Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 197 - 26: The Variety Show Control Group Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

Chapter 197: Chapter 26: The Variety Show Control Group Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

She was paired with an old lady as her partner, who was extremely nimble but had poor eyesight, and kept mumbling along the way.

"I’m old and my eyesight is poor, so I’ll have to rely on you then."

The old lady looked at least eighty, and she would keep shouting whenever she saw any patches of things on the ground.

"Quick, go see if those are mushrooms!"

Mo Wanwan patiently replied.

"No, Grandma, that’s just a bunch of grass."

"Oh, I’m old and my eyesight is too bad. But I’m very familiar with these mountain paths. It’s not easy to walk here after it rains; you better keep up with me, especially the little one, don’t run off by yourself."

The old lady nagged, and in front of the camera, Mo Wanwan responded gently, but her gaze was always following Grandma Yang and Jiang Lai’s side.

Grandma Yang had always been the mushroom-picking expert in the village. Jiang Lai being paired with her was probably another intentional arrangement by the show to give her a pass. Mo Wanwan bit her lip silently, suppressing her dissatisfaction and helplessness, and smiled as she said.

"Why don’t we team up with Grandma Yang and them? After all, we’re all here to pick mushrooms; it’d be more lively with company."

Grandma Yang naturally took Mo Wanwan’s hand enthusiastically, the two of them looking as close as a long-lost grandma and granddaughter.

Jiang Lai smiled but said nothing, seeing a downhill path ahead, she directly took Yangyang’s hand and said.

"There are big bad wolves here that eat children, don’t run off."

[Haha, Jiang Lai looking all serious scaring the kids is so cute]

[Yangyang: Mom, do you think I believe you?]

Everyone was wearing rain boots, and Grandma Yang led Mo Wanwan in front. As they went downhill, Hengheng tried to catch up quickly, but the rain boots slipped suddenly, and before he knew what was happening, a hand firmly grabbed his collar, pulling him back up.

Looking at the high slope, Hengheng felt scared after the fact, glancing at Jiang Lai, his forehead got a flick.

"Be careful walking, or your butt will crack into eight pieces."

In the mountain mist, Hengheng blinked his misty eyes, looking at Jiang Lai and savoring the reliable feeling of being hoisted up. He suddenly felt a little envious of Yangyang.

So this is what it’s like to be lifted up?

No wonder Yangyang likes being the hammer so much.

He likes it too.

Just then, Yangyang, walking ahead, turned around and glared at him fiercely, then in a low voice, said fiercely.

"Don’t look at my mom!"

Just after he said that, Jiang Lai picked up both kids one in each hand and carried them down the slope, and Yangyang, a little disgruntled, told Hengheng.

"Go to your mom’s side."

Hengheng looked at him, then nonchalantly turned his head away.

After they were down the slope, Mo Wanwan remembered Hengheng behind her and called out.

"Hengheng come over, mom will hold your hand."

Yangyang smiled smugly.

"Did you hear that? Your mom is calling you, better go quickly."

This scene was all caught by the viewers in the live broadcast room.

[What’s up with Mo Wanwan, not watching her own kid]

[Didn’t you see Wanwan helping the elderly down the mountain? Are you blind?]

[A senior who picks mushrooms regularly in the mountains and a kid who’s here for the first time, really not hard to decide who needs more help]

[Jiang Lai is so reliable, suddenly I’m a bit smitten, what’s going on]

[Is Yangyang jealous? Hahaha, wasn’t he very disdainful of Jiang Lai before]

[Yangyang is so petty, poor Hengheng almost fell]

[Kids are like that, all little angels, don’t be too harsh on them]

[Felt like Hengheng’s eyes lit up the moment he was lifted]

[I want to be lifted by a beautiful lady too]

As the sun rose, the mist in the mountains dispersed a lot, and as the visibility improved, the mushrooms hidden in the corners appeared one after another.

Grandma Yang, experienced, quickly found a patch of mushrooms under the trees, about three or four clusters, yellowish stalks with earthy caps.

"These are boletus mushrooms, delicious when stir-fried."

After saying that, she naturally picked them and threw them into Mo Wanwan’s basket beside her.

Jiang Lai stood beside holding the basket and didn’t step forward, while Yangyang tugged her sleeve and loudly asked.

"Mom, why is Grandma Yang putting mushrooms in someone else’s basket?"

Childlike innocence is certainly not a pejorative term.

Mo Wanwan suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, Grandma Yang directly said.

"There are plenty of mushrooms in the woods, I’m just teaching you how to pick, this isn’t a big deal."

But Mo Wanwan still walked over to Jiang Lai and handed the mushrooms in the basket over.

"Grandma just threw them in there, sorry, I didn’t have time to stop it, hope you don’t mind."

[It’s just a few mushrooms, what’s there to mind]

[Then why not pick your own? Didn’t you see Jiang Lai being pushed aside?]

[So whose team is Mo Wanwan actually on? Grandma Yang or Grandma Tian?]

[Didn’t they say earlier teaming up is more fun? Do you watch without ears?]

The comment section argued again; whenever Jiang Lai and Mo Wanwan are together, their fans definitely quarrel, even the rational fans can’t help but jump in.

Next to them, Grandma Yang came forward to speak for Mo Wanwan again.

"Ms. Tian can’t see well, so you two stay with me, and we’ll split the mushrooms we pick, right, Jiang Lai?"

Jiang Lai smiled.

She knew from the bottom of her heart that Grandma Yang was biased toward Mo Wanwan, and sticking together would only lead to the same result as the original plan. Splitting equally would eventually turn into Grandma Yang secretly putting mushrooms into Mo Wanwan’s basket without Jiang Lai knowing.

After all, Grandma Yang only mentioned splitting what she picked, but what’s picked by the two would belong to themselves, and in the end, who could blame Grandma Yang if someone had more? It was their own fault for picking less.

But no matter how fast people from the city pick, they can’t be faster than the experts from the mountains secretly adding more to the other’s basket.

Mo Wanwan looked at Jiang Lai, waiting for her to lose her temper.

What surprised her was that Jiang Lai just smiled and said.

"Alright, I wouldn’t mind teaming up with anyone, since you want to team up with Grandma Yang, then I’ll team up with Grandma Tian. Doesn’t matter if we pick more or less, it’s the experience that counts, right son?"

Yangyang didn’t understand, but he unconditionally supported Jiang Lai’s decision, nodding in agreement.

Mo Wanwan’s heart pounded upon hearing this.

Wasn’t Jiang Lai implying that she was deliberately fawning over Grandma Yang and disdaining Grandma Tian who had poor eyesight!

If the audience was really misled by her, what would happen? It would definitely ruin public opinion.

"That’s not what I meant, I just thought teaming up would make it quicker."

"Are you sure we would be quicker working together with you?"
