After reading my mind, everyone collectively begged me to watch the drama unfold!

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were slightly red, and she kept blinking as if trying hard not to let her tears fall. She looked like a frightened kitten.

Lin Xiaoxiao sat down next to Gu Qingye, looked up at everyone with a weak and helpless expression, and said in a trembling voice with grievance: "I really didn't do anything. I don't know why Guiyi did this."

Her right cheek was badly swollen and red, with clear fingerprints imprinted on her fair skin, showing the ruthlessness of the perpetrator.

Her hair was slightly disheveled and scattered on both sides of her face, making her look even more pitiful. Her innocent and aggrieved eyes looked at everyone with a watery gaze, trying to convince them of her innocence.

Lu Anyi swallowed unconsciously. Lin Xiaoxiao had such good eyesight; if she hadn't known the truth, she would have really been fooled by Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lu Anyi and Bai Yishuang looked at each other, unsure of what to say. Their eyes met, and they both knew what the other was thinking.

"Well, you're asking us? We don't know either. This is between the two of you, so don't drag us into it," Lu Anyi said, pulling Bai Yishuang aside.

Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and opened her mouth as if to say something.

"Move aside." A flat, distant voice rang out.

Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw Gu Qingye's indifferent expression.

"Move aside," Gu Qingye repeated.

Lin Xiaoxiao awkwardly stepped aside, her emotions seemingly shattered by something invisible.

Gu Qingye left immediately and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Hmm, I just finished eating and don't want to see anything disgusting. Let's go play badminton in the yard," Yan Cigui said lazily as she stood up.

Without waiting for a reply, Yan Cigui casually put his hands in his pockets and strode towards the door, seemingly oblivious to Lin Xiaoxiao's instantly embarrassed expression.

Upon seeing this, Lu Anyi and Bai Yishuang hurriedly followed behind Yan Cigui, their steps quick as if something terrifying was behind them.

In the empty living room, Lin Xiaoxiao sat alone on the sofa. The air around her seemed to have frozen, as if every place was filled with a suffocating silence and indifference.

Lin Xiaoxiao kept her head down, so her expression was not visible.

{Wow, poor Lin Xiaoxiao, you can even see the marks on her face!}

{No, can't you all tell this is just him playing the victim?}

{Everyone's attitude towards Lin Xiaoxiao was so cold. Good heavens, Yan Cigui almost said that Lin Xiaoxiao disgusted him. Lin Xiaoxiao's face really froze instantly.}

{Ugh, everyone's left! This scene is infuriating!}

{What do you think Lin Xiaoxiao is thinking about with her head down?}

{What kind of trash did the production team invite? Xiaoxiao was beaten for no reason and maliciously isolated by everyone? They didn't even do anything! I'm going to report the production team, they're garbage!}

{Lin Xiaoxiao is being kicked around by everyone now that she's fallen from grace, but she deserves it. Even Actor Lin hasn't said anything, so it seems Lin Xiaoxiao is truly finished.}

{As mentioned earlier, Actor Lin has been filming in seclusion. He'll definitely protect Xiaoxiao once he finds out.}

Upstairs, Lin Guiyi, completely unaware of the situation, was lying in bed communicating with the system.

[Hey, you should carefully examine the evidence regarding Lin Xiaoxiao's affair. I refuse to believe there aren't any flaws.]

[Host, to be frank, there are flaws, but there's still no direct evidence.]

[Damn, this means you know it's them, but you can't do anything about it!]

The system remained silent, afraid of upsetting the host.

"Ugh, am I really going to have to suffer this in silence?!"

Lin Gui's eyes were filled with resentment. He sat up, clenched his fists, and punched the pillow a few times to vent his anger.

[Host, the pillow is innocent!]

"call--"

Lin Guiyi stopped what he was doing.

Lin Guiyi regained her composure and picked up her phone to scroll through videos. Only funny videos could cheer her up now.

---

In the blink of an eye, this episode has come to an end, and filming has concluded amidst the reluctance of viewers.

Everyone packed their luggage and prepared to get on the bus and leave.

