If Haojiang is a paradise for men, then Hong Kong City is undoubtedly a paradise for women.
After the celebration party, Pei Yunxi quickly flew to the former Oriental Pearl Tower.
If we push back the time to the last century, no matter in terms of economy, culture, degree of development, or international influence, there is no doubt that the port city far surpasses the inland city.
But "time is not forgiving".
With the opening of the new era, without realizing it, the mainland has fully caught up and left the port city far behind. This is particularly obvious in the entertainment industry.
In the past, Hong Kong movies were popular among millions of households. They were once obsessed with the bright stars of the Hong Kong city and could not extricate themselves.
But times have changed.
Like the scenery of this city, the glory of Hong Kong dramas has also gone forever.
The film and television industry in Hong Kong, which used to be a place where gods fought, is already declining, and only a few old actors are still struggling to support the last moments of Hong Kong dramas.
Pei Yunxi is no stranger to Hong Kong City. Although this city has "declined", due to its special geographical location and historical reasons, it is still a rare shopping destination. The same thing Because of the low tax on goods, it is much cheaper than coming from the mainland. Perhaps not as frequently as other artists, but Pei Yunxi still has to come here several times a year.
But this time her visit was not for consumption.
The Peninsula Hotel Hong Kong City.
Celebrities of the previous generation in Hong Kong loved to come here to have afternoon tea.
When Pei Yunxi entered Yang Ni's room, she immediately knew that she had made the right trip.
I met Yang Ni once when she went to Hong Kong. However, compared to then, Yang Ni looks much haggard now, with no makeup on, and her face is filled with a sense of exhaustion caused by lack of sleep. If this image goes out and no one recognizes who she is, I'm afraid no one will be able to tell that she is a star.
"Yun Xi, thank you for coming."
"That Piece of Blue" is now in theaters. As the heroine, everything comes to mind at this time. This friendship makes Yang A ray of warmth flowed through Ni's depressed heart, and a smile emerged from her dull face.
"Does Wei Dongxu disagree?"
Pei Yunxi asked softly.
Yang Ni shook her head and asked her to sit down on the sofa first.
"He didn't agree. I was prepared for it, but I didn't expect that he would be so heartless."
When it comes to children, no matter how strong a woman is, she seems to become fragile.
Pei Yunxi never thought that he could hear pain and helplessness in the other person's voice.
“What happened?”
“It’s okay if he doesn’t let me see Nannan. I can secretly go to school to see her, but Yunxi, you know, when Nannan sees me, she screams What am I doing?"
Yang Ni smiled weakly, "Haha, she actually called me auntie."
Pei Yunxi is not a gossip, nor does she like to pry into other people's privacy. But with such a good relationship between them, she certainly understands Yang Ni's love life.
The relationship with her ex-husband Wei Dongxu had broken down long before the divorce. Later, the dispute over the custody of the children became even worse.
In this case, Wei Dongxu's attitude is unlikely to be lethal.
Only children are always the weak spot that a mother cannot let go of, and they are also the best weapon to attack a mother.
The flesh and blood that was born after ten months of pregnancy was called my aunt.
The lethality of this title is undoubtedly much more deadly than any of Wei Dongxu's actions. It makes Yang Ni's strong heart useless and pierces her heart.
"It must have been Wei Dongxu's instigation."
Pei Yunxi could only console him in this way.
"I know, but the way my daughter looks at me is getting stranger and stranger. I'm really afraid that if this continues, she will completely forget me."
"Sister Yang Ni, You must file this lawsuit as soon as possible, your daughter is still young, and you still have time to rekindle your relationship with her."
Pei Yunxi said firmly.
Children cannot tell the difference between right and wrong.
Whoever you are with will be close to you.
In the past, she would not express too many opinions on this issue. After all, it was the other party's private matter, but it was too cruel to let the child deny his mother.
There is no need for grudges between adults to affect children.
Yang Ni has been hesitating and trying to communicate over the years, isn't it just for this reason.
