On the Internet, the news about Ning Chuchu's date with a mysterious young man spread like wildfire, and Zhalang's servers were paralyzed for a time, requiring programmers to perform emergency repairs. This shows how much attention Ning Chuchu is getting now, and how explosive this scandal is.

This scandal has a great impact on Ning Chuchu, because it involves whether she is hiding her relationship and going on a dating variety show, so many people are paying attention to this matter.

Especially now that Ning Chuchu is in the limelight, she has attracted the envy of many people. Many of her peers are trying to take advantage of the situation and stir up public opinion, hoping to bring Ning Chuchu down.

Fortunately, this matter was fabricated and it was easy to clarify, so Ning Chuchu responded quickly.

Ning Chuchu directly posted a Weibo, succinctly pointing out that the man who sent her back to the crew was not her boyfriend, but her stepbrother.

The two will also participate as guests in the well-known variety show "My Brothers and Sisters". Everyone is welcome to pay attention.

Ning Chuchu first clearly explained the relationship between her and Sui Feng, and cleanly dispelled the rumors of an affair between the two. Then she announced that the two would appear on "My Brothers and Sisters" together, successfully shifting the public's attention to Ning Chuchu and the new variety show instead of the so-called scandal.

Soon, the official Weibo account of "My Brothers and Sisters" also released the news, acknowledging the two guests who will participate in the show as step-siblings.

This is the first guest pair officially announced by the "My Brothers and Sisters" program team. In fact, they should have kept the guests secret for the time being and announced them at a later date. However, Ning Chuchu specifically contacted the program team and wanted them to cooperate in clarifying the matter.

Naturally, the program production team would not reject Ning Chuchu, who was very popular at the time, and readily agreed and helped to post a Weibo to officially announce the guests.

At this point, everyone's attention was completely shifted to this matter.

【Ahhh! My favorite woman and my favorite variety show! 】

[Oh my god! What a dream collaboration! I’m so looking forward to it! ]

[Actually, I had wondered before whether Sister Ning would appear on "My Brothers and Sisters", but it was obvious that Sister Ning hated her step-sister Yun Yirou so much that I thought there was no hope. I didn't expect that she had a step-brother, hahaha! ]

[It turns out that this stepbrother is the son of Chu Chu's mother's boyfriend. That's great! As long as he's not Yun Yirou! ]

[My stepbrother is such a handsome guy! Looking forward to their interaction! ]

[So... no one cares about the scandal between Ning Jie and her stepson? Stepsiblings are not related by blood, actually...]

[I want to say it too...but I don't dare. 】

[ChuChu has already said that the two are just step-siblings, so please don’t speculate on their relationship! Our ChuChu is still single~]

[Great! Sister Ning is single! I have another chance! ]

[I want to use a gun to force the production crew to start filming immediately. I really want to watch Sister Ning’s new variety show! ]

In the end, Ning Chuchu's scandal was successfully transformed from a crisis event that could have severely damaged her reputation into free publicity for Ning Chuchu's participation in "My Brothers and Sisters", which warmed up Ning Chuchu in advance and let more people know that she was about to participate in the new variety show.

Those who secretly wanted to see Ning Chuchu's smile gnashed their teeth.

How could Ning Chuchu be so weird?! Every time she encountered a crisis, she could not only resolve it smoothly, but also step on the stones thrown at her and step onto the next step.

What good luck!

…

Seeing that the problem was resolved, Ning Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Sister Zhang patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, it's no big deal. You just have to be more careful in the future. You are so popular now, and there are too many people watching you. You must not let anyone take advantage of you."

Ning Chuchu nodded seriously, "I understand."

"However..." Ning Chuchu frowned thoughtfully and murmured, "This scandal made me realize one thing deeply."

"What's the matter?" Sister Zhang asked curiously.

Ning Chuchu said with a solemn expression: "The fact that Xie Jinqiu and I have been engaged... must not be exposed!"

Hearing this, Sister Zhang immediately said seriously, "Indeed. Engagement is much more formal than dating, almost the same as marriage. You are on the rise now, and it would definitely be disadvantageous if you were exposed to be engaged."

Ning Chuchu rubbed her brows in a headache: "The most important thing is... I'm engaged and still participating in a love variety show. I can't explain it."

"Netizens don't know that Xie Jinqiu and I are just in a business marriage and have no feelings for each other, let alone that Xie Jinqiu personally agreed to this matter..." Ning Chuchu sighed, "If everyone knows about this, then I will I’m going to have a headache.”

