Chapter 796 Shu Yi's Attitude
Yan Xin comforted Cai Qixiang: "Uncle, you don't have to worry about this. I've seen how the two siblings are together. They have a good relationship. Little Mango also seems to like this brother very much."

"I hope that's true." Cai Qixiang said.

That was all he could hope for.

For him, there weren't many choices.

I used to think that I could live another 10 or 20 years, so that I could wait until my grandson grew up and have enough time to arrange everything for him.

But now that he has this disease, he doesn’t know how long he can live in the future.

Wanting to see my grandson grow up is already a luxury.

He was depressed and had not yet recovered from the shock of being diagnosed with cancer. He had lost confidence in the future and doubted that everything would go as he had expected.

I talked with Yan Xin for a long time, and what he expressed most was his worry about the future.

He mentioned more than once that he would feel more at ease if the child grew up with Ai Lili and Yan Xin.

Yan Xin also made a promise to him:

"Uncle, don't worry. As long as Sister Lily and I are still here, we won't let anyone suck blood from Xiao Kun. We will let him stay with us forever."

What Yan Xin needs to do now is to make Cai Qixiang cancel his plan to give more shares to the Cai family.

It doesn't matter if he gives a little, but if he gives too much, he would feel reluctant to give it away - it belongs to his son.

After a long period of persuasion, Cai Qixiang finally felt relieved.

When sending him and Cai Kun back, Yan Xin could still feel the old man's depressed spirit.

It really looks pitiful.

I told this to Elili when I was walking with her in the evening.

Ai Lili was also stunned for a moment: "He has cancer? He didn't even tell me."

"The results were only detected a few days ago. Maybe they were afraid that you would be sad." Yan Xin said.

Ai Lili was silent for a while before she whispered:
"I won't be too sad... I'm just an illegitimate daughter. I've always felt inferior because of my status. I actually have some hatred towards him... Our relationship is not that deep..."

Having said that, the mood was visibly low.

Yan Xin held her hand and said, "Birth, aging, sickness and death are inevitable. You should be more open-minded."

Ai Lili smiled at him and said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about my condition. I've already said that we don't have such a deep relationship that we can accept all this."

The two walked hand in hand for a while, and Ai Lili couldn't help but say: "He usually pays attention to his health, this shouldn't be..."

He added: "I should have advised him not to smoke. Maybe if he had quit smoking, he wouldn't have gotten this disease..."

There was some self-blame in his voice.

It is said that there is no emotion, but it is impossible to say that there is no emotion at all.

Although she hated him, he was her biological father after all. He provided her with a good material environment and was usually quite nice to her - if you couldn't compare him with her half-brother.

How can we really remain indifferent?
Yan Xin sighed.

He knew that the emotions between relatives were very complicated. Sometimes he would have great hatred towards a relative, but if he really lost the relative, he would also feel very sad.

There is no logic to this thing.

Said to Ai Lili: "Look at the bright side. Medical technology is advanced now, and your father is not short of money. His cancer is not in the advanced stage yet. Maybe it can be cured."

"I hope so." said Ellie.

After a while, he asked Yan Xin:

"Do you think that he has this disease and his current physical condition is not very good, is it really possible to cure it?"

"Everything is possible. We must believe in the future," said Yan Xin.

They were walking in the villa area, and as they walked they came to the gate of Cai Qixiang's villa.

Ai Lili stood there for a while and asked Yan Xin:

"Should I go visit him?"

Yan Xin took a look and saw that the lights inside were off, so he said, "Don't worry about it tonight. He should have rested by now. It's not good for his health to disturb his rest. If you want to visit him, go visit him tomorrow."

"Yeah." Ai Lili responded.

In the end, I didn't go in.

That night, while lying in bed, Yan Xin saw Ai Lili holding her mobile phone and searching for information about lung cancer on the Internet.

The search took more than an hour.

His frown deepened.

Finally, it was Yan Xin who reminded her that since she was pregnant, she should not sleep too late and should go to bed early.

Only then did she put down her phone.

After turning off the lights, she didn't fall asleep so quickly. After a long time, she sighed again.

