The 20th melon
Lin Cha was a little confused.
A-level contract, ah, and it's a big company like Xinghui! Such a good pie actually fell on her head?
Xu Fei was also confused, but he reacted faster. He realized that Sun Qianqian was trying to poach Lin Cha, and quickly made promises to her. "Lin Cha, terminating your contract is a black mark in the industry! Your haters will accuse you of being treacherous! Pengcheng will also provide you with resources! Don't be easily fooled by President Sun!"
"Will I be criticized by haters if I cancel the appointment?"
Lin Cha, who was still struggling, suddenly brightened up his eyes and was eager to change jobs.
"What kind of black mark is that?" Sun Qianqian said unfazed. "Our Xinghui PR team can easily handle this little 'black material'! And you, on the other hand, said Pengcheng would provide Lincha with resources. Tell me, what resources can they provide?"
Xu Fei choked when he heard this.
What good resources could a small company like Pengcheng have? The best resource in the entire company was being a regular guest on "Leisure Life", but that was also because Tianyao CEO Lu Yanyan and Lin Churou were not on good terms. Knowing that Lin Cha was the fake daughter of the Lin family, she deliberately helped Lin Cha to annoy Lin Churou.
Seeing Sun Qianqian glaring at him, Xu Fei didn't know how to respond. He was also afraid that Lin Cha would really soar to fame after being poached, so he stammered, "We, our company is preparing a web drama for Lin Cha, and we also have some short drama resources..."
"Pengcheng's new web drama?"
Sun Qianqian raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and sneered, "Isn't it just that 'Double-Faced Daughter'? Lin Cha isn't among your proposed leading actors, right? And I remember that your script outline was submitted to the Strawberry platform for review, but it wasn't even approved, and the platform isn't planning to invest! If the platform doesn't participate, with Pengcheng's size, the best they can do is produce a split-revenue drama of over 10 million yuan. What good resources are they then?"
There's a clear dividing line in the Chinese entertainment industry: custom-made dramas and shared-revenue dramas. Simply put, all future productions scheduled for streaming on video platforms undergo an internal evaluation, comprehensively analyzing the IP, script, director, screenwriter, production team, and production company before ultimately being rated.
Generally speaking, projects that can pass the review on the platform are all A-level or above, and the platform will participate in the investment, with the total investment amount being at least 100 million yuan. Such projects are called customized dramas.
As for other projects that fail to pass the review, they are generally rated below A. The platform will not participate in the investment and production. Instead, the production company will attract investment and complete all production on its own. Such projects are generally shared-revenue dramas with investments not exceeding 20 million.
Large companies like Star Overseas only produce customized dramas, while small companies like Pengcheng can only provide resources for profit sharing at most.
As for the short play that Xu Fei mentioned at the end, the investment generally does not exceed five million. Sun Qianqian even looked down on it and was too lazy to mention it.
Xu Fei broke out in a cold sweat.
Comparing resources between Pengcheng and Xinghui is like throwing an egg at a rock. Anyone with a bit of common sense would never choose Pengcheng!
Lin Cha was still hesitating.
It’s not that she’s stupid and can’t tell the difference between good and bad, but...what if she really joins Xinghui and becomes an overnight sensation?
Xinghui looks so amazing! If she becomes famous, wouldn't that go against the system's mission? Then can she still go home?
But the system also said that she was just a newcomer and there was no way she could beat Lin Churou. She just needed to be herself... Doesn't this also mean that even if she signed with Xinghui, it wouldn't be a big problem? The almighty heroine must have a way to bring her down?
Woo woo woo... so conflicted!
Sun Qianqian has been observing Lin Cha, trying to hear her choice from her heart.
But the strange thing was that Lin Cha was clearly thinking about a lot of things, but Sun Qianqian could not hear anything.
She was kicked out of the friend list? But her favorability is as high as 32, so it shouldn't be that serious.
Then why can't I hear it anymore?
