Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Unrequited Love Turns Into Enmity

In reality, Su Yinwan had not noticed Bai Lu’s presence at all.

The company had too many artists, and she couldn’t possibly pay attention to each one, especially to unknown eighteenth-tier actresses like Bai Lu; naturally, she treated her as if she were invisible.

Faced with Jiang Li’s cold indifference, she did not give up but feigned composure, "Brother Shaojing and I searched for a long time to find this place. We thought we’d encounter some strangers and were ready to back off, but to our surprise, it’s you guys—great—"

She coughed several times, somewhat apologetically, "I got too excited and forgot I haven’t had any water all day. My throat is dry, and I choked. Sorry, sorry."

[Gosh, Wenwen really seems happy, I can’t understand why these people are so indifferent.]

[That’s right, even if they don’t recognize each other, they have at least done a reality show together!]

Jiang Li took in her performance and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips, "I really am sorry. We should have invited Miss Su and Mr. Shang in for a couple of cups of tea, but this isn’t my home—it’s a survival reality show. Our boiled water is limited, but if you two don’t mind, you could try the pool nearby for a couple of sips to moisten your throats. It’s mountain spring water, so it should be clean enough."

She resolved Su Yinwan’s moral entrapment with ease.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu’s look of admiration toward Jiang Li increased.

As expected of her idol! Was she the only one who dared to mock Su Yinwan and Shang Shaojing like this?

Su Yinwan’s expression became somewhat awkward. She was annoyed, yet the system’s warning rang in her ears—

[Please, host, do not break character.]

She had no choice but to forcefully suppress her anger.

But Shang Shaojing couldn’t hold back anymore, stepping forward to pull her behind him and get straight to the point, "This is indeed not a place for playing house, and we’re not here to chat with you. The island’s water sources are limited, and it took us a long time to find this pool. Since it’s a public resource, how about we each take half?"

Jiang Li maintained a smile on her face, but inside she had already rolled her eyes countless times.

True to his role as the male lead, he exhibited unreasonable dominance to the extreme.

"I don’t quite agree with Mr. Shang’s opinion," she said calmly, but her words were pointed. "This is a competitive program. While it may appear to be a public resource, everyone understands that whoever occupies it first owns it. Otherwise, I doubt you would have stooped to the point of arguing over a small pool with us, right?"

Her light words stripped Shang Shaojing’s disguise bare, and the viewers in the livestream couldn’t help but marvel at Jiang Li’s boldness.

Keep in mind that the island was the property of the Gu Family, and their relationship with the merchant family was not ordinary. Even if Shang Shaojing claimed the entire island as his own, that wouldn’t be too far-fetched.

Now Jiang Li was provoking him—who had spread the rumor that Eldest Miss Jiang was relentlessly pursuing President Shang?

That’s not affection; that’s clearly enmity!

The original "Flash Change" had a limited audience, but this survival reality show was different, with a fame that could be called historic in the world of variety shows, and viewers spanned all demographics, particularly the high-powered ones.

They had previously believed Jiang Li was clinging to Young Master Shang, but now there was a dramatic turnabout—unrequited love turned into animosity!

[If Jiang Li really likes Shang Shaojing, I’ll eat my computer right now.]

[Jiang Li looks like she’s about to shut the door and release Xiao Hei any second... so who spread the rumor that she likes Shang Shaojing? Truly devious!]

[Ah, so that’s all Shang Shaojing amounts to. He didn’t even dare to confront Team A before, but now he comes here to compete with a girl over water. Shameless!]

[Clearly, it’s Jiang Li and the others who are impolite, right? Since everyone knows each other, giving some water wouldn’t hurt. Instead, they have to tear each other’s faces.]

[Look at that, Shang Shaojing even has some die-hard fans?]

Shang Shaojing’s complexion indeed became even uglier, seemingly not expecting Jiang Li to be so confrontational.

However, the more she behaved like this, the less he wanted to leave.

Because he always felt there was an ulterior motive to Jiang Li’s cold detachment.

Moreover, rather than aimlessly searching for the next water source, it was better to stay put here. Other teams were unfamiliar and unpredictable to them, but Jiang Li and Jiang Yan posed no threat.

Another reason...

He knew Jiang Li was good at calculating certain things, and her determination to stay put suggested she had a reason.

It might even coincide with his own goals.

Not to mention that even the hired soldiers he brought had said the Feng Shui here was good.

With that in mind, Shang Shaojing narrowed his eyes, "In that case, name your price. We happen to have points on us. How about we each have equal rights to use the pool?"

Originally, Jiang Li was a bit impatient, but upon hearing Shang Shaojing’s words, an idea struck her.

Anyway, she couldn’t sever her bond with the male and female leads now; driving them away might mean encountering them again in a few days.

It would be better to turn the situation to her advantage and seize the opportunity to gain more benefits.

A hint of genuine sincerity surfaced in Jiang LI’s eyes, "President Shang wants to negotiate terms with me? Fine, please come inside, Jiang Yan, pour some tea."

Jiang Yan: ??

Wasn’t it agreed to let them drink the water he used to wash vegetables?

Why were they inviting people in for tea now?!

Bai Lu was also confused, but since this was her idol’s decision, she respected it even if she didn’t understand.

Worried that Jiang Li might be bullied by the two alone, she followed them in with an axe in hand.

As she stepped into the cave, she turned to Jiang Yan, "Actually, Young Master Jiang, maybe you should wait at the cave entrance for Dean Yu and the others to come back."

He tended to speak out of turn, and if he got into an argument with Shang Shaojing inside and spoiled the idol’s plans, that wouldn’t be good.

After all, such incidents had occurred numerous times on "Flash Change."

Jiang Yan: "..."

So one moment they use him as a waiter, and the next, as a doorman, huh?

Alright, he indeed had to take on this role.

Otherwise, without them, he really couldn’t survive on this deserted island.

Su Yinwan followed Jiang Li inside, thrilled at having achieved her initial goal.

But she soon lost her smile—

Jiang Li’s cave was like a small villa come to life!

It not only had everything one could need, but there was even a handheld gaming console on the table.

What kind of life was she leading on this deserted island?!

Seeing this, Su Yinwan’s sense of injustice grew further.

But just as she was about to sit down on a bed, Bai Lu called out.

"Uh, Senior Su," she said, "this bed belongs to Dean Yu. He doesn’t like others touching it..."
