《The Female Lead Has No Cheats》
Chapter 1 - Too Many Side Leads with Cheats (1)
Ch.1 Too Many Side Leads with Cheats(1)
Bang.
Lin Yueqi was harshly pushed and her waist knocked against the tabletop of the sink while the back of her head hit the mirror. It might be because the quality of the mirror wasnt good, but it smashed into pieces and scattered over her head like raindrops.
She felt something cool on her face and she reached up to touch blood. As she became unconscious, Qin Xues gorgeous face shed through her mind.
By the time she woke up, she was in the ambnce.
Lin Yueqis head was wrapped in gauze and only her eyes werent covered. Sheid on the stretcher in an ambnce where two nurses, a doctor, and an aunty wearing ordinary clothes sat beside her.
She didnt know what was going on around her. Just as she was about to sit up, the aunty screamed at her, Ling Yueqi, do you never listen to my words? How many times have I told you not to provoke Qin Xue and not be too close with her? Dont meet her alone! Howe you just wont fricking listen to me? Now, look at you. Who knows if youll be disfigured now. She, the culprit behind this, still dares to act innocent. Damn. Im so pissed. If I had a choice, I definitely wouldnt choose to be your manager in the past!
As Lin Yueqi was chewed out by the aunty, she subconsciously wiped the spit from her face. But the touch wasnt pleasant as her face was covered in gauze!
Umaunty
Lin Yueqi had no idea what happened and she seemed to be absent-minded. Under the contrast of the white gauze, her ck eyes seemed darker, but it was bright like the stars.
She nced with her beautiful eyes and asked genuinely, What happened?
Lin Yueqi only recalled practicing for the college entrance exam uing in two weeks. There were a bunch of practice exams that she hadnt done nor did she memorize the English phrases She just took a nap and shended herself in an ambnce?!
Lin Yueqi! What did you call me?! Do you have the guys to repeat that?!
Mistake, it was my mistake.Little sister Lin Yueqi pped her forehead and she immediately became smart.
At the same time, the nurse coldly reminded, Miss Lin, we just stopped the bleeding on your forehead. Best if you take it easy.
Lin Yueqi was speechless.The blood on her forehead?
Uh it did hurt a bit.
Her manager, Wen Mei, threw her a phone and said unhappily, Look at it yourself.
Lin Yueqi picked up the phone and saw that a verified user on Weibo by the name of Qin Xue made a post.
Qin Xue V: I just came out of the police station and they got my oral confession. I am feeling conflicted right now. If I was able to pull Qiqi, she wouldnt have fallen and hit the mirror. Then, she wouldnt havesigh.
Comments below:
What happened?
Xiaoxiao made a post and this is basically the summary: A-Xue got the heroine role in Shadow Sword, but Lin Yueqi was displeased about it. They coincidentally met at the banquet today and in the bathroom, Lin Yueqi had insulted A-Xue; the words were vulgar and unbearable to hear. A-Xue didnt n on arguing with her and she prepared to leave when Lin Yueqi was too emotional and didnt watch her feet, spraining her ankle and knocking into the mirror. The mirror shattered and the shards fell on her face. Xiaoxiao was in the next room and witnessed everything.
Lin Yueqi brought this upon herself! She deserved it! Goddess, how are you? I feel bad for my Goddess!
Hugs A-Xue. Are you ok?
My A-Xue is a beautiful and gorgeous woman. She shouldve pped Lin Yueqi!
Person above, dont say that! Judge the matter as it stands! If A-Xue makes a move, she would be responsible for Lin Yueqis injuries! However, with A-Xues beautiful appearance, it would indeed bring her a lot of trouble.Sigh. I wish our A-Xue was only an ordinary person. That way, Lin Yueqi wouldnt be jealous of her and this wouldnt have happened
Lin Yueqi went to Qin Xues Weibo home page only to see her biography saying: Actress. Representative work includes: JueandPainted Bone. Over 100 millions of fans. Less than 50 followed.
After ncing at thements, Lin Yueqi felt that these were brainless fans. She was embarrassed to see titles like the most beautiful woman and such. Upon casually opening a Weibo video, she was stunned when she saw Qin Xues appearance.
That woman had a delicate face the size of a palm which many women desired. She had smooth white skin that wasnt filtered in the slightest bit and it was genuinely clear and fair. Her hair waszily scattered on her left shoulder and she had vixen-like eyes, charming and enchanting.
As a mediocre student who only retained memories up to her senior year, Lin Yueqi couldnt find a suitable phrase to describe Qin Xue.
Gorgeously beautiful?It was too inelegant. Therefore, she had been saying damn, damn in order to express her feelings of seeing such a beautiful woman.
Lin Yueqi was quite beautiful as well. Since elementary school, she held the title of school beauty. However,pared to this woman, she felt much more inferior.
She cupped her phone and smacked her lips, saying, Damn. Whos this stunning woman? I cant even be jealous of this beauty. I want to marry her!
Chapter 2 - Too Many Side Leads with Cheats (2)
Ch.2 Too Many Side Leads with Cheats(2)
She cupped her phone and smacked her lips, saying, Damn. Whos this stunning woman? I cant even be jealous of this beauty. I want to marry her!
Manager Wen Mei nced at her as if looking at a retard, and asked, Lin Yueqi, are you ok?
Then, she heard Lin Yueqi said, F*ck. While I was nervously preparing for the college entrance exam, I cant believe I missed the presence of such a beautiful actress within the entertainment industry my desire to be an actress has grown stronger! I want to be closer to this beautiful little sister!
Wen Mei was speechless.Shes crazy for sure.
The ambnce arrived at the hospital and the doctor treated Lin Yueqis wound.
After returning to the ward, the doctor in charge carefully exined her conditions, Miss Lins hippocampus has been stirred because of this injury and it had triggered an intense reaction, directly cutting off her memory after 17 years old. That means that whether it be her mental state or her memory, she is just a 17-year-old high school student. Plus, the injuries on her face were too serious and even if it healed, it will still leave a scar. She might need stic surgery.
Wen Mei asked seriously, That serious? About how long before she can make a full recovery?
The doctor answered honestly, She probably cant go outside or film within the four months. You guys need to be mentally prepared.
Wen Mei shrieked emotionally, How can that be?! She still has a bunch of contracts! She also needs to enter the set in a few days, so she must recover quickly! Doctor, pleasee up with a solution for us, ok?
The doctor shook her head and said, I really cant. Im a doctor, not an immortal.
When the doctor left the ward, Wen Mei nced at Lin Yueqi who was still frantically scrolling through Qin Xues Weibo, resentfully saying, WTF. Youre really pissing me off. Why dont you go die?
The manager called for her assistant and angrily left.
When the assistant, Xiao Ke, heard that Lin Yueqi was going to be disfigured, her heart trembled. Once she saw Lin Yueqi wrapped up like glutinous rice, she cried out of fear.
While ying on her phone, Lin Yueqi gazed up at her and said, What are you crying for? I havent died yet.
Xiao Ke raised her hand and wiped her tears, sobbing, Sister Qi, you might as well be dead.
From the assistant, Lin Yueqi had a general understanding of what happened in the recent years.
She became a big hit and debuted when she was 23 and for the next three years, she maintained the poprity. But this year, Qin Xue with the title the most beautiful woman of China appeared out of the blue.
It was very normal for neers to appear in the entertainment circle, but what was unusual was that Qin Xue frequently showed up by Lin Yueqis side.
Within half a year of Qin Xues debut, she stole the two heroine roles from Lin Yueqi.
In the beginning, Lin Yueqis fans bad mouthed and ruined Qin Xues reputation constantly. But in less than two months, Lin Yueqis fans gradually became Qin Xues fans.
Half a month ago, Qin Xue went to take part in a reality show in the countryside and she casually interacted with a delicate and cute countryside girl, resulting in the four year old young girl bing a big hit overnight.
Quickly, the media scooped information on the delicate and cute little girl and found out she was actually Lin Yueqis illegitimate daughter!
Undoubtedly, this was like a bomb in the entertainment industry and people on the Inte were all swayed by this information. Lin Yueqis pure and innocent personapletely copsed and for the first time since she debuted, she tasted the feeling of being med and disdained upon by people.
Lin Yueqis career was in disarray, but during this crucial point, not only did she lose her memory, but she also disfigured her face. It clearly ced her in a worse situation.
Her manager, Wen Mei, already decided to give her resources over to other actresses and Lin Yueqis acting career officially went downhill, unable to be remedied.
From other peoples perspectives, Lin Yueqi did lose her memory. But she believed that she was in the body of a 25 years old with the memory of a 17 years old.
Lin Yueqi wouldve never thought that she would actually be an actress when she was 25. She had millions of Weibo fans and although anti-fans werementing below her Weibo, she was still content.
Before the ident that caused her memory to return to when she was 17 years old, Lin Yueqi was someone who was sensitive and full of negative energy. Surprisingly in this present time, she had taken her current dilemma quite well. Right now, she believed that as long as she was popr, that was good enough.
Even if she wasnt praised, she was still popr.
Once the assistant told her that because of her disfigured face and the illegitimate daughter scandal, she had topensate arge sum of money, her smile froze on her face.
She nced at the crying assistant and asked, Little sister, can I ask you how much money I need topensate?
20 million.
Lin Yueqi felt blood rushing to her head and she almost fainted.
Under the assistants help, Lin Yueqi went to check the bnce in her bank ount and realized that she actually had 25 million in cash! After paying for thepensation, she still had 5 million left!
Damn. Im so rich!Lin Yueqi clutched her chest and it took a while before she processed the fact that she had be rich overnight.
Chapter 3 - Too Many Side Leads with Cheats (3)
Ch.3 Too Many Side Leads with Cheats(3)
Hospital.
After finding out she still had 5 million left, Lin Yueqi happily crawled back into bed.
She gazed at the assistant crying by her head and ended upforting her, saying, Little sister, you dont need to cry. Im pretty good right now. Im rich and famous. Although my face is temporarily disfigured, it isnt hard to treat the scar with how advanced medicine is right now, right? Oh right. Tell me about my illegitimate daughter. Whos her father?
The assistant nced at the positive Lin Yueqi who was curled up under the soft nket. At this scene, she felt conflicted.
The assistant rubbed her red and swollen eyes and answered, Bun is four years old now and you had secretly given birth to her while you were in college. However, you never told us who Buns father was. Sister Yue, if it werent for Qin Xue, you wouldnt have be like this today. Sister Yue, what should we do now? Lately, Sister Wen has been very angry with you and she had given her resources to the neers.
Lin Yueqi smacked her lips and clicked her tongue. She never thought she herself would be brazen enough to give birth to a child while still in college.
Lin Yueqi tugged her nkets up and covered her mouth as she yawned. Shezily said, Lets talk tomorrow. Im very tired and I need to sleep.
The assistant pursed her lips, wanting to say something else, but said ok in the end. She turned off the lights for Lin Yueqi and left the room.
*
That night, Lin Yueqi had a dream.
She dreamed of being the heroine of a melodramatic romance novel. She had extraordinary beauty and slept with the school prince, Lu Ting, in college. Then, she became pregnant. When she found out, Lu Ting had gone abroad for his studies and there were no news of him.
Four yearster, while her career was spiraling downwards, Lu Ting returned. However, he didnt have a simple identity. He was the top millionaire, Lu Shengguos son, and the only heir to Qiancheng Group.
When Lu Ting found out Lin Yueqi had given birth to his child, he immediately married her.
Because she had a powerful husband as her backer, Lin Yueqis career slowly returned to its normal state.
However, she didnt know that Qin Xue, whose mind was set on defeating her, wasnt an ordinary person. She had a beauty filter system which could make her endlessly beautiful.
As the male lead, not only was Lu Ting extremely wealthy and handsome, he wasnt easily seduced by beautiful women. He was very loyal to his family. In front of a man like him, Qin Xues tricks were useless.
But in this world, Qin Xue wasnt the only female side lead with cheats.
Besides Qin Xue, there were other female side leads who gradually appeared.
Female side lead #1: Beauty filter system.
Female side lead #2: The transmigrated viins mother.
Female side lead #3: Has the culinary system in which the top millionaire, film emperor, and the head of the country desired.
Lin Yueqis life was made into a mess by these traitorous and sinister female side leads. She, who once had an originally beautiful personality, became sensitive and overly suspicious because of the presence of these female side leads who set up traps and schemes.
In the beginning, she was suspicious of her husband cheating on her.
After that, because of the female side leads schemes, she wasnt in the right state of mind. Even more, because she couldnt control her emotions many times, she abused her adorable daughter slowly, the familys love for her faded.
Later on, her husband wanted to divorce her and her daughter called her a bad woman.
Finally, Lin Yueqis heroine halo was snatched away and she died of excess of anger after going insane.
In this dream, a voice told her that because she was the heroine of the world, she had the chance for rebirth.
As long as shepletely defeated a female side lead, she could obtain their goldfinger.
It sounded beautiful, but Lin Yueqi couldnt help but swear in her dreams.
When Lin Yueqi woke up, it was already the next morning.
She suddenly sat up and she was drenched in sweat. She stared at the TV across from her nkly before snapping out of her daze after a while.
Although it was a dream, it felt really realistic. She believed in her three yearster ending as portrayed in her dream.
In her world, each female side lead was more powerful than the previous one. She, an ordinary and amnesiac person without a goldfinger, was basically seeking death by trying to win against the female side leads!
(T/N: goldfingerC a cheat like the beauty filter system or culinary system)
Even if she had the mind of a 17 years old, she knew very well that she inparison to the female side leads, was like a piece of bronze against gold.
She rubbed her chest stiffly and swore, WTF is this game? MMP. Im not ying!
*
At the same time, in a superior celebrity van.
Qin Xue sat in front of the makeup mirror and she was restoring the crude blemishes on her face. She had charming eyes and touching red plump lips.
While she was restoring her skin, she heard Beauty Filtersystems notification, You dont have enough beauty energy. If you want to continue to possess the ability to be beautiful, please recharge this with the heroine, Lin Yueqis negative energy.
Once the notification ended, Qin Xues long, shapely eyebrows immediately scrunched up.
Whats the matter? Wasnt Lin Yueqi disfigured? Her negative energy should be building up, but why did it suddenly disappear?
Chapter 4 - Abandon Heroine’s Status and Become an Insignificant Cannon Fodder (1)
Ch.4 Abandon Heroines Status and Be an Insignificant Cannon Fodder(1)
The moment the voice disappeared, Qin Xue noticed that the beauty skin and skinny face functions strengths had decreased from a 6 to a 5 within the system, and the storage energy was slowly vanishing.
If the negative energy in her storagepletely diminished, then all the functions within the Beauty Filtersystem would be locked as if it was just a disy.
Although this beauty system was powerful, it required energy at the same time. The energy refers to the heroine, Lin Yueqis negative energy.
The negative energy in which Lin Yueqi produces is equivalent to the Beauty Filtersystems battery.
This Beauty Filtersystem was like the filter camera engraved in Qin Xues body. It helped her be beautiful at any time and can even cleanse her body.
The best part of this system was that no one would ever think that the host of the system had stic surgery before.
Although Lin Yueqi was an orphan, she had a paternal aunt who adored her. Because she had a sweet and adorable appearance, she lived a peaceful life, without any trouble. She had a lively and naive personality, and she had no negative energy.
In order to obtain her negative energy, Qin Xue had done everything she could.
The stronger Lin Yueqis negative energy was, the more powerful her Beauty Filtersystems functions were.
This time, she carried out a n to disfigure Lin Yueqis face and gain the upper hand with the publics opinions online so that Lin Yueqis career could be in ruins. With such a disaster, Lin Yueqi will surely produce endless negative energy which will help to beautify Qin Xue even more.
But she never thought that Lin Yueqis negative energy would suddenly disappear.
She unlocked the level 6 beauty skin and skinny face functions after much effort, but now it went back to level 5.
Qin Xue wasnt in the mood to put makeup on anymore and she picked up her phone to scroll through Weibo.
The Inte was full of users supporting her while in contrast, Lin Yueqis Weibo was littered with unbearably negativements. At this time, the fallen actress should have received Maices bosss message by now.
Lin Yueqi needs topensate 20 million and thepany refuses to pay for her, so she has to pay for herself.
To Lin Yueqi, this would definitely be like pouring salt on her wounds.
All of the above were all effective weapons in order to trigger the negative energy inside Lin Yueqi. Qin Xue didnt understand why that womans negative energy was disappearing, however.
In Beauty Filtersystem, there was an instation simr to the function of a battery. Although some of Lin Yueqis negative energy was stored there, it wouldntst long, and it would deplete in the end.
One could imagine Qin Xues situation if Lin Yueqi didnt have negative energy in the future anymore.
*
During the two weeks of hospitalization, besides eating and sleeping, Lin Yueqi was binge watching korean dramas and American TV series.
The dramas that she didnt finish eight years ago were all released and finished now. There were several dramas with sequels. She now truthfully experienced the benefits of transmigrating into the future, so she was in pure joy.
Plus, she just came out from the fear that apanied the college entrance exam. The moment she recalled that she didnt need to face the exam or do practice questions anymore, everything became tasty to her and even staring into space whileying down was a form of enjoyment to her.
At the same time, she was also worried that she might suddenly transmigrate back to her time in high school, so she had her assistant find a copy of the college entrance exam from eight years ago.
Besides eating and ying to her content, her daily routine consists of working on practice problems.
With the above, she lived a very substantial life, so why would she bother emitting negative energy?
Through the dream, she obtained some information on her tragic ending, but she lost her memory, so she couldnt rte to this. Instead, she treated it as a movie about someone elses experiences. In her dream, she knew that she was about to face all sorts of sinister female side leads and this gave her a headache.
As a mediocre student in senior year, she knew herself very well. She didnt think someone as adorable as her could be a match against these female side leads skillful in scheming and setting traps.
Chapter 5 - Abandon Heroine’s Status and Become an Insignificant Cannon Fodder (2)
Ch.5 Abandon Heroines Status and Be an Insignificant Cannon Fodder(2)
In order to avoid her pitiful life in the future, she decided to give up her male lead husband and her daughter, retreating to be an insignificant and happy cannon fodder.
In the beginning, she wanted to be a celebrity, so she could earn money and improve her paternal aunts life. Now that she was wealthy and had much more than she expected, why wouldnt she be satisfied?
From her assistant, she found out that she had two estates in her native country town. In this huge city, she had six estates and three were vis. She had two more estates near Moro kings temporary imperial residence which were considerably pricy.
Besides that, she had a few luxurious cars under her name as well as the 5 million cash. Even if she didnt work in her afterlife, she and her paternal aunt could live blissfully just by collecting rent.
With the above, she was extremely pleased.
The day she was discharged from the hospital, the reporters and media blocked the entrance of the hospital. The bodyguards and assistant made a path for her through the packed crowd. When she got in the car, someone ripped the mask off her and the shocking scar on her right face was exposed.
The reporters took as many snapshots as they could and then they crazily sent the manuscript off to the printer factories.
#Lin Yueqi was disfigured and will probably leave the entertainment industry#
#Lin Yueqi deserved the disfigurement of her face#
#Jealousy made her ugly? Exposing the truth of Lin Yueqis disfigurement#
In the vi, Lin Yueqis assistant, Xiao Ke, was cupping the iPad and reading the heading off the news while shaking in rage.
After she was done reading it, she gazed up at Lin Yueqi who was sitting cross-legged, wearing Pikachu pajamas with her hair in a bun and eating fried chicken. Once again feeling conflicted, the assistant spoke up, Sister Qi, you cant give up on yourself. If you keep eating junk food like this, youll gain weight. I know youre angry, but you shouldnt do this to yourself
Who said Im angry? While shoving chips in her mouth, Lin Yueqi held her phone in one hand and ordered an extra spicy takeout.
She happily said, Im happy. Ill definitely be more popr since so many mediapanies are reporting about me. The scar on my face is only temporary. Plus, medicine is so advanced today, so what more can a scar do? Its not like Ill have it forever. Im so rich right now, so do you think I cant afford the money to do stic surgery?
Perhaps being so ustomed to being poor when she was young made her care more about money more than her beauty. As long as she had money, she was happy. The scar on her face was no big deal.
Xiao Ke nced at the optimistic Lin Yueqi, unsure whether to worry or to be happy. She took out her phone and nced at a message before saying angrily, Sister Qi, this Liu Zhongde is going overboard! You had saved the show for his reality show in the past, but he wants you to be the supporting character for Qin Xue and attend his Celebrity College Entrance Exam Competitionreality show. I heard that he is paying Qin Xue 2 million per episode, but hes only giving you 800,000! Too excessive! Youre Qin Xues elder and at least an A-lister actress. Isnt he humiliating you like this?
Celebrity College Entrance Exam Competition was a celebrity-based reality show and the invited celebrities would pass each round by solving college entrance exam problems. This reality show challenges their IQ and the celebrities who havepleted the missions would usually gain fans. After all, the market was like this. Fans dont just like celebrities for their appearance, but hoped for them to have both the looks and brains.
If the tiger goes down to levelnd, hell be bullied by the dogs. Its normal, normal. Lin Yueqi shoved another chip in her mouth and while chewing, she said unclearly, At least, its 800,000!! Im very satisfied that I can earn 800,000 a year! Dont pass that for me! I must earn this 800,000!!
Chapter 6 - Abandon Heroine’s Status and Become an Insignificant Cannon Fodder (3)
Ch.6 Abandon Heroines Status and Be an Insignificant Cannon Fodder(3)
Seeing how positive Lin Yueqi was, Xiao Ke couldnt be any more angry. She said, Qin Xue was the one who got you disfigured and trapped you with the illegitimate daughter scandal. Now, your persona has copsed and the entire is swearing at you. At the heart of the struggle, all the business partners are avoiding you, but the reality show set in which Qin Xue is at suddenly offered this coboration do you know what that means? Sister Qi, only your mental state is that of a 17 years old. Its not like your IQ has decreased. Think carefully.
After Lin Yueqi learned about this reality show in detail, she smiled and said, My beautiful brain isnt just for show. I obviously know.
She threw the fried potato chip bag down and sat criss-crossed, analyzing, Qin Xue is certain that I need a chance to clear my name. The reality show will begin filming a monthter and by then, the scar on my face will definitely not be healed. The moment I agree to it, when I am on TV, under the HD camera, it will definitely portray the contrast between her and my face, making her look even more beautiful when standing next to me. By then, not only cant I clear my name, but I will be in an even worse situation.
Lin Yueqi nced at Xiao Ke in seriousness and asked, So, in Qin Xues eyes, will the future me be that stupid? Could it be that in her eyes, Im that shortsighted and eager to express myself?
Xiao Ke cut her off and said, You werent like this in the past. Ever since she appeared, you couldnt seem to make the right decisions, and so you anxiously want a chance to express yourself Sister Qi, Imforted now that you understand. Sister Qi, lets listen to thepanys arrangements and stay on the downlow for a while. When the online users pretty much forget about you and your face is healed, we cane back out of retirement.
No. Lin Yueqi said persistently, Since Miss Qin Xue had set this trap up so meticulously, I obviously need to y along.
Xiao Ke was confused and retorted, Sister Qi, you have a n?
No.
Then you
I just want her to get what she wishes. Doesnt she want me to failpletely and be in ruins? Then fine. Ill y along and let her have it.
Sister Qi, youre crazy!
No, I just dont want to be an actress anymore. Qin Xue will onlypletely let me go when she achieves her motive. Last night, I already calcted this. Once I return the little bun to her father, Ill go back home and open a supermarket in the country town. After all, Ive been a celebrity and a rich person is still better off than ordinary people. The business will definitely be good. Lin Yueqi seriously calcted this and then right after, she turned around to ask her assistant, Xiao Ke, you seem pretty loyal to me. Do you want to work with me in the future? Ill let you be my manager and you can get a monthly sry of 6,000. How does that sound?
Opening a snack counter by the school door and a supermarket in the country town were dreams second only to being a celebrity.
The corner of Xiao Kes lips twitched and she asked, Sister Qi, do you know my sry right now?
Could it be higher than what Ive proposed?
22,000.
Damn
Lin Yueqi was speechless.
An assistants sry was that high eight yearster?
Lin Yueqi agreed to filming the Celebrity College Entrance Exam Competitionreality show.
She knew that she could earn a lot of money in the entertainment industry, but if she continued on this path, she would lose herself. Therefore, she immediately abandoned the thought of staying in the entertainment industry.
She had cars and properties, and even bank savings. She didnt need to practice for the college entrance exams, so what isnt there to be pleased with?
Therefore, she agreed to take part in this reality show and let Qin Xue reach her goal of defeating her. Not only could she obtain the 2.4 million from three episodes, she also had an excuse to leave sessfully and say goodbye to the entertainment industry.
As long as she left the entertainment industry, gave her daughter back to her future husband and insisted upon not marrying Lu Ting, it was equivalent to giving up her heroine status and bing an insignificant cannon fodder.
Chapter 7 - Abandon Heroine’s Status and Become an Insignificant Cannon Fodder (4)
Ch.7 Abandon Heroines Status and Be an Insignificant Cannon Fodder(4)
Being the heroine was such a dangerous task, so shell let whoever wants the position to take it. She wanted a life where she could rx peacefully with her paternal aunt.
Because she lost her memory, even though she knew her ending from her dream, she couldnt rte to the future pitiful life. Likewise, she didnt feel anything for her so-called daughter.
In her memory, only her paternal aunt existed.
It might be a bit cold-blooded, but when thinking about epting a four year old daughter, she subconsciously rejected the idea since she only had the memory of a student in senior year.
That night, when her manager, Wen Mei, found out that Lin Yueqi was going to attend Celebrity College Entrance Exam Competition, she angrily called and swore at her.
Lin Yueqi tossed the phone to the side and allowed Wen Mei to scold the sky. Meanwhile, she didnt answer or listen to the call. Instead, she kneeled on the ground, hummed to a song and packed her suitcase.
There was a month before she needed to enter the set, so she nned to visit her paternal aunt at her native home. While she was at it, she would go and visit her rumored daughter and then bring her to find her father.

