Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yan Ruo called for the staff to bring them a few clean plates. The few of them finally did not have to stand there with cherries in their hands like they were punished.
“Go on, Miss Zheng.” Bai Lin stood at the door and made a welcoming gesture.
Zheng You looked utterly embarra.s.sed. She was really scared now.
She was the young lady of the Zheng Family and the future heir to the family business. She was also the candidate for the marriage with the Yan Family. If she did something like this, would she not be disgracing the Zheng Family? Not only would the Zheng Family’s shares be affected, she would also lose the trust of the board of directors in the future.
Once that happened, the marriage with the Yan Family would no longer be possible…
Zheng You tugged at Yan Ruo’s sleeve as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw, hoping that he would come forward and say something on account of their past relationship and the many years ot friendship between the two families so that she would not be humiliated like this.
“Yan-gege, I’ll apologize to Miss Bai. Can I not…”
“Miss Zheng, if you’re willing to bet, you must accept your loss. Now that Xiao Lin’s done her part, are you going to go back on your word?” Yan Ruo coldly brushed her hand away. “And I’m not familiar with you. I hope you don’t call me so intimately again.”
[I told you, Lin-jie will definitely be able to give Zheng You a slap in the face. See, there’s nothing Lin-jie can’t do.]
[Why’d Zheng You ask Best Actor Yan to help her? Is she so shameless? How dare she bets but doesn’t dare to admit her loss?]
[Our Youyou’s already said that she’s going to apologize. What else do you want?]
[Please! She was the one who insisted on the bet with Lin-jie. She was the one who started it first. This is how daughters from rich families behave huh?]
[Wasn’t she very aggressive just now? Why does she look like she’s about to cry now? Is it that hard to accept punishment after losing?]
The atmosphere in the hall had almost dropped to freezing point. The production team had not expected such a situation to occur.
Sun Han looked at the increasing number of views even though it was already late at night. He could not help but sigh when he saw the trending hashtags about Bai Lin and Zheng You on Weibo’s hot search.
Some people were born to be able to create topics of conversation!
Bai Lin, who had been invited for this episode, was the production team’s lucky star. She was the G.o.d of wealth!
“Don’t go too far! Youyou’s already agreed to apologize. Do you really have to force her like this?!” Jing Shan felt indignant. How could he tolerate the princess, whom he had always loved and protected, being humiliated like this?
“But we didn’t force her to do it. She said it herself,” Li Xuan fed Ye Xing a cherry and retorted indifferently.
Zheng You’s feet seemed to be tied with lead b.a.l.l.s as every step she took stung her as if the ground was covered with thorns.
“Youyou, you don’t have to do this. How can you…” Jing Shan still wanted to persuade Zheng You, but she walked out of the door as if she did not hear him.
She gritted her teeth. She would not allow herself to show any more weakness at a time like this. It would only embarra.s.s her more.
With this thought in mind, Zheng You quickly walked to the step outside the door, where there were still traces of the fire extinguisher Bai Lin had sprayed with.
“I… I’m an idiot, I’m an idiot, I’m an idiot!”
The first sentence was difficult to say, and she almost cried with the second and third sentences.
Bai Lin did not intend to make things difficult for her any further. Seeing that Zheng You was being protected in Jing Shan’s arms as if she was about to faint, she did not say anything and just sat back in her seat to pour herself a gla.s.s of water.
Bai Lin would not deliberately humiliate anyone, but Zheng You had no enmity with her in the past or present, yet she always wanted to pick on her. Was it because of Yan Ruo?
As she thought of this, she glanced at Yan Ruo. Yan Ruo noticed her gaze and smiled at her.
Tsk.
The man was indeed quite good-looking. If it was not for her good self-control, she would definitely have been charmed by him!
What Bai Lin did not know was that after this incident, Zhou Guang’s impression of Yan Ruo as his “brother-in-law” had improved by quite a bit.
At this moment, a staff member appeared and informed them that the next stage of the game could officially start. He took away their earphones and gave each of them a communication bracelet.
As a reward for completing the hidden quest, they had received a new clue.
“The doctor didn’t buy the poison..”
