After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

The matter was only temporarily brought to a close after everyone had been arguing at the police station until well past midnight.

Tong Wuyu insisted that she only bought drugs to enhance her sexual experience, and that her purpose was simply to have a relationship with Cheng Yanye.

The test results came back, and the drug did indeed fall into that ambiguous line, meaning it wasn't considered a contraband.

Moreover, Cheng Yanye showed no intention of pursuing the matter.

He'd already slept with her, and aside from feeling a little nauseous and Ye Wanyin being a bit difficult to coax, he didn't feel anything else.

Zhu Xueli was unwilling to let it go easily, but she also knew that making a big fuss would be bad for her son, so she could only keep insulting Tong Wuyu to vent her anger.

Although Ye Wanyin verbally claimed to be a victim, she was actually acting out of necessity to comply with the situation. If she had a choice, she certainly wouldn't have called the police. She could have simply finished her tearful act and continued to use this incident to control Tong Wuyu and Cheng Yanye, wouldn't that have been enough?

But Ye Sanqing was beyond her control, and after causing trouble for so many people, he actually left ahead of schedule.

Ye Wanyin was furious watching Ye Sanqing's retreating figure, but there was nothing she could do about it. She could only think bitterly to herself, "Wait until I get my hands on Sheng Hanyu, then let's see if you can still laugh!"

Ye Sanqing came out and saw An Yueyuan again.

For some reason, this person followed her again, looking at her with a hesitant expression.

It was late at night, and Ye Sanqing didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he simply walked over and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I...I apologize to you on behalf of Wanwan!"

Ye Wanyin hadn't given her a friendly look, only telling her to leave quickly, and hadn't paid any attention to Hua Duoduo's disheveled appearance.

Seeing Hua Duoduo like this, An Yueyuan couldn't just leave alone, so she came over with the Hua family members who had rushed over.

While in the car, Hua Duoduo held her hand tightly and kept crying.

An Yueyuan didn't understand why the other person was crying, she just felt that she was terrified because she had almost been harmed, so she comforted her for a while.

But when she hinted that Hua Duoduo was also one of the masterminds, the elders of the Hua family changed their expressions and immediately warned her not to say anything more. They also whispered to Hua Duoduo that she must insist that she knew nothing and that she just happened to be with Tong Wuyu.

Hua Duoduo felt so frustrated.

Today, she not only lost face in front of her crush, but she also almost got tainted. She still can't understand how Ye Sanqing could so calmly walk in through the window to watch the show.

She had taken Tong Wuyu's tearful complaint to heart.

Tong Wuyu was envious of the lives of these real young ladies; she had always known that. It's quite possible that Tong Wuyu was trying to climb the social ladder, verbally agreeing to help Wanwan, but actually using the opportunity to sleep with Cheng Yanye herself.

Hua Duoduo thought about it more and more and it made more sense. After all, what deep-seated hatred could Tong Wuyu and Ye Sanqing possibly have? Her enthusiasm must be suspicious! It's just that everyone thought it made sense at the time, but no one noticed the despicable thoughts of this insidious woman!

That's right, that must be it! We can't give these poor people even a chance!

Hua Duoduo managed to make her own logic work and started to feel sorry for Ye Wanyin. It turned out that only she genuinely considered Wanyin a friend; her girlfriends had taken advantage of her, and even her fiancé… her fiancé…

Hua Duoduo blushed slightly as she recalled the sounds she had heard while hiding under the stairs.

Even knowing that Cheng Yanye had been drugged and that his actions might not have been of his own volition, the commotion just now was truly...

She asked herself, if it were her fiancé, and he had done something like that, even if it wasn't consensual, she wouldn't want him anymore. But Wanwan treated him so magnanimously… Wanwan is truly kind-hearted!

Hua Duoduo decided that she must treat Ye Wanyin better from now on, and also decided to no longer be friends with Tong Wuyu.

She also wanted to remind Wanwan and...Second Brother Ye to be wary of this woman, Tong Wuyu!

Hua Duoduo blushed at her own imagination, then thought that if it were Ye Jin'er, perhaps she could forgive her. But it would be best to eliminate the possibility at its source!

Thinking it over, she immediately took out her phone to send a message. Although she had lost face today, reminding him that Tong Wuyu was dangerous would surely earn her some points!

Ye Jin'er, who received the message: ?

In fact, in Ye Jin'er's eyes, Tong Wuyu, Hua Duoduo, and even An Yueyuan were all the same kind of people; they were all Ye Wanyin's group of low-class friends.

