Playing favorites too much

d contentedly, and whispered, “I’m fine. It was probably the smell of the herbs from earlier that affected me; it gave me a headache.”"Don't lose the chain at a critical moment, it's fine to rest for...The woman let out a cold snort. “Who do you think I am Didn’t the Lin family butler remind you what to say and what not to say”

This woman has a typical internet celebrity face, looking glamorous but her expressions are somewhat stiff. I roughly guessed her identity, she should be Ms. Xu Yaqi, the daughter of Mr. Xu, the secretary.

Xu Yaqi winked at the bodyguard, and the bodyguard suddenly grabbed my wrist from behind me.

"What do you want to do This is the school gate." I frowned at this young lady.

"So what if you're at the school gate Are you afraid of losing face Then you still dare to covet my man" She walked toward me, arms crossed, with a seductive air, her piercing gaze scanning me from head to toe.

She reached out and hooked the red thread on the edge of my collar, the one Jiang Qiyun had given me as a token. I growled unpleasantly, "Let go, don't touch my things!"

She released her fingers, feigned disgust and clapped her hands together, sneering: "...Not a single valuable thing on your entire body. A woman as impoverished as you wants to get close to Lin Yanhuan"

"Ms. Xu, I'm just acting on behalf of Mr. Lin. Are you overthinking things You're working too hard, remember to take care of your brain." I said unhappily.

She slapped me across the face with a resounding "pa!" I was pinned down by her bodyguard, unable to dodge.

I was slapped out of the blue. My face burned with pain, and anger surged within me.

"Mu Xiaoqiao, is that you Daring to make fun of me, are you tired of living Master Qi said you were rising stars in the circle, but you're too conceited. You actually dare to point fingers at Master Qi's arrangements This slap is a reminder for you, juniors should know their place." She sneered and raised her hand again -

"Again! I struggled with all my might, and suddenly, the bodyguard slammed his knee into my waist!"

This blow made me wince. I wanted to struggle desperately, but I was afraid of hurting the contents inside my stomach, so I dared not move too much. I closed my eyes and endured another slap.

Two slaps landed on the same side of my face, the pain made me grit my teeth. Although our family is modest, I've never been treated this way before!

Passersby who weren't in the know pointed and speculated that it must be the main wife coming to discipline the mistress.

Xu Yaqi hissed, "What do you think you are Trying to steal my man I set up a love trap, it's none of your business! You shouldn't have spoken up! Yan Huan, throw everything in this room out! Are you happy now"

"...Ms. Xu, if you really want to catch a man, it's better to do less surgery on yourself. Which man would marry an inflatable doll as his wife He might just find it novel and play around with it for a while. Look at your current appearance now, even a facial expression will cause the silicone to shift!"

I'm only being tough-mouthed because I'm angry. This isn't rational at all. If she had the driver and bodyguard beat me up, I wouldn't even be able to fight back. If anything happened to what's in my stomach, Jiang Qiyun would probably die of anger...

She yelled at the bodyguards, "You two, beat her to death! A poor, little bitch dares to fight me for—"

Before she could finish her sentence, there was a sudden loud crash. A sports car came speeding toward them, hitting her car parked by the roadside head-on. The impact sent her car careening forward, dragging Xu Yaqi under it!

The accident happened almost right before my eyes. I screamed and jumped back in fright, and screams erupted all around me.

The bodyguard immediately let go and ran up to save the person. He and the driver were both trembling with fright as they called on the phone.

I watched helplessly as the accident happened. Xu Yaqi is now disheveled and trapped under the car, I don't know how badly she's hurt. The driver and bodyguard are on their phones by the car, and a truck behind them is honking its horn furiously and charging towards us...

I closed my eyes, my heart pounding.

The icy breath behind me sent shivers down my skin, a bone-chilling fury washing over me.

It was Jiang Qiyun.

Is that okay

"...Do you have something to say" Jiang Qiyun gripped my shoulders, turning me to face him.

My eyes were fixed on the long streak of blood on the ground. The driver and bodyguard had been pinned under the car and dragged forward quite a distance.

"Jiang Qiyun... there's no need to do this... Although I'm angry too, but—isn't this punishment a bit too harsh"

I'm not a pushover, but I believe in respecting life. Besides, I'm worried that Jiang Qiyun doing this will bring him a lot of karma.

Mu Yunliang once said: "You favor Mu Xiaqiao too much, beware of the heavenly punishment for taking sides, Your Majesty."

He himself has said that even immortals have their own destinies. If because of me, he keeps intervening again and again, wouldn't that add to his sins

"I know my limits, I was just giving them a lesson, I didn't harm them." Jiang Qiyun sneered with cold eyes. "But I want to remind the Department of Punishment that for these arrogant and domineering children of nobles, you should appropriately deduct their lifespan."

Reduced lifespan No wonder we often hear about second-generation heirs driving luxury cars and dying in accidents. It turns out that doing too much evil can actually reduce one's life span...

"...Your face is swollen." Jiang Qiyun's obsidian eyes flickered with a faint, dark gold iris, like magma about to erupt.

He lifted his hand, his back pressed against my face, cooling my cheek with his icy skin.

Although it was a chill, I felt incredibly warm.

Many noisy sounds surrounded me, shouts, cries for help, and the sirens of ambulances, all seeming to fade away.

"You... how did you get dressed like this" I looked down at his clothes.

He was dressed in a three-layered robe with wide sleeves. The innermost layer was pure white, the middle layer was deep black with hidden dragon patterns, and the outermost layer was a sheer veil. He wore a ring on his waist, exuding the charm of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

He frowned, answering with a touch of annoyance: "...Didn't I remind you not to wander off alone Where is your pure-yang blood friend Your brother You need me to come rescue you at this time!"

"Are you busy Could this be your work uniform" I tried to suppress a smile.

Jiang Qiyun frowned and said, "Mu Xia Qiao, this is not funny at all. If you can't protect yourself, just stay home and don't go out! I can't get there every time!"

“I see.” It’s not me who started this trouble. … Judging by Xu Qijin’s arrogance, even if I stayed home, she might just come to our house and cause a scene.

》》》

An ambulance arrived, and so did the police officers. These things happened right before my eyes, I couldn't just walk away. After describing the situation to the police officer, I saw my brother rushing over, worried that I was at a disadvantage.

I had already suffered a loss, being slapped twice out of the blue. As a result, when I saw Lin Yanhuan again, I gave him a cold face and didn't show him any kindness.

"Miss Mu, I didn't expect Xu Yaqi to be so arrogant and went to trouble you. It was my oversight and I failed to prevent it in advance. I'm very sorry." Lin Yanhuan came to our shop and apologized to me as soon as he sat down.

I turned my head away, ignoring him. My brother said unhappily to Mr. Lin, “Mr. Lin, you should really educate your bedside companion. Can you stand her temper”

"Pillow person" Lin Yanhuan sneered: "Who told you she's my pillow person"

>atriarch, Taishang Daozu, spoke of tranquility.I think the only time I was completely focused was when I desperately wanted to get to Qinghua Changle Realm and pay my respects all the way to the mount...
