Chapter 359: The Rest Is Only Happiness

Today is clearly not a good day to learn a foreign language.

Under Lin Yu'er's curious gaze, this Bai Liang actually adjusted his tie.

Old Zhou, who had already retreated a distance, saw this and couldn't help giving him a thumbs-up: No wonder he's Brother Liang—even "death" must be dignified!

This is the true attitude toward loving life!

Yet the reason Bai Liang is Brother Liang lies in what he does next—this truly showcases his level.

"What are you here for?"

Ni Ni looked bewildered, pointing at herself, "Me?"

"Mm~"

"Can't I come?" Under Bai Liang's serious gaze, Ni Ni was genuinely startled, feeling she might have arrived at an inopportune moment.

She had been confident before, but now her tone weakened slightly, "I just came to watch the show."

But this answer actually passed muster—Bai Liang approved of her spectator attitude.

"Then watch well~"

Ni Ni nodded dazedly, then looked left and right, moving to stand beside Lin Yu'er and even shaking her hand.

This was the best "spectator spot."

"What are you hiding here for? I looked for you everywhere just now," Jing Tian pouted, grumbling.

As she grumbled, her big eyes couldn't help glancing at Lin Yu'er and Ni Ni beside her.

She noticed the two were unusually "well-behaved," even deliberately keeping some distance, as if to say: We're just watching, we won't speak.

"I wasn't hiding—I'm standing here because it's high and gives a good view. Hey, Sister Tian Tian, your outfit today is kinda cute," Bai Liang waved his hand to explain, then seemed to light up, beginning to critique Jing Tian's dress.

Cute? It's beautiful and sexy!

Jing Tian declared she'd specifically chosen this outfit to show off her figure and finally display her cleavage, planning to engage in some female rivalry.

But on stage she ran into Zhu Dan, that freak of talent, and ended up just laughing uncontrollably.

There was nothing to be done—she simply couldn't hold back; her laugh threshold was too low. Di Li Re Ma, Chou Bi Chang! Hahaha~

So Jing Tian couldn't help asking Bai Liang, "Did you hear that thing Zhu Dan just said?"

"I heard it. And you two were laughing so hard your teeth were showing—you'll probably have embarrassing photos circulating later."

At these words, both Ni Ni and Jing Tian nearly cracked.

Embarrassing photos?!

How could that be possible!

Ni Ni even panicked, "No way—I was smiling with my lips tightly closed. How could you see my teeth?"

"I definitely covered my mouth," Jing Tian also doubted.

"Don't worry—I'll avenge you both right now!"

Those who didn't know might think Bai Liang was about to beat up or scold Zhu Dan, but he pulled out his phone and began "interrogating" Zhou Yiwei.

At this moment, Na Zha and Re Ba finally arrived late.

They were late because they'd taken time out to argue again.

Looking at Re Ba's cheerful little expression, she seemed ready to hum happily.

Na Zha, clearly still the loser this time, clenched her teeth and muttered silently to herself.

If one understood lip-reading, one would realize she was replaying the argument.

For some reason, these two seemed to have a special fondness for arguing via encrypted calls in public places.

Bai Liang imagined himself in their place and felt the same vibe as defecating on the street with a mask on.

Or like wearing a mask but leaving your mouth exposed.

That really is quite addictive.

And Na Zha, having lost the argument, was looking for a scapegoat to vent on—perfect chance to test what was going on with Jing Tian!

Re Ba: Yes, go test what's really going on.

But when they arrived, they found several little heads clustered around Bai Liang, watching his phone together.

"What are you doing?" Na Zha couldn't help asking curiously.

"You're just in time!"

Seeing the two new "sisters" arrive, Bai Liang wasn't flustered—he even waved them over, urging them to come closer: "I'm avenging you—asking Zhou Yiwei what's up with his wife."

"Zhou Yiwei… Ah! Zhu Dan's husband! Do you know him?" Na Zha asked curiously.

Ni Ni added from the side: "He just happened to film a drama with us before."

Your explanation is clear, but I don't like your answer.

Na Zha glanced at Ni Ni.

"Us?"