His low social standing wasn't due to his background or economic status, but because he knew very well what kind of good people could be hanging out with Ye Wanyin.

He didn't even know when he had added Hua Duoduo's contact information.

So Ye Jin'er raised her hand and blocked her.

An Yueyuan watched Hua Duoduo's ever-changing expression, and after a while, she even blushed and sent a message, which was really puzzling.

However, Hua Duoduo never needed to consult her before doing things; she only needed to follow their instructions.

After arriving at the location, since An Yueyuan was not directly related to today's events, she did not go in. She paced around outside for a while, and then remembered the question that she had temporarily put aside: Is Ye Wanyin a good person?

An Yueyuan knew she wasn't very bright, but Ye Wanyin had always been very kind to her, so she assumed Ye Wanyin was a good person. Whenever Ye Wanyin needed help, she was always the first to rush to her aid.

But what if the other person isn't a good person?

The person she beat up for Ye Wanyin back then...

An Yueyuan became increasingly confused and dared not think about it further. At this moment, Ye Sanqing came out. Not knowing how to answer his question, she could only offer an inexplicable apology.

Ye Sanqing: "Doesn't Ye Wanyin have a mouth?"

An Yueyuan was somewhat troubled. Ye Sanqing was clearly not the kind of person she knew. If it were anyone else, they would naturally accept the apology first, and some would even comfort her, saying it was nothing and she didn't need to be so nervous.

Ye Sanqing would seize upon even the slightest loophole and investigate it thoroughly, just like how she would attack relentlessly once she found an opening in the boxing ring—it was terrifying!

Seeing that she didn't speak, Ye Sanqing took another step closer, "You said you apologized, so what exactly did she do wrong?"

“No…I…” An Yueyuan remembered the instructions from the Hua family elders earlier, saying that Hua Duoduo should not get involved in this matter, and she was speechless.

How should I explain this? Should I say it has nothing to do with Ye Wanyin, and that Tong Wuyu acted on her own initiative? Then why did she apologize on Ye Wanyin's behalf? If she were to apologize, she should have apologized on Tong Wuyu's behalf. Why apologize to Ye Sanqing? After all, Ye Sanqing didn't appear to have suffered any harm. If I'm going to say anything, I need to say everything; otherwise, even a single word will be difficult to explain.

She wasn't very good at speaking to begin with, and now she was even more tongue-tied.

Ye Sanqing was now standing in front of her, with no fierce expression, just staring at her quietly, but cold sweat began to break out on her back.

Even when they were face-to-face in the boxing ring, An Yueyuan had never felt this way. It wasn't like the feeling of facing a formidable opponent, but rather... the feeling that if she gave an answer that displeased her opponent, she would be dragged out and beheaded.

A strange flash of inspiration struck An Yueyuan.

Ye Sanqing would never bully Ye Wanyin.

She didn't know why she had this perception, but she trusted her intuition.

Suddenly she was able to express herself clearly: "Wanwan thought you bullied her, so she might have done some bad things to you. But this is a misunderstanding on her part. There was no bullying at all. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Ye Sanqing was slightly surprised.

Surprisingly, An Yueyuan, who seemed the least bright, was the first to point out the key point.

That's right. If she wanted to do something to Ye Wanyin, it would be something that couldn't be described as "bullying" at all.

But while this is an important point, it is not crucial.

Ye Wanyin's targeted attack might not even be as harmful as a mosquito bite.

Ye Sanqing didn't know what use Ye Yifan could have for Ye Wanyin, but since Ye Yifan wasn't interfering and even somewhat supporting her, she assumed that her counterattack against Ye Wanyin was accepted.

In her past life, she disliked many people, but these people were still useful, so what harm was there in letting them cause some trouble?

Just kill it whenever you need to.

"This isn't a misunderstanding, it's fabrication," Ye Sanqing said to An Yueyuan after a moment's thought. "So, what about your personal apology?"

"My apology?" An Yueyuan realized what was happening and thought to herself, "I've already been defeated by you, do I still need to apologize?" But she also knew that it was wrong of her to be instigated by Ye Wanyin to come and fight Ye Sanqing, so she said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten angry and come to fight you because Wanwan misunderstood you... Actually, I didn't want to fight you, I just wanted to beat you up, but I didn't expect to be beaten up by you instead, I'm sorry."

An Yueyuan's apology was a mess, but Ye Sanqing could tell that there was some sincerity in it.

