[I almost died of laughter. Lin Zhu thought he had found some big news, but it turned out he was just picking up a takeaway! ]
[Who told her to take the side road? So she was so careful just to eat this bite of fried chicken? ]
[Did anyone see the delivery guy's expression? He almost thought he was breaking the law by delivering food! ]
[This sister has a bit of a comedic effect. She beat someone up and came to get her takeaway in a hurry. Then she was recorded live by the program crew. Guess without a prize: Will Xiang Wanning get to eat the takeaway in the end? ]
[Tsk, you all forgot that when Xiang Wan Ning first debuted, she advertised that she had a small stomach and could be full after eating a little, and she often looked down on other female stars, so why did she order takeout for herself? ]
[She made it up on her own, and it's a comedic effect. I want to vomit when I see her! Wait and see, the one who entered the police station today is that Chief Lin, maybe she will be the next one! ]
Xiang Wanning was unaware of the comments in the barrage, because when Lin Zhu handed over the microphone, her earphones also fell out.
Then she heard her manager's angry voice coming from the headset: "Xiang Wanning, how dare you order takeout behind my back?!"
"No, how could that be? That's not happening." Xiang Wanning denied it three times subconsciously. After hesitating for a moment, she put her takeaway into the delivery boy's arms with a look of heartache: "He delivered it to the wrong person."
Delivery boy: …
Are you questioning my professional ability?
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiang Wanning mouth the words "I'll give it to you to eat". He understood immediately and said he had the wrong person and turned away.
The audience in the live broadcast room was silent.
...They can come up with such reasons. Do they think they don’t have eyes?
The agent in the headset seemed to laugh out of anger: "Alright, hurry up and pack your bags and come down. We have to go to the police station to take a statement first. So many people are waiting for you!"
"I've packed it a long time ago." Xiang Wanning said, looking at Lin Zhu who was following behind her, and directly blocked the elevator door to prevent her from following: "Just wait for me downstairs, no need to come up."
Her unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of the audience in the live broadcast room.
[What do you mean? Is there something going on at Xiang Wanning's home? ]
[Of course she is. Look at how guilty she is. If she was honest, why would she be afraid of others coming up to her? ]
[Blind guess, Mr. Lin will go up today, maybe Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhao can also go up? ]
[There might be something shameful in the room. I am not afraid to assume the worst of her!]
"Sorry, Director Yu said he wants to film the whole process." Lin Zhu refused directly. The embarrassment of finding out that the man was actually a takeaway boy disappeared instantly. Her eyes lit up, and she wanted to carry the camera to Xiang Wanning's dormitory before her! Don't talk about invasion of privacy. Not to mention that artists in the entertainment industry have no privacy to speak of, in this variety show, they have a heavy responsibility - to dig out the unknown side of each artist! Xiang Wanning frowned irritably, not caring about the live broadcast in progress: "Then he is really annoying."
Yu Quezhou, who was being criticized, raised his eyebrows.
He was receiving several messages from Xiang Chisong on WeChat on his mobile phone.
Xiang Chisong: She had lost a lot of hair in the hospital before, so we did a DNA test and it turned out that she was indeed my biological sister.
Xiang Chisong: Please take care of her more.
His fingertips flew as he replied quickly.
Yu Quezhou: I can’t take care of you.
Yu Quezhou: She said I was annoying.
He raised his head and saw Xiang Wanning on the screen letting Lin Zhu in with a reluctant look on her face.
Lin Zhu thought he would be able to take pictures of something amazing, but when he entered the room, he saw a simply decorated room that was completely unobstructed. The quilt on the bed was neatly folded, and there was a suitcase next to it.
...There wasn't even a TV, and the floor was even made of concrete.
This doesn't look like the dormitory of an artist who has debuted for many years. It looks like a cheap house that a college student who has just entered society and is in financial difficulty has to choose.
Xiang Wanning had already picked up the suitcase. The suitcase was a little damaged all over, but the handle was extremely smooth, and it was obvious that it had been used for a long time.
Yu Quezhou took a photo and sent it over, and sent a message to Xiang Chisong: It's so pitiful to be your sister.
Lin Zhu was filled with shock. Even though Xiang Wanning was not likable and was scolded on the hot searches every day, she had been in the industry for five years, had several remarkable works, and looked very glamorous on the red carpet.
Why would her company arrange a dormitory like this for her? She thought so and asked, "You live here?"
