After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 413: Thinking of You Every Minute and Every Second

Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Thinking of You Every Minute and Every Second

Lu Sheng and the others didn’t watch the live broadcast at that time.

So they didn’t know that ever since Lu Sheng had said in front of the camera that the servant admitted Shi Yuwei had purposely ordered her to spill the porridge...

This reversal completely changed the direction of opinion in the live broadcast room.

With the two of them appearing together on camera, the more Shi Yuwei dressed elegantly and chic, the more it made Lu Sheng, in her sleepwear with no makeup and covered in porridge, seem pitiful.

Just moments ago, Shi Yuwei’s image in the eyes of the netizens was that of the pure and perfect wealthy heiress. In the next instant, she turned into a scheming woman who calculates against others and smears them to prop herself up.

The most important part—

When Shi Yuwei told the journalists to end the live broadcast, it turned out the broadcast wasn’t cut off, and she showed her true colors on the spot. Her expressions and tone inside and outside the camera were completely different.

Her attitude was not just arrogant; she openly targeted Lu Sheng. She even threatened the production team to make a choice, saying that it’s either her or Lu Sheng, but never both. She was downright fierce.

This must be the real face of the Shi family’s eldest daughter behind closed doors.

Without the live broadcast, it was clear at a glance who was being bullied and targeted between her and Lu Sheng.

At this point, some people who were initially skeptical of Lu Sheng and thought she was deliberately slandering Shi Yuwei now unequivocally stood on Lu Sheng’s side.

So, just as the netizens felt indignant and believed Shi Yuwei was a conniving woman, Lan Yu and the others suddenly burst in.

When Lan Yu splashed that glass of water, it felt as if she had splashed it directly onto the hearts of the netizens.

It was absolutely cool.

And later when Lu Youye embraced Lu Sheng and unleashed his unrestrained support, it made the girls scream crazily.

Who wouldn’t want a brother like this—overprotective, tall, handsome, and not willing to let his little sister suffer even the tiniest grievance? And not just one, but two of them!

Too cool, too enviable.

In the room, the group scrolled through the comments on Weibo and found that most of them were condemning Shi Yuwei, which reassured them.

Lan Yu rolled her eyes and said, "Serves Shi Yuwei right to be criticized."

"I initially thought, since both she and Shengsheng scored full marks, she might be a capable, kind academic overachiever and could become good friends and sisters with Shengsheng. Turns out, she’s just terrible."

At the mention of the word "academic overachiever," Lu Sheng thought of Qingmang TV’s new variety show.

Before coming to Beijing, she, Lu Youming, Lan Yu, and Han Jing had all received invitations from the production team.

But at the time, the team said over the phone that the show’s content and process were temporarily confidential. After confirming participation, everything would be disclosed once everyone gathered.

No script, no preparation allowed. All they knew was that it invited the top thirty scorers of this year’s college entrance exam nationwide—academic elites and intellectual prodigies—together. It was said to test participants’ IQ, memory, teamwork, and other skills.

Initially, Lu Sheng and the others were quite intrigued by the mysterious variety show, but upon learning that it would be broadcast live, all four of them declined.

But now...

Recalling the words Lan Yu had said earlier to back her up, Lu Sheng said, "I wasn’t just casually saying it on camera. I really plan to join that show."

Lu Sheng glanced at her Fourth Brother, "If I go, my Fourth Brother will definitely go with me. But Lan Yu, you and Han Jing, if you don’t really want to join, don’t feel pressured to go just to accompany me."

As soon as Lu Sheng finished speaking, Lan Yu immediately responded, "I’m in, Shengsheng. I already had an interest in the show, but since you didn’t want to go, I didn’t go either. Now that you want to join, it’s perfect. As for Han Jing..."

"Same here," Han Jing answered quickly. "I’ve got nothing better to do this summer anyway. Let’s join together."

Of course, Han Jing was going for Lan Yu’s sake.

Since everything was settled, Lu Sheng said, "I remember the production team mentioned the gathering time is in two days. They’ll probably contact us shortly."

Sure enough, not long after, the production team called.

They confirmed once again whether the four of them were joining the show, then sent the time and place for the gathering to each participant.

-

At noon.

Lin Fangling was being kept from food, Shi Chengyun sulked and didn’t come down, Shi Yuwei claimed she wasn’t feeling well, and Shi Suxin stormed out in anger earlier that morning.

Lunch at the Shi family house was free from annoying people and scheming, making it a relatively pleasant meal.

Lu Sheng shared with Lu Youye about how Shi Mingxiu and Shi Erya had taken care of her, so Lu Youye begrudgingly apologized to the two elders during lunch.

In the afternoon, after Lu Sheng finished giving Old Mr. Shi his acupuncture treatment and watched the servant prepare the medicine, the group headed off to the Lan Family estate.

Lan Yu’s family was based in Beijing, and the Lan Family was a notable family here.

However, Lan Yu’s father did business overseas, her sister was studying abroad, and her mother was busy with work and hadn’t been home for the past few days. Thus, the spacious villa had no adults around, and the atmosphere was naturally relaxed.

The five of them spent the entire afternoon playing Texas Hold’em poker, and in the end, Lu Youye was the only one losing, gambling almost everything away.

Lan Yu enthusiastically offered to let them stay the night, so Lu Sheng called Shi Erya to let her know she’d be staying at the Lan Family’s house tonight.

Lan Yu arranged for Lu Sheng to stay in the guest room next to hers, while the three boys were assigned separate rooms.

Soon, the night descended.

After taking a shower, Lu Sheng put on the cute pink pajamas Lan Yu had prepared for her and lay down on the bed.

The quietness of the room at night was almost eerie, with only the rustling wind outside the window. It gave off a faint sense of loneliness.

Lu Sheng had no idea that at this same time, back at the Shi Family, the servant who spilled the porridge earlier was nervously entering Shi Yuwei’s room, facing the girl’s grim gaze.

She simply stared at her phone, her eyes lingering on the single pinned contact in her WeChat list, lost in her thoughts.

No unread messages.

Though she knew her lover was busy with work—and it was she who had told him not to stay in Beijing to accompany her and instead return to focus on his company—

Seeing that Li Muchen hadn’t messaged her at all today still left Lu Sheng feeling a pang of melancholy.

She sent him a text saying, [I’m going to sleep now], but after waiting for a while, there was no response.

What was once disappointment soon turned into irritation.

Frustrated, she set her phone to silent mode, flipped it over onto the bedside table, and closed her eyes to sleep.

She fell asleep, still fuming.

Yet, she didn’t know how much time had passed.

In her drowsiness, she felt something cool and soft touch the spot on her collarbone where the porridge had burned her earlier in the day.

A gentle kiss—an act of heartfelt care. A tender caress that was both intoxicating and slightly painful. Irresistible, tempting her to lean closer.

A tingling sensation spread through her body, familiar yet enrapturing. Before her mind could fully wake, a faint moan escaped her lips.

"Mmm..."

"I’m sorry, baby. I got here late."

The man’s voice was deep. He moved his lips from her collarbone to her ear and then gently kissed her forehead in restrained affection.

Strong arms wrapped around her completely, dispelling all the fatigue he had felt since arriving back in Beijing. Everything melted away.

He only felt his heart fill up as if it couldn’t contain how much love it held for her.

There was nothing more important than holding his lover and staying by her side.

"Everything in Jiang City has been taken care of. From now on, I’ll only focus on the new company in Beijing. I’ll stay in Beijing with you."

"Don’t push me away anymore..."

He hugged her tighter, burying his face in her neck. "Every minute we’re apart, I miss you. I don’t want to leave you again."
