My Wife is the Villainess - Chapter 8

Lu Shasha, there were many scandals, but there was also a lot of popularity. 

In this circle, no matter if you were famous or infamous, as long as there was popularity, it meant you had value.

When there was value, then naturally, they could be used.

An Xinyan thought that the reason why Bai Qianqian took this program was more likely to make use of Lu Shasha.

With Lu Shasha around, and people’s attention, Bai Qianqian would use her tactics again. With this exposure, wouldn’t she be able to soar to the top?

Besides, she used to pretend to be weak. Lu Shasha’s character could be her best foil, and might immediately become a popular character.

Unfortunately, An Xinyan wouldn’t give her such a chance.

Therefore, she directly asked Shang Jinyan to speak to Shengtian, to help her get this position, and named her to replace Bai Qianqian.

This way, it was her, An Xinyan who would be popular. As for Bai Qianqian, she should, of course, go wherever she could become the least popular.

With this, An Xinyan was in a wonderful mood to stroll around.

As long as she could make Bai Qianqian miserable, she felt especially joyful. Turning to the front yard, she saw Lu Shasha sitting there with melon seeds and immediately went over with a smile on her face.

“Senior Lu, I didn’t think we could meet in this variety show. “

An Xinyan sat beside Lu Shasha with a smile on her face.

So, what about Lu Shasha? She was just an outdated actress.

It was said that the rich man’s business, the one who ‘kept’ her, was sometimes good and sometimes bad, which led to Lu Shasha sometimes having work and sometimes doing nothing.

She simply disdained being associated with this kind of person. 

However, Lu Shasha was still needed for the popularity of this show, so she didn’t mind getting along with Lu Shasha. She would still be able to get attention from the camera when the time comes.

“Your company didn’t give you a list of other guests when they notified you? Strange, is your position in the company that low?”

Lu Shasha didn’t pay attention to An Xinyan’s words, but muttered with a clueless look on her face.

The harmless appearance made An Xinyan’s appearance turn to ugly-anger.

Old woman! What were you talking about!?

“Sister Lu, you misunderstood. Of course, I knew you were in this as a guest. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be willing to take this variety show. “

After saying so, An Xinyan looked away with a face full of disgust.

That clearly meant that Lu Shasha was now so lowly that she took this kind of variety show, how could she still have the face to mock her low status?

“Oh, that’s true. If it weren’t for me, I’m afraid no one would watch this program at all. What’s so great about this whomever guest? Don’t you think so?”

Lu Shasha chuckled, An Xinyan’s tricks weren’t even enough for her to care.

“…”

Since growing up, An Xinyan had never been hit in the face like this before.

Even if she was separated from her family, because she was backed by Shang Jinyan, no one dared to speak rudely to her, either in her family or outside.

Not to mention hurting her face to face.

In this circle, they were all human beings, no one could guarantee that you would be able to always step on a small artist today, and tomorrow they would suddenly become a big star.

You couldn’t say and did things too viciously. 

What made An Xinyan feel worse was that what Lu Shasha said, really stumped her pride. She was unable to defend herself, because what she said was true!

This feeling was really suffocating … 

“Miss An, everything has been moved to your room.”

Bai Qianqian really came at a bad time, she couldn’t help it.

“Are you a porter? Do you only know how to move things? Can’t you put everything in order after you’re done moving them?”

Sure enough, An Xinyan took her anger on Bai Qianqian.

Bai Qianqian kept her head down and said nothing. And no need for her to really clean up, just move things was good. She just needed to show the action of moving boxes in front of Shang Jinyan. This scene was a must.

Just like now, after An Xinyan became angry, she proudly carried her head high and left. After all, this was outside. If she haggled with Bai Qianqian here, her image would look bad. 

Bai Qianqian was different. After the scene, she could move on her own.

Bai Qianqian immediately stopped in front of An Xinyan, carrying An Xinyan’s bag in her hand and dropped it in front of An Xinyan.

“Don’t you have hands and feet? Why are you telling others to move your own things and arrange them for you? Are you happy to steal other people’s roles? Unfortunately, you are only destined to be a female supporting character!”

After saying that, Bai Qianqian turned to leave, leaving An Xinyan stunned. 

“Was she … was she talking to me just now?”

It was unbelievable. An Xinyan couldn’t help but turn to ask her assistant.

As a female supporting character, there would still be the most basic reaction. Unlike other small characters, who saw Bai Qianqian do something other than the behavior in the plot setting, didn’t respond and turned a blind eye.

“Yes.”

As an assistant beside the supporting female, she didn’t get a name, let alone a line. So, she could only nod and answer.

“Blockhead!”

An Xinyan gave her assistant a glance, stomped her foot and chased after her unhappily, trying to find Bai Qianqian to argue.

