Chapter 463 Yu Yinyin's Unwillingness

Yu Yinyin was brought back to the Xia family, and Wen Jiu went straight to her room, yawning.

Xia Qingtian helped Yu Yinyin, whose face was pale, to the living room to rest.

The previous incident had already been resolved, and Yu Yinyin had calmed down by the time they got into the car.

It was just that Wen Jiu's driving later was truly terrifying, and Yu Yinyin was completely scared into this state by her driving.

"Have some water," Xia Qingtian brought Yu Yinyin a cup of water and placed it in front of her.

"Thank you," Yu Yinyin whispered thankfully. She then looked around, taking in the luxurious decor, and felt out of place. Her toes curled up in her shoes out of self-consciousness.

The soft yet firm sofa and the high-quality Persian rug now felt like they were covered in thorns, making her unable to sit still.

"I've already asked someone to tidy up a room temporarily. It might take a while. Would you like to take a hot bath first?" Xia Qingtian asked Yu Yinyin, "A hot bath might warm you up a bit."

"Thank you," Yu Yinyin said thankfully, then added apologetically, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"It's no trouble at all," Xia Qingtian smiled lightly, looking at Yu Yinyin's face. Then she asked curiously, "Your face..."

"My, my face has recovered," Yu Yinyin replied, touching her face. "All my money was spent on the restoration treatment."

"Isn't that great? You look quite pretty," Xia Qingtian mused for a moment before saying, "Speaking of which... did you participate in Wanmeng Entertainment's talent show?"

Xia Qingtian felt that Yu Yinyin's face looked somewhat familiar. Hearing Yu Yinyin's voice, she recalled a contestant she had noticed during a talent show she had watched.

Her singing was good, and although her stage presence was still a bit unpolished, her voice was excellent.

It was far superior to Mo Jianing's voice, which was artificially tuned by a million-dollar autotuner in post-production.

Upon hearing Xia Qingtian mention Wanmeng Entertainment's talent show, Yu Yinyin shuddered, tears instantly welling up in her eyes, and she trembled all over.

"Did, did something happen?" Xia Qingtian asked tentatively.

"Actually..." Yu Yinyin didn't hide anything and told Xia Qingtian everything that had happened in the trainee dormitory. "I didn't seduce anyone, I really didn't... I was always practicing, I didn't do anything, I..."

Choking back sobs, Yu Yinyin couldn't continue.

Taking a few breaths, Yu Yinyin managed to calm herself down a little. "I originally thought that if I won the prize, or found a suitable job, I could afford the follow-up restoration treatment. But... but now I haven't gotten any money, and I owe Wanmeng Entertainment 200,000 yuan.

Until I pay back the money, I cannot appear in the media in any form, otherwise, if I breach the contract, I will have to pay more... I..."

At this point, Yu Yinyin finally broke down again. She had no money left.

"This sounds like the style of Mo Jianing and Yu Linwan," Xia Qingtian said, not surprised at all after hearing the story.

Having dealt with Mo Jianing and Yu Linwan quite a bit, Xia Qingtian was not at all surprised that these two would do such a thing.

"Alright, stop crying. Didn't you say Gu's Entertainment thought highly of you? Isn't this perfect?" Xia Qingtian said, propping her chin with one hand.

"If it were before this happened, it would be fine. But now that this has happened, how could I have the nerve to approach Gu's Entertainment again? Besides... besides, the breach of contract penalty is 200,000 yuan... I haven't even worked yet, and they want me to have 200,000 yuan upfront. How is that possible..." Yu Yinyin sobbed.

If she had just been kicked out, she could have directly accepted Gu's Entertainment's offer and started over.

But that 200,000 yuan...

She wasn't eighteen or nineteen anymore, a newcomer with unlimited potential.

She was already getting older, with little stage experience, and even the simplest dance moves had to be practiced many times before she could barely keep up.

How was she worth 200,000 yuan?

"200,000 yuan is nothing compared to the value of your life. As long as you are alive, you have the chance to earn more than 200,000 yuan. But if you really die, let alone the foolish debt of 200,000 yuan, you won't be able to wash away the dirt that was splashed on you. If you carry dirt with you throughout your life, are you truly willing?" Xia Qingtian asked Yu Yinyin.

"I... I'm not willing, how could I be willing? I didn't do anything wrong, they slandered my reputation with baseless accusations. Those who don't know the truth follow and curse, while those who know the truth hesitate to speak... I'm not willing..." Yu Yinyin wiped her tears with her hand.

"It's right that you're not willing," Xia Qingtian said, patting Yu Yinyin's shoulder. "200,000 yuan? I'll pay this money for you."

"!" Yu Yinyin was stunned and turned her head sharply to look at Xia Qingtian, her wet eyes full of disbelief. "But, I..."

After recovering, Yu Yinyin shook her head and quickly waved her hands, saying, "No, I've already caused you a lot of trouble. If it weren't for you earlier, I..."

"This money isn't a gift, it's a loan," Xia Qingtian said with a smirk. "I never do business at a loss."

"But that's 200,000 yuan..." Yu Yinyin hesitated, looking at Xia Qingtian. "I, I don't know if I can pay it back."

She had seen the darkest side of this world and had been at the bottom of despair.

Even if she had the chance to climb up, she might not be able to truly climb out of the abyss.

She once only hoped to live a normal life like everyone else.

Even this became a luxury, so how could she dare to have any hope?

"Don't worry, you don't need to pay it back," Xia Qingtian said with a meaningful smile. "Whoever took the money, I will naturally make them return it with double."

She would not let Mo Jianing go, and she was not sure if she would let Yu Linwan off easily either.

Since that was the case, she would take this opportunity to deal with both of them.

If she could also resolve Song Junhan along the way, that would be even better.

Looking at Xia Qingtian's profile, Yu Yinyin blinked, a complex feeling filling her heart.

If only she could live like Xia Qingtian, and have Xia Qingtian's confidence, how wonderful that would be.

As soon as the room was ready, Xia Qingtian let Yu Yinyin move in. Although it was only a guest room, it was fully equipped.

After Yu Yinyin took a hot bath, Xia Qingtian thoughtfully had a servant bring over brand-new pajamas and some personal items.

Lying in the warm bed, Yu Yinyin pulled the covers up to cover her face.

Her eyes gazed out the window, filled with hatred, longing, and the exhaustion of having experienced too much.

As Xia Qingtian had said, she was not willing.

Why were they bullying her?

She was not willing.