Sister Zhang's heart immediately rose, and she asked anxiously, "Do many people know about your relationship with Mr. Xie? Is there any risk of exposure?"

Ning Chuchu is also working hard to detect all dangers, "Not many people know about my relationship with Xie Jinqiu, and I have warned them one by one that they will never tell. The only unstable factor..."

Ning Chuchu and Sister Zhang looked at each other and said at the same time: "Yun Shu and Yun Yirou?"

Ning Chuchu analyzed: "This mother and daughter have never been happy with me. They are the most likely people who deliberately broke the news."

"However, before participating in the variety show, I deliberately coaxed Ning Guangzhong and asked him to warn the mother and daughter not to expose this matter. So far, it seems that they are quite obedient."

Ning Chuchu pondered for a moment, and her brows gradually relaxed. "Besides, I have the evidence of Yun Shu's crime in my hands now. If they dare to act recklessly, I will send her to the police station directly."

Sister Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief. "Since you have the leverage over them, you don't need to worry too much. They won't do anything stupid that would hurt the enemy by 800 and themselves by 1,000."

Then she warned him carefully: "But in this case, you can't push them too hard. You have to find the right balance, otherwise they will become desperate and do something bad."

"I know." Ning Chuchu nodded with a smile on her face. "I didn't intend to punish the mother and daughter now. Anyway, I just emptied all their private savings not long ago, so I can vent my anger temporarily. Let them breathe for a while."

She also needs to assist the system and find a way to capture the jade bracelet, so now is not a good time to completely resolve the issue with the mother and daughter.

Of course, she wouldn't let them jump around for too long.

When their residual value is completely squeezed out, it will be time for Ning Chuchu to "settle debts" with them.

Ning Chuchu narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous and shrewd smile.

That day, when Ning Chuchu went to film again, people she knew asked her a few questions about participating in "My Brothers and Sisters", some congratulated her, and some gave her some inside information about the program crew. Ning Chuchu thanked them all with a smile.

There was only one person who was quite tactless and preferred to get close to Ning Chuchu.

"Ning Chuchu!" Gu Yunfei rushed to her with great momentum, raised his chin and looked at her with disdain on his face, "When did you get the news? You are well-informed."

"What news?" Ning Chuchu asked seriously, "About when you can grow long hair?"

Ning Chuchu carefully looked at his shiny head and sighed in a sad tone, "I feel stuck."

Gu Yunfei: "...I'm talking to you about serious matters!"

Can you please stop mentioning his hair? Doesn't he have any dignity?

Ning Chuchu looked down disdainfully, too lazy to look at him again, "What business do you have?"

"Humph, of course it's about my cousin and I participating in 'My Brothers and Sisters' together!" Gu Yunfei said in a bad tone, "We just decided not long ago, how did you know about this? Moreover, you even participated in this program just to stick with my cousin."

Gu Yunfei glanced down at her with a smug look on his face, "I never knew you cared so much about my brother."

In that case, shouldn't this woman just try to please her cousin? Humph, she's always nagging him, be careful he might say bad things about her to his cousin in the future!

However, when Ning Chuchu heard this, she raised her eyes in surprise and asked subconsciously: "You and Xie Jinqiu are also going to participate in this variety show?" What a coincidence!

Gu Yunfei: “……?”

"Haha, keep pretending." After being confused for a short time, Gu Yunfei quickly figured out Ning Chuchu's purpose.

This woman is the most cunning. She must be hiding her concern for her cousin!

Ning Chuchu narrowed her eyes and made a slightly unhappy "tsk" sound.

Xie Jinqiu is actually going to participate in this variety show? This is a bit troublesome.

She had just made up her mind to keep her relationship with Xie Jinqiu secret from the outside world, but God's fate brought them to participate in the same variety show soon... It was too easy for the secret to be revealed.

The worst part is, she also has a truth system. Maybe at some point she would go bald in front of the camera and reveal her relationship with Xie Jinqiu.

But "My Brothers and Sisters" is the most popular variety show among the people, so she is reluctant to give it up...

Ning Chuchu raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Yunfei. After thinking for a moment, she said seriously, "Why don't you just stop going on this variety show?"

Gu Yunfei: “……?”

Gu Yunfei was confused. Wasn't it because of him and his cousin that this woman had planned to participate in this variety show? Now she wants them not to participate? What kind of operation is this?

Ning Chuchu sighed slightly, "You are not smart and your EQ is low. It would be bad if you drag down your cousin's reputation on the show. You'd better stay at home obediently."

