An Empress's Return to the Present: The Real Young Lady's Strong Comeback-Chapter 2: Meeting Ji Yao Again

Gu Xiao wished she could crumple the script and stuff it into the production team's mouths. When she thought of what had happened in her previous life, her entire person turned cold. After all, in her previous life, she had been a female emperor. She already had a dignified aura even when she wasn't angry.

However, she did not do so. She could not expose her sharpness like this. She wanted to change her fate and expose the hypocrisy of these capitalists.

The production team did not arrange for the children to get to know each other tonight. The official ice-breaking would be tomorrow morning.

"Go in after you're done looking around." The director shouted, "The entire program will be broadcast live. All departments, get ready! Three, two, one, start filming!"

The spotlights was aimed at them. They walked into the villa together. At this moment, the bullet screen was already filled with comments.

[As expected, the children from the city are more elegant. You can tell just by looking at their clothes.]

[That's right. Look, the children from the countryside are all dressed in shabby clothes. They look completely out of place with the style of this villa.]

[The rural villages are poor, and there is nothing that they can do about it. I, on the other hand, feel that they're quite pitiful.]

Gu Xiao walked into the villa. She did not act like a fool like what was instructed in her script. Instead, she looked timid and stood at the door, not knowing what to do.

Actually, Gu Xiao was good-looking. She had almond-shaped eyes and a sharp nose. Her eyes were as clear as water. When she smiled, there were two shallow dimples on her cheeks. She was very sweet and cute. At this moment, she was a little shy. Her frightened look magnified her cuteness in front of the camera. Moreover, it was considered a normal reaction. The audience could accept it.

In addition, the children from the city did not know their scripts. A girl comforted Gu Xiao and led her into the house.

Gu Xiao remembered that her name was Lin Xue. She was a good girl in her previous life, but unfortunately, she became Ji Yao's stepping stone.

In an instant, the comments were all praising Lin Xue for her high EQ. Moreover, Gu Xiao was very cute and amiable. As for the few rural children who followed the script, their words were unpleasant. However, it was the first time that rural children came to such a big villa. It was understandable that participating in a large variety show like this, they would feel afraid. They could only blame the screenwriter for not thinking of it.

Moreover, the live broadcast had already begun. It was too late to stop it. They could only let the situation develop uncontrollably.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Ji Yao. It's our first time meeting. I'm looking forward to spending these three months with everyone!"

Ji Yao's script was for her to make suggestions and build a dignified and multi-skilled image for herself. She would know when and what to do at all times.

She continued, "It's getting late. Let's make a simple dinner and then take a shower and sleep!"

Everyone nodded in unison, including Gu Xiao.

Ji Yao smiled sweetly and opened the fridge to take out tomatoes, eggs, and some noodles. She had just learned how to make tomato and egg noodles before coming here. Now was the time for her to show her skills.

Just as she was cooking, the comments section became lively again.

[I heard that Ji Yao's family is quite rich. I didn't expect her to know how to cook!]

[Favor +1.]

[And she's very good-looking too; I love her.]

When she was cooking, the camera did not give her a close-up shot because she was too flustered. One moment, the tomatoes fell, and the next moment, the eggs were not beaten properly. After all, if these scenes were broadcasted, it would ruin her image.

Not long after, a few bowls of tomato egg noodles were served. The smell was not bad, and the cameraman hurriedly went to find the best bowl to film. The director saw that the praises on the bullet screen were about to overflow, so he waved his hand and asked the cameraman to turn the camera to film everyone eating.

However, the children's expressions were a little ugly. The smell was a little strange…

A girl from the city team looked up at Ji Yao and then at the director. She frowned. If she didn't taste wrong, Ji Yao seemed to have added sugar instead of salt! It tasted terrible!

All the children from the city looked troubled, including Ji Yao, but she did not show it.

On the other hand, the children from the countryside ate heartily. They did not care what they ate or if it was delicious. As long as there was food, it was fine. A girl even really followed the script and ate with her hands.

Thus, she received a bunch of negative comments.

[It's so disgusting. Why did she eat with her hands directly?]

[Village people are so ignorant. They probably eat at home like this too.]

[The children from the city are so elegant. They are all taking small bites.]

The scene was gradually becoming peaceful, but that girl couldn't eat anymore. She shouted, "Ji Yao, you've added sugar instead of salt, right? It's so disgusting!"

"I think so too!" Lin Xue also said. At this moment, the comments started flooding again.

[I see. I was thinking that the urban children are so elegant.]

[But from the looks of it, the children from the countryside are not picky at all.]

[This is how city people are. They're pampered and spoiled.]

[Then why didn't Ji Yao say anything? She's too prideful. If you don't have the skills, don't be in the limelight.]

At this moment, the director's expression was even uglier than if he had eaten sh*t.

Gu Xiao looked up at the girl who suggested that the food was not delicious and said softly, "I think Ji Yao is very impressive… Actually, it just tastes different from what she usually eats. It's not especially bad."

As Gu Xiao spoke, she picked up the noodles with her chopsticks and took small bites. "And if it weren't for Ji Yao's noodles, we might have gone hungry tonight!" With that, she smiled at Ji Yao.

Ji Yao's embarrassed expression improved a little as she looked at Gu Xiao gratefully. 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

[Oh my god! How can there be such a sensible child!]

[So cute, so warm, and so considerate!]

[Why are the people in the city pretending to be so precious? If you don't like it, don't eat it. If you have the ability, cook it yourself. It's already good enough for you to have food.]

The director looked at the comments and did not know what to do. Firstly, this was indeed promoting Ji Yao, but Gu Xiao's reputation and popularity were too good now. This was not what he wanted to see.

Of course, Gu Xiao knew very well that the situation had changed. After all, the director's expression was obvious. The uglier his expression was, the more praise Gu Xiao would receive and the more popular she would be.

However, this was nothing. Gu Xiao finished the last mouthful of soup and suddenly remembered that Ji Yao seemed to be very touched just now. She could not help but laugh mentally. After all, her revenge had yet to begin.
