Li Wenjun turned around and was startled to see a woman standing next to Zhang Yiqing. She had a stunning appearance that perfectly described a woman whose looks could kill. He raised his eyebrow in an inquisitive manner.
Taking his attention, Ran Xueyi didn't dally anymore. She quickly said, "Ma Boqian...that guy is inside your room, right?"
Li Wenjun was once again surprised. How did she know that Ma Boqian was inside their room?
Ran Xueyi didn't tell him that when the door opened earlier, the voices that came out through the cracks of the door were heard loud and clear in the hallway. Though she was sitting in the waiting room, Ran Xueyi still felt that that voice was strangely familiar to her.
Li Wenjun did not respond. His face was still frowning, however, Ran Xueyi didn't care as she said, "If Ma Boqian and his group are really inside your room. It is better if you don't proceed with what you planned and don't get involved with him. That man and his group are far more dangerous than you think. They could not only ruin your life and future, they can also do the same to the people around you."
Ran Xueyi knew the man named Ma Boqian from years ago. But she met him during her peak and all the things she heard about it were all nasty things. Ma Boqian liked men. And he liked them young and good-looking. Rumors of him getting a new toy to play with surfaced every time, but the previous toys he toyed with never came out of the light ever again. They were simply unheard of, as if they appeared like bubbles before popping back out and never resurfacing again.
But Ran Xueyi accidentally met one of them. Thinking about that unfortunate and pitiful fellow who fell under Mo Boqian's hands, she couldn't help but feel that it wasn't too bad if she could take Li Wenjun and the others away from their clutches.
Li Wenjun hadn't said anything and didn't verbally confirm her suspicion. However, Ran Xueyi already noticed that Li Wenjun's stance turned a bit into a defensive pose and his eyes darted to the room before returning on her body.
He was trying to hide it, but she caught it.
Ma Boqian and his group of bastards were really inside that room.

Zhang Yiqing also noticed that something was wrong and he persuaded Li Wenjun again, "Wenjun, this older sister must know that something is wrong with those people. You should listen to her."
Instead of listening to him, however, Li Wenjun sent him a glare before replying, "And why should I listen to a complete stranger's words? You're only trying to ruin someone's reputation. Aren't you ashamed? Mr. Ma and the others are taking good care of us. He even promised to give us a good offer when we start our new activities." He turned to Zhang Yiqing, "And you... don't try to get in our way again. If you're jealous and depressed that you're soon leaving the entertainment circle, do not drag us with you!"
Ran Xueyi calmly stared at him. Her eyes shed a hint of pity. It seems that she failed to save a bunch of idiots from falling into a pit. However, Ran Xueyi didn't try to persuade Li Wenjun again. She only did so because of Zhang Yiing, but since the former didn't want to accept her help, she naturally wouldn't extend it.
In any case, Li Wenjun and the others should have a guess of what kind of situation they're getting themselves in. As for what end they would meet... Ran Xueyi didn't care.
Zhang Yiqing despondently looked at Li Wenjun's leaving and entering the room he came out from. He called out to Li Wenjun, but the other completely ignored him and even slammed the door loudly.
He stepped forward as if to chase after him, but a hand grabbed and stopped him.
"There's no use chasing him. He already made a choice and he will only stubbornly follow it. He won't listen to you."
"But didn't you say that Ma...Ma Boqian and his group are dangerous? Am I supposed to let my group members be when I know they're in danger?" Zhang Yiqing sharply asked.
"They're determined to do something that could put them in danger even after being warned. And they won't listen to anyone." Ran Xueyi said. "Human nature is just like this. Either the strong eat the weak and the weak let themselves be eaten by the strong. However, in your friends' case, they're either a bunch of hyenas looking for some gains while braving the danger, or a bunch of rabbits in front of a pack of lions."
"You already did everything for them and even did enough that the country would applaud you for your unending support for your group members. But if you continue trying to be a martyr, nothing good will come of it if the people you're willing to sacrifice everything for are all bunches of white-eyed wolves."
Ran Xueyi took something out from her wallet. It was a small, purple rectangular card. She handed it to him and said, "You and them are different just as your fates and how you want to achieve something are different."
Zhang Yiqing looked at the small card and took it from her. "Chestnut Entertainment?"
Ran Xueyi flashed him a beautiful smile and nodded.
"You came here to scout me?" Zhang Yiqing finally understood what she meant inside the elevator when she said she wanted something from him.
Ran Xueyi: "Yes."
Zhang Yiqing's hands shook. He didn't know why but his heart seemed to be crying. Since the moment he started to take the blame for his group members, several entertainment companies who wanted to scout him started to disappear and no longer bothered with him. And when the news of the group's disbandment was spread to the inner circle of the entertainment industry, no one came forward to approach him or scout him because of his dark history.
But today, when he was feeling like a wood drifting and floating in the middle of the sea, someone found him and wanted to take him into their company.
Zhang Yiqing didn't know what to say.
Ran Xueyi patted him on the back and said, "Don't worry about anything. Just think about it carefully and when you have decided, call the number on that card. And if you need help, you can also call that number. I'd be happy to help you."
With that, Ran Xueyi pressed the elevator button and waited for it to arrive. Zhang Yiqing's future rested on his decision.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter she got out of the club and had already gotten into her car, Ran Xueyi's phone suddenly rang. She reached for her phone and looked at the screen to see that a string of numbers was written on it. Who was calling her this time?
Since the number wasn't registered, she didn't find the need to answer. However, it continued to call her and the ringing noise finally irritated her.
With her other hand on the steering wheel, Ran Xueyi reached her free hand for her phone. She was about to block the number when she saw a message notification popping out.
With a frown, she opened the message and finally understood why it kept ringing.
[Unknown: Sister, answer the call. Mom and Dad wants to talk to you."]
Ran Xueyi coldly laughed. Talk to her? Are they still hoping that she'd return and let them control her life?
Ran Xueyi pressed the lock button and tossed her phone away. There's no need for her to talk to her parents. Their actions from these previous years were pretty obvious. They never cared about her, never treated her as their daughter, and only wanted her for their own benefits.
In the past until now, parents would disown their children on the basis of what wrong deeds their children did. But children disowning their own parents were rare.
Driving home, Ran Xueyi received several messages from Ran Yue, but no matter how many messages she got, she would ignore it and treat it as if a ghost was making a ruckus inside her car.
Oh, that's right. Ran Yue's birthday was just two days away.
She remembered that the birthday of her sister was getting near, and the Ran family would surely throw a grand celebration and invite all socialites in the city.
Ran Xueyi guessed that it wasn't too bad to attend the party and see what kind of drama these people were trying to pull this time.