"Lin Guiyi, Lin Guiyi, wait a moment."

Lin Guiyi thought he heard Aunt Zhang's voice, and when he turned around, he saw Aunt Zhang's figure.

Aunt Zhang quickly came to Lin Guiyi and handed him a bag.

"This is the chili sauce I made. I saw you liked it before, so take it back and try it."

"No need, Aunt Zhang."

"Don't be so polite. Besides, you've done my family such a big favor. This is nothing. I can make more later."

Seeing that Aunt Zhang had said so, it wouldn't be good to refuse, so Lin Gui had no choice but to accept it.

"Aunt Zhang, about Xiao Yi..."

"It's decided, the old man has already gone in." Aunt Zhang seemed to have made up her mind, looking completely indifferent.

"Aunt Zhang, Uncle Zhang's matter might drag on for a while. Call if anything happens. Someone will come to pick up Xiao Yi and take her to the hospital. After that, you can leave with Xiao Yi."

"okay"

Aunt Zhang handed other things to Gu Qingye and Lu Anyi, and then left in a hurry.

Seeing the two looking at him, Lin Guiyi explained, "I've decided to sponsor Xiaoyi and will also be responsible for her treatment. You mentioned before that you would help find a good doctor; you can contact me if there are any issues."

“No, Lin Guiyi, this is a promise we made together. I want to sponsor it too. Count me in,” Lu Anyi disagreed.

"I also."

Lin Guiyi beamed a big smile: "Okay!"

"Guiyi, get in the car," Liu Mengmeng, the assistant, called out from inside the car.

"We're here," Lin Guiyi waved to the two of them and got into the car.

The cars started moving, and one after another they drove across the road.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Lin Guiyi felt a little reluctant to leave; the three short days seemed to have passed for a long time.

Lin Guiyi squinted. In the distance, there was a figure working in the fields. He looked familiar, but it took him a while to recognize Su Chen. It seemed he had been working for quite some time.

Lin Gui didn't look away until Su Chen was out of sight.

"Sister Qin, I'll leave Xiaoyi's matter to you for now. Deduct the money directly from her salary, and I'll add more if it's not enough."

Qin Keqing, in the passenger seat, hummed in agreement.

"Guiyi, it's confirmed that Lin Xiaoxiao was the one who drugged him." Qin Keqing knew about the connection between Lin Guiyi and Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Really, Sister Qin. But there's no direct evidence. However, the best way to find out if the overseas information that transferred money to that girl was the signal that was sent back to China before it was sent was around Lin Xiaoxiao's house."

Lin Guiyi then sent the message to Qin Keqing.

"Yes, I believe you, but I want to give Lin Xiaoxiao a warning for what she did this time."

Lin Gui nodded. "Indeed, Sister Qin, perhaps we should start with her work."

Lin Guiyi thought about it and realized that Lin Xiaoxiao didn't have much support backing her now. The male lead? He was still struggling with the second female lead's company! He didn't have the time.

"Okay, leave this to me."

"Ah, Sister Qin is so great, mwah!" Lin Guiyi blew her a kiss.

"No, disgusting."

"Liu Mengmeng!"

"Here!" Liu Mengmeng shouted reflexively.

Lin Guiyi burst out laughing.

"From now on, you must pay attention to every aspect of Lin Guiyi's life, and make sure that something like today never happens again."

"Yes," Liu Mengmeng assured.

It takes several hours to drive back to the city from the village. Lin Guiyi played on his phone for a while, but felt physically and mentally exhausted and bored.

[Hey mistress, here's some gossip, it's about assistant Liu Mengmeng.]

The panel quickly revealed Liu Mengmeng's secret, and Lin Guiyi adjusted his posture and began to look at it seriously.

Liu Mengmeng shifted uncomfortably beside her. When she came to work as Lin Guiyi's assistant, she knew that one day she would be exposed to gossip about her, but it was happening far too soon.

"Waaah," Liu Mengmeng turned to look out the window, afraid that she might make an expression that would alert Lin Guiyi if she got emotional.
