BXBX NOVEL Chapter 171 Fathers
Li Qiang thought, "This Ling Shuangshuang’s father is a typical scumbag. He clearly did something wrong, but he pushed all the responsibility away and refused to repent. Since he wants to invest in Ling Shuangshuang’s movie, he should be very rich too. He probably wants to wash away his sins by helping his daughter. It’s just that Ling Shuangshuang doesn’t seem like he’s buying it."
At this moment, Ling Tong said, "Little brother, please think about it. I’ve been living in pain for so many years, and I think about my dead wife every second. However, I can’t forgive her in any way. What do you think I should do?"
Before Li Qiang said anything, Ling Shuangshuang said in a stern voice, "Don’t talk, we will solve our family’s problem ourselves. Just listen to it."
Ling Tong said, "How can you speak to guests like that? This is too rude. This little brother here is clearly a smart and sensible person. You have to listen to others’ suggestions. Since the knot between the two of us can’t be resolved, it’s good to listen to others’ opinions."
Li Qiang said, "I don’t think you should keep arguing about the past. If there is any conflict, just sit down and have a peaceful talk, eat some food and drink some tea, and it will slowly pass. The dead are sad, but cherishing the present is the most important thing."
Ling Shuangshuang said, "You guys are all the same, we all want to protect each other."
Li Qiang smiled bitterly, "Why do you say that? What Uncle Ling did doesn’t sound right to me, but since he has already expressed his apologies and even specially invested in a movie to help you, why are you so angry?" Or wouldn’t it be better if you didn’t come here at all? "
Hearing his words, Ling Shuangshuang sat down and said, "Ok, since Big Bro has spoken, I will listen to you. Let’s sit down and talk."
Ling Tong nodded his head and sat down, saying: "The reason why I contributed five hundred million to this movie was to make both of our careers go up a level. Who would have thought that once she arrived, she would quarrel with me and delay all important matters. Let’s talk about the details of the contract, such as the salary, I can guarantee that you will get the highest compensation for this movie. Furthermore, you will also get a share at the box office."
Ling Shuangshuang said, "Money is not a problem, what I want is your sincere confession, not so many boring excuses, if you did something wrong then you should lower your head to apologize to my mom, even though she’s gone now, as long as you go to Mom’s grave and bow and say that you are wrong, I will make this movie and pay you whatever you want, I will not bargain."
Ling Tong said angrily, "Why are you here again? I told you that the past is over, don’t mention it, and yet you keep stabbing me in the wound. What exactly do you want? "
Ling Shuangshuang said, "Who was the one who stabbed whose wound?" You were the one who did the wrong, yet you got angry at me. You’re being too unreasonable! "
The two of them argued back and forth. Li Qiang was already thoroughly fed up with them, but there was nothing he could say. He could only watch from the side, extremely embarrassed.
Ling Shuang suddenly said, "Brother, what do you think we should do about this?"
Li Qiang forced out a smile and said, "This was originally your family matter, so my participation in it was a bit strange. How about this, you can put aside your past matters and sign the contract first."
Ling Tong said, "I’ve always been trying to persuade her to sign the contract, so it goes from one yard to another, so business matters shouldn’t be related to the past, but she insisted on tangling these things together, creating a complex mess like a bunch of fried dough twigs. I really don’t have any other choice now."
Li Qiang said, "Actually, what you said wasn’t unreasonable. If Uncle can go to the grave of your deceased wife and burn some incense sticks of paper and narrate the nostalgia, it wouldn’t be a bad idea. But if it can heal the gap between you, why not?"
Ling Tong said, "I’ve been to her grave before, but she wanted me to apologize. I can’t accept that. I have nothing to apologize for in this matter."
No matter what the reason was, having a relationship with another woman and even abandoning his wife, he should go and admit his wrongs. Moreover, it had already been many years, so what was the problem with lowering his head to admit his wrongs to a dead person? This person is also stubborn. "
Ling Shuangshuang’s face turned pale, "Big brother, you see, this person has always been like this, never admitting to anything wrong, no matter what, I will do what I have to do. How do you want me to sign the contract with him, I would rather not earn this money than cooperate with him." With that, he slammed the door and left in a huff.
Li Qiang said, "Uncle, don’t be in such a hurry. I will go and persuade her. We can discuss the matter of your cooperation later."
Ling Tong closed his eyes and nodded as he said, "Alright, that girl is actually following me as well. She has the same temperament as me and we often bicker endlessly about a small problem. I’ve really been angered to death by her."
Li Qiang greeted his and chased out. Ling Shuangshuang was still sulking in the driver’s seat, so he advised, "Why are you and your father so noisy, don’t miss anything big."
Ling Shuangshuang said, "It’s not a big deal for me, it’s just a matter of principle. If he doesn’t acknowledge his mistake, then I won’t forgive him."
Li Qiang said, "Since Uncle Ling is willing to spend a lot of money to help you, it means that he’s apologizing. It’s just that he won’t admit it due to face. Right now, it’s imperative that you put aside your objections and cooperate before doing anything else."
Ling Shuangshuang said, "If I don’t solve the principle issue, I will definitely not cooperate with him. When he asked to invest in a large scale company to help me, I thought that he had changed his personality and was very sorry to my mother. But now that he is like this, I will not take a cent from him." Back then, he abandoned us because of that woman, and my mom committed suicide. I relied on my own hard work to get to my current position, so I won’t suffer any losses just because I didn’t make this movie. " As he spoke, he drove out of the east gate.
Li Qiang said, "I believe he must have his own difficulties. For him to be able to casually send out 500 million people to make movies, he must have spent a lot of money. But since he’s still living in a slum in a normal house, it means that he has a lot of guilt towards the past. Some people actually know they made a mistake, but they just won’t admit it.
Ling Shuangshuang suddenly smiled and said, "I asked you to come with me. I just wanted to find someone to mediate so that we wouldn’t have a bad temper. Big brother did well, thank you."
Li Qiang smiled and said, "It’s just a small matter. What’s there to worry about? Actually, I didn’t do anything. It’s a bit shameful for you to praise me like this."
Ling Shuangshuang said, "Since you’re helping me like this, why don’t I help you?"
Li Qiang asked curiously, "I don’t have anything I can help with?"