Lin Cha thought about it for a long time, becoming more and more confused, but there was no result.
Sun Qianqian then said, "Terminating the contract is a big deal. You don't have to rush to give me an answer. You can go back and think about it. As for the contract for 'Painted Bone', I suggest you wait until you are sure whether to sign with Star Shine before discussing it. After all, according to the profit share between you and Pengcheng, it is definitely not as high as that with us at Star Shine, right!"
The contract for "Painted Bones" was still delayed. But to reassure Lin Cha, Sun Qianqian signed a personal letter of intent with her.
On the way downstairs, Xu Fei persisted and persuaded Lin Cha all the way.
"Sun Qianqian is just making big promises for you! A big company like Xinghui has over a hundred artists under it, so how can they care about you?"
"Think about that Zhou Zexu from before. Didn't he have good conditions? Xinghui didn't even support him much!"
"You have no acting skills, no singing voice, and at best, you're just a little bit good-looking. But there are so many good-looking people in the entertainment industry, there's no shortage of you. If you go to Xinghui, you'll really..."
“That’s enough!”
Lin Cha interrupted Xu Fei impatiently, "Who are you trying to PUA? Do you think I don't know what's going on in your mind? No matter how much Xinghui ignores me, it's still better than Pengcheng! Besides letting me ride on their popularity, has Pengcheng ever given me any real resources?"
The key is to just take advantage of the popularity, but you can't let her become obscured even if you do!
This company is such a waste!
Xu Fei stuttered, feeling guilty. "Did you agree to this marketing campaign to capitalize on the hype?"
Lin Cha: "Anyway, whether I go to Xinghui or not is my business, so stop talking nonsense."
The two walked to the parking lot downstairs. Lin Cha skillfully opened the door of the nanny car, but Xu Fei suddenly stopped her with a gloomy expression.
Lin Cha was stunned: "What are you doing?"
"You ungrateful bastard! You're about to terminate your contract with our company, and you still want to ride in the company car?" Xu Fei rudely pushed Lin Cha away. "Get out of the way! Take the subway back!"
Xu Fei turned around and got into the nanny car.
Just as he was about to drive away, suddenly, a luxurious and high-end RV stopped next to Lin Cha.
Lin Cha didn't recognize the car, but it was obvious that this car was newer, bigger, and more expensive than Xu Fei's nanny car.
A woman in a neat suit came down from the RV, her hair neatly combed and her face fully made up.
Seeing Lin Cha, she smiled and shook hands with him.
"Hello, Miss Lin. I'm Chen Yun, Star Shine's chief agent. Mr. Sun mentioned that you're interested in joining Star Shine, but haven't decided yet. While you're thinking, we can let you experience the treatment of Star Shine artists in advance."
As Chen Yun finished speaking, the three girls got out of the RV.
"These are the staff the company has prepared for you: a life assistant, responsible for all your daily needs; a stylist, responsible for your daily outfits; and a nutritionist, responsible for your balanced daily diet."
"Our company's mission is that artists work hard to earn money, and we serve them wholeheartedly. We're not like some small, low-ranking companies..." Chen Yun said, glancing at Xu Fei. "How could they actually pamper their own artists in public? And even complain about them being ungrateful? Why don't you reflect on yourself and ask if you've truly fulfilled your responsibilities as an agent?!"
Xu Fei's face flushed.
Chen Yun didn't mention anyone by name, but his face felt burning with pain.
Lin Cha ignored Xu Fei and followed Chen Yun into the RV.
This is a C-type RV, 5-9 meters long. It is fully equipped with beds, tables and chairs, toilets, etc. It has rich facilities and does not feel cramped. It is just right for five people.
Lin Cha sat in front of the table, on which were various fruits.
Chen Yun sat across from Lin Cha and pulled out a tablet. "Ms. Lin, since we may be collaborating in the future, let me first briefly introduce Xinghui to you. Mr. Sun said that although you've been to Xinghui twice, you're still not familiar with the company."
