[Hmph, although it was Zhizhi's own mistake, the cold - bloodedness of the other guests was also evident. I really don't know what kind of people are trying to white - wash these cold - hearted ones.]
[Jiang Zhi's fans are really funny. Isn't it enough that your sister had two men going to help her? What a big - faced person. Does she expect all the guests to have a rematch just because she fell?]
[Exactly. Which of the other guests doesn't have a higher status than her? I really don't know where Jiang Zhi's fans get their nerve.]
The bullet - screen started arguing again, and a lot of onlookers rushed in after seeing the hot - search. The popularity of the show reached a new high.
Director Guo looked at the soaring popularity and couldn't stop smiling.
That wasn't just popularity; it was a ticket to attract more advertisers!
That was money!
The other guests put all the food on the table and invited everyone to eat together, including Jiang Zhi and the other two.
Although Wang Yufei was a bit reluctant in her heart, after all, this was a show. If she didn't do that, she might be scolded by the audience.
But Gu Beichen was ungrateful, thinking that they were deliberately humiliating him.
They clearly knew he had lost the game and were pretending to offer him food out of pity.
He wouldn't accept charity.
So, he took Jiang Zhi to look for food in the village.
Gu Xize didn't want to see Jiang Zhi alone with someone, so he followed.
[Come on, the other guests were kind enough to let them eat together. What are these three people pretending for?]
[They'd rather suffer for the sake of their pride.]
[They're really stupid.]
The three "stupid" people wandered around the village. An hour passed, and they still found nothing.
According to the rules of the program team, they couldn't use their belongings or money to exchange food with the villagers. They could only use their labor or hope that a villager would invite them for a meal.
After walking around, they got no food but consumed a lot of energy.
Jiang Zhi sighed: "How about we just endure it for lunch and eat more for dinner?"
Gu Beichen furrowed his brows: "I won't let my woman go hungry."
After wandering around for another round, the three, who were really too hungry to bear it, entered a small courtyard and happened to meet an old grandma who was about to go out.
Jiang Zhi immediately went up to her: "Hello, grandma. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to pick some cabbages in the field. You guys are the celebrities from the city, right?"
Jiang Zhi nodded gently, then said with some embarrassment: "Grandma... do you still have food at home? I wonder if we can have some?"
The old grandma was stunned: "Oh, not celebrities, but beggars?"
"..."
Gu Beichen's face visibly darkened.
Was this old grandma blind? With his innate noble aura, how could he look like a beggar?
The old grandma sighed: "Well, well. It's not easy to be a beggar these days. There's some cold rice in the pot. You can go and serve yourselves. I have to go to the field to work."
Jiang Zhi let out a sigh of relief.
Although it wasn't easy, they finally solved the problem of food.
The few people entered the house and lifted the lid of the big pot on the stove. Inside was a large pot of steaming paste.
Gu Beichen looked skeptical: "Is... this edible?"
This large pot seemed to be a paste made from vegetable leaves and cornmeal. It didn't look very appetizing.
Jiang Zhi nodded. To create a pitiful background for herself, she said with red eyes: "Of course it's edible. My mom used to make it for me."
After saying that, she quickly turned around and secretly wiped her tears.
Sure enough, upon seeing her like this, Gu Beichen felt extremely sad and said, "You've never told me anything about your mother?"
Jiang Zhi shook her head: "You must have heard about the accident of me being switched at birth... Forget it. I don't want to talk about these unhappy things."
[What does Jiang Zhi mean?]
[Jiang Zhi was switched with Jiang Miaomiao. Then Jiang Zhi's biological mother should be Jiang Miaomiao's adoptive mother. How come we've never heard any news about this adoptive mother?]
[That's right. Although the two children were switched by accident, Jiang Miaomiao was raised by her adoptive mother after all. Now that she's back in the wealthy family, she doesn't even show any filial piety to her adoptive mother.]
[It seems that the adoptive mother's family conditions were not good. Despite such difficult conditions, she raised Jiang Miaomiao well. Now that she's in the wealthy family, she doesn't even care. What an ungrateful person!]
A trace of imperceptible smile flashed in Jiang Zhi's eyes. Then she picked up a small bowl and served each of them a bowl of the paste.
The three of them were actually hungry, so they took a big bite.
Gu Beichen and Gu Xize both frowned as they ate.
Jiang Zhi, however, seemed to be used to hardship: "This is made from green vegetables and corn. They're all fresh and healthy ingredients. I'm used to it."
Then, she forced a strong smile: "Mmm, it's delicious."
Her seemingly tough appearance made those two men feel even more deeply sorry for her.
So, the bullet - screen once again crazily shifted the blame to the Jiang family.
[The Jiang family is so heartless. Although Jiang Zhi isn't their biological daughter, they raised her for so long. Don't they have any feelings? How could they let Jiang Zhi suffer so much?]
[Zhizhi is so pitiful.]
[No wonder both Gu Beichen and Gu Xize like her. If I were them, I'd also like this kind of stubborn little white flower who's not afraid of hardships.]
Just then, the old grandma came back from the vegetable field.
Seeing the three of them eating the paste, the old grandma was shocked: "What are you eating?"
Jiang Zhi gracefully wiped her mouth and said gratefully: "Grandma, thank you. The paste you made is really delicious. It tastes just like the one my mom made."
The old grandma looked puzzled: "Your mom fed you this?"
"Yes. I love it. Although it tastes a bit bitter, it was made by my mom. It has the taste of happiness."
"Then your mom is really a heartless person. How could she feed you pig food!"
"What... what?"
The expressions of the three of them froze instantly.
Pig? Pig food?
The old grandma looked at them in disbelief: "You guys are really pitiful. This pot of pig food was made with pig feed to fatten up my old sow. The cold rice is in the pot next to it. Can't you even tell the difference between rice and pig food?"
Gu Beichen looked down at the half - eaten paste in his bowl. He felt a rush of anger.
He had actually been eating pig food?
He, the president of the Gu Group, had eaten pig food in front of the camera. If his competitors saw this, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?
Jiang Zhi's face also turned ugly.
Damn it! How could this be pig food?
She had just wanted to play the pity card, but now she had made a huge fool of herself!
[What did Jiang Zhi mean just now? Does she really often eat pig food?]
[It's really delicious!]
[With a mother's 'flavor'. Hahaha]
[Jiang Zhi is lying! I saw the hot - search about the Jiang family cutting off relations with her not long ago. She used to live in the Jiang family. It hasn't even been a month. Where did she get the chance to eat pig food?]
Gu Beichen, who had eaten pig food, had an ugly expression. He gave Jiang Zhi a blaming look and then left with a flick of his sleeve.
Jiang Zhi immediately chased after him, but Gu Beichen didn't show any sign of waiting for her.
She knew very well that Gu Beichen was really angry.
On the other side, Jiang Miaomiao, who was having lunch, learned about the situation here through the plot provided by the system. She sneered in her heart and then looked at the following plot.
[Original text: Jiang Zhi gritted her teeth and directly fell to the ground. Then she called out pitifully to the man in front.
The man finally couldn't bear it and turned back to help her.
Jiang Zhi weakly grabbed Gu Beichen and said with a delicate look: "Beichen, listen to me..."]
