Chapter 993: But I Have a Condition

"Ha, okay!" Zhang Xiuying replied cheerfully to Old Madam Han's words while looking provocatively at Han Xiwang.         

    

Han Xiwang felt very angry and anxious at the same time. He had come here to resolve the conflict, not to destabilize it.     

"Xiuying..." Han Xiwang's face was burning. Even so, he had to lower his head because he was surrounded by the Han Family. He no longer had the impressive demeanor he used to have. He looked at Zhang Xiuying with a sigh. "How much more trouble do you want to find? If you remarry, you still have to get used to your new husband, and if he has children, you have to accept his children too. What if... What if we do not get divorced? We can live a better life in the future."     

Old Madam Han and Old Man Han looked at each other, but neither of them said anything.     

Zhang Xiuying knew what Han Xiwang was up to when he came to this gathering. He either wanted to disrupt this gathering or reconcile with her.     

Seeing Han Xiwang's desperate face, Zhang Xiuying laughed coldly. "Not getting divorced? Can you promise me that you will not cause any family conflict in our family in the future?"     

"I can!" Han Xiwang immediately puffed out his chest. "Cihui and Jia Qiulian are already married and I haven't said anything. Whatever you say in the future, I will do it. I have no objections."     

"Even if you have an objection, no one will listen to you!" Zhang Xiuying snorted and picked up her chopsticks to take the food. She completely ignored Han Xiwang's fawning demeanor.     

Han Xiwang really had no other choice. He knew that it would be extremely difficult to convince Zhang Xiuying at the moment. He looked at Old Madam Han and Old Man Han for help.     

Old Madam Han and Old Man Han pretended not to see him. Old Man Han went to have a drink with Qiao Hongya, while Old Madam Han talked with Luo Yanyun, leaving Han Xiwang alone.     

Han Xiwang was so depressed that he almost cried. He did not understand. Zhang Xiuying was going to divorce him, and this time she was determined. Why didn't Old Madam Han and Old Man Han help him say a few words?     

Sigh. There was no other way.     

Han Xiwang looked at Han Cihui's face.     

Han Cihui turned his face away and looked at Jia Qiulian. He asked with a smile, "Lianlian, what do you want to eat? I'll take it for you."     

When Jia Qiulian looked at Han Cihui, she accidentally entered Han Xiwang's line of sight. She quickly turned the other way, as if she had been electrocuted. She lowered her head and whispered, "I can do it myself."     

"It's okay." Han Cihui squeezed Jia Qiulian's hand under the table. "We are already husband and wife. Don't be shy. It's natural for a husband to take care of his wife."     

Jia Qiulian could not say anything else. Besides, Han Xiwang was sitting next to Han Cihui. Even though she was whispering to Han Cihui, Han Xiwang could still hear her.     

If she persuaded Han Cihui to help Han Xiwang say something nice in front of Zhang Xiuying, Han Cihui would definitely reject her immediately, and Han Xiwang would be completely embarrassed.     

Not only would he be embarrassed, but he might even hate her in his heart.     

Jia Qiulian took the chopsticks and ate the food taken by Han Cihui.     

Liang Zixuan saw that Jia Qiulian was really embarrassed, so she opened her mouth and asked, "Qiulian, how is your script doing?"     

Jia Qiulian stopped eating and smiled at her. "I haven't written much. I only wrote a little this morning. Along with the script that Cihui has already written, we have finished the script for two episodes."     

"I see." Liang Zixuan nodded and stopped eating as well. She was seriously talking with Jia Qiulian. "Then, if you have time tomorrow, go to the Han Group."     

"Huh?" Jia Qiulian was stunned, not understanding what Liang Zixuan meant. "Go to the Han Group?"     

"Yes." Liang Zixuan looked at Jia Qiulian reproachfully and said with a smile. "You first need to go through the official procedure before you can sell the copyrights of your two books to us. Tomorrow, we will take care of this matter together."     

Speaking of this, Qin Yu also became intrigued and quickly interfered. "Auntie is right. Qiulian, sell the copyrights of your two books to aunt. When the time comes, I can be the female lead."         

    

Han Cihui immediately glared at Qin Yu. "Even though Qiulian sold the copyrights of her two books to Han Group, I am the director, so I will be the one to decide who will act as the female lead!"     

"Uncle Cihui!" Qin Yu was anxious. She slammed her chopsticks on the table. "You can't do that! Those two books are my favorite novels. I want to act as the female lead. You have to let me act!"     

Han Cihui felt proud of himself. "Why are you in such a hurry? The copyrights are still in Qiulian's hands. Did she say that she will sell them to the Han Group? After all, the price has not been discussed yet, and you are already very excited."     

Qin Yu pouted sadly and turned around to hold Liang Zixuan's hand. "Auntie, look at him! Ever since he got a wife, his butt has been sticking up to the sky!"     

Liang Zixuan laughed softly. "He's always like that and it's not like you don't know. Speaking of copyright..."     

She turned to Han Yuanjun. "Hubby, I want to buy the copyrights of Qiulian's books. What price range can you give me?"     

Han Yuanjun placed a plate of fish meat next to Liang Zixuan and smiled lovingly at her. "Have I ever given you a price range? You can offer as much as you want."     

The smile on his face was as warm as it could be.     

Liang Zixuan narrowed her eyes when she heard him. She raised her hand and pulled Han Yuanjun's face down, rewarding him with a kiss on his face. "Hubby, you are the best!"     

Han Yuanjun raised his eyebrow and kissed her back. "Good thing that you know."     

Liang Zixuan turned around and her eyes landed on Jia Qiulian's face. She seemed to be thinking seriously and then said, "We usually buy the author's copyright depending on the sales figures of the book. Qiulian, the sales figures for your two books are too high, and it would not be good if we offered you a low price. I don't want people to say I'm using my kinship to bully you later. How about this... We first buy the rights to your first book to adapt it for the TV series. I'll give you six million. What do you think of that?"     

Six million?     

Jia Qiulian didn't expect that the book she had once written could be sold with high copyright!     

This was also because she had been abroad for several years and did not know much about the current situation in the country.     

Many popular online novels had been adapted into dramas, and the price was not low.     

Han Cihui knew more about this matter than Jia Qiulian, so he said, "Lianlian, six million is already very good. It is neither a ridiculously high price nor a low price where you might lose out. It can be said that the price offered by sister-in-law is the market price."     

After hearing Han Cihui's words, Jia Qiulian finally knew that the amount Liang Zixuan gave her was not based on favor, but based on the market price.     

In this way, she felt reassured. "Yes, but I have a condition."     

Liang Zixuan nodded. "Speak."     

Jia Qiulian bit her lip and secretly looked at Han Cihui. She said neither disrespectfully nor arrogantly. "For a writer, a novel is like her own child. I don't want to find a stepmother for my child, so... I want to be the screenwriter for it. I want to change the script and decorate the script personally. I don't know if you would agree or not, but this is my condition."
