After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Mr. Xiao said slowly: "When we are young and energetic, we are often easily swayed by vague emotions. People, it is best to think carefully before making a decision."

Xiao Yi sneered, staring at him sharply, and said sarcastically: "You are really a man who thinks things through. You abandoned your pregnant wife and sneaked to Hong Kong alone. You have not been heard from for decades and you don't care about your wife and children."

Thinking of his late wife and son, Mr. Xiao inevitably felt guilty, but he still insisted on his position and did not think he was wrong. He said to Xiao Yi with a firm gaze: "In that era, many things were not something we could decide on our own."

After hearing what Mr. Xiao said, Xiao Yi chuckled twice and said coldly, "Don't beautify your coldness and selfishness to be so otherworldly. Those who smuggled with you back then were able to take their wives and children to the port city. You were their guide. If they could do it, why can't you? It's just that you are selfish and cold-hearted. You want to abandon the past and be reborn in a different place."

Xiao Yi stared at Mr. Xiao's stern face and continued, "You not only got married there, but more than once. Unfortunately, perhaps it was fate that your several wives were unable to continue your bloodline. If you had other children, I'm afraid you wouldn't remember the wife and children you once had, let alone come back to find me."

Mr. Xiao sat upright on the chair, staring at Xiao Yi opposite him. He saw that Xiao Yi had a cold expression, and his eyes flashed with alienation and indifference. Then he couldn't help laughing, and tears flashed in his laughter. He said slowly: "Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, whether you admit it or not, you are my grandson after all. The blood of the Xiao family flows in your body. The coldness in your bones is exactly the same as mine."

Xiao Yi snorted coldly and responded, "Yes, I admit that I have a cold temper, but that is only towards you and people I don't like. When I was seven years old, my father died in a car accident and I was sent to an orphanage. Do you know what the first thing I did when I arrived at the orphanage?"

Mr. Xiao looked at Xiao Yi's bloodshot eyes and said slowly: "You injured the oldest child in the orphanage."

"The investigation is quite clear," Xiao Yi sneered, "The boy wanted my car, which my father bought for me the day before the car accident. After I refused, he tried to snatch it away. I remember that in a rage, I picked up the small stool next to me and smashed it at him until his head was bleeding. Still not satisfied, I rode on him again and punched him non-stop. At that moment, even the director was frightened. Since then, I have become famous in the orphanage, and no one dares to provoke me easily. Do you think I would be a good person growing up in such an environment?"

Mr. Xiao stared at Xiao Yi and asked, "How can you forgive me?"

Xiao Yi slowly stood up, straightened his suit, and then said coldly: "The people who can forgive you are no longer here." After that, he walked out of Mr. Xiao's office without any hesitation.

Old Mr. Xiao stared at Xiao Yi's back as he walked away. His originally straight back bent involuntarily, followed by a heart-wrenching cough.

Even if his heart was hard, facing the loneliness around him, he couldn't help but feel lonely. Especially when Xiao Yi left, he said, "The people who can forgive you are gone," which pierced the scars in his heart that he didn't want to touch the most, like a sharp sword.

He subconsciously took a deep breath and sighed in his heart: Once you miss some people, they are really missed. This may be the so-called "retribution".

When Xue Tao saw Xiao Yi coming out, he quickly went up to him and asked, "How did the talk go?"

Xiao Yi got into the nanny car, chuckled twice, and replied, "Very happy."

Xue Tao looked at Xiao Yi's smile, which barely reached his eyes, and immediately understood the deep meaning of his words. He patted Xiao Yi's shoulder and said, "The online heat has subsided, and the relevant information has been blocked. There are still some secret comments, but those few remaining secret comments don't have much impact."

Xiao Yi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then asked, "That's good. Is there any news from Jiawei?"

Xue Tao replied: "Team Leader Chang told me that the people they sent went to Miss Li's residence. Fortunately, Miss Li was resting at the time and did not see the malicious words on the Internet."

Xiao Yi was in a better mood when he learned that Li Jiawei was not affected by the online storm. He continued to ask: "Do you have any clues about who leaked Jiawei's personal information?"

Xue Tao said: "We have already found out that it was a person named Xue'er, who is one of your fanatical fans. She posted Ms. Li's personal information in the fan group and engaged in incitement."

Xiao Yi said without hesitation: "Give her information to Team Leader Chang. Haven't they already called the police? Let the police handle it."

Xue Tao responded: "I have sent the chain of evidence to Team Leader Chang. In addition, Director Gao and his team would like to invite you to dinner to express their gratitude."

Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "I'm not in the mood today. Please decline their kindness for me."

Xue Tao nodded: "Okay, then shall we go back to the hotel now?"

Xiao Yi looked at the brilliant orange-red color in the sky and asked, "Do you know where Jiawei lives?"

Xue Tao sighed and said, "Your hot search has been on the social platform for a whole day. There must be a lot of reporters watching you openly or secretly. It is not a wise move to go to Miss Li at this moment."

Xiao Yi rubbed his hair irritably and complained, "This job really leaves me with no freedom at all."

Xue Tao sighed and said, "Do you know how many people dream of living a life like yours that seems to have no freedom?"

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly: "We are busy all the time, but it's just a matter of interests. Xue Tao, do you still remember our original dream?"

Xue Tao nodded and sighed: "Of course I remember, we dream of becoming the greatest director in the world!"

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly and replied, "Our dream of becoming a director! But things are unpredictable. I am now an actor, and you are an agent."

Xue Tao also smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for me, you would be a famous director now."

Xiao Yi patted Xue Tao's shoulder and smiled, "I have never regretted it. Now that we are financially secure, I am wondering if I can retire and pursue our dreams?"

Xue Tao began to count them: "You still have 54 endorsements, and there are four projects to be launched, including three movies and a positive energy TV series..."

Seeing Xue Tao was about to continue, Xiao Yi quickly interrupted him: "Stop, stop, stop... I get it. Don't give me so many jobs in the future. If you keep squeezing me, I'll disappear! But, Xue Tao, I have a suggestion. How about I invest in your movie?"

Xue Tao heard this and said, "Why don't you sponsor me to go to school for five or six years so that I can learn the basic skills of a director."
