Twenty million yuan. Where would she get so much money? Si Yu was shocked. She quickly pulled out the contract that she had signed. After a careful look, she was speechless.
This contract was truly a death pit that sought people"s life. At that time, the original Si Yu"s eyes were probably blinded by lard¹. She hadn"t understood it at all before she rashly signed the contract.
Si Yu didn"t understand these twists and turns very well. After thinking about it, she called Yu Ling. Ever since she happened to save Beibei, Yu Ling"s att.i.tude towards her turned one hundred and eighty degrees. Whenever she was free, she would visit her door and bring something with her. Yu Ling even mentioned that she wanted to introduce a new photo shooting work to Siyu. However, Siyu had her ambitions elsewhere, so she politely refused.
On the phone, Yu Ling was also shocked when she heard about the twenty million matter: “Twenty million? It"s impossible. Why did they say you went against the contract without cause or reason?"
Yu Ling had been in the entertainment circle for many years. She keenly sensed that something was not right. After pacifying Si Yu, she quickly asked her friend to specifically find out what"s going on. This time, she finally had a clue.
"Siyu, I have asked my friend. Although he wasn"t willing to speak frankly, he hinted that you have offended someone." Yu Ling found it strange. Siyu"s health wasn"t good. She had to stay at home and rest all the time. Except for the cover shooting from last time, she had never taken any other job. So, how could she offend someone? Yu Ling said, "Think about it carefully. If there"s truly someone who wants to make you suffer, you might as well have an idea who it is and why. "
The entertainment circle was no different from other places. It"s all about connections and resources. Yu Ling"s friend wasn"t willing to tell her who was behind this. Then, it"s possible that this person has a high position and in Jiang City, no one could afford to offend this person.
Yu Ling was really worried about Siyu and urged her anxiously, “Think about it!"

Siyu was somewhat helpless: "Ling-jie, it is useless for me to worry about it." Nevertheless, Siyu could still guess who it was who wanted to give her a hard time. Aside from her own biological mother—Duan Rulan, who walked away in anger—who else would "care" about her?
"This won"t work…. Siyu, the newest release of 《Feng Shang》magazine will be on the market soon. You are the cover page model. If the reaction is good, this time you could become an instant hit! But now, this kind of matter appeared. If you don"t resolve this, then you…." Yu Ling pondered about it and thought this situation won"t do. She gritted her teeth and said, "Just wait, I"ll find a reliable lawyer for you. In addition, if the person who wanted to make you suffer wouldn"t let you stay in the circle, then you"ll have to find a bigger backer to protect you."
Siyu asked: "You mean… Huan Yi?" She smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Ling-jie, how could others take a fancy on me? I"m just an obscure small model. Moreover, signing with me means paying those two million penalties for me. Who"s foolish enough to willingly lose money in business?"
"Who said you"re obscure?" Yu Ling suddenly asked.
Si Yu was stunned and didn"t quite understand what she was talking about.
Yu Ling continued: "You missed the audition before, but there was a new release of 《Fashion¹ Icon》! I"ll tell you that the finished product was beyond your expectations. I dare to guarantee with my many years of experience that you will definitely be popular. Even Mr. Zhang Chao, this great G.o.d who has never partic.i.p.ated in the follow-up publicity, has declared that he will recommend you to his peers in the photography circle. Do you know how rare this is?! “
To be honest, Siyu didn"t have any confidence in that shooting and even felt bad. When Yu Ling said this, she felt like it was unreal: “Ling-jie, are you serious?”
Yu Ling said mysteriously: “Today Fashion"s official page will post an announcement about the release, and they chose one of your photos to use. Originally, they had agreed to use Ji Lin"s photo. After all, he had a lot of fans. But Ji Lin specifically told them to use you for the main propaganda. Speaking of which, this guy, Ji Lin, looks after you very much. If it wasn"t for the fact that you two haven"t interacted with each other at all, I would have thought that he was interested in you."
Si Yu guiltily tried to change the topic: “Well, he is a very good person…. Maybe he just wanted to help out a newcomer. It doesn"t mean anything else. "
This silly boy always uses this move! Always covertly doing good deeds without leaving a name behind, was he afraid that she might not be happy when she finds out? If so, then you should do it more secretly. Yu Ling was close to completely exposing Ji Lin and his good deeds for her.
Siyu didn"t know whether to laugh or to cry. She thought of the things that Duan Rulan had done. For a while, she had mixed feelings. A silly boy like Ji Lin actually had this kind of mother. She was also completely speechless about this.

1: from henceforth Feng Shang will be called in its English term – Fashion. (Afterall it"s a fashion magazine, and I kinda decided that it feels weird to continue on with the Chinese name?)
T/N: Thank you for waiting~ I"ll try my best to fulfill the two updates per week schedule.
