I’ve Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show

Qiao Yu spoke calmly, then opened the ice cream in her hand. She threw the lid into the trash can, scooped a spoonful of ice cream to her lips, and took a light sip, then walked past Lu Wenling with an extremely composed demeanor.
As she passed by, she even smiled with a hint of relish and said, “Hmm, not bad.”
Lu Wenling turned his head and glanced at her.
The girl was wearing a cartoon pajama with a big pink pocket on the back, making her look exceptionally young and cute. It seemed like she had just taken a bath, her long hair half-wet and draped over her shoulders. When she walked past him, a subtle fresh floral scent drifted into his nose.
His brow furrowed instantly, for a moment unsure whether the ‘not bad’ she was savoring referred to the ice cream or his physique.
Was it his imagination, or did he always feel like he was being teased by a little kid?
Just as this thought occurred to Lu Wenling, he saw Qiao Yu stop in her tracks and turn around.
Lu Wenling instinctively lowered his head and quickly checked all the buttons on his clothes, making sure they were all fastened before he felt at ease.
He couldn’t be a bad influence on children.
Qiao Yu looked at him and said softly, “By the way, I’m going to a classmate’s birthday party tomorrow, so I might come back late.”
“You must be home before midnight.”
“I’m not underage, nor am I Cinderella. Why must I be home by midnight?”
Lu Wenling looked at her and said heartlessly, “Because this is my place, and after midnight, see who dares to take you in.”
“…” Qiao Yu huffed and went upstairs.
Did she think she left the Qiao Family to play around in Jiang City for no one to care about her?
It was only then that Lu Wenling glanced at the time; it was nearly two in the morning.
The ‘state official’ Qiao Yu referred to was him.
Lu Wenling clicked his tongue lightly. Are kids nowadays so rebellious and difficult to manage?
…
In the end, Xu Nianying was carried home by other wealthy young men.
Zhou Jinyuan didn’t really intend to do anything to Xu Nianying, he just wanted to see how much inside information Xu Nianying would spit out. Unexpectedly, Xu Nianying was tight-lipped and didn’t reveal a word.
It was difficult to investigate matters from over a decade ago. He had only heard by chance that it was related to the Xu Family, but whether Xu Nianying knew or remembered anything was hard to say.
However, after today’s incident, if Xu Nianying was feigning ignorance with him, he would definitely feel guilty and re-examine the past events to see who might have leaked the information. Zhou Jinyuan just needed to be more attentive to Xu Nianying.
If the Chen family had not been forced away by someone back then, they wouldn’t be in such a dire situation now, and the real childhood friend should have been him and Chen Xixi, not that Xu Yichen.
At the club’s underground parking lot.
Xu Nianying was helped into his car by two young men. His eyes were blurry as he leaned back in the rear seat, waving at his friends outside the car, slurring, “Don’t… don’t go… I… I’m fine! I can still drink!”
An inch-headed man outside the car, with a cigarette in his mouth, jeered, “With your tolerance, just give it a rest, don’t drink yourself to death!”
After the inch-headed man spoke, he patted the driver’s window and tilted his head, signaling the driver to quickly take away the drunkard.
The black Rolls-Royce slowly left the dim underground parking lot, and as the street lights successively reflected into the car, a pair of exceedingly clear eyes gazed steadily out at the glittering splendor of the night through the window, with not a trace of drunkenness on the man’s face.
…
Challenge reality show on site.
Every guest was stunned.
Because the way Chen Xixi won was just too unique, it was difficult not to draw attention, and the celebrity guests couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration for this interesting and fun average girl.
At the same time, they also had the fortune to witness the entire process of Zheng He being taken away by the police.
Before, they had only seen it online, but seeing it firsthand was a first.
It was pretty eye-catching indeed.
These two guests truly were the pillars that drew attention in the thrift-oriented variety show!
[I was scared to death! When the police officers came earlier, I thought my brother’s house was about to collapse! But all is well, all is well!]
[I thought something happened to my Yingying, it’s good that it’s not the case, really good!]
[Even though your brothers and sisters are all top celebrities in the entertainment circle, Zheng He is a top icon in the police circle. With Zheng He there, it’s not yet their turn to “collapse houses,” rest assured!]
After Zheng He was taken away, Chen Xixi used the Gold Coins she had laboriously obtained after nearly three hours to exchange for a tent.
The other winning guests, Jiang Xingze, Guan Yingying, and another male star, all exchanged for different dinners.
So, with Zheng He taken into the police station, his challenge was deemed a failure.
Jin Cheng, who never had to worry about food or clothing, had never done such tiring work before, and gave up working after trying for a bit and simply found a cool place to rest.
During this time, Jin Cheng was nearly driven insane, he gritted his teeth thinking that just four more days and he’d be back home living the high life! Just enduring a bit longer! Once home, he would be the carefree, elegant young master again!
By then, he would invite his good friend… his good brother, Chen Xixi, to go out and have fun together, with all expenses paid by Mr. Jin himself!
He also decided that he would make sure his uncle looked after Chen Xixi more at workplace, as his good friend cannot suffer any grievance!
Concerning the idea of introducing Chen Xixi to his uncle, he decided to change his mind. Chen Xixi’s boyfriend shouldn’t be just anyone, he thought she deserved someone as meticulous and intelligent as he is, someone who knows how to take care of a girl, like his uncle… No, his uncle’s cold face seemed to betray a potential for emotional coldness.
He can’t push Chen Xixi into an ice cellar!
Although Han Qianyi came from an ordinary family, she had never done work this taxing, and physically, she just wasn’t up to completing such a daunting challenge.
As for Wan Chen, he was extremely careful not to dirty his clothes and complained that carrying parcels was too much trouble; he was all furrowed brows throughout, twisting around more than a pretzel.
The netizens watching wanted to reach through their screens to help him with the work.
[Why does Wan Chen look like he’s also suffering from young master syndrome?]
[Didn’t someone leak that Wan Chen’s family also has some money? So, a bit of young master syndrome is normal. But what I don’t get is if Wan Chen’s family is rich, why would he come on the show and compete with a poor person like Chen Xixi for the five million prize money?]
[Maybe the richer one is, the harder they try? They wouldn’t pass an opportunity to make money?]
[Everyone else exchanged for dinner, why didn’t Chen Xixi choose dinner? What does she need a tent for?]
[Yeah, what’s the use of a tent! She’s only staying at the challenge reality show for a day, and the thrift-oriented variety show has accommodations, she doesn’t need a tent at all!]
[She didn’t do any work, but it’s already dinner time, isn’t she hungry? Why doesn’t she exchange for dinner? Insisting on getting a tent?]
Not only were the netizens curious, but Jin Cheng and others, as well as Jiang Xingze and the other stars, were also very curious why Chen Xixi did not choose dinner but instead exchanged for a tent.
Chen Xixi looked with satisfaction at the tent, which was made of good material and also had a really nice design, a light smile spreading across her face.
