After Being Framed by Her Family, She was Pampered by a CEO from a Rich Family

Chapter 25

Zhang Li looked at the phone that had been hung up. Her face was contorted with anger.

Jing Yuan sat on the sofa and admired her newly-made nails. Seeing Zhang Li’s exasperated look, her gaze shifted.

She leaned in front of Zhang Li and held her shoulders. “Mom, what did Yaoyao say?”

Looking at her obedient eldest daughter, Zhang Li felt a little comforted, but she hated Jing Yao even more.

“This d*mn girl hung up before I could finish speaking. She even turned off her phone. She’s grown up now and doesn’t even care about me, her mother.”

Jing Yuan comforted her. “Mom, don’t be angry. The key now is to figure out where Yaoyao got the money to terminate the contract. That’s a huge fee.”

Zhang Li had been thinking about this matter. She thought for a moment and said to Jing Yuan, “Yuanyuan, call Little Chen and ask him if he knows where this wretched girl is.”

Jing Yuan’s eyes darkened and she felt a little disdainful.

How could he know that the two of them had nothing to do with each other?

However, Jing Yuan thought of something and took out her cell phone to call Wen Chen.

Wen Chen was a little impatient when he saw the caller ID. He had just gotten into an argument with Ji Wei over Jing Yao yesterday. Now, he was frustrated whenever he thought of anything related to Jing Yao, not to mention that Jing Yuan was Jing Yao’s sister.

However, he still chose to answer the call after more than 10 seconds.

“Brother Chen, what are you doing now?”

Wen Chen was tired of responding. He asked directly, “Yuanyuan, what’s the matter? I have a meeting later.”

Jing Yuan wanted to take the opportunity to chat with Wen Chen, but hearing his words, she could only follow Zhang Li’s request and ask, “Brother Chen, have you been in contact with Yaoyao recently?”

Hearing that, Wen Chen suddenly remembered that he had been blocked by Jing Yao. He was furious. “Why would I contact her?”

Jing Yuan was stunned for a moment. She could hear the anger in Wen Chen’s words. She suppressed the hidden joy in her heart and said gently, “Brother Chen, don’t be angry. It’s all Yaoyao’s fault for being insensible. We have spoiled her since she was young. She hasn’t been home for more than a month and she didn’t answer Mom’s calls. We’re worried that she will go astray outside alone. What if something like what happened last time happens again…”

Wen Chen frowned, but before he could say anything, Zhang Li’s voice came from the other end.

“Yuanyuan, give me your cell phone. I’ll talk to Little Chen.”

Actually, Jing Yuan did not want to give her the cell phone. Sometimes, Zhang Li did not use her brain when she spoke, but since Zhang Li had already spoken, she could not reject her. She could only hand the cell phone to Zhang Li.

“Little Chen, if you have any news about Jing Yao, tell us. She actually went to the company to terminate her contract this morning and simply took out 50 million yuan in termination fees. Where did she get the money?”

“50 million?” Wen Chen found it unbelievable. “Why is her termination fee so high? Was it set when she signed the contract?”

Wen Chen was in charge of such a large corporation himself. Although his businesses did not involve the entertainment industry, he could still feel that the penalty for breach of contract was ridiculously high. Jing Yao was not a popular celebrity.

Zhang Li immediately realized that she had said something wrong and fell silent. She was a partner in the entertainment company that Jing Yao signed with. Her goal was actually very simple. She wanted to trap Jing Yao with an astronomical penalty.

“This was decided by the company. We can’t do anything about it. Little Chen, you’re busy with work, so I won’t disturb you. If you have any news about Jing Yao, tell me. I’m just worried about her.”

After hanging up, Wen Chen looked at his cell phone and did not speak for a long time. However, his heart was filled with doubts and frustration.

He was frustrated because Jing Yuan’s last sentence reminded him of the mark on Jing Yao’s neck, but he was puzzled because of Zhang Li’s words.

Jing Yao had signed a contract with the company in high school. At that time, she was not even an adult and could not make her own decisions, so Zhang Li must have helped her sign the contract.

With such a high compensation, which parent would let their child in? Wasn’t this completely binding Jing Yao?

Also, why was Zhang Li so confused about why Jing Yao could take out 50 million yuan?

Jing Yao had worked for so many years and her looks were considered top-notch in the entertainment industry. It was not difficult for the entertainment industry to earn money now. If Jing Yao kept the money she earned, she should have saved enough.

Wen Chen had a headache because of these questions. While he was thinking about something, he had already typed Jing Yao’s name on the search engine.

Wen Chen wasn’t the only one searching for Jing Yao. Liang Xun was also searching for her.
