Shen Nian saw Pei Xiana again four days after the live broadcast ended.

Exactly three days, no more, no less.

In the past three days, Gu's legal team has filed lawsuits against hundreds of netizens who were most severely involved in the online harassment of Shen Nian.

They will face criminal charges.

Many people are now crying and leaving messages on Shen Nian's account begging for her forgiveness, but most people still firmly believe that Pei Xiana is innocent and that it is impossible for her to raise a ghost.

Shen Nian and Pei Xiana met at the banquet hall of the Tiannan Mountain villa. Sitting next to her were Gu Qiwen, Gu Yuncheng, and Gu's chief legal counsel.

Wearing a hat and mask, and sporting a belly that looked like she was ten months pregnant, Pei Xiana walked into the living room accompanied by her agent.

Seeing her like this, almost everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Shen Nian pointed to the soft chair opposite her and said calmly, "Sit down."

Pei Xiana sat down, looking at Shen Nian and Gu Qiwen beside her with some disbelief.

"...Mr. Gu? What are you doing here?"

The entertainment industry is a place that values ​​capital and connections the most, so it's impossible for Pei Xiana not to know Gu Qiwen.

But in the past, she had only caught a glimpse of Mr. Gu from afar at some high-end business banquets held by certain brands.

Of course, there are also many people in the entertainment industry who want to get into his bed and achieve great success.

Pei Xiana had also thought about it.

After all, Gu Qiwen is even more handsome than any male celebrity in the entertainment industry.

These people, despite their best efforts, couldn't even touch the hem of Gu Qiwen's clothes.

At that moment, he was sitting next to a small-time online streamer, peeling an orange for her with the utmost tenderness.

"So your backer is President Gu."

Pei Xiana murmured, momentarily forgetting the strange appearance on her body.

Shen Nian gave her a half-smile: "You've been to Thailand?"

Pei Xiana felt only a sense of powerlessness, as if she had been seen through.

The day after discovering the incident involving the Kumanthong, she flew to Thailand.

However, the shaman was powerless to help her.

"I told you, you can't control four Kuman Thong."

In despair, she flew back to China overnight.

However, as soon as she got off the plane, she began to experience severe morning sickness.

In just one night, her belly grew to the size of a ten-month pregnancy.

On the third day, her agent invited a famous master from Jinghai to come to her place.

But they were powerless to do anything about it.

Perhaps someone in the Xuanmen sect can solve her problem.

But no matter how popular Pei Xiana becomes, she's still just an actress.

Even a family like the Gu family can't get in touch with the Xuanmen's influence, so how could a mere celebrity possibly get involved with the Xuanmen?

Most importantly, she offended Shen Nian. The higher-ups of the Xuanmen are all shrewd people and would not risk the safety of a powerful figure like Shen Nian, whose cultivation level is unknown, to save a female star who has no connection to them.

After going around in circles, Pei Xiana had no choice but to turn to Shen Nian.

"Can you save me?"

She looked at Shen Nian, her voice trembling.

"Oh?"

Shen Nian tilted her head: "But didn't you say I was a liar?"

"I was wrong, Master! I was really wrong! Please save me!"

Pei Xiana was in tears.

Now she was pale and had a terrifyingly large pregnant belly, looking both pitiful and frightening.

Shen Nian glanced at her: "I can save you."

"But are you willing to agree to my conditions?"

"Whatever amount of money you want, I'll give it to you!"

Do I look like I'm short of money?

Shen Nian said casually.

"Then... what do you want?"

"It's very simple."

"I want you to release another clarification video, tell the whole truth, and apologize to me."

"After all, your fans have been criticizing me for days. It's not unreasonable for me to ask for an apology, is it?"

Pei Xiana was shocked: "You're going to ruin me."

Apologizing and admitting that Shen Nian was right would also mean admitting to all the shady things she had done.

Shen Nian found this somewhat amusing: "Did I ruin you?"

"Didn't you ruin yourself?"

"Besides, even if I save your life, do you think you can ever return to Starlight?"

"Is that not allowed?"

"Of course not."

"These brats have drained your energy and luck. Even if I save your life, you will be very different from before."

"Think it through yourself. Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"

Pei Xiana was silent for a moment: "Am I definitely going to die?"

Shen Nian glanced at her prominent belly: "What do you think?"

"Your belly will get bigger and bigger, and eventually, your belly will burst."

The little devil will crawl out of the mother's body and then devour her.

Pei Xiana's manager glanced at her, a look of disappointment in his eyes: "Xiana, you're so foolish! Why did you do something like this, and why did you keep it from me? You..."

"If you encounter any difficulties, whether it's resources or anything else, the company and I will help you!"

Pei Xiana sneered, "If I hadn't begged Kumanthong, I'd probably still be a stunt double or extra in some third-rate film crew."

"You'll help me? If I were some nobody, a nobody actor, you and the company wouldn't have signed me in the first place!"

The agent's expression wasn't very pleasant after being rebuked like that, but she still looked at Shen Nian and said, "Master, please help Xia Na. Save her life no matter what. We'll agree to your request!"

"Who said I was going to agree!"

Pei Xiana screamed, "I'd rather die than release that damn clarification video!"

Her image is more precious than her life.

She could not accept the disappointed looks in her fans' eyes, nor could she accept that anyone knew her success came from Southeast Asian sorcery.

"Let's go. I refuse to believe that no one but you can save me."

"what ever."

Shen Nian waved her hand: "Take care, and don't bother seeing me out."

Pei Xiana stood up angrily, her tone now laced with a threat: "Master Shen, you've been getting a lot of flak from my fans these past few days, haven't you?"

"If you don't help me, do you believe I can make them keep insulting you!"

The agent inwardly cried out in dismay.

Pei Xiana has been pampered and flattered in the past few years, which has made her arrogant and intolerant of anyone disobeying her in the slightest.

But has she forgotten...?

The president of Gu's Group was still sitting behind Shen Nian.

This Master Shen is not someone they can afford to offend.

For the Gu family, crushing a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry is no different than crushing an ant.

Before Shen Nian could speak, Gu Yuncheng was already furious.

He smashed the celadon teacup in his hand and cursed, "Just because I gave you a little kindness doesn't make you think you're something special!"

"It's a blessing you've accumulated over many lifetimes that my master is willing to save you, and yet you turn around and threaten us."

"Chutian Entertainment, right? I remember I have shares in this entertainment company. Do you believe I can sell those shares at a low price right now and short your company?"

He's just a bit better-tempered than the average second-generation rich kid.

But that doesn't mean anyone can treat someone he respects that way in front of him.

The agent's face turned pale: "Second Young Master, that's not what we meant."

He yanked Pei Xiana hard: "Apologize to Master Shen! Then go back and release the clarification video!"

"Pei Xiana, you need to think this through. The company can promote you or it can freeze you out. If you cause problems with the company's stock price, President Lin and the others will make you wish you were dead."

"Even if you don't want to clarify, I will still use your account to publish all your itinerary and photos from the past few days."

If it was a former agent who sought help for Pei Xiana out of consideration for their years of working together.

Now he's speaking entirely for the company's benefit.

"Pei Xiana, look at yourself! You dare look in the mirror? Who would recognize you on the street now? You should be grateful that Master Shen was willing to save you!"

Shen Nian watched a good dog-eat-dog show, clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Fantastic!"
