Although that's what she said, there was clearly a smile in the old lady's eyes.
She suddenly remembered her youth, when she and her husband used to argue and bicker like this. Decades have passed since then, and now they have a son, a grandson, and next will be a great-grandson.
She seemed to recall something; she had married him through an arranged marriage, but the old man didn't know that she had actually been in love with him for many years.
At that time, rumors circulated that he was very close to a female celebrity, often spending lavishly on her, and even asking friends in the entertainment industry for favors in order to give her good resources. He never liked owing favors.
Later, they frequently appeared in newspapers, and were even photographed entering and leaving hotels. At that time, I felt so heartbroken that I was ready to let him go.
Just as she finished packing all her things and was about to leave, he suddenly rushed back for some reason. When he saw her packed luggage, he seemed to go crazy and tried to stop her from leaving.
"If you don't love me, why did you keep me here?" She looked at the man in front of her with a bitter smile. Sweat soaked his hair, making him look somewhat disheveled.
The man stepped forward and grabbed her hand, his eyes filled with worry and panic: "What did I do wrong that you want to leave me, huh? I can change anything." Old Master Lu's words were so sincere that her heart softened immediately.
"Is it because of today's headlines? That's all nonsense. I was just giving her a ride on my way. The driver can vouch for me. I didn't even go upstairs; I just got to the lobby entrance." Old Master Lu explained anxiously, his eyes filled with tension.
Finally, she softened and didn't leave. Now, thinking back, a smile appeared on Old Madam Lu's lips. That guy must have developed feelings for her back then, otherwise why would he be so nervous about her leaving?
The next day, because of the scheduled recording of a variety show, Jian Ruoxi had to get up earlier than usual. She thought she wouldn't see those criminals, but to her surprise, Lu Shen was sitting in the restaurant, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.
Jian Ruoxi thought of what he and Li Anran had said to her last night, and she was immediately furious. She rolled her eyes, didn't even eat breakfast, and turned to leave the restaurant. Only after the door was closed did Lu Shen realize that Jian Ruoxi had already left.
"Tell me, is Jian Ruoxi blind? I'm sitting right here, a grown man, and she can't even say hello?"
Lu Shen stood up abruptly in anger, throwing the newspaper to the ground. The maid beside him was so frightened that she dared not breathe and could only nervously lower her head, afraid that the young master would vent all his anger on her.
The show we're recording today is called "Mercedes-Benz Life," which Ran Jie helped me get. Since it's a variety show, the atmosphere is very important.
So at the beginning, the production team prepared a game that would get everyone excited.
Besides her, there were several other celebrities participating in this variety show. Although they weren't very familiar with each other, they were all in the same industry and knew each other to some extent. The atmosphere during their chat and interaction was quite good.
"Today, the production team has prepared a little game for everyone." The production team director shouted loudly from behind the camera with a megaphone, drawing the attention of the few people who were chatting.
Shortly after, several staff members carried out a huge machine. The machine had a large fluorescent screen on top, and below the screen was a large drum. The drumhead was faded, so it seemed to be a second-hand machine.
What's most puzzling is that there's a huge hammer next to the machine. This hammer is much, much bigger than the hammers used for drumming. Even a guy would probably need two hands to lift it.
"What kind of machine is this? It looks really strange."
A male guest curiously walked up and circled the machine, where he saw a large title on the back: "One Hammer Decides the Fate".
"That's right, it's a game of one strike to decide the outcome. The guests here need to use the hammer next to the machine to strike the drum surface. Whoever strikes the hardest will win today's competition."
The director's cheeky voice came from not far away, and after he finished speaking, the expressions and demeanor of the guests present changed.
Several female guests gave a wry smile: "How can we girls compare to the strength of these men? The production team is too biased."
"Haha, you girls can be eliminated right now." A male guest who seemed to be a third-rate actor said with a grin. His words made everyone uncomfortable, and even the girls' faces turned ugly.
Jian Ruoxi glanced at him, only remembering that he seemed to have played a role in some web series, but she couldn't recall the specifics. However, his condescending tone was really annoying.
Jian Ruoxi, already angry about what happened last night, was now as furious as a pufferfish, but she didn't show it on her face, just watching the others' performance.
Several male guests were eager to try, after all, this was no longer a simple competition, but more like a contest between several men. In this circle of male creatures, this kind of competition of strength has always existed.
After several rounds, the male guest who had just made sarcastic remarks actually ranked first, with a strength score of 7759.
This is a very high number!
He looked at Jian Ruoxi when she was the last one left, and a confident expression appeared on his face: "It seems that I can only concede this round and win a small victory."
The others glanced at him with displeasure but remained silent. The other girls also looked at Jian Ruoxi with expectant eyes. Although they knew the chances of winning were not high, they still prayed silently in their hearts and shouted, "Go Jian Ruoxi!"
Jian Ruoxi gave them a friendly smile, then picked up the sledgehammer. Already filled with rage, she looked at the drumhead and seemed to see Li Anran and Lu Shen smiling at her, their faces full of mockery.
"Aha!"
Jian Ruoxi used all her strength, and with her anger overflowing, she made the final decision. The numbers scrolled rapidly before finally stopping.
"Wow, that's high! It's 8967!"
Everyone present was stunned by this number. Looking at Jian Ruoxi's slender arms and legs, they couldn't help but swallow hard. This woman is too strong!
