When Shen Ruojing was preparing to walk toward Chu Cimo, someone suddenly called her. “Miss Shen.”

This familiar evil-sounding voice rang out abruptly, causing her body to enter a defensive state instinctively. She slowly turned and saw Dugu Xiao standing behind her.

The man was clad in a purple shirt today, and he hugged his arms and exuded a powerful aura. His deep eyes were staring at her like how a hunter would stare at prey.

A hint of killing intent flickered in Shen Ruojing’s eyes, but it vanished a moment later. She icily said, “Mr. Dugu, can I help you?”

She glanced at the surroundings before glancing at the police stationed at the studio’s entrance.

Dugu Xiao followed her sight, and his lips curled into an evil smile. “I only wish to be friends with Miss Shen.”

Friends?

Mocking light glimmered in her eyes. How could there be a word such as ‘friend’ in his dictionary? To Dugu Xiao, his ‘friends’ were tools for him to use and betray!

She turned and walked away. “I’m not interested.”

Dugu Xiao didn’t stop her. He only followed behind her and spoke in a composed manner, “I’ve already investigated. Chu Cichen has no plans to marry you, and you are merely a tool that gave birth to children for him. So, why must Miss Shen bow in humility and stay in the Chu Manor?”

Shen Ruojing halted her steps. She then turned and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile. “Because he is my friend.”

She intentionally emphasized the word ‘friend’.

Dugu Xiao narrowed his eyes after hearing her strange tone. “In this world, how can there be true friends? Friends are merely friends because they share common benefits. If they don’t have common benefits binding them, one of the parties must have something they need from the other.”

He suddenly laughed. “Miss Shen, why don’t I bring you somewhere to watch a good show?”

Shen Ruojing rejected him directly. “I’m not interested.”

She then headed backstage to find Bai Shanshan.

Dugu Xiao still followed her. The two of them then went backstage and saw Bai Shanshan and Yan Zihao conversing before them.

Bai Shanshan was currently sobbing. “…I’ve done so much for Zijing by being her replacement singer for so many years and have also earned so much money for your Yan Family. Why can’t you let me go since you don’t like me? Why can’t you let me bring my daughter away? Xiaoqi is a girl, and your mother doesn’t like her. You can casually find someone else to give birth to a son for you…”

Yan Zihao remained unmoved hearing her words. However, he had spotted the two of them standing in the distance. He then spoke, “Bai Shanshan, there is a solution if you want your daughter. I only want you to promise me one thing.”
