After a pause, Jiang Li finished speaking.
"This water was prepared by my assistant herself."
The things her assistant, Lu Jiming, gave her weren't prepared by the production team.
Lu Jiming's car trunk was packed with a whole bunch of good stuff.
He bought everything himself, whether it was food or drinks.
The quality and taste are beyond question.
"Ha! Who would believe that?" Chen Xu chuckled, clearly not believing Jiang Li's words. "The production team provides free items; would you really spend extra money to buy things yourself?"
Jiang Li looked calmly at Chen Xu, "Just because you can't does it doesn't mean others can't."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiming chimed in, "I always like to prepare the best for my Jiang Li. If I hadn't come along, that would have been fine, but since I did, of course I can't let my Jiang Li lower her standard of living. But we're not here to trouble the production team, so we figured if we prepared it, no one would say we were being difficult, right? Well, look what happened..."
Lu Jiming's expression seemed to indicate that he had never expected such a thing to happen. "There are actually people saying that Jiang Li is being treated differently? Is there no justice in this world?!"
"I don't believe it. This must be a pre-arranged story between you and the production team." Chen Xu couldn't believe that anyone would be so stupid as to not only avoid taking advantage of the production team but also spend their own money.
That's absolutely impossible!
"Ha! Only people with a gloomy heart see conspiracy everywhere." Lu Jiming sneered again, then asked mockingly, "Do you want me to drive the car over so you can see how many good things are inside? Do you want me to show you the shopping list?"
Seeing that Chen Xu really seemed interested in watching, Jiang Li pulled Lu Jiming aside speechlessly, "Don't bother arguing with people who have dark hearts. Even if you show them the shopping list, they'll say that the production team paid us first and then we had to buy it ourselves. What's the point of arguing with someone like that?"
“You’re right.” Lu Jiming nodded and walked to the side. “Then I’ll leave you guys for now. I’m going to eat snacks and watch TV.”
After saying that, Lu Jiming picked up the bag of snacks he had casually and put it aside.
Seemingly to provoke Chen Xu, he even took out all the snacks inside.
Not just snacks, but also water...
The water Lu Jiming was drinking was the same type of water as the water Jiang Li was holding.
Chen Xu's expression twisted slightly.
Even if he was unwilling, he had to admit that this was not what the production team had prepared for them.
after all……
The production team can give Jiang Li special treatment and good benefits, but they would never allow their assistant to enjoy the same treatment.
Otherwise, how could the other guests possibly allow such a thing to happen?
It's estimated that a commotion has already started.
So he could only suppress his displeasure, unscrew the cap of the water bottle in his hand, and take a big gulp as if venting his anger.
Others: "???"
Tsk...
Didn't you just say you wouldn't drink this kind of water?
Don't you remember what you said as soon as you turn around?
I wonder how Chen Xu felt about being slapped in the face so quickly!
Hahaha, this is hilarious...
[Isn't this outrageous? Saying one thing and doing another, what? Didn't you say you'd only drink the kind of water Jiang Li was holding?]
It's so hot now, people are thirsty, and there's no water to drink. Are they going to die of thirst?
If you didn't want to die of thirst, why were you being so dramatic before?
[Anyway, no matter how you try to clear it up now, it's probably impossible to get away with it. With this attitude... tsk tsk... I feel sorry for Jiang Li...]
[What's Jiang Li up to now? Why is she everywhere? If she hadn't tried to get special treatment first, would Master Chen be acting like this?!]
The production team didn't forbid people from spending their own money. Doesn't the person who said that think they're being ridiculous?
[...]
Perhaps this incident resonated with many people, which is why many people started criticizing those who spoke up for Chen Xu.
There are no boundaries to some things, and everyone has freedom of speech.
If you're unwilling to part with something, but someone else is, does that offend you? Does it warrant your constant criticism?
Some people have even resorted to moral blackmail, which naturally makes many people feel disgusted and unable to accept it.
A new round of online arguments has propelled this topic to the top of the trending searches.
Some people are just too good at arguing.
The hype was truly phenomenal, with one free opportunity after another.
This kind of buzz, appearing every now and then, successfully promoted the show.
Some people aren't interested and don't even glance at them.
Some people, however, were provoked into a rebellious mentality.
Is its reputation really that bad? Is it really that bad that things have escalated to this point?
Alright then...
He really needs to go and broaden his horizons to see if it's really as outrageous as the trending topics say.
After going inside...
Although it was a bit confusing to watch...
But later I had to say...
Um……
It smells so good!
After everyone had rested enough, they went back inside.
After all, the exploration of courtyard houses is not yet complete.
Several little devils immediately swarmed around Chen Xu, squatting and sitting on various parts of his body, crowding him so densely that Jiang Li could hardly bear to look.
Zhao Shuhua looked around but didn't see anything else. She couldn't help but lean closer to Jiang Li, pointed to her eyes, and whispered, "I can't see those things anymore. Is this time-limited or intermittent?"
She was truly afraid that when she was alone, she might inadvertently see those things, and...
She'll be terrified.
Jiang Li patted Zhao Shuhua on the shoulder, looking calm, "Don't worry, it's only temporary. Once you can't see it anymore, you really won't be able to see it again after a while."
"That's good, that's good." Zhao Shuhua breathed a sigh of relief and then continued to explore the house.
Jiang Li's gaze then fell on Chen Xu.
He truly lived up to his name; at this moment, he looked incredibly frail.
They were walking unsteadily, unable to move at all.
Tsk tsk.
Jiang Li couldn't help but shake her head.
"Why are you shaking your head?" Chen Xu turned his head and saw Jiang Li's expression that almost made him vomit blood. "What do you mean by that disdainful look? Are you looking down on me?"
Jiang Li was speechless for a moment. "Master Chen, I just shook my head at the situation in this room. How is that disdain? How does that have to do with looking down on you?"
Thinking about it, her eyes changed slightly, "Or is it that, Master Chen, you didn't actually see... all those little ghosts surrounding you?"
Jiang Li's words were startling, causing Chen Xu to involuntarily take a few steps back.
Jiang Li shrugged and said coolly, "Don't hide anymore, all those little devils are on you. No matter how far you jump, you won't get away from them..."
"You...you...what nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Xu didn't believe it, but his voice stammered, "I...I...I'm telling you...don't try to fool me, I...I won't be fooled by you!"
"Fine, if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." Jiang Li shrugged, then asked innocently, "But... don't you really feel how incredibly heavy your whole body is?"
Chen Xu: "!!!"
How did this little brat know that?
She's making it up, isn't she?
Yes! She must have just guessed!
