Lin Yimeng looked shocked: "An'an, how did you know!"
Shen Jiajia also looked surprised: "What? An'an guessed it right?"
Gu Shichuan blinked curiously: "An'an, did you hide in someone's car?"
Gu Tingyan slapped Gu Shichuan on the back of the head: "You brat, use your brain when you speak!"
Shen Yi laughed and said, "It must be our powerful Lu Banxian who has put in his strength, right?"
Lu An'an blushed slightly under the spotlight. She coughed lightly and said, "No, I guessed. Didn't you all notice that he made no attempt to hide his foolish rich kid nature today?"
As everyone slowly recalled the image of Zhao Junyi when they first met him, and compared it to his current appearance, they all nodded in agreement.
Gu Shichuan gently stroked his chin: "I must say, it has that flavor."
Lu Yanli sat cross-legged, his hand supporting his chin, watching the children gossiping amongst themselves with a smile. He teased, "Hey, why are you all talking about other people behind their backs?"
Lu An'an rolled her eyes. "So what? Can't we be the village intelligence team?"
Chen Mohan glanced at the group of people chatting and laughing together, a shadow of displeasure flashing across his eyes. Then, in his usual gentle voice, he spoke up: "Yanli, why didn't Yixuan and his sister participate in this episode? I remember you and An'an are siblings with them, right?"
The air fell silent the moment those words were spoken.
The comments section went blank for a moment, then started scrolling wildly.
[Oh yeah, that reminds me! Why didn't they come? And why was the last episode canceled halfway through? The production team didn't explain.]
[I have a guess, could it be that Lu Yixuan and Lu Rongyu... are... dead?]
[Hmm? Your guess upstairs is pretty alarming. Why do you say that?]
[My hometown isn't far from Yunling Village. My grandma said they heard that the ancestral hall in Yunling Village had caught fire and collapsed a few days ago, and it happened to be the days when the TV crew was filming.]
[!! No way?!]
Director Xu was sweating profusely as he watched the increasingly outrageous comments on the screen. He glared at Chen Mohan and muttered under his breath, "This idiot is always causing me trouble."
He then took a deep breath, picked up the megaphone, and explained, "Ahem, the absence of Lu Yixuan and Lu Rongyu is indeed due to some special circumstances that are difficult to explain. We will give everyone a satisfactory explanation later."
Zhao Junyi looked at Lu An'an and sneered: "What special reason is there? It's just a trick that the Lu family can't tolerate Rongyu and her brother."
Lu Yanli's gaze suddenly froze: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Seeing this, Junyi was not afraid at all. Instead, a playful smile appeared on his lips as his gaze shifted between Lu Yanli and Lu An'an, who also had an unfriendly expression: "Did I say something wrong? Rongyu is still in the hospital, isn't she?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanli's expression grew even colder: "Didn't you get enough of that shit this afternoon?"
Zhao Junyi's face instantly darkened. He stood up abruptly, pointed his finger directly at Lu Yanli, and roared with fury, "What the hell are you saying?!"
Lu An'an picked up the chopsticks on the table and threw them at Zhao Junyi's hand, her tone icy: "If you don't want your fingers, I can chop them off for you."
She stared silently at the scene of Lu Yanli and Zhao Junyi arguing, and the plot of the story in her mind became clearer at this moment.
[Zhao Junyi actually made a comeback and became the male lead!]
Lu Yanli originally wanted to continue cursing Zhao Junyi, but as the echo of this thought lingered, his expression faltered slightly, and a look of disbelief swept across his brow.
What? They really added a new male lead just to fill in the plot holes?
Lu An'an pursed her lips tightly, her gaze deep.
[In the original novel, this part of the plot occurs after my parents and I all died overseas. By then, my brothers were already suspecting that Lu Rongyu and the male lead were behind it all. My second brother approached Lu Rongyu and, in an attempt to extract information, took her to the sea and cooked her like tripe several times. Lu Rongyu was then rescued by the male lead, who arrived at the scene, and subsequently fell ill and was hospitalized.]
Lu Yanli's lips twitched slightly. "So this is how you cook tripe, dipping it up and down seven or eight times?"
[At the start of the third episode, the male lead, harboring resentment, constantly opposed my second brother. He even exposed my second brother's disgraceful act of torturing Lu Rongyu live on air. In a moment of impulsiveness, my second brother got into a fight with the male lead on the show, resulting in him being labeled a bad celebrity and forced to leave the program.]
Lu An'an glanced sideways, her gaze carrying a hint of barely perceptible worry, and landed on Lu Yanli's face.
If this plot is resolved, will that nobleman soon make his appearance?
A determined glint flashed in her eyes.
I will definitely protect my second brother.
Lu Yanli felt a warmth in his heart, then his eyes narrowed slightly and the corners of his mouth curled up.
So the nobles are going to take the stage? That's perfect, he'd like to see whether the nobles are the perverts or he is.
Zhao Junyi clenched his throbbing hand tightly and looked up at Lu An'an and Lu Yanli with resentment.
"You'll regret this!"
Director Xu, sitting in the studio, looked at the scene before him in a state of panic: "What should we do? What should we do? The police station hasn't issued any notice, and I don't dare to say directly that they've been arrested!"
Just as he was pacing anxiously, the assistant director handed him his phone: "Director Xu, the police and the Lu family have both issued statements on Weibo."
Director Xu took the phone, browsed through it carefully, and finally felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. Just as he was about to offer a word of praise, he met the assistant director's fierce gaze and snorted coldly, "What are you looking at! This is what you should do! Hurry up and turn on the big screen and project the statement!"
The assistant director pursed his lips, muttered something, and left.
