Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The Child Becomes a Bug

This sentence instantly attracted the attention of the whole audience.The bullet - screens were filled with question marks.[What? What's going on?][Who is this woman? Why is she carrying a speaker? What's she up to?][Why did the director suddenly give her a shot?]The paid trolls arranged by Gu Xize started to stir up trouble.[This girl seems to know Jiang Ci.][Could she be his girlfriend?][No way. Jiang Ci said in the show that he had never been in a relationship. So, he was just faking an innocent persona, but in fact, he's a playboy?][I've always said that guys like him are no good. Just good - looking, but with a rotten character.][It's too early to draw conclusions, isn't it? Who said this girl is Jiang Ci's girlfriend?][If she's not his girlfriend, what kind of girl would have the guts to shout at him on the debut night?][Exactly! No one would take the risk of being cyber - bullied by fans to do such a reckless thing on the debut night.][No way, does Jiang Ci really have a girlfriend?]Seeing the speculations about Jiang Ci in the bullet - screens, Gu Xize raised his eyebrows in satisfaction.Wei Ran behind him immediately fawned over him: "Young Master Gu, don't worry. This woman is a professional actress. It's absolutely foolproof. Jiang Ci is really finished this time!"With such an incident happening on - site, a normal organizer would have already sent security guards to escort that girl out.But since no staff came to stop her, it was obvious that they had been bribed.Jiang Miaomiao sneered and looked at the following plot.[Xiaomei, sitting in the audience, had red - rimmed eyes and shouted at Jiang Ci emotionally: "Jiang Ci, I'm pregnant."]Got it![System, change "pregnant" to "have a bug in my belly".]The next second, Xiaomei lifted a face streaked with tears, looking wronged and suppressing her emotions.She blinked, trying to hold back her tears, but was still excited: "Jiang Ci, I have a bug in my belly."Others:?Xiaomei:??Hearing what she said, Xiaomei's face changed several times.What was going on? Why did she mispeak?Remembering the generous commission she received, she quickly spoke again: "I have a bug in my belly!"??What the hell?"No! Bug! It's a bug!"Xiaomei's face showed shock.Why couldn't she say the word "child"?It was as if the word was too hot to say.She clearly wanted to say "child", but as soon as she opened her mouth, it automatically turned into "bug".The fans at the scene immediately voiced their dissatisfaction: "Are you crazy? If you have a bug in your belly, go take anti - worm medicine!""Is this woman insane? She must be Jiang Ci's anti - fan, deliberately trying to attract attention here!""Did this woman bribe the director? Otherwise, why did the director suddenly give her a big - screen shot?"Gu Xize in the lounge was furious. He kicked Wei Ran in the chest."This is what you call foolproof?""I... I don't know what's going on either. This woman was the top student in the acting class...""Wei Ran, do you still want to debut?"Wei Ran's face changed.Since the start of the talent show, his popularity had been in the debut position.However, as a grassroots contestant, how could he compete with the capital?Whether he could debut or not was just a matter of someone's words."Young Master Gu, I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I'll think of a way right now.""You think - "A ringtone interrupted Gu Xize's words. His eyes turned cold.But when he saw the incoming phone number, his eyes instantly softened."Hello, Sister Zhizhi.""What? You're coming to the scene to cheer me on?""Then stay where you are. I'll come out and pick you up now."After speaking, he suddenly realized that it was the debut night, and there would be a lot of fans at the scene.Most of the boy - band's fans were female, and they couldn't accept their idol having too much contact with other women."Sister Zhizhi, there are a lot of fans outside today. It's not convenient for me to come out and pick you up. I'll send someone else to pick you up."After hanging up the phone, Gu Xize looked at Wei Ran, who was kneeling on the ground trembling: "Go out and pick someone up for me."Wei Ran had a look of disgust on his face.Gu Xize clearly knew that it was the debut night, and there would be many fans.If the fans saw a contestant with a woman, losing fans would be the least of it. Losing the debut position would be a disaster.He didn't want to go