Ever since the "Godly Rich System" came along, I've been trending on social media eve

Qiaoqiao was now oblivious to the gossip around her; she was only concerned with money.

"I thought it was Xixi who was treating. As for you... I'm not paying." Ye Jinran frowned and moved closer to Lin Xi, as if the person in front of her was some kind of plague.

Qiaoqiao noticed the fleeting look of disdain in his eyes, and her heart sank. She calmed down and stopped yelling like before, staring blankly ahead with unfocused eyes.

No, I'm only a few million short. I should be able to borrow some from my friends. Hope rekindled in her eyes as she said anxiously, "I... I can pay 11 million first, and I can borrow the remaining 3 million from my friends, okay?"

"Where did you get more than ten million? Your ten million is still mine. Transfer it back to me right now. You've already ripped me off like this, how dare you take my money?"

When Yu Shao heard that she had included his ten million in the calculation, he immediately jumped out.

Qiaoqiao was instantly filled with despair. She turned her gaze to the others present and found that they were all avoiding her, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble. She suddenly wanted to laugh. She didn't know why she was so crazy as to try to create the image of a rich and beautiful woman. She could have lived a more carefree life with more than a million yuan.

She suddenly turned her gaze to Lin Xi, remembering that Lin Xi had never provoked her from the beginning, but that it was she who had been targeting her, which led to the current situation.

She was truly filled with regret. She rushed to Lin Xi and knelt down with a thud. She looked at Lin Xi with a face full of remorse, her voice choked with sobs.

"Xixi, please help me. I really know I was wrong. I was just jealous of how good-looking you are, but I realized it was pointless. I even spread rumors about you based on unfounded accusations. I deserve to die. Can you forgive me? I promise I'll stay far away from you from now on, or they won't let me off the hook."

Qiaoqiao's voice grew more and more sorrowful as she spoke, her tone trembling slightly, and her eyes were red as she looked at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi could sense that she truly felt she had made a mistake, but once the hurtful act was done, it was impossible to pretend that nothing had happened just because of a few words of apology.

"Forget about the money, after all, I paid for some of it. Your carefully crafted 'rich and beautiful' persona is none of my business, but you shouldn't have spread rumors about me from the start. So you should be held responsible for your actions, and so should you all."

Lin Xi turned to look at the people present, "You are the same. Don't think that everything will be fine once the money issue is resolved. As for whether you will be sentenced, the law will tell you. You should be familiar with the strict law, right? Don't take chances. Whether it's online or in real life, you should be responsible for what you have done and said."

Qiaoqiao's emotions, which had just calmed down, were stirred up again. She tugged at Lin Xi's sleeve and said, "Xi Xi, I've already apologized. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."

Although her tone sounded like she was being coquettish, you could still hear a subtle hint of dissatisfaction.

Lin Xi scoffed inwardly, shook off her hand, and said without any politeness, "Sorry, we're not close. If you keep bothering me, I won't pay that ten million."

Qiaoqiao originally wanted to reach out and continue pestering him, but she was so frightened that she withdrew her hand and didn't dare to say anything more.

Lin Xi took out her card and handed it to the manager. Huang Shao immediately said in a slightly obsequious tone, "Sister Xi, you're being too polite. You're Brother Ye's friend, so you're my friend too. This is my place. If I make you pay, people will laugh at me when I go out."

Lin Xi looked in Ye Jinran's direction, and seeing that he nodded, she put the card away. "Alright, then I won't be polite."

"Okay, Sister Xi, please let me know if you need anything else."

"Okay," Lin Xi replied with a light laugh.

"Did you see that? Even the young master here calls Lin Xi 'Sister Xi.' Just who is she?"

"I don't know. I think we should be more worried about the rumors. After all, Lin Xi doesn't seem like he's joking."

"What's there to worry about? I don't believe she can actually sue us. It's no big deal."

"If you don't know Lawyer Yan, I can give you a brief introduction. He's one of the top lawyers in the country. Every case he handles is successful. The person who spread the rumors in the online rumor incident a couple of days ago is still in jail," Huang Shao said sarcastically.

"Oh my god, it's true! I don't want to go to jail! I really know I was wrong, Lin Xi. Please let me go. It was all spread by them."

"Xixi, I really didn't say anything, Xixi!"

Lin Xi decided to ignore them; after all, someone would take care of them.

"Xixi, don't go yet. We really know we were wrong, and we will never do it again."

"You'd better leave these things to the police to say," Lin Xi said, turning to leave.

"Manager Lin, say something! Weren't you involved too?"

"Exactly, without your permission, how could we possibly spread this in the company's internal group? Then this whole thing wouldn't have happened."

"Yes, it's too late for you to stay out of this now."

Lin Xi stopped in her tracks when she heard the words "Manager Lin".

I'd completely forgotten about him.

Hearing their shouts, Manager Lin's face instantly turned ugly. He kept praying that Lin Xi hadn't heard them, but things didn't go as planned. The moment he saw Lin Xi stop, his heart sank to the bottom. He quickly stood up, his face bruised and swollen, and said in a rapid voice, "Lin Xi, I didn't spread rumors about you. I've just been busy lately and wasn't paying attention, which is why they took advantage of the situation. It really has nothing to do with me."

"You...have we met before?" Before Lin Xi could speak, a questioning voice came from behind her.

Looking at him, Yu Shao suddenly said, "I remember now, you're the Xiao Lin who said he wanted to send me a beautiful woman today so he could get a promotion, right? No wonder you looked familiar."

"No, no, Young Master Yu, it's all a misunderstanding," Manager Lin immediately said obsequiously, forcing a smile on his face despite the pain of his wound reopening, though it was a little frightening.

"Misunderstanding? So you think it's my fault? I misunderstood you? Is that what you mean?" Young Master Yu didn't buy into his act and directly asked back.

"No, no, it's all my fault. I had a problem with my thinking. Please forgive me, Mr. Yu." Manager Lin didn't dare to argue anymore, otherwise things would get even more complicated.

Seeing Lin Xi's icy expression as she looked at Manager Lin, Yu Shao thought to himself, "My chance to shine has finally come."

"From today onwards, you'll be a cleaner, and you're not allowed to quit. Otherwise, I'll blacklist you from the entire industry," Young Master Yu said fiercely to Supervisor Lin.

Manager Lin's face turned ashen instantly. He hurriedly dragged himself to Lin Xi's side, trying to beg for mercy.

He realized that everyone today was focused on Lin Xi.

Ye Jinran frowned slightly, and kicked him away a second before he got close.