Lin Cha nodded, and Chen Yun continued to introduce:
"Star Shine is currently ranked at least among the top three agencies in the Chinese entertainment industry. We are involved in all aspects, including movies, TV series, web series, variety shows, singers, and idols. Three of the top ten movies in history were produced by Star Shine."
"Ms. Sun is interested in you pursuing a career in film. She thinks your looks are perfect for the big screen. As your agent, I watched the clip you just performed in 'Painted Bones' and I also think that a career in film is more suitable for you."
"First, the production cycle of a film is shorter than that of a TV series, which can help you quickly build popularity and fame. Secondly, there are barriers between movie stars and TV stars in the industry. If you start with the film industry, you will be much faster than other artists."
"Also, if you decide to sign with Starlight, Starlight will cover your daily expenses. Mr. Sun mentioned that you rent a house, so the company can reimburse the rent. If you don't like this house, we can find you another one."
Lin Cha was extremely excited after listening to Chen Yun's introduction.
In fact, when Sun Qianqian asked her to terminate the contract, she was already very tempted. Now Sun Qianqian sent Chen Yun over, obviously she would not give up until Lin Cha signed the contract.
The benefits of a big company are so great!
The other side.
As soon as Xu Fei left Xinghui Building, he called Lin Churou and told her that Lin Cha would soon join "Painted Bones" to play Shang Qianqian.
"Isn't Shang Qianqian the second female lead? How could she possibly get such a good role!" Lin Churou gritted her teeth, feeling unwilling.
She started out as an actress in web dramas, and is now a hot new star in the industry. However, there is a chain of contempt in the film and television industry, and actors who act in movies always have a higher status than those who act in web dramas.
Lin Churou's current status wasn't enough to be a second female lead in a big-budget movie. Even if she wanted to act, she'd have to rely on the Lin family's money.
"Lin Cha's acting is so bad, she definitely didn't get this role based on her abilities!" Xu Fei said indignantly on the other end of the phone. "I just saw Liu Mingqian's car in the parking lot. Lin Cha has been very close to Liu Mingqian lately. I think she's hooking up with him!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Churou sneered disdainfully, then breathed a sigh of relief.
If Lin Cha had truly gotten the role based on her own strength, it would have been worse than killing Lin Churou. But if Lin Cha had gotten the role based on a man, Lin Churou would have been quite receptive, even developing a sense of superiority.
"It seems like Lin Cha will definitely terminate her contract with Cheng Peng. Signing on with 'Painted Bones' is also a foregone conclusion. However, with such a great resource, and with so many people eyeing it, it won't fall into her hands so easily! Xu Fei, keep an eye on it. Once the cast of 'Painted Bones' is officially announced, release the news about Lin Cha and Liu Mingqian!"
When the time comes, she wants to see how Lin Cha, who relied on men to get to the top, can whitewash herself and turn things around!
In the following days, Lin Cha stayed in the Zijinhua community, eating the diet meals prepared by the nutritionist every day, and memorizing the lines of the script of "Painted Bones".
Xinghui provides very good benefits to its artists. Room 2502 is the house rented by the former book-crosser. The room is very empty, but Chen Yun not only had furniture delivered to her, but also sent clothes from various big brands.
Under the sugar-coated bullet, Lin Cha could not hold on and signed with Xinghui. When Pengcheng's boss learned that Lin Cha's next company was Xinghui, he also gave Sun Qianqian face and only asked for a liquidated damages of one million.
In this way, Lin Cha jumped from a tiny company to join Star Shine and became one of the artists that Star Shine will promote in the future.
In a blink of an eye, a week has passed and it is time to record the variety show again.
The second live broadcast started with five guests appearing together. In addition to the four original cast members, Zhou Zexu also joined "Leisure Life".
