CHAPTER 802: CHAPTER 792: IT’S ALL OVER

When something like this happens, the planned gathering for tea and chat was naturally canceled.

Since things have come to light, everyone didn’t stay long in Su Ya and Su Linlin’s room. After the director left, they all came out too.

Wei Minmin’s hot temper still hadn’t cooled down. Even after coming out, she kept mumbling, "I’m so pissed, I’m so pissed..."

No one dared to stroke the tiger’s beard at this moment, and they hurried to help Pei Shuxing make some hangover soup.

As for Su Jincheng, his assistant has taken over now.

Jiang Lingxi felt like her ears were going to get calloused from Wei Minmin’s nagging, so she simply asked for some freshly boiled hot water and made a pot of soothing tea. "Have a cup of tea, calm down."

Wei Minmin plopped down and took the teacup Jiang Lingxi handed her, about to drink, when she saw Su Ya coming in from outside. Su Ya pursed her lips but greeted her politely, "Ms. Su."

Su Ya gave her a forced smile and quickly returned to her room.

Watching the door close, "Su Ya really got a rough deal from her niece this time. But she deserved it; she shouldn’t have let Su Linlin join this show in the first place."

Jiang Lingxi also poured herself a cup of soothing tea, took a sip, "After this incident, Su Ya should leave the program team as well."

"Ah? That can’t be, right?"

"Even though everyone knows Su Ya was completely unaware of today’s incident, since the one who messed up, Su Linlin, is her niece, she’s not exactly innocent. Everyone has to pay for the decisions they make."

Wei Minmin lowered her eyes and thought about it, "That’s true, if Su Ya stays, it’ll be awkward with Su Jincheng in close quarters, one of them should leave. Su Ya not having the upper hand means it’s more likely she’ll go."

"She should have already told the director she’d voluntarily withdraw."

"That aunt and niece duo, one knows too much about dealing with people, and the other not at all. The contrast is really striking!"

"The rest is not our concern. Hurry up and drink, finish and go to sleep!"

"Oh oh oh."

Yu Chang returned to the living room to get something, and happened to see the fiery-tempered Tyrant Dragon turn into a docile little lamb in a flash. As he left with his things, he couldn’t help but cast a look of admiration at Jiang Lingxi.

In the room.

After everyone left, Su Lin wanted to take a shower in the bathroom.

Since she was saved and brought ashore, she only had time to change out of her wet clothes, first got checked by the medical team, and then was grilled back and forth by that crazy woman Wei Minmin.

She felt that her whole body still smelled like lake water and mud below, and she could no longer stand it.

Just as she sat up, Su Ya pushed the door open and came in. It was the first time the aunt and niece had locked eyes after the incident.

Facing that pair of eyes filled with unprecedented coldness, Su Linlin almost instinctively shrank her head.

"Aunt, Auntie?"

Su Ya not only had cold eyes but also a cold tone, "What do you think you’re doing?"

"Shower, shower, I want to wash off, I really stink!"

Considering there were people outside just one door away, Su Ya could only lower her voice and curse, "You deserve it!"

"Originally it was all..."

Su Linlin still wanted to argue a bit, but Su Ya was already too lazy to listen, afraid she might lose her temper and hit someone.

"Hurry up and go."

Now that she mentioned it, Su Ya realized the room was filled with the stench of lake water and mud.

Looking at the bed Su Linlin had lain on, her face changed again.

The bed was, after all, where she and Su Linlin would sleep together, and even if it was just for that one night, it still felt so unpleasant!

Watching Su Linlin’s back as she darted into the bathroom, she couldn’t help but mutter, "In my past life, I must have owed her a lot!"

Su Linlin would have loved to scrub off a layer of her skin, but knowing her aunt was waiting outside, she hurriedly showered and came out.

Su Ya had already clumsily changed to a new set of bed linens and lit some calming incense, sitting on a chair waiting for Su Linlin to come out.

When she popped out, Su Ya directly notified her, "Tomorrow morning, you’re leaving with me."

Su Linlin was stunned, "Auntie, you’re leaving too?"

Her departure was planned, and with this incident, she didn’t dare stay on the show any longer.

But Auntie was a regular guest, how come she’s leaving with her too?

Su Ya looked at her brainless expression and started doubting if she’d been wearing an aunt filter before, or else how could she find this girl so foolish now? Irritably, she said, "You caused such a big mess, and you think Su Jincheng would act as if nothing happened? I have no face to stay on the show, we both have to leave tomorrow. The director agreed as well."

In her anger, she berated herself too.

Su Linlin felt a chill at the mention of Su Jincheng, sensing there would be more trouble.

Weakly, she asked, "But isn’t he fine?"

Su Ya couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "If he has anyone to thank, it’s Jiang Lingxi, what does it have to do with you? Oh, by the way, be prepared, Su Jincheng’s side probably won’t let this go."

Su Linlin suddenly froze, "Wh... what do you mean by won’t let this go?"

"Su Jincheng’s team isn’t easy to mess with; they’re ruthless enough to sue their own fans. I don’t know much about his family background, but from what people in the industry say, it’s not ordinary. Now with this incident, do you think his team and family will just move on? Also, the director just told me they’d cut all your scenes, not as a suggestion, but as a notice."

Even though it was a warm summer night, Su Linlin felt a chill seeping from her bones through her whole body.

And she truly felt regret.

With all her aunt had said, the conclusion was pretty much summed up in two words: It’s over.

She’s finished!

*

Neither the aunt nor the niece could sleep well, tossing and turning in bed, while on Su Jincheng’s side, a bowl of hangover soup finally got him sober.

He opened his eyes to see his assistant’s large face looming.

He pushed him back a bit, "Why are you here?"

"Chen, you’re finally awake. You got duped by that bitch Su Linlin; she put alcohol in the old duck stew!"

Su Jincheng was still a beat slow, but his mind was starting to work, and he frowned at the words, "I can’t even drink soup with alcohol in it?"

Assistant: "..."

Is that the point? Is that really the point?

"You should look at this first." With that, he handed over the prepared tablet.

Given that drunk people often can’t recall what happened when they were intoxicated, the director proactively provided that segment of the video without needing Su Jincheng’s assistant to ask.

Su Jincheng sat up, took the tablet, looked at the small courtyard at night on the screen, and based on the information he just got from his assistant, gently pressed play.

The video wasn’t long, just a few minutes from the event to Su Linlin getting kicked into the lake, and it was over quickly.

His expression didn’t change during that time, but the assistant standing in front of him secretly touched his arm where the hair had suddenly stood up.
