Chapter 244: Chapter 164 Jian Tiantian Donated Money

Qi Chen extended his long arm and took out a stack of heavy books from the passenger side, placing them in front of Qi Xingzhou, "Jiang Jiang just had a gift, and now it’s your turn. These books are bought for you. The more you read and learn, the more Jiang Jiang will like you."

Before joining the production team, Qi Chen had also given Qi Xingzhou a lesson.

He had sent Qi Xingzhou many links to variety shows, movies, and dramas, asking him to watch all of them.

Qi Chen believed that watching these things could improve Qi Xingzhou’s emotional intelligence and social skills.

The previous Qi Xingzhou wasn’t interested in these things; whenever Qi Chen talked to him about it, Qi Xingzhou would pretend to not understand and lower his head.

Even if Qi Chen dragged him to watch together, Qi Xingzhou would cover his ears with his hands, showing complete aversion.

But last time, Qi Chen said that as long as he finished watching those things, he would find an appropriate opportunity to take him to play with Jiang Ning. Qi Xingzhou actually took it seriously and watched them all.

Then, Qi Chen persuaded Ji Shuang and Qi Jingshan to let Qi Xingzhou participate in "Survive for 30 Days."

The shrewd Big Brother of the Qi Family would, aside from work, watch his brother’s livestream every day. Although Qi Xingzhou’s interactions with others on the show were almost zero, in front of Jiang Ning, he showed a vividness that hadn’t been seen in the past twenty-plus years.

And what pleased the Qi family members the most was that Qi Xingzhou had even learned to fight.

It was indeed a cause for celebration.

Qi Xingzhou stood with a wooden expression, staring at the pile of colorfully vibrant books, not reaching out to take them, nor speaking, but his ears perked up alertly, as if waiting for the next words from Qi Chen.

Qi Chen: "..."

He seemed to know what his brother was thinking.

He said helplessly, "You just heard it yourself, Jiang Ning doesn’t seem to have plans to enter the entertainment industry. She probably won’t participate in variety shows."

Qi Xingzhou’s dark lashes trembled slightly, and he sadly touched the glow light in his pocket.

The brothers got out of the car together.

A few steps after Qi Xingzhou walked away, he turned back, scooped up the stack of oddly-named books in his arms, and walked toward the villa.

Qi Chen watched his younger brother’s retreating figure with an indulgent expression and a hint of a smile at the bottom of his eyes.

...

Jiang Ning spent half an hour on her phone, finally catching up on what had happened during the half month she was out of touch with the real world. Not to mention the issues with the other guests, just the matter between Huo Miao and Mu Mingxuan.

Huo Miao’s and her identities had been exposed.

Huo Family Company was affected, and the stock market plummeted.

Huo Miao’s world came crashing down.

Huo Ziheng had to leave the show ahead of schedule, not due to an accidental fall, but because he was pushed by Huo Miao herself.

What was even more outrageous was that what the little black fan at the airport said today was true; Huo Miao actually pretended to be her and Qi Xingzhou, and became Mu Mingxuan’s lifesaver...

How did Huo Miao dare to do such a thing?

And Mu Mingxuan actually believed it?

At this moment, Jiang Ning’s thoughts resonated with those of the audience in front of the screen: Actually believing someone who can’t swim had saved him, Mu Mingxuan really had a pig’s brain.

Afterward, Jiang Ning also came across another piece of news: #Jian Tiantian donation.

Jiang Ning clicked to look.

Just ten minutes ago, Jian Tiantian posted a cute Weibo with a screenshot of a thirty million yuan donation.

Jian Tiantian: Hehe, thanks for the feed from Jiang Jiang~ The donation is coming! [Image.jpg]

The prices Jiang Ning set for those few prey back then could be said to be sky-high without exaggeration.

The prices for Jian Tiantian and Ling Bo among several guests did not double; according to the agreement, each was required to donate over twenty-four million yuan.

In this session of the show, Jian Tiantian was the only celebrity guest who didn’t crash and burn but instead gained a group of fans; she had already recovered from her initial shocked state.