“I secretly visited my daughter, but he found out, and he actually called me a lunatic.”
Yang Ni’s eyes were blank, and she was probably thinking about why she was so obsessed with it in the first place. I trust such a man for life.
Her subsequent strength may also be inseparable from this failed marriage.
Pei Yunxi, who has extremely little experience in this area, moved her red lips.
"...Sister Yang Ni, you have been divorced for so long, and the fact that he can instigate the children like this proves that he has no feelings for you anymore. It is not surprising what he says, so there is no need for you. Take it to heart."
"I understand, and I have seen it clearly for a long time. Women are said to be heartless, but men are even worse than us women when they fall out."
< br>Pei Yunxi has reservations about these remarks.
Everyone has different experiences, so there will be differences in concepts.
Men like Wei Dongxu certainly exist, but it does not mean that all men in the world are like Wei Dongxu.
Of course.
She will definitely not refute the other party at this time.
“I told him that I will fight the lawsuit with him until I win.”
“Have you found a legal team?”
Yang Ni nodded. .
If she was just an ordinary mother, then forget it, but she is more powerful than her ex-husband Wei Dongxu, and the difference in their net worth is nearly ten times.
“When he heard that I had prepared 300 million yuan to file a lawsuit with him, his attitude changed and he sent me a message saying that he wanted to talk.”
Pei Yunxi did not help. Decide and ask Yang Ni what she thinks.
“Nanny will grow up. In order for her not to misunderstand in the future, it’s okay to have a final talk. What do you think?”
Of course Pei Yunxi would not interfere in this kind of issue, as she had no experience at all.
"Sister Yang Ni, do whatever you think you should do, I support you."
When people are at a low point, they really need the company of relatives or friends.
The arrival of Pei Yunxi has visibly eased Yang Ni's condition a lot.
"Yunxi, please come with me."
Pei Yunxi nodded, "Okay."
The location for the negotiation was downstairs at the Peninsula Hotel Tea bar.
There is another significant difference between the port city and the mainland.
The culture of Hong Kong City is somewhat similar to that of the West. For example, celebrities do not think of themselves as celebrities, and the same goes for the public.
This leads to a phenomenon that seems quite novel in the interior.
You can often see news about Hong Kong celebrities going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables alone with a vegetable basket.
It is almost unbelievable that this is inland. Let alone the top celebrities, any artist who is somewhat famous will have a bodyguard to clear the way when traveling, and they will support each other.
Being an actor in Hong Kong City is just a profession, and at best, the pay is higher.
But inland, it's the upper class.
Of course.
We can’t put all the blame on the celebrities, it’s unfair.
If it weren’t for those crazy fans, this strange phenomenon would not have been possible.
If you love to kneel, people can’t pull you up.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why celebrities like to go to Hong Kong.
Because in this place, the aura of stars will be extremely dim, and no one will take them too seriously when walking on the street.
Celebrities actually sometimes want to be such ordinary people because they can enjoy rare freedom.
Due to this kind of culture, we can see that Wei Dongxu, who is also a well-known artist, simply walked into the Peninsula Hotel alone, wearing only a pair of sunglasses at most.
I have to admit that Yang Ni chose him not only because he came from an acting family, but also because Wei Dongxu was handsome.
He is nearly forty years old, but his appearance does not look like his age at all. His facial features are quite three-dimensional, like a knife cutting an axe, and his outline is sharp and angular. Not to mention women, men will probably be confused after seeing it.
Most of his images on the screen are that of a gentleman, or a scholarly young man from a big family.
So the role played by a star and the person he is really cannot be generalized.
Of course.
It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs.
It is really difficult to make a clear conclusion on what is right and wrong in this kind of question.
Seeing Pei Yunxi sitting next to him, Wei Dongxu, whose father is also a famous Hong Kong actor, was not too surprised. As Yang Ni's ex-husband, of course he knew the relationship between Yang Ni and Pei Yunxi.