The program team has set the theme of the second variety show as "Live a Good Life". Everyone needs to propose their "variety show goals" for the next eleven episodes at the beginning of the recording.
Zhou Zexu was the first to propose his own variety show goal - "to take good care of my hair."
"In the future, I will start a healthy lifestyle on 'Leisure Life'! I will go to bed and get up early every day, eat more carbohydrates, and never stay up late! I will restore my hair! I hope friends who have hair loss problems can learn from me!"
[Hahaha, Zhou Zexu's team is awesome, they're using hair loss prevention as a marketing tool!]
[Celebrities should have strategies for growing hair, right? Woohoo, I need to learn! I can’t stop losing my hair!]
I quite like Zhou Zexu's style. Honestly, how many people are naturally beautiful? I think working hard to become more beautiful and handsome is also a good thing!
[Keep going, Xuxu! I'm rooting for you!]
Everyone takes turns speaking from left to right, and Lin Cha is the second one to speak.
Lin Cha knew Zhou Zexu's "variety show goal" was a pre-arranged plan with the production team, a strategy to whitewash his reputation. But she had no negative information and no marketing strategy, so she could only dryly say, "My future variety show goal is... to cook well?"
Liu Mingqian was the third one. Upon hearing this, his eyes rolled and he agreed, "Then my goal for the variety show is to eat Lin Cha's cooking!"
Lin Cha:?
Chen Xianzhi: "My goal is to eat Lin Cha's cooking well +1!"
Jiang Mingkai: "Enjoy Lin Cha's cooking +2!"
[Hahahahaha!]
[Lin Cha: ??? So I'm the only one here working?]
[Last episode, I felt like the guests weren't familiar with each other, especially Jiang Mingkai and Lin Cha. Now, I think they're pretty familiar with each other!]
[There is a strange sense of harmony!]
[By the way, do you think there are too few female guests? Lin Cha is the only female guest, and the rest are all male! If Lin Cha were the younger sister, I'd like to see a beautiful older sister!]
[Wen Wanning is the older sister, but I heard she was filming a movie and was delayed. I guess she'll be added in a few episodes!]
[Acting Queen Wen has already posted a message on Big Eyes Boy, saying she's invited a friend to help out. I'm sure a new guest will appear soon!]
The show continues.
Today was the first time that Zhou Zexu officially became a permanent guest, so the rest of the people did not invite new guests. In addition, Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi received news two days ago that the farmer who helped with the live broadcast of selling fruit last time was getting married, and the new daughter-in-law invited them to the wedding.
The director team thought it would be interesting to shoot a rural wedding, so they discussed with the guests and decided to make wedding cakes together as a wedding gift.
While preparing in the kitchen, Lin Cha carefully approached Zhou Zexu. Seeing that everyone else was busy making wedding cakes, she lowered her head and whispered, "Zhou Zexu, didn't Teacher Liu and the others say they have a small group? Have you joined their group in the past few days?"
Zhou Zexu's eyelids twitched.
I almost forgot about this!
Zhou Zexu stammered, "There's no such thing as a small group! No, no, I made a mistake!"
"No?"
Lin Cha tilted her head, a look of confusion in her eyes. But why did she always feel that Liu Mingqian and his group were hiding something from her?
After making the wedding cakes, all the guests boarded the minibus prepared by the director team and headed to the farmer’s house.
The farmer who got married today was named Li, and everyone called him Uncle Li. He had an orchard in the mountainous area of Qingchuan Village. The village they lived in was more remote than Qingchuan Village, about an hour's drive away.
The minibus was shaking all the way and the interior of the car was bumpy, even the netizens in the live broadcast room felt dizzy.
The director explained, "This is already considered good. When we were preparing for the variety show, Mr. Lu and I came to this place before. At that time, there was no cement road here, just a piece of dirt land! This road was invested and built by Mr. Lu."
Mr. Lu, whose full name is Lu Yanyan, is the CEO of Tianyao Entertainment. "Leisure Life" is a variety show produced by Tianyao.
