Chapter 199: Chapter 199: You Found Out Long Ago?
“Damn, the production team is actually being so generous this ti, giving out thirty points in one go?”
“That’s not right, it seems like it was just a fluke for Su Yinwan. Old Mr. He only got one point after catching more than a dozen fish for granddad.”
“What’s the big deal, Jiang Yan has been working hard up to now and still doesn’t know that he’s been doing a pointless task.”
“This sister-in-law is so aweso, she gave birth to four kids in five years, I’m dumbfounded.”
“People in the mountains are all like this, it’s very normal, it’s too common to have four or five kids per family.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yinwan breathed a sigh of relief.
She had thought that such a high good score would be for so tricky task.
It turned out to be just taking care of children.
No problem then, she had always been great with kids.
Seeing her agree happily, Sister-in-law Lan let out a sigh of relief and grew even more excited.
“Alright, girl, as long as you agree, that’s great. Let take you to see the other three kids.”
Su Yinwan followed Sister-in-law Lan into the house.
Despite being ntally prepared beforehand, Su Yinwan still felt a bit intimidated deep down when she saw the three kids of varying heights sitting in a row.
Even though they had been washed clean and changed into new clothes, the patches all over their garnts and the children’s rosy cheeks still rendered her silent.
These kids shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with, right?
They wouldn’t have any contagious diseases, would they?
While she was still in a daze, Sister-in-law Lan opened the cloth bag she carried and directly placed the baby, who was yet to be weaned, into her arms.
“Oh, right, don’t forget, there’s the fourth child too.”
Su Yinwan: “….”
Phew—
No problem, it’s just children.
She could handle it.
So, she deliberately pinched a gentle and tender smile and looked at the three kids lined up in a row.
“Hello there, my na is Su Yinwan, and you can call Sister Wan.”
–
On the other side, He Yun, who had tearfully accepted a point of good score, set off once more on her quest to find Task Points.
After all, those points were simply a drop in the bucket for his farm field that had been ravaged.
Before long, Shu Yan found a Task Point—
To help a Grandma who had never worn makeup in her life except on her wedding day, with the task’s completion rewarding five good score points.
This task was a piece of cake for soone like her who was never far from makeup.
Shu Yan imdiately ran ho, brought out all her belongings, and got to work.
Chixia Village was a rather secluded little village, and it was rare enough for a glamorous city beauty to put on so lipstick, which could already draw the attention of everyone around.
This ti, Shu Yan sitting at the doorstep doing Grandma’s makeup directly attracted the attention of passersby and neighbors.
Especially the array of bottles and jars she laid out on the table, which had the young girls green with envy, surrounding her and chattering away with their questions.
“I’ve suddenly co to understand the intention of the production team, all these tasks seem so aningful, they imdiately made the guests more down-to-earth.”
“Yeah, yeah, I’ve suddenly beco a fan of Sister Shu Yan too, she’s so patient, even taking the ti to explain the makeup brands to them, she shows no signs of looking down on them.”
“Sister Yan is so gentle, I’m starting to wonder if all that negative stuff online about her is even true.”
Not far away, Zhao Lang, who had just returned from the mountains, began walking on the path ho.
These past few days, he had been looking for opportunities to go into the mountains, aiming to find a trace of those people.
But no matter how much he searched inside and out, he found nothing unusual.
The sky had already cleared up now, and he feared that if he delayed any further, those people would vanish without a trace.
I needed to co up with a foolproof plan.
Upon returning to the familiar cabin, Zhao Lang set down his back basket and pulled out a key from his pocket.
But as he was about to open the door, he didn’t rush in. Instead, he stepped to the side and chuckled softly.
“Mr. Shang, you’ve been following for quite a while, are you sure you don’t want to co in for so tea?”
Shang Shaojing, who was hiding behind the tree, stiffened before he slowly stepped out.
His expression was far from pleasant.
“You knew all along?”
Zhao Lang adopted a contemplative look before curving his eyes and looking at him.
“Not all that early, I must say. Just during the ti in the mountains.”
Shang Shaojing’s expression grew darker.
It was on the path up the mountain that he had first noticed this man.
Hidden within the shadows of the trees, the man’s deanor was impossible to ignore.
Especially that face—it felt eerily familiar.
On a hunch, he had ditched the follow-cam PD to keep up with Zhao Lang.
Only to realize that from the very start, he had been spotted.
So was that why he deliberately took such a long detour on the mountain, before choosing the hardest path to descend?
Thinking this, Shang Shaojing’s face turned even more sullen.
But Zhao Lang appeared unfazed, maintaining a light smile throughout.
“What should I call you, sir?”
“Shang Shaojing,” he replied coldly and resud his usually indifferent deanor, then reached to pat off the dust on his clothes.
Zhao Lang seed to seriously consider the na.
“Shang Shaojing? I haven’t heard of it—it’s likely you’re not soone I know.”
The hand Shang Shaojing was using to pat himself down paused as a calculating look appeared in his eyes.
This man.
He had sothing about him.
Remaining completely composed and at ease in his presence, he seed outwardly gentle and refined, yet there was an undercurrent of pride and indifference that made even him sowhat uncomfortable.
The feeling.
It was irkso.
Noting the change in Shang Shaojing’s face, Zhao Lang laughed again, “Mr. Shang, no need to be a stranger. You seem quite concerned about the mud on you, so why not co in and get cleaned up? The well water here is rather clean.”
Only then did Shang Shaojing look up at the small wooden house behind Zhao Lang, with a hint of surprise.
This place was his ho?
Could it be that he was not there when he visited yesterday?
But having revealed himself, there was no point in going in for a sit-down now.
Just as Shang Shaojing was about to decline, a voice suddenly rang out from behind—
“President Shang, why did you run off so fast? I’ve been searching for half the day!”
The person who ca wasn’t just anyone; it was his personal caraman.
The man stopped in front of Shang Shaojing, panting, and raised the cara he was holding.
Upon seeing Shang Shaojing’s face reappear on the screen, the audience in the live broadcast also began to clamor.
[Finally found this guy, really outrageous. It’s the first ti I’ve seen a guest ditch the caraman in a variety show.]
[So what was President Shang up to just now? Didn’t he go up the mountain? How did he end up here all of a sudden?]
[I can’t take it anymore, I’ll never trash-talk the young master again. Compared to the snobbish young master, this guy’s way more pretentious—cos to a reality show and then refuses to be fild? Got the PD running around in a frenzy. No wonder he keeps losing to Su Yinwan.]
[Ah! That glimpse in the video just now… could it be my Daniu?! Daniu finally showed up again, I’ve missed you so much!]
