Chapter 82
Ji Fei: [When did the Qin family's noble ladies become such gossips?]
The Qin Family Gossip Group recorded while casting a helpless glance at Ji Fei, acknowledging it was her influence.
Besides, they now all have their own small groups of inner circle friends, constantly sharing gossip.
With Qin Zhao and Ji Fei causing such a stir on the variety show, even the upper-class circles couldn't resist indulging in the drama.
In the end, thankfully, Qin Yan feared someone might get hurt and quickly sent for security.
Sheng Wenyue and Wang Jiani were like mortal enemies, making each other bleed. As they walked out, they continued to curse each other with the most vicious language.
Who could have imagined that not long ago they were still displaying affection in front of the whole country's audience!
After Wang Jiani was driven away, the agent tried to reason with Sheng Wenyue, but was met with a fist to the face from the enraged Sheng Wenyue, knocking out several teeth.
"You're also a traitor! It's all your fault for leading me to make mistakes. You were my most trusted partner, why did you betray me!"
The agent was also furious now. Originally, he thought that although Sheng Wenyue was hated all over the internet, he hadn't crossed any red lines, so there might still be a chance for a comeback, after all, netizens have short memories.
His own reputation was also tarnished, having offended too many people and being too closely tied to Sheng Wenyue. His entire career now depended on Sheng Wenyue's resurgence.
But now, as the only person who hadn't abandoned Sheng Wenyue, he was being beaten. How could he not be angry?
"Betray you? Get this straight, I've always been considering your future. Before, when Ruan Jia was beneficial to you, I supported Ruan Jia. Now that Wang Jiani is beneficial to you, I support Wang Jiani. Who could have known you wouldn't handle Ruan Jia properly!"
Sheng Wenyue glared angrily, while his parents, who had been silent until now, finally couldn't help but speak up: "Back then, we saw you as enthusiastic and honest, saying you treated Wenyue like family, that's why we always let you be Wenyue's agent. But it turns out this is how you think! Ruan Jia wasn't just anyone, she was his wife! When Wenyue did wrong, you should have advised him, not encouraged him!"
"I treated him too much like family. I knew he had always suppressed his feelings for Wang Jiani, bound by duty as Ruan Jia's husband, so I took a step. Love doesn't have a first come, first served rule or right and wrong," the agent justified righteously.
"But I love Ruan Jia!"
"That's just self-deception because you've failed now," the agent snorted coldly.
Sheng Wenyue seemed to fall into self-contradiction and broke down crying.
The agent couldn't help but press on, "If our plan had succeeded, you and Wang Jiani could have not only loved openly, but your career would have taken off again. So I did nothing wrong. As for Ruan Jia, when there's no love left, abandoning her isn't wrong either."
Sheng's parents cursed at this unrepentant fellow, "You're fired!" Then they pulled Sheng Wenyue away.
"He really doesn't think he did anything wrong?" the Gossip Group couldn't help but discuss.
Ji Fei couldn't help but laugh wildly in her heart.
[Good grief, he actually said when there's no love left, abandoning her isn't wrong. Does he know his own wife is secretly hooking up with his assistant?]
Gossip Group: !!!!
[While he's busy out there, his wife is lonely and helpless, and fell in love with the assistant. When he's not home, they're just like a married couple.]
[Hilarious, because of this incident, his wife is now planning to take all his money and elope with the assistant! He was originally supposed to be out busy all day today, but now that he's been fired, he can only go home. Wonder if he'll walk in on them.]
[But since he endorses the supremacy of true love, he should understand his wife's actions. After all, love doesn't have a first come, first served rule or right and wrong, hahaha]
Gossip Group: Pff pff pff~ Hold it in, you've taken all the bamboo shoots from the mountain.
After watching such an entertaining scene, everyone's spirits were high until they encountered a small trouble while out shopping.
Because Ji Fei had become famous, her unprofessional disguise led to her being quickly recognized.
It was Ji Fei's first time being surrounded by so many people asking for autographs and photos, she could only quickly hide in a store.
For professional problems, leave it to professionals. She called Gao Hao for help.
After listening, Gao Hao said helplessly: "Weren't you an artist before?"
Ji Fei used to be an unknown model, without makeup, people couldn't recognize her. She's still not used to it now.
"I'll send Xiao Tao to pick you up. By the way, there's something I need to tell you." Gao Hao took the opportunity to brief Ji Fei on what he had just told Qin Zhao.
"The actor king group has withdrawn from the competition, so five groups have become four. Therefore, the competition system has changed. Your next round will be a direct PK with the double male god group that was previously exempted."
"Current boyfriend and ex-boyfriend?!" Ji Fei's tone instantly heightened.
The three gossip girls immediately pricked up their ears.
After all, compared to the fake sugar of the despicable and disgusting actor king group, this combination was truly awkward enough to make everyone look forward to seeing them act together on the same stage.
Sun Mo, the male god of xianxia dramas, with his cold, domineering, and expressionless face, was basically consistent with the roles he usually played. He always claimed to be single, focused solely on his career, the type that continuously films at the studio, and basically doesn't hype up CP.
Yang Hong, the campus male god, had more rumors, was naturally sociable, enthusiastic and proactive, with some capital background. Although he had never officially announced his relationship with his current girlfriend, they often subtly showed affection. Some fans accepted it well, while others chose to turn a blind eye.
Netizens only thought it was a double male god combination, cheering for their own idols. How could they imagine: your sister-in-law is actually my ex-sister-in-law.
