Chapter 1403: Meeting An Lan again

“So, he’s going to fight tooth and nail on this?” Yan Su was fuming. “I spent a lot of time on ‘Fearless,’ so there’s no way I’m going to let him own the masters to the song. He says he’s only going to give me the rights to perform the song, but he gets to keep the earnings from all my performances. That’s ludicrous.”

Xiang Wan sighed. “If only we had the manuscript. Why did you hand it over to him? I’ll go look through the contract and see if we can settle this out of court; if not, we’ll have to follow protocol with our legal team.”

“Okay,” said Yan Su, nodding. Her head was spinning. She never saw this coming.

...

Over the next few days, Xiang Wan tried to mediate things with Ye Yunchang’s managing company, but they proposed an earnings ratio of 2:7. Yan Su would only be keeping 20% of the profits. Xiang Wan was outraged, and she posted the lawyer’s letter online.

Once again, Yan Su was in the headlines.

When Mo Liuxi heard the news in school, he called Yan Su immediately. “Do you want me to settle this for you? Ye Yunchang is asking for a beating.”

If he had known this during the auditions, he wouldn’t have suggested him to sing the theme song with Yan Su.

“How are you going to settle this? By kicking him out of the entertainment industry?” Yan Su was frustrated. “He’s not going to budge. We’ve already received some pretty good offers from streaming networks for streaming rights to this song. He is dying to grab hold of the masters of this track. I’ll be meeting An Lan in a couple of days to discuss the case. I’ll get back to you.”

“An Lan?” Mo Liuxi raised his brow.

“Yeah, I signed a contract with the company. She’ll be in charge of all of my cases from now on.” Yan Su laughed and said, she settled the copyright case for me last time, too.”

Mo Liuxi got annoyed at the mention of An Lan’sname, but he trusted her professional abilities, no doubt. He had heard from Nian Junting that Shengting had signed a long-term working contract with An Lan’s law firm and that An Lan was getting better at her craft. She wasn’t considered a top lawyer yet because of her young age, but her reputation and track record rivaled that of a top lawyer.

...

On Saturday, An Lan flew over to Hangzhou to meet up with Yan Su. They discussed the case.

When she met An Lan again, Yan Su found that she was even sharper and more fashionable than before. Her black hair was tied up in an up-do, and she carried a sleek leather case. She looked sexy and intimidating at the same time, especially her gaze. It seemed as though there was nothing she could hide from this formidable woman in front of her. Yan Su thought that maybe all top lawyers looked like this.

When they talked about the loopholes in the contract, An Lan was quick and precise to point out the main points.

Yan Su thought about An Ning again. The two sisters were so different from one another, like day and night.

Sigh...

“Miss Yan, why are you sighing?” An Lan stopped talking about the contract. She just paused and smiled reassuringly.

“I just... I just thought of An Ning,” Yan Su stammered.

An Lan sighed upon hearing her sister’s name. “Why? Do you think that we’re completely different from one another?”

“You have different personalities,” Yan Su said, smiling.

“My parents spoiled An Ning rotten. They’re too easy on her,” An Lan sighed. “I haven’t seen her in a long time. Last year, she ran away out of fear for Mo Liuxi.”

Whaaat? Yan Su was confused. Wait a minute...

An Lan explained, “The school expelled her, didn’t they? My parents brought her to Mo Liuxi’s place, and he threw her into the little pond in winter. She had to be hospitalized for several days. I told her to enroll in a professional course, but she wouldn’t listen and just ran away. I haven’t heard from her since.”

Yan Su was horrified. No, no, no. This couldn’t be true. Or could it?
