Nina looked at the report, and the more she read, the more shocked she became!
In this report, the film projects that Ou Minghan had previously told her were progressing smoothly all had problems to varying degrees.
Some films didn't even have official filings, some hadn't started shooting at all, and some were halted shortly after they were supposed to begin. Even the film Ou Minghan boasted about as having the largest investment was put on hold because a suitable female lead could not be found.
Nina was flustered and lost. She pointed to a film in the report and looked at Cen Xiucheng in disbelief. "Impossible... impossible! This must be fake. Haven't they already chosen a female lead for this movie?"
Cen Xiucheng glanced at it indifferently. "Mom, the report is very clear about the situation with that movie. Initially, Ou Minghan wanted to hire a popular star, but the other party's price was very high. Ou Minghan felt it was too expensive, so they couldn't reach an agreement.
Afterward, Ou Minghan found another actress who wasn't very well-known. However, he used your unfamiliarity with the entertainment industry situation here to report the price of the previous actress to you. The difference in price, of course, was meant for him to take.
It's a shame that before the contract was officially signed, Ou Minghan offended a top celebrity in the entertainment industry, and that actress also reneged.
Later, Ou Minghan found many lesser-known actresses and students from art schools, but none were suitable. Finally, he set his sights on a female streamer from Feilong Live.
That female streamer had been tricked by him into signing a contract and earned a large sum of money, but unfortunately, she only received a basic salary. Ou Minghan, believing he had the contract in hand, was so confident that he directly assembled the film crew and began shooting.
Unfortunately, that female streamer was very smart. She had taken the national civil service exam during the period when Feilong Live encountered issues, and she passed both the written test and the interview with high scores, obtaining a formal establishment. Ou Minghan exhausted all his means, but in the end, he had to let her go.
And because of the female lead's absence, the movie naturally had to be postponed and shelved, waiting for a suitable candidate to be found before it could be filmed."
Nina's face turned pale. She looked at the report in front of her in a daze, completely speechless.
"Mom, you and sister have both been deceived by Ou Minghan," Cen Xiucheng sighed helplessly. "You have been living in the false information he fabricated for you. In fact, everything he's been doing is just to hollow out the Cen family and turn the Cen family's money into his own!
Mom, it's time to make a decision. You and sister should go back to Country K first. I will stay behind to handle the subsequent matters."
"How will you handle it?" Nina asked vaguely.
"Sister must divorce him. I will personally find a lawyer to help sister with the divorce lawsuit, and I will also recover these bottomless investments of the Cen family as soon as possible to minimize losses." Cen Xiucheng glanced at Ou Minghan and didn't continue speaking. Of course, he wouldn't let Ou Minghan off the hook, but if he said these words at this time, the infatuated Cen Ya would definitely protect Ou Minghan.
Nina's heart wavered. Now, she didn't know who to believe.
She looked at Ou Minghan and Cen Ya with a troubled expression and asked, "Xiucheng... is everything he said true?"
"Fake!" Ou Minghan denied it decisively. The next moment, he sneered contemptuously. "Cen Xiucheng, you've only been here a few days, what can you investigate? Yet you've produced such fabricated evidence to slander me. Are you truly doing this for the good of the Cen family, or because...
You've fallen for Ye Zhi, and you're using this method to win Ye Zhi's favor?!"
"What?!" Nina's face was full of anger, and her voice sharpened considerably. "Xiucheng! How could you fall for that woman!"
"Ou Minghan, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Cen Xiucheng's eyelids twitched. He never expected that at this point, Ou Minghan could still turn the tables.
"Cen Xiucheng, why are you so anxious? Could it be that I've hit a nerve?" Ou Minghan's expression changed, and he put on a righteous air. "Who has been supporting Shan Jin Jewelry against Taoxun's suppression and resisting Ye Zhi all along? It was me! Who has protected Auntie and Ya Ya from being bullied by Ye Zhi? It was still me!
But you, as soon as you arrived here, first slandered me, trying to drive me away with such tactics, so that no one would oppose Ye Zhi, right?!
Then you send Auntie and Ya Ya back to Country K, so no one will be an eyesore to Ye Zhi, right? You said you'd stay to clean up, but I think you just want to use the entire Cen family as a gift to win the beauty's smile at this opportunity!"
"Brother, is it really like this?" Cen Ya said with a heartbroken expression. "If you want to be with Ye Zhi, you can pursue her openly! But why do you want to break up my marriage with Minghan for her?"
"Xiucheng! You've truly disappointed me too much!" Nina gritted her teeth in anger. "Who you like is your business, but why Ye Zhi?! You clearly know that woman deliberately bullied me and got me arrested! It's one thing that you didn't help me, but you actually want to pursue that woman?!"
Cen Xiucheng had a headache. "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Ye Zhi has a boyfriend, you know?"
"It's precisely because Ye Zhi has a boyfriend, and her boyfriend is Qi Xuan, that you're sacrificing the entire Cen family to compete with Qi Xuan, right?" Ou Minghan continued to stir up trouble from the side.
"Ou Minghan, shut up!" Cen Xiucheng roared.
"You want me to shut up, you can!" Ou Minghan sneered. "I'll just ask you one question, is it true that meeting Ye Zhi costs five million, and have you already spent that money?"
Cen Xiucheng was slightly startled. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't deny it.
He had indeed spent five million to meet Ye Zhi. Even if he denied it, it would be found in the accounts. But not denying it would only deepen Nina's misunderstanding.
However, his hesitation was enough for the others to make their judgment.
Cen Ya flinched and took a small step back.
"So! Cen Xiucheng! I've truly raised a good son! You spent five million to meet Ye Zhi without batting an eye?" Nina was both sad and angry, and she cursed furiously. "I knew Ye Zhi, that cunning vixen, would use such underhanded tactics!
I warn you, you are not allowed to like Ye Zhi, do you hear me? I will never agree to you two being together. As long as I am your mother, she will never enter our Cen family's door!" xxs壹贰
Cen Xiucheng looked at the three people in front of him with a dazed expression. He felt that all of this was so absurd.
He thought he had investigated everything clearly, but now he realized that the situation was more complicated than he had imagined.
