Chu Xiyue's gaze wandered between He Jinyuan and Xu Wenchong. Her seat was the best viewing spot in the entire living room. If He Jinyuan and Xu Wenchong started fighting later, she would be able to enjoy the show without getting caught in the crossfire.

On the surface, she appeared to be spacing out. In reality, she was chatting with the system.

"Xu Wenchong really isn't popular, is he? Why hasn't anyone told him he's been cheated on yet?"

[Xu Wenchong and Wan Zhen didn't bring their assistants this time, and the director has blocked the news. However, Xu Wenchong's assistant is already on the

way here. At the latest, he'll arrive within an hour and tell Xu Wenchong the news.]

Chu Xiyue rubbed her hands together eagerly. "One hour is sixty minutes, 3,600 seconds. Soon, soon! Fight, fight!"

Chu Xiyue waited eagerly for the drama, completely detached from their conversation. Seeing that she had remained silent, Wan Zhen took the initiative to bring her into the discussion. "Why hasn't little Chu said anything? Is our topic too boring?"

"Huh?" Chu Xiyue blinked, looking utterly out of the loop. She waved a hand. "No, no. Go on without me."

She glanced outside. Why hadn't Xu Wenchong's assistant arrived yet?

He Jinyuan asked Chu Xiyue, "Junior sister, we were just discussing outfit coordination. What kind of tie do you think would suit President Xu's outfit today?"

Chu Xiyue looked at Xu Wenchong. He was wearing a silver-gray suit today, gold-rimmed glasses, and a black tie—an infallible combination.

"Hmm..." Chu Xiyue pondered. She glanced at Wan Zhen beside Xu Wenchong, then at He Jinyuan, before carefully saying, "Green, maybe. I think a green tie would suit President Xu better."

The living room fell silent for a moment, as though no one could understand Chu Xiyue's taste. Soon, though, they smoothly changed the subject.

[I think Chu Xiyue is right. A green tie would go perfectly with his current...]

[That look Chu Xiyue gave just now... Does she know something?]

[Impossible, right? The guests had their phones taken away before joining the show. How could Chu Xiyue possibly know about He Jinyuan and Wan Zhen?]

[What if Chu Xiyue noticed something unusual during the show? Those two have been awfully blatant.]

[That doesn't seem entirely impossible...]

The barrage gradually shifted toward whether Chu Xiyue knew about He Jinyuan and Wan Zhen's forbidden affair, and just how much she knew.

After some more time passed, an unfamiliar man arrived outside the villa and called Xu Wenchong out. Chu Xiyue excitedly craned her neck toward the door. Sure enough, she saw the man hand Xu Wenchong a tablet while speaking agitatedly.

Xu Wenchong glanced at the tablet, and his face darkened. Carrying it inside, he fixed Wan Zhen with a grim stare.

Wan Zhen looked at Xu Wenchong's expression. "Honey? What's wrong? Did something happen at home?"

The veins on Xu Wenchong's hand bulged as he gripped the tablet. He hurled it straight into He Jinyuan's face, then, before He Jinyuan could react, grabbed him by the collar and hauled him up before punching him in the face!

Chu Xiyue sprang to her feet in excitement. It's starting, it's starting!

Fight, fight!

He Jinyuan did not understand what was happening at first. Then he saw the video playing on the tablet. The man and woman tangled together on the screen—who else could they be but him and Wan Zhen?

Their affair had been discovered?

He Jinyuan was so terrified that he went limp, not even daring to fight back. Wan Zhen saw the video as well. She panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down and raised her hand to turn off the livestream camera.

"Enough, stop!" She stepped forward and grabbed Xu Wenchong. "Whatever it is, let's talk outside. Don't let people here laugh at us."

Xu Wenchong cursed furiously, "I'm already the biggest joke here! You bitch, you actually cheated on me!"

Wan Zhen did not think she had done anything wrong. "You've been keeping mistresses outside—one, two, and more. What's wrong with me finding someone to ease my loneliness?"

"Bitch!" Hearing Wan Zhen speak so self-righteously, Xu Wenchong immediately released He Jinyuan and slapped Wan Zhen across the face. Wan Zhen had lived a pampered life for years and had never suffered such humiliation. She screamed and lunged at Xu Wenchong, her sharp nails scratching his face bloody.

The once quiet and harmonious living room turned into a martial arts tournament. The whole of Northwest Shanxi was a complete mess!

Zhao Xizhou shielded Li Fan'er behind him, while Chu Xiyue sat in a corner, cracking sunflower seeds as she watched the hair-pulling spectacle with relish.

Wonderful. It was truly too wonderful!

The three fought for five or six minutes before the production staff finally arrived and pulled them apart. After something like this happened, filming could no longer continue. Xu Wenchong left the production team first, followed by Wan Zhen and He Jinyuan.

The livestream room was shut down, while news about He Jinyuan, Wan Zhen, and Xu Wenchong spread explosively across the internet.

After the staff cleaned up the wrecked living room, the house became quiet again. The remaining three returned to their own rooms.

At lunchtime, new guests arrived at the villa.

The new guests were a good-looking influencer couple with millions of followers online. The woman was named Miao Qingran, and the man was named Wei Shaolin.

Miao Qingran and Wei Shaolin had been high school classmates and had been together for seven years. They had entered a prestigious university together after high school, and now that they had graduated, they were about to enter the halls of marriage. Their love was evenly matched, so netizens affectionately called them The Evenly Matched Couple.

Chu Xiyue sighed. "Another day of being moved by someone else's love!"

[Then you might be moved a little too early,] the system said while cracking sunflower seeds. [Let me tell you, this man is a schemer. Miao Qingran was an excellent student in high school and could originally have gotten into Tsinghua. But Wei Shaolin's grades weren't good enough for Tsinghua. He was afraid that if Miao Qingran got in, she would look down on him and break up with him, so during the English exam of the college entrance examination, he slipped laxatives into her water. That caused her to mess up the exam, and she ultimately only got into an ordinary prestigious university.]
