Chapter 36
Gu Qi kicked Jiang Lechuan out. Of course it wasn’t because she was angry about what he said.
It was because she heard Jiang Lechuan still talking on the phone with Xu Yanyue. Only then, she realized that he seemed to have sneaked out again.
Gu Qi knew that her Younger Brother was talented in dancing and was a powerful person in the eyes of fans, but they were a team after all. He couldn't always leave the team when they should rehearse more.
After watching Jiang Lechuan leave reluctantly, Gu Qi returned to her desk and sat down again.
She stared at the fried chicken Jiang Lechuan brought to her. Actually, she had no interest in this kind of thing, but after a brief hesitation, she still opened the box and picked up the smallest piece of fried chicken to bite.
It didn't suit her taste.
It was too greasy, and the sauce tasted sweet, which made her uncomfortable.
If it were normal times, she would definitely not continue to eat it.
But when she thought about the distance between Jiang Lechuan's company and her home, she still picked up another piece.
She didn't understand why Jiang Lechuan liked to eat this kind of thing.
Still, she couldn't help but start searching for other well-known fried chicken brands in the capital. If there is a chance, she would try it with Jiang Lechuan.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to record for a new episode of the show.
The rumor that ‘Gu Qi, He Quanyi and Shen Anran interviewed for Jinyue Films together’ was widely spread online. After all, most people knew that Gu Qi and He Quanyi were old rivals many years ago and Jinyue was the media company with the highest status in the film industry. The one who could get in must be the one with better acting skills, which meant that she will have resources in the film industry in the future.
Everyone was guessing whether it was Gu Qi or He Quanyi who could get this opportunity.
Of course, some people guess that it was Shen Anran. After all, her popularity and reputation were very good. She could somewhat be considered have ‘solid acting’ among the new generation of idol drama actresses.
At this time, the Troublesome Siblings production team finally announced the guest lineup for this episode. The invited guests were Shen Anran and her ordinary person elder brother.
Netizens were even more shocked.
[Shen Anran! Shen Anran is here]
[Shen Anran's elder brother is a bit handsome? I have to ask again... Isn't this face suitable for debut? ]
Immediately, someone dug out Shen Anran's originally low-key identity information. When they learned that she was an eldest miss from a wealthy family, they sighed-
[Oh my God, did Shen Anran's siblings group completely replace Jiāng Zhiyu siblings? ]
[A wealthy eldest miss who ventures into the entertainment industry and a CEO elder brother who accompanies younger sister on variety shows]
[My gosh, these are indeed completely similar. Shen Anran, you aren’t going to do school bullying, are you? (I’m blindly guessing)]
…
The netizens were shocked, and Gu Qi was shocked.
She clicked on the official blog of Troublesome Siblings again and confirmed that Jiāng Fengzhi announced his withdrawal from the variety show recording.
This was reasonable in the eyes of netizens. Jiāng Fengzhi originally came to the variety show to accompany Jiāng Zhiyu. Now that Jiāng Zhiyu had left in disgrace, what reason did Jiāng Fengzhi have to continue recording alone? It was announced a few days later.
Still Gu Qi murmured, “…The male lead is gone?”
Although Gu Qi had sent a message to the director to ask, she honestly didn't have high expectations.
After all, this variety show was the beginning of the male and female leads falling in love and knowing each other. Even if Jiāng Zhiyu wasn't there, there may be other reasons for Jiāng Fengzhi to stay.
But Jiāng Fengzhi just...
quit.
The surprise came too quickly, which was unexpected.
——
"Where is the male lead?"
On the other side, Shen Anran's voice carried even more surprise than Gu Qi’s. After seeing the official announcement of the new recording of the most Troublesome Siblings, she could be said to be completely dumbfounded.
Five years ago, after having repeated dreams, Shen Anran realized that the world she lived in was a novel.
Fortunately, she was the female lead in this book. As long as she continued to maintain the gentle and kind angel personality she had maintained for so many years, she could fall in love with the heir of the top wealthy Jiāng Family in the variety shows she would participate in in the future, win all the way, and reach the peak of life.
So since Shen Anran became an adult, she had been trying to make her life follow the trajectory of her dreams step by step.
Everything went smoothly and almost everything that happened in life could be matched with the dream.
But Shen Anran had troubles.
Her family background wasn't as good as the rich, but better than the poor. The advantage was that she was from a family of scholars and had a little reputation. The disadvantage was that the business was constantly in deficit and the assets were shrinking, getting worse day by day.
