Chapter 263: Chapter 263: How do you solve it yourself? Chapter 263: Chapter 263: How do you solve it yourself? She entered the innermost private room.

In the room, there was not only Ye Sihan but also other men and women she did not recognize.

As soon as Director Ding entered, he immediately walked over to Ye Sihan, greeted him enthusiastically, “Mr. Ye, I am Ding Jun, the director from Huixin, knowing you were here, I came over. This is Tang Yu, the lead actress in my next film. This is Yuan Xinru, her role is not yet…”

“No need for introductions,” Ye Sihan’s cold and piercing black eyes swept over, deeply intimidating.

Director Ding’s smile froze with apprehension, “Yes, I’ll drink first as a gesture of respect.” After saying that, he downed the wine in his glass.

He then noticed that Ye Sihan’s gaze was fixated on Tang Yu behind him, exceedingly sharp, his voice devoid of warmth, “Is it settled?”

Director Ding realized what he meant and immediately said, “Yes, she passed the audition and has signed the contract. Your younger brother Ye Yuli personally recommended her, and I must say, she’s exactly what I had in mind! It’s as if the movie was tailor-made for her.”

Tang Yu’s heart had risen to her throat.

After entering the private room, she had kept her head down the whole time, but Ye Sihan’s eagle-like gaze was impossible to ignore.

Already extremely nervous, now the director had to bring up Ye Yuli.

In the past, that was an absolutely taboo topic, the consequences of which were unthinkable.

What about now? An unknown danger made her legs go weak as she stood.

It should be… fine, right? After all, since being driven out of Ye Mansion, she had been overlooked.

Despite such self-consoling thoughts, for some reason, she felt the oppressive atmosphere of the room was truly terrifying, like being in an ice cellar, making one shiver all over.

Even the other people in the room remained silent, treating themselves as invisible, fearing they might catch the tailwind of a typhoon.

“Have you terminated your contract with the K-group?” Ye Sihan stared at Tang Yu with a chilling gaze, his piercing eyes seeming to see right through her.

Tang Yu’s body seemed unable to withstand it, slightly swaying.

Was she… still an artist under the K-group?

Didn’t it automatically terminate with her departure from the drama production?

Director Ding was puzzled, “What contract?”

Yuan Xinru immediately sought to display herself, as if afraid that others didn’t know, eager to exploit Tang Yu’s issue to ensure her own leading role, “Director Ding, don’t you know? Tang Yu was able to join the production because she signed with the K-group, belonging to them as an artist. I thought Tang Yu got the role in your film because of the K-group too, is it not the case? Is she close to Mr. Ye’s younger brother?”

At this moment, Tang Yu wished she could kick Yuan Xinru out; she was deliberately stirring trouble!

The more she talked, the more dangerous it became for Tang Yu.

Her heart was almost scared to a stop!

“You may sign her,” said Ye Sihan, his face void of any expression except coldness. He seemed to say the words generously, but then came the next sentence, “You can pay the breach-of-contract fee with the K-group for her.”

Director Ding was terrified.

Never mind whether she could afford the breach-of-contract fee with the K-group, but to fight over a person with Ye Sihan was like courting death!

Though Director Ding might be influential in the entertainment industry, in front of the formidable ruler of the capital, he was less than nothing!

He could make him vanish from the entertainment circle directly!

“There’s no need, my contract with Tang Yu is void. My apologies, Mr. Ye, I was unaware of this matter at first, but now that I am, how can I sign it? That would be out of line! Of course, if I really wanted to work with Tang Yu, I should contact the K-group directly.” Director Ding, a smooth operator who knew how to read the room, managed to cover all his bases with his speech.

Standing on the side in silence, wishing she were invisible, Tang Yu couldn’t help but speak out, looking at Ye Sihan, “Am I still an artist under the K-group?”

Ye Sihan’s black eyes were cold and sharp, “You may terminate [the contract].”

“I can’t afford the breach-of-contract fee,” Tang Yu said bluntly.

She had never even seen the contract, let alone signed her name on any document.

Where was this contract from?

It was just a matter of a word from Ye Sihan, and he could decide someone’s fate.

“I will pay,” came the man’s stern voice from behind.

Tang Yu’s heart skipped a beat, she turned around, looking at Ye Yuli walking in.

Why was he here?

He shouldn’t have come; his presence will only escalate the conflict!

Ye Sihan didn’t look at Ye Yuli, his frosty gaze stayed fixed on Tang Yu as though nailed to her, growing increasingly venomous.

Standing by Tang Yu’s side, Ye Yuli said, “How much? I can give it to you right now.”

Director Ding and the others were stunned.

Aren’t they brothers? They seem more like romantic rivals!

The atmosphere in the private room is terrifying now! Can they leave?

No one dares to move! It feels like whoever moves first will die the next second!

“No need, Yuli. This is between me and Ye Sihan. I’ll settle it myself,” Tang Yu said in a panic.

“How will you settle it yourself?” Ye Yuli asked her.

Ye Sihan’s voice was cold and harsh, “She can’t settle it. Whoever comes, it’s useless!”

“Are you planning to blacklist her next to make her unable to stay in the entertainment circle?” Ye Yuli’s eyes were chilly, “Brother, you’re really putting in a lot of effort for her!”

“Stop talking…” Tang Yu urged, anxious.

“Don’t be afraid of him, and certainly don’t beg him. Let’s go,” Ye Yuli said, pulling her arm toward the exit of the private room.

A chilling voice erupted from Ye Sihan, “Dare to walk out that door and try!”

Tang Yu’s steps came to an abrupt halt.

The chill pierced her body, racing up from her spine to her head, making her entire scalp tingle.

If she doesn’t walk out that door, there might still be hope.

If she does, there won’t be a single chance left.

Is that what it means?

Or is it that there’s no hope either way, just Ye Sihan asserting the might of his power?

Ye Yuli looked back at Tang Yu, who was struggling to make a decision.

He knew what she wanted.

He could forcibly drag her away, but he couldn’t bear to do so.

Ye Yuli looked at Ye Sihan, “If she stays, will you let her see the child?”

The others in the private room were full of question marks. Where did a child come into the picture?

It had indeed been said that Ye Sihan had an heir.

What does that have to do with Tang Yu?

Ye Sihan didn’t speak; his dark eyes were like sharp arrows aimed at Tang Yu’s back.

He was waiting for her answer.

Ye Yuli looked displeased and was about to speak up for Tang Yu again when he heard her low voice, “Let’s go.”

After speaking, she pulled her arm away and walked out first.

Ye Yuli was surprised but followed her out.

The expression on Ye Sihan’s face became extremely terrifying in an instant, his body shrouded in a dark brooding pressure. The hand gripping the wine glass was so tense that the veins on the back of his hand bulged and twisted.

The next second, there was a loud bang as the glass shattered.

A woman with a faint heart screamed out loud, immediately covering her mouth, scared out of her wits.

The strength in that hand was too great; if used on a person, would they have a chance to survive?

Once out of the bar, Tang Yu walked on aimlessly.

It was only when Ye Yuli grabbed her that she stopped, looking at him with a blank expression.

“The parking lot is not this way. I’ll drive you home.”
