Watching Jiang Zhi's retreating figure, Jiang Miaomiao's eyes darkened.
Gu Beichen was such a proud man that he wouldn't tolerate that child.
Jiang Zhi had said those words in front of the camera, and audiences across the country would doubt whether he was the child's biological father.
Even if it could be proven that the child was his in the end, the rumors and gossip would be unstoppable.
Jiang Miaomiao turned around and immediately noticed Fu Xue'er in the crowd, looking at her with full - blown admiration.
She was a bit confused.
What had she done?
Fu Xue'er withdrew her gaze, her eyes still shining brightly.
Big sister - in - law is so amazing.
For some reason, she could suddenly hear big sister - in - law talking to the system. Clearly, when they first met at the Feng family, she couldn't hear it.
Thinking back carefully, it seemed that after she called her big sister - in - law, she could hear it.
Her mother said that when they were at the Feng family, it was thanks to big sister - in - law modifying the plot that she saw through the disgusting true nature of Feng Yichen, that scoundrel.
She really hoped that her brother would come back soon and get engaged to big sister - in - law. Otherwise, what if big sister - in - law ran away? She only recognized this one big sister - in - law!
In the evening, except for Jiang Zhi and Gu Beichen, the other guests were all busy at the village entrance.
On the open - air grassland, several large pots were set up.
The program team planned to have the guests cook a dinner by themselves and invite the elderly in the village to eat together. After all, their filming in the village was bound to cause some disturbance, and they sometimes needed the cooperation of the villagers.
This small village was far from the urban area, and the population was not large. All the young people had gone out to work, and almost all the people left in the village were the elderly. Currently, besides the young people from the program team, there was only a female college student who had returned to the village.
This only female college student was being surrounded by the village aunts and grandmas, who were urging her to get married.
"Xi Xi, it's not that Auntie Er is forcing you. Look, you'll graduate from university in two years. Why don't you think about what you want to do in the future?"
A grandma took out her phone and started playing a Douyin video on speaker.
"Shocking! 00 - generation girls are scrambling for 80 - generation guys..."
"Hello, everyone. We're Russian women. We've come to snatch Chinese men..."
Jiang Miaomiao stood on tiptoe and took a glance, immediately recognizing it as a stupid short video generated by AI.
But the elderly in the village couldn't tell at all and firmly believed it, saying, "Look, even Russian women have come to snatch men. If you don't get married early, all the men will be snatched by foreigners in the future!"
"That's right! Look at you, child. We're doing this for your own good. Why don't you listen?"
The girl named Xixi sighed helplessly, her eyes empty.
Jiang Miaomiao, acting friendly as if they were old friends, moved a small stool and sat beside the grandma. "Grandma, you're right. Chinese men are about to be snatched up by foreigners. And it's not just Russians. There are others too. If you don't believe me, lend me your phone, and I'll search it for you."
Seeing such an understanding girl, the grandma immediately handed over her phone with a big smile. "Girl, quickly search and show Xixi. This child just won't listen. You persuade her too. You young people must have something to talk about."
Jiang Miaomiao smiled gently, tapped on the phone, and quickly found the video she wanted.
"Hello, everyone. We're African men. We've come to snatch Chinese men. Chinese men are cute and small, and we love them..."
"Grandma, look. Even African men have come to snatch Chinese men. These men are really popular!"
The grandma's face changed slightly. "I heard Africans are very black. Why are African men also coming to snatch people? Men and men, how can this be..."
"That's not all!" Jiang Miaomiao immediately switched to another video.
"Hello, everyone. We're aliens from the planet Pross. We've come to snatch Chinese men..."
"Grandma, look. Even aliens have come to snatch them!"
The circle of aunts and grandmas sitting around were all looking horrified. "There are aliens too?"
Jiang Miaomiao nodded seriously. "Yes, yes. Not only aliens, but there are also cross - species ones!"
As she spoke, she switched to another video.
"Hello, everyone. We're dinosaurs from the Jurassic period. We've come to snatch Chinese men..."
The aunts and grandmas' eyes widened. "Even dinosaurs have come to snatch them? By the way, what kind of dragon is a dinosaur?"
"That's not all. These aliens and dinosaurs don't just snatch young men. They also go for old men. Grandma, you have to keep an eye on your grandpa when you get back."
The grandma nodded. "No way. My grandpa still has to feed the pigs tomorrow. I'll tie him up when I get back tonight."
"Pfft——" Chen Xi couldn't help laughing when she saw the aunts and grandmas believing it wholeheartedly.
Then, she looked at Jiang Miaomiao gratefully, and the other party smiled back at her.
Chen Xi blinked, staring at Jiang Miaomiao's face in a daze.
She always felt that this sister looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere.
Just then, Jiang Zhi and Gu Beichen came back.
They came back hand in hand, both wearing faint smiles on their faces.
The trolls arranged by Jiang Zhi immediately started their act again.
[Jiang Zhi is so amazing. She managed to placate him so quickly?]
[It's because Gu Beichen loves her too much. He was so easily coaxed by his wife.]
[Real couples are so shippable.]
[Who can relate? He seemed so angry just now, but after his wife took him out for a while, he couldn't help smiling when they came back.]
[They even came back hand in hand. Do you know how lethal this blatant display of affection is to a young and passionate female college student?]
[I can only say they're really well - matched. The two of them have killed me with their sweetness again.]
[I'm usually fickle, but I can't stop shipping you two lovebirds.]
The passers - by watching the live - stream were annoyed by the barrage of shipping comments.
[What's so shippable about them?]
[A liar and a weirdo, a crazy couple!]
[Could those who say they're shippable be trolls?]
Amid the argument in the bullet - screen, the guests had finished cooking dinner for the whole village.
The head chef was Fu Xue'er. Although she was a wealthy daughter, she really liked cooking.
Jiang Zhi walked over and looked at the other guests with an apologetic face. "I'm so sorry. I didn't help with tonight's dinner at all."
Hearing this, Wang Yufei pursed her lips.
Who would dare to let her help? Did she want the whole village to eat her saliva chicken soup?
Dishes filled with aroma were laid out on several large tables, and all the villagers had arrived.
The leader was an old man surnamed Chen, who was the most influential person in the village.
Director Guo first went up to chat with the villagers for a while before inviting everyone to be seated.
Just then, Jiang Zhi suddenly spoke up. "Grandpa Chen, do you remember me?"
Grandpa Chen nodded. "Sure, you're Xu Cuilan's biological daughter, right?"
Hearing the old man reply as she had requested, the smile on Jiang Zhi's lips deepened.
Before coming here, she had already bribed the villagers.
As long as there were villagers testifying that her mother had treated Jiang Miaomiao well before, she could pin the label of "ungrateful wretch" on Jiang Miaomiao.
Maybe she could even use public opinion to get her mother out of prison.
At this moment, Jiang Zhi had no idea that Grandpa Chen's next actions would shock her.
