"If you get any closer, it won't just be a simple blacklist." Ye Jinran's voice remained gentle, but a chilling aura emanated from her.

Manager Lin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and said tremblingly, "Lin Xi, Sister Xi, please, please let me go, I really didn't do anything..."

"Why are you begging me? It's like I'm dealing with you, it's all so ridiculous." Lin Xi didn't even glance at him, and said in an icy tone.

"Let's go," Lin Xi said softly, looking at the person beside her.

"I thought you would soften your heart," Ye Jinran said with a light laugh.

“One thing at a time, but those who spread rumors and slander me will not be let off the hook.”

"Okay, I understand." Ye Jinran smiled at her.

Lin Xi glanced up casually and met his eyes, which were as bright as stars. She then looked away nonchalantly.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Ye Jinran's eyes as he looked at her, but he quickly concealed it.

There's an auction tomorrow night at 7 pm, do you want to come?

"An auction? Sure."

"Okay, I'll come pick you up then."

Looking into his expectant eyes, which were strangely alluring under the light, Lin Xi swallowed and said, "Okay."

Oh no, another day of being seduced!

"it is good!"

[Ye Jinran's favorability has reached 86, which can be converted into 14 enhancement points. Subtracting the 6 enhancement points already converted, there are 8 enhancement points remaining. The current enhancement point level is -2.]

Lin Xi pouted; the debt always came back so quickly.

Immediately afterwards, a quarrel broke out.

……

"Are you going to drink or not? If you don't, you can forget about leaving." A deep female voice came from behind.

"Sister, I really can't drink. I'm allergic to alcohol. Could you please ask someone else to drink it?" A young man's voice followed.

"I want you to drink it. One cup costs ten thousand yuan."

"Sis, can I drink it for my brother?"

Lin Xi recognized the voice and walked over.

Lin Zihao? Lin Ziyi?

"You're not going to drink, huh! Then neither of you are leaving here today." A sharp voice came from the middle-aged woman.

Lin Xi looked at her adorned with gold and silver, her face twitching as she spoke, creating a strangely comical effect; however, the words she uttered were...

"What? Your establishment operates like this? Forced drinking?"

Lin Xi made a nonchalant remark, her tone devoid of emotion, but Huang Shao still sensed a hint of coldness in it.

"No, no, it must have been their subordinates acting on their own. I'll take care of it right away," Huang Shao quickly replied.

"What are you doing? When did you start forcing people to drink more?" Young Master Huang roared.

"Who are you? What business is it of yours?" the middle-aged woman said, somewhat annoyed by the interruption, her tone devoid of any politeness.

Lin Ziyi and Lin Zihao turned around upon hearing the sound.

"Sister Xi?" the two said in unison.

"you know?"

"You know him too?"

Seeing their helplessness, Lin Xi said, "Let's deal with the immediate problem first."

"Oh, oh, oh, yes, yes, yes." The two nodded in unison, like obedient children.

"Who am I?" Young Master Huang was so angry he laughed. It was probably the first time someone had spoken to him like that. He simply took out his phone, made a call, and yelled, "Get your ass over here right now!"

"Let me tell you, calling for help won't help. My cousin is the manager here, and I have connections with the Huang family. If you offend me, you'll regret it."

Huang Shao didn't respond. He felt that responding would be too much of a compliment. He tapped the back of his phone with his fingers, his whole body radiating impatience.

Lin Xi and Ye Jinran exchanged a smile, which made Huang Shao even more embarrassed. He waved his hand and said, "Call your cousin over and we'll deal with it together."

"You're really arrogant, aren't you? You want to take me down with you?" A deep voice rang out.

Everyone looked over and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and tie stride over, his face full of arrogance, as if this were his home turf.

"Young Master Huang, the people in this shop don't even recognize you," Ye Jinran said with a light laugh.

"Sigh, it's because my dad doesn't want me to be too high-profile, afraid I'll cause trouble. Only some of the older managers know about him. Him? Probably a new guy." Huang Shao explained helplessly, looking at the middle-aged man with a hint of disdain.

Ye Jinran did not respond.

The middle-aged man walked up to Huang Shao, grinned, and said arrogantly, "I heard you want to get rid of me? I'm the manager this store specially hired. Do you believe I can take care of you?"

"Really? I'll wait and see if you can walk faster than me." Young Master Huang smiled wickedly.

The middle-aged man then looked around, and when he saw Lin Xi, his eyes lit up. He pointed at her and said lewdly, "If you give me this chick, I'll consider letting you go, how about it?"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, he felt an oppressive gaze approaching. He looked up and met that gaze. A cold sweat instantly streamed down his forehead, but remembering that this was his home turf, he forced himself not to back down.

Huang Shao took a step back, thinking to himself, "Of all people to mess with, why did you have to mess with Sister Xi? You can only pray for good luck now."

"How dare you insult Sister Xi!" Lin Ziyi said angrily, her almond-shaped eyes glaring.

"You don't mind if I handle it, do you?" Ye Jinran said, her eyes still fixed on the middle-aged man.

"No problem, Brother Ye, please go ahead."

"This is hilarious! You all want to deal with me? Do you think I'm some pushover? You're all after that woman, aren't you?" the middle-aged man yelled.

"That's right, we have the Huang family backing us, do you think you can mess with us?" The middle-aged woman shouted back, looking at the middle-aged man's fearless demeanor.

"How come I didn't know you had my backing?" Young Master Huang said, looking at them as if they were idiots.

"You? That's hilarious! The Huang family is your family? How can you be so shameless?" The middle-aged man burst into laughter, then after a moment continued, "Beautiful lady, the women next to you are really no good. I may be older, but I'm good in bed, I guarantee I'll make you..."

"boom."

The middle-aged man was thrown a meter away.

"Sorry, my leg slipped," Lin Xi said calmly, noticing the surprised looks around her.

Everyone twitched their lips but remained silent.

Ye Jinran, on the other hand, fell into deep thought. He remembered that she wasn't this strong last time. How come she's so powerful now? It seems he has to work harder, otherwise he won't even be able to beat her.

"Sister Xi, you're so cool! Can I learn from you?" Lin Ziyi looked at Lin Xi with starry eyes, her fair hands clenching into fists with excitement.

Lin Xi chuckled, "You can learn with me."

"Yay! Now I can protect Sister Xi from now on!" Lin Ziyi said excitedly.

"Me too, Sister Xi, add me." Lin Zihao also joined in.

(Did any of you guess Lin Ziyi and Lin Zihao's identities?)
