Chapter 52: No Need to Endure Anymore

His words were almost the same as pointing at Jia Yunxiao’s nose and telling him that a woman this fickle, who kept changing her mind and running around looking for a father for her baby, only he would look at her twice. An ordinary guy like him really could not handle her.

Bai Xiu Qing had not expected Du Jun Yan to be this ruthless, able to say such hurtful words to her right in front of Jia Yunxiao. Her eyes turned red, and tears almost fell.

In the past, Du Jun Yan might still have felt some pity for her because she was a woman.

But when he thought of those unlucky people who had helped her and then were framed by her, he calmed down at once.

She was just a poisonous beauty snake. He should put away that useless saint complex of his before he got bitten again.

Ever since he had climbed up to his current position, Jia Yunxiao felt that no one dared talk to him like this anymore. On top of that, Du Jun Yan’s words reminded him how Bai Xiu Qing had only been on the run for a few months, yet had already hooked a long string of men.

His face darkened at once. His gaze toward Bai Xiu Qing grew even colder and more vicious.

Frightened, Bai Xiu Qing trembled all over and suddenly regretted all the lies she had told earlier when Jia Yunxiao asked about Du Jun Yan.

If she had known he would be so stubborn, she should never have let Jia Yunxiao come looking for him. Now she could only hope that Jia Yunxiao would vent his anger on Du Jun Yan first, so that when he later thought of her, there would be a little less rage left.

You had to admit, these two crazy people really did understand each other very well, whatever else you said about them.

After glaring at Bai Xiu Qing for a while, Jia Yunxiao decisively turned his gun on Du Jun Yan: “Mr. Du, you had better not speak so absolutely. If something goes wrong in the future, it will be too late to regret it then, don’t you think?”

Du Jun Yan was a little speechless. Was that a threat? Ah, his bad temper…

“There is no need for you to worry about that, Mr. Jia. If you came today only because of this woman, then please rest assured. I am not close to her. We hardly interacted before, and we definitely will not interact in the future. If there is nothing else, I will not keep you two any longer. Please see yourselves out.”

After giving his order to leave, Du Jun Yan stopped paying attention to these two who had barged into his office to act out a drama.

Jia Yunxiao had never been treated so coldly. The veins on his forehead stood out.

“Mr. Du, you are still young and have not been through much. There are many people in this world stronger than you. You cannot afford to offend all of them. Maybe you don’t care, but do your family not care either?”

He tossed out this vicious line, feeling that he had regained the upper hand, and left with Bai Xiu Qing, very pleased with himself.

He completely failed to notice that at the moment he finished speaking, Du Jun Yan’s hand tightened, and the pen in his fingers snapped cleanly in half.

He had still underestimated how crazy this man was. He had already given way again and again, but in the end he still let someone climb up on his head and stomp around.

Threatening him was one thing. Threatening his family was not.

Already annoyed by endless overtime and now having his reverse scale touched, President Du took a deep breath, grabbed the phone, and called someone to file a report.

So, while Jia Yunxiao was driving back with Bai Xiu Qing, his mind full of ways to teach Du Jun Yan a lesson, several cars rushed up from behind, surrounding his convoy from front and back and forcing all their cars to a stop on an overpass.

“Police officers handling a case. Irrelevant people, leave at once.”

Sitting in the car, Jia Yunxiao’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. After living abroad for so many years, he had clearly forgotten that this was a society ruled by law, and he had never imagined that Du Jun Yan would actually dare call the police.

Bai Xiu Qing’s eyes lit up slightly. A thought flashed through her mind about using this chance to get away from Jia Yunxiao. But then she remembered how hard every step had been during the months she was on the run alone, and the light in her eyes dimmed again.

She reached out and gently touched her already obvious belly, comforting herself: Baby, Mama is swallowing all this anger for you.

In the end, this overseas Boss paid for his arrogance. He overturned in the gutter and happily received a few-day tour of the detention center.

Meanwhile, far away in City J, Du An Rao still had no idea that her brother had gone around in circles and ended up clashing with Jia Yunxiao again.

When Du He Xuan returned to Director Gao’s crew, his assistant, Du An Rao, was warmly welcomed by everyone on set.

Because of her line “A hidden dragon in the deep, with endless potential,” Fu Si Li had become the company’s new favorite and had landed the Male Lead role in this big Male Lead drama. He was endlessly grateful to Du An Rao and treated her with great respect.

Director Gao, because of her earlier phrase “Auspicious Purple Qi from the East,” later learned that Fu Si Li had been picked by Du An Rao at a glance and then sent into his crew.

After a few scenes, he found that Fu Si Li was extremely gifted. He understood things with just a hint, had no airs at all, and was a hundred times better than the previous Pei Yi Yuan.

The more he saw, the more Director Gao was sure that Du An Rao was his and the crew’s lucky star. He practically wanted to put her on an altar as their mascot.

With all these bonuses, Du An Rao’s life in the crew was actually even more comfortable than before.

That day, she sat under a sun umbrella with a Supporting Actress who had just finished her scene, cracking sunflower seeds and chatting. Suddenly she thought of Yang Jian Tao, who was still in the hospital.

“Brother Yang still hasn’t come back? I wonder how he is recovering. I hope he doesn’t end up with any lasting problems.”

The supporting-actress little sister turned to her in surprise: “You don’t know? Teacher Yang ran into some trouble recently. It will take a few more days before he can come back.”

“What kind of trouble?”

After the girl’s careful explanation, Du An Rao finally learned that after Huang Zhao Di’s Parents had fled the hospital in a panic that day, they had not given up.

Seeing that Yang Jian Tao refused to budge and was determined to send their daughter and son in, the old couple also went all out.

They contacted a few media outlets that loved reporting on family disputes and acting like peacemakers, crying their hearts out as they accused Yang Jian Tao of being cruel to their daughter.

In their eyes, Yang Jian Tao was an actor, a star, someone who lived on the audience’s approval. As long as he did not want his name ruined and his job lost, he would have to bow his head to them.

At first, some people really were misled. They thought, It is all one family. Yang Jian Tao is being too heartless.

Yang Jian Tao did not waste time arguing. He directly posted the transfer records showing the large sums of money that Huang Zhao Di and her brother had been getting from him under all kinds of excuses over the years, as well as the full recording from the day of the incident.

Netizens saw that long, endless line of big transfers and already began to doubt. Then they listened to the recording. Good grief, this was basically “if he does not give money, they will kill him.” It was a perfect example of kindness turning into hatred when the gifts were not enough. They decided it was better to shut their mouths.

The media that had reported the story had not expected a simple family quarrel to turn into a criminal case either, so they quickly withdrew their reports.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Yang Jian Tao refused to let the Huang Family couple go.

That same night, he posted the chat logs and recordings of them extorting him, keeping his earlier promise and sending all four members of their family inside to be reunited.

“Looks like Brother Yang really prepared well this time to cut ties with that bizarre family.” After eating this fresh piece of gossip, Du An Rao let out a sigh.

“Exactly. Oh right, this matter also involves you.”

“???” Du An Rao stared.
