A red date, a mallet strike—just a circus animal trainer's little trick.
Ji Xiaoxiao looked down on the people in the car. "Do whatever you want," she thought, "the road is wide open, everyone can go their own way. I'm not one to meddle." But why did they have to come out and show off? Weren't they just digging their own graves—courting death?
Driven to the brink of her breaking point by the noise, Ji Xiaoxiao took a step forward.
The man saw everything Ji Xiaoxiao did and assumed that she had changed her mind and wanted to return to his arms. He pushed Liu Tinghui aside, opened his arms, and embraced her.
“Little Anran, as long as you behave well, whatever you want, your master will give you. Look at your master’s new pet, she’s well-behaved, cute and sensible. She wanted the Best Supporting Actress award, and your master got it for her.” The man was always showing off his wealth and power. “Hey, that award should have belonged to you, Little Anran, but you ignored your master for three months, and your master was sad, so I had to punish you properly.”
It would have been better not to mention the Best Supporting Actress award, but bringing it up so casually is like rubbing salt into a wound or pulling a tiger's mane. The former is excruciatingly painful, while the latter is a blow to one's dignity.
The man attacked with a two-pronged approach, each blow aimed at Ji Xiaoxiao's heart. Even though Ji Xiaoxiao was a wise and enlightened person, at this moment, her overwhelming rage could no longer be contained.
"Get out, you two bitches, get out here!"
She had painstakingly planned for three to five years, worked diligently and conscientiously, never expecting that because of this man's selfishness, all her plans would come to nothing in the end.
"Come out! All of you, come out here! This is my car. You rode in my car without my permission. This is illegal possession of someone else's property." Since she was determined to break ties with the man, Ji Xiaoxiao had to steer public opinion in her favor.
"Little Anran, have your wings grown strong again?" the man asked.
The man narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in the narrow gap. A heavy killing intent burst forth, his imposing aura enough to look down on everyone in the world.
Sitting with her knees drawn up, Liu Tinghui was closest to the man, and she felt his changes most deeply. His psychological shift led to a physical chill. Although Liu Tinghui was wearing a coat and the car was warm as springtime, her lips suddenly turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Apologize to your master, and he can forgive you this time." Out of consideration for their past relationship, the man gave Ji Xiaoxiao her final ultimatum.
To Ji Xiaoxiao, the man's act of great compassion was nothing more than his disobedience, his indifference towards her, and his disregard for her as insignificant as grass or ants.
"Just because I haven't shown my teeth doesn't mean you all think I'm a pushover!"
Ji Xiaoxiao was instantly enraged. She rushed forward, grabbed the man and Liu Tinghui with one hand each, and pulled them out of the car. She then casually tossed them aside.
The man hadn't expected Ji Xiaoxiao to treat him this way. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he was being pointed at, laughed at, and judged. The man calmly got up, dusted himself off, and gently helped Liu Tinghui up.
"Xiao Anran, you..." Before the man could finish speaking, Ji Xiaoxiao suddenly sprang up, clenching her fists tightly and delivering one powerful punch after another to the man.
"You stole my car, you did that kind of thing in my car, you used unfair means to make Liu Tinghui win the Best Supporting Actress award... Waaah, I've worked so hard for so long, every day... Waaah..." As she hit her, tears welled up in Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes, and drops slid down her cheeks to the ground.
The beautiful woman wept silently, her eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly pitiful, while the crowd was filled with righteous indignation. Hearing her complaints and resentment, the discerning eyes of the crowd clearly understood the whole story.
The man forcibly took the woman's car and did unspeakable things to her. When the woman tried to reason with him, the man not only refused to back down but also became increasingly demanding, verbally humiliating her and revealing that he had used improper means to secure a Best Supporting Actress award at a global film festival for his woman.
"He seems pretty rich. If he's up to something, why doesn't he use his own car? Even if he doesn't have a car, he could find a hotel and spend a couple hundred yuan to get a room, right?"
"What do you know? You can know a person's face but not their heart. You can't judge a person by their appearance alone."
"Hmm, this guy looks decent enough, how come he's worse than a pig or a dog?"
"Hey, by the way, do you guys know them?"
"Ah, I know that woman. She's Liu Tinghui, the winner of the Best Supporting Actress award at this year's Global Film Festival. As for that man... I've never seen him before, I don't recognize him."
"What Best Supporting Actress award winner? She's a fraud. Haven't you heard that she got the role by using connections?"
Amidst the chatter and lively discussion, someone finally touched on the key point.
“I remember, I remember who that man is. There are three young masters in the capital: He Yun of the Qiao family, Jiang Chu of the Zhou family, and Han Xuan of the Leng family. He is Leng Han Xuan, the only son of the Leng family.”
When the man's name was revealed, the crowd, who had been shouting and cursing until their faces turned red, scattered in a flash, as if a vicious mad dog was behind them.
Ji Xiaoxiao, who was hiding to the side, suddenly heard the name "Leng Hanxuan". She was shocked and a sharp pain came from the depths of her heart. In an instant, it almost took Ji Xiaoxiao's life.
"The original owner's deeply buried memories have been triggered."
Ji Xiaoxiao looked left and right, found a dark corner, and with a single leap, she soared to the roof of the small building. The rooftop was empty. Ji Xiaoxiao staggered and locked the door. Exhausted, she leaned against the door and began to absorb the original owner's memories.
