After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 843: The Big Bosses You Provoked, Each More Ruthless Than the Other (2)

Jiang Changning let out a soft exclamation, puzzled, “I’m telling the truth. It was picked from the field, but my mom picked it for me. She said she likes you a lot and wanted me to bring you something nice.”

But no matter how nice it is, isn’t it still from the field?

Jiang Changning didn’t think much of it.

Su Yang fell silent.

He recalled the day he stayed at Jiang Changning’s house.

“Ladies and gentlemen, let’s drink to this rare occasion,” LI Yuzhi said, raising his glass. “This is Daughter’s Red (1) from forty years ago, everyone should have a taste. Miss Si, please.”

Before Si Fuqing could take the glass, a slender hand intercepted it.

“She shouldn’t drink,” Yu Xiheng said without much emotions in his tone. “I’ll drink it for her.”

Si Fuqing was speechless.

She hadn’t even tried Daughter’s Red before!

The despicable Black-hearted Monster!

This remark drew everyone’s attention in the room.

Mu Qingmeng looked thoughtful.

Lu Xingci scrutinized Yu Xiheng from head to toe with a serious expression, “Big brother, why does he seem familiar?”

“Don’t call me brother.” Lu Xingheng put on his sunglasses, distancing himself, “Your big sister is sitting over there.”

“Sigh, with your attitude, it’ll be a miracle if Miss Yu likes you,” Lu Xingci sighed. “I heard you killed her countless times the first time you played together? No EQ at all. Want me to teach you?”

Lu Xingheng smiled, “Get lost.”

“Shiyan, you’re being too strict,” LI Yuzhi chuckled. “It’s just a glass of wine. Being this strict won’t be good in the long run.”

Su Yang, clearly reminded of unpleasant memories, rubbed his temples, “Dad, my sister really can’t drink.”

She gets drunk even on fruit wine, let alone a glass of Daughter’s Red.

“Alcohol allergy?” LI Yuzhi understood, “Then no wine. Miss Si, have some juice instead.”

Si Fuqing could only drink juice.

“There are too many people here,” Yu Xiheng whispered so only she could hear, “We have some at home. You can drink it next month.”

Si Fuqing picked up her chopsticks, “Alright.”

They continued the meal until half past midnight.

Yu Xiheng politely declined LI Yuzhi’s offer to let them stay overnight and took Si Fuqing home himself.

Sang Yanqing followed the van back to the studio.

On the way, her phone rang, and she answered the call.

“Hello?” Sang Yanqing answered, “Yes, this is she. And you are?”

After listening for a moment, her expression turned serious, “Alright, I understand. Thank you. We will take this matter seriously.”

With Sang Yanqing’s response, the paparazzi leader finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He ended the call, feeling like he had just narrowly escaped death.

“Boss, why did you give the scoop to Si Fuqing’s team?” the junior paparazzo was anxious, “This is big news. Even if it’s fake, it could still stir up a lot of buzz.”

Their KPIs would be met!

“Fool!” The leader slapped the junior, “Do you know the kind of people attending LI family’s banquet? No sane person would act like this in front of the banquet hall. Bai Jinxi has no brains, do you also lack brains?”

“If we leaked this, they would immediately present evidence, and we’d be in big trouble! Even LI Yanchen was sent to the police station. Do you think we could escape?”

The junior paparazzo snapped out of it, his heart racing, “Good thing you’re wise, boss. But why be so friendly with Si Fuqing’s team?”

“You don’t get it, do you? By doing them a favor now, they’ll come to us first if they ever want to leak anything in the future.” The leader was smug, “This is called foresight. Learn from it!”

The junior paparazzo was in awe, “Boss, you’re amazing!”

“Of course,” the leader said proudly, “We’re the top-tier paparazzi, unmatched by others.”

On Sang Yanqing’s side.

She frowned as she looked at the photos the paparazzi leader had sent her.

She had to admit, the photos were skillfully taken.

If they were posted online, they would definitely spark a scandalous drama among netizens.

Sang Yanqing knew that the LI family had secretly invited even more prominent guests.

She couldn’t make a decision on this matter, so she immediately headed back to Yu Xiheng’s villa.

“Is Qingqing asleep?” Sang Yanqing paused, quickly understanding, “Mr. Yu, here’s the situation.”

She showed Yu Xiheng the photos sent by the paparazzi leader.

Yu Xiheng glanced at them, his expression unreadable, “Interesting.”

Feng San’s legs were trembling slightly.

“The Thousand Army Alliance should handle this,” Yu Xiheng said calmly, “Go.”

Feng San took the photos and went to find Shang Lu.

Shang Lu was playing a drinking game with Xi Jiang.

When he saw the photos and the accompanying description, he broke out in a cold sweat, instantly sobering up, “Is this person seeking death?”

Anyone in these photos could shake the entire city of Sijiu.

Capturing three in one shot, truly impressive.

“This concerns the reputations of the Alliance Leader, the Lady, and Miss Si. I will report this to Captain JIANG,” Shang Lu wiped his sweat, “Whoever did this is doomed!”

He also wanted to know who had the audacity to provoke the Thousand Army Alliance.

The next day.

Bai Jinxi had a rare good night’s sleep.

Just thinking about Si Fuqing soon being disgraced in the entertainment industry, turning into a hated figure, made her feel ecstatic.

Waking up early, Bai Jinxi quickly washed up and opened her phone.

To her disappointment, the trending topics related to Si Fuqing were all about TV shows and variety programs.

Real-time searches were flooded with fans admiring her beauty.

Why wasn’t it there?

Hadn’t the media released the news?

Impossible, it was such big news.

Bai Jinxi pursed her lips, preparing to go out and check.

As soon as she reached the hotel lobby, a hand stopped her.

Bai Jinxi was annoyed, but upon seeing the owner’s face, she froze.

“Miss Bai, right?” JIANG Shuihan glanced at her, smiling slightly, “Our Lady would like to see you.”

Bai Jinxi’s heart skipped a beat, and she grew cautious, “Who is your Lady? Someone from the LI family? What do you want?”

“Miss Bai took a certain photo,” JIANG Shuihan smiled slightly, “This photo was sent to our Lady. She wishes to ask you some questions. It has nothing to do with the LI family, so there’s no need to worry.”

Bai Jinxi relaxed a bit, “Alright, I’ll go with you.”

She realized she had been too anxious.

Guests at the LI family banquet were all prominent figures in Sijiu.

Such scandals would naturally be handled privately, not exposed publicly. Otherwise, they’d lose face.

No wonder the news about Si Fuqing’s involvement in other people’s relationship hadn’t broken out yet.

But now that the wife knew, Si Fuqing was done for!

JIANG Shuihan gestured, “Miss Bai, please.”

After getting in the car, Bai Jinxi casually played with her hair, “Your Lady’s presence is unparalleled.”

JIANG Shuihan, sitting in the front passenger seat, ignored her.

Bai Jinxi felt awkward and snorted, stopping her attempts to flatter.

What’s the use of good looks if you’re just a servant?

The car twisted and turned, finally entering a narrow path.

The path was dark and deserted.

Bai Jinxi felt the oppressive atmosphere and her face paled, “What kind of wealthy family lives here? Are you human traffickers?”

If not for JIANG Shuihan’s distinguished appearance and luxurious attire, she wouldn’t have followed.

Why did she get in the car?

The car passed through the narrow path and stopped in front of a grand building.

Uniformed guards stood on both sides.

“I’m not part of a wealthy family, but the Lady is,” JIANG Shuihan said calmly, “We’ve arrived. Miss Bai, please get out. The Lady has been waiting for a while.”
