CHAPTER 102: CHAPTER 102: GET A LAWYER

Su Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and spoke cheerfully to her live stream audience.

"Did you all hear that? The handsome delivery guy... um... his name is Xia Liang. He agreed to let me stream! Come on, Xia Liang, say hello!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Liang didn’t even turn his head.

"There are a thousand roads, but safety is priority number one. What’s wrong with you? Can’t you see I’m driving? And you’re asking me to wave hello? How did you even get into college?"

"Uh..."

Being scolded by Xia Liang like this, Su Yi wanted to die from embarrassment. He was berating her in front of thousands of her followers. Does she have any pride left?

Instantly, some bootlickers in the chat came to her defense.

"What’s with the attitude?"

"Exactly, if you don’t want to greet us, then don’t. Why put on an act?"

"Our Su Sannian asked you to say hi to give you face."

"You really think you’re so special just because you have some money?"

...

However, after Xia Liang’s tirade, Su Yi fell silent. Only after he stopped talking did she whisper, "I’m sorry."

Xia Liang, however, replied indifferently, "You don’t have to apologize to me. You haven’t wronged anyone."

...

Seeing Su Yi apologize only to be met with Xia Liang’s indifference, the bootlickers in the stream chat erupted again.

"Su Sannian already apologized, what is this guy’s problem?"

"Are all rich people like this? So petty?"

"Is he even a man? Can’t he be more magnanimous?"

"It’s already not easy for a girl like Su Sannian to go this far."

...

Fortunately, Xia Liang couldn’t see these bootlicking comments. Otherwise, a flame war would have likely erupted.

「Half an hour later.」

Xia Liang and Su Yi emerged from the underground parking lot of Ziyi Commercial City, the largest commercial hub in Qingyun City. Walking along the shopping street, Su Yi once again pointed her phone at Xia Liang, her eyes fixed on him intently.

"Can I now?"

Xia Liang glanced at the little loli.

"No. I only agreed to let you stream, I never agreed to be in your stream."

With that, Xia Liang walked ahead.

Furious, Su Yi stomped her foot. She had swallowed her pride precisely so Xia Liang would show his face and introduce himself, which would boost her popularity. But this guy was still so infuriatingly uncooperative.

Seeing this, many people in the live stream chat couldn’t stand it.

"Su Sannian! Stop following him! What’s he so arrogant about!"

"He’s asking for a beating! So what if he’s a little handsome? So what if he has some money? What else is there? What’s the big deal?"

"A *little* handsome? That dude is handsome by a *billion* points and has a *billion* points worth of money!"

"He has the capital to be arrogant. What about you guys? Nothing but sour grapes."

...

The live stream chat was abuzz with debate.

Watching Xia Liang walk away, Su Yi gritted her teeth in frustration. Suddenly, a crafty glint appeared in her eyes. Gripping her phone, she ran forward.

A collective shiver went through the audience as they saw her expression. They knew that whenever Su Yi looked like that, she was up to no good. Plenty of people had been the target of her pranks before. For a moment, many of them offered a silent prayer for Xia Liang.

"Let’s have a three-minute moment of silence for big bro Xia Liang."

"Su Sannian is finally showing her true demonic nature."

"Serves him right for ignoring Su Sannian. Let him suffer a bit."

"What do you guys think Su Sannian will do to prank him?"

...

Amidst a flurry of speculation in the chat, Su Yi dashed forward and grabbed Xia Liang’s hand. Meeting his gaze, she cleared her throat with a small cough. She then looked up at him with wide, innocent eyes and, in a voice that was now incredibly high and childlike, she whined, "Uncle Xia~ I’m so tired! Didn’t you say you were taking me to see the goldfish and buying me a lollipop? How come we’re not there yet?"

??? What the hell?

Xia Liang was completely dumbfounded.

What on earth is this girl doing? Is she trying to ruin me?

There were quite a few people on the shopping street. The combination of a handsome man and a cute loli was already attracting attention, but Su Yi had deliberately raised her voice, ensuring everyone around them heard her.

"?? Is that man even human?"

"How could he lay a hand on such a young child?"

"That guy must be a monster! She can’t be more than a teenager, right?"

"Yeah, she’s wearing that little dress. She probably hasn’t even graduated middle school yet."

"Call the police! Call the police! Arrest that man!"

...

In an instant, nearly every eye in the vicinity was locked on Xia Liang. There was no helping it; Su Yi’s performance was just too convincing. Everyone instinctively cast the blame on Xia Liang. After all, in their eyes, such a sweet and adorable "child" like Su Yi couldn’t possibly be lying.

Meanwhile, in Su Yi’s live stream, the viewers who saw this unfold drew a collective sharp breath.

"’Hiss’... Damn, isn’t Su Sannian’s move a little too ruthless?"

"Is big bro Xia Liang actually going to get dragged to the police station?"

"Isn’t this going too far?"

"I think he deserves it. Serves him right for being so arrogant."

...

Still holding Xia Liang’s hand, Su Yi looked up at him, her large, watery eyes unable to conceal her smugness. She had already decided that as soon as Xia Liang panicked and surrendered, she would immediately reveal it was all a joke. After all, a prank like this had serious potential for damage. Some hot-headed passersby might even decide to play the hero and "rescue" the loli.

However, things didn’t go according to her script.

After an initial flicker of shock, Xia Liang’s expression returned to normal.

Has he already thought of a counterattack? Su Yi wondered, but she quickly shook her head. No, my plan is foolproof.

Xia Liang remained silent, offering no explanation. Just as Su Yi thought he was about to give up, he simply reached a hand into his pocket. To everyone’s confusion, he pulled out his phone and began dialing a number.

Su Yi was a bit stunned. "What are you doing?"

Xia Liang glanced at her. "Calling my lawyer."

?????

Not just her, but everyone in the crowd was confused.

"Calling a lawyer for what?"

"Does he know he’s going to court? Trying to get a lawyer to negotiate first?"

"It seems he really did do something to this child!"

"I thought so! What an animal!"

...

Ignoring their comments, Xia Liang shot an indifferent look at Su Yi. "You should prepare, too. You’d better hire a lawyer and get ready for the lawsuit."

?????

This statement sent a chill down Su Yi’s spine. "Why would I need a lawyer? A lawsuit for what?"

"For slandering me!"

As Xia Liang’s words, spoken one by one, sank in, Su Yi was stunned into silence.
