Chapter 246: Chapter 246 Qiao Yahan Drinks Foot-Washing Water
She tossed aside the Task Card, and Meng Jin picked it up with a gloomy face, “Is the production team doing this on purpose? Giving all the privileges to them and then handing us the unlucky card? We don’t even get screen time, and now we have to do the chores?”
Chen Jiaxuan sighed silently, not saying a word.
Qiao Yahan clenched her fists until they creaked, “What do you mean ‘us’? I’m not necessarily in the same group as you!”
After speaking, she strutted out of the room in her clattering high heels, trying hard to regain her smile as she headed towards Ye Xian’s room.
The day before yesterday, she had already made a call to her father. Even if Ye Xian hadn’t been kicked out of the production team, he must have been warned not to disrespect her anymore.
She would be the bigger person and overlook his petty behavior, giving him one more chance.
Even if they weren’t stirring up a romance for the camera, she still needed to stick with them to get the most screen time.
After all, Lychee TV belonged to them, and Lychee TV was her family’s. How could she let outsiders steal the spotlight!
There came a knock on the door, and Ye Xian was eating a banana.
The knocking sounded again, and Cary looked uncertainly at Ye Xian, who seemed indifferent, “Go open the door.”
Ye Xian, having learned his lesson, asked from within, “Who is it?”
At the sound of Qiao Yahan’s voice, Ye Xian nearly choked on his banana.
Dammit, it’s broad daylight, and we’re live on air. What’s she knocking for?
Cary: “What’s wrong?”
Ye Xian swallowed the last bit of his banana and flung the peel towards the trash bin by the door. Unfortunately, he missed, and the peel landed on the floor.
No one inside responded. Qiao Yahan was sure Ye Xian was deliberately ignoring her. She pushed open the door and headed straight inside.
Just as Ye Xian was about to pick up the banana peel, Qiao Yahan pushed the door open and, to his misfortune, stepped right on it.
Her foot slid, and she lurched forward, heading straight for Cary.
Cary, startled, fortunately had quick reflexes and agilely leapt onto the bed with a press of his hand.
Ye Xian watched with wide eyes as Qiao Yahan plunged face-first into Cary’s footbath, her shocked exclamation of “Aaah…” turning into bubbly underwater burbles of “blub blub blub…”
Water splashed in all directions.
And this whole scene was coincidentally captured on the live broadcast.
As Cary and Ye Xian exchanged looks, Qiao Yahan climbed up from the floor, her hair, face, and chest all drenched.
Tasting the footbath water, humiliated on live TV in front of millions of viewers, she flailed in distress, a scream tearing from her throat. Her artificial face twisted and warped, turning her into a vengeful ghost with eyes blazing with fury.
Ye Xian, holding a banana peel, looked innocent and took two steps back, “Well, it wasn’t my fault. You came in without permission.”
Seeing Qiao Yahan on the verge of going mad, Cary quickly cautioned her, “Live broadcast, live broadcast. Mind your image~”
Qiao Yahan threw the footbath in a fit of rage, and the director quickly panned the camera away.
Creating conflicts and highlight moments in the show was one thing, but a real commotion was not okay.
Just as the director thought Qiao Yahan was going to cause a scene in the match house, she tremblingly took out her phone and ran out.
Ye Xian: “…Where’s she going?”
Cary: “Probably to complain to her daddy.”
