I have plenty of free time. If you have anything bothering you, feel free to tell me. I won't tell anyone.

Hey, are you asleep?

【Good evening. 】

Just as she was about to reply, a shadow fell in front of her, and she subconsciously turned the screen to face her.

He Mingxiao sat down next to her and turned his head to look at her.

"You don't seem to be in a good mood today. Is something on your mind?"

Nan Xian noticed that the staff were all glancing in their direction. She frowned slightly and said coldly, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

After saying that, she lowered her head and continued looking at her phone, clearly indicating that she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

He Mingxiao gazed at her silently for a moment, then stood up and softly uttered a sentence:

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any injustice."

"Huh?" Nan Xian looked up in surprise, watching his retreating figure, her face full of confusion. "What the hell... This is so strange."

However, Nanxian soon understood what he meant.

At lunchtime, Ding He bounced in with a beaming smile, excitedly whispering in her ear:

"Sister, a company invested in by Wei Zeling has been exposed for having products with excessive levels of toxic substances. Several indicators do not meet national standards, and there are also tax issues. It's now in the top three trending topics and netizens are calling it a heartless business!"

Nan Xian paused.

In her previous life, Wei Zeling gained fame in China through "Unveiling Ghost Stories" and played some roles, but her acting skills were really mediocre. Instead of gaining fans, she left behind a few embarrassing moments, so she has been relying on variety shows to solidify her fanbase ever since.

Nan Xian guessed that she would follow the same pattern as in her previous life, so she planned to retaliate after she officially entered the Chinese entertainment industry. However, she did not expect He Mingxiao to act so quickly and without any mercy, directly putting her in the eye of the storm.

Having been labeled "heartless," Wei Zeling's chances of re-entering the Chinese entertainment industry are slim.

Ding He danced with glee, "That's wonderful! The wicked get their just desserts! She used to be so arrogant in front of you, but now everyone's kicking her out. She probably won't even dare to go out! I wonder which big shot dealt with her. It's so satisfying!"

Nan Xian looked at her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, recalling He Mingxiao's words in her mind, and her smile faded.

She was happy to see Wei Zeling get punished, but if it was He Mingxiao who did it... she was filled with mixed emotions.

Meanwhile, in He Mingxiao's room.

A frantic female voice came from the phone: "Brother Mingxiao, how could you do this to me? What did I do wrong?!"

Assistant Jiang glanced at He Mingxiao, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, and forced himself to speak: "Ahem, Miss Wei, Mr. He is busy right now. If you have anything to say, please tell me and I will pass it on to him."

After a few seconds of silence on the other end, Wei Zeling's voice turned cold.

"Ha, he went to see that vixen Nan Xian, didn't he? That flirtatious vixen, she went to seduce young gigolos after the divorce, and she's still clinging to Ming Xiao—"

He Mingxiao suddenly opened his eyes and snatched the phone away.

“Wei Zeling, if I hear another bad word about Nan Xian from your mouth, I won’t hesitate to leave you abroad forever.”

"Mingxiao-ge!" Wei Zeling was caught off guard and panicked. "I didn't mean to, but Nan Xian is indeed having an ambiguous relationship with a male celebrity. I just... I was afraid you'd be kept in the dark. I was doing this for your own good..."

"Enough!" He Mingxiao's voice was as cold as if it contained ice shards, and he impatiently interrupted her.

“I won’t pursue what you did in the past. From now on, if you ever have even the slightest ulterior motive towards Nan Xian, I will make you pay tenfold. Also, don’t bring up the relationship between your father and my father anymore. I’m in charge of the He family now, and I don’t care if I ruin your business—understand?”

Wei Zeling stared blankly, mouth agape, as she listened to the phone being hung up. Her face flushed red, and she abruptly threw the phone against the wall.

"You wretch! You ungrateful bastard! If I'm not having a good time, neither are you!"
