Chapter 636: Choose One (1)
Xia Xiyan initially thought the director was just speaking casually.Director Qing Hong was a top-tier producer. How could he possibly kneel down before her for real?
But his attitude, well, was indeed sincere.
Besides, she really did need to return to the show and reclaim the championship in the end.
Otherwise, how would she ever find Mr. Ling’s whereabouts...
As Xiyan was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a thud. Director Qing Hong had actually dropped to his knees and was hugging her leg tightly. "Summer, I beg you."
Whoa.
Xiyan quickly stepped back. Although she had been unfairly eliminated due to those shady tactics, she never intended for Director Qing Hong to kneel before her.
"Please stand up first," Xiyan said.
"Does that mean you agree?" Director Qing Hong’s face was filled with pleading.
The sight of the show’s director in this pitiful state pierced deeply into Qiao Qianmo’s soul.
She simply couldn’t believe it!
She couldn’t believe the program’s director would actually lower himself so much to beg a contestant.
Watching the scene unfold from a distance, Qianmo clenched her fists tightly, her breathing quickened with rage.
Why should someone like Xia Xiyan deserve to be kneeled before?
Has the director gone mad!!
Seeing this, Susan was equally furious.
Originally, she had planned to use her "love story" with Mr. Ling in the first episode to build a solid foundation in the audience’s hearts. That way, she could firmly establish herself within the Ou Family.
But to her surprise, after the first episode aired, the internet was flooded with criticism about the show’s shady practices.
One by one, people were praising Summer’s acting skills as if she were a goddess.
Qiao Qianmo’s performance and Susan’s "love story" had ended up as mere side acts?!
Susan dragged Qiao Qianmo forward and sneered sarcastically, "Oh my, Xia Xiyan is really putting on airs. Weren’t you the one back then riding the wave of controversy and being hated by the entire internet? Director, do you even have a stance here? What are you trying to pull now? Explain this to us! How can someone who’s been eliminated possibly return to the program!"
These two annoying pests just show up everywhere.
Xiyan frowned at Susan and Qiao Qianmo, the brief satisfaction she’d felt moments ago was suddenly overshadowed by stormy clouds.
Director Qing Hong stood up, adjusted his glasses, and said, "This is simple. The show will continue as planned, but when we reach Episode 6, there will be a special revival segment. Contestants eliminated during the first six episodes will compete, and one person will earn the chance to return. So..."
Director Qing Hong cast a pleading look at Xiyan.
"Ha, this revival round isn’t specially arranged for Summer, is it? Then what’s the point of having Xiyan back while completely disregarding Momo!" Susan pressed aggressively, "If Summer returns, Momo will immediately stop recording the show. Weigh your options carefully and decide yourselves!"
This was blatantly an outright threat.
Grandma Ou couldn’t hold back her indignation any longer. "Miss Susan, whether little Xia Xiyan returns to the show or not, what direct connection does that have with Momo? I truly don’t understand what you’re getting so worked up over!"
This Susan, even at her age, kept targeting little Xia Xiyan over trivial matters that had happened in the past.
Ugh, her fiery temper—it’s only because of that "Eternal Love" ring on her finger, gifted by Mr. Ling, that Grandma Ou refrained from giving this arrogant and petty old woman a good talking-to.
"Worked up? Me, worked up?!!" Susan pointed to herself, "Old woman, all you see is Xia Xiyan. Do you have any idea how much Momo has suffered because of this? And you just act oblivious, don’t you? If the Ou Family doesn’t care about her, I do! She’s my bone marrow donor; I care!"
