There's a bonus in Chapter 56.
"What are you saying!" Cai Qinglian became agitated as soon as she heard the words "selling her daughter." "How can you call it selling your daughter? You're so old and still not married. As your parents, isn't it our duty to worry about your marriage?"

Hearing her words, Su Miaoyi laughed: "Whether I live or die, you don't care. Oh, no, you wish I were dead. Now you're worried about my marriage. Don't you find what you're saying ridiculous?"

Ji Sheng stood to the side with a dark expression.

Su Miaoyi looked at them and said, "I will make my own decisions, you don't need to worry about me. From the moment I was born, I was a calamity for the Ji family. Don't have any more contact with them in the future, so that if anything happens to the Ji family, they won't say that I brought them bad luck."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and entered the residential area.

Cai Qinglian tried to stop her, but Ji Sheng held her back.

Su Miaoyi entered the residential compound by scanning her face.

Cai Qinglian looked at Ji Sheng: "Why didn't you let me stop her? They specifically asked to see her by name."

"What good would it do to stop her?" Ji Sheng glanced at her. "Are you going to start a fight with her here? Pulling and shoving each other in public, aren't you ashamed?"

Cai Qinglian fell silent.

Ji Sheng turned around and went back to the car, and Cai Qinglian followed him in.

Seeing that Ji Sheng got into the car but didn't drive, she asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you leaving?"

Ji Sheng took a deep breath, held back for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back: "What did I tell you when we came? Don't get into conflict, talk nicely, how come you can't remember anything?"

Cai Qinglian looked at him and said, "How am I not speaking properly? How am I supposed to speak properly? Do you expect me to kneel down before her?"

"Can you even speak properly?" Ji Sheng said. "Do you talk to Jia Bao like this at home?"

“Is she Garbo? What makes her think she can compare to Garbo?” Cai Qinglian shouted.

Ji Sheng sighed: "How can I explain it to you so that you can understand the Ji family's current situation? Do you know how much the Ji family needs this money right now? For the past few months, I've begged and pleaded, and this is the only family willing to lend us a hand. The Ji family's entire hope rests on this, do you understand?"

Cai Qinglian frowned.

Ji Sheng said, "They only have one condition: to see Su Miaoyi."

"I just don't understand, why did I have to see her? Why her of all people?" Cai Qinglian's tone was full of resentment.

Ji Sheng sighed again: "The eldest son of the Jiang family had a fever when he was a child, which damaged his brain. For so many years, no one has married into the family. The Jiang family probably wants to find a companion for their eldest son so that they can take care of him."

Hearing his words, Cai Qinglian fell silent.

Ji Sheng frowned again and said, "Can't you even pretend? Let me tell you the truth, if we can't get on the good side of the Jiang family, the Ji family will immediately go downhill. Not only will you not be able to buy any of your bags, jewelry, clothes, and your son's things, but you'll have to sell them all to fill the company's hole. At that time, do you think you'll still be Mrs. Ji?"

"How could things have gotten like this?" Cai Qinglian was shocked.

"What are you yelling about?" Ji Sheng glanced at her. "Your brother and nephew are both in jail, the Cai family has fallen, and the company is riddled with problems. The Ji family and the Cai family are also one entity. Do you think we can be any better off?"

Cai Qinglian frowned: "It's all Su Miaoyi's fault."

"Everything is pinned on her now, so even if you're just pretending, you have to make it work," Ji Sheng said.

Cai Qinglian glanced at him, feeling angry, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Su Miaoyi returned to her residence.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, looking at my hair.

After standing there for a while, she started to fidget with her hair, trying to find a nice style.

But no matter how you peel it, it still looks ugly.

"So ugly."

Two words suddenly popped into Su Miaoyi's mind.

She widened her eyes: "Who's ugly? I'm stunningly beautiful."

There was complete silence all around and in my mind.

"Have you ever heard the saying, 'There is a beauty in the north, whose beauty could topple kingdoms and cities'?" Su Miaoyi looked at her face and smiled. "That's me." After saying this, she looked at her hair, and a few seconds later, she covered her mouth.

I almost made myself vomit from how ugly I looked.

"Useless." The voice in my head said those two words again.

Su Miaoyi immediately exploded, hands on her hips: "Calling me ugly is one thing, it's a fact, I won't argue with you. But you're fabricating facts, and I can't tolerate that. How have I become a coward!"

"If you can't tolerate it, what can you do?" the voice in my head asked.

"Me!" Su Miaoyi thought for a moment and realized that she couldn't really do anything to her.

A voice inside his head scoffed, "Giving him money for a haircut like that is pathetic."

Su Miaoyi looked at herself, paused, and said, "Why didn't you come out when I gave you the money? You're a coward too."

The voice in my head stopped speaking.

"Go on, why did you stop? Keep talking." Su Miaoyi looked at herself in the mirror with a smug expression.

Then her right hand suddenly rose uncontrollably and flicked her forehead.

"Ah! How dare you!" Su Miaoyi finished playing the piano and then covered her forehead.

"Trim your hair yourself." After saying this, the voice in my head stopped talking.

Su Miaoyi took scissors, sat cross-legged on the floor, searched for tutorials on her phone, and then trimmed her own hair.

Three days later, Su Miaoyi met Zhuang Yanzheng.

Zhuang Yanzheng finished his work and could finally go home to sleep.

I met up with Su Miaoyi on my way home.

Su Miaoyi received a call from him saying he had something for her, so she went outside the residential area.

Zhuang Yanzheng's car was parked outside.

She got straight into the car: "What's the matter?"

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her hair: "You got a haircut? You look pretty cool."

Su Miaoyi nodded in satisfaction at his praise.

She got a makeover; although it's shorter, it still has the mullet look, and she looks even cooler.

Zhuang Yanzheng handed her a few forms: "Fill in your bank card number and then sign them."

Su Miaoyi flipped through a few forms and then looked at Zhuang Yanzheng.

"The bonus application for the case you participated in has been approved. After you fill it out, it should be credited to your account tomorrow or the day after," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Su Miaoyi glanced at the forms again, unable to suppress a smile: "There's still money to be made."

Zhuang Yanzheng glanced at her and chuckled, "Of course. How can we let the masses do so much work for nothing?"

Su Miaoyi filled in her bank card number, signed her name, and then handed the form to him: "How's the case going?"

Xia Yan's case was quickly resolved.

However, there are still many aspects of Lu Jing's case that need to be investigated.

"There's no new progress. We checked the old neighborhoods in the suburbs, but found nothing," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "We also matched the portrait with the system, but there were no results, since it only shows a pair of eyes. We also took the portrait to the old neighborhoods and asked around, but they all said they'd never seen it before."

Su Miaoyi nodded without saying anything.

That man was much more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
