Chapter 7
Meng Fei was an average-looking girl, and lazy. Although she did not gain much popularity on the show, her family background was too good. Later on, depending on her background as a rich second-generation heiress, she became a capitalist who went on to oppress and exploit many hardworking people.
Moreover, it was said that when she invested in a construction project later, she used defective goods to save money. When the project first started, and a wall was built, the wall actually collapsed in a few days, crushing and killing a few workers.
And in order to lighten the burden on her parents, Chen Li went to the city to work as soon as she became an adult. Coincidentally, because Meng Fei had participated in this show with her before, Meng Fei felt that she was silly and gullible, so she recruited her with just half of the standard pay.
Although she did not do anything bad to Gu Xiao, what Gu Xiao did was punish evil and promote good.
However, the most important thing now was to expose Ji Yao’s ugly heart to the audience.
After the advertisement ended, the show started again. This time, Gu Xiao did not avoid Ji Yao. Instead, she got closer and closer, almost sticking to her. Just by looking at their backs, one would even think that the two of them were close sisters. 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝑤𝑒𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝘮
Ji Yao gave the director a look. The director arranged for the camera to move the lens away. Then, she looked at Gu Xiao, who seemed to know nothing. She took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile. “Gu Xiao, are you done? Let’s go down together.”
“There’s no need, Yao Yao. Look at this.” Gu Xiao mysteriously took out a rope, wrapped it around a basket full of oranges, and lowered it down. Then, she asked Chen Li to tip it into the big basket and used the rope to lift it up again.
“Yaoyao, look, this is much more convenient! Be careful~” Gu Xiao untied the rope and tied it to Ji Yao’s basket in turn. Before Ji Yao could react, she took the opportunity to suddenly let go—
BANG!
“Ah! It hurts!”
It was Ji Yao on the ground.
“Yaoyao! Are you alright?!” Gu Xiao didn’t wait for the crowd to gather and hurriedly ran down the ladder and shouted, “I told you to slowly lower it down. Why did you lower it down all at once?!”
Everyone was attracted by the commotion and the camera was aimed at them.
At this moment, the first wave of comments arrived.
[What’s going on? Did Ji Yao fall from the tree?]
[“Look at the basket at the side. There’s a rope tied to it. I guess she wasn’t holding it firmly, so it slipped and fell.”]
[“No wonder Gu Xiao told her to take her time.”]
At this moment, other than Gu Xiao, everyone was confused by Ji Yao’s sudden injury. Ji Yao’s right hand, which was holding the rope, was already sprained and swollen. Because she had landed face-first, although there was soil to cushion it, she still got some scrapes.
“I’ll bring Yaoyao to the hospital. After all, it was my idea…”
“It’s alright. Don’t take the blame onto yourself. We all saw it just now. Your idea is quite good. It was Yaoyao who should have been more careful,” Lin Xue comforted her.
“But it’s also because of me… I want to take her to the hospital!” Gu Xiao blinked her teary eyes at the director. Faced with this sudden situation, the director’s mind was also in a daze. He could only ask the staff to bring them there.
[Boohoo, Gu Xiao is such a kind and obedient child.]
[“That’s right. It’s clearly not her fault.”]
[“To be honest, I don’t think her face looks like a country girl at all.”]
Just like that, Gu Xiao left the shooting location.
Ji Yao covered her sprained right hand with a ferocious expression. Gu Xiao pretended to take a bottle of iced mineral water and placed it on Ji Yao’s hand, but she sent it flying with her left hand.
“Don’t touch me!!” She said angrily.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose,” Gu Xiao said in a low voice.
“You!”
“Alright, Ji Yao, she came with out of goodwill. Don’t blame her when it was you who had not been paying attention.” The driver was the staff member who had handed Gu Xiao the rope previously. He had a good impression of Gu Xiao, so he would defend her. In addition, he didn’t think that Gu Xiao had done anything wrong.
After sending them to the hospital, after the doctor applied medicine and bandaged Ji Yao’s injury, he asked them to stay in the room for observation. After all, the sprain was more serious.
“Gu Xiao.”
Gu Xiao looked over. Ji Yao’s eyes had already lost their usual patience. She stared at Gu Xiao darkly, as if she was a ferocious beast was staring at its prey.
“What’s wrong, Yaoyao?” Not only was she not afraid of Ji Yao’s expression, but she also wanted to laugh.
“You did it on purpose? How have I offended you?”
