When Zhong Yi'an said these words, he was genuinely concerned for Jiang Tian.
She is an ordinary person and it would be difficult for her to withstand the scrutiny of cameras.
Jiang Tian raised an eyebrow at him: "Do you know that the production team has been targeting me? They've been planning to use me as a point of contention from the very beginning to boost the show's viewership. Even if you didn't know before, you do now. We've been going around in circles talking about the same old things. I've told you before, I want to be myself."
“Being yourself will lead to cyberbullying. I know the production team is looking for a way to break through, and if they edit your footage maliciously, I will try to negotiate with them.”
Jiang Tian laughed: "Zhong Yi'an, stop making that face, okay? We don't owe each other anything. I came to this show because I took your shares, there's no other reason. Other people come to this show to get a divorce, but we've been divorced for a long time. You don't have to worry about what I want to do. I'm just here to be your supporting role, you should thank me for my dedication."
Zhong Yi'an frowned; he felt that Jiang Tian was a stranger.
The two have been married for some time and have had the most intimate relationship. Even if there is no love between them, there is still kinship and friendship.
“I just don’t want you to be subjected to public criticism. You don’t need to be so aggressive towards me. You weren’t like this in the Zhong family.”
Jiang Tian's tone was leisurely: "Because I have to maintain the demeanor of a noblewoman. In my position, I have to do my job. I married you for the benefit of my family, so of course I have to do everything a wife should do. Now that the exchange has been completed, I should be myself."
She looked carefree and elegant.
"People online will use very foul language."
"So what?" Jiang Tian smiled at him. "I need to give myself some real space. You've been trying to persuade me these past two days, but it's no use. Let's just get through these two weeks and then go our separate ways."
Since she had already gone this far, Zhong Yi'an didn't want to persuade her any further.
The journey continued in the afternoon.
The production team seemed afraid that the guests would be idle, so they arranged for them to climb a mountain.
"Whoever reaches the summit first will get the best dinner tonight, while the couple who arrives last might only get a boxed meal. Remember, this is a team mission; reaching the summit alone does not count."
After announcing the rules, the director disappeared in a flash.
Jiang Tian looked at Zhong Yi'an and said, "Let's go then."
She didn't even exchange pleasantries with the other two teams of guests, but simply smiled and called out to Zhong Yi'an.
Zhong Yi looked at her steadily and nodded.
[A rich heiress like Jiang Tian probably won't last long; look at her, she's so delicate and fair-skinned.]
That's not necessarily true. It's just climbing a mountain; anyone can climb it. Don't judge others.
[People are speaking up for Jiang Tian now; things have really changed.]
Jiang Tian does look somewhat delicate, but her personality "ruins" her appearance.
I thought they would be the last to arrive, but Jiang Tian and Zhong Yi'an were both in excellent physical condition. They walked to the halfway point of the mountain without slowing down.
The other two couples had completely disappeared from sight, leaving them far behind.
The two walked halfway without attracting much attention.
Although there are many tourists at this attraction, it's always the same group of people who are actually there to see the sights, while the tourists are a different group. Overall, their variety show has only aired one episode and hasn't yet become a household name.
It was under these circumstances that Jiang Tian and Zhong Yi'an met a little girl.
The little girl was exquisitely beautiful and was crying loudly, seemingly looking for her parents.
Losing a child in a scenic area is not uncommon. The staff from the scenic area have arrived and are comforting her, while also helping to contact the police.
The problem is, as soon as the little girl saw Jiang Tian, she immediately clung to her, hugged her leg, and shouted "Mommy!"
Those present were instinctively surprised.
The viewers in the live stream were also shocked.
[Jiang Tian has an illegitimate daughter outside of marriage? Now I understand why she's acting so erratically.]
[Upstairs, do you brush your teeth with toilet cleaner every day? Your mouth is filthy!]
What exactly is going on? Was this arranged by the production team?
The director stated that they hadn't arranged any extras at all; the production team didn't have the money to hire extras. After switching to a live broadcast format, the production team had to spend every penny wisely.
However, being mistaken for someone's mother by mistake seemed like a good thing. The director was somewhat gloating and wanted to see how Jiang Tian would react.
Jiang Tian was unable to walk because the little girl had grabbed her leg.
Zhong Yi'an had no choice but to stop as well.
"We are filming a variety show. Could you please take this child to your office and wait for her parents to arrive?"
Zhong Yi'an tried to negotiate with the staff of the scenic area.
The problem is, the little girl burst into tears as soon as she heard that she was going to be sent away.
"Mom, please don't send me away! I promise I'll never take my brother's toys again! Mom, please let me stay!"
Jiang Tian frowned as she listened to her desperate sobs.
See? She's about to unleash her cold-blooded nature again.
She doesn't like children, so why would she help one? This child is really good at recognizing people.
But the little girl is really quite pitiful.
Jiang Tian looked down at the little girl: "I'm not your mother, but I can be your mother for a while. Right now, there's only one thing you need to do."
Her words were concise and to the point, and the little girl quickly understood them.
Her eyes were still brimming with tears as she looked at Jiang Tian, her expression somewhat bewildered.
Jiang Tian only said one sentence: "Don't hold me so tightly, I can't walk. Hold my hand, I won't run away."
Her eyes were very convincing, and upon hearing her words, the little girl tentatively extended her hand.
Her little hands looked dark and dirty, and it was hard to tell what she had touched.
Jiang Tian took her hand without hesitation or disgust.
The staff member winked at her, and Jiang Tian pulled the little girl back: "Alright, let's not be stared at like monkeys here. Let's find a place to sit down."
The little girl stopped crying and nodded obediently.
But when the staff tried to lead them into the office, the little girl started to cry again.
"stop--"
Jiang Tian made a gesture and called out a word, and the little girl stopped subconsciously.
"You don't want to sit in the office, you just want to stay here, is that what you mean?"
The little girl nodded timidly, her bright black eyes filled with pleading: "Mommy, I want you to stay here with me."
"But Mom wants to go hiking. Would you like to go hiking with Mom?"
The little girl thought for a moment, then nodded.
Jiang Tian patted the little girl's hair: "My baby is so good."
The little girl smiled sweetly as she was praised.
Then, Jiang Tian looked at Zhong Yi'an and smiled, "Mom's physical condition isn't great, so it would be tiring to climb the mountain with you. Let's have Dad carry you, and we can all climb to the top together as a family. Mom will take you to see the view from the top, okay?"
