Just as Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen were chatting, Chu Yin received a message back from Sang Li.
"Don’t worry, it’s nothing."
"Did your family say anything to you?" Chu Yin asked.
"Yes."
"Ah? Should I explain it?"
Chu Yin was worried that her feud with Chu Wu would implicate Sang Li.
After a while, Sang Li replied.
"They asked why I didn’t tell the family about having a love interest, told me to learn how to pursue women better, and not let the opportunity slip through my fingers like last time."
"..."
Hearing such words from a dignified, traditional family seemed like a dream.
Chu Yin looked at the message three or four times before believing it was indeed from Sang Li.
Suddenly, she understood why Gong Chen and Sang Li could still be friends despite being former rivals in love.
Back then, Chu Yin watched as an observer at the rivalry between Sang Ran and Lin Zhiyi.
She truly couldn’t understand why Sang Ran was so malicious in her last moments, and why Lin Zhiyi let her die with dignity in the end.
It seemed that children raised in such a family atmosphere weren’t inherently bad.
"Frightened?" Sang Li asked.
"No, it’s just that your family is so nice, I thought they might force you into a marriage alliance or make you cut ties early."
"Though indeed there are a few unfriendly ones, most of them are good, like my dad, so don’t worry."
"Why would I worry?"
"Every ugly wife has to meet the in-laws."
Sang Li was now speaking so directly.
Chu Yin put down her phone, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Lin Zhiyi noticed and asked, "Chu Yin, what’s wrong? Is your foot hurting?"
"No, where were we in our conversation just now?" Chu Yin quickly returned to the topic.
Lin Zhiyi said, "I told Third Young Master that your sister is quite composed; the netizens have been hounding her account, and she still hasn’t responded."
Chu Yin picked up her phone again to check Chu Wu’s account.
It was lively.
But Chu Wu made no moves.
Clearly, she was thinking of a strategy.
Chu Yin felt a vague unease, "My sister has great psychological resilience; she can make herself seem like the victim in any wrongdoing. I’m worried she might take advantage of the situation."
Lin Zhiyi said, "Are you worried she’ll neither admit nor deny but instead use this matter to boost her own fame?"
Chu Yin nodded.
Lin Zhiyi recalled Chu Wu’s behavior; she was indeed capable of doing so.
But Gong Chen said, "Isn’t that a good thing?"
Lin Zhiyi thought Gong Chen was again being petty towards Sang Li, fearing peace of any kind.
"Third Young Master."
"I mean, Sang Li isn’t foolish; such obvious things wouldn’t escape him. This fallback is clearly something he intentionally left for Chu Wu," Gong Chen explained.
"He’s..."
"Chu Wu is just one of the targets; the bigger target is Bai Hui behind her. The more successful Chu Wu gets, the more Bai Hui invests in her, and the higher they stand, the harder the fall," Gong Chen said.
Lin Zhiyi understood, "People like Chu Wu can become rabid when cornered. Didn’t Mo Xuyao and others almost get harmed by her before?"
Chu Yin felt at ease.
"So, Mr. Sang had long thought this through. My sister is especially gullible with things related to vanity, especially when she can overshadow me. But..."
Lin Zhiyi asked curiously, "But what?"
Chu Yin smiled, "But that’s not enough. If I want my sister to completely unleash her antics, I have to step in myself."
Lin Zhiyi asked, "Do you have a plan already?"
Chu Yin nodded.
Lin Zhiyi said, "Does it have to do with attending the recording tonight?"
"Nothing gets past you. Since Sister Meng and Chu Wu have long colluded, why shouldn’t I take advantage?"
"Tonight, I’ll go with you. With me there, Sister Meng wouldn’t dare go too far," Lin Zhiyi said.
Chu Yin looked worriedly at Gong Chen, fearing he’d have any objections.
Gong Chen frowned slightly, "If she doesn’t go, she’d be restless all night, so let it be a fun outing."
Lin Zhiyi smiled knowingly.
Chu Yin didn’t stop her any longer.