Driver: "Yes, in the past, people in Uncle Li's village had to rely on donkey carts to get out, and a round trip took five or six hours! Now with this cement road, it takes less than an hour to get to the village!"
"It's such a hassle to come out and deliver the invitations," Lin Cha asked curiously.
She had watched the replay of the first episode of the variety show where Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi were selling goods. There was no problem with the two of them selling the goods, but the old man surnamed Li was a bit weird.
"The bride had someone send it here," the director said. "I've never seen the bride, but I heard she was a girl from outside the family who married in. Judging from her handwriting, she seems to be a cultured person."
Lin Cha looked out the window. The minibus was going slowly, passing through vast expanses of pristine forest, only to feel the place's antiquity and dilapidation.
Would an educated person from outside be willing to marry into such a mountainous area?
The minibus drove through the mountains for an hour and finally arrived at the destination.
This is a very run-down village. The loess mud walls are covered with cracks. The tiles on the roof have been dilapidated by wind and sun, and there are spider webs hanging in the corners of the courtyard walls.
[Hasn't China entered the modern era? Why are there still such old-fashioned villages?]
[Didn't you just hear the director and the others say that this place was previously inaccessible, and it was only after the owner of Tianyao Entertainment invested money to build a road that villages without roads are considered backward?]
[It feels like my hometown was like 20 years ago… I feel like the internet here is not very good, and the live broadcasts are always laggy…]
[It's more than just a jam! I've been looking at the picture of Zhou Zexu picking his nose for three minutes now!]
The village is very dilapidated and the signal is not good.
The wedding banquets held by farmers in such places were naturally not very good. They just decorated the yard with some red silk cloth and set up a few tables, which was considered a wedding banquet.
I heard that Uncle Li didn't intend to hold this banquet, but he couldn't persuade his son. Besides, the banquet could collect some membership fees, so maybe he could even make a small profit.
At first, Uncle Li's face was filled with disdain when he saw the guests. Liu Mingqian quickly extorted a thousand yuan from Director Yu, and Uncle Li's face instantly brightened up when he saw the money, happily making room for the five of them.
But the atmosphere during the meal was still strange. Lin Cha felt as if the villagers were staring at them, giving him goose bumps.
Unable to eat, Lin Cha tugged at Liu Mingqian's sleeve and said, "Teacher Liu, I need to go to the bathroom."
[Looking at the restroom in this place, it doesn’t look clean either. I hope I don’t fall into the trap! ]
Liu Mingqian: “…”
"Why don't you ask Xiao Xu to accompany you?" Liu Mingqian asked.
Xiao Xu is Lin Cha’s personal assistant and came in with the director’s minibus.
"No need!" Lin Cha wasn't used to having an assistant follow her around all the time. "I'm just going to the bathroom. I'll be back soon."
"Well, we're almost done eating. We'll leave when you come back."
"good."
The toilets in the countryside are very dirty.
The shed made of branches and plastic bags always gives people the illusion that it will fall down with a gust of wind. There are two boards inside, and human excrement underneath.
Lin Cha looked at it, his stomach churning, and he vomited out everything he had just eaten.
Without even going to the bathroom, Lin Cha turned around and wanted to leave quickly.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
I hadn't walked far when I heard knocking on the door of the adobe house next door.
Lin Cha turned around in confusion, "Is there someone there?"
No one answered, but the knocking sound continued, "Dong Dong Dong——"
The sound was not loud, but enough for Lin Cha who was passing by to hear it.
Lin Cha swallowed his saliva.
What's going on?
Casual variety shows suddenly entered horror mode?
Just in case, Lin Cha opened the Chigua system to see what was going on here. Unfortunately, she didn't know Uncle Li's real name, nor did she know the name of the mountain village, so she couldn't locate it.
Lin Cha put away the melon-eating system, swallowed his saliva, and moved forward cautiously.
