Chapter 108: Hundred Fox Village
The moment she saw Nan Yuanman, Jiang Xinxin broke down completely.
She had already fled from the Jiang family to her third uncle’s place, so why did she still run into Nan Yuanman?
Jiang Xinxin was so angry that her eyes turned red, and her emotions were a bit out of control: “Why are you so persistent like a ghost? Do you just like going against me that much?!”
When Jiang Chuyun saw Nan Yuanman, he was stunned for a few seconds, then his face instantly darkened, and he questioned: “You’re the Nan Yuanman who’s been bullying Xin Xin at home?”
Nan Yuanman hadn’t expected to run into Jiang Xinxin here so coincidentally either. Hearing Jiang Chuyun’s questioning, she unhappily retorted: “Don’t throw dirty water on me! I’ve never bullied her!”
“You’re still quibbling! If you weren’t bullying Xin Xin, would Xin Xin react so strongly to seeing you?” Jiang Chuyun’s face was grim, his heart full of dislike for Nan Yuanman.
He suppressed the urge to go up, grab her, and force her to apologize to Jiang Xinxin, then turned to the director who was hurrying over and questioned:
“Didn’t you do background checks when selecting guests for the program? Selecting a child with such a nasty personality—what if she bullies other children on the program? Who brought her? Tell them to replace her with a new child right away. If they won’t, replace them! I’ll find you a new guest!”
As the son of S City’s richest person, Jiang Chuyun had the influence in the entertainment industry to make the director replace a guest, and the confidence to say such things.
He didn’t connect Nan Yuanman with Feng Langqing either.
After all, deep down he believed that someone as vicious and nasty as Bai Wenyin wasn’t qualified to know Feng family members.
Her child was even less qualified.
Therefore, he absolutely wouldn’t let Nan Yuanman stay in this baby variety show, and along with it, kick out the guest who brought her too—completely!
Director Ge looked troubled: “This…”
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Langqing’s cold voice rang out: “Quite the tone, Jiang Chuyun.”
Feng Langqing stepped forward, shielding Nan Yuanman behind him, looking down at him coldly: “Yuanman is the one I brought. She’s my sister. Who do you think you are, trying to kick out me and my sister?”
The moment Feng Langqing spoke, Jiang Chuyun was dumbfounded.
He looked at Feng Langqing in disbelief, then at Nan Yuanman protected behind him, his eyes wide, his mind buzzing: “Actor Feng, w-what did you say? She… she’s your sister?”
When did Nan Yuanman become Actor Feng’s sister?!
Feng Langqing sneered coldly: “What else? Could she be your sister? If you want to be her brother, go take a piss and look in the mirror—ask yourself if you’re worthy.”
Jiang Xinxin was also dumbfounded, utterly struck.
She couldn’t believe at all that Nan Yuanman was actually her third uncle’s idol, Actor Feng’s sister!
So that night, the one carrying Nan Yuanman out of the hotel was Actor Feng?!
Why her!
Wasn’t she supposed to be sent by her grandmother and the others to suffer?!
Being spoken to like that by the idol he worshiped, Jiang Chuyun’s face flushed red and pale by turns, burning like he’d been slapped. His mouth opened and closed, unable to say a word for a long time.
He was so embarrassed he wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
He just wanted to show off in front of his idol, but ended up showing off right onto the idol…
H-he didn’t know Nan Yuanman was brought by the idol either!
Feng Langqing scoffed: “I find your Jiang family hilarious. All grown adults in your twenties or thirties, still meddling in children’s affairs and targeting a five-year-old child! Your faces must be thicker than city walls, huh?”
Nan Yuanman’s eyes sparkled as she stared at Jiang Xinxin, eagerly reaching her hand into her small shoulder bag: “Jiang Xinxin, I’ll ask you one more time—are you sure I was always bullying you at the Jiang family? This is your last chance to speak properly.”
Jiang Xinxin noticed her hand movement and suddenly recalled the terrifying feeling of being dominated by the truth talisman at the Jiang family before, bursting into tears with a wail: “Third Uncle, I don’t want to be on TV anymore, I don’t want to, wuwuwuwu…”
Jiang Chuyun hurriedly hugged Jiang Xinxin to the side to comfort her, as if completely forgetting what he’d just said.
Su Yilan secretly rolled her eyes, patted Su Hu’s shoulder: “Go, go play with Sister Yuanman.”
Meng Xi hesitated and glanced at Feng Langqing, seeing him squatting in front of Nan Yuanman softly comforting her. She pursed her lips slightly, then gently patted Meng Juanjuan: “Juan Juan, go comfort Sister Xin Xin.”
Meng Juanjuan shuddered, silently going over to find Jiang Xinxin.
The originally friendly guest meeting was completely ruined by Jiang Xinxin and Jiang Chuyun.
Director Ge wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself how fortunate—he had turned off the livestream room when he sensed something was off earlier.
Otherwise, if the audience in the livestream room heard Jiang Xinxin’s words, who knows how many more people online would blacken Nan Yuanman.
At that point, Actor Feng would explode at him directly.
After comforting Jiang Xinxin, the last group of guests arrived. The last group was a rising young actor named He Junnan, bringing his cousin Lin Lean to the program.
Lin Lean was a cool kid who just stated his name, then stood to the side with hands in pockets, ignoring everyone.
With all five groups of guests gathered, Jiang Chuyun didn’t dare mention kicking Nan Yuanman out of the variety show again, holding Jiang Xinxin’s hand and standing to the side.
Jiang Xinxin’s eyes were red, occasionally sniffling, but her gaze couldn’t help falling on Nan Yuanman. Seeing Feng Langqing sneakily giving her candy, she felt jealous inside.
She tugged at Jiang Chuyun’s hand, whispering: “Third Uncle, I want candy too.”
Jiang Chuyun peeled a piece of candy for her, and only then did the jealousy in Jiang Xinxin’s heart lessen a bit. No problem, she thought.
So what if Nan Yuanman had a brother who doted on her? She had her third uncle who doted on her. As long as her third uncle didn’t like her, that was enough for her!
She would make everyone in the program group know who was the most worth liking!
After having the staff restart the livestream, Director Ge raised the megaphone and shouted: “Good morning, guests. It’s getting late, so please board the bus and head to our final recording location—Hundred Fox Village.”
“On the bus, the staff will arrange for you to draw lots to decide the tasks you’ll need to complete upon arrival. The completion of these tasks will determine your accommodation environment tonight and the abundance of your meals.”
“Please do your best to complete the tasks, so you don’t end up staying in the pigsty.”
At first, Meng Xi just thought Hundred Fox Village sounded familiar but couldn’t recall where she’d heard it.
It wasn’t until she boarded the bus that a flash of realization hit her, and her movements suddenly froze.
Wait…
Hundred Fox Village… isn’t that where she picked up the Fox Great Immortal?!
A trace of unease surged in Meng Xi’s heart. Her hand gripping the luggage tightened slightly. The Fox Great Immortal was now “bound” to her. If they returned to Hundred Fox Village, she shouldn’t go back to that dilapidated shrine, right?
She pursed her lips. No, the Fox Great Immortal wouldn’t abandon her—as long as she quickly provided tribute…
Thinking this, Meng Xi’s gaze couldn’t help falling on Nan Yuanman’s short, chubby back…
