Chapter 99: Bai Ruoruo, Are You Going to Wear It?

With her slender figure and elegant demeanor, the creamy white cover-up concealed the girl’s snow-white skin, reducing her originally provocative appearance by a third while adding a touch of misty allure.

【Ahhh, Mimi is finally out!】

【Quick, spill it—where did those five minutes of disappearance go?】

【What’s going on? Brother Chuan went away for a moment, and when he returned, Mimi had an extra cover-up. Analyze that!】

【Tsk tsk tsk, when a man gets jealous, his mind is really just a needlepoint.】

Not only were the comments buzzing, but the male guests present were also curious.

Cheng Lin couldn’t help but say, “Ahem, Mimi, your outfit is really nice, haha.”

Gu Chuan shot him a glare, and Cheng Lin immediately pretended not to notice anything, as if he hadn’t seen Jiang Mi’s stunning swimsuit.

He hadn’t seen Gu Chuan’s blackened face blocking all view.

He certainly hadn’t seen Gu Chuan putting a cover-up on Jiang Mi!

The other female guests, who arrived later, were unaware of what had happened but were still impressed by Jiang Mi’s beauty and figure.

Only Bai Ruoruo looked at Jiang Mi with a darkened face, full of jealousy and resentment.

She had seen Jiang Mi leave earlier and had deliberately timed her own appearance to be last, intending to be the showstopper.

But Jiang Mi was so scheming, deliberately appearing early to mislead everyone, then hiding away to observe until the other guests had appeared before making a dramatic entrance in a different outfit to draw attention!

What a scheming woman!

Bai Ruoruo cursed Jiang Mi in her mind, only to suddenly hear Lu Yu’s cheerful voice, “Director, Director, I’m reporting that Mimi isn’t wearing a swimsuit.”

Bai Ruoruo’s heart leaped with joy and she quickly chimed in, “Yes, Director, why is Mimi’s outfit different from ours? Aren’t you showing her favoritism?”

When Bai Ruoruo said this, several guests had displeased expressions, especially Lu Yu.

She only intended to make a joke and wasn’t trying to mock anyone.

But with Bai Ruoruo’s comment, it seemed like she was secretly squeezing Jiang Mi, which she wasn’t!

【Bai Ruoruo is being so passive-aggressive, clearly mocking Mimi.】

【Jiang Mi’s fans, enough already. Lu Yu was the one who brought it up first, and Ruoruo was just following up. If you’re angry, blame Lu Yu first!】

【Exactly. Lu Yu and Jiang Mi always loved to stir up their friend dynamic. Looks like it backfired this time.】

【Nonsense. Lu Yu’s comment was clearly a joke between friends, with no intent of mockery. Bai Ruoruo is the one with the hidden agenda, wanting to accuse Mimi of favoritism.】

【A scheming person is a scheming person, no matter where they go!】

At this moment, Jiang Mi looked at Bai Ruoruo with a half-smile, “You think my cover-up is different?”

Bai Ruoruo hated Jiang Mi’s gaze, feeling as if she was just a pesky insect in Jiang Mi’s eyes.

Bai Ruoruo clenched her fists and replied with a forced tone, “The director’s team said all guests should wear swimsuits, and you’re the only one not wearing one.”

Jiang Mi smiled brightly, “You can just say I’m getting special treatment.”

Bai Ruoruo was not backing down this time, as she believed she was right. Jiang Mi was using her connection with Gu Chuan to get special treatment!

This time, she was determined to make Jiang Mi take the blame.

“Isn’t that the case? We’re all wearing swimsuits, so why do you get to wear a cover-up?” Bai Ruoruo pressed.

Lu Yu realized her mistake and quickly said, “Bai Ruoruo, are you serious? The show did say swimsuits, but Mimi is wearing a swimsuit too. Why are you being so aggressive?”

The more Lu Yu got upset, the more fierce she became.

The more pleased Bai Ruoruo felt.

She reddened her eyes, sounding pitiful, “I didn’t mean it. Lu Yu, you were the one who mentioned it first.”

Lu Yu was anxious to explain, but couldn’t find the words.

Because she had indeed said those words first.

Why was she so foolish to drag Mimi into this mess?

Lu Yu was overwhelmed by guilt and self-reproach, on the verge of tears.

Bai Ruoruo, on the other hand, felt increasingly triumphant. She saw Lu Yu’s current state and felt her old feelings of superiority returning.

It should be like this.

She had used this tactic to force those annoying girls into a corner, and all the men loved her pitiful appearance.

Yes, it should be like this, it should be…

But in the next moment.

“That nickname, Little Taro, is something you can call?” Jiang Mi’s cold voice interrupted her thoughts.

Bai Ruoruo was unhappy and was about to retort when Fu Li suddenly spoke, “No, she’s not worthy.”

Lu Yu’s bright, round eyes looked at Jiang Mi and then at Fu Li, feeling a warm current in her heart.

Bai Ruoruo was stunned. What was Fu Li doing here? Why was he joining in?

But this question would remain unanswered. Jiang Mi’s voice was icy, “Wearing a cover-up at the beach is quite normal. The director’s team has prepared many. If you want one, you can go and get it.”

At this moment, the director also picked up a small rattan basket with several different-colored cover-ups inside.

“We prepared them for all female guests, but whether to wear them is up to the guests. Oh, and we have some for male guests as well. Our show doesn’t do favoritism or gender discrimination.”

Jiang Mi’s smile was cold, “Bai Ruoruo, do you want to wear one?”

Bai Ruoruo’s face turned red and green as she said angrily, “Jiang Mi, you’re doing this on purpose. You and the director’s team planned this to deliberately scheme against me.”

【Is Bai Ruoruo crazy?】

【Does she have a persecution complex or what?】

【Yeah, she’s the one who brought this up first, and now she’s saying Jiang Mi and the show are plotting against her?】

Jiang Mi, tying the loose cover-up at her waist to reveal a slender, white waist, smiled coldly.

Sharp and beautiful!

“Is it a scheme when you come looking for trouble, fail, and then angrily accuse others?”

“Or is it a scheme when your princess syndrome flares up, and you don’t want to wear it but don’t want anyone else to wear it either?”

“Freedom to wear clothes, Miss Bai, is something you want to control too? Next, will you want everyone to run naked just because you want to, and if they don’t, it’s special treatment and isolation of you?”

Bai Ruoruo was too agitated to find a rebuttal, unable to respond to Jiang Mi’s straightforward accusations.

Lu Yu, who had been schemed against once, clapped forcefully, “Bai Ruoruo, take a look in the mirror. You’re always looking for trouble and still have the nerve to accuse others.”

Afterward, Lu Yu happily went over to Jiang Mi to explain quietly.

“Mimi, I really didn’t mean to target you. I was just trying to joke around but spoke too hastily…”

“We’re friends, so say whatever you want. Don’t think too much about it.”

“I knew it, Mimi, you’re the best!”

With the air cleared, Lu Yu excitedly hugged Jiang Mi.

Jiang Mi also hugged Lu Yu back. After all, it would be rude not to return the hug when someone had come to her, and who doesn’t love an energetic, sweet girl?
