Chapter 862 May Be Displaced Anger
Just then, Lian Lifan suddenly looked over at them, or more precisely, at Ye Wanxi and her companion.
After reading it, his face darkened even more. He snorted coldly, shook off his girlfriend's hand, and walked to the shady spot under a tree.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yun'er and the others immediately turned their gazes toward Ye Wanxi.
"What did you do to offend him this time?"
Ye Wanxi was also full of questions. She turned her head and exchanged a glance with Feng Tianyu. Just as she was about to shake her head, she suddenly heard a soft cough from behind her.
Ye Wanxi had a sudden inspiration and turned to look at her assistant, who was also a gossip expert in the industry.
You know?
Qiu Yuerong raised her chin dramatically and said mysteriously, "I guess he's unhappy because his popularity has been suppressed again."
The word "again" is quite clever. Ye Wanxi's lips twitched slightly. She really couldn't think of what she had done recently that had inadvertently overshadowed Lian Lifan's popularity.
"Why am I trending on social media again?"
"No, Sister Ye, you only went on one recently, and it was quickly suppressed."
When Qiu Yuerong mentioned the flooding in Shuizhen and the lightning strike in the neighboring city, Ye Wanxi, as a casual topic, was discussed and became a trending topic.
However, those entries were removed not long afterward.
Ye Wanxi was even more confused after hearing this: "If you didn't go on top, how could you pressure him?"
Qiu Yuerong glanced at her and said quietly, "A few days ago was Lian Lifan's third anniversary since his debut. His company arranged a fan meeting for him. On the day of the meeting, his name was bought and placed in the front row. Just when it was about to be posted, Mr. Jiang got into a car accident."
"..."
Ye Wanxi immediately understood: Jiang Yulai's car accident had not only made it into entertainment news, but also into social news.
Because their car inexplicably took an S-shaped route, speeding, cutting in front, and running a red light, it collided with a truck that was also violating traffic rules, causing the truck to brake suddenly and overturn.
Fortunately, no one was killed, but it became a typical case of people working overtime to prepare for the bar exam this year.
And because of Jiang Yulai, a public figure, the level of discussion immediately increased.
Jiang Yulai's fans were worried about his injuries, and passersby who couldn't stand it, along with some keyboard warriors who are always criticizing others, unusually united to condemn him for driving like that and not caring about the lives of other pedestrians and drivers on the road.
The incident caused quite a stir at the time. Compared to the truck driver who also violated the rules, Jiang Yulai received most of the abuse and criticism, and also gained a lot of attention and popularity.
This incident conveniently overshadowed the fan meeting that Lian Lifan and his company had been preparing for a long time.
When Ye Wanxi learned the whole story, her eyelids twitched, and she secretly sighed, thinking that she might really be this person's nemesis.
Although Jiang Yulai was the one who suppressed his trending topic, if we really look into it, if it weren't for Ye Wanxi's reminder that day that led to Jiang Yulai's identity being exposed and the mother and son rushing to escape, this car accident might not have happened.
Lian Lifan's blaming her wasn't entirely unjust, but she was a little confused.
"What does this have to do with me?" Could it be that Lian Lifan is so well-informed that she knows he had a conflict with Jiang Yulai's "family" that day, and that the source of this car accident is her?
Qiu Yuerong glanced at her own artist, her expression complicated: "No."
"...Then why was he yelling at me like that?"
Qiu Yuerong coughed twice and said with great sympathy, "It's probably just... taking it out on someone else."
It's not that Jiang Yulai and the others have quit the show and stopped coming. Lian Lifan couldn't find the person who caused him to lose popularity, and when he thought of Ye Wanxi, who had suppressed his popularity several times before, he transferred his resentment to Ye Wanxi, didn't he?
Ye Wanxi was speechless after hearing this. Well, he had inadvertently succeeded, so she had to take the blame.
Once they figured out what was wrong with Lian Lifan, none of the others took it seriously.
After all, the other party has a bad temper, which they all saw during the first two episodes of filming, so it's understandable that they would do something like this now.
With Jiang Yulai and the other person confirmed to be leaving the show, Ye Wanxi and the other person arrived, and everyone was present.
So, five minutes later, all the cameras on set were turned on, and the director appeared in front of everyone, dragging his signature yellow megaphone.
"Everyone's here. As you've probably noticed, we're missing one of our guests today. That's right, it's Ms. Ding and Mr. Jiang's group. Unfortunately, I have to tell you that Ms. Ding and Mr. Jiang have to withdraw from our program due to health reasons."
Although Ye Wanxi and the others already knew the outcome, they still showed some surprise at the right time.
At this moment, the live stream also ushered in the first wave of discussion of the day.
The main voices were divided into two camps. One camp was glad that the production team had fired Jiang Yulai and his partner. They were not a popular CP with much buzz to begin with, and Jiang Yulai was now a tainted celebrity who had been called out by many legal experts. If they were to let him continue on the show, they would really hesitate to watch it.
Another group consists of Ding Li's fans. Ding Li's management company is keeping it a secret, and these people are still unaware that Ding Li needs to retire from the entertainment industry for a period of time due to illness.
Upon hearing that the two were leaving the show, my first thought was that Jiang Yulai's offense had implicated their idol, leading to his being asked to leave the show.
In an instant, the live stream chat was filled with comments like "I feel so sorry for our Sister Li being implicated by a lawbreaker," which were both sob stories and attempts to elevate one person while simultaneously putting down another.
Unexpectedly, this attempt to play the victim backfired. Some viewers couldn't stand it and questioned Ding Li, asking how she could be unaware of her boyfriend's character since she was Jiang Yulai's girlfriend.
They still remember the outrageous things Ding Li did in the first two episodes. Fans are willing to defend her, but the eyes of casual viewers are discerning.
Jiang Yulai is no good, and Ding Li is no better.
Several groups of people quickly started arguing, and the live stream became chaotic.
However, Ye Wanxi and the others who were still recording the show did not know that after the director announced the news, seeing that although everyone looked surprised, no one took the initiative to ask questions, his mouth twitched and he continued to speak.
"Due to their withdrawal, only four groups of guests participated in this recording."
Upon hearing the director's words, all the guests present couldn't help but give him a surprised look, as if to ask, "You didn't even bring in any newcomers?"
The director slightly raised his chin, a hint of smugness in his eyes.
After Jiang Yulai and the other person withdrew, their production team naturally had people to replace them.
Since Ye Wanxi and her partner gained popularity in the first two episodes, many celebrity couples have offered to be their guests, even if they can't be regular guests.
The director rejected them all; he hadn't forgotten how many disapproving looks he'd received and how much pressure he'd faced when he first started filming the show.
