Chapter 146: Sister, Calm Down
She thought that she would have to eat later anyway, and there were so many delicious street foods here that she would definitely have difficulty making choices while shopping. If she thought about it carefully, it would be a waste of a lot of time.
After a while, Liao Jiake responded softly: "Then I'll eat with you."
She ordered the same bowl of beef noodles as Meng Chuyuan and the others, and asked the boss to pack up a portion to take away later.
"Why did that sister go back first?" Tingjiu had already finished all the noodles, with half a bowl of soup left in the bowl. He took a tissue to wipe his mouth and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Liao Jiake looked a little embarrassed. She was afraid that Tingjiu would continue asking questions.
Liao Jiake couldn't lie in front of the live camera, after all, everyone saw what they just did.
Fortunately, at this moment, the beef noodles ordered by Liao Jiake had already arrived on the table, and one portion was packaged.
Liao Jiake picked up the chopsticks next to her and started eating with a little anxiety.
Tingjiu threw the tissue he had used to wipe his mouth into the trash can, and caught a glimpse of Liao Jiake wolfing down her food, thinking she was in a hurry to bring dinner back for her sister.
"Sister Liao, I can bring the beef noodles back for you." It just so happened that he was full and had nothing to do.
Liao Jiake raised her head and declined politely, "I'll just take it back myself later."
"It's okay, just sit down and eat slowly. I'll take this beef noodles back for you." Ting Jiu stood up from his chair, gathered his things, and then picked up the packaged beef noodles on the table. Without waiting for Liao Jiake to speak, he took action.
[Xiao Jiujiu, you’re such a straight man, if you could read people’s expressions a little, you wouldn’t ask this question, hahahaha]
[Who can resist Xiao Jiujiu's constant calling of "sister"?]
[Keke said: Don’t come over here, I’m still waiting to go back and comfort my sister]
[Even though Coco is upset with her sister, she still thinks of bringing her something to eat]
[Help, he really took it, he really took it, what a kind man]
For a moment, Liao Jiake was speechless as she watched Ting Jiu walk out of the beef noodle restaurant.
Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen had not left yet, but their group's live broadcast equipment was taken away unconsciously by Ting Jiu.
From the moment they decided to go rowing, the staff of the program team stopped following them and let the guests broadcast live on their own.
Now they can only appear in Liao Jiake's live broadcast room.
Meng Chuyuan raised her eyes and noticed the worry on Liao Jiake's face, so she helped Tingjiu to speak: "Don't worry, Xiaojiu is a reliable person, he can get things done for you."
“…” That wasn’t what she was worried about.
Liao Jiayan was still angry with her. If Tingjiu saw Liao Jiayan later and mentioned her in front of her, she didn't know how she would react.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Meng Chuyuan reminded her: "Eat quickly, it's almost time to go back."
"good."
At this time, the director was still persuading Liao Jiayan, trying to find ways to calm her down and make her give up the idea of withdrawing from the recording.
Liao Jiayan: "How much do you want to compensate? Just tell me."
The director talked around with her for a long time and never mentioned the penalty for breach of contract. The audience had already accepted the lineup of permanent guests. Changing the guests in the middle of the show would be a huge loss for the program team. Even if they got her penalty for breach of contract, it would not fill the hole.
"Sister, can you understand me?"
The director's face was filled with melancholy. He spoke to her heartfeltly, "If you have the money to withdraw from the production, you can just pay the liquidated damages. But I have to support the entire production team. If you withdraw, where will I find people to support you? Hiring people also costs money, and they may not be available."
Liao Jiayan asked calmly, "You can't withdraw from the show for personal reasons, right?"
She had long regretted returning to China and agreeing to accompany Liao Jiake to record the show.
As sisters, she had already done this much for Liao Jiake, but in the end she still wasn't respected, so she felt there was no need to continue cooperating.
The director looked around and found that there were many staff members nearby, so he took Liao Jiayan to a secluded corner.
Liao Jiayan remained calm in the face of the situation and did not fall out with the director because he was unwilling to terminate the contract.
She followed the director over and asked straight to the point, "How much did my sister give you to invite her to the show?"
This problem has been bothering Liao Jiayan for some time.
Liao Jiake keeps her family relationships very secret, and outsiders don’t know that she has a younger sister. If it weren’t for the need of this variety show, everyone would think that Liao Jiake is an only child.
