For money, he would sell anything, and he would even vomit up what he had eaten.
It's truly shocking.
She stretched out her fingers and carefully counted on them: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, hundreds, tens of thousands, hundreds...
Just as I was counting down to the last zero, the screen flashed and turned into a phone number.
This number was all too familiar to me; it was none other than Ma Long's.
Xu Yuan's heart tightened, and her expression clearly showed some fear, but she quickly answered the call.
Ma Long's voice came from the other end of the phone, "I've already transferred the money to you. Let me tell you, the road ahead is long, so it's best not to go down a dead end."
You know, that's a million.
This is practically like bleeding yourself dry!
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately tensed up, "What do you mean by that?"
"You should understand what I mean. Now that I've given him what he wants, he has to satisfy me too. Otherwise, I'll sue you for extortion!"
Ma Long's voice carried a chilling undertone, and Xu Yuan felt every nerve in her body tense up.
Xu Yuan suppressed her nervousness and said into the phone, "Go ahead and sue me! Don't forget, you were the one who blackmailed me first!"
"Where's the evidence? Even if there is, so what? I only asked for 500,000, but you've given me a million!"
Although he couldn't possibly sue her, Ma Long's tone remained firm: "In the end, not only will more people know about the video of you being filmed, but you'll also have to go to jail. Think about it carefully."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Xu Yuan felt a mix of emotions.
Resentment, helplessness, heartache, sadness.
After the call ended, the phone screen returned to the initial SMS balance display.
Xu Yuan's expression was incredibly complicated.
Originally, I just wanted to help Xiao Ran, but now I feel guilty if my own affairs affect his affairs.
A girl's reputation is the most important thing. Now that she has finally recovered, she can't bear to watch everything she has been given be destroyed again.
After much deliberation, Xu Yuan decided to send a message to Xiao Ran.
Xu Yuan: Teacher Xiao, I received the money, thank you.
Xiao Ran didn't go to work today. To be honest, although the problem was solved, he was still a little worried about Yan Xici. Although she didn't say anything, her fans were still sending her messages.
Xiao Ran was still worried that she would be upset because of this. After all, it would be embarrassing for her to hear such news about her boyfriend, whether it was true or not.
The two were still lying in bed when Xiao Ran's phone vibrated.
He took the phone and turned it on in front of Yan Xici, and then he saw Xu Yuan's message.
Xiao Ran raised an eyebrow and looked at the girl in his arms.
"Xu Yuan sent me a message, I'll reply to her."
Yan Xici snuggled slightly closer to him before lazily saying, "Okay."
Her face remained as obedient as ever.
"You really don't have any thoughts at all?" To be honest, Xiao Ran was really curious. If a girl were in this situation, she would probably be crying and making a scene, and might even break up with him.
However, Yan Xici not only didn't ask a single question, but instead seemed to completely understand.
This made Xiao Ran very curious.
Is she truly indifferent, or is she simply keeping quiet?
The girl nestled lazily in his arms, her voice weak and listless, "What do you want me to think?"
She was startled as soon as she woke up this morning, but thankfully her sister dealt with it quickly. Now all she wants to do is sleep in his arms.
Xiao Ran swallowed hard and hugged her even tighter. "Aren't you jealous?"
To be honest, he was genuinely curious.
Yan Xici sniffed, tilted her head slightly, and with a tremor of her long eyelashes, her eyes, which seemed to have been bathed in the morning light, were incredibly gentle.
She thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Actually, there is a little bit."
To say there's absolutely none would be a lie.
Her heart was small, so small that it could only hold him. Naturally, she was unhappy to hear such words.
However, she did not lose her mind because of this.
The necessary judgments will naturally still be made.
"Then why didn't you ask me?"
"What's there to ask? You're so outstanding, and you're not married yet. It's perfectly normal for girls to like you. If I keep harping on it even when there's no objection, then what am I supposed to do but be jealous every day?"
"Instead of doing that, I'd rather improve myself and strive to become more outstanding and worthy of you."
She spoke earnestly, word by word.
These are her truest thoughts over the past two days.
As long as you are good enough, no one can take Xiao Ran away from you. Instead of fighting amongst yourselves, you might as well take down all the women around him!
Xiao Ran was taken aback. Goodness, what's going on in this girl's head all day?
What do you mean by "worthy of a spouse"? If we're talking about it, I'm not even worthy of her!
"Where did you get these strange ideas from?"
He looked at Yan Xici with a bewildered expression.
The girl dismissively said, "Isn't this what normal people think?"
Making herself better is so that she can be with him better, not become a stumbling block on his road to success, and not hold him back. This is the only thing Yan Xici can do for him.
