Chapter 32

Xi Lian didn't notice Yi Tiantian at first, but when she saw her walking straight toward her, she recognized her appearance.

"Are you... the Judge of the Entertainment Industry?"

Yi Tiantian's reputation as the Judge of the Entertainment Industry had spread far and wide, even reaching singer Xi Lian.

"Honey, why are you calling me by that nickname too?"

Sitting down naturally at the table, Yi Tiantian looked up at Xi Lian with a gentle tone.

"Honey???"

Xi Lian was full of confusion. "Bro, did you get the wrong person?"

"Honey, what are you talking about? This morning I said I'd bring you to this restaurant to try bamboo shoots. Go ahead and eat."

Yi Tiantian's acting was impeccable, leaving Xi Lian stunned.

"Wait, did I time-travel?!" Xi Lian looked around, seeing everyone else eating normally, as if only she felt something was off.

"If you say I'm your husband, do you know me?"

Xi Lian began asking questions as planned. In the monitoring room, Chen Meiyu quickly called over the staff members.

"She's about to blow her cover. Watch!"

"Honey, your name is Xi Lian, your favorite color is purple, our pet corgi is named Rourou, and in three days it will be our anniversary! What's going on? Are we playing a game?"

These simple pieces of information were no challenge for Yi Tiantian, who answered smoothly.

Seeing Yi Tiantian answer so effortlessly, Chen Meiyu paused for two seconds while snacking on sunflower seeds but quickly resumed: "These questions are easy. She'll slip up on the deeper ones!"

Sunflower seed shells scattered everywhere, even landing on a young girl's freshly styled hair.

The girl took a deep breath and silently endured it.

The prank continued, and Xi Lian posed another difficult question to Yi Tiantian.

"What did we do last time we went out together?"

Earlier, Yi Tiantian had answered questions that could be found on Baidu Encyclopedia, so Xi Lian deliberately chose a question only they would know.

She didn't believe he would know such personal details!

In the monitoring room, Chen Meiyu's lips curled upward upon hearing Xi Lian's question. Pointing at the screen, she laughed, "Lao Yang, let me tell you..."

Before she could finish, Yi Tiantian's response came through the headphones.

"Yesterday, we went to celebrate your father's birthday and met his current partner."

Yi Tiantian spoke calmly, making the staff wonder if he had indeed attended the birthday party with them.

Xi Lian was the most shocked.

She had never publicly disclosed any family information, let alone her father's birthday!

How did this Yi Tiantian know?

Could he really be...

"Xi Lian's father was never responsible. He divorced her mother when Xi Lian was five, and although she was awarded to him, he never cared for her, indulging in a life of debauchery."

"Their relationship had hit rock bottom, but recently, Xi Lian's father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, leading to a slight reconciliation."

"Last night, Xi Lian attended her father's birthday party, but they argued again because she discovered his new partner seemed suspicious, possibly after his inheritance!"

"Xi Lian doesn't know that this suspicious partner is someone she used to know!"

Xi Lian stood frozen, her face devoid of expression due to shock.

She wanted to ask but found herself unable to speak or even open her mouth!

Why was she hearing Yi Tiantian's voice without him speaking?

And how did he know so much?!

Director Lao Yang, seeing Xi Lian's shocked expression, was delighted and started clapping.

"This Yi Tiantian has some real skills. Look at Xi Lian's expression—she definitely believes it!"

The other staff members, witnessing such professional pranking from a non-actor turned idol, were equally impressed.

"You're right! We picked the right guest!"

"Indeed, wherever Yi Tiantian goes, there's always buzz! This episode is bound to be a hit!"

Chen Meiyu, who had confidently predicted Yi Tiantian would slip up, now looked pale. She forced a laugh and spat out the last sunflower seed shell in frustration.

Coincidentally, it landed on the young girl's freshly styled curls.

This time, the girl couldn't hold back. Standing up, she confronted Chen Meiyu loudly, "Sis Chen, I call you sis out of respect. Do all rich people like spitting sunflower seed shells on others' hair?"

Before Chen Meiyu could react, girls she had bullied before stepped forward one by one.

"Sis Chen, I've been wanting to say this for a long time! It's not fun to create competition among us. Not everyone wants to live your stifling rich life!"

"Exactly! Each of us has our own beauty. Sis Chen, sometimes you're just too much! While criticizing our looks, have you ever noticed your own big nose?"

Chen Meiyu was left speechless by the girls in front of her and turned to Director Lao Yang for help.

One of the observant girls immediately noticed this and said, "Director, we demand a new producer!"

The other girls quickly chimed in agreement.

Chen Meiyu couldn't sit still anymore. Her position as producer had been secured through bribery and backdoor connections, and at the time, her mother-in-law had looked down on her, saying it would all be for nothing.

If she were fired now, she would have an even harder time holding her head high at home!

"Lao Yang, you can't listen to them!"

Chen Meiyu immediately pleaded.

Director Lao Yang saw that Chen Meiyu had already angered everyone. If he mishandled the situation, his own authority as director would be jeopardized.

So, he sighed and said earnestly, "Alright, Meiyu, why don't you go home and rest for a few days."

In other words, she wouldn't need to come back.

Chen Meiyu couldn't accept this reality and ended up sitting down on the ground covered with sunflower seed shells where she had just vomited.

"Sister Chen, the director has spoken; you should leave now."

A young girl reminded her.

Chen Meiyu struggled to get up from the ground as if waking from a dream and walked out with sunflower seeds still stuck to her bottom.

Her life in the wealthy family would only become more difficult from now on.

Meanwhile, the prank show had moved on to the next segment, showing Yi Tiantian heading to the restroom.

The next person to appear was Xi Lian's first love—Chen Weiyang!

The staff behind the monitors were eagerly anticipating, as this Chen Weiyang had changed significantly since the past!

Xi Lian kept taking deep breaths to calm herself down, convinced that she must have entered a parallel universe, otherwise how could she have heard Yi Tiantian's thoughts earlier!

But when she regained her composure, she saw a familiar figure approaching from the restroom.

It was none other than her father's mistress, whom she had just met yesterday!

Yi Tiantian was thrilled during the handover in the restroom.

"Xi Lian's first love, Ren Shuhao, discovered his true orientation a few years ago, underwent gender reassignment surgery in another country, and unexpectedly became her father's mistress!"
