Chapter 100: Four Crazy Couples, Their Characters Gradually Collapse
"How did you know?" An Lan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Liu Tianqing raised an eyebrow: "Since you've done it, you should be prepared to be discovered."
Yun Chu dropped the pretense of being a gentle, innocent girl and immediately rolled up her sleeves, pointing at An Lan and fiercely rebuking her, "Fine! You make us eat cucumbers, but you eat meat yourself, why should you?"
"They even said that celebrities should manage their figures and shouldn't eat meat at night. If that's the case, then you shouldn't eat meat either. As the team leader, you should set an example and go eat cucumbers!"
After she finished speaking, she stepped forward and snatched the red envelope from An Lan's hand, then decisively bought two cucumbers from the stall and stuffed them into An Lan's arms.
Then she said to Yang Bao, "Director Yang, we agreed not to hide any food, so we have to keep our word. I hope you can take away her dried meat when you go back later."
Yang Bao looked slightly embarrassed. He allowed the guests to do some small things to increase the show's popularity, but he wouldn't allow anyone to use that to harm the guests' health.
After all, he would be responsible if anything happened to any of the guests.
Yang Bao thought for a moment and looked at Liu Tianqing beside him.
Liu Tianqing casually said, "I'm a tight-lipped person, and I would never tell anyone that there's a slot at the bottom of her suitcase where she put the jerky."
"I won't tell you that all her suitcases have a compartment that's used to hide things."
That slot was installed after Anlan had it modified.
The reason it's called a slot instead of a pocket is simple: slots are fixed, and even if someone notices them, they'll just assume it's part of the suitcase's interior.
But it doesn't work with pockets. No matter where a pocket is placed, you can feel something inside as soon as you touch it.
Gu Yan stared dumbfounded at Yun Chu, whose demeanor was different from usual, completely dumbfounded.
This...the contrast is huge...and it's so cute!!!
He had considered that Yun Chu's perfection might be an act, but at the moment Yun Chu revealed her true nature, he was surprised to find that even though Yun Chu had become imperfect, he still felt that she was radiant and had a fatal attraction for him.
Yun Chu quickly realized she had broken character, and after only a brief moment of stiffness, she threw herself into Gu Yan's arms: "Brother Gu Yan, I was really angry just now..."
Gu Yan stiffly hugged Yun Chu tightly, let out a sigh, and narrowed his eyes comfortably. Yun Chu rarely took the initiative to throw herself into his arms like this.
His protective instincts were immediately and completely aroused.
He shielded Yun Chu, comforting her with unwavering conviction: "Good riddance! Even if you hadn't taken it, I would have wanted to take it anyway. This vicious woman simply wanted to starve us to death so she could inherit our estate!"
Upon hearing Gu Yan's words, the three badgers, Liu Tianqing, Yan Qingfeng, and Shui Xueyao, couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!"
Isn't this more exciting than a TV series?
Yun Chu looked up, her face streaked with tears, looking utterly pitiful: "Really? Is she really that bad?"
Gu Yan said seriously, "I know her too well..."
"Whoa~~~~" Liu, Yan, and Shui, the three badgers, exclaimed again.
The three badgers almost couldn't keep up with Gu Yan and the others.
Yun Chu pursed her lips, looking utterly defeated: "But I don't want to manage the money, I don't know how to allocate it..."
To be honest, she regretted it the moment she got the money.
She regretted not being able to control her emotions, which not only caused her public image to collapse but also left her with such a hot potato.
Gu Yan thought for a moment, then took the red envelope from her hand: "Then I'll make the arrangements."
An Lan's eyes immediately reddened when her power over the money was taken away. She grabbed Li Xiao's sleeve, her voice trembling with tears, "Li Xiao, look at them, look at them... they're ostracizing me..."
Li Xiao remained silent. Could he say that he didn't want An Lan to manage the money either?
He doesn't want to eat cucumbers!
He doesn't need to manage his physique; he's in great shape with eight-pack abs, the epitome of looking slim in clothes but muscular when undressed.
Li Xiao met An Lan's aggrieved gaze, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:
"It's okay, I won't exclude you. If they want to manage the money, let them manage it. Only those who have managed money know how difficult it is. When they can't manage it well, they will naturally come to you for help."
Although An Lan was unwilling, she was successfully persuaded by Li Xiao.
The person in charge of the money was thus smoothly appointed as Gu Yan.
