Holy crap, this is juicy!

[And here I thought you were decent! Back off, back off, back off!]

An Ruzhi: "?"

Wasn't she just trying to hear some gossip about them?

How was that setting her up?

Before she could figure it out, she heard Su Tangtang say, "No need for introductions. This is our first time meeting, but I know who everyone is."

[Obviously! With a famous movie star and composer here, wouldn't the whole internet drag me if I didn't recognize them?]

[Good thing I didn't fall for it!]

An Ruzhi: "..."

Oh, so that was what this was about!

But girl, you've got me all wrong!

I just wanted some gossip!

But she couldn't tell Su Tangtang that outright, lest she discover that they could all hear her thoughts.

Never mind anything else—the entire room would probably die of embarrassment. How would they keep filming this Dating Reality Show then?

"Heh, heh." She laughed awkwardly a few times and linked arms with Su Tangtang. "Since you know everyone, I'll skip the introductions." They would be filming this Dating Reality Show for three months, anyway. Surely she would get to hear some gossip about them eventually!

Not long after Su Tangtang went over and sat down with her, the director arrived. He looked to be in his thirties, wore black-framed glasses, and was slightly chubby. His smile gave him quite an artsy air. "Welcome to our love house, everyone. This marks the start of our three-month journey of romance."

"Our show will be livestreamed to our viewers throughout filming. Starting now, the production team will assign each of you a camera operator." The moment he finished speaking, the camera operators they had arranged hurried over to them.

"It looked like you hadn't quite finished introducing yourselves earlier, so let's all introduce ourselves now and say hello to our viewers while we're at it."

He looked at Liao Xuliang. "Mr. Liao, would you like to start?"

Before Su Tangtang arrived, the people already there had chatted and gotten acquainted. Everyone had roughly guessed who he was, so they weren't surprised that the director called on him first.

He didn't seem surprised either. Carrying himself like someone accustomed to being in charge, he gestured as he spoke. "Liao Xuliang. I believe I told everyone earlier. If you still don't know who I am, you can look me up on Baidu Baike. I'm the founder of Chuangxing Entertainment Company."

"My family has been putting a lot of pressure on me, so I thought I'd come find a lady boss to take home."

After that, he gave a slight nod toward the camera. "That should do for now."

The director smiled and was just about to respond when Su Tangtang's voice reached them first: [Is that really how it is? Let me look it up. Hehehe~]

๑乛u乛๑

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to her. But given Liao Xuliang's status-and the fact that he was apparently a sponsor of this show-they didn't dare make it too obvious. They merely pricked up their ears discreetly.

As for Liao Xuliang himself, his instinct upon hearing Su Tangtang's thoughts was to say something to her. But that was when he discovered that he couldn't say anything about their ability to hear her thoughts.

The words lodged right in his throat. No matter how hard he tried, it was no use. He simply couldn't get them out.

And during that brief delay, Su Tangtang's thoughts rang out again: [Holy crap, this is juicy!]

[His dad's latest mistress is his ex-ex-ex-girlfriend! When they first ran into each other at his house, they screwed behind his dad's back!]

Everyone: "!!!"

Holy crap, that really is juicy!!!

What happened next? How did it turn out? Did his dad catch them?!

[After that, they went looking for thrills and did it in his dad's room, on his bed, in the bathroom, on the sink, in the study, in the office, and more!]

[But how could they keep sneaking around without getting caught, especially with how often they were doing it? His dad finally walked in on them one day. He was so furious that he slapped him twice and froze all his credit cards. Later, he couldn't even stand the sight of him, so he dumped him on this Dating Reality Show his own family was sponsoring and left him to fend for himself!]

[How did he even have the nerve to say his family was pressuring him to bring home a lady boss? Pah!]

Everyone else also thought: Pah!

But they didn't dare let it show too clearly, pretending they hadn't heard a thing. Seeing Liao Xuliang's face grow increasingly dark, the director hurriedly changed the subject. "Sinian, your turn?"

After all, they'd heard the whole scandal. It was time to get back to the program.

Chen Sinian sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, his cool, aloof bearing setting him apart from everyone else. Although status mattered greatly in the industry, he still had the manners of a gentleman. "Let's have our ladies go first."

At that, the director gave Liao Xuliang another awkward glance. That guy hadn't shown any ladies-first courtesy just now. Wasn't Chen Sinian making him look bad?

Still, knowing Chen Sinian had powerful backing too, the director figured that if he dared to be so blunt, he wasn't afraid of the Liao family. He agreed, "That works."

He then turned his gaze toward the four women present.

Su Tangtang was still immersed in her own world of gossip. As an obscure, bottom-tier celebrity, she was certain she wouldn't be the first to go.

So after finishing Liao Xuliang's scandal, she went straight to looking up information on the director.

[What was his name again?]

[He... He Pijiu?]

ﾚ(ﾟ∀ﾟ;)ﾍ

[Now that's something!]

[He looks so refined and cultured in those glasses. Who would've thought his family would give him such a wild name? Sounds like "drink beer." What naming geniuses!]

[So just how much can he drink?]

The director: "..."

What the hell does my drinking capacity have to do with you?

Like the guests, he could hear Su Tangtang's thoughts. When he'd first heard them, he'd even gone to ask the assistant directors. They could all hear her, but some of the crew apparently couldn't.

It seemed the ability was limited to people in the industry.

Seeing that none of the guests had alerted Su Tangtang, he'd kept quiet too. After all, who didn't enjoy some gossip?

Only now, when the gossip turned to him, did he realize how uncomfortable it was. Seeing everyone's lips twitch, he hurriedly coughed and prompted the women to introduce themselves again.

But just then, Su Tangtang's cry suddenly rang out: [Wow!!!] Everyone's attention immediately shifted to her.

What? What?

Was there gossip about the director?

At her cry, even An Ruzhi, who had been about to respond to the director, instantly shut her mouth and looked toward her.

"Su Tangtang, why don't you introduce yourself first?" But the director spoke before anyone else could. He pushed up his glasses, a shrewd smile on his face.

It was as if he were saying: Want to dig up dirt on me? Not a chance!

[Shocking! This director actually slept with his wife's younger sister!]

The director: "???"

Why aren't you introducing yourself?

Does the name He Pijiu not command enough respect?

Everyone else present: "!!!"

Holy shit, this one's juicy too!

Tell us more, tell us more! We love hearing this!