"Yes." Xiang Wanning was about to go out with her suitcase: "I told you there was nothing in the room and told you not to come up, but you refused to believe me."
Lin Zhu felt a little guilty for seeing how difficult her life was. With this in mind, she no longer asked Xiang Wanning to introduce what was in her room, but instead asked her to open her suitcase and introduce what she brought with her.
This was the final step, but Xiang Wan Ning clearly didn't understand Lin Zhu's good intentions. She hugged her suitcase tightly, and her tone was a little exasperated: "When we signed the contract, we said that I should keep the suitcase myself, and the production team won't ask about it!"
At this time, the barrage also saw Xiang Wanning's residence, and after a brief silence, it began to gush out:
[I admit that I was just deceived by her. She must be playing a pitiful game. The suitcase is full of valuables! ]
[I just softened my heart. I said, how could a celebrity live here?]
[That’s right, I have one or two luxury bags, how could she not have one?! ]
[Damn, she is so scheming, does she think that this will win our sympathy and clear her name from all the bad things she has done in the past few years? I remember clearly when she was trying to put down my sister! ]
[I secretly liked my brother's negative comments, and the resourceful person joined the crew to add more scenes, so that my brother's scenes were all cut short. I remember this grudge clearly! ]
Lin Zhu also felt that her sincerity was misplaced. She explained: "I collected the suitcase myself, but the program team had to check to see if there were any illegal items."
"What did you say? Do you suspect that I brought something illegal?"
Lin Zhu said, "In the future, our program will earn travel expenses based on the completion of tasks. We will collect everyone's mobile phones and wallets after the gathering. Of course, we will also check if the guests have hidden any money."
Xiang Wanning looked very unhappy.
Lin Zhu was surprised: "You didn't really bring it?"
Under her eager gaze, Xiang Wanning opened the suitcase.
In an instant, all the snacks that were stuffed to the brim rolled out, and among the various kinds of snacks there were a few hundred-dollar bills.
Lin Zhu: ...
Audience in front of the screen: …
[With her in front, I don’t think I will be too surprised by what I see in the following scenes]
[Xiang Wanning, how many surprises do you have that I don't know about? ]
[Is this the stupid beauty described in the book? ]
——
Due to sudden circumstances during the recording, the production crew had to split into two groups: one group to pick up the next few guests, and the other group to go to the police station with Xiang Wanning to record their statements.
Most of the audience chose to enter Xiang Wanning's live broadcast room. Only a few true fans saw the stars they liked appear in the official live broadcast room, and posted a few comments, occasionally leaving to take a look at the next room.
Xiang Wanning, who had inexplicably become the focus of everyone's attention, was now sitting in the RV with a dead look on her face, with Sister Lan's scolding voice in her ears.
"What are you thinking about, bringing so many snacks? Will the production team not give you food? Did you know anything about this variety show before you came here?"
"I understand." Xiang Wanning was obviously a little aggrieved, and her words were full of complaints against the production team: "Last season, their travel budget was only 100, and they only had one meal a day! I thought I should just bring some dry food with me. How could a living person be starved to death by the production team?"
Suddenly a light laugh was heard, and Xiang Wanning looked up, meeting Yu Quezhou's gaze.
She gave him a shy smile, but secretly complained in her heart: [Ah! My snacks! You bastard Yu Quezhou! I asked you to design this variety show! I don’t even want to come!]
[Let me check the plot... I found it! Hmm? Does Yu Quezhou also like Xiang Zhinian? It seems like he fell in love with her during this variety show? ]
Yu Quezhou was stunned and the smile on his face froze.
[He will make various movies to promote her later. When he confesses his love to her, he is rejected. He becomes angry and wants to ban her, but is solved by Chen Yanli. He disappears from the entertainment circle from then on.]
[Okay, it turns out that Yu Quezhou and I are colleagues, and we are both villains. Maybe we will have rival scenes in the future.]
When Xiang Wanning thought of this, there was a hint of pity for him in her eyes.
[His brilliance ends here. As an ordinary male supporting role, falling in love with Xiang Zhinian is the beginning of all tragedies! ]
Yu Quezhou closed his eyes.
He remained leaning back in his seat without saying a word until everyone else had finished recording their statements at the police station.
There were frequent text messages from Xiang Chisong on the phone.
Xiang Chisong:?
Xiang Chisong: What do you mean, you blocked me on WeChat?
* The destination of their trip this time is Country Y, which has beautiful scenery, snow-capped mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, and a slow pace of life. It was rated by netizens as "one of the top ten places you must visit in your lifetime."
