After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 409: Are You More Important or the Four of Us?

Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Are You More Important or the Four of Us?

...

These words, whoever hears them, would surely find them odd.

Who would idle around and deliberately have a servant scald themself, then show up on camera in such a disheveled state just to frame someone else for what happened?

What benefit would Lu Sheng gain from doing this?

If her intention was really to outshine Shi Yuwei, wouldn’t it be better to dress up more elegantly and beautifully than her?

Even Shi Yuwei herself felt that her earlier question was as good as saying something without thinking.

"..." And Lu Sheng’s response left Shi Yuwei completely speechless in an instant.

She could only take a deep breath to stay calm. Outwardly composed, but inwardly she was gritting her teeth tightly.

"Uh, no matter what’s going on, Lu Sheng’s current state doesn’t seem too good."

Journalist Lin stepped in to mediate, his attitude friendly, "Lu Sheng, you should probably go change your clothes first. We’ll wait here for you to come back before officially starting the interview."

Journalist Lin hadn’t expected to garner such unexpected material during this first livestream of the preview episode today.

The other college entrance examination top scorer, Lu Sheng, was also present. Not to mention, she and this heiress of the Shi family, Shi Yuwei, were sisters. And Shi Yuwei seemed to be secretly targeting her, with a palpable tension between the two.

Although the show hadn’t started broadcasting yet, wasn’t this topic and the drama already coming together?

The problem was, Lu Sheng had previously refused their invitation to join the program.

If Lu Sheng could change her mind and agree to participate in the program...

Wait a minute, wasn’t the production team here today to interview her? Then why were they waiting for Lu Sheng to change her clothes and come back to start?

Shi Yuwei was furious, but couldn’t express her anger in front of the cameras.

She forced out a smile and asked Journalist Lin, "...Journalist Lin, didn’t Lu Sheng already decline the program invitation?"

"Since she isn’t participating in today’s interview, there’s no need to wait for her, right? We can start directly." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

However, Lu Sheng suddenly spoke up.

"Ah...right, this is what I also wanted to say."

"The reason I declined the program team’s invitation previously was because my family originally had plans to travel in a few days. The schedules clashed, so I had no choice but to decline."

"But since I came to Beijing this time, those travel plans have been canceled. So in that case, my Fourth Brother and I should have time to join the program."

"What?"

Journalist Lin’s eyes lit up, thoroughly delighted, "Lu Sheng, are you saying both you and Lu Youming will participate in our program? That’s fantastic!"

An additional college entrance examination top scorer who got a full score, alongside the third-ranked contestant with a score of 740—if they didn’t join, could this really be called a gathering of geniuses?

Higher-ups had put immense pressure on them to secure these talents for the program. And now, even before they reached Jiang City, Lu Sheng had agreed to participate.

"I’m not sure about my brother’s decision, but I personally have no issue with it," Lu Sheng responded with a polite smile, though her gaze swept toward Shi Yuwei.

She had been the one to provoke her first.

Not to mention stirring up a commotion earlier.

Lu Sheng was beginning to suspect that last night’s incident involving Lin Fangling wasn’t unrelated to Shi Yuwei.

[Rest assured, nowadays, even the slightest connection to a murder case gets major attention from the authorities, sparking public debates. I wouldn’t casually kill like I did before.]

[What I intend to do is gradually dazzle the public with brilliance. The more they adore me, the stronger my Soul Power becomes—just like how I achieved full marks as the top scorer in the college entrance examination.]

[To think, I couldn’t initially understand why someone ended up achieving full marks alongside me and stealing my thunder, but turns out, that person is you.]

[Stealing my limelight once may not matter...but Qiangwei, know this—you simply can’t outshine me in terms of likability.]

Lu Sheng recalled Shi Yuwei’s words, spoken in the room earlier.

In terms of likability...she couldn’t beat her?

Lu Sheng smirked coldly in her heart. Was she overestimating herself, or underestimating her opponent?

Lu Sheng withdrew her gaze and compassionately told Journalist Lin, "I’ll go change my clothes first then. You can go ahead and interview my sister. No need to wait for me."

Shi Yuwei felt like exploding upon hearing this.

Wasn’t the production team here for her?

Now it seemed as though they had come for Lu Sheng, with even the first interview arranged as if on Lu Sheng’s terms!

Shi Yuwei’s face turned dark.

She was, after all, the esteemed Shi family heiress and the daughter of the Chenshi Pharmaceutical chairman. Yet this Qingmang TV showed her no respect?

And now Lu Sheng was joining the program?

This program involved living together for a full ten days; she had no desire to constantly cross paths and compete for popularity with Lu Sheng throughout the show!

She glanced at the cameraman first and squeezed out a smile, softly asking, "...Excuse me, could you please turn off the livestream for a moment?"

The cameraman was puzzled and instinctively looked to Journalist Lin.

Journalist Lin understood that shutting off the livestream likely meant discussing things unsuitable for a live audience. That couldn’t happen.

Drama like this was exactly what they wanted!

So he gave the cameraman a knowing look. The cameraman got the message.

Pretending to press a button, the screen remained live as usual.

The moment the clicking sound was heard, Shi Yuwei, who had been smiling until just now, dropped any semblance of her prior expression.

Her attitude before and after the camera couldn’t have been more different.

She coldly demanded, "Journalist Lin, if I’m not mistaken, you came here today for me."

"What’s this? Seeing Lu Sheng here and hearing she plans to join the program, you now think she’s more important than me?"

"Alright then, let me make this clear. If she’s participating, I’m not. If I’m participating, she’s out. You decide."

—What?

If Shi Yuwei joined, Lu Sheng wouldn’t be allowed to, and if Lu Sheng joined, she wouldn’t?

Journalist Lin was instantly caught in a dilemma.

These two wealthy heiresses, both topping the college entrance exam with the same perfect score, were equally popular and controversial online recently.

Both participating would naturally be ideal. But if only one could join, who should it be?

Yet while the live comments were flooding with debates over whether Shi Yuwei or Lu Sheng should stay, the Shi family’s grand doors unexpectedly creaked open once more—

This time, everyone was caught off guard as three boys and a girl walked in from outside.

The short-haired girl had an aura of cool confidence, while the red-haired boy was tall and strikingly handsome—a matching pair.

Appearing next were identical twin boys, their looks identical but their vibes distinctly different.

One had delicate features and a striking tear mole, while the other’s messy bangs carried a rebellious edge. As they approached, their stunning appearances, seemingly blessed by the Creator, left everyone watching the livestream astonished.

Holy crap, those twins are so handsome!

The moment Lu Youming and Lu Youye caught sight of Lu Sheng—especially when they noted the spilled porridge deliberately smeared over her clothes and the large scalded patch of red skin—their hearts skipped a beat.

They completely ignored everything around them, rushing hurriedly to their younger sister’s side.

And Lan Yu made an even bolder move.

She coldly grabbed a water glass from the coffee table and, without warning, threw it directly at Shi Yuwei.

Shi Yuwei was blindsided by the sudden attack, utterly shocked as water drenched her from head to toe.

She stared wide-eyed, as if struck by lightning.

But Lan Yu didn’t relent. Having doused her with water, she sarcastically tore into her:

"Oh my, Miss Shi, do you think you’re so special? Look at you threatening the show crew, making them choose between you and Shengsheng."

"Let me make this clear—the show can take you or leave you. Because if Shengsheng’s going, Lu Youming, Han Jing, and I are all joining too. If she doesn’t go, the three of us won’t either."

"You love forcing choices, don’t you? Then consider this: for the production crew, who’s more valuable—you alone, or all four of us?"
