After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"Xiao Song!" Pei Xingzhi reached out and grabbed her, his brows furrowed as he asked, "Where are you going?"

Qin Song responded indifferently: "I'll go downstairs and handle this."

Pei Xingzhi walked up to her with his cane, his eyes filled with heartache and worry: "You don't owe them any money, what do you need to resolve? Just stay put and don't run around. I'll call the police right now."

“It’s no use,” Qin Song said calmly. “The police can’t guard us forever. If we want to get rid of them completely, I have to step in myself.”

"No!" Pei Xingzhi gripped her hand tightly, determined not to let her go downstairs. "So many of them have come. I can't possibly let you go downstairs and face them alone."

Qin Song: "Then help me find a few bodyguards. Find a few trustworthy people to keep me company, okay?"

“…Xiao Song!” Pei Xingzhi was annoyed by her stubbornness and was so anxious that he could barely hold onto his cane.

But Qin Song still had the mood to smile at him.

“Pei Xingzhi, running away won’t solve the problem. As long as you’re willing to trust me, I’m confident I can resolve this matter perfectly.”

Pei Xingzhi stared intently into her eyes and said anxiously, "I believe you, I absolutely believe you! As long as you say it's not true, I can make all doubts disappear."

“But Xiao Song, the situation is really too dangerous right now. You can’t show up in front of them.”

Qin Song: "I can. Because only when I appear will they shut up."

"You..." Pei Xingzhi was so anxious and angry that he wished he could knock Qin Song unconscious with a stick so that she would stay at home and not run around.

"Pei Xingzhi." Qin Song grasped Pei Xingzhi's hand in return and said in a firm and unwavering tone, "Help me find a few people to come over. I must go downstairs today and resolve this matter."

"..." Pei Xingzhi took a heavy breath and was completely speechless.

He knew Qin Song's temper and understood her personality. Once she made up her mind about something, no one could sway her.

Including Pei Xingzhi.

Pei Xingzhi understood that she wanted to prove her innocence and also wanted to restore peace to her home.

His trust was her motivation, but it could not replace her determination.

Aside from finding someone to protect her, there's nothing else he can do right now.

He didn't say a word, but simply put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into a tight embrace. At the same time, he took out his phone and made a call to Ye Ci.

Ye Ci simply said "Okay" and then hung up the phone.

"Thank you." Qin Song nestled in Pei Xingzhi's arms, closed her eyes, and smiled softly.

Pei Xingzhi shook his head without saying a word.

Ye Ci arrived quickly, and within half an hour, he and his men surrounded all of Meng Lingqian's male models.

Pei Xingzhi originally wanted to go downstairs with Qin Song to face the situation, but Qin Song refused and insisted on leaving him alone at home.

Unable to persuade him otherwise, he could only help the person into the elevator, then he ran to the balcony with his cane, keeping a close eye on the situation downstairs.

Ye Ci brought twelve people with him: four were studio employees, six were his acquaintances, and two were old acquaintances.

Ji Mingxuan, Lin Jiahe.

The people Ye Ci brought were generally very tall and strong, and their appearance immediately intimidated the skinny male models.

Fearing a beating, the male models unconsciously changed their shouts into complaints.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to start a group fight?" Meng Lingqian asked, sticking her neck out.

Ji Mingxuan immediately showed his lawyer's license and said with a smile, "We're here to resolve this matter, not to fight. You don't need to be so nervous."

"By the way, who are these guys to you?"

Meng Lingqian lied through her teeth: "They are all my younger brothers."

"Heh..." Ye Ci chuckled sarcastically, "You have so many younger brothers, your family must be quite prolific."

"...None of your business!" Meng Lingqian glared at him fiercely.

Ji Mingxuan: "Of course, we don't need to take care of your younger brothers. We're just curious, what kind of jobs do your brothers do? Since they're owed wages, do they need legal aid?"

"I am a professional lawyer and can provide you with free consultation services."

"Get out of my way!" Meng Lingqian wasn't buying it and even retorted, "Stop being sarcastic. If you suspect our work isn't clean, you can call the police to investigate. I'm always ready."

“…Hmph.” Ji Mingxuan chuckled, ignoring her words.

People in their line of work usually have protectors. If calling the police could really bring them down, they wouldn't be standing here openly right now.

Ji Mingxuan, being a lawyer, knew better than anyone how complicated things were.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Lin Jiahe, who hadn't spoken a word since arriving, suddenly coughed a few times.

Ye Ci turned to look at him and asked softly, "What's wrong? Have you caught a cold?"

"No." Lin Jiahe covered her nose, a deep wrinkle forming between her brows. "I just feel that the air here is a bit uncomfortable, like there's a rotten chicken smell."

"……puff!"

These words almost made Ye Ci and the others laugh themselves to death.

Meng Lingqian and her "brothers" blushed and were immediately somewhat embarrassed.

"Who are you cursing?" Meng Lingqian glared at Lin Jiahe and questioned her in a shrill voice.

Lin Jiahe smirked and said in a cheeky tone, "I'll curse whoever gets angry."

"You—" Meng Lingqian was almost furious.

Her brothers, seeing that she had been wronged, stood up for her and defended her.

"What do you guys mean by this? How can you bully a woman like this?"

Ye Ci retorted, "You all have the nerve to come begging for food, so why shouldn't we have the nerve to bully her?"

The argument erupted instantly, and a crowd of onlookers quickly gathered at the entrance of the apartment building.

Qin Song had just stepped out of the elevator when he heard this chaotic noise.

"sister in law!"

As soon as Ye Ci saw her, he quickly pushed through the crowd blocking the doorway and rushed in to take her out.

As soon as she appeared, Meng Lingqian and her brothers immediately perked up.

"Qin Song!" Meng Lingqian stepped forward, adopting the posture of a debt collector, and shouted at her, "You hid like a turtle for so long, but we still found you in the end! Pay back the money, pay back the money right now!"

"Yes, pay me back!"

Seven or eight male models echoed in unison.

Ye Ci: "I think you've all gone crazy from selling your asses too much. Who the hell owes you anything—"

"Ye Ci." Qin Song raised his hand to stop him, signaling him not to argue with this group of people.

He stopped mid-sentence and rolled his eyes at Meng Lingqian, somewhat annoyed.

Meng Lingqian saw Qin Song but didn't bother with him anymore, only keeping asking Qin Song for money.

"Qin Song, you took advantage of me so many times back then, isn't it time to pay back the money?"

Qin Song looked at her calmly: "What are you talking about? You're saying I'm freeloading? Do you have any proof?"
