Little White had been glued to the internet all afternoon, monitoring the public opinion. That family was truly shameless; after the video went viral, they immediately launched a live stream, shedding crocodile tears and accusing Yanji of being arrogant and malicious.

The middle-aged woman said, "She wore a mask and sunglasses the whole time, acting aloof. Tomorrow is the wedding day, and her wedding dress is like this. We can only postpone the wedding. The losses from the hotel, wedding planning, guests' accommodation and air tickets add up to over 100,000 yuan.

We didn't ask for much, just let her compensate according to their store's rules. She not only refused but also directly had us kicked out. Even my kind daughter-in-law tried to speak up for them, saying it wasn't easy for young girls to run a shop, and suggested they exchange for an existing design in the store. This designer surnamed Yan was still unwilling.

After finishing her words, she nudged the woman beside her. Miss Chen immediately nodded with teary eyes.

"On such an important day as a wedding, even the time of going out has to be calculated. Now that there's been such a big incident, it's delayed the auspicious time. What if things don't go smoothly in the future..." She started to sob: "We only posted this to let everyone avoid trouble. This store, this designer, absolutely shouldn't be hired."

She posted the studio's address and thorny words' photos, netizens denounced thorny words for being heartless, irresponsible, and causing harm.

Xiao Bai was scolding someone online furiously, then turned to see Yan Ji still watching the show with a calm face. She exclaimed, "Yan Jie, you're not angry at all"

Put yourself in her shoes, if she were cursed like that, she would probably want to crawl through the internet cable and twist the caps of those who spew venom.

Yan Ji murmured, "I've heard worse."

Her voice was too quiet, Xiaobai couldn't hear clearly: "What"

"It's time to clock out," Yan Ji closed his laptop, "Any later and we won't be able to leave."

Her car was parked in a street parking space on the next block over. Before she even reached it, Yan Ji stopped her steps. The car was littered with trash, and its body was smeared with the red flesh of dragon fruit, large patches of glaring crimson catching her eye and overlapping with a certain memory from the past.

Her head felt like it had been smashed by a heavy hammer. Dizziness washed over her, and the scene before her flickered constantly. One moment it was her car, wrecked and mangled, the next it was a dirty, dingy alleyway. The pungent smell of blood made her want to vomit. Suppressed anger surged from within, instantly shattering Yanji's fragile psyche.

——Kill them all, let's die together——

A voice echoed in my mind, laced with temptation. Immediately following it were thoughts of cruelty and bloodshed.

"Miss, are you alright" Someone had caught her as she swayed.

"Yanji came back to her senses. The scene before her became clear again, and all the cruel thoughts were suppressed. A young girl was supporting her, who shook her head and pulled her hand out: "It's okay, thank you."

The other person looked at her with concern: "Your face looks so bad, don't you want to go to the hospital Your eyes are red too."

"No need, I just had a bout of low blood sugar. A little rest will do," Yan Ji said gratefully.

The girl took out a candy from her bag and offered it to her: "Okay, if you still feel uncomfortable later, go to the hospital. We're leaving now."

She took her boyfriend's arm and pointed at Yanji's bag. "Your phone has been ringing."

Yan Ji looked at the girl walking away, her expression unreadable. After a long silence, she hailed a taxi and got in. She then took out her phone from her bag, it was an unfamiliar number. She answered, listened for a couple of sentences, then hung up without emotion.

It was 'kind netizens' who called to denounce her.

"Master, please go to the Gu family."

What just happened made Yan Ji's mood drop to the lowest point. If she wasn't happy, then no one else could be either.

She had called Xie Fangzhe beforehand, and as soon as she entered the lobby of Gushe, he came out of the elevator.

Xie Fang didn't know much about Gu Zong's wife, but he had heard many rumors about her. She was surrounded by admirers, known for her ruthless methods. Any woman who got close to Gu Zong met a bad end – some went to jail, some fled abroad, and one even ended up in a mental institution. Even the Red Emperor later on had to call her "Sister."

He cautiously led Yan Ji to Gu Chenye's office, afraid that he would be negligent in any way and provoke the trouble of this fairy-like but venomous Mrs. Gu: "Madam, Mr. Gu is in a meeting. Please sit in the office for a while. Would you like coffee or juice"

"Juice."

"Okay."

After Xie Fangze left, she casually picked up a book from the nearby shelf and started reading. It was all about economics management, quite dry stuff. She only flipped through a few pages before feeling a little sleepy.

Just as she was thinking about whether to take a nap, the office door opened and Gu Chenye in a suit and tie walked in. As soon as he saw her, his brows furrowed, which had become a conditioned reflex expression when facing Yan Ji. "What are you doing here"

"Waiting for you to get off work."

Gu Cenye gave her a long, hard look. His expression didn't change much, but anyone could see the sarcasm in his eyes and eyebrows, the disdain in his condescending gaze. He didn't speak, simply sat down at his desk and started working, completely ignoring her presence.

Yanji didn't feel uncomfortable because of his cold attitude. She took out her phone and took a picture of him.

Gu Chenye's signing action paused, he coldly looked at her: "If you can't stay, get out."

"Snap!"

Yanji shared the photos she took on her friend circle, captioning it: "Time flows peacefully."

It had been half an hour, and besides Xiaobai and Sheng Ru故, no one else had commented. This wasn't really about her poor social skills, but rather the shock her shameless words had caused everyone else. The whole of Kyoto knew how much Gu Zong despised her. If it weren't for the sake of the families' longstanding friendship, he could have probably gotten rid of her.

And with Mr. Gu's glacial gaze that could freeze someone solid, she actually had the nerve to say "time flows peacefully".

Yanji looked at the silent friend circle and said with a half-joking, half-serious tone, “Look, you’re really bad at making friends. No one even comments on your photos. I always tell you to stop looking like you’re about to cry all the time, but you never listen.”

Gu Chenye: "..."

He was simply in awe of Yan Ji's ability to twist facts and turn black into white.

Gu Chenye put down his pen, leaned back, lit a cigarette irritably, and narrowed his eyes slightly, pupils like ink: "What do you want"

He didn't think Yanji would travel so far just to pick him up from work.

Yanji's voice was soft: "I'm being cyberbullied."

" "..." Gu Chenye was even more annoyed, he didn't even feel like smoking. He looked at her expressionlessly: "You're not afraid of being violent in front of others, are you afraid of being cyberbullied"ng Wan Ci's finally calmed mood in turmoil again.Such a despicable person just deserves to be dealt with.Shen Wanci: "He may have his reasons.""What hardships Shouldn't a couple share both good times...
