Ying Weifeng's eyes flashed with panic, "That's because she offended you! As a result, you stopped giving me money, so I went to find her."

Shi Jinyuan smiled sarcastically, "It's none of your business whether she offends me or not. Ying Weifeng, you violated the contract first, so don't expect me to follow the contract."

"I am not a sucker, nor am I a money-giving kid. The hole in your Ying family cannot be filled."

"I won't pay you any more money after the contract ends."

"How can this be possible?"

Ying Weifeng shouted, "Boss Shi, you can't do this! Aren't you trying to cut off my chance of survival?"

A hint of disgust flashed across Shi Jinyuan's eyes.

"Boss Shi, you have to give me this money. Ruxing has entrusted her life to you! My daughter's innocence has been tarnished by you. If you don't give me the money, I will sue you for rape!"

Seeing his stern expression, Ying Weifeng gritted his teeth and threatened him.

Hearing this, Shi Jinyuan seemed to have heard a joke, "Then go ahead and sue me."

"It's a love affair between a man and a woman, and it's consensual. Ying Ruxing is an adult, not a minor who needs the protection of her parents!"

"What's more, you sold your daughter to another man for seven days for one million. I only slept with her once. Two million isn't enough?"

Shi Jinyuan's cold eyes were filled with sarcasm, "Ying Weifeng, be sensible. If you continue to be shameless, don't blame me for being rude!"

Ying Weifeng's body trembled, his face full of panic.

When his scandal was exposed, his self-righteous threats became like a clown's play in front of Shi Jinyuan.

If this matter were made public, he would not be in the right, so Ying Weifeng naturally did not dare to make a big deal out of it.

Threats were futile and pleading was ineffective. He knew Shi Jinyuan's methods very well. If he pushed him to the limit and made him angry, not only would he not get the money, but he might even lose his life!

"Get lost!" Shi Jinyuan yelled, and pressed the phone, "Call the security guard up!"

Ying Weifeng didn't dare to stay and ran away.

Zhou Xun, who was standing aside, breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Shi Jinyuan cautiously.

He now feels that his original private decision not to remit the money was the right one.

Ying Weifeng, the Ying family is a bottomless pit that can never be filled.

Zhou Xun sighed in his heart and also felt sad for Ying Ruxing.

A person like a delicate flower should have a bright future, but she has such a father.

"Mr. Shi, that contract..."

Shi Jinyuan rubbed his brows, looking tired, and waved his hand, "No need to look for it."

...

October.

The weather was getting colder and people on the street were wearing sweaters.

The cold wind became biting, mixed with the chill of winter.

Ying Ruxing hadn't seen Shi Jinyuan for half a month.

In addition to attending classes, she also takes on jobs, sometimes as a guest star, sometimes as an advertising endorsement. Ning Meigui also found several book cover models for her to shoot.

Not long after, Ning Meigui arranged for her to join the crew again. This time the crew was working on a serious drama. She was given the script for the second female lead, with many scenes. She was surrounded by veteran actors and the requirements for her acting skills were very strict.

Fortunately, Ying Ruxing is a professional actor. Her first scene on the day she joined the crew received positive reviews. She worked hard afterwards and never hesitated to ask questions. She could always be seen rehearsing with herself and memorizing her lines on the set.

Her hard work won unanimous praise from the crew.

At the same time, a national cultural relics program was launched, and at the end of the program a special tribute was paid to the cultural relics restorers.

Wanxing's name is hanging high and has become popular again in the circle.

Due to schedule reasons, Ning Meigui issued a statement to the school that Ying Ruxing would not have to go back to class except for exams.

Xu Ningchen found out where she was filming and would come to deliver gifts every now and then. In her name, he would either deliver coffee to the entire crew or buy desserts.

Ying Ruxing rejected him sternly, but she could not resist his unabated enthusiasm, and he kept sending her flowers and gifts every few days.

Although she didn't confiscate them, Xu Ningchen's high-profile display of love still made Ying Ruxing the target of ridicule by the entire group.

After the last night scene in Beijing, the director gave the entire crew a week off and changed the location to Haishi.

Ying Ruxing went home to catch up on two days of sleep, and on the third day, he was invited by the actors in the same group to travel to Hai City in advance.

Since she had nothing to do, she packed her things and went to Hai City.

After two days of sightseeing in Hai City, everyone was tired. They needed to rest for two days before starting work. No one was invited to make friends and they focused on catching up on sleep.

Ying Ruxing was no exception, sleeping soundly in the hotel every day.

Half asleep, her phone vibrated and she fumbled around to answer it.

There were sobbing sounds coming from the receiver, and Shi Yin was burping, "Xing, Uncle Xing is sick, very seriously."

Ying Ruxing woke up from a nap and looked at the time. It was one o'clock in the morning.

"Be good, Yinyin, don't cry. I'm in Hai City right now and can't come over. Listen to me and call the doctor first. The phone is on the table in your uncle's study."

"There is no doctor and we are in Hai City." Shi Yin hiccuped.

When Ying Ruxing heard that they were in Haishi, she immediately got out of bed, looking for clothes while asking Shi Yin for the address.

Upon learning that they were staying in the same hotel as him, Ying Ruxing asked for the room number and immediately ran downstairs.

Shi Yin opened the door, held her hand, and had tears in her eyes.

Ying Ruxing touched her head and said, "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."

The room Shi Jinyuan booked was a suite with a separate bedroom.

When she stood at the door of the man’s bedroom, she was actually a little hesitant, but in the end she gently pushed the door open.

There was no light in the bedroom and it was dark.

She could only use her cell phone for lighting, walked to the bed, and placed her hand on Shi Jinyuan's forehead, which was terribly hot.

She was not familiar with Haishi and didn't know where there was a pharmacy open in the middle of the night, so she could only order antipyretic drugs online.

With the help of the light from the mobile phone, she could vaguely see the blurry outline of the man's face. After standing for a while, Ying Ruxing took Shi Yin's hand and walked out.

"Would you like to stay in my room tonight?"

Shi Yin nodded obediently. She usually slept alone at home and was not afraid.

Ying Ruxing took the room card, sent Shi Yin back to the room and settled her down, then went back downstairs.

The delivery guy brought the medicine, and Ying Ruxing put a fever-reducing patch on him and poured warm water for him to wipe his body.

The fever subsided in the second half of the night.

As dawn was approaching, Ying Ruxing could no longer hold on and fell asleep leaning against the sofa.

When I woke up again, I heard a rustling sound in my ears.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her eyelids were so heavy that they kept drooping, and it took a lot of effort for her to open them.

The moment I opened my eyes, the person on the bed also looked over.

As their eyes met, a slightly awkward atmosphere filled the air.

"You don't have a fever, do you?"

Shi Jinyuan shook his head. She breathed a sigh of relief and picked up her phone to order takeout. "Don't eat anything too greasy. I ordered some light porridge."

"Shiyin is in my room. I just happen to live here. I'll ask her to come down for dinner later."

"Thanks."

Shi Jinyuan was silent for a few seconds and then spoke slowly.
