Ye Xin’s expression only eased up after Peng Peng carefully explained the situation. She brought a card out from her wallet and handed it to Yang Li. She said stiffly, “The password is my birth date. There’s 200,000 yuan inside. Charge to my cards when you’re treating others. You can save your pay for your mother’s hospital fees.”
Yang Li slowly reached out to take the card as she said in a low voice, “Thank you…”
Following that, Ye Xin took out a stack of bills and handed them to Peng Peng. “Go buy supper for everyone.”
Peng Peng giggled and said, “Sister Xin, we should just buy supper for our team. The others like to gossip about us behind our backs so why should we treat them to supper?”
Ye Xin smiled and tapped Peng Peng’s forehead. “When will you be as smart as your Sister Li? Of course, we have to treat them to a meal. If they gossip about us, it just means they’re jealous…”
Peng Peng smiled and said, “Alright! I’ll buy supper for them; let them be jealous of us!”
…
When Peng Peng returned, the others from Ye Xin’s team were already in the lounge. The atmosphere was rather good; the sounds of laughter would ring in the air every so often.
When Peng Peng approached Yang Li who was standing at a corner, Yang Li said softly, “Thank you…”
Peng Peng whispered, “Sister Li, were you a personal assistant like me back then?”
Yang Li smiled. “Yes, but I’m not as smart as you. At that time, I still needed to rely on my mentor…”
Peng sighed. “What can we do? Miss Xin is so difficult to please. I was scolded so many times. It’s all thanks to you for teaching me. I’m really glad I met you, Sister Li.”
Yang Li smiled bitterly. “I’m not as good as you. I think I’m rather useless. Perhaps, it was because Ning Xia and the others treated me too well back then?”
Peng Peng said anxiously, “Sister Li, how are you useless? Moreover, you don’t have a choice. If your mother weren’t in the hospital, would you have to suffer like this? In the end, it’s because we’re too poor, causing us to give up on our dreams and ambitions. When I’m rich, I will…”
At this moment, someone shouted, “Peng Peng!”
“Yes!” Peng Peng looked as though she had been jolted by electricity as she ran over.
Yang Li could not help but laugh. Peng Peng really reminded her of her younger self.
After a while, Yang Li saw Ye Xin walking toward her. She thought perhaps Ye Xin was going to explain her outburst earlier so she quickly smiled as though she did not take the matter to heart.
Ye Xin gripped the bottle of water in her hand so tightly that they were half-crushed as she asked in a low voice, “Did you ask the cast and production team of Yi Yao if the female lead is making an appearance?”
Yang Li was stunned. It seemed like she had thought too much.
Ye Xin continued to stare at Yang Li intently.
Yang Li shook her head and said without any hesitation, “No, she has already retired from the entertainment industry after all.”
Ye Xin did not relax at all. Instead, she sneered and said, “Don’t think I’ve forgotten who she is. You even met her before. It’s not difficult to find her at all. What’s the point of a reunion if the female lead isn’t present?”
Yang Li shook her head gently. “As far as I know, she rejected Director Pan’s invitation. She said she wants to live a quiet life. Moreover, so much time has passed, even her fans no longer recognize her…”
Indeed, how ironic that Ning Xia’s self-proclaimed fans did not recognize Ning Xia when they went to the hospital to cause trouble.

Ye Xin smiled. She was greatly satisfied when she thought about how obscure Ning Xia had become. Ning Xia was no longer a star and had melted into the sea of crowds.
Ye Xin felt more relieved the more she thought about it. ‘Now that Ning Xia is married to Mu Chen, she definitely won’t return to the entertainment industry. Moreover, there’s a chance Old Madam Mu doesn’t like her granddaughter-in-law to be a star. Otherwise, why would she choose Ning Xia who’s as bland as a bowl of clear soup over me? Oh, right, I keep forgetting; her name is Song Ning. I should stop referring to her as Ning Xia…’
Nevertheless, Ye Xin thought it was better to take more precautions. She smiled coldly before she turned around and walked away.
Yang Li was stunned as she watched Ye Xin walked outside to the balcony to make a call.
…
Ning Dong was with Ye Cheng at this moment. His eyes lit up when he saw a dozen or so people who were undergoing combat training.
Ning Dong’s reaction did not escape Ye Cheng’s notice. He smiled and asked, “Do you want to learn?”
Ning Dong nodded.
Ye Cheng waved his hand, and a man dressed in tight clothes immediately walked over and bowed respectfully. “Mr. Ye.”
“This is my younger brother, Ning Dong. From today onward, I’ll leave his training to you,” Ye Cheng said.
“Understood. Young Master Ning, please follow me.”
Ning Dong’s regard for Ye Cheng grew higher when he saw the man obeying Ye Cheng without any hesitation.
Ye Cheng said with a smile, “His name is Ji An. If you have a problem in the future, just look for him.”
Ning Dong hurriedly called out, “Master Ji An!”
“Young Master Ning, you don’t have to be so polite. You can just call me Ji An,” Ji An said.
Ye Cheng chuckled as he nudged Ning Dong. “There’s no need to call him master; you can call him Ji An. He’ll feel more at ease that way. Ning Dong, you’re my younger brother now. In the future, you have to be an imposing Young Master Ning, do you understand? Throw away all the nonsense that you were taught. There are no such things as rules in this world. It’s useless to be polite in this world. As long as you have power, you can control everything. Do you understand?”

Ning Dong felt his blood boil in excitement. His father had never taught him these principles before.. No, to be precise, his father had never taught him any principles before.
