At the entrance of Supper Street, Yun Xi glanced at Lu Zheng, who had come to pick up Qi Yichen. Then, as if he had seen his savior, he waved his hand and quickly walked to his car. Without so much as a proper goodbye, he fled the scene as though he was afraid a ghost might come chasing after him.

Qi Yichen snorted softly, turned around, and got into Lu Zheng’s car. The car sped past Yun Xi’s car with a deafening roar, giving the false impression that the two of them were a couple that had just broken up and parted ways.

Lu Zheng glanced at the man in the rearview mirror, who was clearly in a good mood. “Boss, I have a copy of the surveillance video of the villa. What would you like to do with it?”

“I don’t know where that girl gets her confidence to cause such a huge scandal. Doesn’t it worry her that Yun Yuanfeng might sell her off if she fails to clean up the mess?”

“Knowing Yun Yuanfeng’s character, I’m guessing she’s used to it by now? However, she doesn’t look unprepared. The position that Yun Yuanfeng is currently holding is a slice of hot cake. Everyone is just dying to drag him down so that they can take his place. After all, the general election is just around the corner. If he wants to keep his position at a time like this, he would have no other choice but to have that girl seek help from Young Commander Mu.”

!!

“From the looks of it, that girl isn’t the type to seek out others for help.” Qi Yichen chuckled. “And since we can’t see what she has up her sleeves, we might as well add a little fuel to the fire.”

“What do you mean by that, Boss?”

“Forward the video to all the major media companies around. With such an exciting piece of news involving the First-Class Socialite and Young Commander Mu, the paparazzi will certainly not let this go unnoticed. So let them focus all their attention on Yun Yuanfeng.”

“But that would leave the girl cornered!”

“It’s not such a bad thing to have her cornered. However, without Mu Feichi around, I think it’d be quite interesting to have her come to me! I, for one, have never seen what she looks like when she begs for help!”

“…” Young Master, that isn’t going to get you any girls!

Were you not a bachelor by choice?

It was already midnight by the time Yun Xi had gone home after dawdling about. Since the Yun family had made such a fool of themselves, the news must have gotten around the entire neighborhood by then.

What probably saddened Yun Yuanfeng the most was not that he had spent all that money on a failed wedding, but the loss of his glorious pride. Not only did it cost him a wife and a son, but it also cost him his future.

Back at the villa, not only did he knock a pregnant woman down a flight of stairs in front of so many watching eyes, but he also beat the life out of a six-month-old fetus. Although it had not yet made its way into the world, it was still a life. Once morning comes and everyone returns to the office, there are bound to be people who find his behavior unacceptable and will report him anonymously.

Even if Yun Yuanfeng wanted to explain himself, he probably would not be able to justify himself right now because Yun Xi had already sent someone to leak out the miserable state of the hospitalized Lin Shuhua. And sure enough, Yun Xi received news on her way home that Yun Yuanfeng’s opportunity for fieldwork in another province the next day had been revoked. So he was currently waiting at home to be interrogated.

As soon as she walked through the door, she saw Yun Yuanfeng sitting on the couch with a gloomy expression on his face. He was probably waiting for her to come home, and he had not gone to bed even though it was already midnight. Typically, everyone would have been asleep and in bed by then, yet the poor Yun Yuanfeng stayed up for hours waiting in the living room.

As soon as he saw that Yun Xi had returned home, Yun Yuanfeng leaped up from the couch as if he had a surge of adrenaline. Yun Yuanfeng rushed over quickly, and his face, which suddenly seemed to have aged overnight, was filled with undisguised anxiety and helplessness. “Yun Xi, what now?!”

“What do you mean, what now?” Playing dumb, Yun Xi glanced at Yun Yuanfeng with a blank expression on her face. In all her two lifetimes, she never thought that she would live to see Yun Yuanfeng in such a depressed and humiliated state. In her previous life, he had thoroughly used her to his own benefit time and time again. But, in this life, it was her turn to have her sweet revenge!
