"Xie Chen!"
Chen Lan was surprised that Xie Chen would refuse her invitation to go home, and her voice lowered as she did so.
His emotions suddenly surfaced, and his tone even sounded somewhat fierce.
Everyone else turned their attention and cameras toward Chen Lan, seemingly wondering why Chen Lan's demeanor was different from usual.
Isn't he always calm and composed, and friendly to everyone? Why did he get angry just because Xie Chen refused to go home with him?
Chen Lan immediately realized that he was filming a dating reality show. He suppressed his resentment and put on a gentle smile. He said, "I called my aunt last night. She said she hasn't seen you in a long time and misses you. She hopes you can come home for a visit."
His words once again demonstrated his familiarity with Xie Chen, to the point that he could even talk to Xie Chen's mother on the phone.
Isn't this also another way of asserting sovereignty?
748 watched the show from the depths of his mind, even fanning the flames with a mischievous enthusiasm:
[Fu Baibai, he's provoking you! I swear on the system's authority!]
If the system could detect the provocation, how could Fu Bai not?
However, he didn't say anything, just quietly watched Xie Chen, waiting to see what he would choose.
It was precisely because he had been paying attention to Xie Chen that Fu Bai quickly noticed that when Chen Lan mentioned Xie Chen's mother, a dark light flashed in Xie Chen's eyes, as if he was somewhat impatient.
Before Xie Chen could speak, Chen Lan turned to look at Fu Bai, a smile still playing on her lips, her tone gentle: "Chen Fu Bai, will you grant a mother's wish to see her son?"
This is where moral blackmail and empty promises begin.
If Fu Bai says she wants to continue dating Xie Chen, it's disrespectful to Xie Chen's mother.
Chen Lan not only wanted Xie Chen to choose him, but also cruelly forced Fu Bai to push Xie Chen towards him.
Even if it's under the guise of Xie Chen's mother.
Anyone could see the tense atmosphere between the two.
This looks like a fight is about to break out!
The director's eyes were sparkling as he frantically focused the camera on the three people at the center of the incident, not missing a single micro-expression on their faces.
“He doesn’t need to satisfy me,” Xie Chen stood up, took Fu Bai’s hand, and shielded him behind him. He looked at Chen Lan with icy eyes. “Chen Lan, you should know better than anyone why Ms. Qin and I haven’t seen each other for so long.”
"What? Now she wants to see me, does that mean she wants me to..."
Chen Lan interrupted Xie Chen sharply, saying disapprovingly, "No matter what, your aunt is still your mother. How can you say such things about someone so insignificant?"
He insisted on dragging Fu Bai into this, shifting the blame for Xie Chen's reluctance to go home onto Fu Bai.
Xie Chen wanted to say something, but Fu Bai pressed his hand down. His delicate face showed no anger, but instead he smiled smugly and dazzlingly.
"Xie Chen, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow." Fu Bai leaned closer to Xie Chen and said, "If you don't come, then don't ever come to see me again."
Isn't this just moral blackmail?
He's completely immoral. How does Chen Lan plan to kidnap him?
Moreover, Fu Bai knew that Xie Chen would definitely expose his scars in order to protect him. But he didn't want Xie Chen to mention the past in front of so many cameras.
"Floating white..."
Xie Chen reached out and grasped Fu Bai's hand, holding it tightly in his own.
Fu Bai pinched Xie Chen's cheek and chuckled, "Don't be coy, you're dead if you don't come to see me tomorrow!"
Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled, his features clear and handsome.
"good."
Fu Bai changed from pinching to touching, her fingertips gently tracing Xie Chen's lips before she finally broke free from Xie Chen's tight grip.
"I'm tired, I'm going back upstairs to be careful."
He waved to the crowd and leisurely returned to the villa.
Xie Chen's gaze remained fixed on Fu Bai until Fu Bai's figure disappeared through the gate. Only then did he turn his gaze away and look coldly at Chen Lan.
"Chen Lan, you don't need to threaten me with Ms. Qin. After all, I've already severed ties with her, haven't I?"
Xie Chen understood Fu Bai's concern for him, but he didn't want Fu Bai to bear unnecessary infamy because of him.
Therefore, they are willing to expose their unsavory side to the public.
"If your goal is to make me publicly announce that I have severed ties with Ms. Qin, then congratulations, you've succeeded," Xie Chen added bluntly.
A moment of panic flashed in Chen Lan's eyes, and he hurriedly explained, "No, it's just that Auntie really misses you."
He just wanted to use Ms. Qin to get Xie Chen to choose him!
Xie Chen used to listen to Ms. Qin a lot, even during the Olympics...
Why did he choose to publicly announce that he and Ms. Qin had severed their mother-son relationship, rather than go home to see Ms. Qin even once?
Is it because of the rise and fall of the white?
Chen Lan's gaze darkened, a barely perceptible hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.
Xie Chen ignored Chen Lan, greeted the others, and turned to leave.
After Xie Chen left the courtyard, he did not go to find Fu Bai immediately, but went to the monitoring room to find the director.
The director could probably guess Xie Chen's purpose, so when Xie Chen walked over, he immediately put on a bitter face and preemptively said:
"Xie Chen, it's not that I don't want to help you. When we were promoting it, our main selling point was authenticity and no bad editing, to present the most realistic events that happened during the trip to the audience."
"This scene marks the beginning of the conflict between Fu Bai and Chen Lan, and we definitely need to include it in the final cut."
Xie Chen: "Then we'll put it all in without cutting a single frame, including the fact that I've severed ties with my family."
Director: "You're quite proper... uh..."
The director looked like a duck being grabbed by the neck, his mouth agape in surprise, his neck stretched out, and his face filled with disbelief.
"etc?"
He considered the logic in Xie Chen's words before slowly saying, "You mean we shouldn't cut out the footage from just now?"
Xie Chen nodded: "Mm."
He further emphasized, "If someone threatens you to cut out the footage, I don't care how you deal with it, I will keep those footage intact."
“You don’t need to worry about investors withdrawing their funds,” Xie Chen said, handing a business card to the director. “Later, the person on the business card will contact you to discuss investment.”
The director took the business card with a blank expression, and was stunned when he saw the name, company, and job title on it.
Is this true?
Before Xie Chen could answer, the director immediately put on an extremely obsequious expression, "Don't worry, Xie Chen, not a single frame of the footage that should be kept will be deleted."
Xie Chen expressed his trust in the production team.
Before leaving, Xie Chen mentioned one more thing: "By the way, after you confirm the investment, please turn off the cameras in Fu Bai's room."
Director: "Huh?"
Xie Chen smiled broadly, "I need to coax someone."
As for how to appease them, there's no need to show that to the camera.
