The engagement was with the younger brother, but I've fallen for the older brother.

"Yes! Absolutely!"

Qin Enyu nodded hurriedly, her face streaked with tears.

Si Yimian didn't rush to reply. She picked up Qin Enyu's phone from the coffee table, turned on the recording, and casually tossed it onto the carpet.

The phone bounced on the carpet, and the camera was pointed directly at Qin Enyu's face.

"Let's film a video."

"Apologize to all the girls you slapped and stripped in the toilet."

Si Yimian paused for a moment, then continued to add.

"And the thing about me spreading rumors on variety shows that I bullied you."

"Clarify whatever you made up."

"You should clear my name in the same way you slandered me."

"The content must be sincere, the duration must be sufficient, and no detail that needs to be mentioned should be omitted."

"No editing, no dubbing, just one take."

Qin Enyu's face turned deathly pale: "You want me to publicly admit it?"

"Otherwise what?"

Si Yimian straightened up and looked down at her.

"You think kneeling down and shedding a couple of tears will make this all over?"

"Those who bully others know better than anyone else that they are doing evil."

"You just never imagined that one day you would kneel before the people you once bullied."

"I'm relatively lucky; I have a way to deal with you."

"But those girls who were bullied by you to the point of being afraid to come to school and are still undergoing psychological treatment still lack justice."

"Now that you're kneeling here saying you're willing to do anything, I'm going to make you do the thing you least want to do."

Qin Enyu's pupils contracted slightly.

"If I were to film this, my career would be over..."

"Your career?"

Si Yimian interrupted her, as if she had heard a funny joke.

"Qin Enyu, your appearance by the pool tonight has been captured by more than a dozen media outlets."

Do you think there's any point in trying to salvage your career?

"You are where you are today not because I set a trap for you, but because you were crooked from the very beginning."

"I'm just helping you drag those things that can't be seen in the light out of the darkness in your heart and let them air out in the sunlight."

"You got sunburned, that's your own fault."

"You survived the sun exposure; you're lucky."

Qin Enyu remained silent for a long time.

Kneeling hurts my knees, but my heart hurts even more.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

When I opened my eyes again, the struggle in my eyes had disappeared.

"Is that all? I just sent it?"

"Otherwise what?"

Si Yimian tilted her head and smiled in a harmless way.

"Your life is worthless, but my reputation is."

You'll have to wipe my innocence clean yourself.

Qin Enyu clenched her back teeth.

She knew she was finished.

If word gets out about tonight's events, her public image is completely ruined.

Fans will leave, endorsements will fall, and the company will sideline her.

But if she didn't film this video, Si Yimian would pursue the matter, and she would be burdened with a mountain of debt.

She cannot be in debt.

Her mother has a heart condition and couldn't handle the shock.

When faced with two evils, she chose the lesser one.

"Okay, I'll send it."

Si Yimian's dimples deepened with a smile.

"good."

Qin Enyu picked up her phone from the carpet and started recording in front of the camera without consulting her team.

She cried uncontrollably, each word dripping with blood, revealing every dirty secret about her high school days.

Si Yimian leaned back on the sofa and slowly peeled a candy and put it in her mouth.

The video was recorded for a full twelve minutes.

Qin Enyu revealed all the dirty things that happened in high school.

When Si Ningyou first entered high school, she would always sigh behind Mianmian's back, saying that no one in the family cared about her anymore after Mianmian came back.

She said Mianmian took away her room, her parents, and her friends.

Qin Enyu is dim-witted and thinks that standing up for her best friend is being righteous.

So, together with Si Ningyou, they rallied a few girlfriends to bully Si Yimian at school for a year.

Blocking toilets, slapping faces, tearing off school uniforms and filming videos, stuffing dead rats into desks, leading the isolation campaign, spreading rumors about prostitution, and forcing the original owner to suspend school for half a year.

Every single incident, every single matter, is crystal clear.

All the ideas that Si Ningyou came up with behind the scenes were implemented without fail.

How to choose a target, how to pick the right time, how to make the victim afraid to file a complaint—all of these were taught to her step by step by Si Ningyou.

Si Yimian leaned back on the sofa, listening to these truths she already knew.

But images that didn't belong to her flashed through her mind.

The little girl huddled in the corner, hugging her knees, silently enduring the beating.

When she gets home, she still smiles and says that school is great.

Those images weren't her memories, but they became incredibly clear the moment she heard Qin Enyu admit it herself.

That little girl always thought that she wasn't good enough, which was why she wasn't liked.

But Mianmian, you didn't do anything wrong.

In her heart, she whispered a sentence to the little girl who no longer existed.

Original owner baby, can you hear me?

Someone spoke up for you.

What no one believed in you or cared about back then, everyone has to hear today.

I will avenge every single injustice you have suffered.

Qin Enyu was just the first.

Next up is Si Ningyou.

After Qin Enyu finished recording, she handed over her phone, her hand still trembling.

"What do you think, will it work?"

Si Yimian took it and read it from beginning to end.

Everything that needed to be said has been said, and all the details match up perfectly.

"OK."

Si Yimian handed the phone back.

"Send it out, across all platforms, don't miss a single one."

Qin Enyu took the phone, her finger hovering over the send button, trembling violently.

"If I post it, I'm really finished."

Si Yimian stood up and patted off non-existent dust from her skirt.

"Qin Enyu, I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you."

Qin Enyu closed her eyes and pressed down.

The moment she finished sending the message, Qin Enyu felt as if all her strength had been drained away. The phone slipped from her palm, and she collapsed onto the carpet.

She knew that from now on, she would have nothing left.

Si Yimian took out her phone and refreshed the page.

The video appeared on the homepage of Qin Enyu's verified account.

Caption: [I'm sorry to everyone I've hurt.]

The comment section was instantly flooded with the first batch of viewers.

What kind of confession scene is this??

So, it was Qin Enyu herself who was bullying her?

The reversal came so fast, like a tornado.

[Si Yimian: I was just sitting at home when a pot fell from the sky, and then it flew away by itself.]

Am I the only one who noticed the best friend she mentioned? Si Ningyou?

Si Yimian casually flipped through a few articles, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

She put down her phone, bent down to pick up the velvet bag from the coffee table, and weighed it in her hand.

The shattered jade pieces jingled in the bag.

"Alright, you don't need to pay for the bracelet."

Qin Enyu breathed a sigh of relief.

Si Yimian opened the velvet bag, poured out the few pieces of jade, and examined them under the light.

Then she looked up and smiled at Qin Enyu.

"It's just a counterfeit worth a few thousand yuan, you don't need to compensate me."

After saying that, she casually threw the item into the trash can.

Qin Enyu suddenly looked up, a spark of life igniting in her eyes.

"What?"

Si Yimian tilted her head to look at her and chuckled.

"Seventy million worth of Azure Waves, and I'm wearing them to fight you?"

"Do I look like a spendthrift?"

"Or do you think my brain is filled with the Pacific Ocean, all water?"

Qin Enyu's mind went blank for three seconds, as if it had been formatted.

Then the sense of absurdity that surged from her very bones overwhelmed her.

She knelt down, recorded a video, and publicly executed herself for this bracelet.

So it turned out to be fake?

"Si Yimian!!!"

Qin Enyu screamed, her voice shrill.

"You're kidding me!!!"

"Yeah, I played along."

Si Yimian nodded calmly, her expression frank.

"What's wrong?"
