From Sidekick to Bigshot

“What the hell is wrong with you?! You didn’t answer your phone and you didn’t answer me at the door either!” He Yan angrily questioned her son.

“I don’t like to be disturbed when I’m playing Go,” Jian Yubo replied.

“You! But I’m your mother!”

“What do you want?” Jian Yubo asked indifferently.

His eyes were still on the Go board. His index and middle fingers pinched a black piece that he prepared to play.

The indifferent attitude of Jian Yubo made He Yan incredibly angry. She didn’t know what she was meant to do.

“Yubo, I want to ask why did you take all my assets and invest them into a movie that’s likely to lose money? Also, why did you cast Mo Shiyun as the female lead in this movie?”

“Because you think that she has potential,” Jian Yubo replied.

“You… I… When did I say that she had potential?”

“Well, you gave all those resources to her.”

“But… But that’s not the same thing! I told you to give her enough resources to help her become a celebrity! I didn’t say…”

“Well, if you don’t think she has potential, then why did you invest in her?” Jian Yubo replied. He spoke like an emotionless robot.

“That’s my business!” He Yan retorted. Her expression was incredibly ugly as she said this. “Anyway, you told me that you were going to help me get the Jian family’s fortune! You can’t just lose my money like this! You have to stop the production of this movie!”

“It’s too late,” Jian Yubo replied. His tone didn’t change as he said these three words.

Upon hearing these three words, He Yan felt her blood pressure go up. “Yubo! You’re trying to kill me with this move! With that vision, how are you still planning to compete with Jian Yuncheng in the first place?!”

Jian Yubo had no investment vision at all! He was not comparable to Jian Yuncheng.

He Yan began to regret her previous decisions. She shouldn’t have given him all her assets just because he had helped her gain a small profit at the start.

It was good that he had the heart to help her get the Jian family’s assets and fortunes.

However, she should have realized that Jian Yubo was merely a Go player! He didn’t know anything about investing!

Previously, he had just been lucky!

He Yan took a deep breath before she said: “Well, you have to fix this situation! This is incredibly important to me! I worked hard for this! Especially my shares in the Jian family! I can’t lose those shares!”

“The property was given to you by my father when you got married. After you got married, the shares were given to you by Grandpa Jian. Did you even work hard for these things?”

He Yan choked.

It was true that most of her current assets had been given to her by the Jian family.

The money that she had made as an actress had been squandered already. If not, she wouldn’t have embezzled money from the Jian family’s charity fund in the first place.

He Yan questioned Jian Yubo: “What do you mean? Are you mocking your mother? So now, you have a reason for losing your mother’s assets?”

Jian Yubo slowly placed down the black piece that he was holding. He finally turned his head to look at He Yan.

“I promised you that I would help you. I won’t go back on my word.”

These words cooled He Yan’s temper. However, she still couldn’t let go of the matter: “Yubo, I’m glad that you’re willing to help me. However, the method that you’re using is incredibly unreliable and risky! It’s really easy to lose money on such a movie!”

“You don’t have a choice,” Jian Yubo replied.

Even if He Yan was unwilling, it had already happened.

Once you’ve started something, there is no turning back. He Yan’s assets had been used as collateral.

If the movie lost money, then all her assets would be taken away by the bank as well.

“Well, you better hope that the movie is a success! If not, the house that you grew up in will be gone! In fact, my shares would be gone too! My money will be your money in the future. It’s your own money that you’re screwing over. Do you know that?”
