The Female Lead Has No Cheats-Chapter 224: Li Murou Reveals Her True Self (4)
There has been much negative news about Li Murou recently. Because of a certain famous director, many celebrities all jumped out to cheer for her. Because of these people’s influence, not only didn’t Li Murou lose fans, her fans thought that the guesses about her using food additives was clearly nonsense when the two subjects came up.
There were many cursing Li Murou out under the topics as well but lots of people also endorsed her. She became famous just like that and her popularity could be compared to A or B-listing celebrities.
In reality, online celebrities’ influences weren’t much worse than the celebrities in the entertainment circle.
Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting went to pick some edible sour fruits. They got some crystal sugar and cooked a pot of sugar candy for everyone to taste.
The sugar could replenish people’s staminas so they all had some. After drinking the sweet soup, it finally repressed the foul odor. After eating, Leita glared at Li Murou and warned, “From now on, you better be well-behaved in the team. Don’t touch our food anymore. Otherwise, I’ll chop your hands off!”
This was the first time Li Murou got warned by Leita. She shrunk back in fear, feeling a bit nervous.
Her eyes teared up in order to win people’s sympathy. She kept her head down and started wiping her tears, choking out, “I don’t know why the rabbit meat became stinky. But I promise that I didn’t do anything wrong with the cooking. I can actually cook. You guys have eaten my bread and canned thick soup before, as well as the pheasant soup. You guys should know that I can cook.”
Leita wanted to shoot and end her. In a furious voice, “You dare to mention the bread and canned thick soup? It had a fishy smell, disgusting. You? A cook? Don’t humiliate the word “cook.””
This time, Zhou Qing didn’t help her either. He scolded softly, “Murou, we know you’re arrogant and you’re used to being flattered. But you need to admit the truth. You can make flashy food and satisfy the online users’ needs but in reality, your food isn’t edible.”
Li Murou felt stuffy inside. She bit her lips and said, “Please believe me. Give me another chance. I will prove myself. My father has been a chef inside the Lu Family for so many years. I’ve learned from him. How can my food not be edible? There must be something wrong with the ingredient and not my cooking…If you don’t believe me, you guys can ask Brother Ting. I’ve cooked for him when I was only a teenager. At that time, my cooking was already pretty good.”
She must show weakness right now. Only then, these guys would feel bad and wouldn’t dare to scold her anymore.
She looked pitiful, making the guys’ hearts soften.
Lu Ting was helping Lin Yueqi roll up her sleeves when he detected several gazes. He froze before saying, “I don’t remember.”
He didn’t have a good impression of Lin Murou’s food anyway. It tasted alright, yet people kept flattering it. He said that he didn’t remember because he wanted to save her the embarrassment since she knew his father.
Li Murou was speechless.
Leita waved his hands and said impatiently, “Okay, okay. We believe you. It’s the ingredients’ fault. We believe you’re a great chef, happy? Stop crying.”
Everyone was talking when there was a rustle and loud movement behind the forest.
The ground was trembling as if there was an earthquake.
Next, they heard the roaring of elephants.
They immediately stood up and an adult elephant rushed out from the forest, inching towards them.
“Mark!” Lin Yueqi was surprised. “This is Mark!”
Yet, before everyone could be happy, Mark suddenly charged into the tent despite not usually attacking people. He stomped on their tents.
Everyone panicked and scattered. Lin Yueqi and Li Murou were forced to separate from the guys, swept to the other side by the elephant.
“Run! Run in a S-line! Don’t run straight!”
Leita exclaimed. They all ran in different directions.
Lu Ting wanted to go after Lin Yueqi but Mark flung his trunk and swept him away.
Lin Yueqi and Li Murou ran into the forest. The elephant lifted a tent and tossed it in their direction.
The two girls tripped but then quickly got up. The elephant charged over. At the last second, Li Murou kicked the wood by her feet in Lin Yueqi’s direction. She stepped on it and tripped over.
Li Murou ran away without looking back. Countless seconds later, she heard Lin Yueqi’s tragic cries.
