Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shen Sisi’s heart was in a mess. If her reputation was tarnished, she would never be accepted by any rich family, let alone the entertainment industry. Would anyone marry her? Would Zhuang Li want her? Would Cheng Songyang despise her? If that was the case, her dad Shen Yong would never let her off! Did Yang Xue have evidence in her hands? No, she did not. How could a stupid woman like Yang Xue have any evidence?
“Yang Xue, that’s great. Sister Hanxing is willing to help you. You can finally live a good life!” Shen Sisi rolled her eyes and revealed a delighted smile. “I have no way to interfere with the contract that the company signed with you. However, it’s different if Sister Hanxing can help you. Things will be a lot better! Yang Xue, your future is bright. You must be more open-minded.”

You just need to have the evidence!” She sounded like she was happy for Yang Xue. However, she was actually putting the blame on the company. She was also hinting to Yang Xue that Shen Hanxing would not help her without evidence.
Yang Xue’s eyes sparkled with hope. There was a hint of struggle and hesitation in her eyes. The man in the corner knew that he had no chance. He sneakily got up and tried to escape. He could no longer get the money, so he did not want to cause any more trouble. He could leave now while no one was paying attention to him. However, just as he got up, he was kicked in the face.
Ji Yan’s luxurious custom-made leather shoes stepped on the man’s face. His eyes were filled with a bloody coldness. “Where do you want to go?”
“Hey… Don’t go too far!” The man’s face turned pale. He forced himself to say, “I won’t argue with you about the fight. I just want to go to the hospital. What, are you trying to be unreasonable just because you are rich?”
“I shouldn’t be unreasonable, but you shouldn’t break the law too.” Ji Yan looked at the man with a mocking gaze. “You attempted a murder. Are you trying to run away?”
The scene was in an uproar after hearing that. They were quite loud. Plus, they were coincidentally captured by the phone camera. The audience in the live broadcast room could easily hear their voices.

There were also dissenting voices saying that Ji Yan was thinking too much. They thought the man was simply trying to save Yang Xue. The live broadcast room was a mess. Everyone had their own opinions. However, none of them could affect Ji Yan. His expression was ice-cold as he looked at the man with a mocking smile. He said, “The clothes you’re wearing are all from street stalls. The average bill per head of the restaurant here is more than 8,000 yuan. Can you afford it?”
“I. . . I want to be extravagant for once, can’t I?” The man’s face was flushed red. He was very flustered. His mouth was full of nonsense as he quibbled, “You rich people can live a life of luxury. Can’t I relax once in a while?”
“Of course you can. The calluses on your hands and the marks on your face show that you’re a manual worker. There are calluses on your neck… Perhaps you’re working at a construction site. Perhaps you have been moving bricks?” Ji Yan’s expression did not change. His voice was cold. His pleasant cello-like voice sounded like thunder in the man’s ears. “It’s your freedom to spend a month of your living expenses as a brick-moving worker. However, you deliberately shouted and scared Yang Xue who’s already agitated. More importantly, most of us would stretch our arms out to save someone, but you’re pushing…”
After a pause, Ji Yan frowned in disgust. Smelling the alcohol on the man’s body, he sneered and said, “Did you have alcohol while eating just now? Did you have a premonition that you were going to become rich, so you celebrated in advance?” Without drinking, the bill per head would be around 8,000 yuan. In a high-class restaurant, not everybody could afford ordering alcoholic drinks. It was extravagant enough for a manual worker to spend more than a month’s salary to have a meal here. Why would he go extra miles to drink alcohol?
