In the middle of the night, rain started to fall outside with a soft patter.
Having just arrived at a strange new place, Yue Su couldn’t fall asleep.
Especially as the rain grew heavier, and Jiang Wanti’s shrieks echoed from outside.
Her little shack was basically just for decoration — it even had a skylight.
When the rain started, both she and Ling Chenbi were jolted awake.
The first to come out was Yixia, who called Jiang Wanti to bring the child over to her side to avoid the rain.
However, Jiang Wanti acted as if she hadn’t heard and instead took Ling Chenbi toward Fu Xijin’s place.
With nowhere else to go, Shen Junzai and Yuan Jin were forced to seek shelter with Yixia, who gave up her tent for the two of them.
Just when Yue Su thought she could finally get some proper sleep, Jiang Wanti came over.
She had left Ling Chenbi with Fu Xijin and came alone, eyes red and brimming with tears, swallowing her humiliation to seek help from Yue Su.
Yue Su didn’t treat her emotions as anything serious — she merely made room for her and continued holding Yao Yao, trying to sleep.
Jiang Wanti was filled with grievance and complaints, but had no one to talk to. It wasn’t until the latter half of the night that she finally drifted into a fitful sleep.
Yue Su was woken up by Yao Yao.
At two years old, Yao Yao had already stopped wearing diapers, and she rarely wet the bed — usually, she would wake Yue Su up if she needed the bathroom at night.
Tonight was no exception.
“Mommy, I need to pee.”
Yue Su slipped a coat over her, picked her up, and headed outside.
Their camp faced east, and as soon as they stepped out, they saw the sunrise slowly climbing over the horizon.
The sky was painted in hues of red and gold, the surface of the sea shimmering like molten gold — breathtakingly beautiful.
“Wow, Mr. Sun is waking up!” Yao Yao exclaimed.
The production crew was already up early, busy with their preparations.
Wang Qi spotted Yue Su and Yao Yao and came over with a smile.
“Yao Yao, why are you up so early?”
“Good morning, big sister,” Yao Yao replied sweetly. “I woke up because I needed to pee.”
“Then go quickly,” Wang Qi said, chuckling.
After Yue Su helped Yao Yao with her needs, she asked, “Do you want to go back to sleep?”
Yao Yao shook her head, “I can’t sleep anymore. Mommy, let’s go to the supermarket!”
“Alright.”
Yao Yao still clutched more than a thousand yuan in her little hands, eager to spend it.
However, the island’s supermarket wasn’t very big — a single stroll could cover the entire place.
Yue Su did a mental inventory of their supplies. They didn’t need to buy water yet — they still had four bottles left.
Toothbrushes and toothpaste weren’t sold individually; the program provided a hygiene kit sufficient for two people, but it cost 200 yuan.
Daily necessities weren’t too expensive — the priciest items were water and food.
Yue Su picked up a hygiene kit, then turned to see some bread and asked, “Yao Yao, do you want some bread?”
Yao Yao shook her head, “Mommy, can I have a sandwich instead?”
Yue Su glanced at the price — a ham and egg sandwich cost 300 yuan each.
But they could afford it.
“Sure, let’s get two.”
Just like that, they spent 800 yuan.
Afterward, Yue Su took Yao Yao to brush their teeth and wash their faces, unaware that the live broadcast had already started.
The two moved swiftly — one beautiful, one adorable.
【As expected, the early bird gets the worm.】
【Is that her bare face? Yue Su’s skin looks amazing, even under such a close-up. Not a single flaw!】
【The legendary beauty of the entertainment industry wasn’t exaggerated. She’s truly gorgeous.】
【But good looks can’t cover bad character. No matter how pretty Yue Su is, she’ll always be blacklisted.】
Yesterday’s Weibo post by Lu Ying, fueled by Jiang Wanti’s subtle promotion, was still trending even now.
The first day of Wonderful Deserted Island had already trended multiple times, bringing in a flood of new fans today.
Early in the morning, the number of live viewers had already surpassed yesterday’s highest peak.
After freshening up, Yue Su took Yao Yao back and sat down to eat breakfast.
