Chapter 108 - Think About Whether You Can Beat Me Or Not

[I thought it was a campus romance between a rich young master and a future female star, but I didn’t expect it to be all an act.]

[@jiangyuexi’s acting is so good. I really believed her when she looked so embarrassed and shy when they first met lol]

[@theOtherHalfsLaw. The production team should come out and talk. Don’t Play Dead. They knew that they were a real couple, but they still invited them to participate in the show. They lied to the audience!]

[Star Trek’s variety shows always have a script. I’ve long expected this.]

[@theOtherHalfsLaws, even if there is a script, you should at least find two single people, right? What’s the point of finding a couple?]

[Although I’m a couple, I’m a couple. It’s not like you guys produce candy and feed it directly to me.]

[@jiang Yuexi,@guxiaoze, since they are a real couple, why are you still pretending to be on a first date? Why are you acting shy on a first date? Why are you acting like you’re not familiar with each other on a date?]

Following that, the official Weibo of the flash channel posted, “@theOtherHalfsLaw, please apologize for your false accusations against Jiang Xun.”

Soon after, the official Weibo of “The Other Half’s Law” deleted the Weibo post criticizing Jiang Xun and put up an official statement.

“Due to negligence, we failed to investigate the background of our guests carefully, resulting in a faulty background for two of our guests. Both parties joined our variety show as lovers, which brought a very bad viewing experience to our audience. We sincerely apologize to @jiangxun for having prematurely jumped to conclusions.”

“At the same time, the production team has canceled Jiang Yuexi and Gu Xiaoze’s subsequent episodes. In the episodes that have already been filmed but not broadcast yet, all scenes of the two will also be deleted. The production team will contact new guests to move into the cabin as soon as possible.]

The response of the production team was rather quick, and the apology was also timely.

Jiang Xun received one Merit Point from the production team, which she found unsatisfactory at best.

“There are so many people in their production team, yet the entire team only contributed one Merit Point to me. Doesn’t this mean that they’re really insincere?”

After that, Yuexi and Xiaoze shippers started jumping ship en masse.

[They are already so rich, yet they still came to the variety show to scam money out of people. Disgusting!]

As a result, Yuexi and Xiaoze had no choice but to come out and apologize and announce their withdrawal from the program.

However, there were still some diehard fans who insisted on their staying.

[Am I the only one who feels happy? I’m really stoned. They are a real couple, so I can rest assured that I’m stoned.]

[Me too. I was already hoping for them to end up together, but now that it’s been confirmed, what’s the problem? I can still stand by my ship!]

However, most of the fans were more concerned about being deceived.

Currently, “The Other Half’s Law” had only aired three episodes in Season Two.

Yuexi’s fan base thus rendered weak. She only had the fans that she had accumulated during these three episodes, so she didn’t have a stable fanbase, nor did she have many diehard fans.

Not only that, some netizens had found out that the title sponsor of the show was Gu Enterprise. The stock price and products of Gu Enterprise had been greatly affected as a result.

The most immediate impact was that the stock price of Gu Enterprise had plummeted, and its return on equity had sharply decreased.

Yuexi still hadn’t been exposed as being the second daughter of the Chengye group’s head, so the Chengye group had narrowly escaped a disaster. That said, if she were to be exposed in the future, it was hard to say whether Jiang Chengye would be affected or not.

However, the Gu family had a lot of complaints about Yuexi. They all felt like they’d been cheated by her.

“Why is it that the Gu family is the only one affected by the exposure of the matter between the two of you?” Hu Liwei, Xiaoze’s mother, said unhappily. “But nothing happened to the Jiang Family? She kept her identity as the second daughter of the Jiang family a secret!”

Yuexi could only suck up to her future mother-in-law’s dissatisfaction. It had taken her a lot of effort to appease her.

Two days later, Jiang Xun ran into Xiaoze on the campus of Beijing University.

When she saw him again, she suddenly remembered that Xiaoze was also studying at Beijing University. It seemed that he would graduate from his fourth year this year.

When she saw him, she pretended not to know him and simply walked over without looking at him.

“Jiang Xun!” Xiaoze didn’t expect her to ignore him when he’d deliberately come looking for her. He had to stop her.

Jiang Xun rolled her eyes. How could Xiaoze be so blind? Couldn’t he tell that she didn’t want to talk to him?

“You deliberately told everyone about me and Yuexi and made us lose the show.” Xiaoze stood in front of Jiang Xun, once again blocking her way.

“You just can’t stand seeing her succeed, can you? Your father was the one who made the decision to send you to the countryside. How old was Yuexi at the time? Of course she wouldn’t know anything! This matter has nothing to do with Yuexi. Even if you hate her, you can’t blame her for everything that’s gone wrong in your life!” Xiaoze said angrily.

Jiang Xun rolled her eyes. She really couldn’t be bothered to talk to him at this point. With one punch, she knocked Xiaoze down, leaving him with a black eye.

Xiaoze, for his part, had never thought that Jiang Xun wouldn’t play by the rules at all. She’d attacked him out of nowhere without even saying a word!

He sat on the ground, completely stunned by this turn of events. How did he get knocked down by Jiang Xun?

“You went on a variety show to fake your relationship and still have the nerve to come looking for me?” Jiang Xun scoffed. No wonder he and Yuexi were indeed a couple—they were both so shameless, always blaming someone else for their mistakes.

Xiaoze had never been beaten up by anyone from a young age, let alone by a woman. His expression suddenly blackened with malice, and his facial features instantly became ferocious.

He shot up from the ground. His eyes were red, and he glared at Jiang Xun like an angry beast.

He didn’t care that she was a girl. He swung his fist at Jiang Xun and said, “You mangy cur! Do you want to die?!”

How dare you hit me?!

Jiang Xun had only managed to hit him just now because he wasn’t paying attention. He could admit that she was indeed very strong, but if he was mentally prepared, there was no way she could hit him!

Jiang Xun couldn’t blame him for hitting a woman when she was practically begging for it!

However, while Xiaoze’s fantasy was quite idealistic, the reality was very much the opposite.

His fist didn’t touch Jiang Xun at all. Instead, Jiang Xun lowered her body and punched his abdomen again.

Xiaoze staggered back at the blow, his body doubling over and toppling to the ground again. This time, he did not feel as good as before. He felt as if his organs had been pulverized by Jiang Xun’s punch, and his abdomen was in incredible pain.

This time, he could not get up for a while and could only hug his stomach and lay on the ground. With great difficulty, he turned over and braced one knee on the ground, trying to push himself up, all while coughing as his forehead pressed against the ground.

Jiang Xun clicked her tongue in disgust.

He looked so young, but why was he so impatient?

“In the future, when you want to bother me again, think carefully about whether you can beat me or not.” After saying that, Jiang Xun walked around Xiaoze in disgust.