She didn't care what An Yueyuan was like, but she wanted to clip as much of Ye Wanyin's wings as possible. So Ye Sanqing spoke up again, "I accept this part. But shouldn't you apologize to more than just me?"

An Yueyuan, who had just been thinking about these things, naturally knew what Ye Sanqing meant.

Those are the people she hit before. Maybe not all of them, but at least most of them were hit by her because of this kind of so-called "misunderstanding," right?

An Yueyuan was reluctant to face it. They'd already fought, the other person hadn't died, and no one was pursuing the matter; what was the point of apologizing now?

Seeing her standing there deep in thought, Ye Sanqing knew that things had gone far enough for today, so he turned and left.

Ye Wanyin, you've put me on the hot stove, and I'm not only going to overturn your pot, but I'm also going to pull out your firewood.

After Sheng Hanyu came out, he met up with his friend Nangong Wang.

He has always been relatively low-key. Firstly, as a second-generation star, he naturally attracts attention, and it's hard for him to stay quiet wherever he goes once he shows his face. It's like he's already a star even though he hasn't officially debuted. Secondly, it's due to his personality. He naturally prefers to be alone, fishing or gardening.

The main reason Sheng Hanyu became friends with Nangong Wang, a man who always brings excitement wherever he goes, is their family friendship. In addition, they have been classmates for many years, and Sheng Hanyu has gotten used to their playful banter.

As soon as Nangong Wang saw him, he ran over and asked with a wink, "Why did you come out of the window?"

When Sheng Hanyu called him to come and see what was going on, he even doubted his own eyes! How could he possibly see Sheng Hanyu sending such a message?

After rubbing his eyes and realizing he wasn't seeing things or dreaming, he immediately gathered a small group of people he had been drinking with and rushed to the scene.

What a spectacle! And his quiet buddy was even standing in the center of the stage! This was far more unusual than the spectacle itself.

Then Nangong Wang saw Sheng Hanyu walk out of the window carrying a red plastic bucket, and he was speechless.

So he immediately ran to the villa to block him.

Sheng Hanyu found his question strange, "There are so many people at the entrance, do you expect me to squeeze through?"

He was about to go back to pack up his fishing gear before heading back to his rest area when Nangong Wang followed him, gossiping, "When did you meet Ye San? Why didn't you tell me before we came? That's not very loyal of you, meeting such a beautiful woman and not even introducing her to your buddy?"

Upon hearing his words, Sheng Hanyu paused in her steps.

He realized something was wrong.

He doesn't know Ye San at all!

However, Ye Sanqing's attitude was too natural just now, so much so that he didn't realize when he was being led astray by the other party.

His silence was interpreted by Nangong Wang as embarrassment.

"You wouldn't be...you wouldn't be thinking what I'm thinking...? Is your blockhead finally coming to your senses?" Nangong Wang shook his head with a "tsk tsk tsk" sound. "If you like someone, just go for it! Let me tell you, that girl from so-and-so's family last time..."

Sheng Hanyu hadn't felt a headache coming on from Nangong Wang's noise for a long time.

He doesn't even really know the other person, so how can he say he likes them?

Moreover, whenever a woman appears around him over the years, Nangong Wang is always much more enthusiastic than he is. Doesn't he realize that he's still single? Instead of wasting his time trying to matchmake him with people he has absolutely no connection with, he would have been engaged and married long ago if he put that effort into dating himself.

However, Nangong Wang was just curious as always, and then he rambled on and on, leading the topic astray. Sheng Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief that she didn't have to answer the question.

Sheng Hanyu didn't say a word until they got back to their room. Nangong Wang said to himself that he was going out for drinks and then ran off.

After calming down, Sheng Hanyu inexplicably took out her phone and found Ye Sanqing's Weibo account.

Then he thought about it for a moment and followed Ye Sanqing using a secondary account.

Ye Sanqing's Weibo account is still stuck on reposting the last Weibo post from the "Walking Together" program team, and the whole thing looks very official.

Sheng Hanyu was also going to be on the show. At the time, she just forwarded the promotional Weibo post in a formulaic way and didn't pay attention to who was participating.

He'll meet them eventually, so it'll be easier to remember them. He won't do unnecessary things like doing homework beforehand.

Moreover, Sheng Hanyu is very clear about his position. Although he is not willing to admit it, he has a movie star father after all. When he goes out, people will come up to him and take the initiative to introduce himself.

He wasn't used to it when he was little, but he gradually got used to it as he grew up. There's nothing you can't get used to.

Including loneliness.

But today, in his lonely world, it seemed as if another voice had appeared.
