Classmates offer their help to Ji Hong, but she insists her family's problems are resolved. A former classmate, An Yuanyuan, arrives and immediately draws the attention of the men, boasting about her connections and seeking to one-up Ji Hong.

Now is the time for An Yuanyuan to showcase her abilities.

An Yuanyuan looked at Ji Hong and said, "Speaking of which, I know what’s happening in your family. Do you need my help with anything?"

What happened to the Ye Family was of no significance in Ji Hong’s eyes, especially now that Su Changfeng had established himself here.

Even though there was no way to compare to the tycoons An Yuanyuan mentioned, Ji Hong knew that Su Changfeng would become more powerful in the future.

Therefore, Ji Hong looked at An Yuanyuan and said, "Regarding our matters, you don’t need to worry, just some small issues I can handle myself."

"Haha, really?" An Yuanyuan mocked Ji Hong and said, "But the news I received said your Ye Family is going under, possibly even bankrupt?"

An Yuanyuan made no effort to hide her sarcasm, which made Ji Hong feel the hostility from her, but Ji Hong did not want to bring more trouble upon herself and hence was not angered by An Yuanyuan’s words.

She merely said, "If our family truly went bankrupt, this matter has nothing to do with you. No need for your trouble."

To An Yuanyuan, this was just a great opportunity to mock Ji Hong, and she certainly wouldn’t let it go.

She looked at Ji Hong and continued, "Otherwise, I always thought in school that we women must rely on our abilities to survive."

"As for those who marry into wealth, they often don’t end up well, especially if they themselves have no strength."

"If the wealthy family fails or they are despised, there is simply no way to fight back."

An Yuanyuan’s words implied that Ji Hong was just a useless waste.

Yet, seeing An Yuanyuan and Ji Hong confronting each other, the rest remained silent.

Firstly, these women lacked courage. After all, Ji Hong was from the Ye Family and An Yuanyuan claimed to know tycoons, so naturally, they had nothing to say.

When immortals fight, mere mortals interfering would suffer calamities.

These men thought it was a great opportunity. After all, if Ji Hong had any issues with An Yuanyuan’s words, they could use the opportunity to get closer.

Even if Su Changfeng was staying quietly in the corner, he heard An Yuanyuan’s words.

Though unclear about Su Changfeng and An Yuanyuan’s school relationship, seeing An Yuanyuan targeting Ji Hong made Su Changfeng realize he needed to act, so he immediately took out his phone to contact Shangguan Sichen.

Before leaving, Shangguan Sichen had given his contact information to Su Changfeng, ensuring that Su Changfeng could find him when he visited the Shangguan Family.

Therefore, when Shangguan Sichen saw Su Changfeng contacting him, he felt astonished, having just returned not long ago.

Could it be that Su Changfeng planned to come here now?

But unexpectedly, Su Changfeng on the phone immediately said, "Shangguan Sichen, speaking of which, how many of the top ten on the tycoon list are under your command?"

Though Shangguan Sichen didn’t understand why Su Changfeng asked, he honestly replied, "Seven or eight, probably."

Such news would shock others, but to Shangguan Sichen, it was quite normal.

Many on the tycoon list were merely pawns in Shangguan Sichen’s hands.

Su Changfeng continued, "Ask if any of these people know this woman, An Yuanyuan. If they do, let her be more discreet."

Shangguan Sichen felt baffled, unclear why Su Changfeng would say such a thing about a woman. However, since it was Su Changfeng speaking, Shangguan Sichen decided to oblige.

Since the person seemed to have some connection to Shangguan’s subordinates, if Shangguan Sichen couldn’t handle this well, Su Changfeng might blame Shangguan Sichen.

This would result in Shangguan Sichen unfairly taking the blame.

Shangguan Sichen immediately agreed to handle the matter.

After ending the call, Su Changfeng continued to stay there, uninterested in the events happening at the party.

An Yuanyuan continued to publicly criticize Ji Hong, trying to show off her prowess and satisfy herself.

An Yuanyuan looked at Ji Hong and said, "Ji Hong, this is a great opportunity for you. You definitely should not miss it."

"After all, you became a Ye Family daughter-in-law, yet probably never helped the Ye Family much. Now you can act, wonder what you think."

"What are you talking about?" Ji Hong frowned and looked at An Yuanyuan.

"I’m saying if you could beg me, I might help your Ye Family," An Yuanyuan said.

Ji Hong finally reacted and realized what An Yuanyuan intended; her earlier words were just laying the groundwork for Ji Hong to beg her.

But Ji Hong didn’t care about the Ye Family’s situation at all, after all, it had nothing to do with her anymore.

Though Ji Hong wanted to avoid conflict with An Yuanyuan, she certainly wouldn’t beg her.

Thus, Ji Hong looked at An Yuanyuan and said, "What are you saying? How could I possibly beg you?"

An Yuanyuan’s face darkened, then coldly said, "You know, just my words can completely ruin your Ye Family!"

"Go ahead, I don’t live with the Ye Family anymore; what happens to them has nothing to do with me," Ji Hong replied indifferently.
