Yu Xiaobao asked, “Did you guys get exposed?”
Yu Dabao was left speechless.
Yu Xiaobao said, “After all if you walk too much at night, you’ll always meet ghosts.”
Alright, it was better not to say that. The previously seemingly casual atmosphere had suddenly become tense.
Yu Xiaobao watched the scene, blinked, and fell silent. Something didn’t seem right.
The four-person group fell into an instant silence.
Wen Ye held his phone, staring at the screen, then at Yu Dabao, his uncertainty growing.
“We won’t be exposed, right?” Wen Ye nervously locked eyes with Yu Dabao. “I never mentioned this to anyone, and besides, you were completely concealed.
Even if there was a slip-up today, it’s impossible for anyone to recognize you. It was only the lower part of your body.”
Wen Ye paced around the room, his steps quickening. He felt as if he might go bald from the mounting stress.
“Could you please stop pacing around, Uncle?” Yu Dabao couldn’t take it anymore. “You’re making me dizzy!”
“How can I stay still? What if we’re discovered?” Wen Ye was visibly anxious. “Just don’t open the live broadcast room again,” Yu Dabao said calmly.
He took the opportunity to check the public opinion. All the discussions about underage individuals earning money had been completely erased.
There was no news on the Internet at all.
It was impossible for Wen Ye to have cleared the public opinion so swiftly. In Jiang City, there was only Wen Jin.
Yu Dabao’s suggestion widened Wen Ye’s eyes. “The losses would be too significant. ”
“Is life more important than money?” Yu Dabao asked Wen Ye, unperturbed.
Wen Ye’s face fell. “Life.
If he lost his life, why would he need money?
After a moment, Yu Dabao spoke again, “If Wen Jin truly becomes suspicious, shutting down the live-stream room now would be like admitting guilt. Therefore, we should keep it open and gradually reduce its activity. I’ll return to the training camp right away, just in case someone comes looking for trouble. ”
After all, if they were subjected to a surprise inspection, there would be no escape, no matter how large the apartment was. Jumping off the building was not an option either.
The apartment was on the 39th floor, and a fall from such a height would be fatal.
It wasn’t worth the risk.
Wen Ye’s mind was buzzing, and he felt utterly incapacitated. He couldn’t think straight anymore.
In essence, Wen Ye nodded earnestly in response to whatever Yu Dabao suggested, without any hesitation.
Thus, the matter was settled.
Yu Dabao immediately got up and tidied himself up. Wen Ye immediately sent Yu Dabao back to the training camp in a low-key manner. When the two of them went out, Yu Dabao was covered up tightly for fear of being discovered.
No matter what angle the camera was shot from, even if someone was following them, they would not be able to notice any accidents.
It was only when Yu Dabao returned safely to the training camp that Wen Ye heaved a sigh of relief. He felt like he had almost been skinned alive.
Wen Ye panted for a long time before he calmed down and drove back to his apartment.
A few days later, on the eve of the Fragrance Banquet, Yu Anwan had not received any news from Wen Jin. However, she didn’t let this bother her, as her focus was on the upcoming banquet.
The perfume named after Lu Nanxin gained almost instant fame, even though it was just a trial run within this industry. People in the fragrance industry were eager to make their move, given the quick rise of Lu Nanxin’s name.
Before the Fragrance Banquet even began, Yu Anwan understood that if she didn’t expose Lu Nanxin’s true face, she might seamlessly blend into the event.
However, Yu Anwan remained composed. She knew that stolen goods like Lu Nanxin’s creation wouldn’t stand up to scrutiny. What Yu Anwan was even more aware of was that the perfume she had personally crafted held the essence of Han Qingqiu. After all, the formula left by Han Qingqiu in the bank’s safe had been prepared for such an occasion.
Han Qingqiu’s concerns were primarily centered around the Yu family, but she probably hadn’t anticipated that her sister would be the one to breach her defenses.
Yu Anwan’s expression darkened for a moment, then she smiled with a touch of mockery.
However, after Lu Nanxin’s sudden rise to fame, the topic of discussion wasn’t Lu Nanxin and Wen Jin anymore. Instead, it was about Lu Nanxin and Wen Jin breaking off their engagement, revealing her true identity as Lu Chongming’s daughter, and getting engaged to the heir of a noble family in Northern Europe, who was highly respected in the world of perfumery.
The news sent shockwaves through the entire upper echelon of Jiang City. After all, Lu Nanxin and Wen Jin had been a well-known couple, and the upper crust of Jiang City was well aware of Lu Nanxin’s struggles in the Wen family, where she had never gained Wen Zhanming’s approval.
Now, with Lu Nanxin taking the initiative to break off the engagement, it was naturally the talk of the town.
This development had seemingly begun when Wen Jin brought his ex-wife to see Wen Zhanming. Even Yu Anwan was surprised to see this news, let alone the others.
Tsk, tsk…
It was quite interesting indeed.
However, Yu Anwan wasn’t naive enough to believe that Lu Nanxin had truly given up on Wen Jin. It was more likely that Lu Nanxin was playing a game of cat and mouse, retreating to advance.
Yu Anwan chuckled and decided not to dwell on Lu Nanxin’s affairs any longer.
As her thoughts wandered, she couldn’t help but think about Wen Jin. Had he shown up at her place that night because of Lu Nanxin’s decision to end the engagement?
For some reason, Yu Anwan leaned towards the latter option. After all, she knew Wen Jin’s character well. He wouldn’t allow others to keep him restrained.
Lost in thought, Yu Anwan remained silent.
Just then, her phone vibrated, interrupting her train of thought. She glanced down at the screen and then answered the call with a smile. “Why did you suddenly call me?”
It was Sheng Xuanyin, the world’s top dancer and the godmother of Dabao and Xiaobao, who still held a deep affection for the two children.
Sheng Xuanyin knew exactly why Yu Anwan had returned to Jiang City.
“That little b*tch, Lu Nanxin,” Sheng Xuanyin huffed, expressing her frustration. “She’s shameless. Calling her a b*tch doesn’t even begin to describe her.”
Yu Anwan responded calmly, “I’m just here to enjoy the show.”
Sheng Xuanyin continued, “Let me tell you, she was pursuing her current fiance when she was overseas. She never let go of him. Now that she’s left with Wen Jin, she immediately got involved with someone else.” Sheng Xuanyin didn’t mince her words. “And she still dares to spout those hypocritical words.” Of course, Yu Anwan knew exactly what Sheng Xuanyin was referring to..
