Chapter 494: Chapter 493: Not Planning to Continue Being Passively Beaten

Hu Yaoyao didn’t speak to Hu Yingying, and there was nothing Hu Yingying could do about it.

She went over to Hu Xiaohong and suggested, "Xiaohong, I see that there’s more seafood over there. How about we go look for some there?"

Hu Xiaohong wanted to mess with Mianmian a bit, but he wasn’t stupid.

It was obvious that everyone present was protecting Su Mianmian, and if he deliberately made a move against Mianmian again, he would only be harming himself.

"Sure, Sister, let’s go there then," Hu Xiaohong became an obedient little sister and agreed with Hu Yingying.

He glanced at the Little White Dragon silently following by Mianmian’s side, his eyes rolling around as he leaned in and whispered to the Little White Dragon, "I really did want to be friends with Mianmian, but she already has so many friends. It makes me sad."

After saying this, Hu Xiaohong left.

Little White Dragon was left standing there, clenching his fists.

Yes, the person who had helped Mianmian grab the razor clams earlier was Yang Xian. It was also Yang Xian who helped her when she almost fell.

And he hadn’t managed to do anything!

Tears welled up in the eyes of the Little White Dragon, and it took him a long time to think of something he could do.

With Hu Xiaohong no longer causing trouble on the beach, Mianmian started digging in the sand and this time found a large clam. She picked up the clam, placed it in the basket, and then collected some other things.

Confirming that the basket was almost full, she told Charlie it was time to go back.

The sun was setting, and it was about five in the afternoon.

Back at the production team’s house, the first order of business was to calculate the points for the seafood gathered in the afternoon.

Mianmian was eager to present the pearl she had found while cooking at noon. She reached into her small bag, but her hand came up empty.

She was taken aback for a moment and turned the small bag inside out.

There was a small brocade pouch inside the small bag, but all the pockets were empty. The black pearl she had specifically placed in the small bag had disappeared!

At this time, the staff had already finished tallying the other seafood, adding points to Mianmian’s group.

The other contestants seemed to have fared quite well, with the Hu sisters currently in first place with a staggering 150 points!

Mianmian’s points were the lowest, putting her in last with only 55.

"Points calculation for today will be concluded at six o’clock," the staff considerately informed Mianmian of the rule, "after six, points can only be counted towards tomorrow."

That meant if Mianmian didn’t want to sleep in a less desirable house at six, she needed to produce something that could be counted for points before then.

"It’s fine, I can sleep anywhere," Charlie said, seeing that Mianmian looked upset, and quickly offered consolation, "Little Auntie, don’t be too sad."

Mianmian, touching her small bag, said, "No, it’s not that I’m sad. The pearl Mianmian found at noon has disappeared."

She had no idea when it had gone missing, let alone when the pearl had vanished.

How strange!

One of the staff, upon hearing Mianmian mention the missing pearl, commented, "Today, the other contestants brought pearls when they came to calculate their points. Little Auntie, you could try opening these clams, and just bring the points to be added before six o’clock."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener read between the lines.

[All had pearls, could it be that Little Auntie’s pearl fell out and someone else picked it up?]

[Such a pity, with the pearl and that basket of seafood, Little Auntie should have been in first place today.]

[I’ve been watching the live-stream all the time, and I really didn’t see when the pearl disappeared.]

While Mianmian’s fans were objectively analyzing the situation, Hu Yingying’s fans butted in with a mocking tone: [Even if it fell, it’s Su Mianmian’s own fault.]

[Who knows whether Su Mianmian is pretending that the pearl is lost and then asks to review the footage, trying to pin the blame on our Xiaohong? Our Xiaohong is the one who found two pearls in a clam!]

Seeing the arrival of the Hu sisters’ fans, Mianmian’s fans directly retorted: [Here comes the Hu army spreading their foul smell again, everyone ignore them.]

The Hu army, realizing their comments were being ignored, had no choice but to boringly return to the Hu sisters’ Broadcasting Room.

At this time, the others were all busy preparing to cook.

Mianmian, grateful for the staff’s reminder, carried the basket and pulled Charlie back to the house to process the afternoon’s seafood.

Whether there were pearls in the clams or not didn’t matter, and since Charlie didn’t mind staying in a poorer house, she wouldn’t mind it either!

Mianmian explained to Charlie how to open a clam, and the two of them opened the clams in front of the camera together.

The first clam contained nothing but Clam Meat.

Inside the second clam, they found a pink pearl.

Continuing the opening, they found four pearls in a total of five clams, including one black pearl that was even bigger than the one Mianmian had found at noon!

She placed these pearls back into the small bag and told Charlie before heading off to the staff room. She hadn’t walked far when she encountered Hu Xiaohong.

"Mianmian, my sister says she’s made a lot of tasty things and heard you guys can’t cook. She wants to invite you over to our place for dinner," Hu Xiaohong’s voice was cute and sincere, as if she had never caused any trouble for Mianmian.

Mianmian shook her head in refusal, "No need, we’ve already learned to cook. It’s fine for you to eat by yourselves."

After declining, she continued to walk out.

A staff member carrying a camera followed her all the way to the points tallying area. Mianmian reached into her sports pants pocket, intending to take out the four pearls from inside.

But when her hand went in, she turned the lining inside out and found nothing!!

The viewers were shocked, and the staff member who had been filming Mianmian was equally dumbfounded. While the viewers saw through the lens, this staff member had been watching Mianmian the entire time.

He had seen with his own eyes Mianmian putting the pearls into her pocket, and she hadn’t put her hand into her pocket the whole way. How could there be nothing in there now?

Mianmian looked up at the bewildered staff member, her little face filled with frustration.

The previous pearl had disappeared, and she had thought it might have been Hu Xiaohong’s doing, which was why she hadn’t put it into her backpack. Now, the pearls she had put in her pocket had also vanished, and the only person she had encountered on the way was Hu Xiaohong; the answer was becoming more and more evident.

But she couldn’t directly accuse Hu Xiaohong, as there was no evidence, and Hu Xiaohong wouldn’t leave any.

The feeling was so suffocating!

Mianmian sighed, "Never mind then, let’s just change the house and sleep."

But she wasn’t planning to keep taking hits passively.

Director Hu had forbidden her from using Mysterious Magic and the like in the show, but now the Hu sisters kept breaking the rules time and again. She must find a public official to come and prove there was a problem with the Hu sisters!

Making up her mind, after Mianmian finished eating and switched houses, she planned to go out and find Hu Zhengguo.

She wanted Hu Zhengguo to invite a respected person over to certify that no one else was using magic at the scene.

They had been filming all day, and there hadn’t been time to discuss this; only at night did she have the opportunity to speak.

When Mianmian sought out Hu Zhengguo, naturally, he had to appear.

But before Mianmian had a chance to speak, Hu Xiaohong had already approached, "Mianmian, why are you looking for Uncle Director to play after the shooting? What are you planning to talk about?"