Liao Jiayan couldn't understand how the program crew found them. Did they just invite a random celebrity and then find someone else to participate like Lu Jinsen did?
When this topic was mentioned, the director's expression became serious.
He was silent for a few seconds, then revealed the truth: "To be honest, I was able to deliver the invitation to your sister because I knew you existed."
"Did she tell you?"
The director waved his hand and spoke softly, "I discovered it... It was around the time your sister got married and announced her retirement. I was filming a variety show abroad at the time, and I saw you walking down the street with a man. I almost thought you were too exhausted from work and had lost your mind. I thought the person I saw was your sister."
At that time, the director found a place to smoke, and he saw it by accident. He was surprised at the time and thought he was seeing things.
After all, Liao Jiake just announced her marriage not long ago, she can’t be cheating like this, right?
But just on that day, the hot search showed Liao Jiake and her husband going to the gym hand in hand in China, and the director felt that something was wrong.
How can two people look so similar in both body shape and face? It's like they were carved from the same template.
"Then how do you know that the person you saw was not her, but me?"
Director: "When I was doing the first season, I asked your sister to be a part of it but she declined. Then I happened to run into her at a friend's party one day and I mentioned seeing you to her. She explained that it might have been you and your boyfriend that I saw."
Liao Jiayan sneered and said nothing more.
Liao Jiake was willing to explain to him, but in fact she also wanted to participate in the second season of the variety show and take this opportunity to reveal the news to the director.
He happened to have the idea of filming the second season, so he naturally thought of Liao Jiake and invited her to participate, and she agreed very smoothly.
Tingjiu came out of the noodle shop, walked a few hundred meters, crossed the bridge to the other side, and returned to the meeting place in about five or six minutes.
He was holding the live broadcast equipment in his hand, and he didn't notice anything happening along the way. The camera was rear-mounted, and it captured the entire process of Tingjiu hurrying on the road.
As they were about to step into the small courtyard where they were supposed to gather, Tingjiu called out, "Sister Liao, I brought you some beef noodles."
Hearing his voice, the people inside stopped talking tacitly.
"Sister Liao." After hearing Jiu come in, he put the beef noodles on the table and called Liao Jiayan to come and eat.
Seeing Tingjiu casually put the live broadcast equipment on the table, the staff immediately came over to adjust the camera and record the two of them.
Liao Jiayan's expression calmed down a lot. She walked over as if nothing had happened. When she saw the beef noodles on the table, she asked in surprise, "Did you bring this for me?"
"Yes." Tingjiu revealed an innocent face with a gentle smile on his lips: "I brought some food back for you on behalf of another sister."
Ting Jiudu is a little face-blind, and after recording the show for a few days, he still couldn't tell the identities of the twins apart.
But no matter who it is, as long as they are older than Ting Jiu, he can just call her sister.
When Liao Jiayan heard him talking about another sister, she knew without a doubt that it must be Liao Jiake.
Thinking of her two-faced appearance, Liao Jiayan's face darkened a little, and a cold light flashed in her deep eyes.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Tingjiu urged, "Eat it quickly, the noodles will get clumpy if you leave them out for too long."
"I'm not hungry, you eat." There was no emotion in Liao Jiayan's voice, but her micro-expression showed unhappiness.
Tingjiu scratched his head and said, "But I've already eaten."
"Then give it to the director and the others."
Ignorance is not a crime, so Liao Jiayan naturally would not take her anger out on Tingjiu.
The director happened to be passing by and when he heard about this good news, he actually stopped and waited silently for the beef noodles.
Liao Jiayan picked up the beef noodles from the table and handed them directly to the director next to her: "Director, this beef noodles is for you."
What's wrong with this girl? She doesn't look happy.
【I just arrived, does anyone know what happened? 】
[I almost forgot that this was the dedicated live broadcast room for the bad-ass group. Xiao Jiujiu accidentally took it away, causing me to completely fail to understand the wonderful atmosphere between the two sisters.]
[To be honest, I've been craving that bowl of beef noodles for a long time. If you don't want to eat it, can't you let me have it? Wow wow wow]
[Look at the director's slutty look. He must have been craving it for a long time. His saliva is almost flowing out.]
When the director reached out to take it, he even said politely, "Don't you want to eat it?"
In order to give the beef noodles away, Liao Jiayan said indifferently: "I don't eat beef noodles."
