Chapter 15 Take interest
Time returned to the present. Jiang Yu stared at the hot searches about her cheating:
【Have you watched the live broadcast? Who would believe it? A student from the acting department of an acting school crushed B University and Q University. 】
【Accurate news, the program team's question bank had indeed been leaked. The questions for today's challenge were all changed overnight. 】
【Even if the unspoken rules are pretty much the same. If she lasted to the end, we’ll at least say that she was lucky. But to actually get ahead of others who are serious about competing, that’s overboard. 】
【Must have gone crazy from wanting be famous. 】
【If it weren’t for her, my Xiao Zhang would be an intern! Isn’t the program team going to handle this kind of thing? 】
Of course, some people have raised objections:
【Since the questions are changed overnight, it must be to prevent cheating. The program team had even done a temporary adjustment mechanism in the middle of the program. The little miss passed very well. 】
【I don’t think it’s cheating either. You have to know that a bad student has to review for several days before the exam and has to make a cheat sheet in the end to be safe. Memorizing so many questions overnight is simply a fantasy. 】
【This is a paradox. If you can memorize so many questions in one night, you’re truly a top student. And top students don’t need to cheat. 】
However, these were all refuted one by one:
【Since the question bank can be leaked once, it can be leaked a second time. As for the temporary adjustment. Even the current college entrance examination has high-tech cheating devices, not to mention an entertaining program. What is so difficult about instant messaging. 】
Especially after revealing Jiang Yu’s majors in the Acting Department of Acting Academy and the results of her cultural courses of the college entrance examination, these voices disappeared and were replaced by insults:
【Those who advance through unspoken rules is shameless! 】
【"All Rounder" gives me an explanation. We like "All Rounder" because we like top students and the positive competitive environment where they are serious and hardworking. If "All Rounder" covers Jiang Yu this time, I will never watch this show again. 】
【It can’t be that "All Rounder" knew? Will it be like other programs in the future, helping Capital Dad to promote brainless newcomers? 】
【No wonder when watching the live broadcast, I was banned as soon as I raised a question. 】
【Jiang Yu, scram out of "All Rounder"! 】
【Scramming out of "All Rounder" isn’t enough. People with this kind of crooked style should simply scram out of the entertainment industry. 】
……
The recording of "All Rounder 3" had attracted a lot of attention. Ye Yuanyu and the others have a certain fan base. It was enough that a dark horse popped up. Over time, public opinion fermented very quickly as Jiang Yu's resume was so outrageous. Plus there were some historical episodes left behind by the original owner.
The program team informed Jiang Yu to go to Chengzi Film and Television Building, "...there may be some gossip reporters. It will be more dangerous if you are blocked alone. It’s like this, there will be people coming from your side. You can go directly to the second underground floor of New World Plaza. There is a silver-gray nanny car. I’ll notify them and get them to give you a lift.”
Jiang Yu put away her phone and headed to the underground garage.
Soon Qin Shiyu, who was resting in the temporary lounge, received the notification. Of course, his friend slash assistant answered the call.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Lehua smiled at Qin Shiyu, who was sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, "Trouble is coming. You are going to be unlucky."
Seeing that Qin Shiyu was unmoved, Xu Lehua approached him and saw that he was watching extreme sports again. He grabbed his phone and said, "Doctor Lu said that you can't touch these again within two years."
Qin Shiyu didn't mind and was very obedient. "Understood."
He took a can of black coffee and drank it.
Xu Lehua said, "Aren't you curious about what the program team asked us to do?"
The answer was Qin Shiyu taking another sip of black coffee.
Xu Lehua looked at him and sighed secretly, "There are so many wonderful things in this world, why aren't you interested? How can you let me leave with peace of mind?"
Qin Shiyu finally spoke, "You’re only going to work. Don't make it sound like you are leaving this world."
"Scram!" Though Xu Lehua amusedly chided, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
His father used to be the housekeeper of Qin Shiyu's grandfather's house, so he and Qin Shiyu had known each other since childhood. Because they were similar in age, they often played together. He still remembered that when Qin Shiyu was a child, Qin Shiyu was clearly cute and occasionally naughty. The naughty kid who makes people laugh and cry was very lovable. But since when did he start to change?
Was it when Father Qin embezzles the Shu Family’s assets, or was it when Mother Qin refused to see him even until her death? Or was it when he, as the eldest young master of the Qin Family, was allowed to be treated as his stepmother and illegitimate son pleased? Or...when Grandpa Shu left...
Xu Lehua secretly sighed. Sometimes being too smart wasn’t a good thing. If Qin Shiyu were an ordinary person, he might be gloomy and decadent, or full of hatred. But he was too smart. He could see through it as if he had experienced thousands of sails at a young age. He believed that this world wasn’t interesting at all.
