Yin Xiamo flinched. She stared at the hand on her arm with disgust, as if it were a repulsive gecko. "Let go of me!

And if you utter one more word of nonsense, I will reserve the right to pursue legal action against you." Yin Xiamo said coldly, returning Liu Bao’s gaze with a hint of menace. Liu Bao glanced around, reluctantly releasing his grip on her arm, though a more venomous glint flashed in his eyes as his gaze shifted from Yin Xiamo to Yin Cheng standing behind her. Yin Xiamo started, gripping Yin Cheng’s hand tighter, desperate for them to leave immediately!

But the surrounding reporters were too tightly packed; escaping with both of them seemed nearly impossible. She turned and whispered to Xiao Cheng, "You go first!" When their mother passed away, Xiao Cheng was still young. She had always told him their mother loved him dearly, and he had almost no memory of his mother’s profession as a bar singer or her death...

"Sis..." Yin Cheng remained rooted to the spot. Is this the entertainment industry? Is this the world his sister survived and fought within?

He could clearly see the deep malice in the eyes of the reporter blocking his sister, and the excited, gossipy gleam in the eyes of the others. His sister was surrounded by them, appearing like a lamb struggling to maintain her dignity, yet doomed to be devoured by the pack of wolves. "So you are Yin Xiamo’s brother," Liu Bao’s eyes flared brightly, staring intently at Yin Cheng.

"Hey, little brother, tell us, are you also illegitimate? Have you ever seen your birth mother entertaining clients? Was your sister a child prostitute when she was little..." "Smack—!" Yin Xiamo’s hand shot out, delivering a heavy slap across Liu Bao’s cheek!

Her face was ashen, her eyes blazing with unstoppable fury, and she said coldly, "Are you some kind of mad dog? It’s one thing to yap at the artists in this industry, but to bite indiscriminately at innocent outsiders too!" The air instantly froze! The assembled reporters stared in shocked disbelief—an artist had dared to strike a reporter in public!

The bridal shop manager and Xiao Lu were stunned speechless, and all the customers turned to look. Shen Qiang merely glanced briefly at Yin Xiamo before his gaze returned to Luo Xi. Since seeing Yin Xiamo, he seemed as if life had been suddenly drained from him; his back was rigid, yet he appeared terribly fragile and solitary.

His gaze never left Yin Xiamo, his eyes were pitch black, and his lips were so pale they looked bloodless. Shen Qiang felt an involuntary pang of pain in her heart. Could she never replace her?

"Yin Xiamo—!" Liu Bao recovered from his shock. He clutched his burning cheek, shouting with rage and hatred, "I will sue you in court! Yin Xiamo!

I won't let this go easily! I will absolutely ruin your reputation! You ungrateful wretch, how dare you..." "As you wish." Yin Xiamo calmly lifted her chin, meeting his gaze.

"But I warn you again: I reserve the right to legal action for every defamatory word you utter. Regardless of my mother's profession, she remains the greatest mother in the world to me. Even if she loved singing and performing, even if she worked in a bar, it was her choice, and I respect it and love her as always.

And those vile words? Only vile people can speak them." Her radiance was as powerful as a queen's. Luo Xi watched her silently, as if the intense, cold, and resilient light radiating from her had scorched his eyes!

In childhood, for her brother's sake, she had coldly and fiercely warned him that she would use any means necessary to drive him away otherwise. Summer Foam III
