The Fake Heiress Fades from the Spotlight, but Winning Big by Slacking Off and Collecting Rent

After a car accident, Yan Qiao was selected by the Space-Time Bureau. If she completed ten lifetimes of missions, she could be reborn. She worked overtime, following a 997 work schedule to finish h...

Chapter 37 Why bother caring about her? tushumi.cc

The Four Gentlemen of Yancheng were selected by insiders based on three criteria: family background, wealth, and appearance. None of these criteria could be overlooked.

Yancheng is home to many powerful families, but there are four prominent families, led by the Pei family, whose roots have been firmly established in Yancheng for over a century and have remained strong over time.

The four young masters were naturally selected from among them.

Leading them were Pei Yuzhi from the Pei family, Xi Luo from the Xi family, Shen Zhou from the Shen family, and Xiao Yunqi from the Xiao family.

Two of them appeared on the show, and the director was beaming with pride.

If Pei Yuzhi had come, this show would probably have been a huge hit.

If it were the Third Master of the Pei family who came here… the director shuddered, not daring to even think about it.

Xi Luo leaned against the tree, his long legs casually stretched out, his gaze flippant.

"How come I'm just like him?"

He was a spoiled brat who never handled family affairs.

Shen Zhou is different from him. He holds an important position in the group at a young age and has achieved remarkable results.

He's not some minor celebrity; in terms of status, he has considerable assets. It's truly surprising that he would participate in this program.

Yan chuckled softly, "It's all the same."

In her eyes, there was no difference.

The happiest person in the room was none other than Yan Yaoyao.

Her bright eyes sparkled; when she saw Chen Zhou appear, she wanted nothing more than to rush towards him.

"Brother Chenzhou, it's you! What brings you here?"

Such a familiar demeanor reminded one of how Yan Qiao had greeted him in the same way before, only to be humiliated by Chen Zhou's actions.

But when facing Yan Yaoyao, Chen Zhou always showed a touch more tenderness.

"Why else would I come here?" He smiled indulgently.

Yan Yaoyao's heart was pounding, but since this was in front of the camera, she didn't have the courage to ask too directly, and she didn't know if Shen Zhou meant it that way.

She timidly turned her head to look at Yan Qiao, only to find that Yan Qiao wasn't looking in her direction.

Yan Yaoyao shifted her feet, and Chen Zhou grabbed her wrist.

"What's wrong?"

Yan Yaoyao bit her lip, "I'm afraid Yan Qiao will be unhappy if she sees this."

Chen Zhou raised an eyebrow. "Why bother caring about her?"

They already had fans who shipped them as a couple, and now they're even more obsessed.

Since Shen Zhou has been so blunt, it's clear that Yan Qiao deliberately tried to curry favor with him, shamelessly so.

You've lost a lot of weight.

Yan Yaoyao bit her lip and pulled her wrist away.

"I'm dirty, don't get your clothes dirty."

I haven't showered for several days, so I'm not exactly clean and look quite disheveled.

Chen Zhou's voice was cold and clear: "No."

Yan Yaoyao glared at him, "What do you mean you can't? You have no idea what I've been through here."

Shen Zhou: "I know, I watched the live stream."

[Ahhh, so sweet! So Young Master Shen was watching the live stream with us!]

He definitely likes Yao Yao a lot!

I remember someone saying before that Young Master Shen has a fiancée surnamed Yan, and some even speculated that it was Yan Qiao...

[Yaoyao also has the surname Yan! Could it be Yaoyao?]

Everyone started speculating, realizing they'd fallen for the pairing of a big star and a domineering CEO.

Yan Yaoyao looked pleasantly surprised, "You watched our live stream?"

She could hardly hide her joy.

She entered the entertainment industry to make money.

But if I could marry Shen Zhou, I would be guaranteed a lifetime of wealth and honor, and I wouldn't have to worry about money.

Shen Zhou smiled gently, "Of course."

Xi Luo is an unruly playboy with a roguish air about him.

Chenzhou, on the other hand, is like a piece of gentle and refined jade, exuding the noble air of someone from a wealthy family. After being polished and refined, it is particularly easy to win people's favor.

Yan Yaoyao was just like that, easily immersed in his tenderness.

"Are you really going to participate in our program this time? This program is very demanding, and it might not be suitable for you."

Why should someone like Shen Zhou come here and humiliate himself?

Shen Zhou glanced at Xi Luo, his gaze sweeping over Yan Qiao beside him.

He reached out his hand to Yan Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, I'll be your teammate from now on. Please take good care of me during this time."

Yan Yaoyao smiled shyly and took his hand.

Xi Luo turned to look at Yan Qiao, and after confirming that she had no emotional fluctuations, she suddenly felt relieved.

"You really do look like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle." Xi Luo didn't even need to look to know what kind of comments those netizens would make.

If it were anyone else, they would have come out to clarify by now.

She was clearly Chen Zhou's fiancée, so why should she endure this humiliation?

Ruan Cha was puzzled. "What Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Zang Mingqi guessed what was going on and looked at Yan Qiao with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Yan Qiao smiled calmly, "It's nothing. There's no need to get angry over unimportant people. My breast tissue is very delicate."

Silo scoffed, "It's irrelevant, too."

For some reason, hearing Yan Qiao's words made him feel at ease.

"I just spotted wild boar tracks in the woods. I'm trying to find fresh water by following these boars. Shiloh, are you going?"

Shiloh: "Go!"

As the two stood up, they caught a glimpse of a sunken boat approaching them.

Yan Qiao picked up the short knife and bamboo basket on her own, and heard Chen Zhou speak: "Young Master Luo, it's been a long time."

In terms of status, Xi Luo, an orphan who lost both parents, had an awkward position in the Xi family. He was also a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, so he was really no match for Chen Zhou.

But one thing is clear to everyone: standing behind Xi Luo is the Third Master of the Pei family.

That person is the head of the Yancheng aristocratic families, someone even Shen Zhou's father has to smile obsequiously at.

Master Pei is an elder who watched Xi Luo grow up, and also the one who put him on this show to gain experience.

Only when he speaks will Shiloh obediently listen.

"Yan Qiao, let's go."

He took the initiative to greet her, but Xi Luo ignored him and called out to Yan Qiao as they disappeared into the jungle.

Netizens could practically see the sparks flying between these two young masters.

[Siro is really showing no respect.]

[It seems like he's... venting his anger for Yan Qiao?]

Come on, Yan Qiao doesn't have that much influence. These two gentlemen weren't exactly on good terms to begin with.

Shen Zhou's expression stiffened, but fortunately Ruan Cha spoke up at that moment: "Is Young Master Shen here to participate in the program?"

Shen Zhou resumed his gentle smile: "Yes."

Looking at his impeccably dressed suit and tie, Ruan Cha realized that this outfit was not suitable for wilderness survival.

His eyes conveyed a complex emotion.

Yan Yaoyao noticed this too and quickly said, "Brother Chenzhou, do you want to change your clothes?"

Chen Zhou: "No need. Don't worry, now that I'm here, I won't let you suffer any more grievances."

The viewers in the live stream went crazy shipping the couple, and their popularity soared, even trending on social media. Some people even began to suspect that Yan Yaoyao was Shen Zhou's fiancée.

Some netizens have even started fanfiction featuring glamorous celebrities and domineering CEOs, making it quite a spectacle.

Ruan Cha and Zang Mingqi exchanged a glance and chose to remain silent.

This must be capital backing up Yan Yaoyao.

If Shen Zhou were truly here for Yan Yaoyao, he wouldn't actually participate in the wilderness survival competition; he would likely resort to cheating.