The adobe house in front of me is similar to the surrounding buildings, but there is a "囍" character pasted on the door and red silk hanging on the window next to it.
Is this... a wedding room?
Lin Cha had never seen a wedding room in the countryside, but this one felt quite similar, though inexplicably a little scary.
She quietly approached and looked through the crack in the window next to her. She saw a young woman leaning against the doorway. Her clothes were covered in dirt and her hair was messy.
She seemed unable to speak and could only babble and knock on the door.
Lin Cha remembered that the guests at the dinner had said that the bride couldn't speak. Uncle Li was worried that she would embarrass herself, so he didn't let her come out to toast.
Is this the bride?
The bride seemed to have not eaten for a long time. Her lips were pale and chapped, and her breath was very weak. She slid down the wooden board.
Lin Cha panicked and quickly removed the padlock on the door and pushed it open.
"Are you the bride? Are you okay?"
The moment the door opened, the dazzling light from outside shone into the room and fell on the bride. The bride was frightened when she saw someone coming in, and she quickly hid behind the closet.
She curled up, not daring to move. The light in front of her eyes gradually faded, and as her eyes adjusted, she saw a strange girl coming in.
Her clothes were very clean and she didn't look like someone from this village.
The bride's eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed forward and grabbed Lin Cha's hand tightly.
She kept gesturing with her fingers, which Lin Cha couldn't understand, but from her lip movements, Lin Cha understood what she meant - "I don't want to get married, please, save me!"
Lin Cha suddenly had a very bad premonition in her heart. She did not continue to ask questions, but turned and left holding the bride's hand.
As soon as he went out, he was surrounded by a swarm of villagers.
"What are you doing? Are you going to take A-Kun's bride away?"
"I knew you outsiders had no good intentions! You're here to cause trouble!"
"The bride belongs to A-Kun, what on earth do you want to do?"
The villagers started to use both verbal and physical means to take the bride away.
The bride let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Just as the bride was about to be carried away by the villagers, suddenly, a broom fell from the sky and slammed between the villagers and the bride!
Dust was flying and yellow sand was rolling.
Jiang Mingkai never thought that the swordplay he learned on the set could be used like this in real life! This move was just a fancy trick, but it still looked quite intimidating.
The villagers watched with eager eyes, not daring to step forward for a moment, while the guests immediately surrounded Lin Cha and the bride to protect them.
Liu Mingqian saw the bride and stared at her, "Lin Cha, you stole someone else's bride?!"
Lin Cha: "No, the bride doesn't want to get married at all. They are forcing her to get married!"
The bride nodded quickly.
She couldn't speak, but she could understand.
Liu Mingqian was completely overwhelmed. He had only come to a wedding to avoid farm work, but he hadn't expected to encounter something like this.
"What's going on?" Liu Mingqian winked at Lin Cha. Lin Cha could read the "Eating Melon System" and must know a lot.
But Lin Cha didn't understand what Liu Mingqian meant, and stared at him with innocent deer eyes.
What's going on, Mr. Liu? Is there sand in your eyes? Is your vision failing?
Liu Mingqian: “…”
"I mean..." Liu Mingqian tried to remain calm and asked in a low voice, "What's going on with this bride? Or what's going on with this family?"
Lin Cha looked innocent, "How should I know?"
[I don't know the family's name, so I can't use the "Chigua" system to find it!]
Liu Mingqian suddenly realized something and frowned again.
He didn't know what was going on, but seeing the bride huddled up in fear, there was definitely something wrong with the engagement.
Uncle Li walked up to the crowd, his face grimacing. "Boss Liu, Boss Chen, we kindly invited you to our wedding, how could you kidnap our bride?"
“That’s right!”
The surrounding villagers echoed.
Liu Mingqian protected Lin Cha and the bride behind him, his face serious. "Uncle Li, does this girl really want to marry your son? Why is she locked up in the house before getting married? Are you forcing her to get married?"
