The entire production team was stunned!
The entire live-stream audience was stunned!
Everyone stared at the scene in utter bewilderment!
Director Meng was the first to snap out of it, trembling as he switched the camera feed.
The live stream flickered, now showing Aunt Liu cooking in the kitchen.
Unfortunately, even delicious food paled in comparison to juicy gossip. The audience flooded the comments section so fast it nearly crashed the server.
【Director, I was halfway through eating my melon and you show me this? /knife/knife】
【Ahhhh! Switch it back! I’ll buy 20 years of Tomato Live membership!!】
【Was the last person who came to the rescue Lu Minglang? I’m dying to know!!】
【Definitely! My roommate is a die-hard Lu Minglang fan. Even though he changed clothes, I recognized his voice instantly!】
…
On the scene.
He Huainan slammed hard against the wall, nearly coughing up blood.
Damn, Lu Minglang looks skinny, but how is he so strong?!
Lu Minglang turned back, his amber eyes filled with concern: “Xiao Qiao, are you alright?”
Wen Ruqiao: “…I’m fine.”
She quietly retracted her foot.
If she had kicked out, the one in trouble wouldn’t have been her. 🙂
Seeing her brush it off so lightly, Lu Minglang felt even more heartbroken!
When Xiao Qiao was little, she would cry at the sight of ugly vegetables, clinging to him for a hug, soft and delicate.
But now, even after being bullied by this ugly thing, she remained so calm and strong. How had she lived through these years…
The more Lu Minglang thought about it, the angrier he became, and he threw a punch!
He Huainan screamed: “Ah—”
An adult man’s explosive strength was still formidable. He Huainan pushed Lu Minglang away with force, and just as the two were about to start fighting, a group of staff rushed over and pulled them apart.
He Huainan had lost all traces of his elegant, gentlemanly demeanor, cursing angrily: “Lu Minglang, are you fucking insane?! What did I ever do to you? Why are you going crazy?!”
Lu Minglang’s muscles tensed, his thin lips pressed into a straight line. He was like an unsheathed blade, sharp and imposing, his voice icy: “How dare you bully Xiao Qiao?”
He Huainan was furious. It was just a woman, was it really worth all this?
Seeing that the camera indicator lights were off, he knew the filming had stopped, which gave him confidence. He sneered:
“What happens between her and me is none of your business. She’s a nobody in the industry. No matter what I do to her, she should be thanking me for giving her exposure…”
Smack—
A crisp sound rang out.
The staff jumped, all turning to look at a slender figure.
He Huainan was dumbfounded: “Wen Ruqiao, you hit me?”
Wen Ruqiao flexed her wrist, raising an eyebrow: “If I want to hit you, do I need to pick a special day?”
He Huainan: …!!
He wiped the corner of his mouth, where a trace of blood had appeared.
Damn, how is this woman so strong too?!
A flicker of malice passed through He Huainan’s eyes, but he didn’t forget to sow discord: “Lu Minglang, is this the woman you’re defending? Just a shrew. So this is your type?”
Lu Minglang: “Bullshit! My sister is the cutest girl in the world!!”
He Huainan froze, finally remembering that when Lu Minglang rushed over earlier, he had also mentioned the word “sister”…
A bad feeling suddenly washed over him.
The staff exchanged glances, a bold speculation forming in their minds.
Lu Minglang is so protective of Wen Ruqiao, could it be because she’s…
“Who’s your sister? Stop calling me that, will you?” Wen Ruqiao said disdainfully.
Lu Minglang’s ears instantly flushed red. His Adam’s apple bobbed several times before he cautiously said, “You… you are my sister… my biological sister…”
He Huainan: …!!
Staff: …!!
This news was no less than a bombshell, shocking everyone!
Wen Ruqiao is actually Lu Minglang’s biological sister?!?
However, Wen Ruqiao’s reaction was beyond everyone’s expectations—
She scoffed lightly, sounding particularly blunt and straightforward: “And I’m your biological father! Don’t try to scam me, I have an anti-fraud app!”
Lu Minglang: “…”
He Huainan: “…”
Staff: “…”
After a long silence, Lu Minglang suddenly realized: “So, you haven’t been answering the Lu family’s calls because you thought we were scammers?”
Two days ago, after the Lu family received confirmation that Wen Ruqiao was their long-lost little princess, they immediately tried to contact her.
But the calls were hung up, texts were blocked, emails were moved to the trash, and even the WeChat friend requests were replied to with six words:
【Don’t scam me, it won’t work】
The Lu family thought Wen Ruqiao was having trouble accepting the truth, never imagining that from start to finish, she thought it was all a scam!!
Half an hour later.
Lu Minglang picked up the cup from the coffee table and nervously took a few sips.
Unlike his nervousness, Wen Ruqiao beside him had been swaying in her chair for so long that she was almost falling asleep.
“Finished?”
Lu Minglang nodded: “Xiao Qiao, do you believe me now? You really are my long-lost sister, and I… I am your Brother.”
Just saying the word “Brother” made the tips of Lu Minglang’s ears turn red.
He anxiously rubbed the cup, eagerly awaiting Wen Ruqiao’s reaction.
He had imagined the scene of reuniting with his sister—Xiao Qiao might be happy, she might cry, or she might even scold him.
But it didn’t matter; he would make up for everything he owed her over the years.
However, Lu Minglang never expected that Wen Ruqiao would simply respond with a faint “Oh”: “Alright, I know.”
And then, nothing more.
Lu Minglang was stunned for over ten seconds before he asked in a trembling voice, “Do… do you still think I’m scamming you? Xiao Qiao, I’m not, I can show you the paternity test…”
“No need, I believe you.” Wen Ruqiao said, puzzled. “We’re biological siblings, OK, I get it. Can I leave now?”
Lu Minglang stared at her in disbelief, trying to find any change in her expression.
But there was nothing.
It seemed like she had been this calm from beginning to end.
Her gaze was clear, neither happy nor resentful.
Or, to put it another way—she didn’t care.
Panic appeared on Lu Minglang’s handsome face, leaving him flustered and at a loss.
The cup in his hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
“Xiao Qiao, did… did I do something wrong?” Lu Minglang’s voice trembled, as if tinged with a sob. The corners of his eyes were red and swollen, looking fragile and broken.
Was it something he did wrong? Or did he upset his sister??
Wen Ruqiao was stunned for a few seconds, feeling uneasy: “Hey, don’t cry…”
If she hadn’t said anything, it might have been fine, but as soon as she spoke, Lu Minglang could no longer control his emotions, and tears began to fall.
“Wahhh, Xiao Qiao, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault…”
On stage, the top idol who shone with a brilliant light and was as cold as an iceberg instantly transformed into a teary-eyed, puppy-like boy. He sobbed softly:
“If… if you don’t want a brother, I… I can be your younger brother too…”
Wen Ruqiao: “…”
╮(╯▽╰)╭ Truly a beautiful fool.