Ocean Bay. The top floor of Mante International Hotel could overlook the entire bays night view.
Qin Xue was eating along with Maices CEO Zhuang. The woman was slightly drunk from drinking and her cheeks were a cute shade of red, lovable.
The woman was irresistibly beautiful and all men would probably fall by her feet. Even Zhuang Boshan who had countless women couldnt have enough of Qin Xues beauty.
Zhuang Boshan was Maices CEO and Lin Yueqis boss.
Qin Xue crossed her hands and slightly propped her chin, saying softly, CEO Zhuang, I heard that Lin Yueqis contract is almost up. Are you nning on extending the contract with her?
Zhuang Boshan was about to answer when Qin Xue sighed and said, People within the circle all know that Lin Yueqi doesnt really like me. If I sign to be an artist under yourpany, wouldnt I have to fight with Lin Yueqi? CEO Zhuang, I
She dragged her words purposely and left space for Zhuang Boshan to continue. Her posture was elegant and delicate, but paired along with unrivaled beauty, she became adorable in this mans eyes.
Zhuang Boshan ced his hand on the back of her hand and gently patted,forting, Her contract will end in the middle of this month and Ill let my people know not to extend the contract. You can rest assured and sign mypany. Ill give you the best resources.
Qin Xue withdrew her hands and revealed a good-looking smile, saying, CEO Zhuang, thanks for taking care of me.
Zhuang Boshan knew that she was a difficult woman to pursue, so he wasnt anxious.
He knew very well in his heart that whether it be business or personal purposes, abandoning Lin Yueqi and choosing Qin Xue was the correct option. Qin Xue has room for improvement and he had a feeling that she wasnt at the peak of her career yet.
As for Lin Yueqi the peak of her career had passed and it would be very difficult to pull her back into that position. Comparing the two, Zhuang Boshan decided to abandon the rook and save the king.
While Qin Xue and Zhuang Boshan were drinking and chatting, she received a notification.
Ding. The storage energy within the Beauty Filtersystem is depleting. All the beauty filter functions in the system have decreased from level 5 to 4. Please quickly recharge!
Zhuang Boshan was just talking to her when he noticed that she froze, so he asked, A-Xue, whats the matter?
Qin Xue rxed her knitted eyebrows and smiled, saying, CEO Zhuang, since youve decided, I hope you can quickly let her know and not wait until the day the contract expires. Although I am rivals with her in terms of career, in the end, it was because of me that she couldnt continue signing with Maice. I hope you can quickly tell her, so she has time to find anotherpany.
Zhuang Boshan nodded and said, Thats fine too. Ill let Wen Mei notify her.
The author has something to say:
While I was in highschool, I really hoped that I had a sry of more than 3,000. That way, I can save up my money and open a snack counter by the school and sell spicy sticks
Chapter 8 - he Wealthy Husband and Intelligent Daughter (1)
Ch.8 The Wealthy Husband and Intelligent Daughter(1)
Lin Yueqis old home was in a town in Sichuans Qingshan. Qingshan was one of the four major Daoism mountains in China and this particr town had an extremely longsting history with its distinctive architectural style.
After she arrived at the Sichuan International Airport from the A City International Airport, it would take another 40 minutes on the power car before Lin Yueqi could arrive at the Qingshan Town.
Lin Yueqi led her assistant and carried along two heavy suitcases as she walked out of the airport. They headed towards the underground floor to catch the power car.
The two hurriedly got in and sat down in first ss seats. The powerful and strong Xiao Ke lifted the two suitcases and easily ced it on the luggage rack, which caused a certain old man wearing earbuds and carrying an iPad to stare in surprise.
It was early winter, so Xiao Ke was still wearing a short pink dress with matching pink stockings and two hair buns on her head. Because she had a petite figure and a weak looking physique, she could easily master this lolita style. Right now, she had her hands on her waist, panting, and she puffed her cheeks up as sheined, Sister Qi, I really give up. Cant we just take a private car back? Why must we take this crowded power car back home?
There were barely any people within this first ss carriage. Around them, there was only a foreign old man wearing earbuds, holding an iPad in his hands.
Itll cost 600 yuan to take a private car. Do you have any idea how much 600 means to me? Its my living expenses for a whole month! Lin Yueqi pulled Xiao Ke down to sit and held onto her arms, sighing with feelings. Xiao Ke, I didnt think youre that strong.
If I dont have some sort of abilities, how can I work for you, right? Xiao Ke took out a water bottle from the bag considerately and delivered it to Lin Yueqi, saying, Here, Sister Qi, drink some water!
Lin Yueqi took the water bottle from her and took a sip when Xiao Ke received the managers call.
The call was 5 minutes long and Xiao Ke answered with yes, I know, and I will consider this the entire time.
The call got hung up and Xiao Ke nced pitifully at Lin Yueqi who was drinking, saying, Sister Qi, youre doomed.
Whats the matter? Why this look? Lin Yueqi closed the cap on the bottle and asked.
Xiao Ke said, Sister Mei called me to tell you that thepany doesnt n on extending the contract with you. Your contract will expire in the middle of the month. She wants me to tell you this so you can search for anotherpany in advance.
Lin Yueqi took out a packet of spicy sticks from her bag and ripped the package open, shoving a spicy stick into Xiao Kes mouth before eating one herself.
Her words were unclear as she had food in her mouth, Cancelling the contract? Thats pretty good, no? That way, I dont need to pay them for acting on my behalf, right? What are you thinking about?
I survive on thepanys pay and you brought me into thepany as welltherefore, Sister Mei wants me to consider working for another celebrity or leaving thepany with you.
Follow me? Id rather not. You should quickly find another celebrity. If you work as a manager for me, Ill only be able to pay you 6,000 at max. It seemed like Lin Yueqi hadnt eaten any spicy food in a while, so her body couldnt endure the spice. She ate a few spicy sticks before she started huffing and puffing. Her forehead was drenched with sweat.
She lifted the spicy sticks in her hand and said, Damn. Not only did the price of the spicy sticks eight yearster rose, but the vor changed too. Garbage!
Xiao Ke tugged her thick eyebrows as she nced at Lin Yueqi, speechlessly saying, Sister Qi, have you been listening to me? If I leave you as well, youre actually doomed with the situation youre in right now!
Lin Yueqi raised her left eyebrow and said indifferently, So what? Ive made up my mind already. Not only am I going to open up a supermarket, but Im also going to open up a snack counter by the school or inside of it! Xiao Ke, if youe to my supermarket or snack counter in the future, you can have all the food you want! You dont need to be proper with me!
Xiao Ke was speechless.
Ever since Lin Yueqi debuted, she had been her assistant.
She originally was a college student just like Lin Yueqi who worked hard in the movies and television city as part-timers by taking part in small roles in theatrical ys. Because their family situations were simr and they hadplementary personalities, they quickly became good friends. When Lin Yueqi became popr, she didnt forget her friend and instead, she introduced her to directors.
However, Xiao Ke quickly realized that she wasnt fit to be an actress, so she changed paths and became Lin Yueqis assistant.
Chapter 9 - The Wealthy Husband and Intelligent Daughter (2)
Ch.9 The Wealthy Husband and Intelligent Daughter(2)
Lin Yueqi was two years older than Xiao Ke, so whether in public or in private, Xiao Ke called her Sister Qi.
The two assisted one another the entire way. Up until today, Xiao Ke finally understood what it meant by when the tree topples, the monkeys scatter. Then, she couldnt help but feel bad for Lin Yueqi.
When the power car was almost at their station, Lin Yueqi suddenly knitted her eyebrows and clutched her stomach, crying out in pain, Damn. The quality of the spicy sticks really isnt good enough my stomach oh no, I need to use the bathroom.
Xiao Ke had a nervous expression while asking her, Sister Qi, are you ok?
Lin Yueqi didnt respond as she clutched her stomach and ran towards the bathroom.
When she arrived at the bathroom in the middle of the carriage, she suddenly remembered that she didnt carry toilet paper.
Although there were barely any people in the carriage, it felt awkward to ask Xiao Ke if she had toilet paper from the position she was standing at. Therefore, she wore her sunsses and bent over to tap on a young mans shoulder.
Smiling, she asked, ssmate, do you have toilet paper?
This was the first time Lu Ting had heard someone call him ssmate and he, who was originally looking through the performance results, ced the tablet down and turned around to look at the woman tapping his shoulder.
Lu Ting wore a ck suit and sat up straight by a window seat while his briefcase was ced on the seat besides him. On the table, there was his iPad and a bunch ofplicated-looking data on the screen that Lin Yueqi didnt understand.
From a nce, she could tell he was a white-cor.
The man turned around and Lin Yueqi was so shocked that she forgot her stomach pain.
She had pursued many male idols during her life, but in terms of the attractiveness index, no man couldpare to him.
The mans attire was neat and clean and he emitted a strong sense of elite temperament.
His skin color was leaning towards tanned and the trend of international healthy skin color. Although he was wearing proper attire and had broad shoulders, he revealed an athletic and well-built aura. He wasnt handsome like the male leads in the novel as he had a mature face with slightly high eyebrows paired with sharp eyes and pressing imposing manner.
Towards these kind of men, women ordinary dont dare to hit on them.
Lu Ting slightly knitted his thick eyebrows and delivered a pack of wrapping paper and asked deeply with a slightly shocking tone, Lin Yueqi?
Thank you! Lin Yueqi pushed the sunsses up the bridge of her nose and covered half of her face, saying, ssmate, you sure know how to joke around. Lin Yueqi would take a car like this? Thanks for the wrapping paper, ssmate!
Lu Ting gazed at the petite figure quickly running away from him as if looking back at the young girl who was quietly wearing her clothes and holding onto her heels, sneaking out of the hotel from five years ago.
Lin Yueqi just turned around and before she could even turn a corner, someone grabbed her wrist.
She covered the bottom part of her face some more and said, ssmate, Im really not that female celebrity. If I was, would I be that much of a coward? Someone who acts that low?
She had a very slim wrist and her skin felt smooth.
Lu Ting loosened his grip and faintly said, Come here in a bit and lets have a chat.
Lin Yueqi was speechless. She grabbed the wrapping paper and turned around, running off. She entered the bathroom before processing the words the man had said.
Are male ssmates from eight yearster that good at hitting on women now?
She held the wrapping paper she got from the man and took a careful look.
The package was white and it has a simple design, but the style was very unique. She recognized the brand of the wrapping paper. It was the Hermes brand, enough to prove that not only did the man have a nice lifestyle, but he also had lived under pretty good circumstances. The man recognized her, but wasnt shocked like when someone recognized a celebrity. From this, she could tell that the man wasnt ordinary.
He probably converses with celebrities often?
Having only 17 years worth of memory, she was unfamiliar with everything that happened within the circle. Encountering this man, she subconsciously avoided him.
With an outstanding man, there would be countless female side leads revolving around him, just like the man named Lu Ting in her dream. If it werent because he was too outstanding, would the future her be envied by a group of female side leads? And then schemed to her death?
Though, it was strange. Even though she knew her future ending from her dream, the images of the characters were blurry in her mind.
Chapter 10 - The Wealthy Husband and Intelligent Daughter (3)
Ch.10 The Wealthy Husband and Intelligent Daughter(3)
After she woke up from her dream, she could only remember the general details and main characters names. She couldnt remember their looks at all.
This is also one of the reasons why she didnt feel anything towards her future pitiful life as well as theck of love she feels towards her daughter, little bun.
Not long after she came out of the bathroom, the power car arrived at the station.
While it was crowded, she squeezed out of the station and borrowed a workers phone by the station, calling her cell.
Xiao Ke answered the phone and asked nervously, Sister Qi, where are you? I already got off the station. Quicklye out.
Someone recognized me and they want to have a talk with me. Im terrified and I dont dare to go back right now. Lin Yueqi hid behind a pir and patted her chest, saying, Well meet at Exit 2.
Ok. Xiao Ke reminded her, Remember to leave the station when there are fewer people. It wont end well if someone recognizes you.
I know, I know.
*
15 minutester, Lin Yueqi and Xiao Ke met up at the exit and the two hailed a taxi home.
When her paternal aunt, Lin Yu, found out that Lin Yueqi wasing home today, she was at home cooking.
Lin Yu was 43 years old today. In order to take care of Lin Yueqi, she had missed too many opportunities and even now, she was still unmarried. After Lin Yueqi became pregnant in college, she didnt force her to abort her child, but instead, respected her decision.
Lin Yueqi had deferred from her studies for nearly 7 months and after giving birth to her daughter, little bun, she returned back to school for her studies.
Lin Yueqi was pretty lucky. The second year after she returned to school, she received the role of the third female side lead within a TV y and became popr ever since.
Although Lin Yueqi bought her paternal aunt, Lin Yu, a house, Lin Yu still lived within the old home in Qingshans town.
She could nt some crops, raise some chickens and livestocks, as well as admiring Yumens ancient culture. The environment was nice and she lived a rxing lifestyle. She didnt want to live in the county town or the city. Lin Yu was thinking that after little bun starts elementary school, she could move to the county town by then.
Lin Yu was cutting up vegetables in the kitchen while the little bun was carrying a basket, walking in from outside and carrying it to Lin Yu. She banged her little head against Lin Yus thigh and said softly, Grandma, how are the vegetables little bun picked up?
While chopping the vegetables, Lin Yu nced at the neat rows oftro in the little girls basket.
The little girl washed thetro cleanly and then she carefully plucked off the tip, leaving only the greenesttro which was sitting in the little girls basket neatly.
Lin Yu bent down to take the basket from the little girl, rubbing her head and praising, Our little bun is very capable. Ok, grandma doesnt need your help now. You can go out and y.
Grandma, do you really not need little buns help? The little girl blinked herrge doey eyes and nced sincerely at the woman.
No, grandma can do these things. Lin Yu nced at the little girl standing properly in front of her, smiling and asking, Does little bun want to ask grandma something?
The little bun was treated nicely and fed properly, so she was a bit chubby. She wore the handmade cotton-padded jacket and stood in front of the adult, feeling shy. She ced her chubby hands on her stomach and while thinking, she patted her stomach out of habit. Mhmlittle bun wants to ask when mummy will being back.
This little girl I knew it. Lin Yu smiled and said, Your mummy ising back today and from the looks of it, shell be back soon. You can go out and y for a while.
Hearing that her mummy wasing back, the little girl turned around and ran. While running, her braided pigtails bounced, making her look adorable.
The little girl just ran out when Lin Yu received a call.
While Lin Yueqi and Xiao Ke were hailing a taxi, they encountered some small trouble, so they would be backter. She had Lin Yu eat first and for her not to wait for them.
Although she said that, after hanging up, Lin Yu ced the cooked dishes in the steamer baskets.
Little bun ran out of the room and Big Huang who was lying by the door started to run behind her, like her little shadow.
The little girl stepped out of the house and sat on the doorsteps while the dog followed suit.
Big Huang was the typical guard dog in viges. When he sat down, he was still a bit taller than the little girl.
The little girl gazed at the end of the road and extended her chubby arms to wrap her arms around the yellow dog, leaning half her body against the dogs head.
Chapter 11 - The Wealthy Husband and Intelligent Daughter (4)
Ch.11 The Wealthy Husband and Intelligent Daughter(4)
She lifted the back of her chubby hand and rubbed her eyes, staring carefully at the taxi driving over from not far.
She immediately sat up straight and patted her butt, standing up and saying in surprise, Big Huang! My mummys back!
Woof!
She looked at the yellow puppy and murmured to herself, Your mummy is at Grandfather Thirds house, next to our house. You must not know the bitterness of missing your mummy.
The taxi stopped in front of her car and a tall man walked out, carrying his briefcase.
The originally eager little bun became disappointed right away and she ran over with her short legs, even climbing into the taxi and attempted to see if her mummy was hiding in the corners.
The driver yelled at little bun and said, Young girl, whats the matter with you? Get off quickly!
The driver from the city disliked the dirty young girls from the viges and immediately scolded her.
The young girl jumped out of the taxi and red at the driver, saying, Why are you yelling at me? I have a mummy! My mummy can also swear!
As she said this, tears immediately lingered in her round eyes, but she tried her best to control her emotions, not allowing the tears to fall. She looked stubbornly at the driver.
Lu Ting observed the little girl. She was only up to his thigh and she wore an unsophisticated handmade cotton-padded jacket with a dirty white apron tied around her. However, her face and hands were very clean. Because it was humid and dry in autumn and winter, her chubby cheeks gradually turned red and the braided pigtails on her head made her look less sophisticated.
Lu Ting nced at the yard and then looked down at her, asking, Little girl, may I ask for the directions to Lin Yus house?
Little bun didnt get to see her mummying back, so she wasnt in a delightful mood. She raised her head at the man and said unhappily, My teacher told me that its very impolite to call your parents by their name! You cant call my grandma that!
Lin Yu is your grandma? Lu Ting looked carefully at her asplicated feelings arose in his heart.
Little bun nced around and poked Lu Tings knee and then gestured for him to bend down, saying, Come closer and Ill tell you. Grandma doesnt want me to tell others that she is my grandma.
Clearly, the little girl wasnt that old. While saying this, she had to try to structure her sentence in order to express what she was trying to say clearly.
Oh? Lu Ting raised his eyebrows and bent down.
The little girl immediately tugged on his ears with her chubby hands, pulling him over.
With her lips on the mans ears, she said softly, Let me tell you. My mummy is a celebrity and shes amazing. Ok, now that I told you this secret, you cant tell anyone else.
When the little girl tugged on his ears, he knitted his eyebrows tightly. But hearing the little girls soft and adorable voice, his heart melted.
Pinky swear with me!
The little girl extended her pinky as Lu Ting stared at her short and chubby finger,ughing. However, he did the same.
The little girl tugged his finger with difficulty and said slowly, Pinky swear! If you change your mind, youll
Will what?
The little girl looked around with her jet-ck eyes, saying, Then youll be my daddy!
Lu Ting was dumbstruck.
His expression made the little girl feel very ufortable. She immediately tugged the mans ears and said in a childish voice, My mummy is very beautiful. Dont you dare dislike my mummy!
Lu Ting was speechless. No one has ever tugged on his ears like her before.
He softly coughed and knitted his eyebrows, asking, Do you say that to every unfamiliar man?
No. The little girlughed and revealed her white sparkling teeth. She said unclearly, I only say this to handsome big brothers!
Lu Ting nodded and asked again, It seems like this is fate. Why dont you give me a strand of your hair as a present?
Without another word, little bun tugged a strand of her hair off and carefully ced it in the mans wide palm. Then, she curled the mans palm into a fist and said in seriousness, This is my hair. Hold onto it. Its our token. In the future, when I grow up, bring this to me, so you can marry my mother.
She said seriously as if swearing an oath with a man.
No matter how upset Lu Ting was, in front of this little girl, he couldnt act upon it anymore. He rubbed the little girls head with his other hand and said, I definitely will if we are fated
The author has something to say:
Little bun is so cute.Sobs.I feel like both father and daughter are adorable.
Chapter 12 - Daughter is a Chubby Girl (1)
Chapter 12 Daughter is a Chubby Girl (1)
Lu Ting took out a stic bag from his briefcase and carefully ced the little girls strand of hair in there before cing it away.
Seeing that Lu Ting was so carefully cing her hair away, the little girl felt as if she was well-respected.
She rubbed her round stomach with her chubby hands and sighed heavily, saying, Seeing how sincerely youre treasuring our token, Ill treat you out for dinner tonight, ok?
Oh? Lu Ting raised his eyebrows and kneeled, smiling and observing her. You dont seem that old. Do you have the right to make this decision?
Who said Im not that old? The young girl said in a childish tone, trying hard to structure her sentence, so that this adult could understand her. Afraid that he might not understand her, she extended four chubby fingers and widened her eyes, saying, Im four! A mature child! I can treat people for food!
Lu Ting was unable to restrain his smile and gave a low chuckle again.
Uncle, you look very handsome when you smile. She withdrew her chubby hands and obediently ced it behind her back, saying, Youre just as good-looking as my mummy.
Lu Ting supported his body and stood up.
Little bun raised her head, ncing at this man as tall as a mountain. She ced her chubby hand on her forehead and thenpared her height to his thigh. While gesturing about, she sighed with feeling and said, Im only up to this uncles thigh. Im so sad.
She wanted to have long and slender legs like that of an ostrichs. She sighed. It seems like theres no hope in this life anymore.
She was too short.Sigh
The little girl looked down and sighed heavily. The dog by her side seemed to have understood her thoughts and wagged his tails,ing over and rubbing the little girls face with his mouth.
The little bun cupped Big Huangs mouth and shifted her face away in dislike. She giggled and once sheforted the naughty yellow dog, she returned around. However, the man disappeared.
She scratched the back of her head, wondering:Was that uncle an immortal?
Before Lu Ting came, he already reserved a room in the vige tavern. The owner brought him up to his room and while he was at it, he asked about the little bun.
The decorative style of the tavern was ancient and antique, but it was unique and distinctive.
While thedy boss led him upstairs, she said, Little bun? Youre talking about Sister Lins bandit-like child right? That little girl is unbelievable. At such a young age, she has been lively within the vige, the head of the children in the vige! Shes like a little tyrant. Since that celebrity came here to film the reality show, she even became popr. We all thought that Sister Lin had picked that girl by the side of the world, but after looking at the news, we found out that she seems to be Yueqis daughter. Yueqi, this girl, has quite a bitter life. She finally became a celebrity and earned money, but because of this scandal its all that scumbugs fualt!
Thedy boss was energetic while she was saying this and when she mentioned Lin Yueqi, she felt pity for her. She even forgot to open the door for Lu Ting.
Scumbag? Lu Ting didnt remind her to open the door as he stood by the door and continued to talk to her.
You dont know? Thedy boss was extremely angry and pped her thigh hard, saying, This has been spread all over the inte! I was watching the media and they said that it was because Yueqi was poor and couldnt resist the temptation in college that she went to bars to drink with people. Then, she suddenly got pregnant out of the blue and she didnt know who the father was either. Sigh. The inte has been scolding Yueqi and the words were unbearable to hear. Even our neighbors who saw the news were angry! It was up to me, so what if she went to drink with people? Its not like she had done something wrong. Right? If she lived in great circumstances, who would do that?Oh right, while talking to you, I forgot to open the door for you. Sorry.
Thedy boss stopped talking and opened the door, shifting to the side to allow him in, saying, The bathroom is here. If the room is missing anything or you want something, just holler by the door. I can hear from downstairs.
Ok.
Chapter 13 - Daughter is a Chubby Girl (2)
Ch.13 Daughter is a Chubby Girl(2)
After sending thedy boss away, he closed the door and hung the briefcase on the clothes hanger. Then, Lu Ting took out his iPad and went through the recent news.
The night the day before yesterday, Lin Yueqi posted on Weibo and there were tens of thousands ofments under her Weibo all scolding and swearing at her.
Lin Yueqi V: Im about to achieve my ultimate goal in life! Open! Supermarket! From today on, I will have endless snacks and food. Darlings, are you guys jealous? Humph. Even if you guys are jealous, I wont let you guys eat this!
The Weibo style was different from her mature and stable personality. Comparing the two, this Weiboment seems extremely childish.
Thements underneath were extremely malicious as well.
Since your face is disfigured, you decided itll be best for you to leave the entertainment industry and open a supermarket? There must be something wrong with you, hahah!
Whats the name of the supermaket? Disfigured Celebritys Supermarket? Its good that youre leaving the entertainment industry, but dont think about doing anything to my Goddess Xue anymore, ok?
Although its a tragedy that your face is disfigured, I dont pity you at all. You deserved this. I hope you can turn a new leaf over and be a better person. Dont let jealousy take over you. Thatll only make you uglier.
Disgusting. Nowadays, anyone can be a celebrity? This girl sold her body when she was in college and she doesnt even know the father of her child. Knowing this makes me barf. The entertainment industry should shut out this celebrity in order to teach the rest!
+1. Its very disgusting. Your past fans are very disappointed in you! Youve deceived us all these years and youre not going to consider apologizing to us? We dont care if you used to have a child, but we dont want our idol to be a miss who drinks with people for money. Disgusting.
These days, negative news revolving around Lin Yueqi has been taking the headline. Seeing that they were done attacking her, the media started to expose little buns pictures and attempted to ruin her reputation.
The four years old little buns face was dirty in the picture and she was like a little boy, ying with the spinning top at the vige entrance with her pigtail. Behind the little girl, there were equally as dirty little boys staring at her.
The spinning top spun rapidly and because the little girl was whipping the spinning top hard, her braided pigtails soared in the air.
There were online users who immediately criticized beneath the post.
Damn. This little girl is that dirty? When she was on the show with Qin Xue, she wasnt like this.
Someone uploaded the highlights of the reality show that Qin Xue was in. That day, the crew was filming the episode in the vige and Qin Xue found the dirty-looking little girl to be adorable, so she helped wash and clean the little girl. Qin Xue was like a mother. She carefully wiped the little girls face and even changed her clothes. This is the proper model of a mother. What was wrong with Lin Yueqi?
+1. My Goddess is so kind-hearted and I cant believe she even meticulously took care of an unfamiliar child. Meanwhile, Lin Yueqi is just despicable. Although the little girl was her illegitimate daughter, she was innocent. What a pity for her.
How can a woman like Lin Yueqi be a mother? I think that Lin Yueqi didnt even consider the little girl as her daughter. She purposely threw her in the hands of her paternal aunt in the vige, so that she could abuse her.
The person behind the scenes specially released a video of an interview with the vigers to prove the point that Lin Yueqi was abusing her daughter.
The reporter interviewed an old man who was carrying a hoe over his shoulder and heading back home, and asked, Old man, do you know little bun?
Little bun, ah. Of course I know her. Shes a miserable little girl in our vige!
The reporter was confused and asked for rification, Miserable little girl? Why is that?
The old man said, After watching the news, we just found out that this girl was actually Lin Yueqis daughter. Lin Yueqis paternal aunt lives in our vige. Oh my, you guys dont know. Ever since Lin Yueqi became a celebrity, she didnt evene back to the vige once a year or talk about visiting her daughter and paternal aunt. Speaking of her paternal aunt, Lin Yu, it might be because she was too old and passed the prime age of marriage, she isnt in the right state of mind. She frequently beats the girl up to vent her anger. This girl is pitiful and the children in the vige bullied her whenever they saw her, saying that she was basically motherless.
The reporter added, Inhumane!
The old man replied, Right?
Chapter 14 - Daughter is a Chubby Girl (3)
Ch.14 Daughter is a Chubby Girl(3)
After Lu Ting saw the omnipresent news, he knitted his eyebrows tightly.
Ever since he returned, he only met Lin Yueqi once on the power car, so he wasnt sure of her personality.
However, he was sure that the little girl was definitely not someone who would allow others to bully and abuse her. With her quick-witted mind, who dared to bully her? Who had the heart to bully her?
The little girl was chubby and healthy. From this one could tell that Lin Yueqis paternal aunt had treated her considerately well and fed her. Regarding her dirtiness Shes a kid and likes to fool around. Plus, she enjoyed ying with boys, so its unavoidable that she might get herself dirty.
He just returned when he saw the news about Lin Yueqis illegitimate daughter and after analyzing this, he suspected that little bun was his daughter.
This was a very important matter to him, and he allowed no room for error. He didnt bring a chauffeur or an assistant during this journey to the Qingshan Town this time.
As top millionaire Lus only grandson, Lu Ting had to be careful of his every step.
If little bun was truly his daughter, then he must take his daughter back personally in order to demonstrate his good faith.
*
At nine in the evening, the little bun still sat on the doorsteps. She cupped her face with her hands and nced at the car lights gradually nearing in the darkness.
That was Grandpa Thirds pedicab from next door and he normally used it to haul chicken, sheep, pigs, and other livestocks. It always had a stinky smell. Her mummy would never take that pedicab back home. In her memory, mummy only rode in fancy cars.
The journey home on the pedicab was bumpy. While Lin Yueqi lifted the suitcase off the pedicab, she hollered at the door and said, My beautiful aunt! Your Qiqi is back! Come and wee me!
Xiao Ke covered her face with her hand, speechless. If Lin Yueqis fans knew that she had be like this now, would they go insane?
Lin Yueqi just got out of the pedicab when a meat ball crashed on her feet and they tightly hugged her thighs, childishly saying, Mummy!
Lin Yueqi nced down at the little meat ball and shrieked, Damn, whos your mummy! You can take the wrong medicine, but you must not call the wrong person your mummy!
Little bun let go of Lin Yueqi and pushed her suitcase, walking in while murmuring, Mummy, grandma cooked a lot of delicious food for you! Grandma deep fried your favorite pork! Ouch
The little girl was shorter than the suitcase, so while going over the doorsteps, she attempted to push the suitcase through.
The strong Xiao Ke carried the other suitcase and passed by, picking up the suitcase in little buns hands and easily lifted both inside the door. Xiao Ke seemed to know her way around as she pushed the suitcases in and called out, Aunt Lin, Xiao Ke is here to visit you!
Lin Yus voice rang from inside, Xiao Ke is here? Quick. Quicklye inside!
Lin Yue who tied her apron around her walked out and flipped the curtains to the side, taking the suitcases from her.
Meanwhile, Lin Yueqi and the little chubby girl were in an intense staring contest.
Mummy The chubby girl walked over and held onto Lin Yueqis fingers, pulling her inside as she said, Mummy, quicklye in. Grandma is waiting for you to start dinner.
The seventeen years old Lin Yueqi felt the world copsing on her as a child called her mother.
The little girl dragged her inside as Lin Yueqi pulled her back hard, kneeling down. After they were on eye level, she pointed at the little girls nose and said, Dont call me mummy in the future.
Why? The little bun scratched the back of her head, confused.
Girl, please understand the situation right now, ok? I, Lin Yueqi, is just a seventeen years old girl who should be enjoying her time. I feel crushed by the fact that a meat ball as big as you is calling me mummy.
Little bun drew a semi-circle with her short and thick chubby arms in the air and then crossed her arms over her chest, knitting her eyebrows and humping. Mummy, do you dislike me?
Chapter 15 - Daughter is a Chubby Girl (4)
Ch.15 Daughter is a Chubby Girl(4)
Little bun drew a semi-circle with her short and thick chubby arms in the air and then crossed her arms over her chest, knitting her eyebrows and humping. Mummy, do you dislike me?
No, no, no. Thats not what I mean. Youre so cute, so why would I dislike you? Lin Yueqi pinched the little girls chubby face and then patted her shoulders saying, Dont you think mummy is displeasing to the ears?
But if I dont call you mummy, what do I call you? The little bun tugged the two braided pigtails.
Qiqi?
Fine. The little girl moved her chubby face closer and then poked her chubby cheeks with her short fingers, saying, Kiss me on the cheeks and Ill agree.
Lin Yueqi was speechless. She unwillingly moved closer and kissed the little girls cheeks.
She just finished kissing her when the little girl wrapped her arms around her neck and smacked her lips on Lin Yueqis. Then she happily led the dog and ran into the room.
Lin Yueqi clutched her face, dumbstruck.This little brat. Give me my first kiss back!
*
Lin Yu made a table full of food, all Lin Yueqis favorites.
Deep-fried pork, pea shoots and meatballs soup, shredded beef with pea shootstely, Lin Yueqi had eaten quite a bit of takeouts with Xiao Ke and now, her paternal aunts healthy meal made her gorge herself.
Lin Yu kept on putting food in their bowls and saying warmly, Eat slowly. No ones stealing the food from you guys.
Lin Yueqi had the habit of scrolling through Weibo while eating. She just turned on her phone when Xiao Ke snatched it away.
She still had food in her mouth, so her words were vague, Xiao Ke, youre too excessive! Hand the phone back! As a transmigrated beautiful woman, I need to look at the news to understand the current trends.
Ill look for you. Xiao Ke was worried of her seeing the negative news on the inte from the past few days and that it might influence her appetite.
Then read the headlines for me.
Xiao Ke opened it up and noticed that Lin Yueqi was on the top rankings.
#Lin Yueqis identity as a bar girl has been exposed.#
#Lin Yueqis college ssmates had made explosive allegations that she had a messy personal life#
#Lin Yueqi was a gold-digger and frequently got out of luxurious cars.#
Up until the 7th one, it was news pertaining to another topic.
Xiao Ke clicked on the 7th headline and read, Lu Shengguo has retired and ns on handing Qiancheng Group to his grandson.
Lu Shengguo was the top millionaire in China. Even eight years ago, this old mans name was well-known.
This old man had established Qiancheng Group by himself and hadrge businesses. However, there was never news of his sons and such. ordingly to rumors, Lu Shengguos son had passed away early in his life , so he only had a grandson. Yet, this mysterious grandson was never under the spotlight.
Xiao Ke who never concerned herself with financial news was puzzled after seeing this. In the news, when Lu Shengguo epted the interview, he admitted to having a grandson. Just how lucky must this grandson be to have be the top millionaires grandson and inherit this vast family property?
A name popped up in Lin Yueqis mind Lu Ting.
She was curious about the appearance of little buns father.
She turned around to see the little chubby girl with an oily mouth and carrying an enamel bowl while holding a steel spoon. She could almost imagine the little buns fathers appearance in her mind.
Probably an oily and greasy fatty?
After the little girl with a huge appetite ced the bowl down, she patted her round stomach and sincerely said from the bottom of her heart, If only I had a wealthy daddy. That way, I can have daddy buy mummys time, so she can stay by my side daily!
Lin Yueqi chuckled and said, You have quite the thought. Little chubby girl, dont worry. Quickly, half of your wish will be granted.
Whoa, will mummy stay by my side from now on? She rocked her short legs back and forth, and her eyes sparkled.
Lin Yueqi said, No, youll get the daddy you wish for soon.
Chapter 16 - No Stepmother, Only Want Mummy (1)
Ch.16 No Stepmother, Only Want Mummy(1)
Qiqi, you have a boyfriend? Lin Yu thought there were developments to Lin Yueqis rtionship, so she ced her bowl and chopsticks down, asking, How is the man?
Aunt Li, dont listen to her nonsense. She doesnt have any memory after she turned 17 years old, so where is she going to find a boyfriend? Date a junior in high school? Xiao Ke dropped some meat in Lin Yus bowl, indicating for her to eat more.
From the time they started eating until present, Lin Yu had already gotten a general understanding of Lin Yueqis situation, but she found it incredulous.
Dont bully me for losing my memory. I told you guys that I really know who the little chubby girls father is. Lin Yueqi raised her chopsticks and spoke frankly with assurance.
Xiao Ke bit the tip of the chopsticks and said calmly, Sister Qi, are you telling me that little buns father is top millionaire Lus grandson?
Thats right. How do you know?
Little bun patted her forehead with her chubby hands and said childishly, Oh my god. Aunty Keke already saw through mummys lies. Mummys losing face!
Lin Yueqi was speechless.
Lin Yu smiled and put some more food in Lin Yueqis bowl, ordering, You just stay home and recuperate these few days. Tomorrow, Ill have your Grandfather Third invite a doctor trained in Chinese medicine over to take a look at the injury on your face. The injury doesnt seem deep, so it probably wont leave any scars. Dont think too much about it.
Seeing that no one on the dining table believed in her words, Lin Yueqi said in a low voice, You guys can choose to believe it or not. Once the chubby little girl bes the heir to the Lu Family, you guys will find out.
She rapidly finished the food in her bowl and snatched her phone back from Xiao Ke before running back to her room to sleep.
Seeing that she finished eating to her hearts content and she also had the cozy heater in the background to warm her up, Lin Yueqi wrapped herself in her nkets and quickly fell into deep sleep.
In her dream, Lin Yueqi had a general understanding that Lu Ting was only willing to marry her because of the little bun.
There were barely any members in the Lu Family, so little bun will be Lu Familys only heir and the real young daughter of an affluent family.
In her dream, Lin Yueqi wanted to take revenge on Qin Xue, so she needed Lu Tings power. Therefore, she married Lu Ting under a contract.
Shell be Mrs. Lu while the Lu Family would give her any resources she needed.
Borrowing Lu Familys power, Lin Yueqi could indeed make aeback. But, she had never won against Qin Xue.
Qin Xue had gathered enough of Lin Yueqis negative energy, so she was sufficiently beautiful. She started to seduce Lu Ting, but thetter only had his heart set on his daughter and family, so the seduction didnt work on him at all.
Qin Xue used her beauty to gain ess to many connections and using them, she provoked Lin Yueqi constantly, not giving her a chance to adjust the negative energy in her. Lin Yueqi couldnt find any time to take a breath at all.
Lin Yueqi was petitive and aggressive. She always liked to fight with people, which made Lu Ting a bit annoyed at her. Originally, he didnt even establish a rtionship with Lin Yueqi, but after facing this woman with negative energy daily, his favorable impression of her decreased.
Because little bun was young, she was easily influenced by adults. The originally innocent, adorable, and well-behaved little bun was influenced by Lin Yueqis negative energy, and she slowly changed. Lu Ting realized this and started to talk to Lin Yueqi about her being a role model for the child. However, the negotiations always failed. For the childs mental health, Lu Ting had little bun stay away from her mother intentionally or otherwise.
Even so, Lu Ting never thought about divorcing.
Up until female side lead #2, #3 appearedthus, Lin Yueqi was unable to regte her negative energy, and she started to have depression. In the end, she wasnt even in the right state of mind and even began to hit the little bun.
The female side lead meticulously arranged for Lu Ting to personally witness Lin Yueqis abuse towards the child. Finally, Lu Ting couldnt bear this anymore and divorced her for the child.
When Lin Yueqi woke up, it was only three in the morning. Despite her attempt to sleep again, she really couldnt fall asleep anymore.
Although it was a dream, she could clearly feel how strong the negative energy was inside of her. From the perspective of bystanders, she felt like she was just a fool in the dream.
Chapter 17 - No Stepmother, Only Want Mummy (2)
Ch.17 No Stepmother, Only Want Mummy(2)
But after thinking about it, she couldnt help but feel pity towards herself in the dream.
If it was any other ordinary person, they would probably end up like herself in the dream after enduring the female side leads conspiracies.
Lin Yueqi rubbed her slightly stiff chest and she became more and more determined to stay away from these sinister female side leads.
They were favored by the world, but she wasnt. She was just an ordinary person who lost her memory.
Lin Yueqi turned the lights on in the room and the room was immediately brightened up.
Even though eight years have passed, her room was still the same as before and there were no changes at all.
The nearly 4 feet long bed was kept to the wall and there were posters of celebrities from eight years ago. Because of the time, it became more old-fashioned. From the esthetics nowadays, the male celebrity in the poster wasnt dressing in a mainstream style.
There was an old-fashioned table by the bed, but it was neat and clean. In the vase, there was even a China rose.
This was plucked from the yard by little bun in the afternoon. She even personally collected water from the hose in the yard for the vase. She knew that her mummy wasing home, so she wanted to make her mummys room seem more lively.
Lin Yueqi only retained her memory up to 17 years old. She threw her nkets to the side and got out of bed, trudging and instinctively headed towards the bookshelf.
Whenever she suffered from insomnia, she chose to work on problems.
There were many textbooks from when she was in college on the bookshelf and she quickly found a Practice College Entrance Examin the corner and then took out another book from the bottom: Every Question You Need to Know for College Entrance Exam and Study Guide
She casually flipped through it and noticed that the information was different from what she remembered. The book contained problem exnations and main points.
Since she was a child, Lin Yueqi had been the viges and the county towns schools genius. But after she went to high school, she noticed that she was just a fake genius.
Lin Yueqis highschool was the best highschool within Sichuan and her grades were alwaysst within the rocket ss. In terms of her grade rankings, she was still in the hundreds.
She ced the information on the table and then took out her phone, searching through the information of the college entrance exam grades during her year. However, she felt heartbroken. There were 29 people in her ss that year and 15 people went abroad, 3 went to Tsinghua University, 3 went to Peking University, while the rest went to Renmin University or Fudan University
It seemed like she was the only one with ordinary grades and went to a neglected main field of study in A University.
Although the A University was a good university, the university was known for its finance major, and the drama and theatrical major which Lin Yueqi was in was considered useless.
Seeing this, Lin Yueqi felt her heart turning cold and took out scrap paper and pen, starting to review.
Who knows if she would transmigrate back to her senior year one day? Maybe she could take the college entrance exam again? Maybe she could get into Tsinghua University?
No matter what, she should hope. What if it became true one day?
Thinking of this, she took out a white headscarf from the drawer and used the little chubby girls watercolor brush to write college entrance exam, fighting! and then she tied it around her head, determined to practice.
Lin Yueqi who was trying right now had been emitting positive energy. Although it was faint and weak, Qin Xues Beauty Filtersystem had been attacked by this.
It was 3:30 in the morning and Qin Xue was at the filming location, filming a night scene.
While filming an action scene with the male side lead, red pimples appeared on her face and under the HD camera lens, it was inly visible and clear.
The male side lead jumped at the red pimples on Qin Xues face and his hands trembled, asking, Damn. Qin Xue, what happened to your face?
Qin Xue was confused.
While she was bewildered, she received a notification in her ears, saying, Heroine, Lin Yueqi, has positive energy worth 5 points. Therefore, the system will be punishing you with pimples on your face for the whole day.
Qin Xue immediately had her assistant bring over the mirror and after ncing at it, she noticed how clearly her pimples were even under the concealer. She hadnt seen her ugly self in such a long time and right then, she clutched her face and screamed, running into the tent to rest by the side.
Chapter 18 - No Stepmother, Only Want Mummy (3)
Ch.18 No Stepmother, Only Want Mummy(3)
Lin Yueqiid on the table and felt numb after doing her practice problems. Any intentions of working hard and striving had vanished right then.
In her mind, she was thinking damn, this question is so difficult, ugh, this question must be anti-humanity, right? the teacher creating this question must be mental
In the room next door, little bun woke up from holding in her pee.
She didnt wake up Lin Yu who was beside her, but after sitting up, she rubbed her eyes with her chubby hands. She carefully jumped down from the bed and slipped on her grandmas slippers.
The little chubby girl was wearing a thin jacket and she rubbed her round stomach, trudging her grandmas slippers to the bathroom.
After she was done with the bathroom, as she returned to the room, she saw her mummys room still lit up. Therefore, she slowly pushed the door open and peeked in.
She slipped in and ran over to Lin Yueqi, climbing onto her bed and getting in the nkets.
The little girl revealed a bun-like face and blinked herrge doey eyes, yawning at Lin Yueqi. Mummy, why are you learning? Arent you working?
Lin Yueqi had been spending so much effort to find the solution to this problem, so she didnt detect the little chubby girl at all.
Her body shook when she suddenly heard the little chubby girls voice.
She ced her pencil down and turned around to look at her, asking, WTH. Dont you make noises while walking?
Of course. I made a lot of noises when I was walking, but mummy was too focused. The little girl smiled and threw the nkets to the side, patting the empty spot next to her, saying, Mummy, dont tire yourself. Here, get in bed and sleep with little bun.
She ced her pencil down and rubbed her sore eyes, getting into bed.
The moment she got into bed, her feet were a bit cold, so the little girl moved to the other side of the bed and cupped Lin Yueqis cold feet. While rubbing it with her chubby hands, she said, Mummy, little bun will warm your feet up. Ill blow warm air.
Lin Yueqi felt her warm and gentle little chubby hands on her and was speechless.Damn. Why did she feel like crying?
After her feet became warmer, little chubby girl kissed her feet, saying, Mummy smells good. Even mummys feet smells god!
Lin Yueqi wiggled her big toe, dumbstruck.Whoa. This girl is great at ttering people!
The little girl went back to her side of the bed and slept on the same pillow as Lin Yueqi. She ced her short and chubby hands on Lin Yueqis face. While touching it, she said, Mummy looks so well-behaved. Little buns heart is melting at the sight.
Enough, can you stop kissing up to me? Lin Yueqi grabbed her little chubby hands and kissed it, biting and saying, If you keep kissing up to me, Ill eat you!
The little girl knitted her eyebrows and immediately shut her mouth.
Not only did Lin Yueqi n on filming Celebrity College Entrance Exam Competitionafter returning to A City, she also nned on returning the daughter back to her daddys side, so she could be the daughter of Lu Family.
Little bun blinked her eyes and asked, Daddy? Little bun has a daddy?
Of course, its not like you popped out of a rock. Of course you have a father. Lin Yueqi rolled her eyes and continued to say, Plus, your daddy is extremely wealthy and can buy a stepmother for you.
Little buns face became solemn and after a while of silence, her childish voice became serious, Qiqi.
Hm?
Ill listen to you in the future and be an obedient child. Ill call you Qiqi and not mummy anymore.
And then?
And then, and then and then The little girl tried to form her words, swallowing her saliva and then saying, Then dont bring me to find daddy, ok?
Why? Dont you want a wealthy daddy?
But little bun doesnt want a stepmother. I only want Qiqi. The little girls eyes became teary, but she tried her best to control her tears from falling. She rubbed her eyes with her chubby arms and then choked, saying, Little bunI only want you
Her childish voice was like a pang on Lin Yueqis heart, sweet and she couldnt have enough.
The author has something to say:
Shes going to die young! The beautiful female side lead actually has pimples on her face!
Chapter 19 - MMP, What’s Wrong with being the Heroine? (1)
Ch.19 MMP, Whats Wrong with being the Heroine?(1)
The little girl tried her best to control her feelings, which made Lin Yueqi feel bad.
Her heart was like a piece of cheese that had been attacked by the little girl, and a portion of it fell down, breaking apart.
Lin Yueqis heart felt a little stuffy and she clutched her heart, rubbing it. Then she reached over to pinch the little cuties face and said, Oh my god. This little cutie is cuter than me. Youre like a bomb! Hey, how can you be so cute? Its ruining my npletely
Whats Qiqis n? The little girl linked her chubby hands and ced it under her chin, acting as the pillow. She nced at her quietly.
My n is obviously to bring you back to your daddys side and then take my aunt to stuff ourselves with food and travel around the country. Then, Ill marry a handsome guy and live a blissful and happy life.
Little bun felt a littleplicated and she felt wronged. Trying her best to hold in her ears, she mumbled to herself, saying, Oh. Little bun has been abandoned just like this what sins have Imitted?
Nothing Lin Yueqi sighed and sat up, sitting criss-crossed and saying to her, Thats what I think in the past, but look at how obedient you are right now. I cant bear it anymore. This is probably what it means by blood runs thicker than water.
Little bun also sat up and she tugged her jacket down a bit, covering her stomach and saying, No, thats not the case. Qiqi cant bear to leave little bun because little bun is adorable. It has nothing to do with blood runs thicker than water,
Youre right. Lin Yueqi wasnt sleepy anymore. She gazed out the window, but it was still dark outside. She said, Sister little bun, I cant fall asleep anymore.
Thats the same for me how about this? Why dont you teach this little bun how to y a game?
Lin Yueqi nced at the little chubby girl and asked, Why dont we memorize the multiplication table?
Little bun supported her forehead with her hands and said, Oh my god, I dont want to.
Either way, she needed to find something to do to pass this long night. Lin Yueqi thought about it and brought her feet to her neck, twisting into a strange position. Here, Sister little bun. Try this game. It tests your flexibility!
Little bun nced at her mummy who was lifting her legs on her shoulders. She ridiculed in her heart:mummy looks stupid like this.
But in order to not attack mummys confidence, she followed her mummys action.
She tried her best to lift her short and chubby legs over her shoulders, but no matter how much she tried, she was unable to. As she tried, she looked more like a round ball.
Lin Yueqi said, Nevermind. Lets y another game. Sister little bun, look at the wall!
She ced her thumbs together and made the shadow of an eagle soaring on the wal
Although this game was out-dated, little bun cooperated and also lifted her chubby hands, making it into the shape of a wolf.
In the shadow, the wolfs mouth bit on the eagles head and the little girl howled, saying, Little buns wolf bit the head of Qiqis eagle off! Hows that? Is little bun amazing?
Yes, yes. Youre amazing!
.
When Lin Yueqi was tired from ying, she threw her head on the pillow and went to sleep.
Little bun was clumsy and reached over to cover her mummy with the nket. She was slow in tugging the nkets over, but she was cute. She reached down and brushed her mummys hair to the side with her chubby hands, kissing her eyes.
Her hands patted against the nket with rhythm as if coaxing her mummy to sleep just like how her grandma had done the same. She murmured, saying, Mummy, little bun doesnt want her daddy anymore. Little bun just wants to be with you, so mummy, please dont tell me to go away, ok? Since youre not talking, Ill take that as a yes.
The little girl hooked Lin Yueqis fingers with hers and made a pinky promise. Pinky swear!
After saying that, she also got under the nkets, sinking into her dream while clutching onto Lin Yueqis ponytail.
*
After that, every night, the little chubby girl would nag to sleep with her.
After getting along with the little girl these few years, Lin Yueqis beliefs have been swayed.
The plot in the dream told her that her daughter, little bun, would be the second heroine after her. If she insisted on keeping her daughter, then the transmigrated viins mothers female side lead would not only make a move on her, but also little bun.
Chapter 20 - MMP, What’s Wrong with being the Heroine? (2)
Ch.20 MMP, Whats Wrong with being the Heroine?(2)
In order for her viin daughter to be the heroine, the transmigrated viins mother had done everything she could. She used Lin Yueqi to hurt the little buns feelings and after the young little bun lost her mother, the second generation heroine would also change drastically and her personality would be distorted.
After Lin Yueqi passed away, because of Lin Yueqi, the mothers influence, little bun had childhood trauma.
Lin Yueqi had been hated upon by the whole inte. Even after her death, there were countless keyboard warriors who continued to talk about her faults. From elementary school, middle school, and to college the viin female side lead would constantly torture her and let her be a target of the public.
Lu Ting didnt bother to find a stepmother for little bun, so she had been raised by the nanny. Because Lu Ting was busy with work, he neglected the little bun.
The little girl was constantly hurt and injured during her path to adulthood, so she numbed herself by binge eating. Therefore, she became fatter and fatter. She originally was going to be a beautiful woman when she grew up, but under the female side leads guidance, she became a fatty.
She was humiliated in school and encountered bullying therefore, she became a worse and worse person as she grew up. In the end, she became a female side lead. When she was 20, she was arrested for identally murdering someone.
The viin sessfully snatched little buns heronie halo.
Therefore, no matter Lin Yueqi or little bun, their tragic endings were due to the female side leads scheming.
Lin Yueqi clutched her heart and sincerely sighed with feelings. MMP, what exactly did little chubby girl and I do wrong? Why are these female side leads toying with us? Could our biggest mistake be bing the heroine?
(T/N: MMP is short for Ma Mai Pi (sounds like ma my pee), which means Motherf*cker. Popr dirty word in Chinese)
Thinking of this, Lin Yueqi nced sorrowfully towards the little plump girl who was ying with the spinning top far away.
This naive and innocent little plump girl will actually be the second generation heroine? This heroine was a bit too chubby
No.This wasnt the main point. The main point was that if little bun wasnt the second generation heroine and wasnt influenced by the female side leads, she would probably live a very happy life, right?
Lin Yueqi sighed heavily.
What have they done wrong to be the heroine?If she had a choice, she would much rather be an ordinary person and she believed that the little chubby girl had the same thoughts as her.
*
Half a monthter, Lin Yueqi prepared to head back to A City.
Qiqi, youre an actress right now and you need to head back to film the reality show. Its not fit for you to take little bun back with you. Why dont you have her stay here? Lin Yu asked worriedly. Plus, little bun is about to go to kindergarten. If you bring her over, youll dy her schooling.
They had already packed up everything and once little chubby girl heard that her mummy was going to bring her into the city, she packed her bookbag and slung it over her shoulder.
Not only that, she also ced Big Huang on a dog leash, nning on taking him into the city as well.
Lin Yueqi said, Aunty, I didnt go to school until I was six. But look. Dont I still have a job right now? Im earning money as well. I already made up my mind, so please dont try to convince me. I promise you that Im bringing a healthy little bun over and Ill bring a healthy little bun back as well. Believe me. I must bring her into the city in order for her to live a beautiful and happy life.
In just a half months worth of time, Lin Yueqi and little bun were already great friends.
She decided that not only was she going to make herself a passerby in this world, but she was going to do the same for little bun. Not only was she going to encourage herself to be an ordinary person, but she was going to do the same for little bun.
Little bun couldnt go to school that early.
From her dream, she found out that little bun had a very high IQ. At the age of 15, she was rmended to the A University. She must suppress little buns heroine halo and make sure she doesnt have good grades.
Therefore, she decided to put little plump girl in a school after she turned 6. After she goes to school, shell make sure the little chubby girl wont score first in ss.
Chapter 21 - MMP, What’s Wrong with being the Heroine? (3)
Ch.21 MMP, Whats Wrong with being the Heroine?(3)
With the above grand n, Lin Yueqi suddenly felt a heavy weight on her shoulders.
It was difficult to raise kids, especially a kid who was the second generation heroine.
Her wealthy husband will definitelye find her since she returned to the city.
She must find a way to stop Lu Ting from collecting the little chubby girls hair in private and then preventing him from conducting a DNA test.
*
When they arrived at the A City, little bun sat in the car and her face against the car window. She stared curiously at the tall buildings and the traffic ahead.
Whoa, mummy, the building is so tall. Mummy, is our home in that tall building?
She pointed at the building in the heart of the city and asked.
Lin Yueqi was leaning against the chair and sleeping, so she half-heartedly said, Yes.
The little chubby girl turned around to see that she was sleeping, so she ced her cold hands on Lin Yueqis neck. Feeling the rush of coldness, Lin Yueqi shivered and sat up straight, not in the mood to sleep anymore.
The little bun giggled at her reaction.
Lin Yueqi angrily reached over to tickle the little bun saying, You naughty girl. Do that again, I dare you!
Hahahah. Mummy, youre so mean! Youre the bully!
The mother and daughtersughter filled the car.
Xiao Ke nced at the giggling mother-daughter pair and she couldnt help but reveal a smile as well.
Although Lin Yueqi became more childish, she was happier than in the past. This was a blessing that came from this event.
Seeing that little bun was smiling happily, Big Huang also barked to reveal his excitement.
They just returned to the vi when Xiao Ke received the contract for Celebrity College Entrance Exam Competitionas well as the Termination of Contract Agreementin her email. She printed out the two contracts and had Lin Yueqi sign them.
Xiao Ke chose to stay with Lin Yueqi and apany her for the remaining time she was in the entertainment industry even though she terminated her contract with thepany. Shell think about her future prospectster on. If she really couldnt survive in this circle, then shell return home and open a supermarket as well.
She had earned quite a bit of money while working for Lin Yueqi and she had bank savings as well.
Once Lin Yueqi was done signing the contract, Xiao Ke didnt dare to dy any longer. She took the two contracts and left, bringing it to Celebrity College Entrance Exam CompetitionLin Zhongdes studio, and Maice. She found the person in charge in both ces and had them sign the contracts as well.
When Xiao Ke arrived at Lin Zhongdes studio, Qin Xue was coincidentally there as well.
The filming of Celebrity College Entrance Exam Competitionwas about to begin and Qin Xue was coincidentally here to film her poster for advertisement.
Xiao Ke came out of the office after the contract was signed and she encountered Qin Xues male assistant, Tang Haoran.
Not only was Tang Haoran, Qin Xues assistant, but her manager as well. He schemed quite a bit, but a pity that he was a loquacious sissy.
He purposely gossiped with the staff in front of Xiao Ke, saying, Hey, thats Lin Yueqis assistant, right? Her boss is already down and out, yet she dares toe out in public?
The staff asked in gossip, I heard that Lin Yueqi was only able to attend Celebrity College Entrance Exam Competitionbecause of Sister Xue?
Tang Haoran gestured about and rolled his eyes, saying, Right? It if it werent for our A-Xue, just Lin Yueqi, that rotton actress, could reveal her face on such a great show?
The staff asked, I heard that Lin Yueqi graduated from A City? That means that she probably has good grades. Isnt Sister Xue scared of Lin Yueqi stealing the spotlight?
Tang Haoran didnt object and he rolled his eyes again, saying, Heh. Our A-Xue had studied abroad. Can Lin Yueqi bepared to her? Although her university was ok, but her major was true garbage. Plus, she had taken the college entrance exam many years ago, so she probably doesnt even know how to solve linear equations and such, right?
The two seemed to be purposely talking about this for Xiao Ke to hear.
When Xiao Ke heard this, she almost angrily smashed the flower pot in their direction, but considering Lin Yueqis situation, she shouldnt provoke or cause any trouble. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and left.
The author has something to say:
Lin Yueqi: MMP. I want to throw my practice exams at their faces!
Chapter 22 - Fatty’s Revenge (1)
Ch.22 Fattys Revenge(1)
Lin Yueqi had another dream that night.
The world she was in was a romance novel from JJWXC called Sweetheart Baby: My First Rich Husband. She and her husband, Lu Ting, and her daughter, Tuantuan, were both residents of this novel.
In order to develop a stronger system, several scientists from the Putian have developed a Supporting Female Counter Attack system in defiance of thews of the universe, and unfortunately, this book was chosen to be the blueprint world for that system.
The world in this novel was equivalent to another Earth, and the humans in it lived as autonomously as the humans back on Earth.
The world of this fluff novel had already begun, and the Parallel Space-Time Authority could not bring it to ruins either.
What the scientists did not expect was that their Supporting Female Counter Attack system had its own consciousness that was so powerful that it could swallow up all the golden finger systems in the universe.
But it was not infallible. It would get hungry and also required energy. It needed to take in the negative energy of the first and second generation heroines to make itself stronger.
After Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan were sucked dry, the Supporting Female Counter Attack system became the most powerful system in the universe. It could help any passerby in the universe to be the most dazzling presence in the world.
Of course, such an illogical system could not exist. In order to destroy it and turn things around, the Space-Time Authority required the first-generation heroine, Lin Yueqi, to transmigrate back into the past.
But since all the golden fingers in the world had been devoured by the Supporting Female Counter Attack system, the Space-Time Administration couldnt offer Lin Yueqi any golden fingers and could only make her lose her memory.
What happened after that will be left to fate. The Space-Time Authority hoped that Lin Yueqi would be able to destroy the Supporting Female Counter Attack system with her heroine aura.
Lin Yueqi,
Why should a heroine like her without any cheats have the heroine aura? If it werent for that, she and Tuantuan wouldnt have had such miserable ends.
Screw the Supporting Female Counter Attack system.
Whoever wants to take over as the heroine can do it! She quits!
As with most transmigration novels, the counter-attack of the supporting female leads cant be without the entertainment circle and reality TV shows.
Qin Xue had gained some amount of resource and fan support from the golden finger system, Flourishing Beauty, and it was reasonable to say that she no longer needed to participate in the reality TV shows to consolidate her position in the entertainment circle.
Now, there were no longer any reality TV shows and big TV drama productions that dared to invite Lin Yueqi. They were all worried that Lin Yueqis career would suddenly be destroyed on TV, causing irreparable damage to their productions.
Qin Xues participated in the Celebrity College Exam Competition due to her familiarity with the organizers. With that, she was able to influence the organizers into inviting Lin Yueqi to participate.
She even gave up her paycheck for one episode so she could have Lin Yueqi participate in the Celebrity College Exam Competition with her. It can be said that she was the one who paid out Lin Yueqis pay for all three episodes.
Her Flourishing Beauty system was not at max level yet so Lin Yueqi still had some usage value in her, and so she did not have her step out from the circle. If she did, then it would be difficult for her to harvest her negative energy again.
Lin Yueqi was unfamiliar with Qin Xue, but Qin Xue couldnt be any more familiar with her.
Qin Xues original name is Bai Xue. She and Lin Yueqi came from the same county. Back then, they were both students of Mianzhou Middle School in Mianzhou City, Sichuan, and ced first and second respectively.
She was first ce, Lin Yueqi was second. She had beenpeting with her for first ce since they began middle school.
Chapter 23 - Fatty’s Revenge (2)
Ch.23 Fattys Revenge(2)
But she wasnt as pretty as Lin Yueqi. She weighed 108kg, her face was covered in e, and even if she got first ce, all she got was the teasing of her ssmates. One ssmate even told her that she would never be able topare with Lin Yueqi.
After arriving at high school, she studied even harder. She topped the rankings and though Lin Yueqi was also in the elite ss, she could only line the bottom of it.
Even so, the boys in ss would often joke that she was twice Lin Yueqis size. She would often be self-deprecating in an effort to get closer to her ssmates, and so she ended up with the nickname of funny fatty.
But nobody knew that her heart was dripping with hurt every time she joked about herself to make her ssmatesugh. None of the people around her knew what she was thinking. They thought she didnt care, and just thought that she liked being funny.
Nobody else in this world would be so generous as to allow others to make fun of their shorings. Nobody would find it funny if you ridicule them for their ws, only hurt.
The college exams. Qin Xue got a good grade, and since her father was rich, she was sent overseas to study. In just three years of going overseas, she found out that Lin Yueqi had be a local celebrity and had be famous.
Even though she was on the far side of the ocean, she still gradually developed an envious heart towards Lin Yueqi.
When she drove out to a supermarket to buy groceries, she was miffed when she saw Lin Yueqis face on the packaging of a local product from back home, and even got into a car ident on the way back because of how distracted she was.
By the time she woke up again, she found herself with the golden finger system, Flourishing Beauty.
After using the level 1 skinnifying feature and seeing herself in the mirror, she grew addicted to that feeling.
Using the systems level 1 beautifying feature, she transformed herself into a girl that was above average in terms of prettiness. In order to turn on the level 2 beautifying feature, she resolutely gave up her studies and chose to return home to participate in talent shows and entered the entertainment circle.
At first, she felt guilty towards Lin Yueqi and even thought of letting her go once she unlocked the level 3 beautifying feature.
But then, her desires grew more and more, consuming her consciencepletely.
The entertainment circle was like a big dye vat of influence, and also a ce that fermented ones desires.
Qin Xue would post anonymously on the inte, ndering Lin Yueqi, and every post sounded realistic. She would write about the things that happened to Lin Yueqi during her middle school and high school years, but they would only be half true. Even Lin Yueqis ssmates had a hard time telling the truth from the lies.
Lin Yueqi had herpetitors in the entertainment industry as well, so things werent exactly smooth sailing. She was having trouble with her career and turned on her Weibo to see a pile of negativements, but she couldnte out and exin herself. Some things would only make things worse the more she tried. Working under such circumstances, she wasnt able to keep up a good mood, and the negative energy came out naturally.
Qin Xue used her negative energy to unlock the level 2 beautifying feature.
Under the retouching effects of the level 2 beautifying feature, Qin Xues face could put her among the top ranks in the entertainment industry. Along with how shepliant she was to the rules of the inner circle and with the effort she put in, she managed to snatch away a lot of resources from Lin Yueqi.
In this circle where your face counted as everything, Qin Xue would constantly use her beauty to build connections and trip Lin Yueqi over. In contrast, a female star like Lin Yueqi who had the looks but was unwilling to ept the unspoken rules, she became a presence despised by some of the bigwigs in the circle.
Chapter 24 - Fatty’s Revenge (3)
Ch.24 Fattys Revenge(3)
Lin Yueqis acting wasnt the best in the entertainment circle, but she was the most hardworking out of all the popr female stars.
She was willing to film in cold pools during the winter, and was also willing to take on action scenes by herself that wouldst hours on end.
A year and a half ago, Lin Yueqi epted arge production movie called Absolute, and the few opening scenes were shot in the hignds. On the third day, Lin Yueqi had to bear with her altitude sickness while shooting a horseback action scene, nearly losing her life when she fell off the horses back.
But during the days when she was lying in the hospital, Qin Xue suddenly appeared. With her injury as the reason, management swapped her out.
Not only that, she was also surprised to find after the movie was released that the action scenes she shot had her facepletely snipped up by the director and used in the final cut. She had somehow turned from the heroine to one of Qin Xues stunt actresses.
It was for that reason that she did not hesitate to break rtions with thepany, offending several bigwigs and missing out on many gigs.
Her agent always advised her that she should learn toply if she didnt have the background to back her up and that it wasnt that hard to ept the rules. But she had stubborn bones and was determined not to give in. In the eyes of a passerby, she was just jealous of Qin Xue. But she never felt any jealousy for her. She just wanted to take back what was hers.
She couldnt understand why her efforts would always turn out to be futile. In the beginning, she med herself for not being good enough, and that she wasnt born good enough, nor was she outstanding enoughHer negative energy was already beginning to feed into Qin Xues system in a steady stream.
Qin Xues Flourishing Beauty system was being well nourished by her negative energy, and her beautifying index had already been upgraded to level 4 and 5 in just a year and a half.
Qin Xue continued her pursuit for victory and pulled out her trump card. Tuantuan. This caused Lin Yueqis career to fallpletely into a slump. Meanwhile, her beautifying index was upgraded from level 5 to level 6.
She thought that Lin Yueqis disfigurement this time would definitely allow her Flourishing Beauty system to break through to level 7, but she never expected it to drop from level 6 to level 4, leaving herpletely puzzled.
Qin Xue intended to use the Celebrity College Exam Competition to raised Lin Yueqis negative energy by beating her in the show.
After all, she always had better grades than Lin Yueqi in school, and with all the things happening with Lin Yueqi recently, she definitely wouldnt have had time to review her high school exam questions. She believed that at Lin Yueqis current level, the only thing she qualified to do was tutor primary school students.
But she was different. She was long ready for this. Just two days ago, she made time just to test herself on thebined paper from thest season of Celebrity College Exam Competition. The entire set consisted of 420 mixed questions and she managed to achieve 320 points. That was already enough to break the records of every other star before her.
The contents of the questions from Celebrity College Exam Competition would not be revealed to the stars, so she was convinced that she would be the highest scorer.
*
Lin Yueqi terminated her contract with herpany the next day and posted about the cancetion on Weibo.
There were fans who asked where she would go after this, and what she nned to do, but she just responded shell do things herself. All her fans thought she was joking.
A day before the shooting for Celebrity College Exam Competition, the official blog announced news of Lin Yueqis participation in the show. When the news was released, the show was boycotted by manyizens.
You could hardly find a single favorablement on their Weibo.
Chapter 25 - Fatty’s Revenge (4)
Ch.25 Fattys Revenge(4)
The hell is this? Please, lets get things straight. This is a reality show thats meant to inspire high school students, so why the hell are you suddenly dragging in some delinquent chick with a bad track record to participate?
Poster above, what kind of bad track record are you talking about? You actually believe those keyboard warriors? Our Qiqi did have an illegitimate daughter, but can that really prove that she has a messy private life? No, right? Theseizens are so easily sidetracked. To think theyre actually willing to believe that nder without any evidence. Heh.
What a joke. Lin Yueqis fans are still trying to clean up for her? The little girls birth alone is enough to prove how damn messy her private life is! What do you think happened to her dad, huh? You think he died? This all proves that Lin Yueqi herself doesnt know who the father is. Heh.
Im definitely not watching if Lin Yueqis on the show!
But this show has my Goddess Xue! My Ah Xue is a resident guest! Fine, in order to take in the face of my goddess, Ill just reluctantly watch it. I can just skip the parts with Lin Yueqis face.
+1. I have to watch it for the sake of my goddesss flourishing beauty. I seriously doubt that Lin Yueqis on this show to clean her reputation. She shows not going to give her the answers, right?
Commenter above, youre overthinking it. The reality show runs of a live broadcast format without any editing. Theres no way they can cheat. Also, the teachers who pass out the papers are also quite strict. Not even the crew have any idea whats on the test, and the level of strictness really mirrors that of the real college entrance exam.
Better be.
In order to spice things up, the show came with some interesting settings.
The first episode was recorded in the mountains where theyre divided into two teams topete against each other. Throughpleting the questions of the exam, the stars will receive keys to help them pass through the stages.
The yers who answer the questions correctly will get the keys to the current level. If Team B breaks through 10 levels more than Team A, and if Team A is unable to solve a single question, they will be penalized with a point deduction.
If Team A wants to continue the game despite being unable to answer the questions, all of them have to do 100 push-ups to get the key and move onto the next level.
They will encounter bonus questions as they advance through the levels, and the extra points they are rewarded can be used in the next episode to get through the three levels without any obstacles.
Lin Yueqi had already sorted out the rules of the show on her way to Zishan.
There will be a total of eight stars participating in the show that will be divided into two teams of four members each.
Lin Yueqi found that one of the male stars actually happened to be Wen Zhe, a member of a male idol group she was a fan of during high school. After eight years, not only has the hot twink of yesteryear Wen Zhe left the group, he even went on down to the sexy uncle route.
The Wen Zhe she saw on the photo had grown a stubble and looked very mature.
ording to Xiao Ke, this Wen Zhe had sessfully transformed himself from a singer into an actor, but all his shows were a blunder. Things have been lukewarm for him these years and he had to beg thepany for a long time before he managed to get the opportunity to join this program.
But Lin Yueqi didnt mind whether her male idol was a screw-up. Her memories of him remained as when she was 17. As far as she was concerned, Wen Zhe was still at his peak.
Lin Yueqi sat in the car and rubbed her palms, feeling a little excited.
Tuantuan didnt go to school, so naturally, she followed them to the recording venue, and she had Xiao Ke watch over her.
Chapter 26 - Fatty’s Revenge (5)
Ch.26 Fattys Revenge(5)
When Tuantuan saw Lin Yueqi rubbing her palms, she followed suit as well and said, Mama, you really like Uncle Wen Zhe, dont you? Is this uncle the guy on the poster you stuck on the wall?
Of course. Thats Wen Zhe, my male god. I have his stickers on my book covers and on my desk. Lin Yueqi held her chest and said, Man, taking the college examinations together with my male god that was once so out of reachThis is unreal.
Xiao Ke said to her with a worried face, Sis Qi, remember to stay calm when you see Qin Xueter. Dont throw yourself into a bad mood because of her and fail the exam. Just be you, dont even think about this whole thing being a show, just your normal college entrance exam when you were back in school, got it?
Lin Yueqi gave her an OK sign. Got it.
Twenty minutester, their van arrived at the foothill.
The crew and the other actors were ready to go.
As soon as she joined the crowd after changing into the school uniform prepared by the crew, she took the initiative toe to Wen Zhes side and said quietly to him, Hi, nice to meet you. Im Lin Yueqi.
Being hit on as a little-known actor, Wen Zhe felt a little surprised. He gave her a nod. Hey. Im Wen Zhe.
I know! I love your songs!
Wen Zhes career had already been a mess for many years.
Even though Lin Yueqi had been ndered online, her search numbers still remained. She was still in the first-tier list of actors. Wen Zhe was actually moved by the sincerity he could see in her eyes.
How could he not be moved when an actress with an even bigger name than him told him she liked his songs?
Lin Yueqis words were like a warm stream flowing into his heart, offering him an invisible sense offort.
Wen Zhe smiled. Thanks.
When she heard her male god thanking her, Lin Yueqis maiden heart received a direct hit, and she smiled so brightly that flowers could bloom.
Then, a notification bell suddenly rang in Qin Xues ears
Ding ding~ The heroine Lin Yueqi emitted 1 point of positive energy to you close by. You will be punished with a pimple on your chin for 12 hours.
Just as the system prompt sounded, another actress named Tang Weiwei pointed to her chin and said in surprise, Ah Xue, you have a pimple.
For anyone who was used to seeing Qing Xues flourishing beauty, it was unnatural for her to have e.
Qin Xue remained smiling as she raised a hand to touch the pimple. She forced out a smile and said, Its normal. Its just that time of the month. No matter, itll be gone after I rest for a night.
The smile in her eyes moved everyones hearts. For a peerless beauty like Qing Xue to grow a pimple made the male stars terribly worried for her.
There were eight guests. Five male stars, and three female stars.
The live broadcast of the show begun the moment Lin Yueqi got off the car.
During the broadcast, everyone had been madly spamming get out of the entertainment circle Lin Yueqi, how could an idiot like Lin Yueqi solve college entrance exam questions and so on.
But very soon, their words changed.
Ahhh, heartache for my goddess! She grew a pimple! But my goddess looks good even with a pimple! It actually looks quite pretty right on the center of her chin~
+1, Goddess looks pretty even with pimples. Truly a face of the heavens.
Ah Xue is probably the only girl who can be so pretty even with a pimple, right?
Okay okay, lets ignore Goddess e problem. Lets continue watching how Lin Yueqis going to screw herself up~ I wanna see who would actually be willing to form a team with Lin Yueqi. Theyll definitely all want to team up with the goddess, right? LMAO
Xiao Ke and Tuantuan were watching the broadcast in their van, their frowns growing deeper as they read thements.
Chapter 27 - Fatty’s Revenge (6)
Ch.27 Fattys Revenge(6)
Xiao Ke said, Heh, I really hope Qin Xues face would be covered in pimples. Well see if theyll still call her pretty. I just want to throw up every time I see her! Even in my sleep I dream of strangling her.
Tuantuan sighed and patted her shoulder. Auntie Xiao Ke, Mama taught me that you have to stay cool. It is also a punishment for you to constantly curse others and looking forward to their retribution. Look, we could be eating and drinking happily, so why do we have to keep thinking of that bad woman and make ourselves unhappy? Its better to let it go after a little scolding. Dont let the bad woman get the better of you.
To have the little girl speak to her like an adult made Xiao Ke a little embarrassed.
She rubbed her head and said, Youre so sensible, Tuantuan. It really makes me ashamed of myself.
Hehe. Mama taught me well!
At the shooting venue, they began dividing the teams.
Everyone chose to be in the same team as Qin Xue. Nobody wanted to team up with Lin Yueqi.
The director said, This isnt gonna work. I need three people toe over and team up with Lin Yueqi!
Tang Weiwei was a straightforward person and was also known for her straightness and unstoppable mouth persona on the. She muttered, Director, Its not like we dont want to team up with her. This is an exam and also apetition. We have to take this seriously for the sake of the audience. What if she drags us behind when we team up with her?
The others didnt speak but agreed silently.
Just when Lin Yueqi was feeling slightly awkward to be alone, Wen Zhe walked to her side and said to the director, Ill team up with her.
Lin Yueqi looked at him, touched.
As expected, her male god is the best.
She came to the show with no intention of winning. She just wanted to ruin her acting careerpletely.
Seeing that nobody would team up with her, she raised her hand to the director and said, Director, Im good! I can beat them all just by myself! So just let them team up. Ill take Wen Zhe and crush thempletely!
She was being loud and obnoxious on purpose.
Tang Weiwei sneered. Heh. Dont get too full of yourself or youre going to end up pping your own face! You have two and were six. How can two of you be as quick as our six brains?
Of course!
not.
She said of course confidently, but she swallowed back the word not.
Since everyone came to participate in the show, all of them must have reviewed the entrance examination questions. She couldnt be the only one who went through a dozen of those tests and also the mock exam collections, right?
Since everyone was prepared, then any two people out of Qin Xues team would be better than her, right?
The reason she said all that earlier was just so she could p her own face. Then theizens can scold her! Scold her until she was! plete! ly! ruined!
The more she loses on this show, the more she can destroy the audiences impression of her. Then, she can step out of the entertainment industry and have a better chance at bing a no-name Passerby A.
Sure enough, a group ofizens scolded her in thement section when she said those words.
Idiot. Is she taking the other guests for fools? Hah.
Please, Goddess Xue, beat her until her face swells!
Lin Yueqi had very good ns, but reality was harsh.
What she didnt expect was that out of half the guests, she was the only one who actuallypleted one of those review books and finished more than a dozen mock exams.
At most, the other stars would take out a few pieces of information to review and did a few exam sheets in their free time. Nobody went in as hard as she did.
Only she remainedpletely peerless.
Chapter 28 - Obvious Trap (1)
Ch.28 Obvious Trap(1)
From monitoring the stream, the crew found that thements would fly past madly as soon as either Lin Yueqi or Qin Xue appeared, and the view counts were also rising up.
As a result, the cameraman gave Lin Yueqi a lot of screen time. Her appearances in the stream were almost as often as Qin Xues.
When the camera moved to Qin Xue, thements went, Ahhhh, Goddess! Mom asked why Im licking the screen, its cause the screen was so tasty!
When the camera moved to Lin Yueqi, thements wrote, YuckWhats a disfigured woman like her doing in the entertainment industry? Just go home and bury your mother! Quickly give the camera back to my Goddess! I wanna lick my screen!
The red scars on Lin Yueqis right cheek and forehead could be seen on HD under the high-quality cameras.
In the half months she spent in the countryside, her Aunt Lin Yu found her an old Chinese doctor to prescribe her a few ointments. So that her nieces face could heal as quickly as possible, she made all the herbal ointments herself and even sterilized them. They were all so clean that they were edible.
Lin Yu also had some knowledge about Chinese medicine so she trusted TCM a lot. Lin Yueqi also believed that Lin Yus ointment and diet therapy was working for her, After all, her aunt was in her forties and she still had rosy skin and lustrous dark hair. Lin Yueqi believed that the reason a rural woman like her in her forties could maintain her beauty so well had a lot to do with Chinese medicine.
After the help of the topical ointment and her aunts diet, Lin Yueqis face healed without leaving any pits. There was only some redness left on her face but that will quickly disappear as her skin cells regenerate. It would only be a matter of time before she recoveredpletely.
In truth, the red marks on Lin Yueqis face were not that obvious to the naked eye. Itll be gone with just a lightyer of foundation. She would simply be dazzling in a crowd.
But god knows what she was thinking when she refused to put on any makeup with the excuse of recovering on the show. She just thered on a simpleyer of sunscreen. The blemishes on her face were magnified infinitely by the camera, which already had the tendency of making ones makeup look t. With Qin Xues flourishing beauty there as contrast, her glow was instantly taken away.
Qin Xue was in a group of six. Besides Qin Xue and Tang Weiwei, everyone else in the group were male stars. They consisted of Du Ming, Huang Ming, Song Yi, and Zhang Cheng all of whom have been famous these past few years. These men developed their careers around the film and TV industry with pretty good sess. They actually had their own selfish reasons when they agreed toe onto the show.
Everyone loved a good beauty, so whats there not to love with a beautiful girl like Qin Xue? These men were rtively sessful in the circle, so they believe that only men like them could match a star like Qin Xue. So, they joined this program in order to pursue her.
Of the male stars who participated in this episode, only Wen Zhe did not rush over to her. He really wanted to turn his career back around in this reality show. Moreover, he did like QIn Xue as well, but as a no-name actor, heHe didnt think he was qualified to like a girl as he was now.
Since he, out of all the male members who came to this show, was actually serious about his participation, only he did his studying. As for Tang Weiwei, she only came to the show because her uncle was the producer and she didnt study much either. She only did a few mock tests and reviewed her knowledge on the exam.
Inst seasons Celebrity College Exam Competition, several of the stars were unprepared and didnt do any studying, so their inability to answer the questions turned into greatedy content. So, she didnt think it was important whether she could answer the questions or not. What matters is that she shows up on the show to show off her character and show the fans her charms.
After they divided into teams, they assigned their team leaders and went to the director to collect their team gs.
The captain of Group As six-man team was naturally Qin Xue, while Wen Zhe raised his hand and voted for Lin Yueqi to lead Team B. No matter how bad Lin Yueqi was doing now, she was still much more well-known than he was so she should be the team leader.
When Qin Yue and Lin Yueqi went to get their gs, they had their first close-range head-to-head encounter.
In order to create a discussion point for the crew, Qin Yue struck up a conversation with her on purpose. Qiqi, how have you been? Good luck on thepetition.
Chapter 29 - Obvious Trap (2)
Ch.29 Obvious Trap(2)
Her smile was gentle like a spring breeze. The cameraman was almost cross-eyed from seeing her gentle smile. What an honor! He couldnt believe he could be shooting such a great beauty!
The cameraman wiped off his nosebleed and carried his equipment with hot tears in his eyes.
Thank you God, thank you director!
During the broadcast, colorfulments constantly popped up onto the screen, and gifts were constantly tossed around.
Ahhhh, Goddess flourishing beauty! I will guard Ah Xues smile with my entire life!
I will guard Ah Xues smile with my entire life!
Simr words were densely packed on the screen and nearly covered the screen.
Wow, Qin Xue, has anyone ever told you that you look really pretty when you smile? Lin Yueqi said to her while carrying the team g.
Qin Yue smiled brightly and nodded to her. Of course. Youre not the first one.
Lin Yueqi, Youre pretty enough so just cut the pretentious stuff, alright? Are we that close? You dragged Tuantuan out on purpose and exposed my rtionship to her as her mother. Then, you disfigured my face and cleverly escaped from the responsibility. After that, my oldndlord kicked me out of thepanyNow youre asking me how Ive been? Well thanks, bitch, I think Im being merciful enough that Im not bashing your head in right now!
The grabbed the colorful g resting on her shoulder and raised a fist, swinging it towards her.
Qin Xues face paled and she leaned back with a yelp, nearly toppling over. Fortunately, the young actor Zhang Cheng reached out to help her stabilize herself.
Even though she just struck out a fist towards her, she quickly retracted her hand and made it look like she was scratching the back of her head. She put on a puzzled look, saying, Woah, whats wrong, you opportunistic bitch? Im just trying to scratch my head, what are you so scared? Damn, you must have done a lot of bad things, havent you? Theres one thing I always tell my daughter. You should remember it too.
The directors face turned white as a sheet. He was constantly shaking a whiteboard outside of the filming area that had a message written on top, saying, Shut up! Were live!
Of course Lin Yueqi knew this was live. She just wanted to let herself go, so this was all deliberate. She wanted everyone who was watching this broadcast to throw rotten eggs at her and make her make it so she could never continue her life in the entertainment circle. Even if her father shows upter, he wouldnt be able to clean up her mess and allow her to rise up again in the industry.
She swept a faint nce at the directors whiteboard and continued to scratch her head. If a person does good, then even if they are yet to be blessed, misfortune stays far. If a person does evil, then even if misfortune has note, blessing remains far. Dont think that your pretty face can hide all your ugliness. That ugliness under your pretty skin has long be rotten and disgusting.
After finishing that paragraph in earnest, Lin Yueqi was like a child, spitting out her tongue at her. Blehhhh.
Someone in thement section wrote:
I actually thought Lin Yueqi was a little cute. Am I crazy?
Yes, youre crazy.
Yes, youre crazy.
Yes, youre crazy.
Qin Yue was so pissed that her face turned red, but she could only put on the Im so wronged white lotus look. Her voice sounded like she was crying as she said, Qiqi, youre misunderstanding me
Before she could even finish, Lin Yueqi raised a hand to interrupt her. Go, shoo. Stop acting like a white lotus in front of me. I dont buy that. If you were just a bit nicer, I might even be able to marry you with a face like that! But youre rotten to the bones. But that bitch smell of yours disgusts me. Blech
Marry you? What? Theizens were all confused. ??
All the crew members there were dumbfounded. Is Lin Yueqi crazy? Is she actually insane?
Director,
In the face of Lin Yueqis serious usations and uncaring insults, Wen Zhe had no idea by, but he actually enjoyed it? He began to wonder. Did Qin Xue really do all that?
Zhang Cheng who was holding onto Qin Xue immediately stepped up for his crush, responding angrily to Lin Yueqi, You lunatic! Do you know what youre saying? Dont you have any self-respect as an idol? Youll soil your own child like this!
Hey uncle, my child is smart and polite, guaranteed top of the bunch in the vige so dont worry. At the very least, I wont educate my child into a snake like this Mary Sue here with a face that can topple a country.
Zhang Cheng, Uncle my ass! Im a whole year younger than you!
The other actors,
As a woman just like them, Tang Weiwei took a nce at Qin Xue when she heard Lin Yueqis stomping confession, then she began looking at Lin Yueqi with sympathy.
Chapter 30 - Obvious Trap (3)
Ch.30 Obvious Trap(3)
Lin Yueqi did not appear sad or even overly emotional when she said those words. Instead, she had a teasing look in her eyes, and she was also very calm. With her abilities as an actor, it was entirely possible for her to put on the angry crying act to make things more believable to others.
But she did no such thing. She just calmly expressed her contempt for Qin Xue.
And it was also this kind of tant disdain that made people on the sidelines suspicious of Qin Xue. They began to wonder, did Qin Xue really do all that to Lin Yueqi?
Thement section was silent all of a sudden. Everyone seemed to be considering that possibility.
One of Lin Yueqis fans was the first to break the silence. My heart goes out to my goddess! Has she finally snapped? I knew you were set up by Qin Xue! The entertainment circle is a mess! So what if a woman like Qin Xue is pretty? Shes evil and rotten to the bones!
Immediately after that, Qin Xues fans began to pack on the heat.
Come on, cant you be a little smarter with your clean-up tactics, Lin Yueqi? So is this how youre going to climb back up after you lost your team?
Yeah, and youre trying to boast about your childs education? What happened to that when your baby was getting abused? Youre the vilest mother. Disgusting, you stink!
Hurry up and kick Lin Yueqi out the next episode! I dont want to see her anymore!
Everyone was posting the poop reaction on thements.
The two teams began going up the mountain on each of their sides.
There were 26 levels in total with a myriad of questions to beat. The crew originally expected to go through the 26 levels in a span of 3 days, but if the stars dont do well, they might have to drag it on for two more days. In order to avoid any incidents, there were crew members stationed on the mountain.
After they went up the hill, the director wiped his sweat and said to his assistant, Kick that lunatic Lin Yueqi straight out in the next episode.
Meekly, the assistant director said to him, But the viewers in the broadcast shot straight up to ten million when Lin Yueqi insulted Qin Xue! Shes ruining her own image, but our traffic is going up.
The director fell silent and began to stare at the monitor.
At the first level, two staff members stood on each side of the hill, looking over a chalkboard.
Thenguage question above wrote:
A, Out of the dotted words below, the groups with the correct readings are ()
Lin Yueqi both looked at the question at the same time, and after sweeping a nce at the options, Wen Zhe grabbed the chalk and said, Easy. Its A.
On the other side, the group of six unanimously agreed that they should choose A and handed the chalk to Qin Xue.
Tang Weiwei said, What kind of simple-minded question is this? Definitely A.
Qin Xue took the chalk and wrote down A on the chalkboard. She arched her eyebrows and smiled. Simple indeed. Practically a bonus question.
However, as soon as she wrote down option A, they received a warning beep, notifying them that they answered incorrectly. Since this was a multiple-choicenguage question, they did not have any more chances to retry and could only be stuck there for 15 minutes. After that time passed, they can try again.
On Lin Yueqis side, Wen Zhes hand that was about to write the option A on the chalkboard was given a p on the back of his hand.
He retracted his hand and looked confused. Pitifully, he looked at Lin Yueqi. ??
Lin Yueqi picked up the chalk and wrote down option D before exining to him, My god, did your math teacher teach you duringnguage ss? You didnt notice such an obvious trap? The right answer is D. The letter on the back of option As (qi) is not read as qi, but pi in the third tone. God, I really doubt you actually studied!
She grabbed the chalk and circled the word ܡ and tapped the chalk on the board. Remember this word, it mighte up againter. There might be a reason why this word appeared in the first stage.
Wen Zhe pursed his mouth and was just about to refute, but he heard the ding ding sounding from the speaker.
Correct. Key granted. Please move forward.
Qin Xue and the others must have finished long ago on such a simple question, right? She let Wen Zhe hold the pen on purpose just to waste time. She wanted to get the question wrong on purpose, but this question was simply too easy that she couldnt bear to get it wrong. QAQ
Chapter 31 - Qin Xue “Disfigured” by P
Ch.31 Qin Xue Disfigured by Positive Energy(1)
Wen Zhe took the key from the crew member and unlocked the door of the first level.
On the other side, Qin Xues had an instant face pping from getting the answer wrong and was blushing to the ears.
But her fans were still awkwardly cheering her on in thements:
Wow, Goddess was instantly pped in the face hahaha so cute.
LMAO, the goddess being pped in the face is too cute. She graduated many years ago after all, its normal to make mistakes. I dont even recognize most of the words in the options ahaha.
Hahahaha Goddess blushing from the face-pping is too cute.
The broadcast was in split-screen form, recording both sides at the same time. Lin Yueqis team made up a contrast with Qin Xues six-man team with their correct answer.
Lin Yueqis fans were saying, Eh? My Qiqi actually got it right? Look how dumbfounded Wen Zhe looks hahaha.
Qin Xues fans bit back, Shes just lucky. If she can answer this quickly for theter questions then Ill call her my father! My Goddess Xue graduated from Americas A University. Shell definitely crush Lin Yueqi on the science questions.
Both Lin Yueqi and Wen Zhe was climbing up the hill to the second checkpoint on the screen.
The second level was a geography question, answered in essay form.
Question: The graph below shows the changes in water levels in th e section of the river connecting the Poyang Lake to the Yangtze River during the year of the flood. Refer to the diagram below to answer the question. (image)
(1) Name the most likely time period for when the flooding happened and give a brief analysis of the possible natural causes of the flood.
(2) Describe important measures that can be taken to prevent flooding in Binhus agricultural zones.
The crew member gave them a sheet of white paper each so the two could write down their answers and discuss it with each other. Once they were done, they can pick out their best answers and pass them up.
While Wen Zhe buried himself into writing out his analysis, Lin Yueqi rested her forehead on one of her palms while spinning her pen on her other hand.
While spinning her pen, many of her childhood memories gradually came back to her.
Everyone looked at the bare-faced star and none of them felt that she was being pretentiously cute at all. She lifted up her pen and began doodling on her paper, so the crew member had to remind her, Miss Lin, you should take this chance to answer the question. Please dont doodle on the paper.
After being called out by a crew member, theizens criticized her on thement section again. However, they actuallyughed while they typed out theirments.
But it wasnt augh of ridicule. Instead, Lin Yueqi being called out for doodling on her test sheet brought the memories of many back to their school days.
Inside the van, Xiao Ke was sweating bullets as she watched Lin Yueqis performance.
She wiped the thinyer of sweat from her forehead and sighed, Sis Qi didnt really go crazy, did she? Shes doodling on the exam?
Tuantuan was seated cross-legged on the chair. While ying with her chubby feet, she said, I think its okay as long as Mamas happy.
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief and her hands to her chest,menting in a childish voice, I, Lin Tuantuan, am wucky to have a good mama like her~ Mama looks pwetty even when shes having problems with a question!
Lucky, you mean, Xiao Ke corrected her and sighed. Well, arent you good with ttery? You actually think your mamas doing good at a time like this?
Why not? She blinked her big, clear eyes, and asked in return.
Xiao Ke couldnt be bothered to argue with this kid. She couldnt even bear to continue watching the broadcast.
Chapter 32 - Qin Xue “Disfigured” by Positive Energy (2)
Ch.32 Qin Xue Disfigured by Positive Energy(2)
Twenty minutes passed. Team A finally passed the first checkpoint and headed for the second level.
After they arrived, everyone was stunned when they saw the geography question. Tang Weiwei said, This is a difficult question, isnt it? Even if we do write an answer, we may not be able to score.
Qin Xue nodded. What about this? Each of us will write a few paragraphs of our analysis, then well gather to discuss the correct answer. Any thoughts?
Of course, the men nodded withoutment. They would definitely obey the words of their goddess.
However, the answers they came up with after the meeting were all wrong, perfectly evading the correct answer.
The live audience:
Thats okay. I believe that my goddess is a top student. This is a literature question and my goddess majors in science, right? Goddess will definitely be able to bag the math, chemistry, and physics problems at the back counter that Lin Yueqi! No, thats not right. It seems like Lin Yueqi was stuck on the second level too, LMAO. She hasnt even submitted an answer yet. At least Goddess passed in her answer.
Yeah, thats right! You go, Goddess! Youre the best! That dog shit Lin Yueqi hasnt even written a single word!
I feel bad for Wen Zhe, writing a full page as a science student. He gave so many answers but Lin Yueqi wouldnt even participate.
Heartache for Wen Zhe
Just as theizens were all feeling bad for Wen Zhe, Lin Yueqi also began to feel bad for him too.
After he filled up an entire page full of different analyses, he showed them to Lin Yueqi and said, Take a look at what I wrote. Well discuss them and then well pass them up.
Lin Yueqi frowned after taking a look and said, All wrong. Then, she continued to doodle.
Wen Zhes efforts were all denied but the other party was still doodling without care. Shes just like a high school student doodling in the exam hall because she couldnt do the questions!
Feeling that he had just chosen a useless teammate, Wen Zhe was angry. Lin Yueqi, youre very aplished in your acting career and I respect you for that. Even if youre being criticized by the entire, you still receive more attention than any other average actor. This program may be nothing to you, but getting this opportunity wasnt easy for a normal actor like me, and I really cherish it. If you cant do this question, I will. I just want you to discuss the answer with me. Is that so hard?
Lin Yueqi waspletely frozen on the spot after being scolded. She saw the slightly red eyes of his male god and twirled her pen in a daze.
Due to theseplex emotions, she turned her pen faster, and faster.
Finally, with a bang, Lin Yueqi mmed her pen on the table.
The girl lifted her face, and what the audience saw was her slightly red eyes that appeared as if she was going to cry, with tears circling within them.
After all, being faced with such harsh admonishment, she appeared a little overwhelmed, understandable as she only had the EQ of a 17-year-old after all.
She stood up instantly and bowed to Wen Zhe in a firm ny-degrees. Im sorry! I didnt realize that my wilfulness had affected you.
Wen Zhe was shocked by her deep bow and immediately stood up and said, II didnt mean to me you. I just wanted you to be more serious. You
Lin Yueqi straightened her body and raised a fist. Male God! For your sake, Ill also work hard on the questions andplete all the levels! Lets do this together!
Wen Zhes mouth twitched. Yeahlets do this So, when did he turn into Lin Yueqis Male God?
Chapter 33 - Qin Xue “Disfigured” by Positive Energy (3)
Ch.33 Qin Xue Disfigured by Positive Energy(3)
Thement section was just about to mock Lin Yueqi, but when the camera captured the doodles on her paper, there were no words on top. They were actually a collection of One Piece characters!
The strokes were clear and precise, with each figure painted in an unmistakable vividness.
Lin Yueqi was also shocked that she could actually draw so well.
She always liked drawing since she was young but her family couldnt afford to send her to sses. But she had always been fond of drawing her favorite anime characters as a child. Over time, she could draw them easily, but she always thought her doodles were too ugly to show off.
When theyizens saw her drawings, they forgot to even scold her anymore. Everyone was saying, Holy shit! Pro!
Such words scrolled through the screen for a while before theizens came back to their senses and began getting ready to barrage her, only to see Lin Yueqi pick up her pen and writing down the answer on the paper.
While writing, she would even say to Wen Zhe, I really like your songs. Theres always so much soul in the songs you sing, and Ive liked you since I was in my first year in high school. Its been so many years, and I feel very honored you chose me as your teammate. Dont worry, I wont let your efforts go to waste. If youre going in serious, then I will too!
She wrote with a frown on her brow and said with a serious face, This is actually a really simple question. Not difficult at all. The key point to the first question is to judge the characteristics of the water level of both theke and the river at different times ording to the diagram. Then,pare the two curves, and we can see that the water level of the river in June and July is higher than that of theke, which makes it prone to waterlogging.
So, the answer is that it happens from June to September, during the summer and autumn seasons. The low-lying terrain and poor drainage results in high and focused precipitation during the rainy seasons of that period. Both the river and theke will be at a high water level which makes it difficult for theke to drain out, or even for the river to flush back into theke.
For the second question, we can analyze the possible measures to deal with the flooding near Binhus agricultural zone in both the engineering and non-engineering sides. Flood and drainage systems can be improved by reducing agriculturalnds to make way for theke.
It is also possible to reduce the damaged area by cultivating and promoting hardy crops, as well as adjusting farming systems andnd use patterns. But of course, theres also the possibility of providing disaster prevention education to increase monitoring levels to provide early warnings.
When Lin Yueqi said lets do this, Qin Xues system suddenly received 2 points of positive energy damage.
Qin Xue heard a system notification in her ears sounding, Ding ding~ Heroine Lin Yueqi emitted positive energy twice in a day. The system will now punish you! Your mouth will swell for 24 hours.
At the sound of the system prompt, Qin Xues mouth suddenly began to tingle. She reached out to scratch it and it felt like some pus was oozing out.
The yellow fluid stained the foundation around her lips and it felt sticky to the touch.
Qin Xue was just about to take out her mirror but the star Zhang Cheng who had juste over to see her answers suddenly jumped. He pointed in shock at her mouth. YourYour mouth!
She covered her mouth subconsciously.
WhatWhat happened to her mouth? Isnt it swollen? Why is there a sticky fluid flowing out?
Chapter 34 - The Winner (1)
Ch.34 The Winner(1)
When the cameraman caught Qin Xues lips, he was shocked and quickly moved the camera out of the way and recorded Tang Weiwei instead.
From Zhang Chengs reaction, Qin Xue realized how serious it was. She immediately covered her mouth with her hand to hide it from anyones sights.
Being punished twice in a day was something she had never experienced before, and the recent string of set-backs made Qin Xue feel puzzled.
But of course, she knew since she began using this system that though the Flourishing Beauty system had many functions, it also came with various terrifying punishments. She had been very careful with the system since the beginning, but as Lin Yueqi easily fell into her traps, her smooth ride thus far nearly made forget that the punishments even existed.
So what is constantly causing Lin Yueqis positive energy to soar?
It was only after she covered her mouth that Zhang Cheng came back to his senses and immediately adjusted his own emotions. At the same time, he also realized that he had acted a little inappropriately just now. He immediately took out a tissue and handed it to her, asking quietly, Are you having an allergic reaction to something?
With her mouth covered, the other parts of Qin Xue still looked beautiful.
If a normal-looking star was to rece her and her lips swelled with pus like that, then she would probably lose her fans and incur the hate of the audience. But for Qin Xue who had the perfect body and character, her admirers would still protect her when such problems arose, worrying over her health or if she had gotten allergic to something.
After all, the image of her beauty is so ingrained in their minds that it was a little difficult to crush her perfection in their minds so quickly. The one most affected by the pus and swelling of her mouth was Qin Xue, causing her to suffer a considerable amount of psychological shock.
The system wanted her to know that she had to take Lin Yueqi seriously. This was its warning to Qin Xue that if she continued underestimating her, then it wouldnt end with just the swelling next time. Her body may go out of shape or her face may be covered in e. It could also be a variety of other nasty punishments.
Due to the sudden situation, Qin Xue stopped filming for the moment and her assistant came up to her, helping her over to the side so she could rest. The crew had also called a doctor toe check on her.
While waiting for the doctor, Qin Xue took out a mirror to check. Only then did she realize that her lip wasnt only swollen and jutting out, there were sacs of pus covering the surface just like herpes. Due to her identally rupturing one of them, the yellow sticky fluid flowed out and blended out the foundation around her lips.
She felt goosebumps rising on her scalp. Even though this seemed just like an ident caused by an illness to an outsider, and that she would only be ugly for a short moment, the pus-filled swelling of her mouth came as a great shock to her.
Her mind began to run amok when she thought back to Zhang Chengs horrified expression.
Will Zhang Cheng and her fans be disgusted with her after seeing her swollen mouth? Would they call her an ugly girl behind her back?
Would theyNegative thoughts like that kept running through her mind, and her constant negative imagination made her feel as if she had gone back to her school days were she wasughed at by everyone.
Let me wipe it for you, Ah Xue. Her assistant, Tang Haoran took out a wet paper towel and helped her wipe the yellowish fluid. But the instant he reached over, images of her ssmatesughing at her andmitting school violence against her seemed to pop up in front of Qin Xue all of a sudden.
She couldnt control her emotions and suddenly raised her foot, throwing him out of the gazebo with a kick to the chest.
Tang Haoran rolled down the gazebo stairs and fell t on his face. If it wasnt for the quick hands of the crew by the side helping Tang Haoran up, then he mightve rolled down the slope and turned half-paralyzed.
Qin Xue moved the paper towel to her mouth and frowned. Wheres the doctor! When are theying!
The crew was shocked by her actions and quickly humbled themselves, answering, The doctor will be here soon!
Zhang Cheng, Tang Weiwei, and the others also happened to see themotion while they were trying to solve the question, and they all frowned.
Holding her pen, Tang Weiwei secretly thought to herself, Woah, isnt it just some swelling? Does she really need to be that angry? If she gets disfigured like Lin Yueqi, then wouldnt she just kill herself?
Chapter 35 - The Winner (2)
Ch.35 The Winner(2)
Even though she like Qin Xues face as well and admired her for it, seeing her kick her own assistant down the stairs because of the swelling on her mouth suddenly made her develop a sense of disgust towards her.
Then, she remembered when Lin Yueqi scolded her without caring about her own image. With this contrast, she was even beginning to believe Lin Yueqis words and found her empty self-confidence even more likable.
Several of the male actors, including Zhang Cheng, couldnt help but frown at Qin Xues behavior of kicking her assistant down the stairs, and they all frowned
Even though the fans in the audience couldnt see Qin Xues current condition, the crews opinion of her dropped a lot.
After checking Qin Xues mouth, the doctor determined that it was a severe case of shingles.
And she couldnt rupture the blisters either as the entire surrounding area would get infected if the pus flows out, growing more and more
Even if some sort of godly doctor were to help her apply some ointment, she still wouldnt be able to recover quickly. After all, this was the systems punishment. She just bore with it and wore a mask on the show.
After putting on the mask, the only parts of Qin Xues face that were revealed were her charming eyes and nose bridge.
Many fans had also caught a glimpse of the pus flowing out of Qin Xues swollen lips. Many of them were shouting, OMG! That made me jump!. But soon, everyonesments were taken onto the right path by Qin Xues PR team and began worrying for her.
What happened to Ah Xue? Is she sick?
She must have low immunity. I get blisters on my mouth when my immune system lowers in the winter too. Seems like Ah Xue has been working hardtely. She has to take good care of her body!
Take good care of your body+1
I wish I could suffer in ce of Ah Xue. She has to take good care of her body and be a beautiful little angel!
Everyones attention is on Qin Xues blisters, is nobody even paying attention to how Lin Yueqi is answering all those questions?! Shit, shes actually pretty badass. Is she a liberal arts student? Any science student would be dead in front of a question like that! They wont even be able to answer!
Its not that surprising that a liberal arts student can answer a question like this, right? Just keep watching. If she can answer science questions this fast as well then Ill kneel and call her my dad!
Let me just weakly sayLin Yueqi is amazing. Im a liberal arts student and even I cant reach that stage. Her answers are practically the model answers. QAQ
*
At the same time, Lin Yueqi had no idea that the positive energy produced by her lets do this actually attacked Qin Xues system. She also had no idea that Qin Xue would be wearing her mask for the next two days.
It wasnt until Lin Yueqi passed the fully filled-up piece of paper to Wen Zhe that he finally came back to his senses.
After reading through the answers, he was looking at her in a new light. Lin Yueqis answers were logical and neatly-written. Her analysis was full and her presentation was very professional. In one nce, it seemed like a model answer, and it also gave him a sense of safety.
Theizens of the broadcast room were allmenting when they saw Wen Zhes eyes.
LOLOLOL Wen Zhe is so confused! He thought his teammate was a bronze but she was a challenger hahaha, quickly pass up the answer! You guys got this one in the bag!
Omg, Im dying hahaha! Isnt Wen Zhes reaction too cute? Who dares say my natural dork Wen Zhe is a has-been! Drag them out and beat them for ten minutes!
Wen Zhe is taking this show so seriously, you can tell hes working hard. His spirit is really worth learning for all of us. You go, Wen Zhe!
Go Wen Zhe! Submit Lin Yueqis answer! Her answer is correct! Hahaha!
Wen Zhe handed the answer tentatively to the crew. After a few minutes, a ding ding tone sounded. Your answer is correct, no points deducted. Perfect pass.
When Wen Zhe got the key, the look on his face when he turned around to look at Lin Yueqi wasplicated.
Seeing his expression, Lin Yueqi quickly bowed again in apology. Im sorry! I was the one who neglected your efforts. I didnt have any team spirit and only cared about myself. But dont worry! Ill work hard on solving the questions after this!
In order to ruin her own reputation, she deliberately wanted to lose, but she ended up ignoring her teammates instead. She felt very ashamed when she realized her own willfulness.
She thought that her career must be ruined after appearing in front of the camera without any makeup and even scolding Qin Xue at the foothill. She didnt even need to try that hard on the answering section. After all, theres no way someone like Qin Xue who graduated from a fancy university would lose to a high schooler like her, right?
Chapter 36 - The Winner (3)
Ch.36 The Winner(3)
When she thought of this, Lin Yueqi was relieved again. Since Wen Zhe chose her, even if she cant win over Qin Xue in the stages, shell still try her best and answer them seriously.
Shell show the audience that even someone half-assed like her can turn serious from Wen Zhes motivation. Maybe Wen Zhe might gain some poprity from this?
Thinking that, Lin Yueqi became even more determined to go through the stages seriously.
But she would never have expected, however, that the so-called fancy university graduate really couldnt match up with a high schooler like her.
Following that, Lin Yueqi and Wen Zhe got past the fifth stage in one breath. When they arrived at the sixth stage, Qin Xue and her gang were still stuck at the fourth stage.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth stages were all maths questions. In order to ensure that they can pass on the first try, Lin Yueqi would always get Wen Zhes own thoughts and solutions before offering a different perspective. So, they used two ways to solve the maths questions in the maths questions after that.
Wen Zhe was stunned by her solutions and couldnt help but sigh, The solutions youe up with are clearer than mine. Youre smart.
Youre not bad either! Lin Yueqi felt somewhat embarrassed to be praised by her male god and was blushing up to her ears.
Theter questions consisted of English listening questions, chemistry, and physicsFor the English bits, they relied on Wen Zhe for those. But he didnt seem to have the right skills to solve the chemistry and physics questions.
These questions were so difficult that even if he tried his best, he would stille to a wrong answer in the end. Fortunately, he had Lin Yueqis all-round massacre, and they went through all the questions smoothly.
When Lin Yueqi saw the topics, her mind was filled with joy and excitement.
Damn, I did a simr one just the other day!
Damn, they have this one too?
Damn, arent these too easy? Is this really the college entrance exam? Do they really have that many simr questions during the exam? That makes no sense! QAQ
Damn, these questions are too easy. Qin Xues 6-man team shouldve reached the top already, right?
The director and theizens who were staring at their monitors were all dumbfounded when they saw Lin Yueqi answering the questions as if she was on god mode.
The assistant director watched Lin Yueqi on the screen and gulped. He turned his head to the director and said, Their 2-man group is reaching the top soon. Theyre 35 stages ahead of Team AIsnt that too much? At this rate, the recording of the show might be over before tomorrow.
Wen Zhe wasnt too popr so the only reason he was allowed on the show was that the crew wanted to test him. His entrance exam capabilities far surpassed all the stars in thest season.
So, when Wen Zhe and Lin Yueqi formed their 2-man group, the director didnt stop them. He felt that Team B likely wouldnt fall too much behind with Wen Zhe around.
But now, not only was Team B notgging behind, they were massacre-ing their way through, going up the hill unhindered as if they were running on cheats.
The production crew had a rule that the episode had to end when one team reaches the top. Plus, the live reality show didnt go by any scripts in order to retain fairness. However, this ended up leaving them with the blunder of Lin Yueqis hidden boss-like appearance.
The director wiped his sweat and said, There are two stages left, no hurry. Thest two questions will keep them
Before he could finish, Lin Yueqi had already passed up her answer sheet to the secondst question and said cheerfully, Going through the entire 5-3 review books and more than a dozen mock exams in one go was useful after all! We actually came across simr questions!
?? Wen Zhe thought that he had heard wrong. What did you say? More than a dozen? Whats 5-3?
Seeing that the sky was turning dark soon and being told they still had one final stage, Lin Yueqi quickened her steps and headed up. While jogging up the stairs, she said, Yeah. What did you think Ive been doing during my one month break? You havent heard of 5-3? Its the nickname for the 5 Year Entrance Exams 3 Year Mock Tests review book!
Wen Zhe felt a tightness in his chest and subconsciously held it. Gulping down his surprise, he asked, You seem pretty good in both the science and liberal arts questions. Howd you manage that?
Its normal, right? I have no partiality to subjects. The courses we took for our batch of examinees arent separated by major.
Lin Yueqi knew that arts and school courses were divided by majors these days.
*
The 6-man Team A was still stuck halfway up the hill. Qin Xue was distracted because of her shingles and was not in good condition. Moreover, her other teammates were all flunkies. They were barely able to get through with Qin Xues help on the early math questions, but when it came to the physics questions, it was almost impossible for them to get the right answer.
Chapter 37 - The Winner (4)
Ch.37 The Winner(4)
When the crew notified them that Team B had already passed them by over 10, 20, and 30 stages, they finally panicked and basically abandoned answering the questions. They began relying on doing push-ups to get the keys instead. However, these 100 push-ups arent things that a normal person could manage. Even if they werent standard push-ups, it was still difficult to trudge through.
The four guys said they could manage the push-ups and that it was better than using their brains, but the other two girls felt that it was better for them to focus on answering the questions than doing push-ups.
As a result, a dispute arose between the two parties. Even if they deliberately suppressed their emotions in front of the camera, it was impossible to hide the sense of awkwardness they were disying.
A member named L posted ament in the broadcast room mocking the scene. The team scatters as soon as they encounter any difficulties and the team leader only cares about protecting her own image. She doesnt even care about the questions. Its normal for them to lose. There are parts of Lin Yueqi we can admire. She gives casual viewers a good feeling when they see her participate in shows like these.
The Supreme Membership was only avable to members who have tipped a total of more than ten million, and theirments basically covered the entire screen. The entire world would see it when their message popped up.
And in the entire Jinjiang streaming tform, there was only one single Supreme Member.
This person was no stranger to anyone. He was the boss of Jiachen Media, Li Xing.
Jiachen Media had a very high standing in the country currently and theirpany never choose their artists lightly. All the actors under their belt are all big names and they offered them good resources.
After the big boss spoke, theizens quickly followed along.
Is Big Boss Li doing this to scorn Qin Xue? Or to praise Lin Yueqi?
I think Big Boss Li is rightQin Xue may be beautiful, but she cant just be distracted because she had a bit of swelling on her mouth during the exam right? What a disappointment. Look at Lin Yueqi on the other hand. She came out with a disfigured face without even hiding it with makeup but isnt she working hard and serious? Its almost like shes an actual high schooler working hard for their entrance exams! Shes so hardworking! I stan her!
UmmmmmmYoure all stanning Lin Yueqi just like that? Dont forget about her illegitimate daughter and her escort days in college. Someone like her can never clean up their image.
As a student facing my college entrance exams, I can feel a positive energy radiating from Lin Yueqi. She inspires me. Even when the entire is ndering her she still does her best in answering the questions and even went through mocks exams and review books. I think even I as an examinee wont be able to do as good as her. Alright Im not gonna talk anymore, I need to go study up now. QAQ
DamnFeels like Lin Yueqi is working hard. QAQ My god, its rare to see a hardworking girl like her. To think she studies like a demon just for a TV show!
Those who are familiar with Lin Yueqi probably know that she took up boxing for an entire year just for a fight scene in a movie. Thats also the source of her abs and good figure. She really works hard in everything she does.
Commenter above can you stop your bullshit? Youre even trying to praise a rotten thing like Lin YueqiHeh.
AhhhhLin Yueqi is at the top!!! She actually answered the final question in fifteen minutes! Ahhhh shit, Im suddenly getting positive vibes from her! Even besides that, she works really hard as an actress!
Just as Lin Yueqi watched in disbelief as Wen Zhe stuck their g at the top of the hill, the topic also quickly sprang up on Weibo, and the viewer count instantly skyrocketed again because of her.
#Lin Yueqi reached the top in the entrance exampetition in one day#
#Lin Yueqi is the champion of the entrance exampetition, surpassing Qin Xue by 38 stages#
The author has something to say:
Pretty gloomy today, but I wrote nearly 5000 words! I have to learn from Qiqi, positive energy everyday! Go! If you havent done your homework, do it now!
I dont think just having a swollen mouth is enough for Qin Xue to lose fans. Its unrealistic. If your idol has shingles during a live stream will you stop liking them? No, right~ So the revolution has yet to seed! Qiqi still needs to work hard!
Chapter 38 - Tuantuan and the “Kidnapper” Uncle (1)
Ch.38 Tuantuan and the Kidnapper Uncle(1)
When that piece of news came out, all theizens waiting to watch the rerun were all confused. They had no idea what was going on and all ran over to watch the broadcast.
And so, the traffic for the live stream skyrocketed.
Theizens who yed back the footage of Lin Yueqi doing all the questions quickly were also stunned by her fierce and swift operation.
A month finishing 5-3 and more than a dozen mock tests? What kind of amazing motivation and diligence was that? Lin Yueqi, are you a devil?
My God! I seriously gotta give it to Lin Yueqi! Big Boss Li is right. Lin Yueqis dedication alone makes her a good pick for the show. She brings a positive energy to all the youth.
She must be bragging, right? I really dont believe a normal person can finish 5-3 and a bunch of mock exams. Did she even eat drink or sleep?
Whether its true or false, its fact that she dropped Qin Xue 38 stages behind her. Didnt Qin Xue graduate from A University? How did youg so many stages behind Lin Yueqi? UghIm starting to question those scandals on the inte now. Im also starting to wonder if what Lin Yueqi said at the foothill was trueSpeaking of which, Lin Yueqi never came forward to give her response from the very beginning. Maybe she really does have her difficulties? What a hardworking and dedicated girl
As if. It just proves that theres something wrong with her if she never came forward to speak about it! Stop trying to clean her reputation, Lin fans, youre just making her look worse.
The sun was slowly going down, forming a wonderful view at the top of the mountain. The burning clouds in the sky and the maple forest reflected as a field of red int heir eyes.
Climbing up the hill and doing the questions took up so much physical and mental energy that they wouldnt be able to go down tonight and could only rest in a tent.
The crew started a campfire and prepared them some convenience food.
Lin Yueqi and Wen Zhe both gathered around the fire, enjoying their instant noodles. It can be seen that both of them were starved.
After taking a few big bites of noodles, she looked up and asked the other with food still in her mouth, YouDont you find instant noodles difficult to eat?
What about you? Arent you enjoying yourself too? Wen Zhe stirred the noodles in his bowl while he asked.
Lin Yueqi raised her brows andughed. You have no idea what sort of delicacy instant noodles are for a child from a poor family. I didnt really like studying as a kid, but my aunt told me that if I got first ce, then she would buy me the instant noodle bowls they advertise on the TV. Thats why I studied hard and got first ce. When I brought my report back that night, my aunt heated up a bowl of instant noodles for meplete with ham and a fried egg. Our vige hasnt been developed as a tourist attraction at that time and was very poor, so I was the first child in the vige to eat instant noodles.
She held the bowl of instant noodles and allowed the steam to blow on her face, her lips curving into a smile. I only found out many yearster that my aunt used the money for her bus ride to the city to sell rice to buy me that bowl of instant noodles. She didnt have any money to ride the bus, so she hiked to town with a basket of rice and eggs on her back. The mountain roads are so difficult to hike through, I can almost imagine how hard she must have worked, and also realized the weight of that bowl of instant noodles. I began studying properly after that. I didnt do too bad in middle school, and I got second ce in the county during my middle school exams. I thought I was a tough student, but I realized what they meant when they said that theres always a higher mountain when I arrived at my high school in Mianzhou City. All my ssmates were rich and they were tutored since they were young, so they all had a boost at the starting line. I remember when I was in my freshman year of high school, I was the only one who couldnt afford the tuition fees so I secretly stood by the windows and listened. But my ssmates found out and I got teased for a long time
Looking at her, Wen Zhe did not realize that her family was in such a rough situation.
Chapter 39 - Tuantuan and the “Kidnapper” Uncle (2)
Ch.39 Tuantuan and the Kidnapper Uncle(2)
Smiling, Lin Yueqi said, Its true. I didnt think I could live so well now. Even if I had to pay the contract vition fee for what happened to my face, I still have millions! I have my car, my house, and even instant noodles to eatI really want to thank everyone who gave me this life. So, to me, happinesses in the form of a bowl of instant noodles. I hope that I can earn more money in the future so that Tuan-jie and my aunt can eat instant noodles every dayOh, Tuan-jie can eat three bowls of meat in one meal! I dont even know if shell fancy my instant noodles.
Theizens in the audiencemented, Nani?? That little fat girl can eat three bowls of meat in one meal? Isnt bowl a bit of an exaggeration?
What kind of mother even nders their own daughter like that?
Remembering her difficult past, Lin Yueqi brought her bowl of noodles up. The light of the campfire illuminated her face, and her dark eyes glistened in a moving sight.
However, unbeknownst to both Lin Yueqi and Wen Zhe, the camera was still rolling and recording in the direction of both of them at the campfire. Even though thepetition was over, they decided to record some extras of their two champions to discuss the next scenario since they ended early.
But none of this wasmunicated to them by the crew.
Wen Zhe looked at her and said, Youre amazing. Youve worked hard, and you reached your peak. You may be in a difficult ce for now, but its not the end. Ill cheer for you.
Youre saying that for yourself, arent you? Lin Yueqi curved her brows, revealing her canines as she grinned as well as her dimples. You too, Ill cheer for you. We cant get anypromises no matter how hard life is. Im the only girl in my vige who got into college and now lives a good life. I have to go on and live my best life. I hope that no matter what industry Im in after ten years, I can still retain my initial dreams in that one bowl of instant noodles.
Its just a pity that the her in her dreams wasnt able to do it. Lin Yueqi couldnt help but feel sad when she thought about that, and even felt some sympathy to the Lin Yueqi in her dreams, to Tuantuan, and Lu Ting who wasnt able to have aplete married family.
Under the light of the mes, the girls face became bright, and there almost seemed to be a glimmer in her eyes as she spoke those words. She didnt have beauty that can overturn a country or even put any makeup on, but she still had her own charm.
She continued burying her head into eating her bowl of noodles, drinking the broth with both impatience and enjoyment.
Theizens on thement section:
CryingI pity Lin Yueqi so much. I remember seeing news about her in the past that she donated money to the vige to build schools and fix the roads after she got famous. It was her donation that opened up the barriers between the vige and Qingshan Town that allowed the entire vige to enter nning to be a tourist area for Qingshan Town. AhThere are many young girls in this world who are born poor but be self-made rich people. Its really not easy for them to live
Heh, so thats the reason she went out drinking and got into random peoples beds?
Do you think its fun to just follow the trends without knowing the inside story?
In the end, who can still maintain their dreams in the billowing torrents of our world? Whats more, its not like Lin Yueqi did anything against thew. Why are you all so caught up in her life? Im hungry, Im gonna go buy some instant noodles.
+1 Im hungry for instant noodles too.
Hungry for instant noodles +1 sob sob sob. Im gonna go downstairs and buy some! And theyre right, you know? Lin Yueqi didnt do anything wrong, so what if she went out of character? Thats not illegal, right? They say she abuses her child but she was calling her daughter Tuan-jie so sweetly with so much warmth in her eyesWell, she can rify it herself. Im going down to buy noodles!!
Going downstairs to buy noodles!
#Lin Yueqi initial dreams brand instant noodles# quickly became a hot topic. She didnt have a PR team now so there were still a lot of insultingments, but there were also many goodmentsing in to heat up the topic. As soon as Lin Yueqis fans saw a chance for their idol to rise up again, they all gathered their allies and began packing in the heat for Lin Yueqi.
Chapter 40 - Tuantuan and the “Kidnapper” Uncle (3)
Ch.40 Tuantuan and the Kidnapper Uncle(3)
Down the hill, most of the crew members were setting up their camps.
A ck sedan was parked right behind Lin Yueqis van.
A man was seated on the drivers seat with his iPad fixed on the steering wheel, ying the stream. He teased, Old Lu, wasnt your girlfriends past a little too miserable? But speaking of which, your Qiqi is a funny one in the entertainment circle, isnt she? Shes got no background and refused to follow the rules. Pretty interesting. Though I finally understand why shes been keeping her body pure for so many years. I think she was waiting for you.
Lu Ting who was sitting next to him had on a frown filled with mixed emotions.
Back when the two majors got together for an outing two years ago, the others had persuaded Lin Yueqi to drink and she got drunk with just two drinks. She bumped into him in the toilet and vomited all over him.
When he was about to leave the karaoke bar, he overheard a discussion amongst two of his male ssmates from his major and found out that the girl had been drugged. Lin Yueqi was A Universitys school goddess, and unlike the usual fair wealthy beauties, she was a hardworking and diligent girl. The two had several dramatic encounters during their school days.
Back then, the young Lu Ting was extremely fond of this girl.
He couldnt just sit aside and not help the girl he fancied, so he brought the girl to a hotel. Unexpectedly, she wrapped herself around him like a snake after they got into the room and wouldnt budge no matter what.
He also had a lot to drink that night so his reason was shattered. With a bit of reluctance, they ended uping together that night.
Lu Ting wanted to take responsibility for the girl, but she quietly put on her clothes and left with her heels in hand the next morning. Lu Ting tried to call her after that so they could talk about getting together.
But his tone didnt sound like he was a guy trying to get with a girl at all. He almost sounded as if he was talking business.
This wasnt the type of romance Lin Yueqi imagined, nor did she feel any pink bubbles when she thought about him, and so nothing came of the two.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yueqi got pregnant after a few months but Lu Ting was overseas and they lost contact.
After hearing about the incident between him and Lin Yueqi, Li Xing threw his head back inughter, Boss Lu, if I were her, then I wouldnt want you to be my boyfriend either. Who the hell chases after girls like that?
Lu Ting was sitting straight in his seat and did not speak. After a quiet sigh, he patted his knees, saying, Look, Im from a small family. Nobody ever taught me how to chase after a girl.
Li Xing looked at him as if he were a fool. You think people need to be thought for that sort of thing? What, youve never eaten pork? Never seen a pig run? What a damn shame of that face of yours.
While the two talked, a chubby little girl jumped down from the van in front of them.
The fat little girl quickly crept over to the tent and asked for a bowl of cooked instant noodles, then, she hid behind the tree like a little thief.
Picking up some of the noodles with her fork, she puffed up her cheeks and blew hard until it was cold before putting it in her mouth.
After taking two bites, she went over to look at the van, worried that someone would notice.
Tuantuan had just taken a few bites when the ck sedan at the side suddenly turned on its lights, and the windows rolled down.
Li Xing rested his arm on the window frame and looked at Tuantuan who was crouching outside the car and sneaking a bite of noodles with a look of amusement on his face. Hey, chubby girl. Why dont youe eat in my car? Ive got air conditioning.
Tuantuan guarded her noodle bowl vigntly and frowned. Then, she slowly stood up and said, Tuantuans not getting into your car! Youre definitely a kidnapper! Bleh!
Li Xingughed like an unscrupulous businessman and said bitterly, Hehe, how can uncle be a kidnapper? Im too handsome from that, arent I?
Tuantuan took another bite of her noodles and guarded her bowl even more vigntly, her eyebrows furrowing even more.
The author has something to say:
Update~ Tuantuan and her dad appeared today~ Daddy Tuan is actually just a guy whos as stubborn as a tree wearing the skin of a domineering CEO, the type thats super boring.
Chapter 41 - “I’m Lu Ting, Tuantuan’s father” (1)
Ch.41 Im Lu Ting, Tuantuans father(1)
Hiding her noodles, she kept stepping back until she was stopped by the tree behind her before she shouted, A kidnapper is trying to kidnap Tuantuan!
The little girl took a deep breath and turned on her chubby girl style scream.
Her voice drew the attention of Xiaoke who had just gotten out of the car. When she heard Tuantuans cries for help she immediately grabbed the baseball bat from the van and rushed over menacingly.
She protected Tuantuan behind her just like a hen protecting her chicks. Holding the baseball bat, she swung it at the car window and said to Tuantuan, Tuantuan, go call for help from the camp!
After having been hit on the forehead, he was feeling very depressed. He quickly turned on the lights in the car and the outlines of his face were immediately clear. The men held his head and said, Chivalrous woman, please be merciful. Im Li Xing.
If youre Li Xing then Im the richest man, Lu Guohua! Xiaoke had just shouted out fiercely when she finally reacted to the situation immediately after. She looked at the man in the car, and it really did look a bit like that mysterious big shot from the film industry, didnt he?
Li Xing was the boss of the countrys top film and televisionpany and rarely appeared in the public eye. The reason for the mystery is the fact that he managed to build up such argepany despite only being in his thirties.
Everyone was curious about the mans background.
Xiaoke was also from the entertainment industry, so there was no reason he wouldnt recognize the handsome and recognizable face of Li Xing. She froze for a moment but her hands went loose and she dropped the baseball bat. Apologetically, she smiled and said, Ohits President Li. Im sorry, the kid is still young and I didnt see you clearly just now.
Tuantuan who was hiding behind Xiaoke peeked out at Li Xing, blinking her eyes and tugging on Xiaokes sleeve, speaking in a tender and childish voice, Auntie Xiaoke, do you know this kidnapper uncle?
Tsk, this chubby little girl But before he could finish, Li Xings waist was jabbed by the man beside him.
Soon, the man sitting shotgun, Lu Ting, got out of the car and looked at the chubby little girl from high up.
Tuantuan recognized Lu Ting and pounced over to hug his legs. She raised her chubby face at him and shouted out crisply, Its Uncle Long-legs!
Lu Ting crouched down and rubbed the little girls head, asking, Hey, how have you been doing?
Tuantuan pouted and patted her round belly, saying, Tuantuans not doing so well. Many people are scolding Tuantuans mama. Uncle Long-legs, I dont think you need to wait until Im big before you marry Mama. You can marry my mama now. How about it? If you marry my mama, then Tuantuan will have a papa, then those people wont say mama is sleeping around and Tuantuan is a bastard.
Lu Ting frowned and took the little girl into his arms. After rubbing her head for a while, he picked her up and looked at Xiaoke, asking in a harsh tone, Did you read out the barragements to her?
Xiaoke looked at Lu Ting but she had no idea who he was, though she felt that Tuantuans frown resembled his a little. In her imaginations, Tuantuans father should be a heavy man as well, so she did not associate this handsome man in front of her with Tuantuan.
She just thought that he was hugging her because he thought the little girl was cute.
The man came in the same car as Li Xing so his identity must not be casual. But what puzzled her even more was the reason why Li Xing was here. The artists from theirpany are all working on Hollywood productions orrge domestic projects. None of their artists would even bother to participate in a reality show like this.
Chapter 42 - “I’m Lu Ting, Tuantuan’s father” (2)
Ch.42 Im Lu Ting, Tuantuans father(2)
The artists from theirpany are all working on Hollywood productions orrge domestic projects. None of their artists would even bother to participate in a reality show like this.
Xiaoke was well aware of the circlesplexity so she didnt dare to offend the other party and just responded politely. You misunderstand, sir. Even though this girl is only four and a half years old, shes smart and can read thements on her own. She can read and understand many of thements that pop up and the online reviews as well without needing me to read them out for her. Shes a very slick one. She ran off when I wasnt looking and sneaked out here to eat instant noodles, reallysigh.
She observed the tall man holding the child in front of her.
He was dressed in formal clothes while holding the girl with one hand with his other tucked into his pocket. He was eyeing her with a stern gaze that felt somewhat aggressive.
This man was well over 190 meters tall with long legs and a good body. His looks were really good too. She couldnt rule him out as one of Li Xingspanys new artists with such excellent conditions as his. If hes to be nurtured under Li Xingspany, then he definitely would not have a bad future. He could even make it really big.
Having been in this circle for such a long time, Xiaoke never thought of herself as someone who would go head over heels over a pretty boy. But when she saw how the man held the child in front of her, she actually felt a Gary Stu explosion.
A cold man unconcerned with the mortal world is immediately grounded with the appearance of the chubby little girl, Tuantuan. Even his charm was raised quite considerably.
Tuantuan curled one arm around Lu Tings neck and cradled her bowl of noodles against her chest with the other.
She scratched at the back of Lu Tings neck with her meaty little hands and said, Uncle, you really misunderstood Auntie Xiaoke. Youre not my papa yet, uncle. How can you scold Auntie Xiaoke like youre my papa? Thats naughty, Qiqi and Tuantuan wont like an uncle like that.
Her soft touch practically went straight into the depths of Lu Tings heart. He sighed lightly, almost imperceptibly, and let out a soft hum of agreement before turning to look at Xiaoke. Im Lu Ting, Tuantuans father. Ive just returned to the country recently. Ill be taking TUantuan home. Once Lin Yueqis done with the recording, tell her to call this number.
He took out a card with one hand and passed it to Xiaoke.
Xiaoke took the card and looked at it, and she finally understood what Li Xing hade for. Subconsciously, she snatched the chubby little girl back from his arms.
Lu Ting waspletely unprepared, and even though Xiaoke looked thin and weak, she was pretty strong. Xiaokes sudden movement caused the noodles to spill out of Duanduans bowl. She looked down at her oil-covered self, then at the soup base that was left on the bowl, and brought it up expressionlessly, drinking it all up.
Li Xing leaned over the car window andughed out loud as he watched the changes in the little girls expression. Old Lu, youve got a pretty cute daughter.
Tuantuan frowned and threw the empty noodle bowl at Lu Ting. Baddie! Though she was young, she was very smart. She quickly understood that this Uncle Long-legs did not appear at her doorsteps out of ident. He hade for a purpose.
She told many handsome men things like marry my mama and so on, and they all agreed, but they never reappeared in front of her ever again. However, not only did this man reappear, he even took away some of her hair.
Chapter 43 - “I’m Lu Ting, Tuantuan’s father” (3)
Ch.43 Im Lu Ting, Tuantuans father(3)
What did that mean? That meant that this person was actually her dad who wanted to take away a lock of her hair as a memento because of his guilt.
Lu Ting, ??
Tuantuan humphed at the man and turned to Xiaoke, saying, Auntie Xiaoke, lets go back. Hes a baddie, lets ignore him.
They all say that women turn their faces as fast as you could turn a book, but this little girl turns as fast as lightning can strike. Puzzled, Lu Ting said, Im your father, Tuantuan. I met your mother in college.
Tuantuan pointed her short meaty finger at him and shouted in her sweet voice, My name is Lin Tuantuan! I came out of a rock! I have no papa. You must be mistaken, long-leg baddie!
Xiaoke held the child tight, worried that the man would snatch the child away. He immediately said to Li Xing, Mr. Li, the child is getting sleepy. Ill be bringing her back.
Then, she immediately ran off with the child.
When Xiaoke carried Tuantuan back to the car, Li Xing looked at Lu Ting and was nearly out of breath fromughing. Your daughter turned on you real fast! She probably told a lot of men about bing her daddy, and youre just one of them. So, when she found out that youre her actual father, she immediately turned on you.
Lu Ting took out his handkerchief and wiped off the oil stains on his chest, saying under his breath, Shes still young, its normal that she wont be able to ept it that quickly.
I gotta say, youre stiff when ites to chasing women and youre abrupt when ites to breaking the news to your kid too. If I were that little girl, I wouldve hit you with that bowl of noodles too.
Lu Ting got in the car silently. Lu Xing turned to ask, So what are you nning to do next? It doesnt look like that chubby little girl wants to ept you.
Lu Ting did not respond. Instead, he asked, Does yourpany need new artists?
Shit, have you been waiting for this? Ill tell you now, mypany has very high requirements for our artists. We dont take people like Qin Xue with the looks but no skill, let alone Lin Yueqi. Besides, wont I ruin thepany image if I take her in?
Lu Ting eyed him from the side, saying, Are you saying that the mother of my child is not qualified to join yourpany?
Li Xing, AhemOf course not, I wouldnt dare. Id have to get it done no matter whatt since youve already asked, right? So how about this. Im going to call her tomorrow and see if shes willing to sign under mypany. Then, after she joins us, I hope youll be able to reveal her and Tuantuans identity publicly as soon as possible so you can stop the talking. I dont want the artists in mypany getting smeared online one after the other.
Of course.
Li Xing looked at him again and saw that his gaze was still on the van in front of them. He asked, So, whatre you going to do now? Leave with me? Or do you want to keep waiting?
You go, and leave the car here.
Li Xing,
Li Xing made a call to his assistant and a car quickly came to pick him up in just a moment. He also brought a new set of clothes over. He passed the clothes to Lu Ting and pointed his chin at the oil stains at his chest, saying, You should get changed, and make sure you sweeten your tongue a bit when you see her mother tomorrow. Dont act like a boring old man.
Yeah.
The author has something to say:
Daddy Tuan: Since recognizing my daughter was unsessful today, Ill go and recognize my wife tomorrow. Once she sees me, her old me will definitely rekindle. Yeah.
Chapter 44 - Mentally Disabled CEO Asking for his Wife Back (1)
Ch.44 Mentally Disabled CEO Asking for his Wife Back(1)
She bit down on her lips, tears flowing quietly from her eyes.
In the mirror, she thered on ayer of foundation, but it wouldnt stick well over the pimples bumps. Her entire face looked uneven. She didnt just have tiny whiteheads popping up all over her face, there was even arge one on her right cheek, swollen from inmmation.
She kept smearing the foundation on her face, but she could not cover it no matter what.
It wasnt until she emptied the bottle that she finally stopped.
Back in the van, Tuantuan cleaned up briefly andid down on the bed in her pink bearie autumn clothes.
Her round belly peeked out as sheid down, so she pulled her shirt down to cover it beforeying down quietly on her small makeshift bed in the car.
Xiaoke prepared her baby form for her and she held the bottle in her arms, rolling around in bed. After drinking two sips of her milk, she asked, Auntie Xiaoke, do you think hes really my papa? He looked for me once when you guys came back that day and asked for one strand of my hair
Xiaoke was silent for a moment. She patted her round little belly while coaxing her to sleep, but she frowned. no wonder that man suddenly showed up. He mustve done the DNA test a month ago after getting your hair sample. Hah, what a dog. Sis Qi has been keeping her body pure for her all these years but hes actually questioning your identity!
Whats DNA? Auntie Xiaoke, dont talk about him like thatHes Tuantuans papa after all. If you wanna scold him, justdo it behind Tuantuans back!
Xiaokes voice softened and she asked, Then, you tell me, Tuantuan, do you like him?
I used to, but when Tuantuan remembers how he abandoned me and Mama for so many years while Mama was being scolded so badly by so many people, I dont like him anymore. He definitely doesnt love Mama, right? If he does love Mama, then he shouldvee many years ago to get Tuantuan, right?
Yeah, youre right, Tuantuan. Hes just a scummy man! Xiaoke was so angry that her eyes reddened. She said, Youve had such a hard life in the countryside, and the reason Sis Qi is this way right now is all because of his irresponsibility. Your Mama lost her memory. She doesnt even remember him at all. Sigh.
Tuantuan said quietly, Actually, Tuantuan lied. Tuantuan likes him very much, butbut Im scared Qiqi will get angry. Im scared Qiqi will be unhappy if she finds out I like Papa. Qiqi never mentions who Papa is so she must hate him, right?
I dont know. It seems like your mama does still like him quite a bit. If not, she wouldnt have given birth to you with all that stress over her head.
Wow, Auntie Xiaoke, Tuantuan will be upset if you say it like that. Mama gave birth to Tuantuan because she loves Tuantuan, it has nothing to do with Papa
Xiaoke let out augh and tucked her in with the nket. Okay, okay. Youre right, everything you say is right. Now go to sleep, well go get something nice to eat once your mamaes down tomorrow.
Tuantuan wants to eat roasted pork belly!
Sure.
She stuck out three short chubby fingers, Three big bowls.
Okay okay Xiaoke waspletely speechless. Her chubby body had toe from somewhere after all. She could eat several months of Lin Yueqis intake of meat in one go.
*
After Qin Xues 6-man team was told that they failed and that they had been tossed behind by Lin Yueqi and Wen Zhe by more than 38 stages, they all felt their hearts crumbling.
None of them had their cellphones so they had no idea what their fans were saying about them. However, they knew how disunited they were yesterday. They knew that thements wouldnt be good. Whats more, with how they were 38 stages behind, that was an absolute disgrace.
They were all camping halfway up the hill and resting, but none of them even had the mood to eat.
Tang Weiweiined, What a shame. If Id known this would happen I wouldve joined Lin Yueqis team.
The other male stars did not say anything, they just pretended that they didnt hear anything. Qin Xue was crouched in the tent, looking at the mirror. She didnt have the mood to pay attention to the moods of her fellow teammates at all.
Her state of mind had already crumbled, and before she could even adjust her mood, another system message came.
Ding ding~ Lin Yueqi has rediscovered the taste of happiness and emitted a positive energy value of 5 points. You will receive two weeks of full face of pimples as a punishment.
Inside the tent, Qin Xue looked at her face that was covered in pimples through the mirror and her hands were shaking with hatred.
Chapter 45 - Mentally Disabled CEO Asking for his Wife Back (2)
Ch.45 Mentally Disabled CEO Asking for his Wife Back(2)
The gaze in that mirror grew more and more fierce as if she couldnt wish for more than to tear Lin Yueqi apart. She clutched at the sleeping bag beneath her until it wrinkled and said through the gaps of her teeth, Lin Yueqi, what gives you the right to do this to meWhat gives you the right!
The negative energy in Qin Xues body soared to its peak, almost as much as when she attracted this system in the past. As the negative energy inside of her broke past a certain point, the system rang out in her ears.
Ding~ You can use your own positive energy to apply for a loan from the system, to transfer your punishment to her face. Would you need a loan? It will require 20 points of positive energy from you.
Without hardly any hesitation, Qin Xue said, I need it!
Another reminder, the more positive energy you consume, the bigger the impact you will suffer. Are you sure?
Im sure.
Understood. Punishment in transit
Three minutester, the pimples on her face, as well as the swelling on her mouth, disappeared, and she was back to her usual immense beauty again.
She held up the mirror, using the systems features to continue adjusting her face.
Her face right now had already been tuned by the level 6 beautifying feature, but because of the environment on Earth, her face would change at any moment, and her features would also fluctuate with her mood. Due to the strong interference in the earth and also her hearts constant envious state, her beauty would still get worse and worse even after using the features.
When her beauty drops, it was necessary for her to keep adjusting it with the system.
But her level 6 beauty fell straight down to level 4. After experiencing the effects of the level 6 beautifying feature, the lower level versions werent even worth her time anymore.
But right now, level 4 was all she could use.
No matter how she tried to adjust the settings, her face after the level 4 beautifying features adjustments just wasnt enough for her. And so, holding up the mirror, she stared at herself and kept on chanting Lin Yueqis name over and over as if she was obsessed.
She had to find a way to get Lin Yueqi into a negative state and constantly emit negative energy. She had to get her Flourishing Beauty system back to level 6, or even the highest level.
*
Early the next morning, Lin Yueqis face felt very ufortable when she went to brush her teeth the next morning.
As soon as she saw the mirror, she was shocked at all the pimples on her face. She thought that she must have contracted some sort of life-threatening disease and immediately sought out Wen Zhe and the crew for help.
Neither Wen Zhe nor the crew dared to dy, thinking that she might be suffering an allergic reaction, and immediately called 120.
All sorts of thoughts began to run through Lin Yueqis mind, and she cked out from the sudden psychological impact.
Was she, a beautiful girl in her prime, going to die so young? QAQ
Down the hill, when the director learned that Lin Yueqis face was covered in pimples, he instantly thought that she must be allergic to something. Allergies could range from mild to serious, but it could also be fatal.
The paramedics down the hill quickly formed an emergency team and headed up the hill. Things instantly got tense in the camp that was still in the midst of preparing breakfast, and everything had turned into a mess.
Tuantuan was crouched behind therge pot at the camps with her bowl in hand, waiting patiently for the cook to serve up the meals.
When she heard that something had happened to Lin Yueqi, she couldnt even be bothered about eating anymore. She put her bowl on the stovetop and left the cook with Mr, please dont forget to give Tuantuan meat, you have to fill it up, okay? before she took off for the hill with her short little legs.
The cook who was preparing the meat porridge was amused to see the girl rushing off in such a hurry.
However, she was caught at the cor by Lu Ting before she even managed to reach the steps. The man yanked her over so hard that she was forced to stick herself to Lu Tings legs.
Holding Tuantuans shoulder, he asked a crew member, What happened?
No idea. I heard Lin Yueqi had an allergic reaction, and that her life might be in danger! The crew member was anxiously contacting nearby hospitals and didnt even care to think about who this handsome young man in front of him might be.
When Tuantuan heard that Lin Yueqis life was in danger, she wailed. She turned around and hugged Lu Tings legs, rubbing her swollen red eyes with her meaty hands. Long-leg Baddie, you have to save Qiqi, hurry, save Qiqi!
Lu Ting picked up the young girl and handed her over Xiaoke who hade over after hearing the news. He handed Xiaoke a business card and instructed, Call this number. Ask my assistant to arrange for a rescue helicopter. Watch the child while I go up the hill with the paramedics.
Xiaoke took the child from his arms and looked over the card. Stiffly, she nodded, Yes.
After Lu Ting and the paramedics went up the hill, she had a good look at the business card.
Executive Assistant to the CEO of Qiancheng Group, Wu Qinan.
His assistant is the executive assistant to Qiancheng Groups CEO?? So this man wasthe CEO of the Qiancheng group?
Xiaoke shook her head instantly. How was that possible? Tuantuans father was the grandson of Billionaire Lu? Thats unscientific.
Chapter 46 - Mentally Disabled CEO Asking for his Wife Back (3)
Ch.46 Mentally Disabled CEO Asking for his Wife Back(3)
Lin Yueqi really was put on a stretcher by the crew and carried down the hill.
She hadnt slept at allst night, She was so stunned, thinking that she had contracted a terminal illness that she immediately cked out. She couldnt help but get the feeling that she was going to transmigrate back into her college entrance exam days soon.
When she opened her eyes again, she was lying in the rescue helicopter with the rumbling noise filling her ears. She was surrounded by a group of paramedics who were taking her temperature.
Behind the doctor stood a tall man with long legs. He had a stern and cold look on his face.
While allowing the doctor to pierce the back of her hand with the intravenous needle, she looked fixedly at him. You are
Yes. He waited for the doctor to hang up her IV bag before walking over and crouching in front of her, speaking softly, How are you feeling?
Im alrightwasnt I going to die? So what kind of illness do I have?
We havent gotten the results yet, well have to wait until the hospital does a thorough examination. Lu Ting thought of what Li Xing told him and scoured his mind for all the sweet words he could think of. Then, with a serious face, he said to Lin Yueqi, Youre really very beautiful.
Lin Yueqi grabbed a mirror from her pocket and had a look at her face. She wasnt dreaming, her face really was covered in pimples.
So, is there shit in this guys brain or is it a tumor?
When he saw the tight frown on her face, he hesitated. Could it be, his sweet words werent sweet enough? Then, he racked his brains once more and finally scavenged a single Youre always so beautiful after sifting through all theplex jargon in his mind.
When he said that, Lin Yueqi nearly sent him flying with a kick.
Scram!
Lu Ting, ?? He already tried his best. Dont girls like to beplimented on their beauty? Her face was covered in pimples all of a sudden, doesnt she needpliments for her to cradle her self-confidence?
Lin Yueqi thought that this guy was strange. When they met on the train the first time, he said he wanted to have a talk with her.
And now, he actuallyplimented her rotten face for its beauty on the second time they were meeting? This guys crazy isnt he?
Lu Ting noticed that she wasnt looking the least bit happy at all. Instead, her face was growing worse and worse. So, he gave up on the sweet talk and went straight to business. I came back this time to ask for your hand in marriage.
Unexinable sentences came out of his mouth one after the other, each oneced with awkwardness. Lin Yueqi was so embarrassed that she really wouldve kicked this guy out of the helicopter if her legs werent feeling so terrible right now.
She finally couldnt stand it anymore and said, Who are you? Do I know you? What, you think you can have your way just cause youve got a pretty face?
No emotion could be seen in the mans eyes. Im Lu Ting.
Lin Yueqi nearly choked on her own spit.
Its the male lead Lu Ting!!! Just like that? No warnings? God, did she save the whole gxy or the entire world in her past life or something?! To think that the male lead would make his debut when her face was covered in pimples. Unbelievable!
This is amazing!
Lin Yueqi burst into tears, thanking God for treating her so well. So does that mean she can withdraw from the heroines spot without any effort now?
When Lu Ting saw her red eyes filling up with tears, he couldnt help but feel an ache in his heart. He cant even imagine how difficult she must have lived all these years by herself.
In a quiet voice, he said, You dont have to pretend you dont know me. I know how terrible your life has been these few years. You gave birth to Tuantuan for me and did your best in raising her. Youve worked hard.
What sort of narcissist sect did this mane from? He thinks she suffered for him? And that she also gave birth to Tuantuan for him?
Lin Yueqi said, Hey ol buddy, arent you going a bit far with that?
The author has something to say:
Lin Yueqi, Thank you female supporting lead daddy for giving me pimples! Thank you for your love and care!
Chapter 48 - Rich Husband, “Let’s get married, I’ll give you half of my assets.” (2)
Ch.48 Rich Husband, Lets get married, Ill give you half of my assets.(2)
Lu Ting was an extremely chivalrous man, so when he saw Lin Yueqiy her hand on her own daughter, he finally proposed a divorce. But he never knew that the reason the two of them ended this way was because of theyered plots stirred up by the supporting female leads with their golden fingers.
After the death of Lin Yueqi, Tuantuan was forced into bing a viin by the supporting female leads golden fingers and went to prison during her college years. Aftering out ten yearster, she fell out of a rtionship and her life fell apart. She waspletely stripped of her heroine halo. If it wasnt for the support of her fathers financial strength, then she may have fallen even lower. She became and irrelevant rich second generation passing by, and no longer had her shine.
After his wife passed away, Lu Ting wondered every night why he couldnt have been more considerate, taken care of his family more, and been more patient. If he could have spent more time with his wife and advised her more, tolerated more of her tantrums, and evenstayed quiet about the divorceWould she still be alive and healthy?
He was troubled by this for many years and he would think about it every time he was free. It was this problem that caused him to lose sleep all year long and food he food now tasted nd. And so, he often ate at Yanzi Dining Hall, a restaurant of Chinas number one chef, reminiscing about his past through the help of food.
Once when he came out of the restaurant, he suddenly felt dizzy and was unfortunate enough to be involved in a car ident. Not only did it break his leg, it even disfigured his face.
The police identified it as a DUI case, but he never drank any alcohol.
Since then, he became the ugliest one-legged billionaire in history. Theizens would alsough at his appearance often, saying that God was merciful after all to have given him wealth but not aplete family, a healthy body, or good looks.
Lu Ting lived the rest of his life unmarried and spent nearly every moment of every day and night outside of work thinking about Lin Yueqi. He also wondered if everything he suffered through was retribution.
In his days of being ridiculed on the inte, he began to sympathize with Lin Yueqi somewhat. It was clear that he had not loved her when she was still alive, but he could never forget her after her passing. The womans figure was etched into his mind for the rest of his life.
After his daughter was released from prison, he sent her overseas to study and retired at the age of 80, leaving his business empire to his daughter. However, misfortune gued them constantly like a nightmare.
His daughter hadnt even taken over for more than a year when she was also involved in a car ident that disfigured her face and took her legs. After investigation, he found out that his daughter had also been to Yanzi Dining Hall. Even though he couldnt find any evidence, he believed that this was no coincidence. Something was very wrong with the woman who was crowned the God of Cooking by the country of Hua.
But he found that out toote. It didnt take long for Lu Ting to meet his end in hatred. The moment he closed his eyes, the face of his dead wife appeared in front of him.
She had a youthful face as she reached out to him, smiling. It was a surprising glimpse back to when they met under the parasol tree at school.
Then, he had a look back at his life from a third persons perspective. Only then was the reason for Lin Yueqis depression and the reason for Tuantuan going astray revealed, as well as the reason he and Tuantuan encountered the car idents.
ording to the original ns of the world, he would be attracted to Lin Yueqis interesting character. As days go on, a love affair would ensue before an epted marriage proposal led to a happy marriage. But the supporting character who came out of nowhere had their golden finger, manipting them from the perspective of a God, changing the familys intended trajectory.
No matter how much talent he had for business, he would never be able to fight against those golden fingers, nor had he ever thought about things in such an absurd direction.
In fact, by virtue of Lu Tings character, he would have held her hand tight without a care for anything if he had fallen in love with Lin Yueqi before the appearance of the supporting female leads, never letting go even in death.
However, he had not yet reached that point with her in her death, and that was where the supporting female leads were smart with their golden fingers.
In the dream, Lin Yueqi was so terrified at the sight of Lu Tings bitter end that she sprang up from bed.
Currently, she wasying on a hospital bed and a doctor was currently taking her blood. Her sudden action caused the needle to prick into her flesh and she wailed in pain.
Lu Ting and the nurse came over to pin her down, sessfully drawing a sample of her blood.
After taking the sample, the doctor said to Lin Yueqi, Your body is showing symptoms of a fever. Turn over, Ill give you a few injections to get rid of the inmmation.
Lin Yueqi responded as if all light had dissolved from her life, Why do I have to turn over?
The nurse pointed to her hip and said, This is the injection site.
Lin Yueqi, Hey now, she never had an injection on her butt since going into high school, okay?!
She wouldntply even if she died.
Chapter 48 - Rich Husband, “Let’s get married, I’ll give you half of my assets.” (2)
Ch.48 Rich Husband, Lets get married, Ill give you half of my assets.(2)
Lu Ting was an extremely chivalrous man, so when he saw Lin Yueqiy her hand on her own daughter, he finally proposed a divorce. But he never knew that the reason the two of them ended this way was because of theyered plots stirred up by the supporting female leads with their golden fingers.
After the death of Lin Yueqi, Tuantuan was forced into bing a viin by the supporting female leads golden fingers and went to prison during her college years. Aftering out ten yearster, she fell out of a rtionship and her life fell apart. She waspletely stripped of her heroine halo. If it wasnt for the support of her fathers financial strength, then she may have fallen even lower. She became and irrelevant rich second generation passing by, and no longer had her shine.
After his wife passed away, Lu Ting wondered every night why he couldnt have been more considerate, taken care of his family more, and been more patient. If he could have spent more time with his wife and advised her more, tolerated more of her tantrums, and evenstayed quiet about the divorceWould she still be alive and healthy?
He was troubled by this for many years and he would think about it every time he was free. It was this problem that caused him to lose sleep all year long and food he food now tasted nd. And so, he often ate at Yanzi Dining Hall, a restaurant of Chinas number one chef, reminiscing about his past through the help of food.
Once when he came out of the restaurant, he suddenly felt dizzy and was unfortunate enough to be involved in a car ident. Not only did it break his leg, it even disfigured his face.
The police identified it as a DUI case, but he never drank any alcohol.
Since then, he became the ugliest one-legged billionaire in history. Theizens would alsough at his appearance often, saying that God was merciful after all to have given him wealth but not aplete family, a healthy body, or good looks.
Lu Ting lived the rest of his life unmarried and spent nearly every moment of every day and night outside of work thinking about Lin Yueqi. He also wondered if everything he suffered through was retribution.
In his days of being ridiculed on the inte, he began to sympathize with Lin Yueqi somewhat. It was clear that he had not loved her when she was still alive, but he could never forget her after her passing. The womans figure was etched into his mind for the rest of his life.
After his daughter was released from prison, he sent her overseas to study and retired at the age of 80, leaving his business empire to his daughter. However, misfortune gued them constantly like a nightmare.
His daughter hadnt even taken over for more than a year when she was also involved in a car ident that disfigured her face and took her legs. After investigation, he found out that his daughter had also been to Yanzi Dining Hall. Even though he couldnt find any evidence, he believed that this was no coincidence. Something was very wrong with the woman who was crowned the God of Cooking by the country of Hua.
But he found that out toote. It didnt take long for Lu Ting to meet his end in hatred. The moment he closed his eyes, the face of his dead wife appeared in front of him.
She had a youthful face as she reached out to him, smiling. It was a surprising glimpse back to when they met under the parasol tree at school.
Then, he had a look back at his life from a third persons perspective. Only then was the reason for Lin Yueqis depression and the reason for Tuantuan going astray revealed, as well as the reason he and Tuantuan encountered the car idents.
ording to the original ns of the world, he would be attracted to Lin Yueqis interesting character. As days go on, a love affair would ensue before an epted marriage proposal led to a happy marriage. But the supporting character who came out of nowhere had their golden finger, manipting them from the perspective of a God, changing the familys intended trajectory.
No matter how much talent he had for business, he would never be able to fight against those golden fingers, nor had he ever thought about things in such an absurd direction.
In fact, by virtue of Lu Tings character, he would have held her hand tight without a care for anything if he had fallen in love with Lin Yueqi before the appearance of the supporting female leads, never letting go even in death.
However, he had not yet reached that point with her in her death, and that was where the supporting female leads were smart with their golden fingers.
In the dream, Lin Yueqi was so terrified at the sight of Lu Tings bitter end that she sprang up from bed.
Currently, she wasying on a hospital bed and a doctor was currently taking her blood. Her sudden action caused the needle to prick into her flesh and she wailed in pain.
Lu Ting and the nurse came over to pin her down, sessfully drawing a sample of her blood.
After taking the sample, the doctor said to Lin Yueqi, Your body is showing symptoms of a fever. Turn over, Ill give you a few injections to get rid of the inmmation.
Lin Yueqi responded as if all light had dissolved from her life, Why do I have to turn over?
The nurse pointed to her hip and said, This is the injection site.
Lin Yueqi, Hey now, she never had an injection on her butt since going into high school, okay?!
She wouldntply even if she died.
Chapter 49 - Rich Husband, “Let’s get married, I’ll give you half of my assets.” (3)
Ch.49 Rich Husband, Lets get married, Ill give you half of my assets.(3)
The doctor tried to scare her, If you dont cooperate and keep dragging it on, your face is just going to get worse and worse.
Even though she was quite happy to have met the male lead, Lu Ting, with pimples all over the face, but that didnt mean she enjoyed actually having them on his face. Its normal to be vain. When she heard the doctors words, she immediately turned over and prepared to take off her pants, but she turned to look at the handsome man standing by the bed and said, Hey dude, youre not a doctor so can you please go out? I have to take off my pants for the shot and it wont be nice if you see my butt, right?
Lu Ting was holding a piece of cotton over the bleeding hole on Lin Yueqis arm and said with a tight frown, You never cared about that when you slept with me back then. Do it, doctor.
Then, he helped the nurse hold down the back of Lin Yueqis shoulder.
Both the doctor and the nurse couldnt help butugh at the contrast of such teasing wordsing out of the mans mouth with such a serious face.
Lin Yueqis face turned red and hammered the bed, shouting, Ahhhh, Lu Ting youre cursed!! Get out of here right now! Close your eyes, dont look! Im gonna swear on a load of noodles that youll get a stye tonight!
After she was done yelling, the doctor had already finished giving her the shot.
Lu Ting pulled her pants back up for her and still kept a serious face as he said, Dont worry. I wont let you suffer any more after today. I know that you dont want me to see you this way but dont worry. I wont abandon you no matter whether youre beautiful or ugly. There will only be one mother for Tuantuan, and youll also be the only Mrs. Lu Ill have.
Ahhh, please just give it up! Can you stop imagining all that funny stuff?! Im just asking you to go out cause I dont want you to see my ass! Who cares about your damn Mrs. Lu?! Im begging you! Leave me and Tuantuan alone!
Lu Ting feltplicated inside when she began yelling again.
So, was she angry because he went silent for all those years? That made sense. It didnt matter who it was, any woman would be angry. Not to mention a woman like her who had given birth to a daughter for him. She definitely suffered a lot through these years.
Then, he said, All members of the Lu family are raised with strict education and always put our wives first. You dont have to worry about being bound by any rules if you marry into the Lu family, just be happy. If you really cant feel at ease about making a decision, then Im willing to put 50% of my assets under your name after we are married.
Lin Yueqi really felt like crying. This isnt how it happened in the dream at all.
In her dream, Lu Ting never said anything about giving her his assets! Lu Ting is the rich second generation of one of the richest families! His 50% of his assets are enough for her to eat and drink to her fill for several lifetimes!!
God. Is there seriously a tumor in Lu Tings brain to share 50% of his assets with her?
This wont do. In order to live a safe life and avoid the golden finger supporting female leads. She cant be fooled by money. QAQ
Lin Yueqi palmed her forehead and sighed. Bro, Tuantuans not your daughter. I picked her up so I could cheat you into marrying me! But who wouldve expected you to just disappearBut you see it now yourself, Im rich with nock of money, and I can afford to raise the daughter I picked up. I dont need to marry into some rich guys family nor do I wish to harm you. I just wanted to use your daughter to cheat some of your money away from you but I learned my lessonyou understand?
Lu Tings eyes suddenly flushed red when he saw her expression growing more and moreplicated. His throat bobbed and he said deeply, I understand.
How much did this woman hate him that she had to go out of her way to smear her own name and tell such a big lie?
The author has something to say:
Some people dont think that Daddy Tuan is worthy of Mommy Tuan, but I think Daddy Tuan is a good guy. He was just messed around with by the supporting female leads before he managed to fall in love with Mother Tuan in hisst life. Its not that hes stupid, its just that the golden fingers of the supporting female leads are too powerful. Nobody would ever be able to imagine that someone with special powers would be controlling their lives. Its a terrifying thought. Daddy Tuans just a wife fearing man
Chapter 50 - We’re Not Meant for Each Other (1)
Ch.50 Were Not Meant for Each Other(1)
Do youreally? Lin Yueqi blinked her eyes at him, her emotions considerably more stable than before. Calmly, she said to him, its good that you understand.
Lu Ting patted her through her nket and said softly to her, You take a good rest. Im going to take a call.
Okay Lin Yueqi quickly reacted to the meanings of his words. Staring at the back of his head, she quickly added, Im really not lying, Lu Ting.
Lu Ting walked to the window to answer the call, but as if he heard something, he turned to look at Lin Yueqi again.
About an hour ago, Li Xing contacted Lin Yueqis assistant, Mu Xiaoke. He told him that he wanted to sign Lin Yueqi as an artist under hispany g.
But Xiaoke told Li Xing that Lin Yueqi was nning to quit the entertainment industry after this and wont sign with any otherpany.
And when she insulted Qin Xue on the show, revealing the unpleasant truth of what she did, that was her determination to quit.
After Lu Ting hung up, he returned to the bed with aplicated expression.
Lin Yueqi quickly held up her fingers and swore, Ive never lied since I was a kid. My conscience wont let me sleep at night if I ever do. Look at my sincere eyes, Im really not lying to you. If I didnt have the money right now, I really might go out of my way to cheat you with the little girl. Youre a good man, Lu Ting. I hope youll be able to stay away from scum like me. Im a very jealous person. Not only am I jealous of Qin Xue, I even want to destroy her. But my n didnt seed and thats what happened to my face. It really might be holy retribution. After the scar faded from my face, I now have pimples all over
Her eyes were red while she spoke. Lu Ting did not speak and just looked quietly at her.
After confessing her sins to Lu Ting, Lin Yueqi sighed and asked again, Brother Lu, do you understand me after all Ive said?
Yeah. Lu Ting frowned and gave a faint nod. I understand. Do you think youre not good enough for me right now? I told you that I dont care about any of that.
Lin Yueqi had been talking for half an hour and talked her mouth dry, but she still didnt get to him.
Tuantuans dad never ever passed his readingprehension tests, didnt he?
Lin Yueqis patience had almost run out. She caught Lu Tings shoulders with her hands and opened her eyes wide at him. Brother Lu, its not about whether you care or not, Im the one with the problem here. I am a woman with a snakes heart, how could I marry a handsome man like you? Take a good look at my face. Not only is it covered in pimples, Ive also got scars on my face carved out by ss shards. Can a woman like me really receive your love? NoI cant do it! I dont deserve it! It goes against my conscience!
And also, Tuantuanisnt even your real daughter. How could a fat girl like here out of a handsome man like you?
Im not the good person you speak of. Im not even one ten-thousandth of Qin Xue. Shes beautiful and pretty, has a good heart, so you should marry a woman like her, right?
After speaking for therger half of an hour, Qin Xues name kept popping up over and over again, causing him to be extremely suspicious of her.
Lu Ting recalled when she got angry with Qin Xue live on the show and said, But thats not what you said on the show. You said she was the one who deliberately exposed your rtionship with your daughter. You said she was the one who disfigured you and cleverly escaped responsibility. You said she told your old boss to kick you out of thepany.
Lin Yueqi was speechless. YouYou saw the live stream? II was just trying to nder her. Even the fans knew that, didnt you realize it?
But what I saw was a helpless girl trying to smear her own reputation to destroy her own career. I see a poor girl who wants to get out of the entertainment industry because shes scared of being targetted and harmed by people again. Lin Yueqi, I dont know how much you suffered over the years with Tuantuan, but I can promise you that no matter what happens in the future, Ill never let go of either of you. Ill take responsibility and take care of you.
Lin Yueqi was stunned. Then, she sneered. Enough. Promises are just talk, how many people do you think can really achieve that? Would you still marry me if those wicked supporting female leads turned me into a negative madman or a crazy psychopath who would beat on Tuantuan for no reason? Youre a CEO rich enough to take over a country, were heaven and earth apart. We really dont match.
Chapter 51 - We’re Not Meant for Each Other (2)
Ch.51 Were Not Meant for Each Other(2)
Why do you think so negatively?
Lin Yueqi said, If I told you that I transmigrated over from 17 years old and can foretell the future with my dreams, would you believe me?
Lu Ting answered, Thats ridiculous.
Lin Yueqi shrugged. Dont believe me then.
Lu Ting had also given up on arguing with her and simply said, Just take a good rest. Im going to get our daughter. Im not someone wholl give up easily. Ill do my best to make you and Tuantuan ept me.
Dont get your hopes up. Ive got a stone-cold heart, its useless no matter how you insist. Lin Yueqi poured cold water on him.
Lu Ting nodded. Well see about that.
So we shall.
It wasnt until Lu Ting went out of the ward that Lin Yueqi realized what was wrong. So we shall? What? Why does it feel like Lu Ting was trying to formte some kind of business n?
Lin Yueqi,
*
In the afternoon, Lin Yueqi charged her phone andid in bed, looking through Weibo.
She thought that the inte would be full of people scolding her but unexpectedly, after reading more than a dozen private messages, all of them were confessions???
White Bunny of Yesteryear, Sister Lin Yueqi, are you there? I really like you a lot. You were so charismatic on the show QAQ. I can feel your energy when you were doing the exam questions. You were simply shining with talent. To think you went through the whole 5-3 review book and did a dozen mock tests just for a show. But look at meIm about to take my entrance exam soon but Im still on my phoneSob sob sob, youre amazing, Sister Lin Yueqi! You have to work hard! I need to learn from you! I need to work hard!
Martial Schr Lin Zicong, Nice to meet you, Qiqi. I am one of your fans and Ive liked you for three years. I see all your hard work and diligence. No matter whether youre on a reality TV show or a TV series, you always take your time to prepare. This is hard to find in the industry now. Im going through my exams now and I want to learn from you! That is the end of my confession. Im off to study now! Muacks~
You are in my world, Qiqi, you were scolded very badly these days but no matter what, we love you. Well cheer you on! And were looking forward to the next installment of your performance in the show!
After looking through thesements, Lin Yueqis reaction was confused Nick Young, ??
Then, she looked at thements on Weibo.
Positivements now ounted for half of the pandemonium that was originally there.
Comments like Youre amazing, Qiqi! and Congrattions to my goddess for winning thepetition sprang up like bamboo shoots.
When she checked the headlines, she found that it was rted to her.
The posts under the #Lin Yueqi initial dreams brand instant noodles# topic were 50/50, just like on Weibo. It wasnt as bad as she imagined. For someone who liked following celebrity news, she knew very well that this situation meant that her career was saved.
In other words, she was slowly beginning to have her name cleared, which was theplete opposite of what she thought would happen.
If she wasnt able to quit the industry after being crushed, then itll be hard to get rid of her heroine halo, and the golden finger bearing supporting female lead Qin Xue wont let her go this simply.
So what was she going to doDid she really have to continue working as a contractor in the entertainment industry?
Sheid on her bed and yed games all afternoon. At night, Xiaoke brought Tuantuan over to y.
When Tuantuan saw her Mamaying on the bed with pimples all over her face, she thought she had contracted some sort of terminal illness. The chubby little girl ran over and climbed onto the bed,ying on top of her and burying her head on her chest, saying weakly, Dont die, Qiqi. Tuantuan doesnt want you to die. Tuantuan wants you to be finePlease dont die?
Lin Yueqi could hardly breathe with Tuantuan on top of her and coughed a few times. If you keep pressing down on me like this I really might die.
Xiaoke walked over and picked the chubby little girl off her body.
Even after leaving the bed, Tuantuan wasnt willing to stay even a step away from Lin Yueqi. She sat on the chair by the bed and clutched her hand tightly with her chubby hands.
Xiaoke asked worriedly, So what happened to you?
As soon as she said that, the doctor walked in with theb reports and said, Miss Lin is fine. Its just a small fever. As for the pimple on her face, we cant find the cause. Miss Lin should sleep and wake early during this period of time, take more vegetables, do more exercise, and if the inmmation doesnt go away in a month,e back to the hospital.
Chapter 52 - We’re Not Meant for Each Other (3)
Ch.52 Were Not Meant for Each Other(3)
When Tuantuan heard what the doctor said, she breathed a sigh of relief. Patting her tummy, she said, Good thing my Qiqi is okay. Otherwise, otherwise
Otherwise what?
Tuantuan cradled her belly and patted them like drums. Tuantuan will be heartbroken
Xiaoke corrected her, Tuan-jie, thats your tummy, not your heart.
Tuantuan wrinkled her tiny little brows and said seriously, But the tummy is connected to the heart. If my heart hurts, then of course my tummy will hurt too!
Strong words. Xiaoke reached out to tickle the tip of her nose before turning to Lin Yueqi. Oh, thats right, Sister Qi. Ive got good news and bad news. Thepetition ended on the first episode because you were too tough. Youpletely robbed Qin Xue of her glory, so the big daddy sponsor of thepetition is unhappy and is now asking to rece you. But theyll still pay you for three episodes. The good news is, Boss Li from Jiachen Media called to say he wanted to sign you under hispany and promised to offer you some good gigs.
Getting money for no work does sound pretty good. Whats Jiachen Media though?
Xiaoke exined, Huachen Media is one of the countrys top film and televisionpanies and their artists are top of the line. I heard some gossip that Qin Xue attempted to hook up with Li Xing but she was rejected. Its because Jiachen Media rejected her that she went to Maice to snatch the no.1 position from you. Sister Qi, I think this will be a good opportunity. Why dont you think about it? Dont leave the entertainment industry, hm? Who knows, maybe Jiachen can turn you over? You have nopany to back you up now and everyone thinks youre down and out. Theres plenty of movies asking for you as the supporting female lead but they always give you the annoying viin roles and youre paid very little. If you sign with Jiachen, itll naturally be all leading roles for you.
I dont wanna sign under apany. After some thought, Lin Yueqi asked, Annoying viin characters? How annoying are they?
Xiaoke looked speechlessly at her and said, Theres a movie that stars Qin Xue and youre offered the role as the third supporting female viin. I checked her characterization and shes the type whos rotten to the bones. There was a historical drama that became a huge hit just a month ago and the big viin in the show was scolded so terribly that she had to quit Weibo and was suffering from depression.
Lin Yueqis eyes lit up and she immediately caught Xiaokes arm. Ill do it! Ill do it! Its hard enough getting a role nowadays, Ill do it!
Xiaoke said, Please think it over, Sister Qi!
In theizens eyes, she would be the viin as long as she appeared in the same show as Qin Xue. The worse the character was, the more immersive it was for the audience. When that timees, theizens willugh and say shes just acting out her own character.
She was originally Maices no.1 girl, but now shes ying the support role for Qin Xue. Theizens will definitely think that shes really fallen down low. First, shell ruin their impression of her with the viin role, then take in all the mocking
This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her to get rid of the heroine halo
*
At 9 oclock that night, Lin Yueqi posted a photo of her face covered in pimples to Weibo. Im the most beautiful in the world! No rebuttals epted!
The photo of her skin covered in e caused theizens to shiver. Please! Give her a good taste of inte! violence! Let her heroine halo be stripped off bit by bit!
Just three minutes after the post, the new CEO of the Qiancheng Group who had never shown his face, Lu Ting, reposted her photo.
Lu TingV, Take good care on recovering and dont post random photos.
Theizens were all confused. ?? Whats going on?
About a dozen secondster, Lu Ting reposted hiswyers post.
Thewyer issued a letter to sue all the self-media who posted rumors that Lin Yueqi escorted him for drinks during her college days and that Tuantuan was a bastard.
After reposting it, Lu Ting said, Yeah. Im Tuantuans father.
Weibo was paralyzed by the bombardment of this news. And, Qin Xues eyes were instantly bloodshot when she saw the news on her assistants phone. She nearly crushed her phone.
Since she transferred her punishment over, she used up too much of her positive energy and her emotions were getting harder and harder to control.
Qin Xue was still getting her makeup done when the crew came in, asking her to head over to the set.
But the crew member had spoken only to see her throw her phone out and sweeping everything off the dressing table in front of her like a lunatic.
Both the crew member and the makeup artist were dumbfounded, finding this woman more and more insane and terrifying.
A system alert sounded in her hear. Beep beepBody Load Warning. Your negative energy is expanding rapidly. The more it gathers the harder it will be to control your emotions. Please take note, please take note!
Chapter 53 - Sudden Reversal (1)
Ch.53 Sudden Reversal(1)
After Qin Xue threw the phone, it flew over the air andnded straight on the makeup artists face, knocking her dizzy.
Covering her eyes, the makeup artist stumbled backwards in pain and nearly fell over. The crew member who came in to usher Qin Xue over to the set came over just in time to hold the makeup artist.
The makeup artists eye that was hit was all red and looked terrifying. Not daring to dy at all, the crew member called 120 immediately.
If she were to go blind just like that, Qin Xue would have to be legally responsible. He really didnt understand. Why would Qin Xue be so impulsive as to do such a thing?
Qin Xue was still on a rampage. Not only did she sweep all the cosmetics onto the floor, she even picked up a stool and smashed the mirror in front of her.
Her crazy appearance was like someonepletely different from her usual Goddess self on screen. She waspletely out of it.
When Qin Xues agent came in and realized the gravity of the situation, he immediately closed the door behind him. He stood in the hallway and instructed the makeup artist and the crew member, Whatever happens today is not to go out, you understand?
The crew member secretly cursed at him but gave him a yes. Then, he helped the makeup artist to the ambnce.
Qin Xue had always kept persona consistent so nobody would believe them even if they told everyone what they saw. Moreover, with her strong capital and power in the circle, nobody hanging around the industry would even dare to offend her.
After about forty minutes, Qin Xue who was without a makeup artist finally walked out of the dressing room.
Even without a make-up artist, the womans make-up look was wless and charming. Simply mesmerizing.
Qin Xues Flourishing Beauty system offered makeup features as well. The first level of this function offered make-up techniquesparable to the top make-up artists in the world. She only reason she kept a makeup artist by her side so she wouldnt be suspected of having a golden finger.
When they got to the set, none of the photographers or other staff on the set dared toin.
After all, this was Qin Xue. Her face alone gave her the right to act big.
Immediately after the shoot, Qin Xue took her phone from the assistant and began looking through Weibo.
She was looking forward to seeing theizens mock Lin Yueqi for being ugly, but the negativements on the were even less than earlier that morning. Not only were there less, there were even moreizensing up to seek justice for Lin Yueqi.
All the news and Weibo headlines were taken by Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi.
#Sole heir to the richest man confesses to Lin Yueqi on Weibo#
#Hes the actual biological father to Lin Yueqis illegitimate daughter!#
#Shock! The sponsor behind Lin Yueqis back finally exposed! Unexpected news!#
Theizensmented on Lin Yueqis selfie.
Goddess, what happened? Why do you have so many pimples? You were fine on the stream yesterday. God, is it an allergy?
Selfie background is at the hospital. Verificationplete.
God, whats going on? But youre probably the only person in the entire entertainment industry who dares to go bare-faced on a TV show and even post a selfie like that. You really are a torrent of the entertainment industry. Youre always different from the rest.
Ugly bitch, daring to post a selfie even when youre so ugly. Who gave you that confidence? What a disgrace. A woman like you will never be a match for my Ah Xue! Youre just a snake whos been consumed by a jealous worm! A disgusting woman like you will never be able to marry. Your daughters just a bastard. :)
Comment above. You think this is retribution for Lin Yueqi? Hahaha
Ahhhhh!! Lu Guohuas grandson reposted Lin Yueqis post! The little girl Tuantuans father is actually the grandson of Billionaire Lu! Oh my God, this news is like a giant melon smashing me right in the face!
Just went to lurk. I was shocked too. I heard Lu Ting has a small family. If Lin Yueqis daughter really is the great-granddaughter of Lu Guohua, Lu Tings daughter, then this youngdy called Lu Ting will be his first heiress! Oh my God, did Lin Yueqi save the gxy in her past life?
Lu Tings Weibo was also bombarded byments from theizens.
Chief Lu! I heard that you just returned? Dont be blinded by that woman. She was an escort in college, that childs definitely not yours. You have to make sure of it! Dont be cheated by her!
WTF, what kind of shocking turn of events is this?
Firstment is too funny. Lu Ting himself admitted to being the childs father, he mustve done the DNA test. You really think rich people are that easy? Doesnt this prove that Lin Yueqi was wronged the whole time?
Here to eat popcorn on the front rows! So is Lin Yueqi going to rise up again? Holding tight on Daddy Lus thick thighs!
Chapter 54 - The Heroine’s Golden Finger? (1)
Ch.54 The Heroines Golden Finger?(1)
As soon as Lu Tings post went live, a video was leaked out.
The video was an interview with the residents of Lin Yueqis hometown.
The reporter showed the residents the video that was was supposed to be video proof of Tuantuan being abused. After the older women watching the video while peeling corn in the yard began discussing it.
Auntie A, That man in the videos not from our vige. How can that fat little girl be abused? Bullied? You reporters are just overthinking it.
Auntie B, Yeah, thats right. Everyone knows that Lin Yues family raises that little girl well. Not only do they have imported milk powder for her she even gets two whole bowls of meat to herself. Shes only five but shes an active girl. Shes always hopping about. You say shes discriminated against by the kids in the vige? Bullied? Come on, shes good a good head on her that one, theres a higher chance of her being the bully!
Auntie C, Where did these peoplee from? How can they nder our Sis Yue and our vige treasure?
The reporter said, The vige treasure?
Auntie C exined, That girl, Lin Yueqi, shes out viges treasure! After she turned into a star she donated a lot of money to fix the roads, opening up the path between our vige and the Qingshan Ancient Town, allowing our vige to be a tourist attraction as well. And also, she also donated a lot of money to build schools. She really did a lot to help out the vige, so tell me, isnt she the vige treasure?
The video above rified that rumors of Lin Yueqi abusing Tuantuan really were just rumors.
The letter of Lu Tingswyer, as well as his own public statement, proved it. As a result, all the public opinion using Lin Yueqi of bad behavior, abusing Tuantuan, and Tuantuan is a bastard, were all shattered.
Even though Lu Ting never made a public appearance, he was, after all, Lu Guohuas grandson, as well as the new CEO of the Qiancheng Group. Just his elite and powerful status in the industry alone was enough to inspire envy.
After the keyboard warriors saw all the nderous material on Lin Yueqi being cleansed, they began throwing salt around again.
Hah, Lu Guohua himself doesnt look like much. Just look at how fat that little girl is, I bet Lu Tung is also a fatty LOLOLOL. Think about it, Lin Yueqi is married to a greasy fatty, isnt that a hrious image? Does that mean our Sister Lin has to sit on top and move on her own during the wedding night? After all, the greasy CEO cant! even! move! Hahahaha
Hahahahament above youre so direct, are you trying to make me choke fromughing? You dont even know how nice her life is after marrying rich hahahahaha.
Firstment, youre going overboard.
The unpleasantments kept popping up under Lin Yueqi and Lu Tings Weibos. This was Lu Tings very first experience of inte violence, and his face grew heavy at the sight of these remarks.
He had been studying overseas the past few years and was even ced in the groups overseas department for training under a different identity. He experienced all sorts of hardships and had even been oppressed by his superiors, framed by his colleagues, and even been used of being gay by his colleagues
Even after all that training, it still didnt feel good to see thosements. He didnt care what others thought of him, but what bothered him was whether the woman who birthed his child could take all of this.
She was so frail, how could she withstand such verbal attacks?
Not only did Lin Yueqi word hard for the sake of their daughter all these years, she even had to endure all the ndering in from all sides on her own. It was as if the words and punctuation marks typed out by those keyboard warriors wereced with poison, enough to take a life with one prick.
Chapter 55 - The Heroine’s Golden Finger? (2)
Ch.55 The Heroines Golden Finger?(2)
Li Xing sent him a message. Hey bro, theyre calling you a greasy fatty online, youre just gonna take it? Youre not gonna argue back? Youre really tolerant huh.
What, should I be stepping on the ants who are trying to challenge me? You want me to fight them with a magnifying ss? Lu Ting paused for a moment before asking, How are Lin Yueqis matters going?
Oh, she rejected me straight out. I cant help you on that one. She actually turned me down to ept the role of a third supporting viiness in a movie. Ive seen the script for that one, the character isnt very likable. Im pretty sure your sweetheart is going to be scolded real bad when the moviees out, so you better be mentally prepared. Im so hurt right now, is my offer not even worth looking at? Damn it, I thought all stars had nothing but admiration for me but it seems like Im overthinking it. Your woman has seeded in grabbing my attention.
A star without a team will definitely be at a disadvantage in the circle.
For example, the recent all-out ndering of Lin Yueqi had her singled out on purpose, putting her in a dangerous situation with no room to defend herself.
Li Xing probably knew what he was thinking and said, Dont worry Old Lu. Weve been buddies for so many years, Ill definitely help you. What about this? Mypany will handle all the future marketing and PR crises for Lin Yueqi. Didnt you sponsor one of my IPs recently? Im in need of someone to take on the role of a likable supporting female. Ill ask her if shes interested some other time.
Alright.
While the two were chatting, Li Xing suddenly sent him another shocked reaction. Holy shit, take a look at Weibo, Old Lu. What on earth did your woman just post? Is she trying to get back at you for going silent on her all those years?
Lu Ting opened up Weibo and frowned.
Lin YueqiV, Ridiculous. I have nothing to do with Lu Ting. We werent even close in college. Also, I picked up Tuantuan back then so I could cheat him into a marriage, shes not even Lu Tings real daughter. I just want to repent for my wicked sins in theing future, I wont ept any misrepresentation of me in the future. Ill take good care of Tuantuan so that she can grow up peacefully and happily. Please stop making random guesses. Mr. Lu never even did a DNA test with Tuantuan. If he really does want to know her identity then he can seek me out in the hospital, Ill provide him with a lock of Tuantuans hair.
The popcorn was being passed around and around this entire day, theizens had even given up on sleep and were all waiting for more tea.
Please miss can you post tomorrow? Its hard for a student to eat popcorn all night.
Oh my god is Lin Yueqi crazy? Shes finallye to ndering herself after being ndered so much by theizens?
Whats going on? Someone please give me some context.
Just analyze it from a womans perspective. When Lin Yueqi was being ndered the most, she never said who the father was. Based on Lu Tings personality, she might even be able to gain some fans if Lin Yueqi made it public but she never ever confirmed the fathers identity. And now shes suddenly saying she has nothing to do with Lu Ting. Its clear that shes just saying the opposite thing. Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi must have truly been in love in the past and Lu Ting must have done something to wrong her and made her sad, thats why she wont admit their rtionship. You know, women are always the ones who get hurt in a rtionship.
My heart really goes out to Lin Yueqi after reading thement above. People were still using her of being a bad mother just a few days ago, but now that I look at it, isnt she possibly the best mother in the world? A woman is weak, but a mother is strong. She gave up on her golden thigh to earn her own keep in the entertainment industry so she can afford to feed her baby. So that her child wont be disturbed by the outside world, she sent her to the home of her aunt back in her hometown so the child can grow up healthily and happily. She really cares for her a lot. All these years, she has to deal with the stress of being a single parent and still has to bear with the stress of being insulted by everyone.
Chapter 56 - The Heroine’s Golden Finger? (3)
Ch.56 The Heroines Golden Finger? (3)
Shes an escort, her babys a bastard, all fake news. Her abusing her child is fake news too. That also proves that half of what she said to Qin Xue in the live stream is real. Then, the other halfDid Qin Xue really pull the child into the show on purpose? Is Lin Yueqis disfigurement really rted to her?
Its a scary thought. Actually, I think Lin Yueqi looks really good. I dont know how to judge her beauty. Shes got an upbeat vibe in her and a lot of positive energy. Im on her side this time!
Bitch Lins fans really are good at cleaning her name. That makes sense though. After all, Bitch Lin managed totch onto a golden thigh. Poor Qin Xue, she doesnt have a backer as strong as that. Haha.
Lu Ting got someone to do some PR work on the for Lin Yueqi and the entire was now promoting the contents that dispelled all the rumors. Not only did this lead to the sessfully cleansing of Lin Yueqis reputation, but her name was even cemented on the headlines.
It seems that these headlines were there to stay the course.
And she, too, has sessfully be the most talked about celebrity of this year.
Lin Yueqi was looking on her phone on the hospital bed while the chubby little girl sat on the chair next to her, clumsily peeling an orange for her.
Bit by bit, she tore off the orange peel and cleaned up the white pith. Then, she crawled onto the bed and brought the slices to Lin Yueqis mouth. Qiqi, its Tuantuans loving orange slice.
Lin Yueqis hands were shaking as she held her phone. Fuck your grandpa, Lu Ting! Did I dig your ancestors grave in myst life to be your heroine in this one?!
Qiqi, what does fuck your grandpa mean?
Only then did Lin Yueqie back to her senses. She had blurted obscenities in front of her child. After all, she was the one who gave birth to the girl, she mustve inherited some of her rebellious nature as a youth as well.
Lin Yueqi said with a straight face, You heard me wrong. I just said I love your papa.
Wow.
Tuantuan pressed the tangerine slice on her lip, so she opened her mouth to chew on it.
Tuantuan sat up and, while stroking her head, she said, My Mama has grown up, Mama has learned to put the past behind her. Papa will definitely be happy when he hears it.
Lin Yueqi looked up at her. Tuan-jie, dont you hate him?
Why would Tuantuan hate Papa? Papa exined to me, he said he didnt know of Tuantuans existence. He also said he will take Tuantuan to eat the best meat in the world. Doesnt Mama always say in the past that a kid who rights their wrongs is a good kid? Papa is a good kid, Mama is a good kid, Tuantuan is also a good kid. The chubby girl hooked her arms around her neck and rubbed her cheek with her own, saying, Were all good kids, thats why were family~
Lin Yueqis heart was filled with pain and anguish by the news of the Lin Yueqi Reversal Incident. She held her chest and wept in pain.
Tuantuan grabbed the sleeve of her autumn jacket and helped her wipe her tears while patting her back tofort her. Dont cry, Qiqi. Tuantuan knows youre touched but you dont need to cry so hard. People might even think Papa is bullying you.
Lin Yueqi raised her head to the sky and shouted, Xiaoke! My mind is broken! Quick! Bring my Five Years Gaokao 3 years Simtion Tests over!
Xiaoke, She immediately took out the 5-3 she just bought from her bag and passed it to her.
It was only after receiving the book that Lin Yueqi felt better.
While doing the questions, she thought in her mind.
Why is the male lead doing this to her? Why are the questions in 5-3 so easy? What did she do wrong that Lu Ting is so into her? What on earth did he do wrong that he had to dispel the rumors for her?
Lin Yueqi muttered, I dont need this
Xiaokes mouth twitched beside her bed and she spat, So solving test questions is the ultimate meaning of your happiness, huh?
Tuantuan really thought her mother was inspirational that she would begin solving questions as soon as she thought of Papa. Tuantuan made a resolve in her heart that she was going to be just like her mama, studying well and improving herself every day, taking homework as a source of pleasure.
Tuantuan jumped off the bed and put on her slippers before grabbing Lin Yueqis phone from the nightstand and running to the lounge nearby to secretly give Lu Ting a call.
Chapter 57 - The Heroine’s Golden Finger? (4)
Ch.57 The Heroines Golden Finger?(4)
She held therge phone in her hands with her small meaty hands and dialed a number before putting it near her ear.
After a few beeps, Tuantuan shouted with her childish voice into the phone, Baba Baddie, is that you?
The little girl was beginning to grow out her adult teeth during that period so air would leak through her lost teeth when she spoke and her pronunciation wasnt so clear. She managed to turn Papa into Baba because of that.
Huh? Tuantuan.
Lu Ting was going through his documents when he received the call. He held his phone up to his ears on his shoulder while he flipped through the papers, signing them.
The little girl covered the mic with a small chubby hand and whispered, Papa, Mama seems very touched, shes crying like a monkey.
Lu Tingughed. Really?
The little girl nodded heavily before speaking as seriously as she could, Ya, Mama is super moved. Papa, can youe to the hospital to sleep with Mama and Tuantuan in the future? You two already have Tuantuan, its not right to not sleep together, right?
Thats right.
Lu Ting gave her a casual reply but he quickly realized what she said. Heughed and said, Tuantuan, me and your Mama arent a legal couple yet so we cant sleep together. Dont worry, Papa will openly pursue your Mama and get her back to his side. Then we will be reunited as a family again. Wait for Papa, okay?
Tuantuan pouted her little mouth and spoke with a bit of sadness in her voice. Then, can Papa visit Tuantuan often in the future to cook met for Tuantuan? You said you would give Tuantuan the best meat in the world
Blood was thicker than water, and as soon as the young girl called him Papa, his heart melted.
Lu Ting even wanted to take her into his arms through his phone and give her a soft pat on the head.
Lu Ting promised her, Papa will bring you out this weekend so you can eat meat, okay?
Okay! Tuantuan raised up her pinky in the air and said, Pinky swear! Whoever breaks the promise is a turtle!
Lu Ting answered her in a pampering tone, Alright.
After secretly finishing her call with her Papa, the chubby little girl opened up a game and pretended to y some PUBG for a bit. When Xiaoke entered and saw her ying games, she quickly grabbed the phone from her, rambling on, Little children shouldnt y games so much. What if you ruin your eyes?
A small table wasid out over Lin Yueqis bed while her lower body was covered by a warm nket. Sheid down over the small table with her pen in hand, writing furiously.
Due to the sense of aplishment she was gaining from solving the questions, her positive energy naturally began radiating as well.
However, nobody noticed it.
For every ten big questions she did, she would gain 0.5 points of positive energy, and that energy was attacking the punishment mechanism of the Flourishing Beauty system, causing the pimples on her face to disappear little by little. At first, these changes werent obvious, but as Lin Yueqi did more and more, the pimples on her face went away and the changes became more and more obvious.
Xiaoke was out in the living room working on her stuff Only the chubby girl who had just walked in noticed the magical changes on Lin Yueqis face. She thought that her eyes were ying tricks on her and rubbed them hard, but she saw even more pimples missing from her Mamas face.
The little girl was shocked. She took off her shoes and crawled onto the bed, burrowing into Lin Yueqis nket and observed Lin Yueqi who was working on the questions seriously.
She watched as the pimple on Lin Yueqis left cheek evaporated into thin air. Tuantuan moved closer to Lin Yueqi and poked at her dimple with a short chubby little finger.
Her sweet baby voice rang out in Lin Yueqis ears. Mama, the pimples on your face are gone! Amazing! Can you do magic, Mama?
Lin Yueqi was solving a physics question so she didnt pay too much attention to her. While writing, she said, You little girl, a sweet mouth can only go so far, you know? Its no good to lie.
To prove she wasnt lying, Tuantuan grabbed the mirror from the nightstand and brought it to her face.
Lin Yueqi stared at the mirror and was in disbelief. The pimples on both her cheeks suddenly disappeared and the skin was even smoother than before.
Chapter 58 - First Defeat for the Wicked Supporting Female Lead (1)
Ch.58 First Defeat for the Wicked Supporting Female Lead(1)
There were only a few pimples left on her forehead and jaw. At this moment, she had a suspicion in her heart that the disappearance of these pimples had something to do with her solving the questions.
So, she began looking at a mirror while she solved the questions, whichsted until midnight.
It was quiet in the dead of the night, leaving behind only the soft breathing sounds of the young girl as well as the constant scribbling of Lin Yueqis pen.
After tucking the chubby little girl in with a nket, Lin Yueqi was shocked to find that all the pimples were gone from her face!
She managed to sum up a pattern. For every ten questions she solves, she will have some changes on her face and some of her pimples will suddenly disappear. After finishing 80 questions in one breath, all the pimples were gone from her face and her skin was fair and rosy as before.
Lin Yueqi touched the smooth skin of her face. This change really was mysterious.
Could it be, she had a system and a golden finger too? And that her golden finger is to turn beautiful by solving questions? But why had she never felt the presence of a system? Was it transparent, perhaps?
In order to confirm her suspicions, Lin Yueqi began working on the questions again till five in the morning.
She continued to look in the mirror and noticed that after the pimples disappeared, no other changes appeared on her face. The light red scar on her face was still there and did not change as she did more questions.
Lin Yueqi understood. Turns out her golden finger was to remove pimples by solving questions.
Might as well not have a golden finger if thats all it does. Compared to the supporting female leads Flourishing Beauty system on the other hand, that golden finger was simply unbeatable.
Inside a suburban vi.
Qin Xue had just put on a mask and was leaning back on the sofa with her legs crossed, listening quietly to her Assistant, Tang Haoran, as he reported on her work.
Tang Haoran spoke while typing on hisptop, Ah Xue, the role for the xianxia movie is set. You are the female lead, and the male lead is a neer thats being nurtured under Li Xings banner. The potential is definitely there. Also, the director told me that the third supporting viiness is also set. Its Lin Yueqi. She doesnt have many parts in the movie but her character is extremely hateful. Not only is she your supporting character this time, shes also taking on a role like that. You could say shes destroying her own reputation.
Qin Xue patted the mask of her face, giving him a casual hum in response before asking, How are the arrangements going for the?
Right now, Lin Yueqi is being backed by Lu Ting. Her PR piece has gone out all over the web and traffic is high. Ive already arranged formenters to continue creating public opinion, so dont worry. Its easier to create rumors than it is to dispel them. Manyizens only believe in the worst sides of a female star. They will automatically ignore all the evidence and believe the rumors. Then, Tang Haoran took out an invitation and handed it to her. The annual dinner for the Qiancheng Group is happening this weekend and youve been invited as a guest. Both Lu Guohua and Lu Ting will be there. Ah Xue, what man would be able to resist themselves from your beauty? I dont think Lu Ting wouldve wanted to have anything to do with Lin Yueqi if it wasnt for the girl. I remember that you had a pretty good rtionship with the girl too on the show, so why not
Qin Xue was silent the whole time and just kept staring at her assistant.
Tang Haoran chuckled, Why not use that little girl to make Lu Ting disgusted with Lin Yueqi.
Qin Xue took off her mask and picked up her mirror.
Her perfectly beautiful face was reflected in the mirror. She believed that no man could resist that allure.
And, she believed that shell definitely be able to get her hold on Lu Ting as well.
As she was thinking about this, the system sounded in her ears, System warning: The heroine is attacking the punishment mechanism with positive energy. Punishment transfer retracted. System maintenance in progress, maintenance in progress
After hearing that sound in her ears, Qin Xues eyes turned sinister.
Chapter 59 - First Defeat for the Wicked Supporting Female Lead (2)
Ch.59 First Defeat for the Wicked Supporting Female Lead(2)
So what if the punishment was retracted? A photo of Lin Yueqis face filled with pimples was already posted online. After Lu Ting has seen Lin Yueqis face like that, her ugly image probably shattered the good impression he had of her during his youth.
She just had to appear in front of Lu Ting and men would automaticallypare her flourishing beauty with Lin Yueqis ugly mug. The results of thisparison will be clear.
After all, what man would ept an ugly woman and reject the most beautiful woman who is lusted after by all the men in the world?
Thinking this, Qin Xue smiled.
When Assistant Tang Haoran saw the corners of her lips curving up slightly, he somehow felt a wicked feeling emanating from her. At this moment, Qin Xue actually reminded him of that old witch from Snow White, sending chills down his spine.
Early the next morning, Xiaoke and Tuantuan were surprised to find that all the pimples on Lin Yueqis face had disappeared.
Even the doctors have never heard of such an event. They immediately called over a team of experts to study her conditions. After a long discussion by the experts, conclusions were drawn.
The team agreed that Lin Yueqi must have encountered a peculiar allergen in the mountains which caused symptoms of e to appear on her face, which disappeared after she metabolized the allergen through the night.
As magical as it sounds, the experts had to find some way to exin her condition.
On the day Lin Yueqi was discharged from the hospital, Lu Ting put down his work and came to pick her up.
When she saw Lu Ting walk in, she immediately saw red. Lu Ting had just walked over to the bed when she jumped up immediately and grabbed him by the neck. Lu Ting, I
Before she could even burst out in curses, she caught a glimpse of the chubby little girls misty eyes from the corner of her eye.
Lin Yueqi immediately pushed down her anger and chuuni emotions, forcibly putting on a smile and letting Lu Ting go. She pretended to stroke his neck and Adams apple, saying, Wow, Lu Ting, I havent seen you for a day and Ive just realized how beautiful your neck looks.
After her reluctant praise, the atmosphere was awkward. But she couldnt be violent with Lu Ting in front of the girl after all.
She must not allow her chuuni impulses to affect a child in their growing years.
Thinking this, Lin Yueqi felt that being a mother wasnt so easy. She was only seventeen years old, she was a baby herself but she had to be a role model for the little girl. What did she do wrong to have to suffer through this?
Being a heroine is even harder than living life in the entertainment industry. All heroines must have been fallen angels in their past lives.
Lu Ting grasped her wrist with a straight face and leaned down close to her ear and said, No hurry. Ill make sure you get a chance in the future. Pack up, its time to go.
Seems like her daughter didnt lie to him. Lin Yueqi really did have a soft heart despite her harsh mouth and missed him plenty.
She clearly wanted to hug him but she still had to restrain herself at this juncture.
Lin Yueqi red at him, humphed, and got out of bed to change in the next room.
After she left, Tuantuan reached out to Lu Ting, asking to be picked up.
Lu Ting smiled and picked up the girl. He asked, So? How was it? Did your mama have a good sleep these past few days in the hospital?
Mamas pimples are gone so she sleeps happily at night. Papa, Mama actually really likes being pretty, she cares a lot about her face. I saw mama looking at a mirror while solving questions that night. Mama must have been very sad when she had the pimples but she had to pretend she was fine. Tuantuan reached out a small hand to tug on Lu Tings ear. Papa, Mama is very pitiful. Lets make a vow to protect Mama from getting hurt in the future, okay?
Being tugged by the little girl, Lu Tings ears felt a little hot. He nodded. Okay.
Chapter 60 - First Defeat for the Wicked Supporting Female Lead (3)
Ch.60 First Defeat for the Wicked Supporting Female Lead(3)
Tuantuan immediately raised her fingers to the ceiling, saying, I, Lin Tuantuan, swears to the sky. I will protect mama from now on and if I go against my vow, I, Lin Tuantuan will have no meat to eat for the rest of my life. Your turn, Papa.
Lu Ting couldnt help butugh at the sight of the young girl making a vow so seriously. He raised his fingers and said with a smile, I, Lu Ting, vow to my daughter that I will protect Lin Yueqi from today on. If I go against my word, then I will never marry again. Hows that?
Tuantuan frowned and twisted Lu Tings ears 180. She humphed, As if! You actually thought about marrying someone other than Mama! Im angry!
Lu Tingughed and immediately sumbed. He changed his wording and said, If I go against my word, then Ill be alone for the rest of my life.
Satisfied, Tuantuan spared his ears and cupped his face for a kiss. Papa is the best.
After finding out that Lin Yueqi was going to be discharged from the hospital, the reporter squatted outside the hospital for the whole night.
The moment the sunsses-wearing Lin Yueqi was escorted out of the hospital by her assistant and bodyguard, someone immediately shouted on impulse, Its Lin Yueqi! Lin Yueqi is out!
With that, all the reporters swarmed Lin Yueqi.
The reporters found that Lin Yueqis skin was so fair and rosy, showing no signs of having pimples at all. Combined with her self-hatingments on Weibo, the reporters seemed to have guessed something.
They shoved their microphones into Lin Yueqis face and began asking questions.
Miss Lin, you nder yourself with no holds barred online and even posted a picture of yourself with pimples. Excuse me, did you deliberately photoshop your face to make it ugly before posting it? Is the purpose of your self nder to get back at Lu Ting, the father of your child?
They say on the that Mr. Lu had betrayed you, so even when the entire was ndering you, you never confirmed that Tuantuan was Mr. Lus daughter and also never used her to hold Mr. Lus thigh. Is this true?
Miss Lin, may I ask what kind of person Mr. Lu is? Is it because Mr. Lu is too fat and ugly that you wont ept him?
Faced with the reporters chattering, Lin Yueqi raised her hand and said, Im not ndering myself. I was speaking the truth. Also, theyre right. I am unwilling to ept Mr. Lu because hes too ugly and I cant be bothered to use Tuantuan as a tool for marriage any longer. Is there anything else you want to ask?
The reporters, It seems like Lin Yueqi really does n to go to the end with this. She doesnt want to reveal any of her true thoughts to reporters like them at all.
Soon, someone noticed the handsome man holding the chubby little girl behind Lin Yueqi.
The man was dressed in a bespoke suit with a tall figure and long legs. He gave off an impressive aura and was standing silently behind Lin Yueqi. He didnt look to be a bodyguard.
The bodyguards opened up a path in the crowd by force and escorted Lin Yueqi and the man into a ck sedan.
On the way home to drop off Lin Yueqi, Lu Ting offered to have Tuantuan stay at his ce for two days.
At first, Lin Yueqi didnt agree. However, when she learned that Lu Ting had already done the DNA test with Tuantuans hair, she gave up her strugglepletely.
The male lead operates like a tiger, leaving her defenseless.
Turns out Lu Ting was a step before her when she returned to the vige and had seen Tuantuan, even taking away a sample of Tuantuans DNA.
Its no wonder he was so sure that Tuantuan was really his daughter.
Lin Yueqis head was burning.
Lu Ting had already confirmed that Tuantuan was his daughter, so he would definitely find a way to keep Tuantuan by his side. But she couldnt get married to Lu Ting. If she marries him, her life would go back on that same old path.
Lin Yueqi fell deep into thought, and soon, a guess popped up in her head.
If she insists on not marrying Lu Ting, would there be a butterfly effect? If she bes Passerby A, will Tuantuans identity as the second generation heroine change as well?
Chapter 61 - First Defeat for the Wicked Supporting Female Lead (4)
Ch.61 First Defeat for the Wicked Supporting Female Lead(4)
Since she couldnt pry Tuantuan away from Lu Ting for the time being, she needed to find a way topletely reduce herself to a passerby.
For the sake of the girl, she had to work hard.
Before getting off the car, Lu Ting handed her an invitation. The annual dinner of the Qiancheng Group is being held this weekend. Many reporters will be there. I would like to invite you as a special guest of the Qiancheng Group.
A lot of media reporters?
Yes. Many stars will be there too.
And Qin Xue?
Lu Ting, If you dont like her, I can rece her.
No need. Please make sure to put us at the same table.
Lu Ting was puzzled. Why so?
Lin Yueqi, I want to fight with her to the bitter end, is that a good enough answer?
Yes.
The reporters failed to dig anything out of Lin Yueqis mouth so they made a big deal out of the photo of Lu Ting carrying Tuantuan instead.
The reason Lin Yueqi wont ept the grandson of the richest man is because of him
Lin Yueqis secret lover has a face that can rival the Film Emperor.
Hes Lin Yueqis secret boyfriend, beating Lu Ting with just looks alone
The photo of Lu Ting holding the child was leaked online. Even under the HD cameras, his face still packed in the heat. Theizens were all in awe at his face.
Ahhh, hes so handsome! He looks so Gary Stu when hes holding the girl!
No wonder Lin Yueqi wont ept Lu Ting. Turns out shes been raising a twink? His face is seriously divine.
Yeah, of course shed choose a handsome young man like that. Who would choose a greasy rich man anyway?
My God, isnt the face value of Lin Yueqis secret boyfriend really against the heavens? Lin Yueqi isnt short but she still only reaches the mans chest. Does that mean hes more than 190cm tall? So handsome, does he have no ns of entering the entertainment industry?
Heh, you can tell he just wants to join the industry. How can he beat the rich Lu Ting with just his face? Lu Ting has the money, do they even need to fight? He must be together with that ugly bitch Lin Yueqi to suck up her resources. Heh, the industry is too materialistic.
+1. I heard that Lin Yueqi sleeps with beautiful young men like him exclusively. Just her way of life. Tsktsk.
Keyboard warrior above, why are you guys so cancerous? The stories really just flow out of your mouths. What, cant take it when someones happy?
The topic of #good-looking brother PK rich man Lu Ting# stayed on the Weibo homepage for several days.
Many stars received invitations to Qiancheng Groups annual dinner over the weekend. The media also released news that the grandson of the richest man, Lu Guohua, would make an appearance that day.
Qin Xue and Lin Yueqi, two female stars who have been all the talk of the intetely, will also be participating.
Netizensmented:
I wanna see how ugly Lu Ting is LOLOLOL
Just look at Tuantuan and youll know. She probably got her face from her mother and the body from her father.
On the weekend, the annual dinner of the Qiancheng Group was held at Junting International Hotel.
Qin Xue was the twelfth star to arrive, and when she stepped off the car in her custom D brand dress, screams erupted from both sides of the red carpet as the fans and media all went mad.
Qin Xue on video was gorgeous enough, but she was even more beautiful in real life. Her appearancepletely dwarfed that of the actresses appearing before her.
Qin Xue dragged her long dress into the hotel and signed in at the door before epting photos.
The press were crowding her to take photos while a noisymotion rang out from outside.
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, Lin Yueqi is here. The reporters who were taking photos of Qin Xue immediately turned to look.
Lin Yueqi was dressed in a casual denim outfit as she led the chubby girl out of the car.
The denim outfit that Tuantuan was wearing was a shrunken down version of what Lin Yueqi was wearing. since she was fat, the denim outfit just looked like a loose sweatshirt. And, on her back was a small yellow schoolbag. It was adorable.
They had to admit, the cuteness of the chubby girl was Lin Yueqis ultimate weapon. Lin Yueqi arrived practically with no makeup on, but she exuded a pure air around her.
And the chubby little girl beside her was pure and adorable, adding a special charm to her.
One big and one small, the two came down hand in hand. In contrast to Qin Xues flourishing beauty, Lin Yueqi and the little girls matching outfit seemed more likely to be tomorrows news headlines.
After all, the aesthetic fatigue was umting in everyone from news of Qin Xues flourishing beauty. On the other hand, Lin Yueqi and the little girl dressing in matching denim outfits on the red carpet was a breath of fresh air.
Moreover, there was more to write about with Lin Yueqi as she was here to participate in the annual dinner of her ex-loverspany.
And so, Qin Xue who was already posing for the camera watched as the reporters left her side to surround Lin Yueqi and the girl instead.
Chapter 62 - Supporting Female Lead’s Weight Suddenly Gains 10 Jin (1)
Ch.62 Supporting Female Leads Weight Suddenly Gains 10 Jin(1)
Qin Xue was standing not far away, looking at the mother and daughter pair dressed in matching outfits, her chest burning with rage. She was so disgusted that she was unable to control her expression, and her hatred for Lin Yueqi was practically pouring out from her eyes.
The staff member at the side reminded her, Miss Qin, should I bring you in?
Only then did Qin Xuee back to her senses and followed the staff member into the hotel.
The reporters flocked to them, but the mother and daughter pair ignored thempletely and began talking to each other.
Tuantuan was holding Lin Yueqis hand and craned her neck up to speak to her, Mama, everyones taking photos of you, you must be really pretty today. But theres so many people. Why dont you carry me, Mama! If Tuantuan gets stepped on, Tuantuan might turn into a meat patty.
Tuantuan reached her hands out towards Lin Yueqi, asking to be picked up.
Clearly, the girl was tired of walking by herself and had to find a reason like this to get her to pick her up.
Tsk tsk, how sly. No wonder she gave birth to her.
Lin Yueqi looked down to her and said, Tuan-jie, how is that fair? Youre tired but Im tired too. Besides, youre so meaty. Can I even carry you with my weak chicken arms?
Tuantuan stomped her feet in ce and was impatient to be held. Come on, pick me up! Tuantuan can just suck in her round belly, then Mama wont think Tuantuan is heavy anymore.
Lin Yueqi, ??? Tuan-jie, dont try to cheat me cause Im ignorant. Even if you suck in your tummy, the meat is still on your body!
The mother and daughter looked at each other and began mutually abusing each other,pletely ignoring the reporters around them.
The reporters, ?? So, how can this mother and daughter pair just ignore them? Shouldnt Lin Yueqi be showing off her spoiled girl setting in front of the authors? Why are youining about your daughter being fat
Lin Yueqi lowered her head to look at Tuantuan. Tuantuan was craning her small head up to look at Lin Yueqi.
The twopletely ignored the reporters surrounding them.
Tuantuan who was dressed in the denim outfit with the yellow duck backpack on her back pouted her lips and crossed her chubby arms across her chest. Hmph. Im not gonna talk to Mama anymore. Mama is a bad mama. Wang Xiaomeis Mama from next door picks her up every day.
Lin Yueqi exposed her mercilessly, But you weigh twice as much as Wang Xiaomei. If you were the same weight as Wang Xiaomi, then not only would I pick you up every day, Id even use you as a dumbbell.
Qiqi! This is a personnel attack! I object! Tuantuan raised her fists in a gesture of protest.
Lin Yueqi was unconcerned. You have to ept the facts. You eat far more than your peers and developed early. Other kids get their new teeth in when theyre six but youre only five and your teeth areing out. All in all, youre now a matured little girl so you have to learn to walk on your own.
Undaunted, Tuantuan raised her fist and continued bargaining, Then, well y rock paper scissors! If you lose, carry me!
Lin Yueqi rolled up her sleeves right then and there and clenched her fists, putting on a look of determination. Alright little girl, dont get too cocky. Ive never lost in rock paper scissors in my life! Everyone, please take the recordings. We need to be absolutely fair here.
One corner of Tuantuans mouth raised up, revealing a scornful smirk. Stop bragging, Mama. Tuantuan is unbeatable!
The reporters looked at the girl, then at Lin Yueqi again.
What kind of strange mother-daughterbination was this? Do they even remember that they came for the dinner?
Rock paper scissors, the deathmatch. The reporters pressed down their stopwatches and counted, 3-2-1. At the end of it, Lin Yueqi and Tuantuanid down their hands at the same time. The former put out rock, and thetter paper.
Lin Yueqi was bewildered. Sheactually lost to a fat girl?
Joy left Lin Yueqis world as she crouched down with a reluctant face. The chubby girl climbed up her back with joy and hooked her arms around her neck.
Only when Lin Yueqi stood up again with the girl on her back did the reporters bring their mics over to ask her questions.
Miss Lin, they say that you are rejecting Mr. Lu Tings confession because of a secret boyfriend. Is this news correct?
Lin Yueqi had a thin body so the chubby girl behind her was like a b of iron, weighing her heavily down.
She took a deep breath and nodded her head. Carrying the girl on her back, she took a few steps forward. Yes, of course. Are they still talking about my bad behavior on the? No need to doubt, no need to specte. My private life is a mess.
The reporter,
Lin Yueqi is starting to self nder again. Can they even do a proper interview anymore?

Ch.63 Supporting Female Leads Weight Suddenly Gains 10 Jin(2)
Reporter B then asked, I heard that you went to provoke her in private because you were jealous of her beauty, but never expected her to harm you instead, causing your disfigurement. Is this news true?
Before Lin Yueqi could answer, the girl on her back let out a snort and patted her shoulder with her meaty hands, saying, Mama, theyre so annoying. Go quickly and ignore those annoying people.
Reporter C quickly put the focus on Tuantuan and continued asking, I heard you came to the annual dinner at the invitation of Mr. Lu. Are you swayed by Mr. Lus strong confessions on the at all? Are you here to get together with Mr. Lu again? They say that Mr. Lu is not a very attractive man, if so, why did you choose to be with him in the first ce? Is it because of money? It was said that your family was poor before you became a star. Did you date Mr. Lu because you were short on money?
Lin Yueqi swept a nce at the reporter. She knew that this reporter was definitely setting her up for some of his tricks with a question like that.
Faced with a reporter who was trying to put her in an embarrassing situation, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She immediately said, Thats impossible. I have an even cuter boy now. Of course I was with Mr. Lu for his money, why else? Because of his peerless looks and his love? No. A snake like me is unworthy of his love! Alright, enough. Make way everybody, make way. This girls heavy as a horse, my hands cant hold on anymore! Excuse me everybody please make way, make way. Excuse me, make way. Please leave Qiqi and the fat girl some space
The reporters made way for her, dumbfounded. They watched as she carried the little girl on her back on top of the red carpet, quickly heading into the hotel.
When she entered the hotel, Reporter A sai, Lin Yueqi is getting smarter and smarter after her setbacks. Shes teetering on the line of white and ck, shes tight-lipped and wont reveal a single thing.
The cameraman said, Why dont we just post what she says? I think its big stuff, dont you?
Reporter A sneered. What do you know? Thats what she says on her Weibo too but its clear shes lying. If we post what she says word for word, then what do you think theizens are gonna say? Theyll all go, oh no! theres too much unscrupulous media these days! How dare they nder Lin Yueqi! Its people like you creating rumors and leading public opinion that Lin Yueqi is so negative now!
The cameraman scratched his head, puzzled. Then what do we do? Why dont you post some of Qin Xues beautiful pictures and give theizens some eye candy?
That wont work anymore. Qin Xues beauty is posted on the each and every day. What we need is a hit! Novelty! QinXues beauty isnt hip at all anymore.
The cameraman said, This wont do, that wont do, why dont you just say Qin Xue is jealous of Lin Yueqi? Heh, is that novel enough? You think people will believe it?
Thats it. The reporter clenched his fists and hugged the cameraman. Oh my God! How are you so smart?! Thats one explosive headline right there! Shit, we cant lose this chance. Ill post it right now! Quick, go and pick out a few pictures of me and well post it togetherter. You better get me another photo of Qin Xue as well!
The annual dinner of the Qiancheng Group was held in the lobby of the first floor in the hotel which could amodate up to two thousand people. Two hundred round tables surrounded therge stage in the center with a gigantic floor-to-ceiling screen disying white words on a red background. Qiancheng Group 20X9 Year-End Dinner.
The two rows closest to the stage were filled with the groups executives with the guest stars at the front as well.
Qin Xue and Lin Yueqis seats were at a table in the middle, and each seat had names on them.
Qin Xue took her seat first while Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan followed closely behind.
Even though the two were at odds, they had to keep their expressions firm. Qin Xue took the initiative to greet her and shot her a gentle smile. What a coincidence, Qiqi. Hello, Tuantuan. Do you still remember big sister?
Tuantuan sat down on her chair, swaying her small legs as she nodded heavily. I remember. But auntie you cant act young, I should be calling you auntie.
Qin Xue,
Lin Yueqi who was drinking water nearly choked when she heard that. She saw that shit-eating look on Qin Xues face and provoked her deliberately. And what do you call me, Tuantuan?
Chapter 64 - Supporting Female Lead’s Weight Suddenly Gains 10 Jin (4)
Ch.64 Supporting Female Leads Weight Suddenly Gains 10 Jin(4)
Tuantuan reached out to cup Lin Yueqis face and gave her a kiss. Youre pretty big sister and shes auntie. Am I right, Qiqi?
Lin Yueqi nodded. Thats right, our Tuantuan is so good with her words.
Qin Xue looked at the mother and daughter pair and was so pissed that she ground her teeth. But she couldnt let it show on such an asion and could only force a smile and continue ying the role of a gentle beauty.
There were a total of ten people at the table, which was seven more besides them. Not only were there famous actors in the circle, but even famous screenwriters and so on.
A female screenwriter couldnt take it anymore and sneered. Is this the sort of education you offer your child, Miss Lin? Turning a good child like her into this? Sure enough, a vige kid knows nothing about rules or manners.
Another male actor didnt find anything wrong with what the child said and even said in a mocking tone, You women shouldnt be so petty. She just missed out the pretty part was all. Are you really going to argue with a child?
The female screenwriter had a good rtionship with Qin Xue and the two have had pleasant coborations in the past, so of course she would speak up for Qin Xue. She said, That is true. Our Ah Xue has no need for the emphasis on pretty she is the very spokesperson of beauty itself.
Lin Yueqi couldnt stand the haughtiness of the female screenwriter and couldnt stand how she was kissing Qin Xues smelly feet either, so she poured cold water over her, Then you would be spoiling the very meaning of beauty itself, and also ruining the definition for everyone else. Yes, shes got good skin, but shes a thousand miles away from being pretty. A truly beautiful person will not be envious of the beauty of others. A truly beautiful person would not put negative pressure on them just because of envy. A truly beautiful person would not seek ways to ruin other peoples faces.
Lin Yueqi also mentioned these things on the live stream of the Entrance Exam Competition where she revealed that she was disfigured by Qin Xue. Netizens had been discussing the matter for a long time, and to this day, Lin Yueqis iron fans were still arguing with Qin Xues fans about it.
Now that she was bringing up the past again on such an asion, and so frankly too, other cant help but look at Qin Xue with probing eyes.
Qin Xue noticed that many people were looking at her at the table and she immediately frowned. Lin Yueqi, I respect you as my senior but you cant nder me like that. Thats right, I didnt reach out to catch you when you fell, but thats because I didnt react to it fast enough. Can you really me me for that?
Qin Xue looked as if she was going to cry, and her beautiful eyes looked pitiful as if she was being greatly wronged. This pitiful appearance of hers caused the hearts of the people at the table to melt.
Inparison, Lin Yueqi looked aggressive and hostile.
Sure enough, the girl who acts cute gets the candy.
Before Lin Yueqi could say anything, the chubby girl mmed the table and said in a childish voice, Auntie, you look so fake when you cry. We wont feel bad for you.
The girl scratched her chubby fingers on her cheek and recited a nursery rhyme in the Sichuan dialect. Fake crying fake crying, the cat cries rat.
Everyone else at the table, Is this girl provoking her on purpose?
Tuantuan stuck out her tongue at Lin Yueqi and made an ugly face, Fake crying is annoying, shes a cat crying to a mouse with fake pity. Shes a bad woman, hmph!
Qin Xue looked aggrieved. How could you say that about me, Tuantuan? Have you forgotten? I washed you, changed you, and we had a good time on that show together. Im so sad. I didnt think you would be like this inside.
The atmosphere at the table turned tense with Qin Xue and Lin Yueqi at odds with each other. It was only because one of the male actors tried to calm the situation that they finally stopped hating on each other.
Clearly, Lin Yueqis 2v1 side was stronger.
Lin Yueqi had a look at the others at the table. Looks of disgust and disdain stered their faces quite vaguely. She was satisfied.
When their impression of her gets lower and lower, her heroine halo will grow weaker and weaker as well.
Tuantuan tugged on Lin Yueqis sleeve. Qiqi, Tuantuan wants to go bathroom, can youe with me?
Okay. Lin Yueqi helped Tuantuan up and went to the bathroom under the watchful gaze of their fellow tablemates.
After the two left for about five minutes, Qin Xue got up and followed them as well.
After entering the restroom, Qin Xue sad on the toilet seat and turned on her Flourishing Beauty system and began adjusting her makeup and settings.
The systems beauty adjustment panel appeared on the door.
She was just about to turn it on when she heard a ding ding sound. System has less 30% energy left, please recharge as soon as possible otherwise all system functions will be lost and your form will revert back to original within a month.
Qin Xue was anxious when she heard that notification.
She had asked someone to inquire news about Lu Ting long beforeing to the hotel. But even the employees of the group had no idea where Mr. Lu would sit or when he woulde.
She came to the restroom with them on purpose just so she could see if she could find anything out from the two.
Unfortunately, Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan never mentioned Lu Ting from beginning to end.
Chapter 65 - Supporting Female Lead’s Weight Suddenly Gains 10 Jin (3)
Ch.65 Supporting Female Leads Weight Suddenly Gains 10 Jin(3)
When the dinner began, the groups vice president took the stage to give a speech. Following that was the program prepared by the stars.
It had to be said that the Qiancheng Group really was rich. The stars they invited were all big names, and among the stars that were invited, only Lin Yueqi did not go on stage to perform.
Lu Ting sent her a text message saying that he needed to take care of some business and would be a bitte.
The dinner ended at about 9 oclock and the groups executives and partners who came to participate in the dinner were invited to the second floor buffet lounge for a break.
This floor was mainly for guests to rx and socialize. There were cards, a dance floor, and a wide range of drinks.
This is the first time that Lin Yueqi is joining such an asion. It felt like she had just been upgraded from high-schooler to celebrity.
Even though the food at the dinner earlier was delicious, they were too delicate and small. Tuantuan is a big eater so those things simply werent enough to fill her stomach. And, Lin Yueqi herself didnt eat much because she was busy getting food for Tuantuan the whole time.
Right now, the mother and daughter pair were standing at the dessert area, looking at the exquisite desserts on the table, drooling.
Thus, they filled up their tes and found a quiet corner to enjoy their meal.
The delicious food satisfied them very much. Tuantuan had never eaten something as sweet as this, and she was inplete enjoyment. Mmm, Mama, Tuantuan has never eaten such yummy cakes before. Mama, be honest, did you eat a lot of delicious cake behind Tuantuans back over the years?
These desserts were very different from those sold outside. Not only were their appearances exquisite, the vor was very good as well.
It was sweet but not too much, filling their mouths with a mellow and creamy taste.
The desserts rxed and satisfied Lin Yueqi very much. She took a deep breath and said, I sweat that Ive never eaten such a delicious cake before either.
She was in a good mood to begin with and now she had cake to go with it. Thebination of sweetness stimted her happy cells, putting her in an even better mood.
Tuantuan scooped up a spoonful of cake and brought it to Lin Yueqis mouth. Then, she said, Mama, Tuantuan was super super envious of Wang Xiaomei next door when Tuantuan was living in the countryside with Nana. She can feed her Mama every day. Tuantuan feels very happy now because Tuantuan can feed Mama the yummiest cake!
Lin Yueqi was very touched at the girls words. She asked, Tuantuan, would you like to live a normal life with Qiqi together?
Tuantuan cocked her head to the side and asked, Then, will there be meat and cake?
Lin Yueqi did not respond. So, the girl changed her tune. Thats okay, Tuantuan is fine not eating meat and cake if Tuantuan gets to stay with Mama. Tuantuan is happy as long as Tuantuan gets to stay with Mama.
Lin Yueqi was stunned. Then, her eyes turned red all of a sudden. She swallowed her spit and broke out into a smile. Qiqi thinks so too. Being able to eat cake with Tuantuan every day makes me very happy. For your sake, Tuantuan, Qiqi will definitely work hard to be a normal person.
She clenched her hand into a fist and hammered her chest, promising, We share a mother and daughter bond. If you encounter any difficulties in the future then I will help you even if I have to go through hell!
Tuantuan continued stuffing cake into her mouth but she kept feeling that her mamas words were strange.
Whats a mother and daughter bond?
Under the sweet deliciousness of dessert, the warmth between mother and daughter grew even warmer.
But this warmth, however, created a special kind of positive energy.
Qin Xue was talking to the vice president of the Qiancheng Group when her tummy suddenly bulged outwards. She was wearing a sleeveless custom dress but her slender white arms suddenly grew a little thicker.
Noticing the difference, Qin Xue sucked in her stomach hard and continued to smile forcefully.
The system notified her, Attention, attention. The heroine suddenly exuded five points of positive energy. Your body weight has soared by 10 jin. If you wish to recover, please use the heroines negative as soon as possible to boost your skinnifying function.
As soon as that was over, the vice president smiled and said, Look, speak of the devil and he shalle. Our Chief Lu is here.
Qin Xue wore a small-sized dress and she suddenly gained 10 jin, so she could only do her best in sucking in her stomach and continued to smile. She didnt dare to speak and only nodded at the vice president, fearing that her dress would break if she opens her mouth to speak.
Chapter 66 - Qin Xue taking off her clothes in public to get ahead? (1)
Ch.66 Qin Xue taking off her clothes in public to get ahead?(1)
Seeing that Lu Ting was about to walk over, Qin Xue quickly pulled down her wide shoulder straps to cover her arms that had suddenly grown a little thicker, pulling it off as an off-shoulder dress instead. The wide shoulder straps were able to soften the curve of herrge arms a little.
Immediately after, she tossed her hair behind her shoulders and smoothed it down with her hands, sessfully contouring the shape of her face that had gotten slightly chubbier from weight gain.
Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, Lu Ting entered through the front entrance. The tall handsome man with long legs managed to attract a lot of attention as soon as he stepped into the hall. Everyone was discussing who he was.
Someone recognized him. Isnt this that Lin Yueqis pet boy? Whys he here?
Yeah, could it be, hes here to snatch her from Lu Ting?
He might. But Im really curious, what does that Lu Ting look like?
Looks like we got a show tonight.
Naturally, all the guests who coulde up to this level were all guests of high status, but they still enjoyed a good gossip. And naturally, the reporters who could enter this level were not such simple people either.
The reporters dressed as guests were lurking around this floor just so they could capture a picture of the legendary Lu Ting.
They heard that since Lu Guohua fell ill, the tides continued to turn within the group. Lu Ting had secretly been managing thepany by directing the vice president. Even though he never revealed himself during these days, he eliminated the spies with hispany with the vice directors hand and mercilessly kicked out the few corrupt senior executives.
Lu Ting existed in the scene, but nobody there had ever seen his true face. So, many reporters were present today just to get the first leak on Lu Tings appearance.
When the reporters lurking in the hall saw Lin Yueqis boy toy walking in, they all turned on their pinhole cameras and began taking sneak shots.
This is big news! Theres gonna be a show tonight!
Lin Yueqis former and current flings were going to meet. This is going to be an intense one!
*
Walking through the front entrance, Lu Ting took a ss of red wine from the waiters tray before walking over to the vice president.
He stopped next to him and they clinked sses with each other.
After that, the vice president did not forget to point to Qin Xue behind him and introduced, Xiao Lu, this is Qin Xue. Our nations number one beauty. Im sure youve heard of her.
Lu Ting took a nce at Qin Xue but as soon as the woman brought her ss over and was about to clink sses with him, his distracted mind pulled him elsewhere.
Qin Xue froze the instant the man went in. She would never have imagined that Lin Yueqis boy toy would actually be Lu Ting.
Very quickly, she came out from her shock and after careful thought, realized that this was normal. Lu Ting was the male lead, after all, its very normal for him to be this good-looking.
Lu Tingpletely disregarded Qin Xue and hooked his arm around the vice presidents shoulder, turning him over. In a quiet voice he was sure Qin Xue could still hear, he said, You cant trick me, Uncle Liu. You know that my daughter is with her mom at the hall and youre still introducing me to women. Are you giving me a hard time on purpose?
The vice president clicked his tongue and said his sentiments, Youre not married yet and youre already like this. Wouldnt it be hard to even invite you out for a drink once youve tied the knot?
Lu Ting responded cheerfully, Well if Im married, that would have to depend on whether my wife allows it.
The vice president jested, I remember when your grandfather was just like you when your grandmother was still alive. He didnt even dare to look at another woman on the streets! Really, not only have you inherited your grandfathers skills, you also inherited his character as a wifes pet.
Lu Tingughed. This is a fine virtue, isnt it good for me to inherit it? Uncle Liu, Ill leave you to yourself for now. Im going to look for my daughter.
Go go, go ahead, youngster.
Only after Lu Ting left did he take a good look at Qin Xue.
Chapter 67 - Qin Xue taking off her clothes in public to get ahead? (2)
Ch.67 Qin Xue taking off her clothes in public to get ahead?(2)
Qin Xue immediately seized the opportunity and went up to him. Mr. Lu, I heard you graduated from Americas G University?
Lu Ting put away the amicable face he had with the vice president and responded with a firm face, Youre quite well-informed.
Qin Xue smiled. I graduated from G Uni too. If I may ask, what major were you in, Mr. Lu?
Lu Ting, Sorry, thats private.
Qin Xue was just about to try and dispel the awkward atmosphere when Lu Ting pointed to the thick shoulder straps she pulled down to her arms and said, Miss, I saw you pulling your straps down your shoulder from the entrance. You must be feeling hot, right? If you are, you can go cool off outside.
Qin Xue had gained ten 6KG in an instant and her waist became very tight. She could only ensure that the seams on her waistline would not burst by sucking in her breath. After hearing Lu Tings words, her breath suddenly grew quick and her chest was rising and falling heavily. He was just about to try and exin herself when she heard a rip. Unable to suck in her breath in time, her clothes burst open.
The straps on her lower back burst open, but she quickly grabbed them and continued sucking her breath in.
Lu Ting admitted that Qin Xue was indeed pretty, even if she was wearing an inappropriate dress. But since walking in and seeing her pull her straps down on purpose to reveal her ample figure, he began to feel a sense of disgust with this woman.
His impression of Qin Xue had not been good because of how Lin Yueqi felt about her but seeing this dragged his impression through the mud even more.
He seemed to have understood something
It seemed like this woman was not only using her resources and power to suppress Lin Yueqi, but also relied on her beauty to crush Lin Yueqis self-confidence. All the people talking bad about Lin Yueqi were probably paid off by this woman.
Lin Yueqis disfigurement was definitely her doing, and she couldnt just shrug off revealing Tuantuans identity either.
So, the reason Lin Yueqi wouldnt ept him now had a lot to do with this woman.
So this woman with the heart of a snake wants to seduce him? Heh, what a foolish shrew.
This woman tried to pull her clothes down the moment he walked in. Theres no way he didnt understand what she was trying to do.
So what if a woman was pretty? If shes using her body to get a man, then she sees no value in herself. All she could be is a vain little flower pot.
It felt like an insult to his eyes to even take another nce at a woman like this.
Lu Ting turned around and left to find Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan instead.
But as soon as he turned around, Qin Xues dress burst open from the shing size. Even though her shoulder straps could have caught her dress and prevented it from falling down, she pulled down the straps of her perfectly fine dress and turned it into an off-shoulder dress, so the entire thing came falling down as soon as the straps on her back gave way.
Half of her cleavage was exposed, but fortunately, she managed to grab it in time or she would have beenpletely exposed.
Even with her dress pulled up, the seam at her waist was still ripped wide open and her fat was pushed out, making her an extremely embarrassing sight.
Besides her arm and face, those extra 6KG were all gathered at her waistline, and that weight was one of the reasons her haute couture dress wasnt able to handle the stress.
When her clothes suddenly burst open, she waspletely dumbfounded.
The reporters who were still secretly taking pictures of the boy toy Lu Ting were suddenly shocked by the condition of Qin Xues dress. They managed to get aplete shot from start to end of her clothes ripping open.
The surrounding people who saw Qin Xues blunder were all whispering among themselves:
When did Qin Xues figure turn out like that?
Thats one of Ds dressesThats a worldwide limited edition piece! Its not something ordinary people can borrow. You think D will cklist her since she ripped their formal dress?
Shh, beauty has nothing to do with weight. The most important thing is the face. Her body may be out of shape, but her face is still pretty.
Chapter 68 - Qin Xue taking off her clothes in public to get ahead? (3)
Ch.68 Qin Xue taking off her clothes in public to get ahead?(3)
Of course, from a reporters point of view, they felt a little sad that Qin Xues clothes didnt fall further down, nor did she do a nip slip. If she exposed herself a little more, it would definitely be big news.
The vice president standing closest to Qin Xue took his jacket off and covered Qin Xue with it.
Qin Xues assistant immediately put his wine ss down and rushed over, escorting Qin Xue all the way to the room next door.
Tang Haoran wasnt just Qin Xues assistant, he was also her agent.
He was also shocked by the fat around Qin Xues waist and he asked, Oh god, have you not been watching your body recently? How did you gain so much fat? You didnt have to force yourself, you know? We could have that covered up with another dress if you couldve told me sooner. Seriously, I dont even know if anyone took pictures! Youre definitely going to be tomorrows headlines if they did! And what do you think the inte is going to say? Qin Xue failed to manage her weight?
Qin Xue wrapped her arms tightly around the mans jacket and sat down on the sofa, spitting coldly at him, If youve got the time to nag you might as well get me a chance of clothes!
Wait here, Ill get you something suitable. Tang Haorans head was throbbing.
Its like Qin Xue hadpletely changed recently. She was extremely hard to deal with. Even though her body was fine just a few days ago, she got so much fatter today. It almost feels like a dream.
But why didnt he notice how fat Qin Xue had gotten earlier tonight? And why didnt he notice it the other day?
Tang Haoran knocked on his own head. He couldnt figure it out.
When Tang Haoran left, Qin Xue remained sitting there and carefully organized her thoughts.
Ever since Lin Yueqi returned to her hometown after being disfigured, her positive energy was continuously rising. Could the source of her positive energy be that fat little girl, Tuantuan?
When Lin Yueqi participated in the College Exam Competition, Tuantuan was there right at the bottom of the bill, and now, Lin Yueqi also sent out five points of positive energy. It was also due to Tuantuan.
Could it be, Lin Yueqi had her own golden finger? And was that fat girl Tuantuan her golden finger?
Qin Xue kneaded her temples and began figuring her next steps. The energy of the Flourishing Beauty system was growing weaker and weaker, and the level of her beautifying function was continuing to drop down. If the system receives another attack again in these few days, then her beautifying level might drop down to 2, or even 0
She thought back to what Lu Ting told her earlier and felt her full confidence snapping off by half.
She was the one who underestimated Lu Ting, and she also underestimated Lin Yueqi and that fat girl.
Qin Xue turned on the system panel and fixed up her faces, tweaking her features so that they looked more refined than earlier. The slimming function had been locked away and was temporarily unavable. The only thing she could do now was fix up her face a little and fix up the rest of it with makeup.
She was now 6KG heavier, and her body was out of shape.
She needed a radiant face more than ever in times like these so that the focus all goes to her face.
*
In a corner of the hall, Tuantuan was currentlypeting with Lin Yueqi in an eatingpetition.
Lu Ting walked over to their seats and coughed lightly. Tuantuan whose mouth was stuffed full of cream heard her father and immediately perked up. She put aside the cake in her hands and rushed over to him,nding heavily on her thigh andtching onto it.
The young girl called out, Papa!
Lu Ting picked up the sweet little girl and once his eyes were level with hers, he asked, So how is it? Does Tuantuan like the food here? These are created by all the top chefs and patissiers in the country. You wont be able to find this anywhere else.
I like it! With cream all over the girls mouth, she cupped her fathers face with her meaty hands andnded a kiss on his mouth.
The cream on the girls lips stained his, and a soft creamy vor spread out from his mouth. Sweetness filled Lu Tings heart, and he felt genuine happiness.
Chapter 69 - Qin Xue taking off her clothes in public to get ahead? (4)
Ch.69 Qin Xue taking off her clothes in public to get ahead?(4)
Lu Ting looked at Lin Yueqi who was still buried in her food and carried Tuantuan opposite to her and sat down, saying, I bumped into Qin Xue earlier.
Oh? Is she pretty? Are you moved? Have you submitted to her flourishing beauty?
Lin Yueqi raised her eyes and asked him with a mouth full of mousse and cheese.
Lu Tingughed. Lin Yueqi, are you jealous?
Jea Like hell! Lin Yueqis mouth twitched. Will it kill you to not misunderstand me for once?
Lu Ting recounted what happened earlier and said, I know, you women arepetitive, but I dont want to be used as a bargaining chip for power between the two of you. You dont need to make that bet with Qin Xue either. I told you that Ill do my best to pursue you, so naturally, you are the first in my heart.
How did you know we made a bet?
I guessed.
Lin Yueqi raised him a thumbs up. Hats off to you, buddy! Your brains ability to make stuff up is bar none. I just mentioned Qin Xue in front of you once, how did you end up adding more than forty episodes of content into that?
Youre going to be joining another crew in a few days, right? Why dont you let Tuantuan stay with me for a bit?
Lin Yueqi lifted her chin to point at Tuantuan, saying, Ask her. I dont make the decisions.
Lu Ting looked down at the little dumpling in his arms and said, Tuantuan, do you want to stay with Papa?
Tuantuan tugged at his ear and whispered, Papa, can I invite Mama to stay with us together?
Lin Yueqi immediately interjected. Im not going. I dont care if your house is made of gold or silver, my own nest suits me best.
With barely any hesitation, Lu Ting said, Then Ill move to your ce.
Lin Yueqi snorted, And you think thats gonna help you? Sorry but Ive got a heart of stone. I ampletely immune to you.
Ill pay rent.
Lin Yueqi rolled her eyes. Three hundred thousand a month. You dare pay up?
Eight hundred thousand. Lu Ting looked straight at her for a moment and said, Eight hundred thousand, no bargains.
Lin Yueqi eventually fell to her knees under the temptation of money and said, Alright Mr. Rich, please be more generous with your rent in the future too.
Lin Yueqi felt like she was going to strike it big. She didnt even need to marry Lu Ting anymore and take half his money. Soon, shell be able to soar up into the skies with just rent alone and be the richest woman in the country.
After dinner was over, Lu Tings identity was naturally revealed. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for all media reporters and the audiences lying in wait.
At around one in the morning, Lu Ting sent the mom and daughter pair home.
Tuantuan was asleep on her fathers thighs and soon, Lin Yueqi fell asleep too. The car suddenly jerked, causing her head to fall to Lu Tings thigh as well.
Tuantuan was grabbing onto Lu Tings thigh while Lin Yueqi had subconsciously grabbed hold of Tuantuans meaty hand.
Lu Ting looked down at the mother and daughter pair while an unprecedented sense of warmth poured out from his heart. This moment of peace was so wonderful that he didnt bear to destroy it. He could see that Lin Yueqi cared very much for Tuantuan. She would subconsciously take her hand even while she was asleep.
Lin Yueqi seemed to be having a nightmare as her brows were wrinkled. Tears fell from the corner of her eye. He heard her mumbling in her sleep in a soft yet hoarse voice, Tuantuan
She was silent for a moment before murmuring, Mama loves you
Lu Tings chest felt strangely sour, and he felt even guiltier than before.
If he had known about Tuantuans existence earlier, then wouldnt this woman have been able to live an easier life?

