Yan Qiao's attitude was very firm; she was determined to kick these people out today.

Chu Xiting couldn't help but protest his innocence: "We even helped chop firewood yesterday."

An attempt to awaken Yan Qiao's conscience.

Yan Qiao gave a cold laugh. It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because now that he had said that, she was about to unleash her ultimate move.

"Do all rich young men like to play love games? Sister Lu Qi, you'd better keep your eyes open, these four are all in cahoots."

Especially since Ruan Cha also liked Xiao Yunqi, the thought of it made her furious.

Lu Qi dared not say no at all and nodded repeatedly.

"I see."

Chu Xiting looked up at the sky, thinking that even Dou E was not as wronged as they were.

He hadn't even managed to coax her back yet, and Yan Qiao was already ruining everything.

Shen Wu wanted to say something, but Pei Jingzhan kicked him out.

Lu Qi wisely walked away, giving them some space to be alone.

Pei Jingzhan sighed softly, "I know I was wrong, but you can't sentence someone to death every time you make a mistake, can you?"

Are they not even giving us a chance to make amends?

Yan Qiao scoffed coldly, "I'm very angry right now, and I just want to sentence you to death."

"What happens after you calm down?"

He stared at her expectantly, and Yan Qiao could clearly see his sense of grievance.

How dare he complain?

Ha, what a scumbag!

"With me like this, it will take me at least ten or eight years to get over this. Just you wait."

Anyway, in eight or ten years, she will still be under thirty.

Pei Jingzhan: "..."

"Qiaoqiao, I'm sorry for hurting you. If you want me to leave, then I will leave. Leaving is to give you and me space to calm down, it doesn't mean I'm giving up on you. If you don't forgive me, do you think I'll accept it? I'll just wait."

Yan Qiao snorted, "Don't wait anymore. My first condition for finding a partner in the future is that my family goes bankrupt."

Pei Jingzhan was speechless; this was quite a challenge.

"If you don't go bankrupt, you can squander all the money, okay?"

Yan Qiao curled her lips and stared at him coldly.

"There's absolutely no credibility to what you're saying! You eat my food, spend my money, and I even bought you such an expensive watch! You're not only a scumbag, you're a real tightwad!"

Pei Jingzhan: "..."

He knew that one should never make mistakes in life.

This is how karma came to pass.

Pei Jingzhan smiled wryly and coaxed in a low voice, "I'm a scumbag, and a miser, whatever you say is right, just don't kick me out, okay?"

Lu Qi had only taken a few steps closer when she heard these words, and she almost collapsed from her knees.

This Master Pei is quite different from the legends.

They've lowered themselves so much, they're practically begging you.

Just as Lu Qi was thinking this, she heard Pei Jingzhan say, "Please, be so kind as to say this."

Lu Qi: "..."

That coaxing, whispered manner is irresistible; no one could resist it.

Yan Qiao just gave a cold laugh and said, "Either you move out and we talk after I calm down, or I move out and we break off all ties."

Lu Qi sighed, "It still has to be Yan Qiao."

Yan Qiao's words, far from hurting Pei Jingzhan, actually made him feel relieved.

At least she was angry, but she never thought of severing ties with him.

There is still room for redemption.

"Okay, I'll be going now?"

Yan Qiao turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

Pei Jingzhan went back to his room and grabbed some luggage, leaving most of his belongings behind.

Then, they took their things and left.

She walked out almost every step of the way, turning back every few steps. Yan Qiao couldn't help but steal a few glances at her, but every time she turned back, she would revert to her cold demeanor.

Lu Qi sighed inwardly; it was like playing house.

"If you really can't bear to part with them, you don't have to actually drive them away."

Yan Qiao snorted, "That won't do."

He made a mistake and must be punished; how can he be easily forgiven?

Pei Jingzhan walked out, but Chen Wu and the others were still there.

He reached out from the car and waved, "Third brother, over here!"

Pei Jingzhan immediately noticed their amused expressions and tossed his luggage up.