After receiving the money, Gu Yan did not go straight to a particular stall like An Lan did. Instead, he visited almost every stall before finally deciding which items to buy from which stall.
Fortunately, the people in the community are very honest and didn't deliberately raise prices to rip people off, so I didn't spend much money on groceries.
An Lan held onto the two cucumbers tightly the whole time, watching as a group of people bought several kinds of vegetables, and even meat.
She only had two cucumbers, and she was insanely jealous.
But she dared not show even the slightest hint of jealousy.
Studio.
【Look at An Lan, oh my god, she's furious! She's pinched the cucumber in her hand so many times it's got dents.】
[Hilarious! I never expected her to be hiding jerky while pretending to be strictly controlling her figure. So shameless!]
[If Liu Langlang hadn't said anything, who would have thought that someone with such a good reputation could be so fake?]
Did you guys see Li Xiao's reaction when he saw the meat? It was hilarious! It felt like he was about to charge at it any second.
I don't know if he actually did anything, but I could tell he didn't like An Lan as much as he seemed to. I suspect he really just saw An Lan as a plaything.
【What toy? It's a collectible!】
Speaking of which, someone comes to mind. Does anyone remember Qu Weiwei, who suddenly disappeared in the last episode?
What happened to Qu Weiwei? Is there another scandal?
Their boss, Ding Wanzhong, has a private estate called Dog Park. I think I saw Qu Weiwei there when I went to buy a dog.
[I don't understand, does anyone understand, guys? Please explain clearly!]
All I can say is that the kennel is divided into two areas: one sells dogs on the outer perimeter, and another sells dogs in the center. The only difference is that the dogs on the outer perimeter have four legs, while the dogs in the center have two legs. I can't go into any more detail.
[I'm starting to understand...wow!!! It's a bit dark!]
I just searched on the map app, but couldn't find the location.
The world is terrifying these days. For some reason, I suddenly have a strong urge to know what Li Xiao's collection on the island is for.
……
The Li family quickly noticed something amiss with the online trends, and Li's father immediately ordered all trending topics about Li Xiao's private island and his collection to be suppressed.
"Investigate! There must be someone behind this, including Ding Wanzhong. Investigate his background."
Li family's top assistant, Assistant Bai, pushed up his glasses and calmly replied, "Yes, Ding Wanzhong is a very influential figure in the underworld, and is respectfully called Master Ding."
Father Li narrowed his eyes: "If I remember correctly, Ding Wanzhong is only 28 years old this year, right?"
Being called "Grandpa" at 28 years old means either that you inherited the family business or that you're completely ruthless.
Assistant Bai nodded: "Yes, the Ding family's business has always focused on the underworld. The company is just something they casually set up to cover their tracks. The title of 'Master Ding' has been passed down for three generations. However, Ding Wanzhong himself is extremely unscrupulous in his actions."
Father Li gently patted his thigh and remained silent for more than ten minutes before speaking: "The person behind this may also be targeting Ding Wanzhong, and our Li family has been implicated."
The Li family is no longer the same as it used to be. Now, the Li family focuses on its businesses, and all of its former subordinates have switched careers to work for the Li family's companies, where they are doing very well.
The Li family's current scale is entirely due to the fact that its former subordinates risked their lives to prop up the company in order to clean up their image.
However, they are not as focused on business in the underworld as they used to be.
If it weren't for the fear of someone bringing up old grievances and seeking revenge, those who remained in the underworld would have long been recruited into the company by Li's father, and everyone would have been cleaned up.
Thinking of this, Father Li took a deep breath: "Find an opportunity to inform the young master about the current situation online and tell him to restrain himself. Also, that Liu Tianqing, we can be on good terms with her, but we absolutely cannot make enemies. If we do make enemies, we must find a way to make sure she doesn't see the sun the next day."
Assistant Bai replied, "I'll go and make the arrangements right away."
This is the recording site for the program.
After Liu Tianqing and the others finished dinner, it was already past 6:30.
Yang Bao was quite humane; he took a hand-drawn cartoon map and handed it to everyone.
"This is a map I specially commissioned a local kindergarten teacher to draw. It marks eighteen tourist attractions in the entire county. You can use the map to plan your next few days."
Gu Yan opened the map and saw a very conspicuous five-pointed star on the edge of the map.
Yang Bao: "The position of the five-pointed star is where we are now."
