Chapter 4

I wasn’t anxious at all. Instead, I leisurely sat on a recliner.

Basking in the sun while eating the strawberries I just bought.

It’s true that when you have money in your hands, everything you do is relaxing.

Unsurprisingly, my phone rang.

But surprisingly, it wasn’t Sister Jiang calling me.

It was… Gu Zhixing?

I was confused.

Shouldn’t a qualified ex-sugar daddy act like he’s dead?

How could there be a sudden resurrection?

I picked up the phone.

Gu Zhixing’s tone sounded very displeased, “Why haven’t you come looking for me recently?”

Gu Zhixing, the eldest son of the Gu family.

The vastness of his business empire was breathtaking.

And he himself was tough, handsome, single, and wealthy.

He was the ultimate sugar daddy that all the female stars in the entertainment circle tripped over themselves to fawn over.

But as luck would have it, I was the only one who succeeded.

The sugar daddy himself treated words like gold and was cold and ruthless.

So, after binding to the system, I immediately kicked this block-of-wood CEO to the curb.

Hilarious. Sister here has money now, I don’t need a man anymore.

Seeing that I didn’t speak, Gu Zhixing’s tone grew even more annoyed. “Why aren’t you speaking?”

“There’s nothing to say. After all, we just took what we needed from each other, and right now, I don’t need you anymore.”

Facing my former sugar daddy, I showed absolutely no mercy.

A woman with money is just that resolute.

The other end of the phone fell silent, and after a long while, a light chuckle came through.

“Heh, you don’t need me.”

Because of the infamy, I actually received several endorsement deals.

Sister Jiang looked at the endorsement contracts in her hand, then looked at me, and fell silent.

As if saying, *This works too?*

I was also amused. I never expected that acting crazy would bring unexpected gains.

It came time for the third episode’s recording.

I arrived downstairs at the TV station early in the morning.

There were a lot of people gathered outside the station.

Nine times out of ten, they were the fans of those top traffic idols.

I didn’t pay much attention.

I just sighed that being a fan meant having to wake up bright and early to show support.

But I didn’t expect that the moment I got out of the car, I heard someone yell, “Qin Xiang’er is here!”

I was bewildered.

Only to see banners being unfurled in the crowd—”Qin Xiang’er, get out of the entertainment industry.”

The surrounding fans started shouting even harder, and they excitedly began swarming toward me.

As if they wanted to tear me to shreds.

Suddenly, I didn’t know who in the crowd threw a paper ball at me.

Then the others became uncontrollable, picking up things around them and hurling them at me.

While throwing, they chanted, “Qin Xiang’er, get out of the entertainment industry!”

Sister Jiang, who was behind me, had already been pushed a hundred thousand miles away.

I was surrounded by ferocious faces and nasty curses.

I sighed deeply.

Money really isn’t easy to earn.

I couldn’t see the road under my feet at all.

In a moment of carelessness, I sprained my ankle and tumbled to the ground.

The people around were still crowding in, almost stepping on me.

I protected my head, only able to pray I wouldn’t get trampled to death.

Otherwise, I’d become the first female celebrity to be trampled to death.

The expected pain never came.

Before I even had time to see what was going on, someone swept me up into their arms.

Gu Zhixing frowned, his tone unhappy, “This is what you meant by ‘you don’t need me’?”

Lying in a hospital bed, the trending search drops from the sky.

The scene of Gu Zhixing carrying me away had been captured on camera.

The comment section completely exploded.

“Spit, shameless, still clinging to a sugar daddy.”

“How did someone like her snag a sugar daddy? The sugar daddy must be blind.”

“Damn, damn, who is the guy holding Qin Xiang’er? Who is he, who is he? He’s so handsome. I’m going to stan him!”

“To the person upstairs, give it up. He’s not some celebrity or idol.”

“Holy crap, isn’t this the famous CEO of the Gu Group?”

“So how did such an elite diamond bachelor take a liking to Qin Xiang’er? There are obviously a ton of pretty and young girls in the entertainment industry.”