However, when Ning Chuchu openly mocked Gu Yunfei for being stupid, he did not get angry like before. Instead, he looked at Ning Chuchu with surprise.

Gu Yunfei raised his chin and said proudly: "See! I knew you care about my cousin the most!"

He was both disdainful and excited, his face full of joy of discovering a secret, and he snorted, "You were stubborn and refused to admit it just now, but I finally found out!"

Ning Chuchu: “…”

She understood that this was just a complete fool who didn't understand what people said. If she argued with him, she would lose.

Ning Chuchu decisively turned around and left her stupid and silly cheap cousin behind.

That night, after Ning Chuchu thought for a moment, she called Xie Jinqiu.

The busy person who was usually difficult to contact now feels very happy to answer her call.

"Hello?"

No matter how many times she listened to it, Ning Chuchu still felt that Xie Jinqiu's voice was magnetic and deep, with a jade-like cold texture that made her ears itch.

Ning Chuchu calmed herself down. She was too lazy to ask about her fiancé's health and work as before, nor was she too lazy to pretend to express her love. She was full of confidence and asked directly, "I heard that you are also going to be on the variety show "My Brothers and Sisters"?"

Xie Jinqiu was silent for a while, then said calmly: "Yes."

Ning Chuchu smiled and joked, "It seems that you love Gu Yunfei very much."

Xie Jinqiu: "...Hmm."

Ning Chuchu did not beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "Jinqiu, there is something I want to tell you in advance."

"As you know, my career is currently on the rise, and I'm still participating in a dating show. So... the fact that we are engaged must not be revealed, otherwise I will be in big trouble."

Ning Chuchu sighed faintly, her eyes were clear and her face was calm, but her tone contained a hint of vulnerability and confusion, "Jinqiu, can you understand me? When we record the show together, we can pretend Don’t you know each other?”

Xie Jinqiu's silence lasted longer, so quiet that one could almost hear his breathing. After a long time, his calm and steady voice sounded, "Okay."

Ning Chuchu immediately smiled and said "thank you" sweetly.

Then, she remembered another thing and said with a slightly embarrassed tone: "By the way, Gu Yunfei..."

Xie Jinqiu heard that Xian knew the elegant meaning and said very wisely: "I will warn him and ask him not to talk too much."

Xie Jinqiu was so cooperative that Ning Chuchu didn't mind blowing a rainbow fart, "Jinqiu, thank you for everything you have done for me."

Thinking of Gu Yunfei jumping around in front of her before, Ning Chuchu sighed softly and softly: "Oh, Jinqiu, little Gu seems to have misunderstood me, and he often makes trouble for me on the set."

"Of course, I am his elder, I..."

Ning Chuchu wanted to say, I won't bother with him. But fortunately, after so much time, she has been familiar with the rules of the truth system, so she swallowed the polite words in time to avoid being revised into a more embarrassing truth.

Ning Chuchu thought for a moment, coughed lightly and said, "I am considered his elder, so I should also take the responsibility of disciplining him. Look at this..."

Ning Chuchu didn't finish her words, but was waiting for Xie Jinqiu to express his position.

As it turned out, this taciturn fiancé seemed to have finally come to his senses. He immediately said, "Don't worry, I will teach him a lesson."

After a pause, he spoke again, his tone much more serious, "You don't need to tolerate him. If he disrespects you again, you can discipline him."

Xie Jinqiu's magnetic voice contained a sense of certainty and composure, which made people feel at ease. He said, "I will stand by your side."

Ning Chuchu was stunned for a moment, but her expression softened a lot because of his words. "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Ning Chuchu relaxed and threw herself on the bed. After rolling around lazily, she exclaimed to the system, "Tong, I have really changed a lot now."

The system immediately popped up a message: "Has it become more cunning and insidious?"

Ning Chuchu: "...get lost."

She was too lazy to compare with the system, so she looked up at the snow-white ceiling, lost in thought, and murmured, "I suddenly remembered something that happened before you tied me up."

"Before, I wanted to participate in the love drama "Love", but I had been engaged to Xie Jinqiu for two years. At that time, I regarded Xie Jinqiu as the biggest helper in revenge for Ning Guangzhong and Yun Shu, so even though he was very cold to me , I am also carefully maintaining this relationship.”

"I was covetous of Lianzong's traffic, but I was also afraid that Xie Jinqiu would have a grudge against me because of it, so I made a special appointment with him to make up a story with him in person... well, explain it to him in person."

