He was just about to grit his teeth and apologize to Shen Yunzhi first.
Who knew Shen Yunzhi would interrupt his casting with a smile and tell Mr. Ji, "No need for an apology. Just call off the engagement. I don't believe you haven't heard a thing about how Ji Nanxian has treated me all these years."
Mr. Ji explained, "Nan Xian is still young, just a child. I always thought he was fooling around."
Shen Yunzhi gave a few perfunctory hums. "Right, right, right. Over twenty and still young, just a child. If you hadn't said anything, I would've thought he was an orphan."
Mr. Ji: "..."
Mr. Ji was thick-skinned, too.
He shamelessly cleaned up Ji Nanxian's mess. "Calling off an engagement isn't something to joke about. I hear you're still filming the show, so focus on that. I happen to be entertaining clients, too. Once we're all free, we can meet and discuss this."
With that, Mr. Ji finished speaking.
And hung up immediately.
His attitude already made it clear.
This engagement wouldn't be so easy to break off.
A few seconds later, the phone in Ji Nanxian's pocket vibrated as well. Several messages had arrived.
They were most likely from his father.
Probably telling him to call back once this was over.
Ji Nanxian's scalp prickled.
He was absolutely going to get chewed out.
Ji Nanxian had never imagined Shen Yunzhi would actually take such a trivial matter to his father.
Ji Nanxian glared at Shen Yunzhi, his gaze practically spitting fire.
"Fine, you're fucking impressive!"
Shen Yunzhi raised her baseball bat.
"You haven't seen how fucking impressive I can be."
Now that the call was over, Shen Yunzhi grabbed her baseball bat and took revenge on Ji Nanxian.
"You fucking idiot! You actually dared to slap me?!"
Seeing Shen Yunzhi's rationality drop back to zero, Ji Nanxian turned and ran in fright.
She would even beat Xiao Yao.
Let alone him.
Shen Yunzhi swung her baseball bat, chasing Ji Nanxian and beating him.
Chi Zong happened past and tried to break up the fight.
"What's wrong? What happened? You can't hit people! Shen Yunzhi, put the weapon down first. Can't we talk this out?"
When Shen Yunzhi saw Chi Zong blocking her, she raised her baseball bat.
And came straight at him.
"You're in this together, aren't you!"
Seeing that Shen Yunzhi really intended to hit him, Chi Zong felt his hair stand on end and took off running, too.
Chi Zong said, "No! I was just passing by!"
Ji Nanxian was a grown man.
Yet he could barely outrun Shen Yunzhi.
He ran circles around the living room sofa with Shen Yunzhi chasing him.
Ji Nanxian said, "Can you stop being so uncivilized?!"
Shen Yunzhi said, "So what if I'm uncivilized? Would being civilized earn me any blessings in this world?!"
Shen Yunzhi swung her baseball bat at him.
Ji Nanxian hurriedly covered his head and ducked.
This crazy bitch!
The villa's staff also came out and tried to break up the fight.
"Teacher Shen... Teacher Shen, calm down."
"Exactly, exactly..."
Shen Yunzhi attacked everyone indiscriminately.
All of you, fuck off!
Other people transmigrated into all sorts of wish-fulfillment novels with overpowered cheats!
She alone had landed in a world surrounded by fucking idiots!
Who would go crazy if not her!
God!
I'm never making another wish to you!
Once I make a wish, you know exactly how to screw me over!
Shen Yunzhi showed everyone what she was like when she went off the rails.
She was vicious, twisted, crawling in the shadows, and attacking everyone.
For a while, the entire livestream descended into utter chaos.
The viewers didn't know where to look.
Shen Yunzhi chased Ji Nanxian, beating him.
The system, which had been silent for a long time, couldn't resist emerging to reason with Shen Yunzhi.
"Host, you should avoid going too OOC. What if everyone thinks you're possessed?"
Shen Yunzhi had been driven mad.
She had spent so many years working like a beast of burden in the real world.
She could endure any hardship.
But nobody had ever slapped her.
"Possessed?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm possessed!"
"Bugger it, bugger it, bugger it, bugger it!"
"Why can't I be an octopus? Then whenever someone pisses me off, I could give them eight huge slaps at once!"
