Cry louder, I can't hear you.

Before Yun Qiao could speak, he suddenly hung up the phone.

He didn't even finish his sentence; it was clearly intentional.

Yun Qiao stood there, holding her phone, stunned for a long time, still unable to come to her senses.

What did Shen Suwei just say?

Are Li Ruoyan and Shen Shiyu dating?

How is that possible?

The original storyline only depicted a love triangle between three people; it didn't mention that Shen Shiyu would date Li Ruoyan.

Moreover, if Shen Shiyu and Li Ruoyan are really dating, then why did Chi Zhou appear on the island last time?

Could it be that Chi Zhou is a mistress? Did Shen Shiyu cheat on Li Ruoyan?

Yun Qiao shuddered suddenly, shook her head, and refused to let herself think about such an outrageous guess.

Shen Suwei must have lied to her.

Yun Qiao put her phone back in her pocket, turned around, and was about to leave the stairwell when her gaze inadvertently shifted, and she looked up to see the person she had just been talking about.

Yun Qiao was startled and almost twisted her ankle.

"you--"

Li Ruoyan stood on a flight of stairs one floor higher than hers, not knowing how long she had been standing there.

He was lost in thought when he heard the noise and looked at Yun Qiao.

His gaze was somewhat complicated.

Yun Qiao didn't know what his look meant, but remembering that she had just mentioned his name, she wondered if he had heard her...

Yun Qiao was still hoping that he had just arrived and hadn't heard anything, but Li Ruoyan quickly spoke up, shattering her illusion.

"Do you know Shen Shiyu?"

Yun Qiao paused slightly, then quickly accepted reality and nodded, "Mm."

"What is your relationship with Shen Shiyu?"

How so?

Shen Shiyu doesn't remember her at all. From Shen Shiyu's perspective, she is her cousin Shen Qing's fiancée.

Yun Qiao hesitated for a moment, then answered cautiously:

"I am her cousin's fiancée."

Li Ruoyan's gaze paused slightly, as if in surprise.

I don't know what he was thinking, but he didn't press me on that point; he just nodded.

Before leaving, he paused, seemingly lost in thought:

"Shen Shiyu and I have broken up."

Yun Qiao's eyes widened slightly, and she blurted out instinctively, "You two actually dated?"

He frowned, seemingly lost in thought, his expression turning grim, and when he spoke again, his tone was cold:

"You and Shen Suwei are very close?"

Why are you suddenly bringing up Shen Suwei?

Yun Qiao was puzzled for a moment, but then quickly realized that it must be because of Shen Shiyu.

"I'm Shen Suwei's cousin's fiancée, of course I know him."

Li Ruoyan frowned and gave her a deep look.

Their conversation just now clearly indicated that their relationship was more than just a simple one.

Shen Suwei, that madman, would never speak to anyone in that tone. Nor would he laugh after someone insults him.

Not to mention, this woman is his cousin's fiancée...

Yunqiao.

It's strange, why does this name make him feel so uncomfortable whenever he hears it?

He couldn't help but look up at her face again.

It was an unfamiliar face, very pretty, probably in her early twenties. Judging from her clothes and appearance, she must come from a well-off family.

He had never seen it.

But why do I have such a strange feeling about this face and this name?

The voice sounded very familiar...

"Yunqiao?"

"Um?"

"Is this your name?"

Yun Qiao looked up at him.

Judging from Li Ruoyan's reaction, she probably didn't recognize her as the person who rear-ended him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so calm.

"right."

"I am Li Ruoyan." He looked at her.

Yun Qiao was slightly taken aback, not quite understanding what his sudden self-introduction meant, but she still politely replied, "Hello."

Li Ruoyan's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Yun Qiao looked at him suspiciously. "You have something to say?"

He pressed his lips together, his brows furrowed tightly, stared at her for a long time, and finally shook his head, "No."

Without even saying goodbye, he turned and went upstairs.

Yun Qiao blinked, somewhat puzzled, but didn't linger. She quickly opened the fire door and left the stairwell.

Hearing the door being opened and closed, Li Ruoyan's steps slowed down as he looked downstairs.

The stairwell was empty.

Actually, he wanted to ask her why she suddenly told Shen Suwei that she wanted to see him.

For the past three years, he has been targeted by Shen Suwei.

Shen Suwei inexplicably cut off all his resources, forced him to date Shen Shiyu, and even shamelessly plotted to have him and Shen Shiyu caught in bed together by the media.

His career was almost completely ruined.

Forced into a corner, he had no choice but to enter the adult entertainment industry and act in BL (Boys' Love) adaptations...

He had been wondering all along what he had done to offend Shen Suwei.

But just now, he felt as if he had found the answer.

When that woman spoke to Shen Suwei, Shen Suwei acted like a completely different person.

This was the first person he had discovered who could elicit emotional responses from Shen Suwei...

Is it because of her?

But what kind of relationship could he have with Yun Qiao?

His mind was in a mess; he couldn't figure it out at all.

When his agent called, he had been sitting in the stairwell for more than ten minutes in a daze.

"Where have you been? The test results are in, it's time to go."

"it is good."

"I just looked at the report. You're fine, just a little tired. How about I give you a break for half a month?"

"it is good."

Should we take a two-week break?

Li Ruoyan turned to look in the direction where the woman had disappeared, her gaze deepening slightly.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea for revenge against Shen Suwei came to mind.

……

"You unfilial daughter, where have you been for so long?!"

As soon as Yun Qiao entered the ward, Yun Zhenxing threw an apple at her. If she hadn't reacted quickly and dodged it in time, she would have been hit on the head.

"I'll go and consult with the doctor about your condition."

"Hmph, you better be!"

Yun Zhenxing was annoyed.

Upon suddenly learning that his leg was useless, he was in an extremely bad mood and just wanted to find a reason or excuse to vent his anger.

Yunqiao was his outlet for venting his anger.

"Were you dead last night? Why didn't you find out sooner that your mother and I had fallen down the stairs?!"

"...Dad, I didn't expect you to go out at 3 a.m.."

"Are you deaf? I was yelling so loudly, why didn't you come out?!"

"Dad, you know how well the house is soundproofed. The maids on the first floor didn't hear anything either."

"You dare talk back to me?!"

Yun Zhenxing was about to throw an apple at her again.

Just as Yun Qiao was about to hide, the door behind her opened, and a youthful voice rang out:

"You're all worn out, so take a break. Don't hurt your back later."

Yun Qiao turned around and saw her younger brother in this world, Yun Yang.

According to the information the system had given her, Yunyang was currently 17 years old.

He doesn't like living at home and has always lived on his own.

He guessed someone called him this morning saying that Yun Zhenxing and Ni Ping were hospitalized, so he rushed back from school.

"You're my sister?"

Yunyang looked Yunqiao up and down.

"It's quite pretty."

Yun Qiao rolled her eyes at him in her heart, not wanting to talk to him.

But Yunyang didn't care. He turned to look at Yun Zhenxing.

"Hey, old man, look at you now, your legs are useless, and my mother is in such a state. What are we going to do about the family business? I'm only seventeen years old, and I haven't even graduated from high school yet. I can't do part-time work while studying."

Yun Zhenxing's face turned green with anger at Yun Yang's words. "You unfilial son, get out of here!"

"I can leave, but what about my living expenses? Will my family go bankrupt? I was planning to treat my friends to a party at Genting Hotel at the end of the month. Oh, and I recently got a girlfriend who only loves my money. If she finds out I'm bankrupt, I might get dumped."

Yun Zhenxing: "Get out!!!"
