Chapter 68: Escape
Yu Wan looked at Yu Jue in shock, looking extremely pained.
Yu Jue stroked his chin with a thoughtful expression.
“In the past, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and I might have thought that what you did was just because you were a little girl and were jealous. It wouldn’t be a big problem. But later, we understood that when we let you off, we were actually hurting Yaoyao just like you were. Now, we just saw the truth and don’t want to unconditionally indulge in your bad intentions. We also don’t want to be your accomplices anymore.”
“That’s all.”
Yu Wan looked at Yu Jue in a daze. This was the first time she realized that Yu Jue actually had such a calm and heartless side.
“Third Brother, how could you say such a thing? I thought that even if Big Brother and Second Brother changed, you wouldn’t abandon me…”
Two streams of tears rolled down from Yu Wan’s eyes. She looked extremely pitiful. “I don’t know what kind of drug Sister drugged you with to make you hate me so much, but I can swear that I’m really not like what you think!”
As Yu Wan spoke, she reached out to pull at Yu Jue’s clothes. “Third Brother, there must be a misunderstanding between us. Can you let me explain?”
Yu Jue subconsciously took a step back and looked helplessly at the crying Yu Wan. He frowned and said, “Yu Wan, Yaoyao didn’t lie to you just now. We all know what you did and have substantial evidence, so I won’t listen to your explanation. They’re just excuses.”
Yu Wan’s expression changed dramatically. She wiped away her tears and looked at Yu Jue and Yu Yao with a complicated expression. In the end, she only squeezed out a sentence from the cracks in her teeth. “What on earth do you know?”
Yu Yao laughed mockingly and pointed at the camera facing them. “Are you sure you want me to tell you everything now?”
Yu Wan’s expression was ugly as she stared intently at Yu Yao with her lips pursed. In the end, she said nothing and turned to leave quickly.
To be exact, she had fled.
Yu Jue waved at the cameraman and leaned in to whisper in his ear, “Cut this section off when you get back. Don’t let it out. I’ll tell your executive director personally.”
The cameraman was used to such things in the entertainment industry, so he nodded and agreed. “I’ll listen to the director. As long as you discuss it with the director, I won’t release these controversial scenes. But you guys have to contribute more interesting ones today.”
“Okay, no problem.”
Hence, on this day, Yu Jue and Yu Yao played on the ferry in the park. They even found an old store that sold many childhood snacks in the park. They spent the remaining funds on the activities and bought many cheap snacks that they had only eaten when they were young.
Their easy and happy day ended when the executive director announced the scores.
For fulfilling family members’ wishes, the activity was graded by both the directors and the family members themselves. The two scores were weighted equally and added up to create the final score.
In order to make their scores look better, Yu Jue and Yu Yao shamelessly gave each other full marks. However, the production team did not show any mercy to them. Their group’s final score was unsurprisingly ranked last.
Yu Jue and Yu Yao did not take this ranking seriously, but their fearless expressions froze and then cracked when the executive director announced the rules for the next recording.
The executive director said coldly, “Due to the fact that some teams have been slacking during the recording process, before the next recording begins, we will be distributing initial funds according to the scores of the teams. The higher the scores, the higher the initial funds. The lower the scores, the lesser the initial funds. Your performance this time will determine the quality of life during the next recording.”
Yu Jue’s expression cracked as he looked at the executive director in disbelief. “Why didn’t you guys have this rule before?”
The executive director adjusted his sunglasses and said coldly, “Because we didn’t expect to meet such a shameless guest. In order to create a good competitive atmosphere between the various teams of guests, the production team can only change the rules.”
Under Yu Jue’s disbelieving and shocked expression, as well as Yu Yao’s extremely regretful and annoyed expression, the program team calmly packed up their equipment and left without any reluctance.
The first recording of “The Unknown Side of Me” lasted for three days. After intense promotions and editing, the first episode was aired a few days later on the weekend.
Yu Jue himself had tens of millions of fans. Yu Yao had also received a lot of attention because of her performance at the press conference. As a result, the variety show had received a lot of attention and saved the production team a lot of money on publicity. When the program’s announcement was sent, all the netizens expressed their anticipation.
When the broadcast officially started, the video platform was even frozen for a few seconds by the surging audience.
What everyone paid the most attention to was naturally Yu Jue and Yu Yao’s group. This week’s variety show was only 90 minutes, while Yu Jue and Yu Yao’s duration was only 20 minutes, but it attracted a lot of attention and discussion.
