Just when things seemed hopeless after watching the drama unfold online, the second episode of "Star Selection Girls" aired.

In the first episode, the show successfully created characters such as Gu Yinuo, who is terrible at both singing and dancing; Ning Yu, who is aloof and cold; Mu Zhaozhao, who is sweet and has a classical style; and Hua Ruoling, a rich heiress.

But unexpectedly, Hua Ruoling's image as a rich heiress collapsed after just one night.

Although she wasn't a real heiress, Hua Ruoling still returned to the competition.

The production crew, the cafeteria.

Gu Yinuo picked up a bowl of shrimp and exclaimed in surprise to the other trainees, "This buffet here lets you eat as much shrimp as you want! The food is amazing!"

Hua Ruoling scoffed dismissively, "You call that good?"

When Hua Ruoling spoke up, Gu Yinuo retorted, "It's already pretty good that there are shrimp! If this plate of shrimp were sold outside, it would cost at least fifty yuan, right?"

The difference between the two was immediately apparent from their first words.

After the broadcast, netizens indiscriminately mocked the two of them.

Some mocked Gu Yinuo: "[Eating shrimp is a grand feast? Does Gu Yinuo come from a poor background?]"

Another group pointed at Hua Ruoling: "Just listen to what she's saying, why are you acting like you don't know what's good for you? Are you the only one at the table who knows how to talk?"

As the insults escalated, they began attacking Hua Ruoling's background:

[Stop pointing fingers at the fake heiress; maybe your original family background was even worse than Yinuo's!]

[Yi Nuo lived an honest and upright life, and she neither stole nor robbed anyone. How could Hua Ruoling have the nerve to laugh at her?]

Gu Yinuo is portrayed as a beautiful but clumsy girl who is terrible at both singing and dancing. This kind of heartbreak makes fans feel even more sorry for her.

As the investigation continued, more people discovered Gu Yinuo's background.

Gu Yinuo grew up in an orphanage and was never adopted. She started working at the age of 16 to earn money. Because of her good looks, she was noticed by an entertainment company (Kuai Xue).

This lonely persona made fans feel even more sorry for her.

Some have even begun to make bold guesses:

[Gu Yinuo is an orphan, 18 years old, and might just be the long-lost heiress of the Hua family! @Hua's Enterprise, can't you investigate?]

Holy crap, now that you mention it, it might actually be true!

[It's even more heartbreaking to think about. Yi Nuo grew up in an orphanage and has hardly ever eaten shrimp. Meanwhile, Hua Ruoling is pampered and even mocks those who can't afford shrimp.]

Hua Hengzhe, surfing the internet at 12G speed, saw this message and immediately reported it to Hua Xuanhe, "Brother! There's news online that seems to be about our sister!"

Hua Xuanhe was looking at documents when he rubbed his temples. "Didn't I tell you to knock before coming in?"

"It's urgent!" Hua Hengzhe held up his phone and showed Hua Xuanhe a photo of Gu Yinuo, saying, "Look, doesn't she look like your aunt?"

The eyes do look somewhat similar.

Hua Xuan said helplessly, "I have already sent someone to find Gu Yinuo and ask her if she is willing to cooperate with the psychiatric evaluation."

Hua Hengzhe awkwardly withdrew his hand, "So you already knew, brother."

He thought he was the first to receive the news!

“I told you so, with my aunt being so beautiful, it’s impossible for my cousin to be ordinary-looking.” After Hua Hengzhe finished speaking, he looked around again, afraid that outsiders would hear him. “I don’t mean to say that Ruoling is not good-looking. She is definitely good-looking, just not pretty enough.”

Hua Xuan ignored his silly younger brother.

"If you ask me, Shi Xi looks more like my aunt," Hua Hengzhe said with emotion. "But Shi Xi's parents are still alive, so she's definitely not our little sister."

"When you're done talking, get out and remember to close the door." Hua Xuanhe looked down at the documents. "Have your secretary bring in a cup of coffee."
