Chapter 183: Chapter 141: It’s Not Too Late to Regret Now

’He’s always been the one to protect himself, in his own way!’

’Well, this time, I’ll be the one to protect him!’

"Don’t worry. If my sister really did this, I’ll make her delete all the videos and then apologize to you!"

Xu Cheng and Zhang Chuan, standing nearby, were both stunned by their conversation. The expressions on their faces were incredibly complicated.

’Holy cow, so it really was Yan Li who did it!’

’That woman is truly vicious. This is going to be a full-blown catfight between sisters.’

Xu Cheng walked up to Xiao Ran with a serious expression and patted his shoulder.

"If you need anything, just say the word. Chuanzi and I will definitely help, no questions asked."

He didn’t know what he should do right now either.

But as long as Xiao Ran needed him, he would stand by his side without a second thought.

Zhang Chuan hurried over too. "Yeah, Chengzi is right! No matter how big of a deal this is, you still have us. If worse comes to worst, we’ll help you record a clarification video!"

Seeing the earnest looks in his two buddies’ eyes, Xiao Ran smiled. "Listen to you guys. You make it sound like I’m facing some kind of catastrophic disaster!"

’It’s really not easy to clarify something when you have no popularity, no connections, and no fan base. The only way is to expose myself.’

’But for now, I don’t think it’s reached the point where I need to do that. I don’t want too many people knowing about my personal life.’

’It would be best to resolve this peacefully. It’s not that I’m a coward, but I’m doing it for Yan Xici and her relationship with her sister.’

’As long as she deletes the videos and has those content creators post an apology video saying they made it all up...’

’...then I can let this matter go.’

’I’ll consider it a favor to the Yan Family. Hopefully, she won’t make things difficult for me and Yan Xici anymore.’

’But if she’s stubborn and refuses to change, then she can’t blame me for not holding back.’

’I, Xiao Ran, am not a pushover!’

"Why don’t you all just stay here at my farm stay for the next couple of days? Safety first!" Xu Cheng said earnestly.

After all, the internet these days was terrifying.

A while ago, a kindhearted delivery driver spent an extra two hours driving in the rain to deliver medicine to a customer’s elderly family member.

The customer gave him a fifty-yuan tip. It was a perfectly consensual transaction, but the netizens wouldn’t let it go.

They said the customer didn’t care about the driver’s hard work, implying the tip was too small.

They harassed the customer to the point that he almost committed suicide!

Let alone a situation like Xiao Ran’s. People might actually go to Jiaotong University to humiliate him in person!

At that point, not only would his reputation be ruined, but he would also lose his job!

Hearing this, Xiao Ran smiled. "It’s fine. It’s not that serious. Don’t worry!"

Zhang Chuan sighed. "Well, I drove here. I can give you guys a ride back."

"Alright, let’s go then."

After something like this happened, no one was in the mood for lunch anymore.

After saying goodbye to Xu Cheng, the three of them got in the car and headed back toward the city center.

...

At that moment, Yang Mi was staring at the new novel, which hadn’t been updated with a single new Chapter, a displeased expression on her face. ’What’s with this author?’

’I even tipped him two Alliances last night. Is he really unable to post an update?’

’Even if he can’t manage a full update, he could at least write one Chapter on the fly, right? So insincere!’

While she was still spacing out, her assistant, who was scrolling through TikTok, looked as if she had discovered some earth-shattering secret and shoved her phone in front of Yang Mi.

"Sister Mi, look! This... this is about Xiao Ran, the author of our screenplay, right? Look, they even exposed his workplace!"

Hearing this, Yang Mi took the phone and looked at the contents carefully, her face a mask of surprise.

"It really is him!"

After speaking, she couldn’t help but think back. The last time he asked her for an autograph, he seemed to have said he was getting it for his younger sister.

’In that case, the "younger sister" he mentioned... couldn’t be his sister-in-law, could it?’

At this thought, she covered her mouth in shock, her face filled with utter disbelief.

’This is too juicy!’

As everyone knew, Sister Mi was the undisputed gossip queen of the celebrity world.

There was no gossip she wouldn’t indulge in, and no inside story she didn’t know.

She scrambled to her feet, phone in hand, and went to find Director Zhang to show him. This was just too exciting!!!
