By the time Qiao Moyu arrived at the other side of the venue, Xing Wanshuang had just finished interacting with her fans. Upon noticing Qiao Moyu hurrying over, her eyes flashed with pleasure.
Qiao Moyu walked over to her side and whispered: "Were you responsible for what happened back there? What are you going to do to destroy the video evidence?"
"Haha, you even know that there's a recording? It seems that you're not as stupid as I thought!" Xing Wanshuang snapped back with a sneer. "I heard that you're also participating in the program 'I'm Not Just An Actor.' If you don't want the video of your undressing to be exposed, you had better cooperate well with Sister Ruohuan!"
Qiao Moyu was truly surprised to hear Xing Wanshuang's words.
Initially, she thought that Xing Wanshuang plotted against her because she had stolen her limelight from 'Sheng Shi.' However, she never expected her to retaliate on behalf of Qiao Ruohuan!
"You're planning to step on me in order to put her on a pedestal?" Qiao Moyu laughed mockingly. "She must have fed you some kind of bewitching soup."
"Haha, do you think you're able to sow seeds of discord between me and her?" Xing Wanshuang stared straight into Qiao Moyu's eyes. "She is my sworn sister-in-law while you're just nothing! Don't even think about marrying into our Xing family!"
Upon hearing this threat, Qiao Moyu couldn't help but feel sorry for the Xing Siblings.
Xing Yichen treated Qiao Ruohuan as his savior and had even given his heart to that woman. Xing Wanshuang was even more foolish. She played the same dirty games as Qiao Ruohuan while doing her best to flatter her.
He he, if these two siblings find out that Qiao Ruohuan wasn't the kind of person they thought her to be, who knows what their reaction will be like?
The corners of Qiao Moyu's lips curled up. Why was she looking forward to that day so much?
Xing Wanshuang stood confidently on the stage, completely unaware of the fact that her name was currently on a hot search online. Mistakenly thinking that she had gotten hold of Qiao Moyu's weakness, she appeared more excited than anyone else at the fan meeting.
At that moment, a reporter below the stage suddenly asked: "Wanshuang, your name is one of the top searches online currently. Your assistant had arranged for a man to seduce Qiao Moyu, but then Qiao Moyu has identified the culprit and has sent a report to the police. Are you aware of this?"
When those words were spoken, even the director was stunned. All of a sudden, all the fans below the stage glanced at Xing Wanshuang before quickly going to their Weibo.
Qiao Moyu's ordeal from earlier had long since been recorded by her fans. As such, her Weibo was filled with video messages. Even her consecutive kicks were turned into a meme.
The man's voice clearly spoke: "It was a woman who told me to do it. Her number is—-"
Then, all of the reporters went to check on their contacts after hearing the number.
The cell number was none other than Xing Wanshuang's assistant.
All of a sudden, countless flashing lights focused on Xing Wanshuang. In just a few seconds, the look of shock in her eyes was noticeable.
However, she reacted immediately and replied: "I don't know what everyone is talking about! I'm surprised it happened, but I'll investigate it right away. If the situation is true, I'll make sure she gives everyone an explanation. However, if the circumstances don't match and a certain someone was acting of their own accord, then I won't hold back!"
With just this reply, Qiao Moyu was once again pushed into the limelight. This meant that this might have been arranged by Qiao Moyu herself to play the victim!
Upon hearing that, everyone's gaze immediately fell on Qiao Moyu. Some of the onlookers had already begun to examine her.
But at this moment, Ye Peicheng, who had been silent all this time, took a step forward and said in a light tone: "Journalists, today is Sheng Shi's thank-you meeting. I hope everyone will focus on this drama. As for who is responsible, I believe that the police have verified the man's account, so the truth will be revealed."
Ye Peicheng��s words didn't favor either side, but this reminded the reporters that the matter was actually very simple. They can't just trust Xing Wanshuang's words.
Thus, the reporters once again returned their focus to 'Sheng Shi.' After this issue, the meeting ended without a hitch.
A few days later, Xing Wanshuang's manager released an announcement, stating that she officially cancelled her contract to work as Xing Wanshuang's assistant.
Qiao Moyu's lips curled into a smile as she read the news. Ha ha, she had actually long since guessed that Xing Wanshuang would push all the blame to her assistant.
Although this matter didn't seem to have much of an impact, Qiao Moyu believed that all of these small matters were like seeds that would one day grow into a big tree. When the time comes, it would be impossible even for the person managing Xing's public relations to do anything!
Since this issue was resolved, Xing Wanshuang was officially signed up to join the program 'I'm Not Just an Actor,' indicating that she would participate in the first episode.
Director Jiang Xian was extremely excited when he received the news. That's because recruiting actors with contradictions between them makes the program a more exciting topic of discussion. Although Qiao Moyu wasn't as famous as Xing Wanshuang or Qiao Ruohuan, she had been a topic of conversation as of late. In addition, the incident between her and Xing Wanshuang will make the recording more thrilling to watch!
What do fans enjoy watching! Of course, it's dog-blooded drama!
The program can offer some romance and 'dog food' fan service, or they can watch two guests argue with each other.
For this upcoming episode, Qiao Ruohuan and Xing Yichen will be offering the fan service, whereas Qiao Moyu and Xing Wanshuang can present the flames of war, right? This program will definitely become popular!
After receiving the news Jian Xian posted the list of guests for the show on his official blog. He then stated: "There are also two mystery male guests. They are both very important figures and it will be their very first time participating in a variety program. Can anyone guess who they are?"
