Chapter 256: Make Her Embarrassed!
Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Make Her Embarrassed!
Xiao Yiyi must have been worn out from playing in the morning, as Xu Wanjia was calling her to get up from bed in the room, and the little one just couldn’t muster the energy, her whole body resisting as she twisted on the bed, her baby voice full of sleepiness, "I want to sleep a bit more, mommy, let me sleep just a bit longer..."
Xu Wanjia glanced at the time, it wasn’t even 4 p.m. yet, and there was still plenty of time before dinner, but according to the card Xiaowen sent over, they had to go to the program team’s hall now to do the game tasks, so she decided to wake Xiao Yiyi up after all.
They couldn’t possibly have everyone waiting for them, mother and daughter.
When Ye Zhenzhen came out of the room, she happened to bump into Lin Qianqian and Han Jiangxue, and the three of them walked out toward the courtyard together.
Lin Qianqian asked with a smile, "Zhenzhen, Xiao Wen mentioned at lunch that you donated a school here, is that true?"
Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Mhmm."
Although she was not initially aware of the matter and only found out through Xiaowen, even now she herself wasn’t clear about the specifics regarding the donation to the school.
But if Yangping Village really lacked a school, even if there was a misunderstanding, she would personally fund the donation after the program to ensure the school in Yangping Village is built.
Lin Qianqian laughed, "Zhenzhen, that’s really amazing of you!"
"It’s alright, nothing special, just doing my part."
Han Jiangxue then asked, "Zhenzhen, I heard at lunch that the school you’re investing in here will be a nine-year compulsory education institution, does Xiao Chen’s Dad know about it?"
She had wanted to ask Ye Zhenzhen publicly before her nap, but had not found the right opportunity, and unexpectedly Lin Qianqian brought it up now.
Naturally, she wasn’t going to let this chance go by, as she dearly hoped that Ye Zhenzhen was just bragging to make a show for the program team.
Ye Zhenzhen had far fewer resources in recent years compared to her, and she hadn’t managed to save much money, so it was even more unlikely for Zhenzhen to have any. Building a school would mean she had to ask her husband for money.
Last time she used money to snatch a role from Ye Zhenzhen, she didn’t see Ye Zhenzhen’s husband taking out money to compete with her, so her question was out of curiosity, but also out of concern for Ye Zhenzhen, right?
In case Ye Zhenzhen was just speaking off the cuff, now in front of the camera, she could help speak a few good words for Ye Zhenzhen.
Ye Zhenzhen completely understood Han Jiangxue’s level-ten insinuating tone; the question would inevitably lead to this:
It costs a lot of money to build a school, if you don’t have money yourself, have you told your husband? What if he doesn’t give you the money?
At that moment, Ye Zhenzhen sneered inwardly, "Why does Xiao Chen’s Dad need to know, what does him knowing have to do with me building a school?"
"Building a school costs a lot of money, you have to think it through carefully!" Han Jiangxue said only half of what she intended, waiting for Ye Zhenzhen to pick up the conversational baton.
What she really thought was: Don’t act tough now, if your husband disagrees later and doesn’t give you the money, you’ll be done for!
Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows slightly, "Let me ask you a question, do you know who wrote the Tao Te Ching?"
"I know, Laozi." Han Jiangxue nodded.
Ye Zhenzhen asked further, "Then do you know why Laozi wrote the Tao Te Ching in the first place?"
Han Jiangxue shook her head, "I don’t know."
Han Jiangxue felt a strong aversion in the depths of her heart to the sudden question posed by Ye Zhenzhen. She had intended to discuss the issue of Ye Zhenzhen’s putting on airs by building a school, but the other party insisted on diverting the conversation.
Before Han Jiangxue had time to think, Ye Zhenzhen had already answered her, "Then let me tell you now that the answer to the question you just asked, and the question I’m asking you now, have the same answer;
Because I damn well feel like it!"
[Hahaha! Sister Zhenzhen, I wouldn’t have guessed you’re a 5G surfer too!]
[Remember last season’s premiere when Xiao Chen asked An Ruilin about that ’what does four plus four equal’ joke? What Ye Zhenzhen said to Han Jiangxue today is so similar, haha!]
[So it’s said, the reason Xiao Chen is so smart is that Ye Zhenzhen taught her well!]
[Is it necessary to have such huge resentment against our Xiao Xue? Our Xiao Xue didn’t do anything to you, truly a troublemaker!]
Han Jiangxue’s face turned a mix of green and white from being scorned by Ye Zhenzhen. She glanced at Lin Qianqian seemingly inadvertently, just as the latter was about to speak to Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, you and Xiao Xue are good friends, aren’t you? There’s no need to speak like that between friends."
Ye Zhenzhen laughed, "I didn’t say anything too excessive. I just told her why I’d write the ’Dao De Jing’, because I damn well feel like it. That’s how I feel about donating to a school too. I feel like it."
Lin Qianqian sighed and said bluntly, "Zhenzhen, Xiao Xue is really just concerned about you. Look, when you weren’t chosen as the second female lead for ’The Life of Ren Pingsheng’, it was Xiao Xue who went to speak to the director on your behalf..."
"Qianqian, stop there!" Han Jiangxue began to panic when Lin Qianqian brought up the script issue. She feared that Lin Qianqian would spill everything.
At that moment, she stared at Lin Qianqian with a very stern gaze, but the latter failed to pick up on the signals she was sending.
No one can keep up with Wu Yuerou!
Ye Zhenzhen’s interest was piqued upon hearing Lin Qianqian mention the script. Before going on the variety show, everything had been mixed up. Han Jiangxue had stolen her script, and she hadn’t had time to settle the score, yet this woman had already been spreading the story herself.
She said to Lin Qianqian, "Qianqian, continue. What did Han Jiangxue say to the director?"
Han Jiangxue smiled, her expression gentle and generous on the surface, "Let’s not talk about it anymore, Qianqian! It’s all in the past."
Internally, however, she cursed Lin Qianqian in a full circle. Who asked you to play the good Samaritan here? What are you even playing at!
Having already said half of it, there was no reason for Lin Qianqian to hold back. At that moment, she felt like a Justice Envoy, "Zhenzhen, the only reason you were chosen by ’The Life of Ren Pingsheng’ production was that Xiao Xue gave up the script to you. She pleaded with Director Yang, saying she wouldn’t play the part and that you should take the role. But then you, you backed out on the day of the costume trial and signed up for Xia Zhi’s movie script instead."
Ye Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes and watched Han Jiangxue with a cold smirk on her lips, "Is that how you’ve always been talking about you stealing my script?"
Han Jiangxue was stunned on the spot. She had never thought that Lin Qianqian would reveal it in front of everyone like this, and Ye Zhenzhen didn’t even give her the slightest semblance of face, directly bringing it up.
At that point, she even began to doubt whether Lin Qianqian had been on Ye Zhenzhen’s side from the start... and if they were deliberately putting on this act in front of her just to embarrass her!
[What’s going on here, does it mean that Han Jiangxue stole the script?]
[I guess that’s exactly it. Stole the script and then spread lies everywhere,]
[So, the truth is finally clear - it wasn’t because Ye Zhenzhen’s schedule didn’t fit, but because Han Jiangxue used her resources to enter the group, directly ousting her?]
[My God, I’ve stumbled upon something. Han Jiangxue spends money to edge out Ye Zhenzhen, and Ye Zhenzhen spends money to build a school... Holy cow!]