By the time they discovered this problem, he already had a serious tendency to be world-weary.
The funny part, Qin Shiyu said this himself. Fortunately, he still cared about the Shu Family to some extent. Knowing that this situation was wrong, he took the initiative to find a psychiatrist and had been actively cooperating.
But he was still the most troublesome patient for the doctors. He was even more difficult than those who resist treatment. After all, those people can still get the desired effect through clues and stimulation. And they can start treatment through the people and things they care about. However Qin Shiyu had completely let himself go like this. He didn’t put Father Qin, the mistress stepmother, and the illegitimate younger brother to heart. It made the doctor unable to do anything because he himself did it flawlessly.
"It is impossible for an individual to have no emotions. Antisocial personality is just a lack of empathy and shame. His behavior may be a defensive self-protection mechanism. In extreme pain, he tells himself 'I don't care'." He didn’t want it, so they didn’t snatch it away.” This was Dr. Lu’s diagnosis of him, but then he overturned this conclusion, “What he said, there may be another possibility.”
Xu Lehua still remembered the worry on Dr. Lu's face at that time, "There is another possibility that he really doesn't take the Qin Family seriously, because as long as he wants, he can destroy the Qin Family at any time. One 'human' will not keep a bunch of 'ants' in mind."
Xu Lehua subconsciously resisted this dangerous judgment and asked, "It's impossible. If he wants to treat the Qin Family as ants, how can the Qin Family be fine?"
Dr. Lu said, "Some people may directly crush the ants to death, while others prefer to see them submerged in water, roasted by fire, and be curious about whether they can survive if they are divided into two parts..."
Xu Lehua waved his hands in fright, "It's impossible. Although Qin Shiyu isn’t very kind, the worst thing about him is that he likes to gather around the fire and watch other people's drama. He definitely doesn't have such terrible thoughts."
Dr. Lu said, "It's just a metaphor. Think about it. Is the Qin Family really not affected by him at all?"
It was still bearable. Xu Lehua immediately thought of Chen Yalian. Not mentioning other small things, she almost collapsed because of Qin Shiyu's study.
Knowing that Qin Shiyu had a high IQ and good grades, she tried every means to block his way to study abroad. As a result, Qin Shiyu turned around and enrolled in the Guanghua Institute of Technology at B University and studied business.
As one all know, the heir of a big family basically choose a business as their major. Qin Shiyu was still the legitimate eldest son of the Qin Family no matter how he was treated.
So at that time, many people in the circle focused their attention on Qin Shiyu, thinking that the eldest young master of the Qin Family, who had always behaved uncontested, was going to show off his power and snatch the Qin Family. Many people were even optimistic about it. After all, no matter how much Chen Yalian tried to smear him, his excellence cannot be covered up.
Father Qin and Chen Yalian had their hearts raised for several years. Father Qin desperately formulated various strategies to expand the Qin Family's territory to prove that he was the wisest decision-maker of the Qin Family. Chen Yalian tried every means to suppress Qin Shiyu. The result was that Qin Shiyu entered the entertainment industry after graduation.
After Qin Shiyu signed a contract with Chengzi Film and Television, he returned to Qin's old house to pack his luggage after a long absence. Xu Lehua was worried and followed along. So he clearly remembered Chen Yalian's confusion when she heard the news. Maybe she felt it was lucky, but more importantly the resentment collapsed. In the past few years, she had made so many small moves, made a fool of herself countless times, and suffered so much ridicule. The result told her that she was just a self-centered clown.
Now that he thought about it, Qin Shiyu may not be doing whatever he wants, but he was toying with the Qin Family...
All this was because he still had the Shu Family tying him down. And he was still thinking about sorting the Qin Family out. If he really had nothing to worry about and he felt that life was meaningless...
Xu Lehua simply didn’t dare to think about it.
"In short, try to get him to have emotions first, even if they are bad or annoying. When there are emotions, it indicates concern." Dr. Lu suggested this.
That’s why Xu Lehua once felt that Qin Shiyu chose the entertainment industry to treat himself. Firstly, the circle itself was complex enough. And secondly, acting can experience various emotions. However, this person was too brilliant and had seen many dramas so far. While, he himself proceeded smoothly. His psychological problems didn’t improve much at all.
Of course, Dr. Lu said that the most effective way was to fall in love. Qin Shiyu had agreed. It wasn’t easy for ordinary people to meet outstanding women who were beautiful and have high intelligence. However, they were very common around Qin Shiyu. However, no matter how they showed their good feelings and pursued him, he remained indifferent. He wouldn’t even let others touch him. It was as if he was ready to transcend the mortal world at any time. As a result, everything came to nothing in the end.
