that I've left Starlight Entertainment, they actually have the courage to contact me.
Was it because he was down on his luck that this female employee felt she could take advantage of him?
Forget it, Jiang Xing didn't care what this female employee thought at all. The reason he chatted with her was just to find out about the situation after his sister Jiang Youli took over the company.
What is certain now is that after director Zhang Bufan was snatched away by Dafeng Entertainment, his sister Jiang Youli has not yet found a director, so he still has a chance!
Jiang Zhao, who was sitting by the hospital bed taking care of Jiang Xing, saw his older brother Jiang Xing chatting on his phone. He didn't say anything and just looked at his phone as well.
However, he wasn't chatting with anyone; he was looking at his sister Jiang Youli's WeChat Moments.
Today, my younger sister Jiang Youli did indeed post another update on her WeChat Moments.
[I'm so tired today. I accidentally fell asleep in the car. When I got home, Dad didn't wake me up. He actually waited for me for an hour! Waaah, the best dad in the world~]
From the text, Jiang Zhao could also tell how happy his younger sister, Jiang Youli, was after she got together with her uncle and aunt.
Jiang Zhao felt a pang of sadness; he also wished he could do these things for his sister, just like his uncle.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have that opportunity at all right now.
Jiang Zhao thought about it for a long time before finally giving the post a like.
Returning to the message page, he stared blankly at the chat window where he hadn't exchanged a single message with his sister, Jiang Youli, but still didn't have the courage to send her a message.
I'll find an opportunity to contact my sister sometime soon!
……
At night, the Qi family manor was enveloped in a tranquil atmosphere, like a sleeping giant.
The study was lit with soft, warm light.
Qi Huan and Old Master Qi sat facing each other, black and white chess pieces intertwined on the chessboard, a silent game was underway.
After placing a chess piece, Old Master Qi slowly raised his head and looked at Qi Huan opposite him. "I heard you sent your father to a sanatorium."
His voice was deep and authoritative.
Qi Huan remained expressionless, simply responding with a faint "Mm".
Old Master Qi stared intently at Qi Huan, seemingly trying to see through his calm exterior to his true thoughts. He pressed, "Why? Is it because he brought his illegitimate daughter home?"
Grandpa asked this question simply to say that the punishment of cutting expenses was enough for bringing back an illegitimate daughter, and it shouldn't be so severe as to put her in a nursing home.
Qi Huan's answer remained concise: "No."
Old Master Qi frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he continued to ask, "Then what is the reason?"
Qi Huan's eyes remained unmoved, and his voice was as calm as a lake: "Because Qi Yue is not my biological brother."
Grandpa Qi paused, his hand holding the white chess piece still. "Are you telling the truth?"
Qi Huan nodded, "Absolutely true."
Grandpa Qi was furious. He threw down the white chess piece in his hand and snorted coldly, "So, when that fortune teller said your brother would affect our fortune, it was all arranged by your father on purpose?"
Qi Huan remained noncommittal.
"Your father should spend the rest of his life in the sanatorium reflecting on his actions!" Old Master Qi wasn't actually that bothered by his son having illegitimate children, but he absolutely wouldn't allow his son to scheme against him in order to bring his illegitimate children back!
Who knows what his son might scheme against him for the sake of their illegitimate child? Maybe he'll even try to take his life!
Qi Tianxiang was indeed fearless, after all, he had already plotted to kill his own son!
After calming down, Grandpa Qi looked at his eldest grandson with guilt, "Is there any news about your younger brother?"
Regardless of the circumstances, it was because of my order that Qi Yue was sent away while still an infant, which gave Qi Tianxiang the opportunity to switch his illegitimate child with the real Qi Yue.
Qi Huan also dropped the black chess piece in her hand. "No, Qi Tianxiang doesn't admit to switching the pieces."
"Of course he wouldn't dare admit it!" Old Master Qi's face was grim. "I will also send people to investigate your brother's whereabouts."
Qi Huan said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
"I've lost all night, I'm not playing anymore," said Old Master Qi as he walked out of the study.
Qi Huan also rolled out in her wheelchair, and after watching the butler take Old Master Qi back to his room to rest, she went to her own room in the backyard.
Upon seeing Jiang Youli's message, he replied.
[Just played chess with my grandpa]
The reply came from the other end:
[Oh~ Did you take a shower?]
[Not yet, it's very late. If you're sleepy, go to sleep first.]
[Yeah, I'm a bit sleepy today. I even fell asleep in the car on the way back. I'm going to sleep now~ Goodnight~ Huanhuan~]
Goodnight, Xiao Li'er
Qi Huan sent a goodnight emoji, and only after confirming that Jiang Youli hadn't replied to him again did he put down his phone and push his wheelchair into the bathroom.
After taking a shower, he dried his hair, raised his wheelchair to the same height as the bed, supported himself with his hands, and sat down on the bed, holding onto his legs which were beginning to move slightly.
After finishing all that, he turned to the side, opened the bedside table drawer, and took out a very blurry photo that he had saved.
That's a photo of him at five years old holding his newborn brother, taken by his mother herself.
The photo had a note on the back that read, "Mom, I will definitely find a way to bring my brother home."
This was a vow he made secretly after his mother died in a car accident on her way to find his younger brother. Afraid that he would forget it, he wrote it on the back of this photo.
Later, he finally gained a foothold in the Qi family and won his grandfather's approval, thus gaining a voice in the family. He managed to persuade his grandfather to let his younger brother come back, but he never expected that the brother he brought back was not his own.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to my brother." Qi Huan touched the already blurry face in the photo with her fingers, her tone extremely firm, "Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I will definitely find my brother. If my brother dies, I will make Qi Tianxiang die with him."
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound outside the window, just like his mother's response.
Qi Huan put the photo back in the drawer and closed it again.
……
the next day.
After being discharged from the hospital, Jiang Xing did not stay at the house rented by Jiang Zhao, but rented another house on her own. Then she contacted a director who was considered more talented than Zhang Bufan by everyone in the entertainment industry.
The reason he hadn't sought to collaborate with this director before was that the director had retired from the industry to recuperate after making five dramas.
But now, in order to gain his sister's forgiveness, he must win over this director!
