The evil stepmother is also doing her best for the motherland today.

Chapter 78 Fireworks

Gu Minzheng rubbed the top of Xu Jingyi's hair and said with a smile: "She is thin-skinned, and she will probably run away."

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed out loud. It was rare to see him joking, so they stopped teasing. Gu Minzheng then sat next to Xu Jingyi to guide her.

After a while, Xu Jingyi turned defeat into victory and experienced the fun of playing cards. Several people at the card table saw how amazing this was and drove them away.

Just as the old lady came out to hand out red envelopes, everyone stayed until midnight and went back to their rooms.

When Xu Jingyi was taken out of the old house by the man, she was still a little confused. She looked at the man driving and asked:

"Can we go home at this time? We won't be celebrating the New Year at our old house. The children are still there."

Hearing this, Gu Minzheng looked at the person next to him and held her hand: "You will know in a moment."

In the early morning, the black sports car was running on the winding mountain road, making a roaring sound until it reached the top of the mountain. Gu Minzheng stopped the car and said to the sleepy man: "We're here, get out of the car."

Xu Jingyi opened the car door and felt a gust of cold wind blowing in. She instantly woke up, wrapped her clothes tightly, and put her hand in Gu Minzheng's.

The two of them walked for two minutes when a small wooden house appeared in front of them. At this time, it was already covered with string lights, which were twinkling and looking particularly beautiful.

There was a row of fireworks placed outside the cabin. When she noticed it, her eyes sparkled with excitement: "It's fireworks!"

As he spoke, he ran to the fireworks with unconcealable joy on his face: "Can fireworks be set off here?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I brought you here?"

The man had already stood behind her at some point. Hearing the words, he leaned over and replied in her ear.

A deep voice floated into his ears. Looking at the woman's red earlobes, Gu Minzheng raised his hand and gently twisted it.

Xu Jingyi moved her body to avoid the man and glared at him fiercely. This man now looked more and more like a peacock with its tail spread, constantly teasing her.

Avoiding the man's scorching gaze, he changed the subject: "I don't dare to set off fireworks. Gu Minzheng, please come here quickly."

Gu Minzheng smiled helplessly, took out the lighter, and said to Xu Jingyi, "Would you like to give it a try?"

Xu Jingyi was a little moved. She looked at the man and then at the fireworks. She was a little scared and said, "I'm still a little scared."

"I'm holding your hand, don't be afraid." Xu Jingyi looked up at the man, decided to believe him for once, and nodded.

Gu Minzheng grabbed her hand, and with a "click" sound, a cluster of flames burst out of the lighter. The two of them bent over the fireworks fuse at the same time, and the fuse quickly burned.

Gu Minzheng protected the person in his arms and took a few steps back. He looked at the person hiding in his arms and said comfortingly: "Look up."

Xu Jingyi listened to the sound and raised her head obediently. Amidst the "bang bang bang" sound, the gorgeous fireworks bloomed like flowers in the dark night sky.

Under the fireworks, the two hugged each other.

Lying on the bed, Xu Jingyi was reminiscing about the grand fireworks show just now. She looked at the man with unconcealed love in her eyes, and took the initiative to nestle into the man's arms: "Gu Minzheng, thank you, I like this fireworks very much."

"It will happen every year from now on."

Xu Jingyi stayed at the old house until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year before returning to the crew. The crew was busy catching up on the show just like before she left. In order to express her apology, she ordered desserts for everyone.

"Jingyi, thank you for the afternoon tea."

Xu Jingyi looked at Wang Muchuan walking towards her and rolled her eyes in her heart. She really couldn't figure out why this man didn't have any self-awareness after she made it so obvious.

"Teacher Wang, you're welcome." Faced with Xu Jingyi's indifferent attitude, Wang Muchuan's eyes flashed with a hint of haze: "Are you reading the script? If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

"Thank you, Teacher Wang."

Wang Muchuan was not discouraged, but directly reported the room number to Xu Jingyi, especially looking at her with what he thought was affectionate eyes.

This made Xu Jingyi feel extremely sick as if she had eaten a fly.

In the next few days, Wang Muchuan would come to her from time to time to increase his presence and say some misunderstandings. Gradually, rumors began to spread among the crew.

"I heard that Wang Muchuan is in love with that fourth girl. Is it true?"

"You've heard it too. I've observed over the past few days that the two of them often stay together after the show. I think it's very likely to be true."

"This girl is really powerful. She hooked up with Wang Muchuan just a few days after she came here."

"Probably a couple from the production team."

The gossip between the two gradually faded away, and Xu Jingyi walked out of the toilet cubicle door with a dark face. Thinking of what she heard just now, she now wanted to kill Wang Muchuan.

During lunch, even Wang Xu called Xu Jingyi into the conference room alone:
"Jingyi, I'm looking for you today because I want to ask you if you are in a relationship with Wang Muchuan."

Xu Jingyi was speechless: "No, how is that possible? I'm already married."

"Then you should pay attention to yourself, now the rumors have reached me."

"I know." Xu Jingyi nodded.

After leaving the conference room, Xu Jingyi went crazy, complaining to the system crazily in her heart.

"Director Wang actually suspected that I was in love with that scumbag. It's so insulting to me. Tongzi, how about you quickly apply to the main system and let me drive the scumbag out of the entertainment industry and give me points?"

"Host, actually you have been complaining to me for a long time just to earn points from me, right?"

Xu Jingyi was seen through by the system and admitted it generously: "Yes, you also know that I am short of points now, and if I drive such people out of the entertainment industry, isn't it because I have eliminated harm for the people? Shouldn't I be rewarded?"

The system felt that it did make some sense, so it went to the main system to apply for a task.

"Di, please accept the mission: drive Wang Muchuan out of the entertainment industry and rectify the chaos in the entertainment industry. 5000 reward points."

"Tongzi, I love you." After winning the reward, Xu Jingyi finally felt that the anger in her heart had subsided.

But how to expose Wang Muchuan's true face? Xu Jingyi felt that she had to make a complete plan. Before she could figure out the plan, she didn't expect that Wang Muchuan came to her.

Xu Jingyi had just returned to the hotel from the show that day when there was a knock on the door. She thought it was Xu Xin and opened the door directly: "So fast?"

"Why so fast?"

Hearing the man's voice, Xu Jingyi suddenly raised her head, looked at the person standing at the door, and frowned: "I thought it was Xu Xin, what does Teacher Wang have to do with me so late?"

"Is it convenient to go in and talk?" Wang Muchuan said, taking advantage of his height than Xu Jingyi, looking around the room.

"It's inconvenient. If Teacher Wang has anything to do, just tell me directly."

Wang Muchuan's behavior made Xu Jingyi feel completely cold, and there was no concealed impatience in her voice.
