Suddenly hearing the name "Yue Qingqing," Zhang Caidie’s mind buzzed.
Then, her mind started to swirl with various thoughts.
Why did this person suddenly mention her?
Do the two have any connection?
Was it Yue Qingqing who found someone to bring her here?
Zhang Caidie didn’t dare to speak rashly, she just nodded, "I know her."
"How is your relationship?"
Zhang Caidie didn’t know how to answer and could only muster a neutral response.
"Not very close, often saw her in the village before."
"Do you know she’s adopted?"
This time, Zhang Caidie suddenly raised her head and stared at the old lady.
She seemed to want to probe for something.
However, the person opposite her met her gaze indifferently. Despite her face being covered in wrinkles, Zhang Caidie found herself backing down and lowering her head again.
"Maybe, I don’t quite remember."
Zhang Caidie bit her lower lip, deciding to take a gamble, "I’ve heard."
The person opposite suddenly laughed, but the laughter was a bit coarse, making it unpleasant to the ear.
"Recently, you and Yue Qingqing are going to appear on the same program, and I want you to reveal this matter during the show."
Zhang Caidie was very puzzled, "Why? Who... who are you?"
Perhaps thinking Zhang Caidie was just a small fry who couldn’t stir up anything significant, the other person spoke the truth without any concealment.
"My name is Ding Xiulan. I should be Yue Qingqing’s grandmother."
Zhang Caidie was so shocked she almost bit her tongue.
Zhang Caidie had learned long ago from He Zhenzhen that Yue Qingqing was adopted.
He Zhenzhen cursed Lin Chunju as a husband-destroying widow and Zhang Ying as a hen that couldn’t lay eggs.
She also cursed Yue Qingqing as a wild child picked up from the streets.
Those words were as nasty as they come.
Zhang Caidie agreed wholeheartedly in her heart, cursing the wild child numerous times internally.
She wondered which shameless woman had an illicit affair and gave birth to such a child, only to be dumped and picked up by Yue Jiandong and his wife.
And they even raised her like a treasure, which was ridiculous.
But this imposing old lady was actually telling Zhang Caidie that she was Yue Qingqing’s grandmother?
Glancing at the office furnishings out of the corner of her eye and recalling her agent’s cautious warnings before setting off, Zhang Caidie felt as if all her perceptions were overturned.
But why would such a person want her to expose this matter on the show?
Zhang Caidie couldn’t figure it out.
Ding Xiulan frowned, discontent with the woman asking so many questions in front of her.
Yet she was worried she would mess things up.
"I want her to recognize her roots."
For a moment, Zhang Caidie didn’t know what to say, feeling even more hatred towards Yue Qingqing.
While she struggled to hide her origin, Yue Qingqing’s original family was so prosperous.
And she didn’t even appreciate it, making her grandmother come up with such a plan.
The more Zhang Caidie envied Yue Qingqing, the more she dared not reveal a trace of it in front of this old woman.
But Ding Xiulan, being experienced, had long seen through her thoughts.
She couldn’t be bothered to point it out.
After all, she just needed a tool.
"When the time comes on the show..."
Ding Xiulan prepared a set of remarks for Zhang Caidie, which left Zhang Caidie more and more alarmed as she listened.
If these words were spoken, even if Yue Qingqing didn’t acknowledge her roots, it would be impossible.
This old lady seemed kind-hearted, but who would have thought...
If the show airs, the Yue Family would be in dire trouble—
But Zhang Caidie couldn’t care less about the Yue Family’s fate; she’d be thrilled for that group to suffer as much misfortune as possible.
It’s just a pity that Yue Qingqing might return to her original family and rise to prominence.
Suppressing her jealousy, Zhang Caidie pretended to hesitate and brought it up.
"But my agent has received news that I probably won’t make it to the next episode and will be replaced by the TV station."
