Love Variety Show (Part 44)
Lan Lan's calm tone made Jiang Hengda panic: "Lan Lan, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is," Lan Lan looked at him and said each word firmly and forcefully, "I want a divorce."
Jiang Hengda thought he was hallucinating.
He rubbed his ears, his face full of disbelief: "What did you say? Divorce? You really want to divorce me?!"
"yes."
Jiang Hengda still couldn't believe it: "Lan Lan, if you divorce me, you won't get a penny!"
"I didn't marry you for your money." Lan Lan raised her eyes and looked at him calmly. "You pretended so well that I mistakenly thought I had found the love of my life. I gave up my career, didn't want a penny from the Jiang family, and humbled myself in front of your parents, all because I wanted to live a life of love and affection with you. But only now do I realize how wrong I was."
"A person who truly loves me wouldn't let me suffer in front of his parents for so many years, nor would he treat me like a slave. Jiang Hengda, I've had enough of this kind of life, and I've had enough of being a slave. I want to be an upright person again!"
After being humble for so many years, Lan Lan almost forgot that when she was a movie queen, she could speak with her head held high.
She had been strong and beautiful before, but after meeting Jiang Hengda, reality and human nature broke her back.
It wasn't Lan Lan's fault that she met the wrong person, but just like Ruan Qi said that day, a normal marriage should start with respect and self-love. Those who don't know how to respect each other don't deserve to talk about love.
Jiang Hengda didn't respect her and he didn't deserve her love. And she didn't know how to love herself, so she was scarred and miserable in this marriage.
Perhaps because she'd seen too many couples with normal values these days, Lan Lan was increasingly questioning her marriage to Jiang Hengda. She looked at Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu, Si Lin, Ji Beibei, and Ge Mei and Shi Su, and kept asking herself: Is this the marriage she wanted? Does Jiang Hengda truly love her? Has she ever been treated with respect in this relationship?
No.
When Lan Lan was thrown off the sand dune by Jiang Hengda yesterday, she finally saw the reality clearly.
Jiang Hengda didn't love her. In this marriage, she was the only one who persisted like a clown.
Everyone in the Jiang family treated her like an actress on the stage, watching and making fun of her.
After nearly ten years of marriage, Lan Lan finally saw the light at that moment and understood the truth. At the same time, her heart completely died at that moment.
"I married you because I loved you. But now I don't love you anymore, Jiang Hengda. You have nothing to hold me back anymore. So, I want a divorce."
Lan Lan's tone was sonorous and powerful, gentle yet firm.
Everyone present, including Jiang Hengda, was shocked.
No one expected Lan Lan to be so decisive.
It is said that it is better to demolish a temple than to break up a marriage. Shi Su, who had the best temper, reacted and subconsciously wanted to persuade Lan Lan not to be so impulsive.
But just as he was about to speak, Ge Mei raised her hand and covered his mouth.
"Don't be a pushover. Shut up."
Hearing what his wife said, Shi Su immediately shut his mouth and dared not say another word.
Aside from the Shis, the other guests were all very happy to see Lan Lan file for divorce. They were lucky enough not to be cheering her on, let alone trying to persuade her.
So, after Lan Lan proposed divorce, none of the guests present spoke up to mediate.
As a result, Jiang Hengda, who was fighting alone, was trapped and had no way out.
Jiang Hengda stared and stood face to face with Lan Lan for a long time.
After a long while, he finally spoke angrily: "Lan Lan, do you know what you are saying? I'll give you a chance. Just apologize to me and pretend I didn't hear what you said just now!"
Lan Lan looked at him calmly and said nothing.
Jiang Hengda's anger suddenly surged.
At the same time, a panic grew from the bottom of my heart, as if something was completely out of control.
In this state of panic and anger, Jiang Hengda sneered angrily and started talking without thinking.
"Okay! Okay! You want a divorce, right? You've grown cocky, right? Fine! You're just a washed-up actor. It's your blessing that I married you. Since you don't appreciate your good fortune, then divorce me! Divorce now! Don't even think about getting a penny from the Jiang family!!!"
Jiang Hengda was filled with impotent rage. After swearing some harsh words, he turned around and rushed out of the bedroom.
The program director quickly chased after him: "Where are you going? The program hasn't finished recording yet!"
"I'm not recording anymore!" Jiang Hengda's roar came from the stairs. "What a rubbish show! I'm not recording anymore!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang and the entrance door on the first floor of the villa was kicked open.
Then there was another 'bang' and the door was slammed shut again.
Jiang Hengda ran away.
The director who chased out searched around the villa and ran back panting after five or six minutes.
"Where's the person?" Si Lin asked the director, "Didn't you find him?"
The director took a deep breath, his face darkening: "I don't know where he ran off to."
Ji Beibei: "What should we do now? Is he really not going to record it?"
The director said nothing and turned to look at Lan Lan.
Lan Lan was still sitting in her wheelchair, her face calm. Seeing the director looking over, she politely said, "Director, Jiang Hengda and I are getting a divorce. I can't interfere with his affairs. You can call his parents. Jiang Hengda listens to his father. As long as his father lets him record, he'll most likely come back."
