The Yu family watched the online discussion with trepidation, their hearts aching as ants on a hot pan. All the important family members returned home to discuss the matter. Yu Ziyi resembled her aunt, who had died young. Therefore, even after her misdeeds, Old Master Yu remained steadfast in protecting her, later sending her abroad to escape the domestic strife.
Upon receiving the news, the Yu family initially intended to warn Director Sun Hua, but then learned that Cheng Zhiming was considering transitioning to a more behind-the-scenes role as assistant director, and that she and Director Sun Hua had a good relationship. They immediately gave up the idea—they knew Cheng Zhiming was not to be trifled with, and they weren't about to get their teeth into it.
"Dad, what should we do? If Ziyi were to appear on that show, our whole family would be finished." They had mobilized nearly every connection they had to successfully destroy the evidence and suppress the incident. They had thought the matter was over, but who knew Ji Jingyao would suddenly have the urge to host a live broadcast on the Niejingtai station—and the higher-ups actually approved it.
"Yeah, if this gets out of hand, not only will Ziyi be arrested, but our family will be in trouble too. We might all go to jail." After that incident, the Yu family's influence was much weaker than before. It was impossible to say that the rest of the family had no problem with Ziyi. Therefore, they all wanted to push Yu Ziyi out, have her confess and take the blame, so as to avoid having to appear on the show and implicate the family.
"Dad, Ziyi has lived a free and easy life for twenty years. She should be content. If she has any conscience, she will know what to do."
Old Master Yu understood what the younger generation meant, but when he thought of his granddaughter's face, which looked exactly like his daughter's, his heart ached. He looked around at them and finally sighed deeply, "I understand. I'm old, and I only have a few years left. I can't take care of you anymore."
Although he was reluctant, he had to. He couldn't let his entire family suffer for the sake of a granddaughter. It was also his fault for spoiling this granddaughter so much that she became so bold and reckless. If she had told them before she took action, they would have been able to help her clean up the mess better.
Hearing his words, the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, they felt that with Yu Ziyi's personality, she wouldn't listen to them. Since she was currently living abroad, they couldn't reach her from China. They had to trick her back home first.
…
Although Yu Ziyi had been abroad for twenty years, she still had trouble getting along with foreigners. This was primarily because she had lost the aura of being the eldest daughter of the Yu family. No one supported her here, and she couldn't accept this disparity. Furthermore, her family had used up a lot of favors to cover her losses, and they were very dissatisfied with her, reducing her pocket money significantly. Prices abroad were also very high...
She could only comfort herself that at least she was free abroad, while Hong Fang was still paralyzed and living a life worse than death. When she died, this matter would be completely over.
As for whether she'll go to hell after death, Yu Ziyi isn't worried. She's already gone abroad and changed her faith. She's now a devout Christian, often going to church to pray and confess, and volunteering. She'll definitely go to heaven after she dies!
However, this contented mood was shattered by the upcoming new program "Are There Any Good People in Front of the Evil Mirror?"
The director of the program even forwarded a news item from many years ago, in which her name was clearly mentioned.
Yu Ziyi could no longer sit still and paced back and forth in the hall of the villa.
No! She would never agree to appear on this show! She knew the legend of the Mirror of Evil. If she appeared on it, all her past deeds would be exposed and broadcast to the world. She knew Shi Miao had many fans, even her neighbors were fans. Because of Shi Miao, they were all very interested in metaphysics. They watched the live broadcast of the Eighteen Layers of Hell every week and enjoyed it with great gusto.
They will definitely not miss this new show.
She will die socially in front of the whole world.
Yu Ziyi couldn't help but call her mother, "Mom, did you see what happened online?"
"I saw it, Ziyi, please go home and let's discuss this matter."
Yu Ziyi subconsciously nodded in agreement, but suddenly a strong sense of crisis surged up, like a needle, piercing her awake. "No, I'm not going back! If I go back, I'll be walking into a trap and will definitely be forcibly sent to the underworld. Mom, quickly ask Grandpa to find someone to cancel the show."
"Do you think our family is capable of such a thing? Thanks to you, we've used up a lot of our connections. Ji Jingyao is behind this program, and the director is also friends with Shi Miao's apprentice. We can't possibly sacrifice our entire family for this. If you remember your grandfather's love for you, return home immediately."
Yu Ziyi's mind suddenly became much clearer at this moment. "I understand. You want to sacrifice me, right? I won't go back!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone. At this moment, she was very glad that she was abroad. If she were in China, she would have been taken away by her family members long ago.
She just didn't believe that Shi Miao could forcefully take her to the underworld even though she had been living abroad. She wouldn't go to such lengths just for a show.
No, I still have to change my address! Otherwise, it would be bad if her family exposed her address.
Yu Ziyi began to pack her things. She had just refused her mother's request to go back and hung up on her mother, effectively breaking off relations with her family. She would likely lose all her pocket money and would have to be self-reliant. The money in her account would barely keep her afloat for half a year.