"When we divorced, we seemed to have already agreed that the child belongs to me. Now you are so entangled in it. What do you mean?"
I didn't say hello to Pei Yunxi. After all, our current positions are There was no need for superficial hypocrisy, but he still took off his sunglasses.
"The child belongs to you, but you also promised me that I can come and see the child, but have you fulfilled your promise?"
The warmth between husband and wife has long been gone, Yang Ni said coldly Said: "You are just trying to prevent me from seeing my daughter. You actually let her call me aunt, Wei Dongxu, are you still a human being?"
Celebrities are also human beings. Without their halo, they are no different from ordinary people. , quarrels will also lead to swear words.
As an outsider, Pei Yunxi would not interrupt rashly.
"You have to understand that I didn't teach my daughter anything. She called you aunt, maybe just because she really doesn't know you anymore."
Although Wei Dongxu's tone was plain, what he said was But it stabbed the painful spot in Yang Ni's heart with precision and cruelty.
“You don’t need to quibble!”
Yang Ni said angrily: "I gave birth to the child, and I am her mother. No one can change this, and it is impossible to change it. I gave the child to you not because I was afraid of you, but because I didn't want to Letting such a young child bear huge public opinion, but Wei Dongxu, I have figured it out now. It was an extremely wrong decision for me to give my child to you. You are a hypocrite who goes back on your word! No matter how much it costs, I will give it to you! Take it back."
Wei Dongxu smiled with contempt.
"Yang Ni, you are more successful than me, but so what? Do you think you can get everything if you have money?"
"If it weren't for hearing that I wanted to take 300 million Are you going to sit here today to fight a lawsuit with you?"
Yang Ni said sarcastically, speaking bluntly.
Wei Dongxu’s expression changed slightly.
Although he lacks emotional experience, Pei Yunxi still has a rough idea of why this former couple ended up where they are today.
It seems that most families with strong women and weak men find it difficult to be happy.
They all have the same profession, but his wife is better than him. And because of the special nature of the job of a star, the media will publicize it and the public will also discuss it.
So it is inevitable for men to have changes in their mentality.
Not everyone has such a strong face.
Self-esteem, which can lead to low self-esteem.
Yang Ni can spend 300 million to fight the custody lawsuit, but 300 million is equivalent to Wei Dongxu's entire net worth.
From another perspective, it is indeed difficult to balance.
"Yang Ni, let me tell you something. I am sitting here today not because I am afraid of this lawsuit with you. I am my daughter's father, and I don't want her to be hurt more than anyone else. You I keep saying that I love her, but if you come to file a lawsuit now, won't it affect her?"
"You forced me to do this! I have been tolerant all these years, but how did you do it? I believe that Nannan will understand in the future.”
Yang Ni’s face was full of indifference, and it was obvious that she could no longer bear it and had no choice but to retreat.
Wei Dongxu played with his sunglasses and leaned back on the sofa chair.
The atmosphere became silent for a while.
Pei Yunxi picked up the lemon juice and took a sip.
Wei Dongxu looked at her, probably adjusting his mood briefly, and smiled softly.
"Yang Ni, they say that a family scandal should not be publicized, but it would be better for you, if you have to make it known to everyone."
"Then you give me your daughter, and you can ask for any conditions. ”
Yang Ni also calmed down.
As a last resort, she certainly didn’t want to go to court, which was why she was still willing to accept the other party’s invitation at this time.
If it can be resolved privately, it will undoubtedly minimize the harm to the daughter.
"Conditions? What do you think of Nannan? Commodity? Or goods?"
"Wei Dongxu, don't slander me!"
"Yang Ni, I have a question for you Have you ever thought about what to do if Nannan really follows you? "
"What do you mean?"
Wei Dongxu's face was expressionless, "You still have to get married in the future, right? In the past few years, I have heard a lot of gossip about you. Why don't I want you to meet my daughter? Because I don't think you can be a competent person. Mommy."
