Chapter 1155: 797 couples who turn against each other outdo archenemies (5k!)_2

"Hearing that I’ve prepared three hundred million to fight him in court, he changed his tune. He sent me a message, saying he wants to talk."

Pei Yunxi did not offer to make the decision, instead asking Yang Ni what she thought.

"Children will grow up. To avoid her misunderstanding in the future, it’s okay to talk one last time, don’t you think?"

Of course, Pei Yunxi would not interfere in such matters, as she had no experience herself.

"Yang Ni, whatever you think you should do, just do it. I support you."

In times of low spirits, one really needs the company of family or friends.

Pei Yunxi’s arrival visibly soothed Yang Ni’s mood.

"Yun Xi, come with me."

Pei Yunxi nodded, "Okay."

The discussion was set to take place at the tea bar on the ground floor of Peninsula Hotel.

There’s a notable difference between Gangcheng and the inland.

The culture in Gangcheng is somewhat similar to the West, for example, celebrities here don’t really consider themselves celebrities, and the public feels the same way.

Which has led to a phenomenon that seems quite novel in the inland areas.

You can often see news of Gangcheng celebrities going to the market to buy groceries all by themselves.

In the inland, that’s nearly inconceivable. Apart from top-tier superstars, which moderately famous artist doesn’t travel with bodyguards leading the way and throngs of assistants?

In Gangcheng, being an actor is merely a profession, at best a higher-paying one.

But in the inland, that equates to being upper class.

Naturally.

The responsibility can’t be pushed entirely onto celebrities, that wouldn’t be fair.

Without those crazy fans, such bizarre phenomena wouldn’t exist.

If someone loves to kneel, the other person can hardly pull them up.

Perhaps this is also one of the reasons celebs love running to Gangcheng.

Because in this place, a celebrity’s aura fades significantly, walking on the streets here, nobody takes too much notice.

In fact, celebrities sometimes wish to be such ordinary people, because they can enjoy the rare freedom.

Due to such culture, it’s not surprising to see Wei Dongxu, also a well-known artist, walk into Peninsula Hotel alone, simply putting on a pair of sunglasses.

It must be admitted, one reason Yang Ni chose him back then, apart from the fact that he came from an acting family, was probably because Wei Dongxu was attractive.

Approaching forty, yet he doesn’t look his age in the slightest. His facial features are deeply defined, like chiseled by a knife, with sharp and clear contours. Not to mention women, even men might be mesmerized at a glance.

His screen image is mostly of noble gentlemen or the scholarly scions of prominent families.

Therefore, it’s clear that you can’t generalize a celebrity’s roles with who they really are.

Naturally.

It’s difficult for an honest official to settle household affairs.

In these matters, it’s really hard to clearly determine who’s right and who’s wrong.

Seeing that Yun Xi was also seated to one side, Wei Dongxu, whose father was also a famous veteran actor from Gangcheng, wasn’t too surprised.

As Yang Ni’s ex-husband, he was naturally clear about Yang Ni’s relationship with Pei Yunxi.

"When we divorced, we seemed to have agreed already; the child would be with me. What’s the meaning of your constant persistence now?"

He didn’t greet Pei Yunxi, after all their current positions no longer required superficialitites, but he still took off his sunglasses.

"The child is with you, but you also promised me that I could visit her. Have you kept your promise?"

Gone was the warmth one might expect between former spouses, Yang Ni spoke coldly, "Not only did you try every means to prevent me from seeing my daughter, but you even had her call me ’auntie’. Wei Dongxu, are you even human?"

Celebrities are human, too. Strip away the aura, and they’re no different from ordinary people, capable of hurling insults during arguments.

As an outsider, Pei Yunxi naturally wouldn’t rashly interrupt.

"You have to understand. I didn’t teach her to say anything. If she calls you ’auntie’, it might be because she truly doesn’t recognize you anymore."

Wei Dongxu’s tone was even, but the words he spat were precise and cruel, striking straight at the pain in Yang Ni’s heart.

"There’s no need for excuses!"

Yang Ni exclaimed furiously, "I gave birth to the child, I am her mother. This is a fact no one can change, nor will it change. When I gave you the child, it wasn’t because I was scared of you, but because I didn’t want such a small child to suffer enormous public scrutiny. But now, Wei Dongxu, I’ve come to realize, giving you the child was an extremely wrong decision. You’re nothing but a hypocritical gentleman! No matter the cost, I will take my daughter back."

Wei Dongxu laughed, a sneer in his smile.

"Yang Ni, you might be more successful than me, but what of it? Do you think having money can get you everything?"

"If it wasn’t for hearing that I was going to spend three hundred million to sue you, would you be sitting here today?"

Yang Ni retorted sarcastically, not mincing her words.

Wei Dongxu’s expression changed slightly.

Though lacking in emotional experience, Pei Yunxi still had a rough idea of why this former couple had reached this point.

It seems families where the wife is stronger than the husband mostly struggle with happiness.

Both in the same profession, yet his own wife was more successful than he was, and because of the unique nature of the celebrity job, media would sensationalize, and the public would speculate.

Thus, the man would inevitably experience a change of heart.

Not everyone has such thick skin.

Pride, thus leading to insecurity.

Yang Ni could pull out three hundred million for a custody battle, but three hundred million is virtually equal to Wei Dongxu’s entire worth.

Changing positions, that indeed would be difficult to balance.
