The girl who had kindly gone to ask Zhou Yuchen about his condition was frightened by the sharp expression on Zhou Yuchen's face. She turned back and glanced at her companion, not daring to say anything else. She took a few steps back, tugged at her companion's sleeve, and the two of them left together.
Yun Liuli was Zhou Yuchen's sore spot. Zhou Yuchen could tolerate whatever Xiao Yuan did to Zhou Yuchen, but … when it came to Yun Liuli, Zhou Yuchen couldn't tolerate it.
He forcefully propped up his swaying body, using his arm to wipe away the blood on his face, his gaze filled with hatred.
"Zhou Yuchen!"
Guan Nina got out of the car and called out to Zhou Yuchen. She snatched the umbrella from the driver's hand and ran over to place it on top of Zhou Yuchen's head. "What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Yuchen's gaze turned to Guan Nina, and the look in his eyes made Guan Nina jump. Guan Nina subconsciously gripped the handle of the umbrella tightly, calling out Zhou Yuchen's name softly. There was a hint of fear in her voice. "Zhou Yuchen …"
Seeing that Zhou Yuchen wasn't saying anything, Guan Nina's eyes trembled as she said, "I believe that the photo that's going viral on Weibo … isn't Liuli. You should believe in Liuli too!"
Believe. Zhou Yuchen had always believed in Yun Liuli.
He even knew how Xiao Yuan's photo came to be …
"Zhou Yuchen …" Guan Nina carefully tugged at Zhou Yuchen's sleeve, which was dripping with water. "I'll send you to the hospital, okay?"
Zhou Yuchen didn't move. Guan Nina's eyes reddened, and she said, "Then I'll send you home, okay?"
Zhou Yuchen didn't say anything.
Guan Nina plucked up her courage and grabbed Zhou Yuchen's wrist, gently pulling him toward the car.
Guan Nina sent Zhou Yuchen back to his previous home and handed him the medicine she bought on the way. She reminded him to apply the medicine after taking a hot shower. She was about to leave, but she was still worried, so she asked the driver to buy some fresh ginger. She then searched on her phone for how to make ginger soup.
The young lady had always been the type who didn't do household chores at home. When she peeled the fresh ginger, she nearly cut her fingers. When she put the ginger into the pot, the boiling water splashed out and scalded the back of her hand. She held back her tears and forcibly brewed ginger soup for Zhou Yuchen.
Guan Nina left a note on the dining table, telling Zhou Yuchen to remember to drink ginger soup. She then closed the door and left.
…
When Yun Liuli saw this photo, she was also stunned. It wasn't that Tang Zheng didn't have hackers who could delete this photo completely, it was just that … deleting it would inevitably make things worse.
Fang Yan took action very quickly. She used the official Weibo account to deny that the lady in the photo was Yun Liuli and sent the photo to the authoritative photo-retouching expert in the agency for them to analyze the photo-editing technique.
The otaku in the technical department immediately thought of the AV he had seen before and showed Fang Yan the scene. Fang Yan then uploaded the photo online to prove that the photo was a composite.
This seemed like a rather lewd joke, but the technical expert in the technical department was a loyal fan of Yun Liuli. He was in the group of hardcore fans, and he had just witnessed his daughter being proposed to as part of her family. Now that something so disgusting had happened, how could he tolerate it?
So the tech expert checked this Weibo sub-account, and also checked I.
In the end, the address was locked onto Xiao Yuan, and Xiao Yuan's family situation was thoroughly investigated.
After receiving Xiao Yuan's information, Fang Yan took a look and immediately called Little Lu, sending the information over to Fu Huai 'an.

After replying, Fang Yan posted Xiao Yuan on Weibo, saying that she would pursue Xiao Yuan's legal responsibilities.
Little Lu had also contacted Xiao Yuan's father, explaining that Yun Liuli's agency belonged to Fu Huai 'an. Fu Huai' an was very displeased that Xiao Yuan had brazenly smeared the reputation of their agency's artist.
What he meant was that if Xiao Qinghai didn't discipline his own child, then … they would do it for Xiao Qinghai. Of course, Little Lu's words were very polite.
…
When Zhou Yuchen came out of his room gloomily, it was already the next day. No one from the Xiao Family called Zhou Yuchen to ask him why he didn't go back. Zhou Yuchen didn't have any hope in the first place. He had never treated that place as his home. This place was!
As he put on his black hoodie, he walked to the dining room. He took out a bottle of water from the fridge, twisted it open, and drank two mouthfuls before noticing Guan Nina's note on the dining table.
Zhou Yuchen picked it up and glanced at it, then placed it back on the dining table. He then dialed the Xiao family's number.
The person who picked up the call was the Xiao family's housekeeper. The housekeeper told Zhou Yuchen that Xiao Yuan had too much to drink when he came back last night and fell asleep the moment he laid on the bed. Xiao Qinghai only came back when it was almost midnight. When he came back, his countenance was very grim. Without saying a word, he went to Xiao Yuan's room. In the end, he discovered that Xiao Yuan was dead drunk. Xiao Qinghai's countenance turned even grimmer, and he got someone to splash water on Xiao Yuan to wake him up.
But Xiao Yuan, who was so drunk that he still didn't wake up. Later, Old Madam Xiao was alerted, and she shielded the drenched and unconscious Xiao Yuan in her arms. She said that Xiao Yuan was already so drunk that Xiao Qinghai wasn't allowed to torture the child anymore. Otherwise, he would torture her old bones as well!
Xiao Qinghai was so angry that he could only slam the door and return to his room.
The housekeeper especially whispered to Zhou Qinghai that he had heard from Xiao Qinghai's assistant that it was because Xiao Yuan had posted a photo of a female celebrity.
The photo had offended the big boss of that celebrity's agency and threatened Xiao Qinghai's business. That was why Xiao Qinghai flew into a rage. He told Zhou Qinghai not to come back in the morning, as the atmosphere in the house was very strange.
The housekeeper also said that Xiao Qinghai had been sitting at the dining table smoking and wasn't in a hurry to go to the company. He was probably waiting for Xiao Yuan to wake up. However, Xiao Yuan hadn't woken up yet … By the time Xiao Yuan woke up, there would definitely be a huge battle. Zhou Yuchen would definitely be implicated if he came back, so he might as well hide outside.
The housekeeper's heart really ached for Zhou Yuchen …
Of course, it was also because the housekeeper knew why Zhou Yuchen had been brought back to the Xiao family. Even so, Old Madam Xiao and Xiao Qinghai didn't treat the child particularly well. One night, the housekeeper saw Xiao Qinghai slap the child.
Therefore, the housekeeper was a little biased towards Zhou Yuchen.
Zhou Yuchen thanked the housekeeper and hung up the call.
Zhou Yuchen had already seen the Weibo post where Fang Yan wanted to pursue Xiao Yuan for legal responsibility. Zhou Yuchen heaved a sigh of relief and guessed that Xiao Yuan wasn't having a good time. However, he hadn't expected Old Madam Xiao to be so protective of Xiao Yuan.
If Zhou Yuchen's guess wasn't wrong, it should have been Old Madam Xiao who told Xiao Yuan the reason Zhou Yuchen went to the Xiao family last night!
After figuring this out, Zhou Yuchen didn't stand on ceremony and directly called Xiao Qinghai.
From now on, Zhou Yuchen didn't plan on being bullied by others. From the incident with Yun Liuli's photo, Zhou Yuchen understood something. Unless he became really powerful, he wouldn't even be able to protect the people he cared about.
