Normally, she relied on Yin Jinsiâs position at work, and she didnât hesitate to show off in the residential compound. Many were eager to see her make a fool of herself.
In the end, it was the leaders from the transport company who came over, and only then did they leave He Jinxuanâs yard.
Once the Yin family left, people around gossiped: "That person is really selfish. Yin Jinsi wants to harm others, yet she comes to bother Captain He. She sure has a lot of nerve."
"Quite right, now that Yin Jinsi is out of that position, letâs see how sheâll continue to show off and bully others."
"I heard that the reason Yin Jinsi harmed Jinxuan was because her family couldnât take advantage of Captain He. Thatâs why she reported him."
"Canât blame her, itâs what happens when you listen to pillow talk, try to harm others but end up ruining yourself."
"Alright, everyone say less about this, thereâs no need to spread it around. We live in the same residential compound, and itâs embarrassing for us all."
Seeing everyone leave, several leaders finally dispersed with dark faces, hands sort of behind their backs.
Before they came, the police had called, and it was certain that Yin Jinsi was finished. The higher-ups took the matter very seriously.
As for Jian Minru, who was detained, when she saw Old Sir Jian: "Dad, hurry up and get me out of here, I donât want to stay here."
Old Sir Jian had aged a lot in just a few days. It wasnât easy to even see her, taking her out was impossible.
Listening to his daughterâs complaints and rants, Old Sir Jian realized that he had indeed spoiled her too much over the years.
Dizziness hit him, and he fell directly to the ground.
Yet, Jian Minru shouted, "Dad, you canât faint! What will I do if something happens to you?"
After hearing this, Old Sir Jian completely blacked out.
Not a single word of concern for his health, she only cared about what would happen to herself.

Elsewhere, Xinyan and He Jinxuan were walking toward the small courtyard.
As they were about to reach it, someone called from the phone booth at the alley entrance: "Xiao Han, there was a call for you in the afternoon. They said theyâd call back at eight tonight."
Xinyan asked, "Where did the call come from?"
The person was arranging magazines while replying, "It was a lady, but I didnât ask anything else."
Hearing it was a lady, Xinyan thought it was Mrs. Gu Wanqing, so she went over to make the call: "Hello, Aunt Chen, is my mom home yet?"
Sister Chen laughed when she realized it was Xinyan, "Just got in. Iâll go call her."
Gu Wanqing happened to come out and heard Sister Chen, she hurried over: "Hello, Yanyan."
Upon hearing her motherâs voice, Xinyan asked: "Mom, are you looking for me?"
Gu Wanqing paused for a moment: "No, why do you say that?"
Xinyan heard this and realized it wasnât her mother calling before, wondered who it could be.
But before Xinyan could figure it out, Gu Wanqing said: "Itâs fortunate you called home. I do have something to talk to you about."
Xinyan got back to the point: "What is it?"
Gu Wanqing lowered her voice and said: "Lately, be extra careful when you go out."
Xinyan instantly understood what Gu Wanqing meant: "Mom, I got it. No worries, just take care of yourself."
Although Gu Wanqing knew her daughter was quite capable, as a mother, she was still very concerned.
After all, those people would do anything to achieve their goals.
They spoke a bit more, and Xinyan mentioned the shopâs opening after tomorrow.
Gu Wanqing didnât think her daughter was being frivolous; instead, she was very supportive: "Alright, then Mom will find time to call over your aunt and uncle, weâll come and support you."
Xinyan smiled brightly: "Thanks, Mom."
After chatting for a few more days, they finally hung up.
But it did serve as a reminder for her, so she dialed a few more calls, informing the shopâs opening after tomorrow, finally noting the phone bill before leaving.
The phone booth uncle said: "Xiao Han, youâre really something. Congratulations on the business opening, wishing you great success."
Xinyan often used the phone booth, and the couple running it were very friendly, she had become quite close with them over time.
Xinyanâs face was full of smiles: "Thanks, Uncle, may your words be true."
