Su Ji indeed had nothing to talk to him about.

However, Su Ji remembered how Song Heng rejected the original owner so many times when she asked to talk after their break up.

Now that he wanted to talk, Su Ji smiled and said, “alright~”

Song Heng brought her to the director’s office.

Su Ji sat on a chair and pointed at the small stool opposite the coffee table, “have a seat.”

“…”

The chair she was sitting on was the director’s chair.

After a few seconds of silence, Song Heng sat on the stool. He was now a head shorter than Su Ji.

It didn’t seem like he was here to talk to Su Ji, but more like Su Ji was here to lecture him.

Song Heng frowned. He was not used to her being so cold to him.

“Su Ji, don’t take what those people said to heart. I believe you are not that kind of person.” Even though he said that, he was also looking at the corner of Su Ji’s mouth.

It had almost recovered, but Pei Huai had made it worse at the kindergarten that day.

However, Su Ji ate a lot of the medicinal herbs she grew, so she recovered quickly. No one would be able to tell anything from today’s filming.

Su Ji crossed her arms and smiled, “why do you keep staring at the corner of my mouth?”

Song Heng paused for a moment and looked away. “I know you might just be a little sick. I won’t misunderstand, don’t worry.”

“How can you be so sure?” Su Ji sighed.

“You wouldn’t even let me touch your hand when we were together, ” Song Heng smiled confidently, “I know you.”

“Is there a possibility that I simply don’t want you to touch my hand?” Su Ji asked.

Song Heng shook his head helplessly. He knew that he had broken up with Su Ji too resolutely and had hurt her.

That’s why she’s trying to provoke him again and again.

He took out a card from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table. “Here’s two million yuan as compensation for the breakup.”

Su Ji was stunned.

What kind of luck did she have these past two days? They all came to give her money.

Song Heng had given it a lot of thought over the past few days and finally decided to give this two million yuan reluctantly.

This sum of money was nothing to him now, but the break up was really bad.

At that time, he did not expect Su Ji to change so much after breaking up with him.

Compared to Su Qianrou, Su Ji was better.

If this could warm her up…

Song Heng raised his head and said arrogantly, “Su Ji, when I broke up with you, I was in a period of confusion in my career and was uncertain about my future. But now it’s different. I’m the director and you’re the second female lead, so you can’t blame me for breaking up with you. Now, we’re both better than we were before. If you need me, I’ll always be here. I know you’ve never forgotten about me, maybe we can…”

Su Ji resisted the urge to kick his stool over. She crossed her legs and looked at him from the corner of her eyes, “what? Get back together?”

Song Heng smiled and lowered his head in embarrassment, “your company doesn’t allow directors and actresses of the same project to date. We can discuss this after the filming…”

Su Ji couldn’t bear to listen to this anymore. Even if it was for the sake of the original owner, she couldn’t torture herself like that.

She stood up and placed her hand on the card.

Song Heng smiled and nodded at her.

Accepting his card meant that she was willing to bury the hatchet with him…

However, the next second, Su Ji picked up the card and shouted at Pei Xi, who had just arrived, “Pei Xi! Director Song tried to bribe me with two million yuan!”

In an instant, all the staff members’ gazes shifted to the card in her hand.

Pei Xi was shocked as well. Not because Song Heng wanted to bribe her, but he only offered two million yuan!

What an insult!

“We really can’t look down on Su Ji. Even Director Song wants to bribe her?”

“How could he do such a thing?”

He was the one who dumped Su Ji back then. Isn’t he slapping himself in the face now? ”

“Only two million! Manager Ren can pay at least twenty times what he’s offering!”

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion. Song Heng’s face was extremely ugly.

When he came back to his senses, he took the card from Su Ji’s hand and said with a stern expression, “Su Ji! Don’t talk nonsense! I only said that it’s the compensation for breaking up with you! If you don’t want it, then forget it!”

Of course, Su Ji didn’t care about it. She could earn more from selling her herbs.

“There’s one more thing,” she smiled and whispered into Song Heng’s ear, “I’m not sick…”

Song Heng’s body stiffened, “what are you saying?”

Su Ji slowly got up and left, leaving him on a cliffhanger. She did not explain further…

Meanwhile, in Continent M.

Xu Mingzhi closed her eyes and looked at the recording of her daughter at the press conference.

She did not know why, but she felt that Su Ji was different from the Su Ji she knew before.

That feeling was especially familiar and it was distracting her from work.

Her secretary was Wei Wei. She wore a pair of silver-rimmed glasses and was a very capable woman, just like Xu Mingzhi.

She could read the boss’ mind. “Boss, you haven’t been back to your home country for a few years.”

Xu Mingzhi was very conflicted.

She knew very well that even though Su Ji looked exactly like her daughter, she was not her real daughter.

Xu Mingzhi did not want to use the current Su Ji as a substitute, and she would not betray her real daughter!

She had worked hard all her life for the sake of her daughter in the great Shang Dynasty.

The only love in her life was for her daughter.

Even Su Cunyi could not have it!

She would never forget their days in the great Shang Dynasty. They drifted on the sea and made a lot of money together. Finally, before she died, she bribed Su Peicheng with a large sum of money to send her daughter to the palace. At that time, the king was already in his 70s, so it would be equivalent to sending her daughter to work with the government.

Without doing anything, she could live a good life.

Now that she was alone in the modern world, she felt like a walking corpse even though she had enough money to last several lifetimes.

In the past, she only earned money for the sake of his daughter’s happiness. But now…

What was the point of her earning money?

Wei Wei looked at her with heartache, “boss, we have a new project in China. You can take this opportunity to go back and see your daughter without them knowing…”

Xu Mingzhi looked at her slowly.

Wei Wei smiled, “have you forgotten about the trick you always do?”
