Luocheng Mansion.
A high - end apartment complex located in the bustling downtown area. It is said that the people living there are either wealthy or noble.
Behind the towering apartment buildings, there are more than a dozen three - story villas standing there, separated by layers of greenery.
In City C, where every inch of land is extremely valuable, Luocheng has undoubtedly become a representative building of the city.
It's not because of its price, but its "tranquility".
No matter where you are, "finding tranquility in the midst of the hustle and bustle" is always a term associated with high - end taste, and City C is no exception.
However, no matter how wealthy one is, family conflicts are inevitable.
"Pei Yan! I just don't understand. Are the cases that important?! So important that you can even forget our wedding anniversary!"
A woman in a high - end tailored dress, with a delicate makeup and a rather cute face, was sitting on the sofa. She stared angrily at the man in front of her. Seeing that he didn't say a word, her mood got even worse. "It's always like this. You just keep silent! Is it interesting to do this every time?"
The man under her gaze had a good - looking face that could rival that of a top - tier celebrity. His eyelashes were as black as a crow's feathers, his nose was straight and high, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. His inky black suit was ironed perfectly. There was a hint of tiredness on his well - defined face.
He placed the folder in his hand on the bookshelf in the living room. His voice was as deep and gentle as a cello in performance. "You won't listen to what I have to say in this state. Instead of telling you the reasons only to be ignored, it's better to wait until you've vented your anger and calmed down."
Hearing his retort, the woman got even angrier. She grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. The man caught it in his hand.
"Are you saying that I'm a shrew who won't listen to you?!"
"I didn't mean that. I'll make up for the anniversary gift. Or you can go and buy whatever you want. You can also go on a trip if you like. I'm really busy recently and can't spare the time to accompany you."
After saying that, the man threw the pillow back. On the way, it accidentally knocked over a vase on the table.
The vase was brought back by the woman on her last trip. It had a slender body and delicate patterns, but its center of gravity was a bit unstable. The pillow just brushed against it, and the whole vase fell to the ground obligingly.
The pink fragments of the vase were mixed with the red roses, scattered messily on the wooden floor. The woman stared silently at the mess on the ground for a while.
The man fetched a broom, quietly cleaned up the mess, and then wiped the water on the floor with a cloth. He said, "If you like it, just buy another one. The final payment for your last case should have been transferred to you."
Hearing this, the woman completely exploded. She shouted out in a fit of rage, "You're just like your father deep down. You have a violent tendency! No, you're even worse. You use cold violence! I don't care. I must get a divorce this time, or I'll end up like your mother, going crazy sooner or later."
The man tightened his hand on the cloth and then slowly let go. He tightened his face and walked silently to wash his hands and tidy up his appearance. Finally, he stood at the entrance and left a sentence, "Xiaoyue, you should know that some words shouldn't be spoken out."
With that, he opened the door and walked out.
The woman stared blankly at the closed door. She seemed unable to believe that what had just happened was real.
Pei Yan had really said something harsh to her.
It was the first time she had seen Pei Yan get angry since her miscarriage.
At the same time in the villa area.
"Hey, go back and attack her. Yes, that stupid Diana. She even attacked me. Ugh." Su Yao had tied up her long hair. She was sitting cross - legged on an e - sports chair she had bought on a discount, giving instructions. "If you had come earlier, I wouldn't have died. That Diana is out of mana, but her damage is a bit high."
Li Yin rolled her eyes helplessly. Even if she's out of mana, she can still kill you easily, okay!
Over there, Su Yao was still calling her. "Yinyin, come quickly. Let's deal with this Caitlyn. You control her and I'll deal the damage!"
Then Li Lin heard a particularly loud "Doublekill!"
Su Yao: "..."
Li Yin: "..."
The scene was briefly silent.
Li Lin: "Hahahahahahahahaha!"
"Shut up!" Su Yao turned around and glared at him. Then she shifted the blame. "Yinyin, let me tell you, this is definitely not my fault. I can still deal damage. It's just that her damage is too high. It's definitely not because of me."
Li Lin laughed for a long time. Seeing this, he mercilessly mocked her, "Tell me what happened to your Q. You can't even hit anyone. Are you trying to make me laugh to death?"
"Li Lin, please be a decent person." Su Yao couldn't help but turn around again. "What are you doing? You've been holding your phone since the beginning. What are you looking at? Short videos? I'm not joking with you, kid. We're not kids anymore. Even if you don't find a partner, you shouldn't treat yourself so badly. Watch less of these videos. It's not good for your kidneys."
Li Lin knew what she was going to say just by looking at her expression. He was too late to cover her mouth. "..."
This stupid girl...
He looked at his phone screen helplessly. Sure enough, the screen was filled with "hahaha".
Fortunately, most of Su Yao's fans were girls, and she managed her own Weibo account on a daily basis. The style was not much different from now. Most of the comments in the bullet screen were teasing Li Lin, and few people criticized this woman for being outspoken.
