Chapter 95.3: The Last Dinner (3)

When the studio makes money, it also means dividends for the investors.

Namely Mrs. Bai and Song Shiyu.

Just a day ago, Zhang Ning was still jokingly betting with Ji Fanyin on whether Song Shiyu would help Father Ji’s company out of their financial crisis, and today, Zhang Ning had come to her with a fallen face.

“It’s obvious he is trying to get your attention! Does he think investment is like inserting coins into a piggy bank one after another?” Zhang Ning banged the table while exclaiming, “What is wrong with him?! I remember he used to like your sister!”

Ji Fanyin peeled oranges while listening to Zhang Ning complaints. When she paused to take a breather, Ji Fanyin handed a peeled one to her which Zhang Ning received nonchalantly.

She separated the orange into two and suddenly piped up, “Talking about your sister, I am suddenly reminded of something.”

“What?” Ji Fanyin asked while signing on the agreement handed to her by Shen Qi.

“She’s pregnant.” Zhang Ning continued, “And Li Xiaoxing is paralysed from the waist up.”

Ji Fanyin listened to Zhang Ning’s slow narration of the events but the developments had not shocked her in the least.

Li Xiaoxing’s paralysis was most probably caused by his own inner demons. If he could get over them, he would be able to stand up once again. If not, he might really have to spend his life in bed.

As compared to Li Xiaoxing, Song Shiyu seemed to be living an easy life.

That was why she decided to send Song Shiyu his last supper.

… It was a box of items left behind by ‘Ji Fanyin’. Not only had she locked it in her room, she had specifically chosen a box with a lock. They consist of the little trinkets she had gathered over the years that carried memories she had with Song Shiyu.

The ballpoint pen Song Shiyu previously borrowed from her, the birthday presents she received from him… She had secretly kept them and hidden them from prying eyes.

Even though Song Shiyu’s gentlemanly appearance was a facade, it had still provided her warmth in her harsh adulthood.

In the past, ‘Ji Fanyin’ had attempted to throw the box away but everytime she could only secretly retrieve it and blame her own cowardice.

Ji Fanyin was not sure whether ‘Ji Fanyin’ had given up on Song Shiyu at the time of her jumping into the river but she saw no point in hiding the box. It was more beneficial to give it to Song Shiyu and let him contemplate what to do with it.

Therefore, the next time he contacted the studio, Ji Fanyin notified Zhang Ning of her wish to attend the meeting.

…

When Song Shiyu arrived at the agreed restaurant in his branded suit and saw Ji Fanyin sitting there, playing with her phone, he was ecstatic.

But before anything else, his first reaction was to whip out his phone and transfer three million dollars into Ji Fanyin’s account.