"Aren't you going to get lost?"

Chen Wu smiled and tapped the phone connected to the car's system to play a song called "Good Days".

They practically wanted to wear their schadenfreude on their faces.

Pei Jingzhan timely poured cold water on him: "On the day of Shen Zhou's wedding, you'd better stay at home and not go anywhere."

Shen Wu's smile faded slightly. "This might be a bit difficult."

Shen Zhou demanded that his elder brother attend the meeting, citing Zhou Yuanxi's divorce from Shen Qunbo as the reason.

If he doesn't go, rumors of discord between the brothers will immediately spread.

Pei Jingzhan knew he understood, so he didn't say anything more, only offering a suggestion: "Think more about Xu Ran."

With Shen Wu in trouble, Shen Zhou has become the person in charge of the company. Will she and her daughter still have a good life?

After Pei Jingzhan and his group left, the courtyard house became empty.

When Chen Ge and the others arrived, they only saw Yan Qiao and Lu Qi.

Yan Qiao was fiddling with... mud in the yard?

Chen Ge asked, "Yan Qiao, where are the guests?"

"They're gone."

Chen Ge: "Gone?"

The show isn't finished filming yet.

He looked around and found that Pei Jingzhan was not there.

Where is your security camera?

Yan Qiao sneered, "Fire him."

Chen Ge was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked.

"What?"

Yan Qiao rolled her eyes at him. "You're fired, understand?"

Chen Ge looked confused, not quite understanding.

Yesterday he was all lovey-dovey saying this is my future boyfriend, and I was fed dog food all day long.

Is it going to be cooked today?

"And what about your boyfriend?"

Yan Qiao gave him a death stare. "I don't have a boyfriend! At most, he's just a dead ex."

In that instant, Chen Ge felt that it was truly terrifying when a woman turned on him.

"They really broke up?"

"uh-huh."

Yan Qiao lowered her head and continued kneading the mud.

Little did she know the huge sensation her few words would cause online.

[Breaking News! Breaking News! Yan Qiao has broken up!]

[Waaaaah, I'm crying so hard! My new ship is ruined!]

My mom asked me why I was crying so hard, and if someone had died. I said yes, my favorite couple died!

#Yan quietly broke up#

This entry quickly rose to the top of the trending list.

Otherwise, why would people say she's a magnet for trending topics?

As someone outside the entertainment industry, she became incredibly famous.

Chen Ge belatedly realized that they were still live-streaming, and quickly asked someone to turn the camera away.

Is this something I can say in front of netizens?

The cameraman smiled wryly, "Director Chen is too late, it's trending on social media."

On the last day of the show, Yan Qiao dropped a bombshell that set off a landmine.

Director Chen: "..."

Being too famous can also be a problem.

Yan Qiao didn't continue the topic, but instead continued kneading the mud.

What are you doing?

Yan Qiao: "Clay sculpture."

Chen Ge suddenly realized that he had never seen it before.

Why make clay sculptures?

Yan Qiao: "In memory of my deceased ex."

Chen Ge was speechless. Being your ex is quite dangerous.

As Yan Qiao worked, she didn't forget to introduce it to everyone: "This is red clay, which is stickier and more malleable. You can't find it around here, so I bought it."

She wouldn't make things difficult for herself by going up mountains and down rivers to dig mud; if she couldn't find it, she would just buy it—it's not like she didn't have the money.

The reason why these soils cannot be found nearby is because they have to undergo special treatment.

By adding cotton and pounding the clay, then sealing it for several years to ferment, the resulting clay can achieve the best results for making clay sculptures.

Yan Qiao grabbed a lump of mud and kneaded it in her hands.

Before long, everyone will be able to see the human form.

Then, using tools, they carefully polished and slowly sculpted the facial features, hair, clothes, and accessories.

Even the wrinkles on the clothes are incredibly lifelike.

Chen Ge was so engrossed in watching that he momentarily forgot his role as a director and simply sat down and watched along.