Having a rare moment of peace, she pulled out her phone to check it and finally saw the news online.
Gu Nan: 【[Link] You and Jiang Wanti don’t have any feud, right? Why is she targeting you and even liking posts smearing you?】
Gu Nan: 【Lu Ying and Shen Junzai really are scumbag and tramp — they deserve to be tied together forever.】
Gu Nan: 【[smile][smile][smile]】
Yue Su clicked on the link, which redirected her straight to Weibo, where she saw the statement Lu Ying had posted.
She and Shen Junzai were a package deal. If Shen Junzai’s reputation was ruined, it would hurt her too.
Lu Ying and Shen Junzai slandering her wasn’t the first time.
Yue Su had been out of the industry for years — she had even deactivated her Weibo account — and had never planned to stir up old grudges.
However, the situation now didn’t allow her to turn a blind eye.
She re-registered a new account, using a pseudonym.
Yue Su: 【@Mrs. Shen Lu Ying Stay tuned.】
After years of inactivity on Weibo, Yue Su’s reappearance came with a direct clash against Lu Ying.
Within seconds of her post, the likes had already surpassed a thousand.
【Holy crap, is this Yue Su?】
【Is this real? There’s no verification. Could it be a fake account?】
【It’s real. I came straight from the live broadcast — we all saw her post it.】
【She clashed with Mrs. Shen years ago but got slammed hard back then. Now she’s back again?】
【She just can’t stand seeing others doing well. Mr. and Mrs. Shen are model couples — how many years have they been happily married now?】
【People have been badmouthing them since the day Lu Ying married Mr. Shen, but they’re still going strong.】
This time, Lu Ying didn’t post a Weibo statement — she went straight to a live broadcast to respond to Yue Su.
“Of course we should stay tuned. Let her see with her own eyes how my husband and I grow old together.”
“I know exactly what kind of man my husband is. He even remembers the exact dates of my period every month. If I sneeze, he worries. Every anniversary, every holiday, he never forgets a gift.”
“He keeps a respectful distance from every woman — he’s famous for his gentlemanly conduct. If Yue Su keeps smearing my husband, I will consider taking legal action to defend our reputation.”
“What is she after, anyway? Ha, my husband’s wealth and looks — what else?”
“She tried to latch onto President Fu before, but he ignored her. Now she’s pulling the same old trick with my husband.”
Gu Nan couldn’t stand another second and exited Lu Ying’s live broadcast.
Gu Nan: 【I’m seriously about to puke. She actually said you’re after Shen Junzai!】
Gu Nan: 【Any one of your admirers is a hundred times better than that piece of trash Shen Junzai!】
Gu Nan: 【It’s like clinging onto a pile of crap and thinking it’s a treasure — even flies wouldn’t bother with it — and yet she accuses you of clout-chasing?!】
Yue Su: 【Calm down.】
Gu Nan: 【How can I possibly calm down?! I could go three hundred rounds against them!】
Yue Su turned off her phone and looked up to see Shen Junzai walking over.
“Yue Su, I didn’t expect you to have such deep misunderstandings about me. Why make it so ugly?”
Yue Su gave him a cold look and took a slow bite of her sandwich.
Shen Junzai chuckled wickedly and found a stone to sit on.
“Back then, you threatened to terminate your contract because the company wouldn’t prioritize resources for you. Later, when you insisted on leaving, didn’t the company let you go? We didn’t even ask for penalty fees. I thought, after all these years, we had already made peace.”
Jiang Wanti hadn’t slept well all night, and when she came out, her exhaustion was plain to see.
But after seeing all the online commentary, she felt a little more satisfied inside.
Hearing Shen Junzai’s words, she gave a gentle smile and “kindly” advised Yue Su.
“Yue Su, it’s been so many years already. Why hold onto the past? I’ve known Mr. Shen for many years — his character is worth affirming. If you’re willing, for my sake today, make peace with the past.”
【Our Titi is truly so gentle!】
【She’s so magnanimous toward the woman who once coveted her fiancé — Jiang Wanti is simply too forgiving.】
【Yue Su should know when to quit. Is she addicted to being the third party, clinging to any wealthy man she sees?】