When the director heard this, he immediately took out his cell phone.
But halfway through dialing the number, he suddenly hung up.
Jiang Hengda is a hot topic, and his participation in the show does attract a lot of viewers. But this is a dating show, and everyone is here for the sweet romance, so they definitely don't want to see the couples on the show always quarreling.
Moreover, Jiang Hengda is not just quarreling now, he is also committing domestic violence, which is illegal.
A legal expert who walks on the edge of the law may bring topics and popularity, but does it really conform to the values of their dating show?
Is it really appropriate to keep such a troublemaker in the show just to increase its popularity?
The director hesitated for a long time, and when he raised his eyes, he inadvertently saw Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi was sitting on a chair next to Lan Lan, holding a lollipop that Xi Jiu had just peeled for her.
She seemed a little sleepy, yawning from time to time, and a layer of mist covered her beautiful peach blossom eyes. If Jiang Hengda hadn't suddenly made trouble, Ruan Qi might have fallen asleep long ago. Why was she sitting there so stiffly?
Thinking of what Ruan Qi had experienced a while ago, the director suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.
When Ruan Qi was invited, it was clearly agreed that she should come to relax and have a rest, but she ended up running into someone like Jiang Hengda, which not only affected her mood, but also her rest.
And as a director, he even wanted to call Jiang Hengda back for the sake of the show's popularity.
This is simply a case of being blinded by greed, right?
Isn't the show already popular enough with Teacher Ruan around? Why bring back something like that and cause trouble for everyone?
Dating variety shows are about sweet love, and all those troublemakers who affect unity should get away!
The director finally figured it out.
He made up his mind and put the phone back into his pocket.
"Forget it, I won't call anymore. If he wants to leave, he can leave. We don't want domestic violence men on our show."
No one expected the director to be so tough, and they couldn't help but look over.
Ji Beibei couldn't help but ask him, "Director, Jiang Hengda stopped recording midway. He has to pay the penalty, right?"
The director hummed and said, "Even if he doesn't stop recording, he assaulted Lan Lan on the show. This behavior has violated the law, and he must pay liquidated damages. Our program contract clearly stipulates that guests are not allowed to do anything that violates laws and regulations on the show."
Therefore, even if Jiang Hengda did not stop recording, he still had to pay the penalty.
But here comes the problem——
Lan Lan and Jiang Hengda are still husband and wife. What should Lan Lan do if Jiang Hengda breaches the contract?
"Lan Lan, Jiang Hengda has stopped recording. What are your plans?" the director asked her.
Lan Lan took the hot water bottle Ruan Qi handed her and covered her bruised face with it. She said calmly, "Jiang Hengda breached the contract. What does that have to do with me, Lan Lan? He can leave if he wants. I still have to continue recording."
Then she remembered that she was about to get divorced and that single people couldn't appear on dating shows, so she added, "At least finish recording this episode. Director, it's Jiang Hengda who breached the contract. Don't count me in when you ask for liquidated damages. He and I have no relationship at all now."
Once a woman gives up, her IQ will instantly explode.
Lan Lan was afraid that Jiang Hengda's breach of contract would implicate her, and she wanted to hang a sign on her body that would read "I have nothing to do with Jiang Hengda."
[It can be seen that Lan Lan has really tried hard to distance herself from Jiang Hengda.]
[Ahhhh, actress Lan is finally getting divorced! Her love-brain has finally come to her senses! As her longtime fan, I burst into tears right there!]
[You should have woken up a long time ago, okay? Men like Jiang Hengda make me sick every time I see them. He absolutely deserves to be dumped!]
[The anger I've been holding back is finally out. Lan Lan did a great job! Trash like Jiang Hengda should be kicked out! I support the career of actress Lan. I love all the movies you act in!]
It was already past ten in the evening. According to the program team's regulations, the live broadcast channel should have been closed by now.
However, the incident involving Jiang Hengda and Lan Lan was so popular that countless viewers demanded that the live broadcast not be turned off, so the production team did not turn off the video channel.
So until now, the live broadcast is still on. And the popularity of this program has exploded again due to the unexpected incident tonight.
Currently, Weibo and major forums are full of topics related to the Jiang Hengda and Lan Lan incident. Among them, the most discussed topics, in addition to Jiang Hengda's domestic violence and Lan Lan's divorce, are Ruan Qi's kicking the door and popularizing marriage law.
Tonight, the shows are one after another, and everyone is enjoying the show while learning something new.
At this time, with Jiang Hengda's departure, the villa finally became quiet.
The director glanced at the messy bedroom and said to everyone, "This house is uninhabitable. There's an empty room next door. Lan Lan, pack up and move in there."
Lan Lan didn't have any requirements for the living environment and nodded good-naturedly.
Ruan Qi, who was sitting beside her, looked at her bruised face and said with pity, "Sister Lan Lan was frightened tonight. You must be scared to live alone, right? How about I sleep with you?"
Xi Jiu: Other couples are getting divorced, but I can’t even hug my wife to sleep?
