Cheng An'an smiled, "I'm glad you think it's good. I can help you arrange things on my end."

Although Cheng An'an didn't have connections in the film and television industry, she knew a lot of people in the circle and had many friends. A little money on the side would make things easier.

A faint smile curled at the corners of Yan Zhirou's lips. It felt great to sit back and enjoy the benefits without lifting a finger.

At this moment, Cheng An'an's phone suddenly rang. She lowered her head to check, and her expression softened. "Zhirou, my brother is calling."

Yan Zhirou's smile froze slightly, her eyes flickering for a moment. "Your brother's call? Then go ahead and answer."

Cheng An'an picked up the video call, smiling as she greeted the young man on the screen. "Kaiyun, what's up? Why are you free to video call me today? Where's mom? Is she beside you?"

Cheng Kaiyun had suffered a head injury, his intelligence now limited to a three-year-old's level. He had also suffered severe facial injuries, which left ugly scars despite the repairs. His eyes were blank and confused as he called out to Cheng An'an in the video. "Sister, sister... good... good?"

Cheng An'an smiled warmly. "I'm good, but I'm busy with work, so I can only talk to you for a bit. Have you been behaving at home today? Don't make mom upset, okay?"

Cheng Kaiyun struggled to understand her words, speaking haltingly. "I... I'm good, good, not bothering, not bothering..."

A woman's face appeared behind him in the video, an older woman who looked similar to Cheng An'an, with a serene demeanor and a gentle smile. Watching her son, whose mental faculties were compromised, her eyes were filled with tolerance and love.

Every time Cheng An'an saw this, her heart tightened. Her family hadn't abandoned her brother or despised him because of his disfigurement or cognitive impairment. They had still allowed him to grow up in a loving environment.

If her brother hadn't been in that car accident, if he had still been a normal young man, with his looks and abilities, his future would've been so bright.

Cheng An'an couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. It was such a pity. Everything had changed, and there was no going back.

She turned the phone camera towards Yan Zhirou. "Kaiyun, look, who am I with?"

Yan Zhirou's face stiffened, and she involuntarily twitched her eye. She looked slightly uneasy as she glanced at the young man on the screen. "Hey, Xiao Kai."

Cheng Kaiyun's eyes widened in fear as he saw Yan Zhirou, and he pointed at the screen, shouting, "Red! Red! No!..."

Cheng An'an quickly reassured him. "Kaiyun, it's okay. Don't be scared. Zhirou is not a bad person. She's your lifesaver. Be polite, and call her ‘sister,' okay?"

Unfortunately, Cheng Kaiyun became more agitated. He began flailing his arms, shouting incoherently. His mother tried to hold him back, but couldn't.

"Red! Red! No!..."

Cheng An'an apologized quickly and said to the woman in the video, "Mom, I'll hang up now. Please take care of Kaiyun."

She ended the call.

Yan Zhirou's expression slowly returned to normal, her tense nerves finally relaxing.

Cheng An'an smiled apologetically. "Sorry, Zhirou. Kaiyun has been like this ever since he got sick. He's especially scared of strangers now. He didn't scare you, did he?"

Yan Zhirou forced a slight smile. "No, you've taken good care of him."

Cheng An'an silently chuckled at herself, not pressing the topic any further.

After watching Yan Zhirou's live stream, Yu Qianxia waited in her bedroom for a long time before the system finally responded, [Host, I found something!]

[But, it might also be nothing at all.]

Yu Qianxia understood what it meant. The clues found by the Fortune-Stealing System might be fake, hidden under layers of deception.

Yu Qianxia: [It's fine, just tell me.]

System: [Yan Zhirou got her driver's license when she was 21. Yan Yanhua had saved some money privately and initially wanted to buy her a red Cadillac. But when they test-drove the car at the dealership, it bumped into another car. Yan Yanhua felt it was unlucky, so she didn't buy it.]

Yu Qianxia frowned, [What happened to that car later?]

System: [The car was sent back to the factory for repairs. It was never sold, so it was sent back again and eventually dismantled for parts, which were sent to the repair department.]

Yu Qianxia: [Were there any other people with them during the test drive?]

System: [No, it was just Yan Zhirou driving the car. She didn't want the staff to follow her, so during the test drive, only Yan Yanhua and her daughter were in the car.]

Yu Qianxia: [So, that car no longer exists now.]

System: [Yes.]

Yu Qianxia thought for a moment and then asked, [Was the crash during the test drive serious?]

System: [Not serious, just a simple scrape.]

It seemed like there was no issue.

But things that seem harmless often have the biggest problems.

Yu Qianxia had some suspicions in her mind, but how could she confirm them?

Yan Zhirou got into Cheng An'an's car after returning from the Love and Care Foundation.

Cheng An'an dropped Yan Zhirou off at the villa and then turned to leave.

But just as she opened the car door to get in, a figure also opened the opposite car door and got in with her.

And sat down calmly, as if it was her own car.

Cheng An'an: "..."

The girl sitting beside her was completely still, as if she was at home, relaxed and composed.

Cheng An'an blinked in slight surprise. "Yu Qianxia, what are you doing in my car?"

Yu Qianxia slightly curled her lips and shifted the conversation. "You should've received my lawyer's letter this morning, right?"

Cheng An'an pursed her lips, momentarily speechless, her expression darkening.

Yu Qianxia continued, "I have evidence of all the rumors you've spread about me these years. You can't escape."

Cheng An'an clenched her fist tightly. "Don't think I'm scared just because you say that. How things will end is still uncertain. It's not up to you right now."

"My lawyer has already received the letter. My legal team will handle it from here. At that point, my lawyer will talk further with you. Now, please get out of the car!"

Cheng An'an despised Yu Qianxia because of Yan Zhirou.

She knew that Yan Zhirou didn't like Yu Qianxia, and in the Yu family, Yu Qianxia's presence was a threat and obstacle to Yan Zhirou.