"The Journey of Love" is broadcast live and edited. Now that the live broadcast has been turned off, everyone no longer cares about their image. After all, they were suddenly attacked by the program crew in the middle of the night. Even though they have assembled now, everyone looks extremely tired. They walk unsteadily along the way and can hardly open their eyes.
So the program crew shot some material, asked a few people to quickly introduce themselves, got on the arranged plane, lay down on the reclining chairs and fell asleep.
When Xiang Wanning woke up, the plane was about to land.
A soft female voice came from beside me: "Are you awake? Would you like some water?"
Xiang Wanning had just woken up, her brain still not working, she nodded in a daze. It was not until the warm honey water was brought to her lips, and she glanced to the side after drinking it, that she saw Xiang Zhinian staring at her with a smile in his eyes, and then she realized that something was wrong.
[Wait, wasn't I sitting alone? Why is Xiang Zhinian next to me? ]
Xiang Zhinian heard her inner voice and explained with a smile: "Our seats were together, and you were too sleepy at the time, so you fell asleep on the plane and didn't notice that I was next to you."
Xiang Wanning thought she was weird.
[Why is Xiang Zhinian so gentle to me? I am not used to it. Shouldn't he just ignore me? ]
[Shouldn't you dislike me?! ]
【She actually poured me some water! 】
"You are destined to be a servant. I will pour water if you ask me to." Although she didn't understand, Xiang Wanning habitually made things difficult for him. Thinking of what happened at the award ceremony, she could easily come up with her villain quotes: "It's useless to please me. I was sent to the hospital and you didn't even show up to see me. If it weren't for you, how could I have fainted? Ha, do your fans know that they like this kind of person?"
Her clear voice echoed in the cabin, and the guests who boarded the plane slowly woke up. Mu Yuli in the front seat couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but turn around and said, "You're being a little unreasonable, aren't you? You fainted at the award ceremony, what does it have to do with Sister Zhinian? Sister Zhinian is not your family, why should she keep looking after you?"
Xiang Wan Ning secretly gave him an admiring look. As if encouraged by the fact that someone was cooperating with her, she continued, "She must be feeling guilty. Who knows how she won the Best Actress award?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Mu Yuli, but other guests also looked at her with different expressions as if to say, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
She wouldn't think that without Xiang Zhinian, the Best Actress award should be hers, right? Qiao Nuowan looked down on such people and couldn't help but sneered: "Sister Zhinian has won every work based on her strength, unlike you, what kind of work have you shot in the five years since you entered the industry?"
[I like her! My eyes were filled with tears. She actually took the initiative to cue the process for me! ]
Xiang Wan's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Qiao Nuowan as if she was looking at a close friend, her eyes full of emotion.
Qiao Nuowan almost thought that he had scolded her stupidly, and then seeing her staring at him, she continued to nag at him, "What about 'An Xiang'? Are you saying that the judges were blind to let me be shortlisted?"
"It's only because of 'An Xiang' that you've been bragging about it for so long." Qiao Nuowan couldn't help but sneered, "Just go to bed. With your acting skills, you won't be able to have another work worth watching."
Then she saw Xiang Wanning sigh softly, with a look of satisfaction on her face. After snorting coldly in a pretentious manner, she turned her head and no longer looked at her.
After a while, Qiao Nuowan heard Xiang Zhinian next door coaxing someone softly:
"You're actually pretty good. Really. Your performance is quite remarkable."
"Yeah, next time the best actress award will definitely be yours! I believe in you."
"Yes, it's all my fault, otherwise the Best Actress award would have been yours. It's my fault."
Qiao Nuowan: ...
She looked at Xiang Zhinian in disbelief, but saw him smile apologetically at her, made a gesture as if to say "she is angry with me", and then continued to lower his head to coax her.
No, why didn’t you tell me earlier? Is she also a part of your play?
Yu Quezhou, who was sitting in the front row, listened to the whole farce until the plane stopped. He thought the drama was over, but he heard her panicked voice:
[Wait, why are we the only guests? ]
[Where is Chen Yanli? Didn't he come to relax with Xiang Zhinian and turn down work to record the variety show with her? Where are the others? How can he cultivate feelings with Xiang Zhinian if he doesn't come? ]
[How can I sow discord between them if he doesn't come? ]
Great, great, Yu Quezhou thought: It turns out the best is yet to come.