Chapter 70 - Why couldn’t she gain Lu Ting’s Favor? (1)
Ch.70 Why couldnt she gain Lu Tings Favor?(1)
Lin Yueqi could be considered a hot topic these days, but any news concerning her was bound to make explosive headlines.
As soon as the four pieces of news broke out, all theizens were immediately woken up by the sounds of their notification bells. Theizens who wereyingfy in bed wanted to mute their phones, but as soon as they saw the words Lin Yueqi, they immediately perked up and began checking the news in bed.
The reporter who posted the first trending topic also posted a video of Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting.
It was a video of Lu Ting holding Tuantuan while talking to Lin Yueqi opposite her. He had a warm smile on his face and the image of that alone felt like a spring breeze. But Lin Yueqi on the other hand wasnt really paying attention to that. She was stuffing her mouth full of cake and calories.
Theizens actually began feeling hungry when they saw her eating cake in the video.
They could tell just by the angle of the video alone that this was a candid recording. The behavior of the 3 in the video didnt seem to be fake either.
Theizens who woke upte at night all shouted that they were hungry for cake.
Iwant cake! Ahhh, how could Lin Yueqi eat so much cake in one sitting? Thats all carbs! Isnt she worried about getting fat?
Is the cake even the main point? Isnt itthat Lin Yueqis boy toy actually came to Lu Tingspanys annual dinner?!
Poster above! Please go back and check the first headline! Have a good look at the photo, have a good look at the photo! Lu Ting and the boy toy are both the same people!
Did the reporter get it wrong? How could her boy toy be Lu Ting? Isnt Lu Ting a big fatty?
Thats rightTheres another video on the topic. If you look closely, you can see Lu Ting toasting everyone at the end of the banquet and wishing everyone a happy new year. That boy toy is Lu Ting alright, no doubt about it.
This is too much tea for one year. So was it a lie when Lin Yueqi revealed that she was only with Lu Ting for his money during university? She must not have known Lu Tings identity before it was revealed, and since they were two good-looking people studying in the same university, the only possibility is that theyre both together because of their matching appearances.
Looks are important in this world, after all! Ahhh, what kind of divine campus couple is this?! I could fantasize a forty episode series out of this!
This family of three is so sweet. Tuantuan kissed her papa with her mouth covered in cream and stained his mouth with itGod, what kind of sweet young fairy is that? Can I snatch one home?
For the second trending topic, the reporter put up two photos.
The first photo is that of Lin Yueqis matching outfit with her daughter as they walked hand-in-hand on the red carpet. The second one was a photo of Qin Xue looking over to the two of them with a sinister look in her eyes.
Even though they werent wearing any high-ss couture clothes in the former, the two of them in their matching mother and child jean set was very cute, especially how casual the chubby little girl looked in her denim outfit and with a ducky backpack on her back. Everyone could feel a puff of cuteness gushing over them through their screens. There seemed to be a light touch of positive energy emanating from the mother and daughter pair. Just looking at them made one feel good.
Thetter, in her Ds haute couture dress had a look of envy in her eyes. Even though she was very pretty, she had the aura of the Evil Queen from Snow White. It was as if dark negative energy was lingering on her body, and it made those who looked at her feel disgusted and ufortable for some reason.
Theizensmented:
This mother and daughter pair are so cute. Is Lin Yueqi not signed to anypany right now? Is there really nopany willing to sign this mother and daughter pair? Tuantuan is like a lovely little angel. She has the potential to be a child star.
The look in Qin Xues eyesummmmm, I dont know why, but she feels like the Evil Queen in that fairytale story.
Chapter 71 - Why couldn’t she gain Lu Ting’s Favor? (2)
Ch.71 Why couldnt she gain Lu Tings Favor?(2)
Do you really need to hold one up and drop the other? The cameraman just grabbed a casual shot of Qin Xue and imed that she was jealous of Lin Yueqi. Lets get this straight. Our Qin Xue is an exuberant beauty, why does she need to be jealous of Lin Yueqi?
Oneizen asked in turn, Then besides her beauty, what else does your Ah Xue have over Lin Yueqi? Lin Yueqi has a cute daughter, and not only is her baby daddy rich as hell, hes also handsome as hell. Shes the real winner of life here. Your Qin Xue caused Lin Yueqi to be disfigured but isnt she still living a happy life? Isnt her life just wonderful?
Yeah, Lin Yueqi is the real winner of life.
Heh, you guys actually believe in Lin Yueqis crap?
For the third trending topic, the reporter directly uploaded the short video of Qin Xues clothes bursting.
You could see how her straps tore open and the stitches at her waist ripped, squeezing out the fat from her waist in the video. The entire process felt like some kind of dark transformation and it was enough to stun all theizens.
Did they add special effects? How did my Qin Xue get so fat?
Its special effects, right? She looked much thinner outside.
A bigshot confirmed it. This is the original footage. No matter what though, Ah Xues face is still the prettiest.
Yeah, thats right! My Ah Xues face is so beautiful that shes the prettiest even after gaining a few pounds!
Bunch of Qin Xue foot worshippers. Your girl didnt take care of her figure and ruined Ds new haute couture dress and youre still supporting her? Heh, just go check Ds official Weibo. Im done with you guys. If you cant keep your figure in check then dont insist on borrowing a haute couture dress, okay? Learn from Lin Yueqi and just wear a denim jacket and a pair of jeans instead. instead.
Ive finally seen how disgusting Qin Xues fans can be. Being fat and beautiful is her own business, but she didnt manage her weight and forced herself into Ds small dresses and even broke them. Thats disgusting.
The fourth trending topic was Ds official Weibo post.
D&FI V: This haute couture dress is called Cicadas Wings and it is a proud creation of our chief designer Qiao Te. It will be sent to an exhibition abroad next week and is not for sale. Qiao Te is very shocked and disappointed to hear of the bad news concerning Cidadas Wings. We hope Qin Xue can give us a satisfying answer and we, D&FI hereby announce that we will never lend Miss Qin Xue any of our pieces again.
Qin Xues fans didnt think that the dress was a big deal, so they all mocked Ds for being stingy.
Isnt it just one dress? Its your honor that our Ah Xue is even willing to wear them. If it broke, then theres a problem with the quality. And this is a big brand too, hah! Big brand, more like bullshit. You really think our Ah Xue cant afford to wear it?
Yeah! Our Ah Xue can just buy it.
Youre all just taking this for granted. The haute couture piece is Qiao Tes masterpiece thats going to be exhibited in Paris next month. You cant buy it even if you have the money. Whats more, they said it themselves. Its not for sale. Its not like you can solve the problem just bypensating them the money, okay? Not only does Qin Xue has to pay them back for the dress, she also has to pay them back the damages to D as a result of them not being able to exhibit the dress.
The price of thepensation is clearly stated on the borrowing contract on the event that the dress is damaged. If Qin Xue damaged the dress and caused it to be unable to be exhibited, then she has topensate thepany for all the losses incurred by it.
Then, D&FI posted another Weibo post.
D&FI v: The dress is worth 3.5 million. Including the damages incurred from ourpany not being able to exhibit the dress, ites to a total of 9.8 million.
Theizens cried, Thats daylight robbery!
Facts show that they really did have the intention to use this opportunity to their gains.
Chapter 72 - Why couldn’t she gain Lu Ting’s Favor? (3)
Ch.72 Why couldnt she gain Lu Tings Favor?(3)
Qin Xue couldnt sleep that night. After seeing Ds official blog, it felt like they were being hostile towards her. Her assistant, Tang Haoran, frowned and scolded them, THats too much. Its just a dress! They want us to pay 9.8 million for it?! Isnt this clear-cut case of robbery? Hah, now that the dress is ruined, they can say whatever they want, huh? Thats too much.
When she thought of how much she embarrassed herself tonight, Qin Xues head burst out in pain. And, with Tang Haoran bbering on at the side, her head was hurting more and more. I dont care what tricks you use, but get rid of all those pictures and videos on the.
Tang Haoran paused for a while and gulped before looking at her. Ah Xue, I dont know if I should tell you this, but
What?
Tang Haoran said, As far as I know, Li Xingspany has already called Lin Yueqi and said they wanted to sign with her, but they were rejected by Lin Yueqi. Not only did she turn him down, she even specially came over to offer herself as your supporting character in that movie as the third supporting female. And, with how shes been trying to ruin her own image on the, her moves have beenpletely unpredictableI suspect that
Are you suspecting that shes deliberately taking that role to ruin her own reputation? Qin Xue massaged her brow bone and looked up at him. But why would she do such a thing? Does she gain anything from this? Is she trying topletely break down her character and take a different route instead?
There is that possibility. But things could backfire if shepletely degrades herself, Tang Haoran said.
Qin Xue thought about Tuantuan, then at Lin Yueqis recent rise in positive energy. What her assistant says makes sense.
If she was determined to go this route, then she wouldnt be affected at all if anyone else tried to ruin her reputation.
Qin Xue finally understood and snorted. In that case, I cant let her seed. Here, why dont you go talk to the director and tell him to change Lin Yueqi out? Kick her out of the cast. She wants to be the third supporting female, but I dont want to let her do it.
Tang Haoran nodded and said, Then, you should go rest. Ill go call the director.
She rested against the sofa for a while. She waspletely exhausted, but she couldnt sleep.
She found her mental state growing worse and worse, and her emotions were getting harder and harder to control. As soon as she thought about the energy in her Flourishing Beauty system that was going to deplete, she became even more burnt out. Just thinking about Lin Yueqis springtime happiness made her feel like a me was burning inside of her.
She had the golden finger, Flourishing Beauty, so why couldnt she gain Lu Tings favor?
She was convinced that the problem lied in that fat little girl.
As Qin Xue was thinking about this, Tang Haoran who had finished his call with the director rushed back to the living room panting and told her, Ah Xue, bad news.
What? Does Ds want more than 9.8 million? Its not like I cant afford it. Moreover, Im not paying them back that easily either. Help me find a goodwyer. Were going to deal with this in court.
Qin Xue said to him after taking some sleeping pills.
Tang Haoran said, Its not that, its the crew. They suddenly said they want to change the female lead. Theyreswapping you out! They said they want you to be the second supporting female, and they want Lin Yueqi as the leading actress.
What did you say? Qin Xue thought she had misheard and frowned. She was so angry that her voice turned into a low growl, Say that one more time!
Tang Haoran exined, Thergest sponsor for the movie is the Qiancheng Group. I heard the investors are trying to push their own actresses in. With the rtionship between Lin Yueqi and the investors, Im sure theres an 80% chance that Lin Yueqi is the one behind this. Seems like Lin Yueqi isnt going that route after all. She picked the third supporting female on purpose so you couldugh at her before she swapped you out when youre feeling most pleased, and crushing your confidence. Just like how you stole her role before. Shes trying to get revenge.
Qin Xue understood as well. Lin Yueqi pulled all these tricks out of her sleeve all so she could toss her back into the bottom.
What a good y. She really is rock bottom now.
Chapter 73 - Why couldn’t she gain Lu Ting’s Favor? (4)
Ch.73 Why couldnt she gain Lu Tings Favor?(4)
Due to how angry she was, her chest rose and fell strongly and she clutched onto her wine ss harder and harder. Even her voice seemed to be squeezed out the gaps of her teeth. Just you wait, Lin Yueqi.
Tang Haoran asked, SoAh Xue, since youve been swapped out to the supporting position, are we still going to take the script?
Yeah, why not? The team must have published the cast list. What do you think theizens are gonna think if the leading actress is swapped out now? I snatcher her rolest time but I had the excuse that she was injured. But what about her? What excuse does she have? Wait until they release news of the cast change, then make a move.
Tang Haoran nodded. Yes.
*
Qin Xue who had never been involved in scandals since her debut had scandals souring her name over and over again recently, and she gained many haters on the because of this.
After a few days, the official blog of the movie, Wedding Outrage, announced that the leading actress had been changed to Lin Yueqi, and Qin Xue had been pushed down to the supporting female lead.
All of Qin Xues fans were doing their best to curse the crew in thements section:
Are you crazy? Can you just change it whenever you please? Wtffffff
Its different to have a sugar daddy after all. Seems like a certain couple has gotten back together.
So no amount of effort can fight having a backer huh? Hah.
Of course, Lin Yueqi was happy to see the role change. After all, the crew announced very early on in their official Weibo that Qin Xue was the leading actress. They had no reason to swap her out now, what would theizens think of her?
Theyre definitely going to say shes good at hugging daddys thighs, and insult her for having a strong backer, evenAnyway, she doesnt care what theyre going to spew about her in thements.
Shes a high school student, how would she have any acting skills? As a high school student who cant act and has 0 social experience, Lin Yueqi believed that her career will definitely be over after this movie.
If the leading actress is pure dog shit and worse than even the supporting lead, what would theizens say? Theyll definitely start scolding her.
Lin Yueqi had no idea why the crew would suddenly swap her out to be the leading actress, but the reason they gave her was: Qin Xue backed down on her own to the supporting actress, threatening to not act if Lin Yueqi doesnt ept the position.
Of course, as the evil supporting female, Qin Xue definitely wasnt kind enough as to just offer up her role as the leading actress. So, Qin Xue definitely dug a pit and was waiting for her.
She didnt know what kind of pit it was she dug, but since she doesnt wanna act the role, shell just do it for her.
This will give Qin Xue enough opportunities to screw with her reputation.

On one early Wednesday morning, the sun was shining, and Lu Ting had his things moved to Lin Yueqis vi.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw some movers moving things out of the house.
Big and small boxes were constantly being moved out one after the other.
Lin Yueqi stood at the steps in front of the doorway and yelled at the movers, Go easy on those! Theyre all works of art.
Tuantuan was also hopping on the steps,manding the movers, Uncle, go light on that small box too. Thats all Tuantuans babies!
Lu Ting asked someone to bring his things into the courtyard. The actions of the mother and daughter pair made his eyes turn red.
Did they actually n to move out their own things so they could make more space for him?
Lu Ting walked up the stairs and said to Lin Yueqi, It doesnt have to be this troublesome, you know? I dont take up much space.
Lin Yueqi responded, No, its no trouble at all. These are all my necessities, so its not going to be convenient for me toe back so often when I move out.
What did you say? Lu Ting frowned. Youre moving out?
Lin Yueqi nodded. Blinking her clear eyes at him, she said, Yeah. wouldnt it be too much of a loss for you to pay me 800 thousand in rent if Im not moving out?
Chapter 74 - Helping in Secret (1)
Ch.74 Helping in Secret(1)
Lin Yueqi saw Lu Ting frowning and standing still, staring at her.
The chubby girl grabbed his fingers and pulled them, shouting, Papa, Papa! Carry me! Tuantuans tired of standing.
But as if Mr. Lu did not hear her, he continued staring at Lin Yueqi.
The main lowered his eyes and a cold hum was emitted from his throat. Howconsiderate of you.
Of course! I have professional ethics. If Im gonna be yourndlord, Ill have to make sure Im a good one. Lin Yueqi beckoned to the housemaid she hired over to clean up around the courtyard. Aunt Wang,e over for a bit.
Aunt Wang immediately put down what she was holding and walked towards Lin Yueqi. She bowed to her and Lu Ting and gave them the signature housemaid smile.
Lin Yueqi took Aunt Wangs hand and introduced her to Lu Ting. Now dont call me an unreliablendlord. Naturally, if youre paying me 800,000 bucks in rent Ill have to offer you the five-star package. This is the housekeeper I hired for you. Shes really good at cooking. Also, her husband is the chef of a five-star hotel! In the future, Aunt Wang and her husband wille to clean up and take care of your food and drink. How is it? Am I thoughtful or not?
The corners of Lu Tings lips curved into a domineering president smile. Heh.
Patting his shoulder, Lin Yueqi continued, I cane stay for two days when Tuantuans staying here. Ive already discussed it with Tuantuan. Ill only apany her here for two days each month, so you dont have to worry. I wont disturb you two on your father and daughter paradise and snatch away Tuantuans love from you.
For the first time, Lu Ting understood what it felt like to be yed by Lin Yueqi.
He stared at her with a nk expression.
The mans aggressive gaze almost looked like he wanted to eat her up. Lin Yueqi felt a little puzzled and asked, So, what other requests does Mr. Lu have? Ill try my best to satisfy them.
Lu Ting had nowhere to vent the anger rising up in his stomach but he raised his arm, creating a shadow above Lin Yueqis head.
Lin Yueqi thought that this guy was going to self-destruct his male lead image and hit her, and she was so scared that her shoulders stiffened instantly, and she closed her eyes.
But very soon, she felt someonesqueezing her cheek!!!
She carefully opened her eyes and looked straight at the man who was pinching her cheek.
Lin Yueqi, Well damn, isnt this foul y? What the hell, its not like shes a chubby girl.
But the man didnt seem affected by it at all. While pinching her cheek, he said in a very domineering president tone, Heh.
Lin Yueqi pped his arm away and rubbed her cheek that was red from the pinching, mumbling, Will you take responsibility if my face gets fat?
Then, she flicked her ponytail to her back and strode into the house.
Tuantuan and Lu Ting turned to watch her leave before turning at the same time to look at each other.
The little girl lifted her head, while Lu Ting looked down.
Tuantuan asked, Papa, do you know why Mamas not willing to stay with you?
Huh?
Tuantuan exined, BecauseBecause
While speaking, the girl looked down and poked her fingertips nervously. Pouting, she said, BecauseBecause Mama says distance produces charm. Shes worried youll find out that she snores and talks in her sleep. Thats why
Lu Ting was confused. Did I ever say I was going to sleep in the same bed as her?
Tuantuan scratched her head and wondered, Are you two not going to?
Lu Ting understood.
Turns out Lin Yueqis struggling with her appearances as an idol in front of him. Shes worried that hell discover her snoring and sleep talking habits after they share the same bed.
But why doesnt he remember Lin Yueqi having those habits? Could it be a habit that only developed these recent years?
But he could understand now when he heard Tuantuan saying this.
Girls always had theirplexes, and they worried more too.
Tuantuan gave his knees a light punch with her meaty fist and said, Papa, dont tell Mama, Tuantuans going to tell you a secret. Mama said not to tell you.
Lu Ting crouched down and held his daughter, petting her head and said in a moved tone, Tuantuan is such a good girl. You have to tell Papa anytime something happens with your Mama, okay?
Then, is Papa hiding anything from me and Mama?
Lu Ting smiled and shook his head no.
But in truth, he really was hiding things from them.
Chapter 75 - Helping in Secret (2)
Ch.75 Helping in Secret(2)
He secretly made the decision to have the crew swap out the leading actress in Wedding Outrage to Lin Yueqi, pushing Qin Xue to the supporting position.
He knew that Lin Yueqi wouldnt ept his good intentions, so he asked the crew to lie and say that it was Qin Xue who gave up her position.
With this indirect method, he seeded in getting Lin Yueqi to ept the role.
Lin Yueqis abnormal self-destructive behavior was very puzzling to Lu Ting. He didnt think this was as simple as her just being angry with him.
In order to figure out the whole story, Lu Ting specially investigated Qin Xues past with Lin Yueqi.
Over the years, Qin Xue had both overtly and covertly robbed Lin Yueqi of many jobs. What Qin Xue did to Lin Yueqi was no longer a secret within the circle.
In one of the movies, Lin Yueqi went to study martial arts for a long time so she could do the role well, enduring the hardships and endured many days of acting on horseback. In the end, she fell off the horse. She could have gone back to acting after resting for a few days, but the crew swapped her out with her injuries as the excuse.
But this wasnt the worse one. After the movie was released, Lin Yueqi actually had a fight scene, but she had inexplicably be Qin Xues stunt double.
And because of this, Lin Yueqi got into an argument with the crew, offending a bunch of people.
In order to help Lin Yueqi vent her anger, Lu Ting decided to do the same to her and decided on his own to rece the super popr and beautiful Qin Xue.
*
Lin Yueqi moved to a 2LDK apartment in the city center.
One room is reserved for Xiao Ke, and the other was their mother and daughter room.
On the first day after they moved in, Lin Yueqi and Xiao Ke had prepared hotpot together. While enjoying their meal, the three of them sat together to chat.
Xiao Ke picked out a piece of cooked fresh tripe from the pot and put it into Lin Yueqis bowl. Li Xing called again. Hes insistent on signing you. Youre really not nning to go with them?
Nope. Lin Yueqi looked up at her and asked, Hows the shop I asked you to help me find?
Xiao Ke took out the information of several shop-lots from her bag and passed it to her. The first one is in Qiancheng za. Its currently under construction and will probably bepleted next year on October. Theyre still looking for investors. So far, there are no supermarkets around the za, but they have strict requirements for it. Theres no way theyll let you set up shop for a supermarket if youre not starting a chain in arge za like this. The second one is on 2nd Ring Road, its a small neighborhood of shops. Its not too small but the location is good. Price is OK too. Then theres a shop lot right outside a primary school. You can open up a small supermarket there to sell snacks. Its good business. So, which one are you interested in?
Ill take the second, medium one. Help me set up shop first, then Ill go hire some people to renovate it. After Im done filming Wedding Outrage, its probably just about time for me to retire from the circle.
Alright. Seems like youre really determined on this retirement.
Xiao Ke red at her.
Tuantuan stuffed a meatball into her mouth and asked with her head cocked to the side, Mama, if youre opening a supermarket, does that mean Tuantuan can still eat whatever I want?
Of course, Lin Yueqi said as she popped a spoonful of rice into her mouth and said in her little apron.
Tuantuan felt excited for some reason.
She suddenly felt that her mother had a better future opening a supermarket than being a star.
*
Two weekster, the main cast entered the studio for Wedding Outrage together.
The movie was a love story based around eventing themes. The female lead, Zou Raorao, is a huge eventing fan and also a rider with superb skills. The male lead, on the other hand, Du Li, is a bigshot in the world of stocks. Due to his love for eventing, he decided to sponsor the female lead and help her achieve her dreams and seed in her career.
The supporting female lead of the movie on the other hand is the only Olympic champion rider in China. She has a gentle character and her ex-husband is a mute man who is very outstanding in each aspect. In general, she was a brilliant character.
The first scene that day is a race between the female lead and supporting female lead.
Lin Yueqi and Qin Xue came out after they were done dressing up and they were taken to the stables by the staff.
Chapter 76 - Helping in Secret (3)
Ch.76 Helping in Secret(3)
Today was the first day the crew started work. Lin Yueqi asked Xiao Ke to bring Tuantuan as well. Currently, Tuantuan was sitting on a bench with Lu Ting near the outer periphery of the stables.
The father and daughter pair were both holding baked potatoes in their hands.
Lu Ting weighed the baked potato in his hand, unsure of how he should eat this. Does he peel the skin, or does he eat the whole thing?
The skin looks pretty clean and crispy from the baking. So, does he eat it as is?
Lu Tuan looked over at Tuantuan and saw the little girl peel off the sweet potato skin like a banana, revealing the soft yellow flesh inside.
Lu Ting was just about to learn how she peeled the sweet potato when the girl passed him the peeled one and said in a sweet voice, Papa, this ones for you.
He took the sweet potato from the chubby young girl and took a small bite in front of her.
The girl took the sweet potato from his hands and asked with an expectant face, Is it yummy, Papa?
Yeah. The man nodded, his throat bobbing as he spoke. Its very sweet.
His daughters sweet potato, so sweet it melted his heart.
After taking the sweet potato from him, Tuantuan did not peel off the skin and just bit down on it directly, swallowing it down with the skin. Lu Ting asked with a frown, Is it too troublesome to peel? Here, Papa will peel it for you.
Dont, Papa. Sweet potato with the skin is very crispy and delicious. Tuantuan thinks that this is the only way to eat them to preserve the most delicious taste!
Then why did you
Lu Ting looked at the peeled potato in his hands and asked.
Tuantuans eyebrows curved and she said cheerily, Because Mama says Papa is a clean freak and is very hard to take care of. So Tuantuan peeled the skin just for Papa. This is a special service just for Papa, Mama doesnt get it.
Upon hearing that, Lu Ting had aplicated look on his face. He looked at his daughter with the loving gaze of an old father for a while and finally came back to his senses after a moment. He leaned down andid a peck upon the girls forehead.
Sometimes, actions are better than words.
He was just about to speak when Tuantuan suddenly stood on the bench, jumping on top of it and pointing to the distance. Papa look! Mama is here! Papa, shes so pretty!
Lu Ting looked in Lin Yueqis direction, only to see her dressed in the fancy movie costume. All the blemishes on her face were hidden underneath the makeup.
She had good skin so the makeup looked uniform and smooth. She was dressed in English riding gear. She wore a light-colored shirt underneath with a beautiful ribbon at her cor. She had a pair of tall riding boots on her feet that made her legs look long and straight. She wore a ck riding helmet on her head that covered some of her forehead, framing around her skin and making her appear very fair.
She stood at the center of the stables with arge, long-legged, warmblood horse behind her standing 1.9 meters tall, giving the girl and even greater noble air.
Lin Yueqi grew up in the countryside and herded both cattle and sheep, tending to hogweed and working all sorts of farm jobs. There was no driveway at the vige so she often transported grains with her aunt on horseback, climbing through several hills to reach town. The experiences she had when she was young made her strong like a vigorous de of grass, with a heroic aura blooming between her brows.
She and Qin Xue stood together, but her temperament did not lose out to her. Her beauty was unique, unlike Qin Xue whose features were too delicate to feel real.
Lin Yueqi was standing side by side with Qin Xue in front of the director, listening to his pointers for the next scene.
She folded the whip in her hands in half and listened, whipping it against her thigh as if she was pondering the directors words carefully.
She also looked very beautiful when she was serious.
Right now, she was the only one in Lu Tings eyes.
Tuantuan gnawed on her sweet potato while shemented with her mouth filled with the yellow stuff. She licked her sweet lips and swung her little feet, saying, Wow, Mama is so pretty! Isnt that right, Papa? You would love Mama like that for eternity, right?
Lu Ting was stunned a moment when asked this question by his daughter.
In the beginning, he just wanted to take responsibility for Lin Yueqi, but love was a more difficult topic.
Chapter 77 - Helping in Secret (4)
Ch.77 Helping in Secret(4)
When he thought of this, he actually had no idea how to answer. His ears were blushed slightly red as he buried his head down, eating his sweet potato. He even disregarded his image and ate the skin as well, swallowing it all down. He said, Sweet potatoes are pretty nice.
Tuantuan reached out to grab his ears and twisted them 180 degrees before huffing, Youre slick, Papa! You avoided my question! Tuantuan is angry now! Tuantuan is gonna ignore Papa for two hours!
She still had sweet potato on her hands. When she took her hands back, Lu Tings ear felt sticky.
Tuantuan puffed her cheeks like a puffer fish but she was a woman of her word. Sure enough, she turned to the side and ignored him.
At the stables.
After listening to the directors rambling, the two actresses took their horses and led them a few steps forward.
The cameras were in ce, and the two got on their horses separately.
Lin Yueqi had been living in the mountains since she was a child so she was no stranger to horses. However, the warmblood horses from the crew were taller than the mountain-running horses they had back home that they used to transport goods. They looked so beautiful that Lin Yueqi couldnt keep her hands off them.
Lin Yueqi always believed horses to be spiritual creatures and she liked such animals a lot.
After the pper board came down, Lin Yueqi cracked her whip and galloped out. The hearty ride reflected vividly in her senses.
Qin Xue was unwilling tog behind and also cracked her whip.
This scene was a race between the female lead and supporting female lead. Due to the fact that horse riding is rtively dangerous, the director suggested they use stunt doubles for the faraway shots so there was no need for them to actually ride a horse.
However, Qin Xue insisted to ride and even shot a provocative nce at Lin Yueqi.
Lin Yueqiughed mockingly in her heart.
Whats with that look? What, is she looking down at her for being a country kid who doesnt know how to ride a horse? She has never actually ridden an English noble horse, but she has ridden many of the native Chinese mountain ponies, as well as mules.
Lin Yueqi epted her challenge.
Her wanting to stay ascetic with her was her own business, but she couldnt allow her to vite the dignity of a country kid, right? She was the light of the vige after all.
However, before Lin Yueqi had even advanced more than a hundred meters after cracking her whip, the mount of Qin Xue who was behind her suddenly had a shock and began running in circles.
The horse turned a few circles and nearly threw Qin Xue off her back. The staff noticed that something was wrong and they quickly went over to calm the horse.
Lin Yueqi heard a movement from behind and she reined her horse so she could turn back to look.
Qin Xue was so shocked that she clutched onto the reins and screamed as sheid down on the horses back. Lin Yueqi! What did you do to my horse?! IAh
Horses are spiritual animals. Qin Xue had strong negative energy on her and this was pressing down on the horse severely. Thats why it switched on its self-protective mechanisms and tried to drop this heavy mass of negative energy off its body.
??? Lin Yueqi pointed at her with her folded whip and said, Hey dont juste at me. Talk properly, what did I do to your horse?
Qin Xues horse was still spinning in circles and the horse lifted its hind legs to kick the two staff members who rushed over.
Lin Yueqi really felt sorry for them.
She giddied her horse and rode her steed in a slow gallop towards her before stopping a short distance away. She spun her whip in the air before swinging it towards Qin Xues horse,tching onto the reins of Qin Xues horse and clutching it in her hands.
She took Qin Xues horse for a gallop around the track and the manes of the two horses danced in the air as they ran with vigor.
When she saw Qin Xue at aplete loss at the horses back, she deliberately sped up. Since Qin Xues upper body was on the horses back, the area of impact for the vibration was huge and her guts felt like it was churning.
Once they reached the end, Lin Yueqi got off her mount.
As she was closest to Qin Xue, she extended a gentlemanly hand to Miss Qin Xue who was on the horses back.
Qin Xue was nearly on the verge of vomiting. When she stepped off the horses stirrups, she was going to take Lin Yueqis hand and get down with her help, but unexpectedly, Lin Yueqi withdrew her hand and stepped back.
Qin Xues center of gravity was unsteady and she slipped off,nding face-first on the ground.
Chapter 78 - Helping in Secret (5)
Ch.78 Helping in Secret(5)
When the staff, assistants, and the director came over, Lin Yueqi put on an innocent face. You all know I hate her too. I might have saved her but that doesnt mean Im gonna help her out.
Tang Haoran helped Qin Xue up and shouted at Lin Yueqi, Lin Yueqi, youre going overboard with your bullying! Youre clearly toying with our Ah Xue on purpose!
Yeah yeah Im the one whos deliberately targetting your beauty Ah Xue, alright? Lin Yueqi turned to look at the director and said with impatience, Director, just let me handle all the hate and scandals in the crew, alright?
The director looked at the frightened horse that had kicked over two staff members, then at Lin Yueqi, and sighed deeply.
If it wasnt for Lin Yueqi, then theres no telling what couldve happened today. It was already a very good result that Qin Xue didnt break her legs.
The director praised her, Xiao Lin, if it wasnt for you then more people might have gotten hurt today. These two horses are carefully selected by myself. I have no idea what made them so frightened. Theyre usually docile and gentle so Im really not sure what happened today.
When Qin Xue heard the director praise Lin Yueqi, her negative energy shot straight up.
The invisible darkness surrounding her body grew denser and denser. The horse that was being held back suddenly turned around a took a few step backwards. With its butt pointed right at them, it dropped its bombs.
Qin Xue had yet to sit up when the horses tail swept over her. Following that, there was a flop before a pile of horse dung dropped on top of her head.
Lin Yueqi, How unlucky has she got to be today?
Director,
Lin Yueqis body and mind had be very rxed from the ride. At the same time, her positive energy rose by 2 points.
Before Qin Xue even had the chance to scream, a system alert sounded immediately in her head.
Ding dingLess than 20% of stored energy remains, all functional levels are down to level 2. In three days, your outer appearance will go through the routine once every three month degradation, and a level 2 beautifying feature is required to fix it, which will consume 15% of the energy.
Qin Xue hadpletely turned the Flourishing Beauty system as a punishment system.
The system expresses its disappointment in her.
The Flourishing Beauty system was a sub-function under the Supporting Female Counterattack system. In other words, the Supporting Female Counterattack system is its direct boss. If it couldntplete its task of collecting negative energy from the female lead, then it would not be able to report on its mission.
Faced with Qin Xues failures over failures, the Flourishing Beauty system began seeking for people outside of its host. Even though it couldnt unbind from its host on its own, it could enchant users other than its own host.
As an emergency, it felt that it was more important to replenish itself with Lin Yueqis negative energy first. Thus, it nned to trick about twenty points of negative energy out from Lin Yueqis side.
During their lunch break, Lin Yueqi yed Chinese checkers with the chubby little girl.
The voice of the Flourishing System suddenly sounded in her ear. Nice to meet you, Female Lead, Lin Yueqi. I am the Flourishing Beauty system. I can grant you iparable beauty and an aura that grants you the love of millions.
While exining, the system disyed through her eyes its beauty and shaping functions that were no different from a beauty filter on a phone.
And these panel functions could grant one infinite beauty just be adjusting a parameter. The system felt that nobody could resist the temptation of beauty, so it nned to coax Lin Yueqi into giving it 20 points of her negative energy before it ran off with the goods and the pay.
With that thought, the system believed itself the smartest one in this entire city.
However, as it turns out that if dumb hosts exist, then dumb systems do as well.
Lin Yueqi tossed the ss chess piece and curled her lips. Sounds interesting.
The Flourishing Beauty system disyed a smiling emoji in front of her before saying in its mechanical voice, Thats right, I am very interesting. Do you wish to be beautiful? You only need to give me twenty points of negative energy and you can start with the level 1 beautifying function.
The Flourishing Beauty system chattered in her ear for about half an hour.
Then, with an expressionless face, Lin Yueqi said, Beat it.
Chapter 79 - 108KG Qin Xue (1)
Ch.79 108KG Qin Xue(1)
As for the things that happened in the dream, some aspects of it were a blur to Lin Yueqi. She knew that Qin Xue had a Flourishing Beauty system but it wasnt sure that its energy levels needed to be topped up with the female leads negative energy. She also had no idea that her positive energy would attack the Flourishing Beauty system.
The reason why she wanted to quit the entertainment industry by ruining her own reputation is that she wanted to use the power of inte public opinion to make it so it was impossible for her to make aeback once she quits from her ruined reputation and threw away its female lead halo. She also thought that the supporting female leads wouldnt revolve around her anymore once she was out of her role as the female lead.
But in truth, she was only half right.
After quitting as the female lead, the gold-fingered female supporting leads would let her go. But due to the fact that the only energy that the systems took was the female leads negative energy, the female lead halo of this world will naturally fall to someone else as soon as Lin Yueqi is no longer her, and the supporting female leads will have to switch targets.
When this dummy Flourishing Beauty system came to negotiate with her, she deliberately did not interrupt her and listened to it boast about its functions for half an hour.
To be frank, the systems functions and its beauty panels were indeed tempting.
After all, who in the world didnt want to be beautiful? Or be even more so?
After acquiring this system, all she had to do was sit there and adjust a few simple parameters and she could transform herself into the look she wanted. Big breasts, big ass, small face, and big eyesShell never have to worry about the calories in her food and shell never need to exercise to maintain her body. Shell get everything she always dreamed of.
Who wouldnt want that?
But the Flourishing Beauty system would never have expected that the current Lin Yueqi would not bepelled by it at all, and getting beautiful was nothing more than a burden for her right now. What she wanted more now was not beauty, but to have a nice,fortable, and peaceful life.
The system proudly finished introducing its functions to Lin Yueqi, thinking that she would kneel under its great power. However, Lin Yueqi suddenly came out with a beat it,pletely petrifying it as it crashed into the ground like a piece of ss.
Flourishing Beauty,
As for the chubby little girl by her side, it really did felt strange for her to speak to herself so Lin Yueqi took out her phone and pretended to be on a call.
Immediately after, she snapped, Keep dreaming. Give you 20 points of negative energy? And what if I dont have any? How am I supposed to give you that?
Flourishing Beauty, Negative energy is something that can be self-created. You just need to think about it and 20 points of negative energy can be used to exchange for beauty. Are you really not nning to trade with me? Its a better deal for you.
Lin Yueqi had no idea what the concept of these 20 points of negative energy was, but the words negative energy reminded her of a few vague images from her dreams.
She was constantly generating negative energy and her emotions had gone haywire. It caused a great impact on the people around her, especially the girl. If her positive energy was constantly topped up in her dreams, then it wouldnt have affected Tuantuan who had yet to even form her worldviews.
But theres no way shes going to create negative energy so she could exchange it for beauty. Isnt it fine to just live happily? Why would she create negative energy and add to her own problems?
Moreover, she doesnt believe that theres such a good deal in this world. The deal between them should be equal. There should be no taking advantages of whoever.
The system wasnt too stupid. At least it knew how to take advantage of a persons weakness of being greedy over small advantages to cheat them. The reason why a lot of people would get cheated by it is not that it had good skills in trickery. Instead, these are traditional tricks that manipted someone with their greed.
The Flourishing Beauty system was still waiting quietly for Lin Yueqi to change her mind, but after some silence, Lin Yueqi put her phone down and asked Tuantuan who was pondering on her moves opposite her.
Chapter 80 - 108KG Qin Xue (2)
Ch.80 108KG Qin Xue(2)
She asked, Tuantuan, if a person told you that you could trade 20 points of your negative energy for a beautiful face and a perfect body, what would you choose?
But, whats negative energy?
Justsomething that requires you to exude ugly emotions, like me throwing a tantrum at you.
Tuantuan rubbed her chin and considered it before waving one of her meaty hands and said with a frown, Papa told Tuantuan that you should never believe in a scam. Papa also said that theres no free lunch in the world and that a stranger wouldnt give me candy or meat just because I looked like a good girl. Papa also said
The little girl muttered a long string of words before asking Lin Yueqi, Do you understand, Mama?
Tuantuan crawled over the table and came over to pat the top of her head, saying, Silly Mama, Papa said that meat doesnt fall from the sky, so its definitely a big fat lie!
Lin Yueqis eyebrows quirked up as she rubbed the top of the girls head. Yeah, Tuantuan is right. Thats why I told them to beat it. If they want Qiqi to exchange negative energy for beauty, then Qiqi would rather turn ugly.
Ooooh, Mama is great! Tuantuan held her chubby face and looked at her. Tuantuan is very happy to have a good Mama!
Lin Yueqi asked her back, So if someone told you that you could trade negative energy for a lot of meat, would you agree?
Even though food was the ultimate temptation for Tuantuan, after some careful consideration, she still gritted her teeth and shook her head strongly. Nope! Tuantuan wants to be a good Tuantuan. Tuantuan doesnt wanna throw tantrums at Mama! Tuantuan wants to remain positive!
While speaking, the chubby girl flexed her arms confidently as if she was showing off her muscles like Popeye.
Lin Yueqi was worried that the Flourishing Beauty system would turn to make a deal with Tuantuan if it failed to make a deal with her, thats why she took this opportunity to educate her. Unexpectedly, this little girl was quick on her heels and thought it through quite well. This was also thanks to Lu Ting.
Flourishing Beauty almost cried with anger as it listened to the conversation of the pair. The entire system was shedding angry tears.
Is something wrong with these two? Why arent they ying with the game?
*
As a direct result of Qin Xues ident at the stables today, she was traumatized.
None of the horses at the stable were willing to be ridden by her. As soon as she got on, she would be tossed over.
In the end, the director had to let her ride a fake horse so they couldplete the shot.
For the director, he had already made great concessions in what happened with Qin Xue. But Qin Xue wouldnt budge and kept ming the matter on the crews horses.
The director was so enraged that he howled at her, The horses are the problem? Why dont you say that youre the one with the problem? Youve got all these damn problems. I told you to use a body double but you insisted on doing it yourself. You cant even control the horses and youre even ming it on them. Youre the only one with the problem, why doesnt Lin Yueqi have the same problem, huh?
The director lifted his chin and pointed it some distance away to Lin Yueqi who was cultivating her rtionship with the horse. He continued, Just look at her and back at yourself. Youd almost look like an actor if you had just half the professionalism and psychological quality of her.
Qin Xue was med by the director and even gotpared to Lin Yueqi. She was feeling extremely terrible. She swallowed her saliva and was just about to retort but she heard the director say, You should go reflect on yourself and take note of your diet. Go exercise if youre free. Just take a look at what shape youre in
The director hit the nail on the head, but it was words like these that brought back the unbearable memories of Qin Xue being ridiculed from years ago.
She really didnt want to go back to those days when she was fat and covered in pimples.
In order to find opportunities to ruin herself, Lin Yueqi spent a few days hanging around the crew. Whenever she had no scenes, she would sit at the side and critiqued Qin Xues scenes with the staff.
As a young girl who loved watching dramas andining, she hit the nail on every head.
Chapter 81 - 108KG Qin Xue (3)
Ch.81 108KG Qin Xue(3)
The assistant director asked, You seem to know a lot?
Lin Yueqi said, Even if Ive never eaten pork, Ill still have seen a pig run! So, how is it? Am I super annoying?
The assistant directorughed and said, I never worked with you before so its only now that Ive found out how cute you are.
Cute? Lin Yueqi watched the assistant director for a while and deeply felt that this guy was speaking the opposite of what he felt. He might even secretly be scolding her inside.
He didnt think she could act the first time he saw Lin Yueqi, but she was amazing. Her performance was not textbook levels of good, but she had spirit and easily gave off the feeling of a hot-blooded girl.
Especially during the horse racing scene. She was so filled with vigor on that horses back that even the bystanders felt their blood pumping.
In that afternoon, Lin Yueqi was resting under a tree when the leading man, Song Renze, came to sit next to her. He handed her a bottle of water and said, Miss, Lin, you did really well on that race scene earlier. Im really curious. How do you keep your maidenhood so well? Its been difficult for me to act the part of a teen since Ive had my kids.
She was looking down at her phone the whole time Song Renze spoke to her, and she was thunderously tapping away at the virtual keyboard.
After this period of interacting with her, Song Renze felt that Lin Yueqi was a very interesting person. She never beat around the bush and said whatever came to mind. Everyone in the crew knew that she had a bone to pick with Qin Xue and would often try to piss her off, making her so angry that she couldnt even muster aeback.
It may be due to them being in the circle for so long butpared to being with someone filled with secret plots, they would rather get along with someone like her who was open about her emotions. At the very least, they didnt have to specte about their thoughts constantly. It does get tiring.
Song Renze is forty-two years old, yet he maintained himself well and looked only around thirty or so. He had the figure of an international male model with a good face, and he treats other people well too. He also has a son around the same age as Tuantuan.
Song Renzes son was about a few months older than Tuantuan. He was a little over five. The young boy had been independent since the age of four and was a rare genius.
Lin Yueqi evenined about it in her heart beforeas expected of this world.
These genius babies who could be independent at the age of four were simply against the heavens. Perhaps its only in this world that these genius babies all seem to gather?
Song Renze had his run with fame in his younger years but it went downhill after he reached forty. Last year, he became popr after attending a reality show about parenting with his son.
The chubby little girl came to the set frequently and almost everyone in the crew liked her. Song Renze was no exception.
Song Renze would keep up a strict image when faced with his sons own serious face, but he was kind and gentle when he saw Tuantuan. Even his tone changes when he spoke to her.
Song Renze envied Lin Yueqi for having such a lovely and sensible daughter, and with her own personality, he enjoyed sharing conversations with her about parenting or acting.
Shes a good actress, but it might be because Lin Yueqi was used to talking bad about herself, but she would always call herself a shit actress. She clearly had a good rtionship with her child and she was also very sensible, but she still humbly says shes got the mind of a seventeen-year-old and has no idea how to raise kids.
All sorts of factors made Song Renze believe that Lin Yueqi was a treasure of a mother.
He sat down beside her and asked, What are you doing?
Lin Yueqi said, Oh, I heard Qin Xue called in sick recently and the directors pissed, so I came cause I wanted to treat everyone as a celebration.
Song Renze,
Lin Yueqi turned to look at him, You need something?
Song Renze nodded yes. Yeah. Its my sons birthday 3rd of next month. I wanted to invite you and Tuantuan to his birthday party. Im not sure if the two of you are willing to grant us this honor?
Chapter 82 - 108KG Qin Xue (4)
Ch.82 108KG Qin Xue(4)
Next month on the 3rd?
Thats right. Song Renze added, Ill definitely prepare Tuantuans favorite meat on that day, so please make sure you pass on my sincerity to her.
Lin Yueqi counted the days and thought it was feasible.
Their work will bepletely done at the end of this month. And as for the parts where Qin Xues absent on leave, shell make up for it herself, of course. Shes not gonnae apany her.
Tuantuan hadnt made any friends since she came to the city. It might not be a bad idea if she could fit in with the other kids.
She nodded and said, Sure. Ill go ask Tuan-jie for her opinion. If she has no problem with it, then I dont either.
As Lin Yueqis voice trailed off, she received a call from Tuantuans dad.
Lu Ting said on the phone, Ive already found a kindergarten for Tuantuan. If there are no issues, she can start school next week. Dont worry, Ill have someone drive her to and from school every day, her safety is definitely guaranteed.
Lin Yueqis heart thudded. Tuantuan isnt even five yet, isnt it too early for school? I think itll be fine even if she goes to school at six. Dont most kids start primary school at seven these days? Isnt it a bit tough for Tuantuan to enter kindergarten before shes even four?
Tuantuan is developing early and shes a smart girl. This is definitely a good time for her. Lu Ting made it sound sensible and asked, Whats wrong? Dont you want Tuantuan to be even more outstanding? Tuantuan may have be independent under your aunts tutge, but I dont want you to becent about it and ruin her. Kids areing from better families these days. My friends daughter can y Flight of the Bumblebee and shes only four years old! You should know that the only thing this world has nock of is outstanding people.
He went on a long rant, but Lin Yueqi couldnt refute him.
Thenwhat does Tuantuan think?
Lu Ting brought his phone to Tuantuans ear and let her speak for herself.
Tuantuans sweet voice came out through the receiver. Mama, Mama, Papa says I can go to school now. Does that mean Tuantuan gets to make new friends soon? Tuantuan is excited! Mama, should Tuantuan wear the yellow ducky bag or the mickey bag to school? I think they both look good. Why dont I bring both?
This young girl was innocent and naive. Her words were all about her longing for going to school and meeting new friends.
Even though Lin Yueqi had her own personal reasons for not wanting Tuantuan to go to school early, she couldnt bear to pour cold water over her if Tuantuan wanted to go.
After all, Tuan-jie is so cute. She deserved to be an even better version of herself.
In order to protect Tuan-jie so that she could safely be an outstanding person without any worries, she figured she had to work even harder to step out of the female leads role.
She hoped that she could change her fate by getting rid of the female leads halo, and at the same time, changing the fate of the second-generation female lead, Tuantuan.
It was a long road ahead of them. She had to work hard to move forward for Tuan-jies sake.
After all, she wasnt facing a person. She was facing an unknown but powerful force.
*
At a certain stic surgery clinic in Shuchuan.
Qin Xues body suffered through her trimonthly routine crash.
Her weight bounced back to 108KG and because of the long-term imbnce of her hormones, not only did her weight soar, but her skin suffered as well. Her entire face was covered in pimples.
She was currently sitting in front of the doctor and consulting him on stic surgery and e treatment.
The doctor shook his head and said, From your medical report, I can tell you that doing a full-body surgery is very risky. Your body isnt suited for it. Also, youve got very serious problems with your skin. Do you use makeup often? How did it get so bad? You should have seen a doctor early on under such conditions. Youve really dragged on the problem with your skin for far too long.
Qin Xue grabbed the doctors hand and begged him. Doctor, please, you have to help me. I have to lose weight before the 12th of this month.
Chapter 83 - 108KG Qin Xue (5)
Ch.83 108KG Qin Xue(5)
Now lets take a step back and say that I did seed in doing the surgery, your skin problems would still be there. And no matter what surgery you do, theres going to be a downtime. How would it be possible for you to be up and running before the 12th? The doctor looked at her medical reports andmented the fact that her name was actually identical to the nations goddess.
What a waste of a name.
Qin Xue seemed to have be desperate. She put on her hat and pulled up her mask before striding out of the doctors office.
She just came out when she found out that she had left her phone in the doctors office, so she went back.
As she reached the door, she heard the doctor and the nurse say, She has the same name as Qin Xue but shes so ugly, what a shame! Her face is so scary Ive got goosebumps all over. Who knows how long she hasnt washed her face for the pimples to get so bad
The nurse shivered as she remembered Qin Xues face. Ive got e-prone skin too but if I take proper care of it, I wont turn out like her at leastShe clearly doesnt wash her face much and likes using makeup too. She ruined her own face. If you have e, then you have to treat it. If you keep covering it up with makeup youre just going to hurt your own skin. People these days keep trying to cover up their ws to avoid criticism, but theyre only hurting themselves.
Their conversation caused Qin Xue to frown deeply.
She remembered those years.
When she was in high school, she was cleaning up in ss with the boy she had a crush on, but when she went to take out the garbage, the boy and another boy mocked her and called her a damn fatty, and called her ugly.
She had low self-esteem and shy so she never dared to confess her feelings to the person she likes. But Lin Yueqi had everything so easy.
If she were the same as Lin Yueqi and had a naturally beautiful face, then she could also express herself just like Lin Yueqi. She wouldnt have to be like now, hurting other people.
When she entered the elevator, the elevator that was heading down suddenly stopped.
The Flourishing Beautys system panels suddenly appeared before her eyes and she heard the mechanical voice.
Do you wish to spend 15% of your energy to restore your appearance? If you choose yes, the system will enter aplete lockdown state. If no more negative energy recharge is received from Lin Yueqi, you will not be able to maintain your appearance for more than three months, and you will return to your original appearance next month. If you choose no, you will never be able to regain your flourishing beauty.
Qin Xue wanted to say yes, but the system interrupted her.
You have a third choice.
A glimmer of hope emerged in Qin Xues eyes.
Flourishing Beauty, Every counter-attacking supporting female lead will have two ultimate treasure chests. You do too. But the treasure chests are too damaging to the host so I do not rmend you use them until a critical moment.
Qin Xue quickly asked, What is it?! Im willing to take any price!
As soon as she was done speaking, the elevator lights went out.
When the lights returned again, a box appeared out of thin air, right in front of her.
The appearance of the treasure chest was really nice and delicate, and it was encrusted with dazzling gems. Qin Xue knelt down and opened the treasure chest, only to see a mobile phone inside.
She was just about to ask what the phone was for when the systems mechanical voice sounded.
This is a universal phone you can use to impersonate anyone and send a text message to someone else. Also, this phone has a streaming ount with tens of millions of fans and is mainly an online podcast to share gossip about the entertainment industry. You can stream on this ount and defeat Lin Yueqi with public opinion. Remember, you can only send text messages once a week, and you cant show your face on the streams. Take note when you speak, they are all real fans with their own thoughts. You have to be cautious.
Chapter 84 - 108KG Qin Xue (6)
Ch.84 108KG Qin Xue(6)
It felt like Qin Xue had been blessed. She asked, Then, whats in the second treasure chest?
Heh, The system had somehow learnt a snarky tone from who knows where. After that, it said, If you really use this treasure chest, then that will be the day when youpletely fall. I dont hope that day arrives. Now, perform well and use your smart mind. Do not underestimate the enemy.
After taking the phone out of the chest, the chest disappeared, and the elevator resumed its duties.
She suffered a low point in her life today but she found an olive branch. The heavens still favored her and gave her chance after chance to turn her life around again.
With this phone, she wouldnt have to worry about not getting the female leads negative energy to replenish her stores after the energy runs out anymore. With this phone, she now has the courage to take on this desperate gamble to restore her face with the system.

As Lin Yueqi had no scenes to film tonight, she was apanying Tuantuan at home and helping her pick out a new backpack and stationery from Taobao. As Papa, Lu Ting naturally took on the job of sharpening his daughters pencils.
Lu Tings sharpening skills were clearly not up to the task, so Lin Yueqi took the knife and pencil from him with a look of disdain and showed him how to sharpen a pencil. This is how you sharpen a pencil. Look, isnt it a pity for you to sharpen Tuantuans new pencils like this?
Finding the perfect opportunity, Tuantuan handed a supermarket ad to Lu Ting and pointed to an automatic pencil sharpener in the shape of a Transformer and said, Papa, look, dont you think this sharpener looks cool? Why dont we get it and save Papas big lovely hands?
Lu Tingughed. Youre quite the talker. Alright, Papa will buy it for you.
Tuantuan pointed to a marker pen in the shape of a magical girl wand and said, And this one too! I think its as pretty as Mama, lets buy it to show off Mamas beauty, okay?
Lin Yueqi snarked at Lu Ting as she sharpened the pencil, See? Thats the price you pay for not buying an automatic sharpener.
Lu Ting rubbed the back of Tuantuans head and looked apologetically at Lin Yueqi. Im sorry, I dont have the experience of being a father. Ill definitely do well next time.
While the two spoke, Xiao Kes call came. She quickly howled through the receiver, Turn on Jinjiang Live right now!
Whats wrong? Did Tuantuans school shut down?
Right now, the only thing important for Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting was to satisfy Tuantuans dreams of going to school.
Xiao Ke, No! Theres a podcast with over a million fans on Jinjiang and they usually talk about entertainment gossip. Its also super urate. After he mentioned what happened to one actor, the rumors came out true after some time. Theizens are now convinced hes real! And his style has always been to expose real gossip. But just now, he said that you used your daughter to threaten Lu Ting so he would get you the position of leading actress.
She was on speaker mode so that she could continue sharpening the pencils. This news was a delight to her, so she didnt think anything was wrong with it.
Xiao Ke was so pissed that she couldugh at how carefree she was. She said, The problem is, its not just about you! He actually said that not only are you using your daughter to Lu Ting, you even sent your daughter to some pedophile CEO!
Lu Ting,
With a crack, the pencil in Lin Yueqis hand broke in half.
You could easily tell whose doing this was without even thinking.
So its that idiot system and Qin Xue?
Fortunately, Tuantuan had gone into the kitchen to wash fruits while she picked up the call and didnt hear.
Lin Yueqi thought that no matter how overboard Qin Xue was, she would never nder children.
But she was too simple-minded.
Lu Ting was also angry at the news and patted her shoulder tofort her. Ill investigate this matter. The person who created this rumor will pay the price.
Lin Yueqi clenched her fists and frowned with a rare heavy expression on her face. Do you still need to investigate? Its clearly Qin Xue. Who else would do such an hical thing but her?
She was righteously indignant as she rolled up her sleeves.
Tuantuan had finished washing her apple and came out from the kitchen. Holding the red apple in her small fleshy hands, she passed it to Lin Yueqis mouth. Mama, you eat first.
Lin Yueqi looked at her innocent daughter and grew more and more exasperated.
What, is she thinking of her as an easy target just because she didnt show her might? Come on then, whos afraid of you?
Chapter 85.1 - A Vicious Mother (1)
Ch.85 A Vicious Mother(1)
This is the first time Lin Yueqi had gotten angry since returning to when she was seventeen-years-old.
Rumors, rumors, all these damn rumors. She could ept all of them but does she have no conscience lying about such a young child? Did she feed it to the dogs or something?
Lu Ting carried Tuantuan back to her room so she could go y with her new drawing book. Tuantuan had inherited her mothers hobbies and liked to doodle, so after receiving her drawing book and markers, she began coloring in the book very carefully over the table.
After going back to the living room, Lu Ting sat down beside Lin Yueqi. She had turned on Jinjiang Live and was watching the rey of the Gossip has no Boundaries podcast.
This streamer has tens of millions of fans. Its not hard to imagine how fierce the traffic is with a streamer with such arge tform.
Its no exaggeration to say that with the traffic and influence of this streamer, people would even believe him if he said Lin Yueqi was a transgender.
In the rey, the broadcaster was wearing a mans tracksuit and wore a rabbit mask. He had used a voice changer so what she heard was a mans deep voice.
Gossip has no Boundaries said, The news Im going to break to everyone today is about a popr actress thats been fluctuating between being hated and loved. News broke out not long ago that she had an illegitimate daughter. Before her sponsor boyfriend took her and her daughter back, not only did she get disfigured, but her career was almost ruined. And this Actress L who has no background int he industry is considered a clean te. She may present herself as a clean white lotus in front of everyone, but everyone in the circle knows who much of a witch she is.
Aizen posted ament asking, How much?
Gossip has no Boundaries said, Last year, Song Renze got famous again because of his son, so L tried to do the same and sent her daughter to participate in Celeb Baby Goes Traveling, but the celeb babies on the show needed to be assessed. With Ls bad reputation, she was immediately turned down by the crew. But unexpectedly, just so she could show off her daughter in front of the nation, she actually sent her daughter off to a bigshot toHmmmmYou know how it is. This bigshot is a pedophile, so this woman really would do anything to be famous.
But she did get lucky. Unexpectedly, she had a run with a rich second generation too.
He didnt spill any names, but with such clear keywords, everyone instantly thought of someone.
Theizens were shocked by this news. They really never thought that Lin Yueqi could do such a thing. To actually go as far as to use her daughter
But not all people in thements believed it. Some issued the following question:
This is brainless nonsense. Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan have such a good rtionship. How could she do that as a mother? Did the streamer get bribed and went crazy?
My God, I really didnt think people would believe such baseless lies. Is Chinas audience really so gullible?
Bunch of retards. Would you believe it if he told you Lin Yueqi was a transgender? I cant believe someone is bringing her child into this. Wheres your conscience? Did you feed it to the dogs? Scum of the earth.
But most of them believed the news.
F*ck, report it! Report Lin Yueqi!
Chapter 86 - A Vicious Mother (2)
Ch.86 A Vicious Mother(2)
Is this considered child abuse? How in the world could there be such a vicious mother? How? Tuantuan is so cute. I really cant understand how she could be so heartless. Sacrificing her daughter like thatHow big of a psychological impact could it have on this girl?
Call the cops! Lin Yueqi is disgusting. Just pass her to the cops!
She has tons of scandals to begin with and now shell never be able to save her reputation. Trash.
Already reported.
Already reported+1
Hah, we got a good show ahead of us. I hope Lu Ting sees this stream and quickly brings the child to get checked. Its time to see Lin Yueqis true face!
When the stream ended, the streamer even released the texts that Lin Yueqi sent to the bigshot.
Lin Yueqis phone number was revealed in the screenshots, which also contained a transcript of the chat.
Lin Yueqi, Baby, did you think about what I talked to you aboutst time?
Censored Bigshot, Oh, Im still thinking about it.
Lin Yueqi, Is that soWell, heres how it is. I have a super cute daughter and I heard you like those? Then Ill let her stay with you for two days. How does that sound?
Censored Bigshot, That girl you wanted to send on the show? Then you know how I like to y, right?
Lin Yueqi, Thats alright. As long as I can get her and Qin Xue to go on the show together and let the audience know her, thats all OK.
The screenshots were also posted in thements section and theizens immediately investigated to see if they were photoshopped. Some people had already begun investigating the number.
And the results proved that the number was indeed Lin Yueqis, and the screenshot was real. So, all the contents were true.
After reading the screenshots, Lin Yueqi was also confused and said, Thats impossible. I would never have sent that.
Even though she had the memories of when she was seventeen, she was sure she wasnt that kind of person. She wouldnt have done such a thing to her daughter even if she wasnt in the right frame of mind.
The plots of her dream were growing vague and she always forgot the details when she woke up and getting only the gist of it. But from what she learned, her future self would never be one to sell her daughter off for fame.
Never. She believed in her boundaries.
As for how the texts came about, she really couldnt figure it out.
In her extreme anger and rage, she naturally generated 5 points of negative energy.
And this negative energy was quickly absorbed by Qin Xues system. When Qin Xue received the system prompt, all the gloom of her past days were gone.
She turned off herputer and took out her mirror, cing it in front of her.
The her in the mirror had parted red lips and she slid her finger over the surface of the mirror, revealing a wry smile. Lin Yueqi, lets see how youre going to get out of this one! Rumors can kill, and I, want to kill you!
When her system functions are all full again, shell find a way to get rid of Lin Yueqipletely.
Lin Yueqi groaned on the sofa. She was so angry that it was unbearable, and she puffed up her cheeks like a child.
Lu Ting patted her shoulder and murmured, I know you love Tuantuan, and thats why youre angry. Im angry too, but anger cant be our priority. Did you forget what you said to Tuantuan?
Chapter 87 - A Vicious Mother (3)
Ch.87 A Vicious Mother(3)
Its important to stay positive. You cant let negative energy dictate our emotions. We have to know how to regte ourselves and make ourselvesfortable. This is aplicated matter though, but we can always work it out together, right?
When he mentioned negative energy, something seemed to have popped up in Lin Yueqis mind.
She seemed to have dreamt about somethingAbout positive and negative energy. No matter how much she thought about it, it was all a blur. She rubbed her temples and soon, she thought back to what that dumb system told her that day.
She seemed to have sensed something and reached out to hook her arms around Lu Tings shoulder, frowning and asking him, Old Lu, I got a question for you.
Yeah? He had his shoulder grabbed all of a sudden by Lin Yueqi in a brotherly pose, but the tips of his ears had inexplicably gone red and his heart rate increased.
Lu Ting nced at her long eyshes and swallowed his saliva as he tried hard to keep hisposure.
Lin Yueqi pinched his chin and said, If the tactician of your enemies suddenly try to strike a deal with you on something you really want, would you ept the deal? And the premise is that the item must be worth more than everything else you have.
No. As he said this, Lu Ting controlled the beats of his heart and his throat bobbed slightly. Theres no tactician dumb enough for that. If he went to the trouble ofing to make a deal with me, then theres even more reason for me to refuse. That only proves that what I have may not be of much value to myself, but it may be an indispensable existence to them.
With that, Lin Yueqi understood. She snapped her fingers. Thats right! I finally understand why that idiotic system would want to trade me for me negative energy. This proves that my negative energy could be useful to it. Qin Xue hates me so much but never thought about murdering me. She would always give me a way out at the very end. When I was at rock bottom, no crew or advertisingpany would take me, but Qin Xues College Exam Competition did. Dont you think thats strange?
Yeah. Lu Ting clearly didnt understand her very well. He asked, Thats asystem? And what does it have to do with negative energy?
Lin Yueqi knew that Lu Ting was a non-believer so she waved her hands and said, I cant exin it. Theyre all code names. Just think about it in the same sense as what I asked you earlier. I was just thinking about the reason why Qin Xue never fully crippled me. She wants me to stay in the entertainment industry in the most miserable way so she can grind and absorb my negative energy. If my guesses are correct, shes doing this so she can obtain my negative energy for that system of hers.
Lu Ting just about understood the gist of it. He said, So this negative energy is very important to her.
Lin Yueqi snapped her fingers. Thats right! And since its important to her, all the more Im not supposed to give her any. I have to make myself happy, right?
Yeah. Lu Ting had no idea what she meant by the system but he knew Lin Yueqi wanted to adjust her mood. He immediately grabbed the girls wrist and said, Come, follow me outside.
ForFor what?
Lin Yueqi looked at the mans naughty hand and said, Men and women have to be distanced, you know?
Chapter 88 - A Vicious Mother (4)
Ch.88 A Vicious Mother(4)
Lu Ting released her and took a pair of running shoes from her shoe closet and brought them over to her. The man crouched down in front of the sofa and held her heel in the palm of his hand so he could tuck her feet into the shoes with his other hand.
While putting the shoes on her, Lu Ting said, Exercising produces dopamine, and dopamine makes you happy and regtes your mood. If that doesnt make you happy, Ill find other ways when were back. Inte rumors are terrible, but we cant run at them blindly. First, we have to ovee our anger, then we can resolve the conflict peacefully.
Watching as the man tied her shoces into a pretty ribbon, Lin Yueqis maiden heart actually stirred a bit.
Wow, arent this guys shoce ribbons too pretty?
Lin Yueqi finally understood that Lu Ting had a rather monk-like character. He was always very philosophical.
He seemed to have said simr things to her in her dream, but unfortunately, she didnt know how to ept them in her dreams, and only med him for not understanding her, and even suspecting him of having a thing for Qin Xue.
The scene of Lu Ting taking the initiative to help her put on her shoes caused the scenes of Lu Tingforting her in her dreams and her unreasonable fights with him to be clearer and clearer. Even the details werepletely filled in. Actually, from the standpoint of a bystander, she was indeed a bit unreasonable in her dreams.
And this shows how important a good mindset was.
Lu Ting was tying theces of her second shoe when she suddenly asked, UhOld Lu?
Yeah?
Can I hit her?
Huh? Lu Ting felt like he had misheard her sudden words. This tone almost sounded like a high school student asking her parents meekly if it was okay for her to hit someone else.
It was a bit embarrassing to say, but Lin Yueqi had always grown up with her tail between her legs. She never dared to provoke the school bullies or the like! She had also been bullied many times and wanted to punch the other person, but she was always afraid of having her parents called and embarrassing her aunt.
So, being bullied since she was a child till now, she was always the type to swallow down her broken teeth.
But this time, she cant endure it any longer.
Her arms were already getting impatient and her fists were ready for a beating. She really wanted to give Qin Xue a good p across the face.
Lu Tings hands suddenly stopped. He looked at her before lowering his head again to tie her shoces. If you want to hit someone, you have to find a way to make it so the responsibility doesnt fall to your hands.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yueqi rubbed the top of Lu Tings head excitedly, messing it up his neat hair.
Lu Ting,
Lin Yueqi continued to rub, Ahhh, Old Lu, itd be great if you were my dad! Then I wouldve had the guts to beat back all those bullies in school! Old Lu, we really met each other toote!
Lu Ting looked at her with a nk expression, But he still could not say the words in his heart.
They werepletely unaware that Tuantuan hade out of her room a few minutes earlier and went to get herself a drink from the kitchen.
Then, the chubby little girl stood behind the coffee table with a ss of water, drinking while staring expressionlessly at her parents.
Chapter 89 - A Vicious Mother (5)
Ch.89 A Vicious Mother(5)
Tuantuan stared at her parents for about a few minutes before she interrupted them. UhPapa? Mama? Can I interrupt your lovely time?
Both of them turned to look at her in unison.
Tuantuan raised a meaty hand and said, Can Tuantuane exercise with you too?
So the family of three changed and set out the door.
After reaching the track downstairs, Lu Ting gave hismand, and Tuantuan dashed out with a serious-looking jump.
Lu Ting was also ready to go forward, but he was pulled back by Lin Yueqi, and the two looked at each other.
Lin Yueqi asked, Dont you suspect that Ive done it at all?
It was winter, so a gush of white came out whenever they breathed and spoke. Lin Yueqis cor was not well-covered, so Lu Ting reached out to pull her zipper up to the top while muttering, You love her more than I do. Compared to me, she loves you more too. From the moment I heard that ridiculous thing, it all just felt absurd.
In one brief sentence, he expressed his position.
Lu Ting reached over to pat Lin Yueqis shoulder. Dont dwell on it too much. Im Tuantuans parent too, so you shouldnt be the only one to take the pressure of this rumor. Come, lets run.
Lin Yueqi was originally worried that Lu Ting wouldnt believe her and quietly took Tuantuan to get checked. But if they really did bring her in for a check, what should they say to her? What sort of excuse would they need to bring up? If they use the excuse that they wanted to expel the rumors, it would definitely hurt the child.
His words relieved herpletely.
There was no doubt about her rtionship with Tuantuan, and she wouldnt allow anyone or anything to hurt Tuan-jies innocence.
If anyone dared to raise their knives against Tuantuan, then sorry, but shell also raise her knife and fight back.
Lin Yueqi stepped forward with a determined face and ran ahead of Lu Ting.
He stayed behind, and the lumination of the streetlights stretched out his shadow.
He looked at the chubby girl in front of him and her mother with her ponytail beating against the wind, and his heart swelled with something hed never felt before.
At the same time, Lin Yueqi was watching how the girl jumped and hopped, and asionally took a big stride. Her heart surged with a simr feeling to Lu Tings. Like a warm stream slowly trickling into her heart, calming itpletely.
Lu Ting suddenly elerated past her. Tuantuan grabbed his calf and hopped along with the man. Papa, pick me up, pick me up!
Lu Ting crouched down so the girl could ride on his shoulders.
The chubby girl grabbed his ears to steady her body while the man held onto her chubby hands to prevent her from falling.
The father and daughter pair frolicked on the track, but Lin Yueqs eyes suddenly felt hot despite the fact that she wasnt really thinking of anything, and her tears fell.
Tuantuan was the first to notice that her Mama was crying and quickly asked her Papa to turn back.
Lu Ting brought his daughter back to her mother and looked anxious. Whats wrong? Do you still feel bad?
Lin Yueqi wiped her tears and said with a hic, I dont feel bad, Im just envious.
Huh?
Im so jealous that Tuantuan has a dad like this. I didnt have a dadLu Ting, it would be so nice if you were my dad.
All the tension was gone from Lu Tings face. He coaxed her gently, I dont mind. Ill be your dad any day.
His words, however, startled Lin Yueqi. She always felt that something was wrong. She finally understood the connotations of these wordsisnt this corrupting a high school student?
Lin Yueqi,
Is this supposed to be kinky? Or is Lu Ting just too pure?
Sheughed until her face was red and hammered Lu Tings chest. Youre not allowed to say this stuff in front of the kids!
Lu Ting, ??
*
A certain someone hasnt been pleased for too long when the system gave her a warning. The female lead emits 5 points of positive energy. The system remains in lockdown, lockdown.
Qin Xue, Is this a false notification?
She began to suspect whether this system is actually a spy from Lin Yueqi.
Chapter 90 - Mouthwatering Abs (1)
Ch.90 Mouthwatering Abs(1)
If it wasnt Lin Yueqis spy, then why would it keep losing energy? She doesnt believe that Lin Yueqi doesnt have any negative energy. Her daughter had already been ndered like that, how could she still be positive? Is this a joke?
And since she was tied to the system, the system could hear her thoughts.
A coldugh emerged at her ears. Youre the stupid one, how is it my fault?
Qin Xue clenched her fists. What are you going to do if she keeps exuding positive energy?
Flourishing Beauty, I wont do anything, but what will you do? The more positive energy she puts out, the faster your body will change back to its original shape. Im afraid you dont even have three months. Why did I even go with such a stupid host like you
It silentlymented that he really couldnt find a girl with an inferiorityplex like her. Its seriously going to ruin its reputation. It could already imagine how the other systems would mock him when he lost, and how the boss Supporting Female Counterattack system would punish it
The more it thought about it, the more Flourishing Beauty began to shiver as it made QIn Xue an ultimatum.
Didnt you notice? Her negative energy went up by five points after the rumor about Tuantuan came out. That proves that youre going in the right direction. The girl really is Lin Yueqis soft spot. I dont know whats causing her positive energy to pick up, but I want you to figure this out yourself. Know thyself, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.
Simple for it to say, but why doesnt it demonstrate how to know your enemy and fight back?
*
After running three kilometers, Lin Yueqis legs were almost mush. Shetched onto Lu Tings body and panted. Old Lu, youre seriously in good shape. Youre jogging three kilometers with a fat girl on your shoulders and you can still breathe. Thats seriously amazing.
Feeling better?
Lin Yueqi rubbed her chesT and thought about it. Bit more to go, maybe. Old Lu, if youre gonna be a good man, then you bettermit. Why dont youe home with me so we can do a few test papers?
Test papers?
Fifteen minutester, they returned home.
They had originally agreed to live under the same roof twice a month, and Lin Yueqi said she would go to the vi. But since Lin Yueqi had to return to the set tomorrow and since the city center is closer, the three of them chose to reunite here. Xiao Ke, on the other hand, packed her luggage and went to a nearby hotel.
As usual, Lin Yueqi took out a set of test papers. Sure enough, it felt way more aplishing doing these than running, and that aplishment equals happiness.
Tuantuan was sitting on the floor, sharpening her Mamas pencils over the coffee table. She pressed the lead end of the pencil against the table while she scraped at the tip with a small knife. After sharpening the pencils, she put them next to Lin Yueqis hand.
Tuantuan held her chin with her small meaty hands and said, Mama, this is how grandma used to sharpen Tuantuans pencils. When Tuantuan saw the pencils, Tuantuan suddenly thought of Grandma. When you finish filming, lets go see Grandma, okay?
Of course. Lin Yueqi reached out to pinch the tip of the little girls nose and whispered.
Lu Ting came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
Since there were no bathrobes of slippers for him here, he could only cover himself with Lin Yueqis bath towel and wipe his head with one of Tuantuans smaller ones.
The mans upper body was bare and his muscles were clear to see. Droplets of water gathered around his clear-cut corbones, and beneath that was a solid chest with eight pack abs, no more no less
When Tuantuan saw her Papas abs, she immediately shoved all ten fingers into her mouth in shock.
Lin Yueqi was also stunned.
Chapter 91 - Mouthwatering Abs (2)
Ch.91 Mouthwatering Abs(2)
Wait a minuteThis guys body looks just average when hes wearing clothes, and even looks quite slim, so how is he this ripped when hes naked? So firm? No wonder he can run three kilometers while carrying Tuantuan.
Lin Yueqi turned her head and covered her eyes with her hand that was still holding the pencil. Oh my god, my eyes. Tuans daddy, can you please watch yourself, there aredies in this house.
Lu Ting didnt think anything was wrong as he walked over. He knelt down just like Tuantuan next to the coffee table and said, You said there was a question you couldnt solve when I just went into the bathroom. Which one?
Lin Yueqi covered one eye and kept the other half-covered, covertly sneaking nces at Lu Tings muscles and perfect profile.
Tsk tsk, Tuantuans dads visuals simply areexplosive. Its pretty shocking.
Then, she nced back at her test papers with her half-covered eye and pointed to a math problem, saying, ThThis is the one.
Lu Ting swept a nce at it and smiled. This ones simple.
Then, he reached over and grabbed her pencil before he began writing out the solution on her scrap paper. He took apart the question and taught it to her step by step so she could understand.
Like that. Did you get it?
Lin Yueqi nced at him and blushed before being unable to control herself from looking down a little. Then, she took the pencil from him and said, Got it, got it.
She thought that if her maths teacher back then could be half as handsome as Lu Ting, then she wouldve been able to get a perfect score.
The entire time she was working on the paper, Lin Yueqi didnt dare to look up for fear of seeing Lu Tings body and drawing him out as the protagonist of a yaoi story.
This face, this body, hes aplete top!
A beautiful body always gives her the desire to draw yaoi. _(:١)_
The more she thought about it, the more excited Lin Yueqi felt.
Tuantuan burrowed into her fathers arms and curled her arms around his neck and resting her chin on his shoulder. She yawned. Papa, Tuantuan is sleepy. Tuantuan wants to sleep with Papa and Mama, okay?
No!
Sure.
Their answers came out almost at the same time and they looked at each other, feeling awkward.
Lin Yueqi leaned in close to Tuantuans ear and said, NNo? You know how it is, Tuantuan. Mama has a very bad habit. IfIf your Papa finds out, what will I do if he hates me? Right?
The chubby girl tugged on Lin Yueqis ear, not allowing her to leave. But Papa said its okay. Papa wont say no to any kind of Mama. So Mama, juste sleep with us? Not like Papa and I will tell the world about you farting in your sleep.
Lin Yueqi blushed and clenched her fists. she lowered her voice. Lin Tuantuan!
She looked awkwardly at Lu Ting and said quietly, Haha, kids just love talking nonsense
The chubby girl waved her finger and shook her head. Mama, Tuantuan wont be called Lin Tuantuan in the future anymore. Papa changed my name, my name is Lu Junyi now.
Why are you so worried if its just nonsense, hm? Lu Ting looked down at her from above and carried Tuantuan up higher, allowing the yawning girl to lie on his shoulder.
The girl was like a nket,ying softly over her Papas shoulders. She was clearly exhausted. She was still holding tightly onto Lin Yueqis hair with her small little hand, but her eyes were closed and she muttered, Papa, sleepy. Mama, sleep together.
Lin Yueqi was helpless. So, she followed the father and daughter pair into the bedroom.
Lu Ting originally put Tuantuan at the very edge, but Lin Yueqi moved her to the center so they formed a line at the 3/8 point. She knelt down on the bed and pointed to Tuantuan before saying to Lu Ting who was only covered with a towel. No going past this line, Old Lu, or Ill scream!
Chapter 92 - Mouthwatering Abs (3)
Ch.92 Mouthwatering Abs(3)
Lu Ting looked at the chubby line on the bed and deeply felt that his family status was not very high.
Lin Yueqi took up most of the space on this 1.8-meter bed, leaving only a small part to him. He could only sleep on his side that night.
As soon as heid down and turned off the lights, he heard two light breathing sounds.
One heavy, one lighter.
Tuantuan must have eaten too much sweet potato during the afternoon. After a fart, the entire room was filled with the smell.
The sleepy Lin Yueqi patted the girls butt and muttered, Watch yourself, girl
Her voice was hazy. Clearly, she was fast asleep.
The little girl was also very deep asleep at this point. She subconsciously put her chubby little arms and legs on top of Lu Ting. After a grunt, she began to whimper. MamaMama
With thest ounce of her strength, Lin Yueqi gave the girl another p on her butt. You back-stabbing But before she could finish, it was reced with the even sounds of her breathing.
Lu Tingughed at the behavior of the two and through the weak light, he saw that the mother and daughters nkets were properly pulled up, so he pulled them up for them.
The Lu family was all thin and he had grown up with his grandfather. He was a strict guy and he never experienced what family warmth was. He never experienced sleeping together as a family. At this moment, he felt his heart swell with happiness as if it was being filled up with the cuteness of these two.
This is a really good feeling.
In the meantime, Tuantuan had frowned in her dreams and called out to her Papa.
Suddenly, Lin Yueqis body twitched as well, and she grasped Lu Tings hand.
Lu Ting was shocked.
Is she giving him a signal after the child is asleep? After all, they had a past experience, and it was that past experience that gave birth to Tuantuan.
Having his hand grabbed by Lin Yueqi, Lu Ting was no longer sleepy in the slightest. He was waiting for her to make the next signal.
After about half an hour, she let go and murmured, Papa
Lu Ting,
So it was just a dream.
Lin Yueqi called him Papa once, a few years ago. When they were at the hotel that night, she called him Papa for the entire night.
When he thought of this, Lu Tings ears had gone inexplicably red again.
Lu Ting couldnt sleep anymore so he grabbed his small pillow and his thin nket, going to the living room to sleep on the floor instead.
He was a normal, healthy man, so he couldnt stand to be provoked like that.
*
Three dayster, rumors about Tuantuan had been spread everywhere on the inte. Lin Yueqi even cooperated with the relevant authorities for this matter to be investigated, but those people actually wanted Tuantuan to be examined, which she refused.
Topics about Tuantuan were constantlying up on the but they were also constantly taken down by Lu Tings men. Finally, anyone who dared to post anything regarding Tuantuan was bound to be reported and banned, causing the to go into an uproar.
Hah, Lin Yueqi, if youre capable of banning us then are you capable enough toe out and exin yourself?
Trash Lin Yueqi! Come out and speak! The child must be examined! Youre not doing it because youre guilty!
Tuantuans mother is disgusting. Does her dad not care? Hes the grandson of the richest man, is he really too busy to care about his own daughter? Boycott the Qiancheng Groups properties from now one! Whoever buys them will never have descendants for the rest of their lives!
If you wanted to dispel the rumors, then you had to find a way to prove that the text messages werent sent by Lin Yueqi.
So, Lu Ting sent someone to the telpany to check, but he found that Lin Yueqis number did send those messages. If it wasnt for the fact that hes been spending a lot of time with hertely and trusts her, he might even have suspected her of doing this.
Chapter 93 - Mouthwatering Abs (4)
Ch.93 Mouthwatering Abs(4)
In order to find out who the streamer called Gossip has no Boundaries is, Lu Ting directly bought out the entire tform and went into the user identity system as the administrator to find out who that person was.
Strangely enough, though the system did contain this persons information, the identity information was very strange.
Name: Flourishing Beauty
Age: 16
Theres actually someone called Flourishing Beauty?
Lin Yueqi got this information from Lu Ting and briefly exined it to him. This Flourishing Beauty is a very powerful ck technology, which means its not even registered with apany. It can be hacked into your system and use a fake identity. If you want to try dealing with it, it may not be possible with your power.
Lu Ting was an atheist, and to him, aliens may possibly exist, but he didnt believe that there really were aliens manipting the Earth in this world.
Lin Yueqi knew he wouldnt believe it so she changed her words. Ill deal with this myself. You got a good brain, so help me think of a way to increase my positive energy. Like, make it high enough to soar? I think even though doing sports or test questions makes me happy, its still just a drop in the bucket.
Qin Xue, Lu Ting mentioned her lightly, You can do whatever you want.
Lin Yueqi looked in his eyes and understood in an instant.
She thought about it. What else could make her happier than beating up Qin Xue?
*
That afternoon, during the race scene, Lin Yueqi and Qin Xue werepeting on the sand at the dressage event.
After filming this scene, they were both dripping with hot sweat. After the scene, they both hit the showers.
The bathrooms in the stables were all public bathrooms separated by partitions that were covered by shower curtains.
Qin Xue came out of the shower, changed her clothes, and left with her bag to the washbasins shared by the mens anddies toilets.
There was a mirror here. Qin Xue was looking in the mirror and admiring her own appearance. Soon, a fat girl appeared in the mirror.
Tuantuan stood behind her andtched onto her with her two arms, looking at her with her belly exposed.
She looked like a really good girl.
Qin Xue turned around to look at her and the girl took the initiative to smile at her. Big sister, youre so pretty.
Qin Xue was still frozen in ce, She had no idea what this girl was up to.
She neither nodded nor shook her head, but the little girl suddenly rushed towards her andtched onto her leg. Qin Xue moved her leg a little and with a yelp, the girl frowned and stepped back while holding her stomach until she reached the corridor before her legs went soft,ying on the floorpletely.
Tuantuan rolled around the ground while covering her stomach, crying, It hurts it hurts it hurts
The cleaningdy who was not far away saw Tuantuan rolling around the ground and quickly came over to pick her up. Thedy witnessed where the girl came out from and when she saw Qin Xue inside, she instantly understood what happened.
If it wasnt for Qin Xues kick, how could there be shoe prints on a childs belly? How would she cover her stomach and cry out in pain?
It was only then that Qin Xue noticed that there was a shoe print on Qin Xues white jacket.
But she didnt even touch her! Hows that possible?!
Just as Qin Xue was wondering, Lin Yueqi came out in her slippers while wiping her hair. She saw Tuantuan rolling on the ground in pain and immediately went over to pick her up and asked with a tense face, Tuantuan! What happened?! Dont scare me, it hurts Mama to see you like this!
Chapter 94 - Mouthwatering Abs (5)
Ch.94 Mouthwatering Abs(5)
While speaking, she clutched at her chest and squeezed hard for tears.
But shes a natural-born actor after all. When she turned to look at Qin Xue, her eyes were alreadypletely red. She screamed and pounced at Qin Xue, pushing the woman to the ground before throwing a p across her face. How dare you hit my child! How dare you!
She straddled Qin Xues body and pped Qin Xues right cheek with her left hand before going the other side with her right hand.
She made sure aim each p just right so everyone can hear the crisp ps.
Qin Xues face was marked with two red p marks and her hair was disheveled. She pushed Lin Yueqi away and ran to the corridor in a messed up state. She was just about to get in the elevator when Lin Yueqi grabbed her hair and kicked her down with a flying kick.
She gave here 18 earth-shattering bitch ps, each hitting right at the mark without going too overboard.
How dare you hit my child! How dare you nder her! I dare you, steal my phone again! Send out those text messages! Tuan-jie, this woman nearly robbed you of all the meat in your future. Come, let off some steam! Mamas got your back!
Tuantuan had been restricted from using the intetely but she knew that many people were talking badly about her and her Mama. She was too young to understand what those things could do to her, so Lin Yueqi told her that if they failed to rify the situation, then she would never be able to eat her meat in peace ever again.
That made Tuantuan very anxious. What if she was bullied for no reason? Her Papa taught her, If you have the ability, then think hard. Set up a plot and let the pieces fall into ce. If you dont have the ability, lie in wait until your chancees, then let them fall.
Qin Xue was beaten and bruised. She said angrily, Lin Yueqi! Im calling the police!
But as soon as her voice trailed off, the prompt in her ears made her tremble.
Beep beepLin Yueqi emitted 42 points of positive energy. The system has sustained severe damage. Defenses are now active
Systems energy stores are badly damaged, system reboot in progress
Sessful reboot, self-repair in progress
Self-repair failed, you are advised to leave the scene within ten seconds. After ten seconds your appearance will revert to its original form
How could Qin Xue dare dy? She threw her bag forcefully against the girl. Lin Yueqis attention was distracted for a moment, and by the time she grabbed the bag, Qin Xue got up and fled.
However, as soon as she reached the elevator and was about to get in, the cleaningdy threw her broom over, hitting Qin Xue right on the head. Beating her senseless, she fell down again.
The moment she fell in the elevator, the doors closed and her clothes burst open. Just like a balloon, her body went back up to 108KG.
The pimples on her face came back as well, and each one seemed as if they had filled with pus from not being taken care of for a very long time. A truly horrifying sight.
The author has something to say: Update~ Your supporting female lead bento is ready. If a system suddenly offers you flourishing beauty and unlimited money, but you had to damage someone elses mental and physical health, would you say yes? I think human nature isplicated. It just depends on how you control it. A lot of things happened in my family recently and its quite sad. Every day, I can only use code words to numb myself. Then I thought about it more carefully and realized that people may really be tempted to break through their limits when they are vulnerable. Everyone has a little devil in their hearts. Thank god I held back myself each time, and looking back now, its because I held back that I got better and better in life! I have to work hard. If youre poor, you end up a beggar at most. Youll make it one day as long as youre still alive.
Chapter 95 - First Update (1)
Ch.95 First Update(1)
Even though the cleaningdy hit Qin Xue, she still let her escape.
Lin Yueqi crawled up from the ground while Tuantuan helped her pat off the dirt from her body. Dont worry Mama. She wont be able to run. Papa is downstairs.
This plot was set up by the entire family.
In order to ensure Tuantuans safety, there were no bodyguards around the corners in the corridor, and the righteous aunt was also one of their people who was responsible for protecting Tuantuans safety and testifying to the police.
Thedy came over and picked up the cell phone that Qin Xue had left behind, handing it to Lin Yueqi, Miss, this is Qin Xues cell phone. See if theres anything useful inside.
This was a push-button phone with an old design like the Nokia from a few decades ago, but it felt nicer to hold than any old Nokia phone with a front-facing camera, And the overall look and feel didnt look like it came from Earth.
When she pressed the OK key, the screen lit up with modern-looking font.
Wee to supporting female leads ultimate treasure chest 1.
After that notification passed, two more lines appeared for her choosing.
Enter phone simtion.
Enter broadcast.
Lin Yueqi pressed up and chose the phone simtion function and immediately understood what was going on. After opening it, this was clearly the text between her and a certain bigshot.
Thedy also came over and immediately understood what happened. So the screenshot thats making waves online came from this? But how could it be the same as your phone number?
Must be some extremelyplicated program, said Lin Yueqi as she turned on the broadcast.
In an instant, the camera turned on. Both she and thedys faces were broadcasted on the screen.
Gossip has no Boundaries suddenly turned on his stream, and the faces of Lin Yueqi and an olddy was actually reflected on the stream.
theizens were all perplexed and thements popped up.
Whats going on? Lin Yueqi is actually Gossip has no Boundaries? Whos this olddy?
Thats not rightLook at how confused they are? How could they be Gossip has no Boundaries? He must be broadcasting Lin Yueqis front camera.
Before Lin Yueqi turned on thements, she was confused to see her face on the screen. After looking around, she still couldnt find how to turn off the camera.
Then, she found a button on the screen. After opening it, thements popped up.
Lin Yueqi looked at thements and finally realized she had entered Qin Xues Gossip has no Boundaries stream.
Gossip-kun, Gossip-kun! Do you have more big news for us at this house?
Is there more material on Lin Yueqi again? Why did you put a selfie video of Lin Yueqi on air? LOLOLOLOL
Gossip, I wanna know who the bigshot who vited Tuantuan is. Come on, spill it! Come save that poor child.
+1, spill it! Save the poor child!
Lin Yueqi stared at thements and frowned. She said, This isnt a video. Im Lin Yueqi.
Theizens,
After a few seconds of silence in the broadcast, someone said, So Lin Yueqiabducted Gossip-kun? And stole his phone?
Youre going overboard, Lin Yueqi! You think your background is big stuff, huh? The entire nation is watching! Were calling the cops now!
How terrible. But that makes sense, she doesnt even care about her own daughter, so why would she care aboutmitting a crime? Shell just go all out and bully.
Lin Yueqi was silent for a long time and turned off all thements. With a serious face, she said, First, I didnt kidnap anyone, nor am I stupid to that extent. Second, this phone fell out of Qin Xues pocket, and she, who has history with me, spat out drama about me. Dont you think theres something off about that? I never said anything when Im being ndered since I thought people were smarter than that, but it seems like everyone is brainless. Youre all monsters for suspecting me for abusing my daughter. You condemn me on the basis of one picture? Hah.
After opening the recording function of the broadcaster, the operation of the broadcaster on the phone can all be seen by theizens.
Chapter 96 - First Update (2)
Ch.96 First Update(2)
The first thing she did was open the phone simtor app on the phone and show everyone the source of that photo. The so-called bigshot is actually just Qin Xues own number, and she used the simtion app and her own phone to go back and forth, creating that screenshot.
Even though Lin Yueqi put the evidence out in front of the crowd ofizens, some people are only willing to believe what they want to and wouldnt listen to any exnations.
Immediately, someone jumped out to say, Wow, what a coincidence. You snatched her phone? This must be yours, right? Isnt it easy for you to ask your husband to steal a number for you? Now youve taken someone elses number to clear your reputation. You think were too dumb to understand such a simple routine? Who are you trying to fool? Hahaha!
Yeah, whore you trying to fool?
When Lin Yueqi saw that these people wouldnt believe her, she wasnt going to try and defend herself by force. This entire time, she was on her own phone making a call to Lu Ting. After finding out that the police had arrived, he asked him to bring the police up.
Qin Xue definitely wouldnt be able to stand being beaten up by her and shell definitely call the cops too.
So, they called the police in advance, reason being: Qin Xue abused a little girl.
When the police came to investigate, all she needed to do was pass the phone to the police and give them a simple exnation before pointing to the surveince in the corridor. There are cameras here, just check those and youll know if Qin Xue dropped this.
The policeman put the phone into an evidence bag and asked some other questions.
She was very surprised to learn that Qin Xue hadnt been downstairs. Hows that possible? But we all saw her go down the elevator! This is the second floor, she can only go to the first floor. How could a living breathing person disappear into thin air?
After the captain stopped their recounting, he realized the situation didnt seem too good. With a frown, he said, Here, why dont we go check the surveince together? Once the investigation is clear, the police will make an announcement to everyone.
Lin Yueqi nodded. Alright.
Lu Ting picked up his daughter and rubbed his forehead against the tip of the girls nose, asking, How was it? Were you scared?
The girl shook her head and leaned closer to her Papas ear. Not scared.
After a slight nod, he held her, and along with the police and Lin Yueqi, they went to the surveince room.
On the way there, the policeman found that the live broadcast of the phone was still on and immediately turned it off.
The stream was plunged into darkness and someizens inevitably began to worry about Qin Xue.
The police are already there, theres no need for Lin Yueqi to lie in front of the police. So now theres an 80% possibility that Qin Xue is Gossip has no Boundaries. Butwhere did she go?
Im starting to worry. If she really is Gossip has no Boundaries and exposed so many things about Lin Yueqi online, would she let her go? They say she disappeared into thin air, but this is likely a secret operation and someones pulling the strings. Theres an 80% chance that Qin Xues disappearance is caused by man. Lin Yueqi has that ability, doesnt she?
Lu Ting also appeared on the stream. He seems to have a good rtionship with Lin Yueqi? My god, he can even put up with his daughter being abused like that by Lin Yueqi?
Lets all stop the guessing and wait for the polices investigation results.
*
When they all arrived at the surveince room, they pulled out the video of the conflict they just saw.
First, the little girl was kicked into the corridor by Qin Xue, followed by her covering her stomach and rolling back and forth with a face twisted in pain. A cleaningdy bravely appears and points usations at Qin Xue.
And then, Lin Yueqi appeared. After seeing her child being hit, she immediately flew into a rage and stood up for her daughter and entered into a tussle with Qin Xue.
They call it a tussle, but she was brutally crushing Qin Xue the entire time.
Chapter 97 - First Update (3)
Ch.97 First Update(3)
After that, Qin Xue tried to throw her bag at the child, but fortunately, Lin Yueqi reacted fast and blocked the hit. But right at this time, Qin Xue escaped into the elevator.
Immediately afterwards, the screen switched to inside the elevator.
The scene inside was just like special effects.
In the elevator, Qin Xue actually turned from the nations goddess into a 108KG fatty. Her pants were ripped open and her clothes were also torn. Fortunately, she was wearing a loose-fitting down jacket that was wrapped tightly around her fat body.
The surveince footage wasnt very HD but you could see the bumps on her face, and it was scary just like special effects.
The 108KG her got up from the ground and zipped up her down jacket, but the flesh on her body was nearly bursting through. She buried her jaw into the cor of the jacket, pretending nothing happened. Then, she brushed past Lu Ting and the police.
After watching the footage, the officer who came on the mission was startled. He rewound the video and watched it carefully again to make sure that he didnt see it wrong.
The police officer was shocked. ThisWhat is going on?
When Tuantuan saw the footage on the monitor, she grabbed her fathers ear and shouted, Papa, Papa! Look! Qin Xue is actually a monster!
A total of six people in the room were all in shock.
The policemen instantly understood the gravity of the matter and immediately called HQ for backup.
Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi, as the people on the scene, were also called back to the police department to get their statements.
Around 11:00 P.M.m the family of three was still sitting on a bench in the hallway, waiting for news from the police when a female and male police officer said to them, Mr. Lu, Miss Lin, please head into the conference room. Ill take care of the child.
They both looked at each other and handed the sleeping Tuantuan over to the policewoman.
After entering the room, Two captains came over to shake hands with them separately.
The top captain said to hem with a serious face. Mr. Lu, Miss Lin. We suspect that Miss Qin has a strange disease. This is a first of its kind in this world, and we are still unsure if its contagious. Im not at liberty to say more, but I hope you can keep this secret so as not to cause public panic. We of the police have brought Miss Qin under control. As for her spreading false rumors, please do not fret. The police will rify this matter soon.
They didnt care how Qin Xue was doing, they only cared if the police were willing to issue an announcement for their case.
From Lu Tings point of view, he felt that restraining Qin Xue was the right choice. She turned 108KG in an instant. It waspletely against all human knowledge and science. If this strange disease really was contagious, it would be a big disaster for mankind.
Humans always feared the unknown.
And from Lin Yueqis point of view, they knew that no matter how they examined Qin Xue, they wouldnt be able to detect any problems, because what Qin Xue had wasnt a strange disease at all. The flourishing beauty offered to her by the system was what changed her.
The technicians on the police side were still studying the phone software, and though they hadnte up with what kind of code was used, they probably figured out that they were both the same type of hacking virus.
And humans have yet to reach the level of technology to crack this virus.
*
At around 1:00 a.m., A Citys police department made the following announcement:
At 3PM today, Ms. Qin Xue was brought under control for child abuse. The police conducted a thorough investigation and found that recent inte rumors of Lin Yueqi selling out her daughter for fame and Tuantuan being vited by a pervert are just rumors. Everything was orchestrated by Miss Qin and we have found the live broadcast ount and the software to simte the phone number in Miss Qins phone. Please do not believe the rumors.
[Video]
The announcement was apanied by a video. The police stamped out the news and all the keyboard warriors were pped across the face with a loud papapa.
But some still gritted their teeth and continued fighting with the police.
Wow, look at her background. She even bribed the police? The police are corrupt.
Soon, the blogger who posted thisment thinking that he could spread rumors about the police was arrested.
Chapter 98 - First Update (4)
Ch.98 First Update(4)
Li Xingspany took care of all Lin Yueqis PR and marketing, so when the police released the news, Li Xing and his team immediately spread the polices announcement to dispel the rumors.
As the saying goes, it takes a mouth to spread rumors, but much more to dispel one. In order to cover all aspects of the rumor, Li Xing spent almost spent upwards of several tens of millions just on PR and marketing.
Of course, this was all reimbursed by Lu Ting, and he didnt even feel bad about it.
Tuantuans matter finally came to a satisfactory ending, and Lin Yueqi was in a good mood that night. So, she allowed Lu Ting into her room again.
Only this time, Lu Ting didnt dare to sleep on the bed again and prepared to sleep on the floor.
Tuantuan and Lin Yueqi both slept on the bed while he slept on the floor.
Lin Yueqi had another dream that night.
And this dream was much clearer than those in the past.
A strange woman slowly walked towards the deep sea in her dreams. Just as the water was about to reach her neck, she turned around and returned to the shore.
The womans face looked dejected when she stepped into the ocean, but when she returned to the beach, hope seemed to rekindle her eyes as if she heard something.
From this womans thoughts, Lin Yueqi also managed to hear, Hello, I am the Revenge Script system. I can help you get revenge on the inhabitants of this world. As the female lead Lin Yueqi has less and less fans, and until she retires from the entertainment industry, the level of your Revenge Script will be at its highest level. At that time, you will be able to kill anyone at the tip of your pen.
As if Lin Yueqis mind was disturbed by something, she was forcefully kicked out of that image.
And her body too, suddenly began to twitch.
Lu Ting and Tuantuan were both woken up by her movements.
He turned on the lights immediately, jumped onto the bed, and leaned over to pat the girls face. Lin Yueqi, wake up.
Her body continued to convulse and her face was white as a sheet. Her entire body was covered in a cold sweat.
Tuantuan held her Mamas hand and was terrified. Crying, she said, Wake up, Mama. Mama! Wake up! Dont scare Tuantuan! Tuantuan is scared!
The girl held her hand with her own meaty hands and rubbed it, only then did Lin Yueqis convulsions improve.
Lu Ting didnt dare dy and quickly called for an ambnce.
Lin Yueqi was in a white world.
A voice told her, Lin Yueqi, your daughter is yours, as is your husband, and so is this entire world. It is your responsibility to save them. Take on the responsibilities of a female lead. You are all living beings so you should not be trampled on by any outside force.
Lin Yueqi opened her mouth, wanting to ask who he was, but that man said, The Supporting Female Counterattack system took away all the powerful gold finger systems in the universe. Only you can reverse this. The lives of your husband and your daughter are in your own hands.
As soon as he said that, Lin Yueqi woke abruptly from her dreams.
She held her chest and felt as if she was going to die. That sense of dread terrified her.
And who was that woman in the dream? What is the Revenge Script system?
Ding ding
Lin Yueqi heard the system notification of Flourishing Beauty. Hello, new host. I am your cute little Flourishing Beauty. I think we had a misunderstanding before, so lets get along well from today onwards~
Lin Yueqi,
Flourishing Beauty, Host, your new opponent is very powerful, you must raise your fame in the entertainment industry. As your career gets better and better, youll gain a corresponding amount of positive career energy to beat your opponent.
Lin Yueqis head hurt and she wanted to tell it to beat it.
Before she could, Flourishing Beauty added, Oh, I forgot to say. Before Qin Xue gave me up, she used her lifetime of luck as coteral to open thest treasure chest. From today on, you will gain 3KG of weight every day until you reach 96KG. Do you want to work with me? I can make you lose weight overnight!
Lin Yueqi: Go fuck yourself.
Chapter 99 - Missing Mother (1)
Ch.99 Missing Mother(1)
Your daydream
Lin Yueqi spat at the [Beauty Filter] system in her heart, ncing at it in disdain. If it werent for it, Qin Xue wouldnt be like this. She mightve been able to escape her predicament and make herself even more outstanding.
Lin Yueqi was brought to the bathroom and forced to undergo a full body inspection.
The results showed that besides leaning on the skinny side and slightly malnutritioned, the rest was fine.
The family of three slept in the ward.
The next day, when little bun and Lu Ting woke up, Lin Yueqi was gone and left a note, Little bun, Old Lu, Xiao Ke, Im going to be gone for a while. At most for a year. Wait for me to return! When Ie back, you guys have to treat me out!
Lin Yueqi had finished filming her scenes in but Qin Xue still owed a few more scenes. However, she had vanished, so the director was forced to change the actressst minute. All of the scenes containing the second female lead had to be filmed again.
Originally, the movie that was expected to finish filming in half a monthsted another month more.
The director wanted to contact Lin Yueqi and Song Renze back to the cast in order to make up for the second female leads scenes. However, they were unable to get in touch with Lin Yueqi no matter what.
Lin Yueqis sudden disappearance startled the entire city.
Little bun hugged her fathers neck and cried, wanting her mommy back.
Besides searching for Lin Yueqi and working, Lu Ting also had to raise the little bun.
Little bun cried every day, so he could only bring her to thepany and hold meetings there.
It was strange. Her daughter wouldnt make any noises while he was in a meeting. She only hugged his neck and cried, leaving a trail of snot on his clothes when there was no one.
On the third day that Lin Yueqi disappeared, the media made a big deal out of when she used to make fun of herself in the cast.
Lin Yueqi said that she only picked up her daughter just so she could get married with Lu Ting. She had no feelings for him. Could her sudden disappearance be due to the fact she recognized her faults and wanted to mend ways?
The online users had all sorts of guesses as to Lin Yueqis disappearance.
Could it be that she was tired of the inte keyboard warriors and that she was upset by the rumors?
Its all Qin Xues fault. Qin Xue is terrible! If she didnt start any rumors, we wouldnt have gone to hurt and nder Lin Yueqi.
Lin Yueqi appeared at B Citys city center hospital during the fourth afternoon that she disappeared.
In Room 306, the 180 lbs Qin Xue sat by the window, staring out in a daze.
The moment she heard someone walk in, she immediately wore her mask.
What [Beauty Filter]? Its just all in your imagination. Youre just trying to deceive yourself. Lin Yueqi stared at her rear view and said.
Hearing her voice, Qin Xue trembled and slowly stood up.
She turned around and looked at Lin Yueqi, her eyes bloodshot.
She tried to hold in her tears and in a trembling tone, Lin Yueqi, you think that you won? No, you didnt. Starting today, youll gain five pounds every day until you hit 160 pounds. Youll be a fatty, someone I used to be. When you be as fat as me, youll experience the same feelings as me. Dont think that I dont know you and the [Beauty Filter] system are already bound. It didnt tell you how to use it?
Then let me tell you. Qin Xue sneered. If you want to use it, you must exchange it for peoples negative feelings. If you dont have a good figure, theres no way you can return to the entertainment circle. If you cant reveal your brilliance in the entertainment circle, that means that theres no way you can win the [revenge script].
Hehare you mad? Very furious? Comining about the injustice? Do you feel what I feel now? The you right now is the me in the past. Youll be the same person as me.
No, I wont. Lin Yueqi smiled and revealed two of her eye teeth. Im different from you. Im a cutie.
In the next moment, she said in a serious tone as if swearing an oath, You chose to let go of your bottom line and decided to hurt others to make yourself beautiful. But I wont. We are not the same people. I will work hard to protect my people and do my best to live. I will let you see just how wrong you were in the past.
Qin Xue looked at her and revealed a mocking smile.
Chapter 100 - Missing Mother (2)
Ch.100 Missing Mother(2)
Lin Yueqi continued saying, Oh, right. I didnte by myself. Theres someone else.
She turned around and a man walked in; he was Qin Xues assistant, Tang Haoran.
Tang Haoran came to pick Qin Xue back. However, when he saw Qin Xues ruined face and bloated body, he took a step back in fright.
He swallowed his saliva and looked at Lin Yueqi. Thisthis is Qin Xue? Imimpossible. Theres no way our A-Xue is that fat and ugly.
In Qin Xues memory, Tang Haoran was the closest to her.
As her manager and assistant, he tolerated her attitude and willfulness.
The man who used to tell him that hed still be her manager no matter what happened to her was now looking at her like she was a ghost.
No, no, no. This ugly woman is definitely not our A-Xue.
Qin Xues heart ached at his words. She tightened her hands and shouted, Tang Haoran!
This voice
Tang Haoran was stunned and stared at her fox-like eyes carefully. He swallowed his saliva and said in shock, Youyou are really A-Xue! What happened to you?
Tang Haoran wiped the sweat off his forehead and turned around to walk out of the ward.
Half an hourter, he walked back from the doctors office, still wearing an incredulous expression.
How did the first beauty of China be like this?
The doctors temporarily dont know the reason for Qin Xues strange sickness, so he could only find an excuse to tell Tang Haoran half-heartedly that because she had undergone stic surgery, there were some seque that started to reveal itself. Its amazing that she was still alive, but its impossible to return to her normal appearance.
Tang Haoran had processed the words and knew that it was impossible for her to return to the entertainment circle. He also knew that her acting career had ended.
Next, she would face all sorts of outrageous demands ofpensation for viting contracts. She would have to face that for the rest of her life.
Scenes of Qin Xue beating and kicking him had floated in his mind.
Her moody behaviors and her sinister actions were incredibly akin to that of an ugly viin. Before gaining Qin Xues approval, he frantically took pictures of her. The first beauty of China has now be the ugliest person in China. Will this be the most popr news of this year?
At this time, Tang Haoran just wanted to get some money from her. He was in the entertainment circle, so he knew how much this news was worth.
During the entire process, Qin Xue was infuriated. No matter how she covered her face with her hands, it was to no avail.
She reached over to grab Tang Haorans phone, but thetter pushed her, causing her to m into the window. With red eyes, she furiously nced at Lin Yueqi and eximed, Lin Yueqi, you will die a horrible death!
Really? In my dream, I died a horrible death because of you guys. Right now, Lin Yueqi was expressionless as she said, When you prepared to hurt someone, you shouldve thought of the consequences. When you started a rumor involving an innocent child, you shouldve known that there was going to be karma.
After saying this, Lin Yueqi wore her mask and turned around, leaving the ward.
She felt extremely cool for herself the moment she turned around and left.
Yet in the other peoples eyes, her actions were clumsy. QAQ
Lin Yueqi was speechless.
When she came out of the hospital, she hailed a taxi.
In the car, she was thinking about the [revenge script] system. This system wasnt in her original dream, so it seemed like it was just added.
While she was thinking, the [Beauty Filter] system in her mind told her, Master, that is true. Because little bun isnt of age, the second female lead hasnt appeared yet. As a result, there was an extra golden finger female side lead. Master, youve gained too much. If you keep dying this, even the down-filled garment cant hide your figurequickly work with me! As long as you use anyones negative feelings to feed me, you can return to your normal figure.
Lin Yueqi eximed, Is that so? I can feed you with someones negative feelings?
[Beauty Filter] system: Thats right, master. Dont worry that itd cause a negative impact. You can take different peoples negative energy. After all, there are so many people in this world. If you take some from each person, nothing will happen.
Lin Yueqi asked, Will you die if you dont get any negative energy?
[Beauty Filter] system: Even systems need energy. When the system has no energy, it will be locked in. If it cant be activated within three months, the human will die as well.
After it finished exining, it regretted its decision, but it couldnt lie to the host either.
Chapter 101 - Missing Mother (3)
Ch.101 Missing Mother(3)
Lin Yueqi said oh and dragged her words. Moments after, she revealed two eye teeth and smiled cutely. Then Ill starve you to death.
Although Qin Xue was despicable, in the end, the system was the one who hurt her.
She was this worlds heroine, but a normal person at the same time. If she didnt serve as a model and use this scheming external force to go against her enemies, how was she any different from Qin Xue? What right does she have to me Qin Xue?
She was this worlds heroine, so she naturally needed to work hard and change the views of the world, letting it return to peace.
Lin Yueqi gained five pounds every day and the limit was 160 pounds. In order to not let little bun and Lu Ting think of her as a monster, she chose to leave temporarily.
At most, a year. Shed definitely return by then. Her fans werent zombie fans either. Theres no way her fans would all leave her by then. She vanished now but it made her appear mysterious. Maybe it would even attract her fans and make them think of her from time to time.
She just wanted to create a feeling as though Im not here, but there are rumors about me.
It was strange. She used to want to leave the entertainment circle badly, but now, she wanted to stay badly.
It was strange. Who let the [revenge script] systems condition to level to the max be for her to leave the entertainment circle? She remembered the words said to her in the dream. Little bun and Lu Tings lives were in her hands.
Even for sister bun, she needed to work hard. She needed to remember something. She couldnt value her losses and gains too much like she did in her dream.
A weekter, there were ounts exposing Qin Xues pictures.
#Goddess Qin Xue has undergone stic surgery and implications rose. Her acting career was ruined as a result#
The blogger uploaded two pictures. One was before Qin Xue entered the hospital and the other was after.
In the former, she was beautiful and gorgeous. In thetter, she was swollen and bloated, her face ruined and festered.
Qin Xues fans went insane. They didnt believe that their goddess had undergone stic surgery, but the evidence was there. They were forced to believe in it.
Online users:
She deserved it! Its her fault for doing all those bad things! She wants to ruin Lin Yueqis face, but now karma bit her!
Whos this? I dont admit this to be my goddess, Qin Xue! The blogger must be inciting things.
Whos this? +1. I dont recognize her.
What goddess of the country? Please dont be representing all of us. We would never like such an ugly person.
So uglyDidnt Lin Yueqi disappear recently too? Could it be that she also performed stic surgery and implications rose?
After Qin Xue got into a mishap, news of her had been exposed.
#Qin Xues fake education background. She never graduated from college#
#Qin Xue was the biggest swindler in the entertainment circle. Whos the one driving her to act this way?#
Shes the most beautiful goddess of the country? My eyes are going blind.
Headlines like this constantly appeared on Weibo.
Qin Xue summoned her courage to turn her phone on. She had a bit of hope, wanting to see if there were fans that still liked her.
After all, she had fangirls.
She believed that these people wouldnt be so superficial.
Yet, the truth proved that she was wrong. Her fan clubs leader who swore to love her forever actually made a post using the fans Weibo:
[Qin Xues fan club.v]: Qin Xue had deceived us. Starting today, Im going from being Qin Xues fan to her anti-fan. Wee and join our [anti-fan club].
When Qin Xue saw this news, her heart dimmed.
When the wall falls, everyone follows suit.
Lin Yueqi rented an apartment in B City. It had two bedrooms and a living room.
There wasnt any furniture in the living room. There were all sorts of exercise machines. In the other guest room, she changed it into the boxing grounds.
She cut off her desire to eat snacks despite her love for it. Every day, she cooked ording to the diet n on the inte. Vegetables with chicken breast meat. There was no oil or salt added. This made her feel like even eating was an invisible type of torture.
However, in order to be skinny and return to the entertainment circle, she must persist.
When she couldnt hold on, she would put little bun and her aunts picture on the table, talking to them.
As expected, it made her feel lively when she had done so.
Whenever this happened, the [Beauty Filter] system mocked in her ears. What you need now is positive energy. Theres no use in talking to them.
Chapter 102 - Missing Mother (4)
Ch.102 Missing Mother(4)
Lin Yueqi disliked people beating down her confidence.
[Beauty Filter] system hadnt eaten in a while. In order to get some negative energy, it pestered in her ears, Little sister, little sister Lin Yueqi.give me some negative energy, okay? Im begging you
Whenever this happened, Lin Yueqi would ce her pencil down and wear her mask, walking out of the door to dance with the aunties at the za.
The aunties were old. They were originally part of the generation that suffered the most, however they never gave up. Whenever Lin Yueqi was there, she would chat with an aunty. The [Beauty Filter] system was forcibly fed positive energy.
To the system, eating positive energy was the same as humans eating shit. If it ate too much, it would die. QAQ.
Lin Yueqi believed that since she could use other peoples negative energy to feed it, she could use other peoples positive energy to attack it.
As expected, she guessed right.
[Beauty Filter] system begged, Pleaselet me goIll unbind you, okay?
Two choices immediately appeared in Lin Yueqis mind.
Agree to unbind.
Disagree to unbind.
Lin Yueqi revealed two eye teeth. Dear Xiao Mei, I am starting to enjoy being with you. I dont want to leave you. Wait for me. Ill help you starve to death.
[Beauty Filter] system: Youre a sadist! Stop! Im going to sue you!
Lin Yueqi clearly remembered the owner of [revenge script] systems appearance. She sketched the womans appearance from her dream and then sent someone to investigate her identity.
Three dayster, she got her results.
The woman was Jiang Mucheng, an inconspicuous screenwriter in the screenwriter circle. She was very talented, but she didnt achieve her dream. Whilst under the risk of dying due to overexhaustion, she wrote a new script only to be seized by someone else. What she received was just meager rewards.
At the beginning of the year, a pce drama became popr. The screenwriter for this pce drama was Jiang Mucheng. This time, not only didnt she receive the fee for writing out the script, she didnt even get her name written on it.
She went on Weibo to expose evidence of the main screenwriter, Zhao Yuan, of viting her rights.
However, no one on the inte stood on her side. They all believed that she was a madman and a nutcase.
Whether on the inte or in the circle, Zhao Yuan was known for his good attitude. No one believed that he had stolen someones work.
Therefore, the online users attacked Jiang Mucheng in the most vile and malicious words. The screenwriter circle also shut her out.
There was ament telling her to die. That became her trigger and she chose tomit suicide.
But when shemited suicide, she unexpectedly recieved [revenge script] system.
She could upgrade [revenge script] system through destroying Lin Yueqis career and to get her revenge.
She wanted to get revenge on the keyboard warriors as well as the big screenwriters that killed off the smaller screenwriters.
Lin Yueqi was looking at the information when the door was knocked on.
This neighborhood was worn down and there was no anti-theft lock. She opened a crack on the door and peeked over, blinking her bright and big eyes. Mommy!
Lu Ting who was behind the little girl wore a heavy look as though objecting to how long she had disappeared for.
The mommy in front of her had gotten much more chubbier and looked way more alike now. She pursed her lips and said in a sobbing tone, patting her stomach, Mommy, you dare say that this little bun was picked up! This little buns heart aches!
Lu Ting pushed the door open. The man stared at the fat woman who was at least 150 pounds or so. His eyes teared up. Madam Lu, you said that we dont feel anything for each other? Thats not what you said when we were in bed together.
Lin Yueqi nced at the little girl clutching her stomach and crying in pain.
Thissuch a mischievous little girl is actually her daughter?
She nced at the teary-eyed dominant CEO and the corner of her lips twitched. Hey, what do you mean? What did I say when we were in bed?
You called my daddy.
At night, in the cramped rented apartment, a woman in her thirties or so turned herptop on.
By the lower right corner of the touchpad, there was a line of words. [Revenge script].
On the screen, there was editor software.
By the lower right corner of the editor software, there were many functions.
With the [revenge script] system, she didnt need to create a script by herself anymore. Theptop would help her. Once it was done, she could add people into the y from the real world and the person would have the same ending as her script.
In other words, she could kill people through this script.
Chapter 103 - We’re Family (1)
Ch.103 Were Family(1)
Lin Yueqi didnt think that Lu Ting and little bun still found her despite moving from A City to B City, even into this deste and remote neighborhood.
They havent seen each other for two months. Lu Ting had dark circles under his eyes and his face had sunken a bit; he even got skinnier, dispirited. He looked devastated, probably the result of being both the mother and father for the past two months. He didnt sleep that well.
Little bun hadnt seen her mother for two months or so, so she was holding onto her clothes right now, refusing to let go. The little girls tears constantly flowed down her face, but she tightly pursed her lips and held in her cries. He lifted the back of her hand and constantly wiped the tears falling down her face.
Lin Yueqi felt horrible. She kneeled down and wiped the little buns tears. Wah. Sister bun, dont cry. Who said I dont want you? Didnt I say Ill be back in at most a year?
The little girl hugged her neck while she was at it and buried her face into Lin Yueqis armpit. With a sobbing tone, Mommy, dont think about escaping again.
I didnt
The moment she finished her words, the tall man standing by the door looked down at her and said faintly, In the two months that you were gone, I invited Aunt Li to A City. If it werent for her, I probably wouldnt be able to handle this little thing. After you left, she refused to let anyone sleep with her. Sometimes, she covered her head with the nkets in the middle of the night and cried softly. In the morning when she woke up, she would always ask when her mommy woulde back.
Lin Yueqi didnt think that her note would hurt little bun that much. She really underestimated her feelings for her.
She didnt know a lot of things actually.
Ever since little bun could remember things, Lin Yueqi had been working hard in the entertainment circle. She rarely came home even on holidays.
Since she started dreaming, she dreamed of her mother leaving or abandoning herwhenever she woke up, her heart ached so badly that she couldnt breathe. She was scared of her grandmother asking her why she was crying, so she curled up into a ball under the covers and secretly cried.
Lin Yueqi carried the little child. While patting her back, she coaxed in a low voice, Sister bun, Qiqi is wrong. Qiqi shouldnt have left you. Can you stop crying?
Okay Little bun wiped her tears and snots on Lin Yueqis shoulders. She choked out, Okayif little bun doesnt cry, Qiqi wont leave?
Yes. Lin Yueqi lifted two fingers and swore, facing the ceiling. I swear and promise that this wont happen again in the future. If it happens againthen I wont be able to open my own supermarket!
The little chubby girl lifted her chubby palm as well. Promise.
Lin Yueqi also lifted her palm and gently touched the little buns chubby palm. I promise! Even four Lu Tings cant break my promise.
The little girl also knitted her brows tightly and said seriously, Promise! Even four daddies cant break my promise.
The neglected Lu Ting at the door was speechless. It seemed like he was always a supporting role and was invisible in front of the daughter and mother.
However, he dly epted this.
Lin Yueqi hugged the little chubby girl for a while before hurriedly shoving her to Lu Tings arms after her arms became sore. She pointed at the bedroom and said, Theres no ce to put the sofa in the living room. You guys can sit on the bed in my bedroom. Im going to pour a ss of water for you guys.
Lu Ting and little bun just noticed that Lin Yueqi had changed a lot. There was no sofa in the living room because the space was taken up by the exercise machines.
Chapter 104 - We’re Family (2)
Ch.104 Were Family(2)
Plus, in just two months, Lin Yueqi had gotten much fatter and rounder.
Lin Yueqi naturally had a small figure and her face was the size of a palm. In the past, she was at most 90 pounds. But in just two months, she had dramatically increased to 160 pounds. It was really unimaginable.
Thankfully, she had been exercising for the past two months and maintained her weight to around 150 pounds or so.
Lately, because she had been working hard, it had stayed at 150 pounds.
In the past, even when she appeared in the media, she looked really skinny. Her two legs were slender like bamboo, making her look very thin. Right now, her face was round. But because of her natural oval face paired with her dimples, it made her look much cuter and pleasing.
Although Lin Yueqi was fat, she still had a beautiful face. When she stood next to Lu Ting, it gave them a sense of security.
In the past, little bun wouldnt let her hug her in fear that she might crush her mother. But right now, the little bun felt safe seeing her mothers healthy body. She didnt need to worry about her mother being blown away by the wind.
Lin Yueqi went to boil water in the kitchen while the father and daughter sat down on the bed.
Little bun sat criss-crossed on bed and pinched her chin, saying in a low voice, Daddy.
Hm. Mr. Lu also sat by the bed, sinking into deep thought.
Little bun talked about her guess. Could mommy have been infected by that bad woman, Qin Xue? Is that why she secretly ran away? Humph. Other dominant CEOs fiancee would run away with their child, but look at mommy. She ran away by herself. Humph
The little girl lowered her head unhappily, fiddling with her chubby feet in annoyance.
People say that fathers and daughters are connected by heart. He and little bun were no exception. Not only did his daughter think of this possibility, but even he was suspicious that she was infected by Qin Xues strange sickness, causing her to be like this.
Lin Yueqi walked in with two sses of water. She watched as father and daughter, one tall and one short, one standing on the bed and one sitting on the bed, looking at her with pitiful expressions.
Lin Yueqi was confused and felt her hair standing on end.
Whatwhat are you guys doing?
The little chubby girl lifted her chubby hand and curled her fingers, indicating for her toe over. Mommy,e over.
Lin Yueqi carried two sses of water over and before she could ask why they were looking at her like that, the little chubby girl stood on her tippy toes and hugged her neck. She patted her back with her hands and said, Mommy, you dont need to feel inferior. No matter whether youre sick or you be old, daddy and I will stay by your side. We wont dislike nor abandon you. Mommy, were family. Even if you got infected with the sickness that makes you fat, were not scared either. As long as we can be with mommy together, little bun is fine with being little chubby girl forever.
She turned around and kissed Lin Yueqis soft face.
Little chubby girl let go of her. Before Lin Yueqi could process what sickness she meant, Lu Ting also hugged her.
The tall man pressed her head against his chest. He cupped the back of her head with his palm and gently patted her. Lin Yueqi, although we arent married, our lives are tightly bound together because of little bun. Before you ept me, I wont intervene in your rtionships, but Ill treat you as my closest friend. Even if you are infected with a sickness that makes you fat, Im not scared nor will I abandon you. This is because youre my closest friend and little buns birth mother.
Chapter 105 - We’re Family (3)
Ch.105 Were Family(3)
Lin Yueiq finally realized what both father and daughter meant by infectious sickness that makes one fat.
She was about to say something when Lu Ting softly kissed her forehead. Cheer up. Well stay with you.
Lin Yueqi acted as though she had touched electricity, trembling. The sses of water she held in her handsnded on the ground and she took a few steps back at the same time.
She covered her forehead which was kissed by Lu Ting and with a red face, she shuttered, Dont you understand that men and women need to maintain a distance? Its one thing if little chubby bun kisses me, but why did you kiss me?
This was her first time being kissed on the forehead. Even more, the man kissing her forehead acted as though it was a proper thing to do and he didnt feel guilty at all.
Lin Yueqi was angry. She rubbed her forehead and her face flushed. Pervert! Youre trying to take advantage of me, yet you make it sound youre being dignified!
Lu Ting acted innocent. Whatwhat did I do? I was really just encouraging you. I didnt mean to take advantage of you.
Lin Yueqi chuckled andined, This is no encouragement.
How could Lu Ting bear to see her suffer losses? Seeing her sullen expression, his heart softened and he hurriedly said, Then, youyou can kiss me.
Lin Yueqi was confused. What?
Lu Ting acted proper. I dont want you to suffer losses.
Lin Yueqi nced at the shameless Lu Ting, walking out of the bedroom whilst being mad. She went to grab the broom by the balcony to clean up the ss shards.
After she left.
Lu Ting and little bun both raised their eyebrows, following closely behind. They gave each other a high five. Little bun patted Lu Tings shoulder with her other hand, looking at him mischievously. Daddy, what type of words of love were they?
Lu Ting replied, Cheesy pick-up lines.
Lin Yueqi walked in with a broom to see the father and daughter pping. The corner of her lips twitched and her icy voice seemed to have frozen the entire room. What are you two doing?
The twos expressions immediately returned to normal. The little one returned to the pitiful expression of when she just saw her mother while the big one held in his mischievous expression and changed into his cool face.
Right after, the two linked their fingers together.
The little chubby girl said in a soft voice, Daddy, you have huge hands. When can little buns hands be as big as yours?
Lu Ting patted the little girls head and said kindly, Silly, your hands will be as big as mine when you grow up.
Lin Yueqi sighed. Why did it feel like the twos conversation sounds like something on TV?
When Lu Ting said silly, goosebumps appeared on Lin Yueqis skin.
She tossed a mop to Lu Ting and said coldly, Dont y with little bun. Come over and mop with me.
Lu Ting received the mop and while Lin Yueqi was bending down to sweep the floor, he blinked his eyes at the little chubby girl. Thetter understood and stuck her tongue out.
After dinner, Lin Yueqi said that she was going to box in the room next to them in order to burn some calories.
Boxing was the quickest way to burn calories. Before Lu Ting came, she punched the punching bag. After Lu Ting came, he became her coach.
After they entered the boxing grounds, she pointed at the fist belts on the wall, asking Lu Ting, Which color do you want?
Lu Ting observed it before quickly noticing that a red one was casually thrown to the side. It seemed like Lin Yueqi frequently used that. Lu Ting responded, Blue.
Blue and red areplementary.
Lin Yueqi picked up a blue fist belt and walked over to him. Here, open your fingers. Im going to wrap it around for you.
Lu Ting obediently listened.
Chapter 106 - We’re Family (4)
Ch.106 Were Family(4)
Lin Yueqi carefully bound it around the mans hand. Unsure whether she touched his fingers, but the man felt her cold fingers. He gently held her fingertip and knitted his brows. Why is your hand so cold?
Is that strange?
The man said in a low voice, You exercise every day, so your hands and feet shouldnt be that cold. It means you have a weak body or you have low blood sugar.
Pesky. Lin Yueqi tied a butterfly knot on his hand and said, Done. How is it? Is my butterfly knot beautiful?
Yes.
Lin Yueqi picked up the red fist belt she frequently wore and prepared to wrap it around her hands when the man grabbed it from her. Extend your fingers.
Oh. She extended her fingers and ordered, Wrap it tightly. Make sure the butterfly knot is good-looking just like how you tie my shoes.
The little chubby girl sat criss-crossed outside of the boxing range, watching as her mommy and daddy wrapped the fist belt around each other. She scratched the back of her head, confused.
Wasnt this love?
Five minutester, they wore their boxing gloves and prepared to spar.
Lin Yueqi attacked the entire time while Lu Ting was just her sparring partner. Her punches and kicksnded soldily on the man.
Because Lin Yueqi sped up, when Lu Ting blocked her, because she didnt follow Lu Tingsmand, she punched his eyes.
Bang.Lu Ting fell on the ground.
Lin Yueqi was also confused, looking at her fist confusedly.
Was her punch that powerful? She knocked the sturdy Lu Ting out in one punch?
The little bun ran into the boxing range and kneeled on the soft cushion, her hand patting Lu Tings face constantly. At the same time, she screamed heart-wrenchingly, Daddy, dont die. Little bun cant be fatherless!
The little actress immediately grabbed Lin Yueqis pants and tugged on it. Mommy, daddy fainted. Quickly perform CPR on him!
Seeing how urgent the situation was, she kneeled by Lu Tings side confusedly. Thishow do I perform CPR? Nevermind. Let me call an ambnce first
The moment she finished her words, the little chubby girl pushed her head down.
Her lipsnded exactly on the mans lips.
Lin Yueqi widened her eyes. After being stunned for a moment, she mimicked the scenes on TV and blew air, her cheeks puffing up.
At the same time, the little bun raised her phone and took a picture of the two.
After that, she secretly posted it on Lu Tings Weibo.
She was clumsy in typing, so she only posted a picture.
Lu Ting coughed a bit before slowly waking up, staring at Lin Yueqi.
Lin Yueqi touched his bruised eye and asked nervously, How are you? Do you need to go to the hospital?
She asked her question and in the next moment, she felt stupid. How could he possibly be fine after that punch?
While helping Lu Ting up, she hollered for the little chubby girl. Little bun, bring mommys bag over. Im bringing your daddy to the hospital.
Okay! The little chubby girl shoved her daddys phone into her pocket, standing up before running to the next room to grab her mommys bag.
At the same time, because of one picture, the Weibo exploded.
The marketing ount also posted.
#Lin Yueqi was gone for two months and she actually became this fat?#
#Lin Yueqi is pregnant? Shes putting on PDA with her husband.#
#In order to act in the new drama, Lin Yueqi gained 50 lbs in two months!#
The first headline talked mostly about how Lin Yueqi had be fat. In the second one, it basically said that Lin Yueqi got pregnant again.
In the third, Lin Yueqis team urgently created that headline in order to save Lin Yueqis image.
Jiachen Media.v: The heroine for is Lin Yueqi. I believe that everyone who had seen it knows that the heroine is a 160 lbs fatty. In order to do her best with this role, Lin Yueqi gained 50 lbs in two months. That was how an actor should act. She is worthy of respect. [thumbs up].
Chapter 107 - I Am a Man (1)
Ch.107 I Am a Man(1)
What was the Jiachen Media?
It was home to few but talented actors. There were ten actors, seven film emperors and empresses, and had possession of Hollywood resources. There were some new actors and each one of them were talented and strong in the field. Even though Qin Xue was known as the first beauty in China and even talked to Jiachen about signing her, they didnt agree.
Just like this. Li Xing even secretly and openly mocked Qin Xues acting skills. He held no tender feelings for
Li Xing had high expectations and hispany bought the best for their actors. Their goal was to receive international awards when they filmed in movies and their TV shows would definitely have spectacr ratings.
Theirpany had good IP + good screenwriters + good actors. In China, they created miracles in box office. As for Li Xing, he also became the legendary spokesperson in the filming industry.
Jiachen Media never gave the IP theirpany bought to any of the outside actors. Yet, this was an exception.
Therefore, everyone was guessing whether Lin Yueqi was signed to Jiachen Media in a low-profile manner. There were even some people who questioned Lin Yueqis ability.
Under this official Weibo, there were two sides to thements. Some were shocked and some questioned the validity.
Ah, the annual is going to begin shooting? When I read the book in jjwxc, I cried like a dog. Uwahhhh. I feel like no one will be able to act on the role of the chubby mama. Who knew you guys decided to give this role to Lin Yueqi.
Lin Yueqi gained 56 lbs in two months? Thats too scary! But from the picture, she and Mr. Lu is living a sweet life. Mr. Lu didnt abandon her despite her gaining weight. There arent that many faithful, handsome and wealthy men.
There are no true feelings in the entertainment and the wealthy circle. Howeverfrom this picture, the fat Lin Yueqi is really like the chubby mama in the movie. Since Jiachen Media is producing the movie, the quality must be guaranteed. A while ago, didnt the author of say that she didnt sell the film rights yet? Howe she suddenly sold it to Jiachen? Im curious how much she sold it for.
Whoa! Lin Yueqi is too dedicated! But her past works seem to be ordinary. Howe she could sign to Jiachen? I feel like with her acting skills right now, shes not worthy of signing to Jiachen.
It might be because she had ordinary acting skills that she was willing to gain 56 lbs. Dont mention the others, but just based on this point, Ive be Lin Yueqis fan!
Wuuu~ My idol is so hardworking! Cheer up, Qiqi. Well be your strongest shields! In the two months that you disappeared, we all thought you left the entertainment circle. We got scared to death. Thankfully you had good news to tell us.
Qiqi is so cute when she gained weight. She has a chubby face that I just wanna poke. Mr. Lu pampers little buns mother so much!
Damn. 56 lbs. Which actor in the entertainment circle could ept this? Ive heard gossip that Lin Yueqi was a hardworking actress back then. I didnt believe but now I do! Lin Yueqi is amazing!
In the hospital. Lin Yueqi followed the nurse to manage the forms for hospitalization.
Lu Tingid in bed and was knitting his brows as he asked little bun, Do you recognize your mistake?
What did little bun do wrong? Little bun just wants to post more of daddy and mommys daily lives. The inte says that daddy doesnt love mommy. The little girl lowered her head wearing a grievance expression, her chin almost on her chest.
Lun Tings anger immediately vanished. He patted the bed and said, Come on.
Chapter 108 - I Am a Man (2)
Ch.108 I Am a Man(2)
Little bun then took off her shoes and got in her daddy bed. She pressed her ears against his chest andid on him. In a low voice, Daddy, I thought youd say I was smartdaddy, dont be mad at me okay? Little bun finds you scary when you knit your brows.
Lu Ting reached over to hug his daughter, his hand cupping the back of her head. He said in a calm tone, I know what youre thinking but you cant upload mommys picture right now to the inte. What would your mommy think when she sees it? What would the inte users think of her when they see her? If she sees the inte mocking her, shed be upset, right?
The man talked to his daughter in a gentle manner, unlike the serious tone he held when he was in thepany. Your mommy loves being beautiful and cares a lot about what people think of her. Daddy and you dont mind her look right now, but that doesnt mean strangers dont mind. The keyboard warriors on the inte would definitely use this chance to attack your mommy.
Little bun pursed her lips. Why does mommy care about their words?
Lu Ting retorted with a question, Little bun, dont force your opinions on others. You think that mommy shouldnt care what others think about her, but what about you? Why do you care if strangers say that daddy doesnt love mommy? Plus, you made your decision and even uploaded that picture.
The analogy made little bun want to dig a hole and bury herself in it. She kneeled on the bed and grabbed her ears with her hands. Daddy, its my fault. I shouldnt have done that.
Lu Ting lifted his head to rub her head. Remember this for the future, okay?
Mhm. The little girl replied with one word, repeating his words. Little bun remembers not to force her opinions on others. But what should we do now? Did little bun cause trouble?
Lu Ting carried his daughter and ced her on his lip. He pinched the little girls nose and said, Obviously leave daddy to clean up the mess.
Before talking to the little girl, Lu Ting had already sent Li Xing a message, telling him to handle this matter at all costs.
Since Big Shot Lu even used the phrase at all costs, Li Xing obviously needed to handle the matter well for him.
Jiachen Media immediately sent a post on Weibo, saying that the female lead for was Lin Yueqi. They even told the users that Lin Yueqi gained weight for the movie, that she was a dedicated actor. It was difficult to find an actress like her. In the entertainment circle where good actors arecking, Lin Yue who gained 56 lbs for her role was the role model for actors.
Not only this, Jiachen immediately sent out the drafts.
The female lead was the 150 lbs Lin Yueqi!>
These drafts were high-quality and the writing was incredible. It sculpted Lin Yueqi into a hardworking actress that gave up on her figure for her role, and even made up a lot of bitter and miserable past experiences for her.
Since was a touching and encouraging movie, the fans of the novel obviously approved of finding someone like Lin Yueqi as the female lead.
The moment the official Weibo announced this, Li Xing sent a message to Lu Ting. Brother, thats the most popr movie of the year . It has incredible novel fans. I havent paid the fee to buy the copyright yet. Do as you see fit.
Chapter 109 - I Am a Man (3)
Ch.109 I Am a Man(3)
Lu Ting sent him a message. Ill have the finance department transfer the money over. How much?
Li Xing replied, Just a billion is enough. My brother is so generous. Youd casually give me a billion in order to pursue a woman.
Lu Ting responded, I refuse to invest in something that Id make losses in. Ill definitely make the money back, no?
Li Xing responded, Ohshes going to act as the chubby mama this time. But what about in the future? Can she sessfully lose weight after she finished acting as the chubby mama? If she still couldnt, wouldnt she have to be aedian?
Lu Ting recalled the whole room of exercise machines as well as her punch and hook while boxing. He had confidence in her. I believe she has a strong enough will to do that.
Li Xing eximed, Its that easy to obtain your trust? Howe I didnt reincarnate into a woman? Itd be better if I gave birth to a son for you. Id be able to get some of your assets and use your body as I wish
Lu Ting turned his phone off and Lin Yueqi hade back from paying the fee.
Lin Yueqi stood by the door and scrolled through her phone. She was shocked as to why she suddenly became the female lead for .
Even more, she hadnt signed to Jiachen Media.
This must be because of Lu Ting.
The bodyguards by the door saw her standing there for a good moment before opening the door for her, indicating her to go in.
Lin Yueqi walked in and asked Lu Tingying in bed, Whats the deal with the inte?
Lu Ting exined everything to her. They did everything for her.
He thought that Lin Yueqi would be very angry, but who knew thedy excitedly pounced over. She cupped his head and kissed him, unusually excited. Old Lu, how can you be that amazing? You actually found the best excuse for me! Heaven, youre such a treasure boy!
Lu Tings face flushed immediately. His heart pounded. In order to hide his emotions, he coughed and said, I am a man.
Treasure man!
Little bun thought her mommy was a hypocrite. When daddy kissed her, she was angry. But when she kissed daddy, she was proud and happy.
Tch.
Lin Yueqi realized that her actions may not be appropriate. Her ears reddened and she forcibly exined, II am just returning the action. I dont like to suffer losses.
After Lu Ting slightly nodded, he asked, Then do you want the role? If not, Ill think of something else.
Act! Why wouldnt I act?!
She needed the positive energy from her career in order to deal with the female side lead in [revenge script] system. She must rise up in her career.
She originally thought that she could only continue to act after she sessfully lost weight and to be adored by everyone. Who knew that just two monthster, despite her not being able to lose weight, her chance hade. was a warm piece of work that was known as the annual encouraging and heartwarming work. It had touched tens and thousands of readers.
The moment the book was published, it broke Chinas record. The copyright license prices had skyrocketed.
The TV y copyright license was bought by an American filmpany with 9.6 million. There was a famous actress there that was willing to gain weight for this as well.
The movie copyright license itself was auctioned to billions. Thetters license was much more expensive than the TV ys. This was because the author believed that if her work became a movie, there may not be any suitable actresses domestically to act this role. She didnt want to sell it, thus listing this sky-high price.
Chapter 110 - I Am a Man (4)
Ch.110 I Am a Man(4)
When Li Xing said that he would buy this script with a billion dors, she still didnt want to sell it. However, Li Xing told her that Lin Yueqi specially gained 56 lbs for this role, wanting to let the author see her sincerity.
The author was touched and sold the copyright license with a billion dors.
Three dayster, Lin Yueqi, Lu Ting, and their daughter returned back to A City with great fanfare. The reporters stopped the family of three at the airport and interviewed them.
With , the reporters looked at her differently.
How many dedicated actors were there in the world? If this movie became popr, Li Yueqi would be the best person within Chinas movie industry.
News of had continued for the next three days. Her fans had grown.
This led Jiang Muchengs [revenge script] systems power to weaken.
In the two months that Lin Yueqi disappeared, the [revenge script] system was able to hit its maximum power. However, because Lin Yueqi reappeared in great fanfare, the level had suddenly stopped to its beginning.
Despite this, she was able to use the [revenge script] system and write a shocking script in a day. If she added in names from the original world, although that person wouldnt die, they would be extremely unlucky.
The moment the [revenge script] system hit its maximum level, she could really kill people using the script.
Jiang Muchen knew that what the [revenge script] system had written for her were actually other writers works which hadnt been published.
The system had stolen the works from the writersputers and then used it for her. Right after, shed take these stolen scripts and quickly register them in the copyright department, iming it as hers.
She didnt care if these scripts were stolen. This world was unfair, so she wanted to let others have a taste of the injustice.
She had sent twenty or so scripts to differentpanies. Only three gave her a response and only one was willing to sign her work.
Thatpany was Li Xings Jiachen Media.
The script she delivered was . Like the annual , both works were heartwarming and touching. It seemed to be surpassing even. The only reason why Li Xing noticed this script was because the content was actually good. He believed that he could train the screenwriter.
Jiang Mucheng stared at the eptance notification sent by Jiachen Media and she pushed the sses on her nose bridge up a bit. There was not a single extra expression on her nk face.
Theputer screen became ck and a line of white words gradually appeared.
Please add the names of people you hate in the script. They will be surrounded by bad luck. Notice. There is a repercussion if you use it. Every time you use it, youd be a bit more stupid. If you encountered Lin Yueqis positive energy attack, youd be stupider by ten points. If it totals to 100 points, youll be a zombie. Are you sure you want to use this?
Her past experiences floated in her mind.
She wanted to be sessful. If it werent that she had no other choice, she didnt want to die either. After all, she had an eighty years old grandmother to take care of. She wanted to earn a lot of money and let the old woman be the happiest grandmother in the world.
Since this world was unhappy, then let these injustices spread to these lucky people.
As the worlds most blessed woman, she should assume more injustice and unfairness.
Jiang Muchengs expression was still ck. She wore ck-framed sses and behind the thick lens, her pair of expressionless eyes didnt even blink.
She nodded. Im sure.
Chapter 111 - I Want to be Famous (1)
Ch.111 I Want to be Famous(1)
The first character Jiang Mucheng added to the script was Zhao Yuan. When she typed the word Zhao Yuan down on the Revenge Script, a smug look emerged on Daizhis face.
Zhao Yuan was a gold medal screenwriter for Jiachen Media whose worth is also very high in the country, winning numerous awards. Indeed, Zhao Yuan was a talented man when he was young, but he ran out of inspiration these recent years and began looking for ghostwriters to write for him without any authorship rights.
Its no secret within the industry that Jiang Mucheng was in this situation. You werent strong enough, so you got bullied. In the screenwriting industry, god knows how many people wanted to get ahead slowly and epted the unspoken rule of ghostwriting for someone else.
She also thought of including Lin Yueqis name in the script, but after all, Lin Yueqi is the heroine of this world. HHer heroine aura can resist the Revenge Script. Therefore, Jiang Mucheng nned to use the butterfly effect to deal with her instead.
As far as Jiang Mucheng knows, Zhao Yuan is the screenwriter for Fat Girl Mama. If she makes Zhao Yuan fall into misfortune, then the rewriting of the film wont go down well, which will naturally affect Lin Yueqi herself.
Whichever scriptwriter epts the script for this movie, she will use the Revenge Script against them.
If the script for Fat Girl Mama is too rubbish, then it doesnt matter how good an actress Lin Yueqi is, she still wont be able to save the movie. Then, if the movie gets poor ratings, the audience will definitely throw all the me on Lin Yueqi.
After all, Yu Mengyis book, Fat Girl Mama has legendary sales numbers for both digital and physical copies. Not to mention the sales results on the, just the publishing sales and subscription clicks alone can put her in the countrys top four writers list.
Some industry insiders say that in time, her book may reach the level of Agatha Christies And Then There Were None, bing a legendary existence in the publishing world. So, the fanbase for the book was quite fierce. Even though Lin Yueqi gained 28 kilograms for the role, she would still definitely take all the me as the lead if the reputation of the movie is bad.
At that thought, a hint of anticipation shed past Jiang Muchengs eyes. She was looking forward to the day when she can use Lin Yueqis negative energy to level up her Revenge Script.
Lin Yueqi had a rich and powerful boyfriend, but she had nothing. Even if Lin Yueqi loses her job, she can still live happily ever after. Thinking of this, Jiang Muchengs conscience felt more at ease.
*
If Lin Yueqi wanted to get positive career energy, it would take more than hype building. Shell have to attract fans with her works and shell be able to get some positive career energy after she manages to attract some fans with her own abilities.
Back at her vi in A City, both Auntie Lin Yu and Xiao Ke were there.
After hearing that Lin Yueqi, who had disappeared for two months, finally returned home, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
When they saw Lin Yueqi walk into the house, both Xiao Ke and Lin Yu was in disbelief.
Xiao Ke rushed over to her with red eyes to worry over her. Sister Qi, even if you want to leave the entertainment circle, theres no need for you to let yourself go like this! Its hard to lose weight. Sis Qi, Ive already rented the supermarket, when are we going to start renovating?
The girl pouted with a slight sob in her tone.
Who says Im leaving the entertainment circle? Lin Yueqi patted her shoulder and said, Not only am I not going to leave, Im even going to do my best in acting from now on. After Fat Girl Mama is over, Ill properly lose weight.
Xiao Ke sniffled and her face looked bitter. What happened to you, Sis Qi? Did something stimte you again? Did you really gain weight because of Fat Girl Mama? Why did you leave without telling anyone? Did you know how worried me and Auntie Lin were?
Chapter 112 - I Want to be Famous (2)
Ch.112 I Want to be Famous(2)
Lin Yu looked at her niece and didnt reproach her at all. She just put on a smile and said, gentle as ever, Are you hungry? Auntie will go and make you dinner.
Sorry for troubling you these past two months, Auntie. Why dont you stay in A City from now on? Lin Yueqi had always wanted her aunt to move to A City, but her aunt always refused because she was used to life in the countryside.
This time, Aunt Lin Yu would not have evene if she hadnt left all of a sudden.
Lin Yu nodded. Yeah, Ill stay. I dont think I can stop worrying leaving young people like you to take care of Tuantuan. The education here is good, I cant just take Tuantuan back again.
Aunt Lin Yu nned to look for a job during the day then she can go with the bodyguard to pick up the kid from the kindergarten after work.
Of course, she could just stay at home and do nothing, but she couldnt just stay idle and needed something to do. If one day, Tuantuans father goes bankrupt and Lin Yueqi cant continue being an actress anymore, then she might still have enough as an aunt to support the whole family.
She could help take some pressure off the kids, but she didnt want to be a burden to them either.
Because of Aunt Lin Yus arrival, Lin Yueqis house in the center of the city is definitely a no go, so they just stayed in the vi for the time being.
After dinner, Tuantuan was brought into the bedroom by Lin Yu to rest. Lin Yueqi took out the novel for Fat Girl Mama and went into the study with Lu Ting.
Lu Ting was working at the desk while she sat on the tatami mats in the study, reading.
The plot was fast-paced, and Lin Yueqi read it with great interest. The authors portrayal ofmon life was so vivid that even a little girl like Lin Yueqi who enjoyed reading overbearing CEO type novels couldnt put the book down.
The main protagonist, Sister Tang Ers husband died in an ident so she said to raise their son alone. She is the sole breadwinner of the family and raised him all by herself, but before she had the chance to enjoy life, she died in a car ident.
Due to concern for her son, her soul was left in the body of a 90-kilo fat girl. When she saw her son crushed by work and depression, she entered her sons life in a different identity.
Due to her old age, she did not understand much of the modern world, but for her sons sake, she tried her best to learn. She taught her son to be strong, encouraged him to restart his life and even made him dig up the gold she hid at the old home before her death, helping him runch his career to chase after girls
The entire process was quiteedic.
In the end, the fat girl mamas mission is aplished and she has to leave the world, and her son also finally found out the truth as well. The book is mainly about the story of a fat girl mama and her son. There was sadness within theedy, and her words were written with the taste of regr life. It was a novel setting that showed how selfless a mothers love could be.
The authors writing is excellent. Even the small details about the fat girl mama eating with her son were outlined in a warm and touching way.
After reading through all his documents, Lu Ting looked up to find Lin Yueqi snot-nosed and crying, both her eyes and her nose swollen and red.
Have you finished reading?
Lin Yueqi closed the book and sniffled before she said, Its so touching. I reminded me of Auntie. Lu Ting, what kind of person is your mother?
I dont remember anymore. Lu Ting grabbed the box of tissues on his desk and moved over to Lin Yueqi, crouching down in front of her. He pulled out a tissue and ced it over Lin Yueqis nose.
Chapter 113 - I Want to be Famous
Ch.113 I Want to be Famous(3)
Lin Yueqi blew her nose and said with a hoarse voice, Me neither. Auntie raised he just like she was my real mother, so in my heart, shes my mom.
Lu Ting threw the tissue into the trash can and just crouched on the ground, looking at Lin Yueqei who was sitting cross-legged atop the tatami mat. After a moment, he said, This is the most touching part of this work. It can touch the deepest parts of a persons heart.
Lin Yueqi rubbed her red and swollen eyes before asking, Is the licensing right expensive? I heard that the TV rights were sold to an American filmpany for 9.8 million US dors, which makes that around 60 or 70 million Renminbi? The movie rights must be at least 20 million? Talented authors can really earn a lot from writing.
Lu Ting grinned but he didnt tell her the truth.
Then, he heard her say, I really dont even know whats money anymore. When will I be able to have tens of millions in savings?
Your pay isnt so low. Youll naturally have it once the movie is over, Lu Ting told her.
Lin Yueqi nodded. Alright. Ill do my best in acting. I really have to thank you this time. Im afraid I wouldnt have been so lucky without your help.
Lu Ting raised a brow. Then, are you going to give me a present as thanks?
Lin Yueqi thought about it and said, You, open your hands.
The man did as she said.
She took out ten RMB from her pocket folded into a heart and passed it to him. Thank you, Mr. Lu, I will definitely live up to the opportunities you offered me.
Lu Ting looked at the heart on top of the palm of his hands and his lips curved up. Self-deprecatingly, he said, And here I thought Id be able to get a kiss from a beauty.
Lin Yueqi followed Tuantuans example and pulled the mans ear. Wow, Old Lu, your skins getting thicker and thicker. Is it because youve been hanging around our little demon queen Sis Tuan?
It is all thanks to the girls teachings. Lu Ting wasnt bothered at the girls actions, he just asked, What are your ns for the future? If youre going to stay in the entertainment circle, youll have to have made ns.
I want to be famous.
To what degree?
I want to go international.
Lu Ting was silent for a moment before he said, Fat Girl Mama still needs time to prepare. Youll have a two-week window. Even though Im not the type to chase after stars, I understand this circle has nock of neers. The masses are forgetful so youll have to n your time here and what youre going to do from here on out. Youve done a lot to break your own reputation due to your grudge with me, so youll have to find a way to raise your presence, show them a more attractive side to you, and dont just randomly take on roles in the future. If you get a bad script, its easy to wipe out your hard-earned reputation.
Yeah, I know. Thats why I discussed with Xiao Ke. I n to take on some reality shows just like the Celebrity Exam Competition to gather some heat.
Lu Ting felt that she was on the right track. He nodded. Im rooting for you.
Lu Ting, youre really a good father.
Lu Ting did not act modest and insteadplimented her as well. Youre a good mother too.
Lin Yueqi reached out to give him a high five. Old Lu, give me five!
Lu Ting looked at the womans dainty little hand. He gave her a high five and held that hand tightly in his hands like a promise between sworn friends.
Lin Yueqi could feel the strength in the mans hands. When she received his wordless motivation, her eyes began to feel warm. Old Lu, from here on out, were going to be sworn parents for that fat girl. Wait for me to earn more money. When I do, Ill get you something better.
Chapter 114 - I Want to be Famous (4)
Ch.114 I Want to be Famous(4)
He had heard of sworn friends before, but sworn parents for a fat girl isWhat kind of bizarre statement was that?
She balled her hands into a fist and hammered her chest. Old Lu, wait for me to be better, stronger. From now on, not only will I work hard for the fat girl, but also for you.
Even though Lu Ting didnt know the deeper meaning of her words, he saw the firmness in her eyes that she wanted to protect both him and their daughter.
Seemingly having felt something in his heart, Lu Ting stared at her glimmering eyes and whispered, Lin Yueqi, the way you look when youre working hard is really attractive.
Lin Yueqi showed him a toothy grin. Wow, Old Lu, are you so romantic when youpliment people too? Dont keep looking at me with that seductive gaze. My mind is sober, I may not marry you in the future. I want to marry for love, and the one I marry must be someone I sincerely like. Otherwise, its not fair for either of you. You know what I mean, dont you, Old Lu?
Lu Ting nodded. Yeah. It seemed like what he saw earlier was just an illusion. This girl had no intention to protect him at all.
The man felt a little sullen inside.
Seeing that he understood, Lin Yueqi breathed out a sigh of relief and held her chest. Her gaze seemed to be focused on a faraway ce. Because, love is something that can ovee all difficulties.
Lin Yueqi seemed to be hinting something with her words.
Lu Ting fell silent. Completely silent.
Lin Yueqi then asked, Whats wrong with you, Old Lu?
As if Lu Ting had received a great shock, his eyes suddenly turned red. The extremely fast rate in his demeanor scared Lin Yueqi so much that she shrunk back while holding her chest in fright. Wow, what happened to you, Old Lu?
The man looked like a big tiger that received a major blow.
Lin Yueqi watched the man leave the study, face still confused. Was it something she said?
All she wanted to do was to tell Lu Ting to wait until they developed their feelings before getting married, so why was he so angry? UnlessCould it be? A domineering president type like Lu Ting didnt need love?
Fine then, she just wont mention it in the future.
Lu Ting went back to his room, his heart feeling suffocated. Snowkes were falling outside the window, but he took a cold shower.
When he came out, he still felt stuffy. After struggling a bit, he sent a WeChat message to Li Xing:
I think shes in love with someone else.
After sending over a few dots, Li Xing wrote, Hahahahahahaa hahaha youre gonna fucking kill me withughter ahahahahahaha, you go too far with your corny flirting again? You got her sick of you didnt you? Hahahahahahaha.
Faced with the relentless ridicule of his friend, Lu Tings moodiness deepened.
Lu Ting coughed and calmed his emotions down before offering some sincere advice. Ourpany has a reality show called Sweet Family Trip, what do you think? Wanna participate with your gal and kid? Ill have the writers write you the manliest script ever. Your girl will be just in time for Fat Girl Mama after the show.
Lu Ting, ?
Li Xing, No? Forget it then. Pretend I never said anything. Plenty of people are asking but I dont even give them the chance!
Lu Ting, Alright.
When he saw the word appear on his screen, Li Xing could somehow feel the grievances of his old buddy Lu. How hard is it for him to chase after a girl? Seriously, to push a proper overbearing president into this.
*
A weekter, Lin Yueqi, Lu Ting, and Tuantuan entered the set for Sweet Family Trip. There were a total of four groups of families participating in the show, all in groups of 2 parents and 1 adorable child. Each group is paired with one of the reality shows writers and they had to act based on the script for the show effect.
Chapter 115 - I Want to be Famous (5)
Ch.115 I Want to be Famous(5)
Lin Yueqi knew one of the family groups. Song Renze and her can be considered old acquaintances. Thats the male lead for Marriage Outrage. Originally, Song Renze invited her and Tuantuan to his sons birthday party, but Lin Yueqi disappeared for two months because she suddenly gained weight.
When Lin Yueqi arrived with her whole family to the vige where the recording was going to take ce, and the family of three were still eating in the farmhouses central room when the director rushed over, panting. Not good, your groups screenwriter encountered two idents on the road. Hes fine, but hes too scared toe.
Lu Ting frowned. Change him out then. Is nobody else on standby?
The director pped his thigh and said, Yeah, there is. After the ident with the first screenwriter, we immediately called in the second one. But unexpectedly, the second screenwriter was suddenly arrested by the police on the way here. We dont know what the situation is, but hes still waiting at the police station.
Lin Yueqi, Then change it again!
The director could almost cry. But the third screenwriter had it even worse off. She was almost at the vige, but her water suddenly broke. She had to give birth
Tuantuan who was eating with her mouth covered in grease held her bowl and furrowed her brows. Giving birth is big business, it cant be dyed. Has the screenwriter auntie given birth yet?
Yeah, she did. Its a fat little girl. The crews overjoyedbut thats not the main point. Most importantly, the fourth screenwriter is on the way here, but he suddenly won five million in the lottery and cante either
The director moved the bench over and sat down in front of them, sighing. When the fifth screenwriter was on his way here, he got so excited when he heard that he was going to be writing for the grandson of the richest man in the country and fainted. Anyway, I dont know what happened but its like they all got cursed or something. All the writers who were supposed toe for you guys had something dying them and they couldnte.
Lin Yueqi, Say no more, its definitely Jiang Muchengs doing.
She remembered that there was an introduction to the Revenge Script in her dream. It cant kill anyone before reaching max level, but it can make people very unlucky. The more they dont want something to happen, the more likely itll happen. Getting into a car ident, suddenly giving birth, getting caught by the policeShe can understand these, but what on earth is up with that five million?
Director, Its really infuriating to talk about it, but just some time ago, that scriptwriter swore that unless he won five million, hell never go home and inherit the family business. How long has it been? Who expected that hell really win the money? Really,paring yourself with others is just going to piss you off.
Lin Yueqi, Thencan we still participate in the reality show without a screenwriter?
Huh? Im just hoping you guys can take it easy when youre no the set. You cant just do whatever you want. Thats the bad thing about not having a scriptwriter, its hard to get fans. There are a lot of fans who really pat attention to the face and if they catch any small details of the guests and theyll brainstorm a whole ocean of ideas and make a big deal out of it, so you guys try to be more careful.
*
Jiang Mucheng was also in the crew. Shes with family no.2.
She had to make family no.2 stand out from all the others so she can pressure Lin Yueqi.
Right now, Lin Yueqis family doesnt have a scriptwriter, so theres a higher chance shell make a mistake. Then, when the show airs, their mistakes will be picked up by the audience and theyll create a whole story out of it, and their reputation will naturally go down with theizens.
Its very likely that the guests of the reality show will be very popr, but theres also the possibility theyll be doomed with passerby syndrome.
The author has something to say:
Lin Yueqi: Miss Supporting Female Lead, I dont want to win ten million, I really dont want to. Quick, write my name in the script.
Jiang Mucheng:
Chapter 116 - Girls Are Treasures (
Ch.116 Girls Are Treasures(1)
ording to the numbering system, Lin Yueqi and her family is family no. 4, while Song Renzes family is family no. 3.
Lin Yueqis family was discussing what they were going to do on the show when Song Renze brought his wife and his son, Song Mu, over.
The little boy, Mumu, was already five and a half, and since he was an early bloomer, his face wasnt as tender as the other kids. He wasnt a big talker and his brows were constantly knitted into a frown, looking very serious.
Mumu was holding a pot of red braised pork and walked up to Lu Ting, handing it to him.
Seeing that he wasnt saying anything and just looked at Lu Ting, Mumus mother quickly said, Mumu, what should you call him?
Only then did the boy call Lu Ting Uncle.
Lu Ting took the red braised pork from the child and opened the lid. Instantly, the room was filled with the aroma of food. Mumus mother quickly said, I heard from Renze that your little girl loves red braised pork, so I made a bit more and brought some over. The quality of the meat out in the countryside is pretty good, the taste is really fresh too. You should give it a try.
Without even waiting for Mother Mumu to finish speaking, TUantuan had already picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece, and began to gorge herself, covering her mouth with grease and sauce. When they saw her enjoying her meal so much, everyone else in the room couldnt help but lick their lips as well.
The director swallowed his saliva andmented, Mr. Lu, this fat little girl of yours sure can eat. Will she be okay if she keeps eating like this?
At first, when Lu Ting saw how much Tuantuan ate, he also felt that she might get herself sick one day if she stuffs herself this way, but reality proved that not only was she eating fine, she was also pretty happy.
Mumu was also frightened by the way Tuantuan ate and subconsciously frowned.
Tuantuan moved her half-eaten pork to Mumus mouth and said, Big brother, do you want some?
Mumu looked disgusted. No, thank you.
When he heard about what happened to their group, Song Renze felt very sorry for them, and he proposed a solution. Thenwhy dont we share a scriptwriter? It wont do without a script. Its hard to get the tastes of the audience. If you follow the script strictly, you at least wont make any big mistakes.
The director took Song Renzes hand. Teacher Song! You really are a selfless and good man!
Lin Yueqi was also very touched and palmed her arms at him in respect. Brother Song, you have my thanks!
No problem, its what I should do.
That very night, however, Song Renzes scriptwriter suddenly had something stuck on his teeth while he was drinking water when he was writing the script for the two families and it hurt so much that he rolled on the ground. So, the crew was forced to send the man to the town hospital.
The next day.
Lin Yueqi and Song Renze sat in the same house, both staring at each other, silently.
Lin Yueqi looked very apologetic at Song Renze. Im sorry, Brother Song. We ended up infecting you with our misfortune too.
Even Lu Ting who was never superstitious felt for the first time that they had dragged family no. 3 down with their bad luck. He also looked apologetic. Im really sorry.
That Big Brother Lu himself would apologize to him made Song Renze feel a bit embarrassed. He waved his hands and said, This really has nothing to do with you. Its just a coincidence.
The adults of both families chatted inside of the central hall while Tuantuan and Mumu sat together on the doors threshold.
Mumu sat upright on the threshold with his hands on his knees. His expression looked serious.
He was looking far ahead as if he were thinking of something with a cool face. His face looked so serious that he hardly seemed like a child, but he still had the cuteness of an old kid.
Chapter 117 - Girls Are Treasures (2)
Ch.117 Girls Are Treasures(2)
The camera crew surrounded the two kids. Tuantuan was a chatter-mouth, and seeing that Mumu was ignoring her, she began chatting with the staff again. However, the staff ignored her too, so she could only turn back and poked Mumus shoulder. Hey, whatre you looking at?
Being poked by her, Mumu frowned and scooted to the side, putting distance between them.
Tuantuan could tell what he was thinking and she had an aggrieved look. Do you dislike Tuantuan?
Mumu said, no. Im thinking about life.
Tuantuan crossed her arms and humphed. Then, she turned her back against Mumu and said, Not inviting Tuantuan to join you in thinking about life means you dislike Tuantuan! Hmph! Tuantuan wont y with you anymore.
Only then did Mumu turn around to look at the girl. He reached out to pat her shoulder. ThenDo you want to think about life with me?
Tuantuan pointed her nose to the sky and humphed again.
Mumu didnt know what to do with her, so he forcefully dragged her into thinking about life with him. When you grow up, do you want to be a scientist or a dancer?
Tuantuan pondered for a moment. ICan I be a foodie instead?
Mumu was clearly piqued by the unknown. He moved closer again and asked her with a serious face. Whats a foodie?
Tuantuan exined it to him seriously. Someone who can eat all the delicious food in the world!
Mumu, It sounds very amazing.
The crew was very amused by the conversation between these two kids. Tuantuan is innocent and adorable and though Mumu pretending to be mature was very different from the other kids, he waspletely overwhelmed by Tuantuans small-talk.
Together, these two kids were matched together on the same task. Even without the script, they were able to create a cute andedic scene.
*
In the afternoon, the children of family no. 3 and no. 4 stayed at the bottom of the hill to gather ingredients in the vige while their parents, who were assigned to pick wild vegetables, went up the hill.
However, the old man who was leading the way suddenly developed narcolepsy. He fell to the ground and began snoring. What were they going to do? The parents of the two families looked at each other. None of them knew what to do.
The crew was already tired enough from carrying the equipment so they couldnt just leave them to carry the old man down the hill. So, Song Renze and Lu Ting took up that task instead.
While walking on the road, Lin Yueqi looked silently at the sky, but she was constantly muttering, I dont want to win ten million, I dont want to win ten million
She hoped so much that the supporting female character Jiang Mucheng could write her name into the script. This way, whatever she didnt hope to happen would happen, and she would be able to win ten million.
Even at these times, Lin Yueqi was still envious of that guy who suddenly won five million and had to go home and inherit the family business.
At around 10 pm, all 4 families finished their shooting for the day and went back to their rooms to rest.
Jiang Mucheng was very proud to learn of the chaos that ensued today for family no. 3 and no. 4. At the same time, she also received good news from thepany.
A scandal broke out that Zhao Yuan was doing drugs after he received the adaptation project for Fat Girl Mama. Zhao Yuan was detained and his name was a hot topic on Weibo for quite a while. Jiachen Media who always cared a lot about their reputation immediately distanced themselves from Zhao Yuan and gave the project of Fat Girl Mama to another famous screenwriter instead.
Jiang Mucheng stared at herputer and her brain seemed to be running slow, but this little bit shouldnt affect her daily life.
She wanted to add Lin Tuantuans name to the script but she hadnt thought of a proper event trigger yet.
Jiang Mucheng went to the courtyard to fetch water so she could wash up, but she suddenly heard some movements behind her.
Chapter 118 - Girls Are Treasures (3)
Ch.118 Girls Are Treasures(3)
It was currently winter and there was a thinyer of ice beside the well. Due to how distracted she was, she identally slipped and fell on the stone bricks when she was carrying her bucket of water back, and it hurt so much she couldnt move for a while.
She was in so much pain that she couldnt even cry out.
Two young voices could be heard in the dark courtyard.
Hey, Mumu, someone seems to have fallen down. Lets go help her up.
Dont go, its a fraudster.
But look at her, she seems to be in a lot of pain
Okay then, go help her up.
Why dont you go?
A guy has to stay behind as the witness. I have to prove that you werent the one who pushed her down.
Tuantuan answered with an oh, then she looked in admiration at the boy. Mumu, youre so smart!
As soon as their voices fell, Jiang Mucheng saw them walking towards her. Her hand was very cold on the frosty surface. Tuantuan helped her up and took her hand, rubbing it and blowing her hot breath onto it. Auntie, are you cold? Let Tuantuan help you rub.
The little boy stood at the side, looking around as if he was keeping watch.
After Tuantuan helped Jiang Mucheng up, she turned to the little boy and said, Look, Mumu, this big sister isnt a fraudster.
Youre so naggy, Mumu frowned. He urged, Dont forget our mission.
Ohhhh, right! We have a mission! Tuantuan raised her head to look at Jiang Mucheng. Auntie, have you seen a little white dog? Its about this small. It got hurt and disappeared, so Mumu and I came out to look for it.
Jiang Mucheng recognized these two children.
One was Lin Yueqis daughter, Tuantuan, while the other was Song Renzes son, Mumu.
She looked dumbfounded and shook her head. Under the thick lenses of her sses, her eyes were lifeless.
Tuantuan saw that her other hand was bleeding. She immediately took her hand and said, Oh no! Big sister, your hand is bleeding!
Jiang Mucheng frowned and pulled her hand back.
Before she could even shoo the two children away, Tuantuan took the initiative to pull her into the house.
The coal stove in the small bedroom was burning a bright red and it was warm inside. Tuantuan took out a cute bandaid with a cartoon bear head printed on it from her little shoulder bag and said to Jiang Mucheng. Big sister, put your hand up.
Jiang Mucheng clutched her hand and didnt make any movements.
The little boy, Mumu, couldnt stand to watch the sight anymore. He grabbed her hand and lifted it up before sputtering in a bad mood. You women are so troublesome.
Tuantuan carefully applied the bandaid to her hand while she said, What do you know? Papa said that girls are treasures.
Mumu said, Heh, women.
After putting the band-aid on her, Tuantuan held Jiang Muchengs hand and blew on the wound. Then, she looked up and asked, Are you feeling better, Big Sister?
Jiang Mucheng nodded stiffly.
Mumu saw aputer on the desk and looked over at it because he was curious.
Three words were disyed on the screen.
Lin Tuantuan.
Mumu pointed at the screen in surprise. Fat Girl, thisputer has your name on it.
Tuantuan went over to the desk to see and sure enough, that was her name.
Jiang Mucheng looked at the two children, her eyes growing darker and darker. She grabbed two ss bottles from her bag and slowly walked towards the two kids
Just as she was about to reach them, Tuantuan suddenly turned around and grinned. Big sister, are you doing screenwriting? Youre so nice. Right now, nobody else is helping Tuantuan write besides you in the crew
Jiang Mucheng put the two bottles of drinks into the hands of the two kids and said, Go quickly.
Tuantuan asked, Big sister, are you going to write a good script for Tuantuan? Mama wants to be famous, Tuantuan wants to be famous too.
Jiang Mucheng responded, No.
Tuantuan looked teary-eyed at her. Come on, Tuantuan will give you the yummiest red braised pork. I can also give you the super cute Mumu to be your little brother!
Chapter 119 - Girls Are Treasures (4)
Ch.119 Girls Are Treasures(4)
Mumu, This fat girl, she sold him out just like that? Heh, women.
Jiang Mucheng didnt say a word and just looked at the two children.
Tuantuan held the drink in her arms and bounced. Is that a yes, Big Sister? Big Sister is the best! Youll definitely be the greatest Screenwriter Sister! Ill go and tell mommy, Papa, and Uncle Director now! See you tomorrow, Big Sister!
Then, the fat girl happily ran off.
Mumu followed behind her. When he reached the door, he turned around and said to Jiang Mucheng, Big Sister, please give me a more manly character if possible. I want to be a mature grown man!
Jiang Mucheng,
Watching the two children leave, a line of words appeared on theputer screen. Annoying kids, get rid of them*.
Jiang Mucheng frowned.
She sat down in front of theputer. She was originally going to continue writing after the three letters of Tuantuans name, but when she looked at the cartoon bandaid on the back of her hand, she suddenly lost the will to do so.
Another line of words appeared on the screen. Think of what youve experienced. You wont make it big if youre soft-hearted.
Jiang Mucheng frowned deeply. This is the first time she ever went against the system, but the past forcefully reyed inside her mind. She really didnt want to think about those days anymore.
She erased the words Lin Tuantuan and typed in Lu Ting instead.
Even though Lu Ting was protected by the male lead halo, his halo already granted him status and career. Under logical and reasonable circumstances, getting him infected with some petty disease is still within the systems abilities. However, worse misfortunes would just fail on him.
*
Since Lin Yueqis family didnt have a script, they had to record the show entirely by ad-libbing. The three of them slept in one room with Lu Ting sleeping on a futon on the floor, and the mother and daughter pair taking the bed.
In the middle of the night, Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan were woken up by Lu Tings coughing.
The mother and daughter pair turned on the lights and sat up from bed. Then, they looked at the pale-faced man who had shriveled into a ball.
In Tuantuans mind, her father is stronger than anything. But right now, her shivering Papa looked like a pitiful dog in the rain.
Tuantuan caught Lin Yueqis arm and said, Mama, Papa is so pitiful.
Lin Yueqi frowned and immediately got out of bed, touching Lu Tings forehead. It was burning hot. Then, she took out a thermometer to check his temperature and found that he was burning about 40 degrees hot. She didnt dare to dally and immediately called for the crews doctor.
After the doctor came in, he said while administering an injection to Lu Ting, He cant sleep on the floor anymore. You should get him on the bed. Dont let him take his nket off when he sleeps. Cover him up tight and hell be fine after sweating it out.
After the doctor left, Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan clutched Lu Tings nket. One big and one small, one held Lu Tings back while the other hugged his front. They were especially worried about Lu Ting getting rid of his nket at night, so Lin Yueqi wrapped her legs tightly around the mans body. Tuantuan had wanted to do the same as her Mama but her legs were so thick and fat then they would slide off when she tried.
Lu Ting didnt have much strength to speak, but he knew exactly what the mother and daughter pair were doing.
He felt that getting ill was worth it.
He really didnt believe it. Hes in such a good position in life and his love rival thinks they can do anything to him? Heh.
Even though he didnt believe in God, he still silently prayed in his heart.
Please bless him so that his illness mayst a little longer.
Hopefully God can hear his prayers.
*
When the Revenge Script system heard Lu Tings prayers, it was so angry that it nearly paralyzed the system.
Damn it, is this Jiang Mucheng an idiot? How could she take a revenge system and turn it around into a heartfelt wish-making system?!
It had mocked the host of Flourishing Beauty for being as stupid as a pig, but now it seems that its own host was worse than one!
Seriously pisses it off!

