Liu Yan is here too?

Gu Yan’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

This he hadn’t found out about. Since Xiaoxiao said so, it must be true, and the plan could be slightly altered accordingly.

“You mean to say, La Jingzhou will make Pei Yue lose his job? Why?” Ye Xiao couldn’t help but ask.

Gu Yan nodded and said, “Bai Shilan and Ye Bingtong are currently shifting the blame to each other. Bai Shilan will definitely push all faults onto Ye Bingtong, and to clear Bai Shilan’s name, La Jingzhou will do the same. Ye Bingtong and Pei Yue will become La Jingzhou’s primary targets. With just a little guidance, La Jingzhou will naturally make a move against Pei Yue.”

Currently, Pei Yue does not have any significant backing.

Whether it’s Gu Yan or Ye Bolin, either of them could easily make him lose everything.

But.

In his previous life, Pei Yue and La Jingzhou were the most steadfast allies.

In this lifetime, isn’t it better to let these allies destroy each other than for him to do it personally?

Ye Xiao understood in an instant.

She couldn’t help but take a glance at Gu Yan.

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, the older the fox, the more cunning. It’s a wonder how he met such an end in his previous life.]

Gu Yan also felt somewhat depressed upon hearing this.

In his previous life.

No matter what clues he discovered, what measures he took, whatever he did, he just couldn’t change the outcome.

It was as if a giant hand was spinning the wheel of fate, and no matter how off-course things went, they would always return to the set path in the end.

In this life.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Because of Ye Xiao’s arrival, there was finally a chance for change.

He could now truly alter his own fate, as well as the fate of those around him.

“Then next, we just wait for them to fight like dogs,” Ye Xiao said, very satisfied with Gu Yan’s approach, “Uncle Gu, I have faith in you. You can do it!”

She waved her little fist and set off down a different path.

Watching her leave, Gu Yan suddenly called out, “Ye Xiao.”

“Hmm?” Ye Xiao turned to look at him.

Gu Yan smiled and said, “I owe you a favor. If you encounter something that can’t be resolved, no matter what it is, I’ll help you with all my might.”

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow.

She had her system, so she didn’t believe there was anything she would need Gu Yan’s help with.

And she didn’t recall Gu Yan owing her any favor.

Yet she still asked half-smiling, “What if it’s your life that I want?”

“That’s possible,” Gu Yan nodded without hesitation.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

If it weren’t for Ye Xiao, his eventual fate would have been a tragic death.

In this life, with Ye Xiao, at least the fate of the people around him had changed.

Even if it cost him his life, it was only natural.

Ye Xiao was momentarily stunned by his swift response.

Her expression turned somewhat odd, “What do I need your life for!”

With that, Ye Xiao turned and left, but she couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Was there something strange about Gu Yan?

Could it be that he truly liked her?

That seemed unlikely.

Forget it, creatures like old foxes were always inscrutable.

She just needed to know that Gu Yan was a very good ally, and that was enough.

As Ye Xiao diligently studied and improved day by day, the plot continued to unfold.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

La Jingzhou had come to Luo City and met with Li Mingyu in person.

As expected, he and Bai Shilan shifted all the blame onto Ye Bingtong.

As a bigwig of the entertainment circle, La Jingzhou was most skilled at manipulating public opinion.

Before long, rumors had spread throughout the campus that Ye Bingtong, in her desperate greed for a role, had attempted to push an innocent child into the water. Although she didn’t succeed, her actions were universally despised.

Ye Bingtong, not one to suffer in silence, couldn’t help but claim that all of it was Bai Shilan’s doing, accusing her of framing her.

But her protests were quickly suppressed by La Jingzhou’s forceful methods.

It was originally a one-sided compression.

But then Liu Yan took the stage.

She had followed secretly to Luo City, and seeing how La Jingzhou protected Bai Shilan, she decided to make one last effort for her own romantic feelings.

She intended to force Bai Shilan out of the entertainment industry completely. By then, how could La Jingzhou still use work as an excuse to meet Bai Shilan often?

After Liu Yan intervened, Ye Bingtong’s situation did not improve, but Bai Shilan also plummeted with her.

Liu Yan found the nanny who had been fired by Li Mingyu, who held a grudge against Bai Shilan for causing her to lose her job. Now, someone was offering money for a scandal, and she was more than willing to oblige.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The nanny revealed everything that happened that day, and once more repeated the words recited by Chen Yu.

Bai Shilan’s fans didn’t believe it and desperately defended her.

