Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Sang Shen: Big Brother, I Want to Terminate the Contract
âI donât need you to do anything, or to express remorse, just staying away from me is the best apology, and I will never forgive you in my entire life, understand?â

Sang Qiao said these words then sharply turned and went downstairs, her silhouette resolute without pause.
âQiaoqiaoâŚâ Sang Shenâs eyes gradually blurred as he stood still, watching her receding figure, wanting to detain her yet unable to utter a word.
He had been nurturing a hope that as long as Qiaoqiao didnât reject his approach, there could still be a chance for reconciliation. But now, all his hopes and illusions had shattered.
Sang Shen felt sudden tears rolling down his cheeks; he reached up fiercely to wipe them away, cursing under his breath that the house was so shoddy it even leaked water for no reason.
But the tears on his face kept multiplying, more than he could wipe away; it was then he realized he was crying.
He was crying? How could he, a grown man, cry? It must be an illness in his eyes, surely it was.
While dabbing his tears, Sang Shen dialed his older brotherâs number, continuously telling himself that Qiaoqiao was just still angry and didnât want to see him, but as long as he kept amending things, he could certainly turn the situation around.
The phone rang for a long while before someone picked up. Without waiting for the other person to speak, Sang Shen blurted out, âBrother, how could you poach people from Qiaoqiaoâs company? You must send Fu Xing back immediately.â
âSo you think my poaching is wrong? Do you know what Qiaoqiao did! She had her lawyer help another company sue mine, do you know how much money I lost?â
The voice of Brother Sang on the other end already carried a note of anger, and hearing his younger brotherâs reproach right away made his tone even harsher.
âBrother, those things are not important. Qiaoqiao went abroad to seek treatment, and she hasnât been in touch because mom changed her contact info, even blacklisting her new number! I originally planned to tell you when I returned, but I didnât expect you toâŚâ
The conversation fell silent for a long while before Brother Sang finally asked unsteadily, âIs what you said true?â
âI have no reason to lie to you, you have seen for yourself how horribly I treated Sang Qiao. I didnât believe her, I was such a jerk.â
Sang Shen slowly slumped down against the wall, closing his eyes in unbearable pain.
âI will look into this matter, but it is also true that Sang Qiao helped another company against mine. The matter with Fu Xing has no room for negotiation, unless she is willing to apologize and I donât seek compensation for my loss. Is that concession enough?â
âBrother, have you lost your mind? How could Sang Qiao possibly apologize to you, even if that is the truth? You wronged her first!â
Sang Shen saw in his older brother the same pride and arrogance, always feeling he was right, that he himself had exhibited before.
He gave a bitter smile. So that was how unpleasant he had been, no wonder Qiaoqiao gave him no chance now.
âAnyway, thereâs no discussion about Fu Xing. If thatâs all you have to say, then thereâs nothing to talk about.â The tone of Brother Sang on the other line was still irrefutable.
Sang Shen was enveloped by a sense of powerlessness; he knew he couldnât persuade his brother. He took a deep breath and spoke calmly, âI want to terminate my contract.â
âSang Shen, do you understand what you are saying? Do you still think youâre a child? Thatâs so immature.â
âI know. I will have my agent talk to you.â Sang Shen hung up the phone without wanting to hear any more blame from his brother.
He had never been clearer about what he was doing than at this moment.
Sang Shen rose to his feet, leaning against the wall. Just as he turned to head to his room, he saw Jiaojiao standing nearby; he frowned, âHow long have you been here? How long have you been listening?â
âBrother, I just arrived a moment ago. Maybe you could reconsider the termination?â
Faced with the question, Sang Jiao felt uncomfortable inside but had to endure it.
âIâm not considering it, Iâm going back to my room,â Sang Shen said firmly, wanting to end the conversation.
Sang Jiao grabbed his arm, her eyes red with emotion, âBig brother! Have you started to dislike me? Although you say you treat everyone equally, I feel like your heart sides with QiaoqiaoâŚâ
âJiaojiao, I donât dislike you, but I owe Sang Qiao an apology, Iâm tired, and I need to put my heart into making amends, so itâs inevitable that I might overlook things. Donât think too much.â
âWhy do you have to step back from Brother Sangâs company to make it up to Sang Qiao? Weâre family.â
Sang Jiao looked at him with feigned misunderstanding, her innocent and pleasant demeanor softened Sang Shenâs heart a bit.
âI understand, Iâll have a good talk with Brother Sang, I donât want our family to be unhappy, provided that the negotiation succeeds.â
âI believe you can definitely make the negotiation work,â Sang Jiao said, her eyes full of trust.
âUh,â Sang Shen just felt exhausted. How wonderful would it be if Qiaoqiao could look at him with the same trusting eyes?
Their family would be happily together, which would be so happy.
But he knew, Qiaoqiao held grudges; it wouldnât be so easy for her to forgive him.

Sang Qiao still felt uneasy about Ah He and, after asking for the afternoon off from the production team, she took a taxi to the company.
Rose Entertainment
This was her first time coming to the company she founded. Seeing the orderly inside, excellently decorated and beautifully arranged, she was genuinely pleased.
Sang Qiao hadnât had a chance to call Ah He when she saw someone coming out of the elevator.
Fu Xing was holding a big suitcase while Nanfeng walked beside him, the two of them shoulder to shoulder.
Fu Xing also saw her and stopped in front of her, a bit panicked. Sang Qiao wasnât about to make trouble without cause, was she?
Even if their lawyer were Shangguan Yuan, they wouldnât win the lawsuit, after all, the contract was clear, and he could afford the breach of contract fee to leave.
Fu Xing was worried about the waste of time; he was rushing to break the contract for a school drama to film as the male lead in Director Liâs script.
He couldnât help feeling uneasy and took the opportunity to remind her, âSister Qiao, Iâve already discussed the termination process with Sister Ah He.â
âUh,â Sang Qiao didnât give him another glance and gestured for him to leave.
Seeing this, Fu Xing breathed a sigh of relief and walked away with his suitcase beside her.
However, Nanfeng didnât leave; he stood tall and stared down at Sang Qiao with a complicated gaze, âThe only cash cow being poached, and you donât care?â
âSang Qiao, I already know about the matter of your going abroad for treatment back then, but you havenât done any good deeds over these years. You even had Shangguan Yuan fight a lawsuit for my competitor, youâre the one who has gone too far.â
âHowever, if youâre willing to apologize, I can let bygones be bygones, and we can clear the air. Rose Entertainment and Starlight Entertainment can be one family.â
âMy cash cow isnât Fu Xing; itâs Ah He. If you dare, then poach her. If you were righteous in your lawsuit, would you lose? In the end, you deserve this, and Rose Entertainment will never be one with your company,â
Sang Qiaoâs cold eyes glanced at him, showing a hint of chill, as she no longer considered it worthwhile to explain further to Nanfeng.
If it were before, Nanfeng would bravely face his mistakes rather than foolishly hope to win a lawsuit through luck like now!