Yan Xin didn't say anything, just patted her gently.

The next day, which was not the weekend, Ai Lili did not go to work, but instead spent the day with Cai Qixiang.

Yan Xin did not go with them, but went to work at Starlight Group.

While at work, I called Zeng Yan who was far away in Beijing and asked about the first TV series "The Journey of Flower" produced by Starlight Film and Television Company.

It is summer vacation now, and "The Journey of Flower" will be aired in a few days.

This is the first work they produced themselves, and everyone in the company attaches great importance to it, including Yan Xin.

Although the cast was similar to what he remembered from his previous life, the production team was different. He was not sure whether it could have the same effect.

Whether a TV series can be successful cannot depend solely on the actors.

Director and screenwriter are very important.

Costumes and props are also very important.

But Yan Xin only remembered who the actors were in this TV series, and never cared about who the director was, let alone the screenwriter.

As for costumes and props, who cares about this?
It’s not that we can’t afford it, but we simply don’t know what the original production team is like, so there’s no way to hire them.

I just hope the effect can be similar - even if it is not as good, at least it can be discounted by 8%, that would be quite a success.

The TV series is currently being sold at a good price. It was bought by Mango TV at a relatively high price, and it also came with a love package for promotion on their flagship variety show.

Judging from the price offered by Mango TV, the investment has almost paid off.

However, if the ratings are not good, it will affect whether the TV series produced by their company in the future can be sold at a good price, and will also affect the price of the TV series when it is sold to video websites and local TV stations for a second round of broadcasts.

Whether a TV series can be sold at a good price in the second round of broadcasting on video websites and local TV stations is related to whether the TV series can make money and how much money it can make. The price offered by these places has a lot to do with the ratings of the first round of broadcasting.

Starlight Group does not have its own long video website, so it is not quite suitable to put such a TV series on a short video platform.

Yan Xin really cares about whether this first shot can be successful.

Zeng Yan reported the current situation to Yan Xin.

The show will be aired in a few days, and Mango TV has already started their promotion. Not only has it aired the trailer on its own TV station, but it has also placed promotional advertisements on major social media platforms.

This also includes the Starlight short video platform.

All of the company's artists who are somewhat famous have also promoted the news that the TV series will be aired on Mango Channel soon, regardless of whether they are performing in the TV series or not.

Mango TV will also adopt the method of broadcasting new dramas alongside old dramas. The last two episodes of the currently popular TV series will be broadcast over two days, and the TV series "The Journey of Flower" will be broadcast before each episode.

This can also bring some new dramas.

She also asked Yan Xin whether he should bring all the main actors of the TV series to the Xingguang short video platform to do a live broadcast to promote it the day before the show was aired.

——Although they all belong to the Starlight Group, they are not the same company and both have great independence, so she was still a little nervous when she asked this.

Yan Xin agreed to her request without any hesitation.

This is actually a win-win result, and of course he can't refuse it.

Even if Zeng Yan didn't mention it, he would have mentioned it himself.

According to the information obtained from Zeng Yan, everything is ready and is just waiting to be broadcasted and the decision of fate will be made.

After finishing the call with Zeng Yan, he hesitated for a while and then made a video call to Shu Yi.

At this time, Shu Yi was not in Europe, but was with her daughter Xiao Mango in the United States, staying with Gu Ru.

At this time, it was summer vacation and she was traveling with her daughter.

When Yan Xin called via video, it was already night time there.

But Shuyi was not asleep at that time, and she answered the call just a few seconds after the video call.

Yan Xin looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he told her the news that Cai Qixiang had been diagnosed with lung cancer a few days ago.

Shu Yi was stunned for a moment and was also shocked by the news.

He also asked: "Is this true? You are not lying to me, are you?"

"It's true. He told me yesterday that he was in a very low mood. He can't be lying." Yan Xin was sure.

"That's great!" Shu Yi became excited. "I thought I would have to wait a long time for him to die, but now it seems that this wish will come true soon."

