Mu Zijin was under someone else's roof and had no choice but to bow his head; now he was trying every possible way to save his life.
"Fu Xihan has treated you well, investing so many resources in you. Besides, he was also a victim that night, so you can't blame it all on him, can you?"
In order to buy time, Mu Zijin had to change the subject.
"Ha, he's the victim?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Ruoyun couldn't suppress her mocking smile.
She glanced at Mu Zijin. "Don't mention that night to me. If it weren't for Sister Xin and Actor Lu's help, do you think I would have been able to leave there unscathed?"
Her gaze was fierce, and she continued resentfully:
"You rich people think you're superior, looking down on others with an air of superiority."
You look down on my job, you look down on my background, but deep down you are rotten and reek of stench, disgusting to behold, and you don't even realize it.
Mu Zijin hadn't expected this to trigger her anger, and he quickly tried to salvage the situation.
"No, no, you're only talking about a portion of people; you can't generalize."
Qiao Ruoyun's eyes, reddened with anger, slanted slightly upwards.
"No, I hate everyone in your circle equally."
The vines wrapped around Mu Zijin's body again, starting from his waist and back, like a serpent climbing a rock, and coiled all the way to Mu Zijin's neck.
Mu Zijin felt goosebumps all over his body, his hair stood on end, and he was terrified. He stiffened his neck and dared not make any more movements.
"Let's talk this out, please...please don't do this...killing me won't do you any good..."
Do you have a grudge against Fu Xihan? He's dead now, the Fu family is finished, shouldn't you let it go?
He spoke in a weak tone, pausing slightly after each sentence as he observed Qiao Ruoyun's subtle expressions. Every word he uttered was a test of Qiao Ruoyun's bottom line.
With Fu Xihan, that shining star, around, he seemed quite ordinary. Coupled with his playboy reputation, it was easy for people to overlook his abilities.
In fact, as the sole heir of the Mu family, he is no useless piece of trash.
Qiao Ruoyun was slightly agitated. "He deserved to die, and the Fu family deserved to die too! It's good that he died. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Are you misunderstanding something? Actually..."
Mu Zijin wanted to say that although Fu Xihan was not a very good person and was ruthless in business, he was not an irredeemable and deserving villain.
Qiao Ruoyun, however, didn't want to hear him say anything good about Fu Xihan, nor did she want to hear his explanations, so she immediately interrupted him.
"What do you know? You know nothing!"
Mu Zijin spoke in a very gentle tone, slowly guiding the conversation:
"Don't worry, if you don't tell me why, of course I won't know. You can tell me. Did the Fu family cause you trouble after that?"
He could roughly guess that Fu Xihan's mother, Gao Wenjing, was once a powerful woman who single-handedly controlled the entire Fu family, and her methods were extraordinary.
"Fu Xihan used the guise of compensation to invest in me, deliberately creating ambiguous topics about us. It was clearly him who caused me trouble, and he could have explained it all away with just one sentence, but he didn't! He just used me as a shield, as a scapegoat!"
"I did get a lot of resources in the industry because of his support, but he forced them on me. I didn't need them at all!"
"In the end, it was the Fu family who suppressed me. How ridiculous! His mother even sent someone to warn me not to have any illusions. I have illusions! I wish the Fu family would die and be reincarnated as soon as possible!"
She inexplicably received resources imposed on her by Fu Xihan, and everyone in the industry assumed that she had some kind of ambiguous relationship with Fu Xihan, so everyone was eager to curry favor with her.
That's how the entertainment industry is; some people rise, and some people fall. Even though she has been very low-key, she has still made quite a few enemies because of it.
The Fu family's intervention later caused her to fall from heaven to hell!
Those people quickly changed their tune, and all the resources that originally belonged to her were torn away. Not only that, they also suppressed her without any mercy.
She was forced to bear the title of Fu Xihan's kept mistress, and was wantonly insulted; her dignity, her body...
She felt as if she had fallen into a deep swamp; the more she struggled, the deeper she sank, enveloped in foul-smelling mud that threatened to suffocate her at any moment.
She considered asking for help; she wanted to seek Fu Xihan's assistance, even if it was just to step forward and offer an explanation. However, she didn't even get to see him.
He went three times, but was ruthlessly turned away from the Fu family company, not even being allowed to enter.
On the day the apocalypse came, she was on the set of a small online drama. That night was more terrifying to her than the apocalypse itself.
After she regained consciousness, she discovered that she had awakened superpowers. Without hesitation, she killed everyone in that room, including the so-called investors.
She hated them! She hated these people who thought they were superior and could manipulate others at will!
Qiao Ruoyun went from being excited at the beginning to sitting calmly in the chair and calmly recounting her story, as if she were telling someone else's story.
Her eyes were expressionless, as if she had become numb.
After hearing what had happened to her, Mu Zijin's throat tightened, and his voice became somewhat hoarse.
"I'm sorry, although I know you don't want to hear it, I think there are some things I still need to tell you."
He never expected that what Fu Xihan thought would kill two birds with one stone would bring this woman so much disaster.
“Fu Xihan probably doesn’t know what the Fu family did to you. During that time, he was indeed busy with other things and had no time to take care of the situation at home.”
That period coincided with the spread of doomsday rumors, and Fu Xihan was busy consolidating the Fu family's resources, stockpiling supplies, and keeping an eye on Li Xin'er.
“He gave you the resources, and he did have other intentions. He wanted to make Luo Luo mistakenly believe that you two were together and give up on him, but he didn’t expect it would hurt you. He actually wanted to use those resources to make up for the mistake that night.”
Who would have thought that Madam Fu would get involved, and then those people...
It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.
Mu Zijin looked up at Qiao Ruoyun, his tone much more sincere this time, his eyes filled with reluctance and pity.
“Fu Xihan and the Fu family have already paid the price. Your current behavior will only bring you more unhappiness. It’s the end of the world, so just live your life properly.”
Qiao Ruoyun bent one leg and stepped onto the stool, the arm holding the rattan whip swaying back and forth on her knee, giving off a roguish and carefree vibe.
She withdrew the rattan whip that was wrapped around Mu Zijin's neck, and raised her hand to lash out again.
"Stop giving me that pitying look and get this straight: you are now my prisoner!"
The whip struck Mu Zijin squarely on the neck, instantly leaving a bright red welt on his long neck.
Mu Zijin turned his head to the side, his messy hair covering half of his handsome face. This time, he did not utter a curse, but silently endured the lash.
In reality, I was using very vulgar language...
However, this time it was directed at Fu Xihan.
