Chapter 349: Chapter 347: Let Me Teach You How to Recognize a Bitch ~
Pei Huai didn’t hesitate at all, he didn’t even say a word of refusal.
He picked up the materials and crouched on the ground to start making fire with sticks.
Almost instantly, the live broadcast’s barrage comments erupted.
[Pei Huai delays retirement for 10,000 years: Ha! Mr. Pei! You’re such a softy! Just spoil him!]
[Yanyan is my wife: Oh my god, the CP I ship must be real! If this isn’t love~]
[AWCAR Zeze: The person above, how can you send voice messages?!]
[Xia Qingyu: Yanyan, you really are... not even pretending at all, where did that fierce, all-conquering attitude from just now go?]
...
Sun Qian saw the screen filled with pink bubbles and her eyebrows nearly twisted into a knot.
She really didn’t know why Pei Huai had to agree to Xia Wenyan, letting him get so close.
He was already well-known and established, he didn’t need this kind of attention.
Every time Sun Qian thought of Xia Wenyan’s recent scandals, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth.
This kind of attention did Pei Huai no good, on the contrary, because of the excessive binding with Xia Wenyan, he might not be able to take on many scripts.
Male actors are different from female actors.
Female actors have a short prime, basically after their best period, there aren’t many suitable scripts left, and if they want to act, they can only play mother roles.
But male actors have a much longer prime, whether young or old, there are suitable roles for them.
Many older, seasoned actors can occasionally become popular again because of their roles.
Pei Huai became famous when he was young, and in his mid-life, he has already won the award for best actor and has many achievements.
He nearly lacks nothing.
That’s why she felt Xia Wenyan was dragging Pei Huai down!
And he still had the nerve to say he was Pei Huai’s friend, huh!
Such a servant ghost of a friend!
Although Sun Qian was dissatisfied, her body involuntarily continued to follow the live broadcast.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Xia Wenjin seemed to be pricked by a splinter and immediately started screaming, holding her hand to the side.
The other people became even more chaotic.
There were those providing first aid, comforting, covering their eyes, and bandaging.
Xia Wenyan sat on a nearby earthen mound, with his legs crossed and leaning on a wooden stake, and muttered to Pei Huai, "Brother Pei, look over there, what a commotion, you’d think they were amputating."
Pei Huai didn’t respond but let out a light chuckle, his hands moving more deftly with the fire-making tool.
Soon, he had the fire lit.
The people opposite, however, were not happy.
"Xia Wenyan, what do you mean? Jin gets injured, and it’s fine if you don’t care, but to actually take pleasure in her misfortune?"
"Exactly! We’re not asking you to do anything, but please be kind!"
"Didn’t you see Jin is injured, will you still stir trouble at this time?"
"Poor Jin to have a breadwinning brother like you!"
...
Xia Wenyan’s eyebrows quirked, originally, he didn’t plan to continue clashing with them, but they were relentless!
He glanced at them coldly. "Do you dare to show her hand to the camera properly? Do you believe if you hadn’t made such a big fuss about it, her wound would have already healed?"
"Really feel sorry for her? Don’t just show sympathy with words; take action, use your appearance fees to support her!"
"Aren’t you all so kind? Kind people should do kind deeds! Don’t be stingy in offering your love, there are so many people out there who can’t even afford a meal, just waiting for your donations!"
"I, as a brother who supports his family, certainly can’t afford someone like her. If you fancy her, you take care of her. How about we do a live broadcast for everyone to witness?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
The people present hadn’t expected Xia Wenyan to turn their own words against them one by one, leaving them gawping at each other, at a loss for words.
Seeing this, Xia Wenjin clenched her fists and then, with watery eyes, looked at Xia Wenyan and said, "Fourth brother, if you’re angry, just direct it at me—they’re all innocent..."
Her stuttering and aggrieved appearance made the people standing next to her feel a bit ashamed.
They had joined the reality show solely to get attention, but Xia Wenjin was actually defending them.
This gave them a slight emotional stir.
Xia Wenyan scoffed, "Are you blind? With such big eye sockets? From the beginning to the end, the only person I’ve targeted is you. If they hadn’t spoken for you, how could they be faulted?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Those who had just been emotionally affected were instantly put out again.
Even Xia Wenjin was caught off guard by Xia Wenyan’s comment.
She came on the show explicitly to create buzz by fighting to the death with Xia Wenyan.
The more Xia Wenyan bullied her, the more he aroused the protective instinct of the bystanders.
But after a string of Xia Wenyan’s manipulative moves, those who supported her were ridiculed.
Although she didn’t know what the online comments were, she could guess they weren’t good based on the reactions of the few beside her.
Xia Wenyan, known for his straightforwardness, had lots of fans because of his image, and it even saved him from cyberbullying.
But she wasn’t so lucky.
Seeing that Xia Wenyan was impervious to persuasion, Xia Wenjin had no choice but to find a breakthrough with Pei Huai.
She sniffed and, giving a pitiable look, said to Xia Wenyan, "Fourth brother, I know you don’t like me, but we’re a team. Can you let Brother Pei share the fire he’s started with us? I can handle it, but there are other girls here..."
Xia Wenjin said this and then shifted her gaze toward Pei Huai.
Pei Huai gave Xia Wenjin a look, was about to speak, but Xia Wenyan’s mocking voice rang out, "You know I don’t like you, yet you still call me fourth brother just to disgust me? You’re well aware of how you returned to the Lu Family; do I really need to spell it out here?"
Xia Wenjin’s heart tightened, feeling a bit guilty, but she didn’t believe Xia Wenyan had evidence.
After all, she’d been biting at the Xia Family for so long; if they really had some trump card, wouldn’t they have played it a long time ago?
With this in mind, Xia Wenjin was no longer afraid.
Xia Wenyan’s mere words couldn’t talk her to death, right?
She took a deep breath and, with a pitiable look again, fixed her eyes on Pei Huai, "Brother Pei, you wouldn’t just stand by and watch us struggle without fire, would you? They’re all girls, in such cold weather without fire, they’ll certainly freeze..."
Pei Huai ignored Xia Wenjin, instead, he turned his head to look at Xia Wenyan, seemingly waiting for his next instruction.
"Brother Pei," Xia Wenyan suddenly stood up from the wooden stump.
He raised his arm to put it around Pei Huai’s shoulder, raising an eyebrow and looking at him with attractive, peach-shaped eyes, word by word, he said, "Let’s take this rare opportunity for me to teach you how to spot a schemer~"