But Ye Bingtong had her own fans, and both sides caused an uproar that couldn’t be quelled.

Both of their fan bases dropped drastically, Li Jingzhou was at his wits’ end trying to salvage Bai Shilan’s reputation, but the truth was the truth, the tide of public opinion had set in, and no matter how he tried to suppress the news, it was no longer containable.

In a fit of rage, Li Jingzhou took ruthless revenge on Pei Yue and Ye Bingtong; Pei Yue lost his job, and the news that Ye Bingtong was driven out by the Ye Family was spread far and wide by Li Jingzhou.

Li Mingyu took the opportunity to negotiate terms with Li Jingzhou.

As long as Li Jingzhou let her go, she would not come forward to hammer Bai Shilan; otherwise, if she and Chen Yu made accusations, Bai Shilan would have no chance of turning the situation around and would be utterly disgraced as a civilian.

The value of a Bai Shilan was actually far less than that of Li Mingyu.

But who asked Bai Shilan to be Li Jingzhou’s darling sweetheart?

In Li Jingzhou’s eyes, Bai Shilan was already being wronged enough; if she had to become a nobody in the future, he didn’t know how heartbroken she would be.

Now, as long as Li Mingyu didn’t stand up against her, Bai Shilan and Ye Bingtong were merely engaged in a war of words; it wasn’t a total defeat, and he still had some room to maneuver.

For Bai Shilan, Li Jingzhou could only painfully let go of Li Mingyu.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Li Mingyu’s contract was terminated ahead of time, and as a result, Huanyu Film and Television naturally wouldn’t invest in her new movie anymore.

But, Li Mingyu’s movie, how could it lack investments?

She quickly announced that she had signed with Xingguang Film and Television, which was originally established for Ye Lin; the only A-list star they had was the Film Emperor, Ye Lin.

The moment Li Mingyu joined, the company immediately became much sought after.

A big director is capable of continuously producing top-tier stars.

The industry mocked that Li Jingzhou let go of a golden goose for the sake of a canary.

Liu Yan finally understood thoroughly.

Li Jingzhou’s love for Bai Shilan was, indeed, genuine.

Then what was she?

Although she liked Li Jingzhou, as the proud daughter of the Liu Family, she wasn’t so lowly as to compete with a canary.

Decisive, Liu Yan didn’t throw a tantrum with Li Jingzhou, she simply returned to Lin City ahead of time and after discussing with her family for a night, the Liu Family prepared to take action to separate themselves from Li Jingzhou’s family entirely.

Liu Yan was the only child of the Liu Family; whoever married Liu Yan would be marrying into the entire Liu Family.

Liu Yan liked Li Jingzhou and initially, Liu Yan’s father was also very pleased with this future son-in-law, hence he spared no effort in introducing his connections to him. But now…

How could he tolerate his precious daughter suffering such humiliation?

Is the daughter of the Liu Family unable to get married? There are plenty of good candidates!

Li Jingzhou was unaware of the changes happening within the Liu Family.

He was holding Bai Shilan, comforting her with a pained expression.

“Shilan, Li Mingyu has already promised me she’ll stay silent, and this will all blow over soon. Is it just the loss of one movie? I will get you better projects.”

With tears in her eyes, Bai Shilan looked at him, “Jingzhou, now, I only have you.”

Li Jingzhou was overwhelmed with pity, making many promises to Bai Shilan.

But the next day, he had matters to attend to and hurried back to Lin City.

Bai Shilan couldn’t help feeling aggrieved.

She had encountered such an event, and Jingzhou just left in a rush, not even staying to accompany her a little longer!

Surely, she wasn’t really in his heart.

Bai Shilan started to scheme.

Ye Bingtong was driven out by the Ye Family, which showed that no one in the Ye Family favored her.

On the contrary, the true heiress was the real darling of the family.

Then, by targeting Ye Bingtong, was she indirectly helping Ye Xiao?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Weren’t she and Ye Xiao natural allies?

Now that Li Mingyu had moved to Xingguang Film and Television, if she could become friends with Ye Xiao, she might still have a chance.

And there was Ye Lin…

His show had wrapped up just yesterday.

He should be visiting home.

At that time,

through Ye Xiao, she could also meet Ye Lin.

Thinking of Ye Lin, Bai Shilan started feeling shy.

Compared to Li Jingzhou’s domineering manner, it was the refined Ye Lin who truly stirred her heart.

As Bai Shilan pondered how to befriend Ye Xiao,

Ye Xiao also received a phone call.

Her estranged second brother was coming home.
