Attached to this prenuptial agreement was a document personally signed by Song Jiaye. Song Jiaye was willing to transfer his shares in Lishi Film Industry to Li Xiyu.
When Ming Yuexuan was talking to Li Qiyu about the shares, Li Qiyu naturally didn't understand.
"What are shares?"
"They're property, but more importantly, a form of power. That is to say, Song Jiaye is giving up the controlling rights of this company. He's willing to go from being a boss to a salaried employee. You know, Lishi Film Industry was his hard - earned achievement. It's really hard to understand why he's doing this."
When outsiders hear about Lishi Film Industry, they just assume it was founded by the Li family and handed over to Song Jiaye after his marriage to Li Xiyu. Even the Li family members think so now.
Actually, the predecessor of Lishi Film Industry was called Jiaye Studio. It was founded by Song Jiaye and several of his friends. At first, it wasn't a film company. They mainly shot advertisements and made interesting short videos. Song Jiaye's friends were in charge of shooting, while he was mainly responsible for business.
Ming Yuexuan sighed, "You told me all this before. At that time, you thought highly of their studio and were willing to invest in them for free. But your father didn't think a few college students could achieve anything significant, so he rejected your investment application. Because your father disagreed, you even borrowed money from me."
"What happened later?"
"Later, you made a small profit. Since I lent you money, I was a small shareholder, so I also got a share of the profits. I received twice as much as my investment."
Of course, this amount of money meant nothing to the eldest miss of the Li family. But it at least proved that Li Xiyu had a good investment vision.
At that time, Ming Yuexuan even joked, "If there's such a good opportunity next time, remember to let me know."
Unfortunately, something happened in the middle. Li Xiyu withdrew her investment and stopped contacting them. It wasn't until a year later that she saw Song Jiaye on TV. Song Jiaye shot a documentary and became a little - known star overnight.
But Song Jiaye only appeared on TV once. After that, he retired.
The next time he appeared in the public eye, he was already Li Xiyu's husband. And the official blog of Jiaye Studio officially announced that it had changed its name to Lishi Film Industry.
From then on, Lishi Film Industry advanced by leaps and bounds. With two or three well - received and commercially successful movies in a row, it became a fresh force in the entertainment industry. And Jiaye Studio was never mentioned again.
Li Qiyu listened to Ming Yuexuan talking about Song Jiaye's past. She asked a question that she had always wanted to ask.
"Why, even though Song Jiaye treated me badly, did Li Xiyu... that is, me, still not want to divorce, and even, as you said, was willing to invest money to support him? Why did she love him so much?"
It's said that modern people are open - minded and free. Especially someone like Li Xiyu, who was much better off than Song Jiaye in terms of conditions. She could have divorced Song Jiaye and found someone who liked her more or at least was more obedient.
Why torture herself like this?
Moreover, since Li Qiyu had time - traveled here, the most she had heard was how much Li Xiyu loved Song Jiaye and how much she had sacrificed for him. But Song Jiaye was cold - hearted and ungrateful.
First of all, Li Qiyu needed to investigate whether Song Jiaye was really cold - hearted. At least for now, he seemed to be quite patient.
As for what had happened between Song Jiaye and Li Xiyu, it needed to be dug deeper.
Li Qiyu always felt that there seemed to be a discrepancy between the rumors and what she had seen.
This question stumped Ming Yuexuan. She thought seriously for a while and suddenly realized something.
"Why are you asking me this? If you want to ask, ask yourself."
"Okay."
Song Jiaye was also a man of few words. Chances were that he would just keep silent when asked about something. It seemed that she had to find the answer herself.
Ming Yuexuan flopped onto the bed and said, "Oh, why do you think so much about it? Anyway, now that you have the prenuptial agreement, it's an easy thing to divorce Song Jiaye."
Ming Yuexuan counted on her fingers, "If I remember correctly, you met Song Jiaye at 18, broke off contact with him after graduating at 22, and got married to him on your 24th birthday. Now you're 28, and the term of your agreement is three years..."
Ming Yuexuan said in surprise, "According to the prenuptial agreement, you and Song Jiaye should have divorced a long time ago!"
Li Qiyu said seriously, "Yes, I even wrote a letter of divorce for him!"
Ming Yuexuan said, "Don't mention that letter of divorce. It has no legal effect. Oh, right, you can ask your lawyer about this. Maybe he knows more."
Li Qiyu remembered Song Jiaye's promise that they would divorce in half a year. She shook her head at Ming Yuexuan and said, "It's not necessary."
"What?"
"I'm not going to fight a lawsuit with Song Jiaye. There's no need to find a lawyer."
In Li Qiyu's opinion, a lawyer was only needed when there was a dispute. There was no dispute between her and Song Jiaye for now.
"Oh, a lawyer is..."
Ming Yuexuan glanced at Li Qiyu and buried her head in the quilt helplessly.
"Forget it. It's useless to tell you. Even if you ask the lawyer now, you won't understand."
Looking at Li Xiyu, who was as innocent as a child, Ming Yuexuan thought that although she had become silly, it seemed that fortune favored the foolish. She had the prenuptial agreement when she wanted to divorce, her relationship with Song Jiaye had improved, and even that little schemer Li Xichi had been tamed by her.
This was the kind of life a person should live.
Li Xiyu in the past wasn't so comfortable. She was almost always suspicious. They all thought it was Song Jiaye who had forced her into such a state. They advised her to divorce, but whoever dared to advise her would make Li Qiyu fly into a rage.
What could be said about the relationship between Li Xiyu and Song Jiaye at that time?
It was the kind that she could argue with Song Jiaye to the point of a huge row, but no one else could say a single bad word about him.
Ming Yuexuan returned the phone to Li Qiyu. Li Qiyu looked at so many red dots in this WeChat account. They were all people she didn't know. That was Li Xiyu's life, not hers. Being bombarded with so many messages all at once made her feel a bit at a loss.
Finally, she chose to switch back to another WeChat account. It was the one Song Jiaye had applied for with a new SIM card when he gave her this new phone. In the contact list, only Song Jiaye's name lay quietly, with the remark "Violent Maniac".
Li Xichi was quite trustworthy this time. She left Xiyu Villa early the next morning. However, the aftermath of her stay in Xiyu Villa didn't disappear just because she had left.
Because of Li Xichi's stay, Li Qiyu became famous. She inexplicably became the focus of everyone. All the hot searches were about "The Eldest Miss of the Li Family is Truly Stunning".
