Chapter 418: Chapter 418 The Program Begins
By the ti everything was prepared, it was already evening.
After dinner, Han Jing stayed at Lan Yu’s house, shalessly claiming that he was worried she’d feel lonely being by herself, stubbornly refusing to leave.
anwhile, Lu Youming, Lu Youye, and Li Muchen accompanied Lu Sheng back to the Shi family’s old mansion.
After all, with Lu Sheng heading off to participate in the show for ten days, she needed to return and let Shi Mingxiu and Shi Erya know, as well as prepare the herbal dicine the old man needed for the next ten days to boost his vitality.
So, she arranged to et Lan Yu and Han Jing directly at the entrance of Qingmang Tower tomorrow afternoon.
As soon as Lu Sheng and the others entered the old mansion, they bumped into Shi Yuwei, who just happened to be coming downstairs.
When their eyes t, Li Muchen and Lu Youming’s gazes instantly turned icy. Lu Youye gritted his teeth, clearly itching to curse, but was held back by Lu Sheng.
Shi Yuwei looked at Lu Sheng, no longer bothering to feign her previous friendly and kind deanor.
With undisguised hostility on her face, she spat out, “Talk?”
Lu Sheng remained expressionless and replied, “Sure.”
Li Muchen frowned involuntarily, wanting to say sothing, but Lu Sheng gently shook her head, signaling him not to worry.
When the two walked to a secluded corner, Shi Yuwei stared at Lu Sheng for a few seconds, then let out a cold laugh before speaking.
“Qiangwei, I really underestimated you. You managed to make take a tumble before I even got on the show. You must be feeling pretty pleased with yourself, right?”
Lu Sheng’s response was cool and detached.
She glanced at Shi Yuwei indifferently and said coldly, “Weren’t you the one who first used Soul Power to spill the porridge, trying to make look bad on cara and boost yourself?”
“You were the one who said we wouldn’t interfere with each other, and then you broke that promise first. Since that’s the case, don’t bla for being ruthless.”
Shi Yuwei was provoked by Lu Sheng’s icy indifference and gritted her teeth, saying, “…Qiangwei, don’t get cocky.”
“Do you think playing the green tea act during yesterday’s live stream can do anything to ? Haven’t I already turned the narrative around online?”
“Yesterday’s live stream was just an appetizer. Once the show starts, whether it’s popularity or strength, I refuse to believe you can surpass .”
“Oh, really?” Lu Sheng raised her eyes and retorted faintly. Before turning away, she tossed out one last remark, “Then just keep believing that. What does it have to do with ?”
This complete disregard infuriated Shi Yuwei so much that her hands almost trembled.
After the third acupuncture session, Old Mr. Shi’s health had visibly improved.
Upon returning ho that evening, Lu Sheng discovered that Chen Guifen and Mrs. Wang were no longer employed at the Shi family mansion, likely fired by Shi Mingxiu.
She gave the ten-day supply of herbal dicine she had prepared to the family’s trusted old butler, instructing him to personally oversee the brewing and ensure Old Mr. Shi drank it every day.
That evening, the butler arranged for Li Muchen, Lu Youming, and Lu Youye to stay in guest rooms on the first floor.
Shi Yuwei, anwhile, was scheming in her heart. The original owner of Lu Sheng’s current body was just a private-born girl raised in the countryside—what status or power could she possibly have?
The fact that she was able to thrive like this could only be due to Li Muchen’s influence.
The n Lu Sheng could attract—couldn’t she attract them too? She was a Fox Demon, after all. Just a bit of seductive magic would make these mortal n utterly powerless to resist.
So, later that night, Shi Yuwei deliberately wore a partially revealing yet ostensibly innocent camisole dress and “accidentally” fell at the doorway of Li Muchen’s room.
With a coquettish and pitiful tone, she called out, “Ah, it hurts…”
But after waiting for a long ti, nobody ca out of the room.
Using the excuse of her sprained ankle, Shi Yuwei knocked on the door. But after knocking for ages, there was still no response.
When she finally opened the door to check, the room was empty—it was clear no one had even slept in the bed.
At one in the morning, where was Li Muchen if not in his own room?
The thought that Li Muchen was likely in Lu Sheng’s room, accompanying her to sleep, twisted Shi Yuwei’s face with jealousy.
Ever since she inhabited this body, aside from her three older brothers, she had rarely encountered any tall, pure-essence n. She, a Fox Demon steeped in desire, was being forced to live an ascetic life.
Why did Lu Sheng get to have Li Muchen accompanying her every day?
Jealousy turned the stinking demon’s face hideous.
–
The next afternoon, Chen An, who had accompanied Li Muchen on a trip to Beijing to deal with the new company’s affairs, showed up at the Shi family mansion’s entrance.
“Miss, I’ve co to escort you, President Li, and the two young masters to Qingmang Tower,” Chen An said respectfully to Lu Sheng.
Watching Lu Sheng and Li Muchen board the shiny new Rolls-Royce together with her two brothers, Shi Suxin scoffed coldly and ordered the butler to arrange a driver for Shi Yuwei.
She specifically had the Shi family’s priciest car brought out, clearly ant to make a show.
When Shi Yuwei got in the car, her first instruction to the driver was to overtake Lu Sheng’s car and to drive as fast as possible.
Yet, Lu Sheng’s group didn’t seem to care about her in the slightest.
At Qingmang Tower, Lu Sheng’s group hadn’t even stepped out of the car when they saw Han Jing and Lan Yu already waiting at the entrance.
“Shengsheng~ We’re here—”
Lan Yu waved at Lu Sheng through the car window in greeting. Her two large suitcases seed to have now fully beco Han Jing’s responsibility.
At the sa ti, Lu Sheng noticed multiple caras set up at the entrance, aid at their direction from various angles.
“…Does the filming start as soon as we enter the building?” Lu Youming frowned slightly.
“Right now, livestreaming is the trend. These caras must be covering the show,”
Lu Sheng turned to glance at Li Muchen and gently squeezed the back of his hand, “I’ll go in with Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother first. You and Chen An can enter through another entrance to avoid being caught on cara and sparking more gossip.”
Li Muchen, ever the obedient one when it ca to Lu Sheng, replied in agreent.
This new Qingmang TV program had unprecedented levels of secrecy; even the business proposal presented to investors only contained a few cryptic, enigmatic lines.
Li Muchen had co today mainly to inspect what the show’s format was actually like.
Lu Sheng and her two brothers stepped out of the car. Her suitcase was pushed by Lu Youye, her backpack carried by Lu Youming, while she was safely flanked in the center. The sight of the three of them together instantly drove the already buzzing excitent in the livestream to new heights.
Their looks were simply too stunning—these three siblings were like eye candy that had the audience drooling.
Correction—it was actually two stunning ones.
