Don't meet me in your next life.

"I...I'm leaving now." She said, turning to leave, but the man suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Ouch!" Xiang Yi exclaimed, falling to the ground. "Ah!"

She fell and grimaced, but then she heard the man say, "Don't move! Otherwise, I can't guarantee the rope won't suddenly come loose, and don't blame me for disregarding our sibling relationship!"

"You..." Xiang Yi glared at him angrily, wishing she could rush up and punch him.

She gritted her teeth and cursed hatefully, "Bastard!"

The man shrugged it off, "Whose fault is this? Who told you to mess with me?"

"I've messed with you?" Xiang Yi looked at him coldly. "Which eye of yours saw me mess with you? If you're so capable, tell us everything that happened that night. We'll see you in court then!"

"See you in court?" The man glanced at her dismissively. "You've got the guts, of course I'll take you on. But I advise you to leave Shengyu Group as soon as possible, or I guarantee you won't survive in this industry!"

After saying that, the man strode away.

"Stop right there!" Xiang Yi trembled with rage. "You're not allowed to leave!"

The man ignored him and simply disappeared into the crowd with an air of nonchalance.

"Damn it!" Xiang Yi was furious and grabbed a rock, throwing it hard.

The stone struck empty air, producing a crisp, clear cracking sound.

She really couldn't understand why this jerk was bothering her.

They were complete strangers, so why was he clinging to her?

She didn't want to talk to him or have anything to do with him.

She's leaving; she's leaving Shengyu Group!

As Xiang Yi was pondering this, she suddenly heard whispers around her, "Oh dear, it seems this girl has fallen out with the second young master of the Sheng family!"

"real or fake?"

"Would I lie to you? I heard it's because she fell for a scumbag, but he didn't want to take responsibility, so he dumped her and now he's even threatening to blacklist her. Tsk tsk tsk, she deserves it!"

"Exactly! Girls these days love to play hard to get. Look at her, she's doing it on purpose, she's shameless!"

"..."

Xiang Yi became increasingly angry as she listened. She stood up angrily and walked out of the entertainment venue.

She walked to the door and suddenly heard someone calling her.

"Hey, Xiang Yiyi!"

Xiang Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pink figure waving at her not far away.

She looked closely and saw it was Ye Qianqian.

Xiang Yi walked over and greeted her with a smile, "Hi, long time no see! What brings you to the mall today?"

Ye Qianqian rolled her eyes at her. "That's a really strange question. Why can't I go shopping? I'm here to buy clothes, is that not allowed?"

“Sure! Of course!” Xiang Yi said with a smile.

"Hey Xiang Yiyi, where have you been these past few days? Haven't you been keeping in touch with your sugar daddy?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yi's expression darkened. "No, we've already broken up."

"What! You guys..." Ye Qianqian's mouth dropped open in surprise.

She never expected that Xiang Yiyi would break up with Sheng Yu.

Xiang Yi could tell from her expression that she was gloating, and couldn't help but say, "But I have my reasons. He's too much of a womanizer. Not only does he have a girlfriend, but he's also constantly entangled with different women. He's simply not good enough for me!"

"What's there for him to confess? He's such a womanizer, who would want him!"

"That's right! You may not care, but I certainly do!"

"Take it if you like it!" Xiang Yi said with a pout.

Ye Qianqian glanced around, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "How did you meet that man?"

"In short, if you like it, you can take it!" Xiang Yi shrugged.

Ye Qianqian waved her hand dismissively, "No! Don't flatter me, I can't stand it. I'm not like you, I'm not that stupid!"

She looked at Xiang Yiyi, her face full of curiosity, "By the way, was that woman you mentioned the other day real?"

Xiang Yi was taken aback.

Ye Qianqian glanced at her and continued, "Is it really true?"

"Of course not!" Xiang Yi quickly retorted.

"So...you two really broke up?"

Xiang Yi nodded. "We broke up three years ago."

"That's good..." Ye Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. "I was worried he would try to cling to you; that man is truly terrifying!"

"What's wrong with him?" Xiang Yi asked. "Is he terrible?"

Ye Qianqian shook her head, "No, it's just... sigh, never mind him, let's hurry up and go, or we'll get caught by the paparazzi!"

After saying that, Ye Qianqian grabbed Xiang Yiyi's arm and ran away.

They ran very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the crowd had dispersed, leaving only the hurried footsteps of Xiang Yiyi and Ye Qianqian.

The two ran back to the car. Ye Qianqian unbuckled her seatbelt while complaining, "Honestly, I was almost scared to death just now. I thought he was going to catch up with us."

Xiang Yi smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, he's the president of Shengyu Group, who would dare to mess with him? Besides, I've already broken up with him, what are you still worried about?"

Of course I'm worried about you!

"What do I have to worry about? He's nobody to me, why should I worry about him!" Xiang Yi muttered.

"Pshaw, that's just unrequited love on your part. He doesn't treat you like that at all. I've had far more dealings with him than you have."

"..."

Xiang Yi had nothing to say.

"Forget about these upsetting things, where are we going now?" Xiang Yi changed the subject.

"Where else can we go? We'll definitely find a hotel to stay in!"

Xiang Yi thought for a moment, "How about we go to my mom's place? She has a house there."

"Didn't you say your mother moved away a long time ago?"

"She moved to another city. I just spoke to her on the phone a while ago, so I thought it might be more convenient to go to her place."

"Alright then," Ye Qianqian agreed. "Anyway, it's all your family home, so I don't care where you stay. We're best friends, so you have to take care of me wherever you go!"

“That’s a must.” Xiang Yi smiled at her, revealing her teeth.

The two chatted all the way to Lin Ruoshan's villa.

Ye Qianqian rang the doorbell, and a series of footsteps sounded. Soon, the door was opened from the inside.

Lin Ruoshan was extremely excited to see Xiang Yiyi. She quickly grabbed her hand, tears welling up in her eyes, "Yiyi, you're finally here! I've missed you so much, I've missed you so much!"

"Auntie!" Xiang Yiyi's eyes also welled up with tears, and for a moment she was choked up and unable to speak.

"Yiyi, come on in! I've made lots of dishes, they're waiting to be eaten, so please don't be shy!"

"No, no, your cooking is definitely the best!" Xiang Yi said quickly.

Looking at the two people embracing so warmly, Ye Qianqian couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "These two are really too mushy!"

"Aren't you ashamed to praise yourself like that!" Xiang Yi laughed and scolded. "By the way, where's my mom? Shall we go to her place?"