On top of that Shen Anran was only the fifth child in the family. She had an elder brother and three elder sisters.
They had the same father but different mothers, so they weren't close.
And these were just...
The siblings Shen Anran knew about.
There was no telling how many children with the same blood as her were outside, eyeing at everything and preparing to snatch the position.
Shen Anran's only advantage was that her father's first wife tried her best but didn't give birth to a son and died of dystocia when the third daughter was born.
Her mother’s belly was capable and gave birth to her elder brother and her long ago and they were soon welcomed into the family after the death of the first wife.
As far as she could remember, the first time someone called her ‘Miss’, she realized that this identity wasn't easy to come by.
She worked hard to learn the etiquette of wealthy families. When she grew up, she dated and chatted with rich young men under the arrangement of her father. After making them happy, they signed one cooperation after another with her family.
Shen Anran occasionally despised herself for being like this and could not understand what her father thought of her, his daughter, as?
A product with a clear price tag. A contract of ten thousand or so yuan to have a meal with her. So in the future, as long as the money was enough, she could be bought home like a commodity and be like her elder sisters, mostly used as a tool for marriage.
Her elder brother, holding the inheritance rights, went in and out of the company every day, but because of his lack of intelligence, he had ruined countless business deals. Every time something went wrong, he could only rely on family to make up for it, because he was the only ‘legitimate eldest son’.
Thinking of this, Shen Anran felt extremely unwilling to accept.
The reason why she gritted her teeth and endured until now was because of that recurring dream.
She knew that she would definitely fall in love with Jiāng Fengzhi. This was almost the driving force for her to persist over the years.
As long as she married into the Jiāng Family and had a perfect love with Jiāng Fengzhi like a princess and prince in a fairy tale, she could get rid of her current environment and break away from the entire Shen family.
But everything changed.
Jiāng Zhiyu's school bullying scandal was exposed, resulting in her end in the recording of the variety show.
Shen Anran didn't care too much at first, because there were occasional events that were different from the plot development in her dream, but basically they didn't affect the final outcome.
In addition, Jiāng Fengzhi didn't issue a statement with Jiāng Zhiyu to leave the variety show. So she still let her company arrange it and got a place in this episode of Troublesome Siblings.
But it happened so suddenly.
Before the official recording, Jiāng Fengzhi actually withdrew.
This made Shen Anran completely unable to understand and even felt like a bolt from the blue.
The first time she realized that this dream would come true, she made a choice and broke up with her boyfriend who she was dating and liked at the time.
In the following years, she set herself the standard of marrying Jiāng Fengzhi and becoming the perfect young lady of the Jiāng Family.
Be gentle and kind to everyone and don't leave any black material that could be magnified. Perfect to the point that there was no fault to be found.
But what did it all amount to now?
What did the humiliation she endured over the years count as?
If Jiāng Fengzhi didn't continue to participate in the recording, they will not have communication and will not fall in love.
A trace of panic climbed into Shen Anran's heart.
A person had become accustomed to a life that was arranged and thought she knew what will happen every day, like being tied by a thread and going with the direction of the pull forever.
But now, this thread suddenly broke.
She was like a child who hadn't yet learned to walk and was suddenly let go of the hand by an adult, standing there and not daring to move.
＊
On the day of the variety show recording.
Gu Qi was in a good mood, which could not be concealed.
Jiāng Fengzhi left the variety show. The male lead was gone. As the system said, the plot deviation value reached a certain height.
This meant that the probability of changing the ending was getting higher and higher. It went without saying her mood was much more relaxed.
In addition, whenever she chatted with Xie Yun, the two of them had a good time, and Gu Qi felt that her life was going smoothly.
When the fans who were waiting on the way to the villa took a picture of Gu Qi with a slightly raised corner of her lips, they were all shocked.
[Gu Qi smiled? Although it isn't obvious, it seems that she smiled when she went in! ? ]
[Damn, Gu Qi is suitable for this kind of very light smile. That kind of confident charm is here! ]
[Elder Sister! Elder Sister, smile at me! Hurry up! ! ! ]
[It's so weird today. Why is Gu Qi smiling, but Ning Xiwei wasn't smiling? ]
[Although Ning Xiwei wasn't in good shape before, this is the first time she has such a cold face like today]
Ning Xiwei usually kept a lively smile to maintain her perfect sweet idol persona, but today she was expressionless, or even stern with ‘I am not happy’ written on her face.