Who are you calling "us"? Evil woman! The worst one is you~

Re Ba had already read Na Zha clearly—seeing her expression and gaze, she could guess plenty.

She clearly has a grudge against Ni Ni.

Then came her strange move: as Na Zha glared at Ni Ni, she stepped forward gently and stood beside Na Zha.

She said nothing, only wore a faint smile.

Ni Ni:???

Wait, weren't you two just fighting?! What the hell is real here?!

But honestly, facing the combined pressure of the two new "sisters," Ni Ni couldn't hold her ground and stepped back.

You two talk, you two talk~

She mentally cursed Bai Liang: What kind of people have you gotten yourself involved with?

While these two were fiercely fighting each other, they somehow still found time to team up and "bully" someone else.

After showing off their power a bit, Na Zha and Re Ba also joined in the "interrogation" of Zhou Yiwei.

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Yiwei, after Bai Liang's explanation of what his wife had done, felt his scalp go numb.

He felt his straightened back instantly slump.

Especially since Bai Liang told him there was a "victim" right beside him.

He quickly apologized and sent over a "friendship fee," offering to treat everyone to dinner as an apology.

Then he explained that his wife had become stupid for three years after giving birth.

This statement was actually perfectly normal—after all, the role of a mother naturally earns more understanding and tolerance.

But this made Na Zha and Re Ba's eyes widen slightly.

Especially Re Ba.

Could someone really be that dumb? Wouldn't that make her even dumber than Gu Li Na Zha?

She unconsciously looked up at Na Zha and found her fellow villager staring back at her with a strange expression.

As if to say: I heard you're having three kids? Go for it! I've got your back~

Re Ba:.

She couldn't help biting her lip, unsure whether it was regret or inner turmoil.

But this gesture successfully smeared her lipstick onto her teeth.

When she smiled again, it was glaringly obvious.

"Puh~"

Na Zha couldn't hold back; she reminded her in their dialect, then watched Re Ba frantically searching for tissues, her shoulders shaking with suppressed laughter.

This was the first time Na Zha had gained the upper hand in a direct "confrontation" with Re Ba.

Though the way she won was weird, a win was still a win~

Her little mouth curled up—she was delighted! Absolutely bursting with joy.

After "handling" Re Ba, Na Zha naturally felt she should press her advantage, so she turned her fierce gaze toward Miss Jing Tian.

"Sister Tian Tian, you snatched one of my endorsements the other day."

Holy shit, she's launching an attack right away?!

Ni Ni stepped back another step.

Miss Jing Tian's signature retreat step—she herself rarely used it anymore—but it seemed to have become contagious.

But the clever can't imagine the logic of fools, especially two fools.

Hearing this, Miss Jing Tian looked puzzled. "Really? I didn't know."

"Really," Na Zha didn't get angry, nor did she suspect Miss Jing Tian was being sarcastic. "That endorsement you announced—I had it all set, then suddenly it went to you."

"Ah~ That one! A friend of mine referred it to me; I'd never contacted them before, so I truly didn't know." Miss Jing Tian said earnestly.

"Your friend's boyfriend?" Na Zha suddenly grew alert, her heart instantly stirred.

Her eyes flicked toward Bai Liang, her heart crying out bitterly: You bastard—if this is your doing, I—I—I—I'll explode on you!

If someone else snatched it, she might not be too angry.

But if Bai Liang took what might've been hers and gave it to another girl, Na Zha would cry her heart out in violent sobs tonight!

Her liver and heart would shatter into a thousand pieces~

"I—I don't have a boyfriend. A girl friend referred it to me." Miss Jing Tian quickly waved her hands.

"A girl friend?" Na Zha was deeply suspicious, wanting to press further, but felt it might be impolite to ask more.

But Miss Jing Tian volunteered the answer herself: "Her family is the Chinese agent for this brand."

So it was a connection! No problem then.

Na Zha scratched her head, silently giving the "Flower of Wealth and Honor" a thumbs-up for its prestige.

At this moment, Re Ba, having fixed her lipstick, popped up again: "Can I ask about mine—"

"Same thing."

"Miss Jing Tian, your connections are insane!" Ni Ni couldn't help exclaiming.

