"This is certainly good news."

When Lu Zhixing smiled, his peach blossom eyes seemed both drunk and not drunk, making him most captivating.

He didn't turn off the engine, and the air conditioning was still on in the car.

The warmth from the heater made Tang Li feel a little sleepy.

“Yunxi knew you were Tang Yuan’s sister, yet she still invited you to the banquet tomorrow night. This is enough to prove that even if Yunxi had a confidentiality agreement, it doesn’t mean she believed Tang Yuan was guilty. This is the biggest breakthrough.”

yes.

That really was a wake-up call.

Tang Li hadn't expected this at all.

However, Lu Zhixing reminded her: "But we can't investigate this matter in a big way yet. After all, this matter involves a lot of people. Before we have solid evidence, we have to be very careful with every step we take."

"Especially since the Tang family is currently in a life-or-death situation, we still need to lie low until you have secured your position."

"Therefore, when facing Lin Yiyun, it is best to avoid her sharp edge and never confront her directly."

Lu Zhixing's words made sense.

Tang Li understands the principles, but he may not be able to put them into practice.

For example, the slap Lin Yiyun gave her tonight—she couldn't swallow that anger if she didn't retaliate.

It was only after getting out of the car and returning to the living room, in the bright light, that Lu Zhixing saw the palm print on Tang Li's left cheek.

Who hit him?

Lu Zhixing, who had just advised Tang Li to be patient, now had murderous intent in his eyes.

He reached out to touch her face, but Tang Li stepped back to avoid it.

At this moment in the hospital, Huo Chenyu was persuading Lin Yiyun to go back and rest, and asked Jiang Mian to take her home.

Lin Yiyun couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she left Jiang Mian behind and said her assistant would come to pick her up.

Back in the ward, Jiang Mian told Huo Chenyu that Lin Yiyun had two very obvious handprints on her face.

He was beaten, but remained silent.

This doesn't quite fit Lin Yiyun's personality.

Huo Chenyu asked him to check the surveillance footage. When he saw that Lin Yiyun had slapped Tang Li first, Huo Chenyu's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

After a moment of silence, he put down his phone and said to Jiang Mian:

"Call Lu Zhu and ask her for a favor."

Are they going to fire him again?

Jiang Mian trembled: "Boss, what did I do wrong this time?"

Do you really not know where you went wrong?

Could it be that the mistake was not to discover in time that the lady was being beaten?

Or was it that the beating of the new wife was not discovered in time?

"You talked too much and dragged your feet when I asked you to do something." Huo Chenyu urged, "Hurry up and tell Lu Zhu that I really liked the scent of the skincare product she used last time. Ask her to buy an exact set and send it to Weiran Waterside."

It's for Lin Yiyun.

Jiang Mian responded with an "oh," somewhat disappointed.

Between his new love and his old love, the new love ultimately takes up more of his heart.

Huo Chenyu heard Jiang Mian's "oh" but didn't say anything.

He didn't say a word about Tang Li.

Jiang Mian wanted to ask a few questions, but seeing that he had already lay down and closed his eyes, he had no choice but to give up.

Weiran by the water.

The assistant boiled two eggs for Lin Yiyun to apply as a hot compress to reduce the swelling, but it burned her so badly she grimaced. Her phone remained silent all night. Her manager came looking for her that very night and, seeing her injury, couldn't help but be a little angry.

“My little darling, although you will announce your retirement after filming this movie, the contract we signed will not end until the movie is released. During this period, you will still be a hot female star. Your face is the most precious thing, and it cannot be damaged in the slightest.”

Lin Yiyun was well aware of this.

Even if she stops being a female celebrity, she'll still be Mrs. Huo.

Her face is always her source of pride, and of course she knows she should take good care of it.

However, those two slaps were truly unexpected.

Lin Yiyun had no words to express her suffering, so she could only ask in frustration:

"Sister Xing, what brings you here so late?"

Agent Nanxing then complained:

"What's wrong with you two? I can't get through to your phones."

Assistant Nanzhi panicked. After glancing at her phone, she lowered her head and whispered, "Sister, my phone ran out of battery and shut down automatically."

Then she bent down to pick up Lin Yiyun's phone: "Sister Yun's phone... is on silent."

After leaving the venue, she went straight to the hospital and didn't stop until she returned.

Although Nanxing was angry, he was more concerned about Lin Yiyun's face.

"Nanzhi, please help Xiaoyun apply a hot compress."

"Xiaoyun, don't drink water before bed, be careful of swelling. Tomorrow night at Oasis Night, I got inside information that you won the Most Popular Actress Award. I've prepared your dress and makeup. And next week at the Star Awards, if nothing unexpected happens, you'll win the Best Actress Award."

These awards are all insignificant.

Lin Yiyun is far from being as good as Zhou Qiao, a three-time Golden Horse Award-winning actress.

She seemed a little absent-minded: "I'm about to retire from acting, and I've already won so many small awards that it doesn't matter whether I go or not."

An award with no real value is no longer a compliment to her.

Nanxing wanted to comfort her, saying that she would definitely be nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Magnolia Awards for her role in "The Female General," and if she could win it, it would be a perfect ending to her career.

But this drama is a sore spot that Lin Yiyun can't touch.

Nanxing sighed.

However, the thought of being thoroughly outshone by Tang Li at two consecutive banquets rekindled Lin Yiyun's fighting spirit:

"Sister Xing, I will go tomorrow."

Seeing this, Nanxing offered further advice:

"That show should air in March next year, or at the latest June. In the meantime, if you're willing to continue acting, I'll keep an eye out for good scripts for you."
