Chapter 215: Chapter 150: A Sisterhood Broken by a Slap

She hung up the phone in a hurry. ’I’ve said everything I need to. The rest is up to her.’

"Alright, alright. I’ll let you get back to it, then."

After hanging up, the more Yan Li thought about it, the more she felt something was off. She quickly threw on some clothes and called Wang Meng.

"Send me the address. I’m going over!"

...

Little Carrot sat in her home, gazing at the moonlight outside. The more she thought, the more upset she became.

’I’m just a minor influencer. What did I do to deserve this?’

’So what if Yan Li is rich?’

’Does being rich mean you can do whatever you want? Does it mean you can treat people with such contempt?’

’I can’t afford the two-million-yuan contract termination fee, but I can pay with my life!’

With that thought, she opened Little Broken Station and found Yan Xici’s account.

Then she sent her a direct message.

TinyTinyXi: Hello. I’m the original poster of that video. I don’t know what kind of game you and your sister are playing, but if you want to get famous, you could’ve just had her spend some money to promote you. There’s no need to use other people as stepping stones.

TinyTinyXi: People like you, who trample all over the fruits of other people’s labor, will get what’s coming to you.

TinyTinyXi: One day, you’ll all be punished!!!!

TinyTinyXi: I’ll be watching you go to hell!

’Now that it’s come to this, Yan Li will never let me off the hook. And there’s no way I can afford a penalty of over two million.’

Unwilling to endure the humiliation, yet utterly trapped,

Little Carrot’s thoughts began to turn extreme.

Yan Xici and Xiao Ran had just gotten home. Before they even had a chance to take off their shoes, her phone buzzed.

She opened it to find a direct message and read the words on the screen.

Yan Xici tensed up.

’What... What is this?’

’What does she mean by this?’

Seeing her pause mid-step as she was taking off her shoes, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong?"

"Look." The girl frantically handed her phone to Xiao Ran. "Something about this feels wrong."

Truth be told, it wasn’t the girl’s misunderstanding that made her nervous, but the tone of the messages.

Her despair was palpable in every single sentence.

It was no exaggeration to say Yan Xici felt her hands and feet go cold.

Xiao Ran was startled too. To be honest, he’d had a feeling things weren’t this simple ever since he first saw the video.

’For a minor influencer to dare to defy her own boss... that’s practically a death wish.’

’She burned her bridges when she posted that video. And now she’s sending messages like this to Yan Xici, especially that last line...’

Xiao Ran frowned, his expression turning grave.

’Oh no. She isn’t thinking of doing something rash, is she?’

’If that’s the case, this whole thing is only going to blow up even more.’

’Besides, to be blunt, this girl is a victim in all this, just like us.’

At this thought, Xiao Ran decisively took the phone and sent a message to the girl using Yan Xici’s account.

ItsXici: Please calm down. This isn’t what you think. We’re all victims here.

TinyTinyXi: You? A victim? You’re famous now! You became a major influencer overnight, and you’re calling yourself a victim?

TinyTinyXi: The only victim here, from start to finish, is me.

TinyTinyXi: Do you know what my dream was? It was to get famous one day through my own hard work. And yet, all my years of effort weren’t enough to get me famous as fast as a single scandal.

Honestly, she was filled with so much resentment.

’My family is just from the countryside. I have no connections, nothing. All to get famous.’

’I was an extra for so many years. To get famous, I was even willing to trade my own body.’

’And what did I get for it?’

’Absolutely nothing!’

’Nothing but people looking down on me, again and again!’

’And now, a single video has destroyed the reputation I worked so hard to build for all these years.’

’The more I think about it, the more disheartened I become.’

’Living is just too hard.’

’If Yan Li won’t let me live in peace, then I’ll drag her down to hell with me, even if it costs me my life!’

Reading her messages, Xiao Ran sighed.

’The girl was clearly hostile toward Yan Xici, too.’

ItsXici: Actually, this isn’t Yan Xici. I’m Xiao Ran, her ex-husband. The person President Yan hates the most.

ItsXici: I need you to believe me. I’m a victim in this, too. That makes us the same.

’Frankly, he didn’t care how they sorted out their drama, but if this mess ended up costing someone their life, things would get a lot more complicated!’

Xiao Ran didn’t want that to happen.

Seeing the new message on her phone, the girl was visibly taken aback.

’The ex-husband?’

She wiped the tears off her phone screen and thought for a long moment before replying: So what? Who’s to say the three of you aren’t in on this together?

’People’s hearts are wicked, and you can never predict what will happen.’

’I’m done trying to figure it out.’

’I’m just venting all my unresolved frustrations before I die.’

’I have no power, no money. There’s nothing I can do.’

ItsXici: Hey, that’s a hurtful thing to say. Do you have any idea the kind of things people are calling me because of you? Is that something I can ever wash away?

ItsXici: And for the record, I was the one who forced Yan Li to take down the video today. I also forced her to issue that apology. I have to be able to live with myself, you know? I had no idea it would hurt you this much.

Xiao Ran truly didn’t think he’d done anything wrong.