"It won't be soon," Yan Xin poured cold water on her. "You know, he's rich and can get the best treatment in the world. It's not in the late stage. Normally, he should have no problem living for a few more years."

Shu Yi's enthusiasm was largely reduced by his words.

He was silent for a moment, then smiled and said:

"But this is also good news. I originally thought I would have to wait another 10 or 20 years until I was old to see this day. Now it only takes a few years to see this day. This is already great."

I also envisioned life after Cai Qixiang's death:

"When he dies, I won't have to hide overseas anymore. I will immediately bring my daughter back to China and live with Xiao Kun. Our family can be together happily!"

"Well, such days won't be too far away." Yan Xin encouraged her.

In fact, there is no safety problem for Shu Yi if she does not go abroad. Cai Qixiang has no intention of doing anything to her. She is just scaring herself.

If you have done something wrong, of course you will be afraid of revenge.

Once Cai Qixiang dies, there will be no source of fear and naturally there will be no need to be afraid anymore.

Shu Yi smiled and said to him: "Thank you for bringing me this good news. It's too late tonight. I want to celebrate properly tomorrow!"

Yan Xin hesitated for a moment and said:
"I have a suggestion here - I think you can return home with your daughter and visit him now."

Shu Yi was stunned: "Why?"

"You are his daughter-in-law, and Xiao Mango is his granddaughter. Now that he is sick, isn't it normal for you to come and visit him and express your concern for the old man?" Yan Xin said.

Shu Yi glared at him and sneered:

"Why should we care about him? You know how he treats us. Now that he's sick, I didn't set off firecrackers in front of him. I'm so sorry for rushing over from abroad to visit him. Do you think we are so worthless?"

Yan Xin sighed: "He is sick now..."

"He deserves it! It's the retribution for his evil deeds!" Shu Yi snorted.

Yan Xin said: "But now that he has this disease, his mentality is a little bad. He is suspicious and thinks that Xiao Kun is too young to keep the family wealth. He has been thinking about giving more assets to those people in his clan, hoping that they can help Xiao Kun more in the future."

Shu Yi's expression changed immediately.

Yan Xin expressed his thoughts:

"So I suggest that you bring Little Mango back to China to visit him and express your attitude as a daughter-in-law."

Shu Yi was silent for a while, then said, "I'm afraid I can't act like a filial daughter-in-law."

Yan Xin laughed and said, "You don't have to make it hard on yourself. Whether you are a filial daughter-in-law or not is not important in his eyes. You just need to show him that you care about your children more than anything else, and that's all."

"I always consider them the most important." Shu Yi snorted again.

"So you can come over and show off."

Yan Xin explained to her,

"What he is most worried about now is that after he is gone, Xiao Kun is too young and has no opinion of his own. He is afraid that you will control the child and transfer his money to your family. That means the wealth of their Cai family has been drained by your Shu family, and he is certainly not happy about that. Otherwise, why would you think of transferring part of the wealth to your family? If you can convince him that you value the child more than your family, he won't have to worry about that."

Only then did Shu Yi understand what he was thinking.

After a while, he said, "In that case, I will return home in two days."

Then he said to Yan Xin:
"I will definitely take care of my mother's family if they can, but I can't use my son's money to take care of them, and they are not that good to me."

Of course, she has affection for her mother's family, but she still has some resentment about some things.

For example, he forced her to marry Cai Yue, and later did not stand up to support her when she was bullied.

That's a bit chilling.

Later, after she gave birth to Cai Kun, she gave up custody of the child and received some money from Cai Qixiang. Her family also found a way to take some money from her, but when they couldn't get it back anymore, they had some complaints against her, which made her unhappy.

For the sake of family affection, she would take care of them, but she had never really thought about how much care to give, and it was even more impossible for her to use her son's money to take care of them.

In her opinion, of course, her children are the closest to her, and all the wealth she has will eventually be given to her children, not to mention the wealth her children themselves have.

By saying this, he was actually expressing his attitude towards his mother's family to Yan Xin - Yan Xin was Cai Kun's real father, and he also had the right to worry that Shu Yi was too concerned about her mother's family, so he said this to reassure Yan Xin.