He really didnt believe it. Hes in such a good position in life and his love rival thinks they can do anything to him? Heh.
Even though he didnt believe in God, he still silently prayed in his heart.
Please bless him so that his illness mayst a little longer.
Hopefully God can hear his prayers.
*
When the Revenge Script system heard Lu Tings prayers, it was so angry that it nearly paralyzed the system.
Damn it, is this Jiang Mucheng an idiot? How could she take a revenge system and turn it around into a heartfelt wish-making system?!
It had mocked the host of Flourishing Beauty for being as stupid as a pig, but now it seems that its own host was worse than one!
Seriously pisses it off!
Chapter 121 - The Pheasant and the Phoenix (2)
Ch.121 The Pheasant and the Phoenix(2)
At four oclock in the morning, Lu Ting felt hot and was sweaty all over.
With Lin Yueqi and his daughter stuck to him, his thin pajamas were stuck to his skin with sweat, making him feel sticky and ufortable.
In order to get a breeze in, Lu Ting pulled his hand out of the nket.
However, as soon as his hands escaped from the nket, a half-asleep Lin Yueqi grabbed his wrist and shoved it back in. With her eyes closed, she muttered, Old Lu, please behave
As if affected by Lu Tings naughty act, Tuantuan pped her meaty hand on Lu Tings face and said, Papa, you have to behave
Lu Ting was firmly suppressed by the mother and daughter pair to stop him from catching a cold.
Inside of the room.
The coals in the firece were getting hotter and hotter and he was sweaty, but the mother and daughter pair didntin at all and just hugged him tightly.
A girls head just happened toy right below Lu Tings neck. Lowering his head, he put his lips to the girls head and secretly gave it a light peck.
His heartbeat elerated and he had the inexplicable feeling of guilt like he was doing something sneaky and wrong.
The girl in his arms weighed 75 kilos and her slightly chubby face was very fair and soft. Without any makeup, you could just barely see a light red scar on her cheekbones that were otherwise invisible if you didnt pay attention.
Lu Ting felt like he was possessed.
At first, he just wanted to marry her. But now, not only did he want to marry her, he wanted her to love him wholeheartedly.
Humans are inherently greedy, and he wanted more and more.
He was bing more and more curious about the person Lin Yueqi likes. Who was he, and what did he look like?
*
The next morning.
As soon as Lin Yueqi and the girl opened their eyes, the first thing they did was check the mans forehead with their hands. It wasnt too intuitive to check the temperature with their hands, though. Lin Yueqi pulled the man down by his ear and touched her forehead to his. After a moment of silence, she frowned. Your temperature is still a bit on the high side.
Having his ear tugged on and his forehead touching hers, it felt like Lu Tings cheeks were burning.
As if recalling something, he asked, Does Miss Lin usually take the temperature of someone of the opposite this way?
Lin Yueqi looked amused. Im not treating you like the opposite sex. A gay best friend is forever. What, did you want to draw a line with me?
Lu Ting, He almost choked on his breath, but he got over it.
Whos your gay best friend?!
Tuantuan slid out of bed and shuffled along with her fluffy slippers, getting the thermometer off the cupboard with some difficulty. Then, holding the thermometer, the fat girl crawled back onto the bed and sat in front of Lu Ting. Papa, open your mouth.
Lu Ting opened his mouth obediently and took the thermometer his daughter brought over into his mouth.
After he had his temperature taken, Lin Yueqi got out of bed to get him some warm water. Then, as the doctor advised, she took out the prescribed amount of medicine and fed it to him.
Lu Ting swallowed down two of the medicine pills, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. He immediately put the ss of water back next to the bed and frowned.
When Lin Yueqi saw him acting like a child, she pried his mouth open and tossed the rest of the medicine into the overbearing presidents mouth before forcing him to drink water.
Lu Ting coughed for a while. Is this how you usually feed medicine to kids?
Are you a kid? Lin Yueqi snapped back. This is the most direct way for people like you who act spoiled when youre sick.
Lu Ting, Is Tuantuans mother a demon?
At this moment, they heard a knock on the door.
The crew asked from the other side, Teacher Lin, Mr. Lu, are you awake?
The door was opened by Lin Yueqi from the inside with a creak. She was wearing her hair casually and had no makeup on. Poking her head out, she asked the staff members, What is it?
Chapter 122 - The Pheasant and the Phoenix (3)
Ch.122 The Pheasant and the Phoenix(3)
The staff handed them a task card and said, Ivee to inform you that the chef scheduled to cook for you guys had to leave for a while because his son got into Tsinghua University. So, youll have to handle your food for theing few days, and the crew wont provide you with any ingredients. You guys dont have a script so you can just do it however you want. The director said hell just pick out the good cuts after were done.
Lin Yueqi agreed with a calm face.
The staff squatting in the yard thought that Lin Yueqi would protest a little like family no. 1 and no. 2, but she didnt. She even asked, Since theyre not providing ingredients, can we take the ingredients on the hill with us?
Of course. You guys can join family no. 2ter and go up the hill to pick vegetables and hunt. Weve already prepared the tools for you.
Lin Yueqi wondered. Huh? Are we not doing our task with family no. 3 today?
The staff member said, No. 3 is with no. 1 today. The four groups have to all get to know each other.
After sending the staff off, Lin Yueqi returned to the room and began packing up.
Meanwhile, the staff squatting in the yard began a heated discussion:
So after family no. 4 topples family no. 3s screenwriter, theyre going to start targeting no. 2 as well?
Ive been watching the camera footage I shot over the past two days for no. 4 and god their interactions are so awkward. Thank god that fat girl of theirs is still pretty good in front of the camera.
I heard the doctor say that they dont even sleep in the same bed. Could it beThose two arent a couple at all, arent they? They never even kissed since the show started.
Its not that hard to understand okayLook at the pair in no. 2, theyre also the rich second generation + actress pairing, but arent they real sweet? No. 4 is definitely going to bepared to no. 2 if they meet. Liu Yu and her husband are so sweet on the camera, but did you even see Lin Yueqi holding hands with Lu Ting? Did they kiss? Lets not talk about this anymore, itll be bad if someone hears.
Its no surprise that Lu Ting doesnt like Lin Yueqi anyway. After all, Lin Yueqis one of those rural gold diggers from the hills. She doesnt have the skill but she still likes to act aloof. Family no. 2 still has their screenwriter so Im sure the couple plot triggers must be super cute. This isnt something Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting canpare with them on.
Actually, it wasnt just the staff. Both family no. 1 and no. 2 are all waiting to see no. 4 embarrass themselves.
Both family no. 1 and no. 2 have also heard of what happened with no. 4s screenwriters.
Even though family no. 3 doesnt have a scriptwriter either, Song Renze and his son, Mumu, has participated in simr programs before.
However, family no. 4 was different. Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting arent married and they dont even seem to have much affection for each other. Their hearts arent in sync and they have no script so theyll definitely make a lot of mistakes, and theyll have even less of an opportunity to show anything on the show.
Family no. 4s plot points will definitelye out terrible after editing.
Family no. 4 was originally the big topic starter and naturally, the audience will pay more attention to them. However, theyre sure topletely dislike them after the show airs.
Family no. 1 and no. 2 smugly believed that theyll definitely stand out inparison to no. 4.
*
Family no. 2s Liu Yu is an idol actress and her husband, Ning Hao, is also a rich second generation, but his family background isnt as amazing as Lu Ting. Their daughter is 6 years old and her name is Ning Tiantian.
This little girl is quite a needy one. When she first arrived at the vige, she hated how dirty the floor was and wouldnt get down no matter what. She cried her heart out.
Chapter 123 - The Pheasant and the Phoenix (4)
Ch.123 The Pheasant and the Phoenix(4)
This little girl is cute and had good manners. She really was like a delicate little princess. The crew privately discussed theparison between Ning Tiantian and Tuantuan. The former is a Princess Snow White and the other is a pheasant.
Lin Yueqis family was still packing up when family no. 2 showed up on their yard with bows and arrows on their backs.
Ning Hao was holding his daughter and carrying a traditional hunting bow on his back. Liu Yu on the other hand had a face full of makeup a pair of clean white sneakers, her hands empty. She saw that LIn Yueqi was wearing simple countryside shoes and frowned subconsciously. Then, she asked, Qiqi, have you guys packed up yet?
Almost done. Lin Yueqi put on her boots and stood up, pulling her hair into a bun as she instructed Lu Ting. Old Lu, grab that basket. Well need to load up the vegetables into thatter.
Lu Ting looked at the rustic basket and put on a displeased expression.
The fat girl climbed into the basket knowingly and sat inside, blinking her eyes at Lu Ting. Im ready, Papa!
Lin Yueqi looked over at Tuantuan who had crawled into the basket and said with a cold face, Old Lu is fatally ill and you still have the heart to make him carry you? Whos going to raise you if you crush him?
Lu Ting, Whos fatally ill?
The fat girl climbed out of the basket and pouted. Okey, Tuantuan will walk by herself.
Liu Yu and Ning Hao both looked at the way Lu Ting, Lin Yueqi, and Tuantuan interacted and they mocked them secretly in their hearts.
The fat girls hillbilly nature was hard to change. Even though Lu Ting had taken her back, she still followed her money and had the rural streak in her.
When the two families went hiking, Tuantuan quickly trotted up the mountain bath while Ning Tiantian was in her fathers arms the whole time.
Tuantuan waved at Ning Tiantian and asked to y, but the girl pouted and frowned. No. Youre a pheasant and Im a princess. I dont want to y with you.
Tuantuan,
Lin Yueqi felt inexplicably angry. She instantly howled without caring about the camera, Hey little girl, who did you call a pheasant?!
Ning Tiantian was so scared that she could cry, and her father, Ning Haos face looked twisted as well. He had wanted to defend his daughter, but after seeing the cold-faced man behind her, he endured it and only coaxed his daughter in a quiet voice.
Liu Yu couldnt just act out in front of the camera either and kept a gentle expression. Qiqi, its just a joke between kids. Dont take it too seriously.
Lin Yueqi eyed her and also short her a smile. Youre right, its just kiddy talk. Where did this kid learn that word? Pheasant? Im pretty sure someone had to teach her that. Miss Liu, youll have to keep a tight watch on your kid. Itll be bad if some bad-mannered people teach her the wrong things.
Liu Yu,
Lu Ting picked up Tuantuan and said in aforting way, Its not like youre money, not everyones going to like you. You dont have to force your way into other peoples circles. When you be good enough, people will naturallye to please you.
Tuantuan nodded to show her understanding. Papa is right. Actually, its not so bad being a pheasant. A pheasant is more resilient than a phoenix, and they are also edible! Compared to a phoenix whos only good for looking at, Tuantuan likes the pheasant more.
The vegetable patch at the back of the hill is lush with can blossoms and pea seedlings, adding life to the winter season.
The two families picked vegetables together at the patch.
The leaves of the vegetables are covered with a delicateyer of white frost and it was inevitable that one would feel cold when touching them. After picking vegetables for a while, Liu Yu said softly in a pampered tone to her husband, Hubby, Im cold
Ning Hao leaned over and kissed her. What about now?
Liu Yu shook her head bashfully. Not anymore. Hubbys kiss warmed my heart.
Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting looked at each other, then the two met the gaze of Tuantuan who was squatting at the side.
Chapter 124 - The Pheasant and the Phoenix (5)
Ch.124 The Pheasant and the Phoenix(5)
The family of three, All of them shuddered in unison. This Mary Sue line really gave them goosebumps.
Compared to Liu Yus side who was picking peas with her dainty fingers, Tuantuan and Lin Yueqi rolled up their sleeves and worked without fuss.
The mother and daughter duo were very familiar with the action of picking vegetables. Tuantuan even taught Lu Ting how to pick vegetables herself.
When Lu Ting identally pinched the wrong part of the pea nt, Lin Yueqi pped the back of his hand. Hey bro, do you really know how to pick vegetables? Otherwise, why dont you go and sit on the ridge like that kid instead?
Lin Yueqi pointed at Ning Tiantian who was sitting on the side.
The Lu Ting who was given the cold shoulder,
After picking vegetables, the two families went into the woods together to hunt.
The staff at the hunting session discouraged them from bringing the kids in, but Ning Tiantian wanted to join no matter what.
Before entering the woods, Lu Ting asked Tuantuan about her opinion. Were about to go hunting for dinner tonight. It might get a little bloody. I dont rmend you go.
Tuantuan crossed her arms and humphed. I dont even know where Papa was when i brought Big Yellow to go hunt wild rabbits!
In the dense forest, a grey rabbit that was eating grass a short distance away still had no idea that it was being stalked.
Ning Tiantian pointed at the grey rabbit and said to Liu Yu, Mama, that bunny is so cute.
Liu Yu looked at Ning Hao. Honey, I think the bunny is cute too. Why dont you go catch it and we can bring it home and raise it?
Tuantuans eyes were like high-tech scanners and had already identified the fattiest parts of the rabbits flesh. She swallowed her saliva and looked up at Lin Yueqi. That rabbit looks cute, Tuantuan wants to eat it.
Liu Yu,
Ning Hao,
Ning Tiantian pursed her lips and pointed at Tuantuan,ining, Lin Tuantuan, youre so cruel! Youre like the old witch from Snow White!
Tuantuan continued to swallow her saliva with her eyes fixed onto the rabbit, unable to move away.
Nobody could prevent her from eating the rabbit.
When Lin Yueqi heard Ning Tiantians words, she took the traditional bow from Lu Tings hand and aimed it right at the rabbit, drawing the bow. Ning Tiantian shouted, Bunny, run!
Her call alerted the grey rabbit and it quickly scurried off.
Lin Yueqi was somewhat confident in her archery skills when it came to still objects, but not with fast-moving live objects. As soon as she put down the bow, Lu Ting grabbed the bow from her hands and drew the bow, shooting the arrow with a woosh.
Thud, the arrowhead pierced the rabbits body.
Ning Tiantian cried. Bunnies are so cute! Why do you have to eat them?! Youre an evil witch! Evil witch!
Lu Ting withdrew the bow and arrows and looked down at Tuantuan. Tuantuan, go and get your prize.
Tuantuan nodded and happily rushed over like a hunting dog.
Lin Yueqi took the rabbit from Tuantuan and weighed it by the ears. Were pretty lucky today, its a nice and fat one. Red braised?
Lu Ting, I propose a stir fry.
Ning Tiantians entire family almost fainted on the spot.
After some thought, Lin Yueqi said, A nice stew with winter melon, then we can call over the other two families and their writers toe join us for dinner.
Reality shows have be prevalent in the past decade. As a result, theizens knew that screenwriters were involved in reality shows like these that focused on recording and editing, and the guests dont shy away from the topic either. If a reality show was popr, then the screenwriters who were there to write for the guests would also gain a small following.
Only live broadcast shows like the Celebrity Exam Competition didnt need any screenwriters. And, those were also the hardest ones to shoot.
The cameraman silently reminded Lin Yueqi. But you guys dont have a writer anymore
Lin Yueqi, Dont family no. 1 and no. 2 still have theirs?
Family no. 2, Shudder.
Is that Lin Yueqi beginning to feel envious about their screenwriters? Is it finally time for her to make a move on their pitiful screenwriter, Jiang Mucheng?
Chapter 125 - A Different Kind of Sweetness (1)
Ch.125 A Different Kind of Sweetness(1)
On the road down the hill, Lu Ting was in charge of carrying the fat girl.
Tuantuan was sitting in Lu Tings basket. She grabbed his shoulders and muttered, Papa, when we go back to the city, use this to carry me to school and to thepany. Tuantuan feels reallyfy in here.
Lin Yueqi, She tried to imagine the scene. Lu Ting wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase with a farmers basket on his back, carrying Tuantuan to work.
The image was too vivid and she couldnt help herself from breaking out inughter.
This time, even Ning Hao from family no. 2 couldnt help himself fromughing out loud. The grandson of the richest man in the country, the only heir to the Lu Group, carrying a child in his back to the office in a bamboo basket? Isnt that a big joke?
Dont even mention him carrying the kid to the office, even him carrying the kid down the hill in the basket now wasedic.
He was a wealthy man after all. In the eyes of theizens, he was an idealistic figure, an overbearing president that was unapproachable. But theizens would never have thought that this Mr. Lus persona wouldpletely crumble in the show. And, his noble temperament waspletely brushed away by the farmerly lin Yueqi and Tuantuan.
He really didnt understand how Lu Ting could have fallen for a vige girl like Lin Yueqi.
Ning Hao looked at the daughter in his arms, then at his lovely wife, and felt deeply that though his family wasnt as wealthy as Lu Tings, he was far superior to him when it came to choosing a wife.
His wife, Liu Yu, is an actress who had be famous from the show, Cindere Spring. His wife, Liu Yu, had always had the silly but sweet persona like in idol dramas, so the audience looked at her as if she was an idol drama heroine. And, after he and his wife got married, they often showered each other with love on their blogs. The audience really felt that this Liu Yu was the female lead of an idol drama. Not only did she have a silly sweet character, the husband she married was just as rich as the rich second generations in those idol dramas.
So, theizens loved this pair very much. With this in mind, Jiang Mucheng set up the plot for family no. 2 to go towards that trope.
The Cindere-type pampered wife x gentle and caring rich second generation is exactly what theizens like. Jiang Mucheng made them show off their love constantly in the show to give out candy to the viewers, which was also very much to the taste of this generations viewers.
Jiang Mucheng had already written down ten names in the Revenge Script, and her idiocy had already increased to ten points. She looked like a very introverted person to begin with, but after 10 points of idiocy, she looked dumber than before.
Everyone in the cast dislikes her and thinks shes weird. Due to the scriptwriter incident, family no. 2 had gotten very concerned about her.
In order to avoid the bad luck of family no. 4, family no. 1 refused family no. 4s invite with the excuse that they cooked dinner. However, as family no. 2 had to do a mission with family no. 4 today, as the screenwriter for family no. 2, Jiang Mucheng could only ept the invitation.
Jiang Mucheng was apprehensive about meeting with the heroine. After all, she had taken her negative career energy without Lin Yueqis consent in order to level up her system.
It was like she would have a guilty conscience every time she used a script stolen from the system, but she couldnt stand the temptation.
She cant wait to see what effects will be produced when family no. 4 ispared to family no. 2. As a variety show lover, Jiang Mucheng knew full well that going without a script would equate to family no. 4 revealing their embarrassing sides to the camera.
Zhao Yuan waspletely done for because of the drug incident. After tasting the wonders of the Revenge Script, Jiang Mucheng wanted more. She knew that there was more than one Zhao Yuan in this world, she wanted more. She wanted to be stronger so that she will no longer be bullied.
After the Revenge Script reaches max level, the system wont need the heroines negative career energy anymore, nor will it increase her idiocy.
At that time, she can use the Revenge Script at will without any side effects.
*
Family no. 2, 3, and 4 gathered at family No. 2s yard.
The children of the three families were ying in the courtyard while the parents cooked in the kitchen.
As soon as Jiang Mucheng came in, Tuantuan rushed in front of her and shouted, Screenwriter Big Sis! You came? You promised to write a script for us, when are you going to write it?
Jiang Mucheng looked at the child in front of her and did not speak.
Ning Tiantian came over and protected Jiang Mucheng behind her overbearingly. Big Sister Cheng is ours, you guys arent allowed to take her!
Chapter 126 - A Different Kind of Sweetness (2)
Ch.126 A Different Kind of Sweetness(2)
Tuantuan saw how aggressive she looked and didnt bother to argue with her. She turned around and waved her hand, Come on, Old Mu! Lets go to the swings!
Whats Old Mu? Even though this bizarre moniker struck Mumu as strange, he quite liked the sound of it.
Doesnt this name make him sound a little more mature?
Ning Tiantian went to pull Mumu, unhappy. She pouted, Big Brother Mumu,e here, I have something secret to tell you.
Mumu shook her hand off. Im not free.
Then, he left her behind and followed Tuantuan to the swings.
Without anyone to y with Ning Tiantian, the little girl turned around and took Jiang Muchengs hand, dragging her to the pond. Sister Cheng, lets not y with them. Lets go fishing!
Once they arrived at the pond, she crouched down with the kid by the edge with their fishing pole with only a cameraman beside them.
She was distracted as if she was thinking about something.
As the bait bobbed down, Ning Tiantian pped her hands and jumped excitedly. The fishy is on the hook! Big Sister Cheng, quickly pull!
The wet grass beneath the childs feet caused her to slip when she jumped, but fortunately, Jiang Mucheng reacted fast and reached out to pull the child back. However, as she tried to grab the child, she identally poked her eye with the fishing pole and slipped herself, falling into the pond with a ssh.
In a fit of confusion, the cameraman yelled that someone had fallen into the water.
At that moment, Lin Yueqi and Lu TIng just happened to have returned from the backyard where they were picking sometro and green onions.
They passed by the pond and saw that someone had fallen in. After struggling a few times, that person went into deep waters. Lin Yueqi cursed and tossed away thetro and green onion in her hands and was about to jump into the pond.
Frowning, Lu Ting pulled her back and jumped in first.
Hearing the ssh, Lin Yueqi yelled, Old Lu! Do you want to fucking die?! You still have a fever!
Lu Ting was happy to hear that. He would like it if he could have a fever for a few more days, and then she and Tuantuan would hold him for a few more days.
Thetro and green onions tossed out by Lin Yueqi fell onto the cameramans head and fell in front of his eyes.
The cameraman caught thetro falling down his head and tried his best to remain smiling. Sister Lin is a ruthless person, no doubt about it.
Jiang Mucheng couldnt swim, and the pond was very deep.
Just as she was about to lose consciousness, she saw someone swimming towards her against the light. The water was cold and piercing, and her sight was growing blurry. Seeing that she was about to lose consciousness, the man carried her with one hand and led her upstream.
The man in front of her was iparably handsome, just like a world-renowned hero who hade down from the clouds. Just at this moment, as a virgin who had never had a boyfriend, Jiang Muchengs maiden heart was attacked.
When they reached the surface of the water, a rescue crew came over to help them. Lu Ting let go over her and swam towards the edge. Jiang Mucheng gasped for air and reached out, wanting to catch hold of Lu Tings clothes, but she was brought to the other side by the staff.
Once they arrived at the edge, the director was almost at tears. Xiao Jiang! Are you alright?
Jiang Mucheng nodded.
The director was relieved. This family no. 4 seriously is fucking amazing. They nearly killed another scriptwriter!
The staff handed over some nkets and wrapped them around Jiang Mucheng and Lu Tings bodies before immediately sending them back into the warm rooms.
After Lu Ting changed his clothes, Lin Yueqi brought a towel over and stood on her tiptoes to wipe his hair for him. The man was too tall so Lin Yueqi was disgruntled. She pped his head and said, Lower your head.
With that p, the man leaned down and lowered his head. In a whisper, he reminded, The cameramen are around, leave me some face.
Lin Yueqi chuckled. Youre not even afraid of dying of high fever and youre afraid of losing face? The rescue crew or I could both have saved her, so why do you have to y the hero? The water is cold, arent you worried youd turn into a fool from your fever?
Lu Ting raised a brow. Are you worried about me?
Bro, theres a limit to narcissism. Lin Yueqi threw the towel over his head and turned around to get a cup of water and the medicine box.
Lu Ting took the towel off his head and put it on his shoulders. Lin Yueqi said, Hands up.
Lu Ting spread his hands up in front of her.
She put the pills on Lu Tings palm and counted them with her fingers. Theres eight here, swallow it in one go.
Chapter 127 - A Different Kind of Sweetness (3)
Ch.127 A Different Kind of Sweetness(3)
Recalling the bitter taste of the medicine, Lu Ting frowned again. However, thinking of the violent way which Lin Yueqi force-fed him the medicine, he decided to submit under her authority and swallowed them all in one go.
Looking at his aggrieved appearance, the cameramen actually felt that this pair hada different sort of sweetness? What a bizarre delusion.
*
Inside the warm room, Jiang Mucheng who had already changed her clothes sneezed. She sat by the fire in a daze and a bunch of images were constantly shing through her mind.
At this moment, the systems ding sounded in her ears.
Very quickly, aptop appeared on herp. She opened herptop and heard a prompt only she could hear. System reminder: You can use this incident to ruin Lin Yueqis reputation.
As soon as the prompt ended, a private message interface for Weibos gossip section appeared on theputer screen. The text in the dialogue box had already been written by the system.
Hello, Xiaoba, Im one of the staff members of Sweet Family Trip and Ive got some material. Help me censor my name. Lin Yueqi was unhappy with the writers of the crew and changed them out. In the end, no screenwriters were willing to write for them(1000 words omitted in the center). Lin Yueqi must have gotten anxious so she created a scene where one of the staff fell into the water so she could go down and save them. However, the staff couldnt swim at all. She actually encouraged Liu Yus daughter to push down that staff member and that person nearly died. Also, the one who jumped down to save the staff wasnt her. It was Lu Ting. Lin Yueqi is too much. I really dont understand why anyone could like this actress. Inparison, I prefer Liu Yu and Ning Haos group. Theyre like a couple that only appears on TV. Its romantic.
After reading what Revenge Script wrote, the image of Lu Ting saving her appeared in Jiang Muchengs head.
The system seemed to know what she was thinking and scoffed. Heh, youre a pitiful character. Your existence is only topliment the perfect personalities of the main cast. In the eyes of Lu Ting, the male lead, youre just a small screenwriter. Youre nothing. He only has Lin Yueqi in his eyes. This world isnt fair. Why can Lin Yueqi be the heroine while youre the supporting female character? Think about how powerful you could be if you leveled up your script. When the timees, the world will be all yours, and the leading man, Lu Ting, will also fall for you.
As she frowned, a set of options appeared on the screen.
Would you like to send the message?
Yes.
No.
Jiang Mucheng bit her lips and held her chest with her hands. For some reason, she could feel a dull pain there.
After a moment of hesitation, she nodded and picked Yes.
*
Two dayster, the first episode of Sweet Family Trips recording ended. As soon as Lin Yueqi returned to A City, Xiao Ke called her urgently to ask, You didnt have any writers for your script in the first episode of the recording?
Lin Yueqi had just arrived at her door and was holding her luggage with one hand and the phone with the other. Yeah, whats up?
Xiao Ke, Quick, check Weibo.
Lin Yueqi hung up and opened Weibo.
Seeing the top searches on Weibo, she saw her name there.
#Lin Yueqi endangering peoples lives just to y hero#
#Poison Empress Lin Yueqi, killing a childs pet#
The first topic was an usation that Lin Yueqi pushed a staff member into the water just so she could act like a hero, and the second uses Lin Yueqi of shooting Ning Tiantians pet rabbit, causing great psychological impact on the little girl.
The first episode was still being edited and post-production would take at least a week. However, under the second topic, someone linked a video of Lin Yueqi shooting the rabbit.
In the video, Lin Yueqi could be seen drawing her bow at a rabbit. However, Ning Tiantian who was standing at the side yelled, Bunny, run!.
Lin Yueqi ignored the childs attempt to stop her and shot the arrow.
The video ended at the childs scream. Someonemented:
Lin Yueqi is so possessive, killing a childs beloved rabbit in front of them. Doesnt she know that this will traumatize the child? Shes a mother herself but shes still so narrow-minded. I really dont understand how someone like this is fit to be a mother.
Im a staff member of the crew. Even though Im not in charge of Lin Yueqi and her family, Ive still seen the first-day recording. What can I say about Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting? This pair is so awkward. I hope you guys are prepared for it. Being on the same show, the two of them didnt even hold hands. They dont look like a couple at all. They looked like they were just putting up with each other. Also, its clear everyone else doesnt like Lin Yueqi either. Her personalitys too nd. It seems like theres nothing interesting about her except for her kid. Lin Yueqi shouldnt have participated in a show like this, its an eyesore for the audience. Also! Lin Yueqi is 75 kilos, she looks just like a pig in front of the camera hahahahaha.
Chapter 128 - She’s Not My Wife (1)
Ch.128 Shes Not My Wife(1)
Even if there were people feeding the news, there were someizens watching the show who could tell something was off.
More Lin Yueqi scandals? You got anything else? Why dont you just post them all at once? I really dont understand. Lin Yueqis trying to do her own thing, what did she ever do to you people? Does she deserve this?
+1, so what if shes 75 kilos? Are these haters stupid? Lin Yueqi gained weight because of Fat Girl Mama, the shooting hasnt begun yet so of course shes going to keep the weight. These haters are so disgusting, are they seriously going toin about someones weight? I think youre the damn pigs here. Do we seriously have to wait for the day when all the good actors are dead in the industry before you guys can shut up?
LOLOLOLOL seriously, Im gonna dieughing from these so-called scoops. I really want to know, who on earth is hating on Lin Yueqi? Whys there constantly material on her? As a passerby, I seriously dont wanna see any news about her anymore. Im seriously done. Please stop pushing news about her onto my front page anymore, OK? I could puke just by looking at her name now!
+10086, the passersby really dont care to stop talking about her. We can already guess Lin Yueqis marketing routine. First the scandals, then the cleanse. The more badly she gets scolded the more fans she gets during the cleanse. To tell you the truth, if Lin Yueqi doesnt push out anymore works, then stop being in the circle. Just go back and take care of your kid, heh.
We passersby really dont care about this womans life anymore so stop pushing this shit. Also, I dont think that couple is sweet at all, it just makes me sick when I see idol drama couples showing off their love. Also, I really dont know whats up with theizens these days. Is it really something to brag about that a reality show has screenwriters? If Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting really dont have a screenwriter, then Ill still stan them. Though, I dont watch this reality show crap either. Hmmmm
Wow, how dare you talk about my HaoYu ship like that, poster upstairs? What right do you have to say that about my HaoYu ship?
It was supposed to be a topic talking bad about Lin Yueqi, but unexpectedly, it became a war between passersby and Ning Hao Liu Yu fans.
Even though someone was actively leading the topic, the passersby had already seen enough of stuff like this and also noticed something off about it. They kept thinking that its just an alternative way for a celebrity to amass hype.
Lin Yueqi endangering a persons life was just an anonymous contribution by one of the staff members. Its hard for this to convince anyone.
Adding to the fact that Lin Yueqis recent scandal had just passed, theizens were already immune to news like these.
After all, you can only cry wolf three times. If you say it too much, people are going to question it.
Even though the second scandal topic had a video, nobody knew what the ending of the video was. And, with Ning Tiantian being YuHao Couples daughter, the topic changed direction.
In thest topic, YuHao Couples fans and the passersby ended up in a fight and the passersby werent easy to deal with either. They who did not stand on either side expressed their grievances: Why do you YuHao Couple fans have to hate us passersby this way?
The two sides dragged the fight from the first topic to the second one.
Even though some people were desperately trying to drag the topic back on track to ndering Lin YUeqi, they were quickly silenced by the fight on both sides.
After seeing the online war, Lin Yueqi was dumbfounded. ?? But this doesnt really seem to have much to do with her? It seems like its just fans and other people getting into a fight?
Even though shes only 17 years old in her memories, she still got to interact with the entertainment circle after her time with Qin Xue. Celebrities arent money, so any celebrity was prone to getting ndered. The question was whether people will believe it.
Though its clear that the two topics were being manipted, there werent manyizens who believed them. On the contrary, its because of the fight between the passersby and the HaoYu Couple fans that Liu Yu and Ning Haos reputation was ruined instead.

Lin Yueqi went upstairs to wash up while Tuantuan went into the kitchen to watch Grandma Lin Yu cook.
Meanwhile, Lu Ting was on the sofa, chatting with Li Xing.
Chapter 129 - She’s Not My Wife (2)
Ch.129 Shes Not My Wife(2)
Li Xing, Old Lu, your Qiqis really prone to getting scandalized. How are there so many haters after her? And theyre really bad at it. Its like theyre all mentally stunted. Ive already arranged for people to prime the war under the two topics and seeded in shifting their target to Liu Yu and Ning Hao instead. Im curious though, did Ning Hao and Liu Yu offend you guys?
Lu Ting did not deny it.
Li Xing said, That shouldnt be though. Ning Haos a smart man, how could he just provoke a fight like that? Forget it, I know you wont say anything.
Ning Hao wasnt intentionally picking a fight, but they were doing it secretly as a couple. That girl, Ning Tiantian, what she said about Tuantuan being a mountain chick was clearly something her unreliable parents taught her.
He holds onto his grudges. He wont show it on the show, but that doesnt mean hes forgotten.
Li Xing sent him a raised eyebrow emoticon and asked, So how was it? You got anything out of the trip?
Lu Ting thought about it and nodded. Yeah.
Li Xing was excited. He asked, Anything you cant describe?
Lu Ting,
Li Xing, Holy shit, what do you mean by these dots?
Lu Ting, Can your mind get any dirtier than this?
Li Xing sent him an eye-roll emoji. Heh, I didnt see you being any purer when you slept with thess. I thought you were an old virgin, but you can be quite the passionate type, huh?
Lu Ting sent him a smiling emoticon, causing Li Xing to shrink his shoulders in fear and immediately surrendered. Okay okay, it was my mistake, I swear on it. Your smile nearly made me wet my pants. Right, its my birthday next Monday, dont forget. Last year and the year before that you kept saying you were busy on my birthday, but you have toe this year, alright? Bring your baby girl and your wifey over too! Let your brother show you guys a good time.
Lu Ting corrected him, Shes not my wife.
Li Xing seemed to be able to sense the grievances and the helplessness in his text, and felt how pitiful he was
Li Xing, This mans the whole overbearing president package, so whys he so miserable when ites to getting a girl?
*
During dinner, Lin Yu prepared a table full of food.
Lin Yus cooking was top notch. Lu Ting even felt that her skills wereparable to that of a Michelin chef. However, the food that Auntie cooks is more homely and nutritious. Since the girl likes meat, Auntie would slightly work the meat a bit and pair it with vegetables so that the vegetables would taste more vorful than the meat.
The reason why Tuantuan is a foodie definitely had to be linked to Lin Yu.
Recently, Lin Yu found herself a job at a restaurant and also learned how to use a phone. She saw thements of the people who were ndering Lin Yueqi on the inte and she felt very bad about it. She said, Qiqi, if youre not happy as an actress juste home. Auntie will take care of you.
Recently, Xiao Ke helped Lin Yueqi find a good store and also helped her renovate it. Yueqi Supermarket was opening soon, and with the flow of traffic, business was sure to not be bad.
Even though Lin Yueqi didnt really like the atmosphere of the showbiz industry, she had to rely on her positive career energy in the showbiz industry topete with the Revenge Script.
Also, she really did like Fat Girl Mama. She really, truly, wanted to act in the movie.
Before going to record the reality show, she thought it would just be a few celebrity families eating and drinking together, that things would be carefree. She would never have thought that things would get political. The families and even the kids werepeting.
Lin Yueqi knew that her aunt was worried about her. While getting rice, she said, Auntie, were stars in the entertainment industry, so how can we avoid scandals? But dont worry, your Qiqi is just fine. Once Qiqi earns more money, shell retire from the circle.
Lu Ting had no idea what Lin Yueqi was thinking.
Doesnt he earn enough? Wouldnt she get money if she just marries him?
Lu Ting felt that he would never again meet someone as unpretentious and ungreedy for his money in his life. As a rich second generation, he felt that a girl like Lin Yueqi was the ultimate match for him.
Lin Yu sighed. Watching her niece work so hard, she decided that she has to work hard to earn money. To her, age wasnt a problem.
Chapter 130 - She’s Not My Wife (3)
Ch.130 Shes Not My Wife(3)
As long as she had the heart to learn, shell eventually be able to be a renowned chef one day.

A weekter, the first episode of Sweet Family Trip was aired. The first fifteen minutes were the footage recorded on the first day.
There were a total of four families. Family no. 1 is were straight and narrow and hadpletely no presence.
Family no. 2, Liu Yu and Ning Hao is as they are said to be on Weibo. They went for the idol drama trope. When theizens saw their clips, they immediately postedments:
My god, my Yuyu is so sweet! Little Princess Tiantian is so soft and sweet too. My heart could melt when I see her cry! Ning Hao is amazing, hes tall rich handsome, and super gentle too. The way he holds his child is so sweet!
Ning Hao really spoils his wife with his ability! Thank you Mr. Ning for allowing our Yuyu to live life as a real-life Cindere.
Liu Yu is seriously so endearing. I think Id be grossed out if anyone were to act spoiled like her. But Liu Yu was born this way and with that voice. Thats so wonderful. If I were her husband, wouldnt I be happy enough to die with a gentle wife like her?
Ning Tiantian is so moe!! Just like her mother, theyre both so tender!
Family no. 3s Song Renze and Mumu, the father and son pair have participated in simr reality TV shows, and with Mother Mumus housewife skills at full, they were really an impable family.
With the previous three families as aparison, the fourth family of guests felt a bit weird to people. However, though theizens thought no. 4 were a bit awkward at first, when they saw the director burst in while no. 4 eating at the central room, telling them that something had happened to the writers.
This was followed by the footage of Tuantuan and Mumu sitting together and talking about their dreams.
The awkwardness of the couple was buffered by this scene.
Hahahahahaha, my god, what the hell, he won five million so he has to go home and inherit the family business? Hahahahahaha, is family no. 4 the devil?
Isnt the one with the baby even funnier? Hahahahahaha, are they wish-granting spirits or something?
My god, Tuantuan is too cute hahahaha, Tuantuan and Mumu are such a cute pair. This old auntie demands the two of you marry when you grow up! Im seriously getting invested in these two!
Theizens went on to watch theter scenes.
When they saw Lin Yueqi feeding Lu Ting medicine and then going up the hill with family no. 4, with Ning Tiantian saying that Tuantuan was a mountain chick.
Then, theizens saw the cause and effect of the rabbit shooting scene.
The enthusiasm of the passers-by and fans of Liu Yu Ning Hao had not faded from the other day. Now that this episode was broadcast, the impression theizens had on Liu Yu Ning Hao Couple was greatly reduced.
Ummmmm, a few days ago when someone deliberately tried to drag Lin Yueqi, I said that something was definitely off, but I didnt think I was right. That said, I can let a kid off the hook as an adult, but if a little kid called my daughter a mountain chick, I wouldve been a saint just for not pping them. Its normal to shoot rabbits too since Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi are bringing it back to eat. Family no. 2 are clearly throwing a fit. Theres nothing wrong with standing up for your child.
Ning Tiantian looks so sweet, how could she say such a thing? Did her parents teach her that? Also, why do I suddenly feel disgusted that they said that bunnies are cute and why they have to eat them? Its so pretentiousTheres no hurt withoutparisons but now, I like family no. 4 more. Lin Yueqi is more realistic and Lu Ting is also proud. Tuantuan is such a sensible and good girl.
Tuantuan is really sensible to the point where its heartbreaking QAQ. She was called a pheasant and she actuallyforted herself by saying that pheasants are more resilient than phoenixes. Tuantuan is so cute
Am I the only one that thinks that the part with Big Boss Lu carrying little Tuantuan down the hill with a basket is super cute?
Hahahaha, lets crowdfund to buy Big Boss Lu a basket! Then he can carry it to work every day in his suit. LMAO
Due to the incident two days ago where family no. 2s fans and passersby were fighting, family no. 4s down-to-earth style and no. 2s idol drama style was immediatelypared after the show aired.
Chapter 131 - She’s Not My Wife (4)
Ch.131 Shes Not My Wife(4)
Someizens even spected that those two blog posts were posted by family no. 2.
After the first episode was broadcast, many fans fell in love with Tuantuan, and also with Lu Ting and Lin Yueqis realistic interactions. What kind of real couple would constantly be kissing each other and holding hands at every turn anyway?
On the other hand, Lu Ting was constantly watching after Lin Yueqi, whether intentionally or not, and always let her have her way. This poked at the audiences hearts even more.
The fans believed that Lu Ting, as a second-generation billionaire, cant stand adversity. After all, he was raised with the best since he was young. But in front of Lin Yueqi and his daughter, he waspletely at their beck and call.
When Lin Yueqi told him to carry the basket, his eyes may have shown that he didnt like it, but he didnt say a single word.
His daughter liked being carried on his back, and he didnt evenin. He put down his pride as an overbearing president and immediately carried his daughter in the basket.
Netizens, Who said Lu Ting doesnt like Lin Yueqi? Get the hell out of here! I just had two handfuls of dog food shoved down my throat!
Very soon, a chibi Lu Ting fanart ended up on the front page.
The chibi overbearing president Lu Ting had an aloof expression, wearing a suit with his hands in his pockets. However, he was carrying a basket on his back with a chubby little girl sucking on a pacifier.
The three of them were constantly being featured in the fanart. Since Lu Ting didnt talk much on the show, the blogs writing about his inner thoughts were also endless.
Due to the chibi fanart and the video clips, they constantly showed up on the front page. It caused theizens who said theyd never watch the show even if they die to watch the clips out of curiosity. In the end, they all ran off to watch the full episode.
Theizens from a few days ago, Lin Yueqi again? Arent you guys sick of this? Can you stop shoving her onto my front page? I dont care if its a scandal or a tribute, please stop it! I dont fucking want to see her on my front page ever again, even if I have to poke my eyes out!
Theizens a few dayster, Has Lin Yueqis character always been so direct? No wonder she gets so much hate. And Big Boss Lu is actually the submissive type? Damn, Tuantuan is so cute. Ahhhh, Tuantuan, Auntie has a son about the same age as you, I wonder if youll be interested in him? Damn you, Lin Yueqi! Why do you have such a lovely daughter!
Damn good!
Just as they were getting red-hot on the inte, the family of three werepletely oblivious as they arrived in front of a karaoke bar.
Today was Li Xings birthday, and he was hosting a party here tonight, inviting a lot of people.
Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi took the elevator up to the third floor while holding one each of that chubby hand.
The third floor was set up as a big buffet restaurant with all kinds of food. As soon as they entered, they saw Song Renzes family, and Mumu also saw Tuantuan, waving at her.
Before Mumu could call out to her, the little girl waddled over by herself.
Lin Yueqi was pulled aside by Mother Mumu for some small talk while Lu Ting stood with Song Renze, chatting.
Lu Ting swept his eyes around the area and his eyes stopped on Li Xing who was standing a few meters away.
The two seemed to have a telepathicmunication and they looked at each other. Li Xing walked over to Lu Ting with a girl and he held out his ss to clink sses with him. Old Lu, youve been looking thin. I heard you got sick during the show? You feel better yet?
Lu Ting noticed the girl by Li Xings side and he looked at her.
Jiang Mucheng purposefully wore a strapless aqua dress. She took off her thick, ck-rimmed sses and swapped them out for contacts. She had a dull-looking expression but her outfit looked pure and lovely. Just one look and you could tell she was a young girl who was sheltered from the world.
Li Xing introduced, This is a screenwriter from ourpany. The girls still young and already very talented, but shes just a bit introverted. So, I decided to take her out for a bit.
Chapter 132 - She’s Not My Wife (5)
Ch.132 Shes Not My Wife(5)
Just as that moment, the phone in Li Xings pocket rang. He took out his phone and said to Lu Ting, Wait for me, buddy. Ive gotta take this call.
When Li Xing left, Jiang Mucheng raised her ss shyly to clink sses with Lu Ting. NiceNice to meet you, Mr. Lu.
Just as she was about to clink sses with Lu Ting, Lu Ting suddenly moved his ss to his mouth, and she missed.
Lu Ting gave her a slight nod as a gesture of politeness.
Jiang Mucheng blushed and it took her a while to say the words in her heart. Mr. Lu, do you still remember me?
Sorry, I dont recognize the faces of girls other than my girlfriend and my wife.
Jiang Mucheng was stunned. After swallowing her saliva, she said, I-Im the girl you sa ved.
Before she could even finish speaking, Lu Ting turned around and left towards Lin Yueqis direction.
Jiang Mucheng clutched the wine ss. She felt bad. Especially when she saw Lu Ting lean down and speak close by Lin Yueqis ear, she felt terrible.
This was the first time she had a crush on another man, but he never had his eyes on her at all.
She lowered her head and rubbed her slightly hot eyes. Just as she was about to cry, someone passed her a handkerchief and said in a gentle voice, Whats wrong? Not used to these asions?
The girl stared at the handkerchief in front of her, startled. She looked up and saw that it was Li Xing. That was clearly out of her expectations. She took the handkerchief and wiped her eyes, then said softly, Im a bit scared of these events
Li Xing was brought toughter by this simple young girl. Whats so scary about this? Dont worry, your boss is here with you. Whos gonna dare bully you? Talented people wont be left aside so dont worry, your boss will cover for you in the future.
With her harmless appearance, Jiang Mucheng said in a matching, soft voice almost as quiet as a mosquito, Re-Really?
As she said that, a pool of tears welled up in her eyes.
Jiang Mucheng didnt expect that anyone would like her dim-wittedness. Even though some wont like her for it, some will. For example, her boss, Li Xing, seemed to like her dim-wittedness very much.
He had already said many times that she was silly in a cute way.
Li Xing has been in the entertainment industry for a long time and was sick of dealing with ambitious people. However, he appreciated a pure girl like Jiang Mucheng that can be seen through at a nce and had good talent.
At the same time, the sound of the system sounded in her ears. There seemed to be a sense of disappointment and helplessness in that voice. Did you see that? This is what happens when youre too soft. You let her daughter go, but they arent even grateful. Lu Ting doesnt even remember who you are. Why can Lin Yueqi seed in the industry but not you? Why does she get to give Lu TIng a baby but not you? Look at yourself. Look how pretty you are when you dress up. He just doesnt know what hes missing. You can make yourself stronger, bekacha kacha kacha kachaBark bark bark bark!
Before the system could finish speaking, it was suddenly attacked by Lin Yueqis positive career energy, sending it into disarray. This was also the first wave of intense attacks that the Revenge Script system had ever encountered.
Jiang Mucheng, ??
Revenge Script system, Bark bark bark bark, bark bark bark bark!
Revenge Script system,
Jiang Mucheng still had no idea what was happening when the systems voice ended abruptly. Immediately after that, a line of words appeared in front of her eyes.
The system is under attack from positive energy, the system is under paralysis, the system is under paralysis. The host will also be affected. You will be stupid for ten seconds.
Li Xing was wondering if he should ask this silly girl in front of him out for dinner along tomorrow, and for a movie too. Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly tilted her head and her face began to twitch. She was even drooling, bing a bonafide fool.
Li Xing was so shocked that he stepped back. Damn
What on earth is this?
Jiang Mucheng giggled like a fool at him and tugged on his tie, pouting her lips as if to kiss him, Brother, youre so handsome
Li Xing was so frightened by the suddenly triggered Jiang Mucheng that he recoiled. ????
The author has something to say:
Jiang Mucheng, I heard you think Im cute? Me too!
Li Xing,
Chapter 133 - Persevere, and Persevere More (1)
Ch.133 Persevere, and Persevere More(1)
A minute ago.
Lu Ting went back to Lin Yueqis side with his phone and looked through the good review on the.
She didnt expect much from the reality show with Jiang Mucheng messing up the show, so she was surprised at how much good praise they got on the inte.
Especially the chibi art. Even though she didnt have as many fanart drawn of her as Tuantuan and her dad, she still got some praise. Her standing up for her daughter and shooting the rabbit got her the Daughter Loving Demon nickname. However, when the fat girl wanted her papa to carry her, and she told her to take note of her fathers illness, telling her to climb out of the basket on her own earned her the Serious Mother nickname.
There were four families.
The wife of family no. 1 is gentle and virtuous; family no. 2 is an idol-like sweetheart; family no. 3 is a good housewife. Only family no. 4s Lin Yueqi is the most different from the rest.
So, the one that stood out the most is Lin Yueqi. With just a bit of help from Jiachen media, she managed to garner countless praises and her fans rose by one million.
It was precisely because of this sudden surge of praise and fans that Lin Yueqis positive career energy skyrocketed. Following that, she saw themotion triggered by Jiang Mucheng not far away.
Jiang Mucheng had suddenly turned silly as if she has cerebral palsy. Just a while ago Li Xing was still thinking, Damn, this silly little girl is so cute, but now he was so scared he could piss himself.
He didnt expect that the girl would turn into an actual fool just like that.
He was forced back by the drooling Jiang Mucheng and his waist hit the table behind him, causing the wine ss behind him to sway and fall to the grown in a loud crash. This caused a slightlyrgemotion that spread through the banquet hall.
When they heard the noise, the people around them turned to look.
Then, they saw a girl pulling on Li Xings tie, pouting her lips as if to kiss him like a drunken witch. The security guards on the site didnt know whether they should go over or not. After all, this was someone President Li brought with him, and the girl was with himst night too. Who knows if theyre just flirting with each other?
Ten seconds passed, and Jiang Mucheng was shocked silly by her own actions. She quickly released Li Xing and covered her mouth, looking around her with a frightened face.
The people around her all cast their shocked gazes at her. From their eyes, Jiang Mucheng saw horror, contempt, and disgust.
Realizing that she had lost herself, she took out a handkerchief from her bag to wipe her mouth. When she looked up at Li Xing, the man was still leaning against the table, looking at her in disbelief. Only then did Jiang Mucheng realize how embarrassing she had been tonight. She could even imagine how this man wouldugh at her inside.
It was as if she could hear the revulsion from the crowd surrounding herl.
Her eyes fell on Lin Yueqi and Lu Tings side. They were looking at her like she was invisible, and she could almost hear Lin Yueqi saying you deserve it, as if she could see Lu Ting sneering.
At this moment, everyone around her felt like they were devils,ughing at her. Her face was pale and she covered her ears, running out of the banquet in her thin heels.
After Jiang Mucheng left, Tuantuan tugged on Lin Yueqis dress, saying quietly, Mama, what happened to the big sister? That was so scary, Tuantuan is a little worried about her.
What Jiang Mucheng did just now was abnormal. It looked like she was drunk, and yet it was different. Lin Yueqi quickly thought of the problem. It must have been the punishment Jiang Mucheng received from the Revenge Script because of the wave of praise.
Lin Yueqi recalled the bluff that the Revenge Script had once given her and couldnt help but suspect that Revenge Script would also brainwash Jiang Mucheng in the same way.
Taking advantage of a humans weakness, Jiang Muchengs anger, inferiority, and begrudging envy.
Lin Yueqi shoved the phone back into Lu Tings hands and frowned. Wait here with Tuantuan, Im going to check on her.
Lu Ting reached out to pull her and frowned.
Chapter 134 - Persevere, and Persevere More (2)
Ch.134 Persevere, and Persevere More(2)
Its not considered business, Im just going to take a look and Ill be back. Lin Yueqi pulled her hand back and chased after her.
Meanwhile, Li Xing was still stunned on the spot. His friends around him were already wagging their tongues.
President Li, dont let it bother you too much. Shes probably just drunk and couldnt control herself.
How can girls in this generation misuse alcohol this way? Are you alright, President Li?
That girl was twisting her neck and drooling, she looked like she was having a stroke. Most importantly, are you alright, President Li?
The crowd was eagerly questioning Li Xing. Taking Tuantuans hand, Lu Ting walked into the crowd. Lu Ting and the girl came over and their aura was powerfully crushing. Sensibly, the crowd opened up a path for them and scattered.
When only Lu Ting, Li Xing, and Tuantuan were left, Li Xing grabbed Lu Tings hand. Fuck, Old Lu! I nearly died of shock!
Lu Ting asked, What happened just now?
Li Xing thought back to what happened earlier and he could guarantee that she wasnt drunk. As he recalled, his heart began to palpitate. I cant tell you clearly, but I suspect that that little screenwriters sick. That was so scary, and here I thought she was talented and cute, but nowHoly shit, Im really shocked.
He held his heart that was beating hard. He almost wet himself from shock.
Li Xing waved his hand and said, Sure enough, talented people all have their peculiarities. I thought she was just the silly sweetheart type, but shes just silly. God sure is fair, huh? God gave her talent, but he didnt give her a normal personality.
Lu Ting could get the gist from what he said. You like her?
No! Not at all!
Tuantuan jabbed Li Xings knee with her short and stubby finger. You do, Uncle Li! Is it so hard to admit that you like Screenwriter Big Sis
Under the serious gazes of the two, Li Xing let out his breath and said, Alright, I admit it. I admired her, and also wanted to get a little closer to her. But I thought she was just a normal person who was a little bit introverted. I never thoughtForget it, lets not talk about it. I just dont get it, as worlds no. 1 stiffest guy, youve got wife and kids, so howe a good, lively and cute handsome man like me cant get a nice girl?
Tuantuan got goosebumps. She shrugged and scowled. Uncle Li, youre not cute at all. You should chase after her like Mama and see whats wrong with Screenwriter Big Sis. Youre not gentlemanly at all, and youre not cute!
Being taught how to behave by a child made Li Xing a little embarrassed. Its reasonable to say that he should have been more gentlemanly and went after her to see what was wrong. But he really did get quite a shock earlier, so much so that all the good impression he had of her was all gone.
For a moment, he couldnt calm down.
*
Spring was just starting and the night was as biting cold as winter.
Jiang Mucheng was wearing a dress, shivering by the side of the road with cold. She sat down by the road and hugged her knees, burying her face down and crying out in pain.
The street lights left long shadows beneath her. The dim light fell on her slim, frail body, making her look even thinner. She was like the little match girl, enjoying the feeling of being isted from the world in the biting cold wind.
Still to this day, she had no idea what was wrong with her. With the brainwashing of the system, she felt like she was taking everything for granted. She felt that the word despised her and that she would never get what she wanted in life. God wasnt fair, she would never be lucky.
Just when she was at her most isted and helpless state, someone suddenly covered her with a down jacket, and her cold body was immediately saved.
Before she could even turn to see who it was, the person pressed on her shoulder and sat down next to her.
She didnt care at all that the floor was cold, let alone dusty.
Lin Yueqi was wearing a very simple white dress with Lu Tings ck jacket over it. She wrapped the jacket tightly around herself and shivered. Why are you sitting here? Arent you cold?
Chapter 135 - Persevere, and Persevere More (3)
Ch.135 Persevere, and Persevere More(3)
Jiang Mucheng turned her head around to look at her, eyes welling with tears.
She wanted to cry but she couldnt. Her heart was filled with envy at the woman in front of her. Why does everything go so well for her, And why does she have to work so hard but is constantly being suppressed, and even having the fruits of herbor used for the gains of others?
Why is it that she can so easily win Lu Tings affection, but she couldnt even get a second nce from him, and even had her stupidity exposed in front of him?
When she thought of what happened at the banquet hall, and the way Lu Ting looked at her, her heart throbbed harder and harder in pain.
Why did Lin Yueqie here? To show off?
The wind was chilly. Lin Yueqi rubbed her bare ankles and then her hands, saying, I saw what happened at the banquet hall just now so I came to check up on you.
Of course, that was just an excuse.
She knew about Jiang Muchengs past. If she really was led astray by the system, then she may be able to persuade her to mend her ways before she makes a huge mistake.
In a way, she could understand how a persons heart could waver when they arrive at a desperate situation.
There was a look of hatred in Jiang Muchengs eyes that she didnt even bother to conceal. Did youe tough at me? Youre here tough at me for being crazy, arent you?
Sorry, but thats not my intention. I thought you were drunk. Lin Yueqi was worried that she hade too abruptly and tossed the bomb to Tuantuan instead. She said, Its that little girl Tuantuan who told me toe see you. She said that she was your friend. I couldnt bear to refuse her so I came to see you.
Jiang Mucheng was stunned. F-Friend?
She thought back to that night when the fat girl helped her up and stuck a cute bear bandaid on her hand.
The girl asked her to write a script for family no. 4. She did not ept ir, nor did she refuse. Even after the show was over, she never bothered to write a script for them.
She thought that the little girl had already forgotten about her. No matter what, Jiang Mucheng never expected that the little girl would actually take her as afriend. And she even told her mother toe see her.
For someone like Jiang Mucheng who was wallowing in self-pity, it was easy for her to interpret anyones words as extremely malicious, but it was also easy for her to appreciate genuine kindness directed at her.
She was extremely conflicted.
Seeing her in a daze, Lin Yueqi held her hand and felt her warmth. Wow, youre freezing! Theres a milk tea shop over there, why dont we go inside? I seemed to have a bit too much to drink so itll be just nice to go freshen up a bit.
Jiang Mucheng kept to herself, but Lin Yueqi forcefully pulled her from the ground and dragged her to the milk tea shop.
The milk tea shop was not big with only six tables inside, and the owner was a young girl.
There was also a deep fryer on the counter inside the milk tea shop. Several skewers of pork tenderloin and sausages were on the oil filter rack. Lin Yueqi was worried that Jiang Mucheng would run away when she wasnt looking, so she held her hand the whole time.
With her other hand, she pointed to the milk tea on the sign and said, Boss, one original Milk Tea and two skewers of pork tenderloin and one sausage. More chili please, thank you! What about you? What do you want to drink?
After Lin Yueqi was done ordering, she turned to ask.
Jiang Mucheng looked at her with a strange look as if she was a strange creature.
Clearly, the boss was also stunned as she looked at Lin Yueqi. She eximed, Are you Lin Yueqi?
Haha, youre a joker, boss. Is Lin Yueqi as pretty as this? More chili please, Boss. Dont think you can try to pull a fast one on me just because I look like Lin Yueqi!
The bossughed and while she had some free time while frying the food, she immediately went to close the door.
Chapter 136 - Persevere, and Persevere More (4)
Ch.136 Persevere, and Persevere More(4)
After all, a big star was here. She couldnt afford to let idlers in. She had to take this opportunity to take a few pictures with Lin Yueqi and hang them up in the shop to advertise!
The owner returned to the counter and asked the quiet Jiang Mucheng, What would you like, miss?
After pausing for a few seconds, Jiang Mucheng said quietly, Same as her.
Alright, please take a seat. Itll be ready soon!
Lin Yueqi pulled Jiang Mucheng to sit down by the window and rubbed her hands. Wow, its warm in here.
As soon as their food was served up, Lin Yueqi couldnt wait to stuff her mouth. As if she was tasting something divine, she looked satisfied. This is so good! It tastes exactly the same as the pork tenderloin back in my schools snack shop!
Jiang Mucheng was shocked. She never thought that a big star like Lin Yueqi would actually act like a high school student without any idol baggage.
As Lin Yueqi sucked on her milk tea, she asked despite already knowing the answer, So, your name is Jiang Mucheng, right? I was watching the news between you and Zhao Yuan back then on Weibo when he infringed upon your content. Even though everyone called you a scammer and an idiot, I believed you. If I were an ordinary person, I wouldve reblogged it to help you. But you know how it is, as celebrities, our Weibos are controlled by a team. We couldnt do as we pleased.
Jiang Mucheng feltplicated. Youknow about me?
Lin Yueqi nodded. I do. But now I see you got over that and even got into Jiachen. Im quite happy for you. The world is far, it wont fail talented people.
Jiang Mucheng felt like she was being stabbed in the heart with a knife.
She didnt enter Jiachen because of her talent, she stole from other people with her system. Thats how she got in.
Lin Yueqi continued to say, Dont let what they write on the inte bother you. The inte may have brought people closer together, but that doesnt mean those keyboard warriors have the right to start a crusade on you. For a person to be a hideous trash talker only means that theyrecking in education. Theyre vitriolic on the and theyll tell people to die with their keyboards. Their malice is bound to affect their lives. These people dont live as well a life as theyd like so they harbor negative energy that they toss onto the inte in an attempt to make others like them. If youre unhappy about it, or if you feel like youre getting caught up in negativity, youre just doing what they want.
Each and every one of her words pierced through her without a pause, opening a bloody hole in Jiang Muchengs heart.
Those online keyboard warriors have gotten their way. The old her was dead.
The her right now had be what she once hated.
Jiang Mucheng clenched her fists and her eyes became bloodshot. In a quiet voice, she said, What do you knowYou dont understand the pain of inferior people like us. You make it sound easy, but when youre really in the same spot as us, do you think you can still say that? I dont have parents. My rural grandmother put me into college and I wanted to give her a good futureBut some people just want to take that away from me. Youre a big star, and you have a rich boyfriend, even a smart daughter. You have no want for money, youck nothing. You wouldnt understand
Wow, that makes me sad, you know? Didnt you see the news when they tried to dig up my past? Lin Yueqi continued sucking on her milk tea. While chewing on the pearls, she said, Im an orphan. My aunt raised me. Since we were poor, I always felt very inferior in school. The other girls had pretty shoes, but I was wearing cloth shoes that my aunt patched up over and over again. In middle school, I had a change of heart. My ssmates would go to the snack shop as soon as ss was over, but I dont have money. I always smelled those spicy snack sticks in ss and I would think, it would be nice if I had moneyWhen I graduated from junior high, I didnt want to go to school anymore. I wanted to work in a factory so I could make the money, buy the snacks I wanted. My aunt beat me good so that I would never lose my way.
Chapter 137 - Persevere, and Persevere More (5)
Ch.137 Persevere, and Persevere More(5)
I went into the best senior high school in Shuchuan. The tuition fee was a few thousand each year. What if I couldnt afford it? I just stood outside of the window to listen to ss. I was youthful and rebellious at that time. When I was teased, I evenined about how poor my aunt was, and why I had to live such a bitter lifeI remember one summer I went to work at a hair salon to earn money, and I nearly got tricked into selling my body. I was lucky though, I got out of there.
I still remember the winter of my first year of high school. I was lying outside of the ssroom, eavesdropping on the teachers lecture. The cold wind brushed past my neck and it was so cold I couldnt even hold my pen properly. But since my family was poor, I was already losing at the starting line. If I didnt learn this way, I wouldve been left further behind by them.
Remember when everyone was dragging me a while ago on the? Then, Lin Yueqi took out a wet tissue from her bag and wiped away the foundation on her face, revealing the faint red scar. Look, Qin Xue disfigured me, and I had to take her nder. I felt wronged, and I mean, who wouldnt? Who doesnt have to suffer in this world? My aunt told me that life is just a sad show, you have to think about how hard you tried in the past at your most bitter moments. Persevere, and persevere more, then you might be able to see a better tomorrow.
Jiang Mucheng looked at her, not expecting her to have gone through so much.
Jiang Mucheng had also experienced simr things to the bitter past she mentioned. When she was in high school, she was subjected to bullying because her family was poor. When she went into college, she was ridiculed by her ssmates for being a bumpkin because her family was too poor for her to afford clothes and cosmetics.
She had low self-esteem and sunk deep into her bones. She thought that she could earn money to change herself after she started working, but she didnt expect to encounter Zhao Yuans suppression.
The abuse from theizens back then became thest straw that broke the camels back.
She wanted to die to end everything, but then she met the system.
When she thought of the past, she suddenly covered her face and cried out on the dining table.
Before entering the shop with Lin Yueqi, she was filled with envy of her. But now, she was full of remorse.
Shes such a tough girl, how could a man like Lu Ting not like her?
On the other hand, she was using the system to hurt innocent people, using it to take over the work of othersWhat did she get in the end? She ended up embarrassing herself like a fool in front of a crowd and became a fool.
So, what kind of person did she be in the end?
Of course Lin Yueqi would not dare to reveal that she learned of the system through her dreams. She was worried that if her persuasion failed, that the system and Jiang Mucheng woulde back to bite her.
But now, it seems the system still had no idea she knew about its existence through her dreams, and she certainly wouldnt reveal a single word.
Thats why she used this roundabout way to alert the supporting female character who was bound to the gold finger system.
Lin Yueqi had a simr background to her and also understood the girls change of heart. She also wanted to give up her morals during difficult times and choose to take shortcuts to obtain sess.
But she didnt in the end, and eventually overcame the devil in her heart.
Human nature isplicated, and in the most desperate times, a little temptation can easily copse all defenses.
*
Jiang Mucheng was crying sadly on the table, while Lin Yueqi was huffing to dispel the eat from eating too much chili and couldnt say anything.
Just when Jiang Mucheng was crying the most pitifully, the systems prompt rang in her ear:
Dingding~ System reboot was sessful.
However, as soon as the Revenge Script sessfully rebooted, it felt an energy attack from the host.
Chapter 138 - Persevere, and Persevere More (6)
Ch.138 Persevere, and Persevere More(6)
The system began to reorganize its code and became chaotic. The more Jiang Mucheng fell in her pain, the faster the system reorganized itself.
At this time, Lin Yueqi received a call from Lu Ting, and she informed them of their location. A few minutester, Lu Ting appeared in front of the milk tea shop with Tuantuan in his hands.
The chubby girl had fallen asleep on Lu Tings shoulder, and Lu Ting was beckoning Lin Yueqi through the ss door of the milk tea shop.
Lin Yueqi went to the counter and put down a hundred bucks. She said to the owner, Help mefort the girl after, and if possible, could you help her get a ride home?
Sure. The owner passed her a pen and paper. Could you give me an autograph?
Lin Yueqi signed her name on the notebook and then grabbed her bag, leaving with the mens jacket over her shoulders.
Before leaving, Lin Yueqi looked at Jiang Mucheng who was crying on the table and sighed.
Hopefully, she wont turn into a second Qin Xue.
*
On the third morning, Lin Yueqi went through the news while lying on her bed and applying a mask.
There were two popr news headlines:
Jiachen Screenwriter admits to using hacking technique to copy someones script
Fraud Girl admits to giarism and making three authors famous!
A screenshot of Jiang Muchengs Weibo was ced at the intro of the first news.
Jiang Mucheng V: Hello, Im Jiang Mucheng, Jiachens contracted screenwriter. Im sorry everyone, but I felt the need to take revenge after the Zhao Yuan incident. I used a hacking technique to hack into theputers of several authors, stealing their original works and registering them before them, taking their works for myself. The works I stole were
Under the blog post, thement sections were boiling with curses.
At the same time that Jiang Mucheng sent out that Weibo, a system notification sounded in her head.
Your actions are a serious vition of the agreement between the system and the host. 20 points of permanent idiocy will be added forever. You can choose to turn back and delete the post, and send another post to rify that your ount was stolen.
Would you like to delete the post and turn back?
Yes
No
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Muchen chose no.
The system was so pissed that it was fuming. It waspletely unaware of what Lin Yueqi had said to her. Was Lin Yueqis brainwashing more powerful than it?
The system was seriously pissed.
*
Two dayster, Lin Yueqi found Jiang Mucheng in a mental hospital. An elderly woman was by her side, crying her eyes out.
Jiang Mucheng was holding aputer, but she had no idea what she was doing. As the typed on it, she muttered and shook her head every so often.
Ever since Jiang Mucheng sent out that post, she turned crazy. She ran about the crowded road, and the police took her to the hospital.
When Lin Yueqi came to see her, she saw what she was typing.
On theputer screen, she saw white text on a ck background. She was constantly typing one line over and over again:
Lin Yueqi is going to win ten million, win ten million.
On the TV, the lottery numbers were ying. The host read out each number one at a time. 01, 02, 45
Lin Yueqi was shocked. Why did this string of numbers look so familiar to her?
When she went out the other day, she stopped by the lottery in front of her neighborhood and bought a ticket. It seemed to be this string of numbers?
Lin Yueqi quickly found the ticket from her wallet and matched it with the numbers on the TV.
Oh shit! Did I win?? Lin Yueqis entire body froze in ce. Her hands were shaking. TenTen million?
The girl in the hospital bed was still chanting ten million. Jiang Muchengs grandmother who was looking at Lin Yueqis shocked face had no idea what just happened. She poured Lin Yueqi a cup of water, but before she could react, she was hugged by the other.
Granny Jiang! I just won ten fucking million!
Some people are in joy, but others are in sorrow.
Revenge Script, Jiang Mucheng, you fucker!!!
The author has something to say:
Jiang Mucheng has to pay the price because she went down the wrong road. You cant erase everything just because you admitted your wrongs.
Chapter 139 - The Two Systems (1)T
Ch.139 The Two Systems(1)
The Revenge Script was originally programmed so that the more a person doesnt want something to happen, the more it will happen to them if their name is written into the script.
Like the writer who suddenly had her baby when she was about to work on the show, she didnt want to have the baby during it, but she did. And then there was that writer who didnt want to inherit the family business. He had money and didnt care about the five million, nor did he really want to win it, but he just did.
For another example, the man who showed them the way to the vige didnt want his only son to go to university. He wanted him to stay in the vige for the rest of his life to inherit his dozens of acres ofnd. But on the contrary, his son was admitted to Tsinghua.
However, after the host, Jiang Mucheng, reflected on herself, it resulted in a reorganization of the code, making it what it is today.
Once Jiang Mucheng writes down someones name in theputer and triggers an event, that persons dreams wille true.
And, Lin Yueqi was the one who paid her medical bills in the hospital she was currently in. Moreover, Lin Yueqi had invited her grandmother over to take care of her and to stay with her.
During the past few days, her grandmother had been whispering in her ear that Lin Yueqi was a good person. She also memorized that name. When Lin Yueqi came in, the lottery announcement was still ying on the TV in the hospital room, so she typed out the words on theputer by intuition.
The system worked. Lin Yueqi really won ten million.
Because of the reorganization of the Revenge Scripts code, its punishment system was destroyed. Even if Jiang Mucheng used its functions indiscriminately now, the system couldnt punish her in any way.
Revenge Script, Jiang Mucheng, you fucker!
The system calmed down and began to coax the demented Jiang Mucheng into unbinding with it.
The systems pretentious friendly voice rang in Jiang Muchengs ear. Hello, my host. As you have seriously vited the agreement between the host and the system, please unbind the Revenge Script system now. Do you wish to unbind?
Yes
No
Jiang Mucheng tilted her head and listened to the sound in her ears. She didnt know what the system was saying at all, but if she didnt choose, itll just keep appearing in front of her.
She was annoyed by the words appearing in front of her, so she scratched her head and picked a random option.
A beep sounded in her ear, and then a mechanical voice. Host Jiang Mucheng refuses to unbind.
Revenge Script,
*
Lin Yueqi who had won ten million yuan called Lu Ting the first chance she could. The man, however, appeared calm and asked, Its just ten million, can it really make you so happy?
Lin Yueqi held the phone and froze in ce.
Fuck you, ten million! Only?! How rich is this guy?! Ten million only?
If Lin Yueqi hadnt had those dreams and had no idea the systems existed, she would definitely keep the ten million. But she knew that she didnt win ten million out of luck, it was the Revenge Script system.
On that day, Lin Yueqi donated the ten million to charity and left some to pay for Jiang Muchengs medical bills and for her grandmother.
Grany Jiang held Lin Yueqis hand gratefully, her cloudy eyes welling with tears. The old womans arms trembled as she spoke, Miss Lin, this old woman will never forget your kindness! On behalf of my granddaughter, I thank you!
Then, Granny Jiang wanted to get on her knees and bow to Lin Yueqi.
Lin Yueqi quickly helped her up and said, Dont be like this, Granny. Im good friends with Xiao Jiang. Im just doing what I should.
Granny Jiang wiped her tears with the back of her hand and breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Jiang Mucheng. if I had known this would happen to her, I wouldnt have let here work in the city. How is she going to live the rest of her life in this state?
Lin Yueqi thought of something and suggested, Um, Granny, if you dont mind, why dont youe work as a cleaner at my supermarket? We offer food and stay for our staff. You also get a sry each month. You can stay here and work in the city, then youll also be able to take care of Xiao Jiang. What do you think?
Chapter 140 - The Two Systems (2)
Ch.140 The Two Systems(2)
When she heard Lin Yueqis suggestion, Granny Jiang wanted to kneel again. Fortunately, Lin Yueqi was now 75 kilos. She had enough meat on her arms to lift up the frail old woman with ease.
Even though Jiang Mucheng gave up on using the revenge Script to take revenge on society, the bond between the system and her did not end. In other words, Lin Yueqi did not fully defeat the Revenge System. So, this system wont abandon its host and try to bind with her like the previous one.
When she thought of this, Lin Yueqi felt grateful to Jiang Mucheng. If this dumb system wasnt bound to her, then it would really be annoying.
*
Lu Ting was too busy with work and couldnt participate in the second episode of the recording. For the remaining episodes, Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan didnt participate either, so the program changed it to a different family.
Because of Lin Yueqi and the others, family no. 2s reputation dropped all the way down, and the audience had also gotten sick of watching this idol-drama like family.
Soon after, the filming for Fat Girl Mama began and Lin Yueqi joined the crew.
The screenwriter was the original author of Fat Girl Mama.
It is said that the original author was touched by Lin Yueqis sincerity of gaining weight, so she nned toplete the script by herself. Lin Yueqi met the original author when she joined the crew that day. They shook hands, and when she saw her current size, tears pooled in her eyes.
This is a good actress who is willing to give up her body for the role! And a good actress like thismands respect.
The author of the story praised Lin Yueqi so much that she was too embarrassed to tell the other person the truth. If the author knew, then she would definitely shed tears of remorse, right?
Fat Girl Mama is a drama that takes the family route.
Fat Girl Mama Jiachen Medias IP, so the male lead is also one of Jiachens hot young actors, while the leading female was yed by Lin Yueqi, an outsider who had not signed with the studio. The inte was specting that Lin Yueqi was only able to get such a good role because of Lu Ting backing her.
Due to the excellence of the production team, it took only three months to finish the shooting for this fantasy-themed movie.
During these three months, Lin Yueqi almost stayed at the studio the whole time and rarely went home. Every night, she would have a voice call with the fat little girl.
Sometimes, the little girl would dream of Lin Yueqi leaving her and began crying. Then, she would secretly voice call Lin Yueqi on her Papas phone.
Compared to Lin Yueqi, Lu Ting was busier. The Qiancheng Group had recently acquired an electronicspany and he was busy with work every day. Fortunately, Aunt Lin was there to help with the kid, otherwise, he may not be able to work as he would be distracted with worry every day about whether the little child was being bullied by the babysitter.
*
On the day the filming for Fat Girl Mama ended, the director took the crew to a restaurant called Swallow Canteen on Yuanqing Hill.
The hill was lush with trees. The crews car was slowly making its way up the winding mountain road.
Swallow Canteen opened just a week ago but has already be famous enough that it attracted many customers from all over. It was said that it was difficult for anyone without status to gain ess to Swallow Canteen, and reservations were required.
The Swallow Canteen is a small wooden house built on top of the hill.
A few papernterns were hung at the entrance, gently twirling in the mountain breeze. On it were the words Swallow Canteen written beautifully with a brush.
Warm light spilled from the wooden windows. They were exhausted after driving for so long on the mountain road, but when they saw the warm light, they actually felt a sense of peace as if they were home.
After Lin Yueqi got off the bus and saw the words Swallow Canteen, she felt her head hurt.
Shit.
Before she was able topletely starve that Revenge Script system to death, the poisonous supporting female character Li Murou appeared with her Gourmet Culinary Goddess system.
Chapter 141 - The Two Systems (3)
Ch.141 The Two Systems(3)
The Gourmet Culinary Goddess system allows Li Murou to make a thought-provoking meal that will make ones tastebuds sink and go crazy. Not only themoners, even the film emperor, the richest man, the head of stateeveryone who ate her food sank under her cuisine with the Gourmet Culinary Goddess system. Nobody was spared.
And, not only can the Gourmet Culinary Goddess system, allow one to eat the best food in their lives, it can also change the state of a person after eating it.
For example, when Li Murou set the drunk function to Lu Tings food, Lu Ting got drunk after eating it and when he drove home, he got into an ident that caused him to lose both his legs and disfiguring his face.
Through the dream, Lin Yueqi figured out who Li Murou is. She also knew why she wanted to harm Lu Ting and Tuantuan.
Li Murou is the youngest daughter of the Lu familys head chef and was raised in the Lu family. Since young, she had adored Young Master Lu Ting. She was very talented in cooking, and her only desire was to cook for Lu Ting for the rest of her life.
After Lu Ting married Lin Yueqi, he moved out of the Lu family house and had his own home. After leaving the old house, Lu Ting didnt take her with him, and she couldnt stop thinking about him, day in day out.
After she got the Culinary Goddess system, she used it to gain Lu Tings appreciation so that Lu Ting couldnt leave her food. Even though Lu Ting liked her food, he never had eyes for her. Only Lin Yueqi and his daughter.
Li Murou didnt understand. What did Lu Ting like about Lin Yueqi?
Lin Yueqi used him to get roles in the circle and used him to act like a bigshot in the industry. Lin Yueqi married him just for his money. Li Murou couldnt understand what exactly he liked about her.
Li Murou left Lu Ting and set up her own restaurant called Swallow Canteen, which attracted many customers.
She used her good food to make friends with rich magnates and won over robbers and thieves. With good resources in her hands, she gradually became stronger and began to suppress Lin Yueqi in the entertainment industry in ways that nobody would notice.
First, she used criminals to frame Lin Yueqi for drug abuse, then she used people from relevant departments to get their hands on Lin Yueqis test samples, leading to her being caught in a big drug storm.
Beingbeled as a crackhead artist, Lin Yueqi was disqualified of all her unreleased movies, and she herself saw the end of her career.
If it wasnt for the fact that Lin Yueqi had a wealthy husband to support her, she might have been done for.
After all, Lu Ting was the richest man. He always had his means to get through the policeman and check tho did the dirty work on Lin Yueqiss samples. The policeman brought her to justice, but they were unwilling to reveal the culprit behind it.
Lin Yueqis injustice was settled and the movies that were suppressed were re-released.
However, many peoples impression of her was stuck on the fact that she was just a drug addict and that she had a capable husband who was cleaning her reputation for her behind the scenes, and the re-released movies were repeatedly boycotted, causing the movie to fail.
The Gourmet Culinary Goddess system was far more powerful than the two systems that appeared before. To the people, food was the most important thing, and the systempelled the hearts and tastebuds of the people, not Li Murou herself.
Of course, as a system, it also had its weakness and would suffer attacks.
Its weak point is the love produced by Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting. As the two share mutual affection, the system will receive attacks, and Li Murou will also be punished.
When Lu Ting died in his previous life, the Gourmet Culinary Goddess system was still strong. That was because there never was mutual affection between him and Lin Yueqi.
After Lin Yueqis death, Lu Ting never remarried, and Li Murou had always been waiting for him.
Li Murou hoped that she could win his affection with food, but it took her some years to realize that Lu Tings tears were not from how good the food was, but because every time he ate that food, he would think about what he did wrong to Lin Yueqi.
When Li Murou learned the truth, she added alcohol to the food which wont appear on tests, causing Lu Ting to drive drunk, ending up in an ident that cost him his legs and disfigured him.
Chapter 142 - Hot Pot (1)
Ch.142 Hot Pot(1)
Sis Qi, what are you in a daze about? Were going in. When leading man Qi Mo saw her standing at the door staring at the papernterns, he urged her.
Only then did Lin Yueqie back to her senses. With an okay, she quickly followed in.
You had to change your shoes when you entered the ce. Everyone gets a pair of slippers.
Since the visitors were all scheduled customers, each pair of slippers is custom-made to the customers size with the customers names embroidered on them. With the help of the attendant, Lin Yueqi changed her slippers and straightened her body. Then, the attendant pushed open the wooden paper door and invited her in.
An aroma wafted into her nose.
The smell of hot pot.
There are sixteen people in the cast. With eight people per table, they had two tables in total.
Lin Yueqi sat side by side with the leading man Qi Mo. The director and assistant director sat to her right, and the four apanying writers also sat at the same table with them.
In the middle was a casserole pot filled with boiling soup. White smoke was rising out from the top. The soup is made with oysters and boiled to a milky white color, and then pickled vegetables were thrown in to cook as well, creating a fragrant aroma. With a gurgling sound, the oysters and the pickled vegetables popped out onto the surface.
Even though it was an ordinary dish, the creamy soup served with sides like pickled cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and oysters, gave off a delicious aroma.
Ths tantalizing vor of the soup mixed in with the appetizing sourness of the pickled vegetables stimted the taste buds to produce saliva, and their stomachs were moring to be fed.
The people around the table couldnt help but swallow their saliva as they gathered around the hotpot.
Qi Mo is one of Jiachens contracted artists, and Jiachen was extremely harsh on their actors. He usually ate in moderation and would never eat something high-calorie like this.
But right now, he picked up his chopsticks and couldnt wait to ask, Can we start now?
The director was also tickled by the wonderful aroma. Heughed. The food isnt served yet, whats the hurry?
As soon as he finished speaking, a girl in a ck chefs uniform walked into the hall with two tes of white meat. She ced the two tes on the bar and took out a knife. Smiling to the two tables of customers, she said, Sorry for the wait.
The girl was only about twenty and no taller than 160cm. She had delicate features and a thin figure. When she picked up the bulky iron cleaver, everyone was worried that she wouldnt be able to hold it well and that the weight of the cleaver would break that dainty arm.
But soon, the cleaver was in her hand, and she was able to twirl the cleaver easily ono her palm like an acrobatics show.
The director pped and shouted, Amazing!
The bar was situated right in front of the two tables and it only went up to the girls waist. Li Murou served up to pieces of white meat that was kept frozen at a low temperature. With gentle strokes of her knife, she cut the meat into slices.
Each slice of meat was cut paper-thin. After she put together about a hundred slices arranged on a te, she brought them to the table.
Lin Yueqi was clearly hungry too, and she couldnt stand the aroma.
Who under the heavens could stand the temptation of food?
Once the meat was served, everyone started moving their chopsticks. Only Lin Yueqi was holding down her stomach desperately, watching everyone else at the table chow down.
The director slurped up about a dozen meat slices before he asked Lin Yueqi, Xiao Lin, arent you eating?
Lin Yueqi swallowed her spit again and shook her head, rubbing her stomach. The movie just finished shooting, Ill have to start losing weight. I really cant eat more. Ill just watch you guys eat while I drink water.
But under the scent of the food, the tea just tasted nd in her mouth.
75 kilos may not be much for a normal person, but for an actress, it couldpletely destroy her future in the industry.
As soon as her voice trailed off, diet-fiend Qi Mo picked up a piece of meat and dipped it into the soup pot, fishing it out in just a few seconds. He deliberately brought the cooked meat in front of Lin Yueqi, shaking it. Under the light, she could see the cooked meat coated in a translucent shine.
A wave of insuppressible hunger rushed into her nose, but Lin Yueqis stomach was doing its best to resist. Due to her extreme reticence, her forehead was covered in ayer of sweat.
Chapter 143 - Hot Pot (2)
Ch.143 Hot Pot(2)
Under this temptation, Lin Yueqi felt the need to escape. She wanted to get up, but every cell of her body prevented her escape. She simply didnt have the strength to stand up. It was as if her body had been stripped of all strength.
Even though she endured to the best of her ability, she couldnt hold on. Like a failure, she ate the food Li Murou cooked. After taking a bite, it was as if her consciousness went out of control and her soup was stripped away. She couldnt control her body.
When she reached the door, she didnt want toe back inside, but this ce was in the middle of nowhere and it would be inappropriate for her to leave. Thus, she only wanted toe in to look at the third supporting female, Li Murou.
She never would have expected LiMurous food attack to be so strong that she couldnt even control her thoughts under the aroma.
Each piece of white meat was evenly covered in the thick soup. When it entered her mouth, the extreme freshness of it loosened her tastebuds. That exquisite feeling of the meat melting in her mouth was overwhelming.
It was too good, why even dietThat beautiful taste was engraved deep inside of her brain, carving deeper than anything else.
As expected of the culinary god system.
Lin Yueqi stuffed food into her mouth again and again. She could almost cry about how spineless she was.
Their table had eaten a total of sixteen tes of white meat. An insurmountable number of calories.
At the end of the meal, Lin Yueqi hugged her round belly and burped like everyone else at the table.
Li Murou came in and bowed to them, smiling. How was the meal, everybody? If the hospitality is in any way improper, please do mention it. The small shop hasnt been open for long. Well definitely improve.
The director was from Dongbei. It must be because the food reminded him of his dead mother, but while weeping, he choked, Boss Li, your food is too delicious, can Ie again tomorrow?
Li Murou shook her head and refused. Sorry, but we have other customers tomorrow. if you want toe back again, please make a reservation in advance, DIrector Zhang.
After that, she turned her eyes to Lin Yueqi. Lin Yueqis eyes met those of the smiling Supporting Female Li, and she burped. The emotion in her eyes were unnamed as if they were suppressing mockery. She said, Miss Lin, Im a big fan of yours. Can I have your autograph?
Lin Yueqi continued to burp and waspletely unable to refuse her request.
After eating Li Murous food, Lin Yueqi was like a drug addict that couldnt stop thinking about that taste. She was originally able to control her appetite, but after tasting her food, her stomach began to scream, making it impossible for her to concentrate on anything else.
However, she wasnt the only one in this situation. There were also the other staff members who ate at Swallow Canteen.
When she reached home, Lin Yueqi stepped out from the bath, suppressing her feelings of hunger, and found her phone ringing with WeChats notification bell.
Sheid down in bed and turned on her phone. It was the crews group chat.
The prop departments Xiaoxiao, My god, I ate so much that day but why do I feel so angry? I really want to eat white meat hot pot again. Just thinking about that taste makes me drool.
Screenwriter Xiao Yi, +1, Im super hungry right now. I already ate a bowl of instant noodles. After that divine meal, these noodles have no taste at all. Sob sob sob sobI want to eat it again. @Director Zhang Zhen Director Zhang, how exactly did you make a reservation at Swallow Canteen? Requesting for another appointment! Im gonna eat there again even if I go broke!
Screenwriter Wen Jing, Aaaa, I want to know how to reserve too! Ive been looking for Swallow Canteen on Meituan* all day but I cant find it! I really wanna eat it! Stop hiding it, director. Quickly send us the reservation method!
Qi Mo, @Zhang Zhen send us the reservation method, otherwise well kick you from the group.
Right after leading man Qi Mo sent that message, a system prompt appeared in the groupDirector Zhang has left the chat.
Everyone,
Did the director leave the group to hide the food? The crowd was infuriated. While rubbing their stomachs, they cursed that the director would have to eat instant noodles without a spice packet, and also discussed how they were going to make the director give up the reservation method.
When Lin Yueqi saw the crazy in the group, she rubbed her stomach, expressing that she could empathize with them.
Chapter 144 - Hot Pot (3)
Ch.144 Hot Pot(3)
Right now, her stomach was screaming for food. Lin Yueqi couldnt take the torture anymore and ran downstairs. She opened the fridge and began stuffing her mouth frantically.
She only wanted to fill her empty stomach with food to get rid of that hollow feeling, and also to gain joy from the food.
She knew that something was wrong with Li Murous food and was very frustrated with herself for not being able to hold back.
Lin Yu had just finished giving Tuantuan a bath and the little girl ran down in a spaghetti strap dress. She ran down barefoot to find her Mama.
Lin Yu followed after her and shouted with a frown. Put on your shows, Tuantuan! You better not catch a cold.
But Tuantuan didnt listen and ran down the stairs barefooted.
Lu Ting heard that Lin Yueqi would be home today and also finished work early toe home. He hung his briefcase on the rack at the entrance and changed into his slippers before heading in.
As he was about to head upstairs, the fat little girl rushed over and jumped straight onto hisp.
Lu Ting picked up the little girl in one smooth motion and said in a gentle voice. You got heavier again. What did you do? Not wearing your shoes again?
Lin Yu rushed over and said with a sigh, Shes getting naughtier.
Tuantuan hugged her fathers neck, burying her chubby face shamefully between her fathers neck, looking aggrieved. I just couldnt wait to see Qiqi.
At the same time, the three people in the living room heard the noise in the kitchen.
Lu Ting and Lin Yu looked at each other and walked over to the kitchen in unison.
When they reached the entrance, they saw the image of Lin Yueqi burying her face into the refrigerator.
She was wearing a strap dress and standing barefoot in front of the fridge.
Lu Ting approached her with Tuantuan and tapped her shoulder. What are you doing?
Lin Yueqi turned back. Her cheeks were bulging and her mouth was filled with leafy greens. She was still chewing the vegetables and making a chewing noise with her mouth. Her abdomen was bulging abnormally from eating too many foreign objects.
After chewing and swallowing the vegetables into her stomach. she grabbed a piece of winter melon from the refrigerator and stuffed it into her mouth with the fuzzy skin.
Lin Yu was stunned when she saw this and quickly snatched the winter melon from her hands. Red-eyed she said, Qiqi! What are you doing?!
Lin Yueqi then took an onion out of the fridge and put it into her mouth, crunching on it.
When Lu ting saw that the situation wasnt good, he immediately put Tuantuan down and pped the food out of her hands, grabbing her uncontroble hands. The little girl was clearly also scared silly by how her mother looked. She hugged Lin Yueqis legs, crying and shouting, Mama, dont be like this, Tuantuan is scared.
Lin Yueqis mouth was pricked by the burrs of the winter melon, but her hunger was more painful than that.
Lu Ting frowned. He grabbed her hands and pressed her against the kitchen wall. What on earth are you doing?
As if she was suffering from withdrawal, Lin Yueqi began to sniffle from theck of food. Her eyes were dted and she couldnt stop shaking. With the only willpower she had left, she managed to utter one sentence, Im so hungry, Lu Ting. Im so fucking hungry, give me food! I want to eat!
The smell of the white meat hotpot still lingered in her nose, and she couldnt stop her tears from flowing as she spoke.
Lu Ting was wearing a white shirt with the sleeves pulled up to his elbow, and a firm forearm was disyed in front of Lin Yueqis eyes. She stared at Lu Tings arms, swallowed her saliva, and bit down without hesitation.
Seeing the urgency of the situation, Lin Yu looked around, picked up an iron pot, and smashed Lin Yueqis head with a bang.
With a heavy blow to the back of her head, Lin Yueqis sight went dark. She fainted.
*
DingThe Food Hunger Disease function you used has worked. This is a strong function that can only be used once. From today on, this function will be permanently locked.
Li Murou was making soup in the kitchen when she suddenly heard the system prompt.
The tomato broth in the pot emitted a sweet fragrance, and the dazzling red of the tomatoes dyed the soup in an alluring hue. The assistant beside her kept gulping.
It smelled too good.
She wondered if she was hallucinating from the aroma, but it felt as if she could see lighting out of the pot. The assistant thought that Chuka Ichiban was exaggerating every dish for the sake of art, but it wasnt until she tried Li Murous dishes that she realized that the presentation of the food in Chuka Ichiban was not exaggerated.
Chapter 145 - Hot Pot (4)
Ch.145 Hot Pot(4)
When Li Murou heard the system prompt, she felt inwardly dejected that such a good function could only be used once.
However, even if it can only be used once, it was a no-brainer to use it on Lin Yueqi.
Earths modern medicine couldnt fight against the Culinary Goddess System at all.
People on Earth would only think that Lin Yueqi was suffering from a rare disease, and this disease could not be cured by Earths doctors.
The Gourmet Culinary Goddess system is one of the excellent alien systems that can easily control human nerves. The human brain is veryplex, but it can transform certain human nerves precisely with food, causing Lin Yueqi to be what she is now.
Li Murou smiled and said in a soft voice, Is Director Li here?
Yes, its been ten minutes. He seems to be very unhappy with the speed at which we serve the food and has cursed and grumbled several times.
Li Murou, No hurry. When he tries my food, he wont dare to do any of that anymore or show disrespect to my staff. Right, try to find a way to get Lu Ting a business card from us. If you get a reservation from him, move the people at the front to the back.
Even though the assistant didnt know what she had in mind, she didnt dare to specte and epted the task.
*
At the hospital, Lin Yueqis limbs were tied up. To prevent her from biting her tongue and ending herself, the medical staff even gagged her.
Doctors have already given her sedatives, but after the medication wore off, they still couldnt find the cause of her illness. Since Lin Yueqis abdomen was swelling badly, the doctors could only find a way to get her to throw it up.
Tuantuan couldnt bear to see her mother in pain. She hugged her fathers legs and buried her face in his thigh, sobbing quietly.
She looked back at Lin Yueqi every now and then, rubbing her eyes red with her meaty hands.
Lin YUeqi held the stic washbasin passed to her by the nurse and vomited again and again. From what she vomited, they were actually able to find chunks of undigested watermelon rind.
When Lu Ting saw her like this, he shut his eyes in pain and held his daughters head firm. He couldnt bear to let her look.
At around 11pm, Yueqi Supermarket was closed. The store manager Xiao Ke learned that Lin Yueqi had an acute illness and rushed to bring the store employees to visit the hospital.
There were only five employees in Yueqi Supermarket now. Even though Jiang Mucheng turned dumb, she was working with her grandmother to do the simple task of cleaning the supermarket.
The dormitory that Xiao Ke rented for Jiang Mucheng and her grandmother was an apartment in the city center with a nice environment, allowing the two to live a pretty decent life.
When Xiao Ke brought Jian Mucheng and her grandmother to the hospital, Lin Yueqi had just gotten done vomiting. The restraints in her mouth were removed and she uncontrobly grabbed the nket and began putting it into her mouth, tearing off pieces of cloth that she intended to swallow into her stomach.
There were also several male nurses with Lu Ting who held her down and forced the contents out of her mouth.
Seeing Lin Yueqi like this, Xiao Ke and Granny Jiang couldnt help but shed tears.
Granny Jiang wiped her tears and said, Has the boss been possessed? Why dont we invite a master toe take a look?
Even though Lu Ting did not believe in the ult, he still acquiesced to Granny Jiangs proposal when he saw Lin Yueqis current appearance.
Together, Lin Yu and Granny Jiang went out to look for a master.
The others stayed in the ward to watch over LIn Yueqi, afraid that she wouldnt make it through the night. The atmosphere in the ward was very tense.
Jiang Mucheng sat in the corner, silently wiping her tears.
Probably to ease her sadness, she took herptop out from her bag and began typing on it.
Sister Lin will get better soon, Sister Lin will get better soon. Sister Lin cant die, Sister Lin still has to pay me and Grandma.
Revenge Script,
Jiang Mucheng continued tapping on the keyboard. Revenge Script thought she was going to write something, but unexpectedly, she added a QAQ.
Revenge Script, You mother fucker.
That mechanical voice sounded in Jiang Muchengs ears again.
As usual, the mechanical voice called her a retard She didnt care how that voice scolded her. Her granny told her that it doesnt matter what anyone says as long as shes happy.
Grinning, she continued to type on the next line. QAQ, QAQ, QAQ, QAQ
It was as if she was acting spoiled at the system.
Chapter 146 - How could Lin Yueqi still be alive? (1)
Ch.146 How could Lin Yueqi still be alive?(1)
Since Jiang Mucheng is the host, the Revenge Script can only be at her mand since it cant brainwash her.
Now, even though Jiang Mucheng had turned stupid, she was blessed in her ill-fortune and obtained a different kind of lucky system.
She shut herptop and sat there silently, looking at Lin Yueqis direction and wiping her tears away.
Jiang Mucheng was suddenly afraid that Lin Yueqi would die just like that. If she dies, what was going to happen to her and her grannys sries? It also just happened to be the 28th, there were only two days before she and her granny could receive their sries. Who was going to give them their sry if their boss dies?
With this belief in ce, she could not let Lin Yueqi die just like that.
So, with those thoughts in mind, she types down that line into herptop.
At around twelve oclock, Li Xing heard that Lin Yueqi had suddenly fallen ill with some strange disease, and she might not make it through the night. He was very worried that his friend Lu Ting would not be able to withstand the pain of loving his loved one and rushed over from home to the hospital.
As soon as he entered the ward, he heard the chubby little girl crying, and it was simply gut-wrenching.
Lin Yueqi was lying asleep on the hospital bed, her face morbidly pale. On the other side, Lu Ting was holding the girl and sitting quietly by the bed.
Two women sat on the sofa in the corner.
One was Lin Yueqis assistant, Xiao Ke; the other, she was no stranger either. It was Jiang Mucheng who suddenly admitted to giarism and turned into an idiot.
When he saw Jiang Mucheng, Li Xing stepped back in fright and let out a yelp, Damn! Scared me to death
He patted his chest and asked, Whats that fool doing here?
When Li Xing said the word fool, Jiang Mucheng tilted her head at him. She seemed to be very bothered about Li Xing saying that about her and puffed her cheeks out, pouting and huffing.
Li Xing, What, even fools act cute these days?
He turned his head over to Lu Ting and asked, Bro, hows your future wife doing?
Lu Ting looked extremely haggard and his throat felt heavy as if it was weighted by a thousand pounds, making him unable to speak.
After a few sobs, Tuantuan stopped crying. She rubbed her red and puffy eyes and put a finger to her lips. Putting on a serious tone, she said to Li Xing, ShhMama is asleep, dont interrupt Mamas sleep. Mama is so strong and beautiful, she will definitely wake up.
She was very afraid, afraid that her Mama would never open her eyes again. It seemed like that was the ending in each one of her dreams.
Lin Yueqiying in bed, lying in a ss case, never to wake up again. Finally, it turned into a grave.
As the little girl spoke, tears began to well in her eyes again. Her voice trembled while she spoke as if she was trying to hold her tears back, afraid to disturb Lin Yueqis sleep.
Originally, Li Xing did not feel too badly that Lin Yueqi was sick. After all, he wasnt close to her.
But when he saw her upset the little girl was, his heart went soft and it felt like something was tugging at his heartstrings. It hurt.
Li Xing went over and carried the girl off of Lu Tings arms. He said to him, Hey buddy, go out and get some air. Ill take over here.
The room just felt stuffy to Lu Ting and his emotions feltplicated.
Walking out of the ward, he headed into the fire exit and pulled a box of cigarettes out from his pocket.
Pushing the box open with one hand, he pulled a cigarette out with his mouth and lit it with the lighter in his other hand.
Since he reunited with Tuantuan, Lu Ting rarely smoked anymore.
He would never smoke in front of women and children, now would he do it hidden in a corner of the house. When he really couldnt stand it anymore, he would secretly smoke a cig in his office.
Chapter 147 - How could Lin Yueqi still be alive? (2)
Ch.147 How could Lin Yueqi still be alive?(2)
But now, he felt incredibly stressed.
These days, in the days he spent with Lin Yueqi, he got to know that be it her nature and everything else, she was a suitable pick. Lin Yueqi also felt that Lin Yueqi was a good and unpretentious girl.
He was born without much of a tendency to date or pursue women, so Lin Yueqi was the only person he had been in contact with since young.
Ever since he began cohabitating with Lin Yueqi, he really did have the illusion sometimes that he and Lin Yueqi were a married couple.
But reality just keeps pping him in the face.
They shared the same house but slept in two different beds. They conceived a daughter together, but no love was born between the two of them. It was funny to think about it, but even though he had a thing for Lin Yueqi and also felt that she would make a good wife, He had never ever expressed a single hint of love towards her.
Even when Tuantuan asked if he liked Lin Yueqi, he couldnt answer.
To him, I like you, and I love you, are both very awkward and pretentious words.
He took a drag and began thinking seriously about the matters between men and women. If Lin Yueqi doesnt make it through this night, he would be sad, but would he vent that sadness by crying like Tuantuan? He had no idea.
But he was very sure that if Lin Yueqi was gone, the little bit of color he was able to find in this world would be gone, and everything would turn grey and drab just like before.
The scene of Lin Yueqi retching painfully swept through his mind again, and that suffocating feeling grew even stronger inside of him. He wanted to vent this feeling, but he had no idea how. He could only smoke cigarette after cigarette.
Who knows how much time had passed, but Lin Yueqais voice emerged from the hall.
Lu Ting, ?? He pricked his ears and listened carefully. It really did sound very much like Lin Yueqi.
Was he beginning to hear things?
Lu Ting put his cigarette out on the trash can and headed back to the corridor.
He saw a group of people crowding around the corridor, two Taoist priest in monk robes, Aunt Lin, and some others.
Lin Yueqi was holding a chair in her hand, trying to get a hit on the priest while her legs were each held down by the chubby girl and Jiang Mucheng who were sitting on the floor respectively.
Jiang Muchengtched onto her leg and mumbled, Violence is no good, violence is no good
The girl was gritting her teeth hard, holding onto Lin Yueqis leg with all her strength. Mama, stay calm, stay calm! Tuantuans pee is not so hard to ept, right?! Compared to Papas pee, Tuantuans pee is much better!
Everyone, Almost sounds as if shes tried it before.
Lin Yueqi held up the chair and cursed, You damn priest! Damn preachers! If you dont spit out my aunts money today, Ill kill you, I
The two priests were trembling behind Lin Yu and Granny Jiang. But they were constantly throwing charms at Lin Yueqi, saying, Look at that, look at that! Actress Lin has been possessed by a hungry ghost! We spent a lot of effort exorcising that ghost for her but she actually bit back! How infuriating!
Lin Yu tried tofort the priests and said respectfully, Its my niece who isnt sensible, shes not sensibleQiqi, how could you say that to the priest? If it werent for them, you wouldnt be awake now!
Lin Yueqi was clearly very pissed off and continued rolling up her sleeves. I was having a good fucking sleep and this damned priest actually made me drink the girls piss! I! Im gonna killem!
The priests said, Thats virgin boy urine! Its used to drive ghosts away!
Tuantuan who was sitting on the ground desperatelytching onto her mothers legs said softly, Grandpa priest, Tuantuan is a girl.
Fuck you! Lin Yueqi raised the chair and said, Come over here if you have the balls, see if I wont kill you!
Chapter 148 - How could Lin Yueqi still be ali
Ch.148 How could Lin Yueqi still be alive?(3)
The priest continued to hide behind the two elders and kept going, Swing that chair if you dare! Its not my aunt anyway!
Lu Ting went over and took the chair away from Lin Yueqi, frowning, Alright, stop it. Come back with me.
He easily snatched the chair away from the girl and tossed it aside. Lin Yueqi was shaking from anger at the sight of the priests. She still wanted to argue, but the man leaned down, grabbed her legs, and slung her over his shoulder like a sack of rice.
Lin Yueqi,
Everyone, Mr. Lu really has no pity for the fairer sex at all.
Tuantuan climbed up from the ground and followed her dad. While walking right behind him, she muttered, Papa should be carrying Mama like a princess. You really dont know how to pamper Mama.
Lu Ting, If he were to pick her up in a princess carry in that sort of situation, who can guarantee that a certain aggravated someone wont just jump down herself? This was clearly the safest choice.
Lu Ting ced Lin Yueqi back in bed and pressed on the buzzer next to the bed.
Lin Yueqi sat on the bed still huffing with anger. Wiping her mouth she said, Damn it, Im so pissed! Why did you hire the priests? Im not dead yet
Other than the priests, everyone returned to the ward, scrambling to exin to her what happened tonight.
Lin Yueqi quite clearly jumped in shock.
She rubbed her swollen and painful temples and recalled a bit of her earlier madness.
Immediately after, she called everyone in the crew. However, even though the others were hungry at best, nobody went crazy like she did.
After the examination, the doctors were incredulous. What a miracle! Miss Lin was cured without treatment!
Lu Ting frowned. He was growing more and more confused about Lin Yueqis body.
Could it be that she was suffering from the after-effects of the rare obesity disease she contracted from Qin Xue? The more Lu Ting thought about it, the more the thoughts put chills down his spine. He had to find a way to get Lin Yueqi to slim down.
Since it was toote, Lu Ting arranged for everyone to go home.
Granny Jiang and Jiang Mucheng chose to stay.
Granny Jiang said, Chengcheng and I will stay behind. Even though there are caregivers here, they still wont take of Boss Lin as they would their own. It would put us more at ease too if we took care of her ourselves.
Lin Yu had to bring the chubby little girl home and coax her to sleep. There was nothing she could help with over here at the hospital.
So, over at the hospital, Lu Ting, Granny Jiang, and Jiang Muchneng stayed behind while the others were sent home.
Since there was only one room for visitors, the room was left for Lu Ting while Granny Jiang and Jiang Mucheng slept in the same room as Lin Yueqi.
At three in the morning, Granny Jiangs snoring sounded in the room. Both Lin Yueqi and Jiang Mucheng were unable to sleep because of the noise.
Jiang Mucheng sat on the sofa, ying on herptop. Instead of calling it y, however, she was just staring at herputer screen.
Ever since Jiang Mucheng was picked up from the mental hospital, she had been holding theptop all day long. Who knows what shes been looking at.
Lin Yueqi beckoned her and whispered, Chengcheng,e here.
Jiang Mucheng was stunned for a moment. Still holding herptop, she went over. Lin Yueqi pulled her nket open and patted the empty space next to her. Come here, lets sleep together.
Happily, Jiang Mucheng carried herptop over and snuggled into her warm nket.
A few minutester.
The two girls sat on the bed, bodies covered with the nket, and began to study theptop which was the incarnation of the Revenge Script.
Theptop became the only light source underneath the covers, and there was a line of white letters on a ck background while the cursor rested on thest word, blinking constantly.
Chapter 149 - How could Lin Yueqi still be alive? (4)
Ch.149 How could Lin Yueqi still be alive?(4)
I hope Sis Lin will pay my sry tomorrow, I hope Sis Lin will pay my sry tomorrow.
Resting their heads against each other, they used the arrow keys to move the interface upwards.
Just an hour ago, Jiang Mucheng wrote, Sis Lin will get better soon, Sis Lin will get better soon.
Lin Yueqi finally found the reason why she was cured.
She was cured not because she drank the Tuantuans virgin girl urine, but rather because Jiang Mucheng had written a prayer for her to get better on the Revenge Script.
Even though Lin Yueqi had no idea why the Revenge Script would turn into the Lucky Sincerity Spirit, she subconsciously felt that it had much to do with Jiang Muchengs reversal from evil.
As the first supporting female character to disobey her system, she had probably exuded some sort of energy that reversed the systems function.
Lin Yueqi sighed. She deeply felt that life as a heroine was hard.
She reached out and put her arm around Jiang Muchengs shoulder, patted it, and whispered, Old Cheng, I have something to discuss with you.
Jiang Mucheng turned her face around, tilting her head, and looked at her in a silly way.
Lin Yueqi said, Can you write on this stupidputer, Sis Lin will be immune to the Gourmet Culinary Goddess system? If you do, Ill pay you sry every day from now on.
Jiang Mucheng couldnt wrap her head around what that meant, but she probably understood what getting a sry every day entailed.
Lin Yueqi said, Here, Ill read it out one word at a time. Write it one by one. First, Lin
Jiang Mucheng stared at her nkly, but her fingers did not move.
Disgruntled, Lin Yueqi took hold of her fingers, intending to type out the words using her fingers. However, when she held the girls hand and tried to type on the keyboard, she shuddered. It felt like her body had just been electrocuted.
She retracted her hand and flung her shoulder back in pain.
When Jiang Mucheng saw her weird appearance, she silently shut herptop and quietly got out of bed barefooted, climbing back to her grannys nest. After carrying herptop back, she left only a pair of eyes outside the covers, staring straight at Lin Yueqi.
Lin Yueqi felt shivers from being stared at like that. She clicked her tongue. Old Cheng, you sure you dont wanna help me? Youll get paid every day.
Jiang Mucheng was unmoved.
Lin Yueqi tried to move her with emotions instead and began muttering, One revenge gone and a gourmetes. These female supporting leads really are crazy. Since they cant get him, theyre even thinking of destroying him? In thest life she caused Old Lu to get crippled and disfigured, who knows what shes gonna do this time. Sometimes I really question whether Im really the female lead or what.
Heroine aura and golden fingersI should at least get a full set, right?
If Im really at wits end, then should I tell Old Lu the truth? I wonder if hell take me for a crazy person or something.
Jiang Mucheng blinked her eyes. Under Lin Yueqis watch, she opened herptop.
Someone wants to harm Big Brother Lu Ting? Jiang Mucheng pouted, very displeased.
Brother Lu Ting can only stay with Sis Lin! No one is allowed to break them up!
Two words popped up clearly in her mind. Gourmet Culinary Goddess and immune. So, with much effort, she did her very best toe up with aplete sentence.
Word by word, she recorded the sentence on herputer.
Brother Lu Ting will be immune to the Gourmet Culinary Goddess system. QAQ
Lin Yueqi came to her bed, saw the words on herputer, and hooked her arm over her shoulder, saying, Old Cheng, at the very least we still have a revolutionary friendship between a female lead and a female supporting lead, right? How can you give such a good opportunity to just Old Lu and not me? Thats very ungenerous of you.
Jiang Mucheng continued to look at her with a nk face as if she was actively blocking out what she was saying.
Lin Yueqi,
Chapter 150 - How could Lin Yueqi still be alive? (5)
Ch.150 How could Lin Yueqi still be alive?(5)
On that night, Lin Yueqi had a dream.
It turns out that Li Murous Gourmet Culinary Goddess system wasnt so strong after all.
The system is divided into three major functions
Ultimate level C Gourmet Hunger Syndrome: It can tamper with a persons mind to make them addicted to a certain kind of food. Once the person eats this type of food, he or she will be crazy just like an addict and suffer from hunger pangs. After that, their stomach will turn into a bottomless pit and they will go crazy for food, eating anything and everything until they burst. And, this perverse ability can only be used once. After one use, this function will be permanently disabled.
Intermediate level C Gourmet Optimization: You can change the color, taste, and smell of the food. Food optimized by this function will give others the illusion that this is the most delicious food in the world. This ability can be used once a day, and the people who eat the food optimized by this function will feel no other side effects, they just feel that the food they ate is unmatchable.
Low level C Food Status Addition. This function can add a drunken effect to the food, but no instrument on earth can detect the presence of alcohol in the food, and the person eating it will not feel the alcohol from the food.
When Lin Yueqi understood the functions of the Gourmet Culinary Goddess system, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The systems ultimate killer move had already been used by Li Murou in her attempt to kill her. The other two abilities can no longer cause her immediate damage.
The Food Optimization function will not be as strong as the Food Hunger Syndrome function which makes her addicted to certain foods and even makes her overeat. She would at most feel that the food is delicious and make her taste buds enjoy it more.
Meanwhile, the Food Status Addition function was even more useless on her.
The next day at noon, Li Murou was preparing some Ningbo dishes to entertain the Film Emperor, Li Xiujie.
What she prepared for the Film Emperor Li Xiujie is a dish called Yellow Croaker Roast Pork.
Yellow Croaker is a type of salty dried fish. After the fresh yellow croaker is gutted, it will be salted and dried, after which it is used in a pork roast. The tender fatty meat will not be too oily in the mouth while the dried fish is fragrant without being too dry. Each bite is covered in a thick sauce. In ones mouth, it tasted almost like a nuclear bomb sweeping through a persons taste buds.
Li Xiujie had a very pleased expression on his face when he ate this dish. He originally thought that the poprity of this store was all blind hype, but after trying this dish, he became a fan of this little bossdy.
After going back, he had to ask his boss Li Xing to try this dish as well.
Li Murou looked through the kitchen window at Li Xiujie who was enjoying himself outside, a smug smile appearing on her face.
But very soon, her attention was caught by a blog post.
#Lin Yueqi bringing her daughter to school but caught buying Weilong Spicy Sticks at the school entrance#
In the picture, Lin YUeqi was wearing sunsses and holding a bag of Weilong Spicy Sticks. When she found out that someone was taking pictures of her, she hurriedly hid the snack in her arms, putting on a serious look as if she was saying no stealing my spicy sticks.
When Li Murou saw that article, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
How could this beHow is Lin Yueqi still alive? How could she still be alive?!
Normal people would not survive a single night but she managed to do it, and she was standing therepletely unharmed. She even seemed to be looking good?
Li Murou clenched her hands on her phone.
Where on earthdid it go wrong?
The author has something to say: Hopefully Qiqi gets drunk and falls into Old Lus arms.
Lin Yueqi, Bring it! Let the alcohole on strong!
Chapter 151 - Lu Ting’s desire to survive (1)
Ch.151 Lu Tings desire to survive(1)
Li Murous assistant noticed the sour look on her face and asked, Whats wrong, Boss?
Li Murou looked over and frowned for a moment. Did you pass the business card to Lu Ting?
The assistant shook her head. Recalling something, she said, Boss, since Lin Yueqi has eaten here before, it should be reasonable to say that she will find another way toe. Why dont you pass the name card to her and have her bring Lu Ting? Even though Mr. Lu has not acknowledged Lin Yueqi as his fiancee, from their participation in the show and their cohabitation, I believe their rtionship isnt bad.
Li Murounever thought that Lin Yueqi would be able to survive.
So where did things go wrong? Could it be her heroine halo?
Thats not possible. The Gourmet Culinary Goddess system can crush the auras of all main characters on earth, and it was due to how strong that ability is that it can only be used once. She thought that she could get Lin Yueqi to die from stuffing herself with that ability, then Lu Ting would be able to watch the woman die in a mess with his own eyes.
But now, all her hopes were crushed.
But she firmly believed that even if Lin Yueqi was not dead, she would stille to visit again and eat her food. Anyone who has eaten her food will keep thinking about it, because the food of Swallow Canteen is the best food theyve ever eaten in their minds.
Lin Yueqi is only an ordinary person. She wouldnt think that she had a Gourmet Culinary Goddess system.
Li Murou looked at the Film Emperor who was eating outside and finally put her emotions in order.
Even though she failed this time, that doesnt mean she will fail again and again.
Li Xiujie is Li Xings ace actor, and Li Xiujie will definitely bring Li Xing over once he has tried her food. Li Murou has been growing up in the Lu family since young. She knew the rtionship between Li Xing and Lu Ting. Those two are as close as brothers.
After trying her food, Li Xing will definitely bring Lu Ting over as well. Even if she could not hand her Swallow Canteen name card to Lu Ting, Lu Ting will find his way here sooner orter.
She believed that it would not take long.
Actually, with her rtionship with Lu Ting, she could have directly used her own name to pass the name card to Lu Ting, but she did not do that. The reason he asked her staff to do it was because she did not want Lu Ting to feel that she was doing this deliberately.
In the past few years, the old mans health has been deteriorating. Ever since Lu Ting took over the Qiancheng Group, the old man has moved abroad to retire. And, Li Murous father was the Lu familys head chef, so he also went abroad with the old man.
Li Murou had no talent for studying, but her talent in cooking was beyond the ordinary. After dropping out of school at sixteen, she has constantly been traveling the world, learning all kinds of dishes from chefs all around the world. She was willing to suffer and work hard, and her masters all loved her.
She is four years younger than Lu Ting.
When she was just a little kid, Li Murou had already begun learning various things.
The Lu family was small, and Old Man Lu was also a very sentimental person. He had insisted on using the same servants and chefs for all these years.
Li Murou has lived with her parents in the Lu family house for more than a decade. She had been born and raised in the Lu family. Like the other servants, she lived in the small building behind the Lu family home.
At eight years old, nobody cared even if she ran around the Lu family home due to her young age, and she would sometimes bump into Old Man Lu who was practicing his archery in the backyard. He would even beckon her over.
Chapter 152 - Lu Ting’s desire to survive (2)
Ch.152 Lu Tings desire to survive(2)
Old Man Lu was very fond of Li Murou since he favored the head chef very much. During the New Years holidays, when he would buy stationery and bags for Lu Ting, the old man would also ask people to buy some for the girl.
Li Murou studied in kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high. Thanks to Old Man Lus arrangements, all the schools she went to were noble schools.
When she was in her second year of middle school, Lu Ting was in his third year of high school.
During that time, the outside world did not know that Lu Ting was the heir of the Lu family, and since she often mentioned the Lu family in front of her ssmates, others often mistake her for the Lu familys young mistress.
Once, when Li Murou got into a fight at school, the principal contacted Old Man Lu directly. And it was also then that Li Murous impersonation of the Lu familys young mistress was exposed to Old Man Lu.
When Old Man Lu arrived at the school, he did not reveal her identity and was serious as always, saying to the principal in a stern tone, My granddaughter is very naughty, please discipline her properly in the future. Dont give her a pass because of me.
After that, the students and the teachers became even more certain that Li Murou was the Lu familys heiress.
For a while, Li Murou thought that the old man favored her and took her as his own granddaughter. It wasnt until she was kidnapped in high school did she finally wake up to the truth.
The kidnappers demanded 1.5 billion from the Lu family.
Lu Murou thought that with the old mans preference for her, he would definitely send over the ransom money. However, the old man did no such thing and reported the matter to the police while dering to the public: Li Murou is the daughter of his chef, not a Lu family member.
That time, even though Li Murou was rescued, she was also finally clear about one thing
Old Man Lus favor for her was never really that. This old box had been using her from start to end. To this rich man, she was just a shield for his grandson.
After Li Murous identity was exposed, her ssmates scorned her, the teachers scorned her. Due to her poor performance, she was persuaded to drop out by the school. After dropping out, she learned to cook from her father. Hiding the hatred she had for the old man, she stayed in the Lu family to be a chef.
Her skills were good. Both Old Man Lu and Lu Ting were fond of it. When Lu Ting went to university, she was worried that he would not be used to eating the school meals, so she went over to send him food a few times, and was even treated as Lu Tings girlfriend.
After keeping up with that for a year, she found that Lu Ting had never actually eaten a single bite of the food she brought over. He gave it all to his roommates at the dorm.
But she never gave up on bringing him food.
On that day, she waited a long time under Lu Tings dorm building, but Lu Ting never returned to the dorm. During that time, Lu Ting had always been staying at the dorm. He did not have a girlfriend, but he did not return to the dorm. So where did he go?
So, Li Murou asked a friend from the Public Security Bureau to find out where Lu Ting was. In the end, her friend found out that Lu Ting was at the hotel with a girl called Lin Yueqi.
Li Murou was heartbroken.
In order to break up Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi, she would deliberately talk about it in front of the gossipy maids that served Old Man Lu. The gossipydy had quite a high position in the Lu family and served the old man for a long time. Lu Ting also respected her very much.
Then, thedy would go around Old Man Lu and mention it in a roundabout way. Due to that, Lu Ting was sent overseas to study, and he had been staying in thepany overseas branch to train after graduating as well.

