Chapter 5 You're Shen Linzhou? You're not even that good-looking.
“She’s Jiang Yueyao! How could you not remember her?” Zhou Ruoyu interjected, looking incredulous.
"Do you consider her a Renminbi?" Qin Shu retorted.
Even RMB isn't necessarily recognized by everyone.
Zhou Ruoyu choked, not expecting this person to be such a troublemaker, and not at all gentlemanly. Just as she was about to retort, she suddenly heard the other person speak, "You are Jiang Yueyao?"
"It's me." Jiang Yueyao smiled politely, letting out a slight sigh of relief as she raised her chin slightly.
She said, "Of course I remember."
However, the other person's next words left her speechless.
Where is your boyfriend, Shen Linzhou?
Jiang Yueyao's smile froze; she hadn't expected the other person to know that she was because of Shen Linzhou.
That's true. Shen Linzhou debuted earlier than her and was more famous. Since he knew her, it was still acceptable.
Just then, Shen Linzhou, who had heard the commotion at the door, came out.
"Looking for me?"
"You are Shen Linzhou?" Qin Shu's gaze fell on Shen Linzhou.
"I am."
Whether it was his imagination or not, after saying those two words, Shen Linzhou felt as if he had suddenly been targeted by a ferocious jackal in the forest. The extremely aggressive and threatening aura made his hair stand on end in an instant.
But soon, the feeling vanished without a trace, as if it were just his hallucination.
Before Shen Linzhou could react to what was happening, a lazy and disdainful voice drifted over.
"She's not even that good-looking."
Shen Linzhou: ...
Jiang Yueyao: ……
Zhou Ruoyu: ...
[Hahaha, that's hilarious! "Not even that good-looking"? What the hell?]
[A New Standard of Beauty – If I'm as plain as Chen Linzhou, then I might be disabled.]
Although this statement is outrageous, it sounds plausible coming from him...
In the live stream, the three veteran actors simultaneously lost control of their facial expressions.
Shen Linzhou, in particular, has been in the industry for many years. He is more confident in his looks than his acting skills. He even insured his face for millions of dollars, and his daily maintenance expenses at beauty salons are no less than Jiang Yueyao's.
How could I not be angry when someone directly provokes and belittles me?
But he couldn't find a way to refute it.
Because of the face in front of you, it's not only deserving of a beating, but also undeniably handsome to the point of infuriating both heaven and man.
Shen Linzhou didn't want to admit that he was inferior to his opponent, especially in front of the camera.
He felt a surge of anger rising within him, took a deep breath, and forced a smile. "What kind of man makes a living based on his looks?"
"Why can't a man make a living based on his looks?"
It's not a provocation, but simply a discussion.
In fact, after discovering that Shen Linzhou was not as good-looking as herself, Qin Shu's malice towards him lessened considerably.
Speaking of making a living based on one's looks, Ah Ying was attracted to him because of his face.
Therefore, Qin Shu has always boasted that he can get by on his looks.
Otherwise, he might not be able to find a wife at all.
"I think it's perfectly fine to make a living based on your looks." Thinking of this, Qin Shu emphasized it again.
Shen Linzhou scoffed upon hearing this, his words carrying a hidden meaning, "Then it seems we have different values. After all, I don't have the habit of living off a woman."
To say he's a kept man?
Qin Shu raised an eyebrow, looked Shen Linzhou up and down, and nodded, "That's true, after all, you're ugly and don't have the looks to back it up."
"you!"
Shen Linzhou almost spat out a mouthful of blood, but Jiang Yueyao managed to stop him in time, preventing the movie star from ruining his live broadcast.
"Linzhou, that's enough, stop talking."
Holding Shen Linzhou's hand, Jiang Yueyao squeezed his fingers. "There's no need to worry about these things. Everyone knows what kind of person you are. Let's not argue."
After saying this, Jiang Yueyao looked at Qin Shu and said, "Mr. Qin, no matter what grudges you have with Lin Zhou, since we are all here to participate in the program and will be spending a week together, it would be better to keep things peaceful, wouldn't you agree?"
At this point, even if Jiang Yueyao was unwilling to admit it, she had guessed Qin Shu's identity.
Who else would have both fox-like eyes and be so obsessed with Shen Linzhou's looks?
Although the untamed arrogance in those eyes now is quite different from the hazy, unintentional shimmer in Song Ying's Weibo photos, the shape of those eyes is unmistakably the same.
"Yueyao, what are you saying? This person is also here to participate in the show?" Zhou Ruoyu asked incredulously.
They're more like troublemakers, aren't they?
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Ms. Song Ying's boyfriend."
[Holy crap? Song Ying's boyfriend?! Help! Did Song Ying save the galaxy in her past life?!]
[A handsome man and a beautiful woman, their beauty is deadly; this couple is simply out of this world. Is the title of the most attractive couple in the Chinese entertainment industry about to change hands?]
What's the use of just being handsome? Didn't you hear that guy say he makes a living off his looks? A gigolo with no manners, a pretty face but a rotten core—only someone as shallow as Song Ying would keep him. How could he possibly compare to my handsome and talented movie star, Shen Ying?
Upon seeing these words, some viewers calmed down.
That's right, looking at it this way, Shen Yingdi does seem to have more refinement.
but……
He's so handsome, I'm sorry, my values have already been swayed by his looks.
