The director was too ruthless, making the guests go into groups to do tasks right after sending their "love" text messages, without even giving them a buffer time.
The six people took the phones given to them by the director and returned to their bedrooms. The director only gave them ten minutes to send text messages, catching them completely off guard.
The observers also turned on the live stream early in the morning to see the results.
Watching them return to their rooms one by one, Li Le asked, "Should we discuss this again? Should we change it?"
Shen Li insisted: "No changes, it's like this."
"I thought it wouldn't start until tonight, but I didn't expect such an exciting thing to happen so early in the morning. The director really knows how to play games."
In less than ten minutes, people had already come out of the room. The first person to come out was Zhuang Yan, followed by Lu Yan, then Fang Chen, Ling Xuan, and Jiang Ning, and the last one was An Xinrong, who dawdled for ten minutes before coming out of the room.
Some were happy, some were depressed, and An Xinrong looked the worst.
Judging from their expressions, it's impossible to determine who gave it to whom.
Li Le: "Whose should we look at first?"
Xu Nuo suggested, "Let's save the best for later and watch Fang Chen's performance first."
Fang Chen and Ling Xuan were the easiest to guess. As expected, just like last time, one gave it to An Xinrong and the other to Jiang Ning.
Fang Chen: I'm sorry, I didn't plan yesterday's date well. Next time, I'll definitely make sure you're satisfied.
Ling Xuan: I like the flowers you sent.
An Xinrong sent Fang Chen the same message as before: I'm still quite happy.
Jiang Ning's feelings never changed. Once she had made up her mind about Zhuang Yan, no matter how he rejected her or how cold he was to her, she would not give up. The message she sent to Zhuang Yan was: "I see no one else but you all around me."
Lu Yan was easy to guess, and her performance was as consistent as ever: Hehe, you really like flowers?
The hardest part is yet to come. Shen Li nervously stares at Zhuang Yan's phone screen. The message is very simple, containing only two words: "Thank you." The recipient is Lu Yan.
Shen Li jumped up happily: "I knew he had her in his heart! Last night, it was probably just the two of them having a little tiff." After saying that, she didn't forget to look at Xia Wan smugly.
“This is another slap in the face to some people.” Shen Li said, playing with the heart-shaped diamond in her hand. “If Xia Wan listens to you this time, we will get nothing again. At this rate, I think you should change your address to Uncle as soon as possible. It’s better to get used to it in advance. Otherwise, you won’t know how to address him when you see him.”
"Our family matters are none of your business." Xia Wan would never acknowledge Zhuang Yan and Lu Yan. She knew that Shen Li was deliberately adding fuel to the fire to embarrass her.
Xia Wan had never suffered so much "humiliation" since she was a child. She was superior to others from birth. People around her called her "Miss Xia". She was the only daughter of the Xia family, the apple of their eye, and the princess who was pampered by her elders.
All her friends flattered her, and whatever she said was law. No one dared to contradict her, and no one would be as presumptuous as Shen Li.
In addition, after meeting Zhuang Yan, who was completely obedient to her, Xia Wan never argued because no one dared to argue with her. As a result, she rarely had anything to say when arguing, which is why she was always left speechless by Shen Li.
Not being able to argue doesn't mean they won't fight back. With the Xia family's status, dealing with a girl group member would be a piece of cake.
What artists fear most is being blacklisted, having no gigs, no money to earn, and having their years of hard work go to waste.
Xia Wan looked at Shen Li with icy disgust: "Speak, who can say anything about you? Let's see how long you can keep talking."
Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, Shen Li knew exactly what Xia Wan was thinking. She wasn't afraid at all, and even responded with a provocation. She wasn't afraid of offending her. Her agency was a rival to Xia's Group, and Xia Wan couldn't control her.
If she really dares to confront her head-on and ban her, then she might as well retire early, make a big fuss, and post it online so that netizens can seek justice for her.
During her free break, Xia Wan got up and left the observation room. She called Gu Qian to come into the rest room with her, and then called Xia Qingshan in front of him.
"Dad, Lu Yan openly seduced Zhuang Yan on a variety show. She clearly knows that Zhuang Yan is my ex-fiancé. I just broke off the engagement and she did this. I think she clearly doesn't respect me. By doing this, the Lu family and the Xia family will lose all face." Xia Wan said aggrievedly. "Can you talk to Uncle and ask him to discipline Lu Yan and have her taken back and locked up? It's really embarrassing for her to do this in front of millions of viewers. She's deliberately disgusting us."
With Lu Yan's situation causing such a huge uproar, it's impossible that Xia Qingshan didn't see it. Do you think he didn't call the Lu family? The Lu family wanted to intervene, but they couldn't. Lu Yan had already broken free from the Lu family's control many years ago.
"I'll find a way to resolve Lu Yan's matter, so don't worry about it. As for you, you'd better behave yourself these next few days. I've told you so many times, you're going to manage the family business and inherit the company's assets. Don't waste your time and energy on unimportant things. You should quit that variety show as soon as possible, and you and Gu Qian... have you broken up yet!"
Xia Qingshan has been very busy lately, so busy that he has no time to care about Xia Wan's private life.
The previous incident was to teach Zhuang Yan a lesson. After that, some of his smaller companies encountered various problems and were frequently reported. He didn't lose much money, but it was troublesome and he had to deal with it personally. So he was extremely busy lately, and when he answered the phone, he sounded weak and listless.
With the phone on speakerphone, Gu Qian could hear everything Xia Qingshan said on the phone.
Upon hearing this, he could only clench his hands and try his best to endure it.
Xia Qingshan had always looked down on him, after all, he didn't have a good background, and his education and experience were not high enough, so he had no value to be used.
For profit-driven businessmen like Xia Qingshan, people who have no value to them are irreplaceable waste.
No matter how much Xia Wan likes Xia Qingshan, it won't matter as long as Xia Qingshan doesn't give in.
If Xia Qingshan hadn't driven him away back then, he might have already married Xia Wan.
“Dad, I want to discuss something with you. Doesn’t the Zhuang family want to maintain a cooperative relationship with us? Then let them register Gu Qian under their name as their son. Anyway, Zhuang Yan has already been kicked out of the house, and Tang Jing is too old to have children. When they die, they won’t even have an heir.”
Gu Qian's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing this. Xia Wan had never mentioned this to him before, and now, besides surprise, he was also delighted.
The Zhuang family is no slouch; they have status and money. Otherwise, Xia Qingshan wouldn't have chosen to marry into the Zhuang family.
If he could officially join the Zhuang family, he wouldn't have to be a nobody in the entertainment industry anymore. He would inherit the family fortune, have a stable position, and would no longer be looked down upon. He could also marry Xia Wan smoothly. Perhaps in the future, he could control all the wealth of the Zhuang and Xia families and become the number one person in Rongcheng.
Gu Qian became more and more excited as he thought about it. He was no worse than Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan was just better at being born into the Zhuang family. He was lucky to be the only son of the Zhuang family.
Since Zhuang Yan has been kicked out of his home by his parents, it's not a big deal for him to take over. He should only blame himself for not appreciating what he has.