Ning Chuchu snorted unhappily, "You don't know how difficult it is for Xie Jinqiu to make an appointment! I'm his fiancée, but what happened? He actually made me line up to make an appointment like a client."

"I finally got to meet him, and I used all my acting skills, saying that the agency forced me, and that I was bound by the contract... In short, I used all my lying skills to come up with a perfect excuse for participating in the romance variety show."

The system was very flattering and asked: "Then what is Xie Jinqiu's reaction? He must have agreed."

"I did agree..." Ning Chuchu touched her chin, frowned and said "tsk", "but the way he looked at me... I always felt like he saw through me."

The system ruthlessly told the truth: "Because he didn't like you at all at the beginning, so he didn't care whether you were on a dating show or not."

Ning Chuchu: “…” It hurts.

Ning Chuchu glared at the system unhappily and continued, "That's not the point!"

"I think... when I faced Xie Jinqiu, although I was not groveling, I was still cautious, coaxing and lying, but he kept a cold face every day."

"But now, I am obviously a lot more arrogant with Xie Jinqiu. I speak out when I have something to say and ask for resources when I have them. On the contrary, he is obedient and extremely obedient."

"Oh, this is really..."

Before Ning Chuchu finished her words, the system couldn't wait to take credit for it, saying, "Hehe, you finally realize the credit of this system, right? If it weren't for me, not only would you not be able to live as freely and happily as you do now, but your relationship with your fiancé wouldn't have made any significant progress."

The system's tail wagged happily: "So, do you realize how great this system is?"

Ning Chuchu smiled and said, "No, I just want to say..."

"Men are such bastards."

System: “…”

Ning Chuchu spread her hands, "When I was polite and caring to him, Xie Jinqiu was polite to me; now that I speak bluntly to him and reveal my true nature repeatedly, he looks considerate and attentive."

"If this isn't mean, then what is it?"

System: “…”

The system said with difficulty: "Host, I need to remind you that if the gender division in this world is strictly followed... my gender is also male."

But I'm not that kind of jerk!

Ning Chuchu was shocked: "You still have a gender?!"

System: "...Are you polite?"

Before the official recording of "My Brothers and Sisters", another big event happened to Ning Chuchu.

Ning Chuchu's role in "Swordsman" has finally come to an end.

Zou Long particularly admired Ning Chuchu and held a grand farewell party for her that night, giving her the full treatment of a male or female protagonist.

The dinner not only included the director and a group of leading actors of "Swordsman", but also several investors, which gave Ning Chuchu enough face. After all, Ning Chuchu is now the most popular female star, and countless brands want to cooperate with her and have to go through connections.

"Xiao Ning, let's work together again if there's a chance in the future!" Zou Long's face turned red from drinking, and he looked very happy.

"Of course." Ning Chuchu smiled and raised her glass to Zou Long, "Thank you Director Zou for your appreciation and cultivation."

This precious filming experience has benefited her a lot and has also taken her acting skills to a new level.

After saying that, Ning Chuchu gently sipped the warm water in the cup.

Normally, she likes to drink a lot and will have a drink in her spare time. But her love of drinking does not mean that she likes the toast culture of pushing cups and exchanging cups at the wine table. She hates being forced to drink.

Moreover, she just had her period today and felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so she simply didn't drink any alcohol and just drank a glass of warm water.

Fortunately, she is no longer the same as before. Others can only flatter her and no one dares to force her to toast.

Of course, not everyone has brains and good sense.

"Ms. Ning." A middle-aged investor with a very wealthy appearance came forward with a smile and said cordially, "I have heard of your name for a long time."

Ning Chuchu smiled at him politely, distantly and perfunctorily, and it was obvious that she had no intention of greeting him.

The middle-aged wealthy businessman came forward relentlessly and said shamelessly: "Miss Ning, I'll toast you a glass, please do me a favor?"

His small eyes were full of attentiveness, but Ning Chuchu could clearly see the greed hidden behind them.

Ning Chuchu sat motionless in her seat. Even when someone disturbed her in front of her, her expression did not change at all. She continued to smile calmly and indifferently.

Ning Chuchu's clear peach blossom eyes slanted slightly and she looked at him coldly, with many thoughts flashing through her mind at once.

She is beautiful, and even in the entertainment industry she is considered one of the top beauties. However, she has encountered countless harassments since her debut.

Even though Ning Chuchu is smart and clever, and has extraordinary means, she is still troubled.

In the past, she would have been patient and cautious in dealing with this group of extremely malicious investors, and would even use her own scumbag father as a cover when necessary. With her strict defense, she naturally never suffered any loss.