Miss Jing Tian instantly became wary—Ni Ni was also a bad woman in her eyes.

Ni Ni:. Fine, fine, fine—I'll retreat again. But she realized: today, Miss Jing Tian wasn't using the retreat step anymore. Her version had been updated—the retreat step had become the probe step.

This boasting about connections was clearly applying pressure.

So… when are you going to fight already?!

Without the slightest hesitation, Re Ba wanted to reclaim the ground lost in the "having babies" exchange, and Na Zha wanted to press her advantage.

She was in such good form today—perfect for tearing apart Re Ba, that shameless little bitch!

"So, just stick to promoting your chicken cutlets and milk tea. Yesterday I saw someone complain you have no fashion sense—still only one high-end endorsement. Why bother?"

"Funny—I recently saw people praising your fashion sense: how versatile your aura is, how you can pull off any style. Unlike me, poor me—I can only rely on my looks to survive. I wish I were like you."

"Yeah, being a pretty face is tiring—just an empty shell, nothing inside. Even if you poured some water in?"

"An empty shell isn't so bad—it's better than being all water. At least you're real and cute."

"Pretty face? How come your pretty face still needs squeezing?"

"."

What the hell are you two even talking about?

Miss Jing Tian was desperate—she wanted to watch the drama, but also wanted to join in.

As if sensing her "need," Re Ba glanced at her and suddenly switched to Mandarin: "I'll give you a tip—stop squeezing. The cleavage you get that way looks fake."

!

"You're the one faking it! I didn't pad anything!" Na Zha couldn't help but jump up in frustration.

"You just confessed yourself! Did I say you padded?"

"Your's is absurdly fake! Do you even have that much?! Even if you squeezed till you burst, you still wouldn't match Yang Mi's size! And I'm not like you—trying to show off while covering it up. Who are you showing off to, if you don't want anyone to see?"

"Whether I cover it or not, it's still bigger than yours, and my ass is perkier too—who am I showing it to? Guess who I'm showing it to? What, you're not happy?"

"Happy your grandma's leg! Your ass is definitely padded!"

"Um…" Miss Jing Tian couldn't hold back anymore; she'd just prepared to speak, but when both of them glanced at her, all the words she'd organized in her mind collapsed instantly.

Seeing her fall silent, Re Ba frowned. "This sister isn't any good either… Such weak combat power?"

She'd even switched to Mandarin on purpose.

Bai Da.

Miss Jing Tian felt wronged—she wasn't weak in combat power; it was just that these two were outrageous.

How did it turn into personal attacks?!

They were talking about asses and chests like this—how could anyone take it?

All one could say was that Miss Jing Tian had chosen too late to intervene.

In the past, Na Zha and Re Ba didn't argue this sharply.

It's just that the more they argued, the more they practiced.

Plus, they never escalated their arguments much, so their verbal limits kept growing wider.

The core goal was simply to strike the other hard.

Today, Na Zha was truly in top form, performing beyond her usual level—as if she got extra excited whenever there were spectators or a third party present.

Indeed, after seeing Miss Jing Tian stunned and frozen, she didn't dismiss her like Re Ba did; instead, she reached over and tugged at her sleeve. "Sister Tian Tian, help me scold her."

"That doesn't seem right…"

Seeing Miss Jing Tian about to retreat again, as if preparing a master-level backward step, Na Zha, fired up, delivered a brutal blow:

"If you don't scold her, then I'll scold you instead? Sad Frog~"

"Huh?!"

Now Miss Jing Tian truly became the Sad Frog, left speechless by a single sentence.

Where's Bai Liang? Look at who you've been associating with—

Huh? Where'd he go?!

Only then did the girls realize that Bai Liang had slipped away several meters off, chatting again with Lin Wuer.

For a moment, none of the girls knew whether to curse the Korean girl or Bai Liang, that irresponsible guy.

Damn it.

After being caught and dragged back, he still spoke with full confidence:

"There's a foreign friend here—I was afraid she'd overhear your 'classified conversations,' so I deliberately sent her away. She's gotten really good at Mandarin now."

