Chapter 61: A Certain Female Guest Wants to See the Sea

Bai Ruoruo’s face turned pale as she listened, panic setting in just as she was about to explain herself. However, Lu Yu, who quickly caught on, immediately questioned her.

“Bai Ruoruo, when you first debuted, were all those luxury brand bags you carried gifts from Mimi?”

“Mm, at that time, she messed up her marketing as a rich girl using a fake bag, then came crying to me. I lost my mind and gave her a few bags, and then…”

No need to say more.

Everyone recalled the events.

Back then, Bai Ruoruo held a press conference, tearfully claiming that her nanny had switched her bags, using the opportunity to market herself as a kind and magnanimous little fairy.

Later, she prominently carried several other luxury brand bags, finally solidifying her rich girl image, putting an end to the accusations that she bought fake goods.

[Bai Ruoruo is really disgusting. Did she consider Mimi a best friend or just an ATM? Disgusting!]

[Ah, just imagine how wronged Mimi must have felt back then. She was the real rich girl but got bashed by netizens for flaunting her wealth, while she gave her friend a bag, helping her build an image on Mimi’s back!]

[I really want to ask, where did Mimi go wrong?]

[Her only mistake was befriending such a disgusting person like Bai Ruoruo back then.]

[This is just Jiang Mi’s side of the story. Anyone who believes her is a fool.]

[Bai Ruoruo’s fans, open your eyes. Your little fairy is right there, isn’t she? If it’s false, why isn’t she speaking up?]

[Who says she hasn’t spoken up? She was pretty smooth in setting up Jiang Mi earlier.]

[Our Ruoruo has a good character and is sincere with her friends. What’s wrong with Jiang Mi giving her a bag? Besides, it wasn’t Bai Ruoruo herself who marketed the rich girl image back then—it was just haters talking.]

[Haha, what a classic case of using someone and then discarding them. Truly, like owner, like fans—a bunch of ungrateful wolves!]

[Each bag costs tens of thousands. Mimi must have given her millions worth of gifts, and in return, this is what she gets? It’s nauseating!]

Bai Ruoruo’s face turned completely white. She wanted to explain, but her mind was blank, and although her mouth opened, no sound came out.

This time, she was genuinely crying.

Shen Mingxuan looked at Jiang Mi, who was being aggressive, and then at Bai Ruoruo, who seemed so pitiful. His heart tilted once again.

Shen Mingxuan furrowed his brow tightly and, slightly displeased, said, “You two are friends. It’s normal to exchange gifts. And those incidents happened a long time ago, so why bring them up now?”

Hmph, what a “gift exchange.”

The original Jiang Mi had casually given away bags and jewelry worth tens of thousands.

In return, Bai Ruoruo gave Jiang Mi a PUA package with just a few words.

Jiang Mi let out a cold laugh, about to speak when suddenly a deep, magnetic male voice interrupted.

“She had the nerve to be ungrateful; why shouldn’t Mimi speak up?”

The cold question tore apart Bai Ruoruo’s mask completely.

Jiang Mi looked up and saw the man leaning against the door frame, his body bathed in the morning sunlight, which cast a faint golden glow around him, making him look like a divine figure.

Jiang Mi’s cold and frosty expression immediately blossomed into a sweet, gentle smile.

[Brother Chuan protecting his wife with such dominance!!!]

[Ahhhh, who understands this? It’s so perfect—the way he indulgently watches his girlfriend argue, but if the opponent starts bringing in people, he immediately steps in to protect her. It’s just overflowing with a sense of security.]

[Yes, yes, yes! That kind of deep-rooted tenderness is so sweet it could kill you!]

[Jiang Mi’s smile is so sweet and delicate. Just now, her face was so cold, but now it’s like spring has arrived!]

Shen Mingxuan frowned deeply at Gu Chuan’s blunt and harsh words. He wanted to retort, but the man’s powerful aura was overwhelming, and instinctively, he felt a tinge of fear.

At that moment, Bai Ruoruo’s body stiffened, and she fell into Shen Mingxuan’s arms. Delighted, he quickly asked, “Ruoruo, what’s wrong? Director, call an ambulance!”

The director, who had been quietly watching the drama unfold, was suddenly called out and reluctantly stepped in to take control. “She looks so pale; let’s make sure nothing serious happens. I’ll have her sent to the hospital immediately.”

Bai Ruoruo, appearing strong, opened her eyes with a weak voice, maintaining her image as a dedicated professional working through illness.

“No need. I just skipped breakfast to make it on time for the live stream and got a bit hypoglycemic. I’ll be fine after some rest.”

The director resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

Originally, the live stream was scheduled for ten hours later, but Bai Ruoruo had shown up early in the morning, insisting on streaming earlier.

If a guest is eager to generate buzz for the show, the director wouldn’t object, but who could have known that Bai Ruoruo was deliberately targeting Jiang Mi?

Seeing her now, with her reputation shattered and her body weak, it’s clear—if you don’t ask for trouble, you won’t get any.

But the show must go on, so the director gathered all the guests on the lawn, using the live stream to briefly explain the delay.

“The next two episodes, three and four, will be recorded together. The live stream will begin as scheduled in ten hours.”

The guests expressed surprise, but none seemed particularly invested, just going through the motions.

After all, the change in recording time needed to be coordinated with the artists in advance.

Only Jiang Mi seemed out of the loop.

She instinctively looked at Gu Chuan, her bright eyes filled with suspicion. “Why didn’t I know?”

“You knew first,” Gu Chuan’s voice was low, with a hint of tenderness.

She knew first?

How could that be?

She clearly…

Suddenly, a scene flashed before her eyes.

In the morning, in the garden house, she and Gu Chuan cuddled on the sofa. The man whispered in her ear, asking where she wanted to go.

Could it be!

Her heart skipped a beat!

Just then, the director also looked at Jiang Mi and spoke up.

“The recording location is a private island. Three days will be for filming, and the rest of the time, the guests can enjoy themselves on the island.”

“Special note: The island is sponsored by a very generous backer, supposedly because a certain female guest wants to see the sea.”
