Chapter 1: Call the Police or Settle Privately?
Yan Sui opened her eyes groggily, enveloped in the cold smell of disinfectant.
I could faintly hear conversations nearby.
"Brother Qingci, will she be alright? I'm so scared."
"Don't be afraid, Yan Sui brought this on herself. Once she wakes up, I'll make her apologize to you."
Yan Sui frowned as she listened, the images flooding her mind making her feel a sense of reality.
She's back.
It wasn't the end of the world, there were no zombies, and she went home.
Yan Sui sat up abruptly from the bed, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
The pattering raindrops pattered on the green lawn, and a gentle breeze carrying the scent of earth and grass lifted the curtains.
Her lifeless posture startled the couple next to her.
"Brother Qingci, Yan Sui is awake."
Fu Qingci hummed in agreement and patted the back of her hand to comfort her.
His expression was cold. "Now that you're awake, hurry up and pack your things to get discharged. Don't delay everyone's progress."
Yan Mo bit her lip and gently placed her hand on Fu Qingci's arm.
"Brother Qingci, Yan Sui just woke up, let her rest for a while."
Yan Sui opened her eyes when she heard the sound. Her bright eyes seemed a little confused as she looked at the two of them.
From the moment she was thrown into the apocalypse and struggled to survive, her body lost its independent consciousness and was entirely controlled by the system.
Her brows furrowed.
I worked so hard to help you with your tasks, and you expect me to be your lapdog?
They were flattering Fu Qingci, a rising star in the entertainment industry who is both talented and good-looking.
A cold, mechanical voice echoed in my mind.
[Rong008 corrects you: You're not helping us with the mission; you're doing it to prolong your life.]
Yan Sui's brows relaxed. Yes, she had no other choice back then.
Refusing means death.
[Mission complete, reward has been issued. Thank you for your contribution.]
We shared a past, now we go our separate ways. Take care.
Yan Sui slightly opened her mouth, sensing the changes within her body.
It's gone.
Seeing that she remained silent, Fu Qingci's brows furrowed with impatience.
"Yan Sui, what are you up to now! If you hadn't said those nonsensical things in front of Yan Mo, I wouldn't have accidentally pushed you. Don't push your luck! Besides, you're fine now, so what are you pretending for?"
Yan Sui rubbed her temples, listening to his distorted and contradictory words.
Luckily, she's very good at keeping her temper in check; otherwise, it would be hard not to get angry when faced with such an idiot.
She lifted her eyelids and glanced at Fu Qingci.
"Keep your voice down, I'm afraid of dogs."
Fu Qingci was stunned by her gaze, and upon hearing her words, she stared in disbelief.
"What did you say? How dare you—"
Yan Sui clicked her tongue. "Fine, go ahead and call it. I've had a rabies vaccine."
Yan Mo bit her lip and scolded, "Yan Sui, how could you talk to Brother Qingci like that? It's awful!"
Fu Qingci grasped her hand, his eyes cold and indifferent.
"Momo, ignore this lunatic! If she doesn't apologize to you, I'll talk to the director myself. There's no need to keep her in the way of the production team anymore."
Yan Mo's eyes flickered, and she gently bit her lip, feigning hesitation as she asked, "Brother Qingci, wouldn't this be inappropriate?"
Fu Qingci slightly raised his chin, his expression arrogant.
"She brought it on herself."
Yan Sui suddenly realized that she was still recording a variety show.
This program was originally created to promote the new drama starring Fu Qingci and Yan Mo, and both parties and the production team wanted to take the opportunity to generate buzz.
The reason she was hospitalized was because Yan Mo made some specious statements that misled public opinion.
The entire internet is now condemning her as the homewrecker who broke up Fu Qingci and Yan Mo's relationship.
Fans from both sides started digging into her past, scrutinizing details in photos that were almost worn out, and calling her a sasaeng fan of Fu Qingci and a simp.
She's a nobody, but she's been trending on social media for a whole day and night because of all sorts of scandals.
They spread rumors that she had an improper relationship with a certain director and that she led the bullying of classmates during her school days.
They photoshopped her into a funeral portrait; they were practically digging up her ancestral grave and cursing her.
