Chapter 104 - They were Sworn Enemies!

Was he talking about Su Ji?

Si Jingchuan’s ears were pricked andhe listened carefully.

“Fortunately, I also invested in my son’s drama. They can’t add a new role without my permission!”

Si Ke’s voice was very deep, which sounded completely different from Si Jingchuan.

However, if one listened carefully, the two of them actually had similar voices.

“Don’t try to persuade me. I don’t care if my investment is wasted or not, I can’t let Old Master Pei help his grandson get a wife. These are my father’s last words before he passed!”

Si Jingchuan walked into the living room.

Si Ke was sitting on an eight-seater couch. The middle-aged man was as tall as Si Jingchuan, but he had a large body and looked very strong.

His dark skin was a stark contrast to Si Jingchuan’s sickly pale complexion. He exuded an intimidating aura..

The sleeves on his arms were rolled up, revealing two big tattooed arms.

It was rumored that Si Ke used to work in a shady industry. Although he was rich, he didn’t mind that his son was in the entertainment industry.

He definitely had a fierce look, especially the long scar on his forehead, which looked like a twisted centipede.

However, everyone knew that he doted on his wife, was loyal, family-oriented, and was a filial son.

It was only after he hung up that Si Ke noticed that his son had returned. “Ah, Binbin is in the back room. He’s too scared to stay in the hospital. The caretaker just left. It wasn’t easy to make him fall asleep, so don’t disturb him.”

Si Jingchuan did have something more important to do than checking in on his younger brother.

“Dad, you’re going to remove the second female lead?” He sat down next to Si Ke and poured himself a cup of tea. He felt as if the tea cup weighed a few pounds in his slender fingers. “I saw the girl today. She’s quite a nice person. She’s forthright and not pretentious. Why are you going against her?”

Si Ke leaned over and asked, “the girl is nice?”

Si Jingchuan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, “yup,”

“Heh!” Si Ke chuckled, “then I have more reason to stop them!”

Shouldn’t this nice girl marry his eldestson instead when he recovered?

“You’re being unreasonable. Why do you care about this? ”

“What do you know?” Si Ke gave him a sideways glance. Your grandfather and Old Master Pei were sworn enemies in the past, and his last wish before he passed was for you to get married and have children before his three grandchildren!”

“Your grandfather has been gone for almost ten years, and the third son of the Pei family is still single.”

“I already have another son, but you…”

He stood up as he spoke, but he couldn’t bear to say anything more when he saw his sickly son. “I understand that you’re not like Old Wang’s kid who goes drinking every day and doesn’t want to settle down. I know that you’re sick…”

Although Si Ke used to be a playboy, his wife was a devastatingly beautiful, weak, and sickly beauty.

She gave birth to two sons, both of whom were beautiful, but they also took after their mother and were weak and sickly from a young age.

Especially their youngest son…

Si Jingchuan was touched that his father didn’t pressure him.

But when he thought about it carefully, something felt off.

Was he saying that…he was incapable of getting a wife?

“Dad, I’m really grateful to you. So, you’re saying that Old Master Pei isn’t really interested in celebrities, but he is actually looking for a granddaughter-in-law?”

Si Ke nodded.

No wonder Old Master Pei was so supportive of her.

“But you can’t do that,” Si Jingchuan said.

“You don’t need to worry about it.”

Three days later, Su Ji did not go to Blue Whale because she had class, so Pei Xi came looking for her.

She was wearing a pair of sunglasses and a tight-fitting long black dress, which made her look like a model.

This caused the talent scouts around the school to go forward and hand her their business cards. But when they recognized who this person was, they became even more excited.

At noon, the number of students at the entrance of the campus gradually increased. Su Ji was very eye-catching as she walked among them.

“Su Ji!”

Su Ji saw her and raised her eyebrows

Recently, she had been accompanying Pei Huai and Pei Xi on alternate days.

It’s alright, she could handle it.

In the restaurant, Pei Xi sat opposite Su Ji. The two of them looked like a picture in a magazine.

Pei Xi took out three books from her bag and slowly pushed them in front of Su Ji, “I have prepared some books for you.”

Su Ji paused for a moment before she asked, “it’s about how one can go further in the entertainment industry, right?”

Pei Xi’s expression froze, “kinda…”

Su Ji took the books. The books that Ms. Pei gave her must be practical, the kind that needed to be memorized in full.

She looked at the first one seriously.

“How to Make Beautiful Babies”.

The second book, “What Should You Eat to Make Beautiful Babies”.

The third book, “Ancient Seduction Techniques (Illustrated)”.

Oh, she had a more detailed book in her hand, but she had been busy recently and had no time to read it.

But why did Pei Xi give her these?

Su Ji pinched the space between her eyes. She asked tentatively, “Pei Xi, you have a child?”

“I don’t, but I hope you will…” Pei Xi smiled seductively. She wanted to help her third brother with his progress. She held Su Ji’s beautiful hand across the table and whispered, “also, I hope that your future children…will have my surname.”

Su Ji’s body stiffened, and the tips of her ears turned red.

Pei Xi thought that she finally understood!

However, Su Ji coughed and said, “you already have a husband, I don’t think it’s appropriate…”

Pei Xi was speechless.

What should she do? She was starting to worry about her third brother’s future…

The two of them finished their meal in silence. Pei Xi smiled and was about to say something when her cell phone rang.

“Excuse me.”

Su Ji nodded.

The person on the other end of the call said something. Suddenly, her expression changed and her voice sank, “what did you just say? They’re going to remove Su Ji’s role?”

The call was from Ren Guanghua. Su Ji was eating the pearls in the pearl milk tea and looked up at her when she heard her.

Pei Xi facepalmed. “Manager Ren, please explain to them. Su Ji is fully capable of playing this role. We’ve also asked the film critics to review it. The revised script is actually better than the previous one. It’s more interesting and…”

Ren Guanghua sounded very anxious, “ah, I’ve told them all this. They don’t care if Su Ji can take on this role! They just want to make things difficult for us!”

Pei Xi was silent for a few seconds. “Alright. I’ll bring her back to the company to discuss countermeasures later.”
