Lan Xiyan felt light and exhilarated at the same time. She hadn't felt free and just herself like this for a long time. She never thought that coming clean to the public and confronting Xing Yiyue would make her feel this way. Somehow, she was grateful for what Xing Yiyue had done, or else she would have been forever running away, refusing to face her fears.
While she was grateful for Song Xinji's help, a part of her didn't trust the woman. Song Xinji was the one who got between her and Song Fengyan in the past. While it was true that she was the one who broke up with him, tricking him to believe that she aborted their child, Song Xinji was also the reason for their nasty break up.
Song Xinji didn't care one bit about her reputation as an actress and only intervened because a family member was involved in the scandal. Had the issue not been related to Lan Yunru, Lan Xiyan knew that Song Xinji wouldn't waste her time to help her at all.
