Seeing Ju Jingyi's appearance, Fatty Chen's anger intensified, and he became even more arrogant.

He lost face at Ye Zhou's hands today and was seething with anger, with nowhere to vent it.

"What's wrong? Not saying anything?"

Fatty Chen sneered, "Let me tell you, either clean up and wait for me, or I'll withdraw my investment and you can wait to be sidelined again."

"Mr. Chen, I don't need to serve you, and I'm not afraid of being sidelined."

Ju Jingyi raised her head, the last trace of timidity in her eyes replaced by a cold determination. Her voice was not loud, but every word was clear.

"How dare you speak to me like that?"

Fatty Chen was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting the usually docile Ju Jingyi to become so assertive.

Live Stream Room——

[That fat bastard is disgusting. He got humiliated by Ye Shen, so he comes here to bully female celebrities?]

[Being sidelined? Does he even deserve that? Does he really think he's some kind of tyrant in the entertainment industry?]

It's hard to say for sure; it's much easier to sideline a relatively unknown celebrity than you might imagine.

[They just got humiliated by Ye Shen, and now they're trying to act tough again. They've got no shame!]

[Ye Shen, hurry and teach this fat bastard a lesson!]

……

The barrage of comments exploded instantly, densely covering the entire screen.

"Big sister, big brother, that pretty sister is so pitiful."

Little Su Yutong tugged at Ye Zhou's sleeve, glanced at Su Qing, her brows furrowed, and she tilted her head back, whispering, "That fat uncle is so fierce, he's bullying people, isn't he?"

"Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters."

Su Qing frowned slightly, her eyes filled with disgust as she looked at Fatty Chen, but she made no move, only shaking her head.

She has never been the type to meddle in other people's business, and in the entertainment industry, most things are based on mutual consent.

This world is fair; you reap what you sow.

Maybe that woman is waiting for the right price to go.

How so?

If I didn't really have this idea in the first place, why did I accompany this disgusting fatso to buy a car?

Su Qing had seen far too many things like this before, and gradually she got used to it.

Live Stream Room——

Does this mean they're giving up?

[Stop morally blackmailing us! We don't even know each other, why should we meddle in this?]

That's right, that's how the entertainment industry is—it's better to avoid trouble.

【But……】

There are no "buts" in this context; unless someone has a powerful backer, this kind of thing happens everywhere!

……

"But the teacher said that if you see someone being bullied, you can't pretend you don't see it!"

The little girl pursed her lips, but refused to give up. She gripped Ye Zhou's clothes tightly, her earnest yet aggrieved little face tilted up, and her clear voice rang out.

One sentence, clear and distinct, reached everyone's ears.

Ye Zhou lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl with a wronged expression, and fell silent for a moment.

To be honest, he didn't want to get involved in such trivial matters.

The situation in the entertainment industry goes without saying.

Dirty, realistic, survival of the fittest.

Although Ye Zhou was not afraid of trouble, he did not want to actively seek it out.

But the little girl's words are more straightforward than any logic, and they touch people's hearts more deeply.

This is especially true for Ye Zhou.

After all, he had experienced many such moments in his previous life.

This led him to pretend not to see injustices, grievances, or even distorted facts when he gradually established himself in society.

It's not that I don't want to care, it's that I dare not, it's that I can't, it's that life has worn me down to the point where I can only protect myself.

Now that I've been given a second chance at life, and I clearly have the ability to stand up for myself, do I have to pretend to be mute again?

Live Stream Room——

The little girl makes a good point, but in reality, how many people would actually stand up for someone who is being bullied?

[Ye Shen, don't pretend you don't see this! Do something about this fatso!]

[Even a little girl has spoken up, how can we tolerate this?]

Sigh, we're not even as good as a little girl. How pathetic is that!

……

"Brother Ye, the live stream is getting really noisy right now, don't you think?"

Just then, the photographer saw the barrage of comments popping up in the live stream, his palms sweating. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke to Ye Zhou.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhou raised his eyes and glanced lightly across the camera lens.

That glance was like looking through a lens and seeing countless viewers in front of the screen who were watching the spectacle, worried, and indignant.

Su Qing also subconsciously looked at Ye Zhou, wanting to see what choice he would make!

"Xiaoyutong, you're right."

Ye Zhou didn't answer the photographer, but gently stroked the little girl's head, his voice soft but unusually firm: "We can't pretend we can't see it."

The next second, Ye Zhou slowly raised his head.

The last trace of languor in those eyes, which had always carried a hint of nonchalance and indifference, had completely vanished, leaving only a bottomless coldness.

"Tongtong, be good and wait for me here."

"Big brother, go and chase that bullying uncle away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zhou turned around and walked step by step toward the direction where Fatty Chen and Ju Jingyi were.

"Big brother, you can do it!" The little girl clenched her pink fist.

On the other side, Fatty Chen, publicly humiliated, twitched his fat face, his anger finally bursting forth: "Fine, very well! You think you're all grown up now? I'll show you what happens when you offend me!"

He raised his hand to grab Ju Jingyi's arm.

"Fatty, you've got quite the nerve! The Qing Dynasty is long gone; this is a civilized society now!"

Before her hand could even touch the hem of her clothes, a lazy yet incredibly authoritative voice came from behind her: "Miss, don't worry, if he won't invest, I will."

Fatty Chen's raised fat hand froze in mid-air.

The entire exhibition hall instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

He stiffly and slowly turned his head, his eyes meeting Ye Zhou's cold, emotionless gaze.

"Mr. Ye..."

Fatty Chen's lips twitched, and his voice trembled, "I...I was talking to my business partner, it shouldn't have anything to do with you, right?"

"Is it alright?"

Ye Zhou chuckled and slowly walked forward, blocking Ju Jingyi's path: "But I just can't stand it, so what?"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire audience erupted in cheers.

Su Qing stood still, her pupils slightly contracting.

She never expected that someone would actually stand up to an investor for the sake of a complete stranger, a minor celebrity.

Although that young star is very pretty.

The live stream room exploded with excitement—

[Old Thief Ye's Godly Rich Mode Activated!]

He said he'd invest!

[That fatso is dumbfounded! Threatening someone with resources? They'll just bury you in money!]

Ju Jingyi has finally met a real powerhouse!

[A civilized society? LOL, Ye Zhou is slapping him in the face!]

……

Fatty Chen's face turned pale and then red, his fat face flushed red, but he didn't dare to utter a single word.

He had just witnessed Ye Zhou's wealth, and dared not confront him head-on. He could only snort angrily and then slunk away.
