"Yu Xinyu?"
Upon hearing this name, Lou Baichuan immediately thought of Cen Yu's roommate... or more accurately, her boyfriend.
He still remembers the look in the other person's eyes when he saw him in the car; it was as if the other person had been poisoned.
Lou Baichuan knew a bit about the young master of the Yu family. In some ways, the Yu family was even more of a mess than the Lou family. Apart from Yu Jinheng and Yu Xinyu, who were brothers who didn't look very alike, there were many other messy things going on.
Yu Jinheng looks more like a member of the Yu family, with a purely Chinese appearance, while Yu Xinyu looks more like her maternal grandmother, with more obvious mixed-race features.
Yu Jinheng is clearly a ruthless person, not only crazy but also reckless... So now the Yu family only has the two brothers. Those women, illegitimate children, and relatives and friends with their own ulterior motives do not dare to offend Yu Jinheng, after all, Yu Jinheng is now in charge of the entire Yu family.
Lou Baichuan wondered absentmindedly what good things Yu Xinyu could say about Pei Zhe.
But perhaps because Cen Yu's eagerness to share was too obvious, Lou Baichuan still showed an expression of willingness to hear more.
Cen Yu immediately cleared his throat—
Pei Zhe likes to play exciting games.
Lou Baichuan didn't understand what Cen Yu was talking about, so Cen Yu simply added fuel to the fire and explained it in his own words.
Cen Yu really didn't remember Pei Zhe's character in the original work. After all, Pei Zhe's existence was just to tell everyone that Sang Qianshan had a rival in the entertainment industry, and to add to the fun of Sang Qianshan defeating this rival later on.
In addition, he felt that Yu Xinyu was not the type to speak ill of others; if she said that, she must have had her own channels to obtain information.
He looked at Lou Baichuan, who seemed to be deep in thought, and asked, "Have you heard of him?"
Lou Baichuan frowned as he looked at Cen Yu.
I really don't understand where this person got his unconditional trust in Yu Xinyu from—
It was as if even if Yu Xinyu were to throw someone into a vat of boiling oil right now, he could still believe that Yu Xinyu was just trying to warm the person up.
He had heard some of the rumors about Pei Zhe, but whether they were true or not was another matter. In any case, the truth was mixed with falsehood, and Lou Baichuan wouldn't believe everything.
The reason Cen Yu deliberately reminded Lou Baichuan was because he was still thinking about the plot of participating in the variety show later.
Good heavens! Yu Xinyu, such an innocent girl, is participating in a program with Pei Zhe, such a big bad wolf.
Will they get away with this?
Cen Yu really wanted to tell Lou Baichuan, "Open your eyes and look carefully! Yu Xinyu is your main character, the bottom!"
"...Although I don't know much about these rumors about Pei Zhe, I have heard about his recent participation in a variety show," Lou Baichuan said after thinking for a moment.
Upon hearing this, Cen Yu immediately became interested.
After all, this part of the story doesn't exist in the original novel.
"Do you know who he brought with him?" Cen Yu asked curiously.
"I'm practically an acquaintance of yours," Lou Baichuan said meaningfully.
Although he didn't want to get involved in the Lou family's affairs, the Lou family was very complicated, and one of his younger brothers was currently managing a subsidiary company that had a brand endorsed by Pei Zhe.
Because of this, he learned some inside information, and also knew that his younger brother was now betting on Pei Zhe, thinking that this person would definitely become more famous. The reason was simply that the friends Pei Zhe invited were really heavyweights.
"He's your roommate's brother."
“…Yu Jinheng?!” Cen Yu’s jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Why would Yu Jinheng participate in this silly variety show?! You know, in the original novel, Yu Jinheng never appeared on screen directly; he was always behind the scenes. How come he's suddenly being exposed in front of the camera now?
"Who knows?" Lou Baichuan said.
In fact, he had vaguely heard some things, such as that Yu Jinheng was a "mentally ill" person and that it was not a secret in the industry that he had stayed in the hospital for a period of time.
It seems that someone in the Yu family is planning to make a big deal out of this, so Yu Jinheng is going to take advantage of the variety show on Durian TV and his natural interactions with Pei Zhe and others on the show to turn that so-called rumor into a hoax.
They might even use this as an excuse to make a fuss.
However, Lou Baichuan only had vague guesses about these things and could not be completely certain.
He didn't intend to say these things to Cen Yu, since everyone knew that Yu Jinheng was a real madman, and only a fool would think of fighting to the death with a madman.
...
Pei Zhe had just returned to the villa when he received a message from his agent—
[Agent: Brother Pei, it's done.]
Pei Zhe was still wearing his bathrobe when he casually clicked on a news link sent by his agent, only to find that it was a story about Sang Qianshan and that "male friend" making a big deal out of it.
Simply put, this was also a plan that Pei Zhe and his side had come up with.
The rumor about "renting a friend" was first spread on the forum by someone from Pei Zhe's team. It was a well-known fact that Sang Qianshan had no friends in the industry, and Pei Zhe had also vaguely heard that the other party didn't seem to have many friends outside the industry either.
After all, he didn't have much contact with people in the aristocratic circles.
So his team decided to take drastic measures, posting under the guise of a fictitious "Acting Student A" to imply that Sang Qianshan's team might hire a friend in order for him to participate in the variety show.
This is what Sang Qianshan's team originally wanted to do.
After this commotion, I'm too scared to rent it out anymore.
After all, netizens have very sharp eyes. No matter how ordinary a person is, it's impossible for them to suddenly appear without any clues. Plus, if they really are rented friends, there will definitely be some unnatural moments in the variety show.
