Tang Xin arrived at Li Yunqian's villa.
Seeing the seal on it, I was completely dumbfounded.
yes……
Li Yunqian has gone bankrupt.
How could they possibly still be living in their old luxury villa?
She misunderstood.
She walked slowly along the street, feeling increasingly chilly.
When Li Yunqian went bankrupt, what he lost was far more than just the villa.
Can those past connections still serve their original purpose when he has no value anymore?
These members of wealthy families are all incredibly pragmatic.
It's already good enough that we didn't kick him while he was down.
How could I possibly help him?
Even if he were willing to save me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to.
Perhaps, Li Yunqian is currently wandering outside, living a life worse than a dog!
In her desperation, why did she think of coming to him?
They've completely lost their minds.
A gust of wind blew by, and Tang Xin looked up at the desolate street.
The only possibility...
It means going back to find Sun Xingkui.
"It's just a transaction of flesh and blood," she bit her lip and told herself. "Just turn off the lights, close your eyes, lie down there, and play dead."
"Just pretend you were bitten by a dog!"
Before gaining huge benefits, you always have to lose something, don't you?
Sun Xingkui is now the most powerful person she can come into contact with in this world. With such a ladder to heaven placed in front of her, she has no reason not to climb it.
What's the point of being reserved?
If she were to be disciplined by the school and offend Sun Xingkui, her life would be over.
Compared to that, what is this "sacrifice"?
Is it wrong for her to just want to live a better life?
If anyone's to blame, it's Li Yunqian in this life for being so useless that he was brought down by someone like Sun Xingkui!
If he had been more ambitious, she wouldn't be in this situation.
If she hadn't wanted to avoid him, she wouldn't have strained her relationship with Li's mother, cutting off her last escape route.
We've come to this point because Li Yunqian forced us to.
Thinking of this, Tang Xin took a deep breath, turned around, and walked back the way she came.
Their steps no longer hesitated.
...
Soon it was Shen Zhiyi's birthday.
Li Yunqian stood on the balcony, holding his phone, and Song Ruizhe's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Brother Qian, everything is done. Today we can deliver a fatal blow to Sun Xingkui and eliminate him completely!"
"Let's get this straight, you have to let me do this kind of thing—watching someone make a fool of themselves on the spot. It's too exciting!"
"Oh, right..." Song Ruizhe said worriedly, "It'll definitely be on the news tomorrow. Have you told your sister-in-law yet? What if she gets angry..."
Song Ruizhe shuddered and shrugged as he thought of the action scene of Shen Zhiyi that the director had sent him a few days ago.
"Brother, good luck to you."
Li Yunqian turned his head, looked at the birthday decorations in the room, lowered his gaze, took out a velvet box from his pocket, opened it, and saw the diamond ring inside. His eyes shone with deep emotion.
"Tonight, I will tell her everything."
He will show her his sincerity and beg for her forgiveness.
From the very beginning, his relationship with her was never that of a sugar daddy or sugar baby.
Instead... he wanted to spend the rest of his life with a love and affection that even he found incredible.
He wanted to marry her.
He only wants to marry her.
Li Yunqian hung up on Song Ruizhe and dialed Shen Zhiyi's number.
"Hello?"
"Little darling, how much longer until you're back?" He glanced at his watch. "Should I come pick you up?"
"No need," Shen Zhiyi said on the other end of the phone. "My dinner party is almost over, and Sister Jia got me a super amazing endorsement deal!"
"The director just said that my scenes were edited out to be particularly exciting, and if the broadcast is successful, he will offer me the lead role in his next drama, hehe."
"Wait a few more minutes, okay? I'll be back in a bit, and Jia-jie will take me there."
"Hmm." Li Yunqian's eyes curved into a smile, his sharp features softening instantly.
"My little darling, you're really amazing."
"Then drive carefully, I'll wait for you at home."
He hung up the phone.
Looking at the room full of flowers, candles, and colorful balls, I suddenly felt uneasy.
Li Yunqian strode into the room, picked up a piece of clothing that Shen Zhiyi had hung on the rack, hugged it to his chest, and took a deep sniff.
"Little darling, come back soon."
"Get to my side soon..."
Dining room.
As Shen Zhiyi saw the director off and left the private room, she ran into someone—Ning Yi, the eldest daughter of the Ning family.
"Miss Shen," Ning Yi called out to her.
Shen Zhiyi looked up in surprise, "You know me?"
She had seen a photo of Li Yunqian and Ning Yi together in a news report, but she never expected that Ning Yi, a female business elite, would know her.
After all, she's not famous at all.
Ning Yi, dressed in an exquisitely tailored suit and with her long hair neatly tied back, extended her hand to Chen Zhiyi and smiled, "I've heard about you before, and today I finally get to meet you in person."
Shen Zhiyi reached out in confusion and shook hands with her.
Ning Yi withdrew his hand, noticing the confusion in her eyes, and smiled, "Don't worry, I mean no harm. I'm just curious what kind of person could make someone as cold and restrained as Li Yunqian do something so impulsive and reckless for a woman."
"After meeting Miss Shen today, I understand a little better."
“I just watched your performance in the next box, and it was really good. I admire anyone who can shine in any field by using their own expertise.”
"Besides, you're so beautiful."
She thought Li Yunqian was really lucky.
A man's anger could lead him to the point of losing everything for a woman?
Shen Zhiyi frowned.