Ch.153 Lu Tings desire to survive(3)
At the same time, Li Murou was also working hard to improve herself. After leaving the Lu family, she went all around to seek mentorship. She was not afraid of hard work, the only thing she was afraid of was not having the ability to stand by Lu Tings side in the future.
The Lu family did notck good chefs. She had to be even better than those chefs, that way she will be able to stay by Lu Tings side for a lifetime.
When Li Murou returned, Old Man Lu and her father went overseas. For Lu Ting, she chose to stay.
At first, Lu Ting was still staying at the local Lu family manor, but soon after finding his daughter, he spent an exorbitant amount to rent Lin Yueqis vi, turning the old Lu manor empty, so there was no longer any reason for her to go back there.
A few months ago, she saw Lu Ting, his daughter, and Lin Yueqi together on a TV program as a family, causing quite a stir on the inte.
Li Murou did not understand. Why after so many years can Lin Yueqi still maintain Lu Tings favor? But it wasnt until she chanced upon the Gourmet Culinary Goddess system after a car ident that she got her answer.
Because Lin Yueqi is the female lead, and Lu Ting was the male lead of this world.
And she, on the other hand, was just cannon fodder.
Since the world is so unjust, why would she follow the rules of this world? She wanted to fight the heavens in this world and take fate into her own hands.
She can endure more hardships than others, so why cant she get the man every other girl dreams of?
What did Lin Yueqi deserve to get him? Why does she get to be the female lead? And why is she the supporting female character?
Li Murou had been in the Lu family for so many years that she had long taken the Lu family as her own, and she wanted to cook for Lu Ting for the rest of their lifetime.
However, she couldnt stand it if the madam of the house at the table was not her when she made breakfast for Lu Ting.
After the video about Lin Yueqi buying spicy sticks in front of the kindergarten broke free on the,izens were all joking around the same way:
Hahahahaha, damn it, Qiqi was just like me when I was trying to lose weight.
Qiqi, you have to work hard! Were waiting for a sessful diet, waiting for a sessfuleback!
The biggest obstacle to Lin Yueqis weight lossher daughters snacks.
Huh? So am I the only person bothered about when Mr. Lu is going to marry her? After all, their daughter is already grown up. Lu Ting should think about marrying her now, right? She wont think of not marrying her just because Lin Yueqi hasnt managed to lose weight yet, right? LMAO
Probably waiting for Lin Yueqi to give him a son. The Lu family has such a big business, how can they let a girl inherit it? The Lu family tree is running thin. If Lin Yueqi cant give birth to a son, then the old man wont let her into the door, right?
Why does a rich family have to have a son? Is this a royal session or what? Look how well behaved the daughter is! My heart goes out to the mama too. /(ToT)/~~
Comment above, it really is a royal session, hahahahaha!
Tuantuan is so cute, why cant she seed the throne? Let my Fat Tuan be Wu Zetian!
Theizens were discussing why Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting werent married yet. In the eyes of outsiders, the two peoples feelings have alreadye to fruition, but they do not know the real situation between Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting.
One is a square who doesnt know how to chase after girls. But hes always confident that this woman will definitely be his wife.
On the other hand, her memory stopped at seventeen years old and is thinking all day about how shes going to fight the female supporting leads. She never thought about dating or marriage at all.
Chapter 154 - Lu Ting’s desire to survive (4)
Ch.154 Lu Tings desire to survive(4)
In these few months, Lin Yueqi did not show up in front of theizens too much for the sake of filming. Even though she also became a popr topic, she wasnt as talked about as when she was constantly being scandalized.
Jiachen Media wasnt in a hurry to market her either.
For one, she hasnt seeded in losing weight yet, so the fewer reports there are about her during this period, the better. Once shes sessfully lost weight, then theyll put up PR articles online, tossing a big bomb down on theizens watching the show.
Secondly, she currently has two movies that have yet to be released. Marriage Outrage and Fat Girl Mama. The former has equestrianism as a theme and was a national support project. The other was a big IP with a high chance of making it big. So, the marketing wasnt the least bit worried about the decline in her traffic.
What mystified theizens is how the headlines of thest two days have nothing to do with stars, but of a food blogger called Swallow Murou.
This Swallow Murou would post videos every day and do live streams of her cooking process for her guests.
In the video, a girl around twenty years old wearing a chiffon dress will carry a bamboo basket each morning to pick the freshest vegetables from the vegetable field. Through the video, theizens can enjoy not only her beauty, but also the mountain scenery after living in the city for such a long time.
Her Swallow Canteen is a small cabin restaurant built on top of a mountain and surrounded by excellent scenery. Mist drifts through the mountain in the morning and both birdsong and insect calls mingle with the wind. In the evening, the sunset will bake the mountain hut a warm yellow, a sight as beautiful as paradise.
But none of the above is not the focus of the video.
The focus of her food content is, of course, the food. Li Murou was very serious in cooking and she was also very skilled with the knife. It was a dazzling sight to watch. When she made the dishes, each of them seemed to have special effects, and it almost seemed as if you could smell the fragrance through the screen.
Such excellent food visuals simr to a gourmet feast made it hard to stop watching.
Li Murous food videos immediately became popr on the as soon as it was released.
#BestGourmet# and #MysteriousChef# instantly became trending keywords.
After watching the videos,izens were eager to try the dishes in the video and they all began searching for Swallow Canteens address.
Unfortunately, none of them could find the true address of Swallow Canteen. The existence of this restaurant was just like Shangri La.
Very soon, a famous director and the Film Emperor Li Xiujie reposted the blog of Swallow Li Murou.
Director Zhang Zhen V: Miss Lis cooking skills are superb. I wonder when Ill be able to try Miss Lis food again. [Thumbs Up]
Li Xiujie V: Ive never eaten such delicious food in my life. [Thumbs Up]
After these two entertainment celebrities posted that, theizens became even more curious about how good this Swallow Li Murous cooking skills really are.
Netizens:
Ahhhh! I wanna eat the goddesss food! Begging for the address!
The goddess really is a goddess. Even the restaurant has an ethereal feeling.
Want to eat QAQGoddess, begging for the restaurant address!
Stop begging you guys. Just now Film Emperor Li said it when he responded to a screenwriter. You have to make a reservation if you want to go to this Swallow Canteen. You definitely have to be rich if you want to go to that ce so stop thinking about it.
Swallow Canteen exploded in poprity on the. And, with free advertising from the Film Emperor, even more people wanted to try the food.
Li Xing also watched Li Murous videos, and he just couldnt shake how familiar this girl felt.
Chapter 155 - Lu Ting’s desire to survive (5)
Ch.155 Lu Tings desire to survive(5)
After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered who this girl was. Isnt thisThe chefs daughter at Old Lus ce? Her original name isnt Li Murou. Its Li Rou.
Li Xingmented the importance of a name.
Only one word was added, and instantly it felt as if she had ascended from a side character to the female lead.
Li Xing just happened to receive the Swallow Canteens business card from Film Emperor Li.
Anyone who gets the name card is qualified to make a reservation. Of course, Li Xing couldnt eat alone, so he called Lu Tings family of three as well. He didnt expect that not only did Lu Ting bring Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan, he even brought along that idiot with him.
Li Xing had been scared out of his mind by Jiang Mucheng. The way she was drooling and cocking her head at him was still lingering in his mind.
Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting got out of the car first.
After Tuantuan jumped off the car, she turned around and extended a hand to Jiang Mucheng in the car. Big Sister Cheng! Come down quickly, were at the food ce!
Jiang Mucheng got out of the car while holding her bulky ckptop.
While holding theputer tightly in one hand, she took the little girls hand with the other. One big and one small, they came to Li Xing hand in hand.
Li Xing hooked his arm around Lu Tings shoulder and dragged him to the side, whispering, Old Lu, whyd you bring that idiot with you as well?
Lu Ting frowned and reprimanded him quietly, You really have the potential to be a scum man. Shes Lin Yueqis friend. She has a name.
Li Xing stole a nce at Jiang Mucheng. The girl met his gaze and let out a stupid looking smile.
Li Xing felt a pang of pain in his head and raised his hand to rub his brow. Then, he waved to them all and said, Come on, follow me.
This was Lin Yueqis second visit to the Swallow Canteen. She and the others changed their slippers and entered the restaurant, just to find that it was empty with no other guests but them.
After they were seated, Li Murou came over, smiled at everyone, and greeted them, eyes fixed on Lu Ting.
Li Murou wore a light-colored qipao with long ck hair coiled up with solid wooden chopsticks. It was a simple get up, but it gave off an out of ordinary feeling. Her hair was all bundled up, revealing her delicate features, giving her a very spirited look.
A light smile appeared at the corner of her lips and her eyes seemed to be glittering. Brother Lu, long time no see. Youve lost weight.
As soon as the girls voice emerged, the threedies at the table all swept their eyes over at Lu Tings face.
Lu Ting could sense the murder in Lin Yueqi and Tuantuans eyes.
Lin Yueqi was looking straight at him, and he could seriously feel a great sense of killing power behind that gaze. The little girl Tuantuan was even frowning as she squinted at him. A silent killer was deadlier than a loud one.
This mother and daughter seemed to be reminding him with their eyes: You are now a man with a woman youre chasing after. You have to keep a distance from other women.
After receiving their gaze and imagining everything else, he quietly noted down the important points in his mind.
As a man, he has to pay attention to the exam questions and answer them carefully.
Lu Ting picked up his cup and poured himself a cup of tea silently before raising his eyes to look at Li Murou, expression light. Are we close?
Li Xing was drinking water when he choked. He coughed violently a few times and tried his best to hold back hisughter.
Seriously, Old Lus desire to survive is real strong.
Chapter 156 - Everyone is acting, except for me (1)
Ch.156 Everyone is acting, except for me(1)
To prepare for their reunion today, Li Murou had taken care to dress up and intended to appear in the most stunning way possible. At least, she had to crush Lin Yueqi who had not yet managed to lose weight yet with her aura alone.
But she did not expect Lu Ting to say such words.
Her body stiffened and for a moment, she had no idea what to say. After being speechless for a moment, she finally said, YouBrother Ting, dont you remember me? Im Rourou.
While drinking water, Lin Yueqi was eyeing the self-righteous Supporting Female Li who was being possessed by a film spirit right now.
Without needing to mention anything else, scheming types like these arent Old Lus cup of tea anyway.
The little chubby girl and Jiang Mucheng looked at each other, both rubbing their arms. They couldnt help but shiver.
Tuantuan did not like how Li Murou was talking to her father. She mmed her little palms on the table and said to her in a warning tone, Auntie, my Papa is called Lu Ting, not Brother Ting! Can you not talk to Papa like that? Papa is a serious Papa. Other than Mama, he wont look at any other auntie.
Looking at the little girl, Li Murou suppressed the difort in her heart.
But Jiang Mucheng just had to pout at this moment and say, Thats right! Other than Sis Lin, he wont look at any other auntie! So Auntie, just give up!
Jiang Mucheng said while imitating Tuantuans tone.
Pff Li Xing could not stop himself from spitting out his water. Is the world of women always this exciting?
Li Murou was so angry that it felt like her chest was wrenching together.
A little girl calling her auntie was enough, but why is this old woman calling her auntie? Li Murou looked at Lin Yueqi. She knew that she arranged all this. She felt extremely depressed right now, but she had to keep up her manners.
Lu Ting put the tea cup down and spoke casually, yet his attitude was distant. Li Rou, Uncle Lis daughter. I heard you dropped out of school and went to other ces to learn cooking. I didnt expect you to open this store now though.
Li Murou breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Thats right, Brother Ting. How have you been doing these years?
The current her was already an inte celebrity. Film emperors, directors, theyre now her diners and they all praised her food. She earned a lot of good money with her food and she believes that she is now good enough to stand by Lu Tings side.
Lu Ting sat upright and looked at the girls delighted gaze, saying, Were not that close, are we? You can call me Mr. Ting just like my staff or you may call me Lu Ting.
Li Xing, Old Lu, your desire to survive is really up there.
But in Li Xings memories, Lu Ting never really liked this girl that much. In high school, when Li Xing would go over to Lu Tings house for tennis, this girl would always sit on the court and look at Lu Ting from afar. People could see what Li Murou thought of him, but Lu Ting never epted the girls feelings.
Even though they lived in the same house, Lu Ting kept a very perfunctory attitude towards this girl.
Both before and now, it was not hard to see that Li Murous attitude towards Lu Ting was a bit off. It was definitely not the feeling of reuniting friends, but rather, a kind of naked provocation to Lin Yueqi, the real girlfriend.
When Lu Ting said those words, he even nced over at Lin Yueqi, as if to ask for merits.
Lin Yueqi was puzzled when she caught the mans gaze.
She remembers that Lu Ting and Li Murou grew up in the same house, right? Theyre still considered childhood friends at the very least, arent they? Isnt that close enough?
She was only confused. She couldnt guess what Lu Ting was thinking at all.
Because of Lu Tings words, Li Murou had clearly be the most embarrassed person in this world. Her mouth twitched and she put on a standard hospitality smile while speaking in a gentle tone. Please sit for a moment, I will go prepare your dishes.
When Li Murou left, everyones eyes were fixed on Lu Tings face.
Tuantuan got up and grabbed Lu Tings ear, twisting it 180 degrees like a rotary switch. She huffed and said, Papa, be honest! Who is that auntie just now? A lenient punishment if you confess, strict if you resist! Otherwise, forget about your ears. Tuantuan is going to feed your ear to Granny Moon!
Chapter 157 - Everyone is acting, except for me (2)
Ch.157 Everyone is acting, except for me(2)
Lu Ting was very cooperative with the little girl. He tilted his head over and put his hands together to beg for mercy. That is your grandfathers chefs daughter. Papa really doesnt know her well.
Tuantuan raised a brow. Really?
Yeah. Lu Ting pinched her nose and said, Of course its true.
Dont look at how serious Lu Ting usually is. In front of a child, even his voice and actions can turn childish like them.
Jiang Mucheng was sitting right next to Lin Yueqi. Thetter hooked her shoulder and whispered almost right by her ear, Old Cheng, your Old Qi is about to get pped in the face by someone. You really wont consider writing something on yourputer?
She was deliberately trying to urge Jiang Mucheng on. Through her observation of Jiang Mucheng in these recent days, she found that despite Jiang Muchengs mental state regressing, she wasntpletely insensible. As long as you keep on repeating sentences in her ear, constantly refreshing her memory of it, then she should be able to write down aplete sentence on herputer.
Lin Yueqi put her arms around her and whispered in her ear, looking very intimate.
Nobody at the table could hear what the two girls were whispering about. Li Xing moved towards Lu Ting and bumped the mans waist with his elbow, whispering, Hey Old Lu, do you still remember your love rival?
He nodded. Of course he remembers.
Lin Yueqi never epted him all this while because of his love rival that was hiding in the shadows. However, no matter how much he investigated it these past few months, he couldnt figure out who it was.
Li Xing was practically biting Lu Tings ears when he said, You know what, Im damn well suspecting your love rival isnt a man at all
Lu Tings expression changed and his heart dropped.
This was a pretty serious situation, Li Xing figured. So, he hooked his arms around his shoulder and patted it sympathetically. Old Lu, I really pity you, you know? It turns out that they were only sleeping with you to preserve the next generation huh
Lu Ting frowned and red at him, lowering his angry voice, What the hell are you saying?
From the look in his eyes alone, Li Xing knew he was about to blow his top. He quickly threw his hands in submission and said, Alright alright, Im just talking crap. The chubby little girl is the product of your love.
Lu Ting looked at Lin Yueqi and Jiang Mucheng who were sitting across from him. The way these two girls were whispering in each other ears really did seem that way.
When Lu Ting met Lin Yueqis eyes, they both smiled at each other.
Lin Yueqi muttered inwardly to herself, Lu Ting and Li XingNo matter how you look at them, they look like a pair. To think two men would huddle together and gossip. Theycant be gay, right?
Taking in the scene of her Papa whispering with Uncle Li and her Mama whispering with Big Sis Jiang, Tuantuan pouted and crossed her arms, huffing a few times. Neither of you love Tuantuan anymore!
Lin Yueqi quickly went over to coax her. Wah, how could anyone not love the super duper cute Miss Tuan? Tuan-jie, do you remember what Qiqi told you before you came?
Tuantuan clenched her fist and hammered her own chest. I remember! Dont worry, Qiqi. Tuantuan always keeps Qiqis words in her heart!
Hearing this from the girl, Lin Yueqi felt slightly relieved.
Lin Yueqi had known that Li Murou would make a move on Tuantuan and Lu Ting, but she never expected it toe this fast. She had originally wanted to stop the father and daughter froming here to eat so that they wouldnt fall into Li Murous trap.
But when she saw how popr Li Murou was on the, she immediately dismissed the idea of stopping them froming to Swallow Canteen.
Humans are strange. The more you cant get something, the more youll want it. When Lu Ting finds out that all his friends have eaten at Swallow Canteen, he would definitely have many thoughts in his mind if he didnt try it. On the other hand, Tuantuan was a little foodie herself and she also browsed Weibo. One day or another, shell find Li Murous food videos.
If she strongly prevented the father and daughter toe eat at Swallow Canteen, it would make them want to rebel instead. With Lu Tings tendency to spoil his daughter, hell definitely secretly bring her here to eat behind her back.
Chapter 158 - Everyone is acting, except for me (3)
Ch.158 Everyone is acting, except for me(3)
If she tells Lu Ting about Li Murous system, then the realist Mr. Lu will definitely send her to the mental hospital, right?
So, Lin Yueqi decided to bring this daughter and pair openly to eat here and reached an agreement with them. In the future, they have to bring her if they evere to Swallow Canteen.
If youre gonna eat, then enjoy the food together. If youre gonna drink, then enjoy the wine together. The family has to be full and together.
QAQ.
Li Murou prepared steamed y pot chicken for them.
The chicken is steamed in a ceramic pot and was mainly cooked with the steaming technique. This dish is good for nourishing qi and strengthening the stomach and spleen, so it was perfect as a family meal. Considering that they had a child with them, Li Murou had specifically chosen this dish for them.
This dish had high requirements for the chicken. It cant be too thin or itll be dry, too fat and itll be tasteless. However, the steamed y pot chicken that Li Murou makes uses a fat and plump chicken, yet it was very tasteful with a unique recipe. And, with her Gourmet Culinary Goddess Systems optimization, the dish became extremely delicious.
Li Murou personally brought the pot to the table and uncovered it for them.
Other than Lu Ting, the others were dumbfounded when they saw the food inside. Once the ceramic lid was lifted, it felt like all of them were hallucinating at the same time. There seemed to be an alluring shine emerging from the pot. In that instant, everyone seemed to be fascinated by that luster. After the visual amazement passed, the smell of the chicken entered their noses.
Everyone had been hungry to begin with, and with the smell attacking their noses, their stomachs all began rumbling with hunger.
Lin Yueqi had the experience of having the Gourmet Culinary Goddess system invade her senses, so this time, the impact she felt was clearly much less thanst time. Compared tost time, this felt just like a small itch to scratch.
Last time, that extremely tempting three-way scent attack was irresistible for an ordinary person like her.
But this time, even though the food was fragrant, she could still endure the urge by gritting her teeth. But she knew that the food this time wont cause her direct harm. At the very most, there would be alcohol in the soup that will make her drunk.
But since Lu Ting was immune to the Gourmet Culinary Goddess system, it wouldnt do anything to him even if there was alcohol in there. Lu Ting had always been a very steady man. If they fell over drunk, hell definitely take care of them properly.
When she thought of this, Lin Yueqi happily began enjoying the food.
Lu Ting swept his eyes across the table. Something felt very wrong to him.
Tuantuans eyes were shining when she looked at the chicken. Woah, Papa, look! This chicken is glowing!
Jiang Mucheng scooped up a bit of the soup and her tastebuds were practically overtaken by the refreshing taste. She had never had such amazing food in her life and overflowed with emotion. Sob sob sob sob Her brain was turning very quickly at the moment, and the food was so good that she couldnt speak.
After taking a bite, Li Xing actually shed tears. He, the president of Jiachen Media, actually covered his mouth and howled. ThisThis chicken thats emitting the seven colors of the rainbow has the taste of my grandmothers cooking!
Lu Ting grew up with him. He knew how deeply Li Xing felt about his grandmother.
But just as he was about to dig in, he heard Lin Yueqi saying uncontrobly, Thats too damn goodIm just so spineless, sob sob sobTo think I actually tasted the noodles my aunt made me! I have to properly enjoy this super peerless amazing food. I have to savor it bite by bite.
Though she said thus, Lin Yueqis mind was very sober. Even though the food was absolutely delicious, it wouldnt make her lose herself like it didst time.
She knew very well that the food wouldnt cause her direct harm this time, nor would it make her addicted as if she had been drugged. So, she went along with it and enjoyed the fruits of Li Murousbor, savoring this rare blessing for her tummy.
When he heard what they said, Lu Tings suspicions grew deeper.
He looked at the pot on the table but he couldnt find anything special about it, much less any light or whatevering out of itHe picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of chicken, putting it in his mouth, and tasting it carefully.
Chapter 159 - Everyone is acting, except for me (4)
Ch.159 Everyone is acting, except for me(4)
Isnt this normal y pot chicken? Lu Ting who was used to eating all sorts of precious and expensive foods the world could offer sincerely felt that this chicken tasted just normal.
He looked at everyones exaggerated expressions and listened their praises, and even began to wonder if Li Murou had paid them off.
Li Murou was standing respectfully in front of the table. Lu Ting looked up at her and the emotions in his eyes wereplicated.
He had no idea what this girl thought about him, but he had also refused her very straightforwardly many times. Still, she kept on trying. Lu Ting was beginning to wonder if this girl had used some means to buy off Li Xing, Lin Yueqi, his daughter, and Jiang Mucheng.
The reason Li Murou was doing this was to garner his favor, right? But she probably didnt realize that their overacting would make him suspicious instead.
Lu Ting was very curious at what Li Murou had done. How on earth was she able to convince Lin Yueqi and the chubby girl?
When he thought of this, Lu Ting took a sip of water and his frown grew deeper and deeper. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this Li Murou girl was terrifying and sinister.
Li Murou met Lu Tingsplicated gaze, and in an instant, all the displeasure in her heart flew away.
Even though Lu Ting did not say anything, she could sense his obsession with food from his eyes.
Li murou had added alcohol to the food. After they finished the pot, they would be drunk out of their minds while she will be able to take the opportunity to do a variety of things.
She knew very well what tactics Lin Yueqi used back then, and she also nned to do just the same. She will get them drunk, then have Li Xing sleep together with Lin Yueqi.
After all, which man could tolerate seeing his best friend sleep with his girlfriend?
Half an hourter, Tuantuan fell asleep on the tatami mat while rubbing her tummy. On the other hand, Jiang Mucheng couldnt withstand the alcohol and slept soundly with her head on the table.
Meanwhile, the alcohol had gone to Li Xings mind and he began throwing a drunken fit in Swallow Canteen. He even climbed on top of the counter and sang Single Love Song.
The waiters wanted to pull him down, but they were all kicked away as he continued letting his sorrows out in his singing. On his high, he didnt forget to point at Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting. All my buddies down there, get high!
Li Murou subconsciously rubbed her temples. This mess was simply mind-splitting. She continued looking at Lu Tings direction. That man didnt seem to be affected at all.
While she was pondering about it, Li Xing jumped down from the bar and kicked Li Murou down. After that, he didnt forget to point at her and say, You demon spirit! Let my grandfather go!
Li Murou fell towards the dining table and just happened tond right next to Lin Yueqi.
The red-faced Lin Yueqi burped and giggled, reaching out to grab her hair and mmed her to the ground. Together with Li Xing, she shouted, Demon spirit! Let my master go!
Li Murou was stunned by the sudden beating. With the help of a waiter, she managed to escape from Lin Yueqis clutches.
The waiter immediately said, Boss, Ill go call security!
What were you doing just now?! Li Murou rubbed her bruised forehead. Her face looked extremely terrible. With a heavy heart, she turned to Lu Ting again, but the man still looked unresponsive.
He was looking indifferently at Li Xing and Lin Yueqi in their drunken stupor.
When four security guards came in, Lu Ting mmed his ss of water onto the table. Enough! How much longer are you all going to keep the act up for?!
At the mans yell, the two stopped instantly.
Lin Yueqi and Li Xing both looked at Lu Ting and burped.
After a moment of silence, Lin Yueqi suddenly became teary-eyed, looking very pitiful. She mored over to Lu Ting and hugged the mans waist, constantly nuzzling his chest.
She wailed startlingly, Papa, I miss you so much!
Lu Ting,
Compliantly, he wrapped his arm around Lin Yueqi, stroking the back of the girls head tofort her while raising his eyes to Li Murou.
Eventually, Lu Ting couldnt stand it any longer and frowned. Miss Li, you should know that trying to scheme will only backfire on yourself.
The author has something to say: Lu Ting, Everyone is acting, except for me. :)
Chapter 160 - Ambiguous attack (1)
Ch.160 Ambiguous attack(1)
Lin Yueqi burped in Lu Tings arms. With her chin on the mans chest, she raised her head up to look at him, hooking her arms around his neck and giggling, Some people just cant help but try, you know?
With her arms around his neck, the girl wrapped her long legs around his waist, just like that night on that one fateful year.
Lu Tings ears went red, but they were right in front of Li Murou, so he had no choice but to sit still like Tang Sanzang. Meanwhile, the naughty Lin Yueqi was just like the spirit that was constantly molesting Tang Sanzang.
Li Murou felt much disdain for the bitchy Lin Yueqi, but she still put on an innocent appearance. What are you saying, Brother Ting? I dont understand.
When he saw the girl continuing to y dumb, Lu Ting couldnt even be bothered to pay attention to her. He fished out his phone and made a call, asking his assistant and driver toe up the mountain.
As soon as he put his phone back into his pocket, Lin Yueqi hooked her arms around his neck and leapt while pulling up, wrapping her arms around the mans waist and hanging off of himpletely.
Lu Ting, Faced with the rascal behavior of this woman, he could only hold up her hips helplessly so that she would not fall.
Li Murou looked at Lin Yueqi who was deliberately using the alcohol to go wild and immediately smiled again at Lu Ting. Brother Ting, Ill get someone to help Miss Lin to the lounge to get some rest. Its already sote, why dont you stay on the mountain tonight? Ill arrange it for you.
No need. Lu Ting held Lin Yueqi who was hanging off of him and his eyes were filled with indifference and irritance. I dont know what youre trying to do or what kind of tricks you used to get them toply with you in this little y, but please, Miss Li. Have some self-awareness and dont have any funny thoughts. Dont go overboard.
Li Murou smiled awkwardly. She had no idea where things had gone wrong for her. However, she still kept on desperately, Brother Ting, is there some misunderstanding between us? What makes you think that I had anything to do with them being this way?
At this moment, Li Murou had no idea how she was going to exin to Lu Ting.
Her original n was to get Lu Ting drunk out of his mind as well. If Lu Ting was also drunk, then she would have been able to carry out her n wlessly. She wouldnt have to give any exnation to anyone.
After all, you couldnt taste or detect any alcohol in her word. She only had to find an excuse, and with the impact of Lin YUeqi and Li Xing sleeping together in the same bed, Lu Ting wouldnt suspect her at all.
But now, not only was Lu Ting not drunk after eating her food, but even had such an attitude towards her and questioning her in such a tone, it was clear that something had gone wrong.
Could it be? Lu Ting knows that she has the powerful golden finger, the Gourmet Culinary Goddess system?
No, its impossible. It just doesnt make sense.
Lu Ting is only a normal male lead in this world. How would he have any golden fingers? Thinking of this point, Li Murou immediately thought of how her Gourmet Hunger Syndrome had no effect on Lin Yueqi, and with these oddities, began to feel suspicious of her own Gourmet Culinary Goddess system.
Could it be that her Gourmet Culinary Goddess system was ineffective against the male and female leads? But after thinking about it, it was impossible. Lin Yueqi had clearly gotten drunk after eating her food. If it was ineffective, how could she find her dishes delicious? And why did she be drunk?
SoWhat really is going on in the end?
Doubt began to block Li Murous thoughts, leaving her frozen in ce and unable to think.
Right now, she was filled with awkwardness standing before Lu Ting. She didnt know what she could say either. Li Murou had wanted to leave a good impression on Lu Ting during tonights reunion, but now it seems that not only has she failed to leave a good impression on the other man, but instead made him suspicious of herself.
Li Murous Gourmet Culinary Goddess system is different from Qin Xue and Jiang Mucheng. Her system does not have the ability to think for itself and can only send out electronic prompts. Unlike the other two systems, it alsocked the ability to try andpel the minds of others.
Chapter 161 - Ambiguous attack (2)
Ch.161 Ambiguous attack(2)
Even if this system had the ability to think, it would definitely be led by the nose by Li Murou. She was different from Qin Xue and Jiang Mucheng who suffered from low self-esteem, she was proud to her bones and never felt inferior in front of anyone else.
On the contrary, she always confidently believed that she was the center of the world. She was born different from ordinary people. She believed that she was the protagonist of this world.
Lu Tings assistant brought two drivers up to the mountain.
When the assistant entered the building and saw the restaurant in a mess, he also felt very puzzled. He hadpletely no idea what had gone on here.
The fat girl Tuantuan was sleeping sweetly on the tatami mat, and would let out a soft snore as she exhaled. On the other hand, that simple-minded scriptwriter Jiang Mucheng was lying asleep on the table.
On the other hand, Li Xing, who was just climbing up and down the bar earlier and causing a ruckus, was now lying on top of the tatami mat and had fallen asleep in a very embarrassing position.
The assistant picked up the girl first. Tuantuans brows loosened slightly, and very soon, she went back to sleep on the assistants shoulder.
Jiang Mucheng and Li Xing were grabbed by the drivers and brought to the car.
When they were just about to reach the cars, Li Xing suddenly woke up and burped at the drivers face before looking around at everyone with dazed eyes.
His eyes were set on Jiang Mucheng. Pushing away the driver who was holding her, he carried the silly girl and shouted at the driver, Who said you could pick up my silly kitty?! Noone is allowed to hold my little silly!
Driver, ????
Lu Ting walked out of the restaurant with Lin Yueqi wrapped around his body. When he saw Li Xing going on a drunken rampage while carrying Jiang Mucheng, he felt his head throbbing with pain.
It felt like he was bringing a group of special children out to dinner and he was the old father who no had all his temper squeezed out of him.
Lu Ting shoved Lin Yueqi into the car first before turning back to forcefully separate Li Xing and Jiang Mucheng with the driver.
Holding back Li Xing, he pped him across the cheek. Wake up! Sillys at home.
Silly is a cat that Li Xing was raising. It always acted in silly ways so that was why Li Xing gave it this name. Being woken up by the noise, Jiang Mucheng rubbed her eyes. It felt like there was ayer of fog covering her eyes. Everything she looked at looked hazy.
Her clear eyes were pressed with confusion, making her appear even more like the cat Li Xing had at home. Li Xing still wanted to make noise, but Lu Ting straightened his palm like a de and forcefully karate-chopped his neck.
The drunken Li Xing was smacked unconscious by Lu Ting and fell limp into his arms. Lu Ting shoved Li Xing into another car and put all these crazy people in ce.
On the way down the mountain, Lu Ting looked down at Tuantuan who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and then he looked at Lin Yueqi. Thinking back to Li Xing and Jiang Muchengs states, he realized that this was no act. If everyone was acting, then their acting skills would truly be formidable. Even winning the Oscars would be no problem.
Li Xings crazed state was exactly the same as when he gets drunk.
Because he had the habit of going crazy with alcohol, Lu Ting rarely went out drinking with him. Li Xing was aware that he wasnt good with alcohol, so he was very restrained in terms of drinking.
Looking at Lin Yueqi again, her current state was exactly the same as when she had gotten drunk that night a few years ago. She kept on rubbing herself against him like a naughty, clingy little kitten. She was very clearly drunk as well.
But they didnt have any alcohol tonight, so how did they get drunk? All of them ate the same food, so why didnt he have the same reaction?
Everything that happened tonight was inexplicably strange, especially the way Li Murou looked at him. It was as if she was confident that whatever she wanted was already in her grasp. Who knows where that amazing confidence came from.
Even though Lu Ting could not figure that out, he could guess Li Murous purpose.
What happened tonight had to have something to do with her. Isnt she just doing this to gain his favor?
Lu Ting scoffed.
Chapter 162 - Ambiguous attack (3)
Ch.162 Ambiguous attack(3)
As soon as the mans evil scoff ended, Lin Yueqi began nudging at him again and reached out to pinch the mans mouth, squeezing it into the shape of a ducks beak.
Due to the alcohol, her face had turned all red and she looked rather stupid. Little white ducky domineering president, so cute
Little White Duck is one of the main characters of an animation called We Bare Ducks, a show suitable for both young and old alike. It tells the story of three ducks living in the city. The Little White Ducks setting is that of a quiet and all-round talented domineering president who was not only an inventor but also great at cooking.
Little White Duck has two brothers, ck Duck and Yellow Duck. Compared to the two other ducks, the role of the Little White Duck was very well-received, and was a character loved not only by children, but also young women.
Whenever Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan watched this show together, Tuantuan would sigh:
This Little White Duck is just like Papa Lu Ting. Hes cold to outsiders and quiet, but to the ck Duck and Yellow Duck, he has iparable tenderness.
The Little ck Duck was just like Lin Yueqi. Lively, active, and loved Tuantuan and Lu Ting to her bones.
The Little Yellow Duck is Tuantuan, of course. It had a childish character, but was also the cutest. It was the most well-liked by passers-by.
Whenever the mother and daughter pair watched this movie, Lu Ting who was sipping on a cup of coffee at the sofa would have a face full of contempt.
He was stable and unperturbed on the surface, but inwardly, he hadined at the animation more than a hundred times.
What kind of bullshit is this? Three ducks living in the city? And ducks can also invent robots and cook for humans? Ducks can even bepany presidents and talk like people? They can even have crushes on humans and go after human girls?
Bullshit, heh.
Lu Ting was really worried that one day Tuantuan would bring a duck back and tell him, Papa this is my boyfriend, Ducky. Please look after him in the future.
Lu Ting, At the moment, Lu Ting was holding his daughter with one arm while dealing with Lin Yueqis attacks with a frown on his face. He turned his face over and pped the back of Lin Yueqis hand, icy tone almost squeezed out from his teeth, Lin Yueqi, dont get ahead of yourself.
A red mark immediately appeared on the back of her fair hand after that p.
She pouted, feeling aggrieved, and looked at him with red and teary eyes. Ducky hit Qiqi! Ducky hit Qiqi!
She followed the girls example and held her round belly, pping it like a drum and saying with a pout, Qiqi is so heartbroken!
Are you possessed?
Bad Ducky! Hmph! Lin Yueqis face was flushed. Crossing her arms, she turned to the window.
The silence in the car was interrupted after she let out another burp. Then, she turned back around and moved her hand to Lu Tings face. Qiqis hand hurts! Blow on it!
Lu Ting frowned and he kept a stern tone. Can you be any more pretentious?
Lin Yueqi really did go too over with her tone. Tears of being used instantly flowed down. Bad Ducky!
Lu Ting could confirm that this person really was drunk. Even though he had no idea how she had gotten drunk, she had to be drunk with this state. Lu Ting had the driver drive over to the hospital. He was nning to get Lin Yueqi and the others a full body examination.
The drunken Lin Yueqi continued her fit and said obstinately, Blow on it!
Lu Ting gave her a sidelong nce and then looked down at the girls hand. In the end, he finally pushed up his cheeks and gave it a blow.
But Lin Yueqi wouldnt stop at that. Not enough! Blow more!
Even though a certain big boss wasnt too happy, he had no choice but to puff up his cheeks and give her four blows. When he noticed the driver peeping through the rearview mirror, he immediately resumed his serious image.
Lin Yueqi was feeling great satisfaction after getting a blow from Big Boss Lu. Holding his arm, she cocked her head over and leaned down on his shoulder. Ducky is the best, nobody can snatch Ducky Hubby from me!
We Bare Ducks is loved by young girls and there are also many of White Ducks female fans that affectionately refer to it as Hubby.
Lu Ting couldnt even feel angry at her anymore. Fine, so be it. If Ducky makes her happy then Ducky it is.
Chapter 163 - Ambiguous attack (4)
Ch.163 Ambiguous attack(4)
Once at the hospital, the nurses wheeled the three people in on stretchers and did a series of tests on them. Its true they really were drunk, but Lu Ting kept on telling the doctor that they didnt take any alcohol at all.
Before leaving Swallow Canteen, Lu Ting had specifically asked his assistant to take the pot of y pot chicken away to doboratory tests.
But even the most advanced instruments were not able to analyze any alcohol from the food, which is to say that them getting drunk off the food can be ruled out.
Aftering out of the hospital, Lu Ting had someone send Li Xing and Jiang Mucheng home while he took Lin Yueqi and the girl home.
When they arrived at home, Lin Yu was still awake. When she saw Lu Ting carrying Lin Yueqi in, she quickly rushed over to ask, Whats wrong with Qiqi? Did she drink alcohol?
Yeah. Lu Ting had no idea how he was going to exin it to Lin Yu, so he just said yes for now.
Lin Yu took over the chubby Tuantuan from the assistants arms and immediately rebuked Lu Ting, Youre a man, whats wrong with you? Youve been with Qiqi since the two of you were in college. Dont you know how badly she takes alcohol? She definitely goes crazy when she drinks. Its like shes a whole other person. You have to pay attention next time. Dont let her drink too much, got it?
Sorry Aunty Lin, I will do better in the future.
Lin Yu nodded and said, Ill send Tuantuan upstairs to rest. You should quickly bring her back into the room and sleep too. Its better if the two of you sleep together tonight. Qiqi has a habit of kicking away the covers when shes drunk and its been getting colder these days. Shell definitely catch a cold. You already have a child together, so whatre you still being shy about? Go on, you youngsters
Lu Ting actually had no words to say.
He carried Lin Yueqi upstairs, put her down on the bed, and began changing her clothes. But halfway through unbuttoning her clothes, he stopped again. Something just feels wrong about this.
Lu Ting looked at Lin YUeqi who was still covered in makeup and was worried that she would feel ufortable sleeping that way, so he went to the bathroom to get a washcloth, makeup remover, and some cotton swabs.
When he returned to the bedroom, he sat on the bed and put Lin Yueqis head on hisp, then he began taking off her makeup.
Lu Ting doesnt wear makeup, but Li Xing was a skincare and makeup freak. After knowing him for such a long time, he more or less got some knowledge of makeup and naturally knows that sleeping with makeup on was bad for the skin and clogs pores.
He poured the makeup remover onto the washcloth, and after wetting itpletely, ced it gently on the girls face and began wiping.
Very soon, the clean washcloth turned into the color of foundation.
After removing Lin Yueqis makeup, Lu Ting dipped a cotton swab in eye makeup remover oil and began removing her eye makeup. He was a meticulous person to begin with, so he was very gentle when helping her remove her makeup. He was as gentle as when he was helping the fat girl tie up pigtails and putting her socks on.
He waspletely unaware that he was doing all this for Lin Yueqi with a smile on his lips, as if doing this was more interesting than putting on cute little socks for the little girl.
After taking away the makeup on Lin Yueqis face, Lu Ting squeezed some face wash onto his hands, foamed it up, and began the final step of cleansing.
His long, slender fingers, circled along the tip of her nose, around her eyes, her cheeks, and chin in gentle motions, and the foam on his fingertips followed along as well. Lu Ting suddenly thought that this was fun and yed around with the bubbles on her face for more than ten minutes until it was dry before he reluctantly wiped it clean for her.
After cleansing, Lu Ting brought some lotion over for some face moisturizing.
After the lotion emulsified in his palm, he patted it on Lin Yueqis cheeks. Lin Yueqis face is slightly chubby now so it felt good to pat it. The red scars on her face have also grown very light. If you didnt look too closely, you wouldnt be able to tell where the scars were at all.
Chapter 164 - Ambiguous attack (5)
Ch.164 Ambiguous attack(5)
Even though her face was a lot pudgier than before, Lu Ting felt that her flesh was now particrly firm and it gave him a great sense of security.
But he knew in his heart that Lin Yueqi was infected with Qin Xues fat disease, which is unhealthy fat. In order for it to not affect her health, he had to help her thin down.
Lu Ting really was in love with the feeling of her cheeks and couldnt help but pinch them.
Lin Yueqi was almost sober now and was sleeping soundly, yet she was squeezed awake by his hands.
When she opened her eyes and met the amused gaze of the man, she subconsciously frowned. Then, she caught the mans wrist. Lu Ting, what are you doing?
That action and tone of voice almost sounded like she had caught him cheating red-handed.
The smile in Lu Tings eyes froze instantly and returned to his previous serious look. Without a change in his expression, he responded, Washing your face.
Lin Yueqi sat up and kicked him in the chest. You think my face is for squeezing?!
Lu Ting caught her ankle quickly and urately. It does feel pretty nice.
You! Lin Yueqi was pissed and she wanted to pull her leg back, but she was still weak from the effects of the alcohol. After a long while, she finally squeezed out, Ill lose weight!
Lu Tingughed. Its good to have that awareness.
It was 12 in the morning. Lu Murous next guest was about to arrive.
The person who wasing is the managing director of the National Radio and Television Administration, Wei Chengguang. Li Murous Weibo page had been dominated by the Swallow Canteen during the past few days. He was eager toe and try what the Swallow Canteens gourmet foods were like.
But unexpectedly, just as he was thinking of that, he received the Swallow Canteens name card and obtained the rights to make a reservation. It was very difficult to make a reservation at Swallow Canteen, and he had reserved the 1 am slot.
When Wei Chengguang arrived, the ce had already been tidied up. It didnt look like someone had just kicked up a massive fuss here at all. Its just the bossdy who looks a bit strange. It seemed as if someone had hit her?
But that wasnt important. The most important thing is the food.
When Director Wei sat in the hall waiting, he could already smell the aroma of Lanzhou noodles. The soulful smell reminded him of his hometown, and he could already imagine how delicious it was.
Li Murou served up the noodles when she was done. When Director Wei saw the food, he was truly surprised, as expected.
Not only were the noodles thin and delicate, the soup was also very tasty. When he picked up his chopsticks and put some in his mouth, the wonderful taste almost made his entire soul tremble. He seemed to be hallucinating and he could see the colors of the rainbow emanating from the bowl.
God, what kind of divine food is this? This is the chef hes been looking for! He finally found the taste of histe wife and his hometown!
While Director Wei was eating pleasantly, he heard Li Murou say, Director, I heard youve been searching for a chef?
Mhm. Director Weis mouth was stuffed full with food, but he hastily said, Miss Li,y out your conditions! How much do you need for me toe here and eat every day?
Li Murou arched her brows. I dont need money, Director Wei.
Then what do you want? Director Wei could clearly understand the intent behind her words.
Li Murous voice was gentle. I heard that Lin Yueqis Fat Girl Mama is still in production? And I heard that there are some oedipusplex themesIt wont be good if a show like this is broadcast, right?
Director Wei understood her instantly.
This girl means to have him find some way or excuse to block the production of the movie or to find some way to dy the release date.
Compared to finding the ultimate cuisine, Wei Chengguang didnt think this was hard to do. Just as he was about to agree to Li Murous demands, his face suddenly changed.
At the same time, an electronic alert sounded in Li Murous ears.
Ding~ System reminder: Lin Yueqi and Lu Tings ambiguous points increase by 3, the system suffered an attack. You will suffer Food Like Shit punishment for three hours.
As soon as the prompt ended, Director Wei spat out all the food in his mouth as if he had just eaten shit, vomiting out all of it.
Chapter 165 - Molest your ass! Are you a devil? (1)
Ch.165 Molest your ass! Are you a devil?(1)
Just a moment before, Director Wei was still enjoying the goodness of the food. The wonderful food felt as if it was opening up each and every one of his capiries, and opened up all his senses to enjoy the goodness of the food.
But while talking, the taste in his mouth suddenly turned sour and bitter, and even smelled terrible. His seven orifices were filled with the smell of a cesspool.
However much he enjoyed the food before, however disgusting it felt to him now. It felt as if what he was chewing in his mouth was not noodles, but instead a huge piece of foul-smelling feces. It was so disgusting that he vomited.
Following that, undigested food flowed out from his nose.
With the disgusting smell, Li Murou frowned and quickly asked her assistants to bring cleaning utensils over. She knew why Director Chief had be like this, but she still said, Whats wrong, Director Wei? Are you unwell? Ill call an ambnce for you immediately.
She pushed the disgust of Director Weis food on his sickness, with the implication that she wanted to escape any responsibility.
However, Director Wei wasnt an easy man to fool. He grabbed the girls wrist and said angrily through gasps, What kind of spoiled food are you feeding me? What kind of shit are you cooking up? How dare you fool people with this disgusting shit?
Li Murou had someone pour a ss of water for Director Wei. She remained calm and helped pat his back to soothe him. But Director Wei, this isnt a problem with my food, is it? If something really was wrong with my food, you would have tasted that something was wrong the moment you tried it. But werent you enjoying it when you were eating it earlier?
At that, Director Wei tried his hardest to think back to what he felt when he first tried the food. However, due to the terrible stench in his mouth, he couldnt recall that wonderful feeling anymore no matter how hard he tried to think about it. At the moment, he was left with anger with nowhere to vent it. He mmed the table and got up. Ive never eaten such disgusting food before! I will go andin! You better prepare yourself, Miss Li!
Then, the man picked up his cowhide bag and left angrily. Li Murous face twisted into anger. Grabbing a corner of the table, she screamed and turned the table over.
When the waiters and assistants came out and saw her in this state, they all jumped in fright.
Even though Li Murou never had a good temper, she had never been so angry in front of other people before. She was clearly pissed out of her mind today that she would even ignore her image.
Suffering three failures in a row made her realize that the system may not be reliable. She sat down on the bench and thought for a moment as if she had just thought of someone.
Li Murou walked to the counter and took out a business card holder, sifting out a card for Zhou Yuhuai This Zhou Yuhuai is a famous director for documentaries. When he filmed Food Lifest year, he also asked Li Murou to help, and this director also had much praise for her craft.
And, this Director Zhou had been preparing to shoot the second episode for season two of a documentary called Natures Big Storm recently, which will be bringing him to Africa for a shoot.
Each episode, they will invite a celebrity and a regr joe as guests, and the filming will take around a month toplete. This program was grueling, so when the stars go over for a month and return, they would usually lose about ten pounds of weight even without incident.
After the first season of Natures Big Storm aired, the ratings were amazing. It was also aired overseas at the same time and was loved by both domestic and international audiences.
Chapter 166 - Molest your ass! Are you a devil? (2)
Ch.166 Molest your ass! Are you a devil?(2)
As a result, many stars wanted to go on the show no matter what, all so they could use it as a stepping stone. Zhou Yuhuai was very strict when it came to star selection. They had to be physically fit and willing to do hard work. Anyway, there were a lot of requirements. A physical fitness test is also required to participate in his program. If you fail, then you will not be able to participate in the program as a guest.
Li Murou and Zhou Yuhuai had a good rtionship and the two shared a great friendship. During the first episode, Zhou Yuhuai tried to invite Lu Murou, but she politely declined so she could n her restaurant.
Now, not only did she want to go, she wanted Lin Yueqi to go with her as well.
Lin Yueqi currently weighs 75 kilos so she definitely wont be as photogenic as her. She does food videos online and had a decent fan base. She was also affectionately called a fairy goddess byizens.
And she has also been to many mountains and forests in order to search for the most original ingredients and also had experience in jungles. If she can turn every forest ingredient in the recording into miracles, then the audience will definitely be amazed.
The biggest point of the documentary is to test the ability of the guests to survive in the wild. If any of the guests weregging behind, they will definitely get scolded. On the other hand, if any guest performed well, even a regr guest can hold their hands around the fans and be popr across half the continent.
Li Murou had the help of a golden finger so she was no afraid of this documentary. In contrast, an ordinary person like Lin Yueqi will probably be crushed into nothing by her.
Of course, Li Murous main purpose was not topare with Lin Yueqi, but so that she could show Lu Ting Lin Yueqis bad points, and to show him her good points.
Her Gourmet Culinary Goddess systems greatest counter is the love developing between Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting. Whenever there is the slightest, ambiguous hint of love produced between the two, her system will be attacked, and she will also receive varying degrees of punishment from the system.
She guessed, based on the severity of her punishment, that Lin Yueqi had probably taken advantage of her drunken state to pull some sort of bewitching tactic on Lu Ting, leading him to have strange feelings towards her. She could sense that their ambiguous feelings have not achieved a level that she thought it would, so she still had time to stop it.
Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting are now living under the same roof and were raising a daughter together. Their feelings will start to warm for each other sooner orter. So, she had to take action and find a way to stop Lin Yueqi and Lu Tings feelings from developing further.
Even though Lu Tings attitude towards her right now was not very good, and he seemed to have some misunderstandings about her, she firmly believes that if she works hard and doesnt give up, then Lu Ting will one day see her good sides. Sooner orter, he will also finally get a clear look at the true face of that white lotus Lin Yueqi.
If the documentary is shot, then Lu Ting will definitely watch it for Lin Yueqi. And, her performance in the documentary will definitely be better than Lin Yueqis. Lu Ting will also find her good points and change his impression of her.
Documentaries are different from reality TV shows. Since there will be less editing, you can have a direct look at the strengths and ws of people. When the documentary airs, then the white lotus Lin Yueqi will have nowhere to hide.
Li Murou immediately contacted Zhou Yuhuai after making these calctions in her mind.
When he received her call, Zhou Yuhuai was surprised. I heard Lin Yueqi gained 75 kilos for Fat Girl Mama? With her current shape, Im afraid shes not suitable to participate in the show.
Chapter 167 - Molest your ass! Are you a devil? (3)
Ch.167 Molest your ass! Are you a devil?(3)
Li Murou said, Old Zhou, I never asked you for anything so please, help me out just this once?
Zhou Yuhuai couldnt understand. But why do you want her to participate in the program? Whats the reason?
Li Murou said, As you know, I grew up in the Lu family and Ive been childhood friends with Lu Ting. Lu Ting likes her, so Im sort of helping her out, as repayment for the kindness the Lu family showed me.
The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before he said, Murou, other people may not be willing to receive your kindness. You like Lu Ting, dont you? Why are you helping someone else now? You think its worth it?
Li Murous voice was firm. Its worth it for me.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Yuhuai said, Fine. I dont mind you asking me to invite her to the show, but what about you? May I know when the beautiful Miss Li has time to be my guest?
What about this? Everything was already in the palm of her hands. It didnt deviate from her expectations at all. After a slight pause, she continued, If you can give lIn Yueqi a chance, Ill agree to be your guest!
Alright, its a deal then.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yuhuai contacted Lin Yueqis assistant cum agent tomunicate with her about the documentary.
Xiao Ke was obviously surprised when she received Zhou Yuhuais call. The internationally renowned documentary director actually asked Lin Yueqi to be his guest? Isnt this a bit unbelievable?
The documentary was going to be simulcast on several foreign ace TV stations and several of the celebrity guests who have been on the show are internationally known Hollywood actors. Ordinary actors would have to either be extreme sports enthusiasts or have some other outstanding features if they wanted to participate in this program.
But inviting Lin Yueqi on the next episode? The recording for this documentary is a grueling task but pays well. Any ordinary star that gats on there can easily be popr all over the world if they do well, no problem.
Xiao Ke hurriedly revealed this good news to Lin Yueqi.
Lin Yueqi, who was still curled up in bed, wasnt surprised at all when she received a call from Xiao Ke. Instead, she asked, So, what benefits will I get from participating
Lose weight! Youll be famous all over the world! This isnt a domestic reality TV show, this is a great opportunity for you to get global fans!
Xiao Ke told her about the general pattern of the documentary and also cited several actors who came back from the show losing five to ten kilos of weight.
Lin Yueqi turned over to see Lu Tings sleeping face.
Last night, Lu Ting slept with her, each of them with their own covers. Neither of them invaded each others private space.
While talking, she plugged up Lu Tings nose with her fingers. Hows something that good possible? Will the recording be tiring? AfricaThe sun will burn me alive. I dont really want to go.
Xiao Ke could almost die with how pissed she was at her. Do you know how much money youll get out of this project?!
How much?
One month, seventy million!
Lin Yueqis hand shook and her finger shot straight up into Lu Tings nostril. Probably having done so too hard, it woke the man up. He red at her coldly, clear anger suppressed in his eyes.
Lin Yueqi pulled her hand back and sat up, saying while wiping her hand on Lu Tings pajamas, Im going, Im going! Seventy million dors in a month? Im gonna be rich!
Her act of sticking her finger up someones nose and then wiping her hand on them sessfully stirred someone awake.
A certain big boss ground his teeth. Lin Yueqi!
Ah~ Lin Yueqi hung up and smiled at him. Honey, youre awake? Why dont you take another nap? Ill go and change my clothes.
She lifted her nket and was just about to get up, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, her cor was hooked by the man who then pulled her back.
Chapter 168 - Molest your ass! Are you a devil? (4)
Ch.168 Molest your ass! Are you a devil?(4)
Lu Ting held her down on the bed, furious. Lin Yueqi, can you be a little more hygienic
Im very hygienic! Its your own nose, your own clothes, whats unhygienic about that? Lin Yueqi blinked her eyes, looking innocent. Big bro, are you a mysophobe? Does your own nose bother you so much?
Lu Ting could really die from anger. He had never seen such a shameless woman in his life.
Following that, he dragged Lin Yueqi off the bed as if he was dragging a plump chicken. Lu Ting dragged Lin Yueqi over to the closet, opened the cab, and took a set of sportswear out from it, tossing it to her. Change.
ThisIsnt this not good this early in the morning? I usually exercise in the evening.
Lin Yueqi said while holding the clothes.
Lu Ting let out augh. Since Miss Lin is on vacation, then properly work on your weight. Keeping fit is a necessary homework for your career.
The corner of Lin Yueqis mouth twitched. Boss Lu, dont you need to go to work? And can you not talk like that? It makes me feel Im about to die
Lu Ting threw a nce at her and left the closet without a word, mming the door with a bang.
Ten minutester, the two went downstairs to eat breakfast.
First, Lu Ting dragged her with him when he sent the chubby girl to school. Aftering back from the kindergarten, their breakfast had just digested, so she was brought to a nearby gym.
The atmosphere in the private gym was better than at home, and the equipment was also a moreplete set than they had back at home.
Being watched by a group of muscr trainers, Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting went towards the treadmill.
Just like he was chasing ducks into a truck, Lu Ting drove Lin Yueqi onto the treadmill, adjusted the speed and incline, then let her run.
During the first three months of Fat Girl Mama, Lin Yueqi was unable to lose weight at all. The director was worried that she would lose weight so he had specifically instructed her to eat more. After the shooting for Fat Girl Mama was over, Lin Yueqi almost lost her life eating at Swallow Canteen. In order to readjust her physical condition, she didnt exercise during that period.
Having not exercised for more than three months, she was already panting for her life after running for just half an hour. She wanted to stop, but Devil Coach Lu wouldnt let her. He wanted her to challenge the speed limit and to enjoy the charm of calorie burning.
Lin Yueqi, Hows there any charm in burning calories!
Finally, after getting off the treadmill, Lin Yueqi was dragged to the private training area by a certain someone named Lu.
Tension belts, deep squats, the whole ten miles.
When it came to the most painful nks, Lin Yueqi was lying on the ground howling in pain. Old Lu, I cant take anymore! My body has reached its limit. I really cant move anymore.
But Devil Lu still did not change his expression. He had no intention of letting her go.
Following that, she saw Lu Ting lying on the ground, hands on his pant seams, andid straight.
Lu Ting, Come over and do nks on me.
Lin Yueqi said, okay. She thought that Lu Ting would hold up her abdomen slightly from below so that she wouldnt need to work that hard on her nk. That way, it wouldnt be as difficult.
However, when she pressed Lu Ting underneath her and did her nks, she realized something was off.
Not only was Lu Ting not holding her up, he was lying motionless underneath her and ring at her with deadly eyes simr to a ss teachers. The two of them were also so close to each other that their eyes were locked.
The mans breath wafted over her face one after the other, making her cheeks burn.
Lin Yueqi could already guess what wasing next.
If she fails to support herself and falls, she would directly fall on Lu Ting, then she would have to kiss him.
And this guy just had to mock her with a serious face. If you cant hold on, then this is going to turn into molestation training.
Lin Yueqi, Molest your ass! Are you a devil?!
Chapter 169 - Generation-ending kick (1)
Ch.169 Generation-ending kick(1)
The distance between the upper bodies of the two was very close. Lin Yueqis chest wasnt small, and Lu Tings chest was also strong. Being chest-to-chest, Lu Ting would be able to feel the softness of her chest through his thin T-shirt if she so much as dips a little.
The distance between their faces was also very close, to the point where they could feel each others breaths. If Lin Yueqi did not lift her chin and look forward, then they would probably be kissing. However, she cant fall further down or itll still happen.
Hips raised, abs tight. Dont fall down. Work your core to keep your body bnced!
Lu Ting reminded her while jabbing her shoulders.
Since Lin Yueqis core was unstable, she couldnt stop her body from shaking and she also had a tendency to fall forward. When Lu Ting spoke and moved his mouth, his lips would practically be touching her jaw, causing a burst of goosebumps to rise up through her skin.
This nk was too hellish. She cant even be the slightest bitzy and she had to pay full attention. Letting her mind wander a bit would mean intimate contact with Lu Ting.
Whenever Lu Ting spoke, she would feel his hot breath on her face.
She really couldnt stand it. Old Lu, can you stop talking? Your breath is getting all over my face. Did you eat too many dumplings this morning? I can smell the chives.
Lu Ting subconsciously closed his mouth and even pursed his lips silently. Only a while after did he remember that he had only taken a ss of milk and a slice of bread this morning. He never ate any dumplings with chives.
Time passed second after second. Lin Yueqi gritted her teeth and held on.
When it was almost two minutes, her perseverance reached the limit. When she was just about to fall, her mind went nk, her arms went limp, and she fellpletely on top of Lu Ting.
However, Young Girl Lin was insistent on not molesting the devil coach. So, when her body fell, she kept her face up so that her chin would smash into the mans teeth instead.
Ow Lin Yueqi let out a pained cry and shrunk into herself, holding her jaw andying on top of his firm chest. While holding her chin, she said, Were you trying to eat me?
Lu Ting looked at the girl who was pressed up against his body and using his chest as a pillow. Two minutes arent up yet. You can still go.
She was alreadyying limp on Lu Tings body and didnt want to move anymore. She reached out to grab the mans cheek and pinched it. Thick-skinned Devil Coach, please do not think of such bad ideas next time. Youre taking advantage of me on purpose.
Oh? Lu Ting raised an eyebrow at her and said in amusement, But it seems like youre the one taking advantage of me right now, Miss Lin.
Only then did Lin Yueqi roll off of him andid spread-eagled on the yoga mat. She looked up at the ceiling, gasping for air, chest rising and falling rapidly. She said desperately, No more, Old Lu. I really cant take any more.
But after lying down and wailing for a while, Lu Ting got up, grabbed his stopwatch, and said, Let your muscles rest for 60 seconds and do a few sets of upper body exercises next.
Lin Yueqi was about to blow up on him. She widened her eyes at him. Lu Ting, are you a devil? Ive already been exercising for more than an hour!
Once he remembers her obesity disease, Lu Tings pity instantly dissipated. With a serious face, he said, Forty minutes of running is just a normal daily routine. You also have to do strength training for your body. Later, well finish your upper body training. After some rest, well go for forty minutes of boxing.
Lin Yueqi, Papa Lu, can we take it easy today?
Even though she also wanted to lose weight, she seems to have gotten used to her fat after not exercising for three months. She had instead lost the passion she had for losing weight three months ago. She also knew that as an actress, she had to lose weight. Even if she doesnt be an actress, she still had to lose the weight for healths sake.
Chapter 170 - Generation-ending kick (2)
Ch.170 Generation-ending kick(2)
Her original n was to keep her exercise within two hours, but with Lu Tings ns, her exercise had to take more than just two hours.
The weight loss n she nned for herself three months ago was like the lesser evil in the face of Lu Tings devil weight-loss n.
After letting her muscles rest for a minute, Lin Yueqi also got up from the ground and began gritting her teeth to hold on. Afterpleting 35 minutes of upper body training, she was pulled away by Lu Ting again, this time to the boxing cage.
Lin Yueqi put on her head protector and gloves, then took up her stance against Lu Ting.
Lu Ting held a boxing target in his hand for Lin Yueqi to punch and kick. Once he was ready, he said, Listen to my orders carefully. Dont make a single misstep. You cant mix up your left and right punches. Heavy punches also have to be heavy. Make sure your hook is proper. Especially the knee. You have to pay attention to mymands. Got that memorized?
Lin Yueqi nodded breathlessly. Yeah.
Ready.
Lin Yueqi got into her stance and shielded her cheeks with her left and right fists while looking through the gap in between.
Jab.
A jab aimed straight for the head.
Lin Yueqi tossed her fist straight out and hit the opponents punching mitt with a bang. However, theck of force dissatisfied Lu Ting very much. Put some force into it!
She rebuilt her strength, repeated the punch, and quickly returned to a defensive position. However, her second jab was still not hard enough. Lu Ting frowned. That nk thing earlier? I did it on purpose. It wasnt to help you hold on. I just wanted to take advantage of you.
His eyes moved to her chest and he raised a brow. Your chest is looking pretty good.
Lin Yueqi took the bait. Sure enough, she got angry.
Frowning, she subconsciously looked down at her own chest, and immediately scowled at her opponent.
Jab!
As soon as the man gave themand, Lin Yueqi stored up her strength and bolted out, smashing a thunderous, ear-shattering jab on the mans punching mitt. Lu Ting could also clearly feel her power, and the arm behind his punching mitt was shaking slightly.
Lu Ting put more force into his arm and flexed his muscles solid. He was seriously prepared to take on Lin Yueqis punches. Frowning, he said, Tighten your core! Listen to mymand. Straighten your fists!
Lin Yueqi eyed him coldly. She really didnt expect a serious domineering president like him to be so lewd inside. What a scam.
Hah. Men.
Jab-cross, owo! Left-right!
Back and forth straight punches.
Lu Ting repeated themand continuously and gradually elerated. Lin Yueqi threw punches back and forth, putting her all in each blow. At the eleration of hismands, her punches elerated as well. Very soon, her body that had cooled down from rest began to grow hot and sweaty again.
Seeing that she was already familiarized with the straight punch, Lu Ting gave a differentmand. Knee!
One knee kick.
When Lu Ting gave the kneemand, he had to move the punching mitt from his upper body to his belly so that Lin Yueqi could practice the knee kick.
After a few repetitions of the punch and knee action, Lu Ting thought that Lin Yueqi had finally gotten used to it and also rxed his guard. So, he began elerating hismands in order to stimte the strength of her muscles.
However, Lin Yueqis physical strength has almost reached its limit. In the end, she got Lu Tings order wrong and started throwing punches and kicks randomly.
Lu Tingsmand was still jab, and his punching mitt was still blocking the upper position. However, Lin Yueqi had already rushed over with a knee to his stomach. Lu Ting was hit at the most vulnerable bit down there. He was in so much pain that he instantly turned around, face blue with pain.
Lin Yueqi retracted her knee and also had a shock. she stopped in ce and after catching a few breaths with her hands on her knees, she asked, Old Lu, you okay?
Lu Ting supported himself on the iron cage. After taking a few breaths and enduring the pain, his next words were almost squeezed out of gritted teeth. Are you trying to make Tuantuan an only child?
Chapter 171 - Generation-ending kick (3)
Ch.171 Generation-ending kick(3)
Lin Yueqi,
Tuantuan who was far away in kindergarten sneezed all of a sudden. She rubbed her nose and cocked her head to the side, confused. Huh? Who was cursing her?
Lin Yueqi felt a little embarrassed. She came over and took his arm with a sorry expression, saying, IIt wasnt on purpose. I just got a bit high as things went on, then I got themand wrongIs it bad? Should I take a look for you?
Lu Ting had his back to her and his shoulders were shaking from anger. He didnt know whether tough or cry. You want to see, Miss Lin? Do you think I could possibly show you here?
Lin Yueqi, Old Lu, you rascal!
Lu Ting, Wasnt she the one who suggested it? Whos the real rascal here!
Lu Ting rested for a bit and the pain finally went away. Only then did Lin Yueqi ask carefully, Are westill going? I think I could still go for another ten minutes.
The man shivered. He didnt want to experience pain down there twice a day. He said, You. Lie down.
Lin Yueqi put her arms over her chest. What do you want?
Continue exercising!
Oh
Lin Yueqiid down as she was told while the man kneeled above her waist while holding the target over his lower abdomen. With a serious face, he said, Crunch strikes. This will help with your core.
Ready up! owo!
Under Lu Tingsmand, Lin Yueqi immediately began doing crunches and boxing the target in front of the mans belly. Probably due to the psychological trauma that was left on him, Lu Ting was protecting his vulnerable point carefully.
After thirty crunch punches, strength training finally came to an end.
Just when Lin Yueqi had finished taking off her boxing gloves and thought that she could go home, the man dragged her over to the treadmill again, and adjusted the speed, time, and incline for her.
Final thirty minutes. Stretch after youre done, then well go pick Tuantuan up together.
Lin Yueqi widened her eyes at him. She didnt even have the strength to speak anymore. Papa Lu, are youa devil?
Yes, I am. Lu Ting said with a serious face. After putting the treadmills safety clip on her clothes, he pressed the start button.
Lin Yueqi looked like she had nothing to want for in this world anymore. In order to distract her from the running, Lu Ting fetched a tablet for her and put on A Bite of China.
Food was being shot in high definition, sprinkles of oil sshing up as the food was stir-fried. It almost seemed as if you could smell it through the screen.
Lin Yueqi gulped while she ran. She was almost in tears. She only heard the man whisper faintly in her ear, Well go eat after youre done. You can do it.
Under the temptation of Devil Coach Papa Lu, Lin Yueqi forgot about her fatigue and the weakness in her legs and began her thirty-minute long run.
Finally, it was over.
When she came out of the shower, all her muscles felt rxed, but she still felt weak and bby. Lin Yueqitched onto Lu Tings arm and was dragged outside by the man. When they got to the parking lot, she asked, Papa Lu, are we having braised pork or sweet and sour fish tonight? Those seem a bit too greasy. Hey, lets go and eat Chaoshan Beef Hot Pot! The beef is low fat and high in protein, and the dry chili mix is mixed up of a dozen spices. Dip in the tender beef slices for a few seconds, dipping it in fragrant chili oil. Ah! Delicious!
Lin Yueqi was getting more and more excited and was swaying around while hugging Lu Tings arm. Lets go eat Chaoshan Beef Hot Pot! Well bring Tuan-jie as well! Shell definitely like it!
Okay. While holding on with deadweighttching onto his arm, Lu Ting dragged her all the way to the car.
Once they arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten, the teacher and Tuantuan were waiting at the entrance for the parents toe pick the children up.
They parked their car in front of the school, and as soon as Lu Ting got off the car, Tuantuan let go of her teachers hand and ran towards her Papa. She pounced on Lu Tings leg and rested her chin on his leg, tilting her head up and asking, Papa, wheres Mama?
Chapter 172 - Generation-ending kick (4)
Ch.172 Generation-ending kick(4)
The creamy white soup began to boil in the pot. As the chanterelle mushrooms bubbled in the pot, it started to get fragrant.
At that moment, the waiter brought over several tes of beef and the fruit sd over to the table. Lin YUeqi rubbed her hands together and couldnt wait to get her hands on the beef. But before she could open her chopsticks, they were taken away by the man.
Lu Ting snatched the chopsticks from her hand, took the fruit sd from the tray, and ced it along with a fork in front of her.
The mans voice was deep. You eat this one. Well settle the rest.
Lin Yueqi held onto the fork for a moment before revealing a smile after. Old Lu, youre not that stingy, are you?
Lu Ting exined, In order to exercise your willpower, this is a ss you have to attend.
Lin Yueqis smile froLu Ting looked towards the car.
Tuantuan also followed Lu Tings gaze to the car and saw her mother looking at her with her life sucked out of her. Then, she waved weakly at her. Baby,e in quick, your Mamas gonna starve to death.
Her baby made Tuantuan shrivel up with goosebumps rising on her skin. She turned around and shot her teacher a flying kiss and then said goodbye to her.
The little girl took off her school bag, handed it to Lu Ting, climbed into the car, and sat down in the middle. Lu Ting carried her small bag into the car and then said to the driver after closing the store, Go to the nearest Chaoshan Beef Hot Pot.
The driver nodded and drove towards the restaurant.
Once they arrived, Lin Yueqi ordered a variety of beef and a dozen vegetables to go with it. After ordering, she handed the menu to Lu Ting and rubbed her hands in anticipation. Old Lu, the beef balls at this ce is super bouncy! Its homemade and super good. You have to try it out! Their secret sauce is also good. They also have dry chili mix here. Ah! The chili mix is the best thing ever!
When Tuantuan was listening to her, she couldnt help herself from salivating and her stomach began to rumble.
As if Lu Ting hadnt heard her introduction, he ordered a fruit lettuce sd. After closing the menu, he instructed the waiter, Just add some light soy sauce, and dont add any sd dressing. Its too high in calories.
Lin Yueqi clicked her tongue andmented, Old Lu, have you gone crazy from losing weight?
Tuantuan sat on the chair, holding arge bowl and swaying her short legs. Papa, dont lose weight. Youre so skinny. The family unit has to be equal! You have to get fat as well!
Lu Ting did not speak. He helped the fat girl open the pull tab of her c and put the straw in before cing it in front of her.
ze on her face. Her voice was gentle but very forced. Mr. Lu, Old Lu~ My dear Papa Lu, youre not really that cruel-hearted, right? Beef is low in fat~
As she said that, she reached her fork out to grab the beef.
Before her fork could even touch the food, it was caught by Lu Tings chopsticks,pletely blocking her food-stealing path.
Lu Ting had a serious look. Endure. You have to endure it. What right do you have to be someone elses idol, what right do you have to be a mother, if you dont have this bit of willpower?
Lin Yueqi epted the education and hung her head, eating her sd with tears in her eyes.
Tuantuan stuffed beef balls in her mouth while cheering her on in a muffled voice. Mama goh! Yoo teh fettest!
Lin Yueqi shed hard tears.
Hows a guy like Lu Ting going to get married in the future? Hah.
In the afternoon, Li Murou was cooking for her guests when she suddenly received a punishment warning from the system. Her assistant who could still smell the fragrance of the food at the side suddenly gagged from the stench of the food.
Li Murou was punished for six hours, which was an even heavier punishment thanst time.
Fortunately, she didnt pass the food to the guests mouth this time and made a random excuse of not feeling well to send her guests off.
Lu Murou stopped cooking and took a deep breath.
She had to find a way to get Lin Yueqi away from Lu Ting fast.
Chapter 173 - Dynamic Prince Lu Ting (1)
Ch.173 Dynamic Prince Lu Ting(1)
Li Murous assistant was so disgusted by the stench that she ended up vomiting for half an hour in the toilet.
When she came out, her colleague patted her back in concern and asked, Are you alright? You were fine in the kitchen. Why did you suddenly throw up?
The assistant recalled the foul smell earlier and vomited again. However, her stomach was already empty, so she couldnt retch anything out.
Its Bosss food. It smells terribleI dont know what happened, but the Bosss cooking suddenly did a 180. It started to smell really disgusting. Not only that, Boss even asked the guests to leave before they even ate anything.
You remember Director Wei? The colleague asked in a whisper. Director Weis food also tasted really nasty too that day. It smelled so bad I could smell it from a distance. And I thought Director Wei farted or somethingSpeaking of which, is Boss really the one who made food that smells like that? I was standing right next to her when she was cooking and I didnt sense anything at all. Has Boss been experimenting with some sort of dark cuisine? Im really curious what sort of ingredients shes using. How could the food turn that disgusting?
You think its some sort of special spice? You can improve the taste if you use it right, but use it wrong and it turns gross?
Its possible. The staff lowered her voice further. If you can get evidence of Bosss food smelling bad, you might even be able to earn a quick buck on the. The Boss has been getting really popr recently and both a Film Emperor and a big director have been frequenting her blog. She can be considered an inte celeb now, right?
How could there be any evidence? Its not like I can record it on video. Dont think about these things anymore. Were taking sry from the boss, how could we betray her?
Right
The two quietly discussed Li Murous cooking skills, but no matter how they thought about it, they couldnt recall what sort of condiments Li Murou put in her food. They couldnt even recall the steps she used while cooking.
It was as if those memories were taken straight out of their brains.
Both of them scratched the back of their heads in unison, both confused.
Alright, get back to work. The Bosss temper has been terribletely. We cant aggravate her.
Yeah.
On the other hand, Lin Yueqis family of three came out of the hot pot restaurant. While waiting for the car at the side of the road, Tuantuan patted her belly, looking satisfied. Tuantuan is so full~ What about you, Papa?
Lu Ting gave a slight nod. Im very full too.
Lin Yueqi exercised a good deal and also burned a lot of energy. From the time she finished exercising, her body had been in an extreme state of hunger, but she still had to endure the temptation of food.
Lu Ting was also a really ruthless person to go to such an extent in order to train her willpower.
Her desire to lose weight was also very strong, but she was clear that she may not be able to persevere without eating some meat if not for Lu Tings help.
On the way back, Lin Yueqi fell down to Tuantuans thighs and fell asleep. Meanwhile, the satiated Tuantuan fell sideways onto Lu Tings leg.
The girl rested her head on her Papas legs while saying sweetly, Papa, when Tuantuan grows up, does Tuantuan have to lose weight too?
If youre fat and healthy, then Papa wont interfere with it. Lu Ting continued after a pause, But if youre fat and unhealthy, then you have Mama as an example in the future.
Tuantuan,
While sleeping, Lin Yueqi muttered in a daze, Old Lu, youre a real devil
Back home.
Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan changed intofortable clothes after taking a shower, and they bothid on bed together watching We Bare Ducks.
When Lu Ting came in with a photo album, he saw the mother and daughter duo leaning against the bed while covered with a nket on their bodies, yet their legs were showing. From his perspective, he was just able to see their big and small feet.
The two were staring at the animation projected onto the wall and discussing in a serious matter which of the ducks would make suitable husbands. From the tone of their discussion, you couldnt hear any age difference between them at all.
Chapter 174 - Dynamic Prince Lu Ting (2)
Ch.174 Dynamic Prince Lu Ting(2)
Lu Ting couldnt help butugh at this seemingly serious discussion.
Lin Yueqi said, I choose White Duck because hes a president, hes a genius, and an inventor. Not only can he create robots, hes also good at cooking and treats family well. A man in and outside the home is the best setting for a husband.
Tuantuan was leaning against the bed while hugging a pillow and frowned, saying seriously, But Mama, if you like White Duck so much, why dont you marry Papa?
Lin Yueqi, ??
Tuantuan continued on. Dont you think Papas exactly the same as White Duck?
Lin Yueqi looked at Lu Ting who was standing at the door with a photo album in his hand and snorted. White Duck is more gentle than your dad! Tuan-jie, dont set your daughter filter too high when you look at that guy.
Ahem. Lu Ting coughed and walked in before sitting on Lin Yueqis bed very naturally.
Sitting cross-legged next to Tuantuan, he flipped open the photo album.
Tuantuan nced at the first page of the album. It was a fat boy sitting naked in a basin. She hugged Lu Tings arm and asked, curious. Papa, who is this little guy?
Its Papa. Lu Ting continued to turn the pages and stopped at age 4. This is when Papa was young.
Tuantuan looked surprised. Papa, you were fatter than me when you were young!
Lu Ting did not speak. Just as he was nning to continue flipping the pages, Lin Yueqi held down the pages. Old Lu, I finally know why Fat Tuan is so fat! I think its inherited from your powerful genes. You, are very powerful!
Tuantuan held her belly and looked proud. Wow! Papa is really powerful!
Lin Yueqi coughed lightly. Tuan-jie, thats nothing to be proud about. You inherited Qiqis beautiful eyes. Now thats something you should feel honored about.
Tuantuan hummed in response and asked, But Papa, why are you so skinny now?
Lu Ting continued to flip the pages and stopped at age 14.
During his junior high years, he was still a fat kid. Since he was fat, he was inevitably bullied and he had a weak physique due to obesity. He would end up gasping for air every time he went up the stairs.
In order to thin down, Lu Ting began doing fitness nning for himself. It took him three whole years topletely cut out all the fat. After that, he kept up his habit of exercising, and maintained his fit physique till this day.
Some people arent born thin, they got it with effort.
Lin Yueqi propped herself up with her arm and looked at Old Lus old photos. This clearly motivated her, and her determination to lose weight became even more resolute.
She used to have a thin body, but now what she wants is not to return to her old thin figure, but to be thin and healthy. She wanted to have perfect abs.
The photo album had photos of Lu Ting when he sessfully got his eight-pack abs. Both Tuantuan and Lin Yueqi were wowed.
Tuantuan lifted up her chubby face and asked Lu Ting, Papa, can I touch Papas abs?
Lu Ting reached out to pat his daughters head and very naturally lifted up his pajamas, revealing his abs.
No more and no less, the man had a proper eight-pack on his abs.
Of course, not everyone could get eight-pack abs. It depended on the length of ones torso. Lu Ting was more than a hundred and ny centimeters tall and had a slightly longer upper body, so he managed to form eight packs. But if you had a short body, you wouldnt be able to get eight no matter how hard you trained.
Tuantuan brought her pudgy fingers over to Lu Tings abs and felt it gently. From the bottom of her heart, she sighed. Papa, youre so cool! Youre cooler than White Duck! White Duck doesnt have eight packs.
Lu Ting took the opportunity to educate the girl and spoke seriously. Tuantuan, humans and animals cant be together. If you get a boyfriend in the future, it has to be a man just like your Papa. Understand?
Being forced to science, Tuantuan pouted, Papa, Tuantuan isnt a dummy, Tuantuan knows that.
Lin Yueqi also let out a snicker and teased, Tuantuan, dont me your dad. Hes a super straight man, he doesnt understand the fun of usdies.
Chapter 175 - Dynamic Prince Lu Ting (3)
Ch.175 Dynamic Prince Lu Ting(3)
Tuantuan pped Lu Tings abdominal muscles and sighed. Sigh, Papa. You have to work hard to increase your wisdom on girls! You cant be out of touch with your family! It would be even better if you could watch We Bare Ducks with us.
Being stopped with words by the girl in this way, Lu Ting was just about to speak, only to see Lin Yueqi reaching her devil ws out towards him and wing at his abs just like the girl. At the same time, she sighed, Old Lu, your abs are seriously not bad. Its a waste of you not being a model!
I remember that youre good at drawing, arent you? Lu Ting still kept on with a serious tone. Why dont I model for you? Even though I dont like offering up my body, I can offer myself up for Miss Lins art.
This expected flirtation almost made Lin Yueqi choke on her own spit.
Amused, she asked, Old Lu, have you been reading any guides recently?
How could he admit to reading guides? Definitely not, even if you beat him to death. Lu Ting still kept a serious face. Theyre words from the bottom of my heart.
Tuantuan looked at her Mama, then at Papa who was flirting seriously. She clicked her tongue and patted the mans shoulder. Papa, the revolution has not seeded yet. You have to keep going. Dont disappoint Tuantuan. I hope that one day Mama can be Papas bride and give Tuantuan a little brother.
Lin Yueqi wouldnt have any of it. She destroyed her dreams straight out. Tuan-jie, please think less of such unrealistic fantasies in the future.
Tuantuan muttered in a quiet voice. Im gonna keep thinking. Maybe one day itll be true. Who knows? Hmph.
In the next half month, Lu Tings work gradually increased, but he still urged Lin Yueqi every day to lose weight.
Whenever Lu Ting had a meeting, he would turn on video call so he could keep an eye on Lin Yueqis exercise. Under the death stare of a certain big boss, Lin Yueqi adhered to each one of his exercise programs and trained every day in strict ordance with the coach. Even her diet was in strict control.
After a month, Lin Yueqi sessfully lost five kilos.
Of course, you cant only look at the fat when ites to weight. Even though she only cut down five kilos, the month of high-intensity exercise caused the muscles in her body to increase and her body now looks firmer than before. She doesnt look like she lost only five kilos at all. Visually, she looked as if she had lost more than just five kilos.
Since the exercise also elerated her bodys metabolism, she looked better than before and the scars on her face also faded awaypletely. Even without makeup, there was a nice glow to her face and her skin had be more delicate and rosy than before.
The changes brought about by exercise were visible to the naked eye.
But even after losing five kilos, she still weighed on the heavier side. She was still considered fat as an actress. SInce she had a small face, she didnt really look that fat.
At the start of the month, Natures Big Storm was finally fully nned and entered the candidate selection phase. And the theme of this new episode was the hunt for disappearing wild elephants since it was going to be recorded in Africa. The location of the shoot was a primitive forest with many poachers, so it was a risky venture.
Therefore, the requirements for the actors and ordinary guests for the recording are more stringent.
The team intended to choose 2 stars and 2 ordinary folk, hopefully onedy and three gents. However, due to the sudden inclusion of LIn Yueqi, the director had to arrange it so that there were twodies and three gents.
Lin Yueqi went to meet the head of Natures Big Storms nning team and, before signing the contract, she had to do a physical fitness test.
The test was a five kilometer cross-country run, which is quite difficult for normal people.
The physical fitness test was conducted in A Citys Wenshan. Each person had to carry a 5 kilo backpack. Those who manage to pass the five kilometers within the time limit will pass the test, and then they will be able to sign the contract to participate in the program recording.
Chapter 176 - Dynamic Prince Lu Ting (4)
Ch.176 Dynamic Prince Lu Ting(4)
If they did not pass the test, then the program team will swap them out with a spare guest.
On that day, Lin Yueqi arrived at Wenshan at eight in the morning. After changing into sports gear, she began warming up while she waited for the other team members to arrive.
After about twenty minutes, two guys and one girl came.
To Lin Yueqis surprise, the other girl was none other than her rival Li Murou. She had also changed into a sports outfit and tied her hair up into a ponytail. With some light makeup on, she was looking good.
The other two men were also ordinary guys. Both were strong men that were over a hundred and eighty centimeters tall.
One was an outdoor sports enthusiast with some wilderness survival experience. His name is Zhou Qing and he was a rtive of the director. The other is a retired special forces soldier called Huang Hai.
The four greeted each other.
Huang Hai looked around and asked, I think we should have one more team mate? I dont know which star it is though.
The crowd looked at Zhou Qing. The big and touch man shyly scratched his nose and smiled nervously. Dont look at me. Even though the directors my cousin, I really dont know who it is. Maybe hell be here if we wait a bit.
Im quite excited to actually be able to record a show with inte celebrities and big stars, said Huang Hai. A 28 year old with a carefree and upright personality. He looked at Lin Yueqi and said unabashedly. Big star! You look much better than you do on TV.
I still look good even when Im this fat? Buddy, are you just trying to make me happy? Lin Yueqi said, grinning.
Huang Hai quickly said, No, Im telling the truth! You really do look better than on TV!
Li Murous gaze was also constantly on LIn Yueqis face and never moved away.
She really did look a bit skinnier after not seeing her for a month, and herplexion also improved. She seemed to have shown up bare-faced without any traces of makeup on her face.
Its hard not to be jealous when someone can maintain such good skin without makeup.
Just as everyone was talking, a ck car stopped a distance away.
Huang Hais eyes immediately stuck towards the direction of the car. He shouted. Hes here!
The others also looked over and saw a man dressed in a ck track suit get out of the car.
The man was tall and had long legs, turning ordinary tracksuits into runway styles. He gave off his own aura when he walked. And, the sweatband on his forehead became an embellishment for his handsome face.
Lu Ting did not have long bangs, but the ck sweatband with white designs could only vaguely be seen underneath his dark hair, giving him a spirited look. The aura he gave off also seemed to have brought him back to his teen years. He was fashionable.
Li Murou was also slightly dumbfounded at the sight of him. This sort of Lu Ting brought her back many years ago.
Every week, he would shoot hoops by himself on the basketball court in such refreshing sports attire.
She watched Lu Ting go from fat to thin, and also watched him change from the dynamic prince that girls looked up to to the introverted and stable domineering president he is now.
Money wasnt the only thing attracting her to Lu Ting, but also the tough sense of tenderness inside him.
Even though he had never been gentle with her, she could feel that once this man bes a boyfriend or a husband, he will definitely be an inconsiderate and impable man.
Lin Yueqi thought she was seeing things. She rubbed her eyes, face showing disbelief.
Did Old Lue to cheer her on? He couldnt be the other star here to participate in the recording, right? Doesnt this domineering president need to go to work? Are domineering presidents this free?
The author has something to say: Old Lu, I heard girls liked watching basketball? Alright, one game for my wifeing up.
Chapter 177 - Dog food (1)
Ch.177 Dog food(1)
OldOld Lu! Lin Yueqi inexplicably felt her legs grow weak when she saw him. WhyWhy are you here?
The mans facial expressions were not rich in nature, so there wasnt much of an obvious expression on his face when he came over either. Huang Hai and Zhou Qing, the two men, could clearly feel the crushing aura of this man in all aspects.
Height, face, temperamentand financial strength.
From the moment Lu Ting began walking towards them, his eyes had never looked elsewhere. It was constantly on Lin Yueqi. When he arrived before Lin Yueqi, he reached out to touch her head and gave it a rub. What kind of face is that?
The corners of LIn Yueqis mouth twitched. You arent here to
The man interrupted her with a nod. Yes. A month isnt too long, nor is it that short. This program is a documentary, not a reality show. It not only tests a persons perseverance but also their physical strength. The road is long and hard. Im worried that you will lose sight of your training.
Lin Yueqi understood in a second and cupped her fist at him. I gotta give it to you, Old Lu! Just cut it short and tell it to me straight that youre here to supervise my weight loss. Alright, I definitely wont give in!
The corner of Lu Tings lips lifted and he nodded. Yes. You can see it that way if you want.
The two of them spokepletely ignoring the existence of the other three. The two men were pressed into non-existence. The other mans aura was just too strong. They also didnt dare to go up to them to join their conversation so they just watched.
Huang Hai whispered, Mr. Lu is much more handsome in person than in the photos. They really make a good match.
Zhou Qing put his arms around Huang Hais shoulders and also sighed. Yeah, both of them look good. They really match well. Not only is Mr. Lu handsome, hes rich too. What kind of gal doesnt like a domineering president like him?
Huang Hai nodded. If I were a girl Id probably fall in love too. Sigh, I heard they havent gotten married yet? Their daughter is already so old but theyre still not married. What are they waiting around for?
You think its so easy marrying into money? Zhou Qing looked over at the silent Li Murou. Miss Li, is this the ideal type for you gals? Do you have a boyfriend, Miss Li?
Both Huang Hai and Zhou Qing also had good looks. Their heights and physiques were also not bad. Even on camera, their attractiveness wont go down. However, these two good-looking men were forced to be backdrops for Lu Ting. Under his crushing dominance, their auras werepletely gone.
Li Murous face turned ugly. She clenched her fists, then let go again. She had no idea why Lu Ting woulde to participate in this program. If he seeds in joining the program, then her previous ns will bepletely disrupted.
She quickly adjusted her facial expression and made up her mind to go up to Lu Ting to greet him. Brother Ting, did youe to apany Big Sister Lin in the show?
She had a nice and sensible face that also looked very cute when she smiled. Her soft voice was also afort to listen to.
However, Lu Ting didnt feel so good when he heard that voice. Both Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi turned to look at her at the same time.
The mans face was indifferent and his brows were knitted into a slight frown. There was a clear look of impatience in his eyes. He nced at the girl faintly for a moment and turned around, taking Lin Yueqi towards the starting point of the training.
Lin Yueqi stood in ce. She looked at the back of Lu Tings head, then turned to Li Murou and said, Big Sister Li Im 17 years old this year. Im not your big sister so dont just call me things randomly.
Once the two turned around and left, Huang Hai went up to her and tapped Li Murous shoulder. Miss Li, do you know Mr. Lu?
Chapter 178 - Dog food (2)
Ch.178 Dog food(2)
Before Li Murou could speak, Zhou Qing came over and said, How could she? Brother Thing is the honorary term theizens gave to Mr. Lu, you know? Come one, lets hurry up. The test is about to begin. Todays five kilometer cross-country run is not bad. If we can pass it, then we still have to do a month of physical training. So, if any of you want to give up, just give up on the five kilometer run altogether.
Huang Hai hit his elbow. Fuck you, whos gonna give up after getting to this point? We gotta work hard! Murou, I heard you have experience in wilderness survival. You should also give it your all!
Yeah.
Li Murou felt very bad inside.
This feeling was just like how she felt many years ago.
A Junior High and Guang Citys First Junior High basketball tournament league. Lu Ting would be a starter for A Junior High and was the most popr one among the girls in the school.
The girls in junior high are all suckers for a pretty face. Its the age of youthful hormones, and there were countless people writing love letters for Lu Ting. When Li Murou was in junior high, she revealed that she grew up with Lu Ting. Everyone in ss said she was lying and that she was crazy. She wasnt lying, but no one wanted to believe her.
After that, when news spread that she was the only heir of the Lu family, Lu Ting had already gone to college then. He had no idea she was impersonating as a member of the Lu family.
It was also when the misunderstanding began that everyone began to believe what she said. The rumors spread around campus and eventually, things went from she grew up with Lu Ting to shes Lu Tings girlfriend. At that time, no one corrected her conceitedness. She enjoyed the superiority brought on by such lies and was intoxicated by it.
As time went on, she had almost forgotten who she herself was. She was sure that she would be Lu Tings wife when she grew up.
Mentally, she dominated Lu Tingpletely. She never allowed any girl near him.
Then, when Lin Yueqi appeared all of a sudden, she used certain tricks to get Lu Ting sent overseas to pry them apart.
Li Murou thought she could take this opportunity to keep them apart for a while, then find a way to make Lu Ting realize how inferior this woman was at the same time.
But she didnt expect that Lu Ting would actually choose to participate in the recording of this documentary as well. If the two of them were together this month, then things might be somewhat uncontroble.
Lin Yueqi caught up with Lu Ting and after they were side by side, she kept up with him in a quick pace and teased, Youre always polite to everyone, so why so cold with Li Murou? You two couldnt possibly
She was curious because things were abnormal. SOmething fishy had to be going on. Could it be that there really was something between the two of them in the past? THenit became destruction on both sides?
No, never. Lu Tings desire to survive was very strong and said such words almost subconsciously.
His face still looked serious as he cited, This question is easy to understand. Let me ask you this. Do you like a man like me whos willing to share his thoughts with you, or a man who likes to pull a fast one on you behind your back? And if a man you dont liketches onto you for dear life, how would you feel?
Such a simple analogy clearly illustrated the dynamics between him and Li Murou. He also clearly stated that Li Murou was the ching onto him.
Lin Yueqi practically didnt think when she answered, Of course a man like you whos willing to talk to me about everything. I dont like scheming guys.
However, as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized what was wrong.
Lu Tings lips curled up. He reached his hand over again andid two pats on the top of her head. What a coincidence. I like types like you too.
This devilish kuudere actually set her up?
Chapter 179 - Dog food (3)
Ch.179 Dog food(3)
In the face of Devil Lus flirtations, Lin Yueqi waspletely unmoved and looked at him as if she were looking at the devil. She even began to wonder if the fat girl had instilled upon her father some amazing pick-up techniques.
Tuantuan may look like a tiny little thing, but in fact, at less than six years old, she has read countless idol dramas and often noting out the many ways to pursue girls.
When other children watch We Bare Ducks, all theyre thinking about is how cute the ducks are, but Tuantuan is thinking about which duck is more suitable to be a husband. That ducky is like Papa. Mama, quickly marry Papa.
After all, the girl was a genius. Not only was her way of thinking more mature than ordinary kids, she also had very good independent thinking ability.
The main manifestation of ites in the form of how she will automatically filter out several knowledge points after watching idol dramas, and began serious discussions with Lin Yueqi about said points.
For example, after watching an idol drama, Tuantuan once said to Lin Yueqi, Mama, I think the male lead uncle should try to cheer the female lead auntie up at this time. She should be like second male lead uncle, sending female lead auntie handbags and flowers, telling her sweet nothings. That way everyone will like male lead uncle very much, then they wont like second male lead uncle anymore.
Given how thoroughly the girl has been studying idol dramas, she was about 80% sure Lu Ting had received instructions from her and did some homework in his private time.
However, LIn Yueqi couldnt feel his sincerity. He had said such corny things way too much that she was beginning to get sick of it. She wouldnt get that maiden heart explosion feeling.
Lu Ting hadpletely no idea what Lin Yueqi was thinking. He was still immersed in his own overconfident n.
Lin Yueqi looked at the mans face for a while and nudged his arm with her shoulder. Old Lu, you can already be considered a star. I rmend you go act in a movie. It suits you.
Hm? Lu Ting looked seriously at her, but with an expectant face.
Lin Yueqi scoffed. Youre really suitable for the role ofShameless Man.
After saying that, she swept her ponytail back and quickly rushed towards the starting point of the test route.
Lu Ting stared at her ponytail and began to seriously think about a problem. Is there some sort of misunderstanding between them? He keeps having this feeling that Miss Lin had misunderstood his wonderful character.
When Lu Ting proposed to participate in Natures Big Storm, the program staff was also shocked. The biggest investor of this documentary is the Qiancheng Group, and the director didnt dare to object when the sponsor himself asks to join.
In addition, Lu Ting and his daughters mother being in the same program is sure to bring in good ratings. It was definitely fine for him to join Natures Big Storm with the identity of a star.
When the five guests arrived together at the starting line of the physical fitness test, the staff gave all five of them a backpack.
A drone will be following them throughout the test, and there will also be special bodyguards apanying them in the run.
After a gunshot, the five people rushed into the woods together on the mountain path.
Li Murou was deliberately running in front of Lu Ting. Their distance wasnt that far apart, but it wasnt too close either. While jogging silently, she perked her ears to listen behind her.
At times like these, it was important to set yourself up in the right position. Lu Ting clearly had some misunderstanding towards her. If she was insensitive enough to go up to them and start a conversation, she will certainly not gain any favors.
Thinking of this, she decided to stay put. The other side was also pretending he did not know her, so she wouldnt try totch onto him either when shes clearly not wee.
As soon as they reached the three kilometer point, the physical strength of the two girls were clearly not up to par.
Chapter 180 - Dog food (4)
Ch.180 Dog food(4)
Huang Hai and Zhou Qing were cheering Li Murou on. You go, girl! Well be there in two more kilometers! We still have plenty of time so dont rush it. Adjust your breathing.
Even though Li Murou had wilderness survival experience, the difficulty of doing a cross-country run with weights was still really great. This is treatment only new recruits have to suffer. Even though she insisted on running forty minutes a day in order to participate in the program, that was on the treadmill after all.
She stood in ce to rest for a while and looked behind her to see the deadweight fatty holding her knees and panting. Suddenly, she felt motivated, and she ran forward with gritted teeth.
Lin Yueqi rested for a while, readjusted her breathing, and when she got ready to straighten up and continue running, she saw Lu Ting take out a rope from his backpack, tied one end to her waist, and tied the other to his own waist.
The mans eyes were clear and spirited. He was very determined. Youre not allowed to give up.
I never thought of giving up.
Lin Yueqi was trying to adjust her breathing so she couldnt say the words that were stuck in her throat.
Lu Ting went on, Dont think about having me carry your bag for you. Theres still a long way to go so hold on.
Lin Yueqi, ??
She waspletely dumbfounded. When did she ask this guy to carry her bag?
Alright, she finally saw Lu Tings true face. The most fundamental reason he came to participate in Natures Big Storm is so he could constantly supervise her weight loss!
Lu Ting could see her little eyes fill with pitiful resentment. His heart went soft and he patted her head, exining earnestly, Its not that Im unwilling, I just dont want to harm you. This trip to Africa isnt like any regr variety TV show. Its a documentary so ites with its dangers. There will be wild beasts in the jungles so your backpack is going to be your lifeline. It will contain things you cant go without, such as food, water, as well as a fire source. Since it is your life, it cant leave your body. Understand?
Lin Yueqi straightened up, patted him on the shoulder, and pointed to her chest, then her mouth, and then forward.
Then, she put her hands into fists and ced it in front of her chest, making a cheering action.
She was trying to say that her heartbeat was so fast that she was still finding it a little difficult to catch her breath, and it was inconvenient for her to speak while trying to adjust her breath, signaling for him to continue forward.
Lu Ting continued running forward with her.
With the rope as traction, Lin Yueqi inexplicably felt her body turn much lighter as well. Lu Ting was obviously moved by her resilience, but he was also touched by the girls words of love to him.
It turned out that he was so important inside of her heart.
Substituting Lin Yueqis voice, he took her gestures to mean:
My heart and soul, Old Lu, I offer you a kiss. Let us continue running! Hurrah!
Lu Tings face was flushed from the high-intensity cardio and his sweat had already soaked his sweatband through. The man could feel the weight from the rope at his waist, and a shallow smile emerged from his lips.
At this moment, it actually felt to him like he was walking his wife.
He had no idea if it was because of the exercise, but his heart rate was constantly increasing. No matter how he tried to adjust his breathing, his heartbeat was still abnormal. And, the frequency of his heartbeats was causing his face to turn redder and redder, and the smile on his lips grew deeper as well.
When Li Murou, Huang Hai, and Zhou Qing turned back to see them, all three of them were shocked to see the spring-like smile on Lu Tings face.
Zhou Qing gasped with emotion. Holy shit, what a lewd smile. Has his domineering president persona copsed?
Huang Hai felt like he was being pped in the face by a certain somebodys love. Is this guy walking his wife or something? Screw this dog food, Im not watching this anymore
Li Murou was not feeling the same sentiments. At the moment, her face was tense, as if afraid to receive a punishment notice from the system.
But to her surprise, even with that lewd smile on Lu Tings face, she still didnt receive any punishment notifications.
Whats going on?
Chapter 181 - My Heart is Racing For Her (1)
Ch.181 My Heart is Racing For Her(1)
The system didnt punish Li Murou because the ambiguity wasnt bteral. The so-called dog food was just imagined by Mr. Lu.
Li Murou waited about ten minutes to make sure that the system didnt punish her anxiously before finally sighing.
She could make delicious food but if the two suddenly made any intimate actions, then shed receive all sorts of punishments from the system.
Although she hadnt received a punishment, she looked at Lin Yueqi in jealousy.
Lin Yueqi hadnt noticed a certain persons jealous gaze. Right now, she felt a metallic blood taste in her throat from running and not adjusting her breath.
She had to keep her breathing constant while doing intense exercises. The moment one failed to adjust her breathing, one would act like Lin Yueqi. After resting, Lin Yueqi quickly recovered. Plus, with Lu Ting leading and running with her, she didnt feel tired.
The five-people group sessfully reached the end point during the fixed time and they all passed the test.
The trainers that participated in the show recording were really proud of this groups peoples health and mentality. Everyone should know that this show will be broadcasted to the entire world so the ratings will naturally be impressive. However, the ratings depend on the guests and photographers! This show is different from wildlife survival reality shows. Not only do we need to survive in the wild, we also need to coexist with beasts and creatures too! Therefore, in order to guarantee the safety of everyone, we will undergo a months worth of training in physician capability and wildlife survival. During this time, you guys will be searching for asian elephants. Not only will you guys face wild creatures, but also hunters. As a result, I will teach you guys all my survival experiences.
For this show, they had spent a lot of time choosing and training the guests. They were serious in each aspect and for that, it made the impressive ratings of this show.
This was also why it was able to be popr across the entire world and thework.
Returning home.
Lin Yueqi sat on the sofa. While massaging her lower legs, she asked Lu Ting, Old Lu, why did youe to participate in this show? Youre going to have to waste a total of two months. Do you really have the time?
Lu Ting poured a cup of water for her and sat on the other side of the sofa.
The man held her ankle and ced her leg on his, starting to massage for her.
It wasnt the first time that the devil trainer had helped to massage her muscles. Not only Lu Ting, but her private trainer in the gym would also do that for her. Therefore, Lin Yueqi thought this was a normal thing and she didnt think it had anything to do with love.
But it was different for Lu Ting. While he was massaging her muscles, hemented with feelings thinking that they havent even dated yet and they were already living like an old couple.
Lin Yueqi didnt know that he considered her as his wife and was now looking at her questioningly.
She had a feeling that Old Lu didnt attend the show to supervise her losing weight.
As expected, Lu Ting said, Since I took over Qiancheng Group, there were some internal problems within the group. The board of directors had different motives and there was a mole. After discussing with my grandfather, we came up with this solution.
Although Lin Yueqi didnt understand business, she knew what he meant. Oh, no wonder there was news saying that Qiancheng Group is going to shut down. So it happens to be an internal problem. Youre trying to act stupid so that the people behind this will let down their guard? You want to create the image of youre a wealthy second generation that doesnt do anything proper but pick up girls? In order to draw out the mastermind?
Chapter 182 - My Heart is Racing For Her (2)
Ch.182 My Heart is Racing For Her(2)
Thats about it. The reason why I could attend a wide range of performing arts and record a show abroad is because the old man hasnt really tired yet. I came back to take over Qiancheng Group but its not really my position. The old man is still the one actually controlling everything. I went to record this show with you in order to shift those peoples attention and let them think that I cant manage a group and that I dont attend to my duties. When the time matures, that person will reveal clues. This predicament will just be resolved by itself. Lu Ting didnt stop massaging her. He asked, Do you feel better now?
Yes, much better. Lin Yueqi pulled her legs back and wore her socks. So as domineering presidents, youre never not busy right?
Very busy. He thought of something and then said, But I should have enough time for you and your child.
Lin Yueqi yawned and stretched her body. Why do your words make me feel like were a couple? Okay, Im going to sleep. Good night Old Lu.
Good night.
He watched as Lin Yueqi went upstairs and had been quietly plotting when would be the best time to propose marriage.
Lu Ting carefully recalled the feeling he felt this afternoon and he subconsciously ced his palm on his chest and rubbed it.
Was this how it feels to be dating? Greasy. Old man. Devil.
Lu Ting sent a message to Li Xing on Wechat and consulted him about this question.
Li Xing was drinking coffee when he received the question and spat the coffee on his phone. He hastily wiped his screen and asked, Old Lu, you have poison.
?
?
Li Xing replied, Two people need to be involved for dating. If youre the only one thats touched, then its not called dating but rather one-sided lovesickness, do you understand? Plus, I doubt your heart racing means that youre touched. Maybe youre just in need of a woman?
Lu Ting replied seriously, I know that my heart is racing for her.
Li Xing retorted, Are you sure? Let me tell you. Whenever Im taking my silly cat on a walk, I also feel my heart racing. What did this mean? That means that youre not touched. Youre just happy. Youre just touched by cute things. If you really like her, then that means you want to sleep with her no matter whether shes fat, ugly, tall, short, or has a face full of pimples. Do you understand?
Lu Ting thought about it. He really didnt mind however Lin Yueqi is. He responded, I dont mind.
Li Xing stayed quiet for a moment before asking, Then do you want to sleep with her?
Lu Ting responded almost immediately, Yes.
Li Xing kept quiet for a while before eximing solemnly, Brother, youre leaving the day from tomorrow right? Let me bring you some things.
He went and ordered some condoms and decided to give that to his dearest brother.
*
Two dayster, weekend.
Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting had packed up everything and prepared to go training. Wearing a yellow fisherman hat and carrying a little duck backpack, Tuantuan rubbed her eyes and choked out, Qiqi, you have to take good care of yourself when youre there. Dont like any other ducks. You have to remember that you have little white teeth and little ck duck.
The little girl rubbed her eyes red and tried to squeeze a faint smile on her chubby face.
She grabbed Lu Tings hands with her chubby hands and then grabbed Lin Yueqis. She ced their hands on top of each other.
Tuantuan sniffled and then eximed childishly but also in a crying tone, Daddy, take care and protect Tuantuans Qiqi. Qiqi snores when she sleeps at night but let her have her way. If possibly, hug her and shell stop snoring. Shell be good like a child.
Qiqi, I heard that the ce is chaotic. There are lions and tigers, and mosquitoes. Theyre really scary. You never listen. But Tuantuan hopes that youll be good and listen to daddy when youre there. Dont run around. Follow daddy closely. Daddy has a strong sense of dignity too. Dont always bully him or pull on his ears. We have to give him face. Dont make people think that daddy is easily bullied.
Chapter 183 - My Heart is Racing For Her (3)
Ch.183 My Heart is Racing For Her(3)
The little girl reminded them and when she said dont, she knitted her brows tightly and waved her chubby hands in front of her chest.
Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi looked at each other and then ced their gazes away at the same time.
Tuantuan noticed their gazes. She remindedstly, Qiqi, dont always anger daddy. You have to talk to him nicely and dont talk loudly. You have to respect daddy, okay?
Lin Yueqis lips twitched. Sister Tuan, what did your daddy give you?
Hmph. Tuantuan hugged her arms and knitted her brows. Mommy, how can you doubt Tuantuan? Tuantuan is the most righteous person in the family. You cant doubt Tuantuan.
Okay, okay. I wont. She lifted her hands and swore, I wont tug on Old Lus ears and Ill talk to him gently. Ill respect him as well. If I break this promise, let me lose ten pounds!
Qiqi, youre great. The little chubby girls hooked her fingers with her.
Lin Yueqi bent over and the little chubby girl stepped on her tippy toes to cup her face, leaving a smooch.. Qiqi, you have to miss Tuantuan. I love you!
Her heart was warmed up by the little chubby girl. Sister Tuan, I love you too~
Tuantuan indicated Lu Ting toe over after she finished saying goodbye to her mommy.
Lu Ting kneeled down and waited for his daughter to kiss her goodbye.
Tuantuan tugged on his ears and said softly, Daddy, you have to protect my Qiqi. Tuantuan loves you too, mwah~
As she said this, she left a kiss on Lu Tings forehead.
The little girls childish action softened Lu Tings heart. As a father, right now at this moment, his eyes teared up. They were only going to be away for two months but it felt as if they were going to be away for two years.
Tuantuan took out two custom-made tattoo strips and had Lin Yueiq and Lu Ting bring their hands over at the same time.
Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting kneeled in front of the little chubby girl without any bearings. They fisted their hands and gave the back of their hands to the little chubby girl.
Tuantuan peeled the tattoo strip and then pped them on Lin Yueqi and Lu Tings hands. Not only did, she used her little finger to dig and scrape the strips to make sure that the design would perfectly stick to their skins.
The little girl scraped at the tattoo strips for about two minutes before she removed the film on the surface.
The little chubby girl stuck the same design on the twos hands.
The design wasnt some sort of animal but rather a picture of Tuantuan.
Lin Yueqi nced at the little chubby girl on the back of her hands and then at Lu Tings. She finally epted this strange design.
Fine. With Tuantuans picture on the back of their hands, this was considered a vacation to Africa as a family of three, no?
One in the afternoon. [Natural Disaster Storm] The staff and guests in China all got on the ne to America.
Once they arrived in America, the five epted different training in different camps. A monthter, the five finished training. Then they took the ne to Africa, Kash. Once they arrived at the capital of Kash, the group of people had to endure about fourteen hours of car ride before they finally arrived at the primitive forest camp the program group set up.
The station was set to protect the group although the conditions were simple and crude. There was barely any food either. There was canned food, potatoes, and bread.
The group was famished upon arriving at the camp.
The director, Zhou Yuhuai, saw Li Murou and immediately walked over to hold her hands, begging her to improve everyones meals.
Li Murou nced at the famished Lu Ting and nodded. Okay, then bring me all the ingredients there are. Ill try to see if I can cook something good.
She thought that although Lu Ting didnt like her right now, it didnt mean that he wont like her in the next month or so. Especially at a ce where itcked good food. Her food would be precious like gold.
Chapter 184 - My Heart is Racing For Her (4)
Ch.184 My Heart is Racing For Her(4)
The conditions here were bitter and hard. The food was also really disgusting. Due to theck of seasonings, despite there being chefs in the team, they couldnt make any good food.
Zhou Yuhuai knew that Li Murou had the power to change something rotten into something magical. Seeing that she agreed to cook for them and recalling the delicious food she used to make, he was in a great mood.
After all, there was only so much that they could eat in the camp.
Bread, potato, canned food. What sort of delicious food could be made from these three items? As a Chinese chef, Li Murou, was clearly in a difficult situation.
She pondered momentarily before tossing the bread, potatoes, and the canned food all into the pot. Then she stewed it however with water and used the [Gourmet Food Deity] system to optimize the food.
The other guests and staff sat in front of the bonfire to chat. Suddenly, they quietened down and everyone was attracted by the fragrance of food.
Staff who had been eating weeks of bread and canned food suddenly came to life after smelling the fragrance of food. They all looked in the direction of where Li Murou was cooking.
Lin Yueqi sniffed the food and her stomach started grumbling. She started drooling after smelling the fragrance of food. She rubbed her stomach and eximed, Oh my god, it smells so good. Im so hungry.
Zhou Qing continued, Damn. What is this gourmet food? This smells too good!
Huang Hai couldnt resist the smell and immediately patted the dirt off his butt, heading in the direction of Li Murou.
Three minutes didnt even pass and people surrounded Li Murou. Everyone was iparably satisfied just sniffing the food.
Not only did the pot smell good, it also looked really good. It was golden yellow like curry soup, and nothing else was mixed within. Vapor evaporated and seemed to be reflecting a rainbow-colored glow.
Everyone praised Li Murous culinary skills and Lin Yueqi also stood quietly by the side.
What sort of delicious food could be made from bread and canned food? Li Murou clearly used the systems gold finger. At this time, Lin Yueqi actually wanted to give her a like.
The bread was dry and the canned food was fishy. She had been on a bumpy car ride the entire day and felt nauseous. These foods were hard to swallow. But with her optimization of the food, these hard to swallow food could be eaten easily.
Li Murou distributed a bowl of canned soup and bread to everyone. They carefully received it, afraid of spilling the soup and wasting the delicious food. After distributing, Li Murou nced towards Lu Ting and then quickly looked away.
She believed that under this nasty environment, Lu Ting woulde to talk to her within three days.
Everyone took their time enjoying the food. While eating, they praised Li Murous skills.
Lu Ting nced at his bowl and his brows furrowed some more.
The bread was simmered down and it became muddled. Canned food was also added into it. There was an indescribably fishy smell. Lu Tingforted himself that it might taste really good.
He held in his breath and took a huge sip. It felt really strange, yet everyone had been going against their hearts to praise, What is this godly food? Its too good!
Did you guys see? Teacher Li was able to make rotten bread and canned food into a golden-colored soup. This smells just like the curry chicken my mother makes.
Liar! Its clearly my grandmothersrge round baked wheat pancake and liangfen!
Its obviously Dapanji. Somethings off with your noses!
Woah, you guys never heard of Mianzhou rice-flour noodles did you? Thats clearly what it tastes like. It is also half clear and half spicy soup based! With bamboo shoots and pig-guts!
Lu Ting was baffled.
How long havent they eaten something? me him for being blind but he couldnt tell just how the bowl of ck murky food was appealing in any sense.
Chapter 185 - Cook-off (1)
Ch.185 Cook-off(1)
Besides Lu Ting, in everyones eyes, the canned thick soup had a golden-yellow alluring glow. Maybe it smelled too good and caused everyone to start hallucinating and thinking that they saw a rainbow within the soup.
Lin Yueqi enjoyed the lies brought to her ears, mouth, and nose. She drank the thick bread soup to replenish her stamina.
She only attended to eating food and didnt realize that Old Lu was sitting next to her and about to barf. He furrowed his brows more and more tightly. He didnt want to ruin everyones mood seeing that they were having a good time eating so he endured the fishy smell and drank a few sips.
It was one thing if ordinary chefs made this food but Li Murou was the one to make this pot of thick bread soup. She was at the very least, a chef. How could she make such disgusting food?
Lu Ting recalled thest time when he was at Swallow Dining Hall. Everyone besides seemed to have been drunk.
He watched as everyone ravaged the food and there were even some that praised it. He moved close to Director Zhou Yuhuai and asked in a low voice, How much do you know about Li Murou?
He wanted to find out what Li Murou had learned the past few years but he didnt expect Director Zhou Yuhuai topliment her that much.
He sat on a rock and drank the thick soup. After finishing thest few sips, he wiped his mouth and eximed to the sugar daddy, Murou, ah. I got to know her in Lang Province a year ago. Back then, our program group needed to venture inside the forest and search for a precious medicinal ingredient that could be used for food. The owner of a pharmacy introduced us to Murou. Speaking of, thisdy is really something.She was able to turn primitive ingredients in the forest where food wascking into something magical and delicious. I remembered how she made us a pot of soup using mushrooms. We were incredibly shocked after drinking it.
After that, we got to know that Murou was a known chef within Lang Province. Mr. Lu, you know how extraordinary our program group is. I invited her over so that we could record our show and make it seem more lively and realistic. I want to record a documentary that wasnt boring and could be watched by everyone. How does that sound? Mr. Lu, youre also amazed by Murous skills?
Zhou Yuhuai and Li Murou were old friends. He also knew about Li Murous rtionship with Lu Ting. He also knew about how much thedy did for Lu Ting in secret.
Standing from the perspective of a protector, he knew that he wasnt worthy of Li Murou. Of course, he hoped that she could be with a better man. Surprisingly, Lu Ting had joined the show this time. This was a good chance. Zhou Yuhuai did all he could to praise Li Murou.
The more Zhou Yuhuai tried to praise Li Murou in front of Lu Ting, the more he disliked her.
He thought back to the Swallow Dining Hall where everyone got drunk. He wondered if Li Murou had used some sort of drug in order to make people drunk and then hallucinate.
As for him, he probably lucked out because of something?
When Lu Ting returned to Lin Yueqis side, he saw her licking the bowl without a care for her image. He grabbed the bowl from Lin Yueqis hands and ced it to the side. He looked resentful and unhappy.
Seeing that Lu Ting barely touched the food in his bowl, Lin Yueqi recalled something. Her Father Lu was immune to Li Murous [Gourmet Food Deity] system.
Seeing that he was irritated due to hunger, Lin Yueqi got up and patted his head. Sit here for a bit. Ill go find some food.
Lin Yueqi quickly got a baguette and a jar of honey from the kitchen. She inserted the baguette on the skewer. She then sprinkled some water on top of the bread and then stuck it into the fire to bake.
The fire kept on evaporating the water on the surface of the baguette. Quickly, the hard baguette gave off a burnt but tasty scent. Lu Ting sniffed this and his stomach started growling. He couldnt control his hunger anymore.
Chapter 186 - Cook-off (2)

