Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 544 - 26: After Divorce, the Cannon Fodder Joins a Romance Variety Show
Liang Qizhou looked around and then touched the two hundred yuan in his pocket.
This two hundred, I still need to buy swim trunks.
Which means he can’t play any of the beach activities.
Nearby, Murong Yan watched their interaction, and his fair face darkened with anger.
His chest was slightly swollen, the sea breeze whistled into his nose, making him cough involuntarily.
"Yan, are you okay?"
A gentle voice suddenly came from behind.
Murong Yan turned around and saw Shang Qingrao standing behind him, not knowing when she had arrived.
He didn’t pay much attention, still turned his head irritably, squinting at Jiang Lai speeding through the waves.
Why is she smiling so happily?
Why is the divorce having no effect on her at all?
Murong Yan felt inexplicably annoyed, wanting to smoke, but realized they were filming a show, and forced himself to bear it.
"System notification, Heartbeat Value is decreasing.
Heartbeat Value: -10
Current Heartbeat Value: 77.
Heartbeat Value dropped by ten, points recovered by a hundred.
Current total point value is eighty, point balance is insufficient, beauty value decreases."
The sudden voice in her head shocked Shang Qingrao, freezing her on the spot as the last sentence echoed repeatedly in her ears.
Beauty value decreases.
Beauty value decreases!!
She quickly turned around, trying to stay calm, but still stumbled to a nearby convenience store, looking at her reflection in the glass.
No abnormalities.
With trembling hands, she touched her nose and mouth.
Thankfully, there was no abnormality.
It seemed the decrease in beauty value wasn’t much.
After calming down, the sea breeze blew, and she clearly felt the hairs on her back standing up.
Only then did she realize how panicked she had just been.
After a long sigh, Shang Qingrao returned to Murong Yan’s side.
She must quickly find out the reason for Murong Yan’s Heartbeat Value decrease, as the next shock might be a price she cannot bear.
Despite trying to control herself, her erratic breathing was noticed by the viewers in front of the show.
[Why do I feel that Shang Qingrao is acting weird?]
[She seemed like a thief just a moment ago, going to the glass and checking herself out.]
[Whoa, why do I feel Shang Qingrao’s looks have changed a bit, feels like... her features aren’t as grand as before, now they look a bit cramped.]
This comment sparked heated discussion immediately.
Subsequently, everyone kept staring at Shang Qingrao’s face, and even on Weibo, a group quickly formed to compare screenshots of her facial changes.
This sudden change felt very eerie.
Viewed separately, the nose, eyes, and mouth were unchanged, still as beautiful and delicate as always.
But when put together, something seemed off.
The arrangement of her features wasn’t as comfortable as before.
Shadows appeared unnecessarily between her brows, making her look a bit sharp.
Even her once charming and captivating toothy smile wasn’t as comfortable to watch as before.
[Qingqing is just tired, who can still be energetic after a whole day of tasks?]
[Some people are crazy, if Qingqing isn’t good-looking, then who is in this world?]
[Just tired, how can someone’s facial features change suddenly, some people are just bored.]
[Could be a filming angle issue, the sun at the beach today was pretty strong, and it’s a live broadcast, definitely affects filming quality.]
Fans were still defending the main star.
But Murong Yan, facing Shang Qingrao, already sensed something was off.
He averted his gaze irritably towards Shang Qingrao, a hint of confusion passing through his eyes.
Was it his illusion?
Why did he feel that Shang Qingrao looked slightly different?
Was it the sunlight?
"Yan, what’s wrong? Aren’t you feeling hot? The sun’s getting stronger, why don’t you go for a swim for a while?"
Murong Yan shook his head, hiding his confusion.
"Not interested, why are you here?"
"The villa was quite boring, so I thought of going for a walk at the beach. I saw you guys having fun here, so I thought I’d join in."
Joining for fun was a facade; she just wanted to see what Jiang Lai was up to.
Sure enough, as soon as she got to the beach, she saw Jiang Lai being dragged swiftly by a speedboat, her tank top shorts quite dazzling, dressed revealingly, not looking like an actress at all, but rather like a streetwalker, extremely vulgar.
Murong Yan was used to seeing women dressed flamboyantly at wine parties, and he personally admitted that he despised such people the most.
So when he saw Jiang Lai working it, Shang Qingrao felt relieved, even a bit amused.
If the director saw Jiang Lai acting like this, she surely wouldn’t be the female lead in that art film.
A woman exuding such cheap fox-like allure everywhere couldn’t possibly play a pure, gentle damsel in an art film.
So, Shang Qingrao focused on presenting herself as clean and transparent throughout the variety show.
Dressing neatly, facial expressions clean, even her aura needed to be clean.
Thus, when she smiled at Murong Yan again, she suddenly noticed the irritability and unnaturalness in his eyes, and her heart sank.
"Yan..."
"Heading back, it’s boring."
Murong Yan interrupted her, then directly walked toward the beach, watching as Jiang Lai completed her final lap and rowed over slowly.
"Let’s go back."
Jiang Lai was having a great time, a healthy glow on her cheeks.
"Go if you want, why tell me."
There were still three hundred left, Jiang Lai checked, she could still play another diving game.
Murong Yan’s gaze turned cold, and he lowered his voice.
"Dressing like this, wanting all men to look at you? Is it fun? Can’t you see what they’re really interested in?"
Hearing that, Jiang Lai’s smile didn’t falter, but a chill appeared in her eyes.
"I don’t know about others, but you are that kind of man.
To which I have only one thing to say, none of your business."
She did whatever made her comfortable.
Besides, what’s called revealing?
In the eyes of someone like Murong Yan, even if you cover everything but your eyes, he’d still think you’re seducing people with them.
She ignored people like this.
After leaving those words, she walked straight to the next activity, leaving Murong Yan standing there, fuming.
Their conversation was so quiet, even Shang Qingrao standing by couldn’t hear it.
She sensed Murong Yan’s peculiarity, and looking at Jiang Lai’s back, she suppressed her emotions and said.
"Jiang Lai’s figure is really great; I truly envy her courage to showcase her beauty fearlessly."
"You call that courage?" Murong Yan sneered.
"Why isn’t it courage? Everyone’s watching her, yet she’s so composed. If it were me, I’d surely feel a bit embarrassed."
"Why compare yourself to her?"
Murong Yan didn’t want to continue watching here.
He couldn’t understand why he was so angry, but just one more glance at Jiang Lai made his chest feel blocked.
Just about to leave, he noticed that only Zhou Luo was left nearby.
"Where’s Liang Qizhou?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Zhou Luo pointed to the distance.
"He went to play a game."
"You had enough money?"
"He didn’t buy swim trunks, so there’s just enough for one activity."
