She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

I don't know how Han Xi did it, but by the afternoon, the matter had indeed disappeared from the internet.

At the same time, the Golden Rainbow Award-winning actress made a high-profile announcement of her secret marriage and childbirth, and netizens who were paying attention to Fang Li flocked to the actress and Wenxi Film and Television in an instant.

Fang Li tried searching for the term on various websites, but none of them showed any relevant information.

Not long after, Han Xi had to return to the company temporarily due to some business.

The only sound echoing in the large room was the television. With the matter resolved, the gloom that had been weighing on Fang Li's heart finally dissipated.

She slumped onto the sofa, her head drooping limply behind her, and let out a long sigh.

Having not slept well last night, Fang Li's eyelids began to droop soon after she relaxed.

Just as she was about to close her eyes and fall asleep, the cell phone next to her suddenly rang loudly...

"Hello." Fang Li answered without even looking.

There was a two-second silence on the other end, followed by a teasing male voice: "Did you just wake up or just finished crying? Your voice sounds so... soft."

Fang Li paused, then frowned: "Who are you?"

"Ha, I knew it, you never even saved my number." The other person scoffed and said, "You heartless little thing."

Upon hearing this, Fang Li's hard-won drowsiness came to an abrupt end.

She belatedly realized what was happening, opened her eyes, and sat up: "You are... Duan Xin's boyfriend?"

"Stop, I'm single, I have a name, and I'm not any woman's boyfriend." After saying that, he suddenly changed the subject: "Of course, if it were you, I might consider it."

"..." Fang Li gripped her phone tightly, swallowing back the curse words that had been rolling on her tongue.

She sneered, "Sir, wishful thinking is a disease, and daydreaming is a disease. I suggest you go to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible, lest your illness become incurable!"

After saying that, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he hung up the phone.

As a result, the phone rang again just two seconds after I hung up.

Fang Li picked it up and glanced at it; it was still the same number. She immediately rejected the call.

She hung up again when the other person called.

Call again, hang up again.

Fang Li called several times, but she didn't answer any of them.

After the last hang-up, there was no response for several minutes.

Fang Li stared at her phone, making sure the other party wouldn't call again, and finally breathed a sigh of relief as she moved closer to the sofa.

Just as she was drifting off to sleep, her phone vibrated in her hand with a "ding".

She gritted her teeth and impatiently opened her phone to check.

This time it's a text message:

Want to know who filmed the videos for Jin Ding Zhai? Come to Mu Lin Ju.

Fang Li sneered. This man is Duan Xin's boyfriend. How could he stab his girlfriend in the back? Who knows if there's a trap involved? Only a fool would go for it!

Besides, at this critical juncture, even though the videos online are gone, there's no guarantee that some impulsive haters will still be paying attention to her, and she certainly wouldn't go out of her way to give them ammunition against her.

Fang Li didn't see the text message. She threw her phone on the sofa, got up, and went back to her room.

...Mulinju is a private restaurant, and in the largest private room, besides Lu Jie, there were several of his cronies.

"Are you sure that woman will come? Didn't they say she's Han Xi's woman?" asked a man with medium-length hair and gold-rimmed glasses.

Someone next to him immediately laughed and said, "Don't joke around. When did Han Xi have a woman? Didn't they say he injured his manhood abroad and is now impotent? Does he have the ability to play around with women?"

"Hahaha, where did you hear that? Be careful Han Xi doesn't tear your mouth apart if he hears it."

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm not the only one saying this. Which of the scions of prominent families in the capital doesn't gossip about him behind his back? Besides, I'm just telling the truth. He's lived like a monk all these years. What else could he be but incompetent?"

Another burst of laughter erupted.

The bespectacled man continued, "Chairman Lu is really something. What's so great about Han Xi? He talks about him all the time and compares Young Master Lu to him all the time. How could Han Xi possibly compare to someone as outstanding as Young Master Lu? Chairman Lu is really getting senile."

Even after he finished speaking, the bespectacled man remained smug.

Bang!

There was a loud bang.

No one noticed when Lu Jie, who had been silent all along, stood up and walked to his side.

But by the time the sound was heard, a whole bottle of freshly opened Romanée-Conti had already bloomed on the bespectacled man's head.

Dark red wine splashed everywhere, instantly covering his face. He swayed and fell to the ground with a thud.

Lu Jie, a cigarette dangling from his lips, glanced with disgust at the wine stains spilled onto his forearm, narrowed his eyes, and forcefully stomped his foot on the man's chest, coldly saying:

"Who the hell gave you the guts to talk about my dad! A mouth is a good thing, if you don't want it anymore, I'll shut you up for free."

Lu Jie bent down and held the wine bottle with only one neck left to the man's lips, startling the man who was already dizzy.

He tried to back away by bracing himself on his arms, but Lu Jie was still stepping on him and he couldn't move at all.

The bespectacled man hurriedly begged for forgiveness: "Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu, I was wrong! I was just being cheeky, I was being stupid, I won't do it again, I'll never do it again!"

Whether it was blood or red wine, streaks of liquid trickled down his forehead and into his eyes.

He squinted uncomfortably, but dared not raise his hand to wipe his eyes.

Lu Jie lifted his toe and stepped on his neck, saying coldly, "You better hide where I am from now on. If I hear you flaunting your power in my name again..."

"No, no, I won't do it again. I'll definitely be careful with my words and actions from now on, and stay far away from Young Master Lu!"

Lu Jie kicked hard with his toe: "Get lost!"

The bespectacled man scrambled to his feet, not even bothering to pick up the pair of gold-rimmed glasses that were meant to give him a refined look, which were missing a leg and fell to the ground. He disappeared from the private room in just a few seconds.

As soon as the bespectacled man left, Lu Jie slowly sat back down, cigarette dangling from his lips.

But the atmosphere in the private room changed drastically; all of the dozen or so people had their heads down and were breathing barely.

Anyone could see that Lu Jie was in a bad mood at the moment, like a lion teetering on the edge of exploding.

With the example of the bespectacled man, who would dare to risk offending him?

At times like these, saying more will lead to more mistakes, saying less will lead to fewer mistakes, and only by remaining silent can you avoid getting into trouble.

However, while they remained silent, Lu Jie spoke out.

"Have someone clean this place up."

The small-eyed young man closest to the door quickly got up to call someone.

Lu Jie picked up his phone, glanced at it, took one last drag of his cigarette, stubbed it out in the ashtray, and said, "Who else was there at dinner that day? Call them all over."

Everyone looked at each other, wanting to ask but not daring to.

I could only lower my head and send messages to those who hadn't come.

Lu Jie picked up his phone again, opened the text message, his eyes darkened, and he suddenly sneered.

Ignore him, stand him up, that's good.

Xu Fangli, is it? Does she really think he can't do anything to her if she doesn't answer the phone or reply to messages?

Lu Jie turned off his phone and threw it on the table.

His gaze was icy.

None of the people Lu Jie wanted to provoke have escaped unscathed.
