“Madam Zhuang, Madam Zhuang you can’t be like this, you were the one who encouraged me to do that. Why is it that you can get away with it unscathed?” Yao Xin gritted her teeth and slowly got up from the ground. Glaring at Zhuang Lijuan with a menacing expression, she said, “I’ve recorded all our previous conversations, Madam Zhuang. If you can’t guarantee that I can escape all responsibility, I’ll have no choice but to expose our conversations.”
Zhuang Lijuan glared at her with a sinister gaze. ‘How dare this damned girl threaten me?’
“The only way you can get out of this scot-free is to leave the entertainment industry for good and go abroad to start afresh. Your disdainful past will forever stay on the Internet, don’t think that you can make a comeback.”
‘Quit the entertainment industry?’
Yao Xin was rather agitated. “Impossible, I will never quit the entertainment industry. It wasn’t easy for me to get this far and become so famous in this industry.’
‘Famous?’
Zhuang Lijuan sneered. “Your reputation has been tarnished and you’re infamous now. I only have one solution for you, and that is to leave the entertainment industry and this city for good.”
Yao Xin left with a gloomy expression.
Only then did Zhuang Lijuan pull out her cell phone to make a call to someone. “Help me get something done…”

Although her journey to stardom was full of ups and downs and she had been repeatedly harmed by Yao Xin, Yan Jinyi’s popularity rose rapidly and she had become one of the most famous actresses att the moment.
She mostly received praises for her happy-go-lucky, candid personality and straightforwardness that was similar to that of a female bandit.
The Huo siblings sat side by side, staring at Yan Jinyi who was clinging onto Shen Yan.
They agreed that Yan Jinyi was like a female bandit but they didn’t think that she was a happy-go-lucky person.
“Didn’t you guys say that Grandpa is coming home today? Why haven’t I seen him yet?” Yan Jinyi was getting impatient from all the waiting.
“He’s probably choosing some gifts. Grandpa would bring each of us a huge gift when he comes home for the New Year each year.”
‘Gifts? What gifts?’
Yan Jinyi’s eyes instantly glistened. “Shen Yan, what did Grandpa give you last year?”
Shen Yan rolled up her sleeve to reveal the jade bangle she was wearing on her wrist. It was shiny, exquisite, and obviously exorbitant. “This is a gift from Grandpa.”
‘A jade bangle?’
Jade bangles of superior quality could fetch as much as millions of yuan each. Given how rich Huo Xian was, Yan Jinyi was certain that he wouldn’t have bought something cheap.
Yan Jinyi looked at Huo Zihang and Huo Qingyuan. “What gifts did you receive last year?”
“Grandpa gave me a sports car. It was my favorite model,” Huo Zihang said with some smugness.
“Second Sister-in-law, Grandpa gave me a seaside villa that offers an incredible view. I’ll take you there when I have the time to do so!”
‘Sports car?’
‘Villa?’
Yan Jinyi was looking forward to her gift more and more.
After waiting for a long time, she finally saw Huo Xian.
Yan Jinyi stood up and scurried over to hold Huo Xian with a sweet smile on her face. “Grandpa, it must have been a tiring journey for you. I’ve already poured you some hot tea, take a rest first.”
Everyone in the room stared at Yan Jinyi in confusion.
Huo Xishen smiled heartily. “As expected of Xi Shen’s wife, you’re so sensible.”
Huo Xian took his seat and first asked about his grandchildren out of concern. He then instructed Zhang Guoquan to bring his suitcase over.
“The New Year is around the corner, so let’s distribute the gifts today.”
Hearing his words, Yan Jinyi stared at the black suitcase with dazzling eyes.
Huo Zihang first took out a car key and handed it directly to Huo Zihang. “I know you’re a fan of cars. I managed to get you the latest Maybach through a friend, it’s really nice.”
Huo Zihang took the car key and praised Huo Xian fawningly.
‘Yet another luxurious car! The latest Maybach must cost a bomb.’
Yan Jinyi was truly envious.
