But there was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time.
Ma Jiaojiao's heart tightened. "Bai Yan, say something! Why aren't you saying anything?"
Speak up! Admit that she deliberately said those hurtful things to Mu Yuanchen because she couldn't have the love she wanted!
"It's all over the trending topics now. If you don't do something, Mu Yuanchen really won't forgive you!"
"Bai Yan, listen to me. Go find Mu Yuanchen, call him. I can tell he likes you. Apologize to him, and we'll call it even!"
After a long while, a low chuckle came from the other end of the phone.
"Apologize?"
"Why should I apologize?" Knowing that Ma Jiaojiao was recording, she deliberately said, "I'm rich, beautiful, and capable. Why would I be afraid that he won't like me? If I break up with him now, there will be another one, who will only be better than him."
Ma Jiaojiao's breathing tightened, anger and jealousy causing her to lose all reason. "You think you can just break it off like that?"
"Bai Yan, do you know you've killed me!"
"Are you trying to destroy me?!"
Ma Jiaojiao wanted to say something more, but the other party had already hung up the phone.
"I haven't forgotten you." Bai Yan chuckled and opened another page on the website. She was happy to witness the dog-eat-dog scene.
In the original storyline, Ma Jiaojiao, as the original owner's friend, deleted the chat history related to Mu Yuanchen on the original owner's phone, making it impossible for the original owner to even send the chat history to clarify.
An eye for an eye, that's only fair.
...
The trending topic was suppressed by Mu Yuanchen's company; they could delete the trending topic and the comments, but they couldn't erase the audience's memories.
Mu Yuanchen's public image has been severely damaged by this incident. Fans can try to defend him, but some things can be defended, while others cannot, such as 'no way.'
[What the hell! He doesn't have the skill but expects to kill both sisters in one go? No wonder Bai Yan doesn't want to play against him!]
[It's true that the actor is very handsome, but just thinking about him... makes me instantly lose my composure.]
Mu Yuanchen threw his phone away angrily and turned to glare at Song Rizhao through gritted teeth.
His eyes were also bloodshot: "Why didn't you turn off the live stream?"
Song Rizhao told the truth: "I turned it off, but the live stream inexplicably turned back on by itself later." However, the last time it caused such a big commotion, he didn't intend to turn it off again.
"Oops, I think you did it on purpose!"
With his name trending on social media today, Song Rizhao's reputation is almost ruined, and his career may even come to a standstill. Was it an accident?
Song Rizhao may have acted intentionally, but so what?
"Was it on my own, or are you just useless? You said you were going to play with other people, but you ended up being used as a gigolo... It's ridiculous. You can't do it yourself, so you blame me?"
"you!"
"alright!"
Bai Ruohan, who had been sitting in the shadows, said, "The problem isn't even solved yet, are we going to start fighting amongst ourselves?"
Bai Ruohan's gaze turned slightly cold: "Think about where the plan went wrong?"
If Bai Yan didn't know about their plan, then someone was interfering. Who is opposing them?
Song Rizhao glanced at Mu Yuanchen and thought for a moment, "I think there might be some information gap here. You and Bai Yan have almost never met privately. Several times the planned development of your relationship was facilitated by your 'best friend' Ma Jiaojiao."
Mu Yuanchen understood what he meant and shook his head: "The Ma family's film and television company still needs me to provide resources, so there's no need to target me."
Before Mu Yuanchen could finish speaking, his phone rang. It was a text message from his agent.
After reading it, Mu Yuanchen raised his head with a grim expression, "Ma Jiaojiao's company snatched one of my S+ projects."
...
The next morning, in the Bai family's restaurant.
"Dad, what should we do? There's such a big fuss online, everyone's cursing Yuan Chen..." Ji An'an sobbed, "How could they do this? How could Sister Xiao Yan say such things?"
Ji An'an's face was covered in tears from crying.
Lin Mingjing and Bai Ruohan had always doted on her since she was a child. Now that they saw her crying, they both fussed over her and comforted her like a child.
The two adults teased Ji An'an like clowns, and Ji An'an quickly stopped crying and started laughing.
But the next second, she couldn't laugh anymore.
On the escalator on the second floor, Bai Yan came out of her bedroom.
She had clearly just woken up; her hair was disheveled and hanging down her back. With her eyes half-open, she called out to the maid downstairs, "Get me a glass of milk and two slices of toast."
"Yes, Miss," the maid replied respectfully.
Yesterday, the original owner of this body did drink quite a bit of alcohol because of Mu Yuanchen's engagement. When she woke up this morning, Bai Yan's head still hurt a little. She pressed her temples, walked to the dining table, and sat down naturally.
Before she came down, Ji An'an and the other two were still talking, but after she came down, all three of them fell silent.
Lin Mingjing snorted, and Bai Ruohan gave a cold laugh and mocked.
Bai Yan, meanwhile, was looking at her phone with her legs crossed.
Ji An'an glanced at the group, and seemingly to ease the tension, she started talking to Lin Mingjing about the family trip they had taken half a month ago, but Bai Yan was not on that trip.
Back in the Bai family, the original owner was always the one who was ignored. The more she was ignored by her relatives, the more she wanted them to see her, even if they could only show her half the care they showed to Ji An'an, an outsider.
But Bai Yan is different. She is mentally strong enough and is not afraid of being ignored by outsiders.
After the maid brought her breakfast, she thanked her, took a sip of milk, slowly spread sauce on her toast, and then glanced at today's news.
[Ma Moumou is suspected of engaging in group drug use, and his drug addiction relapsed in public.]
Ma Moumou, Ma Jiaojiao?
When her gaze fell on this trending topic, Bai Yan chuckled: Mu Yuanchen and his gang's methods really are all the same, no matter how they change.
After finishing the last bite of toast, she wiped her hands with a napkin and was about to drink her warm milk.
"Waaah..." Ji An'an suddenly burst into tears, "I'm sorry..."
"I didn't mean to... Waaah," Ji An'an cried, burying her face in Bai Ruohan's arms. "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it!" She sobbed uncontrollably, just like a child.
"Enough!"
Lin Mingjing slammed his chopsticks on the ground: "An'an is crying like this, and you still have the mood to drink milk?"
"All of this is because of you, and you're still unmoved?"
"Bai Yan, how can your heart be so cold!"
"How could I have given birth to a daughter like you?"
Bai Yan's expression remained unchanged as she looked at Ji An'an: "Ji An'an, do you feel wronged living here?"
Ji An'an's red eyes showed obvious grievance. After Bai Yan looked over, she quickly shook her head and choked out, "No...no. Dad, brother, don't fight with sister because of me..."
