Chapter 250
Lu Jinnian had no intention of talking . He just brought the cigarette to his lips and took a good long drag .
Moments later, Song Xiangsi turned her head and glanced over at Lu Jinnian . Then, from her hand bag, she pulled out a few bank cards between her two fingers . She held them in front of Lu Jinnian .
“These cards have my earnings from the movies I’ve filmed all these years . You know, my value will just keep going up . Besides the half Huan Ying Entertainment stripped from me, I still got quite a bit in my hands . If you add it all up, there’s five to six million . The pin code is 123456 for them all . “
After a long while, Lu Jinnian turned his head . He shot a glance at the cards Song Xiangsi handed him . With no intention of reaching out to get them, he asked in a flat tone, “Song Xiangsi, I don’t remember us having such a good relationship for you to go all out to help . “
“What? You afraid I’m up to no good?” Song Xiangsi curved her red lips into a smile . She didn’t say a word but stared out the window at the city lights, and dazed out .
It wasn’t like she schemed against Lu Jinnian, it was just that this world had far too many fickle men . It was difficult to find such a persistent and loyal person . Even if they had no relation, she still wanted to protect this sentiment . Not to mention . . . he was also that person’s older brother . . .
In a split second, Song Xiangsi recovered her usual composure . “All right, I’m not joking with you anymore . If you’re really worried, then take it as my investement in the movie . When we start earning money, just give me a share . “

“Thanks, but that’s okay . ” This time, Lu Jinnian didn’t even take a look at the bank cards in Song Xiangsi’s hands . The words from his mouth carried an air of arrogance . “I don’t need other people’s help just yet to protect the person I want to protect . “
“Hmph, you’ve got spine . So let me ask you, Mr . Lu, how will you produce a billion out of nothing?”
“I sold ten percent of my shares in Huan Ying Entertainment . ” Lu Jinnian’s tone was abnormally composed .
Song Xiangsi stared blankly . After a long while, she broke into laughter . “You really are willing to do anything for her . You have to know that if you sell ten percent of your shares, then there’s a possibility you’ll lose your place as the chairman . The entire fortune you spent to build this company from scratch could fall into someone else’s hands . “
“So what?” Lu Jinnian’s tone carried a hint of disdain . He paused for a moment, raised his arm, and took a drag . The smoke lingered around the back of his eyes, revealing a hint of sadness . “This money was earned for her to begin with . “
Heaven knows . . . He could take this money and spend it on her . Oh how happy would that make him!
Lu Jinnian raised his arm again and took a drag, blowing out a beautiful circle . The tone in his voice was so low, it was like he was talking to himself when he spoke next . “If all it took was my entire fortune to be able to go back to the old days, I’d be willing to lose it all . . . “
At the very least, his poor former self could be her friend . Even if they couldn’t love each other, the atmosphere would be warm and they could chat peacefully .
Though Song Xiangsi didn’t understand exactly what Lu Jinnian meant by the words he said to himself, she felt as if something had covered her heart . For a long time, she didn’t make a sound .
The office was silent . After who knows how long, Lu Jinnian’s phone rang . He pulled it out from his pocket and looked at the incoming message . His hand instinctively put out the cigarette, and he picked up the call .
