After Bai Moli finished speaking, no one answered for a long time.
When she looked up again, she found only an empty corridor.
Shen Xubai had left without even a trace.
Bai Moli stomped her foot in anger.
Ugly man, acting so aloof!
Back then, he went to great lengths to please her, helped her pay off her debts, and helped her debut, all because he wanted to pursue her.
Hmph, too bad, he was too ugly!
She, Bai Moli, was a looks-oriented person and had to find someone handsome.
Thinking of the female lead role she had lost to Jiang Xing, Bai Moli felt a sharp pang of heartache.
She thought about it and felt it wasn't a total loss, as she still had the third prince of Lu's Entertainment as a backup.
Bai Moli dialed Lu Ang's number, deliberately making her choked sobs sound soft and trembling, "Teacher Lu Ang, if you don't act, then I won't either. I'll stand with you and absolutely will not cooperate with that ugly monster Shen Xubai!"
Lu Ang's heart was instantly pierced.
The two resonated on the same frequency, felt mutual appreciation, confided in each other, and the more they talked, the more they were convinced that the other was their kindred spirit!
...
Fang Wanshan asked for the address.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ningxi also had to go to the Yan family, so they were going the same way.
"Get in the car, I'm also going to wish Grandpa Yan a happy birthday."
In the car.
Fang Wanshan took out his mobile phone.
He played a video, which was a video from the obstetrics ward floor of Chen An Hospital.
This hospital was also one of Fang Wanshan's properties, and he had waived Shen Ningxi's medical fees for the past few years.
In the video, doctors and nurses were extremely busy, and the background sound was the wailing cries of infants.
Just by listening to the sound, one could tell something was wrong.
"For the past few days, every day after eight in the evening, the babies in the obstetrics ward would cry and fuss uncontrollably, no matter how they were comforted. The situation is very strange."
Fang Wanshan briefly explained the situation.
Then he asked for Shen Ningxi's opinion, "Ningxi, can this problem be solved?"
Shen Ningxi answered without any hesitation, "It can be solved. The evil aura in your hospital is superficial, scattered and not concentrated, it hasn't formed into a climate yet, and it's very easy to remove."
Uncle Fang was startled, "Ah, you know?"
Shen Ningxi, "Yes, I've known for a long time."
...
There was silence in the car for a while before Fang Wanshan chuckled, "Then why didn't you tell Uncle Fang?"
Shen Ningxi asked seriously, "If there wasn't a problem, how would you have believed me?"
Uncle Fang: ...
After a while, Fang Wanshan laughed in an old-fashioned way, "Good, good, that makes sense. Then I'll have to trouble Master Ningxi to handle it this time!"
...
They arrived at the Yan family's residence.
The driver first took Fang Wanshan to the main building in the back.
Then he circled back to take Shen Ningxi to the front hall.
Shen Ningxi pushed open the door and was about to get out of the car when she bumped into the person she least wanted to see.
She saw the Lu family mother and daughter, dressed in exquisite fine clothes, appearing at the doorway arm in arm.
Lin Wanhui frowned, "Shen Ningxi! What are you doing here!"
But Shen Ningxi didn't answer.
She just glanced at them, then turned away and hid back in the car.
Lin Wanhui: ???
That brat finally realized she had no face to see anyone?
...
Lin Wanhui couldn't understand.
Lu Xinyue, however, recognized it clearly.
She shook Lin Wanhui's arm and whispered, "Mom, this is the old man I told you about who is keeping my sister! I recognize this car, it was the same car at the Shen family's last time!"
Seeing that someone was backing Shen Ningxi.
Lu Xinyue firmly believed that the two of them must have an improper relationship.
Lu Xinyue said with a helpless expression, "Sister must be afraid that we'll recognize her, so she hid back in the car."
Lin Wanhui stared at the Rolls-Royce and asked doubtfully, "Isn't this Director Fang Wanshan's car from next door? Are you saying Shen Ningxi has hooked up with Director Fang?"
Lu Xinyue had just returned to the Lu family.
She hadn't noticed who lived next door yet.
However, she was sure of the title, "That's right, Third Brother calls him Director Fang."
Lin Wanhui scoffed upon hearing this, with a mix of disdain and envy, "That little slut, she's quite capable, to have climbed up to Director Fang as a big backer."
Meanwhile, Shen Ningxi, who was in the car.
She had no idea how the mother and daughter outside were cursing her; she was busy calling Shen Xubai.
"Third Brother, don't come over yet. Lu Xinyue is here, you absolutely cannot let your face be stolen again, or your character in the drama won't be restored. Go find the nearest graveyard, dig up some soil from any grave mound within half a meter, mix it with water to form a paste, and apply it to your face."
If she said his character wouldn't be restored, Shen Xubai might not care.
But if she said his character in the drama wouldn't be restored, that was absolutely unacceptable!
Shen Xubai was driving himself over.
The entrance to the Yan family's residence was already in sight.
He stepped on the brakes and sharply turned the steering wheel.
The navigation system directed him to the nearest cemetery...
...
After hanging up the phone, Shen Ningxi still didn't get out of the car.
She said to the driver, "Please drive me around the yard once."
It wasn't obvious in the car earlier.
But as soon as she got out of the car, Shen Ningxi felt waves of evil qi.
The evil qi wasn't strong, but it came from all directions, as if the house was filled with evil objects.
Shen Ningxi wanted to find the source.
But the Yan family's large estate was just too big.
There was even a river introduced into the yard in the middle. If she had to walk, she probably wouldn't make it to the banquet today.
The driver obeyed and started the car.
Shen Ningxi didn't think much of it, but the mother and daughter watching her from outside the car thought much more!
"Mom, wasn't I right? Look at her hiding and sneaking around, she's clearly someone who can't show her face!"
"Heh, dirty thing. At such a young age, not walking the right path, only relying on men, there will be a backlash one day!"
...
Twenty minutes later.
Shen Ningxi entered the banquet hall.
Almost all the women were in this hall, gathered in small groups, chatting and exchanging pleasantries.
Shen Ningxi glanced at her watch; it wasn't even five o'clock yet, so Yan Jingci probably hadn't arrived.
She went to the buffet area, filled her plate, and strolled around the hall while eating.
As she walked to the antique grandfather clock on the west side of the hall, Shen Ningxi stopped and examined it carefully.
She was looking intently.
Suddenly, a strong force came from behind her, and someone heavily bumped her back shoulder.
Shen Ningxi's plate tilted, and the small cake on it spilled out, landing precisely on the antique grandfather clock.
"Oh dear, Sister, how could you be so careless!"
A startled cry came from behind her.
All eyes in the banquet hall were drawn over.
Lu Xinyue stood behind her with an innocent expression, looking at the grandfather clock with concern, "Sister, that's Grandpa Yan's antique collection, how could you have dirtied it!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Ningxi with concern.
Who was this young girl? She was dressed so plainly, not like a rich young lady. If she had snuck in and dirtied Old Master Yan's antique, what would happen?
Shen Ningxi didn't pay attention to the people around her.
She just stared down at the empty plate in her hand.
Her expression was gloomy and somber.
After a while, she raised her eyes with a cold face, then in a flash, she flipped the plate onto Lu Xinyue's face.
"Wasting food? I'll teach you how to be a person today."