The recording of the documentary started the moment they got off the ne. Contrasting Li Murous culinary skills, Lin Yueqis baguette looked a bit in.
There were some staff drinking the thick bread soup and looking in Lin Yueqis direction. They eximed in low voices, Shes trying to copy Li Murou isnt she? Women just love topete with one another. She wont even let her boyfriend eat some proper food. Is he not going to break up with her?
There were some staff members that imagined themselves as Lu Ting. If their girlfriend refused to let him eat Li Murous delicious food but rather baked baguette, then theyd be furious for sure.
The other staff leaned against the tree and cupped the bowl. They also agreed, I finally know why Mr. Lu didnt marry her. Shes so hard to handle. This reallyshes immature isnt she? Thinking carefully about this now, they understood. It was normal for women to be jealous of other women. Otherwise, one wouldnt mimic someone elses idiosyncrasies but make a fool of themselves.
The staff members huddled together to drink the thick bread soup and all nodded in unison, agreeing.
Even Zhou Qing sitting by the bonfire couldnt take this anymore. He said, Sister Qin, dont you think this is a bit inappropriate? Everyones been in the car for an entire day. Were all tired and hungry. We finally get something to eat and you wont even let Brother Ting eat
While spinning the skewer around, Lin Yueqi said confusedly, Since when didnt I let him eat thick bread soup? Hes the one that thinks it tastes bad and refuses. Old Lu, am I right?
Lu Ting furrowed his brows and nodded. I might have a different taste from you guys but the food looks ck and unappealing. It also has a strong fishy smell. I really cant eat this.
Hearing this, Zhou Qing and Huang Hai sitting at the bonfire were speechless.
Mr. Lu was probably henpecked. He was scared to this degree. How was this thick bread soup disgusting? How did it look ck? It was clearly sparkling gold.
The twopanions stopped talking.
When the two got up to bring the bowls to the kitchen, they started discussing in low voices.
Huang Hai said, Zhou Qing, I think that Mr. Lu is too tragic. Thats why I said that if youre going to get married, you have to marry a virtuous woman. If you want to find a girlfriend, find a gentle and fitting one. Look. Mr. Lu was the grandson of a top millionaire but look at the point hes forced toHe couldnt even tell the truth or eat Murous delicious food. Im really curious. What will happen to him if he drinks it?
Zhou Qing snorted. What else could happen? She wont let him in bed at night and hed be forced to kneel on the washboard.
Not only did they tease Lu Ting like this, the other staff members also did so.
Li Murou found out that Lin Yueqi didnt let Lu Ting eat her food and instead, she went to bake a baguette for Lu Ting. This was enough to prove that Lin Yueqi was jealous of her. Standing from a mans perspective, he might be able to hold on for a while but could he do so for life? No matter how generous the man was, he would be unable to tolerate how unreasonable his girlfriend is. Lu Ting might not say anything now but sooner orter, the two would get into a fight.
Thinking of this, Li Murou couldnt help but feel a bit proud.
At this time, Lin Yueqi brought the baked bread to Lu Ting. She touched the surface and immediately pulled her hands back. She touched her earlobes and eximed, Ow, its so hot.
She puffed her cheeks and blew at the baked bread. She reached over after it became a bit cooler. She delivered half of it to the man and eximed, Taste this. It should taste pretty good after dipping it in honey. The honey here is original so it should be nice. When I was young, I went up the mountains to chase away the cow herds. Sometimes I cant make it back home in the afternoon so I would start a fire in the mountain to roast steamed buns and sweet potatoes. They taste crisp and delicious. Chubby bun also likes to eat roasted steamed buns and sweet potatoes too. But this is the first time trying out this method. Try it.

The moment he peeled the bread, one could hear the crisp crunch. Under a HD camera, there was steaming from the bread and it looked quite alluring.
If the photographer hadnt eaten Li Murous magical thick bread soup, hed definitely be drooling because of how good the baked bread smelled.
Because it had been baked a second time, the surface appeared quite crispy and golden-yellow.
Lu Ting grabbed the bread and dipped a bit of honey inside and ate it. The moment he brought the bread inside his mouth, he could hear the appealing crunch.
There was ayer of burnt fragrance on the surface of the baguette. While it was crispy, it was also hard to bite. After biting through theyer, there was steam rising. It was easy to bake the baguette. The simple tasty feeling made Lu Ting feel as if his stomach had found a home in contrast to Li Murous disgusting cuisine.
He ate the baguette with honey, reluctant to take big bites. He really enjoyed the taste of baguettes.
Lin Yueqi went to look for two oranges inside the kitchen. She used the blender to make two orange juices. She had done research beforeing to Africa. Apparently, the oranges here were really sweet and it was worth eating.
She was afraid that the things here might be dirty so she specially brought her own cups.
She had a pink one while Old Lu had a ck one.
After filling up the two cups, Lin Yueqi sat back down at the bonfire while humming a song. Lu Ting finished the baguette and felt his mouth dry. Coincidentally enough, Lin Yueqi delivered a cup of fresh orange juice over.
The orange juice was really sweet and it felt fresh as well.
When they were in the country, the orange juices that they drank were extracted from a blender. The blender would filter out the juice carefully. The oranges in the country were unlike the ones from Africa. The sweetness of the former couldnt bepared to thetter.
Lin Yueqi had extracted the orange juice from hand and there was still a faint bitter scent mixed within the fruit peel. However, when the bitterness wasbined with the sweetness, it became incredibly fresh and tasty.
Everyone pitied Lu ting seeing him enjoying himself.
Just how badly did Lin Yueqi treat him? He was actually able to withstand the temptation of Li Murous delicious food!
The photographer also pitied Lu ting a lot. He was unable to ept that Lu Ting was actually enjoying the food.
Baguette dipped in honey with a cup of fresh orange juice could be better than Li Murous thick bread soup?
The five guests were arranged to rest in tents. Because they werecking tents, Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting were arranged in the same tent.
The next morning, the five carried the tents and equipment, heading into the forest. Their mission was to find a wild elephant named Mark.
Half a year ago, Mark and his family were attacked by hunters. Luckily enough, Mark survived and hid into the forest. This was a disaster area for the hunters. Many organizations heard about Marks experiences and made their own teams to go into the forest to search for Mark. They nned on sending him to the conservation district built by the government.
Zhou Yuhuais [Natural Disaster Storm] team was invited by the local government to film the process of finding Mark so that more people would boycott ivory products and protect the wildlife. Of course, this show wasnt like a reality show. One wouldnt need to deal with multiple photographers.
There wouldnt be so many people entering the forest at the same time. Besides five guests, there were also three mercenaries and four photographers. Specialized staff members would stay outside the forest to control the drones and kept track of their whereabouts or transport rations.
Zhou Yuhuai was considered a precious director. He had filmed a lot of shows in Africa before. He had encountered armed forces attack and natural disasters destruction. Therefore, he was experienced in filming these kinds of shows.
Before filming this episode, he and his staff members had been stationed here for a while. They confirmed Marks location every day and worked to protect him so that the filmingter on would be sessful.

Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi went to a simple and crude public bath to shower. Then they returned to their tent to rest. The two slept on the same bed but each had their own sleeping bags.
After Lin Yueqi snuggled inside the sleeping bag, she took out her phone and video called Tuantuan.
Tuantuan answered and her chubby face appeared on camera. Because of the time difference, it was still afternoon in the country. Tuantuan was eating pulled noodles in the kindergartens dining hall.
After the chubby bun slurped the noodles, she said to the camera, Mommy, did you listen today? Did you anger daddy?
No, am I that sort of person? Lin Yueqi asked, Sister Tuan, how has your day been at the kindergarten? Did any ssmates bully you?
Little chubby bun shook her head and said, No. Mommy, let me tell you something. A new ssmate transferred over. Who do you think it is?
Who? Your dream lover?
Little chubby bun pursed her lips and eximed, Mumu isnt my dream lover. Hes my little brother!
Lin Yueqi was surprised. She messed with the man sitting in bed and reading a book. Old Lu, Song Renze also sent his son to Tuantuans school. He always wanted Mumu to marry Tuantuan. Say, he wants his son to win at the starting line doesnt he? So that he could get rid of any love rivals.
Lu Ting recalled Song Renze as well as his son. He flipped a few pages of his book and hmphed. That boy isnt worthy. Hes so simple-minded.
Lin Yueqi was speechless. You shouldnt be talking about the child like that.
Lu Ting didnt care about other peoples children nor did he care. But he minded whoever dared to put their eyes on his little chubby girl.
Tuantuan eximed woah hearing her fathers words. Daddy, you shouldnt be talking bad about Mumu. How is Mumu simple-minded?
Lu Ting felt as if there was a rock inside his chest. He felt really unwell. He grabbed Lin Yueqis phone and eximed in a serious face, Daughter, daddy wants you to study and not be disturbed by insignificant people or things. Youre going to be a well-known female businesswoman in the future so dont be influenced by young attractive men, okay?
He suddenly felt that it was okay for his daughter to find a stupid boyfriend.
Tuantuan clearly didnt understand her daddys words. She picked up the bowl and started drinking the soup. She finished and ced it down, wiping her mouth and looking satisfied. Daddy, I understand. Go and sleep with my mommy already! Tuantuan is a mature Tuantuan and knows not to disturb mommy and daddys sleep. Sleep soon, good night!
Little chubby girl blew a kiss at the camera, her cuteness overflowing.
Lin Yueqi shoved herself inside the sleeping bag and revealed just a head.
She sighed. Old Lu, I suddenly miss Sister Tuan a lot. Is this what love sickness feels like?
Damned lovesickness! Lu Ting ced his book down and turned the lights off, snuggling inside the sleeping bag. He eximed in a serious tone, Its really normal for a mother to miss their daughter.
Lin Yueqi was clearly tired but Lu Ting wasnt tired in the least bit.
In the pitch-ck tent, the mans deep voice rang, Youre asleep?
Yes. She closed her eyes and respondedzily.
Lu Ting asked, Do you really think Li Murous food is tasty?
Lin Yueqi could tell that he suspected everyones reaction. In order to make him feel better, shezily responded, Its okay. Miss Li is the directors good friend. Of course, everyone needs to give her face. Only you would be disdained to kiss up to her. Sleep now. Im really tired.
Lu Ting thought about what happened at Swallow Dining Hallst time and asked, Thenst time at Swallow Dining Hall, you guys
Shes an inte celebrity. We need to give her face. As for us getting drunkwe probably ate something before the meal. I dont remember. Okay, okay. Lets sleep already. Why do you care about Li Murou? You want to go to her tent?
Lin Yueqi yawned.
Lu Ting immediately got in bed and said nothing.
He was really scared of Lin Yueqi misunderstanding him and throwing a tantrum. Although the conditions were hard right now, there was at least baked bread and fresh orange juice. If he offended Lin Yueqi, he probably wouldnt even get to eat baked bread dipped in honey anymore right?
If he had to eat Li Murous disgusting cuisine
Lu Ting shivered. He shuddered thinking about the fishy smell of the thick bread soup.
Chapter 189 - Junk Food (1)
Ch.189 Junk Food(1)
In the dead of night, guests and staff members had fallen asleep. Li Murou was still arranging her luggages.
She remembered the first time that she went inside the forest a few years ago. She had brought seasonings and convenient kitchen tools. But now that she had [Gourmet Food Deity] system, she didnt need those items anymore.
To chefs, not only was the ingredients important, seasonings were just as important. The main food in this camp was dry bread and canned food. Even if she had skills, she wouldnt be able to make any delicious food. Under this situation, she could only rely on the [Gourmet Food Deity] system.
Obviously, her actual skills wereckingpared to the system.
With the system, she naturally considered her own skills to be cheap and inexpensive, something that she wouldnt disy.
Ever since she had the [Gourmet Food Deity] system, she was toozy to think about how to make food whenever she encountered a little trouble. Sometimes, shed even forget about the ingredients natural taste.
She truly knew how strong [Gourmet Food Deity] system was so she naturally wasnt afraid of anything.
Not only could the system change everyones vision and taste, they could also change the audiences vision. This was why she was able to be an Inte celebrity with just a few gourmet food videos.
Zhou Qing and Huang Hai were both not used to eating things abroad so they specially brought some hot pickled mustard tuber, ramen, and other domestically produced food.
In reality, if the system wasnt attacked, she would also be safe.
Five in the morning on the second day. Before it was even bright outside, the staff members and guests all got out of bed and started packing up, preparing to venture inside the forest.
Early autumn mornings were usually cold and the temperature was quite low.
Lin Yueqi climbed out of bed. It might be because she didnt sleep wellst night but she felt dizzy. The staff members stood outside and called them, Brother Ting, Sister Qi, Murou finished cooking. Quicklye and eat. Were having thick bread soup again.
They dragged thest word out long as if emphasizing some sort of delicious food.
Lu Ting recalled the fishy scent fromst night and couldnt help but vomit. Lin Yueqi quickly climbed out from her sleeping bag and went to wear her shoes, casually putting her hair up and getting ready to get out of the tent.
Lu Ting pulled her and knitted his brows, eximing, Dont you dare.
Lets go eat. One cant function properly on an empty stomach. Youll be skinny if you dont eat. Lin Yueqi said.
Lu Ting hesitated momentarily before saying her unreliable guess, Li Murour probably knows some nts and medicine. I always feela bit strange eating her food. My guess might be ridiculous but my instinct tells me that she has a major part in people getting drunk at Swallow Dining Hallst time. Dont eat her food in the future. I dont quite like her. Im afraid that she will hurt you.
Lin Yueqi blinked at him and then gave him a thumbs up. Old Lu, I have to admire your reasoning. Youve guessed pretty much right. In reality, she has an extraterrestrial system to help her. After the optimization of the system, the food that she makes will taste incredibly tasty. With this gold finger, I can also make incredible food, and even be the best chef within China and the world too.
Lu Ting looked at her and then flicked her forehead. You have a creative imagination. You can consider recording this story and then telling your children about this.
Lin Yueqi covered her forehead and red at him. Just because you havent seen some things, doesnt mean it doesnt exist. Sister Tuan isnt that childish. She wont listen to these stories.
She turned and took out two cups of ramen from her backpack. She added a soy egg and half a ham. After adding the condiments, she delivered the two cups to Lu Ting and ordered, Go get some boiled water. Im going to wash my face and brush my teeth. Right. The cup with the longer ham is mine. Dont you try swapping or eating my ham.
Chapter 190 - Junk Food (2)
Ch.190 Junk Food(2)
Lu Ting thought that sometimes, he was really raising two daughters.
He nodded and brought the two cups of ramen to the kitchen.
The camps kitchen was a simply built thatched hut. By the time he arrived, Li Murou was distributing thick bread soup to the staff members. Everyone seemed to be engrossed in their foods.
He added water to the two cups of ramen by himself and then sealed the lid with forks, and then walked back with them.
Before leaving the kitchen, he looked curiously at the pot full of food.
The bread had be muddled inside the pot. With the addition of canned food, the pot full of food was indescribable. Under the white light, the pot of food seemed to be specially prepared for the domestic pigs by the farmers on the farm.
He was disgusted with the things inside the pot and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, trying to suppress his disgust.
Li Murou was a chef and had been impacted by her father as a child, so how could she possibly make such barely passable food? Indeed, making thick soup was the best choice for distribution of food but she shouldnt have made it so half-heartedly.
Even if she simmered the pot with hotpot base ingredients and added bread and potatoes, it should definitely be much better than this, no?
Lu Ting really admired Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan thinking of this.
The day before they went abroad, Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan had pulled him to the supermarket to buy lots of things. In that, they bought hotpot base ingredients the most. After that, it was hot pickled mustard tuber. Tuantuan even threw lots of junk food inside the cart. There were soy eggs, hams, spicy sticks
Back then, he thought that the mother and daughter pair were childish but it seems like these items were best for keeping them alive.
Needless to say, [Natural Disaster Storm] was indeed a good show. But the staff members here kissed up to the person of power. They went against their consciences andplimented Li Murous food. One would hold their actions in contempt. She was just a directors friend and they praised her to this point. He was the grand CEO of Qiancheng Group so why didnt he get this treatment?
Therefore, in the program group, the sugar daddys status was worse than the director and the directors friend? Heh.
Li Murou was in charge of distributing food and she noticed Lu Tings expression as well. She chuckled silently seeing him swallowing his saliva nonstop. She nced at the two cups of ramen in Lu Tings hands and understood why Lu Ting swallowed his saliva.
What sort of deranged torture was this? There was delicious food in front of him but he wasnt allowed to eat it. He had to eat ramen instead.
She didnt advise Lu Ting to eat her food either because she knew that Lu Ting was subjected to torture right now. The more torture he had to endure, the more he would resent Lin Yueqi for controlling him.
Zhou Qing had been helping on the side and he saw Lu Tings face paling as he swallowed his saliva. Therefore, he said, Brother Ting, why dont you eat something? Ramen really has no taste. Just bring two bowls of thick bread soup back to Sister Qi. She wont say anything for sure.
Lu Ting looked at Zhou Qing and said in a serious face, Sorry, Ie from a strict household. Were not allowed to eat these things.
After that, he carried the two cups of ramen and returned to his tent under everyones pitiful gazes.
Not long after he left, a staff member brought a bowl over and said, I didnt think that Lin Yueqi was that troublesome. She wont even let him eat a good breakfast. Instead, she made him eat junk food like this. Murou, your food is delicious. Were going to miss you when youre not here!
Li Murou smiled and eximed, Thank you guys for remembering me.
Chapter 191 - Junk Food (3)
Ch.191 Junk Food(3)
Someone else mentioned, So what if a female celebrity looks good? Shes just a pretty face. Not only that, shes also troublesome. I feel bad for Mr. Lu. But seeing him swallowing his saliva when looking at the food, I bet he must resent Lin Yueqi.
How could he not? She didnt let him eat a good breakfast. Instead, she made him eat that junk food. If it was you, wouldnt you resent her?
Everyone chatted about Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi.
Li Murou said, Enough, lets stop talking about them. Brother Ting loves his face and dislikes people talking behind his back. I know everyone likes my food but dont praise me in exchange for talking smack about Lin Yueqis food. Thank you.
Everyone thought that they shouldnt talk behind peoples backs either so they agreed. There was a hidden meaning behind Li Murous words. Someone got it.
Murou, you and Mr. Lu knew each other as children? Otherwise, how did you know that he loves his face as a child.
Li Murou didnt hide anything. My father is Brother Tings familys head chef and I grew up in the Lu Faimily. Thats why I know him quite well.
Everyone was surprised hearing her words, just like Zhou Qing and Huang Hai.
No wonder Li Murou called Lu Ting as Brother Ting the day of the test. It turns out that they did know each other?
Then why did Lu Ting pretend that he didnt know Li Murou? Was there a story behind this?
The staff members were bored of this ce and had been here for a long time. Therefore, whenever there was a tiny bit of news, that would be the source of their conversation.
Clearly, Li Murou and Lu Tings rtionship had led to many guesses.
After they left, someone secretly asked, Did you guys know? Lin Yueqi was only able to attend this show because of Li Murou and the director.
Really? Li Murou said that she grew up with Lu Ting. To speak the truth, Im imagining a show between the big shots
Hehe. So Li Murou was his first love? And Lin Yueqi is his current girlfriend?
What sort of melodramatic show is this? I stan LuLi.
We wont be so bored in the next month or so. At the very least, well get to watch shows. But Li Murou is really good at cooking and shes also really beautiful. There are countless people pursuing her. They can line up from Africa to Europe already! I heard that the director had pursued her before but she didnt agree. Think. Shes so outstanding but shes still single, why? That means that theres someone irreceable in her heart.
If Lu Ting is really Li Murous first lovehow sad must she be? Every day, she needs to watch her ex sleep with another woman. It feels incredibly bitter.
Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting were ignorant to what happened outside. The two sat in the tent and used the wooden boxes as tables while the wooden pile as low stools. They were sitting across from each other eating instant noodles.
Lin Yueqi quickly finished the ham. She nced at the ham in Lu Tings bowl anxiously awaiting.
The man noticed her gaze. He thought back to when he and his little chubby girl went out to eat beef.
Little chubby girl enjoyed eating meat. When they were eating beef noodles, she would finish eating the beef first. After that, she would purse her lips and look longingly at Lu Tings bowl. At this time, Lu Ting would give all the beef there was in his bowl to his daughter.
Little chubby girl would smile after getting her daddys food. Then she would say, Daddy, youre the best daddy in the world! Tuantuan loves you!
Lin Yueqi was looking at the ham in his bowl the same way his little chubby girl looked at the beef in his bowl.
Lu Ting chuckled and ced the ham in her bowl. Afraid that the man might go back on his words, Lin Yueqi shoved the rest of the ham in her mouth.
She received Lu Tings gaze afterwards and immediately felt guilty.
Chapter 192 - Junk Food (4)
Ch.192 Junk Food(4)
They werecking food in camp. hams were scarce. She took a bite of Lu Tings ham and then wondered if she was being too mean. He was already skinny enough and it didnt look good if he didnt eat meat.
She promised her little chubby girl that she wouldnt bully Lu Ting. Thinking of this, she removed the ham from her mouth and then rinsed it over the water, putting it back in his bowl.
Oh, dont call me stingy. I left a bite for you.
Lu Ting watched as she shoved the ham in her mouth and then took it out again. Then she bit it and delivered it to him. He looked speechlessly at the ham with her saliva and then said, Miss Lin, do you know that what youre doing right now is very unsanitary?
He had never eaten food spat out from someones mouth.
I rinsed it over waterit should be really sanitary? Lin Yueqi couldnt endure his criticizing gaze. In a wronged tone, We already have a kid and did all the intimate things too. Dont mind us kissing indirectly then.
Lu Ting still wore a serious face.
Lin Yueqi admitted defeat. Okay, okay. Lets not talk about sanitation. Just eat the side that I didnt bite on. Okay?
Lu Ting lost to her but thought that her words were reasonable at the same time.
Although he subconsciously thought that it was unsanitary to put something that someone had eaten into his mouth, he wasnt against her saliva.
Theyve done the most intimate things already so why would he care about this? But he was sincerely trying to give this half of a ham to her. But if he gave it back to her now, she might really think that he disliked her.
Therefore, in order to make it seem like he didnt mind her, he gave the ham back and then took a strand of noodle that she had bitten from her bowl.
He didnt forget to remind her, Eat quickly. Were tight on time.
Lin Yueqi watched as he took her noodles from her and she really wanted to cry.
Father Lu held a strong grudge against her, it seems.
After eating breakfast, the group of people prepared to head out at six on time.
Like yesterday, Lin Yueqi wore a camouge outfit with specialized outdoor shoes. She had trained a month in America and lost ten pounds.
Because Father Lu made sure to supervise her training, she was now one hundred thirty pounds and even foreigners love her figure.
Ten in the morning, the forest turned warm. Lin Yueqi removed her jacket and her shirt was covered in sweat an
She had arge chest with a plump butt. She was beautiful and looked good on the cameras. People didnt feel like she was fat at all. The photographermented with feelings. No wonder they were looking for celebrity guests for the documentary. With a beautiful face and figure, they could indeed attract peoples attention.
Lu Ting noticed that after Lin Yueqi removed her jacket, a few men and mercenaries were staring at her chest. His possessiveness made him unhappy. He followed Lin Yueqis side closely and stood next to her to prevent peoples gazes.
They needed to stay in the forest for a really long time. It was probably difficult for them to return to camp. As a result, Lin Yueqi shoved a lot of things in her backpack.
Zhou Qing nced at her bulky backpack and teased, Sister Qi, whats in your bag? Arent you tired to carry all these things?
Oh, these are life-savers. Lin Yueqi counted on her fingers, Hot pickled mustard tuber, spicy sticks, chocte, and some very good hardtack.
Zhou Qing didnt know whether tough or cry. We have Murou. Will you even end up using these things? Huang Hai and I brought only two boxes of hardtacks. There are countless foods in the forest and well never run out. Murou could make anything in the forest into delicious food. We wont be needing the rations and whatnot. Otherwise, why do you think the director would invite her? So that she could improve the lifestyle of the team members in the forest.
Although Lin Yueqi knew that Li Murou had a strong system gold finger, she felt insecure because it wasnt hers.
What if Li Murous gold finger suddenly died?
Chapter 193 - Goddess, You’re Good The Way You Are! (1)
Ch.193 Goddess, Youre Good The Way You Are!(1)
Huang Hai and Li Murou, as well as a mercenary, stood side by side. The two men protected Li Murou, afraid that she might get into any ident.
After all, Li Murou was their safeguard for the next month. Each person carried about twenty-five pounds of equipment. Because Li Murou was really likable, people offered to carry her things for her and she epted frankly.
Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi walked side by side in the middle. Zhou Qin, photographers, and two other mercenaries were behind them.
Lu Ting offered to carry Lin Yueqis equipment but she was firm on saying no.
To her, there was nothing more safe than leaving her food by her side.
Lei Ta, a mercenary, mocked Lin Yueqi in English for putting junk food in her backpack. Are you here on vacation or here to work? You really act as if youre here on a holiday.
Though Lin Yueqis memories stopped at highschool, her English wasnt bad either. She understood the other party. She subconsciously retorted after hearing Lei Tas ridicule, Were here to search for an asian elephant, not here to seek death and starve. There is a saying in China. That is food is the God of the people. Food can protect us. Plus, no matter how heavy my things are, did I ask you guys for help? Since I didnt, what are you yapping for?
She went on a tangent. Zhou Qing admired her and said in a low voice, Theyre the bosses now that were in the forest. Be polite. Dont you see the guns in their hands?
Lin Yueqi chuckled. Will he understand if I talk in Chinese?
Zhou Qing agreed. These foreigner mercenaries didnt understand Chinese.
From Lin Yueqis tone, Lei Ta could tell that there was a hidden meaning behind her words. He questioned her in English, his expression sinister. He looked quite terrifying.
Lin Yueqi nned on just beating around the bush in English when she heard Lu Ting talking in fluent English, tranting her words.
Lin Yueqi was speechless.
Zhou Qing didnt know what to say.
Lei Ta red at Lin Yueqi and then stopped talking, continuing to walk.
Lin Yueqi patted her chest and poked Lu Ting with a branch. Father Lu, are you getting revenge on me? Why did you trante my words?
I want him to know that this is our matter and it has nothing to do with him.
Lin Yueqi murmured, Men are men. Dont you know to be more tactful? He must hate me to death.
Lu Ting didnt think there was anything wrong with this. First of all, this would lead the other party to restrain himself and maintain a bnced attitude towards the two women and let him also know that Lin Yueqi wasnt easily bullied. Secondly, he wanted the man to act like a man and stop looking back at Lin Yueqi.
After two months of intense training. Lin Yueqis figure became really sexy and perfect. Because she had epted outdoor training in America, her original smooth and fair skin had be tanned. From Lu Tings perspective, he thought that Lin Yueqi was much prettier right now than the skinny her in the past.
Now, Lin Yueqi possesses eastern peoples face but looks healthy and beautiful like western people. With a well-rounded chest and plump butt, paired with her t stomach and abs, shed definitely attract attention wearing a bikini.
Luckily enough, Lin Yueqi wore a deep green-colored shirt and camouge trousers. It also covered half of her well-rounded figure. But even so, it attracted some guys greedy gazes.
China, A City.
Tuantuan woke up from her nightmare again. It was the same nightmare.
In the little chubby girls dream, Lin Yueqi had a really serious depression and started having extreme thoughts.
Her mommy hit her and she felt really upset, swearing that shed never talk to her mommy anymore. Even more, she cried and said that her mommy was a bad woman.
The scene changed. Her mommy had dressed up prettily and picked her up from the kindergarten without her daddy knowing. She brought her to a yground to y.
She originally swore to hate her mommy forever but then her heart suddenly softened. She hugged her mommys neck and kissed her, happily calling her mother.
But the second day, Lin Yueqimitted suicide and left her forever.
Tuantuan woke up from her dream and nced at the ceiling and her surroundings. The scene in the dream had be vague but she still felt the sorrowful feeling. It was like needles pricking at her heart.
Little chubby girl sat on the bed for a while before crying out loud.
Lin Yu was making breakfast with Grandmother Jiang downstairs when she suddenly heard noises upstairs. She hurriedly wiped her hands and said, Oh my, my little ancestor is crying again.
Chapter 194 - Goddess, You’re Good The Way You Are! (2)
Ch.194 Goddess, Youre Good The Way You Are!(2)
Grandmother Jiang picked up thedle from her and urged, Quickly go check on her. She might have another nightmare again. Why is such a little girl having nightmares every day? Could it be that she touched something dirty? Why dont we
Im thinking about this toocheck on the pot for me. Ill go upstairs to check. Lin Yu removed her apron and hurried upstairs.
Today was the weekend. Grandmother Jiang brought Jiang Mucheng and two old hens over to Lin Yueqis vi.
Tuantuan had just woken up. Lin Yu didnt think that her little chubby girl had a nightmare again. She hurried upstairs to coax her.
But as Lin Yu walked upstairs, Jiang Mucheng entered the room before her.
They were sitting on the carpet and ying on theputer.
Jiang Mucheng usually didnt let anyone touch herputer but in order to coax little chubby girl, she gave her treasure to her. Seeing that she wasnt crying anymore, Lin Yu stood by the door and quietly watched for a while.
Tuantuan and Jiang Mucheng detected Lin Yu standing at the door so they lifted their heads and shifted their gazes over.
Tuantuan rubbed her red and swollen eyes, her voice still carrying a crying tone, Granny, Tuantuan is fine. I just had another nightmare. Granny, you can go to work. Dont mind Tuantuan. Ill y with Old Cheng for a while.
Jiang Mucheng shot her a foolish smile and said, Old Cheng will y with Tuantuan too.
Lin Yu sighed and feltforted. She ordered, Tuantuan, if youre unhappy in any way, you have to tell granny. Dont keep it inside you, okay?
Tuantuan nodded firmly. Yes, granny.
Tuantuan returned theputer to Jiang Mucheng after Lin Yu left and pursed her lips. Old Cheng, yourputer is pitch-ck. Theres nothing inside. Its not fun.
Seeing that shes still unhappy, Jiang Mucheng felt bad. She patted Tuantuans head and said, Tuantuan, dont cry.
Tuantuan recalled her dream and tears streamed down again. She lifted her chubby hands and rubbed her eyes. But Tuantuan is so upset. Tuantuan misses mommy a lot and wants to see mommy and daddy every day. Old Cheng, is there a way for me to see mommy and daddy?
Jiang Mucheng shook her head clumsily.
Little chubby girl sat criss-crossed on bed and cupped her face, sighing. I miss mommy and daddy so much. I want to see them so much. But theyre in the forest and there are no signals. Tuantuan cant see them
Jiang Mucheng felt her heart aching seeing Tuantuans swollen eyes. She really wanted Tuantuan to see her mommy and daddy every day too
She turned herptop on and bit her lips gently, clumsily typing: I hope Tuantuan can see her mommy and daddy every day.
After that, Jiang Mucheng followed suit and sat criss-crossed, cupping her face, worrying and in a daze.
In the afternoon, Grandmother Jiang and Lin Yu made lunch. There were three dishes with chicken.
Jiang Mucheng and Tuantuan had just sat down when Li Xing suddenly came over.
Lin Yue went to open the door for him and the man walked in, sitting on the table without a care. He gurgled some water and then looked at Jiang Mucheng. Old Cheng, youre here too?
Though Jiang Mucheng was a foolish girl, she held grudges. Even now, she still remembered Li Xing calling her a fool. She turned her head over and went to eat her chicken wings, ignoring him.
Tuantuan was on Jiang Muchengs side. She also turned her head over and ignored Li Xing.
Seeing the two treating him coldly, Li Xing also hmphed. Who cares? Im here to tell you some good news.
Lin Yu brought an extra bowl and chopsticks over and asked, Whats the good news? Could it be that Qiqi and Little Lu areing back?
Not really. Li Xing said, I invested in a live broadcast tform and we are coborating with [Natural Disaster Storm]. That means that starting today, scenes of Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting in Africas forest will appear on the live broadcast and there wont be any editing. Of course, the live broadcast is just limited to China. Once this show is finished filming, editing will urter on and then paired with specialized peoples dubbing andmentaries, it will be broadcasted on China Central Television and channels abroad.
He said all of this but Lin Yu didnt really understand.
Grandmother took a sip of soup and said, Little Li, can you say it in simple terms? We dont understand.
Tuantuan was the first to understand. She pped the table and stood on the chair, widening her eyes and asking, Uncle Li, youre saying that starting this afternoon, I can see mommy and daddy through the video?
Right. Li Xing snapped his fingers. Thats right.
Chapter 195 - Goddess, You’re Good The Way You Are! (3)
Ch.195 Goddess, Youre Good The Way You Are!(3)
Li Xing looked at his watch. Oh, its almost time. Tuantuan, wheres your tablet? Bring it over. You can see your mommy and daddy right away!
Tuantuan couldnt attend to eating and she immediately went upstairs to grab her tablet.
At the same time, the inte was in an uproar.
[Natural Disaster Storm] was actually being broadcast live broadcasted. This was too unbelievable. But from the documentary style, there was no editing or dubbing. It might be really boring.
Who knew that the moment the live broadcast started, their faces were pped!
The broadcast started the moment the group entered the forest. The online users almost had nosebleeds just looking at Lin Yueqis chest and butt.
Damn, Lin Yueqi has a great figure.
Look at her slender legs and huge chest! Ahhh, so sexy! Goddess, dont lose weight anymore. Just like this. You look pretty good. [covers face.]
Eh? Thatsmy little fairy Murou!
Right! Its little fairy Murou. Oh my god. Who is this godly director? Are you trying to make [Natural Disaster Storm] into a culinary show?
Friendly warning, Director Zhou Yuhuai is the director of [China on the Tip of Tongue].
Africa.
Six in the evening, the group entered deep inside the forest. Because it was difficult to travel at night, they stopped and found a spacious ground to pitch camps.
To make it easy to get around, the group only carried three tents. The two girls would sleep in the same tent while the other men would share the other two.
After they finished pitching tents, everyone eagerly waited to eat delicious food.
Li Murou took out tools from her backpack and said to everyone, We need to take advantage of the light and find some ingredients to make food. I need someone to search for ingredients with me.
Her gazended on Lu Ting who was idling his time away. She thought that he wouldnt reject her request. Brother Ting, Zhou Qing, you guys cane with me. Oaky? Huang Hai, you and Sister Qi can stay to set up fire.
Zhou Qing raised his hand happily, Sure! Your wish is mymand, goddess! Then he patted Lu Tings shoulders and said, Brother Ting, lets go. Were going to get to eat delicious food tonight.
Lu Ting rejected without even batting his eyes. He sat on the rock and lowered his head as he peeled the branch with a knife. No worries. Qiqi and I can just use the ingredients avable and save stamina.
Li Murous expression changed after being rejected. She couldnt help but knit her brows.
Zhou Qing hurriedly kneeled down and said to Lu Ting in a small voice, Brother Ting, I know you have a strict household but its not time for you to follow the rules right now. Weve walked for the entire day and were low on stamina. We need to eat in order to replenish stamina. Lei Ta wille with us. He has a gun and experience in hunting. We can just go and help him. It wont take too much energy. You know that since the start of this show, there is no such thing as status. If you want to eat something, you need to work for it. Brother Thing, though you have an extraordinary status, you
Before she could finish, Lu Ting interrupted, Sorry, its not because were unwilling to help but because were not used to Miss Lis food. Plus, Qiqi and I believe that there is water and fish here. We dont need to waste our energy to go into the forest.
Li Murou smiled. Brother Ting, dont misunderstand us. Were not forcing you to work. I think that weve been tired the entire day so just eating fish wont replenish our stamina. Lei Ta said that there are wild boars inside the forest. He has a gun and we can hunt boars to eat. The remaining boar meat can be roasted. Then we can bring it with us and eat this for the next month
Before she could finish, Lu Ting cut her off again. He looked at Lei Ta and then at Li Murou. Were here to search for the asian elephant and not here on vacation.
Lin Yueqi wiped her sweat inside the tent and then walked out with a towel, kneeling by the creek and wiping her face. She said, Fish has high protein and it can satisfy the needs of our bodies. Since thats the case, why bother wasting bullets to hunt wild boars inside the forest? Were justplicating simple things. Dont you think this is going against our initial motive? Sister Rourou, dont you think so?
The two echoed one another and reasoned, making L Murou feel awkward.
In the end, Zhou Qing mediated the situation and said, They dont want to eat but we do. Murou, Huang Hai and I will apany you.
Li Murou nodded and nced at Lu Ting sitting by the creek and peeling a wooden stick. She wore aplicated expression.
Chapter 196 - Goddess, You’re Good The Way You Are! (4)
Ch.196 Goddess, Youre Good The Way You Are!(4)
After they left, Lin Yueqi ced the dry towel on the tree branch. She asked Lu Ting, Wild boar meat tastes pretty good too. We dont usually get to eat something like this. You really dont wan to try?
Lu Ting looked at her and delivered the peeled wooden stick to her. Do you still remember what I told you? No need to pursue delicious food. As long as you dont die from starvation, thats good.
Lin Yueqi received the wooden stick from her hands and rolled her sleeves up. I think youre just too careful. Arent you afraid that I wont be able to catch a single fish and youll be left starving?
Ten minutes ago, Lu Ting casually asked her what they were eating tonight after they finished setting up the tents. She lifted her hands to point at the shallow creek. Fish.
Lu Ting wore a solemn expression. But we dont have fishing tools.
Lin Yueqi replied, I knew youre an ignorant city person. Have you watched historical dramas? Go find a wooden stick with a sharp tip. Ill catch er on.
Now, Lin Yueqi held the fishing gear Lu Ting had sharpened as she stepped towards the creek, eager to try.
They had no idea that this show was on live broadcast.
In the live broadcast, the videogged a bit so they were still seeing Lu Ting rejecting Li Murou to search for food in the forest.
Thements section.
Lu Ting is a bit too aloof isnt he? Wait, wait for my Sister Murou to cook delicious food and make you regret it. Your fault for beingzy. Just watch my Sister Murous food and drool!
+1. After all, theres a rainbow glow whenever my Sister Murou cooks. Hehehe.
Mn. Theres no need for special effects for Sister Murous cooking. She brings her own special effects!
A group of statues? You can tell from Li Murous previous videos that there are special effects, okay? Are you guys joking around? You really think that your Sister Murou is Chka Ichiban!? She could make fried rice into rainbow farts?
Right, your Lin Yueqi is the coolest. She has slender legs and a big chest. Trying to catch fish? More like shes going to get caught in this.
This insultingment angered Lin Yueqis fans.
In thements section, Lu Ting, Lin Yueqis fans, and Li Murous fans started fighting.
After all, the film emperor approved of Li Murou. Even the film emperors fans helped her out. Of course, Lin Yueqi wasnt more popr than the film emperor. Lu Ting was an amateur. Though he was popr, he has way less fanspared to super celebrities.
Therefore, more and more people helped Li Murou out.
Lin Yueqi lifted the wooden stick and aimed at a fish the size of her palm. She quickly stabbed it in the water.
By the time she picked it up again, there was a fish on the tip of the stick.
Lu Ting chuckled at Lin Yueqis action and also stepped into the water. He carefully received the fish from Lin Yueqi. Who knew that this fish started sshing around and almost slipped from his hands.
Lin Yueqi tossed the wooden stick and helped him catch fish. But she lost her bnce and fell back.
Lu Ting kicked the fish that was about to fall back into the creek onto the shore as if she was kicking a ser ball and pulled Lin Yueqi over. Who knew that by pulling her over, he also slipped and like Lin Yueqi, he fell into the water.
Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting fell into the water together. The mans body was pressed against hers and then he pressed her under the water.
The water was above their knees. Just as Lin Yueqis back of her head was about to bump into the rock in the creek, Lu Ting quickly cupped the back of her head and saved her head. But this also caused Lu Ting to indirectly kiss Lin Yueqi.
The two kissed each other and sunk into the creek.
Lin Yueqi widened her eyes and watched the man kissing her. Her heart raced and she widened her eyes. She pped him in the water.
Because the water had a cushioning force, the p didnt hurt or anything. Instead, it felt like she was caressing his face.
The moment Lu Ting kissed Lin Yueqi, he felt his blood flow to his head and then a bang.
Because he froze for a moment, he really didnt know whether Lin Yueqi was caressing his faceor pping him.
On the other side, Li Murou and Zhou Qing sessfully hunted a quite small wild boar with the mercenaries help.
As they were heading back, Li Murou heard a ding.
[Gourmet Food Deity] system: Ding~ The male and female lead has five ambiguous points. You will now need to ept six hours of [trash food] punishment~ Be careful while cooking.
Li Murou froze.
Zhou Qing and the mercenary, Lei Ta, were chatting with each other.
Zhou Qing patted Lei Tas chest and said, Brother, dont worry. Our Miss Li is Chinas first inte cooking celebrity. Youll get to try out her true skills soon! The bread and canned food on camp cant disy her actual skills!
Lei Ta started drooling and he eximed excitedly, Oh, my goodness. Thats my honor!
Chapter 197 - The Strong President (1)
Ch.197 The Strong President(1)
On the way back to the camp, Li Murous expression was really unwell.
She heard Zhou Qing and Lei Tas conversation, her face pale like paper. She never thought that she just left for a while and this caused Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting to produce more ambiguous points. She regretted leaving and not looking after them.
Huang Hai saw that her expression was off. He asked, Murou, how are you? Do you feel a bit unwell?
Oh, no Li Murou was still dumbstruck, not sure how to clean up the messter on.
Her punishmentsted for six hours which meant that she couldnt make anything for anyone during this time. The moment she made something for them to eat, the people would think the food tastes like garbage. That would put her in an incredibly difficult situation.
While she was thinking about how to clean up the mess, they arrived at camp already.
At the creek, the soaked Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting had captured dozens of fish and they lined them up neatly on the cobblestone, waiting to dissect them.
Lin Yueqi stood by the side, wiping her mouth nonstop. She knitted her brows as if she was really angry. Lu Ting was a bit tragic. He kneeled there scraping off the fish scales and dissecting it, feeling wronged however.
Right now, Lin Yueqi was like the Red Wolf from Pleasant Goat and Big Bad Wolf. She was justcking a pan to hit Lu Ting.
As for Lu Ting who was kneeling there and doing what she wanted, was like the henpecked Big Bad Wolf. He didnt think there was anything wrong with the womans stinky expression. Instead, he wore a smile and happily took on the job of dissecting fish.
Zhou Qing and Huang Hai ced the wild boar down and questioned the mercenary guarding the camp. Geier, what happened to those two?
Geier ced his polished knife away and told them about how the two fell into the water trying to catch fish. Because they had submerged under water for a while, they didnt know what happened. They thought that the woman was just angry at her boyfriends clumsiness and was now punishing him.
Zhou Qing looked at the two and thought that they were a pair of buffoons.
But standing from a mans perspective, he pitied Mr. Lu. He was from an influential family and incredibly wealthy. He could have all sorts of women. Yet, he yielded to Lin Yueqi time after time. It seemed as if he would do anything for this woman.
In the live broadcast, there were more female fans. Standing from a womans perspective, everyone thought that Lu Ting and Lin Yueqis interactions were cute and sweet.
Thements section.
Woah, my Qiqi actually caught a fish. Shes the real expert okay? Qiqi, good job! Eat fish! Dont you feel your faces pped? Those that said that Qiqi cant capture fish?
Damn, did Lin Yueqi just tug on President Lus ears? Fhe can tolerate this? If I was a man, I wouldveforcibly kissed her!
Why am I so happy that Mr. Lu was forced to work? Hahaha, I cant believe I get to see a domineering president getting bullied.
Hahahaha. What is this plot? Imughing too hard!
I dont want to see them. So annoying. What are they bragging for? So what if they know how to catch fish? We want to see Sister Murou!
I also want to see little fairy Murou. You can tell that theyre just acting. A domineering president will listen to a female celebritys words? Dont joke around. Theyre just acting. Hes so wealthy and can get any woman he wants so why her?
Turn the camera to my Sister Murou! I dont want to emphasize this anymore. I want to see Sister Murou!
The photographers cameras could be transmitted through the satellite and then transfer the video back to the camp. Then the director could upload it to the inte for live broadcast.
Though it was a live broadcast, there was also a time difference, about a twenty or so minutes difference.
While the online users requested for the camera to turn to Li Murou, everyone huddled around a firece in the camp.
Chapter 198 - The Strong President (2)
Ch.198 The Strong President(2)
The fire was zing. Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting were putting fish on the tree branches. Because Lu Ting had made a mistake today, he didnt dare to look at her. He did whatever was asked of him. He was really obedient and didnt dare to say no at all.
He was clumsy, clearly never having done these things before. Seeing that he was doing the wrong thing, Lin Yueqi pped his back and eximed rudely, Father Lu, you dont even know how to put the fish on skewers? Little chubby girl does a better job than you!
This wasnt the first time Lu Ting got scolded. He epted the scolding and said, I know and I will improve.
Lin Yueqi nodded in satisfaction and patiently taught him again.
They were putting fish on skewers but on Li Murous side, there was a tense situation.
Lei Ta and Zhou Qing worked the entire night. They skinned the boar and then cleaned the internal organs just for Li Murou to say that they couldnt eat the wild boar tonight. Instead, they were having hardtacks.
Lei Ta was famished. He had been looking forward to dinner when the other party suddenly said this. He felt as if a bowl of cold water had been poured over his head.
The mans voice was loud like thunder. What? You must be joking right? You said that you can cook delicious food tonight. Ive been working all day long, helping you kill wild boar, skinning it for you, and cleaning the internal organs. Now youre going to tell me this? Youre joking right.
Zhou Qing felt a bit upset as well. He was also really hungry. He was famished and tired.
He worked the entire night and now she wanted them to eat hardtacks? Whoever in their ce would be unhappy.
Zhou Qing suppressed his emotions and said in a happy tone, Murou, look. When we went to hunt the wild boar, you said that youll make us a table of delicious food. Now that we hunted a boar, skinned it, and cleaned it, youre saying that youre not cooking tonight. The fire is zing as well. What are we going to eat instead then?
Lin Yueqi had fish but it was clear that their group was split into two teams. The people by Li Murous side couldnt lower their pride to ask Lin Yueqi for fish.
Li Murou felt like she was in a difficult situation too. The time isnt right. The wild boar hasnt matured yet and if we kill it right now, we wont get to taste the freshness. Put it there for six hours and then Ill cook it. Itd be incredibly delicious. Trust me. Im a cook. I want food to be disyed in its perfect state.
Lei Ta hollered, We dont care about its appearance. We just want to eat! You can just cook whatever and well eat it. You can use the remaining meat to make it perfect tomorrow, okay?
Zhou Qing also said, Right, Murou. You cant let us eat hardtacks when we have food avable. Were here to search for asian elephants and not here to enjoy ourselves. You can just make some casual food. Well eat what you cook. That pig trotter looks pretty good. Why dont you roast some pig trotters for us? You can keep the remaining ingredients for tomorrow. Disying your outstanding skills and filling our stomachs dont coincide.
Even Huang Hai who didnt like to talk rubbed his stomach and said, Murou, just let us have our way. Dont pursue perfection. We dont need perfection. We just want to fill our stomachs.
The three swallowed their salivas and stared at her.
Li Murou was put in a difficult situation. It wasnt like she could tell them that food would taste like trash if she made food right now right?
Li Murou bit her lips and then said after a while, I dont feel so good today. Why dontZhou Qing, I remember that you have wildlife survival experience. Why dont you cook for everyone?
She immediately clutched her abdomen and said, Women always have to go through a few days. I hope everyone can understand.
Zhou Qing was dumbstruck.
Lei Ta was speechless.
Huang Hai was bbergasted.
Chapter 199 - The Strong President (3)
Ch.199 The Strong President(3)
The photographers and other mercenaries who had been eager for the day didnt know what to say.
Since she already said that, could they still force her? No. It was clear that Zhou Qing didnt feel good but still ordered, Then rest well. Go and start a fire up by the bonfire.
Okay.
Lei Ta was toozy to even talk to her. In his heart, he wasining about her. He held her luggage for her the entire day and it was one thing that she didnt want to cook. She even used the excuse that she didnt feel well to try to get by.
Although no one said anything, theyined about her inside their hearts.
Li Murou clearly didnt have the face to stay outside anymore. She returned to her tent to rest.
The tent wasnt soundproof nor could it keep the scent outside. She smelled roasted fish and the rich fragrance. She couldnt help but drool nor could she help herself.
Outside, Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting had ced the twenty or so fishes on the skewers to roast. The me burned the meat from tie to time and it made the skin of the fishes crispy and tasty.
Right after, Lin Yueqi brought the five spices powder and chili that she carried on her, sprinkling it on the surface of the fish meat. Right then, the fragrance erupted.
Zhou Qing, Huang Hai, and mercenary Lei Ta, cut up the meat and then came to roast it. They just sat down when the scent of the roasted fishes enveloped them.
They thought that Li Murou could cook so no one brought any seasonings. Dont mention seasonings but to make their travel convenient, they only bought some hardtacks.
Although their meat looked good, it was too greasy and oily without any seasonings, and hard to eat.
It was unclear where Lin Yueqi got some wrinkled giant hyssop from but she used a dagger to cut them up on the cobblestone, sprinkling it on the fishes.
The unique fragrance of the wrinkled giant hyssop was simmered on the roasted fish. The scent assaulted everyones nostrils.
Not only that, Lin Yueqi brought out a piece of ham and then sprinkled some seasonings, roasting it on the fire up until the surface was crisp. She withdrew it and took a bite before giving it to Lu Ting. She then murmured, You can only take a small bite. If you dare to take a big bite, Im going to drag you out and beat you to death.
Lu Ting nodded and opened his mouth, carefully biting the ham Lin Yueqi delivered. He really did take a small bite only.
Zhou Qing was shocked at their actions. Was this really a domineering president with his little pampering celebrity wife?
Theyre like two highschoolers dating! No, middle schoolers!
The photographer recorded Lin Yueqi roasting the fish and under the HD camera, he was about to cry.
He rubbed his stomach and looked at Lin Yueqi. He didnt think about trying out the ham. He just wanted a bit of the roasted fish! Just one bite!
Zhou Qing couldnt help but swallow his saliva. He didnt even notice that the boar meat had be muddled. UmSister Qin, can we try?
Lin Yueqi wasnt stingy either. She used the leaves to cushion her hand and then passed a piece over to Zhou Qing and Huang Hai. Then she generously passed each photographer and the mercenaries who hadnt offended her a fish.
The photographers and mercenaries felt the urge to cry.
Zhou Qing and Huang Hai who each received a bite also wanted to cry. Howe everyone each got a whole fish while they only got bites?
Lei Ta looked at Lin Yueqi like a kindergartener sitting there properly. His eyes were fixated on Lin Yueqi, waiting for her to pass him a fish too.
Yet he waited for a while only to hear Lin Yueqi said purposely in English, Father Lu, after you dry the fishes, put them inside the stic bag. We can eat them slowly for the next few days. These fishes can be our snacks. Tear them piece by piece. They taste amazing.
Lin Yueqi was d that her English was pretty good. At least she could form aplete sentence.
Lei Ta bit his greasy and oil boar meat, feeling cold inside. Where was his fish? Even one bite was fine.
Chapter 200 - Her Method (1)
Ch.200 Her Method(1)
Lin Yueqi finished tearing the fish into pieces and there was still sauce on her hands from the fish oil and the chili seasonings. It tasted like spicy sticks. One couldnt stop themselves from eating.
She smacked her lips and licked the taste off her hands.
Lei Ta watched her do that and felt conflicted inside his heart.
After licking her hands, Lu Ting acted like her little brother and delivered the moist towel over. She wiped her hands with it, satisfied.
After eating Lin Yueqis fish, Huang Hai felt that the boar meat he was nibbling on was too greasy and tasteless. He suddenly regretted not forming a good rtionship with Lin Yueqi.
There were just twodies in the group. Lin Yueqi was taken already. But because Li Murou had great culinary skills, the single men obviously sided with her more. But they didnt think that Lin Yueqi was good at cooking too.
Though her food wasnt as enticing and delicious as Li Murous food or glowing, her roasted fish eluded an unique but enticing fragrance. It was really in but down-to-earth.
The rich fragrance made the food taste even better and realistic.
Huang Hai swallowed his saliva and then asked, Sister Qi, youre a celebrity but how do you know all of this?
Dont you see me gossiping around? Im just a vige girl. When Lin Yueqi said this, she didnt think that her status would cause people to ridicule her. Instead, she was proud. Whenever it was the weekend, aunty would go to the market in town to sell rations. I would go up the mountains to release the cows. To children from viges, these were nothing. These were essentials to surviving. There were no restaurants in the mountain so we needed to find something to entertain ourselves.
When autumn arrives in the mountains of Sichuan Province, we would roast the fishes on the fire and then brush ayer of sticky chili bean sauce over it and then sprinkle some diced chameleon nt over it as seasoning. Its pretty good too.
The moment Zhou Qing heard chameleon nt, his expression changed. Chameleon nt? That can be used as seasoning? Dark cuisine
Lets see how you choose to eat. Us Sichuan people like to add chameleon nts in our food. Lin Yueqi counted on her fingers and said, Id still add chameleon nts to silkworm potatoes, teppanyaki, and Changsha stinky tofu. That taste. Tch. Im going to stop talking. I can feel my saliva
Although Zhou Qing was terrified of the chameleon nt juice, he couldnt help but drool hearing her say this.
He clearly became interested and pressed, Sister Qi, youre really a preciousdy. What else can you do?
Poor people obviously need to mature and take responsibility early on in their lives. Its normal. Lets not talk about this. Im going to sleep. So tired. Lin Yueqi stood up and rubbed her sore shoulders with her fists. She ordered Lu Ting, Father Lu, remember to ce the dry fishes away. Dont let the stray cats eat them.
Yes. Lu Ting nodded and stood up, quickly passing the thermal sk to her. Water. If you want to use the bathroom at night, dont go alone. Call me over.
Okay, father Lu.
Lin Yueqi was also tired. By the time she got back in her tent, Li Murou had been wearing her eye mask sleeping inside the sleeping bag. It was unclear whether she was pretending to sleep or what but she couldnt even hear the faintest breathing.
It was gettingte. In order to get enough energy to continue tomorrow, Lin Yueqi removed her cameo jacket and also got inside her sleeping bag. She wore her eye mask and her earbuds.
She quickly then sunk into sleep.
At the same time, the live broadcast was showcasing the people eating roasted fish. Because Li Murou refused to cook, there were some online users who clearly felt awkward and like something was off.
?? As a chef, I will say in a responsible manner that the fresher the ingredient, the better. In an environment like Africa, food wont be good if itsted overnight, right? Plus, they didnt do anything to keep the ingredients fresh. Under this environment, the meat will be rotten. As for Lin Yueqi, she had dried the fish and sprinkled salt and seasonings over it. This was the correct way to preserve food. I dont know whats wrong with Li Murou. She might really think that shes a fairy. [spreads hands].
Chapter 201 - Her Method (2)
Ch.201 Her Method(2)
Woah, person above, dont make it sound so simple when youre not the one involved okay? Our Sister Murou has her period. Dont you know how painful it is when women get their periods? Periods are the most painful thing. Its already really cool of her to be able to hunt in the forest with everyone else okay?
Right, right. Your fairy Lin is the best. Heh. If ady like her came from a vige and didnt even know how to do these things, how dare she say that she came from a vige? Lin Yueqi is quite something. Teamwork is the most important here, yet shes only giving some people a bit. Heh
Even a stranger like me cant watch this anymore. Go ahead and praise Li Murou but why do you guys have to beat down on Lin Yueqi? A viger girl just has to be disliked by men? She just has to make food for you guys? She just has to be ridiculed? Did you forget what Zhou Qing said when they just entered the forest? Did you forget how Lei Ta mocked Lin Yueqi? Besides Lu Ting who truly cared about Lin Yueqi and offered to hold her things, the other men not only teased her for carrying junk food into the forest, they also mocked her foring here on vacation.
+1. Now they want to eat Lin Yueqis food? They regretted being on the wrong side? Li Murou was only carrying very little things and Lei Ta still offered to carry it for her. Lin Yueqi carried a huge bag but only Lu Ting offered to help her. Who else did? It was one thing that they werent going to help, yet they even ridiculed her. Be happy that shes even giving them a bite.
Where did Li Murou get the face to say that? Where did she get all of those bots? Did she think that our Qiqi has no fans? Screw her. Come. My grandparents said that if anyone dares to insult Qiqi, theylle and dance in front of your houses!
To speak the truth, I think Li Murou is just acting. Ummm, even if shes on her period, she can help manage the boar meat, no? She can help to roast the meat too, no? Fine, if she cant do any of this because of her period, act like I didnt say this before then.
Not only did youngsters but also elderlys watched the live broadcast. The elderlys reminisced the experiences that Lin Yueqi mentioned including roasting fishes and releasing the cow herds in the mountains, roasting potatoes and things like that. They started to feel bad for the female celebrity.
A female celebrity with a huge worth was still able to act genuine. It was hard for people to dislike her. Audiences who were a bit old in age became her aunty and uncle fans.
Everyone still kept their eyes on Li Murou however. But after watching the live broadcast, they didnt know what had gotten into her. She suddenly said that she wouldnt be making food. Everyone could tell that the guests and mercenaries were unhappy. There was no reason that Li Murou couldnt detect it.
If it was anyone else, facing this kind of situation, even if they were sick or in pain, theyd persist in the least bit right?
Li Murou rejected cooking which caused the online users to have a dissatisfactory impression of her.
Although the online users were a bit disappointed, they still held hope. After all, everyone had high expectations of her food after seeing her videos.
Everyone thought that Li Murou was holding a trump card.
Thinking of this, everyone was well-behaved, waiting for Li Murou to show off.
A City Vi.
Tuantuan, Jiang Mucheng, and Li Xing sat on the sofa. They were snacking while watching the live broadcast. Thements section bounced around the screen. As more and more people insulted Lin Yueqi, Tuantuan chewed on the seeds quicker and quicker.
Little chubby girl was at the brink of explosion. She hmphed and clenched her fists tightly. Tuantuan is so angry. How can they say this about mommy and daddy? Arent they afraid that Ill release Uncle Li and Old Cheng at them?
Chapter 202 - Her Method (3)
Li Xing was speechless. Just release Old Cheng. Why are you releasing your Uncle Li?
Jiang Mucheng chewed on her cheeks and stared at her in a daze. Just release Uncle Li, why your Old Cheng?
Little chubby girl hugged her arms and said angrily, I cant let them insult my mommy anymore. I want them topliment her!
Little chubby girl, you dont know about this do you? This is all her method. Just watch. People are praising Li Mrou right now but shell have a really tragic ending in the future. Dont worry about your parents getting bullied. Look. Theyre the ones bullying other people in the live broadcast.
There were some things that Li Xing couldnt talk to little chubby girl about.
He knew that there were many fans supporting Li Murou because of the film emperor, Li Xiujie. Ever since he had eaten Li Murous food, he was in love with the food in Swallow Dining Hall. Not only did he praise the food there, he also praised the proprietress, Li Murou.
Li Murou became popr online mostly due to Li Xiujie. Unfortunately, he was Lixing Companys actor, and Lin Yueqis public rtions and marketing team were from Jiachen Media.
As a result, it wasnt that he didnt care about Li Murous brain dead fans fighting with Lin Yueqis fans but rather he thought it wasnt time yet. After all, Lin Yueqi was in the forest and it wasnt like she could see thesements. Since it didnt affect her, hed let the event progress as it was.
Li Murou was praised highly right now butter on, Li Xings team could use this to drag her down from her position. Shed fall down hard.
Unless Li Murou acted perfectly in the live broadcast for the next month or so, Li Xing would have a way for the media to attack Li Murou.
Standing from Li Xings perspective, he could tell that Li Murou was purposely trying to rope in everyone with her cooking and purposely isting Lin Yueqi. Plus, he knew that Li Murou was interested in Old Lu so he despised her actions even more.
Was it fun being a mistress? Sorry, mistresses need to pay a tragic price for destroying peoples rtionships.
Little chubby girl was really cute so how could he have the heart to let her parents separate from one another? Of course he didnt have the heart to.
What surprised Li Xing was that Li Murou was so weak and made a mistake quickly. He just needed to manipte her mistake so that it could be the topic of discussion.
Tuantuan was also really smart. Hearing Li Xings words, she rxed and gently patted Li Xings hands. Uncle Li, then our Qiqis reputation will be in your hands. If you do a good job, then II
Li Xing chuckled at her adult-like tone and lifted his brows. Youll what?
Tuantuan grabbed his hands and then Jiang Mucheng. She ced their hands together. Ill allow you to marry Old Cheng!
Li Xing withdrew his hand and said, Silly girl. You learned nothing but to act as a matchmaker hm?
How did I act as a random matchmaker? Look at how much my daddy loves my mommy. What does this mean? Clearly Tuantuan is a great matchmaker.
Li Xing looked at Jiang Mucheng and pinched her nose. Impossible. Theres no way your Uncle Li will like Old Cheng. I like sweet, naive young woman, not a foolish
His words were too straightforward and seemed to have hurt a certain foolish person.
Jiang Mucheng looked down and chewed on her cheeks like a chubby fish. She fiddled with her fingers and eximed in a soft voice, Old Cheng isnt a fool.
Seeing her wronged expression, Li Xings heart softened right away. He hurriedly coaxed, Youre quite cute. You might be foolish but youre also cute. Pah. What am I saying?
He had a stupid mouth. He realized that he mightve hurt her heart with his words and he wanted to p himself. He knew that he was bad with words but didnt know how to coax her.
Chapter 203 - Her Method (4)
Ch.203 Her Method(4)
This time, even Tuantuan didnt help him. She pped his knee and hmphed. Uncle Li, I finally know why youre single.
Li Xing was speechless. He admitted that he had a poisonous tongue but he really felt bad and wanted to amend his wrongdoings.
After interacting, he thought that Jiang Mcuheng wasnt so stupidly scary. She was quite cute. When he found out that Jiang Mucheng had ended up stupid because of copying someone elses work and then feeling a strong sense of guilt, he changed his views about her.
At least, she was courageous and admitted her mistake, even paying the price now. This meant that she had a conscience and just got on the wrong path by ident.
How many people could sessfully free themselves from the attraction of money in time? Very few.
He carefully thought about this, wondering how he shouldpensate for the pain he brought to the girl with his stupid mouth. He knew that sometimes, once a person was hurt, itd be irreversible. The more he thought about it, the more upset he was. He wanted to p his mouth.
In the end, Tuantuan provided a solution. Uncle Li, its Old Chengs birthday tomorrow. Take us out to y okay? Old Cheng and I want to ride the carousel.
Li Xing nced at the foolish-looking Jiang Mucheng and then at the astute Tuantuan. Are you the one that wants to y or Old Cheng?
Old Cheng. Im just apanying her. Tuantuan said determined.
Li Xing didnt know what to do with her. He rubbed her head and agreed.
Who knew that he, the grand president of Jiachen Media, had to take two children to an amusement park.
Too tragic? He was probably the most tragic person in the world. Not one of the many.
Six in the morning, Lin Yueqi was woken up by the buzzing of Africas mosquitoes. She sat up from her sleeping bag and then scratched her arms nonstop.
There were countless bites on Lin Yueqis arms. The moment she scratched them, they started bleeding. She felt incredibly unwell with how itchy the bites were. She thought that it was just Africas mosquitoes so she didnt pay attention. She sprayed insect repellent around her and tried to stop the itching.
A few mens voices rang outside the tent. They seemed to have woken up too.
Zhou Qing, Huang Hai, and Lei Ta wre incredibly famished. They boiled the water and then happily waited for Li Murou to get out of bed to cook. They seemed to have forgotten the unhappy argument fromst night.
Lu Ting had finished boiling water as well. Seeing Lin Yueqiing out from the tent, he immediately soaked the towel with the water from the sk and delivered it to her so she could wipe her face. After Lin Yueqi finished wiping her face, she used it to wipe the red swells on her arms. But the more she patted her arms with the warm towel, the itchier it felt.
Lu Ting also noticed her arms full of red swells. He knitted his brows and immediately pulled her hands over to observe them closely. What happened?
Theyre mosquito bites. Theyre so itchy. The mosquitoes here are so bad. I probably have tasty blood and attracted them.
After saying that, Lin Yueqi wanted to reach and scratch her arms again.
Before she could touch her arm, Lu Ting smacked her hands. The man knitted his brows tightly and suppressed his angry voice, The mosquitoes here arent that bad. Ill get some ointment for you. Wait a second.
Oh.
Lin Yueqi was scratching her arms as she sat by the bonfire.
Lei Ta was also fumigating the boar meat by the bonfire. Seeing her, he arrogantly hmphed as if he was angry that she didnt give him fish to eatst night.
Lin Yueqiughed and then poked the sturdy man with a wooden stick. Asking in English, Brother, youre angry?
Lei Ta smacked the branch out of her hand and looked at her moodily. Whos your brother?
Ohhhh, no. I was going to let you try out our roasted fish. Lin Yueqi said with a look of pity. Since youre not interested, then nevermind.
Chapter 204 - Her Method (5)
Ch.204 Her Method(5)
Lei Ta recalled the fish fromst night and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
But he thought of Li Murou who was going to make food for them now. Therefore, he disdained talking to Lin Yueqi. He lowered his head, even if Lin Yueqi was trying to help him out.
Lei Ta eximed confidently, Even if I have to jump into a fire pit, I would never eat your food!
Oh.
Lin Yueqi originally thought about mending her rtionship with him but she didnt expect it to fail just like that.
Li Murou changed her clothes and walked out of the tent. She greeted everyone and then walked in the direction of the wild boar meat.
In order for her to not waste too much energy, Zhou Qing and Lei Ta had handled the meat for her already. She just needed to cook it.
Li Murou was the most magical chef they had ever seen. Though there wasnt enough seasoning, she was still able to make delicious food. Those who had tasted her thick bread soup didnt question her skills.
She grabbed the dagger from Zhou Qings hands and started cutting the meat. She nned on making te roasted boar meat.
Lu Ting found an ointment from the tent and walked in Lin Yueqis direction, sitting next to her.
Bring your arm over. Lu Ting squeezed some white ointment out and said to her.
She lifted her arm over obediently.
Lu Ting wiped a bit of ointment on her swells. He pressed hard on the swell before wiping it evenly, letting the white ointment cover the swellpletely.
She felt a stinging pain when the ointment was rubbed against her swells. At the same time, it also brought her rxation. Lin Yueqi cried and then said, Old Lu, I really want to itch itIts so itchy and it also hurts. I cant take this anymore!
Dont you dare. Lu Ting knitted his brows, his expression iparably serious.
He closed the lid of the ointment and grabbed her arms, bending over slightly and blowing at her wounds. Is it better?
Lin Yueqi paused before nodding. Mnahits still itchy but it doesnt itch when youre blowing at it.
Hearing this, Lu Ting continued to blow at her wounds, his expression serious and careful.
Lin Yueqi nced at the mans side profile. Under his thick brows was a pair of bright and sharp eyes. Hisshes flickered and it made it look even more cuter.
He looked serious as if he was doing something important. Needless to say, looking at the man seriously blowing at her swells, he reallylooked a bit handsome.
No, really handsome.
Lu Ting finished blowing her swell and grabbed her hands while he was at it. Why are your hands so cold?
After that, he held her hands together and rubbed them, blowing warm air. Then he brought her hands over the firece to get some warmth.
The man muttered, I have your long underwear pants in my backpack. Aunt Lin had shoved that in the bag before we left. I thought you would need it. The temperature wont get warm until the afternoon so go and changeter on.
Lin Yueqi stared at him, in a daze. She suddenly felt as if Lu Ting was more like her father now.
He nagged about. Why did he look so cute? QAQ.
Even she was unable to imagine thinking that a domineering and greasy old straight man was a bit cute.
Lu Ting flicked her forehead seeing that she was in a daze. In a serious tone, Did you hear me?
Oh Lin Yueqi rubbed her forehead and eximed, Father Lu, can you stop flicking my head? What if I cant get into a good college?
While Lin Yueqi was stillining, Li Murou stopped cutting meat. She froze.
She heard the ringing notification in her ears. She clutched the dagger tightly and turned. As expected, she saw the couple lingering with each other.
She really wanted to stab them to death!
Chapter 205 - Her Method (6)
Ch.205 Her Method(6)
[Gourmet Food Deity] system: Ding~ The male and female lead has obtained three ambiguous points. You will be punished with [trash food] for three hours.
Lei Ta obviously disliked how the couple was putting on PDA. As a result, he turned and asked on the top of his lungs, Miss Li, hows our breakfasting along?
Zhou Qing smiled and replied, Brother, dont worry. Ill let you taste heaven today! The temptation at the tip of your tongue!
Li Murou was speechless.
Zhou Qing just finished his words when the boar meat they were cutting started emitting a stinky stench. It was pungent and it made one want to vomit.
Li Murou subconsciously covered her nose and took a step back. Zhou Qing also took several steps back from the pungent smell. He kept backing up until the stench wasnt that strong anymore before stopping. He breathed in fresh air and asked, Damn, whats that stupid stench?
The people sitting by the bonfire also scented this. They all stood up and hurried over to check out.
Lei Ta endured the stench and went to check on the wild boar meat. He moved closer and sniffed it. As expected, the stench came from the boar meat.
He had lost his mind because of the stench. He kicked the boar meat off the te and then the boiling water to the side. He pointed at Li Murous nose and cursed, Fuck. Youre the one who told us that meat is better cooked a few hours after. Are you trying to fool me? Ive gone through all this work to hunt the boar down for you and youre just wasting it like this?
Lei Ta shouted, scaring Lin Yueqi and causing her to hide behind Lu Ting.
She silently stood behind Lu Ting and pointed at the mans back. In a low voice, If he aims over here, can your body withstand the bullets?
The man responded properly, Mn, I can do that in my dreams.
Lin Yueqi was speechless.
Li Murou was also startled by Lei Tas sudden outburst. She looked at Zhou Qing and Huang Hai. Although the two men felt the same, because they were team members, they walked over to advise Lei Ta.
Zhou Qing said. We cant me Murou entirely. She probably doesnt know that Africas wild boar meat would be rotten that quickly. The food has gone bad now. Even if we me her, we cant eat the food anymore. Lets just eat some hardtacks and deal with this now. Lets have Murou make us some food when we reach the next camp.
Right. Murou doesnt feel good either. Us men need to be generous and act like gentlemen, dont we? Huang Hai helped out and said to Li Murou, Murou, say something and apologize.
Without the systems help, Li Murou could still make food. But after being punished by the system, she couldnt touch any food at all. Let alone using the kitchen.
Thinking that the punishment was only three hours long, she thought that she could still perform at night. Therefore, she hurriedly exined for herself. Sorry, Ive been feeling unwell. Sinceing into the forest, I havent felt good. Dont worry. When we reach the next camp, Ill make sure everyone gets to eat delicious food.
Lei Ta nced at the stinky wild boar meat, feeling bad.
He exchanged a bullet for this wild boar meat, and now it had gone to waste just like that. Who wouldnt feel bad?
Last night, they barely ate anything so they were famished. As they were having a standoff, they heard the ripping of a package. Right after, a strong intense fragrance assaulted everyones nostrils.
They looked back and even Lu Ting turned to look at the woman behind him.
Lin Yueqi watched them fighting and found it quite interesting. Therefore, she took out a bag of spicy sticks from her camo pants. She ripped the package open and watched the show while eating.
She was about to bring a spicy stick into her mouth when countless eyes immediately red over.
Lin Yueqi was speechless.
Chapter 206 - Idol Drama (2)
Ch.206 Idol Drama(2)
Lu Ting lifted his wrist and nced at the temperature revealed on the te. Wear it.
He eximed in a firm tone.
Lin Yueqi thought back to when she was forced to wear long underwear pants by her aunt as well as the scared feeling paired with it. She didnt dare to refuse for a moment. By the time she processed what happened, Lu Ting had already bought the clothes out. The clothes were neatly folded and the corners were straight. One could tell that this was the work of an OCD straight man.
By the time Lin Yueqi came out after changing her clothes, everyone had already extinguished the fire and were packing up their things.
The groups attitude towards Li Murou clearly changed after what happenedst night and this morning. When they entered the forest yesterday, several men had been fighting to carry Li Murous luggage for her but no one bothered now.
The team members rtionship had changed from clear to unknown and it seemed like they were going to regroup.
Eight in the morning, the creek water was shining and translucent as it reflected the sun.
The faint creeks cobblestones were enveloped by the warm sunshine. The vision looked really appealing and pleasing to the eyes. Before carrying her luggage, Lin Yueqi casually picked up a round and good-looking stone, putting it in her pocket.
Today, they distributed the luggage just like yesterday.
Lu Ting helped Lin Yueqi carry her luggage while she carried their food. The man had carried a lot of things but he still wanted to carry her luggage for her.
Although she was simple-minded towards Lu Ting, she didnt go as far as to pressure Lu Ting. Even a fool could feel how much the man cared for her. As a result, she didnt have the heart to add onto his burden.
After all, she promised little chubby girl that she wouldnt bully Lu Ting, this honest person. Especially during their trip to Africa.
After this brief interlude, they harmoniously formedpanionships and went on about their journey.
But the people who watched the broadcast domestically couldnt rest. Thements section exploded.
Damn. Its obvious that Qiqi wasnt bitten by mosquitoes, but more like some sort of wild insects. Theres no poison right?
Mr. Lu pampers Qiqi too much! If this was still acting, Mr. Lu can consider going to be an actor. Hed get an Oscars for sure!
Did everyone notice Li Murous gaze?When Lu Ting and Qiqi were being lovey-dovey, Li Murous gaze seemed a bit off. Was she jealous? Her gaze looked really gloomy and sinister, like a sinister female supporting lead from TV.
Quickly, someone exposed her in thements section.
Uhum, iI want to tell everyone that Im Li Murous middle school friend. Her name used to be Li Rou. When we were in middle school, we thought that she was the sessor of the Lu Family. By high school, we found out that she was just the daughter of a chef from the Lu Family. Old Man Lu really liked her and at that time, many people were spreading rumors that she was Lu Tings girlfriend. Li Murou should be Lu Tings first love. Thats not a sinister look, but rather jealousy. First love is usually unforgettable. Wont you feel bad if you find your first love being lovey-dovey with another woman?
Damn! Thats some news! Is it true?
Once the news came out, everyone started discussing disregarding the validity.
Oh my god! So Lu Ting is being lovey-dovey with his current girlfriend in front of his first love. Even more, he acted like he didnt know herthissorry. Let me visualize the next eighty episodes of this!
Chapter 207 - Idol Drama (3)
Ch.207 Idol Drama(3)
This is a bit awkward. Lu Ting is purposely acting intimate with Lin Yueqi? In order to anger his first love? Uhthat means that he still cares about Li Murou a lot? Amazing, amazing. We can treat this documentary as an idol drama. Haha!
The question is who is the female lead?
I stan Lin Yueqi!
If it was me, I wouldnt be able to forget my first love. I stan Li Murou!
Everyone was discussing intensely when the scene changed to the part where the boar meat became stinky.
Damn. Lei Ta is so scary when hes angry. Lin Yueqi hid behind Lu Ting while trembling, so cute! Ahahaha. But speaking of, this is really Li Murous fault this time. If it was me, Id be angry too! Because Li Murou didnt feel well, they ended up wasting a wild boar just like that. So angry.
What? The boar meat became stinky only after a night? Its not some sort of African swine fever meat is it? With the temperature therest night, even if they hadnt done anything to preserve the meat, it shouldnt have gone bad after one night. At most, it just wouldnt be fresh anymore. Lin Yueqi is already wearing long underwear pants. The meat had gone bad in that temperature? What happened? Could someone had done something?
+1, Its really strange. I think someone is behind this. Unfortunately, they stopped the live broadcast after the guests went to sleep. We have no idea if something did something.
From the images, the meat seems okay. Howe they looked like they were smelling something stinky? I cant imagine. Its probably not the smell of boar meat. So strange. But this is whats bad about live broadcast. There are no exnations.
Why did Lin Yueqi take out a bag of spicy sticks? What? Hahahaha. Shes cute
Lin Yueqi took out a bag of spicy sticks and then shoved it in Lu Tings mouthLets kick this bucket of dog food!
Someonemented that this became the catalyst for conflict between the fans.
Lin Yueqi mustve done something to the boar meat. I checked the temperature. Theres no way the meat wouldve gone bad overnight. She mustve done something to cause the meat to be stinky. This documentary is quite interesting. This is literally a pce drama.
Lin Yueqis fans exploded and started retorting.
Theres something wrong with you, huh? Imagining out scenes of a pce drama? This is a documentary. Even if they didnt broadcast the scene at night live, the cameras monitor the entire ce. Plus, there are people alternating between taking shifts to be on night watch. You think Qiqi has the chance to do this?
Brain dead. Give me more of these people. That way, I can gather you all in a pot.
This years best paranoia patient. Here, tell us your address. My grandmother wants to take her sisters to your house to dance to [Rising Sun].
[Rising Sun]? Me too! Lets form a group to dance under the stairs of your house!
Damn. These days, people dont need to rely on brains to fight. They can just use their keyboards to sweep everything before them.
Because Li Murou had lied twice about cooking, and indirectly caused the boar meat which her teammate had gone through lots of work to hunt, not only did her teammates have something to say about her, but even strangers watching the live broadcast didnt like her so much.
But at this time, the film emperor, Li Xiujie eximed as a diamond VIP, Chef Li, you can do this!
A diamond VIP would have to pay 300,000 to make ament. Therefore, when Li Xiujie made ament, hisment rolled across the screen on its own.
Because Li Xiujie hade to hype Li Murou, the fans all rushed forth to cheer on her too.
Lin Yueqis fans were frustrated.
Chapter 208 - Idol Drama (4)
Ch.208 Idol Drama(4)
So what if he has money? If Lu Ting hadnt gone to attend the show, he wouldve been makingments as a diamond VIP as well!
In the afternoon, everyone stopped to rest and to eat lunch.
Because they still had to go on the road, everyone had a simple lunch. They just ate hardtacks. However, Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting didnt. They took out the dried fish fromst night.
The fish had been dried and she teared it into pieces. It was tasty and chewy.
Lin Yueqi took out three fishes and distributed them evenly amongst the others.
Besides the photographer and Lei Ta, the mercenaries all epted happily and thanked her. However, Lei Ta rejected and was firm on his stance. He refused to p his face and would never take his words back from yesterday.
Of course, Li Murou wouldnt eat it either. If she epted Lin Yueqis food, thats pping her own face.
Zhou Qing and Huang Hai, however, appeared to submit to the circumstances. They shamelessly epted the dry fish and then praised Lin Yueqi.
After filling their stomachs, Lin Yueqi tossed her backpack to Lu Ting for him to look over it. She clutched her abdomen and said, I need the bathroom. Wait here for a moment.
Ill apany you. Lu Ting said.
Lin Yueqis face burned. Father Lu, please let me go. Im not interested in relieving myself in front of a man.
Lu Ting helped her hold her things and ordered her toe back soon.
Lin Yueqi held a dagger and went towards the dense red willow trees in the southeast. She pushed the shrubs to the side and quickly reached a spacious ground. She ran ahead for a while before feelingforted after confirming she was far from them.
As she walked back from relieving herself, wind blew by and there was a rotten scent mixed between.
She sniffed in the direction of the source and pushed the shrubs to the side before walking for a while longer. After walking out of the bushes, she saw the spacious ground and on top of it, was the corpse of an asian elephant.
This was an adult asian elephant. Its nose had been cut off and tossed two meters away from the body and its tusk had been taken away. The corpse looked to be rotting. Flies buzzed and flew around the wound.
This was the first time Lin Yueqi had seen an elephants corpse up close. She froze ncing at it and the shock it brought to her heart.
She could never imagine hunters killing an elephant so mercilessly in order to obtain two tusks.
On the other side, the team members had been waiting almost half an hour for her.
Lei Ta was clearly a bit impatient. What? Shes peeing out gold? Why isnt she back yet?
The other team members revealed unhappy expressions as well but because the sugar daddy, father Lu Ting was here, they didnt dare voice their opinions.
Li Murou yed the role of the viin and said, Lei Ta, be understanding of women. She probably went somewhere far. Then she turned to say to Lu Ting, Brother Ting, next timemunicate with Sister Qi. Otherwise, shed be wasting a lot of our time if she goes somewhere far to relieve herself.
Lu Ting didnt say anything. He felt that something was off.
Quickly, the sirens on the team members started ringing.
Only when team members encountered an emergency situation could they activate a siren. After activating it, they could track Lin Yueqis position via GPS.
They all took out their GPS. The green dot represented Lin Yueqis position. Someone teased, It couldnt be that she forgot to bring toilet paper right? Hahaha!
After they finished teasing, they received Lu Tings gaze and shivered, immediately shutting up.
Chapter 209 - Idol Drama (5)
Lu Ting grabbed Lin Yueqis bag and took out a dagger, running in the direction of the green dot with his brows knitted. After they pushed the shrubs to the side and saw the huge corpse on the open ground, they were all shocked.
A life just like that was ended ruthlessly by humans. Everyone felt really gloomy and stifling feeling how helpless the elephant mustve been.
Lin Yueqi grabbed her backpack from Lu Tings hand. While carrying it, she said in a low voice, I noticed that there is an unusual bump on the elephants abdomen so I went to check on it. This is a female and shes pregnant.
There was a cold glint in Lu Tings eyes and he subconsciously fisted his hands, his Adams apple rolling but he said nothing.
Lei Ta took his hat off, his expression solemn. In English, If I guessed right, this should be Marks wife. Back then, she was also one of the many that escaped into this forest. A month ago, we had captured the picture of her ying in the water with Mark with a drone. Who knew
Their main motive was to find the asian elephant, Mark. After locating him, they were to send the location to the camp. Then the camp would contact relevant organizations and bring Mark and his family to the conservation district.
But the situation was a bitplicated now.
The mother and its unborn baby were ruthlessly murdered. What about Mark? Was he still alive?
Lin Yueqi felt unwell but she was also helpless. She could imagine the mother trying her best to protect her baby but still losing it in the end.
Substituting the mothers perspective inside her, Lin Yueqi couldnt breathe feeling the intense helpless feeling. Her eyes teared up and she rubbed her eyes nonstop. Realizing that cameras were recording her, she immediately turned with her back against it and facing Lu Ting.
Lu Ting felt really bad right now too.
The surroundings were in ruins and one could imagine the asian elephant being shot by a tranquilizer and having to watch her own nose being cut off and her tusks taken away from her.
She also wanted to survive for the baby in her stomach. But she bowed down to the cruel reality in the end and died in despair.
Humans ruthlessly killer her and her baby in order to obtain her tusks.
Lu Ting had a heavy heart as well. He watched as Lin Yueqi kept on rubbing her eyes facing him. He felt really bad and brought the girl in his arms. He hugged her tightly, trying tofort.
Lin Yueqi couldnt control her tears anymore after being hugged by father Lu. Her tears streamed down her face.
She held onto his clothes tightly and buried herself in his arms to cry. Her snots and tears all dripping on his clothes.
Seeing that everyone was solemn, Lu Ting patted the girls head whileforting, Mark should be alive. He probably wasnt present when his wife got murdered. Otherwise, he wouldnt have left. He wouldve done his best to protect his wife.
If someone dared to hurt Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan, he would do anything to protect him. It wasnt because he liked Lin Yueqi but that she and Tuantuan were his family.
He refused to let anyone hurt them.
Lin Yueqi took a deep breath and left Lu Tings arms. Right, Mark should still be alive. We need to find him soon!
While talking, she noticed that there were still tears on her face. Lu Ting almost immediately held her head and then wiped her face with a handkerchief he pulled from his pocket.
While doing so, Lin Yue moved forward and blew her nose on it.
Everyone was still immersed in sorrow but then they turned to see the domineering President Lu helping Lin Yueqi blow her nose. They didnt feel good.
Everyone was speechless.
Domineering president, you have a daughter now?
Chapter 210 I Don’t Have the Golden Finger (1)
Ch.210 I Dont Have the Golden Finger (1)
The Chinese believed that burying the deceased will bring them peace, so Li Murou suggested digging a hole to bury the elephant.
Luting would never take the initiative to talk to Li Murou, and tried to keep a distance from her to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. But now he spoke up, The elephant is too big in size. Depending on just our strength, itll take a long time to dig such a big hole. Time is tight. In this jungle, besides us, there are the poachers. Our mission is to find Mark before the poachers do.
Li Murou subconsciously let out a sigh, nodded and said, I was too emotional to even think about this. I just feel really sorry for this mother elephant, all I wanted was to provide her with a ce to rest.
Leita said: They were born into nature, so let them return to nature. Their corpses can provide for the creatures on thisnd, and we should not interfere with our human ways.
When Li Murou cast her gaze towards Luting, he consciously avoided her gaze.
Luting seemed disdained to even look at her, and continued to wipe away Lin Yueqis snot, which made Li Murou feel very ufortable.
Since participating in the show, she had tried her very best, but Luting didnt even want to bat an eye on her.
She didnt understand why Lin Yueqi could easily gain Lutings liking, could it be because she was the female protagonist?
Why should everything revolve around her? Why?
Li Murou noticed the twos close interaction and was worried that they would catch feelings again, so she immediately interrupted by saying, Then lets set off quickly, in hopes to find Mark sooner.
Everyone continued on with the journey.
Its just that after witnessing the brutal killing of a pregnant mother elephant, everyones mood was more or less quite heavy, and their eyes were slightly sore.
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was also rather heavy. Both sides stopped fighting and crying expressions filled the whole screen.
In the childrens bedroom of a vi in Country Hua, City A.
Tuantuan and Jiang Mucheng sat cross-legged on the bed as they watched the live broadcast. When they saw this scene, they couldnt help but start tearing up.
Tuantuans voice was hoarse, as he wiped his nose and said, The mother elephant is so pitiful. If Mark was still alive, would he feel sad? Just like how Tuantuan would feel sad if I lost my parents. Cheng, Im really sad, will Mark feel lonely?
Jiang Mucheng rubbed her eyes that were red and teary as she said, Yes. If I lost my grandma, Id also feel very sad.
Tuantuan asked her: Cheng, can Mom and Dad really find Mark? Im so scared that Mark cant wait for that day toe.
[Vengeance Storyline] could feel Jiang Muchengs sudden change in mood, reminded: Spoiler, Mark is still alive, and he has a baby elephant with him. You release me and I will help you save them. How about that?
Since the [Vengeance Storyline] was always talking to her, Jiang Mucheng automatically blocked its voice. She opened her notebook, with tears in her eyes, and wrote a line: Mark and the little elephant cub have to be safe.
On the way, Li Murou found an excuse to be between Luting and Lin Yueqi. In order to look for a topic to talk to with Lin Yueqi, and separate Luting and Lin Yueqi, she ran to Lin Yueqi and asked shamelessly: Sister Qi, you seem to be quite knowledgeable about food? I want to ask, how can we make delicious food in the wilderness without any seasoning?
She had already put away her cold personality and took the initiative to speak to Lin Yueqi. She thought that her friendliness would make Lin Yueqi feel rather happy.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yueqi said: Are you asking me? Arent you a chef? You can make an amazing dish with just bread and canned food, the wilderness cant even stop you?
Her question made Li Murou freeze on the spot. Sheughed awkwardly and said: Yes, I want to get to know your way. As chefs, we should always strive to learn, theres no limit to learning. You wont mind sharing your thoughts with me, right?
I dont mind. Lin Yueqi took a deep breath, carried her heavy bag and continued walking, as she replied casually: I cant make delicious food without any seasoning, so I brought some seasoning. Didnt you bring any seasoning? No? You are in charge of our meals. Even if we should gather our supplies from the jungle, I think you should bring some basic necessities with you.
Chapter 211 - I Don’t Have the Golden Finger (2)
Ch.211 I Dont Have the Golden Finger (2)
Li Murou just casually asked a question, she didnt expect that she would attack her like this. Sheughed awkwardly: Of course I brought some.
Lin Yueqi knowingly asked: Oh, I brought hot pot dry chili noodles. These chili noodles contain not only salt and MSG, but also more than ten kinds of spices. If you cooked the wild pork meat into roast pork yesterday, then sprinkle this on it, itll be so vourful. However, you dont seem too fond of our seasonings, so I didnt dare to share them with you. What about you, what seasonings did you bring?
Everyone had forgotten about the wild boar, but Lin Yueqi mentioned it again. The three men walking in the front had mixed feelings, and the feelings of distress resurfaced.
Li Murou subconsciously nced at the men who were walking in front, followed closely, and replied in a casual manner: Simr to yours.
In order to lessen the weight of her baggage, she didnt bring any seasonings at all. She originally nned to use the system to make the food taste good, but she didnt expect that from the very first day she entered the woods, so many problems would surface.
Lin Yueqi guessed that Li Murou, in order to lessen the weight of her baggage, was nning to rely on her [Gourmet God of Cooking] golden finger, and not bring any of these necessities.
So, she deliberately talked more about this and said: Oh, I thought you didnt bring any seasoning, and I wondered how you could cook without any seasoning. It seems that I was overthinking it. Youre a professional chef and have strict requirements for your food. Even in the wild, you will not give up on making good food.
Li Murou smiled brightly: I am a cook, and I will for sure bring some of these things before going into the jungle.
She cant reveal to anyone that she didnt bring any seasoning. Even if she used her [Gourmet God of Cooking] system to make delicious food, some people will definitely question: How did she make such deliciousness without any seasoning?
Li Murous humble questioning obviously relieved the awkward tension in the team. Someizens in the live broadcast roommented:
A top chef like Li Murou actually asked an ordinary persons opinion about cooking, she takes cooking so seriously.
[Gourmet God of Cooking] The system has a function. After using it to optimize the food, even if someone was watching the whole process, no one will have any doubts on her cooking.
For example, she didnt bring any seasoning. When cooking under the camera, the system will help her to automatically edit snippets of the shot, so that no one will see the detailed process of her cooking, and will only give the audience a rough idea.
If someone was watching her from the side, the system will obscure the persons memory, they wont be able to remember what seasoning she added and whether she added any at all.
Therefore, Li Murou wasnt worried about cooking in front of the camera or when people were watching her. She didnt need to hide at all, the system would do everything for her.
On the way, a wild chicken came into their sight, Leita immediately seized the opportunity to catch the plump chicken.
Around half past five, they arrived at the next campsite.
With yesterdays failed experience, Li Murou finally learned the smart way.
When Luting and the other men were still setting everything up, she immediately called Lin Yueqi to start a fire with her.
Starting a fire counts as team work. Even if Lin Yueqi doesnt eat Li Murous food, she cant refuse.
After the fire was lit, Li Murou quickly started on the wild chicken. She has excellent knife skills, and was deliberately showing off in front of the camera, by letting the handle of the knife spin in her palm.
Upon seeing her skills, even the photographer couldnt help but apud and gave her trick a close-up.
After handling the chicken, Li Murou quickly heated up a pot of hot water and began to boil some chicken soup. On the way here just now, Li Murou picked some wild vegetables and some spices. When the food in the pot started to boil, she immediately activated the [Gourmet God of Cooking] system.
All of a sudden, the campsite was filled with a delicious aroma. Under the high-definition lens, the boiling soup showed a creamy white color.
When the water started to boil, she added wild vegetables. The fragrance from the chicken and the freshness of the vegetables all poured out in an instant.
Chapter 212 - I Don’t Have the Golden Finger (3)
Ch.212 I Dont Have the Golden Finger(3)
The men who had just set up the tent looked up as they wiped away their sweat, the strong aroma from the food attacking their senses. This scent was a hundred times stronger than Lin Yueqis spicy strips, which tingled everyones senses.
Leita immediately dropped the unfinished work in his hand, ran over, rubbed his hands in front of the fire, and breathed in the fragrance with a look of intoxication: God, what kind of food is this? Why does it smell so good?
Li Murou chopped up the wild fruits she had picked on the way and added them into the pot. She didnt expect this wild fruit to have any vor-enhancing effect, but only to brighten the color of the dish. In this way, she could exin the optimized color effect the system would have in ce.
After all, if no color was added, and the color of the food felt like some special effect, some people would inevitably ask questions. If she added a hint of red, the audience will take it as the results from the wild fruit.
She used the poison identification function in the system to inspect the wild fruit and only threw it in the chicken soup after confirming that it wasnt poisonous.
Lin Yueqi couldnt be like Luting, and was totally immune to the God of Cooking system.
So in order to avoid the addicting smell, she hid aside to sharpen some branches. She brought the strings for bows and arrows, as well as a few arrowheads, and was nning to make a bow and arrow for hunting.
Although their team had guns, the bullets were still limited. A small animal like a wild chicken could easily be dealt with bows and arrows, so there was no need to waste bullets.
If they unfortunately meet with the poachers, they would be in a very dangerous situation in areas like these in Africa, regardless of who they were. Therefore, sufficient ammunition is the guarantee for their survival, and she didnt want to waste them away.
When Zhouqing and Luting saw her sharpening some branches, they came to help her.
Luting didnt ask much, and helped her assemble the arrow. The size of the wood and the arrowhead might not be of the same size. If it was toorge, they still had to sharpen it even more to assemble it with the arrowhead.
Zhouqing asked, Sister Qi, are you making bows and arrows? We dont need that, right? We have guns. Isnt that more convenient?
Lin Yueqi answered as she sharpened: Before I came here, Lu and I came up with a n. There are many anti-government militants in this country, just like those profit-seeking poachers. Theyck humanity. Although the chances of bumping into them is very low, it doesnt mean that there isnt a chance. For safety reasons, Lu and I agreed to bring these items. Lu and I are pretty good at archery. Have you watched our variety show? We once sessfully shot a wild hare in the countryside.
Zhouqing recalled that part of their reality show, nodded and said: I do recall, you missed the arrow and it was shot by Brother Ting. Also, the female guest who participated in the show with you said, Why are you eating rabbits, rabbits are so cute, but Brother Ting and you were already discussing how to cook it deliciously. What an evil married couple.
Ermmm Lin Yueqi reminded him: We are not married.
Couples. Zhouqing immediately rephrased.
Lin Yueqi and Lutings rtionship as they had said to the public was also a couple, and she continued on with her work without defending much.
The soup was done boiling, and Leita came over with a bowl of soup. On the surface, it looks like she came over to ask Zhouqing toe eat, but in fact she came to show off. The men deliberately drank the soup loudly, took a sip, and smacked with emotion: Its really vourful. Miss Lin, Mr. Lu, are you sure you dont want to try some? We are a team, and Im not as petty, unlike some people. Regardless, I came here specially to invite you to have some of Miss Lis delicious soup.
The chicken soup that was optimized by the system was indeed very fragrant, although it was only a small bowl, the aroma was so captivating. Lin Yueqi gulped down her saliva, as her stomach growled.
From Lin Yueqis expression, Luting noticed her desire for the bowl of soup. He nced into Leitas bowl again, and it didnt look appetizing at all.
Chapter 213 - I Don’t Have the Golden Finger (4)
Ch.213 I Dont Have the Golden Finger(4)
The bowl of soup looked very dull because there were no garnishes of any sort. The chopped red fruits floated on the surface like red peppers. Although it made it look slightly more appetizing, as far as he was concerned, he didnt have much appetite for it.
He took out the spicy strips that he hadnt finished at noon from his pocket, unwrapped the rubber band, and ced it near Lin Yueqis mouth.
Lin Yueqi took the spicy strips and was very surprised why he didnt eat them. Could it be that Luting could really resist the temptation of it in this sort of environment?
Upon seeing her puzzled expression, Luting seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and the corners of his lips curled up as he exined: Although this thing does taste good, we still have a month left, we should ration it. I kept it for you. Have some to quench your hunger. Ill take out the dried fish and heat it up, and well have it for the night.
But the aroma of that chicken soup was too appealing. In a ce like this, it was even a hundred times more appealing than spicy strips. Lin Yueqi was obviously a little disappointed, but she kept her cool, and even the camera didnt manage to capture her disappointed expression at this moment.
But Luting caught her disappointed expression, and immediately thought of the immense grievance she must be feeling. He couldnt hold back,ughed and stretched out his hands to pinch her cheeks, his tone as if he was coaxing a little girl: Angry?
Lin Yueqi was disgusted by his dirty hands, she blocked his hands with her arms, frowned and said, Daddy Lu, your hands are dirty.
Sorry, Luting immediately retracted his hand, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped her face.
Halfway through it, Lin Yueqi grabbed his hand: Father Lu, did you clean my snot with this handkerchief?
Yeah. Luting exined, I washed it with water during the afternoon break.
Lin Yueqi looked disgusted: Where did the hygienic Father Lu go? WaitDo you use this to wipe your feet at night as well?
He asked in a serious face, Huh? How did you know?
Lin Yueqi looked at him with a serious look: Goodbye!
Upon seeing her face flush with anger, Luting said seriously: Im just ying with you.
Lin Yueqi reached out angrily and held Lutings face, rubbing his face back and forth as if he was an Akita dog. Its just that his face was so slender that she couldnt feel the joy from it. She grabbed his ears and twisted it like what she learned from the chubby girl.
She smiled and sighed: Father Lu, the more I look at you, the cuter you get. You even know how to joke now.
Ah. Men. I want you to lose your dignity as a domineering president in front of the national audience!
Luting:
As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter. When did his ears be a toy for both of them, and his handsome face a tool for Lin Yueqi to vent?
Ah. A 130-pound woman, jealous of his beauty?
The two looked loving on the outside, but they criticised each other on the inside. Suddenly, there was somemotioning from the camp.
The people who were drinking the soup around the fire suddenly started to vomit. Leita and Huanghai were suffering from abdominal pain, theyid on the ground in pain as they rolled back and forth and screamed.
Li Murou had been in charge of everyones meal, but she tasted a few mouthfuls while making the soup, and at this moment, her stomach started to cramp too.
She was sitting on a rock by the fire, her face was pale. She sped her stomach tightly with her hands, trying to relieve the pain.
Luting and Lin Yueqi looked at each other, and immediately got up to find out what was going on.
Luting remembered the chopped wild fruits in Leitas bowl, and immediately asked Li Murou, Are there any wild fruits left?
Li Murou raised her hand with difficulty, and pointed to the canvas bag of hers that wasying next to the fire, there were some fruits left in it.
Luting carefully took out the fruit with his handkerchief and observed it carefully.
After Lin Yueqi called the headquarters, she also came over to check on the wild fruits. She said: This should be beauty pearl, a wild fruit found only in Africa. This ripe fruit is edible, but it cannot be cooked with meat. It can cause dizziness, vomiting and abdominal pain. It seems that they are poisoned.
Li Murous face turned even paler after hearing Lin Yueqis words.
She used the system to test whether it was poisonous, but she forgot about the counteraction of food.
Chapter 214 - Lin Yueqi’s Snake Soup(1)
Ch.214 Lin Yueqis SnakeSoup(1)
When he was receiving training in the United States, his instructor had exined the toxicity of certain wild jungle fruits and given everyone a copy of his handwritten notes.
The notes contained numerous drawings and detailed information regarding the nts the instructor had encountered in the jungle.
However, the instructors handwriting was so bad that no one other than Lu Ting had bothered to look over it seriously.
Meanwhile, Li Murou had believed that she didnt need to read the notes because she could identify poisons with her Gourmet Culinary Goddess. Therefore, she only spared it a few casual flips before turning her focus to physical exercise. After all, she would definitely be criticized if her physical state ended up being the worst.
In order to ensure their safety in the jungle, Lu Ting had pored over the notes, and as if that wasnt enough, hed even forced Lin Yueqi to do it with him.
She was far from being as fluent in English as Daddy Lu, so despite her best efforts, she still struggled to recall which nts were poisonous and which ones were not.
The only reason she was able to recognize the Beautys Pearl was because it looked very simr to a type of wild nt that grew everywhere in the countryside of China. The Beautys Pearl wasnt poisonous on its own, but it couldnt be cooked together with meat.
She remembered that there was a remedy for this kind of nt poisoning, but her mind was nk. Since she couldnt think of it, she turned to Lu Ting.
Go boil a few pots of water and let the water cool down on its own, then make them drink the water until theyve vomited all of the food from their stomachs, he instructed her. Its not lethal, and theyll feel better after they clear it from their system. Even if we dont do anything, the symptoms would alleviate themselves after 40 minutes. It would take approximately half an hour for the rescue helicopter to arrive, plus another two hours to reach the nearest hospital. Therefore, theres no point in calling the rescue helicopter over.
The directors voice sounded from themunication device, asking them if they wanted to keep going.
There was no reason to back down when theyd alreadye this far. None of them were willing to go back withoutpleting the task, so they all grit their teeth and told the director that they would persist.
Furthermore, idents like these happened in every season of Natural Storm and served as a way to test the teams adaptability skills.
Fortunately, Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi were able to handle it well. The director told them some things to pay attention to from there on, and then the call cut off. The rest was entirely up to the two of them.
They helped the others up and propped their bodies up against some boulders. Zhou Qing and Huang Hai were still groaning, while Leita had eaten the most food and was in too much pain to even make a sound.
Lin Yueqi poured some water into their mouths, effectively causing the fruit in their stomachs to react again.. They all crouched down and began to vomit uncontrobly, the food and water pouring out in torrents. One by one, their faces became ghastly pale and distraught.
Once they were done, they leaned weakly against the boulders, their expressions devoid of life.
Afterward, Lin Yueqi fed everyone some painkillers to help them feel better.
Zhou Qing looked at her and almost cried. Sister Qi, you remind me of my mother
Leita didnt speak. His gaze toward Lin Yueqi had softened considerably, but he still refused to put aside his pride and apologize, choosing instead to sit there quietly like a corpse.
Of course, the one who was most embarrassed was Li Murou. She shrunk back and tried to make herself seem as small as possible.
.
This ident was mainly her fault. Fortunately, the symptoms of the Beautys Pearl were only dizziness and vomiting. If it had resulted in a death, then she would have to spend the rest of her life behind bars!
She quickly calmed herself down and apologized, Im sorry, everyone. Even though its not poisonous, the fruit cant be cooked with meat. I didnt know this and implicated everyone. This was entirely my fault.
Seeing that she had taken the initiative to apologize, it would be inappropriate for Zhou Qing and Huang Hai to me her. No, you werent the only one. We didnt know either, so were at fault too. Before I left, I bragged to the director that theres no way our team would have an ident again like during thest season, but look at us now I really jinxed it.
Chapter 215 - Lin Yueqi’s Snake Soup(2)
Ch.215 Lin Yueqis SnakeSoup(2)
Thest seasons guests experienced the same symptoms as them after drinking stagnant water. Stagnant water from the jungle should never be consumed because it was filled with bacteria, and there was no guarantee that all of the bacteria would be killed even if the water was boiled.
This time, they didnt drink stagnant water but got food poisoning instead.
Fortunately, although they didnt have reliable chefs, they had reliable teammates.
Leita was a straightforward and hot-tempered guy who always said whatever he wanted. However, this time around, he didnt have the strength to curse and could onlyment that he picked the wrong thigh to hug.
After the quiet Huang Hai finished vomiting, he opened his mouth again and said out loud what everyone was thinking: Im so hungry
Nothing, whether it was the dried fish, spicy strips, or any of their own dried food, was suitable for them to eat right now.
Lin Yueqi looked at the river not far away, got up, and said to Lu Ting, Daddy Lu, they just threw up everything in their stomachs. They have to eat something, so how about we go catch some fish from the river and make fish soup?
Okay. Although he disliked these teammates, their next task had to bepleted. They shed when it came to opinions about food, but he couldnt just leave them like this.
After all, they were a team.
Lin Yueqi retrieved some tools from the tent and said to them, Old Lu and I will get you guys something to eat. I suggest you all go back to the tent and lie down for a while. Ill call you when dinner is ready.
Zhou Qing responded feebly, Okay, Sister Qi. Come back soon.
***
In the domestic live broadcasting room, the audience was in an uproar as soon as they saw Li Murous delicious-looking chicken soup. The visual effects made it look as though nth food filters wereyered on top of each other, and even the simple outdoor background couldnt take away from its appeal.
As a matter of fact, the audience felt like they could practically smell the soup through the screen and that they werent watching a survival show but the famous culinary show, A Bite of China.
When they saw Leita walking over to Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting to show off his food, theyughed and joked around by saying, Uncle Leita is so naughty, that looks so good, hes so lucky to be able to eat Li Muruos food, he can die without regret now, and so on.
Just as they were boasting that Li Murou had a pair of goddess hands, the ident happened; the participants were poisoned and began to vomit.
This reversal happened so quickly that most of them failed to react immediately. After they confirmed that there was something wrong with Li Murous food, they fell into a silence.
Of course, how could Lin Yueqis fans miss this opportunity?
No way, they got food poisoning! Doesnt Li Murou know that wild fruits from the jungle shouldnt be eaten randomly? Goodness, this woman is so f*cking ignorant! Fortunately, Im not the one eating her food. Otherwise, I would die from pain!
+1, Im not a cook, but itsmon sense that wild fruits shouldnt be eaten carelessly! Who gave her the courage to cook when she didnt even know whether or not the fruit and chicken could be used together? So irresponsible!
How embarrassing Shes really good at cooking, but its a pot of poison.
What kind of chef is this? Who invited her? Didnt the program invite her to improve everyones meals? Yet on the first day, she said that she was on her period and refused to cook. She also wasted a wild boar. The next day, she cooked a pot of poisonous soup that almost killed everyone. What the hell is she doing? Come on, I think that the rescue helicopter should go and take her back! They dont need her for the next task!
Can the food made by someone like this really be eaten?
I have a piece of gossip to share! I heard that Li Muruos food actually tastes like sh*t! The head of a department threw up after eating it and filed aint against her, but they couldnt find anything!
Its normal for idents like these to happen in the jungle. Why are you trying to nder our Muruo? That isnt something you can joke about! Do you have evidence? If you keep running your mouth like that, Ill break your leg! Heh, from the way I see it, Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting are the most suspicious ones! Despite knowing that the fruit couldnt be eaten, they didnt say anything!
What the heck? Hey, are you trying to insult our Qiqi and Brother Ting right in front of us? Ill smash your head in with my keyboard! Did Chef Li ask the others to help her check if the food would be poisonous first? No! And now youre ming our Qiqi and Brother Ting? The way you Li Muruo fans are trying to make her seem innocent is disgusting!
Chapter 216 - Lin Yueqi’s Snake Soup(3)
Ch.216 Lin Yueqis SnakeSoup(3)
Disgusting +1. Seriously, if it werent for the film emperor, how many people would be supporting her? Anyway, I dont like her. Shes a scheming b*tch.
After watching this live broadcast, I finally understand why Lu Ting broke up with her. No brain! You think you can just eat any old fruit in a jungle? She couldve asked her teammates if she wasnt sure! I think she deserved this, and she also deserves to have to watch her ex-boyfriend act lovey-dovey with another woman!
I agree! I would rather have a woman like Lin Yueqi than a conceited one like Li Muruo!
***
As the discussion about Li Murous ident raged on, her poprity dropped once again. More and more people were saying that they didnt want to see her on screen.
Simr situations had happened in every season of this show, and others like it. In the past, it wasnt broadcasted, so whenever something like this happened, the screen would switch to the experts, who would proceed to exin the ident in-depth and warn everyone to not do it again.
This time, since it was live, there was no exnation. Therefore, Li Muruo became the culprit and a target of theizens disgust. In the barrage, there were noticeably less people supporting her.
Meanwhile, when the film emperor Li Xiujie saw the chef he liked being scolded like this, he wanted to step in and defend her again.
However, after he used his real identity to defend Li Muruo the first time, Li Xing had given him a warning. Li Xiujie couldnt just ignore it, since after all, Li Xing was his boss.
Therefore, he could only resist the desire to help Li Murou out again and watch on in silence.
In fact, with his current standing, he didnt need to give anyone face, including his own boss. However, to him, Li Murou was just a chef, an ordinary friend, not his girlfriend. He had no reason to disobey his boss for such an ordinary friend.
However, even after watching the live broadcast, Li Xiujies opinion of Li Murou remained unchanged. He still liked the girl.
Her food not only satisfied his stomach but also brought him a sense of belonging that only delicious food could bring him. As someone from the entertainment circle, he could emphasize with the frequent mistakes she made in front of the camera. After all, she was just an ordinary person. It was normal for her to make such mistakes.
The ident with the wild fruit was also understandable considering the environment they were in. It was impossible for anyone to know everything about the vegetation in the jungle. The reason theizens were reacting so negatively was because they were only looking at it from the moral high ground.
Above all, Li Xiujie believed that Li Muruo shouldnt be the only one taking responsibility for the ident.
Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi cooked their own meals, but what about the others? They saw Li Muruo picking and cutting the fruit, but none of them knew that it couldnt be cooked with meat either. Therefore, the food poisoning was a team ident, not an individual ident.
Those were Li Xiujies thoughts on it.
Evidently, the roles within the team had been shifted. At first, Li Muruo was the core member, but after food poisoning, it became Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi who became the leaders. This would make things very awkward for Li Muruo. The more Li Xiujie Looked at it, the more worried he grew about her situation.
***
After leaving the camp, Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting went to the river.
The river water was deep and not as clear as a brook, so they couldnt see any fish. They also didnt have fishing tools. After staying by the river for a while, they had no choice but to go back empty-handed.
However, before leaving, Lin Yueqi pulled out some of the wild vegetables that were growing on the bank. It was a nt called fat-hen, and it was nutrient-dense with detoxifying effects.
When they were on their way back to the camp, she suddenly grabbed Lu Tings sleeve and asked him to stop. Look, Old Lu.
Lu Ting followed her line of sight and saw a snake wrapped around a tree not too far away. Immediately, he felt goosebumps run up his spine and subconsciously wanted to pull Lin Yueqi away.
However, she was full of excitement and even gulped as she said, I havent had snake meat in so long.
Lu Ting looked at her gulping, and then at the snake.
Miss Lin, are you the devil?
Chapter 217 - Lin Yueqi’s Snake Soup(4)
Ch.217 Lin Yueqis SnakeSoup(4)
By this time, the sun hadpletely sunken into the clouds, and the sky was dark. She took out a shlight from her pocket, handed it to Lu Ting, and instructed, When you see my signal, turn on the shlight and aim it at its eyes, then Ill catch it.
Lu Ting:
Be careful, he said helplessly.
Mhm.
Lu Ting followed her instructions and aimed the light at the snake, which immediately recoiled back. Lin Yueqi took advantage of the opportunity and immediately grabbed its tail, immobilized it, and swiftly held down its head.
The execution was so neat and skillful that the snake was subdued before Lu Ting could react.
The girl pinches the snakes tail in one hand and the snakes head in the other, which makes the snake lose its resistance abilitypletely.
When she returned to the camp with the snake in hand, the men were all stunned.
Zhou Qings face turned white with fright. Holy sh*t, Sister Qi, what are you doing? Dont tell me were eating this tonight?
He never wouldve expected such a soft and delicate-looking girl like her to catch a snake with her bare hands.
Lin Yueqi took the remaining arrowheads, nailed the snakes head down, and started to skin it while responding, Yes, Im making snake soup for dinner.
There was no hesitation in her movements.
Leitas face flushed with agitation. Oh, my God! Are you Chinese people demons? How could you eat a snake?
The men silently looked at Lin Yueqi.
At the moment, Lu Tings mood was also veryplicated, and his expression was quite dark.
Hed realized that Lin Yueqi was much more valiant than hed expected, and his days of living a life of status woulde to an end after they got married. He would probably have the lowest standing in their family.
Leita was also stunned. This was his first time seeing such a tough woman. He carefully thought back to everything Lin Yueqi had done over the past two days and felt that she didnt seem like a female Chinese celebrity at all. Hed heard that the Chinese liked very slim women, but Lin Yueqi wasnt skinny at all.
He couldnt help but elbow Lu Ting and ask in a low whisper, Bro, what did your woman do before? She doesnt seem like a celebrity at all.
Lu Ting responded, his facepletely serious, Criminal.
After seeing his expression, Zhou Qing couldnt help but add, Yeah, she would be the type to kill without batting an eye.
Leita: The way he looked at Lin Yueqi became more and moreplicated.
The small iron pot soon heated up and turned red over the fire.
Lin Yueqi took out a ss jar from her backpack and twisted it open. She spooned out a small amount ofrd oil and added it to the pot. Then, she tossed the snake meat together with some peppercorn. When an aroma wafted out, she added water and brought it to a boil, producing a milky white soup.
Although it looked a little worse than the chicken soup optimized by Li Murous food system, both the color and aroma of the snake soup gave everyone a very authentic feeling.
They missed Li Muruos cooking, but right now, they were starving and didnt mind eating Lin Yueqis food one bit.
About half an hourter, the snake soup was ready.
Leita was so hungry that he could hardly wait to have something fill his stomach again, so he didnt refuse Lin Yueqis soup. He nned to only drink the soup and avoid eating the snake meat entirely.
Before, he had only heard about how cruel the Chinese were.
Snakes, insects, rats they would eat anything that could fly in the sky or run on the ground. Today, he truly understood what it meant to be a Chinese who could eat anything.
Li Murou also had a taste of the snake soup. As the vor spread across her tongue, she quickly became more and more unsettled. Although Lin Yueqi wasnt a professional chef, her culinary skills were solid. The snake soup tasted excellent.
And sure enough, the foreign mercenaries were full of praise for Lin Yueqis food. Even Leita, whod always had a bad attitude toward Lin Yueqi, was praising her excitedly, This is delicious!
Lin Yueqi, who was also holding a bowl in hand, deliberately inhaled some of the steam and then said with a very nasally voice, I, Leita, would rather jump into a fire and burn to death than eat a single bite of your food.
Leita:
Lu Ting:
This woman really knew how to hold a grudge.
Chapter 218 - Punished with “Food Like Sh*t” (1)
Ch.218 Punished with Food Like Sh*t(1)
After a moment of embarrassment, Leita coughed and let out a shamelessugh, then he looked down at his bowl and stopped talking.
He nned to let that dumbugh disperse the awkwardness in the air.
The chat screen for the live broadcast was swimming withments.
Hahaha, Im dead! This is the best! Sure enough, no one can escape Wang Jingzes Law!
(T/N: Wang Jingze is an inte celebrity famous for his reform from an extremely rowdy and foul-mouthed young man. When he threatened to leave his vige, the vige head told him to stay for a meal, to which he responded, I, Wang Jingze, would rather starve, die outside, or jump off a cliff than eat a single bite of your food! However, when he got hungry enough, he ate the food and even said smells good. This waster dubbed Wang Jingzes Law, or the Smells Good Law.)
Hahaha, Qiqi is really vengeful. Qiqi, you have to be careful not to offend too many people! Since youre abroad right now, you have to think before you act! You cant always be so straightforward.
Hey, am I the only one who got the main point? At first, I thought that Li Muruo was king and Qiqi was bronze,** but it turns out that Qiqi was the real king! She looked so cool when she was catching the snake! I think Im going to fall in love, Qiqi, I want to marry you!
(** Bronze refers to the lowest rank, the weakest role, while king is the highest rank, the strongest, most important role.)
I did too. Lin Yueqi seems like she knows how to do everything, and her practical ability is so much stronger than Li Muruos! Qiqi not only knows how to catch wild fish but also how to make bow and arrows, and catch snakes with her bare hands. Who wouldnt like such a strong woman? Excuse me, but Im going to kneel down for her!
Seriously! Lin Yueqi is so impressive, and her practical ability is at MAX! Sure, Li Muruos food videos are great, but thats all she knows how to do. Now that shes in the real wilderness, her fancy cooking skills are a little ummm She cooks, and the men do everything else for her. She didnt even wash her own ingredients, while Lin Yueqi caught her own fish! Her chicken soup did look really good, but it was also really. unrealistic. I dont know how to describe it, it just looked too good to be real. Lin Yueqis snake soup, on the other hand, looks so homey and authentic.
Yeah, and it wont cause food poisoning! Also, Lin Yueqi is definitely an old hand at catching snakes. I remember having to catch king rat snakes like that when I lived in the countryside, but I never dared to use my bare hands. Youre so awesome, Qiqi!
***
Thanks to Lin Yueqis valiant disy, Natural Storm went viral only two days after going live.
#Who dares to go against the valiant Lin Yueqi
#Sexy mom Lin Yueqi makes mercenaries cry
#Li Muruo nearly kills people with food poisoning, awkward as hell
As soon as these three topics started trending, the collective response for the first two was ahahaha, I am now a fan of Lin Yueqi.
The response on Li Muruos end was the exact opposite. There werent many people watching the show live. After all, there was no editing. Mostizens were afraid that it would be too boring, so they would rather wait for the filming to finish.
In the video that was trending, the food poisoning ident was shown. The parts where Li Muruo was cooking were deliberately cut out so only the clips of everyone getting sick remained.
Theizens were enraged when they saw the video.
Li Muruo is actually sick! What kind of chef is that careless?
Did Li Muruo go abroad so she could humiliate herself?
Goodness, that scared me to death! Fortunately, everyone is OK! Li Muruo seems so conceited and overconfident, plus I get the feeling that shes trying to sabotage Lin Yueqin? I dont know whether her rtionship with Lu Ting is true or false, but if I were Lu Ting, I would have to be blind to like a woman like her.
+1, Lu Ting would have to be blind to like a woman like her.
As the number of people cursing at Li Muruo grew, a well-known director suddenly posted a Weibo. The director was a fan of Li Muruo, and, like Li Xiujie, he believed that food poisoning was apletely normal urrence in the wild. It was unfair for one person to have to take responsibility when the mistake should be shouldered by the entire team.
Afterward, a group of both famous and not-so-famous actors and actresses followed suit and started to like andment on his post.
Once again, Li Muruos connections were working to help her, even when she wasnt in the country and couldnt speak for herself.
Before long, after thinking that the directors words made sense, theizens calmed down.
And with that, the show went on.
***
In the following week, the team was too busy for Li Muruo to redeem herself. They ate either dry biscuits or wild berries that were picked from the bushes during their trek.
Every day, they would get less than 5 hours of sleep and wake up to continue on their way at 5 a.m. before the sun rose. It was very tiring.
On the ninth day, they finally reached the destination on the map.
Unfortunately, they failed to find any recent traces of the wild elephants. Judging from the feces that were left behind, they had left as early as half a month ago.
By now, all of their dry food was gone, which meant they would have to rely on the jungle and their own hunting skills for food.
In order to ensure sufficient ammunition, Lin Yueqi proposed to only use bullets if they encountered a wild beast. Otherwise, they should use the bow and arrows made by her and Lu Ting. Ever since he was pped in the face by Wang Jingzes Law, Leitas attitude toward Lin Yueqi had changed greatly. He was always courteous, even offering to carry her bags.
Chapter 219 - Punished with “Food Like Sh*t” (2)
Ch.219 Punished with Food Like Sh*t(2)
After Lin Yueqi became the obvious leader of their team, Li Muruo was gradually forgotten.
She rarely spoke, andpared to Lin Yueqi, her presence was almost nonexistent. As the only two women in the team, Li Muruo felt that she was now just an object in the background, which greatly unsettled her. However, in front of the camera, she could only hold it in.
One morning, when Lin Yueqi was asleep, Li Murou opened her eyes and stared at the back of her head for a while.
Then, she took out a bottle from her pocket, unscrewed the cap, and dumped the African insects inside of it on Lin Yueqi.
As they climbed down her hair to her cheeks, she seemed to feel them and pped her own face, effectively killing them.
Li Murou was startled and quickly closed her eyes. She held her breath and listened for a while. It seemed that Lin Yueqi was still asleep. However, as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Yueqis palmnded on her face with a resounding p.
Her sticky palm, covered in the bodies and juices of the dead insects, moved toward Li Muruos mouth. Eat, Tuantuan, she murmured.
It sounded like she was sleeptalking.
As Lin Yueqi tried to force the insects inside her mouth, Li Muruo angrily pped her hand away. Tired of dealing with her, she turned around in her sleeping bag and tried to go back to sleep, then all of a sudden, Lin Yueqi kicked her from the side.
It was such a hard kick that Li Muruo almost cried out in pain.
With that, she reached the end of her forbearance. She sat up, rubbing her throbbing waist, and raised a hand to p her.
However, just then, Lin Yueqi also sat up. Her movements were like a zombies, nearly scaring Li Muruo to death.
Lin Yueqi looked at Li Muruos raised hand, rubbed her eyes, and asked innocently, What are you doing, miss? Trying out setting-up exercise for sore muscles?
Li Murou looked at the idiot woman in front of her, gnashing her teeth.
How could Lu Ting like this kind of woman? Didnt he find it shameful to have an idiot beside him?
Lin Yueqi yawned. Guess what? I just had two nightmares. In the first one, I was trying to feed a fattie cake, but she refused to open her mouth. In the second one, I was being stalked by a pervert. I rolled up my sleeves and had a good tussle with him! Felt real good!
Upon hearing that, Li Murou subconsciously rubbed her waist and hissed, You kicked me.
Lin Yueqi was shocked. Ah? Really? Let me see!
Without waiting for Li Muruo to agree, Lin Yueqi reached over and pulled up the girls shirt. As expected, there was a bruise.
Wow, its really bruised! Ill rub it for you. Ptooey
She spat two mouthfuls of saliva on her palm and smeared it all over Li Murous waist.
Li Murou: I really want to kill this woman.
She pushed her away, frowning, and said, I need to use the bathroom.
Oh, then I wont apany you. Its cold outside. Lin Yueqi burrowed back into her sleeping bag and pretended to tremble miserably.
When Li Muruo turned around to leave the tent, Lin Yueqi made a face at her.
***
Despite waking up so early, Li Murou didnt go back to the tent. Instead, she went to clean the rabbit that Leita caught the previous night. She nned to make a roast rabbit.
This time, she couldnt afford to make any more mistakes. She had to do it before everyone got up. Lin Yueqi was still asleep, and Lu Ting hadnt left his tent. Everyone was so tired these days, there was no way the two would have time to act all lovey-dovey.
Li Murou went to a nearby river to clean the rabbit. Meanwhile, Lu Ting stepped out of his tent, toiletries in hand.
Nine days had passed since they entered the jungle. In these nine days, Lin Yueqi had eaten a lot of food without doing any real exercise.
Despite how much walking and hunting theyd done, she didnt lose any weight at all. Therefore, Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi made an appointment to wake up early that morning to exercise.
Lin Yueqis weight was now 140lbs/64kg. Although she had made progress, her BMI was still on the high side, so she needed to focus on reducing body fat. It was best to be thin and healthy.
Lu Ting didnt actually care about whether or not she would be able to return to her former weight. Even if her current figure ended up hindering her career, it was alright because he could support her for her entire life. It was her health that he worried about.
While he was brushing his teeth, he noticed that Li Muruo had also gotten up and was cleaning a rabbit in a river not too far away.
Afterward, he went to Lin Yueqis tent and called out her name.
However, the girl in the tent merely closed her eyes and remained unresponsive as to escape from Daddy Lus demonic training.
Im going in if you dont get up, he threatened.
Chapter 220 - Punished with “Food Like Sh*t” (
Ch.220 Punished with Food Like Sh*t(3)
Since she was pretending to be asleep, she didnt respond. She would persist even if he entered her tent. Lu Ting sighed, put down his toiletries outside, took off his shoes, and entered the tent.
The two-person tent was small. At his height of 1.9 meters, Lu Ting couldnt stand up straight or even sit on his kneesfortably. He crawled in on his knees, frowned, and reached for Lin Yueqi with a cold hand.
It waste autumn, so the morning was chill. She shivered when the mans hand touched her neck.
However, for the sake of getting more sleep, Lin Yueqi clenched her teeth and refused to give in.
Seeing this, Lu Ting decided to unleash Tuantuans ultimate technique, which was to ce his foot by her mouth. He even went as far as to nudge his toes into her mouth.
Lin Yueqi:
Youre supposed to be a domineering CEO, Daddy Lu! Could you not use such underhanded methods? Sooner orter, you will be kicked out of the domineering CEO circle.
She turned over, tucked her head into her sleeping bag, and continued to sleep.
Lu Ting:
***
After Lu Ting woke up, the other three men in his tent were unable to keep sleeping and also got up one after another. The aroma of roast rabbit filled their nostrils as soon as they stepped out of the tent.
Li Muruo had made hand-shredded roast rabbit.
With the help of the Gourmet Culinary Goddess system, the rabbit looked and tasted just as it should, even without any actual seasoning. It was vorful and golden and even had a sprinkle of crispy sesame on top.
Leita, Zhou Qing, Huang Hai, and one of the photographers were immediately lured over by the delicious aroma. They were absolutely famished afterst night and didnt even stop to wash their hands before sitting down to eat.
It was their second time eating Li Murous food since they entered the forest, and once again, they were shocked by the taste.
This time, no additional ingredients from the jungle were added, so they greedily dug in and left no parts uneaten.
The rabbit meat was rich and juicy, and the skin perfectly crispy with a spicy kick. The fresh, wild rabbit was elevated to the highest level by Li Murous cooking skills, bing something absolutely delectable and addictive.
As they ate, they all began to reflect on how they had been treating Li Muruo in the past few days. Did they give too much credit to Lin Yueqi?
Meanwhile, inside the tent, the oppressive auraing from Lu Ting could almost suffocate a person.
But not Lin Yueqi. She held on firmly to her purpose and managed to get an extra half hour of sleep.
Lu Ting tried every method he could think of to wake her up, but to no avail. Finally, he unzipped the sleeping bag, exposing her body to him.
Heh, did he think she would wake up if he unzipped the sleeping bag? Wishful thinking!
However, just when Lin Yueqi thought she was going to win, a certain someones body weighed down on her like a mountain. His chest was pressed closely against her chest, his hand on her waist, his lips touching her ear.
Lin Yueqi shuddered as goosebumps rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This was so erotic! So tell her he was going tothatin broad daylight
He blew softly in her ear and then lowered his voice to an irresistible murmur, Baby, if you dont get up, Im going to kiss you.
Shed always known that Lu Ting had an attractive voice, but she never thought it could be this sexy!
When she felt his hot breath moving closer to her lips, she immediately opened her eyes and gave him a push. F*ck, Old Lu! I never knew you were this perverted!
Youre awake? In that case,e out and do five sets of nks with me. Lu Ting sat up and pulled her up by the wrist.
Because of his maic baby just now, Lin Yueqis heart was still pounding. As a result, the very ordinary action of pulling her wrist caused her whole face to burn up like a monkeys butt.
Lu Ting didnt notice anything at first, but when he saw her red face, he quickly and guiltily released her wrist.
Meanwhile, outside the tent.
Li Muruo was in the middle of tearing the rabbit meat with her fingers when a system notification sounded in her ears: The male and female leads rtionship has improved by three points. You will be punished with three hours of Food Like Sh*t, and every good impression your teammates have of your food will be erased.
As soon as it finished, there was a terrible stench in the air.
Zhou Qing, Leita, and Huanghai suddenly swallowed two mouthfuls of sh*t. The stench bombed their senses, and they immediately jumped up and ran off in different directions to vomit.
With the rabbit meat came out all of the wild berries and dry food they had consumed previously. At this moment, they even began to miss the food poisoning ident. At leastst time, there wasnt such a strong and disgusting smell that it left them traumatized.
Chapter 221 - Li Murou Reveals Her True Self (1)
Ch.221 Li Murou Reveals Her True Self(1)
Lu Ting tugged Lin Yueqi out of the tent to see the four sitting around the bonfire and vomiting.
The guys were about to vomit their intestines out. Seeing how ill they appeared and how it seemed to be more serious than the food poisoning from the other day, Lin Yueqi was about to ask about their well-being when the three got up and ran towards the deep water not far from them. While running, they cried, Too stinky! Too stinky! I cant take it anymore! Ahhh!
It was as if they were being carried by wind as they sped over. They were vigorous and active and it didnt seem like they were suffering from food poisoning.
Li Murou had some wild rabbits too. She also vomited out of the rabbits stinkiness. She picked up the thermal bottle on the ground and rinsed her mouth with water. She didnt care about revealing her ugly side. She only cared about vomiting her intestines out.
On the other side, disregarding the cold weather, the three men jumped into the deep water to cleanse themselves, trying to wash off the stinkiness.
Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting nced at each other after seeing how strangely they were acting.
Lu Ting furrowed his brows and said, Im going to take a look. Go ask whats going on.
While saying this, he lifted his chin and pointed at Li Murou. Although she was really unwilling, Lin Yueqi walked over and sat by a rock next to her. When Li Murou was about done vomiting, she asked, Little sister, what happened? Food poisoning again?
When she heard again, this felt like an attack to Li Murous heart. She clutched her chest and almost spat blood out.
Lin Yueqi reached over and patted her back. She helped her adjust her breathing before saying, You should inform everyone before cooking. That way, we can inspect to see whether the ingredients are poisonous or not. I know youre treated like a princess in the city and have a haughty attitude. Thats normal but you cant treat everyones health as a joke. Leita is the leader of our safety. If something happens to him and we encounter poachers, who will be responsible for our safety?
Li Murou clenched her fists and red at her.
Lin Yueqi ignored her resentful re and wrinkled her brows. She fanned her nose and eximed, Damn, whats this smell? Why is it so stinky?
She wrinkled her nose and sniffed the air.
Li Murou subconsciously moved away from her.
When Lu Ting walked over, the guys were already out of the water. They sat on the shore side by side, panting heavily.
Zhou Qing said, Jesus. The air is finally refreshing and I feelfortable now.
The reserved Huang Hai almost cried. He rubbed his teary eyes and eximed, How did we offend her? She actually fed us poisonous food. Once or twice was one thing. But shes done it multiple times now. Is she the spy sent over by the poachers?
Leita rubbed his brows and punched the rock next to him. In an angry tone, I freaking cant tolerate this anymore. That damned woman has ordinary culinary skills, yet you guys are ttering her up to heaven for what? Now, look. Not only didnt we get to eat a single edible meal cooked by her, she even ruined the hard-earned prey we hunted. Thats fine. Whats worse was that her inedible food almost cost us our lives! She cant do anything. Shes not even a celebrity in China. How in the world did she manage to get in here? Just how influential was the person who opened the backdoor to her?
Because the [Gourmet Food Deity] system had wiped away all good impressions of Li Murous culinary skills from their minds, they couldnt recall how delicious her food was anymore.
Instead, the three carefully recalled back to the bread and canned thick soup. These were blurry memories.
Originally, the memory of the bread and canned thick soup contained a golden-yellow glow and a unique delicious aste. But now, when they recalled the bread and canned thick soup, the scenes were all blurry and fuzzy. The taste also appeared to be fishy and salty. It lost its delicious scent.
They then recalled Li Murous pheasant soup.
Although the soup caused them to get food poisoning, in their original memory, the soup was really tasty. But now, the soup was faint and tasteless. The color also felt ordinary and still.
Chapter 222 - Li Murou Reveals Her True Self (2)
Ch.222 Li Murou Reveals Her True Self(2)
They then recalled the roasted wild rabbits tasteIt was no delicious food! Instead, their minds were full of the stinky scent. That scent smelled like poop and it attacked ones senses. It was really disgusting.
All the food Li Murou had made became disgusting cuisines in their minds. But even so, the three men didnt find anything strange. They just acted like grumpy men,ining to lu Ting.
Zhou Qing said, I dont understand why she came to the show to harm us. Just how did we offend her? The bread and canned thick soup tasted fishy and salty while the pheasant soup had no taste at all. As for that wild rabbitGood heavens. There were no vorings at all. It also contained an indescribable stinky smell. I suddenly miss Sister Nianqis roasted fish now
Huang Hai also said, Brother Qing, stop talking. Im so disgusted that I want to vomit just thinking of her bread and canned thick soup. Was there something wrong with me? I actually thought it tasted good back then? Taste good my a**
The reserved Huang Hai who was basically invisible within the group suddenly cursed. Everyone looked unbelievably at him.
Leitas aggressive attitude was apparent. In an thunderous voice, F***. Here I thought the biggest danger here was the poachers. Who knewheh. Its not just disgusting cuisine at this point. Thats crap! Its warm and fresh crap!
Lu Ting was speechless.
Everyone roasted Li Murou. He knew that she didnt know how to cook, yet these people were the ones ttering her. They went against their consciences topliment her culinary skills, probably because they were forced by the situation. Now that they were poisoned by Li Murou, they finally couldnt take it anymore and exploded.
Lu Ting felt really gratified. At least, they finally woke up from their dreams and were willing to stand up and say: Lu Murous food is trash.
He peered at the campground before asking, Are you guys feeling okay?
Zhou Qing took a deep breath and then responded, Im fine. Brother Ting, the disgusting cuisine had hurt our poor souls. We might be traumatized and suffer from erectile dysfunction.
Lu Ting was bewildered.Traumatized? Okay. But what does this have to do with erectile dysfunction?
Leita smacked Lu Tings shoulders, a lifeless look. Brother, from now on, were relying on you. Dont worry. As long as you can promise that we wont starve to death, Ill definitely treat you as my friend once we get out of this forest. If someone dares to bully you, Ill fly to China to beat them up for you.
Huang Hai softly soughed. He really wanted to remind him that Lu Ting was the grandson of the wealthiest person in China. Who dares to bully him?
Seeing that their bodies were still soaked, he stood up to say, Go change your clothes. Ill go look for some food with Lin Yueqi.
Zhou Qing was about to get on his knees. Brother Ting, youre the kindest person. Youre my model!
Leita also wanted to cry seeing how Lu Ting disregarded the past. He hugged him and patted him hard on the back. Brother, thank you!
Although they lost a cook, they wouldnt starve to death in the wild. They were also survival experts in the wilderness. They didnt mind working on their own. But because they trusted Li Murou too much and didnt bring any seasonings, it was hard for them to take in tasteless foods after eating food mixed with seasonings.
In the live-broadcast room within the country, the online users saw the food after it had been optimized by the [Gourmet Food Deity] system. Just a moment before, they were stillmenting how beautiful the food looked but they were shocked right after.
What the heck? Whats going on? Food poisoning again?
No waybut there arent any side dishes? Could the rabbit be poisonous?
Look at how much the people are vomiting. Its much worse than the other day. Damn. Whats going on? Im so anxious just looking at the live broadcast. If only theres someone exining the situation right now.
Howe things always fall apart whenever Li Murou is cooking? Clearly, shes just not suited for cooking. Though the videos in the past had been filtered, heh. I think she doesnt know how to cook at all.
Chapter 223 - Li Murou Reveals Her True S
Ch.223 Li Murou Reveals Her True Self(3)
Person above, youre hrious. If she doesnt know how to cook, how can our little fairy Murou cook such beautiful-looking food? This is a live-broadcast. How can she add special effects? Youre quite funny. Heh. Of course you try to nder her.
Can we continue to watch and not fight? I dont think it has to do with little sister Murous food but rather the three of them mistakenly ate something? Lets continue to watch.
The live-broadcast room stayed silent for a while before the scene cut to Lin Yueqi and Li Murou talking. The timedments started praising andmenting 1111.
1111. I agree with Lin Yueqi. Li Murou is too haughty. She thinks that just because shes an online celebrity thats been praised by the film emperor and famous directors that shes everything? Hrious. Shes not suited for this show at all. Shes making the food all shy and whatnot. But who knows? Maybe she added some poisonous seasonings inside [rolls eyes].
111, Li Murou is too arrogant. If she was willing to ask everyone if the wild fruits were poisonous or not, they wouldnt have gotten food poisoning a few days ago.
When the live-broadcast cut to Lu Ting and the men, the online users sunk into silence after listening to their ridicule. Next, the bullet screen started to explode.
!!! As it turned out, they didnt eat anything wrong. Rather, they were just fed disgusting food which was why they vomited.
Thats too much of an exaggeration. It looks pretty good on the video. It didnt seem like it was going to be disgusting. Even if it was, they didnt need to jump into the water did they? Were they doing this for the sake of effect and purposely acting it out?
Why dont you vomit and show us? If you can, Ill immediately contact the Oscars and have them give you an award.
UhI also think theyre exaggerating. Even if its disgusting cuisine, they didnt need to vomit like that did they? Plus, when they first started eating, they were wolving down the food. Why did they suddenly say it tasted bad? Maybe
Maybe it has to do with the ingredient itself? Didnt you guys notice? This is a live-broadcast. It hasnt been edited or anything. But Li Murous food was so beautiful and delicious-looking as if it had been filtered. It looked perfect. Dont you guys thinksomething is off? EmmmI think that Li Murou added other things into the food so that it could look good under the cameras. But as long as it wasnt too disgusting, everyone should be able to reluctantly ept it no? Looking at their huge reactions, I think Li Murou probably didnt control how much food additives she added, causing the food to be unbearable to eat
Everyone thought thement made sense. The three men clearly werent pretending. It was clear how disgusting Li Murous food was.
Im curious as to what she added. Was it that strong? I looked over her food. It was reallyperfect and surreal. She probably actually added some things for the effect.
Do you guys still remember the wild boar meat? It became stinky overnight. Yet, Li Murou said that it tasted better after cing it overnight. Im suspicious of her needing time to ferment her special food additives. Even more, she needed to control the quantity. If she used too much, it would cause the food to be stinky. But if she used just the right amount, not only could she keep the freshness, the taste is also guaranteed.
Damn. Are you Sherlock Holmes? I actually think your reasoning makes sense.
So if there is someone in this field that understands what Li Murou used? Does Taobao sell it? I want to buy it! The next time I go to my boyfriends house, Ill bring the food additive along. I can look good in front of my parents-inw! Haha!
You guys have quite the imagination, denying someones hard work just because of your guesses. Heh. Shut up. Theres probably an inside story to the rabbit meat. The cameraman just didnt capture it. In these primitive forests, do you guys even know how many unknown nts and creatures are in there? Maybe some sort of nt affected the quality of the meat? Please. Be nice.
Li Murou was on the top of the hot search after this.