himself but threatened him to go instead."What? Don't want to go?" Gu Xize glanced at him."N... no, I'll go right away."Ten minutes later.On her way to the backstage, Jiang Miaomiao saw Jiang Zhi and Wei Ran being stopped by a paparazzo who had sneaked into the backstage.The paparazzo was excitedly pointing the phone camera at Wei Ran's face and shouting into the live - stream:"Guys, guess who I met backstage?""It's actually contestant Wei Ran. But who is this beautiful lady beside him?"Wei Ran's face changed: "How did you get in here?"And he was even live - streaming.He had managed to sneak around and pick up Jiang Zhi, but unfortunately, he was caught by a paparazzo."Contestant Wei Ran, why do you look so pale? Could it be that there's some secret relationship between you and this lady beside you?"More and more people were watching the paparazzo's live - stream, speculating about the relationship between the two.[My god! Is this his girlfriend?][I can't believe it. Wei Ran actually has a girlfriend. Didn't he set up a misogynistic persona?][Sneaking his girlfriend backstage on the debut night. If the paparazzo hadn't caught him, the fans would have thought their idol was so innocent.]Wei Ran glanced at the bullet - screens in the live - stream and felt dizzy.But he didn't dare to say that it was Gu Xize who asked him to pick her up.Now, he was in deep trouble.Just then, Jiang Zhi suddenly said gently: "Everyone, you've got it wrong. I'm here to find my second brother.""Second brother?" The paparazzo asked excitedly: "Who is your second brother?"Jiang Zhi still had that gentle expression: "My name is Jiang Zhi. My second brother is Jiang Ci. But it's my first time here, and I couldn't find the way. So, my second brother asked Wei Ran to pick me up."After Jiang Zhi's explanation, Wei Ran's fans were outraged.[So, it was Jiang Ci who asked Wei Ran to pick her up?][Who does Jiang Ci think he is? Why didn't he pick up his own sister and asked someone else to do it?][Don't you think it's creepy? Tonight is the debut night. Did Jiang Ci deliberately ask Wei Ran to pick up his sister, hoping that Wei Ran would be caught by the paparazzo?][Is our Wei Ran being bullied by Jiang Ci? He usually cares so much about his reputation. How could he come to pick up someone's sister on the debut night?][Look at it this way. Didn't you notice Wei Ran's scared look just now? He didn't dare to expose Jiang Ci's name. Fortunately, Jiang Ci's sister explained it herself. Otherwise, our boy would have been wronged to death.][I heard that Jiang Ci is the young master of some wealthy family. Is he bullying other contestants just because of his good family background?]As more and more people watched the live - stream, the hashtag #Jiang Ci Bullying# trended on the hot search.At this moment, Jiang Ci, who came to find Jiang Miaomiao, suddenly appeared in the camera.Gu Xize, who came to watch the show, also walked over.The paparazzo pounced on them like a mosquito seeing blood."Jiang Ci, you didn't pick up your own sister but asked Wei Ran to do it. How shameless are you?"Jiang Ci was confused: "What do you mean?""Jiang Zhi, what are you doing here?"[Jiang Ci is pretending not to know.][He's so despicable! Not only bullying but also daring not to admit it.]Gu Xize, who came to watch the show on purpose, glanced at the bullet - screens and unconsciously raised the corners of his lips.Sister Zhizhi must have shifted the blame of picking her up to Jiang Ci for his sake, right?She was so good to him."Second brother, you came to pick me up, right?" Jiang Zhi looked at Jiang Ci as if nothing had happened.She knew Jiang Ci's character well. He was indecisive and soft - hearted.With so many people here, Jiang Ci wouldn't expose her and make her lose face.But the next second, a female voice rang out."He came to pick me up."Jiang Miaomiao rushed over in a few big steps and stood in front of Jiang Ci.She gave Jiang Zhi a cold look and said impatiently: "My second brother has only one sister, me. Why would he ask someone to pick you up? Or are you trying to cover up for someone and deliberately shift the blame to my second brother because he's kind - hearted?"[What do you mean? Why is there another sister?][Who is telling the truth?]A flash of gloom passed through Jiang Zhi's eyes, and then she smiled gently: "Sister, you've misunderstood."Following that was her inner voice:[I came here because I heard that my second brother's girlfriend was at the scene.]
