Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 524 - 6: After Divorce, the Cannon Fodder Joins a Romance Variety Show (Part 6)
Jiang Lai directly took two bottles and handed them to the little girl.
"Little girls all like to be pretty, don’t be shy. Study hard, and when you earn money in the future, you can be as beautiful as you want."
"Mm! I will definitely study hard!"
The little girl held the spray, her face flushed with excitement, just as healthy-looking as before boarding the boat with no trace of sunburn.
[What should I do? I think Jiang Lai has some redeeming qualities.]
[Can’t you tell it’s a performative personality in front of the camera?]
[I’m drooling over that box of spray. It’s been fifteen minutes and still no restock.]
[Damn, a whole box of sunscreen. To what extent will female celebrities go for beauty?]
Jiang Lai confidently showcased herself, smiling at the camera.
"No choice, we make a living this way. We have to be worthy of the fans and the advertisers."
[Haha, kind of cute.]
[Whoa, up-close shot and her skin is so fine you can’t even see pores.]
[Used to seeing herself with no-makeup makeup that she believes she naturally looks like that?]
[With my ten years of experience as a makeup artist, she has a naturally beautiful eyebrow shape without any makeup.]
Jiang Lai confidently faced the camera, one hand holding her bag and the other pulling a suitcase, following the signs forward.
The island’s temperature, over 38 degrees, made her forehead and nose tip coated with a thin layer of sweat, her skin slightly flushed, appearing healthy yet clear.
[Is this really a no-makeup makeup look?!]
[Completely bare-faced, Jiang Lai’s character might be questionable, but her skin is undeniably good.]
[Let’s see how Jiang Lai sucks up to our Domineering President today.]
[Ahhh, everyone hurry to Qingqing’s live stream. The Sweet Admiration pair is being so adorable, ahhh.]
The Sweet Admiration pair, their CP name born from Shang Qingrao and Domineering President Murong Yan’s names.
They’re currently among the top three hottest CP pairs in the entertainment industry.
When introducing Little Buding and Jiang Lai, they especially stressed.
"The Domineering President spent quite a lot to rank their CP."
Jiang Lai nodded.
"Sweet Admiration pair... so are they dating now?"
"No, you know what flirtation is, right?"
"Mm, then I’ll add some fuel to the fire and try to get them to heat up sooner."
Why the fuss with this so-called pure love?
This is a private vacation island, rented by the director team as the second shoot location. Since it’s surrounded by the sea with no other transport, everyone must stay on the island for the next two days and two nights until the filming ends. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
When Jiang Lai arrived dragging her suitcase, the solo live stream switched to a multi-person stream, with shots taken from various angles to form a split-screen, making it convenient for the audience to observe from multiple perspectives.
On the sofa, two pairs of men and women were already chatting and drinking by the crystal table.
The boy at the edge looked young, in his early twenties, with a buzzcut and compact muscles, appearing young yet strong. He’s one of the male guests this season, a trending rookie actor Zhou Luo.
Sitting next to him was a young boy with dyed blond hair, a currently hot singer Hu Peiyuan.
Across from them were two girls, one with a high-cold appearance and slightly darker skin named Coco, a mixed-race model, tall with long legs and a good figure, speaking bluntly without sugarcoating due to growing up abroad.
The other, a girl with long curly hair and delicate features, an actress from idol romance dramas named Gao Yanwei, currently one of the highest-traffic "Xiao Hua" in the country.
The four were chatting, and when they saw Jiang Lai approaching, Gao Yanwei cheerfully greeted her.
"Is this the new female guest? Haven’t seen you before."
The other two boys also stood up to greet her, appearing very polite.
Jiang Lai put down her suitcase, smiled at them.
"I’m not new, but reintroducing is okay. Jiang Lai, we met last episode."
"Jiang Lai??"
Gao Yanwei was taken aback.
Was this stunningly beautiful girl with fair skin and stunning looks really Jiang Lai?
The Jiang Lai who was moody and heavily made-up from morning to night last episode?
She looks like this without makeup? Her skin is so good?
Others were also taken aback but quickly recalled, being old hands in the entertainment industry.
Coco, sitting on the sofa, looked at Jiang Lai and directly said.
"You gained weight."
"Mm, gained seven pounds."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lai readily admitted to getting fat, taking Coco by surprise.
"How did you manage that?"
Zhou Luo, beside them, laughed as he looked at Jiang Lai.
"Got stimulated after the last episode?"
His smile was mischievous, the two white tiger teeth making his face appear more naive and handsome.
[Ahhh, how can my son be so handsome!!]
[I don’t care, Luo Luo is my baby, I’ll take him away.]
[Haha, encountering two straightforward people who leave no face for Jiang Lai at all.]
[Jiang Lai, you deserved it! Hahaha]
In the last episode, Jiang Lai paired with Zhou Luo for a day, but Zhou Luo had already sent his love letter to Shang Qingrao, and when he realized the next day that Shang Qingrao hadn’t picked him, he felt down and looked sour.
He excused it citing a cold, and a bunch of fans below stood up for him, saying he worked hard while sick.
Without receiving any kind expression from Jiang Lai, naturally, emotions flared leading to some friction with Zhou Luo and being hounded by his fans ever since.
This time, his initiative seemed less than friendly.
Jiang Lai looked at him, unabashed in her gaze.
"Yeah, after teaming up with you for a day, I’ve been having nightmares every night, barely getting any sleep."
Zhou Luo’s expression tensed slightly, but in front of the camera, he had to remain polite.
"Hope you have better luck this time and avoid crossing paths with me."
"Right back at you, haha."
[My baby’s dislike for Jiang Lai is written all over his face.]
[What’s wrong with Jiang Lai? Last episode, my baby was sick and still finished tasks, while she just sulked!]
[Stay away from my baby, Jiang Baiyan!]
The tension between Zhou Luo and Jiang Lai went unnoticed by other guests.
It had nothing to do with them, after all.
Suddenly, a voice came from the kitchen.
"Coco, how can you carelessly say a girl got fatter? Jiang Lai’s physique is good. Even if she gained weight, she can quickly slim back down."
The speaker’s voice was clear, instantly capturing everyone’s attention.
Then Shang Qingrao emerged, carrying a plate of freshly baked cake, smiling.
"You’re just in time, the cake is freshly baked."
The usually cold Coco showed a kinder expression to Shang Qingrao, getting up to help her plate the cake, and Gao Yanwei assisted too.
Then Shang Qingrao patted Zhou Luo and Hu Peiyuan on the shoulder.
"You two boys, don’t just sit there. Help Jiang Lai with her luggage upstairs."
But Zhou Luo went directly to the kitchen.
"I’ll help you get the bowls."
The pressure was on Hu Peiyuan, with Shang Qingrao looking helplessly at him.
"Trouble you then."
Hu Peiyuan, feeling cornered, wasn’t interested in Jiang Lai after all. His crush last episode was also Shang Qingrao, and he intended to avoid wasting time on Jiang Lai this time too.
