I smiled faintly and said, "Director Xiao is right."
Xiao Yang's expression changed slightly.
He closed his eyes for a moment and took Yue Shan's hand. "Yue Shan, let's go!"
The car drove out of the underground garage.
Xiao Yang dropped Yue Shan off at the villa entrance. "You go in and wait for me."
Yue Shan pouted. "Xiao Yang, aren't you coming to keep me company tonight?"
Xiao Yang gently ruffled her hair. "Be good, I have a few things to take care of."
Only then did Yue Shan obediently nod. "Then come back early."
Watching the two of them being so intimate stirred complex emotions within me.
I sniffed, suppressing the bitterness in my heart.
I took out my phone and sent a message to Yue Shan:
[See you at the café.]
Half an hour later, Yue Shan and I met at the café.
She had applied exquisite makeup, her eyes gleaming with pride.
I got straight to the point. "Did you buy your way onto the trending list?"
Yue Shan smirked. "So what if I did?"
I looked at her seriously. "Yue Shan, you've already gotten what you wanted. There's no need to buy your way onto the trending list anymore, right?"
The smile on her face faded.
She stared coldly at me. "Zhou Ya, do you know how much I hate you?"
She paused for a moment. "Back in high school, why did you get to be first in our grade?"
"Why did you get so many people's affection?"
"Why does even Xiao Yang like you?"
I looked at her quietly.
Yue Shan continued, "If it weren't for you, I would have been the center of attention in the whole school!"
"Everyone would like me!"
I took a deep breath. "Yue Shan, I have evidence of your bullying."
"If you keep being so stubborn, I won't hesitate to hand the evidence over to the police."
Yue Shan's eyes turned red with anger. "You dare!"
She suddenly stood up and shouted, "Zhou Ya, we are sworn enemies!"
With that, she raised her hand to slap me!
I instinctively took a step back.
In the next moment, a long hand grasped her wrist.
The hand was slender and strong, with distinct knuckles.
It was a white suit sleeve!
I looked up.
A tall figure came into view.
The man in the white suit stood behind me.
His face was handsome and fair, with a high nose bridge.
His slightly upturned peach blossom eyes held a hint of coldness.
He tightened his grip on Yue Shan's wrist. "What do you think you're doing?"
Yue Shan was startled. "Who are you?"
The man sneered, "What does it matter who I am to you?"
He lifted his gaze towards me and asked, "Are you okay?"
His voice was familiar.
Just as I was about to respond, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure passing by the door.
I snapped back to reality.
The man before me was Xiao Peng!
My heart tightened.
He had disappeared after saving me last time.
What was he doing here?
I forced my expression to remain neutral. "I'm fine."
Xiao Peng's gaze deepened as he looked at me.
He closed his eyes briefly, suppressing his emotions.
In the next moment, he suddenly turned his attention to Yue Shan, his eyes cold and fierce.
He grabbed her wrist and twisted it forcefully!
There was a sharp crack.
Yue Shan let out a scream!
Xiao Peng sneered, "I told you! I didn't let you take action!"
He paused for a moment. "Especially against Zhou Ya!"
Yue Shan was terrified. "I understand, I understand!"
"Please, just let me go..."
Xiao Peng looked at her coldly. "Then retract the trending topic you bought."
Yue Shan nodded through her tears, "Alright, alright... I'll leave right away!"
Xiao Peng finally released her hand.
Outside the operating room, I stood side by side with Xiao Qiang.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense.
Xiao Qiang looked at me and asked, "Zhou Ya, are you okay?"
I paused for a moment before replying, "I'm fine."
Xiao Qiang sighed, "Your eyes are all red, and you still say you're fine."
"I know you were really upset after breaking up with Xiao Yang."
"But his temper is too impulsive right now."
"Our parents are worried he might get stuck in his own thoughts..."
Before he could finish, I interrupted him.
"Xiao Qiang, it's really over between us."
I closed my eyes briefly, "There’s no way we can get back together."
Xiao Qiang was taken aback for a moment.
He sighed again, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."