So for now, they can only start with the dislike toward the Qin Family.
This was not difficult. After all, wherever Qin Shiyu was, Chen Yalian’s shadow was always with him. After he entered the entertainment industry, Xu Lehua thought she would rest for a while. But it didn't take long before she found someone who Qin Shiyu couldn't refuse.
Xu Lehua raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "Let's go. We have to pick up someone to go with us."
Qin Shiyu stood up and followed him out. Xu Lehua said, "Aren't you curious who it is?"
Qin Shiyu looked indifferent, but still gave his friend some face, "Who is it?"
"Again, you are being perfunctory with me." Xu Lehua was dissatisfied, but continued, "It's Jiang Yu. The topic of her cheating has been trending. The program team wants to confirm it."
"Do you think she cheated?"
Qin Shiyu said, "No."
Xu Lehua was a little surprised, "How could it be? I thought Chen Yalian helped her."
"Is her performance today actually real? You mean that she is actually very smart?"
"No, that’s not right. How could she do such a shameless thing if she is so smart? Even if intelligence cannot be linked to moral character, why is she attending acting school if her brain is so good?"
Xu Lehua was full of doubts. Qin Shiyu just lazily responded, "She has her reasons after all." He wasn’t curious or interested at all.
Xu Lehua was helpless for a moment before he started gloating, "But no matter what, her target today must be you. I don't know what method she will use to attract your attention today."
"Hey, is that her?" Xu Lehua looked at the person not far away with burning eyes.
Although he didn't like Jiang Yu, at this stage, she was the most likely person to arouse Qin Shiyu's emotions.
"The daughter of his savior" made it impossible for him to refuse the other party. Even if Qin Shiyu didn't care about a lifelong event like marriage, he couldn't easily compromise for the sake of his own quality of life, right? He really didn't like people invading his living space.
If Xu Lehua knew that someone had used his marriage as a bargaining chip to start this game with a piece of paper, he would probably be furious.
Qin Shiyu glanced at Xu Lehua and finally said nothing for the sake of quietness in his ears. Although he liked to watch others’ dramas, he didn't like trouble.
Jiang Yu didn't expect to meet Qin Shiyu, so she turned 180 degrees with her feet and entered the stairwell. It was only two floors, so she didn't need to take the elevator.
Xu Lehua stared at her back in surprise, "Hey, playing hard to get today? Is she going to take our car later?"
Qin Shiyu raised his eyebrows, "Probably take."
He guessed correctly.
Jiang Yu walked to the nanny car that the program crew had told her about and looked at Qin Shiyu and Xu Lehua inside. She felt surprisingly calm - her unluckiness. This was normal.
She didn't need to weigh anything and directly got into the car. Compared with facing a strange and malicious reporter, it was much better to be with Qin Shiyu. At least, he couldn’t be bothered to talk to her.
Yes, unlike the previous two jokes, Qin Shiyu now treated her as a stranger like he did in the original owner’s memory.
It wasn't that he was cold. He had politely said hello when he saw her coming up.
But that’s what makes it scarier, okay?
He didn't even have emotions like disgust or indifference toward people who forcibly intervened in his life. This only meant that everything the original owner did was of no importance to him and was not worth taking to heart, or that he could play with her in his palm at any time.
In short, neither feeling was good. Jiang Yu suddenly understood why the original owner could easily betray him and even attack him crazily after having this "human delusion". In a sense, ignoring was more an insult than feeling disgust.
But that was for people who wanted to establish an emotional connection with him. Jiang Yu just wanted to clear up the relationship with him quickly. She felt that it felt great and simply relaxed...
Ten minutes after the car drove out of the garage, Xu Lehua looked at Jiang Yu who was sleeping sweetly against the glass with a speechless expression. He couldn't help but whisper, "Trying to show you her 'baby-like' pureness and beautiful sleeping face and arouse the softness in your heart?"
Qin Shiyu felt a little sleepy for some reason. Hearing this, he said lazily, "You should read less girly novels."
Xu Lehua snorted, a little dissatisfied with Jiang Yu's "passive sabotage". Along the way, he was expecting her to come up with some tricks to seduce Qin Shiyu and arouse Qin Shiyu's interest. However, Jiang Yu slept all the way to Chengzi Building. She woke up as soon as the car stopped. Then she stood up, gave her thanks, and got out of the car. It was all in one breath.
Xu Lehua stared at her departing figure, "Was she pretending to sleep?"
He looked at the sleepy Qin Shiyu again and grumbled, "But her trick is quite effective and has successfully attracted my attention."
Qin Shiyu:......
This wasn’t okay. It was immoral. The main reason was that he didn’t like green.
