Chapter 214: Chapter 150: Sisterly Bond Broken by a Slap

Yan Li was stunned. "What do you mean by that?"

But she didn’t get an answer from Qiu Yuru, only the busy signal on the other end.

Xiao Shengrong stood outside the door, watching his wife’s back, and couldn’t help but be taken aback.

’Damn, that’s my wife for you. How did she sound so commanding just now?’

Qiu Yuru turned around and saw Xiao Shengrong standing outside the door, a shocked look on his face. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him. "Why are you eavesdropping?"

Xiao Shengrong swallowed. "What are you talking about? I just came here to sleep. Who’s eavesdropping?"

As he spoke, he walked toward the bed and added, "But I really didn’t expect you to actually call Yan Li. And you were so harsh. She was your daughter-in-law, after all. You really went straight for the jugular."

’Scolding her to blow off some steam is one thing, but this... you’re playing for keeps.’

Qiu Yuru sneered. "Then you truly underestimate a mother’s determination to protect her child."

If Yan Li had done this to her, she could have let it go. ’She’s just a kid, after all; she doesn’t know any better.’

But bullying her son? That meant she had to be taught a lesson.

She had risked her life for her son. If anyone so much as laid a finger on him, she would bankrupt her entire family just to make them suffer!

Listening to the drone of the busy signal, Yan Li seethed with indignation.

’What was that supposed to mean? Was she planning to crush me completely?’

She had never been threatened so openly before!

She was grinding her teeth, but there was absolutely nothing she could do about it.

Fighting back a headache, she kicked off her high heels, returned to the bedroom, and tossed her phone onto the soft, large bed.

...

By now, Wang Meng had seen the video Little Carrot posted. It had only been up for about ten minutes, but the comments section had already blown up.

The view count had already surpassed 100,000.

Wang Meng sucked in a sharp breath and quickly called Little Carrot.

Unfortunately, the girl didn’t pick up a single call.

Sensing that things were getting out of hand, she hurriedly contacted Little Carrot’s manager for an address.

Then, without a second thought, she left the house, driving toward Little Carrot’s home while calling a contact at the video platform’s support staff.

She hoped they could take the video down immediately. At the very least, they had to restrict its reach and stop promoting it.

However, what she hadn’t expected was that, for some reason, her contact there wasn’t picking up her calls either.

This whole thing gave Wang Meng a headache; she felt she had completely lost control of the situation.

Her only option was to call Yan Li.

Yan Li was in the middle of getting undressed when her phone rang. She assumed it was Qiu Yuru calling with another warning.

Right now, she just wanted some peace and quiet, so she didn’t even glance at the phone.

Only when Wang Meng called for the third time did she impatiently pick up.

"What is it?"

"This is bad, President Yan! That Little Carrot, she posted a video! She’s saying that everything she did to defame Xiao Ran was on your orders, and she also said the company uses people and then casts them aside!"

Wang Meng’s voice trembled with anxiety as she spoke.

Yan Li felt a sudden, sharp pain in her head. She dug her fingers into her scalp and tugged hard.

’Is she an idiot? Do I have to teach her how to handle something like this?’

"Get someone to take that video down!"

’One damn thing after another today. When will it ever end?’

She refused to believe that a mere internet celebrity could stir up any real trouble.

"I can’t get in touch with anyone over there!"

Wang Meng was practically dying of anxiety.

Yan Li felt her scalp tingle with dread.

"What?"

’I can always get in touch with them. Why not today?’

Wang Meng continued her report. "I... I’m already on my way to Little Carrot’s house, but I can’t guarantee she’ll be home."

’I’ve already tried every solution I can think of.’

The scandal was blowing up right now. If Yan Li’s involvement was exposed at this moment, Yunya Company would definitely be dragged down with her.

After all, spreading rumors to attack someone was a matter of character.

The company’s stock price could even fall!

Yan Li never would have dreamed that this girl, who seemed to have no backbone at all, would have such audacity.

"You... you call that Director Ma." After saying it, she felt it wasn’t right. "Forget it, I’ll call him. You go to her house now. You have to make her delete that video today!"

It was no exaggeration to say that Yan Li felt like her head was about to explode.

After hanging up, she immediately called Director Ma. "Hello, Director Ma. Um, that... that girl you introduced to me last time, do you remember her?"

Hearing this, the other end of the line went silent for a moment. "Which one are you talking about?"

To be honest, for people like them, many relationships were purely transactional. After a while, he had long since forgotten.

In fact, this was the main reason Yan Li had always been unwilling to let Yan Xici become an internet celebrity.

"It’s... it’s that one... her name is... Feng, Feng something."

Yan Li thought hard for a long time but still couldn’t remember Little Carrot’s real name.

After all, they were all used to calling influencers by their screen names.

"Oh, you mean Feng Xixi, right? I don’t even have her contact information anymore. That was ages ago." Director Ma’s hearty laughter came through the phone.

Hearing this, Yan Li frowned. "Well, do you know any of her good friends or anyone like that?"

’No matter what, I have to find that girl today!’

Director Ma just laughed. "How would I know that? Our relationship... well, you understand, President Yan."

Yan Li wanted to say more, but then she heard him say hurriedly from the other end, "President Yan, let’s leave it at that. It’s getting late."