"Huh?" Tingjiu looked at her seriously and asked curiously, "You don't like beef noodles?"
He saw Liao Jiake eating with great relish just now, and thought that twins had the same taste.
But this noodle was packed by Liao Jiake for her. Didn’t she know that she doesn’t eat beef noodles?
Tingjiu didn't dare say this in front of the camera, fearing that he would be accused of fanning the flames, so he could only keep his doubts in his heart.
When the director heard Liao Jiayan say this, he took the beef noodles with peace of mind: "Then I'll eat it."
Not long after, the other two groups returned.
The Shuangqi siblings ate while they were shopping, and when they came back they were still holding the leftover hand-pulled pancakes and octopus balls in their hands.
Meng Chuyuan and the others were the last to return to the gathering place. As soon as Liao Jiake came in, he looked for Liao Jiayan.
Seeing Liao Jiayan and Ting Jiu sitting there, she quickly came over.
"Yanyan, have you eaten the beef noodles?"
Tingjiu raised his eyes and was about to say that this sister didn't eat beef noodles, but was interrupted by the director's voice: "She didn't eat it, I ate it."
Liao Jiake looked over when she heard the sound and saw the director sitting in his seat, eating noodles with big mouthfuls.
“…”
[Hahaha, the director can't explain it clearly now. You really ate it when I asked you to. You are just watching the fun and not minding the trouble.]
How can this sister be so shameless as to ask if she has eaten? Doesn’t she know her sister doesn’t eat beef noodles?
[Oh my god! What's going on? Why is that part showing up in the director's mouth?]
[Hahahaha, sister in front, you're going to make me rich by laughing. This was originally a very serious scene, but I was completely broken by your words. You're showing off, you're so imaginative.]
This live broadcast was a bit confusing. The guests separated briefly, and we fans had to run back and forth. In the end, we didn’t understand what happened.
Liao Jiake's face froze and she didn't know what to say.
Meng Chuyuan and the others were also confused. Wasn't this beef noodles meant for Liao Jiayan? How did it end up in the director's hands?
Ting Jiu's strong desire to survive made him quickly explain: "Sister Liao, this is none of my business."
He wanted to deliver noodles to Liao Jiayan, but what could he do if she didn't want to eat it? This can't be considered as a failure on his part.
Perhaps sensing the awkward atmosphere, the director finished his mouthful of noodles and explained to Liao Jiake, "Your sister doesn't like beef noodles, so she gave it to me."
"You don't eat beef noodles?" Her gaze fell on Liao Jiayan, and a smile formed at the corners of her stiff mouth: "When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?"
Liao Jiayan didn't look at her directly, and responded coldly: "There are so many things you don't know."
"..." Liao Jiayan's words made her at a loss for what to say for a moment.
She felt that Liao Jiayan was angry with her and that not liking beef noodles was just an excuse.
But when Liao Jiayan said it, it made people feel that she was an incompetent sister, and she didn't even know what her sister liked to eat and what she didn't like to eat.
Liao Jiake thought about it for a moment, and her voice softened: "Then what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
"I told you before that I don't want to eat. Why are you asking again? Aren't you annoying?"
In front of all the guests, Liao Jiayan directly released her inner frustration.
When she was furious, she really couldn't care less.
Ting Jiu was sitting next to Liao Jiayan and was really scared. He could clearly feel that she was really angry.
He mustered up the courage to say to Liao Jiayan, "Sister, calm down."
Although Tingjiu didn't know what happened, he stood on Liao Jiayan's side from the moment she said she didn't like beef noodles.
"Xiao Jiujiu, why don't you just run away? It's terrifying when two women start arguing."
[I was actually touched by Tingjiu's words "Sister, calm down"]
[Isn't it just because I bought something I don't like? Is it necessary to get so angry? ]
[The sisters in front are more than just this beef noodle dish. The atmosphere of their previous recording was not right.]
When the director noticed that the tone of their conversation had changed, he put down the unfinished beef noodles in his hand and walked over with confusion.
"What's wrong?" asked the director.
No one spoke, just watching the show.
Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen were standing in a relatively remote location, and their live broadcast cameras were still focused on Tingjiu.
The two were somewhat shocked when they saw such a scene as soon as they came back.
Lu Jinsen said in disbelief, "They can even quarrel..."
"What's impossible about this?" Meng Chuyuan looked disillusioned with the world and didn't find it strange at all.
