Chapter 880: Chapter 880: Li Shengxiao Backing

Shen Siyuan was only afraid that if she touched Rong Yan, Li Shengxiao would find out and her place in his heart would be harmed; her words were not as pleasant as they sounded.

Besides, she was confident that Shen Siyuan wouldn’t defeat her.

Capital can influence the entertainment industry, but it doesn’t control it absolutely.

With her current popularity, anyone who publicly targeted her would have to think twice, lest they drive her into a corner and she retaliates, pulling them down with her.

Unless the Shen Family was determined to target her, relying solely on Shen Siyuan’s connections wouldn’t be enough to do anything to her.

Rong Yan was aware of this fact, which allowed her to remain extremely calm when facing Shen Siyuan, after all, she wasn’t working hard just to be bullied.

It was Shen Siyuan and her group who provoked her first, merely spouting verbal jabs—Rong Yan wouldn’t lose to anyone.

“Heh.” Shen Siyuan’s heart ached from her words, yet she still managed to squeeze out a disdainful expression, “Believe it or not, that’s your problem. Just remember to keep your distance when you see me in the future, otherwise I can’t guarantee…”

She was preparing to throw out a threat.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Rong Yan, “What can’t you guarantee?”

Shen Siyuan was startled to see who appeared, showing a surprised expression, “Shengxiao?”

Li Shengxiao stood tall and proud, like a model on a runway, his aura bursting with vigor, “What can’t you guarantee?”

She suddenly realized something, and her expression changed. She glared at Rong Yan with hatred, “Are you scheming against me?”

Rong Yan looked innocent, “I can’t be bothered to scheme, okay?”

Why would she even need to scheme against Shen Siyuan? This man had clearly rejected Shen Siyuan, an adversary who had already lost. There was nothing worth scheming over.

“I just can’t stand people who claim grapes are sour just because they can’t eat them, and then resort to personal attacks. It’s just self-defense to fight back.”

It was just a few angry words anyway.

Shen Siyuan wasn’t listening at all. She had already decided it was Rong Yan’s scheme to make her lose her composure in front of Li Shengxiao, exposing her domineering side. She hated Rong Yan to death, especially in front of so many friends. Not wanting to be further humiliated by Li Shengxiao, she forced an awkward expression and changed the subject, “Shengxiao, my brother called me yesterday saying he’ll be visiting Zeka next month. Maybe you can join him for a meal. It’s been a long time since he last saw you.”

She was clever enough to know that Li Shengxiao didn’t really care about her, and everything was for her brother Shen Yu’s sake. In a critical moment, she knew to invoke Shen Yu to save the day.

As expected, the man whose wrath was barely contained eased slightly upon hearing Shen Yu’s name. However, his gaze towards her remained cold as he lightly retorted, “Rong Yan is my girlfriend, I hope I don’t have to say this a third time.”

Third time’s the charm, he had already given her many chances out of respect for their past.

With so many eyes on her, Shen Siyuan’s pride was ruthlessly crushed by him. Consumed by fiery hatred, she wished she could disappear. Yet she had to keep up appearances in front of this woman, squeezing out a smile uglier than crying, “I understand.”

She fled in embarrassment, before she left she found an excuse for herself, “Shengxiao, I have other places to visit, so I won’t disturb you. I’ll be going now.”

With her departure, the group of socialites who looked up to her exchanged glances, also awkwardly bid goodbye to Li Shengxiao and scurried away…