"Us? Classified?" Na Zha laughed.

Ah~ you just don't get it.

How could the entertainment industry have no 'classified' information?

Didn't one movie involve so many classified lines that, to protect the nation's secrets, they handwrote the scripts, and even when memorizing lines, they had to watch their surroundings, never letting foreign actors see them—once a foreign actor approached, they quickly hid the script.

Though no one knows why they'd turn such 'classified' material into a movie—maybe they had their reasons.

But audiences still dare not watch, afraid of leaking secrets~

Still, compared to the movie's 'classified' content, Bai Liang's words actually had some logic.

Re Ba agreed.

It wasn't that she was love-struck; she just thought if Lin Wuer really heard and later blabbed to the media or reenacted it vividly on a variety show back home, the chaos would be enormous.

It could easily become a huge scandal.

They'd been so caught up in the fight, they'd forgotten there was this unpredictable factor right there.

As for Miss Jing Tian and Unlike Ni Ni, they didn't care much—they definitely wouldn't blab.

Re Ba could tell that this little hometown girl of hers, though always getting the worse of it in front of her, seemed quite capable of handling others.

Laughable—some people actually fall for love-struck fools.

These were Re Ba's inner thoughts, but since she was still wearing her "Gu Li Na Zha" mask, she came up with another love-struck excuse:

Brother's right! Whatever you say, I believe it!

After abandoning intelligence, all that's left is joy~

Indeed, the real Na Zha beside her wore an expression that clearly said, "I love how you lie with your eyes wide open," patted Bai Liang once, then pouted and huffed: "You're getting worse and worse… I'll settle accounts with you later~"

Pouting, pouting, is it?!

Settle accounts? You'll forget this in five minutes, you love-struck fool.

Still, seeing Lin Wuer standing beside Bai Liang, smiling brightly, it was clear this fight couldn't continue.

Because the other girl had zero sense—she stubbornly refused to leave.

At that moment, the number of people silently cursing Lin Wuer might have reached three or four.

Almost everyone was cursing her—and this concentrated wave of resentment made Lin Wuer involuntarily cover her face and sneeze.

——

Brother Liang is awesome!

Lao Zhou, hiding at a distance, had been watching this scene all along.

But he couldn't hear what the girls were saying—only that it seemed like there'd been a pretty intense moment in the middle.

In the end, our Liangge still took the opportunity to slip away and keep flirting with Lin Yue'er at that moment.

His guts have grown so fat they've burst past the sky!

Old Zhou thought long and hard, and felt he'd almost certainly get slapped today—maybe even more than once.

Yet in the end, everything somehow calmed down again for no reason.

Bullshit!

Old Zhou came to remind Bai Liang to go on stage.

Unlike the girls who took the stage together, Bai Liang was going on alone.

Maximum prestige.

It would also be a good chance to dodge this "hellish scene" for a bit.

Originally, Old Zhou had thought so—but after reminding Bai Liang to go on stage, he noticed Lin Yue'er had quietly slipped away too.

Then Zhu Dan and Reba started up again.

After hearing just a few words, Old Zhou broke into a sweat and quickly fled.

Fuck!

These two girls were screaming at each other so fiercely, yet they still hadn't thrown a punch—it was truly a miracle.

By the way, Zhu Dan didn't mispronounce Bai Liang's name at all.

This was her best performance of the night.

Not only did she get his name right, she even recited his full list of honors and achievements flawlessly.

This left some contestants hoping for drama a little disappointed.

When the time was nearly up and the event was about to end, Old Zhou went ahead to call a car and waited for Bai Liang inside.

After waiting a while, a figure suddenly opened the car door and got in.

"Hey."

"Shh~ I'm with him today. When he comes up, don't tell him—give him a surprise."

The person who got in spoke lightly, but Old Zhou could only grimace and immediately called Xiao Qi.

Time to work!

No paparazzi allowed in the hotel parking lot!

Two more minutes passed, and Bai Liang got in the car.

He was just about to say something to Old Zhou when a pair of hands suddenly covered his eyes from behind the seat.

"I've been waiting for you so long~"

"Huh? Who is it?"

"It's me—Reba~"
