Chapter 71
At that moment, Xena glanced at Ryan and Zion. Then, she noticed that they had no intention of speaking up for her.
In that split second, shame and anger surrounded filled her heart.
Then, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Since no one said anything, the director felt awkward.
At that moment, Jason spoke up. “I remember Emily and Xena are a team with Ryan and Zion.”
Still, Ryan and Zion said nothing.
Jason also felt awkward.
As Xena lowered her head, she started to whimper.
Soon, it turned into a wail.
As she cried, she suddenly dashed out of the yard.
Her reaction startled
everyone.
Ryan and Zion clearly hadn’t expected this to happen either.
They were just hurt by Xena and wanted her to realize her mistake and apologize to them.
Who knew Xena would react like that?
Zion, who had always doted on Xena, quickly chased after her when he saw her crying.
Jason and Emily also ran after her.
Initially, Ryan was going to follow too. However, he stopped abruptly and looked at Janie.
Janie had a blank expression, seemingly as if she were an outsider.
However, Ryan could felt that Janie’s gaze was filled with sarcasm.
For some reason, he didn’t dare to face her as he lowered his head.
The production team had not expected Xena to storm off, and they were all left speechless.
Ryan was utterly exhausted and didn’t want to say anything.
[Poor Xena! She just wanted her brothers to comfort her.]
[Poor Ryan and Zion. They were just feeling sad.]
[I think everyone of us are the pitiful one. It’s really quite frustrating to watch how the Jenkins interact.]
Settling the money was originally the last step of the live broadcast.
Thus, the live broadcast was closed accordingly.
“What kind of show is this?” Jackson exclaimed. “Ryan, aren’t you going to comfort
your sister?”

Ryan wanted to go, but he didn’t move after seeing Janie.
He remained silent
However, Janie felt a sense of relief.
If she had really continued living with the Jenkins, it would truly be a living hell.
She felt that her family now was better.
Left with no choice, the director said, “Let’s all take a break”
David was curious and asked Ryan, “What’s going on with you all? Do you need our help?”
Hearing his words, Ryan remained silent and felt embarrassed.
“We just have a little disagreement.”
David’s eagerness to gossip was doused.
“Oh, I see, he replied faintly.
Janie wasn’t interested, so she turned around and left.
Jackson also gave up on mocking Ryan and quickly followed.
Jackson, can we talk for a moment?*
Ryan suddenly called out.
Hearing his words, Jackson stopped in his tracks.
He didn’t know what Ryan had to say to him.
“Go ahead.”
Ryan gritted his teeth and said, “Forget it.”
Jackson was stunned momentarily.
Then, he said unhappily, “Are you messing with me?”
“I’m sorry.” Ryan lowered his head.
Initially, he wanted to ask Jackson how he usually got along with Janie.
However, he felt that there was no reason to ask.
After all, why bring humiliation upon oneself?
Janie glanced at him and said nothing.
Jackson didn’t care and just left.
What had just happened had already sparked heated discussions online.
[Is Xena crazy? I had enough of her. If she were my sister, she’d definitely get a beating. This is just too much! If I hadn’t

been watching the live stream, I would’ve thought she was being bullied.]
[Actually, I can understand. She is just a little girl who is being pampered. It’s normal her to feel sad when she can’t accept herbrothers‘ sudden attitude.]
[Janie is also a pampered girl, but why doesn’t she act like this? There is something wrong with Xena. The Jenkins Family should really start to teach her some manners.]
[I’m so jealous of Xena. She is so lucky.]
In the meantime, Jason and Molly returned.
In the end, Ryan still went to find Xena.
After a long time, the trio finally returned.
Judging by their looks, they had returned on good terms.
The first thing Xena did was apologize. “I’m sorry for what happened today. I wasn’t in a good mood today and caused you guys trouble.”
Everyone could only comfort her.
Then, the director asked, “Are you guys still a team?”
“Of course,” Zion replied without hesitation. “We are a family.”
The director nodded.
In that split second, Emily’s situation became awkward.
She signaled to Xena, but Xena ignored her.
Looking at her reaction, Emily bit her lip. After all, if Xena didn’t accept her, she would have nothing to eat next time. Moreover, she would also be ridiculed by everyone!
“Why not join our group, Emily?” Jason said considerately.
Hearing his words, Molly was speechless.
On the other hand, Emily looked at Jason gratefully.
To protect her own rights, Molly gritted her teeth and said, “But we only have 15 dollars.”
“That’s enough for us. It doesn’t cost much in a small village,” Jason replied.
“But…” Molly tried to retort.
After all, she did most of the work when Jason did nothing at all.
Thus, why should she benefit others when she was the one who worked so hard?
“Molly, we’re all friends. Don’t be so ruthless.” Jason scolded.
Hearing his accusation, Molly felt wronged but didn’t know what to say. In that split second, she was in tears.
She couldn’t do anything since Jason was heavily promoted by the company while Emily was a senior.

At that moment, Emily said, “Molly, if you really don’t welcome me, then forget it…”
Of course, Molly didn’t want that, but what else could she do?
In that split second, David frowned and said, “Isn’t this a bit too far?”
Hearing his words, Jason and Emily looked at him.
Emily said, “David, I know you hate me, but I just want to team up with others. Why do you have to say such things?”
