Within a few hours of Chen Jiazhi bursting into tears during her livestream, the incident had already surged to the top of the trending topics list.

Her broadcast already commanded a massive audience, and coupled with the fact that Chen Jiazhi was currently an internet personality heavily scrutinized by netizens, the aftermath unfolded swiftly. No sooner had she wept on screen than netizens began taking screenshots and screen recordings, spreading the matter far and wide.

Comments flooded in from netizens:
"Wuwuwu, I knew it! The friendship between girls is the most precious thing in the world!"

"In order to marry into a wealthy family, Mother Bai abandoned her, bought her a house, and sent her money at regular intervals, but never once truly cared for her."

"Aren't you afraid that hurting them will break Yangzhi's heart, and aren't you afraid of breaking my heart?" Yu Wanwan demanded with a piercing question.

When Liang Jinghui walked over, he found them still standing there, though he had no idea what they were discussing, and a sudden smile broke across his face.

His voice was deep and resonant, imbued with a reassuring charm that washed over Ye Linghui's aching heart like warm ripples, gradually restoring her to her former self.

Gu Liuxi gasped in shock, instinctively dodging the direct impact of the towering column of water as she descended into the sea. Yet this sea monster seemed entirely devoid of weaknesses; it abruptly launched itself out of the water, its gaping maw spewing countless spheres of light that rained down upon the ocean's surface.

Yanyan told her that outsiders had indeed come to look for companion girls over the past couple of days, but venturing out to host clients came with exceptionally high demands. Fearing complications, very few of the girls were willing to take on the job.

That afternoon, after an oppressively gloomy spell, the weather finally welcomed its first ray of sunlight—dazzling, brilliant, and pleasantly warm.

Selecting actors was traditionally the absolute prerogative of the director. Combined with Wen Yeqiong's influence and formidable reputation, assistant directors normally had no say in the matter whatsoever. Yet here this man was, entrusting such a monumental task as casting entirely to her?

She hurriedly dropped the task at hand, picked up her phone to dial a number for Su Lili, and rushed out the door.

Had she not been desperate to find a suitable candidate, she never would have sought her out, let alone endured her endless nagging the entire time.

A man brimming with vitality and overflowing energy versus a man reduced to a limp jellyfish after excessive indulgence—the combat effectiveness of the two was worlds apart, and the limits of their physical exertion differed vastly as well.

"Good sir, I deeply sympathize with your plight! But you must also be well aware of your standing. For the safety of Xixiang, I am truly sorry. Please forgive my ruthlessness, for I cannot accept you all!" Liu Wu shouted with a helpless expression from atop the walls of Shibao City.

By now, she even suspected that the doctor's medical skills were simply inadequate, and she resolved to find out which hospital could accommodate Jingxian and arrange for her transfer.

Meanwhile, Wu Liang was inspecting the staff work areas for the hotel's management, accompanied closely by Silou.

A servant of Qingxue had just come to report to him that Third Uncle贺 had discovered a wooden box resting on the main beam of the estate's main hall, and respectfully requested his presence to inspect it.

"Bai Gu, I hate you so much." Hiding behind Bai Gu, Jane Grey gripped his arm tightly with all her might.

Realizing his scheme had been exposed, Ma Qian fled headlong from the bathhouse, racing up to the eastern ramparts to direct the soldiers on the city walls to open fire upon the town.

The doctors in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department simply could not fathom why this man, who usually strutted around in arrogant tyranny relying on the fact that his father was the vice president, had suddenly chosen to resign.

Zhao Feng hurriedly dodged to the side, and upon narrowing his eyes to take a closer look, he realized that the stone-balled beast had merely shed a single layer of its outer skin.

When an avatar merges back into its primary body, all the experiences and sensations it endured are fully projected into the host's mind, allowing Xing Zenyue to understand instantly everything that had transpired just moments before.

Hearing this, Zhou Tangtang seemed to comprehend in an instant why Sister Weiwei was wearing such an expression.

Sui Chi's gaze remained fixed squarely upon Borjin, only occasionally glancing toward the Crimson Shield Mercenary Corps trapped within the star formation. At present, the attention of the King's Mercenary Corps was entirely focused in that direction as well, for Xihe's safety was their paramount concern. Unwittingly, the Crimson Shield found themselves presented with an ideal opportunity to escape.