It's just that the intrigue always makes her tired and irritated.

Seeing that she encountered the same sticky person again, Ning Chuchu was too lazy to get rid of him in a tactful way as before.

Ning Chuchu leaned back in her chair, her expression indifferent and her confident look as she said directly, "No."

The middle-aged wealthy businessman was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little embarrassed.

If Ning Chuchu really didn't want to drink, and she lowered her attitude and explained to him in a gentle voice, he would be able to let it go. After all, he was not such an unkind person. He was very happy to show his consideration in front of this popular star.

But Ning Chuchu rejected him directly, which was too disrespectful to him.

The wealthy businessman named Zhang said with a fake smile: "Miss Ning, now that you are famous, you look down on others."

Ning Chuchu nodded seriously: "Indeed. After all, I am very popular now."

Rich businessman named Zhang: “…” He was clearly mocking her, so why did she just go along with it?

Mr. Zhang sighed in a pretentious manner, and put on the attitude of an experienced person, and preached: "Xiaoning, you are young and frivolous now, I can understand, but the most important thing for a person is to be humble. Xiaoning, you still have a lot to learn about the art of being a human being."

Ning Chuchu nodded seriously, and suddenly imitated his gesture, sighed quietly, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, I'm not saying that you are getting old and lack the drive, so your career is going downhill. You should seize the opportunity and forge ahead like me, so that you can always reach the top."

"How about this, Mr. Zhang? From now on, we will learn from each other. I will learn from you how to be a good person, and you will learn from me how to run a business. How about that?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to lead you to success!"

Ning Chuchu used the skill of "using magic to defeat magic" to perfection, and imitated the opponent's fatherly preaching attitude completely, scaring the opponent.

In particular, Ning Chuchu actually asked Mr. Zhang to learn how to run a business from her, and ruthlessly exposed the fact that the other party's company was on the decline, which completely broke Mr. Zhang's defense.

Asking him to learn how to run a business from a woman is simply an insult to him!

But he is not as glorious as this woman now, which makes Mr. Zhang very angry and embarrassed.

"You..." Mr. Zhang glared at her with a dark face and an unfriendly look.

Zou Long was still adding fuel to the fire, "Old Zhang, Xiao Ning is right, you really should work harder."

Zou Long was a smart man, how could he not see Mr. Zhang's evil intentions? He was still very partial to Ning Chuchu, so he helped to embarrass Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang was beaten so badly by their combination of punches that he was humiliated. However, he was even more unwilling to give in. He sneered, "Then why don't you teach me how to do business, Miss Ning? This will also help me gain some experience."

Mr. Zhang said in a gloomy tone. He was in a fight with Ning Chuchu, and all he wanted to do was teach this ignorant little star a lesson and humiliate her.

Didn't she want to teach him how to do business? If she had the ability, just tell her! He didn't believe a woman could have any real ability.

When Ning Chuchu is so embarrassed that she can't get off the stage, let's see if she still dares to speak out!

Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows playfully, with a smile on her lips, and said, "I'm not very good at business, but...if you insist on investing in the Nanshan Villa project, you'll soon be sleeping on the street."

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhang and several other investors at the table changed their expressions slightly, and looked at Ning Chuchu with suspicion.

In a corner of the wine table that few people noticed, female number four Hua Meixuan's eyes lit up, and her hands hidden under the table frantically tugged at the hem of the man's clothes next to her.

This man is Hua Meixuan's boyfriend and one of the small investors in the film. The two have been in love for many years and their relationship is very stable. He also invested in the "Nanshan Villa" mentioned by Ning Chuchu, which Hua Meixuan recently heard her boyfriend talk about.

Her boyfriend looked at Hua Meixuan in confusion, not understanding what his girlfriend was hinting at.

Hua Meixuan glared at him in frustration: This piece of wood! Master Ning rarely speaks, but you don't just write it down and do it?! Are you waiting to sleep on the street with Mr. Zhang?!

Others had different thoughts, but Ning Chuchu was a little surprised. Oh, the system gave her another surprise.

But then, she frowned slightly and thought unhappily: If she had known that such important news would be revealed, she would not have told it in front of this arrogant and greasy President Zhang. If he really listened to her advice and avoided this pit, wouldn't she be vomiting to death?

Ning Chuchu was not so kind as to help a man like this who had evil thoughts, was arrogant and conceited.

But she has already told the truth, so...how to make amends?

Ning Chuchu rolled her eyes cunningly like a little fox, and soon she smiled slightly and had an idea in her mind.