[I just want to know how much Song Ying paid to keep him as a mistress. If I pay double, can I have it?]
The style of the comments gradually went astray, and some people even started searching for Qin Shu online.
But no matter how I searched, there were no photos or information, not even any combination of those two words.
It's ridiculously transparent.
As a result, the hashtag #WhoIsQinShu quickly climbed to the top of the trending searches. Many passersby saw the screenshots of the live stream and exclaimed that they were amazed by her talent, and more and more people crowded into the live stream room.
The director is very satisfied with the high popularity on a weekday.
Only Song Ying's agent, Sister Hong, held tightly to her assistant, Xiao Lu's, hand.
"Should I have let Song Ying bring her boyfriend on the show...?"
She thought she could capitalize on her good looks, but this boyfriend turned out to be even more of a liability than Song Ying.
Not only does he have no sense of propriety when it comes to his mouth, but he's also a gigolo.
However, in an old house somewhere, Grandpa Qin sat in front of the television, nodding with satisfaction.
"Ah Shu wasn't talking nonsense. My Qin family bloodline is naturally handsome."
-
When Song Ying finished packing and came downstairs, she was still unaware of what had happened.
But there was an indescribable strangeness in the atmosphere of the living room.
Shen Linzhou and Jiang Yueyao sat on the sofa with cold faces. Zhou Ruoyu and her boyfriend sat together, their gazes toward Song Ying also somewhat unfriendly. Da Meng seemed to be in the bathroom with an upset stomach.
"What happened?" Song Ying asked Qin Shu in a low voice.
"It's nothing, I'm just too handsome, they're just a little insecure."
"I see." Song Ying nodded. "Don't put too much pressure on them. They're just too fragile. Go upstairs and pack your things."
"Then I'll go up first?" Qin Shu blinked, his fierce expression vanishing as he flirted with Song Ying.
"Stop being so flirtatious." Song Ying slapped him on the forehead and glared at him. "Go and come back right away."
"Okay..." Qin Shu rubbed against Song Ying like a puppy before reluctantly going upstairs.
The two whispered to each other, inaudible to the others in the living room, but clearly audible to the audience.
I thought he was a wolf in sheep's clothing, but he turned out to be a flirtatious butterfly.
[He was both a wolf and a puppy, Ah Wei is dead!]
As soon as Qin Shu left, Tian Dou rushed to Song Ying's side, "Sister Ying, was that your boyfriend?! He's so handsome!"
If it were anyone else, they would definitely have said a few words of modesty, but Song Ying felt honored.
"Of course! I'm a total sucker for good looks... and his abs, hehehe..."
"Is this something I can listen to for free?!" Sweet Bean exclaimed, her eyes widening. "Tell me more!"
Jiang Yueyao couldn't sit still any longer, so she got up and went into the women's restroom.
The moment the door closed, that gentle and charming face instantly turned cold and sour.
She took out her phone, found Xu Lanyan's number, and dialed it.
"Hey, Lanyan? Are you busy right now... drawing? I really envy you, your life is full of art, unlike me, I'm almost exhausted from live streaming every day lately..."
"Yeah, don't worry, I'll get some rest~ By the way, I have a question for you. Do you remember Qin Shu at your house last year for your grandpa's birthday? Do you know who he is?"
On the other side, Xu Lanyan was coloring when she heard Jiang Yueyao asking about Qin Shu. Suddenly, her paintbrush stopped and lost its strength.
A painting that was 80% complete was ruined.
She reached out and ripped the drawing paper, crumpled it, and threw it into the trash can next to her. Xu Lanyan stood up from the drawing stool and walked to the window.
Why are you asking him?
"I saw him on the show today, but he seemed to have a lot of hostility towards me and Linzhou..."
“He treats everyone the same way.” Thinking of Qin Shu’s attitude towards her back then, Xu Lanyan casually snapped off a green ivy leaf, her voice turning cold.
Jiang Yueyao keenly sensed Xu Lanyan's emotions, "Between you and him..."
"Just a passerby," Xu Lanyan interrupted Jiang Yueyao. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Jiang Yueyao to reply.
In the bathroom, Jiang Yueyao, who was always arrogant, showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever at such a dismissive attitude.
The Xu family is considered a second-tier wealthy family in Beijing.
The first tier consists of the top-tier wealthy families, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people: the Qin, Wen, and Zhao families.
Even for a second-tier family like the Xu family, it's a level that a star like Jiang Yueyao can never reach.
In the eyes of those wealthy families, celebrities are just actors who can't be shown on stage. In recent years, after getting involved with Xu Lanyan, Jiang Yueyao's resources have skyrocketed, and she even won the title of Best Actress. She can only look up to Xu Lanyan and fawn over her.
When Qin Shu first appeared at the Xu family's banquet, she thought he was someone of extraordinary status.
Especially since his surname is Qin, what if he's related to the Qin family...
Now it seems she was overthinking things.
The Xu family and the Qin family are related by marriage, but Xu Lanyan said that Qin Shu was a stranger, which means that Qin Shu had no connection with that Qin family at all.
Now that he's being kept by Song Ying, a minor celebrity, perhaps his initial appearance in the Xu family was simply a way of currying favor with some powerful figure...
After fixing her bangs in front of the mirror, Jiang Yueyao reverted to her previous haughty demeanor when she reappeared.
Meanwhile, all four couples arrived.
The challenges for the new episode have also begun to be officially distributed.
