Xia Xin was too preoccupied with taking notes on what she needed to do, forgetting to respond.
Zhao Nan raised her voice in urgency, âAre you listening?â
âYes, I heard!â Xia Xin hastily replied.
Zhao Nan reiterated, âRemember, until you have concrete evidence that can entirely debunk their claims, donât make any comments or release any videos. Do not try to defend yourself! Stirring up debates and discussions on the internet will only make matters worse.â
Xia Xin nodded and said solemnly, âDonât worry, Iâll follow your advice.â
Zhao Nan continued, âFor now, take a leave of absence from the zoo these next couple of days. Youâre not suitable for public appearances at a time like this. Iâm busy with work right now, but when Iâm off duty, Iâll explain everything in detail. â
After giving her instructions, Zhao Nan hurriedly hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, after Wan Wan finished her interview, she returned to her empty dressing room, dialed a number, and sounded triumphant, âI canât believe that after disappearing for a few days, you managed to pull off such a big stunt for me.â
On the other end of the call, Wu Jia lounged in a bathtub filled with rose milk, smugly saying, âOf course. Dare to bully my cousin, and Iâll make sure she pays dearly. She made you the target of online hate, so Iâm going to make sure she experiences the same.â
Wan Wan burst into laughter at the thought of how Xia Xin had been teary-eyed and overwhelmed. She said, âMy good little cousin, when I return, Iâll treat you to a feast!â
Wu Jia played with the flower petals in her bath and said, âA feast isnât necessary, but can you help me with one thing? Do you remember the guy who came to pick me up that night? Iâve taken a liking to him, and I want to get him.â
Wu Jia hadnât experienced trying to seduce a man and failing, and that challenge aroused her competitive spirit. In her mind, any man could be hers if she wanted him, and the fact that the man that night had taken her to a hotel but did nothing, only planning to take a bath and leave, left her feeling defeated.
Wu Jia was determined to make him fall at her feet, unless, of course, he wasnât interested in women.
Wan Wan only knew that she had sent MO Shu to pick up Wu Jia that night, not realizing that it was actually Zhang Chao who went. Consequently, she assumed that Wu Jia had set her sights on MO Shu.
Wan Wan said, âYou can rest assured; Iâve got it covered.â
After hanging up the phone, Wan Wan reviewed her carefully orchestrated plan, marveling at how flawlessly it had unfolded.
The whole situation began a week ago when Wan Wan learned that her cousin, Wu Jia, was coming to visit. She immediately started plotting and sent Wu Jia a picture of Xia Xin in advance.
Wan Wan intentionally recommended a restaurant to Gao Xin to ensure she could confirm Xia Xinâs whereabouts that night, hoping to obtain her home address by having someone follow her. Due to waiting for news, Wan Wan didnât answer Wu Jiaâs calls, which led to those misunderstandings.
However, fate had other plans. That night, Wu Jia unexpectedly ran into Xia Xin, and she took matters into her own hands to trip up Xia Xin.
Xia Xin had been too preoccupied with the online hate comments to focus on anything else. To pass the time, she decided to browse the Beast Language Systemâs Shop. Little did she know what awaited her there.
When Xia Xin opened the Shop, she was dumbfounded. All her Affinity points were gone. She repeatedly opened and closed the page, hoping she was mistaken, but no, it was zero.
Xia Xin even looked at Layle, pointing at her balance, and asked, âZero? All gone?â
Layle nodded, confirming the balance was indeed zero.
Xia Xin was in shock. She knew that negative comments from netizens could affect her Human Affinity points, but she never expected it to drop so quickly. In just one day, she had lost all her accumulated Affinity points of one hundred thousand.
Xia Xin wanted to cry, but she didnât have the energy for that now. She just wanted to track down Wu Jia and give her a piece of her mind. Xia Xin vowed never to pick up random people and bring them home, not even cats or dogs!
At that moment, Xia Xinâs phone suddenly rang with an unknown caller ID. She was puzzled, âWho would be calling me at this hour?â
Xia Xin answered, âHello, whoâs this?â
The caller on the other end immediately started hurling insults, âYou wretched woman, youâre a homewrecker, a mistress..â
Xia Xin couldnât bear to listen any longer and hastily disconnected the call..
