Chapter 440 How could you sell your daughter?

"From today onwards, Wen Yang has nothing to do with you."

Yu Tian interrupted him, the coldness in his voice immediately silencing Wen Tao, "Remember our agreement. If Wen Yang is harassed in any way because of you..."

He stepped forward, his dark eyes gleaming coldly in the lamplight. "I'll personally make you taste methods ten thousand times more painful than those of debt collection agencies!"

Wen Tao's face paled, but he quickly forced a fawning smile: "How could that be! Yangyang is so lucky to have a boyfriend like you!"

Yu Tian turned and walked towards the door, turning back one last time before stepping over the threshold: "Oh, right, when you're short of money..."

He glanced meaningfully at the pile of debt collection letters on the table, "Remember to contact me, not Wen Yang."

After the door closed, he heard cheers and arguments erupting inside. Wen Tao was shouting, "Finally, we have money!" while Wen's mother was crying, "How could you sell your daughter?"

The next moment, they were all silenced by Wen Shiming's command to "shut up".

Yu Tian's eyes were cold and piercing as he quickly went downstairs.

Back in the car, he checked the documents again: Wen Yang's household registration page, birth certificate, and even her childhood vaccination records.

Each piece of paper represents her legal connection to this family, and now, they are all in his hands.

Yu Tian started the car, glanced at the time, it was 8:20 pm, Wen Yang should have already gone home.

He hesitated for a moment, then dialed Xu Fangli's number.

"Brother Tian?"

Xu Fangli's voice was filled with doubt, "Where did you go?"

"I took care of some errands. Where's Yangyang?"

"She's in her room, right? What's wrong?"

Yu Tian took a deep breath. "I'll be home soon. Could you come over to my place? Don't let Yangyang know."

Fang Li was puzzled, but she still tidied up a bit and went to the small building where Yu Tian lived.

Half an hour later, Yu Tian's car stopped in front of the small building.

He entered the room, enveloped in cold air, and placed a brown paper document bag on the table in front of the two of them after sitting down.

"What is this?" Xu Fangli asked after sitting down.

Yu Tian pushed the file bag over: "Wen Yang's household registration documents."

He briefly explained tonight's deal, "Just leave it with you for now."

Xu Fangli's eyes widened: "Eight hundred thousand? As far as I know, you only received less than two million in compensation when you retired. Weren't you going to start a security company? Giving so much money to the Wen family..."

Yu Tian took a sip of his now-cold tea and said, "We can raise more start-up capital for the security company."

Why not tell Wen Yang?

"She will object."

Yu Tian smiled wryly, "You know her personality; she'd rather shoulder the burden herself than owe anyone a favor."

Xu Fangli nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly remembered something: "Wait, you didn't just want her household registration book to keep her from the Wen family's control, did you?"

Yu Tian's expression remained unchanged, but Fang Li inexplicably felt that there seemed to be a change in the roots of his ears.

He looked down at the teacup, his voice almost forced out: "It's nothing... I'll keep it for later."

Xu Fangli raised an eyebrow, but did not ask any further questions.

She carefully put away the file folder: "Han Xi is coming back the day after tomorrow. Shall we have dinner together? The four of us?"

Yu Tian nodded, and as he stood up, his shirt collar was slightly open. Xu Fangli noticed with her sharp eyes that there was a thin silver chain around his neck, with the pendant hidden inside his clothes, but its outline looked like a ring.

"Brother Tian."

Xu Fangli suddenly called out to him, "If you've thought something through, just do it. Maybe what you're worried about isn't a problem at all."

Yu Tian paused slightly, then gave a faint, almost imperceptible smile: "I know, I will."

One day at work, Fang Li noticed something was wrong with Wen Yang as soon as she entered the company.

Her fingertips appeared to be lightly gliding across the tablet, adjusting the font size on the last slide of the PPT, but in reality, she was constantly keeping an eye on Wen Yang outside.

Outside the glass door of the conference room, Wen Yang was walking by with her head down, carrying a stack of notices in her hands. Even her usually neat and tidy short hair was a little messy and curly today.

"Yangyang?"

Xu Fangli knocked on the glass and waved to her: "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the artist selection process?"

Wen Yang seemed startled, almost dropping the documents in her hand. Fortunately, she quickly regained her composure, walked around to the door, and smiled, "No, it's just a selection process for short drama actors. Many film school students are willing to try out, so there's no problem."

"Oh, I see. Then why are you still looking so gloomy?"

Wen Yang forced a smile, "I probably stayed up too late last night and didn't sleep well."

Xu Fangli subtly observed that she had obvious dark circles under her eyes and a faint pinch mark on the back of her left hand, as if she had dug it out herself.

"Go take a nap in the lounge at noon, and I'll have Tian Tian bring you lunch."

"it is good."

Ever since the farce at the restaurant last week, Wen Yang has been absent-minded, but whenever Xu Fangli tries to ask her more details, she changes the subject.

"By the way, are you free this afternoon?"

Xu Fangli pretended not to notice Wen Yang's unusual behavior, "I'm planning to go check out the filming location of 'The Divine Emperor's Path,' would you like to come with me?"

Wen Yang nodded, but her gaze drifted into the distance: "Okay, let me know when we leave this afternoon. I have to go now."

She left in a hurry, not even noticing the elevator arriving, and headed straight for the emergency exit.

Xu Fangli watched her retreating figure thoughtfully until Zhou Yufan's voice came from the conference room: "Fangli? Everyone's here."

Inside the meeting room, the core members of the planning department were already seated.

Fang Li snapped out of her daze, temporarily putting Wen Yang's matter aside, and turned to look at everyone.

"Everyone."

Fang Li stood in front of the projector and got straight to the point, "The drama 'Brilliant Star,' a collaboration between Yaoxing Media and Yu Jia, is about to wrap up filming and is expected to be released during the Spring Festival."

"As everyone knows, since the merger of Liyun and Xingyu, we haven't had a decent work released yet. This market has always been about the work itself. If we can't produce a qualified work, then Xingli will never be able to gain a foothold in this industry."

Someone said, "But aren't we entering the short drama market? As soon as our short drama is released, this piece of the pie will be ours, Xingli. So we don't need to worry too much about other aspects for now."

Fang Li smiled and shook her head: "Why do you think President Zhou and I secretly entered the short drama market? Is it really just to grab a piece of this pie?"

Zhou Yufan smiled and said, "Short dramas require little investment but offer high returns. They can only be considered a shortcut for Xingli to survive. To put it bluntly, occupying the short drama market is also to lay the foundation for Xingli's development in the film and television industry. If you want to truly gain a foothold in this industry, you can't rely on short dramas alone."

Fang Li pressed the computer button, and the screen displayed stills from 'Brilliant Star'. The costumes and props were dazzling, and the actors' outfits and images showed that a lot of thought had been put into them.

Especially the jewelry; every actor wore priceless treasures.

This movie truly lives up to the reputation of having Yu's backing; most film crews wouldn't have such a large budget!
