This photo had made An Yuan so flustered that she had no choice but to put everything else aside. She was not in the mood to work at all.
She said with a bitter smile. “We’ll see.”
“Are you sure it’s not a serious illness?”
“No, I can take good care of myself. Don’t worry!” An Yuan suddenly realized that this conversation seemed a little intimate, so she quickly stopped and did not continue.
Su Shengjing could tell that An Yuan had something difficult to say, so he did not press on. Instead, he said, “If there’s really something, just tell me. Perhaps, I can think of a way to help you. You don’t have to bear it alone.”
When An Yuan heard this, her heart suddenly warmed.
Other than her parents and best friends, almost no one had told her this, not even Xue Zhen, who had known her for many years. But how could she tell them about this?
An Yuan did not believe it herself. She could not accept it!
She sincerely said to Su Shengjing, “Yes, thank you!”
After ending the call, Su Shengjing looked at his cell phone and frowned. The little girl on the sofa immediately asked, “Daddy, Daddy, what did Big Sister say just now?”
“She said she was just having a cold and told us not to worry.”
“It’s not a cold!” The little girl pouted. “Big Sister must be in trouble, but she’s not telling us.”
Su Shengjing helplessly smiled. “Then there’s nothing we can do. Daddy can’t force her to tell us, right?”
The little girl let out a long sigh. Su Shengjing could not help but laugh. He pinched her face again. “Little kid, don’t think too much. Come, have breakfast with Daddy.”

On the other side, An Yuan was still looking at her phone after hanging up the call. When she thought about what Su Jiu and Su Shengjing had said, she felt even more uncomfortable and uneasy.
If news of her photo were to spread, not only would she not be able to live in the circle, but she would also be too ashamed to see the father and daughter again. Especially the little girl, who always sweetly called her pretty sister and an angel. If the little girl saw the photo, she would probably be very disappointed.
Even if she really didn’t know where the photo came from.
An Yuan realized she had to make things clear. She could not let others manipulate her like this. She did not want to disappoint those who cared about her!
Her gaze became determined, and she forced herself to pull herself together. Just as she was about to call Xue Zhen and look for her number in her contact list, Xue Zhen called her instead.
An Yuan’s face darkened, and she picked up the call. Xue Zhen’s malicious voice came from the other end. “How is it? Have you considered the matter? Do you want to renew the contract with me?”
An Yuan did not answer. Instead, she coldly asked, “How did you get this photo?”
Xue Zhen laughed. “I took it, of course! How else could I get it?”
“I’m asking how you got there? When did you take the picture?”
“Well, it was a long time ago. It must’ve been a few years ago. But don’t you know what you’ve done?” Xue Zhen said deliberately.
An Yuan’s expression darkened. “Just tell me what you know. You don’t have to keep me guessing.”
“There’s no point in telling you. You just need to know that the photos in my hands are real. It won’t do you any good if they get leaked. As long as you’re willing to renew your contract with me, I can let you continue to be a big star. Otherwise, you’ll leave me no choice. Of course, if you renew your contract, you can’t just re-sign the original contract. You’ll have to sign a new one,” Xue Zhen said, pushing her luck.
