Even After My Death
Chapter 211 - 148: Life-Saving Benefactor (Three-in-One)_3

Chapter 211: Chapter 148: Life-Saving Benefactor (Three-in-One)_3

Compared to her previous life of delicate makeup and styled outfits carefully matched by a stylist, Huo Miao, now with a bare face and wrinkled clothes, looked like a refugee.

But at this moment, in Mu Mingxuan’s eyes, Huo Miao was more heart-stirring than at any other time before.

Mu Mingxuan raised his arm and grabbed Huo Miao’s hand tightly, looking at her very seriously, he spoke with gravity, "Miaomiao, thank you for saving me. Once we leave this desolate island, we’ll get our marriage certificate right away. Today, I owe my life to you. You’re not only my lifesaver but also the person whom I, Mu Mingxuan, am willing to protect with my life! I swear, from now on, you’re more important to me than my own life."

[!!!!]

[...]

[What is happening!!!]

[It’s over, this is a huge misunderstanding!]

Huo Miao had not expected Mu Mingxuan to regard her as his lifesaver.

Huo Miao panicked inwardly, about to deny it, but Mu Mingxuan’s words carried so much weight.

She and Mu Mingxuan had originally planned to get married right after graduating from college, but Madam Mu had always opposed their marriage.

Madam Mu was a strong-willed character, and since Mu Mingxuan often listened to his mother, he found himself in a difficult position and, in the end, they only had an engagement and no wedding.

She had hinted many times in front of Mu Mingxuan about her wish to get married sooner, especially after the Huo Family brought Jiang Ning back, Huo Miao felt even more of a sense of crisis, but Mu Mingxuan, considering Madam Mu’s thoughts, just reassured her to wait a bit longer.

Huo Miao also had not expected that her wish to get married would be fulfilled so swiftly, and moreover, on the pretense of Jiang Ning’s lifesaving grace.

Good fortune follows a disaster; her old ancestors hadn’t deceived her after all.

Huo Miao closed her mouth, swallowing back all the words of explanation that were about to escape her throat.

This was a misunderstanding on Mu Mingxuan’s part, she couldn’t be blamed.

She hadn’t said anything.

Huo Miao bowed her head, hiding the guilt on her face, but her voice was filled with emotion, "Brother Mingxuan, to receive these words from you, I’m willing to give anything. I want to be with you, to become family."

Mu Mingxuan, holding Huo Miao’s hand, was also deeply moved by her words.

[...]

[Ah, this... is hard to judge]

[I’m dying of laughter; what kind of pig brain does Mu Mingxuan have? Is this the next in line for the Mu Family that everyone pins their hopes on? Fooled by a little green tea b*tch. If Huo Miao had that much ability, wouldn’t she have saved herself before?! Just use your brain, and you’ll see it’s impossible!]

[Haha, sisters get the real deal]

A whole bunch of comments below agreed, mocking Mu Mingxuan’s gullibility.

Madam Mu, watching the live broadcast and seeing these comments, became so angry that she threw her phone on the ground.

The servants stood trembling to one side; during this period, that was the 13th phone Madam Mu had smashed...

After Huo Miao and Mu Mingxuan opened up to each other, their affection heated up rapidly, even more intense than before.

Huo Miao asked with concern, "Brother Mingxuan, can you move? Let me help you into the house."

Mu Mingxuan nodded, "I can."

Huo Miao supported Mu Mingxuan, and they returned to the attic side by side.

Yuan Wei and the others had just cooked the fish and crabs and were sitting on the sofa eating when they saw Huo Miao helping Mu Mingxuan out; everyone was dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Hadn’t Huo Miao said that Mu Mingxuan had died in the river?

Everyone was so frightened that they were in a state of shock.

Huo Miao had just been crying to Mu Mingxuan, saying that Yuan Wei and the others had refused to help because they said they couldn’t swim, so now, seeing several people sitting on the sofa eating, Mu Mingxuan was very displeased.

He snorted coldly and limped up the stairs with Huo Miao’s assistance.

Yuan Wei and the others, who were originally prepared to greet him, rolled their eyes and continued eating their own food when they saw this.

With no rescue coming day after day, they no longer revered Mu Mingxuan as before.

Here, even if The Emperor himself showed up, without finding food, he would still starve!

...

Half an hour later on the fan blog.

There were countless netizens criticizing Huo Miao, almost all of whom had just watched the live broadcast.

[Successfully disgusted to death by Huo Miao’s move! Can’t the production team get Huo Miao off the show?]

[Right!! I never knew, turns out she’s such a bitch, she used to seem sweet, now just looking at her gives me breast pain]

[The audience’s breasts are breasts too, can’t the production team consider the viewers!]

[...]

#KickHuoMiaOffTheShow!

This hashtag managed to trend that evening, showing just how much netizens despised Huo Miao.

In the production’s backstage, producer Chen Yan was still unaware of the uproar online; he watched the live feed, twirling a lighter in his hand, his sharp profile barely visible in the dim light, he said with a smile, "Let’s call it a wrap for this show."

The idea of a broadcast without informing the guests, conceived by him and Shen Zha, was merely to let the audience see the guests’ most genuine reactions.

Of course, they had achieved their goal.

Over these days, the behavior of the guests had all been witnessed by the viewers.

Star after star had their image collapse, and since the premiere day, the production had become a regular on the trending list, as if they had bought a big villa on it, with at least two or three trending topics related to the show every day.

During this period, the live stream’s viewing numbers had reached a terrifying level, not only surpassing the previous seven seasons but even setting a record high above all other domestic variety shows.

Countless advertisers extended olive branches to the production, with bids for advertising spots in the live stream starting in the seven-figure range.

In just half a month, they had created an overwhelming profit for the production team.

With the character and behavior of the guests already fully revealed, continuing the broadcast seemed pointless.

Director Shen Zha nodded, agreeing with Chen Yan’s decision.

Five minutes later.

Survive for 30 Days Official Weibo: We thank our audience for the support and love for our show. Due to certain reasons, the production team has decided to intervene in the guests’ desolate island routine earlier than planned. Whether to continue the live broadcast will respect the guests’ opinions.

Little Orange Juice: What does this mean?

Schrödinger’s Cat: Early intervention? What kind of intervention?

Xue Hua: I’m dizzy! You were supposed to kick Huo Miao and Mu Mingxuan off the show, not all the guests! I still want to keep watching Jiang Ning!

Lucky Streak: When the production announced the guests before, everyone was hyping Huo Miao, taking Huo Miao’s side, criticizing Jiang Ning, calling for the production to cut Jiang Ning out. Now, with Jiang Ning turning the tables against the odds, everyone has pushed Huo Miao to the trending searches, leading to the current development; does this count as forming a fate loop?

Hardworking Little Bear: The Fragrance Principle, late but certain.

The comments section went crazy.

Shen Zha and Chen Yan couldn’t help but laugh and cry when they heard the feedback from their staff.

They had made this decision without knowing that Huo Miao was trending or that netizens were boycotting her.

Well... one can only say that it was all arranged by fate.
