Variety shows are crazy but don't cause internal conflict; I'm proud to drive others crazy

Chapter 9 Who is pulling the strings behind the scenes and stealing her luck?

"Just a few days ago!"

That day, Song Shixing had just returned from a competition abroad and found Song Wanwan wiping away tears at home.

Although he hadn't spent much time with this younger sister and their relationship wasn't deep, she was still family, so out of politeness he asked what was going on.

Song Wanwan said she was extorted for five million yuan and that she was also falsely accused of being a mistress online.

At first, Song Shixing was furious and wanted to help Song Wanwan get revenge, but after asking her older brother, she found out that it wasn't just rumors that Song Wanwan was a mistress; she was the mistress.

She was crying at home that day because her older brother scolded her when she got home, and he made her cry.

Song Shixing was speechless, so he ignored Song Wanwan on the show and pretended not to know her.

However, because of the incident where Song Wanwan was extorted for five million, Song Shixing didn't have a good impression of Jiang Nanxi, which is why he made sarcastic remarks just now.

Song Shixing was recalling what happened that day when he saw Jiang Nanxi take out her phone and play a recording for him on the spot.

Song Wanwan's voice came through the recording.

"Jiang Nanxi, a nobody like you will only drag Shen Lan down. Stop bothering Shen Lan and lest you ruin her future! Consider this money a handout. Stay away from Shen Lan from now on!"

The recording was played repeatedly at the guesthouse, and not only Song Shixing heard it, but everyone else did too.

Jiang Nanxi scoffed, "Did you hear that? That money was given to me by your sister to make me leave Shen Lan."

At that time, Shen Lan and I hadn't broken up yet. Not only did she get together with Shen Lan, but she also made things difficult for me every day. In all my years, I've never seen such an arrogant mistress.

Do you rich people all think that being rich is the only right way, and that having money means you should have everything? And that we poor people deserve nothing?

"of course not."

Song Shixing frowned and said, "This isn't how the Song family raises its children. My sister was indeed wrong in what she did."

The audience members who heard the recording were also shocked.

[My goodness, Song Wanwan seems like a pure, kind, and understanding girl on the surface, but who would have thought she's actually a street hustler behind the scenes.]

[I don't understand why Song Wanwan, who is already the daughter of the Song family, would still become a mistress, especially a "toothpick guy's" mistress. Are there no men left in this world?]

[I feel a bit sorry for Jiang Nanxi. Her boyfriend cheated on her with a rich woman, and she was humiliated by the rich woman and almost got banned across the entire internet. Anyone would go crazy.]

[Song Wanwan even drove Jiang Nanxi to commit suicide at the company entrance before, she's really inhuman!]

Song Wanwan and Shen Lan had the lowest scores. They were the first to choose their tasks after everyone else had chosen, leaving them with only two of the most difficult and tiring tasks that yielded the fewest points.

The two were currently working hard in the field under the scorching sun, completely unaware that Jiang Nanxi had leaked the recording.

Song Wanwan was unaware that she was being heavily criticized by the audience, and she still wanted to try her best to perform well while hoeing the ground in order to win back her public image.

Inside the guesthouse at this time.

Song Shixing sat in his seat, frowning. He was losing his mood to do the task and couldn't understand why his younger sister was such a person.

His younger sister was lost when she was little, and their parents also passed away in an accident five years ago, but his older brother and he have never given up looking for her.

God knows how happy he was when his sister was found. Both he and his older brother wanted to give her the best things in the world and grant her all her requests.

Given the Song family's power and wealth, they were able to meet most of her demands.

One day, Song Wanwan hit a classmate with her car, sending her to the hospital because the classmate said something that made her uncomfortable. Her older brother then realized he couldn't unconditionally indulge all her demands, otherwise their Song family might be raising a murderer. Therefore, he became increasingly strict with Song Wanwan.

Because of this incident, Song Shixing became distant from Song Wanwan and was no longer as enthusiastic towards her.

Later, Song Shixing was busy with the World Championships and didn't have much contact with Song Wanwan. Most of the time, he got news about her online.

Unexpectedly, just after winning the world championship and returning home, he saw the trending headline that his younger sister had been caught cheating on him.

Seeing Song Shixing's furrowed brows and troubled expression, a thoughtful look flashed in Jiang Nanxi's eyes.

She divined that Song Wanwan had stolen her luck, but Song Wanwan was just an ordinary person; how could she possibly steal someone else's luck?
Could it be that the Song family is helping her?
Thinking of this, Jiang Nanxi's gaze toward Song Shixing turned somewhat cold.

If it really was the Song family helping Song Wanwan borrow luck behind the scenes, she would definitely not let them off the hook.

"Let's move on to the next task."

Jiang Nanxi put the food in the guesthouse's refrigerator and then dragged Li Chu along to do the mission.

Besides making money, there was another reason why she insisted on going on this variety show: Song Wanwan would also be on the show.

She doesn't yet know who is behind Song Wanwan's borrowed luck, so naturally she has no way of knowing how they stole her fortune.

However, if Song Wanwan is disgraced, despised, and loses everything, the luck-borrowing formation will lose its effect, allowing her to find a way to regain her luck.

"The second task is to feed the pigs. That should be easy, right? The previous task really scared me. Those 100 points are hard to come by."

Li Chu's voice came from the side.

Jiang Nanxi looked at the location of the pigsty and found that it was next to a small river in the village.

She told Li Chu, "When you go over there later, stay away from that river. You've been having bad luck with anything related to water lately."

"The little river?"

Li Chu looked towards the stream and saw a woman washing clothes in it. The water was shallow, only reaching the woman's knees.

"The fortune teller also told me to stay away from water recently, but this river is so shallow, it shouldn't drown, right?"

Just as Li Chu finished speaking, a villager passing by said, "Don't be fooled by how shallow this river is; people can still drown here. Someone drowned here before."

It is said that the woman was washing clothes in the river, her body bent over, when suddenly something grabbed her hair and pulled her head into the river, whereupon she drowned.

When they found her, she was still standing in the river, but bent over with her head submerged. Her death was so strange! The village elders said it was a water ghost from the upstream reservoir that couldn't find a replacement, so it swam down to find one!

Li Chu was startled and pointed at the woman washing clothes in the river, saying, "Then why is she still washing clothes there? Isn't she perfectly fine?"

“It’s midday now, when the sun is at its strongest. Water ghosts wouldn’t dare show themselves. Of course, it’s fine to wash clothes at this time. Later, when the sun isn’t so strong, you two should stay away from that river. People in our village don’t usually wash clothes here.”

"Ok."

Jiang Nanxi walked beside Li Chu. She looked up at the mountains surrounding the village and frowned.

She saw a thick cloud covering the mountainside, and she sensed a strong yin energy emanating from it.

Jiang Nanxi suddenly realized, "No wonder there are so many strange things happening in this small mountain village. It turns out there are some very powerful evil spirits lingering nearby."
