Chapter 805: Stop Crying

Editor: Henyee Translations

It would have been easier if they hadn’t crossed paths, but once they did, he couldn’t ignore it.

Even if Yan Xi wasn’t like Yangyang but resembled Zhu Di or Mo Mo, he wouldn’t have turned a blind eye.

He wasn’t a saint, but he was loyal to his good friends.

Fu Mingxiu’s car was parked nearby. He drove Yan Xi to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment.

While waiting for Yan Xi’s antidote to take effect, he looked her up online out of curiosity.

Seeing her name linked to Gu Yang’s marketing strategies made him frown.

Like his friends in the No. 1 Middle School Group, Fu Mingxiu was disgusted by such behavior.

After the infusion, Yan Xi gradually regained consciousness. She vaguely remembered Fu Mingxiu bringing her to the hospital. When she saw him upon waking, she said gratefully, “Thank you!”

Fu Mingxiu, now unimpressed by her, responded coldly, “You’re welcome. I only helped you because you look like a friend of mine.”

Yan Xi was taken aback and guessed, “Gu Yang?”

Fu Mingxiu nodded, then leaned in closer and cautioned, “Don’t exploit her popularity.”

Yan Xi hesitated, wanting to explain, but the situation was complex and Fu Mingxiu might not understand. She knew she had indeed been leveraging Gu Yang’s fame. Bowing her head, she muttered, “I’m sorry.”

Fu Mingxiu’s tone turned cold. “If you’re using her popularity, don’t drag Gu Yang’s name through the mud. I helped you this time, but you might not be so fortunate next time.”

Yan Xi clenched her fists, unable to stop herself from defending, “I didn’t mean to!”

Seeing her eyes reddening, Fu Mingxiu was briefly taken aback.

Perhaps he had been too harsh just now.

He knew she was likely manipulated by her manager, but he wanted to make her more aware. Yet, thinking about how she had exploited Yangyang’s fame, he couldn’t replace gentler words.

“I didn’t expect them to be so shameless…”

Yan Xi’s voice trembled with fear and hurt, tears streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably.

She hadn’t wanted to go to the bar, but her manager had promised an advance payment for her show participation. Her adoptive father urgently needed money.

She also knew many artists attended the banquet, not just her.

She had been cautious all this time, yet she still ended up in this situation.

This was the first time Fu Mingxiu had caused a girl to cry, leaving him at a loss. “Please don’t cry.”

But his words only made Yan Xi cry even harder. “Do you think I wanted to ride on someone else’s popularity? You’ve seen how I’m treated at the company. I’m like a puppet, completely at their mercy.”

“I was just waiting out my contract for another two years before it ended. But now, those greedy capitalists threaten me with penalties every day. They even use my father’s illness against me…”

Fu Mingxiu fell silent, unsure of how to respond.

He had never encountered such a dire situation in his social circle.

Suddenly, Yan Xi stopped crying abruptly.

Fu Mingxiu was puzzled as she frantically raised the hand that had been injected, panicking. “The blood is flowing back! Quick, call the nurse to remove the needle!”

Lost in her tears, she hadn’t noticed the IV had finished. It was only when the blood started to flow back and her hand stung that she realized.

Fu Mingxiu: “…”

He looked at her distressed state and couldn’t help but stifle a laugh with his fist pressed against his mouth.

Why was this girl so pitiful yet oddly amusing?

Yan Xi looked bewildered. “I’m already in such a wretched state, and you’re laughing at me?”

Her gaze seemed to ask, “Do you have any humanity left?”