Seeing Li Lin's hesitant expression, Su Yao knew that he was up to something again. The game had finally ended in victory under the leadership of Li Yin, who played a national - server - level blind monk.
When the enemy's crystal exploded, she picked up the cup on the table and pretended to go get some water. When passing by Li Lin, she snatched his phone from his hand at lightning speed.
Looking down, she saw the live - broadcast page of Weibo. The time showed that it had been half an hour, which meant that the live - broadcast had started before the game.
Now that she had snatched the phone, she might as well be a bit more proactive. Thinking this way, Su Yao used one finger from the hand holding the cup to reverse the camera. For a moment, the bullet screen scrolled even faster.
——— Aaaaaah! My goddess is so beautiful!!
——— What should I do? I'm going to cry!!
——— This woman finally showed up!
——— Don't share this! Let's watch it secretly!
Li Lin angrily picked up another phone on the chair and opened Weibo. Then he was stunned.
The account ID clearly showed: Su Yao.
This was her Weibo account. Then whose account was he using for the live - broadcast just now?
"Brother, have you seen my phone?" Li Yin was wandering around looking for her phone while munching on an apple.
Well.
Now Li Lin knew whose phone he had been using.
"Your Sister Yao is using it. You can play the game first."
"Okay." Li Yin replied after taking a look at Su Yao, who was chatting away.
Li Lin took out his own phone from his pocket and thought: No wonder there were only tens of thousands of people online. He was still wondering if he should tell Su Yao that she seemed to be losing popularity.
He clicked on the hot - search list. As expected, the words "Su Yao's live - broadcast" had already made it onto the Weibo hot - search list. He clicked into the live - broadcast room. In just two minutes of showing her face, the number of online viewers had soared to three million!
Li Lin looked at it in disbelief. What's wrong? Aren't us silly game players interesting enough? You only care about looks?
Humph! Women!
"Have you eaten?"
"Oh, right. It's already afternoon."
"Have you all watched the drama? Really? I'm really your favorite 'dad'."
"Yes, the people I acted with are all newbies."
"Hey, isn't summer vacation coming soon? I want to go on a trip."
Then he watched helplessly as this stupid girl, just by chatting nonsense, topped the hot - search list. The number of people in the live - broadcast room reached ten million, and then she got kicked off due to the high traffic...
Forget it.
I'd better go and look at the script.
As an agent who never has to worry about the popularity of his own artist, it can be quite a headache.
"Oho, kid, what should we do now?" Su Yao waved the phone with the screen showing that it was connecting and asked Li Lin. But Li Lin had put on his headphones at some point. She called him two or three times but got no response. So she knew he was busy and gave up asking.
Seeing this, Li Yin found a phone stand and adjusted the phone to an angle so that Su Yao's face would be the first thing to be seen after the re - connection. Then she gave Su Yao the mystery novel she had been reading recently. Su Yao gave her a bright smile.
Seeing that the live - broadcast was stuck, many viewers put down their phones and went back to their own business.
In a clean and bright office, a man in a white shirt was writing furiously while looking at the computer, and another man in a short - sleeved shirt was happily looking at his phone.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Wang Luo looked up and saw his partner smiling like a fool. He immediately patted his shoulder. Seeing that he shifted his gaze from the phone screen, he reminded him, "You know that the boss hasn't had a good rest for several days because of this case. How dare you be distracted?"
Seeing this, Sun Yang didn't care about the risk of being scolded. He moved his chair closer and showed his phone to Wang Luo, starting his fanatic recommendation. "Look at my goddess who is still so beautiful even when the live - broadcast is stuck!! She's so beautiful! And she was so funny when she was playing the game just now."
Wang Luo also saw the frozen figure on the screen and laughed. "I know her. I've watched her drama 'Destiny' three times this year."
"You've also watched 'Destiny' many times?" Sun Yang was overjoyed. Then he thought of something and explained, "I tell you, she took this drama because of the contract. Otherwise, in her eight - year acting career, there would never be a single work that is not up to par! So it's worth it for you to like her!"
"Yes, she's simply too outstanding." Wang Luo agreed.
"So I'm so excited that she's live - streaming today. I'm not usually like this." Sun Yang was about to go back to his seat when he thought he had said enough.
"Excited about what? Did the defendant finally talk?" Pei Yan came in and saw his assistant holding a phone and talking about being excited. He asked.
The two of them were so startled by the voice behind them that their hairs stood on end. Sun Yang was even more exaggerated. His phone fell to the ground with a "thud", face - down. But in this situation, they didn't have time to pick it up. They quickly separated and went back to their own computers, leaving the phone lying alone on the ground. "N...nothing."
Just then, Su Yao managed to reconnect. For some reason, maybe because of the poor network, Sun Yang's live - broadcast was delayed a bit.
So the phone on the ground let out a terrifying laugh: "Hahahahahahaha! You actually like a weak man like that!"
