#Chen Yi Takes on the Scumbag Head-On#

Director Qian:?!

He glanced at his phone, then looked over at Chen Yi and Jiang Beinian eating breakfast in the dining room, hesitating over whether to tell Chen Yi and let her handle what was happening online.

Chen Yi sipped her millet pumpkin porridge. Ever since earlier, she had sensed that the staff beside her were looking at her strangely. She glanced at Jiang Beinian across from her.

There were faint dark circles beneath Jiang Beinian's eyes. He had no idea how that matter was progressing, and his anxiety had kept him awake.

Sensing Chen Yi's gaze, Jiang Beinian paused mid-breakfast, then casually asked, "Yiyi, what's wrong? Is today's breakfast not to your liking?"

Chen Yi set down her spoon and said, "I suddenly remembered something I need to take care of. Help me bring my phone over. I need to make a call."

Jiang Beinian paused. "What is it?"

"Didn't I say yesterday that I wanted to get Xiyue an audition opportunity? I want to call and ask Director Qian when that movie will start filming, then ask him for an audition slot."

Jiang Beinian sighed in relief. "Yiyi, how could Director Qian's movie start filming that soon? You won't get an answer even if you ask now. Eat breakfast first, then ask later."

"Is that so?" Chen Yi looked at Jiang Beinian. "Why do I feel like you don't want me touching my phone?"

Jiang Beinian's heart leaped into his throat. "I just think that since we're on the show, we should follow the production team's rules. You should wait until the show is over to call Director Qian. There's no rush."

"I see..." Chen Yi smiled. "I thought you wouldn't let me touch my phone because you were afraid I'd find out that you and your agent had slandered me on Weibo, accusing me of cheating."

The living room suddenly fell silent, while the "righteous netizens" in the livestream continued to condemn Chen Yi.

[Chen Yi acts like such a virtuous wife, but she's eating from one bowl while eyeing another. Jiang Beinian is so pitiful, ending up with a wife who cuckolded him.]

[Jiang Beinian has worked diligently all these years to support the family, while Chen Yi does nothing at home except spend money. She even uses Jiang Beinian's money to keep another man. Jiang Beinian really isn't worth this.]

[That bitch Chen Yi is disgusting. Poor Jiang Beinian.]

Jiang Beinian's pupils contracted. "Yiyi, I don't know what you're talking about. What cheating?"

Damn it, how did she find out? Didn't she hand in her phone?

"Yiyi, did you hear some rumors? Those are all lies meant to drive a wedge between us. How could I possibly be that kind of person?" As Jiang Beinian spoke, his gaze drifted toward Chu Xiyue.

Jiang Beinian suspected that Chu Xiyue had told Chen Yi about what was online, because Chu Xiyue was the only guest with a phone.

Chu Xiyue, who was cracking sunflower seeds nearby, clicked her tongue. "Does your relationship even need anyone else to drive a wedge between you?"

The gossip-hungry viewers in the livestream also caught on and asked:

[What did Chu Xiyue mean by that? Could what Chen Yi said just now be true?]

[Does Chu Xiyue know some gossip that we don't?]

Just as the eager gossiping viewers wanted to keep watching, the livestream suddenly went black.

[???]

[What the hell, why did it suddenly cut out? Getting gossip halfway through is like getting halfway through sex only for the scumbag to pull up his pants and leave!]

[Chu Xiyue, don't be ungrateful. Hurry up and share whatever gossip you know!]

It seemed some strange comments had slipped in.

#Chen Yi Takes on the Scumbag Head-On#

The director had cut off the livestream. After witnessing two guest blowups and one unexpected incident, he knew the moment Chu Xiyue opened her mouth that today's matter would not end peacefully.

Although many viewers had flocked over from Weibo for the gossip, after careful consideration, the director ultimately decided to shut down the livestream.

First, if any unbroadcastable violent conflict broke out later, shutting down the livestream would minimize the impact on the show. Second, if nothing unbroadcastable happened, putting this segment into the final episode would be a massive hook.

Gossip was human nature. He could already imagine that once this episode aired, its viewership would definitely be high.

The director had already decided to go all in. Seeing that the dating show was beyond saving, if he had to choose between reputation and viewership, he chose viewership.

Though the livestream had been shut down, the cameras were still rolling.

Meeting Chu Xiyue's bright, sharp gaze, Jiang Beinian felt as though all his secrets had been seen through.

He almost instinctively looked away, not daring to meet Chu Xiyue's eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Li Fan'er and Zhao Xizhou sat in a corner of the living room. On the surface, they appeared to have their heads down, busy with their own things, but in truth, they were secretly straining their ears for gossip.

Li Fan'er had the same question as the livestream viewers. She was simply too curious, so she quietly edged closer and softly asked Chu Xiyue, "Xiyue, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Chu Xiyue thought she was speaking quietly, but in a voice that could actually be heard several meters away, she shared the gossip with Li Fan'er. "Don't be fooled by how decent this man looks. He's actually a mama's boy. He listens to everything his mother says. Whenever there's a conflict between his wife and mother, he always takes his mother's side. And he was flirting with other women online some time ago. Sister Chen Yi caught him red-handed, so she asked him for a divorce. They're actually in the middle of divorce proceedings. How could their relationship need me to drive a wedge between them? Don't you think?"

Li Fan'er:!!!

Li Fan'er looked at Jiang Beinian in shock, then thoughtfully glanced at Zhao Xizhou beside her.

Zhao Xizhou immediately distanced himself from Jiang Beinian, making it clear that he disdained associating with such a scumbag. "A scumbag like that is a disgrace to us men!"

Li Fan'er looked away. Although Zhao Xizhou annoyed her, she had to admit that he was far better than Jiang Beinian.