Yan Sui, furious, questioned Yan Mo, and Fu Qingci, in an attempt to protect Yan Mo, accidentally pushed her down the stairs.
The person who started this was standing in front of her hospital bed, spouting nonsense: "She brought it on herself."
Yan Sui looked at him coldly, "If you're so good at shifting blame, why did you go into the entertainment industry? You should be a chef at New Oriental! If Pinduoduo were to cut off your underdeveloped head, would it be the last thing you get cut off?"
She pointed to the gauze on her forehead and said, "Call the police or settle this privately. You choose one."
Speaking of Fu Qingci, Yan Sui didn't have much contact with him before she turned eighteen.
Later, the system took control of her consciousness, and she became Fu Qingci's devoted follower.
In addition to sponsoring his schooling, they also covered all his food, clothing, and accommodation needs.
In college, everyone thought Fu Qingci was a rich kid.
Because he drives luxury cars, lives in mansions, and squanders money recklessly.
Yan Sui felt like she was having a heart attack just thinking about it; it was all her money that was being spent!
Bagen's system is inhumane!
Yan Sui, who had been a devoted admirer for so long, suddenly changed her expression, and Fu Qingci's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He was seething with anger, his face turning ashen.
Do you even know what you're saying?
He simply couldn't reconcile the Yan Sui before him with the girl who had been so obedient to him before.
Yan Sui raised her eyebrows. "If I really don't understand, I'll have it engraved on your tombstone! I'm asking you, are you going to call the police or settle this privately? You don't think that just because you hit me and caused me to get injured and hospitalized, you can just let this go like this, do you?"
Yan Mo was shocked. Wasn't Yan Sui fawning over Fu Qingci before?
We can't call the police. If we do, things will escalate, and she'll get dragged into it too.
"Yan Sui, Brother Qingci didn't mean it..."
Yan Sui scoffed, "Whether it was intentional or not, go tell the police. In this vast sea of people, to have met two scumbags like you is my retribution. Go in and reform yourself properly, and don't tell anyone you know me."
After saying that, she reached for her phone.
Once the lock is successfully unlocked, the alarm should be sounded.
Yan Mo hurriedly said, "Let's settle this privately! Let's settle this privately! You name your conditions, as long as they're not excessive, we can agree to them."
Fu Qingci gave a cold laugh, speaking with a confident and fearless tone:
"Settle it privately my ass! Go ahead and call the police if you dare, I'd like to see that!"
"Hello? I need to call the police. A man pushed me down the stairs, and I suspect he tried to murder me. I'm at the People's Hospital. Please send officers quickly. He's even threatening me now. Oh, my herniated disc, my elbow, my elbow!"
Yan Sui hung up the phone and saw that Fu Qingci and Yan Mo both looked pale and sickly, so she smiled slightly.
"As you wish."
Fu Qingci's gaze turned fierce as she gritted her teeth and threatened her, "I think you don't want to record this show!"
Yan Mo bit her lip. It seemed that she couldn't take the opportunity to kick Yan Sui out of the show.
"Yes, Yan Sui, making a big fuss won't do you any good. You just don't want to leave, right? Let Qingci talk to the director, and he'll let you continue recording the show. Is that okay with you?"
Yan Sui glanced at her, "Who said I was going to continue recording the show?"
Although the Yan family is not a top-tier wealthy family, they are still considered prominent in Beijing's social circles.
She must be crazy to give up a perfectly good life and go out into the entertainment industry.
Her contract had just expired and wasn't renewed, so she made a decision.
I'm done!
Yan Mo asked, puzzled, "Then what do you want?"
Yan Sui: "Apologize! Pay compensation! Medical expenses, food expenses, nursing expenses, nutrition expenses, lost wages, transportation expenses, 100,000!"
Yan Mo's expression was indescribable. "Do you really need this little bit of money?"
Yan Sui rolled her eyes at her. "Did your brain evolve randomly? So you didn't hear the word 'apology' at all?"
Yan Mo's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Fu Qingci with a wronged expression.
Fu Qingci immediately put his arm around her shoulder with heartache, "Momo, don't pay attention to her."
He turned around and looked at Yan Sui coldly.
"You're actually this kind of person? I misjudged you!"
