Chapter 25 A Secret Even Cheng Ai Didn't Know
[Haha, look at Feifei's unwilling look, anyone who didn't know better would think there's something shady inside.]
Since Zhong Zheyi had been standing to the side without leaving, he was chosen to go on stage next.
But his luck seemed to be bad; the numbers he dialed went unanswered, yet his expression was terribly sorrowful.
Then there was Wu Xu. He got through on the phone, but upon hearing the voice on the other end, he instantly burst into tears.
Stop crying, eat your noodles!
[It's supposed to be an adventure variety show, but why is it being made like a food program?]
[It looks so delicious! *slurp*]
With a complicated expression, Cheng Ai helped Wu Xu back to his chair. Just as she was about to start playing a game, a talisman was handed to her by a large hand.
She glanced at Zhong Zheyi, who had already lowered his head beside her, and held the talisman between two fingertips, murmuring, "A freezing talisman?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xu hastily wiped away his tears and asked in a trembling voice, "Ai girl, you can name the talismans, do you also understand Taoist arts?"
Cheng Ai placed the talisman in his hand and replied conservatively, "I know a little bit about it."
After saying that, she walked to the long table and sat down, filled with deep doubt.
Wu Xu is 68 years old this year. Logically speaking, a Taoist priest of such an advanced age should use high-grade talismans. However, the one he just used was clearly the lowest grade, with extremely poor effect, lasting only three seconds at most.
Of course, to outsiders, he is just an ordinary person, so it's normal that he's reluctant to waste good things.
Seeing Cheng Ai staring blankly at her phone, Gong Qian couldn't help but ask, "Miss Cheng, have you decided who you want to call?"
[My angel brother is so thoughtful. If he hadn't helped Cheng Ai tear off the talisman, I would have completely forgotten about it.]
Don't deliberately drag it out, hurry up!
[Her mother died, she can't contact her father, and she doesn't have any relatives or friends. I guess she'll have to withdraw from the competition.]
What are you standing there for? Trying to steal the spotlight?
Netizens were buzzing with discussion, while Cheng Ai dialed the phone.
Ye Jingke, who was still in a meeting, saw the incoming call, raised an eyebrow, gestured for his subordinates to stop their discussion, and then swiped to answer the call.
"Ai Ai?"
The moment his deep, magnetic voice emanated from the microphone, the live stream chat exploded:
[Ahhh, it's Nightfall, the movie star! Cheng Ai actually called him!]
My husband's voice is so soothing, it's like my ears are pregnant.
[What's the relationship between my brother and Cheng Xiaosan? Why does he call her Ai Ai? Damn, I'm so jealous!]
"Well, it's me."
Cheng Ai picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the spicy chicken noodles. With one chew, her taste buds exploded instantly, and a stimulating sensation surged through her entire body like a tidal wave. The spiciness was comparable to a volcanic eruption, but it was surprisingly delicious!
As she slurped her drinks, she asked casually, "It's almost midnight, why aren't you asleep yet?"
[Hmm? Didn't the spicy chicken noodles have ten seasoning packets? Why is Cheng Ai eating it so deliciously?]
【Wu Yuzi, you called and woke them up, then asked why they weren't asleep. That's some seriously bizarre logic!】
"I'm in a meeting." Ye Jingke crossed his long legs gracefully, but his gaze remained fixed on the iPad screen on his right. "You did well, keep it up."
"Thank you for the gift, I really like it." Cheng Ai stuffed another large dollop of spicy chicken noodles into her mouth, her eyes squinting with satisfaction. "Have things been peaceful these past few days?"
[They were speaking Chinese, so why can't I understand them?]
[Me too, but one thing's for sure: Night Emperor is watching Cheng Ai's live stream!]
【What gift? Honey, you can't be biased, I want one too!】
"Nothing serious happened. I always keep those two talismans with me." Ye Jingke tapped the table casually with his fingers. "How about I give you another big gift?"
Cheng Ai took a sip of water, flashed a toothy smile at the camera, and said, "Okay~ I'm waiting~"
[A talisman? What talisman? Did Wu Xu give it to you privately?]
[I strongly suspect that Nightingale was deliberately cooperating with Cheng Ai, after all, I heard the sounds of her eating noodles and drinking water.]
Ye Jingke picked up his iPad and casually browsed through the official Weibo account of Zhongxing Entertainment, a satisfied smile curving his lips.
Zou Kun was quite sensible; he knew to sacrifice a pawn to save the king.
"Go check out the trending topics first."
Cheng Ai slurped down two mouthfuls of spicy chicken noodles, mumbled an "oh," and calmly opened Weibo, immediately noticing several eye-catching headlines at the top of the homepage:
Hao Jian's affair exposed
Cheng Baoni wildly scatters Wang Ying's ashes and dances passionately.
Hao Jian followed and threatened Cheng Aifei late at night.
Cheng Baoni caused a scene in the airplane cabin, and Hao Jian violated passenger privacy.
Zou Xuan is the new king of the third school
Cheng Ai remained quite calm about the first four messages, but the last one was rather puzzling.
She clicked on it, and after reading it, she couldn't help but shake her head.
It turns out that Wang Ying and Cheng Yunfan had already obtained their marriage certificate. Zou Xuan, relying on her wealth and power, forcibly separated them and married into the Cheng family.
The lab report that Cheng Baoni exposed was the last prenatal checkup that Cheng Yunfan took for Wang Ying before the divorce.
Gong Qian was also scrolling through his phone when he saw this, and immediately pointed the camera at Hao Jian and Cheng Baoni, giving them plenty of screen time.
At this moment, apart from the production team and Cheng Ai, the other five guests had all handed over their communication devices and had no idea what had happened.
They couldn't see it, but the viewers in the live stream knew everything perfectly well, and the barrage of comments scrolled wildly, more intense than ever before.
[It turns out that the woman who inherited the tradition of being the third party in a marriage wasn't Cheng Ai, but Cheng Baoni!]
[My goodness! Hao Jian always acts so harmless on the show, I never imagined he was so wicked at heart.]
No wonder Xiao Ai ended up in a mental hospital; she was constantly being frightened or provoked. What normal person could withstand that?
[My heart aches for Wang Ying. She couldn't be with the man she loved in life, and after her death, her ashes were dug up by her rival's daughter and used as dance props. It's so tragic.]
[The Nightingale Emperor is such a good person; without him, Cheng Ai definitely wouldn't have made it through.]
Why is everyone criticizing the Hao Bao CP? Where are all the fans who supported them before? Come out and say something!
I think the name "Hao Bao" doesn't suit them; they should be called "Ni Hao Jian" instead.
[The truth is revealed upstairs! 】
Cheng Yunfan is not innocent either. His daughter was attacked online, and he stood by and watched coldly. This kind of man should be dragged out and shot!
[Wu Xu, who takes three breaths to speak a single sentence; Song Yifei, who is obsequious to the powerful; Cheng Ai, who has violent tendencies; Zhong Zheyi, a fallen angel who lost his parents; Cheng Baoni, who caused a scene in the cabin; Hao Jian, who violated passengers' privacy—what kind of freaks did the production team invite?]
Take a look if you want, otherwise get lost!
Seeing that the other party did not respond for a long time, Ye Jingke smiled and interjected, "Ai Ai, aren't you going to give your thoughts?"
Cheng Ai left Weibo expressionlessly and continued eating her spicy noodles. "Justice will prevail, I have nothing to say."