Chapter 224 - Li Murou Reveals Her True Self (4)
Ch.224 Li Murou Reveals Her True Self(4)
There has been much negative news about Li Murou recently. Because of a certain famous director, many celebrities all jumped out to cheer for her. Because of these peoples influence, not only didnt Li Murou lose fans, her fans thought that the guesses about her using food additives was clearly nonsense when the two subjects came up.
There were many cursing Li Murou out under the topics as well but lots of people also endorsed her. She became famous just like that and her poprity could bepared to A or B-listing celebrities.
In reality, online celebrities influences werent much worse than the celebrities in the entertainment circle.
Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting went to pick some edible sour fruits. They got some crystal sugar and cooked a pot of sugar candy for everyone to taste.
The sugar could replenish peoples staminas so they all had some. After drinking the sweet soup, it finally repressed the foul odor. After eating, Leita red at Li Murou and warned, From now on, you better be well-behaved in the team. Dont touch our food anymore. Otherwise, Ill chop your hands off!
This was the first time Li Murou got warned by Leita. She shrunk back in fear, feeling a bit nervous.
Her eyes teared up in order to win peoples sympathy. She kept her head down and started wiping her tears, choking out, I dont know why the rabbit meat became stinky. But I promise that I didnt do anything wrong with the cooking. I can actually cook. You guys have eaten my bread and canned thick soup before, as well as the pheasant soup. You guys should know that I can cook.
Leita wanted to shoot and end her. In a furious voice, You dare to mention the bread and canned thick soup? It had a fishy smell, disgusting. You? A cook? Dont humiliate the word cook.
This time, Zhou Qing didnt help her either. He scolded softly, Murou, we know youre arrogant and youre used to being ttered. But you need to admit the truth. You can make shy food and satisfy the online users needs but in reality, your food isnt edible.
Li Murou felt stuffy inside. She bit her lips and said, Please believe me. Give me another chance. I will prove myself. My father has been a chef inside the Lu Family for so many years. Ive learned from him. How can my food not be edible? There must be something wrong with the ingredient and not my cookingIf you dont believe me, you guys can ask Brother Ting. Ive cooked for him when I was only a teenager. At that time, my cooking was already pretty good.
She must show weakness right now. Only then, these guys would feel bad and wouldnt dare to scold her anymore.
She looked pitiful, making the guys hearts soften.
Lu Ting was helping Lin Yueqi roll up her sleeves when he detected several gazes. He froze before saying, I dont remember.
He didnt have a good impression of Lin Murous food anyway. It tasted alright, yet people kept ttering it. He said that he didnt remember because he wanted to save her the embarrassment since she knew his father.
Li Murou was speechless.
Leita waved his hands and said impatiently, Okay, okay. We believe you. Its the ingredients fault. We believe youre a great chef, happy? Stop crying.
Everyone was talking when there was a rustle and loud movement behind the forest.
The ground was trembling as if there was an earthquake.
Next, they heard the roaring of elephants.
They immediately stood up and an adult elephant rushed out from the forest, inching towards them.
Mark! Lin Yueqi was surprised. This is Mark!
Yet, before everyone could be happy, Mark suddenly charged into the tent despite not usually attacking people. He stomped on their tents.
Everyone panicked and scattered. Lin Yueqi and Li Murou were forced to separate from the guys, swept to the other side by the elephant.
Run! Run in a S-line! Dont run straight!
Leita eximed. They all ran in different directions.
Lu Ting wanted to go after Lin Yueqi but Mark flung his trunk and swept him away.
Lin Yueqi and Li Murou ran into the forest. The elephant lifted a tent and tossed it in their direction.
The two girls tripped but then quickly got up. The elephant charged over. At thest second, Li Murou kicked the wood by her feet in Lin Yueqis direction. She stepped on it and tripped over.
Li Murou ran away without looking back. Countless secondster, she heard Lin Yueqis tragic cries.
Chapter 225 - Shoot (1)
They didnt have many cameramans in the first ce. The cameras couldnt attend to everyone.
When the elephant was going mad, Li Murou and Lin Yueqi specially stood together. Before kicking the wood, she was already sure that the cameraman ran in the other direction so there was no way theyd be able to get her.
Even if the camera was on them, with the elephant in the way and the chaos that urred at their campground, no one would notice her kicking a wood at Lin Yueqi. Even if it did, she could say she didnt do it on purpose. Because of the emergency, she didnt pay attention to what was under her feet.
When the elephant entered the campground, she already had this thought in mind.
Because of Lin Yueqi and Lu Tings good impressions on each other, her [Gourmet Food Deity] system had frequently made errors. If Lin Yueqi disappeared from the world, then she and Lu Ting wouldnt produce any so-called intimacy points. Her [Gourmet Food Deity] wouldnt make any more mistakes either.
[Gourmet Food Deity] system was really strong. There was only one fatal weakness so far. Once Lin Yueqi disappeared, the system would be invincible. By then, she didnt need to worry about errors with the system making delicious food.
Although she frequently made mistakes on the show, she was confident with the system. If the system lost its opponent, shed be able to regain her public reputation.
When Li Murou heard the tragic cries behind her, she didnt look back and continued to run ahead. She could even imagine what would happen to Lin Yueqi after being stampeded by the elephant.
Maybe her flesh would be crushed, maybe her limbs wouldve been separatedIn short, there was no good result.
Thinking of this, the grievances she suffered in the past days didnt mean as much to her anymore. She feltforted inside.
It was a mess by the campground.
Lu Ting stood up and dashed over as quickly as he could, seeing that Lin Yueqi was about to be trampled over by Mark. He used his body to act as a shield between Lin Yueqi and Mark, blocking all the danger from her.
Lin Yueqi screamed and subconsciously closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to arrive.
Leita, Zhou Qing, Huang Hai, and the other mercenaries as well as the cameramans ran into the forest and heard Lin Yueqis screams. They all stopped running and felt frightened.
Zhou Qing recalled how caring Lin Yueqi had been to them for the past few days. He didnt have the heart to leave her behind so he made up his mind and walked back.
Huang Hai couldnt stop him so he hesitated before following him too.
It was the mercenaries responsibility to protect these guests. They carried their guns and ran back too.
When they returned, they saw such a scene.
A little elephant ran out of the forest and greeted Mark. Smiling, it picked up a wood with its trunk and tossed it at Mark.
Mark lifted his trunk and was about to fling it at Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting but the little elephants voice came just in time. It stopped its attack mid-air. Hearing the little elephants voice, he immediately turned around and trotted at him.
The little elephant looked around a year old. He was still really small, looking like a little baby in front of Mark.
Mark patted the little elephant with his trunk like this was some fatherly love. He restrained his madness.
Lin Yueqi opened her eyes to see the man also closing his eyes as if epting death. Right now, she felt sour inside. She cupped Lu Tings face and asked, Father Lu, are you okay?
Lu Ting opened his eyes to see Mark leaving. He stood up and helped Lin Yueqi up.
Lin Yueqi had sprained her feet, her ankle swelling. She was unable to walk at all. Lu Ting kneeled in front of her and eximed, Get on.
Chapter 226 - Shoot (2)
The elephant was still at the campground and hadnt left yet. She knew how urgent the situation was so she immediately got on Lu Tings back. She just hugged the mans neck when he grabbed her feet and ran in the direction of the group.
Everyone all crouched high up and used the trees as cover. Seeing that the elephant was no longer attacking people, they observed the ce where the two elephants were.
After they met up with the group, Lu Ting still didnt dare to put Lin Yueqi down despite kneeling down. Once there was a change to the situation, he could immediately carry Lin Yueqi and run.
Everyone sighed in relief after finding out that they were safe and sound. Zhou Qing said, Sister Qi, Brother Ting, you guys almost scared us to death. Leita almost shot
Leita was a frequent guest to the forest. He protected many elephant rescue organizations volunteers into the forest. He had feelings towards the elephant. Unless it was needed, he wouldnt hurt the elephants.
He ced his gun down, his hands trembling. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked, How are you guys? Are you guys hurt?
No. Lu Ting shook his head and continued to stare at the elephants.
Lin Yueqiid on Lu Tings back and asked softly, I remember reading on the information file that Mark is gentle. He wouldnt attack people directly. What happened to him? Whats with that little elephant? If the female elephant we encountered was Marks wife, then looking at the size and age of this little elephant, he was just born. There was no way he was Marks child. The female elephant was pregnant for nearly two years. Her baby should at least be a year old. How could this be her child?
Woah, Mark has a wife and a mistress? No wonder he wasnt by the mothers side when she died. Hes a scumbag huh? Mark sure is cool. He reached the peak of his life.
Zhou Qing just finished his words when he got smacked by Lin Yueqi. Dont act brain dead okay?
Zhou Qing scratched the back of his head and said softly, Im just trying to ease the tension
Huang Hai also scolded, Even if youre trying to ease the tension, you shouldnt give the elephant a green hat. An elephant has its own dignity too, okay?
Leita furrowed his brows and exined, This little elephant isnt Marks child. He was born a year ago. His parents were two other elephants. A year ago, a volunteer captured the poachers ruthlessly killing the elephants parents with a camera. He watched his parents get killed in front of him and how their tusks were chopped off. However, there was nothing he could do. But because he was too young, he was saved from the ughter.
Those poachers didnt let him go because he was young. Lin Yueqis eyes turned watery and she choked out the truth, They just want to wait for the little elephant to grow up and grow its tusk. Then, plunder it. Those scumbags. Theyre humans. Dont they have hearts? Dont they have feelings?
If they had hearts, those elephants wouldnt be wandering around and lost their families. Leita eximed and continued, Mark and his wife adopted this little elephant. He barged into the campground and attacked us probably because it thought we robbed the little elephant, so it wanted to take revenge on us. The elephant has a pretty good memory and they have feelings just like humans. Mark had watched his parents and brothers get hunted when he was young. After he grew up, he watched as his wife and children were hunted tooAfter losing his family, his only adopted son had gotten separated from him too. Needless to say, he was clearly on the verge of falling apart.
Lu Ting brought up a crucial point. He furrowed his brows and asked, Maybe Mark had gone against the poachers before?
Could poachers be nearby? Lin Yueqi asked.
Chapter 227 - Shoot (3)
Very likely. Leita took out hismunication device and discussed with the director, even reporting their exact locations.
After receiving the news, the director obtained contact with respective departments. They were on the helicopter, on the way here.
After finding Mark and bringing him to the fixed location, their mission was consideredplete. There was nothing else they could do by then.
Look there! Zhou Qing suddenly eximed and pointed at the east side of the forest.
They looked over to see tons of people standing there that originally werent there. There were even people crouching on the trees and hiding behind the bushes, pointing their guns at Mark and the little elephant.
Leita picked up the binocrs that he had on his waist and looked over. After observing, he eximed, Theyre poachers. So damn coincidental!
They clearly have been after Mark and his adopted son for a really long time. I bet they must have something to do with Mark getting separated from the little elephant. Lin Yueqi grabbed Lu Tings shoulders tightly. Her palm was full of sweat and she was nervous.
We cant let them shoot Mark! They have arge quantity of sedatives in their bullets. Itll hurt Mark a lot! Leita furrowed his brows. He was aggressive from the start. Picking up his gun, he aimed it at the poachers.
The other mercenaries also lifted their guns and locked their sights on the other side through telescopic sight.
They had fifteen people. Clearly, they didnt have enough people to fight head on. But they had advantage of the geography and the dense trees as cover. The other party couldnt see them.
Lu Ting grabbed the binocrs and observed the other party. Then he pushed Leitas gun down and eximed, Dont be reckless. If you shoot, youll expose our location easily. Do you see the guy crouching on the tree? Lets shoot him down and cause them to panic and let Mark know about our existence.
Shoot?
Lin Yueqi was confused when Huang Hai brought the bow and arrow over.
Due to the chaos at the campground earlier, the guests didnt have guns. The only thing that could protect them and was a long-range weapon was the bow and arrow. Huang Hai left the campground with nothing but bow and arrows. He was thinking that if the elephant had caught up to him, hed shoot them with arrows.
But he didnt know how to use bow and arrows
In order to not get in the way of Lu Ting, Lin Yueqi climbed to the other side and got on the ground like the rest.
Lu Ting was half kneeled on the ground. He pulled the bow into a full arc and aimed it at the poacher on the tree whose gun was pointed at Mark. Because they were a bit too far, Lu Ting wasnt certain he could get the shot. Huang Hai only got one arrow as well. If he didnt get him in one shot, it was really likely that Mark might be attacked by the poachers.
Everyone held their breaths and watched Lu Ting. Sweat had covered his forehead and the atmosphere was really tense and anxious.
Whoosh. The arrow left the bow and flew. However, they all overestimated the arrow Lin Yueqi made. It had a short range so it didnt hit the poacher. Instead, itnded on the little elephants feet.
The little elephant cried in pain. Mark turned to see the group of poachers. Disregarding how boiling the fire was in the bonfire, it hurdled a bunch of wood in the direction of the poachers.
Marks trunk suffered from the pain but it seemed like he didnt know what pain was. He then whipped the little elephants butt with its trunk as if urging him to run away.
The two elephants ran into the forest.
The woodnded on the poachers causing their clothes to be on fire. In order to put out the fire, they missed the good opportunity to hunt down the elephants. However, Mark still got shot by the sedative.
Everyone present as well as the online users in the live-broadcast room was shocked by how human-like the elephant was towards self-defense.
Chapter 228 - [Food Becomes Vomit] Punishment (1)
Ch.228 [Food Bes Vomit] Punishment(1)
The online users were watching the live-broadcast room intently, afraid that theirments might disturb the people within the live-broadcast. They all held their breaths, not daring to do anything.
The scene where Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting were almost trampled to death by the elephant wasnt captured. But through the conversation, the online users still found out about Lin Yueqi and Lu Tings dangerous moments.
The camera captured Mark hurdling the wood and flinging it at the poacher. Through the screen, the online users could still feel the scorching pain.
The online users all united.
I feel bad for Mark! Mark, you got this! Little elephant, you got this!
I feel so bad for Mark. He must be in a lot of pain. Elephants have a gentle nature but as a father, he must be tough for his child. Through this, we can see just how emotional the animals are. As a human, I feel ashamed.
I think Mark got shot! Ahhhhh, why arent the people from the respective department here yet? Leita, carry your gun and rush over! Dont be a coward! Just do it!
They cant fight head on. They barely have any people and the other party has a dozen people. They also have weapons and are sneaky bastards within the forest. If the people from the show rush over, theyre basically going to meet their doom okay! The mercenaries responsibility is to protect the guests, not Mark and the little elephant. If someone like Lu Ting gets in trouble abroadthe consequences are unbearable to think about.
As for Lin Yueqi and Li Murou, theyre both well-known people in the country. Though I dont like Li Murou, I hope shes fine and doesnt get in trouble abroad.
Oh my. Im so nervous. I feel like crying. Theres nothing I can do for them. Mark, you got this! QiTing Couple, you guys got this! Go! Nevermind, dont go. Its better to protect yourselves. I pray that Mark will be fine.
Am I the only one that noticedLi Murou was gone? Shouldnt she be with the group? Where did she go?
When the campground was in chaos, Li Murou and Lin Yueqi were together. But Lin Yueqi almost got trampled to death. What happened during this time period? Did Li Murou just refuse to save her?
Person above, dont joke around. Dont criticize someone under the name of morality okay? During a dangerous situation, can you go and save someone at all costs when you cant even guarantee your own safety? In this situation, an ordinary person wouldve been scared to death. Who has the time to save someone else?
Lu Ting disregarded everything to save Lin Yueqi. This is true loveAm I looking at some emotional and lovey-dovey documentary? Theyre clearly truly in love with each other. Theyre using their lives to feed us dog food. Meanwhile, I dont mind and am willing to be fed dog food.
I hope the couple is fine. I hope Mark and the little elephant are fine too!
The bullet screen contained people praying.
Tuantuan and Jiang Mucheng stared at the image in the projection. They all rubbed their teary eyes.
Tuantuan pursed her lips and eximed, her voice with a crying tone, Old Cheng, do you think Brother Ting and Qiqi are injured? Im so worried for themIf QiTing couple gets in an ident, this chubby little bun doesnt want to live anymore. Sniffle
Chubby little bun was a nickname the online users made for her. She had been online a lot for the past few days so she addressed herself with that name. She thought it had a lot of imposing manners. The online users called Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting QiTing Couple so she also followed along. Even more, she didnt find any issues with the nicknames the online users came up with for the family of three. The nickname was pretty smooth.
Jiang Mucheng sniffled and eximed in a sorrowful tone, No, Little ck promised me that he wouldnt let them get injured. He wont let Mark and the little elephant get hurt either.
[Revenge Script] systems voice rang inside her ears.
When did I say that? Miss Jiang, please. Youre the one that had been forcing me to save them okay! Youre forcing me into doing your deeds. Doesnt your conscience hurt? Im just a revenge script system. I want my face okay! Please. Let me get my revenge.
Jiang Mucheng continued to ignore the [Revenge Script] systems voice.
She didnt know why she chose to ignore the systems words. It was as if there was a voice inside her telling her not to trust the system. The voice felt like hers but also Lin Yueqis and also her grandmother and the little chubby bunIt sounded like all her friends.
Jiang Mucheng thought about a lot of things. Her mind was nk for half an hour before she finally allowed Litlte ck back in. She wrote: Poachers will get their own consequences.
Chapter 229 - [Food Becomes Vomit] Punishment (2)
Ch.229 [Food Bes Vomit] Punishment(2)
Mark tossed the wood at the poachers causing their clothes to be on fire.
By the time they got rid of the fire, Mark and the little elephant were gone. The poachers cursed for a bit then packed everything up, getting ready to enter the forest to go after Mark and the little elephant again.
The poachers left for a while and then the group finally dared to reveal themselves.
Lin Yueqi sighed heavily and said, We cant let them catch Mark. He got shot so he probably wouldnt be able to run far. His location changed. We need to help the safety organization confirm Marks location. Only then can we promise his safety. The little elephant has watched his parents being ruthlessly killed already. If he has to watch his adoptive father get murdered too, who knows how painful itd be for him?We have to help him.
Leita hesitated before saying, No, I need to make sure youre safe and dont encounter any danger. My goal is to protect you guys. Plus, your goal is to track the elephants location not to die.
Zhou Qing was silent for a moment before saying, I want to rescue them.
Huang Hui also lifted his hand weakly. II also want to.
Me too.
Lin Yueqi thought of the poachers weapons and felt a bit apprehensive. She did want to survive, survive healthily. However, she didnt have the heart to watch as Mark and the little elephant with such human nature were ruthlessly murdered.
Innature, although the strongest animal was crowned king, the weakest were eliminated. But towards these protected animals, they shouldnt be cruelly and illegally hunted.
She wore a determined and stubborn gaze. Those people are hunting Mark because they want money, no? Ill give them money. Ill give them however much money they want. Even if I be bankrupt, its fine. I have millions in savings as well as a few houses. I can get some money from selling the houses. Kidnappers are willing to let go of their hostages once they receive the money so I believe theyll let the elephants go once they get their money. Were not in a desperate situation yet. Were really not going to try and escape them?
Everyone sunk into silence.
Lin Yueqi swallowed her saliva and turned to look at Lu Ting. Father Lu, if something happens to me, I hand the little chubby bun to you. Dont pamper her too much or feed her too much meat. Shes too fat and is overly nourished. She even started puberty earlier than other children. Thats not good. You have to be harsh.
Lu Ting was speechless.
Zhou Qing touched his nose and eximed in a soft voice, Shes already saying her will? Sister Qi, were not going to die. Were going to save the elephants.
Leita hesitated for a good while before nodding. Okay, then well do our best. But remember not to face them head on. We have to learn to evaluate the situation. Cameraman, you dont need to go. If something really happens, itd be hard for you to escape carrying such heavy equipment.
They made up their minds and then returned to their messy campground, picking up all the tools they could possibly use.
Lin Yueqi had sprained her feet. After resting for a while, her feet didnt hurt as much so she could start walking. In order to prevent people from seeing her bruise, she even pulled her pants down a bit and tucked the pant legs into her socks.
After that, she pulled the arrow Lu Ting had shot earlier out of the ground. Then she continued to go to the tents that had been trampled over by the elephants and rummaged, finding some packages.
These packages contained some food which could save their lives during crucial moments. They mustnt lose the packages.
They couldnt use the tents anymore. Everyone grabbed the sleeping bags and ced them away.
When they were done cleaning up and were about to go, someone asked, Wheres Murou?
Everyone looked at each other as if they had forgotten about her existence. They were getting ready to go when they remembered her.
I think what happened earlier mustve been too chaotic so she went to hide in the forest. She should be back soon. The cameraman can stay at the campground. Dont leave. Lets go. She should being back. Zhou Qing paused before ordering the cameramans, If she still isnt back by 3pm, contact the headquarters and arrange a few helicopters to save her.
After arranging the campground, Zhou Qing, Huang Hai, Leita, as well as Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting entered the forest again to search for Mark.
Mark got shot by sedative and although the quantity wasnt enough to knock him out immediately, as time passed back, running caused his blood cirction to increase. This resulted in the sedative quickly expanding inside him.
Finally, Mark couldnt hold on anymore. He stumbled and then thumped and finally fell on the ground.
Chapter 230 - [Food Becomes Vomit] Punishment (3)
Ch.230 [Food Bes Vomit] Punishment(3)
Even as he fell, he still tried to keep his eyes open to pat the little elephants butt, indicating for him to leave quickly.
The little elephant ran around Mark in circles, tears sparkling in his eyes. He kept on linking his trunk to Marks.
The little elephant kept on pping his ears, anxiously. He didnt have the power to take Mark with him. He was really lost and desperate. He raised his trunk in the air and cried out in pain, the sorrowful noise expanding.
At the same time, Lin Yueqi pointed at the west and eximed, Over there! Theyre over there!
Everyone didnt dare to hesitate. They immediately ran to the west. When they arrived, Mark was already on the ground.
Mark was clearly really nervous upon seeing them. His helpless gaze turned vigorous and he did his past to pat the little elephant away.
As if to express his decision, the little elephant sat down and guarded Mark.
When Lin Yueqi was in America training, she learned tomunicate with elephants. The little elephant had no potential for attack. She slowly moved closer to him, attempting tofort him.
Lu Ting and Zhou Qing carefully examined Mark. After a bit, they came to the conclusion, Mark shouldnt be in danger with this amount of sedative injected in him. Thankfully, I have some emergency treatment medicine. Ill give him a shot. If its quick, he should be able to recover in forty-five minutes.
Everyone sighed when they heard that. Giving shots for elephants was a necessary skill they learned during training. It was to prevent emergencies. They thought that they wouldnt need to know this but they didnt expect this to happen.
After they gave Mark the injection, Leita sent Marks location to the respective departments again. They were quicklying over to take over from there.
In order to pursue Mark, they split into three teams and went in different directions.
One of the teams bumped into Li Murou.
She wanted to escape but a curly-haired man shot her with a sedative so she lost any ability to attack.
The leader kicked the man who shot at Li Murou and said angrily, Didnt you see that shes Chinese? Unless forced to, were not allowed to touch them. This is the rules!
The curly-haired man said softly, Boss, shes the cook from the [Natural Storm] program group. That night, I went to the program groups camp with Kohl to figure out the route and brought back a few bowls of soup. She made the soup. It seems like shes lost. Why dont we keep her with us? We can bring her along when we leave the forest and then drop her wherever we want to. What do you think?
There were all sorts of people within the program groups camp as well as many locals. It was rather chaotic. The bread and canned thick soup that Li Murou made was stolen by the poachers who pretended to be locals that night.
Thinking of the delicious thick soup, the leaders appetite had been awakened. He had people bring Li Murou back to camp.
After she woke up, she found out that she was in the enemys camp. She looked at these people in fear. Youwhat are you guys doing? Im a Chinese celebrity. What do you guys want from me?
The poacher with curly-hair brought her to the bonfire and then tossed two bloody pheasants. Li Murou was sshed in blood. She screamed out loud in fear, You guys are crazy! Im Chinese! You guys want to do something to me? The Chinese embassy wont let you guys go! You
The men didnt seem to like talking. She was ignored. The curly-haired man gave her a p and then kicked her. In a rude tone, Quickly cook. If you keep on spewing nonsense, Ill behead you.
She was unable to withstand the kick on her head. She fell back and her head hit the rock, feeling dizzy.
She then started to observe the busy men around camp.
Not far from her, she saw dozens of thick and long tusks. Each elephant had two tusks so it seemed like they took aroundsix elephants worth of tusks?
Li Murou wanted to continue to look around when the man kicked her again. He held the gun and pointed it at her, warning, Go and cook for us. Once were done with our things, well take you out of the forest. You can return to China. We wont kill you.
The locals here didnt dare to casually kill Chinese people. They didnt want to bring trouble upon themselves.
Li Murou knew that she shouldnt provoke these people so she got up and acted obedient.
They made their motive clear. She just needed to cook for them and nothing would happen.
[Poop-like Food] punishment for three hours already passed. She could make delicious food once again. Lin Yueqi had been crushed by the elephants so she didnt believe a dead person could produce intimacy points with Lu Ting.
Chapter 231 - [Food Becomes Vomit] Punishment (4)
Ch.231 [Food Bes Vomit] Punishment(4)
As long as the [Gourmet Food Deity] had no opponents, then her systems confidence would reach the peak again.
No one could withstand the attraction of optimized food done by the system. The poachers didnt treat her well but after eating her food, theyll respect and even tter her.
Thinking of this, Li Murou sat up and pulled her hair behind her ears, picking up the bloody pheasants.
The poacher with curly-hair looked at her as if she was a nutcase.
She was still smiling after being beaten up? Was she a mental patient?
Time passed moment by moment. The helicopter containing assistance finally arrived and they found the group.
The helicopter circled in the air for a while beforending not far from them.
Six armored people walked out of the helicopter then two more doctors.
The professional doctor inspected Mark and then said, Thankfully, you guys gave Mark his injection in time. Hes fine now. In about half an hour, the other volunteers will be here. We will stay to take care of Mark and the little elephant, and bring them back to the protected area.
They finally sighed a breath of relief.
The helicopter was going to fly back. The director had them go on this current helicopter. As for Li Murou and the cameraman, they needed to wait for the next one.
The little elephant walked over to Lin Yueqi when she was about to get on the helicopter. He lifted his trunk and nudged her butt. Lin Yueqi felt it was itchy. She turned and raised her palm, high-fiving him.
There was a lot of space in the helicopter. The seats were in two long rows so people could sit together. The noise wasnt loud, hence they didnt need to wear earplugs to drown out the noises.
Zhou Qing stared at Lin Yueqis ankle and eximed, Woah, Sister Qi, how did your feet suddenly be that swollen?
Lin Yueqi looked down to see her swollen ankle exposed.
After she sprained her feet, she was carried by Lu Ting for a while. She rested for about an hour or so and felt the pain fading away. She thought she was fine so she persisted and held on until they found Mark.
She didnt want to give Lu Ting any more trouble so she acted like she was fine. But now that she sat down and the pants got rolled up, revealing her ankle, Zhou Qing was able to see the swollen ankle right away.
It looked as if a snake was wrapped around her legs.
Lu Ting had been worried about Mark and the little elephant this afternoon and since Lin Yueqi hadnt said anything, he thought she was fine. He wanted to p himself seeing how swollen her ankles were now.
He immediately took out ointment from his bag and under everyones gazes, he ced Lin Yueqis feet on his thigh.
Lin Yueqi had to shift sideways. She looked at him saying, Old Lu, it actually doesnt hurt. I can walk and whatnot. ButI think when youre applying the ointment youah!!! Youre murdering the little buns mother!!
Lu Ting rubbed the ointment across his palm and covered her ankle, starting to massage firmly. He just started when the girl started screaming so loudly that it felt like the helicopters sound would be drowned out.
Lin Yueqis tears streamed down her face due to the pain after the massage and she kicked him in the face.
Lu Ting was speechless.
Everyone saw this and held in theirughs. Huang Hai secretly took out his phone and started to record the video. Maybe this could be the Easter Egg of the show?
Lin Yueqi realized that her feet had caused huge trouble. She immediately withdrew her feet and rubbed Lu Tings face with her hands. Old Lu, are you okay? Does it hurt? Let me rub it for you
Although she was doing this out of revenge, she felt happy inside feeling the refreshing feelinging from the ointment on her ankle.
The happier she was, the more she couldnt help but rub Lu Tings serious expression with her hands. She rubbed Lu Tings stiff face into aedians face.
She thought that Old Lu, who couldnt get angry at her despite feeling wronged, was extremely cute.
Everyone was speechless.
Lu Ting had no words either.
She was able to maintain an optimistic state despite being hurt. Even more, the little buns mother was having fun bullying him. He found her to becute.
At the poachers camping ground, Li Murou distributed a bowl of chicken soup to everyone. They took a sip and started ttering her skills.
Even the curly-haired man treated her much more gently now.
Ding~~ The female and male lead were both attracted to each other once. You will now be punished with the food bing vomit and this punishmentsts for an hour.
Chapter 232 - We’re a Family, Aren’t We? (1)
Ch.232 Were a Family, Arent We?(1)
Ahhhh Li Murou finally couldnt hold it in anymore once she received the systems notification. She screamed, breaking down. After letting out her scream to vent anger, she felt much better.
Why? Why did this happen? Didnt Lin Yueqi die? Howe she and Lu Ting were still producing intimacy points?
She fell limp and her fingers gnawed at the ground. The mud seeped through her nails which made her cry in pain. However, the pain couldnt bepared to the pain Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting brought to her time after time.
Right now, she just realized that it wasnt just Lin Yueqi opposing her but also Lu Ting. The two ganged together to humiliate her, causing her to be defeated time after time.
Everyone was drinking the soup and enjoying the food. Quickly, they thought something was off with the soup. There was a sour and rotten scent. They looked down to see other things within the chicken soup.
When they fished out what was within the soup, they couldnt help but vomit. Sitting under the soup were some sour and rotten unknown substances. After taking a careful look, it seemed like peoples vomit.
Right now, they had forgotten about how tasty the soup was. They only recalled the disgusting vomit substances.
Li Murou saw them vomiting and immediately got up, wanting to escape.
The curly-haired man thought that Li Murou purposely calcted this after eating vomit. Under a fit of anger, he picked up a bonfire wood and struck her.
African men were extremely harsh. The bonfire wood which still had smoke steaming was struck against Lu Murou. Her pants were burned and she got on her knees, groaning in pain. She rolled around but she was unable to say anything. Her veins bulged and cold sweat drenched her.
In order to vent their anger, the African men started to kick and beat her up. She covered her head with her hands, tears streaming nonstop.
In order to minimize her pain, she curled up in a ball. She swore that shed make Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi pay the same tragic price.
The online users were extremely anxious seeing that the group nned on going to look for Mark and the little elephant. News of the African elephant reached the top of hot search.
#PleaseBeSafeMarkAndLittleElephant#
#AfricanPoachers#
Everyone was anxious seeing that the program group in [Natural Storm] had gotten into an ident. They saw the video and all spammedments.
QiTing Couple, you guys have to be safe. The brave five-man group, you guys have to be okay! You got this. Protect the elephants and your fans will protect you!
Qiqi is too sweet. When she said that shed pay for Mark and the little elephants freedom, I almost cried. Qiqi only has a few million? I thought that female celebrities like Qiqi should be really wealthy. Brother Ting doesnt give Qiqi allowance? QAQ
Dont you guys care about Li Murou? We dont know whether little sister Murou is alive or dead and yet you guys are ttering Lin Yueqi? Dont you guys feel disgusted? Lin Yueqi is just pretending to be poor. Heh. Celebrities get paid millions just from acting and shes saying she only has a few million in savings? Who believes that? She also has another sideline too. Whats the point of acting poor in this show? [rolls eyes].
Screw you. A few million and few houses is what we call poor now? Since when did we have such low standards? Qiqi was almost trampled to death and your fairy Murou didnt even bother looking back. She obviously went to hide. What? She was just going to wait to be trampled to death? The online users in this era are so stupid. Heh.
Holy crap! Go look at the shows official Weibo! Li Murou is missing! The group has already left and even the cameraman has been picked up. However, theres no sight of Li Murou!
The online users all went to look at the program groups official Weibo.
The program group had given an exnation in the live-broadcast and exined what was going on with the guests. Besides Li Murou, everyone else returned to camp.
Chapter 233 - We’re a Family, Aren’t We? (2)
Ch.233 Were a Family, Arent We?(2)
Li Murou had been missing for four hours. Drones as well as emergency helicopters had been looking for her in the forest.
The users all exploded.This was probably the biggest incident within [Natural Storm]. There used to be people getting hurt and injured but this was the first time someone went missing.
The African forest was huge. There were lots of jackals and wolves as well as many ferocious beasts. It was hard to find a person.
7pm.
A famous director posted on Weibo.
Zhang Zhen:Murou, please return safely. Im still waiting on your food. [pray].
Underneath, a bunch of actors allmented and liked the post as if Li Murous disappearance was the biggest news within the entertainment industry.
The film emperor, Li Xiujie, also posted.
Li Xiujie:Please be safe[pray].
The fans exploded when they saw the film emperors post. #LiMurouPleaseBeSafe# became a hot search for some reason as a result.
Lixing didnt know whether to cry orugh. Li Xiujie wouldnt even give hi mface now?
Lixing originally nned a series of events so that Li Murou wouldnt be able to turn the tables around. But look now. He didnt even execute his n when Li Murous disappearance earned a lot of good opinion.
Li Murou was considered the weakling. If someone came to stomp on her, theyd definitely bebelled as immortal and someone that hit a person when they were down.
Lixing had to wait for another opportunity.
6pm. The sun slowly started to set and the sky was baked into a warm yellow color.
The helicopter slowly descended and Lin Yueqi leaned against Lu Tings shoulders. She was sleeping sweetly. Because the cabin of the ne wasnt steady, Lu Ting supported her forehead this entire time so that her head wouldnt fall down.
Up until the helicopter had died down did Lu Ting gently call her, Lin Yueqi?
She answered in a daze but didnt wake up. Lu Ting didnt have the heart to wake her up. He wanted to let her sleep more.
Leita, Zhou Qing, and Huang Hai got off the ne. They were about to call him when Lu Ting ced a finger by his lips, telling them to hush.
The three got off the ne, not daring to make too much noise.
Without the rumbling, Lin Yueqi finally rxed her brows and fell into deep slumber.
In order tofort the online users watching the live-broadcast, the cameras were brought over and the live-broadcasted the highlights.
Lin Yueqi used to be leaning on the mans shoulders but in order to position herself in afortable person, she smacked her lips and cushioned her head on the mans legs. Because his legs were more muscr than his shoulders, Lin Yueqi had a sweet dream.
She dreamed of herself lying on a soft bed and she sunk within. She had aforter as soft as the goose feathers. She had a steady and sweet sleep.
Dozens of minutester, the online users watching the live-broadcast finally saw a scene again.
They saw the messy-haired Lin Yueqi lying on Lu Tings thighs sleeping.
One of her pants was rolled up and they could clearly see her swollen ankle which had white ointment applied.
Lu Ting was wearing a camouge outfit and sitting there straight. His body upright like a soldier, unmoved.
In order to prevent Lin Yueqi from rolling over and slipping off his thigh, he used his left hand to hold onto her lower jaw. He seemed to be tired as well as his eyes were closed and trying to get some rest. He didnt seem as solemn and earnest as he did when he was wearing a suit but he appeared much more approachable now. The females watching this felt their hearts being stolen by him.
The bullet screen.
Ahhhhhh! Such a quiet yet sweet scene!
Although they both look quite battered, they are so in love with each other. I want to cry! What is this perfect match? Im ordering you guys to immediately get married right now!
Chapter 234 - We’re a Family, Aren’t We? (3)
Ch.234 Were a Family, Arent We?(3)
Ahh. How can they look so sweet when theyre sleeping? Quick! Brother Ting! Im ordering you to wake up Lin Yueqi right away! Purpose to her right now!
I! As a fan, Im ordering you guys to do something! Hug! French kiss! Lick each other! Sleep with each other!
The online users were about to faint from the sweetness. It seemed like there were too many bulletments and this woke up Lin Yueqi.
She rubbed her eyes and yawned. She nced at Lu Ting who had his eyes closed. She pinched his face. Old father Lu, were here!
Lu Ting slowly opened his eyes to look at her calmly.
She got up from Lu Tings thighs, not thinking that there was anything wrong. One needed to know that not only did they raise the little chubby bun together, they even experienced near death as well. Theyre brothers. No need to distinguish between the two that clearly.
If Lu Ting didnt even let her use his legs as cushion, then he was extremely stingy.
Lin Yueqi stood up and stretched. She was about to get off the helicopter when Lu Ting reached over and pushed her shoulders down, walking in front of her. He kneeled down and ordered, Get on.
Oh They were at the door so Lin Yueqi didnt bother being polite with him. After all, they werent in the forest nor were they surrounded by danger.
Lu Ting carried her and returned to the campgrounds as everyone watched them.
On the way back, Lin Yueqi looked around. After she was sure that there were no cameras on them, she patted his shoulders. Father Lu, Im not sure if I should say this.
Hm?
Will you believe me if I tell you? Would you think Im a white lotus?
Tell me.
Surname Li, she purposely put bugs on me when I was sleeping. I also think shes responsible for me falling when I was running from Mark. ButI wasnt sure if she purposely kicked the wood over or
Lu Ting furrowed his brows in a serious manner.
Lin Yueqi detected that. She immediately smoothened his brows and said, Dont wrinkle your brows. Im good. Its fine. I dont want to give you any negative energy.
In her dream, she dreamt of Li Murou framing her of touching drugs. She wanted to exin to Lu Ting that Li Murou had framed her but he didnt believe her.
In her dream, Li Murou was also the proprietress of Yanzi Cafeteria. She had fans globally and even the rich came to her cafeteria, begging for a meal. It was difficult. Lu Ting was also one of her fans.
At that time, Li Murou was also the best chef within China. Everyone gave her whatever she wanted in exchange for a meal.
In Lu Tings knowledge, Li Murou and Lin Yueqi didnt know each other. Lin Yueqi had too much negative energy and mood swings as well, always suspicious of everything. After careful investigation, Lu Ting chose to believe in Li Muru and scolded Lin Yueqi strongly for her extreme attitude.
He had no idea what methods Li Murou had used to suppress and frame Lin Yueqi. He had no idea that even though he had people investigate the situation, the evidence was prepared for him.
In the dream, Lin Yueqi felt wronged and upset. After she woke up, she felt the same feelings, her chest stuffed.
She told Lu Ting this because she wanted to see if hed act the same as he did in her dream.
She was prepared to be scolded by Lu Ting but he said, It seems like Ive guessed right. There is something off with her.
She was bewildered.
Lin Yueqi was still processing his words only to hear him continue, Lin Yueqi, from now on, I hope that if something simr happens again, youll tell me sooner so that we can discuss together. Were a family, no?
Yes.
Lin Yueqi quickly responded before realizing something was off.
Hold up. How are we family in any way? QAQ
Chapter 235 - My Heart’s Always With You. Don’t Be Jealous (1)
Ch.235 My Hearts Always With You. Dont Be Jealous(1)
I thought you would think of me as a white lotus. She muttered and then asked, Old Lu, why did you think there was something off with her? Did you dream of something too?
Dream? Lu Ting thought that she started to indulge in fantasy again, muttering nonsense. How could she rely on dreams? He eximed solemnly, I think theres something weird with ehr food.
Lin Yueqi wanted to say something else when Lu Ting interrupted and said, The girl probably has ulterior motives. You have to be careful. If something happens in the future, you have to tell me. Were a while away from the campground. If youre tired, you can sleep on my back for a bit.
Oh Lin Yueqi wasnt tired. She was just thinking about the blurry scenes within her dream.
There were many blurry things happening in her dream. Although she had forgotten a lot of the details, whenever she woke up, she could clearly remember a certain point. Just like the previous dream. She recalled her grievances and depression.
She didnt understand the rtionship between men and women. When she was young, she was focused on studying and hadnt had a crush on anyone before. She was quite curious. Did the dream her like Lu Ting? If she didnt like him, why did she care about whether he trusted her or not?
Because she was viewing the dream from a gods perspective, Lin Yueqi suddenly pitied the her in her dream.
She ced her arms over Lu Tings shoulders and sighed. Lu Ting, sometimes I think that life is really difficult. There used to be a person that cared about your trust but you didnt believe her at all. I dont care whether you trust me or not but you easily believed my words. This feels like satire.
Lu Ting thought that the former person she was talking about was an insignificant person. He furrowed his brows and eximed seriously, I have principles. I wont easily trust a person. I believe in my eyes as well as the evidence I have.
But have you thought of this? Evidence can be deceiving. Have you watched pce dramas? Men are all yers and theyre unable to distinguish a b****. Lin Yueqi paused before sighing. Nevermind. Standing from a bystanders perspective, she also contributed to the problem. Its not just your fault. After all, youre just an ordinary person. Why would you believe that theres actually a deity in the world bullying humans?
Lu Ting had no idea what she was talking about. He thought that she was trying to brainwash him again with concepts like golden finger and alien.
He thought that it was unfortunate Lin Yueqi didnt work to be a writer. Its a waste of talent being an actress.
Returning to the campground, Lu Ting helped grab an outfit from Lin Yueqis luggage and ced that as well as other daily items in a bin.
They had been in the forest for the past half a month or so, so they hadnt gotten to take a good shower. At most, they wiped themselves with warm towels. They could finally take a good and rxed shower with warm water to wash themselves now.
After showering, Lin Yueqi changed into a ck casual outfit which included long sleeves and pants. She brushed her wet hair and then kept it scattered behind her shoulders. Because she was afraid of the cold, she ced the towel over her head and then sat in front of the campgrounds bonfire to warm up.
Zhou Qing and Leita were talking to each other. Lin Yueqi suddenly sat next to them with a towel over her head, scaring the two men. They almost thought she was a headless female ghost.
Looking again, they realized it was Lin Yueqi. They sighed again.
Lin Yueqie peered at them, seeing how flustered they were. She brought her hand to the bonfire and said, Why are you guys acting like this? Havent you guys seen your Sister Qis extraordinary beauty?
Zhou Qing coughed and asked, Sister Qi, wheres Brother Ting?
Showering, what? Do you need something? Lin Yueqi pulled the towel off her head. While drying her hair, she asked, Are there news in the forest? Are the poachers caught?
Zhou Qing replied, Its Murou. The drones captured the poachers location. The local government has sent people to arrest them. They found a lot of tusks in their campground as well as Murou. Shes on the helicopter back home now. Apparently, she was beaten up pretty badly. Im not sure whether her injury is serious or not.
Lin Yueqi didnt care about Li Murou. She only cared about the poachers.
Speak of the devil and the devil shalle.
Li Murou entered the campground under the staff members escort and she entered her tent.
After the campground doctor checked over her injuries, the director, Zhou Yuhuai sighed in relief.
He nced at the girl lying in bed and felt his heart aching for her. Thankfully, she didnt suffer huge injuries nor did she have any bone fractures. It was just some minor injuries.
Chapter 236 - My Heart’s Always With You. Don’t Be Jealous (2)
Ch.236 My Hearts Always With You. Dont Be Jealous(2)
Zhou Yuhuai wrinkled his brows. He didnt ask her what happened to hertely. Howe things kept going wrong when she was cooking in the forest? How did she get lost with the group and identally enter the poachers campground? Even more, how did she be like this?
Before he could say anything, Li Murou started crying first.
Zhou Yuhuai had known her for so long and had never seen her cry before. In his heart, she was an extremely strong woman. Even when they encountered andslide while exploring the deep forest back then, she was able to keep calm.
Zhou Yuhaui didnt dare to question her. He softlyforted, Murou, dont be too upset. Arent you safely back now? Those poachers have been captured as well. Dont worry. Theyll definitely pay for the price!
I want to go home. Li Murou looked at him with her watery eyes.
Truth proved that once a beautiful girl who didnt really act cute started to do so, the majority of men were all unable to withstand her delicateness. Zhou Yuhuai nodded. Ive already booked the ne ticket. You guys are leaving the day after tomorrow.
Li Murou looked at Zhou Yuhuai and wiped her tears, her eyes still red though. She said, Old Zhou, you know that Ive encountered incidents the two times I entered the forest to cook. You know my cooking. I dont know why the roasted wild rabbit has such a stinky smell. Old Zhou, it wont look good if these two incidents are broadcasted right? Can you have the staff members edit those parts out?
Sorry, Murou. Its not that I dont want to help you but He paused before continuing, What happened within the forest has been live-broadcasted. Theres no way to edit it. Plus, before you asked me, Mr. Lu has already eximed that everyone put in their best effort to record the show. He hoped that after editing has beenpleted in theter stages, his assistant can personally look over it.
What? Li Murou didnt think that what happened all these days had been live-broadcasted.
She thought that all the recordings captured would be edited afterwards. Live-broadcastdidnt that mean that everyone knew about the embarrassing series of events?
Li Murou didnt need to go online to imagine the reign of terror.
It took her a while to calm down and finally ept the reality. After Zhou Yuhuai left the tent, shey in bed and scrolled through Weibo.
Thankfully. The director, Zhang Zhen and the film emperor, Li Xiujie had spoken out for her. Even more, due to her disappearance, the users all sympathized with her. In order to save her reputation, she struck the iron while it was hot and posted a selfie.
Li Murou:Thanks for all the concern. I am fine now. One of the poachers in the forest had pretended to be a local and snuck into our program groups campground and ate the food I cooked. As a result, after I got lost with my group, they captured me back to their base so that I could cook for them. I only suffered minor injuries. I dont have any bone fractures nor was I disfigured. Im quite lucky [cover face and cry]. In order to express my gratitude, I n on opening the Yanzi Cafeteria to the public for a certain period of time after I return. You guys dont need to make reservations anymore. At the same time, you guys can try out the Golden Soup I learned to make. Please support me! [Picture]
The picture was of her selfie. She was beaten up, bruises on her face but she was still smiling happily.
The film emperor, Li Xiujie, and the director, Zhang Zhen almost immediately liked andmented on her post.
Zhang Zhen:Chef Li, youre quite optimistic. But it makes sense. If youre not in a good mood, how can you make such delicious food?
Li Xiujie: [fighting expression]
The fans allmented:
Ahhhhhh. My little fairy is fine! Thats great! Youre too optimistic! Youre actually still able to smile after being illegally kidnapped? Little sister, you got this. Im looking forward to your return. Ill definitely go to try your Golden Soup!
Little sister Murou is a healing angel! Shes seriously injured and yet shes saying that shes fine. QAQ. You have to take care of yourself. Well all be supporting you!
Uham I the only one that thinks shes being fake? Shes purposely taking this picture so others can see and gain sympathy? Plus, you really dare to open your restaurant and cook food for everyone? Weve seen your disgusting cuisine. No one probably even dares to eat your food. Right? Hahaha.
Chapter 237 - My Heart’s Always With You. Don’t Be Jealous (3)
Ch.237 My Hearts Always With You. Dont Be Jealous(3)
Person above, youre quite the clown. If little sister Murou doesnt have the capability, why would she make that post? Its normal for there to be idents in the forest. The wild rabbit became stinky? Its not Murous cooking. It clearly has to do with the quality of the meat. Who knows if the rabbit had eaten something to make itself stinky right before dying? Heh
+1. If Murou has no ability, why would the film emperor and Director Zhang support her? You guys know better than anyone the type of person film emperor Li is.
Theres nothing to argue here. We can talk about it after we all have a taste of her food.
Anti-fan, scram. Little sister just nearly escaped death. You dare to say something like this? Do you have a conscience? Are you still Chinese?
Li Murous motive was to save her reputation in peoples hearts with her food. The ident in the forest was due to Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting interacting with each other. When she returned, shed pick a time when Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting werent together to cook and greet the guests.
After all, one of them was a celebrity while the other was a businessman. There was no way theyd be together 24/7. Even more, from what she knew, there were some internal problems within the Qiancheng Group. Lu Ting would be extremely busy once he returns.
She didnt ask for much. She just hoped that there wouldnt be any idents after she returned so that she could turn the tables around.
It was 1am. Because dinner at the camping ground was difficult to eat, Lin Yueqi was unable to fall asleep, rolling around in bed.
Lin Yueqi crawled out of her sleeping bag when she heard no movements outside the tent. She poked Lu Tings neck and called him softly, Old Lu, Old Lu.
Lu Ting furrowed his brows and rolled over.
Seeing that he wasnt awake, she sneakily made her way out of the sleeping bag and got out of bed. Then she carefully walked to the corner of the tent and took out thest bucket of instant noodles from the doubleyered luggage as well as thest sausage.
She had put this in her luggage secretly behind Lu Tings back before she went to the forest. She had foresight. She knew that aftering back, shed desire delicious food so she secretly hid this.
She grabbed the bucket of instant noodles and sneakily walked to the kitchen and boiled a pot of boiling hot water. Then she made herself pickled vegetables and beef instant noodles. With the sausage along, it was perfect.
She started the fire by the bonfire again and then ced the instant noodles on the rock, waiting for the noodles to soften.
While waiting for the noodles to boil, she went to the kitchen to grab two potatoes, chopping them into thinyers. She then put them on bamboo sticks and then they became potato pieces.
When she came back with the inserted potato pieces on the sticks, she saw Lu Ting sitting in front of the bonfire pilfering her instant noodles!
Lin Yueqi couldnt tolerate this anymore so she yelled in a low voice, Lu Ting!
The man ced the bowl of instant noodles down and looked at her. Hm?
How can you eat my instant noodles?
Lu Ting delivered the bowl of instant noodles to her and eximed in a pitiful tone, I only drank the soup. If youre hungry, you can eat the rest.
Lin Yueqi looked inside. At least he still has a conscience and didnt finish the entire thing himself.
Waitthis was her instant noodles! Why was he acting like he was being generous and sharing his food?
She ced the stick in front of the bonfire and used the fire to roast it. Then she grabbed the instant noodles bowl from Lu Ting and started to wolf it down, afraid that if she missed anything, the man would steal it from her. She was halfway done when she heard the man say, I barely ate anything today.
Lin Yueqi asked, So?
Then can I have another sip of soup?
Lin Yueqi paused and looked at the man unbelievably.
Woah. She didnt expect the domineering chairman to ask her for a sip of soup. Was it the hardships or life or morality that perished?
me was zing in his eyes, sparkling and bright. Lin Yueqi recalled the time when he pounced over disregarding everything to try to block her from being trampled by the elephant. At this moment, her heart softened incredibly. Then she criticized herself for being stingy. She actually hid food from Father Lu, nning to eat it on her own.
Chapter 238 - My Heart’s Always With You. Don’t Be Jealous (4)
Ch.238 My Hearts Always With You. Dont Be Jealous(4)
She is inhumane! QAQ
Lin Yueqi looked down, seeing that Old Lu didnt me her in the least bit. She muttered in a low voice, Good Old Lu, Im sorry.
What are you sorry for?
I shouldnt have kept the food to myself She pushed the bowl of instant noodles to him and eximed, You can eat the rest. Ill roast some potatoes.
Lin Yueqi lifted the potatoes and was about to roast them just as Lu Ting was about to eat some noodles. He paused.
What was he doing? He should be a gentleman! He decided to tolerate his hunger this time. After all, the woman was the little buns mother. He couldnt just take advantage of her. Thinking of this, Lu Ting gave Lin Yueqi thest mouthful of noodles.
The girl didnt bother to be polite either, snarfing down thest mouthful of noodles.
As expected, Father Lu disdained her saliva. Hed rather endure hunger than to eat her saliva. If she knew, she wouldve offered him the food first so that he wouldnt starve.
She suddenly felt curious. What type of a woman would Father Lu marry in the future? A woman without saliva?
Or? He refused to French kiss his wife?
Three dayster, Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting said goodbye to Africa and returned to China.
The day they left Africa, they heard of something.
The fifteen poachers resisted strongly to the arrest. They inserted the sedatives inside them. Because the quantity was too much, three poachers died and although eight of them have been rescued, they had be idiots. As for the rest, they werent any better. The government felt bbergasted at their suicide attempt.
Some media said that this was revenge and the wild elephants dead souls made them crazy.
Mark and the little elephant were brought back to the protected area. The rescue organization arranged people to start the tusk removal surgery on Mark. They nned on removing it so that when he was returned to nature, poachers wouldnt have their eyes on him.
Around 4pm, their cars arrived at the vi. Lin Yu and Tuantuan were at the door waiting for them.
Lin Yueqi just got out of the car when the little chubby bun pounced at her like a steelyard weight. She hugged her thighs and eximed, Mommy, Tuantuan misses you a lot!
They hadnt seen each other for two months and Tuantuan had already grown up a bit. She seemed to be a bit skinnier as well. However, when Lin Yueqi wanted to carry her, she knew her thought was wrong.
Tuantuan was much steadier than before and when she carried her in her arms, she was as heavy as rocks. Lin Yueqi couldnt hold her for long and hurriedly shoved the little bun to Lu Ting who got out of the car after her.
Tuantuan hugged Lu Tings neck and pursed her lips at Lin Yueqi. Mommy, dont you think youre being too half-hearted. The little chubby bun patted her round tummy and said, Ive been worried for you day and night that I ended up bing fat.
Lin Yueqi looked at her and asked, Are you sure you hadnt gained weight from eating meat all the time?
Tuantuan replied, Wah, mommy, do you know about the hardships in life? My life is already difficult so stop exposing the truth okay?
Lin Yueqi mimicked her tone, Youre already really fat so stop finding excuses for yourself okay?
Tuantuan turned around and furrowed her brows, cupping Lu Ting with her chubby hands. With a serious face, she said, Daddy, tell me! Did you guys have another baby behind Tuantuans back? Howe mommy has been half-hearted towards me? Dont think that I dont know what you guys have been doing while I was sleeping. Hmph!
Lu Ting felt wronged. He wanted to do something but did he have the courage?
The second day, Lin Yueqi was forced to be on a schedule to lose weight. She exercised for four hours each day. Lu Ting hired a private trainer for her, not giving her any opportunity to rest.
Because little chubby bun was also obese, the doctor ordered for her to stop losing weight. Plus, Tuantuans early puberty wasnt beneficial towards her health. As a result, she was also forced to be on a diet. She couldnt eatvish meals.
In the two months that Lu Ting left the group, as expected, someone became restless. Just as the people within the departments thought that the chairman would change, they didnt expect that Lu Ting leaving the group was actually just bait.
Elder Lu suddenly appeared and steadied the situation. He sessfully kicked out the influential person within the group out.
Chapter 239 - My Heart’s Always With You. Don’t Be Jealous (5)
Ch.239 My Hearts Always With You. Dont Be Jealous(5)
The second day that he came back, Lu Ting returned to the group for aplete reform. They started adjusting the group on arge-scale and he was so busy everyday that he barely had time to visit his daughter.
Because Elder Lu had returned, Lu Ting didnt go to Lin Yueqis vi anymore either. Whenever he had time, he went back to stay with him.
Half a monthter, the hot topic of #YanziCafeteriaLiMurou# reached the top search.
Li Murou opened her Yanzi Cafeteria to the public. Every day, shed pick a time to make the Golden Soup for everyone. In the beginning, the majority of the online users came because they were curious as to what special additive she added to her food.
But after they had her food, they didnt think that she added any special additives.
If Li Murou was able to create such an additive, she was worthy of respect because the food was too tasty.
Li Murou was really smart. She had the online marketing team taste her food first then she would invite some influential figures alone. Half a monthter, she basically controlled everyones mouth.
Under this topic, many Weibo verified users praised and liked her post.
GossipyParrot:I originally wanted to see how disgusting Li Murous food tasted but I didnt thinkId be shocked! Golden Soup tastes great! Its the best soup Ive ever had. I dont know why Li Murou only made Golden Soup for the public. I heard from a friend within the circle that the people Li Murou personally invited were the most blessed. If an ordinary Golden Soup tastes that good, then I wonder how amazing the dishes shed whip up are. QAQ
HistoryExpert:Sorry to my fans. I originally went to taste the poison for you guys but I didnt think shes actually that amazing! I surrender to her cooking. If my fans are able to make reservations to Chef Lis dishes, please dont go alone. Please remember to bring me along.
Writer:Theyve taken my praises. If I continue to praise her, you guys would think I was bribed right? If you guys doubt her cooking, I advise you guys to try out her food. Try out Chef Lis Golden Soup.
These Weibo ounts had a lot of influence. If people say the former two had been bribed, it was quite possible. But thest ount was an impactful writer who had a strong reputation on Weibo.
Fansments:
Does it really taste that good? Could it be an advertisement? Fine. Ill take my children over to try it out soon.
My little sister Murous cooking is the best! I tried it out today. Really. Its shocking!
Sister Murou is a chef. How could her food not be tasty? What happened in the show was probably due to other idents.
My parents and I are nning to try it out tomorrow. Apparently, if you arrivete, youd have to wait up to six hours. Im not sure if thats urate.
Six hours? Heh. I waited eight hours yesterday but I got to eat it in the end. I thought it was worth it. Really. Amazing.
Lin Yueqi refreshed her Weibo to see Li Murou on the hot search. After all, she had the system golden finger. How could her food not be tasty?
At this time, Lu Ting called her. Do you have time tonight?
Im at home. Before I sessfully lose weight, I refuse to ept any business events. What? Youre treating me out? Your old man is willing to let you go?
Lu Ting had been at home with his old man for the past half a month. Even Tuantuan barely got to see him.
Old man wants me to bring you and Tuantuan home. Tonight. Lu Ting paused before continuing, He invited Li Murou over as chef tonight.
Her first response was, Really? Then Id get to enjoy delicious food!
Lu Ting was serious however. I cant really change the old mans mind. Beforeing tonight, have some food first. Dont eat that much at the dining table.
Father Lu, youre such a devil
Theres something else. Lu Ting hesitated before telling her, I dont know what methods Li Murou used to please the old man. He keeps on mentioning her in front of me for the past few days. Im worried that the old man might not treat you well tonight. You have to be prepared.
Before Lin Yueqi could respond with okay, he continued, Although she had been living in my house, I always acted like she was invisible. My heart is always with you. You dont need to be jealous.
Oh.
Lin Yueqi quickly responded out of habit before pping her mouth.
What was going on? When was she jealous?
Father Lu, are you dreaming about something?
Chapter 240 - Bad impression (1)
After the call with Lin Yueqi, Lu Ting put his phone back into his pocket, and corners of his lips couldnt help but turn upwards.
Seems like this woman may have a sharp mouth but a soft heart. She still likes him.
Lin Yueqi wasnt too fond of socializing, but the person she was going to meet was one of the richest men in the country, the chubby girls grandfather, so she could only grit her teeth and attend the dinner.
Since she had to pick up the chubby girl from school, Lin Yueqi carried a backpack that day. The chubby girl carried arge water bottle with her every day after school, as well as a bunch of other things, so it was more convenient to carry a backpack.
As usual, the school door opened within ten minutes of her arriving at the gates. The teacher came out with a parade of children, handing them over to their guardians one by one.
Lin Yueqi noticed that Tuantuans teacher was different.
This woman was very good-looking with very fair skin, and a tempered aura around her. This wasnt temperament that could be gained overnight but rather umted over time. It could be seen that she was a cultured woman.
The teacher pulled Tuantuan over to Lin Yueqi and smiled. Nice to meet you, Miss Lin. I am Lu Junyis ss teacher, Le Xiao. Her original teacher, Teacher Tang, was transferred to another school, so I will be taking over their ss from today on.
Nice to meet you, Teacher. I am Lu Junyis parent, Lin Yyueqi. Lin Yueqi shook hands with Le Xiao. She felt that she looked familiar as if shed seen her somewhere before.
Since she took Tuantuan from the teacher and got into her car, she was still thinking about it.
Tuantuan put her bag down and clutched her little yellow schoolbag tightly in her arms. Turning around to see her mother distracted, she asked, Mama, whatre you thinking about? Why are you the one picking me up today and not Granny? Isnt Mama worried about having photos taken by the paparazzi?
Lin Yueqi came back to her senses. Oh, Old Lu asked us to go over to his house for dinner today, then you can visit your great-grandpa as well.
Great-grandpa? that super nice-looking super rich guy? Tuantuan had seen the wealthy Mr. Lu on the and thought he was a kind and affable-looking old man. She had a very good impression of him since he first saw him.
Lin Yueqi, ?? The girl cant possibly have masochistic tendencies, right?
She actually thinks that the richest man in the country, Mr. Lu, was nice-looking? Lin Yueqi had seen interviews of him on the news and with her excellent intuition, she dares say that this old man was definitely not nice. He was upright and stern!
From the way Lu Ting spoke alone, she could tell how much he feared that old man. Even Lu Ting was scared of that old man, so how could he be nice?
Actually, she didnt care what the old man thought of her. She was worried that the old man would have a bad impression of chubby little Tuan because of her. After all, Tuantuan was a Lu family descendent and will have to inherit the household in the future, bing a matriarch. If the old man doesnt like her, then he may give up the position to someone else.
Lin Yueqi was worried, but Tuantuan didnt think it was a problem. She took Lin Yueqis hand and said in a soft voice, Mama, I think youre thinking too much. If Great Grandpa doesnt like Tuantuan, then he doesnt like me. Tuantuan is not renminbi, so if some people like Tuantuan, then there will definitely be others that dont like Tuantuan, right? So stop worrying, Mama. As long as Mama loves Tuantuan, then Tuantuan is happy.
Then, she curled her arms around Lin Yueqis neck in a hug, nuzzling her against her soft chest. Granny said that people cant be too greedy. Its enough that one person loves you in the world, no need to care about what other people think of you. Tuantuan used to think that only Granny and Mama loves Tuantuan, but only now does Tuantuan know that there are actually more people who love Tuantuan. Like Papa, Old Cheng, Uncle Li
As long as I have Mamas love, then Tuantuan can do without Great Grandpas big house. Why do I have to live in a big house? I like the old house in the vige, I like Granny, Mama, and Dahuang. I like to eat noodles under the grapevine. Tuantuan took her hand and pressed it on her chest. Inside here, no matter how big the house, its no match for Mama and Grannys little house.
Chapter 241 - Bad impression (2)
Probably due to her going to school, the little girl had learned to be able to express herself clearer.
Even though Lin Yueqi was only 17 years old mentally, after this period of time, she had long formed an indestructible bond with Tuantuan. Hearing her say this, her eyes started to feel hot.
It felt like nothing else mattered in this world other than the girl and her aunt.
The old Lu residence was located on Fenghuang Hill, and the gated area was equivalent to a small vi neighborhood. After entering the gates, she had to drive for a few minutes still before she could reach the front door.
Several of the Lu family home buildings were English-style buildings, leaning more towards the retro era. The exterior of the buildings was covered in traces of wear and tear, looking very dated.
After getting off the car, several maids came forward to take their bags from them. However, Tuantuan was clutching her little yellow backpack tight, unwilling to hand it off to anyone no matter what. After all, she had a gift for her great-grandpa inside.
Even though she never thought she would see her great-grandpa tonight, she would have to meet him one day, and she had prepared a gift just for that asion.
Lin Yueqi didnt feel good troubling someone else either, so she held onto her own bag.
As soon as the two of them entered the house, the first person they saw was Lu Ting dressed in a vested suit, standing by the doorway looking noble and reserved.
The man walked towards the mother and daughter and picked up Tuantuan. Then, with his other hand, he took the bag from Lin Yueqis hand and put it over his sturdy shoulder.
Bringing Lin Yueqi in, they came to face a hale and hearty old man sitting on the living room sofa.
Even though Old Lu was getting on in years, he was still dressed fashionably. He was wearing a D&M haute couture suit with a pair of thin-framed sses resting on the bridge of his nose. Even though the old mans face was wrinkled, he had a rosyplexion. He had a pair of stern eyes as he was a veteran in the business world after all. His aura was naturally not bad.
He was dressed as meticulously as he did on TV with a face just as stern.
When he saw Lin Yueqi enter, he immediately stood up. Youve arrived. Lets go to the dining room.
Old Lu walked at the front with Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting following closely behind.
When they were some distance away from Old Lu, Lin Yueqi nudged Lu Tings waist with her elbow and whispered, Your grandpa looks just like he does on TV. Scary.
Lu Ting handed the bag on his shoulder to a maid and raised a finger to his lips, signaling her to quiet it down.
The old man was a very strict and serious person. He did not like being talked about behind his back. Lu Tings straight personality was likely the result of the old mans education by the stick.
Lu Ting waited for the old man to be seated first before putting back a chair for Lin Yueqi.
Then, he put Tuantuan down as well. He helped Tuantuan take off her backpack and was just about to hand it over to a maid when Tuantuan caught it, saying, Papa, I still need my bag.
Hm?
Tuantuan pulled the bag back and put it on herp. She unzipped it and took out a folded drawing from inside. Like a treasure, she held it high above her head. Papa, look! This is my present to Great Grandpa! Tuantuan has been waiting for this day for a long time!
Lu Ting could hardly hold onto the little girl before she jumped off her seat and ran to Old Lu. She unfolded the piece of paper and showed it to Old Lu. Great Grandpa, look. This is Tuantuans gift. Do you like it?
Old Lu swept a quick nce at Lu Ting before withdrawing his gaze. He looked at Tuantuan and asked, Little girl, arent you afraid of me?
Hah? Arent you my great-grandpa?
Being asked a question in return caused the old man to freeze. He nodded. I am.
Tuantuan cocked her head to the side and smiled at him. If youre my great-grandpa, why should I be afraid? Great Grandpa, look! Do you like Tuantuans present?
On the drawing were five people. Even though the style was very childish, it was still easy to distinguish who was who.
Chapter 242 - Bad impression (3)
At the middle stood a stern-eyed old man with a long beard. Sitting cross-legged in front of the old man was a chubby girl. And, on either side of the old man were Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi, while Lin Yu stood to Lin Yueqis left.
She pointed towards the people on the paper and exined, Great Grandpa, youre the one with the beard, and this one is Tuantuan. This one is Papa, and the one in the dress is Mama. Also this one, you might not know her but dont worry, Tuantuan will introduce her to you! This is Tuantuans granny, shes a big beauty whos super good at cooking!
Lu Ting looked nervously at Tuantuan.
Lu Ting and Old Lu were the only people in the Lu family so the old man was very strict with his discipline. If he dared to behave like this when he was a child, then he would have gotten the cane.
How could Tuan Tuan, whose skin was so delicate, be able to withstand his education?
While Lu Ting was fretting over that, the old man reached over to pick up Tuan Tuan, putting her on hisp. The old man had a rare smile on his face and he praised her. Yes, Tuantuans drawing is very good. Tell Great Grandpa, whos your favorite person in this picture?
Tilting her head to the side, Tuantuan thought about it for a while. Everyone! Great Grandpa is cute just like Papa, so Tuantuan likes Great Grandpa very much!
The old man froze for a moment, but then he smiled brightly.
Tuantuan asked, Great Grandpa, can Tuantuan touch your beard? Its so cool! Tuantuans ssmates said that I wouldnt dare to pull on Great Grandpas beard, saying that Im just bragging about being brave.
Oh? They said that about you? Does that make you angry?
Yeah! But Im not angry. Even though Im not angry, I still want to touch Great Grandpas beard so I can bragter!
The straightforwardness of the girl was very convincing for the old man. He nodded. Sure. Great Grandpa will allow you to pull on my beard, then you can go and tell them. Great Grandpa loves his great-granddaughter Tuantuan so no need to brag. You can even pluck my beard clean if you want to.
Tuantuan stroked the old mans white beard with her meaty hand and said, No, Tuantuan wont pluck Great Grandpas beard. Itll hurt. If Great Grandpa hurts, Tuantuan will hurt too. Tuantuan doesnt want Grandpa to hurt.
Being coaxed by a sweet girl like her, even this old mans ice heart began to melt.
Right at this moment, Li Murou brought the maids in to serve up the food.
Even though Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting were together tonight, Li Murou knew the old mans character. Casual talk was not allowed at the dinner table, unless it was rted to work. Under such a harsh and tense environment, Li Murou believed that the two of them would not try anything flirty no matter what.
Every time a dish was served up, she would introduce it.
Tuantuan looked at Li Murou and reached out to wrap her arms around the old mans neck, pouting. Great Grandpa, why is she here?
Shes the chef that Great Grandpa hired. She came all the way here to cook for my good little great-granddaughter. Im sure youll love her food. Trust in your Great Grandpas judgment.
Tuantuan grumbled. But Great Grandpa, I dont like her. Everyone on the inte is saying shes Papas first love, but Papa said she doesnt know this aunty well at all. Great Grandpa, my Mama is still here, isnt it unfair for Mama if Great Grandpa tells that auntie toe as well? Look, my Mama is already getting jealous! She keeps making eyes at Papa.
Lin Yueqi who was trying to signal to Lu Ting with her eyes was caught red-handed and met with the gazes of both the old man and the girl with an awkward face.
She had drunk too much water and wanted to go to the toilet, but she was eating at someone elses house and didnt know their rules well. She didnt dare to get up to go to the toilet at all. So, she could only wink hard at Lu Ting.
Old Lu looked at Lin Yueqi and asked her straight on. Do you mind Murous presence here very much?
Lin Yueqi nodded her head hard.
She didnt hide it at all, nor could she be bothered to. This old man had wise eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. With her excellent intuition, she could tell that he was definitely nning something big.
A man like him couldnt possibly be unaware of the online gossip about Li Murou and his grandson. If Old Man Lu really wanted to set up his grandson and Li Murou, then there was no need to wait until she and Tuantuan appeared today.
Chapter 243 - Bad impression (4)
Even though Li Murous food was delicious, Old Lu had eaten countless delicacies in this world and was a well0known gourmand. In addition, he was also a businessman, so he understood matters even better.
Lin Yueqi did not believe that such a clear-cut old man would favor a person because of food and let that person be his granddaughter-inw.
While thinking that, she met Old Lus gaze straight on without the slightest hint of fear.
The two of them gazed at each other for a long time, but Lin Yueqi couldnt help but ask, Well, uhCan I go to the toilet?
Old Lu looked at the maid beside him and the maid immediately understood, leading Lin Yueqi to the toilet.
Lin Yueqis intuition was right.
This old man was a gourmand who was very picky about his food. Several days ago, Li Murou came back to the Lu residence to visit her father and cooked a meal for him, which he thought was amazing. However, he also kept his eye on the girls ideas. This girl grew up with a heavy sense of vanity. If she were simple-minded, then so be it, but she had never been so.
She was indeed a good cook, but the taste of the food she makes stops at just the mouth, never entering the heart. For an old man like him, it was too pompous, as if it was floating in the sky and never reaching the ground. This kind of pomp can attract the unstable hearts of young people, but it wasnt enough to tempt him.
The reason he let Li Murou stay at the Lu residence these days was because he valued the girls fame and culinary achievements. He wanted to test his grandson using the girl to see if he was sincere about the girls mother.
As it turned out, he could still resist the temptation.
After all, a beautiful woman who can cook was a great temptation for a young man. Back then, Lu Tings father also could not resist the temptation of cheating, ending up in a car ident with his lover. Lu Tings mother also died of anger from that incident. Since then, he raised Lu Ting to be a man who respects his wife and resists the temptations of pomp and circumstance.
If Lu Ting couldnt even resist Li Murous temptation, then he really didnt deserve to be Tuantuans father, much less be associated with Lin Yueqi.
In this year or so, the old man had often paid attention to the movements of the mother and daughter pair. He also often told his driver to head over to the kindergarten to watch Lin Yueqi pick her daughter up. Then, she would bring the chubby little girl to a snack shop to buy her treats, ice cream, or spicy strips. In short, both mother and daughter were gluttons.
He could see that Lin Yueqi was a very simple girl, and he also hoped Lu TIng wouldnt go the same way his father did, hurting an innocent girl because of it.
Of course, Lu Ting had no idea this was all going on. He was nervous the whole time at the dinner table, so much so that his palms were sweaty.
The old man not only held the little girl but even took the initiative to feed her. The old man was very abnormal from his usual self. Lu Ting was even wondering whether this was just the calm before a storm.
Once she finished eating, the chubby girl actually fell asleep in the arms of the old man.
Lu Ting, Girl, please wake up. This isnt the ce for you to sleep!
Lin Yueqi also looked confused and wondered whether her intuition was wrong.
This old man was clearly a nice old man!
Old Lu carried up Tuantuan and said quietly, Ill carry her to a room to rest. Lu Ting, bring Qiqi out to the back gardens, move your muscles a little.
Lu Ting nodded to the old man, epting his orders.
Once the old man left, Li Murou who was standing by the table and waiting on them throughout the meal, ?? Theyre off? Just like that?
She really couldnt believe it. The old man was actually pleasant the whole night long. He was even holding the girl the whole time. Shouldnt he say something about it?
These days, in addition to work, Li Murou had been serving the old man wholeheartedly, coaxing him into a happy mood. She had been waiting for this dinner to watch the old man split the couple apart, but what was this now?
The family ate their dinner happily together. But what about her? She was just like a maid waiting on them while they ate!
Chapter 244 - Bad impression (5)
After dinner, Lu Ting brought Lin Yueqi to the back gardens for a walk to help digest the food.
The Lu residence was located on a hill and there was an observation deck on the back gardens. From there, you could look up at the stars and also down at the flowers all around the ce.
Under themps, the flowers seemed to transform into other charming colors.
Lin Yueqi was at the observation deck, looking at the starry sky with the telescope. She had no idea how to use it, so with a silly, Lu Ting leaned over and adjusted the telescope for her.
The mans hands brushed past her shoulders, and when he leaned down, his chest would press against her back. Lin Yueqis spine turned stiff and she didnt dare to move anymore. She had the constant feeling that this position was weird.
Lu Tings lips were right by her ear. The weathers good today. The moonlight isnt blocking anything. Its a good day for stargazing. There, were done. If nothing happens tonight, you should be able to see Andromeda.
Lin Yueqi looked over and sure enough, he saw the stars in the milky way. Looking at the neb with her own eyes, she could see a hazy mist with lights and shadows. It was not as spectacr as she expected, but still very surprising.
She drew in a breath and in excitement, forgot that someone was behind her. As soon as she got up, she knocked onto the mans chin with her head, paining Lu Ting so much that he muffled a grunt.
Lu Ting, Miss Lin always had ways to retaliate against him.
Once again, he felt that he had no status in this household.
Lin Yueqi massaged the back of her head a little before giving his chin a rub as well, asking embarrassedly, Papa Lu, is your chin okay?
The man shook his head and sat down on the bench behind him. Unscrewing the cap of his bottled water, he took a sip.
Lin Yueqi also sat down next to him and turned over, asking, Papa Lu, do you think the old man likes her? Also, why did he have to invite us to dinner tonight? Did Li murou tell him something?
Its my birthday today.
Huh? Lin Yueqi thought she had heard wrong and asked again, Birthday? Wheres the cake? The candles? Theres nothing!
I never had cake again after my parents passed away. The only ones left in the Lu family are just me and the old man, neither of us were too interested in that. But we still have dinner together every year even if were busy.
Lin Yueqi noticed a trace of hurt sh across his face, so he coaxed him like a child, If you told me earlier that it was your birthday, then I could have prepared a gift for you.
She seemed to remember something and pulled out a pebble she picked up from the African jungle, clutching it tightly in her hand.
Old Lu, here, open your hands. I have a present for you.
She could understand how Lu Ting felt. He probably looked forward to having cake and birthdays. She seemed to be able to see that loneliness in this mans eyes.
Lu Ting, Huh?
He spread his hands open as she asked him to. He was curious as to what sort of present she had for him.
Lin Yueqi put the pebble down on his palms.
This pebble was very special. It looked like an irregr heart and was about the size of a thumb. It had aplicated and special pattern on it, and also carried with it the faint body heat of a girl.
Lin Yueqi said, This is a pebble I brought back from Africa. I like it a lot and Ive been carrying it as a lucky pebble. Now, its yours. Heres to hoping Papa Lu will have a happy birthday every year, also hoping Papa Lu will be more and more handsome, and be younger and younger.
She folded her hands with a sincere look of prayer, lowering her voice a little as she began to sing, Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you
The girls singing echoed in Lu Tings ears, softly like a shooting star through a gxy; magnificent, but brief.
She smiled and pped her hands together. Papa Lu, happy birthday!
Lu Ting couldnt remember thest time someone wished him a happy birthday.
Lin Yueqi smiled brightly and spread her arms open. Come here, Papa Lu. Give me a hug!
Lu Ting clutched the pebble in his palm. Before he could move, the girl had already taken the initiative to hug him. She patted Lu Tings back and said, Old Lu, Ill note down your birthday. Next year at this time, Ill make up for this year and give you a proper gift. Happy birthday, Old Lu. Youre the best best bestest dad in the whole world.
Chapter 245 - Bad impression (6)
Being hugged byforted by her, Lu Tingughed and asked, For you to hold me like this, can I take this as proof that you like me?
Lin Yueqi immediately let go of him and said with a blushing face, Old Lu, be reasonable. It was just a brotherly hug.
Before she could finish her words, the man leaned over and kissed down on her lips.
His lips covered over hers, the touch cool and soft, just like touching a piece of jelly.
Lin Yueqis eyes went wide and her heart was beating extremely fast. As she was fumbling over where to put her hands, Lu Ting took them in his own.
The mans palms were hot, and the temperature made her feel safe.
This was her second kiss with Old Lu in her memories. Last time was an ident so it didnt count, so this was her firstFirst kiss.
The meaning of this kiss was different fromst time. Lu Ting was the one taking the initiative. This ambiguous expression between man and woman wasShe could no longer think about any meaning in this kiss. Her mind waspletely nk
Just as she was about to push Lu Ting away, the man moved his lips away and hugged her tightly again.
Just like a child, he buried his face into the nook of her shoulder and spoke with his voice heavy with emotion, Dont push me away. Just take it as your gift to me, okay?
For some reason, Lin Yueqis heart hurt from hearing his request. She clutched at her chest and rubbed it. It felt stuffy and painful.
She seemed to be able to feel all the negative emotions feeling from Old Lu at the moment.
As if possessed, she reached out her hand and hugged him, patting his shoulder. Alright.
Lu Murou had fallen into a dead end. No matter how she tried, even through Old Lu, she couldnt separate the two of them.
She felt her head ache. She understood herself that if she didnt break them up soon, then sooner orter, she would suffer another attack from the system.
So far, she had been punished with things like eating shit, and eating vomit. She couldnt imagine having to bear such a heavy punishment merely with them developing some faint good feelings. What if they actually got together? How much would her system be attacked? And what kind of punishment would she have to suffer?
At that moment, she received a new punishment in her ear.
Ding ding~ The male and female lead kissed and embraced, generating 10 points of love. The system suffered a heavy attack, the system suffered a heavy attack. You are about to receive a new punishment. The system will randomly select 70% of people and tamper with their impression of Swallow Canteen. Their good impression of the food will change to like shit and vomit impression. if you want to reverse this, please break up the male and female leads as soon as possible~
The second the system prompt ended, Li Murous world fell apart.
At the same time, the people all over the country who had been picked and had eaten Li Murous food woke up from their nightmares.
The memories they had of the delicious food were tampered with, and they now remembered it as disgusting. They couldnt stand the nausea and began to gag.
Director Zhang Zhen was also one of those chosen. He was suddenly woken up from a nightmare and began heaving when he remembered Li Murous food.
After vomiting, he had the constant feeling that something was wrong, but he wasnt sure where. Looking through his blog, he felt as if he had been hit in the head.
Li Murous food had already cast a psychological shadow on his face. How could he have praised dark cuisine like that?
But why did he do that? He scratched his head. He couldnt remember why.
He deleted every single post about Li Murou and then looked through Film Emperor Li Xiujies ount, immediately giving him a phone call.
When the man received his call, he was very surprised. Frowning he said, Director Zhang, what are you talking about? I dont know why youre suddenly smearing Murou and I dont want to know. If you call me again to talk badly about Murou, then Im sorry but Ill just pretend I dont know you.
After saying that, he hung up.
It had been a long time since Li Xiujie went to Swallow Canteen. He immediately called Li Murous assistant and booked a slot for tomorrow afternoon.
Chapter 246 - Can we kiss? (1)
Lin Yueqi tossed and turned that night.
The little girl was sleeping between Lu Ting and her, sleeping soundly. She and Lu Ting were both wrapped together in a nket with their backs to each other, neither sleeping nor talking.
Lin Yueqi raised her hand to cover her lips as if she could still feel the residual warmth from him on them. She carefully recalled that feeling. It was like eating jelly, but a little more exciting.
Lu Ting let go very soon after kissing her.
As expected, this guy doesnt like her spit, right?
Thinking about that, Lin Yueqi knocked herself in the head.
What was she thinking about? Was that the main point here? Of course not! The main point is that Papa Lu actually kissed her. Even though it was just a quick peck, he took the initiative to kiss her.
So, what was Papa Lu trying to do? Trying to show affection? Pursuing her? Or kissing her before she tried to act coy with him?
These kinds of ideas kept popping into Lin Yueqis mind. It made her dizzy, but she didnt feel sleepy in the slightest. nket wrapped around her, she turned over and reached her hand across the chubby girl, tapping Lu Ting on the shoulder.
Lu Ting also turned over, meeting her gaze in the dark as if they could actually see each other.
Lin Yueqi was worried she would wake up Tuantuan, so she asked quietly, Lu Ting, do you like me?
Lu Ting almost choked on his own spit.
Was he not being obvious enough? After a moment of silence, he let out a light hum of affirmation from his throat.
After receiving this answer, Lin Yueqi thought, damn. Her teenage heart was actually thumping. Breathing out, she rubbed her chest and tried to get herself to calm down. Okay, go to sleep.
if there were any lights on at the moment, then Lu Ting would definitely be able to see her burning red cheeks.
After receiving an answer, Lin Yueqi quickly fell asleep, but Lu Ting was tossing and turning even more now.
So, what did that okay mean? Was that a yes or a no?
Who knows how long he stayed up for, but Lu Ting couldnt sleep at all. He turned on the bedsidemp and intended to go to the room next door to work for a while.
As soon as he got up, he saw Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan stirring at the same time, one big one small, exposing their bellies. Both of them had kicked their respective nkets to their feet.
Lu Ting sighed and went over to pull their pajamas down over their bellies, then pulled up their covers for them.
Watching both mother and daughter breathing with their mouths slightly open, it was so cute that his heart melted. In the end, Lu Ting could not resist leaning down to kiss Lin Yueqi on the lips and Tuantuan on the forehead.
Lin Yueqi who had been secretly kissed had a very special dream. Surprisingly, it was about Lu Ting during college.
Likewise, Lu Ting who was looking through news articles about Lin Yueqi in the study also recalled back to that time when he saw one article titled Lin Yueqi falling into -10 degrees water during shooting.
The memories had originally been a blur in his mind, but they suddenly became clear at this moment, all of it pouring out from a certain corner of his mind.
Inside the staggered lecture hall, Lin Yueqi was sitting on the very first row.
The old professor of the ss was a strict man who liked picking out students at the front to answer questions, so the first two rows were practically empty. This ss was a public elective fr them and the other departments.
Lin Yueqi thought that the first row would be empty like usual. Nobody would sit at the center on the first row other than her. But unexpectedly, Lu Ting walked in dressed in sportswear before the ss started.
He seemed to have just finished ying basketball and there was a red sweatband over his forehead, adding some testosterone-bursting handsomeness to him.
Holding two books in one hand and the other in his pocket, the girls sitting at the back all boiled over as soon as he entered the room.
Lu Ting scanned the ssroom from the door and finally walked to the first row, stopping next to Lin Yueqi. Can I sit here?
Lin Yueqi who was responding to WeChat messages immediately pushed her books to the empty seat beside her and nodded. Sure.
From beginning to end, the girls eyes never stopped on him for more than 3 seconds.
Lu Ting flipped open his books and heard the girl next to him talking on the phone.
Chapter 247 - Can we kiss? (2)
Please, Ah Hua. My aunt got sick recently and was hospitalized so I sent her my schrship money. Im penniless! You have to believe me, dont even mention being miss manners with my legs bare on a snow mountain, I, Lin Yueqi will never say a word even if you have me standing on a sea of fire!
The person on the phone finally agreed. After hanging up, Lin Yueqi breathed a long sigh of relief.
Lu Ting nced sideways at her.
Lu Ting had a bit of an impression of her since this girl was pretty, loved to study, and respected the professor.
Half a monthter, at the opening ceremony of Qiancheng za in Tianshui District.
The temperature was -10 degrees that day but this girl was wearing a qipao with high heels, baring her two legs and standing under the stage without moving a muscle. Even looking at her, Lu Ting could feel the cold, but this girl was tough. She grit her teeth and stood there motionless. The otherdies were all rubbing their hands or fidgeting. Only she was careful because she was afraid of losing this job.
Upon returning to the dormitory that night, Lu Ting overheard some people talking about her when he went to the toilet.
Student A, You know this years school flower, Lin Yueqi? That phoenix girl.
Student B, Yeah from the other department. Real damn pretty, shit. If I could sleep with her, thatd be a score for five whole years
Student C, Ew, isnt that dirty? I heard shes got a sugar daddy and shes got herpes. Smells terrible too. Shes been with countless guys
Lu Ting lifted his pants back up and went to the sink to wash his hands, locking the door as he left. Before leaving, he had deliberately carried out the maintenance sign and ced it by the door.
The three male students were locked in the toilet with no cell phone, and it happened to be winter. So, they just stayed there in the toilet for the whole night.
Rumors of her being a sugar baby, having diseases, and sleeping aroundThings like that were spread all throughout campus, but Lin Yueqi never seemed to care. Probably because he began paying attention to her, Lu Ting seemed to be able to spot her everywhere, every day. Because of how much he paid attention to her, he even felt that Lin Yueqi must be watching him too.
But in truth, the girl didnt even know what his name was. During ss, he would just refer to him as excuse me in order to borrow his pen.
Due to the Gourmet Chef Goddess system being attacked, Li Murou had been punished, causing 70% of the people who have eaten her food to have their good memories swapped into memories of her food tasting like shit and vomit.
This incident broke out at noon the next day.
First, aizen called Swallow My Ass made a post.
Swallow My Ass: I deleted all my posts praising Li Murou in the past. I must have had a stroke or something to think her food was good. To tell you the truth, she really isnt shit. I was probably just going with the flow. Afterwards, the more I think back to that taste, the more disgusting I feel. Its all nasty, all I can think about it tasting like is vomit. Enough of that, I wont say more. The food in Swallow Canteen is seriously shit so watch out. [cupped fists]
Swallow Canteen had been a popr topic recently, so this post quickly blew up.
Fansmented.
??Who offered you money? You talking out your ass?
Someone must have paid him off. How could he say something this brainless?
LOLOLOL Li Murou is canceled. I knew something wasnt right when everyone was praising her. Looks just like advertising, you know? Sure enough, I saw several others talking about how shit the food is at Swallow Canteen. Our Miss Li probably didnt have the funds to pay the sries of her paid reviews so they turned on her.
Poster above please have some virtue. Dontin when you havent even tasted her food before. Even the Film Emperor, Director Zhang, and the famous writer Audrey personally certifies that her cooking is good and youre still throwing shade? What reviewpany do you work for? Did Lin Yueqi hire you?
Recently Li Murous momentum is going up and Lin Yueqis is going down. Miss Li Murou is Lu Tings first love, so of course Lin Yueqi is unhappy
How is Li Murou Lu Tings first love? Can you stop spreading rumors like these? You guys act like stalkers that know everything about them.
Chapter 248 - Can we kiss? (3)
Stop arguing! Shes over! Zhang Zhen deleted all his posts about her. No idea if it has anything to do with Li Murou! Also, a lot of theizens who went to Swallow Canteen are iming that they had problems with her food. Yesterday, theizens who went to eat at Swallow Canteetn suddenly vomited when they were sleeping at night
Theizens all went to Zhang Zhens blog and discovered that he had indeed deleted all his posts about Li Murou and posted a new one.
Zhang Zhen V, I dont even know what the meaning of gourmet is anymore.
The topic, #Li Murous food phenomenal marketing scheme# was bumped to the top.
Many big names on the who went to eat at Swallow Canteen were all posting that Li Murous food wasnt good. As for why they said it was delicious in the first ce, none of them could give an urate answer.
That was because even they themselves did not know why they said her food was good back then.
Due to the immense power of the Gourmet Chef Goddess system, these people didnt even feel suspicious about the inconsistency of their experience at all. The fans on the sidelines on the other hand thought the reason they posted that was because they were paid to do so.
When public opinion about Swallow Canteens food erupted on the inte, passersby defined this copse as an unprecedentedly huge marketing scheme, and the most failed one at that.
So many human and material resources were put into it. Even famous directors like Zang Zhen and the Film Emperor were used, but for whatever reason, it led the paid armies to turn against her instead.
The public opinion online was a sight to see:
Hahahahahaha my god, I was wondering how good the food was but its just a marketing scheme? Is the world ending? What happened to the Film Emperors character setting?
I originally wanted to try out their food, but nowCompletely uninterested.
So Im curious, how much money did Li Murou send them for them to agree to send out the posts? Those marketing ounts arent cheap. Theres also the Film Emperor, the director, an authorDo these thingse cheap? Especially Film Emperor Li. He usually paid a lot of attention into maintaining his persona, but this time did he get hit on the head or something? Cant believe he epted such a low advertising job.
I knew Li Murou was buying reviews. God, now her paid army is biting back. So awkward hahahahahaha.
Film Emperor Li should be feeling even more awkward right now, shouldnt he? Li Murous image of hungry chef god copsed and he took on such a fucking low job. His persona ispletely ruined.
However high Li Murou reached, however low she dropped now. Her blog was filled with voices of dissent. Even Li Xiujies blog was filled with people scolding him.
The various marketing ounts have started to st out news of Li Murou relying on paid reviews to be famous, lying to her fans.
But Li Murou was still unaware of what was going on in the right now. She had just finished cooking for Li XIujie and personally served him a dish of roasted pork with pickled mustard greens.
Before making this dish, she had already inquired about LIn Yueqi and Lu Tings movements.
One of them went to the gym while the other went to apany meeting. Under such conditions, the two of them will not be able to see each other, so they couldnt raise any ambiguity points.
She was haunted byst nights kiss and still hadnt managed to adjust her mood till now, so her face looked unpleasant. Li Xiujie seemed to notice that she wasnt her usual self. Picking up some food with his chopsticks and putting it into his mouth, he asked, Murou, whats wrong with you? Whats bothering you?
With 70% of people being affected by the system, she couldnt imagine what sort of bloodshed was happening on the right now. She didnt dare to look at it, and didnt even dare to touch her phone.
Time and time again she failed. Now, she was putting all her hopes on Li Xiujie.
Fortunately, Li Xiujie still retained a good impression of her food. Right now at this moment, she was beginning to think that Li Xiujie wasnt any worse than Lu Ting. Even though his worth wasnt as high as Lu Ting, she wouldnt live a bad life if she married him in the future.
Thinking of this, she sighed. Nothing. Its just that I offended Lu Ting and he threatened to ruin my reputation, saying hell make it impossible for me to stay in the country. You should know too that Lu Ting has money and power. Its as easy as lifting his finger if he wants to get rid of me. Right now Im justscared. So scared.
Chapter 249 - Can we kiss? (4)
Li Xiujie remembered the phone call from Director Zhang and immediately frowned. No wonder Zhang Zhen said those words to me. So it was Lu Ting who pressured him? How did you offend him anyway? Could it be
His grandfather wanted to keep me in the Lu family but I refused. I didnt want to have anything to do with the Lu family anymore. I wanted to start my own business. That was the reason I offended Lu Ting.
The man lowered his head and had another bite of food, frowning deeply in silence for a long time.
He admitted that he had some feelings for Li Murou because of her rare talent in cooking. At this moment, he didnt think this was so bad.
He said, The Lu family is powerful and I cant fight with them. Murou, if you cant keep the Swallow Canteen open anymore, and if you dont mind, we could get married.
Li Murou had long guessed that this man had feelings for her, but she didnt expect him to be so direct. After freezing up for a moment, she acted surprised. You Then, she blushed and turned her head down.
Li Xiujie wanted to hide Li Murou so that she would only be able to cook for him. He wanted to taste the soup she made with her own hands when he was extremely tired.
Li Xiujie put his soup down and reached over to take her hand. Murou, even though we havent known each other for long, I appreciate your character and your food. I may not be able to leave your food again in this lifetime. Marry me.
Li Murou did not refuse. Blushing, she nodded.
In order to avoid tossing and turning in bed that night, Li Xiujie immediately took her to the Civil Affairs Bureau and obtained a marriage certificate in a hurry.
The staff who did the marriage procedures for them were shocked. The Film Emperor actually got married to inte celebrity Li Murou out of nowhere!!???
That afternoon, when Li Xing received Li Xiujies news, he was so shocked that he almost fell down the stairs.
At 35 years old, it was indeed the right time for Li Xiujie to get married. He had only received the Film Emperor award two years prior and won more than ten awards both domestically and internationally through a single moviest year. With the help of Li Xingspany, his value and ss kept on rising, turning him into one of the representative actors of Maind China.
Li Xing thought that Li Xiujie liked Li Murous food at the very best, and that was why he defended her in every way. But he never would have expected that Li Xiujie would actually be so muddle-headed as to marry this inte celebrity out of nowhere.
After bubbling up for two days, the Li Murou incident reached an all-time-high climax. Her persona copsed, which led to the copse of the persona that Li Xiujie had been building up for many years as well.
With how smoothly Li Xiujies career had been, it made hime across arrogant. But that didnt bother him. He could die without regrets as long as he could eat his darling wifes delicious food every day.
Li Xingspany was very demanding of its artists, and it was clear that the copse of Li XIujies persona was going to be bad for the future. Li Xing persuaded him time and time again but Li Xiujie remained stubborn. He even followed Li Murous pillow talk and terminated his contract with Jiachen Media.
Li Xing may have lost a talented actor, but he didnt make him stay.
After Li Xiujie terminated his contract, Li Xing also mobilized the marketing team which had been suppressed for a long time. Not only that, but Li Xings people also dug out Li Murous situation during her school days. But since he never found the opportunity, Li Xing kept it down until now.
Heavy bombs should be thrown at the most appropriate time in order to shake things up the most.
A retired teacher epted the medias real name interview, and she said in the video:
Oh, youre talking about that girl Li Rou? I know her. I have an especially deep impression of that girl. I was her ss teacher back then and the girl liked to fight, smoke, and also led a group of people to bully her ssmates. I asked her to call her parents over but the one who came was Mr. Lu. The principal received him personally. At that time, the teachers and students all thought she was his granddaughter!
After that, she became even more unruly in ss. During a more serious case, she even hit an English teacher. It was onlyter when the child went to high school that we learned that she wasnt from the Lu family at all, just the daughter of their chef. Shes a very vain girl and even bragged everywhere that Lu Ting was her boyfriend. She was asked to withdraw from high school since her grades were not good and her character was also bad. What kind of food could a girl like that cook?
Chapter 250 - Can we kiss? (5)
Another interview was conducted with a maid who had been working for the Lu family for thirty years. Her face was censored and her voice was changed.
Ive been working for the Lu family for 35 years and watched Young Master Lu and Rourou grow up. That girl Rourou really liked Little Lu, but when he went to school, he only cared about studying and would never even spare a single nce to a girl. When he was fifteen, we even joked about how he wouldnt even talk with such a beautiful girl like Rourou. About the dating discussions on the, its all just baseless rumors. Pure nonsense. As far as we know, Little Lu has only had one girlfriend, and that is Lin Yueqi.
These two videos sessfully set off another huge wave on the.
Combining the two videos together, theizens concluded:
Wow, the marketing queen really doesnt know her limits. She actually tried to leech off of Lu Ting? My god, what kind of sin has Lu Tingmitted for him to turn into your first love?
Seriously? Wow, so vain. Fighting, smoking, and drinking, shes just a bully. Now she thinks she can just turn her life around and act like a gourmet goddess? Amazing
Li Murous cooking is dog shit! Just thinking about it now makes me want to gag! WTF kind of stroke was I on back then to say I wanted to eat her food? And I actually finished the whole thing? Dont even ask me how disgusting her food tastes. Its like shit.
Commenter above arent you too cute? Describing it as shit is very appropriate right now. So hows it feel to eat shit?
Dont wanna see this woman jumping around anymore. Let her Swallow Canteen close down andpletely disappear from my sight.
YuckDid she seriously try andtch onto my QiLu CP? They didnt even do anything! Speaking of, its been a while since I heard any news about my QiLu CP, and also my fat TuanWhy arent they showing their love!
News about Li Murou was being posted out one after another.
Lin Yueqi had juste out of the gym when she received a text from Lu Ting. When she woke up that morning, Lu Ting had already gone to the office. After leaving the Lu residence, it had been a few days since she and Tuantuan saw Lu Ting.
Due to that sudden kiss that night, Lin Yueqi may act like she didnt mind, but she didnt really dare to look straight at Lu Ting.
While Tuantuan was having a video call with Lu Ting, she would make an excuse and walk away. Lu Ting was just about to talk to her when she disappeared. It was clear she was avoiding him.
Lu Ting had been given the cold shoulder for two days. He thought and thought about it but he still couldnt figure out why Lin Yueqi would avoid him.
They had already kissed, so they should be considered boyfriend and girlfriend now, right?
When he stated these thoughts to Li Xing with a straight face, Li Xing almost sent him flying with a kick.
Is he still human?
Li Xing grabbed his shoulders and shook him. Cant you be any less romantic? You kissed a girl and you think youre dating already? So what, if I confess my love to someone you think I can just go out and announce on my own that were getting married? Are you still human?
Lu Ting, He had apletely puzzled expression of where arent I human?
He had kissed her and hugged her, and she didnt push him away. Wasnt that a rification of their rtionship? Arent they already dating?
If Lin Yueqi were to know that this was how he thought, then she may not even have given him the chance and just pped him into the sky. ??
Right now, Li Xing really wanted to p him.
If he were Lu Tings girlfriend, heh. He wouldve broken up with him on their very first day of dating!
Li Xing immediately ordered some flowers, a pair of movie tickets, and a dinner for two for Lu Ting, even booking a hotel room for the two of them so they can enjoy themselves to their hearts content.
Not only that, Li Xing even wrote a dating progression timeline for him.
First, watch a movie, then go for dinner, have a drink, then go to a hotel when youre slightly tipsy.
Hm. Lu Ting didnt think anything was wrong with this, so he immediately sent a message to Lin Yueqi.
Chapter 251 - Can we kiss? (6)
While wiping her sweat, Lin Yueqi looked at her WeChat. She had the nagging feeling that something was off about this text. She actually didnt dislike Lu Tings feelings for her. At the very beginning, she had thought that Papa Lu was a good person, so she didnt want to deliberately turn anything around.
If Papa Lu likes her and she likes Papa Lu, then things couldnt be better. When Papa Lu proposed marriage to her, she was slightly resistant at first. However, after experiencing some things, she didnt think it was that terrifying to marry Papa Lu.
After all, he was such a gentle and lonely person. It wasnt impossible to marry him, but they had to be mutually in love, and marry because of it.
Lin Yueqi had never had a crush in neither middle school or high school. She waspletely focused on her studies. But now, she seems to have understood what it feels like for a young girl to fall in love with a boy. When she didnt see him, she would miss him, and when she saw him, her heart would thump.
She was beginning to wonder whether Papa Lu was serious when he said he liked her.
After all, in all the domineering president novels, the mysophobic presidents will all be cured after they meet the heroine they truly love, and from then on can only tolerate being close to them alone. Papa Lu was the ssic domineering president so he should not be an exception to that rule
But Papa Ludidnt like her saliva.
Lin Yueqi replied to Lu Ting on WeChat, Sure, see you at the cinema.
Lu Ting bought a ticket for 4 pm so that theyll be out at 6, just in time for dinner.
It was early autumn at the moment, and since it had just rained, the weather outside was slightly cold.
Lin Yueqi was first to arrive at the cinema and was waiting at the VIP lounge for Lu TIng to show up.
She wore a warm yellow sweater with ck sweatpants and white sneakers, as well as a pair of sunsses and a cap so that no one can recognize her in this ordinary cinema.
In fact, she had no idea why Lu Ting would buy a ticket to a normal cinema like this.
Dont all domineering presidents do things the special way? Like booking the whole venue?
At around three fifty, a man appeared with a bouquet of roses. Lin Yueqi almost thought she was seeing things. When the man came over and handed her the flowers, only then could she be sure that this was Papa Lu.
Wow, roses? Really? Lin Yueqi clearly didnt expect that Lu Ting actually had some romance genes in him.
She thought that Lu Ting wasnt the type of guy who would bother with flowers.
When Lu Ting heard the slightly off tone of her voice, he thought he didnt like things like these and immediately exined, Li Xing bought them.
Lin Yueqi, ??
Li Xing who was ying games in his office sneezed. ?? Old Lus date should be a sess, right?
The corners of Lin Yueqis mouth twitched but she didnt say anything. Instead, she asked, What are we watching today?
Lu Ting was silent. He put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a pair of tickets. Night of the Ghouls, a horror film.
This horror movie was one that Lin Yueqi had been wanting to see for a long time so she excitedly grabbed Lu Tings arms. Before she could respond, the man looked up to see the advertisement being yed on the screen and quickly rolled the tickets in his hands up into a ball. Raising his chin, he pointed towards the cartoon being advertised. We Bare Ducks, lets watch that one. You like that one.
Lin Yueqi, Li Xing bought the tickets too, didnt he?
Yeah. When Lu Ting saw that her expression didnt look too good, he immediately threw the me on him. That guy likes to take action without asking other people. No tact at all.
Oh Lin Yueqi hugged the roses tightly and rolled her eyes at the man while he wasnt looking.
Why did she feel the need to wring his ears right now?
After entering the room for We Bare Ducks, the couple movie-watching atmosphere waspletely nonexistent. All around them were filled with little children,pletely noisy.
Lin Yueqi couldnt get into it, and Lu Ting wasnt that into it either.
Just as Lin Yueqi was looking down and ying on her phone, Lu Tings head suddenly dropped onto her shoulder. She pushed him a little. Lu Ting?
He could actually sleep in this environment?
Lu Ting pretended not to have heard anything and shut his eyes.
Chapter 252 - Can we kiss? (7)
After walking out of the theater, Lin Yueqi didnt even know what they watched that night. She was thinking about how she could throw those kids out of the theater.
The two of them went downstairs and walked side by side towards the parking lot. Cold wind blowing against her neck, Lin Yueqi shrunk back in cold.
When Lu Ting saw this, he held her hand and put it on his lips, nuzzling and blowing on them. Still cold?
This wasnt the first time Lu Ting had done this for her, but things felt different tonight. It felt flirtatious.
She nodded. Yeah, but it feels better now.
Lu Ting rubbed her hands again. In the past, the man would let go after warming her hands, but not today. He just held her hand all the way until they reached the parking lot.
Lin Yueqi felt like today was a magical day.
The restaurant they went to was very elegant, and Lu Ting ordered a bottle of wine. Lin Yueqi felt that the atmosphere was quite good and dly epted Papa Lus toast.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was slightly sweet but slightly awkward. Neither of them knew what to say.
Lu Ting turned on his phone and said, Lets y Sudoku. Whoever loses drink.
Is this really a date? Lin Yueqi began to doubt the uracy of her intuition. She nodded. Sure! Ive never lost at Sudoku before!
As it turns out, you couldnt make your ims too solid or itll be especially loud when your face gets pped.
While eating, they opened a room for Sudoku and yed together. The violinist ying next to them didnt even know if he should continue ying or not QAQ.
The way this pair dated was simply too unique, too special.
Aftering out of the restaurant, Lu Ting drove her home.
Even though Lin Yueqi was a little tipsy, she wasnt drunk. She looked out the window and realized that something wasnt right. She asked, Old Lu, you seem to be going around in circles.
Im a little dizzy.
But youdidnt drink, did you?
Motion sickness.
Lin Yueqi told him to stop by the road. After a moment of silence, she said, Lets just call the driver.
Its sote, lets not.
Lin Yueqi, ??
Lu Ting casually pointed to a nearby five-star hotel and said, Why dont we stay the night there? We can ask the driver to send us back tomorrow morning.
UhOkay?
Lin Yueqi could feel that something wasnt right, but she couldnt think of what.
The motion sick Lu Ting drove the car to the hotel, and when they went to the counter, the person at the counter said, Sorry, we only have one room left.
Li Xing had already made preparations. Once the receptionist saw them, they were to inform them that they only had one room.
Lin Yueqi, One room it is then, saves us money.
After entering the room, Lin Yueqi was shocked by the soft furnishing inside. The entire room was decorated in a purple hue. There were also some strange mysterious balls next to the bed that looked simr to yoga balls.
The ceiling of the round bed was a mirror, so those who slept on the bed would be able to see themselves. Lin Yueqi was trying to imagine how she would feel when she woke up to see herself. It would definitely be damn scary.
To the right of the bed was apletely transparent bathroom, and even the shower curtain was semi-transparent. Whenever someone was showering, the person on the bed would be able to see their shadow.
At this moment, Lin Yueqi felt as if she had been brought into a hotel by a creepy uncle.
When Lu Ting saw the furnishings, he was also taken aback. When he looked at the flower petals on the bed, he was even more shocked.
Lin Yueqi red at him and he immediately flinched. He coughed lightly. You sleep on the bed tonight, Ill take the floor.
Sure.
She nodded.
Anyone taking a shower in this sort of bathroom would feel awkward. So, the two of them just casually washed their faces and jumped into the covers.
At around one in the morning, Lin Yueqi was sound asleep when a man got under her covers.
Lin Yueqi kicked him. Lu Ting, what are you doing?!
Im cold.
Fine, that was a legitimate excuse.
Lin Yueqi turned her back to him and continued sleeping.
After about half an hour, the man hugged her from behind.
Lin Yueqi couldnt stand it anymore. Lu Ting!
Lu Ting turned her body over and pressed his face over, the tip of his nose rubbing against hers, breathing sharply.
Can wekiss?
Chapter 253 - Can we
Lin Yueqi lost her temper with him and said perfunctorily, Alright alright, get it over with and quickly go back to sleep.
Like a schoolboy who had just gotten candy, Lu Ting kissed her excitedly.
After that kiss, Lin Yueqi hadpletely lost her sleepiness. It felt like electricity was running through her body, it was numbing. Unlike thest time, this time felt particrly wonderful.
Um Lin Yueqi said quietly, You can kiss me again, but only a little one.
Mm. The man moved over and gave her another small peck on the lips.
The kiss felt wonderful to Lin Yueqi, it tasted a hundred times sweeter than jelly. She never thought about this in the past, but only now did she realize that the feeling of a man kissing a woman could be this wonderful.
It felt like she had fallen into a cloud of cotton candy, sweet sugar wrapped around her body.
UmOld Lu. Lin Yueqis voice was even quieter now. Ahem, do you dare toFrench kiss?
Lu Ting,
At this moment, Lu Ting had the illusion that he was in a rtionship with an elementary school student.
The insults against Li Murou online were so terrible that she didnt dare to go online again. Due to her copse in reputation, someizens even sent wreaths to Swallow Canteen, leading her to close the restaurant without any other choice. Not only that, but she was also forced to pay a considerable amount of money due to the collectiveints of nausea and vomiting from guests who ate her food, and her chefs license was revoked.
Even though she lostpletely in this game with Lin Yueqi, losing her career as a chef, she still got to marry Li Xiujie at the very least.
She thought that Li Xiujie liked her as a person, but what she did not know was that Li Xiujie only liked her for her craft. The only reason he married her was because she could cook.
When Li Xiujie went to B City for a movie shoot, Li Murou followed him over as well to cook his three meals for him.
When he returned from the set, it was already 3:00 am, and he was hungry. Li Murou made him a bowl of wontons. Just in case it didnt suit his taste, she had turned on the Gourmet Chef Goddess system on purpose.
As soon as Li Xiujie took a bite, Li Murou received a system prompt. Ding ding~ The male and female leads tried French kissing. Their feelings warmed up and love mode has activated. The system is under serious attack and is about to die. While the system is in the process of dying, every food you make will turn into dark cuisine. Please be careful with your cooking, and please save the system as soon as possible! Break up the male and female leads! Otherwise, the system will self-destruct in twenty days. As the host, you will suffer the punishment of not being able to touch ingredients for the rest of your life. When that happens, every food you touch will be incredibly smelly.
After that prompt ended, Li Xiujie choked on the stench of shit that suddenly filled his mouth and lungs, gagging furiously.
Li Xiujie was very hungry and tired after he came back from the shooting, so he became very irritated when he ate food like this. He threw the bowl at Li Murou and fumed. What is this?!
I Li Murou quickly tried to exin. The meat filling probably went bad. Ill order takeaway for you.
Li Xiujie frowned. Takeout? You want me to eat takeout? Then what did I marry you for? As a decoration?
Li Murou froze. She mustered an awkward smile and asked, Didnt you marry me because you liked me?
Li Xiujie had an impatient look on his face. Make another bowl. Im hungry.
But no matter what Li Murou cooked, it all smelled like shit. Finally, Li Xiujie couldnt stand it anymore. He didnt have the appetite to eat anything.
At night, when Li Murouid down beside him, he seemed to be able to smell the stench from her too. He kicked her off the bed and yelled, Move!
Chapter 254 - when will you and Mama get married? (1)
Ch.254 when will you and Mama get married?(1)
Li Xiujies character wasnt formed overnight, especially if one was repressed far too long in the industry and couldnt find an outlet to vent. He just wanted to find good food to console him, but he never thought that Li Murous cooking would taste so terrible. It was even worse than average dark cuisine.
After working for a whole day in the winter, going into the water and bearing with pressures at high altitudes for several hours, he originally wanted to replenish his energy with Li Murous food, but he didnt expect to suffer such a big shock to his taste buds.
He was a lover of food and could ignore everything bad about a chef because of it, but simrly, he can also ignore all the goods of a chef because of their bad food. He couldnt tolerate it even if the chef was his wife.
Li Murou couldnt stand it anymore and grabbed the vase next to the bed, smashing it towards the man who was just about to fall asleep, screaming in a shrill voice, Li Xiujie! Who the hell do you take me for? Do you think Im just here to serve you?!
Li Xiujie was sleeping when a vase was suddenly smashed over his head. Blood immediately began to flow, drenching the white pillow red. The man sat up and reached up to touch it. His palm came up red.
The mans eyes grew darker and darker. He got up and grabbed the womans hair, mming her against the wall. After all, Li Murou was a chef and had enough strength in her arms to hold a wok, so she grabbed the wireless phone from the nightstand and threw it at the man behind her.
The man grunted in pain. As he was already hurt to begin with, he stumbled and fell.
Right then, Li Murou picked up themp and smashed it at him.
Once everything turned quiet, she looked dazed at the messy room. Finally, she trembled and called the numberbeled Bureau Director.
This man was the director of the Public Security Bureau, and the two of them became friends after he ate her food. However, when the man received her call, she didnt even give her the chance to call and cursed her for a while before hanging up.
When she heard the beep from the other end of the phone, Li Murou fell to the floor in a panic, not knowing what to do.
Around five minutester, the man on the floor roused, face full of blood, and stumbled out of the door.
Immediately after, the neighbors screams came from outside.
Around 5 am, inside the couples room at the hotel.
Old Lu, dont you think that your kissing skills are a littlecking
Lu Ting was definitely a smart person, but he was too stiff when it came to rtionships. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be such an outstanding domineering president. He had been single up till this age and had never even touched any other woman besides her.
For this woman to bluntly point out that he was cking, Lu Tings pride was hurt. He immediately rolled over and pressed his body over hers. Supporting himself with his arms like he was doing push-ups, he had the woman locked under his chest.
The lighting out of the bedsidemp was a light, slightly dim violet, and was barely able to illuminate the outline of the two of them, but it wasnt clear. It was like a hazy veil was over them.
Ahem
Lu Ting coughed lightly as if to remind her that he was about to begin. he leaned down and nibbled lightly on her lips, carefully pushing her teeth apart and performing a French kiss.
She wrapped her arms around Lu Tings neck and responded to his advances clumsily.
The sweet taste and the sense of security and warmth enveloped her whole body. She shut her eyes, quietly enjoying this French kiss.
It was the first time for her to try a deep kiss like this between lovers. Even if Lu Ting was clumsy, the special sweet feeling still filled up her chest. At first it was just the light peck, but now this deep progression was also sweet, and its sweetness was far more intense than the former.
Lu Tings body had already begun to react. Clearly, his repressed desires were about to overflow.w
He explored Lin Yueqis clothes with his hands but he was pped away by her hand, then his tongue was bitten.
The man let out a stifled grunt of pain, face looking wronged.
He heard Lin Yueqi mutter, HehWhy are you just like Tuantuan, not warming up your hands before you shove them into my clothes. If you do it again, Ill beat you to death, alright?
Lu Ting was taken by surprise when she pped the back of his hand, and he was so frightened that his little buddy immediately went limp.
Lu Ting, Is she not nning to leave him any dignity as a man at all?
Lin Yueqi was really sleepy, so she patted Lu Tings shoulder and said, Alright, get off me. Todays share of jelly is over. Sleep.
Chapter 255 - when will you and Mama get married? (2)
Ch.255 when will you and Mama get married?(2)
Lu Ting looked at her with a dazed face.
Thats it?
Woman, arent you nning to put out the fire you caused?
Actually, considering the fact that he and Lin Yueqi just got together, he didnt actually intend to do anything. He just wanted to kiss her and let their feelings progress gradually.
But he didnt expect Lin Yueqi to actually propose they kiss with tongue.
Tuantuans mother was a bold and ruthless person, no doubt about it. She wasnt shy nor did she try to hide at all.
After some intense French kissing, his body could no longer bear it and he wanted to develop things further with her. But as soon as his thieving hand got close, his n was nipped in the bud.
Lu Ting took back his aggrieved hand and rolled ver. His body was extremely ufortable from having to endure these urges. He needed somewhere to vent.
Lin Yueqi watched him silently curl up into the covers and turn his back to her, looking quite ufortable. She poked the back of his neck with her finger and asked quietly, Old Lu, are you angry? Then you
She sounded like a hero sending herself to her death.
Lu Ting was overjoyed and turned around to look at her. But instead, she grabbed his hands and shoved them under her clothes, pressing his palms tightly against her belly.
Lin Yueqi warmed his hands for a while and asked, Feeling warmer now?
Miss Lin, do you know the anatomy of a mans lower body?
But of course Lu Ting wouldnt dare to touch her again for fear of being unable to hold himself back and turning into a beast. He quickly drew his hands back and sat up. Im going to take a shower.
When she saw him enter the bathroom, Lin Yueqi could see the blurred curves of the mans body. While she was peeping, the man hung up his towel as a curtain, blocking the view above his knees.
When he returned from his shower, he saw Lin Yueqi lying where he was sleeping just now.
When she saw him return, Lin Yueqi quickly rolled back to her own ce, then she lifted the nket and patted the empty space beside her. Come here, Old Lu. I warmed the bed for you.
Lu Ting wiped his body and walked over, covering up her nket again and stuffing it under her body. Then, he dove back onto the covers on the floor.
Lin Yueqi was confused. Arent you cold?
Lu Ting, Just took a shower, not cold anymore.
Lin Yueqi responded with an oh and curled back into her covers, leaving only her head outside. Then, she asked, Old Lu, did you really get angry?
No. Lu Ting had no idea how he was going to exin himself.
Even though the two of them even had a baby together, he didnt even have the courage to make the offer of rolling under the sheets with her. It took him a lot to finally take the initiative, only to have his n nipped in the bud by her p.
He was probably the most miserable man there was.
Tuantuan and Lin Yu had told him about Lin Yueqi losing her memory, so he figured it didnt matter that she forgot about him. The two of them didnt know each other that well before this either, it was even worse than what they had now. The more impressionable memory he had of them in the past would probably be that time in bed after the two of them were drunk.
He thought it would be fine for Lin Yueqi to forget that sort of thing, but now he realized how important it was for her to remember.
Otherwise, he would not have the illusion that he was trying to sleep with a high school student, nor would he be stressed to this extent.
After this failure, he didnt dare to explicitly propose what he wanted to do at all.
After all, the girls memory stayed only at 17 years old. If he brings it up, then he may just be sent flying with a p.
Lu Ting didnt dare to sleep in the same bed with her again. It was too amorous. Even though he prides himself on being a gentleman, what sort of man could sit still under such a situation?
In summary, he decided to sleep on the floor.
But somehow, when Lin Yueqi looked at the man curled up into a ball on the ground, she actually had the illusion that he was a homeless little dog wandering around the streets.
She suddenly wanted to pet his dog head and give him a hug.
Even though she thought so, she was too tired and fell asleep just like that.
Their first date could be considered a huge failure. Lu Ting was frustrated and recognized the fact that he was aplete failure when it came to rtionships.
Inside the office.
Lu Ting was sitting in the office signing papers while Li Xing sat in front of his desk.
Chapter 256 - when will you and Mama get married? (3)
Ch.256 when will you and Mama get married?(3)
Tuantuan wasying over the small desk at the side, doing her homework well-behavedly, not saying anything, just listening in.
Li Xing sat in front of the desk and looked expressionlessly at him. Old Lu, sometimes I truly feel that youre not suitable for rtionships, just raising kids. Thats all. Qiqi is a good girl, so dont waste her time.
Lu Ting was looking down at the documents. After hearing what he said, he continued signing the papers.
When Tuantuan heard this, she turned over and said, Uncle Li, dont attack my Papa like that. Mama said that no one is born knowing everything in the world. Just because Papa is clumsy with Mama doesnt mean Papa will be clumsy forever. You dont know this, but Papa is much better than before! At least hes starting to care for Mama now.
Li Xing felt his brain hurt when he thought of how he messed up his carefully arranged datest night.
At this moment, Tuantuan took out a note from her pencil box and passed it to him. Papa, Teacher Le asked me to inform you to add her on WeChat. She has something to talk to you about.
Lu Ting had always been very concerned with matters concerning the girl and didnt think too much about it. Taking the phone number from her, she added her on WeChat.
In less than half a minute, the friend request went through.
Mrs. Le with her cartoon profile picture sent a teasing emoticon to Lu Ting before sending a text over.
Hello, Mrs. Lu. Im Lu Junyis ss teacher, Le Xiao. Next Monday, the ss will be having a parent-child activity that requires the presence of both the mother and the father. Ive already contacted Ms. Lin on my said and she said she will be going to another city to promote a movie next Monday, so shes not avable to go. That is why Ive added you in order to send you the event schedule.
Sure.
Can youe, Mr. Lu? Parent-child activities can help parents maintain a good rtionship with their children. It can form a great environment for children to grow up. As a teacher, I hope you can attend.
Sure.
Its decided then~ Ill send you the schedule now. [mischievous grin]
Lu Ting carefully scanned through the schedule as well as the things he had to prepare. Thinking it was no big deal, he forwarded the message to his assistant and asked him to prepare everything.
After sending the message, Li Xing asked. Tuantuans teacher? Is she pretty? Hey, introduce us.
Lu Ting swept a nce at him. You already have Jiang Mucheng, why are you still hopping to get on another boat?
Li Xing blew up immediately. Shit! Talk properly, when did Jiang Mucheng and I have anything to do with each other? Theres absolutely nothing between the two of us! Were innocent.
Lu Ting nodded. Yes, innocent. Taking a girl to an amusement park every week, very innocent.
Li Xing lost his temper. Hmph! You dont even know what romance is. Im not going to argue with you.
Meanwhile on the other side.
Le Xiao was holding her daughter, Liu Xues, hand, waiting for the traffic lights to turn green.
After sending a message to Lu Ting, she received a bnce notification from her bank. When she saw the bill on her phone, she felt like her head was going to explode.
She graduated from a prestigious school and her family situation was not bad. She met her current husband in college. Her current husband, Liu Tong, was also well off and he was a good man. In his early thirties, he had already reached the top ranks of the Qiancheng Group.
He was an excellent husband who loved her and their daughter very much. As long as there was something she wanted, her husband would buy it for her. The family of three lived happily together. She was responsible for taking care of the kid while the husband makes money to support the family.
But just a month ago, her husband, Liu Tong, was suddenly fired by Qiancheng Group. She had no idea what happened after that, but her husband suddenly owed a debt of ny million. In order to pay off the debt, she sold both the houses they had before and after the wedding, borrowing money everywhere they could, and finally cleared the debt.
Recently, her husband had been drinking at home and was in a state of copse. In order to make ends meet, she came out to find a job. Even with such difficulties, she still insisted on sending her daughter to an international kindergarten. To make things easier, she also enrolled in the same school as a teacher.
Red lights off, in came green.
Le Xiao was holding her daughters hand, ready to cross the street when she suddenly received a call.
The man on the other side of the phone asked, Hello, is this Mrs. Le? This is the Tianshui District Police Station. Is your husbands name Liu Tong? 35 years old, from B City.
Thats right. Whats wrong, officer? Le Xiao subconsciously pressed her hand against her chest as if she had understood something.
Chapter 257 - when will you and Mama get married? (4)
Ch.257 when will you and Mama get married?(4)
The police officer said, Mrs. Le, please prepare yourself mentally. Your husband fell from the 7th floor of Pearl District around 4:30 pm. The case was initially identified as a suicide. Mrs. Le
Le Xiao couldnt hear what he said next. Her ears were crackling like there were explosions going off around her. cking up before her eyes, she fainted.
Mama! Mama!
When Le Xiao woke up, she saw a police officer and her daughter standing next to her. Everything was so real. She reached out to touch her 6-year-old daughter and her hands couldnt stop shaking.
Her eyes were filled with suppressed tears. When her hand touched her daughter, tears broke out. Her voice was hoarse as she asked, What year, month, and day is it today?
The policewoman thought that she had been overstimted and couldnt remember the date anymore, so she quickly responded, Year 20X9, November 27.
She was stunned for a moment before finallying back to her senses. She lifted the covers and got out of bed, hugging her daughter and crying out bitterly, tears wetting her daughters cor.
Thats right, she transmigrated. She actually transmigrated back 25 years ago, when everything could still be saved.
At the thought that the Lu family ruined her family, her eyes began to burn with rage.
Lu Ting was the reason her husband was dead, he was the one who destroyed her wonderful family.
Not only that, but Lu Junyi, Lu Tings daughter, ruined her daughters life more than a dozen yearster by stealing her boyfriend. She wanted to kill Lin Yueqi, the one Lu Ting and Lu Junyi loved the most, but her n failed and she got herself killed instead.
Fortunately, she was able to start over.
Just then, a voice rang in her head and everything in front of her eyes stood still. Before her, a system panel appeared.
Ding ding, nice to meet you. You are wee to bind with the Viins Mother Counterattack system. Your task is to help your daughter reverse the trend of the story and be the second-generation female lead. Therefore, you must start with the first-generation male and female leads first. In order to attack the male and female leads, you have to follow my tips to do your task~ There are several function panels in front of you. These are career, heavenly fortune and charisma upgrades. For each function panel, you can only use it once in three months.