After looking at the map, Gu Yan frowned slightly: "We are currently on the edge of the county town. Fortunately, we are in good luck and are currently within the Cherry Blossom Mountain Scenic Area. There are three scenic areas in the neighboring Baihe Community..."
After a series of analyses and discussions, the group decided to visit three scenic spots in the neighboring Baihe community the next day, thus completing their visit to four scenic spots.
Of the eighteen scenic spots, four were resolved in this way.
After discussing it, Liu Tianqing and Shui Xueyao strolled upstairs to prepare for bed.
But then the four crazy people ran into trouble again.
An Lan refused to sleep in the same room as Yun Chu, saying that she was not used to sleeping with someone else.
Yun Chu's eyes immediately reddened, and she looked at An Lan, sobbing:
"Sister Anlan, is it because I stole Brother Gu Yan that you don't want to sleep in the same room with me? I can sleep on the floor, please don't kick me out, okay?"
An Lan's face turned ashen: "I don't like sleeping with someone, so why do you insist on sleeping with me? There are three rooms, one for me and one for you, isn't that enough?"
Yun Chu bit her lip, her eyes filled with helplessness: "But...but...Brother Gu Yan and Brother Li Xiao are in the same room, they'll fight..."
"Yun Chu!" Gu Yan looked at Yun Chu with emotion, and he reached out to hug her. "It's okay. For you, I can endure sharing a room with him."
Li Xiao's face turned ashen: "I can't stand it! I want to have a room all by myself."
The noise below was intense, while Yan Qingfeng looked completely bewildered. So... had the crazy couple forgotten about him?
He was a little unsure and needed to hear more.
"Li Xiao, you have disappointed me greatly..."
An Lan's face was full of disappointment. In her opinion, when she made this request, Li Xiao would agree unconditionally, but reality was contrary to her expectations.
Li Xiao's face darkened instantly, his gaze towards An Lan filled with coldness, and he decided to stop pretending:
"You think you're entitled to arrange my affairs as if it's your right?"
In Li Xiao's eyes, An Lan was something dispensable. If he could collect her, he would make a profit; if he couldn't, he wouldn't suffer any loss.
In his opinion, An Lan was not as good as Yun Chu at all. Although he disliked Yun Chu very much, at least Yun Chu was born into a wealthy family and had been a socialite for more than 20 years.
If it weren't for the unexpected events that led to the Yun family's bankruptcy, she, as a socialite, would be quite popular in their circle.
Even though she is no longer the socialite she once was, there are still so many men who are infatuated with her, crazy about her, and willing to bang their heads against a wall for her.
Therefore, he could tolerate An Lan once or twice out of a sense of fun, but he would never let An Lan jump around on his face at will.
However, An Lan couldn't see through these things and always believed that Li Xiao loved her deeply.
She was completely oblivious to the coldness in Li Xiao's eyes as he looked at her, and still believed he was just jealous, so she exuded impatience.
"There are only three rooms in total. What's wrong with you sharing one room? Do you really want me to share a room with her? I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and I'll kill her tonight."
Yan Qingfeng was now certain that these four crazy people had indeed ignored him and excluded him entirely.
This won't do. If this continues, he'll start to doubt whether he's a guest on a variety show or just a hired hand working for the production team.
He stood up, dusted off non-existent dust, forcefully stepped between the four, and said through gritted teeth:
"I have no objection to your room arrangements, but I can't tolerate you taking my spot by force as if it were your right."
"What? Am I not tall enough, or do I look like a dead person? You can't see me even standing right in front of you. Are you all blind?"
Yan Qingfeng spoke with a face full of anger, he was very angry!
Is he not breathing or what? Is he just so invisible?
At least, just looking at him, he's more handsome than Gu Yan and Li Xiao!
He glared angrily at the four crazy old men and women, but soon he realized that even when he lost his temper, they only glanced at him indifferently, clearly not taking him seriously.
They started arguing amongst themselves again.
Yan Qingfeng looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, utterly dejected... and then met Liu Tianqing's teasing gaze.
Yan Qingfeng took a deep breath, deciding to ignore the four crazy people, and simply picked a room. Upon entering, he called out to them:
"Alright, now there are only two rooms for you to choose from. Don't argue. Either a man and a woman share a room, or a man shares a room and a woman shares a room. If you don't like sleeping with others, you don't need to sleep in a room. Just sleep on the sofa in the living room."
After he finished speaking, he slammed the door shut with a loud bang, followed by a click as Yan Qingfeng locked the door from the inside.