Uncle Li's face turned extremely bad when he heard this.
At this time, a younger villager beside Uncle Li whispered, "Uncle, they look like they're from some production crew. They have cameras!"
Uncle Li's face changed drastically.
The PD followed the guests with a camera. The signal in the village was not good, so the live broadcast room was turned off and it was now in recording mode.
——But the villagers don’t know.
Uncle Li's eyes suddenly became sharp. He picked up the wine bottle in his hand and smashed it hard at the camera!
[Ah! They're going to smash the camera!]
Jiang Mingkai moved extremely quickly. The moment Uncle Li picked up the wine bottle, he raised his leg and kicked it hard, actually kicking the bottle out of Uncle Li's hand!
Everyone was stunned for two seconds.
This kid knows kung fu!
The guests also looked at Jiang Mingkai in surprise.
Lin Cha: [Brother Kai, you're awesome!]
Jiang Mingkai felt guilty.
These were all fancy moves he learned on the set, and with Lin Cha's reminders, they could fool people, but not much.
The villagers have the advantage of numbers.
Although the guests brought their staff with them, except for the filming PD, the others were on the minibus. In total, there were only six people on their side.
At least, we have to scare them so that they don't dare to take action.
Chen Xianzhi had a strong ability to control the situation and was the first to react. He patted the shoulders of Liu Mingqian and Zhou Zekai next to him, signaling them to relax.
Then, he walked up to the villagers and pointed at the camera that was filming the PD. "Uncle Li, you know this thing, right? It can be broadcast live, and everyone can see it. Last time we helped your family sell fruit, we used this thing."
"The netizens in the live broadcast room are all watching us. If you smash this camera, they will definitely think something happened to us. Then--"
Chen Xianzhi looked around at the villagers at the scene, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
“—I’ll call the police.”
The villagers looked stern.
Call the police? !
When several villagers heard these two words, they all retreated and their momentum weakened a lot.
Uncle Li also looked panicked.
But he was still calmer than the others, and stood up straight in a mysterious manner.
"So what if we call the police? This is our Li family's daughter-in-law! My son's bride! Do you still want to take her away?"
Upon hearing this, the bride shook her head repeatedly, eagerly grabbing Lin Cha's hand and hiding behind him.
Liu Mingqian: "It seems that your bride doesn't think so! You said she is your Li family's daughter-in-law, where is the evidence? Marriage certificate? Household registration book? There must be one, right?"
Uncle Li avoided looking.
"No?" Liu Mingqian pretended to sneer, "If not, I would doubt whether this bride is a real bride or where she came from-"
"Yes! Of course!"
Uncle Li was worried that Liu Mingqian would say something he couldn't say on the air, so he interrupted him immediately. But Liu Mingqian continued to stare at him intently, with a half-smile that made him feel uncomfortable.
Uncle Li could only grit his teeth, turned around and ordered the man next to him, "Go, get A-Kun's marriage certificate."
The guests looked at each other, their hearts tightening.
ID, with name.
In any case, as long as they get the exact name, Lin Cha will be able to find out what exactly happened in the village, and they will feel more confident.
The marriage certificate finally arrived.
The little red notebook was obviously brand new, but the gold-stamped words on it seemed to be peeling off a little, giving it the impression of poor quality.
The bride shook her head violently when she saw the marriage certificate.
Lin Cha also frowned.
【Wang Afang?】
[This name is fake! This ID is fake too. These people are forging and deceiving people!]
The guests' hearts sank.
If the woman was forced to get married, then the marriage certificate is naturally fake and the name is also made up.
Then Lin Cha cannot be located.
This is a difficult situation.
[But the man’s name…]
Lin Cha narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of pride flashing in the corners of his eyes. [Li Yunkun, this is truly real!]
[Uncle Li's bride didn't marry into the Li family willingly; she was sold here by human traffickers!]
