As soon as Su Ying finished speaking, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room of the seven guests instantly became strange.
[What the heck? What kind of question is Su Ying asking? Is this even a question she should be asking?]
[Seriously, does Su Ying even have a brain? Even if she dislikes Zhu Jinzhao, she shouldn't ask such a question!]
【What are you doing? We may be newcomers with few fans, but we can't let her bully us like this, can we?】
[Who bullied her? These are questions asked by Zhu Mingyue's fans, okay? Besides, Yingbao must have gotten Zhu Mingyue's permission to ask this question. Why are you all throwing around accusations?]
[What are you guys doing? We're just playing a game and doing quests, why can't you play? If you can't play, just quit! Why are you stubbornly staying here?]
What did my Yingying do wrong? She didn't even come up with the problem. If you want to criticize someone, go criticize the person who asked the question. Why are you bullying Yingying?
The question Su Ying asked was very sensitive. Before Zhu Jinzhao could even answer, the hashtag #SuYingDeliberatelyMakesHardForZhuJinzhaoWhenDoingTasks# was trending on Weibo by viewers in the live stream.
Su Ying is a top-tier female celebrity, so once she trends on social media, her popularity is bound to be high. In less than two minutes, hundreds of thousands of comments quickly appeared on the trending topics page.
The comments section was filled with both praise and criticism, with two opposing groups of netizens arguing fiercely.
[Su Ying's reputation for being sarcastic in private has been circulating for a while now. What's gotten into her? Has she given up on pretending?]
[Imagine Zhu Jinzhao in my shoes—it must be truly suffocating. She's only been in the industry for two days and already has this kind of deadly colleague.]
Why is everyone criticizing Su Ying? Am I the only one who thinks this question is appropriate? Everyone in the entertainment industry knows that Zhu Jinzhao is a fake heiress, so this topic doesn't seem that sensitive...
[This topic isn't sensitive at all. These two heiresses, one real and one fake, going on a variety show together is just a publicity stunt, isn't it? Why can they create buzz themselves but others can't ask questions? Besides, it wasn't Su Ying who asked the question.]
[For those who watched the entire live stream, please speak up and be fair. Su Ying's question was definitely influenced by personal emotions, because her viewers actually suggested many easy interactive tasks, but she either didn't see them or something, she just didn't choose any.]
"Do you think it's appropriate for you to ask this question?" Shi Jing's roguish smile had completely vanished, and his expression towards Su Ying was now cold and indifferent.
Su Ying was a little scared, but only a little, because she felt that she hadn't done anything wrong.
"Huh? Is it inappropriate?" She pretended to be clueless, blinking at Shi Jing in confusion. "The interaction requirements in my live stream are too difficult. I even copied these questions from Mingyue's fans."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Zhu Jinzhao: "Jinzhao, can't I ask this question?"
"..." Zhu Jinzhao looked at her expressionlessly, without saying a word.
She thought for a moment, and her blank look gradually turned into regret: "Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I thought this kind of question wasn't so sensitive because I saw that you and Mingyue had such a good relationship and even appeared on a variety show together."
"Sorry, let me move on to the next question."
"No need to change." Zhu Mingyue walked slowly to Zhu Jinzhao's side with her arms crossed. "I'm Jinzhao's older sister, so I should be able to answer your question, right?"
"...Huh?" Zhu Jinzhao was dumbfounded.
She tilted her head and looked at Zhu Mingyue, her eyes filled with shock: "We're clearly the same age, when did you become my older sister?"
"..." Zhu Mingyue glanced at her speechlessly, "Just now."
Zhu Jinzhao: "...Why didn't anyone notify me?"
Zhu Mingyue: "Haven't you been notified yet?"
"Ah..." Zhu Jinzhao nodded slowly, "So why are you the older sister? We're the same age, I could be the older sister too."
Zhu Mingyue: "..."
Unable to bear Zhu Jinzhao's idiotic behavior any longer, she simply pushed her into Shi Jing's arms: "Watch her, don't let her talk nonsense."
Shi Jing put his arm around Zhu Jinzhao's shoulder and readily agreed: "Okay."
“Sister Su Ying.” Zhu Mingyue stepped forward, smiling as she repeated her question, “As Jinzhao’s older sister, can I answer this question on her behalf?”
Su Ying's smile stiffened slightly, but her reaction remained relatively composed.
"Okay." She turned her phone back on and looked at the question in the notes. "Then let Mingyue answer it."
Zhu Mingyue raised an eyebrow: "Go on."
Su Ying: "First question, now that the misunderstanding about her background has been cleared up, why didn't she return to her biological parents' side today?"
Zhu Mingyue: "Because I didn't want her to go back. If she went back, I would be the only girl left at home, which would be so boring. So I shamelessly begged Jinzhao to stay."
"Oh, I see." Su Ying nodded, feigning understanding, and then asked the second and third questions.
Zhu Mingyue answered each question perfectly, leaving no room for criticism.
[Holy crap! I'm totally blown away! I'm absolutely blown away! Mingyue is just too amazing!]
[Waaaaah, I admit I was wrong, because I was guessing until just now that Mingyue and Jinzhao didn't get along!]
Thank you, Mingyue, for saving Chaochao! From now on, you're Chaochao's older sisters!
[Hahaha, I knew the moon really liked today! "The moon is bright today" must be true!]
Su Ying's carefully selected difficult questions all failed due to Zhu Mingyue's sudden intervention. Zhu Jinzhao was not only not made uncomfortable by her, but also gained a wave of sympathetic fans because of her questions.
As for her, she didn't gain anything and only got scolded for nothing.
Although she couldn't see what netizens were saying, based on her years of experience being attacked online, she guessed that these netizens probably couldn't say anything nice.
However, she didn't care much. Anyway, she had been criticized for a long time, and once the hype died down, no one would remember it.
"Thank you, Jinzhao, thank you, Mingyue. I've completed my mission for tonight." She happily patted Zhu Jinzhao's arm, grabbed her phone, and left.
Shi Jing stared coldly at her back, his fierceness in his eyes undisguised.
"Today." Li Weiwan had finished her own task and only then had time to come and see Zhu Jinzhao.
"Are you alright?" he asked tactfully.
Zhu Jinzhao smiled obediently at him: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Brother Li."
Li Weiwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you're alright."
At 11 p.m., all seven guests had completed their live-streaming tasks.
The group of people took their belongings and went upstairs chatting and laughing.
"Su Ying." Taking advantage of the fact that the live broadcast camera wasn't filming, Shi Jing quickly tugged at Su Ying, then took a big step forward and forced his way behind her.
Before Su Ying could react to what he was about to do, she heard him say in a very low and deep voice:
"You're not going to take my word for it. Well then, I'll grant your wish."
"You like to play around, huh? I'll make you play yourself to death."