"I'm finally living a life straight out of a novel. What joy, what joy. The author is Yu Hua."
"Yes! I've gone crazy!"
"Come on! Beat me to death!"
The system: "..."
[...]
[She's lost it! She's lost it!]
[Why does Shen Yunzhi feel like a decent person pushed past her breaking point?]
[...I really love Shen Yunzhi's mental state. Instead of wearing yourself down internally, go crazy and wear everyone else down.]
[There's no need to be too normal in life.]
The livestream villa no longer offered Ji Nanxian enough room to hide.
Shen Yunzhi swept her bat at Ji Nanxian again!
He was so frightened that he jumped straight out the window and fled outside.
Who knew that when he jumped down from the window frame.
He would accidentally step on the watchdog's tail.
Dahuang suffered this completely undeserved disaster and let out a pained "Awooo!" before clamping his jaws around Ji Nanxian's calf.
Ji Nanxian also let out an agonized howl.
"Ow, ow, ow! Let go, let go, let go!"
Xiao Yao poked his head out from the second-floor balcony to watch the drama.
And saw Ji Nanxian running, running, running.
Dahuang dangled from his leg, refusing to let go, swinging, swinging, swinging.
Shen Yunzhi followed behind, pursuing him with swings, swings, swings.
A group of staff trying to stop the fight chased, chased, chased behind them.
Xiao Yao fell silent for a moment, then murmured what everyone was thinking.
"Crazy. A little crazy is good."
In the end, even the security team was deployed to restore order.
They finally managed to restrain Shen Yunzhi.
The medical team arrived.
The accompanying doctor examined Ji Nanxian's leg first.
The doctor asked, "How did you get this injury?"
Ji Nanxian's anger flared. "A dog bit me!"
The doctor had clearly been following the drama, too, and thought Shen Yunzhi had beaten him.
The doctor said disapprovingly, "Leave your emotions out of it. Who are you calling a dog? You're a grown man. Is that all you've got?"
Ji Nanxian: "..."
Meanwhile, Jiang Yunli.
She was still waiting for Ji Nanxian to resolve things for her.
But she waited and waited.
And Ji Nanxian still didn't return.
It had been so long.
She thought things must have been more or less settled.
So Jiang Yunli went online to check, feeling apprehensive.
But the mockery directed at her had only intensified.
[Shen Yunzhi wasn't like this before. She was perfectly normal for five years. Ji Nanxian and Jiang Yunli really are something, managing to drive her crazy. (Thumbs-up.JPG)]
[If the director hadn't released the recorded footage this time, we wouldn't have known Jiang Yunli was such a fake innocent bitch.]
[I can't imagine how much mud they slung at Shen Yunzhi before.]
The best comedy always had tragedy at its core.
Although the viewers were grinning from ear to ear watching Shen Yunzhi go crazy.
Who had driven Shen Yunzhi crazy.
Was plain for everyone to see.
Ji Nanxian coming off worse against Shen Yunzhi was a minor matter.
But he still had to soothe Jiang Yunli.
Shen Yunzhi stayed out of it as though it had nothing to do with her, while Ji Nanxian directly hired paid trolls to clear Jiang Yunli's name.
[Shen Yunzhi's a victim, my ass. Even if all that other nonsense was just rumors, there's no excusing her flaunting her wealth and being a desperate simp who interfered in someone else's relationship.]
[Who's the real fake innocent here? Shen Yunzhi plays crazy and acts dumb, then spouts all kinds of stuff to win sympathy. In just a few days, this bitch has been whitewashed so thoroughly she even has fans.]
[Rich people really are rich people. The Biological Daughter sure is different. A couple of little moves to manipulate public opinion, and her reputation's completely spotless.]
[Don't you know what Shen Yunzhi used to be like? She just had the director throw together a script and carefully crafted this crazy, clueless persona, and a whole bunch of idiots actually like her.]
Jiang Yunli hadn't made any public appearance.
After the paid trolls Ji Nanxian hired got involved.
Jiang Yunli also posted on Weibo.
[Whatever you say. Living is too exhausting.]
Then the official All Villains account also issued a notice.
-Jiang Yunli would temporarily withdraw from the show for health reasons.
After that, media outlets also reported that Jiang Yunli had been photographed going to see a therapist.
