Chapter 40
Abandoned Wife Taken Care Of By a Wealthy Family
When Meng Chuyuan heard this, she looked up at Lu Jinsen and said, “Isn’t it enough to just let him watch it?”
She was not a celebrity, so there was no need for her to be involved in interacting with the audience, right?
Seeing that he could not convince Meng Chuyuan, the director could only start with Lu Jinsen. “Lu Jinsen, bring your phone over and show it to your sister-in-law.”
With a cold expression, Lu Jin logged into the live-stream with his account and reluctantly placed his phone in front of her.
After the director left, Lu Jinsen whispered to Meng Chuyuan, “Can you cooperate?”
Meng Chuyuan gritted her teeth and said, “Alright, cooperate.”
The next second, she restored her normal volume and cooperatively leaned closer to the phone screen. “Let me see what everyone is talking about…”
The comments in the comment section were moving too fast. Meng Chuyuan frowned slightly.
This was the first time she had seen the comments in the live-stream after participating in the variety show recording. She did not expect tens of millions of people to watch it online.
Meng Chuyuan followed the speed of the comments and finally saw a message. She read out the question unhurriedly. “Aren’t you afraid that everyone will misunderstand your relationship if you go on the variety show with Lu Jinsen?”
Lu Qingye returned to the live-stream and it was coincidentally stuck in the moment where Meng Chuyuan read out a comment. When he heard the question she read out, Lu Qingye was stunned and a strange look flashed across his eyes.
Lu Jinsen was also surprised. He did not expect Meng Chuyuan to pick such a sensitive question. His temper was explosive to begin with, the kind that could explode at any moment. He often scolded his anti-fans online, and he was even more furious at such slanderous comments.
Lu Jinsen frowned. His fierce eyes were like an aggressive beast. He was about to retort when his phone was suddenly snatched away by Meng Chuyuan.
Meng Chuyuan took the phone from his hand and replied calmly, “The friend who asked the question just now, what misunderstanding are you referring to? He called me sister-in-law. Can’t you guys figure out our relationship from that? If you have other thoughts just because I participated in the variety show with him, could it be that there’s something wrong with your mind instead?”
Lu Jinsen listened to her monotonous voice, but every word carried a strong lethality.
[Everyone, do you understand? Sister Meng means that if anyone has dirty thoughts, don’t blame it on her.]
[Do you have to spread rumors everytime you open your mouth? Aren’t you afraid of getting a lawyer’s letter?]
[Sister Meng’s heart did not waver when she saw these comments. She might even want to laugh, right? Why are you asking such a lowly question?]
[I advise that netizen to be careful with his words. Otherwise, Sister Meng will really travel through the internet cable and slash you.]
After Meng Chuyuan answered the netizen’s question, she chose another comment, “They all say that you’re the abandoned wife of a wealthy family. Sister Meng, do you have anything to say?”
She said, “So what if I’m the abandoned wife of a wealthy family? No matter how useless an abandoned wife is, she’s still been taken care of by a wealthy family.”
When Lu Qingye heard Meng Chuyuan’s answer, his brows furrowed into a knot. There was no expression on his face.
“…” The abandoned wife of a wealthy family?
‘Did she think so too?’
Lu Jinsen was sitting next to Meng Chuyuan. When he heard her start to speak arrogantly and even in a complacent tone, his cold eyes were filled with disdain. He said disdainfully, “You really dare to say anything.”
Meng Chuyuan said, “I’m not mute. Of course I can say anything.”
[F*ck! Why do I hear a sense of pride from her mouth?]
[Sister Meng: So what if I’m the abandoned wife of a wealthy family? I’m an abandoned woman who’s being taken care of by a wealthy family, alright?]
[Sister Meng lives a transparent life. Looks like she’s not completely infatuated with the feeling of being from a wealthy family.]
[Lu Jinsen said: My brother is still around. You should restrain yourself.]
Meng Chuyuan only replied to two simple questions. The popularity of the live-stream instantly soared and rushed to the top of the variety live-stream platform.
Faced with the tricky questions from the audience, Meng Chuyuan did not only deal with them calmly, but she also blocked the brainless questions off with one sentence.
Meng Chuyuan did not find this interesting. Then, she turned to look at Lu Jinsen and raised her phone. “Do you want to communicate with them?”
Lu Jinsen tilted his head and rejected her directly. “There’s no need.”
This was because he could not chat with these people. If he did not get along with them, he might scold them.
“Fine.”
In order to give the production team enough content for the interview segment, Meng Chuyuan could only continue to pick comments to read. Then, she happened to see a line:
[Sister Meng, why does everyone call you the abandoned wife of a wealthy family? Also, why didn’t you call your husband when you handed in your phone? I’ll ask politely: Is your husband still alive? Don’t tell me you’re already a widow?]
Because the comments section was flooded too quickly, Meng Chuyuan only saw the last sentence clearly. Hence, she said, “I’m so young. How can I be a widow?”
[This netizen, it’s rude of you to speak like this. Why are you cursing her?]
[Sister Meng, does this mean that if your husband dies you will remarry?]
[She’s beautiful and young. It won’t be a problem for her to find another husband.]
[Retreat! Retreat! Retreat! Don’t poke your nose into the pretty lady’s business.]
[I’m going to die of laughter from Sister Meng’s answer. Although she’s speaking the truth, it feels strange coming from Sister Meng’s mouth.]
[Sister Meng’s words make sense. She’s so beautiful and capable. Who doesn’t want to marry her? How can she be a widow?]
Lu Qingye’s face was ashen. He pursed his lips tightly and his eyes revealed a complicated expression.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. For a moment, he did not know if it was because of the comments from the netizens or Meng Chuyuan’s reply, but he was so angry that his breathing was messed up.
It seemed that he had to quickly finish up his work here.
Lu Qingye exited the live-stream and sent a message to Meng Chuyuan on WeChat: [Wait for me to come back.]
However, after the message was sent, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.
…
The interview time was up and the live-stream was about to be closed. However, the director took advantage of the fact that everyone was still around and specially walked over to chat with Meng Chuyuan. “Teacher Meng, I want to ask if you’re interested in signing a contract with our variety show and being our resident guest.”
“Huh?” Meng Chuyuan was a little surprised. “There’s no need for that, right?”
Meng Chuyuan felt that it was nice being a last minute replacement. When she was no longer needed, or when she was tired of playing, she could quit at any time.
“You’re really suitable for variety shows.”
Meng Chuyuan smiled and said, “But you’re not a qualified director. Let’s talk about collaborating in the future.”
The director: “…”
[Sister Meng, please stay. Boohoo, I beg you.]
[What do you mean? Is Sister Meng not recording the next episode?]
[No!! If Sister Meng doesn’t appear on this variety show next week, I won’t watch it anymore.]
[This is the first time I’ve seen Director Luo discuss a collaboration with someone so sincerely. I didn’t expect Sister Meng to reject him in such a special way– saying that Director Luo is not a qualified director. Hahaha. Director Luo will probably remember this for the rest of his life.]
[Sister Meng, why don’t you give some face to the director? Coincidentally, we also like this variety show very much and we hope that you’ll always be around.]
