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 people offered her their most sincere blessings…
“I will always love all of you who have supported me. It’s not that I don’t want to stand on the stage, but I’m truly exhausted. If everyone truly loves me, please support every decision I make.”
As the last song ended with its melodious tune, Lin Jiayao’s voice, like celestial music, rang out once again. Suddenly, the entire venue fell silent, as if everyone had been infected by her emotions.
“Lin Jiayao, we will always support you…” After a moment of silence, countless shouts rolled in like thunder, instantly overwhelming the entire concert venue. Even Qin Menglu and Qingluan joined in the loud 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 that fervent atmosphere. Only when the lights came back on did they gradually regain their senses.
“Let’s go too…”
His gaze swept across Qingluan and the others. Xiao Yufan could sense their emotional fluctuations; clearly, they had been affected by the atmosphere too. Particularly the song “Cycle” had awakened a deep resonance within them.
The four girls nodded simultaneously before heading outside. Naturally, the simultaneous appearance of the four beauties caused quite a stir once more. However, no one dared to approach them, as they always sensed an indistinct chill radiating from Xiao Yufan.
A commotion arose behind him, but Xiao Yufan didn’t bother to look back. After all, he believed in minding his own business—he wasn’t any kind of savior and didn’t need to involve himself in every issue…
“This is your last chance. If you choose to follow me, I will definitely groom you into a top-tier movie star. Isn’t this exactly 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? Just one word from me, and no film company will consider you. I can completely blackball you before you even begin. 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 get whatever you want, you can control others’ destinies!” The woman, blocked by several men, flushed with anger. If Xiao Yufan had turned around, he would have recognized her immediately—it was Jiang Rou, who now appeared very helpless…
“Jiang Rou, our Brother Liu taking a liking to you is your good fortune. Don’t refuse a toast only to end up punished. Believe me, I can find someone to smash your family’s shabby restaurant. Let’s see if you can still be so defiant…”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yufan, who had taken a couple of steps forward, allowed a playful smile to surface. Fate brings people together—unexpectedly, they had met again in such a setting. It seemed like the moment for a hero to rescue the beauty was approaching once more…
Surrounded by several men, Jiang Rou helplessly glanced around at the onlookers, only to find that no one showed any intention of stepping forward to help. Who would risk angering these young hooligans for a stranger?
Many people’s faces showed signs of pity. Jiang Rou’s delicate beauty naturally evoked sympathy. These young men were clearly no good—would such a beautiful flower really end up stuck in this pile of dung?
“Just be my woman, and I’ll guarantee you a life of wealth and luxury, without having to endure the hardships your mother experienced. For years, she held onto that dilapidated restaurant. Watching her made me不忍 to take action…”
The man known as Brother Liu eyed Jiang Rou’s tight, delicate figure, his gaze flashing with lust. He had coveted this pretty girl for a long 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, a few drops of blood slowly seeping out, adding a touch of 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 several strong men? The answer was naturally negative.
“Although I don’t know exactly what she can do to you, if you continue harassing people, I can definitely throw you out from here…”
The young hooligans laughed wildly, completely dismissing Jiang Rou’s words. At this 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 that someone had interrupted his fun, immediately got angry. This world really has all kinds of people—playing hero without even considering his own abilities. However, when he saw the several beautiful women behind Xiao Yufan, his eyes widened.
“Leave…” Xiao Yufan coldly uttered a single word. He didn’t want to waste too many words with these people, as talking too much with scum would only taint him. He refused to be lumped together with such trash.
“What did you say?!” The faces of the several men shifted from shock to astonishment, finally settling on rage. To be so openly insulted—how could they possibly endure it, especially in front of so many beauties…
“I said leave. Can’t you understand simple words?” Xiao Yufan’s hand lightly patted the man’s shoulder. The latter’s face instantly twisted in pain. Could ordinary people withstand the strength Xiao Yufan exerted through his hand?
From the expression on this man’s face, the others vaguely sensed something amiss and no longer dared to underestimate Xiao Yufan. It seemed they had truly encountered someone formidable this time…
“I see. So that’s why you suddenly got so bold—turns out you’ve hooked up with another man. Do you think this can help you escape from me? In a few days, I will send people to thoroughly inspect your family’s little restaurant, as well as your indestructible father…”
Brother Liu coldly snorted, shifting 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 he finished speaking, the chill behind him grew even more intense…
