Chapter 204 - Three Hundred Million for Dowry? (1/2)

Pei Zhen had just finished filming when Xiao Nian’s call came in.

“Pei Pei…”

In contrast to his usual lowly and loud demeanor, the manager spoke softly, sounding almost mournful.

Pei Zhen was slightly alarmed and had a bad feeling in his stomach. He spotted Fu Sichen and walked towards him quickly. “What’s up? The agency had decided to put me in cold storage?”

Xiao Nian sounded miserable. “… it’s worse than cold storage. The agency wants to terminate your contract.”

The various sponsorship contract penalties were one thing, but the agency contract would be far worse.

“You could be liable to pay up to… eighty million,” Xiao Nian fumbled as he spoke, “Daddy, why not… why not… let’s not set up a family.”

Which meant not coming out of the closet.

At the meeting, Xiao Nian seemed calm, but, in fact, his hands were clammy, and he was feeling panicky.

“Tsk.” Pei Zhen’s expression darkened, and he was annoyed. “Nian Nian, that Fu Sichen is your Mother, this is an established fact.”

He continued, “I’m such a big-shot artiste, how could it be that the penalty doesn’t even hit the 100 million-dollar mark?”

Xiao Nian couldn’t believe that at that point of time, Pei Zhen could say such things.

He smiled and said coolly, “80 million is just the penalty for the agency alone; there’s still the other filming agreement contracts that amount to ten times of 2.5 million.”

“Ten times… 2.5?” Pei Zhen said. Why did this figure seem so deliberate?

“That’s right, millionaire, are you prepared to pimp yourself to pay up?”

Pei Zhen snorted disdainfully, retorting, “Watch that tone. Why are you about to burn bridges? I’m no longer your Daddy Pei?”

“Daddy!” Xiao Nian was destined never to enjoy more than a few seconds of upper wind. His sarcastic tone turned into a whimper again. “A hundred million dollars. What do we do?! Even if I joined you and we pimped ourselves, we’d never be able to pay up. Pei Pei!”
