When he brought Gao Xiang downstairs, he saw Jian He holding Han Xiao down with one hand and grabbing Wu Hua's hair with the other, restraining the two in a very inelegant manner.

This scene instantly made Gao Xiang burst into laughter.

Cheng Yan turned around, glared at him fiercely, and then rushed to Jian He's side.

When he saw that Jian He's wrist wound was still dripping blood, his handsome face turned ashen.

He said to Jian He, "It's okay, you're injured... Come on, I'll take you to get your wound bandaged."

Since Cheng Yan had arrived, Jian He naturally couldn't act violently in front of him. She released Han Xiao and Wu Hua and followed Cheng Yan to leave.

Han Xiao suffered a loss; Jian He even slapped him so hard his face was swollen.

She roared at Jian He indignantly, "You bitch, you dare hit me, I'll never forgive you..."

"You wait, I will make your Jian Group pay the price..."

When Cheng Yan heard Han Xiao's roar, his expression clearly showed some displeasure.

He turned around and gave Han Xiao, who had completely lost her composure, a cold look in his eyes.

He thought to himself that this was the most ignorant thing he had ever heard in all these years.

To his utter astonishment, words immediately came out of Wu Hua's mouth.

Wu Hua said, "My cousin is the girlfriend of a rich young master in Beijing's elite circles. Jian He, if you dare to hit her, you're as good as dead..."

When the words "princeling of the Beijing elite" reached Cheng Yan's ears, the murderous intent in his eyes became even more pronounced.

Even Gao Xiang, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Jian He didn't want to cause trouble for Cheng Yan, so she said, "I'll deal with the things I caused myself."

"It's alright, let Gao Xiang go..."

"But?"

Jian He was somewhat worried, after all, the identity of the "crown prince of the Beijing circle" was too oppressive, and she was afraid that it would bring trouble to Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan didn't say much. He took Jian He's injured wrist and led her upstairs.

Upstairs, Cheng Yan had a private room. He found the first-aid kit in the room and treated Jian He's wounds.

The wound on her wrist wasn't very long, but it still looked somewhat out of place on Jian He's fair skin.

Cheng Yan, being a doctor, carefully helped Jian He treat her wounds.

Jian He felt a little embarrassed and apologized to Cheng Yan, "I'm sorry, I caused you trouble. I shouldn't have acted impulsively and started a fight with them today..."

Cheng Yan smiled slowly after hearing her words.

He said nonchalantly, "Are you stupid? You're not just causing me trouble, you're practically beating a dog..."

“In situations like this, if the dogs bite you, you have to fight them off.”

Hearing Cheng Yan compare Han Xiao and Wu Hua to dogs instantly lifted Jian He's gloomy mood.

She said to Cheng Yan, "But... this Han Xiao is, after all, the girlfriend of a prince of the Beijing circle. I've already had a conflict with her, and I'm afraid her prince won't let it go so easily."

Jian He's words startled Cheng Yan.

Without hesitation, he said, "It's alright, it's not a big deal. The young master of the Beijing entertainment circle wouldn't dare to extend his reach into our Nanluo City, would he?"

"Besides, just because she says she's the Crown Prince's girlfriend, does that mean she is? What if she's just bragging? If Gao Xiang said he was the Crown Prince, would you believe him?"

Jian He shook her head.

She didn't believe Gao Xiang was a prince; she'd never seen a prince serve as someone else's assistant before.

"I do not believe……"

"That's it. Don't worry, the young master's taste isn't that bad; he wouldn't choose a woman like that as his girlfriend."

With Cheng Yan's comforting words, Jian He's worries vanished.

After chatting about other things for a while, the two brought up the crisis that the Jian Group was facing.

Jian He said to Cheng Yan, "I offended Han Xiao this time. If we don't invite her to be our company's spokesperson, we'll probably face retaliation. So, I'd like to ask you for advice on how to handle this matter."

Cheng Yan looked at Jian He's furrowed brows and said, "This matter is easy to handle."

"Uh?"

Jian He felt that Cheng Yan was exaggerating. Did such a thorny issue become easy to handle in front of him?

Cheng Yan then began to make arrangements.

"So what if we don't want her to be the spokesperson? We can just find someone else. I know a veteran actress with a great reputation, credibility, and character. Hiring her as the spokesperson would be much better than hiring a popular young actress."

"I'll have Gao Xiang contact her later and have her come to Nanluo City in a few days to sign a contract with your Jian Group."

Cheng Yan's arrangements seemed perfect, but Jian He also had her own concerns.

She said to Cheng Yan, "Even veteran actors are afraid of capital. What if that young master stands up for his girlfriend... wouldn't that cause trouble for the veteran actor?"

Cheng Yan shook his head: "Don't worry, it won't happen. Since the veteran actor dared to accept the endorsement, he has the ability to handle thorny issues."

Seeing Cheng Yan's confident demeanor, Jian He didn't say anything more. She nodded to Cheng Yan, which was considered as agreeing to his idea.

After finishing their serious conversation, Jian He started chatting with Cheng Yan about other things.

She said, "I feel a little bad for always troubling you... Once our company gets through this crisis, I'll have the finance department calculate the compensation owed to your law firm, and then..."

Upon hearing Jian He mention money again, Cheng Yan chuckled.

He casually said, "Since you're going to give me money, give me a breakdown of the money I paid for jumping into the pool to save you back then."

Jian He was speechless.

She limped towards Cheng Yan with her injured hand.

She said, "Actually, I've always wanted to thank you for that, but I was a little embarrassed."

Looking at Jian He's slightly flushed face, Cheng Yan smiled faintly.

He said, "This happened so many years ago, why are you bringing it up again? Don't forget, our two families are old friends, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts, money is no object, why are you being so polite?"

"I……"

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Ruibao just called me and said that the school is holding a sports meet this afternoon and invited me to participate. Let's have some lunch together, it'll be perfect timing."

Cheng Yan glanced at his watch and began to speak to Jian He.

Jian He's face darkened. She pressed on, "Ruibao's school is having a sports meet? How come I didn't know?"

Cheng Yan shrugged, somewhat speechless, and said, "I don't know either. Maybe you've been too busy lately, and Rui Bao is too embarrassed to bother you?"

Jian He muttered to herself, feeling bad for troubling her own mother, but instead, she's troubling Uncle Cheng.

Ruibao is really something, how could he do this?

When she got home, she had to tell Ruibao to keep his distance from Cheng Yan.

The two had a quick lunch and headed to Ruibao's school. Before they even arrived, Jianhe received a questioning phone call from Yin Muqiao.
