Chapter 66: Chapter 066: Qi Si Is Very Cold-blooded Chapter 66: Chapter 066: Qi Si Is Very Cold-blooded Country S.
Qi Si had just finished his call with Shen Yan when another cell phone rang.
Upon seeing the string of numbers, he paused for a moment, then answered the call with indifference.
The slightly deep voice of a man came through, “Qi Si, are you aware of the plot against Yanyan?”
“I am.”
“Is this how you’re handling it?” the other party asked, somewhat accusatory.
“What did you want me to do, kill them?”
“Can’t let them off so easily, they only lost their star career. I thought based on your style of doing things, you wouldn’t just let it go.”
“Young Master Shen can take care of it himself.”
The handsome face on the other end of the line darkened, “Yanyan is about to become your wife.”
Isn’t that your responsibility as well?
“That’s her choice,” Qi Si’s tone was so cold it lacked any trace of human emotion.
Shen Zheng on the other end massaged his brow, “You know full well she’s had a fallout with her family. The Shen Family made it clear to her face that they won’t help her, no matter what kind of grievances she suffers.”
“That’s your business.”
Shen Zheng frowned, “What do you plan to do about Mu Jincheng?”
Qi Si: “Let her be.”
Shen Zheng knew how heartless Qi Si was; he simply didn’t care about the affairs of Shen Yan.
As long as it didn’t involve his interests, whatever Shen Yan did, he could not care less.
From the beginning, he had strongly opposed the idea—Qi Si, a man so devoid of affection, was not the ideal choice.
But the elders of both families had long made an agreement…
Moreover, the two families were truly united in marriage.
“Enough,” Shen Zheng was also suffering from a headache over Shen Yan’s matter.
Qi Si ended the call abruptly.

The next morning, the new substitute guests had already arrived.
Dai Molin and Li Xu greeted everyone, introduced themselves, and then started the survival task!
This time, Director Li dared not play around in the water.
It was safer on land.
As soon as Dai Molin appeared, she behaved very close to Shen Yan, which caused Chu Jinghe to cast a sidelong glance.
Dai Molin was beautiful, with a bit of a mature charm.
Even Li Xu showed friendliness toward Shen Yan:
“Yanyan, may I call you that? It’s my first time on a survival show with Li Xu, please give us your guidance!”
“Of course! The survival tasks are simple, Teacher Dai, don’t worry,” Shen Yan smiled elegantly and refinedly in front of the camera.
Dai Molin’s eyes gleamed, “Yanyan, you are really beautiful. I’ve wanted to compliment you last time! Finally, I have the chance!”
Shen Yan smiled, “Thank you! Teacher Dai is very beautiful too!”
“Stop calling me Teacher Dai, we are making it sound like a generational difference. I’m just two or three years older than you; just call me Sister Lin.”
“Sure!”
Shen Yan was amenable.
“Sister Molin!” Chu Jinghe joined in as they chatted happily together and followed up with a comment.
Dai Molin smiled and assessed Chu Jinghe for a moment, “If I remember correctly, Chu Jinghe, you’re one year older than me, aren’t you?”
The smile on Chu Jinghe’s face stiffened momentarily.
Shen Yan glanced at Chu Jinghe.
Qin Dingyue joined the conversation, “Yeah, Jinghe Sister, you are also a year older than me!”
The smile at the corner of Chu Jinghe’s mouth was starting to falter.
What women care most about is their age, and these two directly revealing her age was embarrassing her, wasn’t it?
Chu Jinghe forced a smile and discreetly glanced at Shen Yan, her eyes flashing with a hint of coldness.
Shen Yan used this way of forming cliques to undermine her. Isn’t it fun?
Shen Yan almost laughed out loud at Chu Jinghe’s reaction.
Among all the female guests, Chu Jinghe was the oldest.
Which made Chu Jinghe feel a bit uncomfortable.
The male guests watched the chattering group of female guests with a sense of helplessness, exchanging glances.
It was only after Director Li reminded them that it was time to set off that everyone found their own partners and resumed the wild food foraging survival activity.
Wen Yan didn’t reject Shen Yan like he did during the first episode, because the scene underwater made him feel that he and Shen Yan were now on the same side, and they had grown considerably closer to each other.
Avoiding the cameras, Wen Yan leaned in and asked her quietly, “Was the incident with Tao Rongye your doing?”
Shen Yan glanced at him.
Wen Yan added, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. But you have to do something for me.”
Shen Yan looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
“I want to invite you to be my concert guest singer! I’m holding a concert outside of the province in two days. I know you play the piano well, and the folk song you sang has a nice tune, so I was thinking…”
“Okay, but this folk song isn’t suitable for a concert,” Shen Yan agreed readily.
Wen Yan’s eyes widened in surprise, “You’re really willing!”
“Being your concert guest is beneficial to me, isn’t it? Why would I refuse?”
She might even get on the trending search list again because of this!
Shen Yan gave Wen Yan a look. He wasn’t really asking her to do something for him; he was helping her out, wasn’t he?
“I’ll talk to my agent about it later but don’t back out.”
“I won’t back out. But I’m not too good with the five tones. Are you sure you want me as your guest singer?”
“You don’t have to sing; you can just play a few pieces on stage for me!” Wen Yan had researched Shen Yan’s recent popularity data. Inviting her to be a resident singer definitely wouldn’t lose him anything.
Shen Yan thought, since she had already agreed, she would prepare well.
“I will try to learn to sing a few songs in these two days, but I can’t guarantee the quality.”
“If you need anything, you can ask me!”
“Let’s discuss it later,” Shen Yan was inexplicably unfamiliar with singing and still needed to seek advice from Wen Yan, the king of songs.
Wen Yan nodded, then focused on completing the task.
Not surprisingly, Shen Yan and Wen Yan’s team won again.
Today, Chu Jinghe was somewhat in a difficult spot, and Mu Jincheng wasn’t any better off.
Upon closer inspection, they both had been stung by bees!
Mu Jincheng’s neck and hands were stung and sought a doctor’s treatment as soon as he returned.
Chu Jinghe’s cheek was stung, as well as her forehead, and she had two more stings on her body.
She couldn’t stop her tears from the pain.
Chu Jinghe’s fans were distressed and went to the program’s official blog to scold the production team; it was one thing after another—were they making a show or harming people?
Director Li didn’t dare to take it lightly and promptly had the standby doctors treat both of them.
Some bee stings could be very poisonous, and one must be careful or it could be fatal.
In just half an hour, Chu Jinghe’s face swelled up, not only hurting but also feeling chills all over.
She lay in the tent tossing and turning, and Mu Jincheng didn’t come to see her once. Through the tents, she could still hear Mu Jincheng’s voice talking with everyone.
Chu Jinghe felt aggrieved and her eyes reddened again.
Outside.
Mu Jincheng, enduring the pain on his body, forced himself to sit among all the guests.
Li Xu and the others expressed their concern, while only Shen Yan was huddled closely with Wen Yan, whispering about something unknown.
The harmonious atmosphere between the two made Mu Jincheng frown repeatedly, even getting a bit irritable about Shen Yan being close to another man.
Didn’t she say she liked him?
What was going on now?
Had she shifted her target to Wen Yan? So Shen Yan’s taste was just like that, favoring useless pretty boys.
Mu Jincheng watched for a long while; Shen Yan hadn’t looked his way, and he didn’t know what came over him when he suddenly said in a sarcastic tone to Shen Yan and Wen Yan, “You two seem so close. What are you discussing? Share with everyone, so we can all hear!”
Suddenly, all eyes turned towards them.
Shen Yan turned her head, looking somewhat puzzled at Mu Jincheng.
