Chapter 14 The Chen family extorts money.
Yan Sui slept soundly through the night and woke up early.
It snowed last night, but today is a sunny day.
Looking down from the rooftop, all I could see was a vast expanse of white.
She first performed a set of punches, and with the blessing of spiritual energy, her physical fitness improved significantly.
Only after finishing her workout did she go to look at the strawberries next to her.
Their vitality is astonishing; their tiny petals sway in the wind, as if greeting her.
Yan Sui's spiritual power is the best catalyst for plants.
Moments later, the petals fell, and a small, unripe fruit formed in the center.
Yan Sui cupped her face in her hands, looking at them with satisfaction.
Looks like we'll be eating strawberries soon.
She doesn't plan to go out today; it's too cold outside, so she'd rather stay home and watch some shows.
Although Yan Junming was carefree, he always remembered the things Yan Sui had told him.
I got up early this morning to help Yan Sui dig up cherry tomato seedlings.
"Wow! Sis, these cherry tomatoes are still alive!"
Yan Sui remained calm. If someone died at her hands, they would be laughed at to death.
"Let's move it up to the rooftop. The weather's nice now, so we can soak up some sun."
A moment later, Yan Junming ran out quickly.
"Sis! Sis! This is outrageous!"
Yan Sui clicked her tongue and pushed him away by pressing her hand against his forehead.
"Could you please stop making such a fuss?"
Yan Junming gasped for breath, "Strawberries! The strawberries actually bore fruit!"
Yan Sui calmly replied, "I know."
"When did it bear fruit?" He hadn't even seen the strawberries bloom.
"The result is still not good? Grandpa Xu wanted to eat strawberries, and now he can eat strawberries."
Yan Junming looked dazed, but something didn't seem right.
"Sis, you didn't switch Grandpa Xu's seedlings, did you?"
Yan Sui scoffed, "I wouldn't do that."
"So you used pesticide?"
"I never use pesticides when I grow things."
That's an insult to her.
Yan Sui didn't want to continue arguing with him about this topic, so she asked instead, "Have you finished the test? You're going back to school this afternoon, right?"
Yan Junming slumped his shoulders. "Why bring up something you shouldn't be talking about?"
Yan Sui pinched his ear, "If you don't study hard, what do you want to do in the future? Go home and herd cattle?"
“Herding cattle isn’t bad either, you don’t even have cattle,” he retorted righteously.
Yan Sui choked up, glared at him, and got up to go see her grandmother.
The old lady is in poor health and rarely goes out.
The TV was playing Peking Opera, and she sang along with it, her fingers delicately pointing out the orchid shape, and she actually looked quite convincing.
"Grandma, I've made you some tea. Remember to drink it."
The old lady took it. "Sui Sui, what kind of tea is this? I find it very good, and it helps me sleep better."
"It's just ordinary tea." She just added a little spiritual energy to it.
The old lady didn't suspect anything, thinking it was probably just her imagination.
The old man beside him shook his newspaper and said, "You're only sleeping well because you're happy to see your granddaughter."
"That's right, do you think I'm like you, cold-blooded?" The old lady rolled her eyes at him.
Seeing the old man's angry expression, Yan Sui covered her mouth and chuckled.
He's just old-fashioned and serious, not cold-blooded.
Yan Sui watched the play with the old man inside the house for a while, when she heard a sound coming from outside.
"I'll go out and take a look."
The newcomer was an old man who was kneeling before Yan Shunzhong.
The funny thing is, there was someone behind him recording him with their phone.
The person with the phone became even more excited when they saw Yan Sui coming over.
This one is definitely going to be a hit.
Without saying a word, Yan Sui took out her phone and called the police, without intending to find out what had happened.
The man with the phone's expression changed drastically, and he shouted anxiously, "We didn't do anything, why are you calling the police?"
Yan Sui glanced at his phone. "They came to my house out of nowhere and made trouble, and even took pictures of us with their phones. Is that what you call not doing anything? Whether it's illegal or not, the police will decide."