Ji Fei still remembered the last time they shot the promotional video. Although her attention was mostly on the actor king group, she also noticed the subtle atmosphere between these two.
Sun Mo completely ignored Yang Hong, but Yang Hong kept smiling and actively trying to get closer.
When it was time to take a group photo, Sun Mo stood still, and it was Yang Hong who suddenly reached out and put his arm around Sun Mo's neck for an intimate photo.
One cold, one warm, a combination of ice and fire. When the promotional video came out, it even attracted some fujoshi to ship them, creating their own fandom.
But obviously Sun Mo felt the other was disgusting him. As soon as the shooting was over, he shook off Yang Hong's arm decisively, showing no courtesy at all.
In the end, it was the other's agent who came forward to apologize with a smile.
But Yang Hong still seemed happy, as if he didn't mind the other's rudeness at all, with a bit of a cynical, deliberately mischievous feeling.
Later during the show's recording, Yang Hong often asked for leave, so the two weren't seen together much.
But since it's a PK, it will definitely be a grand spectacle.
"Ahem, so they'll have enough trouble harmonizing their internal conflicts, and basically won't have any conflicts with us. Sun Mo's agent Pei Mingxuan is very close to me, she just contacted me, hoping we can develop peacefully, each perform well, so this time you guys just focus on honing your acting skills and showcasing your professional abilities. The most important thing is to behave! Try to salvage some of our image in the industry, help me trick more people to join."
Ji Fei didn't listen carefully, because while reminiscing just now, she had already scanned Sun Mo and Yang Hong with the Gossip System.
As a result, the top information directly revealed a big piece of gossip!
[Oh my god!]
The three gossip girls were startled, their hands trembling, staring at each other with wide eyes, not daring to look at Ji Fei.
They heard Ji Fei make a earth-shattering cry in her heart, like a big white goose whose neck had been stepped on.
Gossip Group: What happened? What happened! What big news?
[Yang Hong wants his girlfriend Xu Meng to be the female guest performer for the next PK!]
Gossip Group: Excuse me????
[Creating a love triangle drama himself? Damn, is it that intense... Oh... Okay, that Xu Meng didn't agree. That makes sense~]
Gossip Group: What a pity.
[Oh my god, does this Yang Hong have some weird fetish? He actually arranged to meet Sun Mo and asked Sun Mo to persuade Xu Meng!]
Gossip Group: This Yang Hong must be sick. But Sun Mo probably won't agree. According to the inside information Gao Hao mentioned earlier, back then Sun Mo was unceremoniously dumped by Xu Meng when he couldn't make it big. Logically, they should firmly refuse to appear on the same stage, wishing to never cross paths again.
[Sun Mo didn't respond...]
Gossip Group: Obviously...
[But he drove to the Starlight Club! That's where Yang Hong asked to meet! Does this count as saying no verbally but being honest with actions? Does he also want Xu Meng to guest perform???!!!]
Gossip Group: But why???!!!
Obviously Ji Fei was also confused.
[What kind of love-hate relationship are you three trying to act out?! Most importantly, who's paired with who?!]
Gossip Group: After considering all the combinations, why does it feel like they'll all end up in a bloody mess?
[Oh my god!!!]
Gossip Group: What's the matter now?
[Pei Mingxuan discovered that Sun Mo is missing and is looking everywhere for him. As a manager who's so protective of her artists' reputations, she definitely wouldn't allow this kind of situation to happen. If she finds them, she'll surely stop it. Wonder when she'll find them...]
[Ahh, I'm so curious! Even though I can find out through the Gossip System, I want to go see the drama in person! Starlight Club... should I...]
Gossip Group: Should you...
"Hey, hey, can you hear me?" Gao Hao was still calling out on the other end.
"Yes, yes, I hear you. I've got something to do, I'll call you back," Ji Fei said, then turned to the three with a sweet smile: "Later, I'll..."
Seeing that they were about to be left behind, Qin's Mom was the first to object, saying: "Why don't we go somewhere else to play later?"
Qin Yan immediately caught on: "Since we're out, why don't we stay up all night and have a blast?"
Qin Rong was also excited, her little face flushed red, "Us Qin Family women should stick together, no one can be left out!"
Ji Fei: ...
"I heard about this high-end club that's supposed to be pretty nice. Later, we can have Xiao Tao take us..."
The proposal passed unanimously.
Far away at the studio, Gao Hao suddenly received a message. His face immediately changed.
"Ji Fei took your Qin Family women to the Starlight Club?"
Qin Zhao, sitting on the sofa, was startled, "What place?"
Gao Hao explained with a bewildered expression, "It's a private, high-end club popular among industry insiders. I used to be worried about you getting into trouble, so I made connections with the staff there. They notify me if they see my artists, but you've always been well-behaved and never went there."
Qin Zhao raised an eyebrow: "It shouldn't be a problem, right? Mom, big sis, and little sis are all with Ji Fei today. They're probably just going to sing karaoke and have some fun."
Gao Hao's expression was peculiar, "It should be fine, I guess, although they do offer male and female companion services for singing..."
Qin Zhao: ?
"Male companions?"
"You know, the type with fair skin, red lips, and six-pack abs..."
Qin Zhao's eyebrow twitched.
Just then, Gao Hao's phone buzzed. He looked down at it and his mouth twitched, "Uh... it looks like your family members ordered ten handsome guys together, covering all theme styles."
Qin Zhao's face darkened.
Qin Family men's group chat:
Qin Zhao: Red alert! Red alert! @Second brother, stop your meeting, @Dad, stop fishing, @Big nephew, you... keep doing your homework!
Let's go go go!
