Looking at it this way, it seems that more people care about Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan felt a mix of emotions, and was very grateful for the silent support of these anonymous fans.
Strangers online are all well-intentioned, so why let real-life "best friends" turn out like this...?
Brothers and sisters, I just went to the streamer's page to warn her to be careful of this "best friend." This "best friend" doesn't seem to have much genuine friendship to offer.
Now that you mention it, I need to remind the streamer too.
[Beware of fire, theft, and best friends! Sigh, even streamers have fake best friends like this, let alone me. Suddenly I've become more philosophical about life.]
[Haha... I'm really sorry to the person upstairs, although I think it's inappropriate, I just wanted to laugh...]
I think everyone should stop acting like this. My best friend is devastated by her long post, and we're all so cheerful. It's truly inhumane.
After reading through some more comments, Jiang Yan asked Qin Yiheng, "What do you think Shen Ru will do next?"
Qin Yiheng did not answer immediately, but instead looked out the window.
Jiang Yan also looked over, her gaze gradually deepening...
Shen Ru has left the villa area and returned to her own home.
The weather wasn't very good tonight. On the way back, it started to drizzle, and a chill spread through my body, gradually reaching every part of my body.
But nothing could have chilled Shen Ru's heart more.
She didn't care that she was soaked from head to toe; her brain was still working non-stop—there must be another way!
However, we have tried all sorts of methods that we could think of, but none of them had a particularly good effect, or rather, none of them had any effect at all.
It has to be said that this time they have truly encountered a desperate situation.
Shen Ru mechanically took a shower in her room, followed her usual skincare routine, and even put on a face mask.
It wasn't that she was particularly calm and composed; rather, it was a kind of composure that came from being completely clueless and had reached a breaking point. So she could only try to calm herself down as much as possible, as if appearing unhurried would comfort her.
After leaving the bathroom, she mechanically sat down on the edge of the bed and stared blankly at the floor in front of her.
Time passed by second by second without Shen Ru noticing, and it was only after a long time that she remembered she should wash off the face mask.
When she came back after washing up, she was still sitting there.
She should probably prepare for the worst...
"Crackling sound—"
"Boom!"
Lightning flashed across the sky, casting a bright beam even though the lights were on inside. Then, a thunderclap startled Shen Ru. Just then, her cell phone rang again.
"Ahhhh—"
Shen Ru didn't know what she had been thinking, but now that she was interrupted, she realized that her nerves were on edge. She screamed in fright, and her hands wouldn't obey her commands. She couldn't hold the phone for a long time. The more anxious she became, the more flustered she became.
After finally managing to grab her phone and take a look, Shen Ru's heart finally settled back into her stomach.
It was the company boss calling.
Shen Ru answered the phone just before it was about to hang up automatically.
In her panic, she didn't even have time to think about why her boss was calling so late or what he might say. She answered the phone without saying a word.
The boss's voice came from the other end, filled with dissatisfaction and helplessness: "Hello, Shen Ru? Why did it take you so long to answer?"
Shen Ru opened her mouth, as if only now realizing she could speak. Just as she was about to explain, the boss continued, "I'm informing you that you've been fired."
"What?" Shen Ru screamed, her voice breaking.
The boss naturally noticed this, but he assumed that Shen Ru was just too surprised and didn't think much of it.
"You were absent from work without cause for more than a day, and you didn't do any of your work properly, which affected the next step of the company's project. The partners are also very dissatisfied with us, causing losses to the company. Moreover, the people in the company now have a very... bad opinion of you. There may be some personal grudges between you, and I can't ask too much. But after taking everything into consideration, you are fired."
Shen Ru could tell that before saying "bad," the boss clearly had more offensive words, but he probably felt it was unnecessary to go that far, so he deliberately took a roundabout approach and chose a more tactful and easier-to-accept word.
“Logically speaking, you should be responsible for compensating the company for the losses you've caused, but, Shen Ru…”
The boss's voice was rather earnest; since they were no longer in the same company, there was no need to make things any more ugly.
Moreover, since Shen Ru had remained silent, which was something she always found difficult to accept, the boss couldn't bear to continue criticizing her.
The boss then softened his tone further: "You've been a long-time employee of the company. Even if the company doesn't value your achievements, it values your hard work. So, we'll let bygones be bygones. Take a good rest for a while, and then look for another job later."
"Your abilities are still commendable. Well... that's all for now. Get some rest."
The boss hung up the phone after speaking, and Shen Ru had no right to speak from beginning to end.
But none of that matters anymore.
She knew perfectly well what bad things the company had said about her—it was just those same few despicable people from before. Now that she was in trouble, they were all kicking her while she was down, and even got her job.
It's gone, it's gone, what else can you do?
She has already lost enough, why should she be afraid of this?
Having nothing left also means she's no longer afraid of losing anything.
"Ha, ha ha... ha ha ha!" Shen Ru suddenly burst into wild laughter.
They were all pressuring her.
But even if she dies, she'll take someone down with her.
"Qiwei, Han Mingrui, if you have the guts, then kill all my family members, force them to their deaths! Do you think I'm afraid? Hahaha, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
Shen Ru gritted her teeth, almost breaking them.
She turned her head sharply and looked at her pillow.
“Jiang Yan…”
In fact, Shen Ru was still conscious. Of course she knew that the pillow could not possibly be Jiang Yan's. But that's how she wanted it to be. She had already become like this, so what did she have to worry about?
However, Shen Ru also realized one thing—people aren't so easily driven crazy.
If she were crazy right now, wouldn't she not have to think about anything? Why would it be so difficult?
"Jiang Yan, you've wronged me so badly, you'll suffer a terrible death too..."
The rain outside was pattering against the window, as if it would knock the window off. Coupled with Shen Ru's maniacal laughter and those words, it was extremely eerie.
The room was brightly lit, yet eerily gloomy.
