After being slapped twice, Yi Gui was completely enraged. "I don't care if she's Chu An'an or Shen Xinyao, she's just a cheap bitch. I'll not only curse her, I'll hit her!"
Enraged, Yi Lianxue charged forward, yelling, "You bitch, you dare hit me? I'll fight you to the death!"
Yi Tianran's eyes turned cold, and she flicked two pills from her fingertips, which flew into the mouths of her cousins.
"Cough cough..." Before the two of them could even react, they had already swallowed it.
An unprecedented bitterness instantly swept through their mouths, so bitter that their faces contorted, and they collapsed to the ground, unable to utter a single word.
Yi Tianran immediately summoned the manager, "These two people are trying to scam us. Quickly call security and send them away to prevent them from being taken advantage of and forced to pay huge sums of compensation to your store."
The manager was dumbfounded: "Huh?! There's such a way to stage an accident?"
They're just a luxury goods store, how could they be trying to extort money from us?
The customers in the store couldn't help but come over to watch.
Yi Tianran said with a serious expression: "Of course, some people have no bottom line. They will do anything for money. Otherwise, why would they bring a group of people here and lie on the ground pretending to be dead? Isn't it just to make people make a big fuss?"
For a moment, many people's eyes fell on that group of spoiled brats.
"I never imagined that these people, who look so respectable, would do such shady things behind the scenes."
"What's with lying on the ground pretending to be dead? It's like a mangy dog, utterly shameless."
"What kind of new scam is this? They were jumping around just a moment ago, and now they're all dead?"
"Quickly take pictures of these people's ugly faces—"
The spoiled brats, dragged into this mess, were utterly humiliated. They no longer cared about the Yi family cousins, turning and leaving with expressions of utter dismay: "We've had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to run into people like the Yi family. We'd better stay away from them in the future; they're insane..."
The Yi siblings were truly suffering in silence. Their bodies ached and they felt weak. Their tongues were sore and numb, as if they were about to rot.
"Alright, where's security! Quick, throw these two out... carry them out." The manager immediately realized what was happening and urged them on.
The security guards quickly came in and, as if carrying corpses, threw Yi Gui and Yi Lianxue out.
They were surrounded by people on the street for quite a while.
They finally regained their strength, but still couldn't speak. Terrified and utterly disheveled, they entered the hospital.
The doctor's diagnosis came back quickly: "The two of you probably ingested something that caused your tongue to become numb. Go home and rest for a week, and you'll get better after applying some medicine."
The Yi siblings exchanged glances, recalling what had happened earlier, and guessed that it was Yi Tianran who had done it, but she was too fast and they hadn't even seen it clearly.
They later went to the store to check the surveillance footage, but were stopped outside and prohibited from entering.
It's obvious that they've been blacklisted.
This is a loss we're destined to suffer in silence.
The following week was an immense ordeal for Yi Gui and Yi Lianxue.
Every time they wanted to eat or drink something, their tongues would be in excruciating pain, causing them to break out in a cold sweat. In the end, they could only have glucose drips to replace their daily meals.
During this time, the hatred of the Yi family cousins towards Shen Xinyao and Yi Tianran skyrocketed, and they cursed them a thousand times in their hearts.
Having finally recovered, Yi Lianxue immediately contacted Yi Gui, "Cousin, have you found out the current identities and whereabouts of those two bitches? I must find them and avenge myself!"
"I ordered people to investigate for a long time, but there were no results." Yi Gui was also furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Yi Lianxue clenched her fists in frustration: "Isn't there any other way? Is there anyone with a wide network of connections...?"
“By the way, you can go ask Yi Qilin for help!” Yi Gui said sarcastically. “He’s quite capable now. He’s not only a key member of the Yi family, but also a major shareholder of Xingyu Entertainment. He has connections all over the world. What can possibly stump him?”
"What? Xingyu?!" Yi Lianxue's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and her heart suddenly started pounding wildly.
For the past few days, she has been thinking about one thing.
Why is she unable to hold her head high in high society circles? Why is someone like Shen Xinyao better than her?
Ultimately, isn't it just a lack of money and fame?
If she can become famous in the entertainment industry because of her outstanding appearance, she will have enough capital.
"So, all that talk, all that gift-giving and flattery, was just to ask me for a chance to debut?" In Yi Qilin's office, looking at Yi Lianxue's obsequious expression, he spoke calmly.
"Good cousin, you're so successful and capable, can't you help your cousin me?" Yi Lianxue said with a smile, "As long as you give me a chance, I will definitely become an overnight sensation and make you a fortune. Believe me, I will definitely not let you down, okay?"
"Cousin, you don't need to be so polite with me. I didn't say I wouldn't help you." Yi Qilin seemed to have no way to deal with her.
Yi Lianxue looked delighted: "So you agree?"
"Not only do I agree, but I'll also find the most professional agent to create a persona for you. As long as you're willing to follow my arrangements, I guarantee you'll soar to great heights and become a superstar." Yi Qilin couldn't have been more considerate.
"That's great!" Yi Lianxue was overjoyed. "I knew Qilin was the best. Unlike that useless idiot Yi Gui, who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long, living a life of debauchery and has no ambition whatsoever. I will definitely follow you and work hard from now on."
While praising him, they also didn't forget to both flatter and criticize him.
Yi Qilin gently advised, "Cousin, don't say that about him. My cousin just pursues things differently from us. With Uncle supporting him, he can live a carefree life without worrying about food or drink. So he doesn't need to compare himself to me."
The more he said that, the more resentful Yi Lianxue felt.
Why is it that good-for-nothing Yi Gui can live so comfortably and have so many people chasing after him? Just because he is Yi Sanbo's only son, and because he is a man, he can enjoy all of this.
And what about her?
Although she was also her father's only daughter, she had a limited allowance each month.
Therefore, she can only rely on herself.
"Don't mention him, he's a downer." Yi Lianxue pouted in annoyance, sat down next to him, and said enthusiastically, "Isn't it time to sign the contract? You should have your assistant prepare it so I can sign it right away."
"Alright, alright." Yi Qilin nodded indulgently and gave his assistant a wink.
Half an hour later, the contract was ready. Yi Lianxue wanted to take another look, but Yi Qilin turned to the last page: "Cousin, look, from now on, every endorsement you get and every penny you earn will be split 30/70 between you and Xingyu. You get 70%, the company gets 30%, and any extra profits are all yours. Don't worry, you're my family, I won't cheat you."
