Chapter 41: Improvise

Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios

Si Cheng was a little impatient when he heard his father’s question. He came up with an excuse and said perfunctorily, “It’s exactly what it means. I have my own plan. Don’t worry.”

When Father Si saw Si Cheng like this, he slammed the table in anger. “I handed the company to you, but you’re in such a mess now. How can I be at ease?! Now, you only need to do two things. First, divorce. Second, get the child’s custody!”

When Si Cheng heard his father’s commanding tone, his face turned cold. He looked straight at Father Si and replied, “Dad, I’m not eight years old. I’m already 28.1 know what I’m doing! Please respect my ideas!”

Seeing that the father and son were arguing again after just a few words, Mother Si hurriedly stood between them. “You and your father can’t talk things out! Si Cheng, listen to your father’s arrangements. We’re doing this for your own good.”

Si Cheng’s face darkened as he looked at his mother, who was winking at him and hinting at him not to go against his father. He could only compromise and say, “Got it. I’ll do it as soon as possible.”

Mrs. Si looked gratified and said to her husband, “Our son has always been obedient. You can be at ease now! He’s already so old. We have to believe in his ability.”

Seeing Si Cheng give in, Father Si didn’t say anything else.

On the other hand, the first half of the game on the island had already begun.

The area the production team was using was very big. After everyone entered the forest, they split up.

In order to prevent Tan Si from losing too badly, Zhou Yun bribed the staff of the props team before the game in the afternoon to obtain the exact location of the sign.

After Tan Si entered the forest, she did not dare to go straight to the destination openly. However, she still pretended to search nearby, preparing to take it down when the time was right.

In order to complete his mission against Tan Ming, Yuan Shao pulled Yuan Jing along and followed Tan Ming from a distance.

Yuan Jing felt a little strange and tugged at the corner of Yuan Shao’s shirt. “Why are we following them?”

As it was a live broadcast, Yuan Shao naturally couldn’t tell the truth. He couldn’t think of a proper reason and could only make up an excuse. “I think they’re quite lucky. My intuition tells me that Brother Huai’s team might find the sign first. We’ll see if we have a chance to s.n.a.t.c.h it.”

Yuan Jing and Yuan Shao were siblings. She could tell at a glance that this was her younger brother’s excuse and guessed that he must have had other plans.

But it didn’t matter. She had already given up. She didn’t want to try hard, nor did she want to partic.i.p.ate in this compet.i.tion. If the compet.i.tion was too intense and she injured herself, it would affect the other variety show she was going to partic.i.p.ate in in two days. Wouldn’t that be a bigger loss?

Moreover, such behavior would help her get close to Jiang Huai and strengthen her image as his fan. Thinking of this, Yuan Jing echoed, “That makes sense. My Brother Jiang Huai will definitely be blessed by the heavens and be the first to discover the sign! If he gets it, we can’t s.n.a.t.c.h it. We have to help him guard it well.”

Yuan Shao glanced at Yuan Jing and chose to shut his mouth in the end. His goal was the opposite. If he didn’t cause any damage and even helped Tan Ming, he would be finished!

However, the camera beside him was following too closely. He really couldn’t say anything. He could only improvise later.

Tan Ming saw someone following behind and whispered to Jiang Huai, “They’ve been following us. Don’t tell me they want to s.n.a.t.c.h our food?”

Jiang Huai glanced back at Yuan Jing and said, “I don’t think so, unless you’re willing to help them make the braised chicken with mushrooms.”

Tan Ming felt that this a.n.a.lysis made sense, but she was still worried as other teams could score points by s.n.a.t.c.hing the ingredients, so she deliberately walked two steps behind Jiang Huai to protect the bamboo basket behind him.

When the fans in Jiang Huai’s live-stream heard that Jiang Huai had said something brutally honest again, they all commented.

[Hahaha, the limit of Yuan Jing’s cooking can already be seen from the ingredients she chose. It’s useless to give her fresh ingredients. I

[I realized that Jiang Huai’s fans’ values are really unreasonable. He just insulted a fan who likes him, yet you guys actually support him. It’s really pitiful that our Jingjing made the wrong choice to sincerely support him. I

[Forget about the person above. Yuan Jing seems to have a lot of idols. Previously, I was worried that my fans would accidentally hurt your Jingjing, so I searched for all kinds of information about Yuan Jing. All the A-list celebrities in the industry are her idols, and she is a loyal fan of every one of them. What a universal love! Are you sure this kind of liking isn’t premeditated?!]

[That’s right. Yuan Jing deliberately made a coquettish sound. It’s obvious that she’s a scheming woman! ]

Meanwhile in the show, Tan Si and w.a.n.g Li were still circling around the gra.s.s where the sign was hidden until they realized that Bai Ling and Lu Ting were walking over..
