The appearance of this video directly changed the direction of public opinion.

Online entries about Si Jinyan also disappeared completely within half an hour, being deleted without a trace.

Si Jiangyu held his phone, his thin lips pressed tightly together. Even a fool could tell that Xiao Luoan was the one who did this.

Besides him, who else in the capital city has such power to find the victims so quickly and remove all the negative trending topics at the same time?

After careful consideration, Si Jiangyu decided to keep the matter to himself.

He and Si Zhuoxi were discussing the termination compensation in the study. Si Zhuoxi estimated it would be 30 million, as he had donated most of his previous earnings.

The two of them tallied up their money and found they were still short by more than ten million.

"Let's ask the third and fourth brothers to chip in. Your indenture is too expensive." Si Jiangyu took out a cigarette from the drawer and lit it for himself.

He rarely smokes, but today's events have left him quite troubled.

Xiao Luoan's appearance put a lot of pressure on him, even though he had initially wanted to rely on the Xiao family for support.

Si Jiangyu held a cigarette in one hand and rubbed his temples with the other.

"The smell of smoke is too strong, I'm going out first," Si Zhuoxi said, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as she disliked the smell of smoke.

He has never smoked or drunk alcohol.

"Excuse me." Si Jiangyu exhaled a puff of smoke and stubbed it out in the ashtray next to him.

Si Jinyan was eating meat when his phone lit up.

A text message dazzled her: “Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands…” She counted the zeros at the end.

"Two hundred million!" Si Jinyan, with a pig's trotter in his mouth, forgot to think for a moment. A huge sum of money?

Didn't she say she only wanted 200,000?

Just as I was about to send a message to Xiao Luoan, I saw a message from him pop up on WeChat.

Sorry, the transfer is a bit slow because the amount is large.

Si Jinyan wasn't concerned about that. She took out a wet wipe, wiped her hands, and immediately sent a message back.

Mr. Xiao, I only need 200,000.

[Also, I've already donated 200 million in your name; consider this advance payment for any future favors you may ask.]

Si Jinyan looked at the message sent by Xiao Luoan and fell into deep thought.

Is this the power of the most prestigious family in the capital?

She was too poor to even imagine what the world of the rich was like.

"Mr. Xiao, please feel free to ask for anything in the future. Two hundred million can accomplish a lot."

"He who eats another's food is bound to be obligated to him; he who takes another's gifts is bound to be obligated to him." Si Jinyan only now understands the meaning of this saying.

"Then I'll be troubling you a lot from now on, Miss Si."

Si Jinyan and Xiao Luoan chatted briefly for a few minutes and then stopped talking. He was in such a good mood that he didn't even eat any meat.

She's happily snuggled on the sofa with her little fairy in her arms, watching TV. She's a rich woman now, she should enjoy life to the fullest.

Seeing his second senior brother come out of the study, he asked, "Second senior brother, are you really going to terminate your contract with Jialan?"

Si Zhuoxi walked straight to the sofa and sat down. She didn't look well, but she still managed to force a gentle smile.

"Yes, I should take some time to calm down and improve my acting skills. I plan to study some more after filming this movie," Si Zhuoxi said.

Si Jinyan sat down next to him with the little fairy in his arms, his watery eyes staring straight at Si Zhuoxi.

"My second senior brother is clearly feeling down, but he still has to force a smile. I'm not a child anymore, and I can bear your unhappiness and setbacks."

Si Zhuoxi was touched by her words, reached out and patted her head, and said with a smile, "It's okay, my senior brothers and I will handle it."

"Okay then." Si Jinyan said this, but he didn't really intend to ignore it.

The penalty for breach of contract should be quite high; she could use that money to "redeem" her second senior brother from his servitude.

The most luxurious private villa in the capital.

As soon as Xiao Tingyun stepped through the door, he saw Xiao Luoan sitting upright in a chair, a faint smile on her lips, and a mobile phone in her hand.

When Xiao Luoan saw him come in, he stood up, but because his leg was not fully healed, he quickly sat down.

"Son, is your leg really healed?" Xiao Tingyun quickly stepped forward, took his son's hand, and looked him over from left to right.

The more I look at him, the more satisfied I become. My son has inherited my good looks; he is truly a handsome and outstanding person.

"My handsome son is back." Xiao Tingyun's smile never stopped the moment he saw his son.

"Okay, Dad, my leg isn't fully healed yet, I still need to sit for a while, so don't tell anyone yet," Xiao Luoan said gently.

"I know, I know, Shen Zhi told me, but we can't make him slip up yet." Xiao Tingyun sat on the sofa next to him, his expression suddenly becoming serious.

Xiao Luoan nodded; it was indeed a very troublesome situation.

“He’s not in a hurry to deal with it, but he should resolve the marriage with the Jiang family as soon as possible,” Xiao Luoan said, changing the subject.

"Hey, isn't that Jiang family daughter supposed to be your benefactor? And I heard she's a lucky star sent from heaven, marrying her wouldn't be a bad deal." Xiao Tingyun said hesitantly, thinking of the fortune teller his sister had consulted.

Xiao Luo'an's expression darkened slightly. Even though her father was sitting opposite her, it didn't matter. "When did my Xiao family ever need to rely on these rumors to solidify our position?"

Xiao Tingyun was speechless for a moment after being choked by his son's words, realizing that his son was right.

If the Xiao family were to rely on Jiang Caiyun alone to maintain its status as the most prestigious family, it would be a complete loss of face and dignity.

"Okay, but what about the amusement park ride?" Xiao Tingyun thought it best to refuse the marriage proposal.

"The engagement is already called off, are you expecting to give him free projects?" Xiao Luoan glanced at her father. Why would she rush to give money to someone she has no relation to?

"What do you mean by annulmenting the engagement?" Xiao Luoan's mother, Luo Hua, asked, standing at the door.

Could it be that my son still doesn't want to get engaged to Jiang Caiyun?

However, she was clearly not happy at the moment. She walked in with a sullen face, and Xiao Tingyun didn't dare to breathe loudly.

He quickly gave his son a look, signaling him to speak.

Xiao Luoan glanced at Luo Hua and said calmly, "Who told you about the marriage proposal to bring good luck?"

Luo Hua's thoughts were immediately drawn away. She sat on the sofa and thought for a moment before saying, "I heard them tell me about it when I went back to the old house once."

"Who are they?" Xiao Tingyun then asked.

He hadn't thought much of it before, but after learning that his son's leg was surgically altered, he felt that the matter must be closely related to that mother and son.

Luo Hua glared at him. "Are you interrogating a prisoner?"

Xiao Tingyun gave an awkward laugh, "No, no, this is about my son's leg."

"Hmm?" Luo Hua raised an eyebrow and drew out the last syllable, the meaning of which was quite clear.

Xiao Luoan had no choice but to stand up again. "My leg is healed."

Luo Hua was shocked to see his son suddenly stand up.

"Ah, son!" Shocked, she immediately stood up, excitedly supporting Xiao Luoan, her eyes brimming with tears.

Xiao Luoan said, "Alright, Mom, don't tell anyone about this."

As he spoke, he sat down and began to talk about treating his leg. After listening, Luo Hua immediately agreed to annul the engagement!

Now that I think about it carefully, it must have been that woman who deliberately said the thing about a marriage to bring good luck to her.
