In the backyard of the villa hotel, around the campfire and dining table.
Bathed in the glowing red firelight, everyone looked radiant, their faces beaming with smiles.
"Hello everyone, I am Huang Yiyi, an actress."
"Please take good care of me for the next eighteen days!"
Huang Yiyi wore a white dress, her long hair was simply tied back, she looked fresh and elegant, and she spoke gently and properly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him smiled and applauded in welcome.
Everyone has a deep impression of this former national woman. Even without the old-fashioned self-introduction, everyone knows who she is.
Beside her, a short-haired, long-faced man with a somewhat lazy and casual look wore a smile.
He didn't get up, but simply waved to everyone.
"I am Yang Lin."
"Huang Yiyi is my wife."
His two simple sentences revealed his assertive attitude.
The chairman of a listed company is also the boss of his wife Huang Yiyi. The wedding of this tycoon and a star caused a great sensation and became widely known.
After the two of them finished introducing themselves, the remaining four people began to defer to each other.
After all, in any situation, the person with the most power speaks first.
Compared to Huang Yiyi, the main guest originally slated for the show, and her billionaire husband, the identities of Lin Chu and the other two teams of guests were somewhat less impressive.
Just then, Su Lin suddenly burst out laughing.
"Haha, oh dear, no need to be so modest."
“My husband is bad at talking, so I just let him do the introductions at the end. He’s always like this, and he’s never presentable when we go out. I’m used to it.”
"He only dares to lose his temper with me when he's at home. Once we're out, he doesn't dare say a word."
"You can introduce yourselves first."
Upon hearing Su Lin's disparaging remarks about Lin Chu, the other four guests at the table also had different expressions, nodding with awkward smiles.
Lin Chu, however, had long been used to it.
In Su Lin's world, it's not just about belittling herself, but also about belittling him.
And she would only be happy if Lin Chu was even worse than her.
In the previous life, because Su Lin had smeared him, Su Lin's fans also gained the upper hand in the discourse.
Therefore, the relationship experts and guests backstage at the show naturally echoed the fans' voices in condemning him.
To say that he is timid and cowardly as a man, lacking any initiative, and even unable to introduce himself properly, is too pathetic.
He's obviously a useless man who only knows how to bully his own family.
This even made him a trending topic, and "incompetent" became one of his labels on the show.
But in this life, he doesn't intend to live in Su Lin's shadow forever.
There's no need for Su Lin to become her spokesperson and repeatedly belittle her image.
There was also a system-issued task about healthy social interaction, and I wanted to be a better version of myself and refuse to be controlled by Su Lin!
In her previous life, it was precisely because of Su Lin's strong control that Lin Chu's social circle was very small, and she had no chance to meet any new friends.
Now is the perfect opportunity for him to become a brand new version of himself.
With that in mind, Lin Chu immediately smiled generously at the other four guests and spoke cheerfully.
"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Chu."
"I debuted a few years ago through a talent show and am now a singer."
"It's nice to meet you all."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other couple, who had been in an awkward atmosphere, found a topic to talk about and immediately chimed in.
"Ah, Lin Chu, I know you! I've listened to your songs back then!"
"Yes, when we were dating, we listened to your song 'Growing Old Together' together. It was so romantic!"
"It sounds amazing!"
"I've never met you in person, but you yourself are just like the style of that song—very gentle, and you have a beautiful voice!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lin Chu!"
Lin Chu felt a little touched as he looked at the female guest across from him who had enthusiastically stood up to shake his hand.
He has never received affirmation from his wife over the years.
He has never experienced what it feels like to ignore his wife's suppression and make friends normally.
For a moment, he felt very fortunate that he had followed the system's guidance and boldly taken a step towards becoming a better version of himself.
He immediately stood up with a smile and shook hands with the other person.
"Thank you! I've actually watched the short videos you two made, and I'm still a fan who follows you!"
“You are Ge Lan, and he is Li Shuang.”
"It's a pleasure to meet you all!"
"I finally met my idol today!"
Hearing Lin Chu's emotionally valuable and tactful compliment, Ge Lan couldn't stop smiling and was very happy.
Instead, she playfully widened her eyes and looked at Su Lin, who was left standing to the side with an unpleasant expression, and couldn't help but tease her.
"Teacher Lin is so eloquent; she doesn't seem like someone who's not presentable at all."
"Su Lin, you're not kidding us, are you?"
When Su Lin heard Ge Lan's blunt and uncompromising words, her smile immediately froze.
However, she naturally wouldn't easily lose her temper in front of the camera.
Instead, he laughed loudly to cover up his embarrassment.
"Hahaha, I wasn't joking!"
"Oh dear, you just don't understand Lin Chu. He only behaves well occasionally. When he sees so many friends, he can't even say a word."
"Hehehe..."
In front of the camera, everyone's micro-expressions were clearly broadcast live.
At this very moment, the live stream, which has millions of viewers, is buzzing with discussion.
"Oh my god, I don't think it's right to belittle your husband like that in front of outsiders, regardless of whether you're getting a divorce or not?"
"What do you mean by belittling? Is telling the truth considered belittling? Then men are too easily swayed!"
"It's obvious that Su Lin is handling all the big and small things at home. Lin Chu is too lazy to even do normal social interactions, and now she's pretending to be a good person. It's disgusting!"
"Lin Chu speaks very confidently and politely. I don't see anything about him that makes him seem like he's bad at socializing."
"Exactly! Isn't Lin Chu's reaction normal enough? It's much better than Yang Lin just sitting there and making that domineering, greasy statement like 'Huang Yiyi is my wife,' right?"
"Does Su Lin even respect her husband? How could she say such things in public?"
As the live chat became lively, the camera immediately switched to the guest room where several relationship experts were present.
An intelligent female expert with short hair and glasses is earnestly explaining Su Lin's behavior to the audience.
"Su Lin is clearly a person with a strong personality!"
"Moreover, she has been engaging in long-term PUA against her husband, Lin Chu, using various methods such as suppression and belittling to make everyone, including herself, feel that her husband is not good enough for her and is inferior to her."
"Over time, it can create the illusion that her husband is really worthless."
"That's not actually the case."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other relationship experts in the guest room echoed his sentiments.
"Su Lin is too eager to show off and lacks the most basic respect for her partner."
"Yes, actually, those sudden bursts of laughter that seem completely illogical are all attempts to cover up her guilt and embarrassment. She knows herself that what she's doing is wrong."
"It seems that our guests this season have really serious marital problems."
As the relationship expert analyzed the situation, the chat in the live stream erupted into a frenzy of insults and endless arguments.
However, the six guests who were recording the show naturally couldn't see these comments.
The scene of the bonfire dinner in the backyard.
With Su Lin's awkward laughter, the atmosphere among the guests became much more lively.
What started as a free-flowing conversation to get to know each other gradually became more relaxed, and people immediately began sharing interesting things from their lives.
Glen is a sports blogger herself and has many hobbies to share.
At this very moment, in front of everyone, he was happily sharing his story, speaking with great enthusiasm, and had become the center of attention and the focus of everyone's attention.
Su Lin looked at Ge Lan, who was receiving everyone's attention and adulation, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
She secretly resented her for just exposing her suppression of Lin Chu, which made her lose face and feel extremely embarrassed.
I must get my revenge!
