Chapter 1419: Keep Missing You

The person in charge was also very depressed. “We already temporarily inserted it and it’s very urgent. The theater side promised to give us a date, and generally, other companies also let us… But who knew that Imperial would catch a loophole in the theatre’s contract and demand an arrangement for their blockbuster movies to come out during the summer vacation. They squeezed out our schedule.”
Xia Yingluo was a little stunned. “We also signed the contract?”
The person in charge said, “Imperial signed an overall cooperation agreement with them. It was signed two years ago, and they agreed that Imperial had the right to be given priority. What’s more troublesome is that Imperial’s contract is famously overbearing and their liquidated damages are sky-high prices. Even if the contract is breached, the cost of breaking our contract is much smaller.”
“Imperial is a flock of beasts!” Xia Yingluo felt unfair.
“Right?” The person in charge was almost crying. “Miss, what should we do? Should we change the schedule or fight to the end with them?”
Xia Yingluo forced herself to calm down and asked, “Is there a way to fight to the end?”
The person in charge’s expression darkened. “I’m afraid it’s too late. It will be released in a week, but it’ll take a year and a half to get the lawsuit done.”
“Then use the forces of the Li family to pressurize the court,” Xia Yingluo said decisively. “Isn’t it going to take a year and a half to bring a lawsuit? We’ll release the film first, then go back and fight with Imperial. We’ll take care of the theatre’s loss. This way, they won’t have an opinion.” She couldn’t afford to delay this film. It was about her energy. Although she had threatened to have a miscarriage, how could she really do it? She was too reluctant.
On the phone, the person in charge sighed. “We also thought about this method and talked with the theater. But the theater line was still unwilling to relax. They felt that most of the Li family’s power was abroad. Although stronger than Imperial, Imperial is near at home, and in the future, they still have to work under Imperial’s orders.” Overall, the Li family was more powerful, but in terms of how deep the roots were in the domestic entertainment industry, Imperial was still slightly better.
When she heard this, Xia Yingluo was also tangled. Things would really be delayed if this went on.
She hung up and went to find her parents.
Li Lei was walking with Xia Yingluo by the lake, and the setting sun shrouded the two of them like a tulle. Their beauty looked like a painting. As soon as he heard that his schedule had been taken by Imperial, Li Lei’s expression turned ugly. “This group of people. They did it intentionally.”
Xia Yingluo said helplessly, “Who knows? Anyway, if this matter is not properly resolved, your daughter will be dead.”
“Stupid girl, don’t always talk about dying.” Li Lei glared at her.
Xia Yingluo grinned on purpose. “But it’s true. If the film can’t be released on time, where would I go to find the energy?”
Xia Ling looked at her husband. “Is there any way?”
“Yes, don’t step in,” Li Lei said quickly. He glared at his daughter again, meaning, how dare you to mention it in front of your mother?
Xia Yingluo smiled and looked away as if she hadn’t seen it. She had known for a long time that her father was so jealous that he couldn’t wait to erase the word “Imperial” from her mother’s dictionary. But his daughter just had to mention it, so why wouldn’t he be angry?
Xia Ling also understood Li Lei’s mind and said, “Then you have to find a way quickly.” Then, she stopped asking.
Li Lei really went out of his way and thought of a method. However, Imperial also made a noise and said that the schedule could not be changed unless Mrs. Li personally went to discuss with Chairman Pei Ziheng.
As soon as the news came out, the Li family was in chaos.
Li Rui first came to find his sister. “You little troublesome girl, look at this, we can just wait for Father to explode in jealousy!”
Xia Yingluo was a little guilty, but also hopeful. “No way? Father isn’t such an unreasonable person.”
Li Rui rolled his eyes. “Reasonable? I’ve never seen him be reasonable in regards to Mother.”
It really went as he expected.
In the Li family’s villa, Xia Ling tried to reason with Li Lei. “He just wants to see me. It’s not a big deal. This film is related to Yingluo’s energy. I have to go.”
“If he doesn’t have any ulterior motives, why would he call only you?” Li Lei disapproved. “Xiao Ling, anyone can go and see Pei Ziheng, except for you.”
There was a hint of anxiety and impatience on Xia Ling’s delicate face. “You know that the purpose of asking me to go is to use this as a puppet. If you change it to someone else, he will never give the schedule up to Yingluo.”
“How do you know without discussing with him?” Li Lei said.
“Why would I need to discuss it with him?” Xia Ling was anxious. “One more week and the film should be released already. When will you discuss it until? You’ll just be dragging the release date! Why not let me go? We can solve the problem as soon as possible.”
“I won’t let you go even if it means the problem can’t be solved. You are my wife, why do you have to see him?” Li Lei was firm.
Xia Ling was so frustrated by him that she said loudly, “I’m your wife, but Yingluo is still your daughter! Now that your daughter is in such big trouble, how could you not help her, and not allow me to help her?”
“It also depends on how you’re going to help!” Li Lei refused to let it go. “Do you still know that you are my wife?”
“You’re unreasonable!” Xia Ling turned her head and ignored him.
“Xiao Ling…”
“Go away!”
For the first time in this villa, Li Lei and Xia Ling had such a fierce quarrel.
Xia Yingluo’s expression was bad. She dragged Li Rui from beside the door eavesdropping and silently walked away. They walked to the terrace under the moonlight, and Li Rui shook his head. “It’s over, Father and Mother are arguing like that, and Mother is even ignoring Father. You wait, Father will come to strip your skin tomorrow morning.”
“What does it have to do with me…” Xia Yingluo was about to cry. She was totally just an innocent victim?
The next day, she was really almost skinned by the angry Li Lei. This was because Xia Ling disappeared early in the morning and couldn’t be found anywhere. Li Lei turned on the positioning system in a hurry and found out that Xia Ling had gone to Imperial’s Company based on the mobile phone she carried with her.
His wife went to her old lover in private. This stimulation was too great for Li Lei. He was like an angry lion, and drove to chase after her, but was stopped at the door.
At the same time, within Imperial’s Company.
Wearing a plain shirt and light makeup, Xia Ling was sitting on the sofa in the chairman’s office. A man in a suit and leather shoes with a mild complexion was sitting opposite her. It was Pei Ziheng.
“It’s been a long time,” he said to her.
“Yeah, it’s been a long time.” Xia Ling looked at the man who once occupied an important position in her life, but her tone was calm. “You haven’t changed much.”
He smiled. “So that whenever you come back, you can recognize me at a glance. Xiao Ling, are you okay? I missed you.”