Enraged, the man immediately put away his phone and pointed at her, shouting, "Yan Sui, don't you have any sense of public decency? A sixty or seventy-year-old is kneeling in front of you, don't you feel ashamed?"
Yan Sui smiled coldly, "First, I didn't make him kneel. Second, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. He knelt because he was in the wrong, what does it have to do with me?"
The man angrily shouted, "He's so old, kneeling before you! Aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?!"
Yan Sui glanced at the old man on the ground and said, "Heaven is watching what people do. It's not certain who will lose their lifespan."
She caught a glimpse of the police arriving out of the corner of her eye and chuckled.
"Look, the people who are here to take you in."
The visitor's surname was Yu, and he was currently in charge of the Yan family's case.
Police officer Yu recognized the old man at a glance, and his face darkened.
"When you caused trouble at the police station yesterday, I made myself perfectly clear to you! Your son and his family broke the law, and we arrested him according to regulations. If you're not satisfied, go directly to our superiors to file a complaint!"
Yan Suiming understood; so he was a member of the Chen family.
Old Chen, stubborn as ever, retorted, "They only posted two videos online, how is that illegal? Whether it's illegal or not is up to you to decide. I bet you took bribes from them. It's collusion between officials, bullying us ordinary folks!"
Yu Gong'an was so angry he laughed; this wasn't the first time he'd heard such a remark.
When they arrested the Chen couple yesterday, they were still taking pictures with their phones, saying they were going to expose them online.
"Cuff him and take him away!"
Explaining the law to someone who is ignorant of it is like teaching in Africa.
The man who had just been standing on the moral high ground, angrily rebuking Yan Sui, immediately cowered.
"This has nothing to do with me! Why are you arresting me?"
Yan Sui: "Officer, he just took pictures of us with his phone. He must have videos of us on his phone. Please take care of this."
Yu Gong'an nodded, "Don't worry."
He gave a signal and had someone confiscate the man's phone.
After the two were taken away, Yan Sui couldn't help but take out her phone and complain to Jiang Yeling.
Tell her by the way that the Chen family has been arrested and they won't cause any more trouble.
Jiang Yeling attended the opening ceremony and was busy building relationships with the crew, so she couldn't reply immediately.
It wasn't until the afternoon, when Yan Sui woke up from her nap, that she received her call.
"How was the opening ceremony?"
Jiang Yeling let out a long sigh, "It didn't go very smoothly."
Yan Sui clutched her long, fluffy hair, trying to open her eyes.
This weather is perfect for sleeping.
"Why isn't it going smoothly?"
Jiang Yeling sneered, "Yan Mo, relying on her good relationship with the investors, wanted to change the script and add scenes, and ended up arguing with the director."
This is a fantasy drama with an ensemble cast; each character is well-developed and has a significant amount of screen time.
Especially the junior sister played by Jiang Yeling, who later becomes a dark witch, has a role that rivals that of the female lead, Yan Mo.
Because of the numerous action scenes, Jiang Yeling went into seclusion for training in order to ensure the character's completeness.
Now Yan Mo not only wants to add more scenes for herself, but also wants to cut Jiang Yeling's highlight scenes, which naturally angers the director.
"You're home?"
Jiang Yeling: "No."
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore." Yan Sui simply hung up the phone.
Jiang Yeling crossed her arms and, seeing Yan Mo's face darken after speaking with the director, couldn't help but sarcastically remark:
"Why are you unhappy, Ms. Yan? Even though you're young, you still need to take care of yourself. Getting angry is bad for your breasts."
Yan Mo tightened her jaw and clenched her back teeth.
"Let's see if you can still laugh after I cut your scenes."
Jiang Yeling shrugged. "If you're so capable, go ahead and delete it."
Yan Mo's face was icy cold, and she was about to speak when her manager, who rushed over, interrupted her:
"Yan Mo, come with me!"
Without saying a word, she pulled Yan Mo aside.
The two whispered to each other, saying something unintelligible, but Yan Mo's face visibly darkened.
Jiang Yeling immediately took out her phone and opened Weibo, where several fresh trending topics were displayed.
