Chapter 58 Jealousy
Su Jiaojiao shook her head, looked at Song Jiaqi, and frowned as she said:
"Miss Song, this is the one we found first."
"Who saw it?" Song Jiaqi asked, her neck stiff.
"I saw this insulated box just now, you stole it from me!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Su Jiaojiao said angrily.
The two were arguing and the director and judges came over.
Upon seeing the director, Song Jiaqi immediately burst into tears, feeling wronged.
"Director, Su Jiaojiao stole my things!"
Chen Yu also chimed in from the side:
"Yes, director, we just saw this insulated box."
Su Jiaojiao grabbed it first.
Zhou Li and Wang Hao frowned, just about to speak up for Su Jiaojiao.
Then Jiang Yi spoke with a cold laugh:
"Miss Song, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
He took out his phone, opened a video, and handed it to the director:
"Look, this is the video I just took. It clearly records the process of finding the insulated box. Moreover, our clue card clearly indicates that the food is under the coconut tree. Ms. Song, what does your clue card say?"
Song Jiaqi's face turned deathly pale instantly; she hadn't expected Jiang Yi to film a video.
After watching the video, the director's face darkened.
"Song Jiaqi, Chen Yu, you've gone too far! You actually lied and framed the guest!"
Song Jiaqi tried to argue, "Director, I..."
"Enough!" the director interrupted her.
"According to the rules, your group's score is invalid!"
Su Jiaojiao and Jiang Yi's team won, unlocking a seafood feast!
Song Jiaqi collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
The viewers in the live stream cheered.
[Well done! President Jiang is so clever! He even filmed it!]
[Song Jiaqi and Chen Yu are disgusting! They actually lied and framed Jiaojiao!]
[Support the director! This kind of person should have their score canceled!]
【Jiaojiao, don't be afraid! We'll always be on your side!】
[President Jiang is so protective of Jiaojiao! This is so sweet!]
Su Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Yi, her heart filled with gratitude. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang Yi."
Jiang Yi froze, his cheeks flushing instantly. He touched the spot she had kissed, his blue eyes full of amusement.
"You're welcome. Protecting you is my responsibility."
This scene was clearly captured by the cameras in the live stream.
Instantly, the number of viewers in the live stream exceeded 20 million.
The screen was practically bursting with gifts.
In different places
The three men's faces turned extremely ugly.
Seeing this, everyone present was consumed by jealousy and seethed with hatred.
Lin Xingche angrily threw his phone to the ground, his eyes red with tears.
"Sister! How could you kiss him!"
Lu Jinyuan's purple eyes were bloodshot. He slammed his fist on the table, instantly cracking it open.
…
After the recording ended, Su Jiaojiao and Jiang Yi enjoyed a seafood feast together. Fresh lobsters, plump crabs, and sweet scallops were mouthwatering. Su Jiaojiao ate with great relish, and when she had a little sauce on her lips, Jiang Yi looked at her and couldn't help but reach out to wipe it away for her.
"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you," he said gently.
Su Jiaojiao looked up at him and smiled, her eyes sparkling.
…
The camera in the distance continued its silent operation, precisely capturing the subtle, unspoken understanding between the two.
Su Jiaojiao was completely unaware of this. She was adjusting her skirt, preparing for the next game segment, when Jiang Yi stood beside her, casually brushing a fallen leaf from her shoulder. His fingertips brushed against her collarbone, carrying a barely perceptible heat.
"Be careful on the next water obstacle course."
His voice was very low, and only the two of them could hear it.
"I just checked the props, and several anti-slip mats are loose."
Su Jiaojiao looked up at him, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, then she smiled and nodded:
"Okay, thank you, Brother Jiang Yi."
Jiang Yi curled his lips slightly, saying nothing more, but the tenderness and possessiveness hidden in his deep eyes almost overflowed.
This scene, witnessed by Song Jiaqi who was not far away, was like a poisonous thorn.
It pierced her heart deeply.
Her fingers, gripping the hem of her dress tightly, turned white from the force, her nails almost digging into her flesh, causing a sharp, stinging pain. But this pain was nothing compared to the surging jealousy and resentment in her heart.
On what grounds?
Why is it that Su Jiaojiao can so easily gain everyone's attention and favor?
Song Jiaqi stared intently at Su Jiaojiao's retreating figure. Her once lively eyes were now filled only with an intense, unyielding resentment.
She recalled how spirited and ambitious she was when she first joined the crew.
Coming from a distinguished family and possessing striking good looks, she was surrounded by a group of people who fawned over her. She believed she would be the female lead of this variety show, the object of everyone's admiration.
But Su Jiaojiao's appearance was like a ray of light.
It instantly overshadowed all her brilliance.
Jiang Yi's gaze towards her had never been so tender before.
On what grounds?
Song Jiaqi gritted her teeth, grinding them together, and the redness in her eyes gradually spread. What was so good about Su Jiaojiao? Was it just a bit of luck and a bit of pretense that made so many outstanding men fawn over her?
And what about myself? I try to please everyone.
But he couldn't even get a proper look from Jiang Yi.
The tendrils of jealousy grew wildly in Song Jiaqi's heart, coiling around her and suffocating her.
She was unwilling to accept it, truly unwilling!
Why should Su Jiaojiao have everything, while she can only be a background figure, watching Su Jiaojiao enjoy endless glory?
A wicked thought quietly sprouted in Song Jiaqi's mind.
She wants to destroy Su Jiaojiao.
Yes, destroy her.
Once Su Jiaojiao is ruined and becomes filthy, Jiang Yi and the others will no longer like her, right? Then, Su Jiaojiao will fall from grace, becoming a piece of trash despised by everyone. And I can take her place, becoming the one everyone adores.
Once this thought pops into your head, it grows like wildfire.
It can no longer be contained
