C14 Wang Ziyan's Sadness! the Ban Was about to Begin!!

Shangguan Ruohong's complexion shifted noticeably.

Despite her own family's lackluster status, Shangguan Ruohong was well aware that the Wang family, to which Wang Ziyan belonged, was a major household. Yet, the Wang family was not her own.

Initially, if Shangguan Ruohong had the audacity to talk back to others, such as the celebrity Liu Shihan, it was because she knew she had the backing of Wang Ziyan.

The clout of the Wang family, associated with Wang Ziyan, was indeed intimidating.

Even influential figures from the political and business sectors of other regions would likely show some deference to Wang Ziyan and her family. But what about the local heavyweight, Fatty Liu? Beyond his public persona, who could guess his clandestine maneuvers?

Continuing to provoke Young Master Liu Feng today could spell disaster for her.

Shangguan Ruohong's reasoning was razor-sharp; not even Liu Shihan could outmatch her in a war of words, proving Shangguan Ruohong was no ordinary individual.

Now, facing Liu Feng, Shangguan Ruohong realized she hadn't laughed or reacted much. She was relieved she hadn't kept up her mockery of Liu Feng, leaving room for the situation to be salvaged.

The key to dealing with entitled heirs like him was to simply ignore them.

With this in mind, Shangguan Ruohong glanced at Liu Feng, chose to remain silent, and retreated to stand beside Wang Ziyan, a mere two steps away.

Wang Ziyan was still processing the situation. She had wanted to laugh earlier, but the overwhelming circumstances and pressures made it impossible for her to find humor in anything.

Now, overhearing the surrounding chatter, Wang Ziyan felt an even greater sense of the relentless reality.

Who could have imagined that her best friend Shangguan Ruohong, who had publicly sparred with the famous Liu Shihan, would have someone like Fatty Liu's son among her fanbase?

Regardless of the outcome of this skirmish, at least for the moment, it seemed Liu Shihan had the upper hand, overshadowing her.

Between the robust support of his fans embarrassing her friend and the anticipated repercussions of subsequent events, it was certain that Liu Shihan was gearing up for retaliation.

Liu Shihan had previously mentioned her close friendship with Director Liu, the manager of Hemipeel Tower.

Now, due to a dispute over the rent for the 66th floor of Hemipeel Tower, she found herself in a relentless back-and-forth with the building's management and property owners.

It was becoming clear that her strategy might backfire, and she anticipated that Liu Shihan would likely mock her for it.

This realization made Wang Ziyan's heart sink even further.

At that moment, Wang Ziyan turned and caught sight of Xiao Nan, standing at the edge of the crowd with a smile on his face.

Her discomfort intensified instantly.

Xiao Nan had unexpectedly shown up, despite her having told him to leave.

She hadn't expected him to actually come in.

What was worse, he was smiling. While she could barely muster a bitter smile, there he was, beaming as if he couldn't relate to her distress at all.

He was of no help, a complete pushover, and seemingly heartless to boot.

Memories of the morning's rain added to her woes. She had sold her car due to the company's financial troubles, which meant Xiao Nan had to take her on his electric scooter, leaving her exposed to the rain. Her clothes were still damp, and the sadness welling up inside her was so strong she felt an urge to cry.

But with her best friend by her side and surrounded by so many people, Wang Ziyan knew she couldn't afford to shed tears. Crying would only show weakness, something she refused to concede to.

She held back the tears threatening to spill from her eyes, determined not to cry again.

Despite her resolve, she couldn't stop herself from shooting Xiao Nan a few fierce glares.

Meanwhile, Xiao Nan was pondering a solution to the situation. His junior sister had brought him the Micaster documents along with those of Hemipeel Tower, making him the new owner.

Whatever Liu Shihan or Director Liu might say, it was irrelevant now. As the rightful boss of Hemipeel Tower, he wouldn't allow Liu Shihan to become the property owner. He...

Lost in thought, Xiao Nan suddenly felt a piercing gaze directed at him from the heart of the gathering.

When Xiao Nan turned to follow the gaze, he found nothing.

It was Wang Ziyan's gaze that had caught his attention, but by the time Xiao Nan looked again, she had already averted her eyes.

This was because Shangguan Ruohong was whispering in Ziyan's ear.

"Ziyan, let's get out of here. That guy is Fatty Liu's son, so there's no point in talking to him. He may look quite handsome, but his voice is grating, and his eyes seem fierce. It's best we leave quickly... Once we're gone, I doubt he'll bother us any further."

Shangguan Ruohong urged Ziyan, hoping she would agree to leave with her.

After hearing this, Ziyan nodded almost instinctively, and the two of them, hand in hand, made to exit the scene.

It seemed wiser to step away now and deal with any matters later.

However, unbeknownst to them, Liu Feng had witnessed Shangguan Ruohong's relentless mocking of Liu Shihan.

So, as Shangguan Ruohong reached for Ziyan's hand to lead her away from the crowd, Liu Feng gestured towards them.

"Hold it, you two, don't go anywhere! I heard everything, especially you, Shangguan Ruohong, berating my idol and constantly bickering. What's your deal? You seem to enjoy scolding people. I've already threatened to blacklist you, yet you appear utterly unfazed?"