Very soon, Le Xiao received all the information about this system.
Turns out she was able to transmigrate back 25 years because of this system. The reason she came back was to help her daughter turn her life around, turning her daughter into the heroine andpleting her life.
She still remembered her daughters sadness after being rejected by the second-generation male lead, Song Mu, to this day. She also remembered her daughters despair when she was imprisoned.
If not for Lu Junyi, then Song Mu would have liked her daughter. If it wasnt for Lu Junyi, her daughter would not have been foolish enough to do bad things and end up in jail, and she wouldnt have be the viin in the end.
And whose child was lesser than anyone elses? Why does Lin Yueqi and Lu Tings daughter get to live a smooth life and get everything she wants easily? Why was this world so unfair?
In this life, she wanted to push her daughter up onto the seat of female lead instead.
Not only did she transmigrate over, she also got the Viins Mother system to help her in this life. She must make the Lu family pay. She had to make their lives even more miserable than theirs did in theirst life.
Le Xiao resolutely chose the [Heavenly Fortune] function.
First, she had to have money. Second, with money, she could let her daughter wear beautiful clothes and bring her back to live in a vi again. Then, her daughter can regain her lost self-confidence, and shell be able to live the life of a little princess again.
Half a monthter.
An explosive story burst out onto the headlines.
#Film Emperor Li divorce from domestic violence#
#Li Murou domestically abused? Or did she abuse Li Xiujie?#
At nine this morning, Li Murou said through her blog that she was married to Li Xiujie and abused by him domestically, exposing the Film Emperor as a scum man.
At around 10:30, Li Xiujie was unwilling to show weakness and excused her as the abuser instead.
At the same time, Li Xiujie sent out the hospitalization letter and injury appraisal, proving that what Li Murou said was a lie. She was the actual abuser in the rtionship.
This farce between the two of them stunned theizens. Themented:
God, whats going on? Not only did the Film Emperors persona fall apart, he even got married in secret? Thats one thing, but he married Li Murou? And thats another thing, but theres domestic violence?
Not only are they abusing each other, theyre even tearing each other up on Weibo? Biggest scandal of the year!
Chapter 258 - when will you and Mama get married? (5)
Ch.258 when will you and Mama get married?(5)
What the hell is up with Film Emperor Li? He terminated his contract with Jiachen Media and set up a studio in cooperation with American Video. I thought his career would flourish and get better and better, but whats this? His persona copsed, fine, but did it have to copse this thoroughly?
Im not a fan anymore, whats this bullshit? No sympathy at all for this couple. Well deserved.
The truth is revealed. Emperor Li was just trying to promote his wife from the very beginning. I also wondered how she was able to hire Film Emperor Li as a dark cuisine chef, but now I understand. One is a dark cuisine chef who relies on marketing to get famous, and now her poor reputation is even flooding out internationally. And the other is a Film Emperor with apletely ruined persona. These two are simply WTF.
I originally thought the Film Emperors persona copsed enough, but now it seems I was naive. Seriously, since Li Xiujie terminated his contract with Jiachen Media, negative opinion has beening over wave after wave. Even though Jiachen is not as influential as American Video, they still do a good PR job.
You really dont know who you married until youre married. Tsk tsk, Watching the show~
Film Emperor Li is also very pitiful. Not only did he marry the Queen of Dark Cuisine, he was also used by her to gain fame. That Li Murou is also disgusting. Theyre a married couple in the end, so does she have to smear him like this? Now look at what an ugly mess theyve made.
Due to the couples constant bickering on the, theizens gave Li Murou the title of Marketing Queen, and Li XIujies persona also plummeted a thousand miles under.
Li Xiujies career had been falling because of what happened. After their sh marriage and sh divorce, he and Li Murou have been tearing up Weibo each week. It was a big mess. Even the no-brain fans couldnt stand how aggressive Li Xiuejie was after his persona copsed. All of them stopped being fans.
And, due to Li Murous punishment from the Gourmet Chef Goddess system, she couldnt cook. Even when she went out to look for work, nobody would take her. When she had nowhere left to go, the Gourmet Chef Goddess system announced that it had self-destructed, and whatever ingredients she touched in the future would be strangely smelly.
She could no longer cook for herself and had to order takeout. But when her mouth touched the food, it would also taste like shit and vomit.
A monthter, Lin Yueqi finally seeded in slimming down and her body finally returned to its normal state.
She had just walked out of the gym when she received a call from a private detective. Li Murou had disappeared for half a month, and through her dreams, she learned that Li Murou got a dose of her medicine and was punished by the system, not being able to touch food again for the rest of her life. In order to find out her current condition, Lin Yueqi specifically found someone to investigate her.
When the private detective found Li Murou, she had lost 10 kilos and was nothing but skin and bones. Since she was young, she didnt have any other skills other than cooking. No good job would take her, and she wasnt willing to do bad jobs either. She was severely malnourished and coupled with severe depression, she couldnt work at all.
Right now, she was barely surviving with her fathers support, but her future was bleak with to head in sight.
At the start of the month, Fat Girl Mama finally aired and broke the box office record for Chinese 2D movies on the first day. Because of this movie, Lin Yueqis career also rose again and again.
It was also at this time that Lin Yueqi posted a photo in response to the movies promotion along with the text:
Thank you all for supporting Fat Girl Mama. The sess of the movie will not be possible without the team behind it. Thank you to the director, the writer, and the productionpany. Thank you to all the staff who worked so hard for this movie. We couldnt have made it this far without you guys. [photo]
There in the photo, Lin Yueqi showed off her body which was even better than before.
Not only did she get rid of her fat, she also gained firm muscles. She got her V-shaped face back and her cheeks were rosy. She had bright eyes and even her double chin was gone. Her facial contours firmed up again and she looked much more refreshed than before. She was smiling at the camera with a lively aura lingering about her.
The excess fat on her wait and abdomen disappeared and was reced by very clear muscles. Once Lin Yueqi posted this photo, it was immediately scooped up by Li Xings marketing team and pushed to the top.

Chapter 259 - when will you and Mama get married? (6)
Ch.259 when will you and Mama get married?(6)
The marketing ount posted threeparison photos of Lin Yueqi before, during, and after.
The first one was when she was filming Fat Girl Mama, the second was during Natures Big Storm, and the third was the photo of her current waistline.
The effect of the threeparison photos was very obvious.
Due to her weight, Lin Yueqi looked like a greasy and old 35-year-old woman in the first photo.
On the second one, she had a sexy rich bust and hips, but she was still too fat for the entertainment industry. This type of body could tempt normal people, but it will affect her career in the entertainment industry.
In the third photo, her arms were clearly slim but she had nicely shaped muscles. She also had a narrow waist and abs. It was a healthy and sunny body that attracted the envy of others.
Theizens were shocked to see the three photos.
My god, Lin Yueqis body is hacking her way to fitness! If I hadnt seen Natures Big Storm, then I would have thought shed gone for stic surgery!
Isnt Lin Yueqi too powerful? They said that Fat Girl Mama has been sent to the Academy Awards! Looking forward to the new movie. Its out in another month. Lets go!
Qiqi, youre great! Howe youre so amazing?
When will my Qiqi get married to Papa Lu? Papa Lu is seriously slow, when is he going to propose marriage to my Qiqi? Come on, Im gonna die from the wait!
As a brainless fan, I order you and Papa Lu to get married immediately! I want to see some love!
After Lin Yueqi seeded in slimming down, she remembered that the Flourishing Beauty system had long been starved to death by her.
Through this incident, she believed even more that there are no shortcuts in this world. People will just get addicted and getzy. The only way to seed is to keep your feet firm on the ground and take things one step at a time.
When Lu Ting returned from his business trip abroad, the first thing he did was go back home to eat dinner with the old man. Then, he casually found an excuse to leave the house and went to Lin Yueqis vi.
When he arrived, Lin Yueqi was at the gym, training her body.
Tuantuan was sitting on the sofa watching cartoons. When she saw her Papae in, she jumped off the sofa excitedly and pounced onto Lu Ting, hugging his leg. Papa!
When Lu Ting saw his daughter, his heart melted. He picked his daughter up from the floor and said, Well, havent you grown taller and slimmer. Have you been a good girl?
Tuantuan has been good! But Papa hasnt. Its been so long since Papa came to see Tuantuan and Mama.
The chubby girl grabbed his ears, looking a little dejected.
Lin Yueqi had just finished training and came out, just in time to see the father and daughter pair sitting on the living room sofa. Lin Yueqi also went over to sit down as well.
The old father was holding his daughter and whispering to her.
Lonely as she was, she crossed her long legs on top of the coffee table and wiggled her little feet. Meanwhile, she crunched on an apple while ying with her phone.
The staff in the studio group were discussing about staff member Xiao A and her boyfriends proposal. Xiao A recorded and posted her boyfriends proposal in her circle of friends, and the group of colleagues was shouting about how sweet it was.
The young teenage girl, Lin Yueqi, was also about to cry from the sweetness as if he were watching a romantic idol drama.
Lin Yueqi clicked on the proposal video and showed it to Lu Ting. Look, Old Lu! Isnt this like some kind of divine idol drama? So sweet!
Lu Ting swept a nce at it and fell into deep contemtion.
Lin Yueqi continued looking through her circle of friends, nibbling on her apple while a sweet smile stayed at her lips as if she was moved by someone elses proposal.
As if Tuantuan had thought of something, she grabbed her Papas ear. Papa.
Hm?
Tuantuan seemed to be hesitant. She swallowed her saliva and lowered her head, a sh of unhappiness moving across her eyes. But when she looked up again, she was back to her same old sweet smile.
But how could Lu Ting not be able to tell whether the girls smile was real or fake?
He frowned.
Papa, when will you and Mama get married? My ssmates said that Mama is Papas mistress and that Papa will not marry Mama unless she gives birth to a boy. I told them its not true. Papa isnt that kind of guy. But they wouldnt believe me. They said if what I said was true, then Papa would have married Mama.
They also saidPapa caused the death of Liu Xues Mama, that Papa is a murderer, and Im a murderers daughter. Papa, what they said wasnt true, right?
Hearing this, Lin Yueqi choked on her apple.
Chapter 260 - Mama Doesn’t Love Papa? (1)
Ch.260 Mama Doesnt Love Papa?(1)
She was coughing madly from choking. While holding a child in one hand, Lu Ting reached over to pat her back.
The man did not finish speaking, but his brows were knitted into a tight frown.
Lin Yuqi couldnt casually curse in front of the child. Calming herself down, she took a long breath and said, Tuantuan, where did you hear that from? None of that is true. Theyre just smearing his name on purpose. Mom and dad are in a normal loving rtionship. Your Papa isnt the type to favor sons over daughters, and neither is Mama. The reason why we still havent married is becauseYou know how it is, were just really busy with work.
Really? Tuantuan blinked her eyes at her and asked, But why does Tuantuan feel like Mama doesnt love Papa? It doesnt feel like Papa loves Mama either. Zhang Xiaomeis Mama and Papa will kiss her every day when they pick her up, then kiss each other. But you guys
The chubby little girl seemed to sigh, no longer continuing to speak.
Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting looked at each other.
Before the man could say anything, Lin Yueqi grabbed Lu Tings ear and pulled him over to her,nding a kiss on his cheek with a smooch. Then, she said to the chubby girl, Did you see that, Tuantuan? Just because youve never seen me and your dad kiss doesnt mean weve never kissed. Were just shy people, so we only kiss secretly.
Being forcibly kissed by this woman, Lu Tings ears, cheeks, and even his neck were burning red.
After enjoying a quick taste, his face turned serious again. Tuantuan, there are some things that Papa shouldnt talk to you about since theyre adult matters, but Papa has to exin them to you right now.
Mhm. Tuantuan pursed her lips and nodded. Okie, tell me, Papa!
If Im not mistaken, Liu Xues father that youre talking about should be the same Uncle Liu Tong that Papa fired. Youve seen him at the office before.
Really? I think I remember him. But why did he die? Tuantuan looked at him with her head tilted to the side.
Lu Ting exined, Not only did Liu Xues father secretly sold Papas things, but even wanted to snatch Papas office, so Papa fired him. I didnt think things would end so badly for him. He owed a lot of money outside and it overwhelmed him, so he killed himself. Tuantuan, to put it simply, its like your ssmate stole something from you and tried to make your friends and the teachers dislike you. Do you understand if I put it that way?
Of course Tuantuan could understand such a straightforward exnation. She nodded and humphed. So Liu Xius Papa is a thief, then doesnt that also make her a little thief? So shes not a good person
Tuantuan, how could you think like that? Lin Yueqi flicked her forehead. Her Papa is the one who was stealing. What does this have anything to do with her? Shes just like you, a pure child without any evil intentions. Shes also a victim that such a thing happened to her family, so shes very pitiful. You mustnt add oil to the fire, do you understand?
Tuantuan let out an ow in pain after being flicked on the forehead. She nodded. Okie, I understand, Mama. I wont look down on Liu Xue. Shes also very pitiful. Her Papa is a thief and involved her as well. Its a good thing the kids in ss dont know her Papa is a thief, otherwise, theyll definitely bully her!
Thats right. So you cant tell them, alright? Not everyone is the same as you and wont bully her for this. We cant control what other people do, but we definitely cant do things that will hurt others. But of course, if anyone bullies you, you also have to be smart and retort. Got that?
Tuantuan nodded. Got it, Mama.
After a session of parental guidance, she had everything figured out. She hugged Lin Yueqis neck and kissed her forehead, then she went to tug on Lu Tings ears and give his cheek a kiss as well.
The family of three sat on the sofa, watching We Bare Ducks. Within ten minutes, both Tuantuan and Lin Yueqi fell asleep on Lu Tings shoulders.
Lin Yu went downstairs to carry Tuantuan in to sleep. Lu Ting also brought Lin Yueqi upstairs.
Putting her down on the bed, Lu Ting did not leave. Instead, heid down beside her and carefully observed her sleeping face.
Under the dim light, the girls skin was wless just like porcin. She had dense and curved eyshes. Every time she breathed, her mouth would open slightly, and he could faintly see her canines. Her cute sleeping face scratched at Lu Tings heart and made it itch. He leaned down andnded a soft kiss on her lips.
Chapter 261 - Mama Doesn’t Love Papa? (2)
Ch.261 Mama Doesnt Love Papa?(2)
Worrying that hed be found out, he quickly moved away.
Her lips were soft and slightly wet, as if they were covered with ayer of honey. There was a faint taste of sweetness. Even his heart began to beat unusually.
Every time he kissed Lin Yueqi, a strange emotion seemed to swell inside his heart. It was also the same this time. There was a gush of something swelling up in his chest that he couldnt get rid of, and he couldnt stop his lips from curving upwards.
It felt really strange. He had never felt this way before.
Thinking about it that way, he couldnt help but kiss her again.
This time, Lu Ting could smell the uniquely sweet fragrance of her body which made it even harder for him to stop. The tip of his nose moved down, stopping at her nape, taking in the scent deeply.
The smell of Lin Yueqis body made him feelfortable as if all the tiredness that had been umting the past few days was dispersing. Hugging Lin Yueqis body, he rested his head on her chest and also fell asleep.
At times like this, he was especially grateful towards the tolerance Lin Yueqi showed to this boyfriend of hers. He was a man without a single romantic cell in his body, so it was probably a blessing he received from hisst life to be able to get together with such a good woman now.
In the dream, she saw how the world was originally, and also saw how it was after it was destroyed by the supporting female characters.
This was a novel about a domineering president. The original male lead, Lu Ting, was hopeless in rtionships. During a drunken ident, he had a child with the female lead, Lin Yueqi. A few yearster, the two got back together and got married because of the child. Even though there were some obstacles in their life, they finally fell in love with each other in the end and achieved a sweet and happy ending.
The books extra was around 200,000 words. As the second-generation female lead, Tuantuan took on the role of her parents.
In the extras, Tuantuan was the second generation female lead, and Song Mu was the second generation male lead.
In the original story, without the interference of the golden finger female supporting characters, Tuantuan will grow up to be an ancient architecture designer, while Song Mu will be a well-known young director in the country, winning an Oscar for best director before the age of 30, winning numerous awards. He had great talent despite his young age, and would join the ranks of the top ten directors of the country.
But after the female supporting character counter-attack system appeared in the novel world, matching several of the female supporting characters with golden finger systems, the world was turned into a big mess.
Lin Yueqi and Lu Tings story ended in tragedy.
And likewise, Tuantuan and Song Mus ending didnt get much better either.
The characters in this world had lives too, but their personalities have been set at the beginning and cant be changed. Just like Lu Ting and Song Mu, these sweet male leads, the only good match for them are the female leads. Without them, they wont fall in love with any other woman.
Because of the failure of the first generation leading characters Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting, they had no time to take care of the physical and mental health of their children, leading to Tuantuan bing ostracized from childhood, falling victim to campus violence, and her character began to twist in an extreme way. In the original setting, Song Mu was going to fall in love with Tuantuan as they grew up.
Since the two of them were childhood friends, Song Mu would also try and lead Tuantuan back into the right path, but the trauma and hurt from her childhood would leave a thorn in her heart that could never be pulled out unless Lin Yueqi came back to life.
Tuantuan already had depression at the age of 20. In order to help her heal, Song mu took her out on a trip to look at all sorts of ancient architecture around the country. Tuantuan was grateful and happy for hispanionship, and also intended to step out of the traumas of her childhood for his sake.
When Tuantuan was 20, one of her female ssmates stopped her in a back alley in the middle of the night. This female ssmate had epted money from Liu Xues transmigrated mother just to mess with her.
Chapter 262 - Mama Doesn’t Love Papa? (3)
Chapter 262 C Mama Doesnt Love Papa?(3)
Liu Xues mother, relying on the fact that she was a transmigrator and had the help of a golden finger system, made careful ns to take away her female lead halo.
This female student punched and kicked her, and abused her verbally, getting her right where it hurts. She even scolded her departed mother, Lin Yueqi. Unable to hold back her anger, she grabbed a rock and attacked the girl with it.
She did not kill the girl, but she was taken away by the police the next day as a suspect.
The girl went back to her dormitory to rest after their argument. But as soon as she closed her eyes, she never woke up again.
Tuantuan was blinded by rage and hit the girl with a rock that night. She didnt even remember how much she hurt the girl, but she was upset at how impulsive shed been when she found out the girl was dead, and now bing guilty of a crime of manughter. Even though her father Lu Ting helped her hire a goodwyer, she still couldnt escape the charges.
But what she had no idea about was the fact that the girls death wasnt actually caused by her impulsiveness. The real culprit was Le Xiao.
Le Xiao carefully nned everything in order to reverse things and turn her viin daughter into the second-generation female lead, and to help her garner the favor of the second-generation male lead, Song Mu.
Tuantuan was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
At the courthouse, when she was sentenced and taken away, she saw Song Mu among the jury. She seemed to be able to imagine how disappointed Song Mu was in her.
After that, Song Mu woulde to visit her regrly, but she avoided seeing him. She didnt want to see him again.
While Tuantuan was in jail, Le Xiao would send her viin daughter into the entertainment industry. With her power, she helped her daughter be famous and created opportunities for her daughter to meet with Song Mu. However, Song Mu didnt have the slightest interest in her daughter.
She was heartbroken every time her daughter woulde crying to her about how Song Mu ignored her. In order to help her daughter get the best in the world, she decided to devise an evil n in order to remove Song Mus male lead halo.
After checking the second male leads character, she decided to push him up to be the male lead instead. She began plotting to make Song Mu disappear from this world, and single-handedly nned the murder.
When Song Mu brought his crew to an African country to shoot a movie, he was kidnapped by a terrorist organization and was held for ransom.
Following Song Mus idental death, Tuantuans spiritual pir in this worldpletely copsed. Even after being released from prison, she was devastated. If not for the fact that her father had been disfigured and had his legs broken, she she may not even have the courage to stand again. But just a year after she took over thepany, even she herself was caught in an ident, bing disfigured and breaking her legs.
She sometimes wondered why God was so unjust. She killed someone by ident and had to go to jail for ten years. Even after being in for ten years, she still provided for the parents of the girl she killed by ident a decade ago as if they were her own parents. She was sincere in repenting, but no god was there to hear her pleas.
Finally, with broken legs and an ugly face, she lived out her life alone.
After Lin Yueqi wake up, it was just like before. She only remembered the gist of things and not all the details. Waking up from the nightmare, her entire body was shaking. Only after she woke up did she realize that a man was holding her, and fell asleep on her chest.
Seeing the man who was sleeping soundly in her arms, only then did Lin Yueqi get a sense of reality. Tears welled in her eyes. Holding Lu Tings head, she began to cry.
She felt extremely ufortable. Holding onto Lu Tings head, she gave it a fierce bite.
The man was woken up by the pain and lifted his eyelids to look at her. Miss Lins way of getting revenge against him really does get more and more powerful each time.
Ahem. Lu Ting cleared his throat.
Only then did Lin Yueqi let go. She stopped crying and began wiping her eyes.
Chapter 263 - Mama Doesn’t Love Pa
Chapter 263 C Mama Doesnt Love Pa
Lu Ting sat up, sleepiness still in his eyes. When he saw her crying like a kitten, he moved over to wipe her tears and coaxed her softly. I was just borrowing your chest to sleep on for a while, no need to be so stingy.
Lin Yueqi hung her head and continued rubbing her eyes, voice as quiet as a mosquito. Lu Ting, my heart hurts.
Whats wrong? Because of Tuantuan? Lu Ting looked at her with a tight frown and continued wiping her tears. Dont cry, it hurts my heart.
Looking up at the man, she blinked her wet eyes. After a pause, she said, Im not feeling hurt because of that. Its because of thatIm scared. Im worried that Tuantuan will be disliked in school and be ostracized. Im scared that shell be bullied
How could she? Youre overthinking it. Lu Tingforted her. Tuantuans our child. Who would dare to bully her? Whats more, there are teachers in school.
She shook her head and went on, What if they bully her behind the teachers backs? And what if the teachers were bullying here too?
Those words reminded Lu Ting.
Last week, Lu Ting attended a parent and child conference at school. He had seen Tuantuans teacher before and had some impression of her. He had the constant nagging feeling that the teacher looked familiar, as if hed seen her somewhere.
When Tuantuan wasining to him earlier, he didnt think of it, but what Lin Yueqi said now did.
He immediately took out his cell phone and asked the kindergarten director to send her information about Tuantuans ss teacher. After receiving the information, he passed it to his assistant and told him to investigate her.
After about fifteen minutes, the assistant came back with a reply, confirming that Tuantuans teacher, Le Xiao, was in fact Liu Tongs wife.
The reason Lu Ting left for Natures Big Storm was so he could lure out thepany spy. And, this Liu Tong, actually took high-level secrets from thepany as a high-ranking staff to sell to arge Americanpany. Even though the Qiancheng Group was a family business, they have been hiring people outside to take on the role of CEO.
Originally, with Liu Tongs qualifications, there would be no problem with him bing the Qiancheng Groups CEO. However, it was at this time that Lu Ting suddenly appeared.
He felt that he had done a lot for thepany but did not get the same return. So, he sold out hispany. When Lu Ting left his job to join the reality TV show, Natures Big Storm, Liu Tong took this opportunity to discredit him in front of the board of directors, to make the shareholders think that he was incapable.
However, it was because he was so anxious to prove himself that he exposed himself.
Subsequently, Liu Tong was fired. But this man never learned. After his job was gone, he went to Mara Ind to gamble, losing 90 million overnight, almost causing his wife and child to lose their house overnight. It was likely due to the pressure of this sudden fall that he killed himself.
As for why Tuantuan said those words, it was not hard to imagine. That was definitely not something a bunch of kids would talk about.
Lin Yueqi looked at him with red eyes. So you think that it was the teacher who taught the kids all that?
She suddenly shuddered. It was extremely easy for a teacher to skew the views of children without a proper sense of morality yet.
Lu Ting stroked her head and said softly, Just leave the matter to me, alright?
Lin Yueqi looked at him and nodded.
Probably because of how terrible she was feeling, she was choked up when she asked Lu Ting, Old Lu, I still feel very bad. Its like reading an abusive novel. I feel tormented. Can you give me a hug?
Lu Ting sat cross-legged on the bed facing her and spread his arms.
She didnt jump into the mans arms, but insteadid down directly on his crossed legs. She told him about the gist of what she saw in her dreams.
Even though the golden finger systems she mentioned from her dreams were unrealistic to Lu Ting, it still felt like a nightmare. Especially when Lin Yueqi mentioned Tuantuans end. A cold sadness inexplicably spread through his limbs.
As a father, he didnt care how much suffering he had to go through himself, but hearing his child in pain made it feel as if his heart wasying on top of pins and needles.
Chapter 264 - Mama Doesn’t Love Papa? (5)
Chapter 264 C Mama Doesnt Love Papa?(5)
As the girly on hisp, he stroked her small head over and over again, just like he was petting a little kitten. He was silent for a long time before he said, Stop crying. If you cry like this, Ill really feel hurt. Sleep. Ill watch over you tonight. Even if the sky copses, Ill hold it up for you.
Papa Lu Her voice was extremely quiet.
Hm?
Thank you.
Lu Ting smiled at her, petting her cheek. Sleep. Good night.
Mm
She nuzzled her cheek against Lu Tings thigh and soon fell asleep again. She slept all the way until dawn without any more nightmares.
Monday morning, 8:30
There were luxury cars parked all around the school entrance. The children who studied at A Citys Xichen International Primary School are all rich kids. Both the kindergarten and the primary school were built in the same ce, so the school had a very strong teaching staff. Children who go to school here canter go into Xichen Middle School, then the high school
The college admission rate of Xichen High was first in the country, which was even better than the Shuchuan High School where Lin Yueqi attended.
However, one was private and the other one was public. The children thate out from this school would all join the upper ss in the future.
Lu Ting also came from this school. Since he wanted to stay in the country more to apany his old man, he deliberately did poorly in his college entrance examination.. Even so, he still went to the most difficult finance university to get into, A University.
This school was also very strict in terms of what kindergarten teachers they hire.
Le Xiao graduated from a famous school and also majored in a rted subject. Even though she hadnt been working for a few years, she was smart. And, since what happened to her husband, she forced herself to learn a lot of things in a short time.
During the test for the selection of teachers for Xichuan, she passed sessfully and became one of Xichens kindergarten teachers.
Originally, Le Xiao did not cken after bing a kindergarten teacher, but it was the ckened Le Xiao from 25 yearster who transmigrated to this timeline.
On the first day after Le Xiao came back in time, she chose the Heavenly Fortune function. Within a day, her bank ount swelled with an extra hundred million and some.
The day she got the money, she bought a vi worth 40 million. In order to satisfy her daughters vanity, she had bought a sports car as well, which still left them with almost a hundred million still.
The entrance of the school was full of luxury cars. At this time, Le Xiao drove her daughter over in a sports car, driving into the campus using her identity as a teacher under the envy of countless parents.
After parking her car, she went down with her daughter and saw Tuantuan and her parents standing in the distance.
The six-year-old Liu Xue held her hand and bit her lip, saying, Mom, Lu Junyi has a handsome Papa, but I have nothing. Mama, am I not as good as her?
Nonsense. Le Xiaos eyes were filled with ruthless envy. Ah Xue, you have to remember that you have no idea how much better you arepared to that damned fatty. Lu Junyis father is the one who caused your fathers death. Her father is the one who killed your father. You have to remember what Mama says, Ah Xue. You are the only princess in this world. The Lu family is nothing. Remember to get on good terms with Song Mu. From now on, hold onto him tight and dont give Lu Junyi a single chance. Understand?
The girl nodded. Dont worry, Mama. I wont disappoint you! After all, Im the prettiest little princess in the world. That damn fatty is not my match! A Prince Charming like Mumu can only be mine! Also, our preschool is not far from Mumus first grade. I can still see him every day after school.
She was relieved to see that her daughter was so ambitious at such a young age.
In her previous life, Song Mus father began to go downhill after acting in Marriage Outrage, even quitting the entertainment to open a restaurant with his wife. And, Liu Xue thought too highly of herself, thinking that she was the most beautiful princess who could not match anyone, let alone Song Mu.
Until she was 15, she still turned up her nose at Song Mu, thinking that he wasnt rich. She aspired to marry into a real wealthy family.
Chapter 265 - FLNC Ch.265 Mama Doesn’t Love Papa? (6)
Chapter 265 C FLNC Ch.265 Mama Doesnt Love Papa?(6)
After that, she and SOng Mu got into the same university. Only then did she discover how good he was. She thought that an outstanding boy like her had to be matched with someone like her. But at that time, Song Mu already had Lu Junyi. Even though the two were not officially together, they were already recognized as a talented pair in school.
Liu Xue spent a lot of effort trying to break up the two of them, but that ended in failure.
Looking back at her daughters previous life, Le Xiao believed that the reason why Lu Junyi was able to snatch Song Mu away from her daughter was because she had a head start. So, after transmigrating back, she immediately instilled the idea that her daughter was not to marry anyone but Song Mu.
Her daughter wascking neither in appearance or talent to Lu Junyi. As long as her daughter built up a good rtionship with Song Mu from a young age, then there was nothing that girl Lu Junyi could do.
In preschool ss 1s math ss.
Tuantuan sat in the third row because she was tall. folding her two chubby arms on the table, she sat with a straight back while she listened intently to ss.
Right then, a ball of paper hit her.
She frowned and turned around to look at the boy sitting diagonally behind her. He even cut his eraser into small pieces, throwing it at Tuantuan.
Liu Xue, who was sitting in the first row, turned back to look at the scene behind her with undisguised smugness.
Tuantuan took the paper balls dropping onto the table and gathered them together, unfolding them one by one.
Only to see that it read:
Lu Junyis father is a murderer.
Lu Junyi is a big fatty.
Lu Junyi the ugly toad thinks shes in Swan Lake. Song Mu is only friends with you because your familys rich.
Lu Junyi will still be a big fatty when she grows up, hahaha.
Tuantuan bit her lips. Grabbing her pencil case, she threw it towards the little fatty, hitting him square in the face.
The little fatty let out a yelp, but Tuantuan raised her hand first. Teacher! Luo Panpan snatched away my pencil box!
The teacher turned around after she finished writing the equation on the board, wrinkling her brow. Luo Panpan! Go stand at the back and reflect on yourself!
Tuantuan shed a smug smile over to him.
About two minutester, the teacher stopped the lesson. Putting down the projection curtain, she began ying a news clip about Liu Xues fathers death.
The children in the girl all settled down. Their eyes were all drawn to the news. The host first broadcasted the current economic development of the Qiancheng Group before broadcasting in detail about an employee surnamed Liu. He sold out hispany and incurred a huge debt of 90 million. Unable to bear the burden, he jumped to his death.
In order to cultivate good habits in the children, the teachers would usually y some news. However, todays news were different from the usual ones.
Everyone recognized the man in the news clip. That was Liu Xues father.
During this time, the rumor going around was that Liu Xues dad was forced to jump because of Lu Junyis father. But after watching this clip, they all seemed to understand something.
A young boy suddenly said, Liu Xue, was that your dad? Why was your dad in debt? Seems like we all misunderstood Lu Junyis dad.
Everyone looked at Lu Junyi, then at Liu Xue who looked like Snow White.
The kids in ss were all chattering. All of them were wise kids from privileged families.
Owing so much money, does that mean you and Teacher Le are both very poor? Liu Xue, you can have Teacher Lee to my house to work. My father can pay Teacher Le a lot of money.
Our family is short in nannies. You can tell Teacher Le toe work as a nanny in our house! My mama really likes Teacher Le. Shell definitely pay her a lot of money.
Our family is short of cleaning girls
Our family iscking
Liu Xues face was red in anger. Our family isnt short of money! My mama just bought me a pretty dress. She even bought a sports car and a big vi! We have nannies at home too!
You really know how to brag, Liu Xue! Your dads already gone, how can your Mama afford a vi and a sports car?
Chapter 266 - FLNC Ch.266 Mama Doesn’t Love Papa? (7)
Chapter 266 C FLNC Ch.266 Mama Doesnt Love Papa?(7)
While the children were discussing, the kindergarten head walked in. The children all went silent.
The kindergarten head went straight up to Tuantuan, picking up the paper balls from her desk and checked each of them. After that, her sharp eyes stopped on the boy who was standing at the back.
In order to make an example, the kindergarten head punished the boy again publicly and called his parents in front of the whole ss.
The boy was also feeling extremely wronged. Not only was he punished by the teacher, but even the kindergarten head. And now even his parents were calledQAQ
For these little children, there was nothing worse than having their parents called. So, the children were all aware of the seriousness of this incident.
After that, the children who misunderstood Tuantuan all lined up to apologize to her, fearing that their parents would be called as well.
Just after ss at noon, Le Xiao was called to the kindergarten heads office to be informed that she had been fired.
Le Xiao was shocked. Director, I work so hard and I never make mistakes. Why am I being fired?
The kindergarten head said, Ms. Le, you did not control the rumors circting around the ss properly. That in itself is a mistake. I have reason to suspect that you were the one who taught the children to say such words. Youre mixing up your public and private life. Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lin came this time to have a talk with me. Its all thanks to their generosity that they did not intend to take up the matter with you. Otherwise, your career path will only be more difficult in the future. That is all. You can go now.
Le Xiaoughed out of anger. Very well! You think Ill be scared just because you fired me? Kindergarten Head, arent you just bullying people like me because Lu Ting has money and power? Hah! Youre acting high and mighty, but dont you just want to go and kneel to Lu Ting and lick his boot?
The kindergarten head was pissed. Ms. Le! Youre a teacher, how could you say such a thing?
The Teacher Le in front of her seemed to bepletely different from the gentle and kind Teacher Le from a few days ago.
Le Xiao scoffed and rolled her eyes at the kindergarten head. Im sure you know right and wrong very well in your heart.
Then, she left the office.
When she walked out, she just so happened to bump into Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi. When she saw their faces, she just wanted to rip them apart.
All sorts of things that happened in the past life just floated up in her vision again. She really wanted nothing more than to strangle them.
But she had been reborn after all. She had the support of the system, so she doesnt believe that she wont be able to ruin them. Thinking of this, she calmed herself and smiled at the two of them.
However, Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi ignored her the whole time and just brushed her by, entering the kindergarten heads office.
Considering that Tuantuan and Liu Xue were in the same ss, the two girls were sure to see each other every day. One was the second generation female lead while the other was the viin. It was inevitable that conflict would arise. In order to avoid the two girls fighting and bothering each other, they decided to have Tuantuan skip a grade and go directly into first grade.
With Tuantuans level of genius, skipping a grade would be nothing.
At five in the afternoon, school ended for the children.
Tuantuan being bullied in school made Lin Yueqis heart palpitate in fear. She remembered that dream and was worried that some extreme ideas would really sprout in Tuantuans mind.
After much consideration, she said to Lu Ting, Old Lu, Im going to Haigang City next month to attend a film festival. Im thinking of bringing Tuantuan as well so we can spend more time together. As far as I remember, I havent really had fun with Tuan-jie. When Tuan-jie mentioned she was being bullied, she didnt even dare to show the slightest bit of upset in front of us. She just smiled. I thought about it very carefully. For a half-grown child like her, she never cries when shes supposed to, and never makes a fuss. She just smiled. The more I think about it, the more scared I amIm scared that shell break down one day.
Chapter 267 - FLNC Ch.267 Mama Doesn’t Love Papa? (8)
Chapter 267 C FLNC Ch.267 Mama Doesnt Love Papa?(8)
I was so worried that such a young child like her would break down that day, so I want to spend more time with her, get inside her more. I want her to know that she has my shoulder to lean on. That she doesnt have to be so independent.
After hearing her words, Lu Ting was silent for a while. Ill go with you.
Tuantuan was in a good mood today since her Papas usations have been cleared.
With her school bag on her back, she came out from school to see Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi. Excitedly, she ran over to Lu Ting, hugging his thigh and calling him Papa.
As usual, Lu Ting picked Tuantuan up and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Lin Yueqi stood on her tiptoes and gave her a kiss on the cheek as well.
Tuantuan was obviously not satisfied with this. She poked Lu Tings lips with her short and chubby fingers, speaking in a cute voice. Mama, you kissed Tuantuan, so you have to kiss Papa too. Its only fair.
Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting looked at each other.
The two of them exchanged nces. After a few seconds, one of them pouted their mouth with tacit understanding, and the other leaned over.
While holding Tuantuan, Lu Ting leaned down to peck Lin Yueqis soft lips.
Probably due to the fact that they were in public, they couldnt help but smile. Lin Yueqi felt that this kind of kiss was strange and she couldnt help butugh out loud, spittlending on Lu Tings face.
Lu Ting, Cant we have a proper kiss?
As if reading the mans eyes, Lin Yueqi cupped his face. While wiping it, she said, Sorry, sorry. I couldnt hold back just now. Lets try this again.
The ignored Tuantuan, ?? With an expressionless face, she sighed helplessly and twiddled her thumbs.
Lin Yueqi cupped Lu Tings face with deep and sincere emotion. With a glisten in her eyes, she went on her toes and puckered her lips again.
Lu Ting leaned down to kiss her.
Since people were constantly walking around in the kindergarten, she couldnt hold back andughed, spitting on his face again. Pahahaha! Im sorry, Old Lu! I really didnt mean to do this!
Lu Ting, Miss Lin, please be nice. ??
Tuantuan really couldnt stand this anymore. Holding Lin Yueqis face, she kissed her on the lips, then also held her Papas face and kissed him on the lips too.
Then, Tuantuan made an OK gesture. OK, kiss over. Lets go home!
After they got in the car, Lin Yueqi moved to Lu Tings ear, whispering, Old Lu, we should practice at night. Then we can kiss better next time.
Lu Ting, His girlfriend is probably a fake.
She didntugh when she asked for a French kissst time.
Heh. Women.
Le Xiao had just picked up her child from school.
Her daughter, Liu Xue, wasining about how the teacher had put the news on today and made her lose face. Le Xiao was about tofort her daughter when the system prompt rang in her ear.
Ding~ The female leads family of three gains 2 family intimacy points. You will be punished by losing 2 intimacy points with your daughter. Also, spend the added 100 million within half a month or you will be an old woman for 10 minutes, and be beaten as a monster for 5 minutes. Please spend the money carefully and do not vite the rules.
Le Xiao also did not expect the system to have punishments for her.
Wasnt it just losing 2 points of intimacy value with her daughter? Thats nothing. Blood is thicker than water. She didnt believe that her daughter would hate her. And what kind of punishment is it to spend 100 million in a month?
There were many rules for what she spent the money on, and it was impossible to spend all of that money in a normal way. The rules also state that she couldnt donate the money. ButShe can go to Haigang City to gamble!
With that in mind, Le Xiao immediately booked a ticket to Haigang City.
Chapter 268 - FLNC Ch.268 Can’t you be a little romantic? (1)
Chapter 268 C FLNC Ch.268 Cant you be a little romantic?(1)
The Viins Mother Counterattack has a total of three functions, and Le Xiao chose the Heavenly Fortune function. Based on the systems instructions, she had to spend the 100 million within a month, otherwise she will be punished by turning into an old woman for 10 minutes, then being beaten up as a monster for 5 minutes.
Once she remembered her old, decrepit self from her previous life, she shuddered.
There were harsh conditions on what she could spend the money on. Since she had to spend all of it, it couldnt be spent on any investments, nor could she donate any of it. Moreover, the things she buys have to cost as much as its worth. She couldnt just pay a lot for something cheap.
She couldnt buy a house or a storefront, couldnt invest the money, and even the cars she buys were restricted. She could only buy one car. And, since she had already bought a sports car, there was no way she could buy another one. Things like jewelry and limited edition luxury bags were limited to one set per month. however, she had already bought all of these things for herself.
In other words, she actually faced a lot of trouble when it came to spending all of the 100 million in this month. There were limitations everywhere. Even if she thought to the point where her mind was bursting, she still couldnt figure out how she was going to spend the money within the rules.
After thinking about it, she decided to go to Haigang City and gamble the money.
There was a gambling town on Mara Ind just outside of Haigang City. It was the best gambling spot for the wealthy people of this country. The owner of that casino was a man called Mr. Si, and Mara Ind was his own private territory. This Mr. Si also had money and status. Le Xiao had already heard about him in her previous life.
In her previous life, Le Xiao had oncetched onto a rich man. She heard the rich man mention Mrs. Si, and it was said that this Mr.Si only sees customers who spend more than 100 million. He never stepped out of his office to meet small customers.
And, this Mr. Si was not only young and rich, he was what is known as a golden bachelor Of course, the harem of a man such as he would definitely be innumerable.
In her previous life, Le Xiao always wanted to get to know this Mr. Si, but she never had the opportunity. Now, with this 100 million, would she still have to worry about not being able to meet this Mr. Si?
For a Golden Cave like casinos, only the minority was able to win any money. Otherwise, her husband, Liu Tong, would not have lost 90 million overnight and be in debt. The spending rules did not restrict her from gambling. That was to say, she could safely lose the 100 million through gambling.
And, if she doesnt spend all 100 million, she would turn into an old woman and be beaten up as a monster. And, it would be no loss to her even if she spends all of the 100 million.
This 100 million was a heavenly fortune, and not money that she had gotten from hard work, so she didnt care about it. Right now, she had her vi, her cars, her jewelry, and other luxuries, so she wasnt worried if she wouldnt have money to spend for a while. Whats more, if she could lose the 100 million, she could enter a higher ss and meet the legendary Mr. Si, so why not?
With that in mind, Le Xiao made up her mind to go to Haigang City, and booked a ticket to visit the city on the first day of the next month.
Chapter 269 - FLNC Ch.269 Can’t you be a little romantic? (2)
Chapter 269 C FLNC Ch.269 Cant you be a little romantic?(2)
Haigang City was the only city in the country where gambling was not restricted. And, there were countless privately-owned inds outside of this Haigang City. These private inds were close to Haigang City, but they werent within the countrys territory.
Mara Ind was one of thergest of the private inds, and endless amounts of money goes through the private luxury casino there. This ind was not only a casino, but also a tourist destination. It was a must-visit on the travel ns of local tourists.
This time, Lin Yueqi also carefully made a travel n on her trip to attend the film festival in Haigang City.
After attending the film festival, she nned to visit the amusement park in Haigang City. This amusement park was thergest amusement park in the country, and it would take three or four days for their family of three to try everything out. Immediately after that, theyll go out to sea and visit Mara Ind.
They say that Mara Ind had nice beaches and blue waters. There was a big luxury casino built on the ind, and the resort hotel was also top-notch.
But since the ind was private territory, a reservation in advance was required in order to visit.
Xiao Ke had been making reservations for her for several days, using not only her name, but also Lu Tings, but they still said that they had no spots avable.
Lin Yueqi looked up a strategy on the inte and found that if the guests werent there for gambling, then any tourists nning a visit had to apply online, even requiring a video interview to go with it.
Lin Yueqi, Why does it feel as if she were trying to enter another country? If not for how they unt Mara Inds scenery online, then she wouldnt have thought of going to such a big-name attraction spot.
She was currently doing the interview in the study with Mara Inds staff when Lu Ting came in wearing home clothes after his shower. When he approached the desk to see her doing the interview with Mara Ind, he shut herptop with a snap.
Old Lu, what are you doing? Im halfway through the interview process!
No need. I have a gold card so we can just go directly to the ind.
Lin Yueqi opened theputer again and carefully checked the rules of Mara Ind, looking at him apprehensively. No? I dont see anything about a gold card here. When I asked Xiao Ke to apply for me, it didnt work even if we used your name. Say, youre the grandson of the richest man in the country after all, so why are you so pitiful? That gold card or whateverIts not something you made up just so save face, is it?
Holding up her jaw with one hand, she casually slid her fingers across herptop touchpad with her other hand.
Lu Ting coughed lightly and asked rhetorically, If one day the Qiancheng Group were to go bankrupt, would you throw me away?
Oh, I already thought about that. Lin Yueqi began counting on her fingers and said, If you go bankrupt someday, and I can no longer act, I still have a few houses and I can build supermarkets. My Yueqi Supermarket business is doing quite good and Im getting stable ie from it now. But since youre so hardworking and motivated, family-oriented even, I dont mind providing for you instead. Its okay if your cooking isnt great, I can still handle it. You can be in charge of washing the dishes, washing the clothes, mopping the floor, and doing the general cleaning. Also, I also have a n for the worst-case scenario. If even my supermarket goes bankrupt, its fine. We still have a house in the countryside with my aunt. The environment in the rural area is quite good.
The roads are open now in the old vige and its now a tourist attraction. Both the environment and the air is good. When the timees, you can have your grandma join my aunt in the countryside to retire. He can nt some flowers, y chess, or even mahjong with the other old men in the vigeFor Tuantuans sake, we should work hard. As long as were willing to work, well definitely be able to survive! Dont worry.
Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Ting leaned down to take her lips.
The mans hair was wet, and the water was dripping down like beads of sweat. From this close distance, she could clearly smell the nice fragranceing off the man.
It was a faint smell, yet it felt calming.
Lin Yueqi was unprepared for the sudden kiss, so she bit the mans lip out of instinct.
Lu Ting winced and let out a stifled grunt.
Even if you want to practice, shouldnt you warn me first? Are you trying to scare me to death?
Lu Ting, Cant you be a little romantic?
Chapter 270 - FLNC Ch.270 Can’t you be a little romantic? (3)
Chapter 270 C FLNC Ch.270 Cant you be a little romantic?(3)
Li Xing always uses him of having no romance cells in him, but he didnt think Ms. Lin was any differentpared to him.
While saying that, Lin Yueqi opened her mouths and moved over again with the intention to bite his lip. This time, Lu Ting had learned his lesson. He quickly straightened his back and stepped back.
But Lin Yueqi still didnt show him mercy. She jumped up and curled her arms around his neck, hopping up to circle around his waist. Worried that she would fall, Lu Ting immediately put his hands underneath to support her.
With a p, she sped Lu Tings face.
Because of how much force she put into the hit, the mans slightly-tanned cheeks immediately turned red as if he had been pped. Immediately after that, Lin Yueqi leaned down and bit him on the lips. Her teeth opened and closed, again and again as if she were gnawing on something.
When she saw the frown forming between his brows, she snorted inughter. While helping him smooth out the crease, she said, I used to be quite afraid of your frowny face when I wasnt close with you in the past. It was scary. But now, your frowny face just looks so damn cute!
When he red at her, Lin Yueqi immediately changed hernguage. Cut the damn. I mean to say youreSuper cute.
Very good. Ms. Lin would always retaliate against him with such sweet means, making it hard to tell whether he was being pped or soothed. he also couldnt tell whether he was being bitten or kissed.
Just as the frown on his brow was creasing up again, the girl kissed him again. First a small peck, then slowly escting to a gentle lick.
This time, it felt like there were feathers gently brushing across his heart. It itched so bad that it was hard to bear. In an instant, a fire was ignited. He ced the girl on the desk and held her down, kissing her lips.
Just as his mind was bing muddled, wanting to kiss her chin, her jaw, and further downHe suddenly received a p on the head and a stern warning. Lu Ting, cant you kiss people normally?! Put some heart into it! If you keep going on like this, then Tuan-jie will misunderstand and think were just acting!
He really wanted to put his heart into it, but he was a man that really wanted to put it to the groin.
Lin Yueqi did not know what love is, but she also envied the rtionships people had where they received gifts, flowers, and sweet words from their lovers. She knew that Lu Ting was a big bore and didnt expect him to do too much in their rtionship. She just hoped that he could properly practice a kiss with her.
Kissing was the sweetest thing lovers could do in her mind, but it was the most torturous thing for Lu Ting.
Men and women were built differently. Women liked to stay around the romance zone, but men often get carried away by their bodily urges.
Lu Ting didnt dare to kiss her again and instead changed the topic. Im familiar with Haigang City, so no need to make ns. You should go to bed early. Dont you have amercial shoot to do tomorrow?
Havent you been overseas the whole time beforeing back? How familiar can you be with Haigang City?
Ahem. Lu Ting tickled the tip of her nose and teased, What? Am I not allowed to do business and visit Haigang City for business trips?
Lin Yueqi shook her legs at the desk, reaching out to grab his ear. So Im really going to stop, alright? Ill leave it all to you? Dont tell me our trips going to turn into a hotel tour after this.
It wont. Lu Ting pressed his forehead on hers andughed. Dont worry.
On the first day of the month, Lin Yueqis family boarded the ne to Haigang City.
Tuantuan was wearing a yellow fishermans hat and had a cute yellow backpack, running all over to the ne with her short little legs.
This was Tuantuans first time going somewhere far away on a ne. Going from Shuchuan to A City previously did not count. After all, Haigang City was more special. For a child, it was equivalent to a trip abroad. she was invited by the stewardess to enter the first-ss cabin. After finding her own seat, she saw two acquaintances on the second row.
Chapter 271 - FLNC Ch.271 Can’t you be a little romantic? (4)
Chapter 271 C FLNC Ch.271 Cant you be a little romantic?(4)
The man sitting on the outer sit immediately grabbed the hats of his and the girls next to him when he saw her, covering their faces in one quick and concise motion.
Tuantuan had already rushed on over to the third row. When she realized that something was wrong, she turned back again.
The girl stood on her tiptoes and reached out to grab the hat of the man who was covering his face, but the man would rather die than give up. He even raised his voice into a high pitch like a woman. Oh my, whose child is this? Take her away! Quickly take her away!
Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi quickly came over. When they saw this scene, Lin Yueqi quickly picked up the chubby little girl, stuffing her to Lu Ting behind her.
She apologized to the man with an apologetic expression. Im sorry, mister. Its my childs first time on a trip so shes excited. Im really sorry, shes a naughty one.
The man was silent for a while, but then he answered as if he were holding his voice back on purpose. His voice sounded extremely shrill. Okay okay, youre forgiven, now quickly take your child away!
There were only two seats on each side of the first-ss cabin.
They were in the fourth row.
Lin Yueqi put TUantuan in the window seat, then she and Lu Ting sat on the aisle seat. After the ne took off, she stretched out her neck and clicked her tongue at the man who was reading a magazine to catch his attention.
When he heard the noise, Lu Ting turned around to look at her, right eyebrow slightly raised.
Lin Yueqi covered her mouth and whispered, Old Lu, dont you think that sissy from the second row looks a bit familiar?
Hm. Lu Ting subconsciously peered at the second row. From his angle, he could only see the tip of the mans shoe. With a scoff, he said to her, I think you should ask your daughter that question instead.
Lin Yueqi immediately turned her head to look at the fat girl beside her.
Tuantuan had her arms crossed and was stroking her chin like Sherlock Holmes. Mama, ording to my Chubby Tuans years of experience in investigating cases, that strange uncle from just now should be Uncle Li. And, the girl whose face he was blocking with the hat should be Old Cheng.
Lin Yueqi, ?? What kind of divine development was this? Why cant she understand it anymore?
Tuantuan covered her mouth and whispered to her. Mama, I think that Uncle Li is trying to chase after Old Cheng. Last time, he took us to the amusement park for Old Chengs birthday. Then, when I went to buy ice cream, I saw him whispering to Old Cheng. He told her he will bring her to an amusement park in Haigang City next time. He said hell only bring her and not me. Heheh. What a stingy guy. Stupid Uncle Li. If he brought me, I would have been able to help him!
Lu Ting looked like he couldnt stop himself fromughing. Covering his mouth with his hand, he coughed lightly and continued reading his magazine.
Four hourster, the nended at Haigang City International Airport.
When it was time to get off, Li Xing grabbed Jiang Mu Cheng who was deep asleep and prepared to flee from the ne.
Jiang Mucheng rubbed her sleepy eyes and muttered, Xingxing, what are you doing? Old Chen wants to sleep
The girl was clutching her ckptop with one hand while she was being dragged by the man. She shrunk into the corner formed by the chair and the cabin wall, not leaving no matter what. Right at that moment, Tuantuan rushed over with her little backpack and grabbed Li Xings legs. Wow! Uncle Li! Why are you here? What! A! Coincidence!
Li Xing,
He turned around to see Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi andughed dryly at them. Oh! Old Lu! And your wife! Oh my, and here we have our cute little Tuantuan as well. You were on this ne too? What a coincidence!
Lu Ting nodded without ripping up his lie. Yeah. What a coincidence.
Lin Yueqi went over to greet Jiang Mucheng. Old Cheng! What a coincidence!
When she saw Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan, Jiang Muchengs little eyes immediately lit up. She stood up and spread her arms open to hug them. After hugging Lin Yueqi and Tuantuan, she continued turning around and gave Li Xing a silly hug as well. Xingxing, your surprise is amazing~
Li Xing was almost in tears. This wasnt supposed to be his surprise!
Chapter 272 - FLNC Ch.272 Can’t you be a little romantic? (5)
Chapter 272 C FLNC Ch.272 Cant you be a little romantic?(5)
To make things worse, he was actually caught by his best friend during his trip with Jiang Mucheng to Haigang City. So, was he going to jail for abducting a fool now?
Lu Ting quickly tried to resolve the awkward situation. Come on, lets go out together.
After getting off the ne, Lin Yueqi, Tuantuan, and Jiang Mucheng were walking at the front.
Li Xing and Lu Ting were at the back, holding all the luggage.
Lu Ting asked, When did it start?
Dont misunderstand. Li Xing clearly appeared quite embarrassed. He scratched his head and said in a low voice, Old Cheng won a pair of tickets to Haigang Amusement park from a drink contest, the type that includes airfare. I was thinking that since I used to be her boss, then Id be a fool if I didnt take advantage of this opportunity, right?
What? Is yourpany so poor now that Li Xiujie is gone? Lu Ting shot him a stare.
Li Xing conceded and exined frankly, I just felt bad for her! It was her birthdayst time and she made a wish. Can you guess what it was?
What?
She wished that people would stop calling her a fool. Li Xing sighed. You know how it is, I just blurt out my thoughts sometimes. I didnt think it would hurt her so much. Its not like its her fault she turned into an idiot from shock. Thats why I thought Idpensate her.
I never knew that Mr. Li had such a kind heart. Lu Ting patted him on the shoulder. I may not be as good as you when ites to chasing after a girl, but at least Ive got more guts than you do.
Li Xing was a smart man. He quickly caught up to Lu Ting and whispered, Bro, you know Ive never asked you for anything, even until this age, and I know I cant hide it from you either, butJust pretend you never saw us, alright? You know what that old witch back at my house is like. If she knew that I treat Old Cheng differently from other people, what do you think will happen?
Lu Ting nced at him and nodded.
Li Xings mother was ruthless, and she may not be able to ept ordinary girls. Especially not special girls like Jiang Mucheng.
Li Xing also breathed a sigh of relief and caught up to the others.
To Lin Yueqis surprise, Li Xing and Jiang Mucheng booked the same hotel as them, and on the same floor too.
Once they arrived at their floor, Lin Yueqis family of three watched as Li Xing brought Jiang Mucheng into the same room as him. They all stood behind the two of them, staring hard as Li Xing unlocked the door.
Li Xing felt chills from their staring. Once he opened the door, he exined, Dont look at me as if Im some kind of beastIts a suite, a two-room suite. Old Lu knows what kind of guy I am. Im definitely not the kind of beast who would abduct and trick a little girl!
Even though Jiang Mucheng couldnt understand what Li Xing was saying, she still shook her head and said sincerely, Xingxing is not a beast.
Li Xing felt chills from being stared at by the three of them. He added, If you really dont believe me, then here. Tuantuan, Lin Yueqi, you can share a room with Old Cheng. Ill share a room with Old Lu.
Okay! Tuantuan can sleep with Old Cheng again! The chubby girl went on her tiptoes and took the card from Li Xings hand.
Lin Yueqi took her luggage from Lu Ting and said, Thats decided then. Tuantuan, Old Cheng, and I will share a room. You two share the other one.
Lu Ting did not show much expression and just nodded. Mhm.
Tuantuan flew a kiss at Lu Ting. Good night Papa. You have to sleep properly okay? Dont keep looking at yourputer.
Aright. His gaze fell on Lin Yueqis face and he said in a soft voice, Call me if you need anything.
Lin Yueqi made an OK gesture at him.
Once the door to room 2406 was shut, Lu Ting turned around and gave Li Xing a kick on the shin.
Being suddenly kicked by him, Li Xing was dumbfounded. ?? Old Lu, what the hell? You eat gunpowder or something? Why are you so cranky?
He dragged his luggage into the room with Lu Ting, and only then did he realize why Lu Ting was so pissed off.
It was a specially decorated room.
Chapter 273 - FLNC Ch.273 Can’t you be a little romantic? (6)
Chapter 273 C FLNC Ch.273 Cant you be a little romantic?(6)
There was a single room just for children, decorated in a fairytale design, filled with all the chubby girls favorite cartoons. On the other side was the parents room, which was decorated in standard couple design.
As soon as he went inside, Li Xing almost stepped on the roses. With a yelp, he retracted his foot.
There was an arrow on the ground formed with rose petals. Going further into the parents bedroom, he could see rose petalsid out in the shape of a heart on the bed. There were even lit candles burning outside on the balcony.
The light came in through the ss window dimly, adding on a flirtatious ambiguity to the room.
When Li Xing put aside his luggage and opened the door, a cluster of petals fell from the sky, scattering all over him. Outside on the balcony was a candlelit dinner with two chairs facing opposite each other, at the center of it a dainty swan cake. Even further beyond that was a sky pool.
The city lights downstairs were reflected from beneath the sky pool like stars in the milky way.
When he saw such a romantic scene, Li Xing was moved to tears. If he were a woman, then he would have given his body to Lu Ting. He was so moved that he was speechless. Sitting down, he began eating cake.
Old Lus marriage proposal attempt was deemed to be a failure tonight. There were desserts and cakes prepared in the other room too, and they were even more sumptuous than what Old Lu prepared. Lin Yueqi and the others were probably enjoying themselves already, so they wouldnt even think ofing over here to eat cake.
With that thought, the hungry Li Xing began working on the cake.
With a plunk, something seemed to slide down his throat. It was cold, and a little hard? Li Xing thought that it was some crushed ice in his mouth, but when he spat it out, he realized it was a diamond ring.
Lu Ting had juste out after putting away his luggage, only to see Li Xing spitting out the ring in the balcony.
Their eyes met.
Li Xing felt chills from being stared at by him. He immediately raised his hands. I know, Im done for. Ill jump into the pool and end my own life
Before Lu Ting could even kick him, he consciously jumped into the pool.
The next day, during breakfast.
When Lin Yueqi saw the dark shadow around Li Xings eye, he wondered, Huh? Whats wrong with your eyes, Li Xing?
Oh Li Xing grinned awkwardly. I identally fell downst night.
Tuantuan stuffed some pork into her mouth and gave him a thumbs-up, praising, Uncle Li, youre amazing! I didnt know you could get a panda eye from falling down!
Jiang Mucheng reached out to touch his bruised eye, asking in worry, Xingxing, does it hurt? Old Cheng will blow it for you, okay?
Li Xing immediately looked like a poor puppy wagging its tail. Yeah, it hurts a lot.
Jiang Mucheng leaned over to blow it for him, blowing carefully each time.
Lin Yueqi nudged Lu Ting with her elbow and asked in a whisper, Is Li Xing serious?
Seems like it.
From the dream, Lin Yueqi learned that even though the Revenge Script received a makeover, it would still be affected by her positive career energy when she reached her peak and self-destruct. When that happens, Jiang Mucheng would go back to normal.
Li Xing used to mock Jiang Mucheng a lot, and the current Jiang Mucheng didnt know what it meant to hate someone. However, things may not be the same once she goes back to normal.
Once Jiang Mucheng goes back to normal, will the two of them still be able to share such a good rtionship? Probably not.
At Haigang Citys film festival, where all the top stars in the country gathered.
Le Xiao was also restricted from going to Mara Ind because her husband, Liu Tong, was cklisted by them. So, she listed her name down as Zhuang Boshan instead, boss of Maice Media. After the film festival, she, her daughter, and Zhuang Boshan, as well as several other stars will go to Mara Ind together to gamble.
Coincidentally, she and Zhuang Boshan were sitting directly behind LIn Yueqis family of three. Lu Ting was dressed in a suit while Lin Yueqi was wearing a modest white dress. The chubby little girl Tuantuan was also beautifully dressed in a white princess dress.
Chapter 274 - FLNC Ch.274 Can’t you be a little romantic? (7)
Chapter 274 C FLNC Ch.274 Cant you be a little romantic?(7)
Not only was Lu Tings family of three in front of them, but also Song Renze and his son, Song Mu.
Song Renze was also in a suit, while his son, Song Mu, was in a smaller one. He and Tuantuan were sitting next to each other. The boy was seated with a straight back and an aloof expression.
Le Xiao swept a nce at the family of three, the hatred in her eyes unable to extinguish. Zhuang Boshan noticed her undisguised gaze and reminded her, You should watch yourself. You dont have to hate someone so openly. Their familys here for a show tonight, and the big show is still waiting for them.
Zhuang Boshan was Lin Yueqis old boss who once broke his contract with her in order to sign with Qin Xue. After Lin Yueqi became famous, Zhuang Boshan tried to sign Lin Yueqi back, but he was disastrously rejected.
When Qin Xue failed miserably and turned into herter appearance, the matter couldnt be removed from Lin Yueqi. After Qin Xues copse, Maice was implicated, and their stock prices kept on falling and falling. Zhuang Boshan decided that Lin Yueqi wanted to get back at Maice using Lu Tings power, so he saw her as an enemy.
Le Xiaos daughter, Liu Xue, also saw Tuantuan. She deliberately said aloud, Mama, Lu Junyis dress is the same as mine!
Le Xiao did not say anything. She was watching the family of three from the corner of her eye.
But Zhuang Boshan took the little girls chin and teased, Oh? Little cutie. Youre so pretty, who would dare to wear the same dress as you? Besides you, all others are just imitations!
Other people were afraid of the Lu family, but he, Zhuang Boshan, was not.
Lu Ting was just a rich second generation without any ability, relying on his ancestors money. He had the Qiancheng Group in his hands, but he may not be able to survive for a long time.
Lu Tings ears moved when he heard that, but he didnt turn around.
He was a petty person, so he was definitely going to remember this. If he remembered correctly, Zhuang Boshan invited several friends to join him in gambling on the ind tonight.
It didnt matter whether the debt was settled sooner orter.
When Tuantuan heard Liu Xues voice in the back room, she looked back, but then she hung her head. She clutched the hem of her skirt in shame, tip of her chin almost sinking into her corbone.
Lin Yueqi noticed Tuantuans actions and turned back to look at Le Xiao and her daughter.
She patted Tuantuans back and leaned down to ask, Whats wrong?
Liu Xues dress is the same as mine, but shes skinny and pretty. I dont look as good as her. Tuantuans voice was very quiet as she said that, as if she was feeling very ashamed.
Lin Yueqi whispered words of encouragement to her. Silly girl. Pretty clothes can look the same, but the people wearing the clothes are always different. You two have different figures so you can unt different styles. Isnt that a good thing for clothes? And why should you feel inferior because of a dress? Money can buy the same clothes, but money cant buy talent and character. These are what truly makes a person, and they are the clothes that truly adorn you.
Well Tuantuan felt that her Mamas words made a lot of sense, so she nodded. Mama has a point. Tuantuan will learn and get better every day! Tuantuan will have a dress that is the one and only and most unique one in this world, only for Tuantuan!
Yeah! Lin Yueqi stroked the childs head and turned back to look at Le Xiao, exchanging looks with her.
Tuantuans dress was specially tailored just for her. As for why Le Xiao had the same one, she couldnt help but think about it.
This woman truly is ruthless. She was clearly aiming for Tuantuans self-confidence.
Based on traditional beauty values, Liu Xue was better than Tuantuan in her outer appearance. Even though Tuantuan was cute, she was on the heavy side.
It was inevitable that they wouldpare with each other when two little girls wore the same dress. And, they were raised with the traditional beauty standards, so Tuantuan would definitely feel ashamed.
When she thought of this, Lin Yueqi clenched her fists, causing her knuckles to crack.
Chapter 275 - FLNC Ch.275 Can’t you be a little romantic? (8)
Chapter 275 C FLNC Ch.275 Cant you be a little romantic?(8)
Mumu who was sitting next to Tuantuan acting cool the whole time lightly coughed and whispered to Tuantuan, Tuantuan, youre the prettiest one in my heart. Youre even more beautiful than the roasted pork my mama makes.
Tuantuan tilted her head and asked him, Mumu, didnt you say you were going to act cool tonight? Why did you stop? And how beautiful is your mamas roast pork? Ive never seen it before
Mumu said, Its beautiful, thats all you have to know. Okay, no more talking. The cameras on me and I dont look cool anymore.
Tuantuan hummed in response and pursed her lips. She also sat up straight like Song Mu.
The actions of the two children amused the adults at the side. Lin Yueqi leaned over to Lu Tings side and whispered, Old Lu, look at how good your daughters future boyfriend is at talking.
Lu Ting humphed coldly. I dont see how good it is.
I say Lin Yueqi pounded his shoulder with her head. Why are you so hostile towards other peoples children?
Are you able to endure having your beautiful cabbage ravaged by a pig? Lu Ting snorted. I didnt think Ms. Lin had that generosity.
Now, who do you think youre talking about? Mumu is a good child. Hes so young but already so prim and proper While saying that, Lin Yueqi nced at Song Mu.
Lu Ting, A proper pig, you mean.
Lin Yueqi, Papa Lu, cant we have a proper conversation anymore?
The two were whispering to each other when they began to announce the best actress for the 4xth Haigang International Film Festival on the stage.
A total of 6 actresses were shortlisted for the Golden Crow Award for Best Actress, of which Lin Yueqi was among.
Even though Fat Girl Mama was a huge sess at the box office, she didnt dare to have too much confidence in her acting skills. She couldnt act at all and just went along with it blindly. Until now, she didnt even have the courage to go to the cinema to see her own movie.
Being shortlisted with her poor acting skills was a blessing in itself.
Following that, the award-presenting guest began to announce, The winner of the Best Actress award on the 4xth Haigang International Film Festival is
The one who gained 25 kilos just for the role, portraying a normal mother in both blood and soul with her superb acting skills. She is the hot mother respected byizens as a natural beautyLin Yueqi!
Under the tense music, the atmosphere was pushed to a climax. A beam of light fell on the expressionless Lu Ting, and his figure was shown on the screen.
The staff made a mistake and immediately moved the lights a bit to the side to Lin Yueqi instead.
Lin Yueqi was dumbfounded. ?? What?
She looked around, thinking that they made a mistake.
At the same time, the audience in the live stream were allughing when they saw the confused look on Lin Yueqis face.
LOLOLOL, Qiqis dumbfounded face looks so cute!
My Qiqis beauty is forever! I simply cant believe that the one ying the fat mother was her!
Thats right, its you, Qiqi! Quickly go on stage and get your award! From now on, you are the queen of the silver screen! Hahahaha!
I wonder if Qiqis old boss will cry when he sees this. Maice abandoned Lin Yueqi for Qin Xue back then. Shouldnt they be dying of regret now? Spring has finallye for Lin Yueqi! From now on, my Qiqi will be the Film Empress!
Hahaha, the camera shed past Zhuang Boshans face just now! I canugh to death just from his expression alone! pping the original bosss face! Pa pa!
When she went on stage to say her eptance speech, she was still confused. Patting her chest, she cleared her throat. UmThis is a surprise. Imamazed. I dont know what to say. Thank you to the director, and thank you to all the actors and actresses I worked with. Of course, the one I have to thank the most is my daughter, Tuantuan. If not for her, I wouldnt be able toe this far. Shes just like a little sun, enveloping me and helping me persevere until now. She was there for me at my most difficult time, when millions turned me away.
Chapter 276 - FLNC Ch.276 Can’t you be a little romantic? (9)
Chapter 276 C FLNC Ch.276 Cant you be a little romantic?(9)
She raised her trophy and said to the girl under the stage, Tuantuan, you have to remember! Its the glory that you get from your achievements that be your most magnificent clothes!
Everyone under the stage apuded, and Tuantuan felt inexplicably hot-eyed.
She raised her chubby little hand to rub her red and swollen eyes, nodding hard. At once, she was able to walk out from her shame.
Her mama was right. Only the glory of ones efforts is the most magnificent clothes for them. She didnt have to care too much about everything else.
But of course, Lin Yueqi had to raise Lu Tings stinky feet too with such a good opportunity. She raised the trophy again and said, I also have to thank Papa Lu. When I was at my lowest point, you appeared and pulled me up. Youre the cutest person Ive ever met!
The award-presenting guest, Xiong Hua, was good friends with Zhuang Boshan. Considering the rtionship between his friend and Lin Yueqi, he decided to set her up.
I can see that Ms. Lin and Mr. Lu are very much in love. I wonder when the two of you are getting married? Could you send me an invitation too?
The atmosphere on the stage stilled in an instant, and the atmosphere below was awkward.
Everyone could see that Xiong Hua was setting Lin Yueqi up on purpose.
Who didnt know that the Lu family wanted Lin Yueqi to give birth to a son? As soon as she couldnt give birth to a son, she wouldnt be able to marry into their family.
Lin Yueqi didnt think about this. Holding the mic, she scratched her head and said, blushing. Marriage isa bit too far? Im still a baby, Im not ready yet
As soon as she said that,ughter broke out below the stage. The awkwardness before was cleverly diffused. But Xiong Hua wasnt going to give up. He said to Lu Ting under the stage, Since Ms. Lin is not willing to reveal the wedding date, why dont we ask Mr. Lu instead?
The camera was aimed at Lu Ting.
Zhuang Boshan whispered in Le Xiaos ear. See, what did I tell you? So what if she gets the award? She wants to marry into a rich family like the other actresses, but she doesnt have the ability to give them a son, does she not?
Le Xiao covered her mouth and snickered. Mr. Zhuang is wise after all.
Lu Ting epted the mic from the staff. From start to end, his eyes never moved elsewhere. He looked only at Lin Yueqi.
While speaking, both his expression and his voice was very serious. I have not much say in these matters. Its all up to Ms. Lin. Our Lu family has strict family teachings. Women must be prioritized. If Ms. Lin doesnt want to marry me and wants to leave me hanging, then I wouldnt say a word about it.
Cheers and apuse broke through the entire scene.
In the live stream:
666666666
All I can say is 666666!
If anyone dares to say my goddess has no family status in the future, Ill give them a p to the face!
Hahahahaha, President Lus family status is in trouble!
At one in the morning, Lu Ting carried the sleeping Tuantuan and took her onto the ship towards Mara Ind with Lin Yueqi.
At the port, Zhuang Boshan, Le Xiao, and their group were stopped at the ship.
Liu Xue looked at Tuantuan who was sleeping on Lu Tings shoulder. When she saw their family getting on the boat, she pouted and tugged on Le Xiaos clothes. Mama, I wanna get on the ship too!
Le Xiao did not say anything, but she looked at Zhuang Boshan.
The man felt humiliated in front of a woman, so his ears were burning red. He nced at his assistant at the side.
The assistant exined quietly, The ship was supposed to take us to the ind, but the staff says that this Mr. Lu is a gold card member. SoHe has the say for this ship. Since hes unwilling to go with us, we
before he could finish, he was interrupted by Zhuang Boshan. What gold car? Why have I never heard that Mara Ind had a gold card?
Even though Lu Ting had money, his family also had status. Whats more, Mara Ind never had any gold card to speak of, so where did this suddenlye from?
The assistant whispered, I also justheard about it just now.
Chapter 277 - FLNC Ch.277 Gambling (1)
Chapter 277 C FLNC Ch.277 Gambling(1)
There were many fishing boats docked on the harbor, but there was only one luxury cruise with a lounge, restaurant, and other facilities in the cabin.
It takes about three hours to get from Haigang Citys Port D to Mara Ind. After 9 PM, you had to either hire your own boat or wait an hour for another cruise.
Mara Inds hospitality was big, but this also shows that Mara Ind Casino wasnt short of customers
Zhuang Boshan, Le Xiao, and their group were stopped, and they can only watch Lu Ting leave on the cruise first.
Even though Lu Ting was the grandson of the richest man in the country, Zhuang Boshans background wasnt bad either. His father owned emercepanies around the world, and he could also reach the top three in the countrys wealth value ranking.
In the past few years, only the Lu family was able to sit firmly on the throne of the wealth ranking.
And this year, second and third ce went to the Li family and the Zhuang family respectively, and the ranking differs every year. Last year, the Zhuang family fell down two ranks, but after struggling for a year, they finally went back up into the top three.
But of course, in a sense, Zhuang Boshan cantpare with Li Xing and Lu Ting at all.
These two were the only sons of big families and the sole heirs. Meanwhile, Zhuang Boshans family has four brothers. Even though he was the youngest, thepany was now in the hands of his eldest brother. Under the support of his family, he started Maice Media to enter the entertainment industry, but he couldnt surpass Li Xing who was even younger than him.
Thatpetition did piss him off.
Zhuang Boshan wasnt fond of Lu Ting and Li Xing to begin with, but these two people just had to support the artist that he gave up on in the past hand in hand and even push her up into the position of Film Empress.
Wasnt that just a huge p to his face?
When he watched Lu Ting get onto the only cruise to Mara Ind at the moment, he was so angry that he couldnt say anything.
What kind of dog shit gold card? Howe he never heard of it before? If Lu Ting had money to buy the gold card, then shouldnt he? What kind of joke is this?
The more he thought about it, the angrier Zhuang Boshan felt. While waiting for his assistant to call another ship over, he still wasnt able to swallow his anger.
When he got on the ship and entered the lounge, he kicked the coffee table.
His assistant lit a cigar for him, and he took a puff before saying, Damn that Lu Ting. Not capable of doing anything other than spending his old mans money. Wang Cheng, when we get to the ind, go to the cashier station and ask them how much it costs to get a gold card.
The assistant nodded and answered with a yes.
When Zhuang Boshan kicked the counter, the young girl, Liu Xue, was so shocked that she hid behind her mother, peeking out half her face to observe him.
The man took another puff and beckoned Le Xiao. Xiaoxiao, dont just stand around. Sit for a while.
Le Xiao immediately pulled her daughter over to the chairs and sat down.
Her daughter was clutching onto her neck and was looking at Zhuang Boshan as if he were a monster. Probably noticing the girls not-too-friendly gaze on him, Zhuang Boshan beckoned the girl, Xiao Xue,e over here to Uncles side.
The girl kept her arms around her mothers neck, not letting go.
But Le Xiao pushed the girl down in front of Zhuang Boshan and scolded her quietly, Hey, Uncle is calling you. Go over there now.
Only then did Liu Xue walk timidly over.
Zhuang Boshan picked her up and put her on hisp, exhaling a puff of smoke near her cheek and saying to Le Xiao, Xiaoxiao, your girl has a good appearance. Shes got nice and pretty genes. Are you interested in making her a child star? I can sign her and train her up well.
ThisShe doesnt have that talent, Mr. Zhuang. You praise her too highly, Le Xiao said.
Chapter 278 - FLNC Ch.278 Gambling (2)
Chapter 278 C FLNC Ch.278 Gambling(2)
She looks a bit like Qin Xue, and she has a Xue in her name, too. Dont look at how much of a failure Qin Xue is now. When she was pretty, she was truly amazing. Zhuang Boshan took another puff of his cigar, popping out a few rings of smoke before saying, A little princess should be nurtured from a young age, get the persona down as soon as possible. Then, when she grows up, if anything doesnt fit, then you can just adjust it with some surgery. As long as you hand your daughter over to mypany, I guarantee you that shell turn into a great beauty!
Le Xiaos eyes were slightly red. She squeezed out some tears and said in a trembling voice, Mr. Zhuang, Ireally dont know how to repay you.
The man did not hold back in front of the girl at all. Reaching over, he hooked up Le Xiaos chin with his finger. Repayment is not necessary. Just stay with me tonight.
The little girl did not dare to speak on the mansp. The smokeing out of his mouth was disgusting and made her feel extremely ufortable.
When Zhuang Boshan went into his cabin to sleep, Liu Xue grabbed Le Xiaos hand and said, Mama, I dont like that Uncle. His mouth smells bad.
Worried that his assistant outside would hear, he pped her daughter across the face. What are you saying? Dont say things like that again, do you hear me?
Holding her cheek, the young girl pouted.
And no crying!
She had no choice but to force her tears back. Then, she was taken to another room to rest while her Mama who apanied her every night went into that Uncle Zhuangs room.
At his age, she had no idea what it meant for her Mama to sleep with Uncle Zhuang. She thought that it was the same as her mama apanying her at night. But she felt especially sad because she didnt like that Uncle Zhuang. She couldnt understand what her Mama liked about him. She also didnt want to go to any ind. She just wanted to go to an amusement park with her Mama.
In Liu Xues mind, the image of Tuantuan lying on Lu Tings shoulder and sleeping peacefully was constantly reying in her mind. If her papa was still around, then she must also be able to sleep peacefully on her papas shoulder like that, too.
And Le Xiao also had no idea that her own actions would be a lingering childhood trauma in the child.
The sea was very windy so the ship was constantly bobbing up and down. Lin Yueqi was a little seasick and was lying ufortably on Lu Tingsp.
Just the thought of being able to visit that very special ind filled Tuantuan with excitement. She was leaning against Lu Tings shoulder, holding an iPad Pro and drawing how her mama looked tonight when she won the award.
At the same time, she was constantly muttering something, which tranted to, Mama was super pretty tonight. I gotta make her shine. Also, I dont like that uncle who gave Mama the award. I want to draw him with a pig ear and pig nose.
After she finished drawing, she elbowed Lu Ting and said, Papa
Shhh. Lu Ting made a silent gesture at her, signaling for her to keep her voice down.
The chubby girl shrugged and lowered her voice. Papa, I heard from Mumu that the amusement park in Haigang City is super big. Theres Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Theres also Maleficent and Donald Duck! Also, also! Mumu said that theres a lovers cliff on Mara Ind, and you can see a rainbow bridge that connects to the sky. Its super pretty! Mumu said that Ill be able to see the rainbow bridge as long as I like him. Papa, will we be able to see the rainbow bridge?
Lu Ting did not expect that little pig hoof from Song Renzes family would be so underhanded.
If Tuantuan sees the rainbow bridge, then wouldnt that prove that she liked Song Mu? That little pig hoof, so sneaky at such a young age. Wouldnt he ruin his daughter in the future?
Chapter 279 - FLNC Ch.279 Gambling (3)
Chapter 279 C FLNC Ch.279 Gambling(3)
Thinking that her papa was getting impatient with her, Tuantuan apologized quietly, Im sorry, Papa. Tuantuan didnt bother you on purpose. Its just that Tuantuan never went to such a nice ce before. Tuantuan used to think that the world is only as big as the vige. Then, Tuantuan thought that the world was as big as A CityOnly now did Tuantuan find out that the world is actually so big. Whenever the kids in ss say theyve been to America, Australia, and EnndTuantuan gets very envious. Do you understand, Papa?
After she asked that question, she dropped her head and sighed. Of course Papa wont understand. Papa has gone to many ces
When he saw how lost his child looked, Lu Ting reached out to stroke her head and leaned down to give her a kiss on the swirl at the top of her head. Its okay. In the future, your Mama and Papa will bring you to even more ces. We will fill your life with all the colors of the world.
Tuantuan hugged Lu Tings arm and rubbed her cheek on it. Papa is the best. Papa, Tuantuan suddenly feels like crying. Tuantuan feels like shes the happiest
At around four in the morning, Lu Ting and his family arrived at Mara Ind.
Lu Ting carried the child off the boat while Lin Yueqi who was sleeping at the side caught the mans arm sleepily, yawning hard. When they reached the shore, Tuantuan pointed to the brightly lit castle-looking building at the peak of a mountain, Mama, look! Its a fairytale castle!
Lin Yueqi looked up and was shocked by the building at the top of the mountain as well. The building was constructed just like a magnificent fairytale castle with beams of lights that go straight up into the starry sky.
The sky above the ind was dotted with stars, and the milky way was clearly visible. Whether it be the architecture or the starry sky, this ce looked just like a fairytale.
An old man in a tunic suit came forward and bowed to them. Mr. Lu, Miss Lin, and Miss Lu, a pleasure to have you. Please allow me to introduce myself. My surname is Jin, and I am the inds caretaker. Please follow me to the car. We have a room prepared for you.
The car traveled up the hill and they were brought to the resort on top.
Right outside the floor-to-ceiling window was the cliff, and since it was nighttime, nothing could be seen.
Lin Yueqi was simply too tired so she fell asleep as soon as she fell onto the bed. Tuantuan was so excited that she couldnt sleep a wink at night. She couldnt wake up her Mama, so she pulled Lu Tings ear, waking him up and whispering, Papa, can I wear the prettiest dress for a photo tomorrow? YOu can post my picture on Mama and your Weibo, as well as the ss group, okay? I want all the children in the world to know that Tuantuan has gone on a holiday with her Papa and Mama.
Sure. Lu Ting closed his eyes. He was very sleepy, so even his answer was a little perfunctory.
Probably having sensed how tired he was, Tuantuan sighed and also went to sleep.
During that night, the child was tossing and turning in bed, finding it difficult to fall asleep.
The next morning before dawn, she shook Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting awake. Papa, Mama, wake up! The sun is shining!
Lin Yueqi rubbed her eyes and sat up, looking at her with a haggard face, Tuan-jie, what time is it? Can you please spare Qiqi?
Mama, look! Its the sun! It looks super pretty! Tuantuan raised her hand and pointed outside the window.
The view outside the window was the cliff, the blue ocean, and the rising sun, while the sunglow peaked from behind the majestic clouds in the distance. The early sun matched with the vast and magnificent sea, as well as the flocks of seagulls, was breathtakingly beautiful.
She quickly fished her camera from her bag to take pictures of the beautiful scenery outside.
The wonderful view was really worth the trip here.
Lu Ting also got up and quickly washed up before ordering breakfast. The family of three sat by the cliff pool outside the living room balcony, enjoying the view as they dined.
After breakfast, Lu Ting arranged for a car to take them on a tour of the ind, taking pictures in the woods and soaking in the hot springs.
By the afternoon, Butler Jin had already arranged dinner for them at the colorful beach.
Chapter 280 - FLNC Ch.280 Gambling (4)
Chapter 280 C FLNC Ch.280 Gambling(4)
Even though it was already December, the temperature on the ind was still lukewarm. A table was set up in front of the colorful beach, filled with low-calorie treats.
Tuantuan was wearing a small floral bikini, kneeling on her dining chair and muttering, Papa, youre so petty. Are you feeding Tuantuan grass?
Did you forget what the doctor said? Lin Yueqi sighed, seemingly not having slept well. If you want to be healthy, then you have to eat grass. No fish, no meat, and no randomly stuffing deserts into your mouth either.
Tuantuan pouted. Okay
She hardly slept all ofst night, so just after taking two bites of her food, her head fell to the table with a bang, and she fell asleep.
Lin Yueqi,
She nudged Lu Ting. Old Lu, your daughter can even fall asleep while eating. Amazing.
Ahem.
Lu Ting wiped his mouth with a napkin, and Butler Jin who was standing servicing them during the meal carried Tuantuan up and said quietly, Sir, Miss Lin, I will look after your daughter for you. You can visit the casinoter to take a look.
Casino? Im not a gambler, Lin Yueqi said.
Lu Ting, The casino on the ind is also one of its unique scenic spots. Ill take you there to take a look, and you can also try making a small bet.
Sure.
Around seven oclock in the evening.
Lu Ting took LIn Yueqi to Mara Ind Casino, which had four floors.
The first floor was for visitors to tour around or make small bets, while the second floor was for bets starting at 10 million, the third floor starts at 50 million, while the fourth floor starts at 100 million. Lu Ting took Lin Yueqi directly to the fourth floor in the VIP elevator.
As soon as they arrived on the fourth floor, they saw a male actor being dragged out of a room.
The actors face was pale, his body covered in sweat, both his legs were weak, and his eyes looked empty as if he was in shock while being dragged out by the staff.
Lin Yueqi looked at the actor and asked in a whisper, Whats going on?
The staff member who took them upstairs was a woman called Lucy. She was wearing a qipao and had a beautiful face and figure. Each and every move she took was done in elegance.
Holding a folding fan in hand, she gently waved the fan, exining, He just lost 200 million in the casino. Of course his legs will turn weak.
200 million? Even if Im sold off, I wouldnt be able to pay back that much money! Lin Yueqi only owned a few properties and had less than 100 million in cash. Even her supermarkets and other properties and cars only added up to almost 200 million. Truly, poverty has limited her imagination. She was probably the most ignorant person in the entertainment industry.
Lin Yueqi gulped and said, What happens if he cant afford to pay it back?
Hearing Lin Yueqis words, Lucy exined, Ordinary people cante to this floor. For people of his standing, hes sure to be able to repay it with some hard work. With his current ie, it can be paid off in about seven or eight years. But of course, if he owes money to the casino, then he doesnt necessarily have to pay the debt. Our boss likes to keep hold of the weaknesses of others.
Lin Yueqi knew who the boss she was talking about was. It was the legendary Mr. Si who was not only young and handsome, but also rich.
Looking at the honest man beside her, she actually had the illusion of how in the world did Lu Ting be the protagonist. From what shed heard of this Mr. Si, he seemed even more domineering than Old Lu here.
Lin Yueqi was so shocked that her legs went weak, and she had to pull on Lu Ting to support herself. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and whispered, Lets just go to the first floor to broaden our horizons. Losing a few million is already enough to make my heart and liver hurt, much less a hundred million? Thats ridiculous.
The view on the fourth floor is the best. Are you sure you dont want to go?
If I lose that much money then I wouldnt even be in the mood to look at the scenery, no matter how nice.
Lucy smiled and said to them, Please dont worry, Miss Lin. We can send you 200 million worth of chips.
Chapter 281 - FLNC Ch.281 Gambling (5)
Chapter 281 C FLNC Ch.281 Gambling(5)
Send?
The staff member nodded. Yes. If you lose, then well pay for the loss. But if you win, the money is yours.
Lin Yueqis face stiffened and she refused, Free food doesnt fall from the sky! Old Lu, lets go! Even though your grandfather is the richest man in the country, you cant be so reckless with money. Youre already a father so you cant be prodigal anymore.
While dragging Lu Ting outside, she just happened to bump into Zhuang BOshan who was walking over with Le Xiao.
After hearing Lin Yueqisst words, Zhuang Boshan immediately interjected and said, Lu Ting, were both dragons here among mountain chickens. As the saying goes, a dragon should be paired with a phoenix. How can you pair with a mountain chicken? Your families really arent well-matched. Just look, youe out here to y and to spend some pittance, but you still have to be controlled like this. I feel tired for you.
Even though Lin Yueqi lost her memory, she still recognized the man in front of her.
He was her old boss, Zhuang Boshan.
In the beginning, this man terminated her contract ruthlessly for Qin Xue.
She fumed, Who are you calling a mountain chicken? Just look at your face full of pockmarks and your big belly. What are you, a mountain pig?
Zhuang Boshan frowned. Oh, has Film Empress Lin grown a temper? Your temper is even hotter than before.
Lin Yueqi snapped back at him. Look at you, making fun of other people. On what basis? Because youre rich? Youll lose all that money sooner orter. I cherish every single penny that I earn, so what qualifications do you have to look down on me?
Because I was born in a better position than you. Because I have more money than you.
You
Le Xiao was watching happily at the side. She didnt expect a prodigal son like him would be able to snap so sharply at a person.
But before Lin Yueqi could finish speaking, she was pulled into Lu TIngs arms. Looking as serious as usual, he said to Zhuang Boshan, Youre good at provocation. Ill disobey Miss Lin today and make a bet with you. Are you interested?
Of course! If Mr. Lu wants to make a bet with me, then of course Ill apany you.
Lucy who was standing by the side closed her folding fan, tapping it on her palm and smiling. This way, please.
When they entered the room, Lin Yueqi frowned and tug on the mans sleeve, whispering to him, Old Lu, theres no need to let our anger get the best of us. Why bicker with money? It wasnt easy for Old Man Lu to make his family rich back then, so why be such spendthrifts as the youngsters?
Lu Ting reached over and rubbed her hair. Were not being swayed by emotions when we have a backup n.
After entering the room, the cards wereid out on the table. Both Lu Ting and Zhuang Boshan took to one end of the table.
Lin Yueqi had known Lu Ting for such a long time but still never seen him gamble. And in her impression, Lu Ting was the responsible type of rich second generation, not the type to gamble or y around with women. For a good boy like him, how can he beat an old veteran prodigal gambler like Zhuang Boshan?
Her face was filled with worry. Lucy patted her shoulder and leaned over to whisper in her ear. Dont worry, Miss Lin. Guys like Zhuang Boshan are his favorites to gamble with.
?? Lin Yueqi came to her senses and asked, You know each other?
Yes, were old acquaintances. Lucy swung open her fan and gently fanned herself. From the waiters tray, she took two sses of red wine and handed one to Lin Yueqi. So no need to be so worried. Just watch. If he doesnt squeeze some blood out of Zhuang Boshan tonight, then he wont know that his original surname is actually bastard.
But if Lu Ting were to lose tonight, then wouldnt he be the bastard?
Then meanwhile, Tuantuans name will be Bastard Jun Yi? If she marries out, then does she beMadam Bastard?
Thatsscary.
The two of them were ying ckjack. Cards 2-9 are given the same points as the cards number, while the royal cards are counted as 10 points. Aces can be used as either 1s or 11s. The number of points in their hand must not exceed 21, and any hands past that are considered burst. The yer with exactly 21 points or the highest total is the winner.
The dealer deals the cards.

Chapter 282 C FLNC Ch.282 Gambling(6)
Round 1:
The first cards dealt to both yers are faced up. Lu Ting has a 10, while Zhuang Boshan has a 2.
From the second card onwards, the cards are faced down. Neither side can look at the cards. They can only choose whether to take a card or not based on intuition. Lu Ting and Zhuang Boshan both asked for a second card. Reasonably, if the first card is a 10, its very likely to burst if you ask for a third card.
Zhuang Boshan looked at him smugly. Mr. Lu, you better think properly before asking for another card.
No worries. I like the excitement.
Both sides asked for three cards, and they began flipping the cards.
Zhuang Boshans first card is a 2, the second is 5, while the third is 10, totaling 17.
Lu Tings first card was a 10, and his second card was also a 10.
Zhuang Boshanughed out loud. What did I say? Its easy to mess up if your first card is already a 10.
Lin Yuqis legs went limp and she almost passed out on the spot.
Lucy held her up. He only lost 50 million, what are you doing?
Miss Lin hasnt even married into the Lu family and is already so concerned with the Lu familys money? Its only 50 million. Thats just a drop in the bucket for Mr. Lu here. Le Xiao swirled the wine in her ss and shot a nce at her. Miss Lin, dont make people think that youre a bumpkin whos never seen the world.
Lin Yueqi ignored this viinous stepmother and just covered her chest, face looking like death itself.
Zhuang Boshan was about to rake in the 50 million worth of chips that Lu Ting had pushed out when Lu Ting turned over his final card.
Ace. Thats a 1. Lu Tings tone was very light as he announced his card, and he looked up at Zhuang Boshan. Thank you for letting me win.
Lin Yueqi thought that she was seeing wrong. Rubbing her eyes, she looked again.
Thats right, Old Lusst card was in fact an ace! But not only that, he scored a ckjack!
Zhuang Boshan, He was so angry that he leaned back into his seat and said to the dealer, Shuffle the cards! One more round!
During the second, the third, and the fourth gameZhuang Boshan lost all of them miserably, losing his upper limit of chips tonight, a total of 300 million.
Furious, he threw the cigar in his hand towards Lu Ting. Lu Ting, are you a fucking cheating?!
Lu Ting tilted his head to the side, dodging the cigar thrown over by the man. He frowned and spoke with no warmth in his voice. Watch what you say, Mr. Zhuang.
You dare say you didnt cheat? Then how did you win every round so steadily! He was so angry that he kicked the table. Looking at the calm look on Lu Tings face just made him even angrier, and he almost had an aneurysm.
Probably since there was new hatred mixed with the old, the man got up and was so pissed that he rushed straight towards Lin Yueqi, grabbing her neck and barking at Lu Ting, If you dont tell me how you cheated, then Ill kill your woman tonight!
He was also over his mind with anger. And if he could, he would have wrung Lu Tings neck instead.
Lu Ting frowned.
Lucy tapped Zhuang Boshans wrist with her fan. I say, Mr. Zhuang. Can you be a little gentlemanly? Quickly let go of her. Even if you want to start trouble, at least watch where you are. Let go!
Zhuang Boshan was brought back to his senses by her words.
After all, this was Mr. Sis territory. He can offend the entire Lu family since he wasnt so far behind them after all, but things were different if he offended Mr. Si.
Mr. Si runs a casino, and people of all walks owe him money. He knows all sorts of big bosses. Even people of his father and Old Man Lus caliber would not be able topare with him. Mr. Si held the weaknesses of all types of people, and hiswork was second to none in the country.
You could offend anyone in the world, but not Mr. Si. This was a famous saying in the circle.
Zhuang Boshan was about to let Lin Yueqi go when he heard Lu Ting say, Knee.
Lin Yueqi immediately understood and immediately raised her knee, apanied by a momentum-building roar, You shameless old bastard, check out my descendant-ending knee kick! Ive been practicing this for a long time!
Chapter 283 - FLNC Ch.283 Gambling (7)
Chapter 283 C FLNC Ch.283 Gambling(7)
Mm. Lu Ting leaned down and kissed her on the lip. Amazing.
Lin Yueqi blushed instantly and held her cheeks with her hands. Oh my, Old Lu. What are you doingWere in public, dont you have any shame?
This knee kick was the move Lin Yueqi often did while Lu Ting gave her boxing lessons. Lu Ting suffered many times, but fortunately, his little buddy was still healthy in all aspects, so there shouldnt be a problem for him to grant Tuantuan a few more siblings.
Zhuang Boshan was dragged downstairs by some people, but Le Xiao did not leave.
She looked at Lu Ting and said, Mr. Lu, how about I y a few games with you?
Lu Tings gambling skills were obviously very good. If she ys with him, then she was sure to lose. Her goal was to lose 100 million. Only by losing that 100 million would she be able to escape punishment.
Since her system issued the warning, there were only a few days left before the one-month deadline. She had to lose the 100 million today before she could rest at ease.
But Lu Ting had his own considerations and didnt want her to lose that 100 million tonight.
Anyone who enters the fourth floor must be checked beforehand to see if they had the financial ability to afford these chips. Otherwise, even their bodyguards wont be allowed up here.
Lu Ting wasnt sure how this woman had the ability to afford 100 million chips, but he didnt want to know. He would repeatedly discourage any guest whoes here to gamble and encourage them to think it over.
For married customers with children or who have elderly dependents, the casinos requirements be even more stringent. But of course, even if he has the intention to stop these people from dumping all their money, some people just want to have their faces pped hard, and they think the casino is looking down on them when they hold them back.
Sometimes, Lu Ting himself wouldment the diversity of human nature. He sometimes wondered that if he stopped warning people, then would these people still throw themselves right into the pit?
The reason why his casino can attract people from all over the world to gamble is because of its fairness. No cheating exists in this casino, and whether you win or lose money was all up to your own skills. There was zero tolerance for cheating.
He was a businessman, so making money was the main goal.
Considering that Le Xiao suddenly gained so much money in such a short amount of time after paying off her husbands debt, it proves that her ability to make money is not bad. A customer like her was bound to be a big one, and faced with such a big customer, he had to drop some sugar to reel her in.
And, this sugar must also have a certain level of addiction to the other party.
Lu Ting nced at the woman with cold eyes and pushed LIn Yueqi to the other seat. Pressing down on her shoulders, he leaned down to speak by her ear, Im tired. Why dont you y for me? Just use the money that I just won. Its fine even if you lose, its not like we had to spend a penny anyway, right?
Lin Yueqi, Seriously? Wont it hurt if I lose your money?
No. Lin Yueqi did not know how to y cards, and her luck at it has been bad since she was a child. Even though she lived in the home city of mahjong, she couldnt find a bit of interest in ying cards at all.
She wanted to refuse, but Lu Ting wouldnt allow her to.
So, she had no choice but to take 100 million chips and grit her teeth, ying against the viins mother. As a result, the more she yed, the more she lost
All 100 million was soon lost, and she was almost in tears. She could imagine how overjoyed the viins mother was right now. She must be so happy that she could faint, right?
But when she looked up at Le Xiao, she noticed that her face looked extremely bitter.
She looked as if she was suffering more than if she lost 100 million.
Were thesetears of joy?
The thought of losing 100 million to the viins mother filled Lin Yueqis heart with grief. Aftering out from the private room, she hugged Lu Tings waist as soon as they got into the elevator, mming randomly against the mans body.
