After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 582: Adding Fuel to Fire! (3)

Xu Jianian’s hand trembled as he dialed Lin Wansu’s number. “Hello, Susu, I have a favor to ask of you,” he said with a shaky voice.

Lin Wansu was filled with regret, blaming herself for asking for a date with Xu Jianian at such a critical time, which led to his downfall.

She reproached herself, saying, “Jianian, whatever it is, I’ll help you with everything.”

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Jianian suggested, “I was thinking of going to the Lin family, would that be possible?”

“Of course,” Lin Wansu immediately agreed. “Let’s go now. My dad will surely help us. Even if we exit the industry, we’ll have nothing to worry about financially.”

Xu Jianian breathed a sigh of relief and managed a smile, “Okay, I’ll come over now.”

The internet was still abuzz with criticism.

The top ten trending topics were all related to Xu Jianian.

Bai Jinxi, looking at the hot search on Weibo, finally let out a sigh of relief.

“You’ve been distracted since yesterday,” LI Yanchen remarked from across her, his voice cold and deep. “What’s wrong?”

“I’ve always had this issue with heart palpitations,” Bai Jinxi replied with a pursed lip smile. “It’s not a big deal. I got scared by a dog yesterday.”

LI Yanchen nodded, “And your brother? Still no contact?”

Bai Jinxi’s heart tightened, and she shook her head, “Perhaps he’s climbed to a higher social circle and thinks it’s normal not to include me.”

“Higher social circle?” LI Yanchen chuckled. “Does he even know what that means?”

Bai Jinxi replied softly, “It can’t be helped. We see things differently.”

Yesterday, when a love scandal involving a top-tier celebrity with 50 million followers broke on Weibo, she thought it was her affair with Su Yang that had been exposed.

Indeed, Su Yang was a perfect boyfriend.

While abroad, he worked to pay for her tuition and even shielded her from unwanted advances.

But she couldn’t stand the impoverished lifestyle and had run back to her country.

The Bai family was inconspicuous in Sijiu city, and it was by chance that she met LI Yanchen and started a relationship with him.

However, Bai Jinxi didn’t expect Su Yang to return to the country and gradually rise to the top of the celebrity ranks.

She felt a tinge of regret.

But after several comparisons, LI Yanchen still seemed the better choice.

Bai Jinxi looked at Su Yang’s latest Weibo post and pursed her lips.

Su Yang had been abroad for the past few years. How had he become so close to Si Fuqing?

Even she could realize that the post Su Yang had made about “fortunate to meet, fortunate to reunite” was not about her, but Si Fuqing.

Her heart felt uncomfortably blocked, struggling to breathe.

“President LI,” the assistant approached. “Chairman Lin is available now. He’s asking for you.”

LI Yanchen wiped his hands and stood up, “I’ve been busy these days. Feel free to do anything.”

Bai Jinxi nodded obediently, “Yanchen, don’t overwork yourself.” LI Yanchen nodded and left the restaurant.

The assistant opened the car door for him, and he got in.

Thirty minutes later, he arrived at the Lin family resident.

LI Yanchen squinted his eyes, “Who are those two?”

The assistant looked up, “The woman is a distant niece of Chairman Lin, and the man looks familiar, like a top celebrity.”

LI Yanchen showed little interest, “Let’s wait. Let them sort out their family matters first.”

Lin Wansu, intending to sneak in, was unexpectedly caught by Lin Bojian.

She attempted a forced smile, “Uncle, I…”

“You’re trying to use her to enter Sijiu city’s elite circles?” Lin Bojian didn’t look at her, his gaze sharp. “It’s not impossible. The opportunity is closer than you think.”

Xu Jianian looked up in astonishment, “Mr. Lin, you—”

“But what were you thinking, being so bold as to use Miss Si as a shield?”
