Huo Zi looked at the guests blankly, then tugged at Lin Qin sitting next to her. "Um... hello, what happened? What's wrong with my husband, no, what happened to A-Lin?"
Lin Qin gave Huo Zi a sympathetic look. "See for yourself."
This Xiao Lin is absolutely filthy. Lanlan and that Huo Zi are so pitiful.
Huo Zi bit her lip hard, hesitated for a moment, then took the phone with trembling hands and started scrolling through it, her face growing increasingly pale.
Snap--
Tears dripped onto the phone screen.
Huo Zi sniffed, wiped away her tears, frantically wiped the phone screen on her clothes, and held the phone up to Xiao Lin: "This... are all the photos on this screen real? You... you like men? And... you solicited prostitutes?"
Ji Nanshu: "You're being too mild. He'll do it with either men or women, he just likes being on the bottom. He's not only cheated on me multiple times, but he's also a prostitute."
Xiao Lin roared, "Shut up!!"
Ji Nanshu shrugged indifferently and shut up to watch the show.
In fact, Ji Nanshu was being quite tactful. The sheer scale of the post was an eye-opener for him, featuring things like SM, group sex, and group parties—far exceeding even that of, oh right, He Jingyi!
Xiao Lin snatched the phone from Huo Zi's hand, quickly scrolled through it, and after reading it, he said in a trembling voice, "It's all fake! Fake!! You believe this but not me?! This must be photoshopped to frame me!"
Li Lan looked at Xiao Lin was still trying to argue, and sneered, "What are you that makes you so deserving of such a huge effort to be taken down?!"
" A-Lan, believe me! These photos are all fake!" Xiao Lin is still trying to deceive Li Lan, showing no remorse whatsoever.
"Hahahaha... You're still lying to me! Do you think someone could Photoshop a birthmark onto your face too?"
Huo Zi laughed loudly, but her voice sounded utterly desolate.
" Xiao Lin! You're finished! We're getting a divorce!!" She then slapped Xiao Lin across the face, causing both cheeks to swell up symmetrically.
Ji Nanshu clapped his hands. "Beautiful!"
Other guests:... Nanshu, you really love making things worse!
Ji Nanshu: Absolutely!
Li Lan's gaze was icy. " Xiao Lin, you can wait for the court summons."
Xiao Lin grabbed Li Lan: "No, A-Lan, you have to believe me, I didn't do any of these things!"
"You disgust me!" Li Lan said, and went straight back to her room upstairs.
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Lan leave. When he saw that Huo Zi was still there, he quickly grabbed Huo Zi again, like a drowning person grabbing the only straw.
But he never imagined that this was not a lifeline, but the straw that broke the camel's back.
"Zizi, believe me, I didn't do any of those things in the photos..."
Huo Zi closed her eyes. "Go back and we'll get a divorce. You don't deserve to be my husband! Nor do you deserve to be the father of my baby."
After saying that, Huo Zi also left the living room.
The previously blank comment section suddenly became lively.
[Holy crap, this Xiao Lin is awesome! He's way more adept at this than that guy surnamed He! He's only good at 1v1 duels, but this guy'll do anything! I really want to ask him if he's doing well with his backdoors.]
[Aaaaaah, my eyes are dirty! Help! How can there be such a scumbag man!]
[Damn! Another reason to stay single forever. Can't these guys have some self-respect?]
Poor Lanlan, she thought she'd found true love, but it turns out she's a total scumbag!
[That girl named Huo Zi is so pitiful. Wait, they have a baby too, right? Holy crap, the baby is the most pitiful one, having such a father. If I had a father like that, I'd never be able to hold my head up high again.]
[If all else fails, he could go to neighboring Japan and become a gay porn actor. He's got a pretty good physique and looks.]
[Great idea! I'm studying in Japan, and if I go there, I'll definitely buy a ticket to support his cause!]
[Upstairs, are you stealing bamboo shoots?!]
[Polite: Are you Xiao Lin?]
After the show was over, Director Yang calmly stood up from the side and signaled to the cameraman and assistant director to temporarily cut off the live broadcast.
Director Yang: "Mr. Xiao, perhaps we need to have a talk?"
Xiao Lin clenched his fist, then listlessly grunted after a long while before following Director Yang of the villa.
Wu Yan asked hesitantly, "Then... washing the dishes?"
"Oh right, go wash the dishes!"
After washing the dishes, the guests, seeing that Director Yang hadn't returned yet, turned around and slipped back to their rooms.
What do you call this?! This is called taking paid time off to slack off!
Second floor, Li Lan's room.
Huo Zi, hands on hips. "Hehehe, Lanlan, my acting wasn't bad, was it!"
"Great! How about entering the entertainment industry? I'll help you achieve your dream!" Li Lan praised without reservation.
Huo Zi waved her hand. "No thanks, I'm better off being a couch potato! Look! I'll be single soon after I go back! And I'll have a kid! His dad's no good, but my kid's great! My family isn't exactly super rich, but I still make a couple hundred thousand a month from rent."
"I'd be so happy just lazing around like a couch potato! When my kid grows up, I can take him on trips whenever I want, and maybe even date someone when I'm bored. Wouldn't that be great? Why go through all that trouble in the entertainment industry?! Do you think I don't know how chaotic this place is?!"
"Hehe, I can even bring your godson to visit you sometime! Isn't that much better than chasing your dream in the entertainment industry!"
After listening, Li Lan remained silent for a long while, then said softly, "What you said makes me want to retire from the industry. My contract still has three years left... It's kind of tempting..."
Huo Zi lay down on the bed. "You can think about it after this is over. Anyway, your acting skills are there, and you've earned quite a bit over the years. Even if you don't work this hard, you have enough money to last you a lifetime."
"From now on, I'll travel around. If someone offers me an acting role, I'll take it if I like the script or the character; otherwise, I won't. Anyway, I have enough money."
Li Lan was deeply moved. "I think you're right!"
late at night.
Bai Nanyu tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, when suddenly his phone beeped with a text message. He opened it and was shocked to find nude photos of himself!
The note at the end reads: Come to the wooden cabin in the backyard of the villa.
Bai Nanyu sat bolt upright. He Jingyi!! It must be He Jingyi!!
He hurriedly threw on some clothes, opened the door, and tiptoed downstairs to the backyard.
As soon as I pushed open the door in the darkness, a hand pulled me inside.
" Xiaoyu, it's been a long time."
It's He Li, or rather, He Jingyi after plastic surgery.
He pulled Bai Nanyu inside and began to grope her.
Bai Nanyu asked in a trembling voice, "Jing... Brother Jingyi?"
"Yes, do you miss me? I miss you terribly..."
