Xia Chuyue did not notice what Jiang Yan said.
As she looked at the bank notification that the more than one million yuan in advertising fees had been deposited into her account, a faint smile appeared in her cold eyes.
Good, good, I'm one step closer to my life of lying down and watching the drama unfold!
Looking down at the gift Jiang Yan handed her, Xia Chuyue's smile vanished instantly, her face hardened with wariness, and she subconsciously took a step back.
What is this thing, a bomb box?!
Jiang Yan noticed the meaning in Xia Chuyue's eyes and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
"These are local specialties I brought especially for you, Chuyue. Don't you like them?"
Jiang Yan benefited from her appearance; she was petite and delicate, pure and lovely, with round and bright eyes, and her voice carried a charming quality.
In reality, her personality is completely at odds with her appearance.
Jiang Yan herself is a total princess!
Moreover, they need everyone to fawn over them and pamper them. They will throw a tantrum if things don't go their way and can't stand others not valuing them.
The gifts were prepared by her agent, who said they would help her gain points in front of the audience. That's why Jiang Yan reluctantly brought a bunch of gifts to the show.
Xia Chuyue looked down at the box Jiang Yan handed her, and she really didn't want to accept it.
Who knows if Jiang Yan has set a trap here with the gift?
"Thank you, what kind of local specialty is this?"
Xia Chuyue was certain that Jiang Yan had no idea what was inside!
Jiang Yan's face stiffened, and she opened her mouth, only to be asked the question.
However, she reacted quickly, immediately pouting and saying unhappily:
"Go back and open it yourself, you'll see. Why keep asking?"
Jiang Yan's fans, who were watching the live stream, were also indignant and joined in criticizing Xia Chuyue on her behalf.
[Is Xia Chuyue crazy? Asking so many questions when I'm giving you a gift? Our little angel Jiang Yan is just being redundant!]
[Being friends with someone like Jiang Yan must be so comfortable, unlike Xia Chuyue, who's arrogant, has a bad temper, and would definitely be difficult to please!]
[Our little angel Jiang Yan is so popular on the show! Everyone else was quiet, but Xia Chuyue was the only one who spoke up and was annoying!]
The next second, Zhou Ran hurriedly leaned over and squeezed between the two.
Zhou Ran is a sunny and energetic girl with slightly curly short hair and a lively voice.
"I'd also like to know, what if Jiang Yan, you packed the wrong gift? It's good to know in advance so we're not in a bad situation!"
When Jiang Yan saw Zhou Ran appear, her smile froze even more, and she almost pinched her palms red with her fingertips.
As her expression darkened further, two other male celebrities who had traveled with Xia Chuyue by high-speed rail also chimed in with a few words.
"Yes, Jiang Yan, you should have told me in advance. It's not a big deal."
The three of them walked over with smiles on their faces, firmly protecting Xia Chuyue.
Jiang Yan wasn't a very good-tempered person to begin with. She could put on a brave face when dealing with Xia Chuyue alone, but now that so many people were watching, she lost her temper and immediately yelled.
"I said I don't know, and that's it. It's not like I prepared the gift, so why are you all making such a fuss!"
Jiang Yan was furious and slammed the gift onto the table with a bang.
After smashing the gifts to vent her anger, Jiang Yan realized what she had done, and her expression immediately became flustered.
Jiang Yan's agent, who was standing behind the camera, slapped his forehead and closed his eyes in despair.
The atmosphere became tense and silent.
The comments section was flooded with messages, and netizens flocked to watch the drama unfold.
[Hahaha, that was brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!]
[I noticed Jiang Yan was acting strange before; she was always secretly rolling her eyes. Sure enough, she couldn't keep up the act anymore and gave herself away!]
[So the gift wasn't prepared by you? Then why were you saying all that picking out a gift yourself was so much trouble? Jiang Yan, how can you be so pretentious!]
[Such a spoiled brat attitude! Even preparing a gift lacks sincerity; unbelievable!]
Jiang Yan's fans were extremely frustrated, but dared not show their faces for fear of being chased and ridiculed.
The netizens who were watching the drama were excellent at stirring up trouble, and every comment they posted hit Jiang Yan's fans' sore spots.
Previously, Jiang Yan's fans always praised her for her sweet appearance and good interpersonal relationships. But now?
Other celebrities are helping Xia Chuyue, but not her!
He even threw gifts on the spot, which shows how bad his temper is!
Jiang Yan's mind went blank, and she felt a tightness in her chest from anger. Looking at Zhou Ran, who was holding Xia Chuyue's arm, she blurted out the words without thinking.
"Zhou Ran, why are you being so eager to help Xia Chuyue? What did she give you in return?!"
Zhou Ran has a good personality. In the previous episodes, everyone couldn't stand Jiang Yan's princess-like behavior, but Zhou Ran was the only one who treated Jiang Yan quite well.
Upon hearing Jiang Yan's words, Zhou Ran's expression turned cold.
"This is my own business. Xia Chuyue has a generous and easygoing personality, and I find her more comfortable to be around than someone else!"
Zhou Ran was no pushover either. After being stabbed by Jiang Yan so many times, she couldn't be bothered to pretend with her in front of the camera.
Previously, she only didn't want things to get ugly because Jiang Yan was a girl like herself.
Jiang Yan was furious.
"Whatever, let's see what you end up with!"
Jiang Yan's voice turned cold. She turned her face away, ignoring the camera and her manager's silent pleas, and pushed the camera away to go back to her room.
As soon as she left, the previously stagnant and cold atmosphere suddenly broke.
I don't know who started laughing first, but eventually everyone laughed with their eyes crinkling.
"Everyone must be hungry, why don't we eat first?"
Zhou Ran was an expert at warming up the atmosphere. She pulled Xia Chuyue along and walked with everyone to the dining table in the restaurant with a smile.
Jiang Li, who had been watching the show almost without making a sound, followed behind the crowd and silently glanced at Xia Chuyue.
