Chapter 22 Even hitting someone has its timing
“These are all eyewitnesses… If you strangle me… you’ll go to jail… and my mom will throw Wang Ying’s ashes in the trash…”
Unfortunately, no matter how much she yelled, the hand on her neck didn't loosen its grip; in fact, it tightened its hold even more.
"Ugh..." Cheng Baoni opened her mouth wide, gasping for breath, her cheeks flushed, her eyes turning to Hao Jian, and she managed to squeeze out two words, "Help...me..."
The moment Cheng Ai made her move, the surrounding guests, the backstage crew, Ye Jingke, and the viewers in the live broadcast room were all stunned, but they only paused for a moment before quickly reacting.
[Oh my god, is this a script? Jian-gege, what are you doing? Quickly help Bao-ni-jie!]
Has Cheng Xiaosan really gone mad by killing someone in front of hundreds of thousands of netizens?
【My dear Nini, you knew she was sick and you still deliberately provoked her. Isn't that self-harm?】
[Screen recording completed; considering reporting to the police!]
Wait a minute! Don't you guys think what Cheng Baoni said is weird? Wang Ying seems to be Cheng Ai's mother!
Although dancing while scattering ashes is creepy, what can you do when that little slut tries to steal someone else's boyfriend?
[That's right! If it weren't for Brother Jian's ruthless exposure, she'd probably still be lying in bed waiting to be slept with.]
[Ai Ai hasn't officially responded to the allegations of seducing her brother-in-law yet, so please be mindful of your words.]
[Director, what the hell are you doing? Come out and control the situation! If the live stream gets shut down, this variety show is finished.]
The comments section was buzzing with noise, and Ye Jingke tapped his fingers absently on the table. "Public Relations Department!"
Upon hearing this, the manager stood up nervously and asked respectfully, "President, what are your orders?"
"Keep a close eye on all major news media outlets. If any negative news about Cheng Ai is discovered, remove it immediately." Ye Jingke's expression was calm and his tone was resolute. "In addition, make public the results of Bai Jing's investigation. After the first part of 'Dare' is recorded, I don't want to see Hao Jian and Cheng Baoni again."
"Understood!" The manager, having experienced many big events, quickly regained his composure, picked up his laptop, and left in a flash.
Ye Jingke rubbed his temples, looking exasperated. He waved his hand, signaling everyone to continue the meeting, while he himself looked down at his iPad.
You brat, I knew you'd cause trouble. Luckily, I was prepared.
The scene cuts back to the filming location, where Hao Jian quickly steps forward to try and pull Cheng Ai away, but he doesn't even touch her clothes before he is sent flying and crashes to the ground.
Song Yifei nervously retreated, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Wu Xu took out a talisman from his pocket and stuck it on Cheng Ai's back, but it had no effect whatsoever.
Seeing that Cheng Baoni was about to suffocate and faint, Zhong Zheyi finally couldn't hold back any longer, stood up, grabbed Cheng Ai's wrist, and said coldly, "No matter what deep hatred you have, it's time to stop."
At this moment, the crew members rushed into the rest area and hurriedly separated the two women.
Cheng Baoni slumped into a chair, her chest heaving and her eyes red-rimmed; she was clearly terrified.
Immediately afterwards, she ran breathlessly to Hao Jian's side and helped him up. Then, she pointed at Cheng Ai's nose and shouted at Gong Qian, "My mother spent so much money, not so you could invite this bitch to cause trouble!"
Wow~ Big news! Cheng Baoni got the role by bringing her own investment!
[Self-disclosure, really? But paying to appear on variety shows is normal in the entertainment industry, what's so surprising?]
[Brother Jian is a man, how come he can't even beat a weak woman?]
[Where is she weak? She almost strangled Bonnie to death.]
[Hahaha, laughing so hard he's practically rolling on the floor. Wu Xu even stuck on a talisman; he probably thinks Cheng Biao is some kind of demon or monster.]
Not wanting to miss any opportunity to curry favor with Cheng Baoni, Song Yifei immediately chimed in indignation, "Director, can artists with mental problems record shows? Aren't you afraid of affecting the other guests' performance?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cool breeze swept by. Turning his head, he happened to meet Cheng Ai's cold, emotionless eyes.
She shivered and instinctively shut her mouth, not daring to utter another sound.
But Cheng Baoni was incredibly tactless and continued to nag, "How can you do this? Everyone knows about my relationship with Cheng Ai. Are you deliberately creating a media frenzy?"
She glanced at the people around her, paused for a moment, and then threatened fiercely, "Let me tell you, Gong Qian, this variety show is either her or me, you'd better think it over!"
Gong Qian took a deep breath, inwardly cursing Cheng Baoni for being brainless. Cheng Ai was personally infiltrated by Ye Jingke; how could a mere lackey like her possibly shake her?
He suppressed his anger and patiently explained, "Teacher Cheng, this episode has three men and three women as guests. Removing any one of them will disrupt the overall atmosphere of the show. Please be patient."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Cheng Baoni glared at him and yelled at him arrogantly and unreasonably, "I'm telling you right now, if she doesn't leave, I'll go back and have my mom withdraw her investment. Without money, let's see how you continue filming!"
Her actions angered Gong Qian, and viewers couldn't help but criticize her.
Bonnie, while I really like your straightforward personality, this is going a bit too far.
Honey, calm down. If this keeps up, how will we handle this?
[I've gone from being a fan to a neutral observer. Cheng Baoni was picking a fight from beginning to end. If she hadn't used Wang Ying to provoke Cheng Ai, would Cheng Ai have lost control and grabbed her?]
[Enmity is enmity, grudges are grudges, but please be mindful of boundaries and don't delay the program's progress. Thank you.]
[Hehe, my fairy doesn't need silly fans like you. She just doesn't want to work with that slut who stole her boyfriend, what's wrong with that?]
Cheng Ai, who had been silent all along, suddenly chuckled, "Fool!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Baoni instantly exploded, "Who the hell are you cursing?"
"What do you say?" Cheng Aisi slowly raised his hand and pointed to the camera that was not easily noticed in the corner. "Didn't you read the contract? Our variety show is mainly edited, with live broadcast as a supplement."
Your foolish behavior of disrespecting Song Yifei, threatening the director, and provoking me was clearly seen by netizens!
These words immediately turned the shed into a disaster zone.
A moment later, Cheng Baoni stiffly twisted her neck and gave an awkward smile to the camera, "Hahaha... well... my manager said I don't usually have much presence... so they wanted me to try to create some entertainment value for the show... it might be a bit abrupt... I hope everyone won't mind... hahaha..."
Her acting was so bad it was unwatchable, but no one present called her out on it, except for the audience.
[Listen to this, do you even believe it yourself?]
[Sitting at home, I was suddenly attacked. My heart goes out to Cheng Baoni's manager for a second.]
[So the guests didn't know the director was live-streaming, while Cheng Ai had already found out. How dare she still resort to violence?]
【What? There's a time limit to hitting someone? Who made that rule?】
