Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Wuhu, The Show Begins
Wen Jiangxue left high-spirited, whereas Shen Zhiyi’s departure included Dai Qin, Fu Wanxue, and Bei Ning.
Bei Ning asked to leave the show herself. She was afraid that if she stayed, Gong Dongxi would make her continue to harm Shen Zhiyi. This anxious and uneasy emotion almost drove her to depression.
Fu Wanxue decided to leave after she heard that Wen Jiangxue was leaving the show.
She had intended to irritate that woman, but who would have thought that woman would appear so aloof, not taking Fu Wanxue’s provocations to heart, even retorting back.
Fu Wanxue coldly sneered to herself, thinking that after leaving the show, she would find time to visit the Ji Family.
Fu Wanxue rode the car she came in, her assistant holding an umbrella for her, while Dai Qin also had a luxury car and seeing Bei Ning, a young girl, invited her aboard, offering to take her home.
Bei Ning was tearfully grateful. The Beijia hadn’t sent anyone to pick her up, but she was content just to be leaving.
A low-key black Pagani parked on the muddy road, Wen Jiangxue waved her hand, “Just drop me off here, I’ll head off first.”
He Chenxi watched the rowdy license plate with a “8,” only denoting an out-of-town letter for the Central Continent A, indicating her wealthy patron wasn’t from the Capital City but from the Central Continent.
Ji Tian’s eyes flickered with bewilderment…
This car, it seemed familiar…
So she stretched her neck to look, but from outside the window, she couldn’t see inside. The moment Wen Jiangxue opened the car door, all Ji Tian could see was the black trouser leg of a man inside.
Extremely mysterious, as if the person was not to be seen by others.

She lost interest too, and after the car drove off, she checked the time, yawned, and decided to take a nap to refresh herself.
[That’s it? Where’s the wealthy patron? Not even a driver showed up, what an attitude!]
[Didn’t you see the crew didn’t dare to show the car? They even blurred the license plate. Wen Jiangxue is something else. Her wealthy patron actually came to pick her up after the show. If she really marries into a wealthy family in the future, none of you who slandered her will get away with it.]
[Pfft, all for show. If she wanted to punish us, would she wait until she’s married? Clearly, her patron doesn’t care about her at all, just keeping her as a little pet, acting as if it matters.]
…
Wen Jiangxue sat in the car, scrolling through her phone. Nine out of ten messages about her were about her wealthy patron, with one accusing her of clout-chasing everywhere.
A photo of her coincidentally with a male top star went online, leading to more criticism of her. Even if she kindly fed stray cats and dogs, she would be accused of having ulterior motives.
Over time, Wen Jiangxue had come to ignore it, treating the little Blackies as if they were just passing gas.
Looking at the man beside her, who was still focused on his work even in the car, his long legs crossed, the expensive suit pants were tight, showing the contours of the muscles on his legs. The shirt underneath his suit was buttoned up neatly, revealing a smooth Adam’s apple, and above that was his cold, stern side profile, not given to pleasantries. Today, he even had on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, adding to the forbidding aura.
“Aren’t you happy to come pick me up? Why don’t you say a word to me?”
The man, irritated, frowned and didn’t respond to Wen Jiangxue.
She leaned in closer, breathing a delicate fragrance by his face, “Is it because you didn’t see your sister? Mr. Ji.”
It was then that Ji Lingyun finally looked up from his work, turned his head, and was hit by Wen Jiangxue’s beautiful face and her smiling lips.
He closed his computer and gave her a cold glance, “Watch your mouth. I’m just on a business trip to Lin Chuan City and took the opportunity to pick you up.”
Wen Jiangxue laughed lazily, not taking his words to heart, “Oh, that’s really sad, am I that disgraceful?”
She stretched her hand through his expensive suit to his chest, “Mr. Ji has no heart, but mine is full of you. It’s not fair, my dear.”
When she uttered the words “my dear,” it was with a coquettish tone, infused with softness, as if dripping with water, murmuring and melodious.
Seeing that the man ignored her, she moved even closer, but he was terrifyingly rational until her red lips touched the corner of his mouth did he grab her hand that had already started causing havoc in the car.
His eyes flashed with annoyance, “Wen Jiangxue! We’re in a car!”
The driver in front immediately knew what to do and lowered the soundproof partition, leaving the two some private space.
Ji Lingyun: “…”
He didn’t mean that.
“Can’t we do it in the car? Then shall we go to a hotel?”
Ji Lingyun’s grip on her wrist tightened, but Wen Jiangxue seemed unfazed by the pain, still smiling at him expectantly, waiting for his response.
She was like fine jade that would bear a mark at his slightest touch.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice calm and steady, “What do you want this time?”
Wen Jiangxue whispered something into his ear.
Ji Lingyun chuckled softly, his eyes unmarred by any ripple, “Quite ambitious. The Wen Family of the Capital City is already in disarray, and yet you still want to add to the chaos?”
Wen Jiangxue’s smile was radiant, yet it didn’t reach her eyes, “I’m not adding to the chaos, I’m sincerely looking out for you. When one strand moves, the whole body is affected. The Wen Family’s downfall would do you no favors. Just tell me, will you help me or not? Next month is my uncle’s fiftieth birthday. He’s having an auction, and you must accompany me there. I have a potential inheritance of ten billion at stake. Once I get it, I’ll give it all to you, is that okay?”
Ji Lingyun: “…”
What a pity he isn’t a master at drawing cakes instead of being a star.
Ji Lingyun neither agreed nor refused and simply said, “Let’s head to the hotel first.”
…
Yue Ming Town
The group had dwindled from fifteen to just eight people, which somewhat quieted the atmosphere.
There were no learning tasks in the afternoon, but there were renovation tasks instead.
Netizens online had clamored for them to do farming tasks.
Those who did more work received more praise from the audience, and in return, they could be the first to learn about the final competition task for tomorrow and make preparations in advance.
He gave everyone a hoe and a pair of gloves and told them to find work at the farmstead grandmother’s home—whether helping with weeding, digging up vegetables, sowing seeds, or sweeping the floors.
Two hours later, the winner by popular vote was Shen Zhiyi.
Because she had unexpectedly saved an old man who had suffered a sudden heart attack.
It then dawned on everyone that she was the closed-door disciple of the medical world’s leading authority, Li Shizhong.
Since she had demonstrated her extraordinary medical skill, she decided to offer free health check-ups for all the elderly in the village, leading to a long queue of patients waiting for her.
It wasn’t until the topic of medical skill came up that Ji Tian remembered she had received a book on the basics of ancient medicine from her nominal master as a condition of their exchange—he had to chase Li Shizhong out of the house. Although several days had passed with no action from him, Ji Tian held no expectations for the old man, but she intended to keep her promise. She had read half of the lousy book, which was still within her comprehension, so there was no problem.
In the afternoon, the production team revealed the details of tomorrow’s mysterious task to Shen Zhiyi.
Next, they would determine tomorrow’s team partners by drawing lots.
Ji Tian and Shen Zhiyi ended up drawing three times in a row.
Finally, the results were announced.
Team A: Ji Tian, Yu Chuang, He Chenxi, Gong Yu.
Team B: Shen Zhiyi, Bai Tingyu, Qin Jiangsheng, Quan Jingyou.
