Su Li’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Lan Yinyun.
She didn’t know how Su Li’s mouth could produce such icy words.
But she also didn’t know what other options she had.
She couldn’t really go and be Jin Ke’er’s sandbag like Su Li suggested, could she?
It wasn’t that she was unwilling to go, but if even she collapsed, she didn’t know what she would do.
Lan Yinyun knelt on the ground, her hands tightly gripping Su Li’s leg, her voice trembling as she begged:
“Please help me… Only you can save my mother.”
Her forehead pressed against Su Li’s knee, tears soaking the other’s pant leg.
Thinking of Jin Ke’er’s violent scene, her body couldn’t stop trembling, yet she still clung to Su Li desperately, as if this were her last lifeline.
“If something happens to me, my mother really won’t know what to do.”
“Please, I’m begging you, have mercy.”
“I’ll give you money. When you go see Jin Ke’er, I’ll give you everything left after paying for my mother’s treatment, okay?”
Lan Yinyun thought of Su Li’s love for money.
She realized that when she had begged Su Li earlier, she hadn’t gotten to the main point.
If it was about money, Su Li would definitely agree to her request.
Money was what she loved most.
For money, she would do anything.
She would even trample on her own dignity.
Actually, according to Lan Yinyun’s estimate, if she really brought Su Li over, the payment Jin Ke’er would give her after treating her mother would probably barely have anything left.
That was why she could mention giving Su Li all the money left after her mother’s treatment without any hesitation.
“I’ve already said it.”
“Miss Lan, your mother’s life is in your own hands, not someone else’s.”
“I think Miss Lan should be a filial daughter.”
“Class is about to start. Don’t hold up the other classmates’ studies.”
Su Li spoke coldly, as if giving a dismissal.
Of course, if Lan Yinyun still wanted to stay here, she didn’t mind.
She would just ignore her.
Lan Yinyun had already wasted too much of her time.
And she hadn’t even paid.
Hearing Su Li’s heartless words, Lan Yinyun knew there was no chance today.
Her gaze lingered on Su Li, and seeing the other’s detached, aloof demeanor with no intention of keeping her, a deep resentment surfaced in her eyes.
She was the one who had given Su Li the opportunity to earn money back then.
Now that she had made her money, she was putting up a chastity monument for herself.
What was there to pretend about?
Lan Yinyun didn’t know how she left, walking unsteadily down the hallway.
Her vision was blurry, her ears ringing, Su Li’s cold words still echoing in her mind.
The hallway lights stung her eyes, tears silently streaming down her face.
She moved mechanically, like an empty shell, not even noticing when she bumped into someone.
She didn’t even notice Jin Xueli, who was secretly watching this scene from not too far away.
Jin Xueli was hiding outside, eavesdropping on their conversation, growing more furious with each word.
She didn’t understand how Lan Yinyun could be so shameless.
Trying to use moral coercion on Su Li.
She didn’t know what was wrong with Lan Yinyun’s mother.
She just knew that Lan Yinyun used to be extremely proud, acting like her high education made her something special.
She was clearly a dog raised by the Jin Family.
But she could never be tamed.
She would even refuse some of her sister’s requests.
Thinking of how Lan Yinyun used to find all kinds of beautiful girls from the university and bring them to the Jin Family.
When those girls came out of her sister’s room, they were either disfigured or had their faces ruined.
Beaten until they looked like pig heads, looking utterly miserable.
She couldn’t imagine what would happen if Su Li was brought back to her house by Lan Yinyun.
She would definitely suffer a lot of torment from her sister.
And looking at the current situation, it seemed Su Li had been tormented by her sister before?
That’s why she had a connection with her sister?
She couldn’t help but think of many, many things.
Su Li didn’t seem very wealthy.
If Lan Yinyun offered her enough conditions, maybe she really would be fooled.
She couldn’t imagine what kind of torment Su Li had suffered in her sister’s room.
Or how she had managed to endure it.
She only knew that Su Li had finally managed to get out, but this wretched Lan Yinyun wanted to drag her back into that world again.
It was absolutely infuriating.
She wouldn’t allow something like this to happen.
Whatever money her sister could give Su Li, she could give Su Li too.
She didn’t want Su Li to suffer torment.
She wanted Su Li to be happy.
She could have happily gotten the money without suffering any torment.
But before Jin Xueli could charge into the classroom, she saw Lan Yinyun leaving in a daze.
The other nearly bumped into her.
It was just that Lan Yinyun was walking in such a hurry that she didn’t notice Jin Xueli’s presence nearby.
Looking at Su Li sitting in the classroom with no change in her expression.
She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Su Li hadn’t agreed to Lan Yinyun’s conditions.
Otherwise, her hard-earned progress in getting close to Su Li’s circle would have been completely ruined by Lan Yinyun.
Good, good.
She didn’t go into the classroom.
She just needed to hide outside in the hallway, secretly watching Su Li.
Seeing Su Li reading her book seriously, Jin Xueli was very happy.
She had to prevent Su Li from falling into her sister’s claws.
…
MOKA nervously looked at her video message.
But for some reason, her video was quickly taken down.
Just as MOKA was feeling confused, suddenly many similar videos appeared.
“You may not have heard my name, but you must have heard the songs I wrote.”
Seeing that within moments, many such videos appeared on the internet.
MOKA felt extremely frustrated and confused.
She didn’t understand why her video, which she had posted first, was taken down while others were fine.
Actually, having it taken down wasn’t a big deal, it was just…
She wanted Su Li to hear the song she had written.
MOKA picked up her cell phone and looked at it again and again, still not seeing any message proactively sent by Su Li.
Had Su Li not seen it?
MOKA thought this with some regret.
And not long after, her phone buzzed with a message notification.
MOKA stared at the notice about the company canceling the variety show, her face instantly turning pale.
She flipped through the email repeatedly, her fingers trembling as she dialed her agent’s number:
“Why? I was clearly ready…”
The other side was evasive, only saying it was a “high-level decision.”
MOKA collapsed onto the recording studio floor, staring at the stack of papers she had prepared, planning to do some serious songwriting when Su Li arrived.
But at this moment, she suddenly lost that mood.
MOKA suddenly realized—those “similar videos” that appeared out of nowhere, those works that had been taken down, were all like a carefully woven net, trapping her in an invisible cage.
She had been set up.
