As time passed, the concert gradually approached its end. When Lin Jiayao announced that this would be her final performance, everyone was moved to tears. Yet, more than anything, the crowd offered her their most sincere blessings…
“To everyone who has supported me, I will always love you. It’s not that I don’t want to stand on the stage anymore, but I’m truly exhausted. If everyone truly loves me, please support every decision I make.”
As the last song came to a close with its melodious tune, Lin Jiayao’s voice, like celestial music, echoed once again. Suddenly, the entire venue fell silent, as though everyone had been infected by her emotional farewell.
“Lin Jiayao, we will support you forever…” After a moment of silence, countless voices shouted in unison, instantly drowning out the entire concert venue. Even Qin Menglu and Qingluan joined in the roaring cheers…
“I have found my own happiness. Everyone, please stay happy and joyful too. If possible, we will meet again…”
The flickering lights dimmed, and the curtain slowly fell. Everyone was immersed in the fervent atmosphere. Only when the lights came back on did they gradually regain their senses.
“Let’s go too…”
Qingluan and the others exchanged glances. Xiao Yufan could sense their emotional fluctuations, clearly influenced by the atmosphere of the event. Particularly the song “Cycle” had awakened a deep resonance within them.
The four girls nodded simultaneously before walking toward the exit. Naturally, the simultaneous appearance of the four beauties caused quite a stir again, though no one dared approach, as they sensed an indistinct chill radiating from Xiao Yufan.
A commotion arose from behind, but Xiao Yufan didn’t turn around. After all, he believed in staying aloof from irrelevant matters—he wasn’t any kind of savior and had no intention of involving himself in every issue.
“This is your last chance. If you choose to follow me, I promise I will make you a top-tier actress. Isn’t this what you’ve always dreamed of? Now it’s within your reach!”
“I don’t need anyone’s help. I can achieve my dreams through my own strength. So give up on this idea. I won’t sell my soul for fame…”
“Do you really think you can do it? With just one word from me, no film company will dare to consider you. I can completely blackball you from the start. Eventually, you won’t escape becoming my woman!”
“Even so, I will never give in to your wishes. Don’t think that because you can have anything you want, you can control someone else’s fate!” The woman, blocked by several men, had a flushed face. If Xiao Yufan had turned around, he would have recognized her immediately—it was Jiang Rou. Right now, she seemed especially helpless.
“Jiang Rou, our Brother Liu taking a liking to you is your good fortune. Don’t refuse a toast and invite punishment. Believe me, I can find someone to smash your family’s shabby restaurant. Then let’s see if you can still be so stubborn…”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yufan, who had taken a couple of steps forward, allowed a playful smile to surface. There’s fate in every encounter. Unexpectedly, after just a day apart, they had met again in such circumstances. It seemed like it was time for another heroic rescue…
Surrounded by several men, Jiang Rou helplessly glanced around at the onlookers, but none showed any intention of stepping forward to assist. Who would risk angering these young ruffians over a stranger?
Many faces showed signs of pity. Jiang Rou’s delicate beauty naturally inspired sympathy. These young men were clearly no good. Would such a beautiful flower really end up stuck in this pile of dung?
As time passed, the concert gradually approached its end. When Lin Jiayao announced that this was her final performance, everyone was moved to tears, but more people offered her their most sincere blessings…
“To all who have supported me, I will always love you. It’s not that I don’t want to stand on the stage anymore, but I am truly tired. If you really love me, please support every decision I make.”
When the last song ended with its melodious tune, Lin Jiayao’s heavenly voice resonated once again, and the entire venue suddenly fell silent, as if everyone was deeply moved by her emotions.
“Lin Jiayao, we will always support you…” After a moment of silence, countless cheers erupted, instantly overwhelming the concert venue. Even Qin Menglu and Qingluan joined in the fervent shouts…
“I have found my own happiness, and I wish each of you joy and happiness as well. If possible, we will meet again…”
The flashing lights dimmed, and the curtains slowly descended. Everyone was immersed in the passionate atmosphere, and it was only when the lights came back on that they slowly began to react.
“Let’s go too…”
As his gaze swept over Qingluan and the others, Xiao Yufan could sense their emotional fluctuations, clearly influenced by the atmosphere, especially the song “Reincarnation,” which had awakened a deep resonance within them.
The four women nodded simultaneously and then headed outside. Of course, the appearance of four stunning beauties once again caused quite a stir, but no one dared to approach them, as they could feel an icy aura emanating from Xiao Yufan.
A commotion broke out behind them, but Xiao Yufan didn’t turn around. After all, it was none of his business, and he wasn’t some savior who needed to intervene in every situation…
“This is your last chance. If you choose to follow me, I will definitely make you a top-tier movie star. Isn’t that what you’ve always dreamed of? Now it’s within your reach!”
“I don’t need anyone’s help to achieve my dreams. I can do it on my own, so you can give up on this idea. I won’t sell my soul for fame…”
“Do you really think you can? With just one word from me, no film company will even look at you. I can completely stifle your career before it even begins. Sooner or later, you’ll end up as my woman!”