It wa a pity that it was a different matter if she couldn’t catch up with 10-centimeter-high-heels.

“Interesting.”

Lu Shasha was holding an apple and eating happily.

This morning, there was such gossip to see. this was really good.

Su Chen’s brow wrinkled. Lu Shasha didn’t seem to be surprised by Bai Qianqian’s behavior.

Did she know something was wrong with Bai Qianqian, or did she just think Bai Qianqian’s behavior was interesting?

The world was becoming even more incomprehensible to him, and the women were …

This variety show was called ‘Field Life’. You could tell by its name. It was for guests to experience life in the fields.

In addition for preparing ingredients and meals for them on the first day, the program team asked them to prepare their own ingredients and meals for the following days.

“Really?”

The guests seemed to only hear about this for the first time. They gasped while covering their mouths in disbelief. The exaggerated acting made goosebumps fell all over the floor.

“It doesn’t matter, when I was a child, I lived in the countryside with my grandmother for a period of time. I can teach you.”

Guest 2 raised his hand and looked excited.

“I can’t do anything, but I can help.”

Guest 3 pulled up his sense of existence.

“Tsk, what a pretender.”

An Xinyan was on the side, coldly muttering.

Just like Lu Shasha said, these guests had already got the guest list and program content before they left.

It was too fake to say that they didn’t know anything now.

However, An Xinyan originally intended to say the same thing as Guest 1. Unfortunately, with Lu Shasha’s arrival in the afternoon, she felt that this was now more exemplary instead.

Anyway, in this program, except Lu Shasha, everyone else was just a background, so she just needed to keep Lu Shasha from disliking her in front of so many people.

Didn’t she dislike others pretending? She would just follow her.

When Lu Shasha was happy, she would interact with her more. When she interacted more, she would have more footage. When the time came, she would take the opportunity to step on Lu Shasha too, just to feel refreshed!

“Miss An, this is in front of the camera! How can you talk about others like that?”

Lu Shasha looked at An Xinyan with a face of disapproval.

“Everyone is trying to give advice. Although you are a big lady at home, since you participated in this program, you should get involved. This is called dedication.”

An Xinyan: “…”

How come she disliked her no matter what she said or did?

“I brought the ingredients.”

Since we all had to pretend, let’s pretend together, who wouldn’t? Anyway, Shang Jinyan would help her cut out that part just now.

With a wave of her hand, An Xinyan told Bai Qianqian to come in with two big boxes.

“This box is full of the ingredients I brought. “

While gesturing for Bai Qianqian to open the box, she proudly announced:

“This box contains shark’s fin, abalone, foie-gras, and caviar. And that one contains steak, pork chop, and many fresh fruits, as well as butter, flour, and that, that …”

After saying that, An Xinyan sat there, waiting for the worship from everyone.

‘Ha ha, didn’t you expect that? This Madam has brought so many good things, so you have to rely on the Madam to have food for the next few days. Why don’t you kneel down and call me Empress?’

Only, the crowd froze for a long while. They looked at each other a few times, but no one spoke first.

That dumbfounded look made An Xinyan even more pleased.

‘Oh, Lu Shasha, Lu Shasha, the two small boxes you brought when you came here can’t hold that many ingredients, right?’

‘I’m afraid you didn’t bring anything with you this time. Even if you are a Movie Queen, what about it? When the time comes, don’t you have to ask me to give you food?’

“It seems Miss An is a very good cook at home.”

Lu Shasha spoke this time.

The other three guests’ weren’t even on the same level. How would they dare to say anything to An Xinyan?

Everyone in the circle knew that An Xinyan was the person that Shang Jinyan wanted to support. They, let alone the people in the circle, were afraid to provoke him. That meant, out of the circle, no one dared to offend her.

“Hmm?”

An Xinyan looked at Lu Shasha strangely. What did it have to do with cooking?

“With so many complicated ingredients, you can do it. Your cooking must be very good.”

Seeing An Xinyan’s confused look, Lu Shasha kindly explained.

“Who told you that I would do it?”

An Xinyan looked at Lu Shasha with a dumbfounded face. Which girl cooked by herself these days?

“You don’t know how to cook, then what did you bring these for? Do you want us to cook it for you?”

Lu Shasha gave An Xinyan a blank look.

“It’s normal for me to contribute something and you contribute too.”

An Xinyan took it for granted.

“Sorry, we can’t do what Miss An can’t do. Have you ever heard of ‘doing unto others what you don’t want done to you’?”

Lu Shasha’s words welcomed the goodwill of guest 1, 2, and 3. Yes, yes, the big stars were just different. They thought that people with so many scandals on the Internet would be difficult to get along with.

But unexpectedly, everything she said was reasonable, much better than that Miss An!