Jian Tian Tian stepped up without hesitation, opened Mengbo, followed Jiang Ning, then made a donation, and posted about it on Mengbo.

Over 24 million, she rounded it up to a neat 30 million.

Just ten minutes later, the heat of this Mengbo post rapidly climbed, and numerous entertainment reporters and media outlets vied to be the first to report the news.

Jiang Ning followed Jian Tian Tian back and even gave her a like.

Apart from Jian Tian Tian, Huo Miao, Mu Mingxuan, Huo Ziheng, Ling Bo, Yuan Wei, and Lin Qi all owed Jiang Ning money. Not to mention the others, let’s just talk about Huo Ziheng, who had been out of the program for so long and had not mentioned anything about making a donation.

Yet, Jian Tian Tian, who had only been out for half a day, had already announced her donation.

Netizens’ fondness for Jian Tian Tian greatly increased, and they inevitably started pestering the other guests on their Mengbo accounts.

What about the donation?

When will you make your donation?

Even though Jiang Ning didn’t ask everyone for a written IOU at that time, the live broadcast recorded everyone’s every move!

Surely no one would want to be a deadbeat who dines and dashes, right?!

The netizens called out one after another.

The price set by Jiang Ning was already not low to begin with, and for Huo Miao, Huo Ziheng, and Mu Mingxuan, the price was even doubled.

As Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng didn’t have Mengbo accounts, netizens couldn’t find them and could only comment under Huo Miao’s Mengbo account.

And Huo Miao... Huo Miao felt like she was about to collapse.

After picking up Huo Miao and Mu Mingxuan, Huo Li first dropped Mu Mingxuan off at home, then drove with Huo Miao back to the Huo family.

Huo Miao had received a call from Huo Kaiping before, knowing that Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian were as close and protective of her as ever, and then she met Huo Li who had come to pick her up from the airport, so, Huo Miao believed that the Huo family members’ attitude towards her was still the same as before, and they still treated her as the little princess of the Huo family.

As a result, Huo Miao hadn’t even entered the house when she was slapped by Mother Huo, who had also just returned from outside as soon as she got out of the car.

Before Huo Miao could even utter the affectionate "Mommy," Mother Huo slapped her across the face.

Mother Huo looked at Huo Miao with loathing, her voice raised high, "You still dare to come back!"

She then turned her head towards her eldest son and said, "Why did you even bring her back!"

During this time, Huo Corporation suffered from scandals, facing not only the disdain and boycott of the netizens but also reveled in misfortune by industry peers.

Even now when Mother Huo went out, she would be mocked by those Wealthy Madams she used to be friendly with, truly losing face.

Not to mention, Huo Miao had pushed Huo Ziheng down the mountain during the program!

Whether intentional or not, Mother Huo despised her utterly.

It was fortunate that it was a virtual reality show; otherwise, Huo Ziheng would have died without explanation, and his body unclaimed.

Mother Huo’s slap didn’t hold back at all, instantly swelling Huo Miao’s delicate face.

Huo Miao cried out "Ah" in pain and then began sobbing and begging for Mother Huo’s forgiveness.

"Mom! What’s going on?"

"Mom, why are you hitting Sister Miaomiao!"

Hearing the commotion inside, Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian rushed out from the living room, standing in front of Huo Miao.

Mother Huo, seeing her two sons stupidly defending Huo Miao, was so angry she was almost fainting, yelling, "Do you not know it was her who pushed Ziheng down the mountain! And you still dare to defend her!"

Huo Kaian immediately disagreed, "Mom, what are you talking about? Sister Miaomiao didn’t do it on purpose."

"Yeah, Mom, have you lost your mind? It was a virtual reality show, not real," Huo Kaiping chimed in. "Besides, isn’t Second Brother fine now, nothing happened."

Mother Huo, shaking with anger, glared at her two idiot sons, feeling a surge of blood rush to her head uncontrollably.

Huo Li spoke coldly, "Let’s talk inside, don’t make a scene at the door for others to laugh at."