Before Yang Ni, who was filled with emotion, had time to speak, after hearing this, Pei Yunxi, who had always been a sensible listener, finally couldn't help but speak.
"You are also an actor. You should know that many times it is media hype and necessary publicity."
"I understand."
Wei Dongxu Nodding, then looking at Yang Ni, "But can you guarantee that everything is fake? Even if it is fake, but can you guarantee that you will not start a new relationship in the future? You will not get married again? You will not start a new family? "
To be able to go from being a simple artist to where she is now, there is no doubt about Yang Ni's sanity. After hearing this, she immediately choked back: "What about you? Can you promise not to get married in the future? A woman? "
"I am a man, and it is better for a father to take care of a child than for a stepmother to take care of the child."
"Fart!"
< br>Yang Ni couldn't restrain herself anymore, "Wei Dongxu, don't talk these meaningless nonsense here. Do you agree to give me your daughter? If you don't agree, then I'll see you in court!"
" Are you so sure that you can win?”
Wei Dongxu looked at Yang Ni with an expression of calmness and calmness that made Yang Ni feel very uncomfortable.
"I said, I asked you today, not because I'm afraid of you, but because I'm a father. Nannan has been with me for so long, and since the divorce, I have been raising her. Do you think it's true? When it comes to court, what will the judge say? Will he award the child to you just because you are richer than me? "
"I agree, but I'm afraid the law won't agree either."
“You didn’t let me see my daughter!”
Yang Ni was furious.
Indeed.
After the divorce, she did not fulfill her duties as a mother, but is it her problem?
She has no chance to fulfill her responsibilities!
"Do you think what you said is useful in court? In court. What you talk about is evidence and facts, not who has a louder voice or a louder voice."
Wei Dongxu took his time.
"Also, the most important basis for custody rights is the child's own opinion."
As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"So do you think, since my daughter calls you aunt, is she willing to leave me, her father, and live with you, my aunt?"
"You...!"
As a senior actor, Yang Ni's ability to manage emotions is far beyond ordinary people, but at this time Yang Ni still couldn't control her boiling anger and couldn't help but get up.
The surrounding guests couldn’t help but look over.
"Sister Yang Ni, sit down."
Pei Yunxi held her hand.
Yang Ni took a deep breath, her chest rose and fell, and sat down again.
“So, Yang Ni, for the sake of your daughter and yourself, don’t waste your efforts. Go back and start your new life. You are not old yet and you will have your own children. ”
Yang Ni clenched her hands tightly, her voice was as solid as iron, and said word by word: "Wei Dongxu, you know my character. If I fail once, I will fight a second time. If I fail twice, I will fight a third time."
Wei Dongxu’s face gradually became cold.
"It seems that my judgment about you is correct. You cannot be a qualified mother at all. Since you have to make everyone uneasy, then I can only accompany you. I am not as rich as you, but I can still afford the money for the lawsuit."
After that, Wei Dongxu put on his sunglasses, stood up and left.
Yang Ni sat there, pursed her lips, and her face was ashen.
"Sister Yang Ni, at least one thing is that he should love Nannan, otherwise he wouldn't be so decisive."
Pei Yunxi spoke.
If this lawsuit really comes to fruition, everyone knows that the final result will be a lose-lose situation for both sides. If children are added to the equation, it will be a lose-lose situation for all three sides.
If Wei Dongxu didn't love his children and was not a responsible father, he could have used his children as a bargaining chip to make demands on Yang Ni.
For example, asking for the 300 million that was originally planned to be used in a lawsuit.
In all likelihood, Yang Ni would not refuse.
But he didn't do that.
A couple who falls out is indeed more terrifying than their enemies.
The reason why Wei Dongxu is so decisive is probably just because of his hatred for Yang Ni herself.
“He loves Nannan, don’t I?”
Yang Ni took a few deep breaths.
No matter how rational a person is, he will eventually be emotional.
She knew that the other party was out to retaliate against her, or to be more precise, to make her suffer.
"I will never give up, never." (End of Chapter)