“Even so, I won’t give in to your wishes. Don’t think you can control everything, including other people’s destinies!” The woman surrounded by several men had a flushed face. If Xiao Yufan had turned around, he would have recognized her—it was Jiang Rou, who now looked utterly helpless…
“Jiang Rou, it’s your good fortune that Brother Liu has taken a liking to you. Don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Believe me, I can have someone smash that rundown restaurant of yours. Let’s see if you can still be so stubborn…”
Hearing this, Xiao Yufan, who had just taken two steps forward, showed a playful smile on his lips. Fate had brought them together again. They had only parted ways a day ago, and now they met in such a situation. It seemed like it was time for another heroic rescue…
Jiang Rou, trapped by the men, glanced around for help, but no one seemed willing to step forward. Who would risk angering these young thugs for a stranger?
Many people showed pity on their faces. Jiang Rou’s delicate appearance naturally evoked sympathy. These young men clearly had ill intentions, and it seemed like a beautiful flower was about to be trampled by a pile of dung.
“If you become my woman, I promise you a life of wealth and luxury. You won’t have to suffer like your mother, slaving away in that shabby restaurant for so many years. It pains me to even think about it…”
The man called Brother Liu eyed Jiang Rou’s slender figure with a lecherous gaze. He had been coveting this beauty for a long time, dreaming of her voluptuous body day and night.
“If you dare to harm my family, I will never let you go…” Jiang Rou clenched her fists tightly, biting her red lips until they bled slightly, adding a touch of allure to her appearance. It was clear that she was deeply distressed.
“Never let me go? What can you do to me?” Everyone could sense the futility of Jiang Rou’s threat. How could such a delicate woman pose any real danger to a group of burly men? The answer was obviously no.
“Though I don’t know what she can do to you, if you continue to act like a scoundrel, I can certainly throw you out of here…”
The young men laughed arrogantly, completely dismissing Jiang Rou’s words. But at that moment, Xiao Yufan’s voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, drawing everyone’s attention.
“Kid, are you trying to play the hero?” Brother Liu, annoyed by the interruption, grew angry. These days, it seemed like anyone could try to be a hero without considering their own capabilities. However, when he noticed the beautiful women behind Xiao Yufan, his eyes lit up.
“Get lost…” Xiao Yufan coldly spat out the words. He didn’t want to waste time talking to these scoundrels, as engaging with them would only taint him. He was far above their level.
“What did you say?!” The men’s expressions shifted from surprise to shock and then to anger. They couldn’t believe they were being so blatantly disrespected, especially in front of so many beautiful women…
“I said get lost. Can’t you understand?” Xiao Yufan lightly patted one of the men on the shoulder, causing his face to twist in pain. The strength in Xiao Yufan’s hand was something ordinary people couldn’t withstand.
From the man’s expression, the others began to sense something was off and no longer dared to underestimate Xiao Yufan. It seemed they had truly encountered a tough opponent this time…
“So that’s why you’ve suddenly grown so bold—you’ve found yourself another man. Do you really think this will help you escape me? In a few days, I’ll send someone to pay a visit to your little restaurant and your stubborn father…”
With a cold snort, Brother Liu turned his gaze back to Jiang Rou, his eyes filled with malice. He had pursued this woman for so long, yet she had never shown him even a hint of kindness, pushing his patience to the limit. But as he finished speaking, a chill ran down his spine…
The man known as Brother Liu eyed Jiang Rou’s slim figure, his gaze flickering with lust. He had coveted this pretty girl for quite some time, fantasizing about her voluptuous body day and night.
“If you dare harm my family, I will never forgive you…” Her delicate hands clenched tightly, her red lips bitten hard, as a few drops of blood slowly seeped out, adding to her allure. Clearly, she was extremely anxious.
“Never forgive me? What can you possibly do to me?” Everyone could sense how weak Jiang Rou’s threat sounded. How could such a delicate woman threaten a few strong men? Naturally, the answer was no.
“Although I don’t know what she can do to you, if you keep harassing people, I can definitely throw you out from here…”
The young men laughed brazenly, completely dismissing Jiang Rou’s words. At that moment, Xiao Yufan’s voice abruptly rose from the crowd, drawing everyone’s attention.
“Kid, are you trying to play the hero and save the beauty?” Brother Liu, annoyed by the interruption, immediately flared up. In this day and age, what a nerve some people had! Without even considering his own abilities, this guy dared to interfere. However, seeing the several beautiful women behind Xiao Yufan, his eyes widened in surprise.
“Get lost…” Xiao Yufan coldly uttered one word. He didn’t want to waste too many words on these people. Talking too much with scum like them would only lower his own standards. He wasn’t about to equate himself with trash.
“What did you just say?!” The men’s expressions shifted from surprise to shock, and finally to fury. They were being openly humiliated—how could they possibly endure this, especially in front of so many beauties?
“I said get lost. Can’t you understand simple words?” Xiao Yufan gently patted the man’s shoulder. The latter’s face instantly twisted in pain. Could an ordinary person withstand the force in Xiao Yufan’s hand?
Seeing the expression on this man’s face, the others vaguely sensed something amiss. They no longer dared to underestimate the situation. It seemed they had truly encountered someone formidable this time…
“I see now. So that’s why you suddenly have so much courage—it’s because you’ve hooked up with another man. Do you really think this can help you escape from me? In a few days, I’ll send someone to visit your family’s little restaurant, and your immortal father…”
With a cold snort, Brother Liu shifted his gaze back to Jiang Rou, his eyes filled with menace. He had pursued this woman for so long, yet she had never given him even a hint of kindness, reducing his patience to its limit. However, as these words fell, the chill behind him intensified…
