Yin Ruohong was taken aback. Could it be that Huo Zhixing had lost his memory?

But judging from how attentive he was to Jiang Can just now, it doesn't seem like it...

He looked at Jiang Can and chuckled softly, "Who has amnesia?"

"He's my friend..."

Jiang Can thought about it again, "To be precise, they can't be considered friends, they're people my friend likes."

"It's another young lady from the Yao family, Yao Wanyin."

"Oh?" Yin Ruohong frowned.

This matter caused quite a stir a while ago, and he had heard about it, but he just didn't take it to heart.

He wouldn't care about anything that didn't concern Jiang Can, let alone something from the Yao family.

Yao Manning has already disgusted him!

"Can Can," he said earnestly, "how did you get so close to the Yao family? Whether they have another daughter or not is their business, why should you worry about it!"

"It's not that I'm close to the Yao family, it's just... this Miss Wanyin is really someone my friend likes, and I want to help them!"

“Uncle Yin,” Jiang Can said in a sweet voice, “the Yao family isn’t actually that bad. Madam Yao is very reasonable and has a strong sense of right and wrong! As for Yao Manning, I’ll just ignore her. She can’t mess with me!”

Yin Ruohong's face darkened.

He was always worried about his daughter.

But since Jiang Can had spoken to him, he couldn't bear to miss this opportunity to get closer to her.

"Uncle Yin," Jiang Can blinked her big eyes at him, "could you help me with this?"

Old Chen gave him a wink, and Yin Ruohong coughed twice before nodding.

"Let me make this clear first, I will only treat this Miss Wanyin!" Yin Ruohong said sternly. "I have no say in the Yao family's other affairs!"

...

When Mona rushed to the bar, Yao Manning was in high spirits, having taken a big gulp of whiskey and swaying her body to the rhythm of the music.

Mona sat down in the seat next to her, took off her sunglasses, and looked around.

"Alright, it's dark here, no one can see you!" Yao Manning sneered. "You're washed up. Even if someone recognizes you, do you expect them to ask for your autograph?"

"You..." Mona glanced at her defiantly, then sullenly drank her wine.

Yao Manning laughed. She was in a great mood because she had never expected that Yao Wanyin would suffer from amnesia!

This way, there's no need for any mute-making medicine; it will shut Yao Wanyin up.

Thinking of this, Yao Manning took a big gulp of wine and twisted her body even more excitedly than before.

After a while, she heard Mona whisper, "This time I paid two hundred thousand to gag that driver! Manning, don't forget to pay me back!"

Yao Manning glanced at her, "You're arguing with me over such a small amount of money?"

"This little bit of money?" Mona was already quite angry, and hearing her say that made her even angrier.

"Manning, if you don't care about this little bit of money, then transfer it to me now! Ha, I do care about this little bit of money! I'm short of 200,000!"

"Don't forget, if I hadn't bribed that driver to shut him up, he would have betrayed you long ago! You'd be in a detention center right now, and you'd be drinking and dancing here so freely?"

Yao Manning's expression changed.

Actually, she doesn't have much money now. Madam Yao was already wary of her and never let her get involved in the company's finances. She also didn't give her much pocket money each month.

All she has is the reputation of being the daughter of the Yao family.

Mona's shout drew curious glances from the surroundings. Yao Manning, feeling embarrassed, quickly pulled her over and said gently, "Oh, what are you yelling about! I was just joking with you!"

"You helped me solve such a big problem, of course I should thank you properly!"

"Here, this is for you!"

Yao Manning smiled and pulled out an admission ticket.

Mona took a closer look in the dim light and her eyes widened immediately.

"This...this is a grand event hosted by Qingshan Entertainment?"

“Exactly!” Yao Manning said proudly.

Mona's hands trembled with excitement. The Qingshan Entertainment Gala was being held for the first time, but a lot of promotion had been done beforehand to make it the premier event in the entertainment industry.

Whoever can ride this wave will have a bright future.

"Manning, you're amazing! How did you get that?" Mona hugged her. "Are you really going to give me this ticket?"

"I'm not in the entertainment industry, what use would I have for it?" Yao Manning smiled. "The right thing should be given to the right person!"

"It's said that Lu Lishan will also be making an appearance..." Yao Manning looked at her meaningfully, "You know what to do then, right?"

The thought of Lin Yuqing's big belly made her feel uncomfortable all over.

A pregnant woman's bad mood can also affect the fetus... If Lin Yuqing loses control, Jiang Can will also be upset.

Yao Manning's lips curled into a sinister smile.

She would stop at nothing to make Jiang Can sad!

...

Two days later, the scandal between Mona and Lu Lishan became the talk of the town.

The first thing to surface was a video. In the video, Mona is seen helping a drunk man stagger into a hotel, where they don't emerge until dawn.

The paparazzi photos clearly show that the man is Lu Lishan.

The media swarmed in, and Mona's ambiguous and vague statements fueled the controversy, keeping the matter trending on social media.

Despite being heavily criticized, Mona's exposure rate is even higher than that of many A-list celebrities, making her a top influencer.

Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing went to the hospital and met Lu Lishan, who looked dejected, outside the emergency room.

Jiang Can took a deep breath, desperately suppressing the urge to slap him, walked up to him, and tried her best to ask calmly, "What exactly happened?"

Her voice trembled, and her hands and feet were ice-cold. If Huo Zhixing hadn't been supporting her, she probably wouldn't have been able to stand up.

Lu Lishan lowered his head, his eyes were red, and his fists were clenched.

Huo Zhixing growled, "Speak!"

Lu Lishan glanced at him, and after a long while, slowly squeezed out a few words, "I don't know."

“You…” Jiang Can never expected to receive such an answer.

The moment she raised her hand, Huo Zhixing grasped her wrist, his gaze complex, and gently shook his head at her.

Then he led Lu Lishan to a secluded corner.

"Now tell me everything that happened that day, in detail!" His expression was cold and stern. "If you tell the truth, I might be able to help you, but if you dare to lie even a single word, I'll teach you a lesson before Can Can even lift a finger!"

"Don't you believe me?" Lu Lishan glared at him with bloodshot eyes. "I barely know that woman. How could I possibly go to a hotel with her?"

"But the person in the video is definitely you!"

"I was drunk that day!" Lu Lishan roared. "At the company's grand party, someone got me drunk, and then I just don't know what happened..."

"But I swear to you, absolutely nothing happened between me and that woman!"

Huo Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly, "Why are you so sure?"