The moment this was posted, the audience online exploded.
"Oh, my God, the first episode is going to be a battlefield! How can I possibly stand quietly on the side without being there? I'm going to attend this program! They better go at each other's throats, or else the tickets I buy will be wasted, haha!
"Aiyah, my goddess Moyu must be quite angry. She won't roll up her sleeves to start a fight, will she? Ah, I'm looking forward to it for some reason!"
"Sister Wanshuang, no matter what happens, we will support you!"
"Speaking of which, I'm more curious about who this male guest is. Don't tell me it's Ye Peicheng. Someone pass me a tissue!"
...
While the comments section continued to build up, Qiao Moyu was making red bean buns for Luo Luo.
She even looked up the recipe online and tried to shape the steamed buns into small animal shapes. However, her skills weren't as good as Nanny Yu's.
In her previous life, her brother once said that her cooking tasted good, just that her presentation was poor. He commented that if one day, he sees Qiao Moyu sitting down while crocheting, he would be even more surprised than if he had seen Zhang Fei and Li Kui running hand in hand. (T/N: reference to Romance of the Three Kingdoms; two men who are very similar but are from different Chinese classic works)
That time, Qiao Moyu leapt and gave him a flying kick.
Now, Qiao Moyu stared at the small rabbit bun and sighed. If her brother saw this, he would definitely exclaim: "Zhang Fei and Li Kui are finally living happily together!"
Luo Luo sat beside her in front of the baking tray. The little toddler reached out his chubby little hands and took a piece of dough to knead.
He rolled the dough into an uneven shape and imitated his mother by placing a spoonful of red bean paste on top. Then he picked up the dough and pinched it closed around the filling.
Luo Luo also wanted his to be shaped like a small animal, but he wanted even more to have it shaped the same as his mother's. Upon glancing at Qiao Moyu's piece, he reshaped his bun before finally placing it on the surface of the baking tray.
Qiao Moyu looked at the flattened piece of ball before her and asked Luo Luo, "Did Baobei use the dough to make eggs?"
Luo Luo shook his head and earnestly replied: "No, Luo Luo made it like mom!"
For a few seconds, Qiao Moyu glanced down at the dough that looked like a fallen piece of egg before praising: "Wow, Luo Luo is so smart. You did such a good job!"
The little boy looked down in embarrassment. He took a smaller looking egg shaped dough and put it next to Qiao Moyu's, saying: "This is Luo Luo!"
As she stared at the big and small eggs on the baking tray, Qiao Moyu's heart inadvertently softened. She turned to the boy and kissed his cheek. "Mom will always be there to watch Baobei grow up!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Luo's little eyes lit up for a time. His little hands held Qiao Moyu's face closer and he leaned over to plant a kiss.
...
'I'm Not Just an Actor' is recording its first episode in a beautiful southern town.
On that day, Qiao Moyu along with the rest of the guests who had been officially announced were among the first to arrive at the southern part of the city. As for the mystery guests, it's been said that they will make their appearance at night for the filming.
By the time the guests got off the plane, it was already noon. After leaving the airport, they took a bus and traveled for another four hours before arriving on set in a place called 'Nanjia Village.'
Nanjia Village was located in Nancheng County. This little town only had a very small guest house.
By the time they arrived at the guest house, the director began to distribute their lodgings. Each crew and cast member had their own room, almost filling up the small hostel.
Xing Wanshuang had always been a rich young lady. Since when had she ever stayed in a place as simple and crude as this? When she entered her room, she had the urge to frown.
However, since there was a video camera behind her, she didn't show it on the surface. Xing Wanshuang held it in as she put down all of her luggage, then followed the rest of the group towards the main hall.
Previously, the filming team mentioned that the theme for this episode was focused on charity, but it wasn't mentioned in what way.
At this moment, the cameraman switched the recording to live. Only then did the director announce: "Everyone, we will be splitting the guests into groups of two. There will be a total of three groups, with two guests in each group. Everyone must move together as a group and will compete as teams…
Once the teams are decided, the guests will head out to search for anything useful for your group. You will gather useful materials and participate at a market over at Nancheng county in two days time. There, you will exchange your goods for cash at the market and whatever you earn will be donated to a local orphanage in the mountains. So the goal of this competition is that whichever team gathers the most donations from their exchanges wins!
Tonight, two mystery guests will also make their appearance. They will be there to assist the three teams. In two days, the two winning groups can select among two male guests who will assist them in the next round.
Therefore, everyone must work hard to collect and to sell the most. Otherwise, if you lose one person's support in the next round, you might lose the entire competition for the show!
Of course, whatever you gather must be public property and not be subject to any dispute of ownership. For example, the wild flowers on the mountains, the pebbles in the river, and so on…"
After announcing this, the director's gaze swept across everyone in the room: "Alright, I'll begin drawing the lots!"
Soon, the group list was filled up. Qiao Moyu's partner was Qin Qianqian, Xing Wanshuang's was Zhou Yunchuan, while Qiao Ruohuan partnered up with Wang Kun Ming, the remaining male guest.
"Alright, everyone can get going now!" As soon as the director announced the start of the filming, the three camera teams started their work and began keeping track of the three different teams.
The corner of Xing Wanshuang's mouth curved up into a smile as she glanced at the actor next to her. She and Qiao Ruohuan both had male guests, but this Qin Qianqian ended up being paired with Qiao Moyu.
Xing Wanshuang greeted Qiao Ruohuan: "Big Sister Ruohuan, our two teams can go together!"
