Not far away, Li Yuan, dressed as a waiter, was handing over drinks to his colleagues.

Today is Li Yuan's third day working here. It's a newly opened bar with a high salary and benefits. She was introduced to the job by a senior she knew, but Li Yuan is still not satisfied.

The bar salary was a drop in the bucket for him; it wasn't even enough to pay off half of the gambling debts he owed.

Last night he lost several hundred thousand at an underground casino, and he has to pay it back within a week, or they will take one of his arms.

Feeling restless, Li Yuan found a moment to sneak into the bathroom to smoke.

He needs to find a way to make money as soon as possible.

Li Yuan scrolled through his phone contacts, his gaze finally settling on the name Yan Miao, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

He despised the power of the Yan family, and even more so the foolish Yan Miao.

If it weren't for the money, he would never have chosen such an idiot as his girlfriend, especially since she was the daughter of the enemy who killed his father.

Li Yuan set his sights on Yan Miao three months ago. This woman was simple-minded and naive, making her the easiest to hook.

When he investigated further and discovered that Yan Miao was actually a child of the Yan family, Li Yuan's desire for revenge reached its peak at that moment.

Since the Yan family killed his father, he would show that despicable man in the Yan family how his daughter had fallen into depravity.

The only way to get revenge on the Yan family is to destroy Yan Miao.

Li Yuan made a thorough plan for this, and even specifically learned about all of Yan Miao's interests and hobbies. As he wished, Yan Miao successfully took the bait.

He got a lot of money from Yan Miao. Haha, this woman thinks she's some kind of savior who saved him, indulging in self-pity all day long. Little does she know that with Li Yuan, she's just an ATM.

Li Yuan's next plan is to force Yan Miao into a fait accompli, get her pregnant, and then she will be bound to his side.

The smoke rose slowly, enveloping Li Yuan's face, making his features indistinct and appearing both real and unreal.

Li Yuan's eyes were like those of a venomous snake crawling in the shadows. He stared at his phone screen and sent another WeChat message to Yan Miao.

—A ding-dong sound.

Yan Miao's phone rang.

She put down the dice, looked down and swiped the screen, her expression changing.

Song Qingyou noticed her change and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Miao looked a little nervous: "Li Yuan's father is being chased by loan sharks again. Li Yuan said he has to deal with it, and that there are more than a dozen of them. What should we do, Qingyou? Will something happen to him?"

She hurriedly sent a message to Li Ruan to ask how much the other party wanted, and if necessary, she would pay some in advance and Li Ruan would pay her back later.

Song Qingyou and Jiang Xun exchanged a glance but neither of them stopped them.

Li Yuan quickly replied to the message, saying that she didn't need to pay, but also that she might die this time and asked Yan Miao to take good care of herself.

Yan Miao was extremely anxious when she heard the voice message, and hurriedly stood up to leave.

Song Qingyou said calmly, "Sit down."

Yan Miao paused, her heart pounding with anxiety, fearing something might happen to Li Yuan, but she remained rooted to the spot, refusing to move.

She turned to Song Qingyou and said, "What's wrong, Qingyou? Saving lives is the priority. I'll go find Li Yuan first. If all else fails, I'll pay back all the money his father owes. I'm not short of money anyway. Lives are at stake, Qingyou!"

Song Qingyou lifted her eyelids slightly, "Yan Miao, is your brain filled with mush?"

Yan Miao was stunned. In her memory, Song Qingyou had never spoken harshly to her before. She panicked immediately and obediently sat back down: "Qingyou, I know you don't like Li Yuan, but..."

Jiang Xun couldn't listen anymore and said coldly, "He's lying to you."

Yan Miao was stunned: "What?"

Jiang Xun said, "His father died a long time ago. It was Li Yuan who was in debt for gambling. He doesn't like you at all. He's only with you for your money."

Jiang Xun always speaks directly, and Song Qingyou tried to stop him but couldn't.

He looked at Yan Miao with concern: "Miao Miao..."

Yan Miao's expression faltered for a moment, and it took her a long time to open her mouth: "Qingyou, is what she said true?"

Although Song Qingyou was reluctant, she still nodded: "Miaomiao, I had someone investigate Li Yuan. Everything he told you was a lie, even his status as a senior was fake. He's not worth your affection..."

Yan Miao found it hard to accept this fact, but she sadly realized that she completely believed Song Qingyou. She might not have believed these words if others had said them, but they were said by Song Qingyou.

Her sister Qingyou wouldn't lie to her.

Yan Miao's eyes welled up with tears, and she forced back her sobs. "I...I'll call him and ask him why he lied to me."

Jiang Xun rubbed his temples, unsure whether to call Yan Miao naive or simply stupid.

Song Qingyou said, "Come with me."

Yan Miao didn't refuse, letting Song Qingyou lead her forward by the hand, like a puppet on a string.

A fierce battle is currently taking place in the toilet.

Li Yuan had just finished smoking and was about to wash his hands before leaving when a group of people suddenly rushed in, locked the bathroom door from the inside, and pinned him to the sink.

The leader held a knife to his neck, and Li Yuan's handsome face was distorted with fear.

"Guys, let's talk this out. What are you doing?"

The man, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, didn't waste any words and kicked Li Yuan. Li Yuan lay on the ground, his stomach cramping and convulsing.

The man walked up to him, squatted down, grabbed Li Yuan's hair and pulled it back: "When are you planning to pay back the money you owe?"

Li Yuan thought they were chasing him for gambling debts. He didn't expect them to come all the way here. He suppressed the nausea churning in his stomach and begged for mercy, "Isn't there still a few days left? Don't worry, I'll have the money soon. I'll pay you back as soon as I get the money! Can you let me go today?"

The man chuckled and pulled hard, causing Li Ruan to scream in pain.

The man said, "What the hell money do you have? You're out gambling even though you have no money. I think you deserve a beating. Tell me, do you want my arm or my leg back?"

Li Yuan trembled uncontrollably, begging for mercy repeatedly, no longer caring about saving face: "I was wrong, big brother, I was wrong, please believe me, I really will have the money soon. Do you know the Yan family? The eldest daughter of the Yan family, Yan Miao, is my girlfriend. She has money, she will pay it back for me!"

"Stop fucking bragging! Someone like you, how dare you get involved with the eldest daughter of the Yan family? What are you anyway?!"

"It's true, I just beckoned her over, she's head over there. She's head over heels in love with me, you guys believe me, or I'll call her right now to prove it!"

The man raised an eyebrow, revealing a sinister smile: "Why should I believe you?"

Li Yuan panicked. As the knife drew ever closer, cold sweat poured down his back. He cried out urgently, "I'll give her to you!"

"What?" The man narrowed his eyes.

Li Ruan said urgently, "I'll send her to your bed. The eldest daughter of the Yan family must have a great time. I'll bring her to you, will you let me go?"

The man frowned; he never imagined that Li Yuan could be such a scumbag.

Separated by a door, Yan Miao's face turned pale instantly, and she froze outside the door.
