Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

"What a joke! Me, afraid of him?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zihao immediately stood up, hands on his hips: "Back in the day, I punched the Nanshan Nursing Home and kicked the Beihai Kindergarten! How could I be afraid..."

Big brother!!!

Qiao Zihao's voice cracked when he called out "Big Brother" for the last time.

"So that's it!"

Mu Yun stood at the door, watching Qiao Zihao showing off his skills on the sofa, and said knowingly, "In that case, I'd better withdraw my investment."

"No! Big brother!"

Qiao Zihao jumped off the sofa, nimbly slid over to his knees, and tightly hugged Mu Yun's leg.

He pleaded desperately, "I was wrong, brother! I was really wrong! I'll never be arrogant again! Please don't withdraw your investment!"

Mu Yun chuckled and said, "Is that arrogance? That's just being brainless!"

Qiao Zihao nodded vigorously, echoing, "Yes, yes, yes! Big brother is absolutely right!"

......

After Mu Yun and Chu Xunxiang left, Qiao Zihao slumped listlessly on the sofa: "We just finished filming one drama, and now we have to film another one."

Sigh! Being a good actor is such a headache! You can't even slack off!

Shi Xiaxia and Su Yueke exchanged a glance, then rolled their eyes in unison.

Although the next drama has already been booked, the production team and actor selection will take a long time, and they will have plenty of time to go out and have some fun.

So the group chose a small seaside town called "Mye Lai Ching Hai".

The scenery there is picturesque, and it is a famous tourist destination, especially popular with couples getting married and on their honeymoon.

After choosing a location and making some preparations, the three of them embarked on their journey.

After several hours of flying and transferring, the three arrived safely in My Lai Chiang Hai and checked into their hotel.

After arriving at their destination, they all rested for a while. It wasn't until evening that they left the hotel, ready to wander around.

However, just to be on the safe side and to prevent being recognized by some fans, Shi Xiaxia gave Qiao Zihao and Su Yueke another talisman.

If you carry this talisman on your person, unless you are a close friend or relative, they will not recognize you even if you stand in front of them.

After hearing Shi Xiaxia's explanation, Qiao Zihao and Su Yueke immediately put the masks close to their bodies.

Afterward, the four of them chose a direction and walked slowly, passing many stalls selling snacks and toys along the way.

The four of them walked along, buying things that interested them as they went.

After walking for just over ten minutes, Shi Xiaxia spotted several familiar figures.

The two sides walked towards each other. Shi Xiaxia saw them, and they naturally saw Shi Xiaxia as well.

They stopped in their tracks, and their expressions became somewhat unnatural as they recalled what had happened.

When Qiao Zihao saw them, his face immediately fell. He reached out and pulled Shi Xiaxia up, saying, "Xiaxia! Let's go!"

Just as Qiao Zihao pulled Xiaxia up and before he could leave, Shen Yiqing couldn't help but step forward: "Xiaxia...!"

"Mom!" Shen Qingqing saw that Shen Yi was not in a good state and immediately reached out to grab her, her voice filled with fear.

She was afraid that Shen Yi would really side with Shi Xiaxia, and even more afraid that Shen Yi would attract Shi Xiaxia.

She had finally managed to accumulate some luck points! She absolutely couldn't let Shi Xiaxia ruin them again!

After Shen Qingqing called out, Shen Yi seemed to wake up.

She looked at Shi Xiaxia, her eyes slowly changing from initial guilt and heartache to disgust and hatred.

Her voice carried a warning: "Now that you've ruthlessly severed ties with the Shen family, stop bothering us!"

Shi Xiaxia stopped and turned to look coldly at Shen Yi.

"Stop being so self-righteous! There's not a single good person in your Shen family! You're all a pile of shit! Even a dog wouldn't want to go there!"

Qiao Zihao reacted faster than Shi Xiaxia, and he immediately cursed, "What bad luck! I came out on a trip and got bitten by a dog!"

"You!" Shen Yi's face changed color after being scolded by Qiao Zihao.

Her chest heaved violently with anger, but she couldn't utter a single word.

She had never been spoken to so rudely before! It was so ill-mannered!

"Qiao Zihao!" Shen Yu stepped forward: "Watch your mouth!"

"What are you barking about, dog?! Can't you speak human language?"

Qiao Zihao looked at Shen Yu with disdain: "If you can't speak like a human being, then shut up!"

Shi Xiaxia patted Qiao Zihao reassuringly, a smile playing on her lips as she looked at the other two ladies beside Shen Yi.

He then slowly said, "The Shen family's fortunes have run out. If you insist on cooperating with the Shen family, however much you invest, you will lose!"

"you......!"

Shen Yi angrily pointed at Shi Xiaxia: "You're not allowed to talk nonsense! Our Shen family is fine now! Stop cursing us!"

"One year!"

Shi Xiaxia held up one finger: "Your Shen family... only has one year left!"

In fact, with Shi Xiaxia's abilities, she could bankrupt the Shen family in just a few months.

The reason for extending the process for so long was twofold: firstly, to lure out more secrets about Shen Qingqing; and secondly, to let the Shen family experience the process of bankruptcy.

That would be more interesting, wouldn't it?

After Shi Xiaxia finished speaking, she ignored Shen Yi and turned to one of the two ladies beside her, saying, "Your daughter is in danger of bloodshed recently. When that happens, you can come to Qingling Hotel to find me."

After hearing her words, the man looked at Shi Xiaxia with a hint of annoyance.

Why would she curse her daughter when she's perfectly fine?!

However, the lady was well-mannered and couldn't say anything unpleasant; she simply snorted and turned to leave.

After she left, the others called out and followed her.

Shen Yu glanced at Su Yueke with a complicated expression, then turned around and followed her.

"Xiaxia, why are you reminding them?" Qiao Zihao asked, puzzled.

"If we don't stop them, there's a high chance that the Shen family will reach a cooperation agreement with them."

Shi Xiaxia patiently explained to Qiao Zihao, "I don't want the Shen family to live that long!"

"Oh!" Qiao Zihao was relieved to see that Shi Xiaxia was not being soft-hearted or kind-hearted.

......

"Was that girl Shi Xiaxia just now?" asked Shen Yi, referring to the noblewoman who had been told by Shi Xiaxia that her daughter was destined for bloodshed.

“Yes, Mrs. Cheng,” Shen Yi replied with a hint of respect.

Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Shuxue, initially developed her business in China, but after a few years she started doing business overseas, and eventually abandoned China altogether and immigrated abroad.

Despite this, the Cheng family's influence now surpasses that of the Shen family.

Besides, Shen Yi had something to ask of her, so naturally she had to treat her with courtesy and respect.

“Oh! That Shi Xiaxia! She’s so heartless!” another noblewoman chimed in.

She is Tao Qing, the mother-in-law of Shen Jue, the daughter of Shen Lang, the eldest son of the Shen family.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen passed away early, leaving behind only this one daughter.

While studying abroad, Shen Jue met Tao Zhile, who had immigrated. The two fell in love and got married. Shen Jue eventually stayed abroad to develop her career and rarely returned to the Shen family.

Shen Yi invited Tao Qing and Cheng Shuxue this time to ask them for help to get the Shen family through this difficult time.

"Looks good, but has no manners." Cheng Shuxue's face was very unpleasant.
