Chapter 113: The Most Embarrassing Moments for Each Other
Chapter 113
Li Yujia looked at her in disbelief, her eyes slightly red, her voice very soft, "Am I just your sister? In your mouth, I'm like an object, something to be trampled under your feet for a lifetime, just to boost your confidence."
Li Shaocheng didn't seem to realize how cruel her words were, glancing sideways at her, "Isn't that what Mom and Dad have always told you?"
Li Yujia's face turned pale. Li Shaocheng was about to say something else when there came an urgent knock at the door.
She looked annoyed but still composed herself, smiling as she opened the door. Outside was Director Xu, his expression anxious and uneasy.
"Director Xu, is something wrong?"
Director Xu spoke urgently: "Shaocheng, I forgot to tell you, the staff just installed cameras in the rooms. You didn't say anything, did you?" The last sentence was probing, but Li Shaocheng's face had already turned deathly pale.
It was due to viewers' suggestions that Director Xu had decided to do a 24-hour live broadcast at the last minute. After all, there were only a few days left, and the afternoon was free time. He never imagined any guests would return to their rooms to talk!
Seeing Li Shaocheng's expression, Director Xu understood everything!
At the same time, a trending topic appeared on Weibo: "I can only sleep soundly if I'm always standing above you!"
[What kind of sister is this?! She's like an enemy!]
[Help, it's the middle of the afternoon, and I'm getting goosebumps just hearing this...]
[I always thought there was something odd about Li Shaocheng's relationship with her sister. She's always subtly putting her down. How terrifying!]
[Her sister must have the worst luck in the world to have a sister like that!]
[No! What's even scarier is that Li Shaocheng's parents treat her sister the same way!]
[No wonder her sister always looks so nervous on camera, afraid of saying the wrong thing. I thought she was just wooden...]
[Maybe it's just the sisters arguing! Don't blow it out of proportion!]
[Wow! There are still fans trying to defend this! If you had a sister like that, wouldn't you find it terrifying?]
The production team called an emergency meeting, and Li Shaocheng received a call from her manager, "Li Shaocheng, you've really outdone yourself. You managed to create such a huge mess on your last variety show!"
Li Shaocheng's face was pale. She wanted to say something, but her manager didn't give her the chance, "You're done with the show, and don't even think about any chance of a comeback!" He hung up the phone.
Li Shaocheng collapsed to the ground. It was over, everything was over, she had nothing left...
Due to the live broadcast incident, Li Shaocheng was asked to leave as soon as possible. Li Yujia sat blankly on the grass, lost in thought.
Jing Yi and Jing Zejun exchanged a glance, and Jing Yi decided to go over and chat with her.
"Sister Yujia."
Li Yujia's eyes flickered, and she forced a smile, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Her first thought was that the production team must be upset about such a conversation being broadcast.
Jing Yi frowned slightly, "Sister Yujia, you haven't caused anyone trouble. You're Li Shaocheng's sister, not her accessory. You don't need to apologize for her."
Li Yujia's nose tingled, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"She always wants the best of everything, to be better than everyone else. I've always known that, but I never knew that she just saw me as something to step on..."
Jing Zejun sighed inwardly, walked to her side, and sat down. "What do you plan to do now?"
Li Yujia blinked, looking up at the sky. "Actually, I decided a while ago that I would definitely leave."
Li Shaocheng had suffered a major blow this time, and their parents would certainly blame her first. Li Yujia had had enough of this family; she really wanted to live a life that belonged only to her.
She had been timid for over twenty years, and the only courage she had was shattered by Li Shaocheng.
Now, it was time to pick up the pieces.
"If you need any help, just ask me," Jing Zejun said, wanting Li Yujia to fulfill her wishes. It was time for her to live her own life.
Li Yujia smiled faintly, "Thank you. I've always been curious, why is your relationship so good?" Even though you're not related by blood, and were even considered 'competitors' before.
She at least wanted to know where Li Shaocheng had lost out.
Jing Zejun smiled gently, "Because we've both seen each other at our most vulnerable." Jing Yi with tears and snot, and Jing Zejun in despair.
Jing Yi smiled a bit embarrassedly, naturally knowing that Jing Zejun was referring to when they first met.
Jing Zejun smiled again, his eyes filled with warmth: "When I'm with her, I'm at my most comfortable." It had nothing to do with whether he could hear Jing Yi's thoughts; it was a kind of dependence and ease that came from within.
Li Yujia smiled. She and Li Shaocheng could never achieve something like that in this lifetime...
Half an hour later, the 'Dear Family' variety show posted an announcement on Weibo, stating that Li Shaocheng's family had officially withdrawn from the show's recording, and she would not appear in the edited version of later episodes.
As soon as the news was released, many netizens cheered. They had always hoped for harmonious scenes with the four families, and it came true so quickly!
After the video was leaked, Li Shaocheng's public image completely collapsed. Most fans were disappointed and unfollowed her. Although there were still some voices from Li Shaocheng's fans in the comments, it was to no avail.
Jing Yi and the others gathered in the living room. The atmosphere was a bit strange. Just as they started recording the last episode, such a big incident occurred. Was this a good omen?
Director Xu stepped up to take charge, "Let's still follow the original plan." His tone carried a hint of bitterness.
'Pfft' Jing Yi's laughter was particularly noticeable. Realizing the looks everyone was giving her, especially Director Xu's particularly intense gaze, Jing Yi quietly hid behind Jing Zejun's back.
It was mainly because the director's expression was so miserable that hearing him talk about this was really funny.
[Jing Yi Yi, Director Xu's knife is about to be mailed to your house in the next second!]
[Poor Director Xu, he was about to take off, but then Li Shaocheng hit the brakes at the last moment.]
[Hmm, let's look at it from another angle. Isn't this also a way of going viral?]
[The one above, you're stealing the show!]
Director Xu was about to say something else when Jing Yi raised her hand again. The director sighed but couldn't pretend not to see her. "Do you have a question?"
Jing Yi looked at the sky outside, "Director Xu, it's almost dinner time. Are we still having free time?" To be honest, she was getting a bit hungry...
Jing Zeqian looked at her helplessly. Nothing could interfere with her meal times!
What else could Director Xu do? On the first day, they had already lost one family. What more could he ask for? Let's just end it for today!
After dinner, Director Xu found Jing Yi. "There's something I'd like to ask for your help with, Yi Yi."
Jing Yi and Jing Zejun exchanged a glance. What kind of matter would require the director to come talk to her privately?
