Unexpectedly encountering such a situation, Journalist Lin, who had been standing there, looked awkward, though deep down, he was overjoyed.
Goodness, he originally thought today’s task was just a simple interview with Shi Yuwei.
Turns out Lu Sheng was also at the Shi Family’s place, not to mention the other three students they wanted to invite—Lu Youming, Han Jing, and Lan Yu—all showed up.
And their arrival directly led to a heated confrontation with Shi Yuwei, making the scene incredibly intense.
Lan Yu splashed a cup of water on Shi Yuwei—that would make for quite the headline if it went public.
Journalist Lin could already predict that their new program might explode online even before it officially aired.
However, it was only now that Shi Yuwei snapped out of her earlier rage.
——When that short-haired girl walked in just now, what was it she said?
[Oh, does Miss Shi really think she’s someone special? Look at you, acting so capable, even threatening the crew to make them choose between you and Shengsheng.]
[Let me tell you, whether you want to participate in this program is up to you. But if Shengsheng goes, Lu Youming, Han Jing, and I will go as well. If she doesn’t go, the three of us won’t go either.]
[Since you love making the crew play selection games, why don’t you think about this? For the program, do you think having just you alone participate is more important, or having all four of us participate is better?]
...Wait a minute.
If these people entered after watching the live stream just now...
Before saying anything about letting Journalist Lin make a choice, hadn’t she already told the cameraman to turn off the camera? How could they know she threatened the crew to pick participants??
Shi Yuwei’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She thought of a possibility, and the next second, she rushed straight to the camera held by the cameraman.
And then she saw that the camera lens hadn’t been turned off at all.
The live stream had captured every bit of the living room’s scene, broadcasting uninterrupted!
The live feed wasn’t turned off—what does that mean?
It means that all the things she said earlier, thinking the camera was off—the words she didn’t bother disguising, as well as the humiliating scene where she was splashed with water—had all been broadcasted live to the entire internet for all viewers to see?
Lu Sheng only got her clothes dirtied with porridge, but Shi Yuwei was soaked from head to toe, with her makeup completely ruined! And this was her first official appearance on the internet!
"You... You didn’t turn off the live stream?!"
Shi Yuwei wanted nothing more than to wring the neck of the cameraman.
But remembering that anything she said now would be broadcast live, she had to suppress the urge to curse out loud.
Her only recourse was to glare daggers at the cameraman.
The cameraman, feeling pressured under her gaze, explained nervously, "Er... Sorry, Shi. I’m not sure what’s wrong with the equipment. I tried to turn it off earlier, but it didn’t shut down..."
Nonsense—it was clearly intentional!
Shi Yuwei gritted her teeth in anger. Hearing the cameraman’s excuse, Lu Youye sneered coldly and tightened his grip on his sister’s hand.
"Isn’t it better that the live stream wasn’t turned off? Now you can apologize to Shengsheng in front of the entire internet audience."
Shi Yuwei wanted to retort and refuse to apologize. While it was true she had spilled the porridge, she firmly believed Lu Sheng had conspired with the servant to frame her!
After all, whether the fainting was genuine or not, it was clear that today’s live broadcast couldn’t proceed further.
Fortunately, the footage captured earlier was already sensational enough for him to deliver to his superiors.
Before leaving, Journalist Lin couldn’t help but confirm once more: "Lu Sheng, are you sure you’ll participate in our program?"
"According to what Lan Yu said earlier, if Lu Sheng participates, Lu Youming, Han Jing, and Lan Yu will also join, correct?"
After getting a definitive answer, Journalist Lin left in high spirits with the cameraman.
Once the reporter and his crew left, the Shi Family’s living room became chaotic, with everyone worrying about Shi Yuwei’s condition.
Lu Sheng knew perfectly well that Shi Yuwei was pretending to faint.
They’re all demons—she understands their tricks all too well. This acting could perhaps fool the family members who genuinely cared about the original host.
After saying a few words to her two brothers, Lu Sheng narrowed her eyes and walked over to Shi Yuwei, crouching down beside her: "...Let me take a look at her."
"You? What could you possibly know—"
Shi Suxin was about to dismiss her offer but suddenly remembered that Lu Sheng was Feng Guolin’s closed-door disciple—the one who had brought Old Mr. Shi back from the brink of death. She genuinely did know a thing or two.
Shi Suxin reluctantly swallowed her words.
Shi Muchuan naturally trusted Lu Sheng and immediately moved Shi Yuwei closer to her, earnestly saying, "I’ll leave it to you, Shengsheng."
Lu Sheng symbolically checked Shi Yuwei’s pulse and then made her diagnosis: "It’s not a relapse of her heart condition—she fainted from a sudden rush of anger and agitation."
Hearing that it wasn’t her heart condition, the Shi Family breathed a collective sigh of relief. Shi Suxin couldn’t help but ask, "Then what should we do about her agitation-induced fainting? How can Yuwei wake up?"
"Don’t worry," Lu Sheng said calmly, taking out her acupuncture kit that she had originally prepared for Old Mr. Shi for a treatment. She tilted her head slightly, "I’ll just poke her with needles a few dozen times; she’ll wake up right away."
