"Wait for my news, but I can’t make this person’s decision. If he doesn’t co, what will you do?"
"How will we know without trying?" Even if there’s a slim chance, she will try her best.
Allen knew her character well. Back in school, she once spent two days and nights in the lab with human specins just to hone her knife skills. She was truly insane. What else could she not do?
Another ti, he rembered taking her to a night club—of course, he tricked her into going. Otherwise, she would never set foot in such a place. The local gangsters caused a disturbance and several people died. She faced the dead without flinching, even having the audacity to examine the fatal wounds. That was when he realized she had an extraordinarily strong psyche.
After hanging up the phone, Allen leaned against the headboard for a while. The woman who was already dressed leaned against the doorway, flicking her long hair, and gave him a seductive wink.
Allen directly pulled out a wad of US Dollars from his wallet and tossed it to her.
The woman picked up each note, raised her eyebrow at him, "Hey, nice skills, looking forward to next ti."
A generous man with good performance, what woman wouldn’t love that?
Allen sneered, just a hookup, don’t take it too seriously.
After the door closed, Allen got up to take a shower. Coming out while drying his wet hair, he sipped a glass of red wine, and stared at his phone in deep thought before making a call.
The call was soon connected, and a low, sexy man’s voice ca through the phone. Just hearing his voice, one could imagine how flamboyant he must be.
"You calling voluntarily? Did the sun rise from the west?"

"Chengcheng, look, sothing happened." Xue Chengcheng had just finished filming a sanitary napkin comrcial and was walking down from the set when Ah Ning handed her the phone.
"Ji Yunya is in big trouble. Her father’s company is going bankrupt soon, and all the shareholders’ and residents’ investnts are going down the drain. They can’t find Yun Shen, so they’re pinning everything on Ji Yunya. This ti, she’s really in deep trouble."
Xue Chengcheng skimd through the news, curling her lips disdainfully. Heaven had eyes, finally giving her this day.
"Why does her family have so many problems? Constant drama... Her na has never left the entertainnt headlines; with such popularity, if she joined the entertainnt industry, what would be left for other female stars?"
"It’s such a pity, she’s still so young." Xue Chengcheng showed an expression of pity, but deep down she was overjoyed, almost wishing she could dance in celebration.
"But why should she repay her father’s debts? It’s so unfair, poor her, being dragged down by her father." Ah Ning sighed.
Xue Chengcheng laughed indifferently, her smile tinged with cynicism: "Haven’t you heard the saying? The daughter’s responsible for the father’s debts. What’s so unfair about it? Enjoying the halo of the wealthy cos with a price. There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world."
Ah Ning glanced at her, sensing that her tone was drenched in sarcasm, which was uncharacteristic of Chengcheng.
Xue Chengcheng coughed dryly and looked away.
But Ah Ning quickly added, "She has a luxurious estate left by her grandfather, worth tens of billions. If she sells it, even a fraction of the money would be enough to cover the debts. With that money, she’d still be a wealthy little lady. We can only envy her."
Xue Chengcheng choked, clutching a tissue fiercely, wishing it were Ji Yunya’s face she could shred to pieces.
Why do so people have such good fortune, having everything from birth, while others like them might never surpass her even after a lifeti of striving, because they lost at the starting line?
"Chengcheng, what’s wrong?" Ah Ning asked curiously, sensing sothing off with Xue Chengcheng.
Xue Chengcheng grabbed her phone and ran off: "Tell the director I need to use the restroom."
The restroom on set was temporarily built with asbestos tiles and open to the sky, offering zero security. Hence, every ti she used it, Ah Ning had to accompany her. She forgot this ti, but she was just finding an excuse to get rid of Ah Ning; she didn’t actually intend to use the restroom.
Leaning against the asbestos tiles with her phone, she gritted her teeth while reading the news.
Logging in with her alternate account, she posted nurous remarks slandering Ji Yunya. Still unsatisfied, her comnts grew increasingly vicious until Ji Yunya’s fans discovered them and retaliated with even harsher words, making her so angry she wanted to smash her phone.
