Chapter 181: Caught Between Two Men

“Sister Jiang Sui,” Qin Ze stepped directly in front of Jiang Sui and obediently called out to her.

Jiang Sui took a step back, keeping her distance.

In the chat room:

“Are you seriously stepping back like that?”

“Hahaha, Jiang Sui: Don’t come any closer!!”

“Is this what restrained love looks like? I’m really crying, girls!”

“Who understands? Who understands? He called her sister!!”

Xu Manman raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, “I didn’t expect little brother Qin Ze to show up too.”

The three of them were familiar faces from the crew, so they were much more at ease with each other than with others.

Bai Xixue stepped forward, her gaze fixed on Qin Ze as she smiled, “I wanted to invite Qin Ze to play games before, but unfortunately, I didn’t have him as a friend.”

Only then did Qin Ze look at her. “I usually don’t add contacts except for work. Among female stars, I’ve only added Sister Sui Sui.”

Jiang Sui frowned.

Is Qin Ze doing this on purpose?

Could it be that his company devised a marketing strategy for him to stir up CP rumors with her?

“Oh~ then let’s add each other later, so you can join me for games, big sister will call you,” Bai Xixue said plaintively. “If you refuse me, I’ll be really sad.”

Qin Ze just smiled politely, offering no reply.

Jiang Sui’s face remained expressionless: Having a husband but still so flirtatious, aren’t you afraid your CEO husband will beat you up when you get home?

Oh... In the original script, Ji Sicheng was often jealous, and whenever he got jealous, he would grab Bai Xixue by the neck and mess with men connected to her.

Should she warn Qin Ze to be careful? That woman is trouble!

At that moment, the host’s voice rang out.

“Next up is our mysterious guest!”

Jiang Sui shifted her gaze from Bai Xixue toward the direction of the mysterious guest.

She really had no idea who this guest could be.

Seven celebrities had appeared so far, so this mysterious guest should be the eighth.

Or perhaps not a celebrity at all.

This person had even been specially introduced by the host.

“That is Jiang Xicheng, the young master of Wanhe Group! At the same time, he is the CEO of MK Company, the regional agent for ‘Hero Glory’ in the M district!”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked toward the newcomer.

But Jiang Sui felt something was off about the name...

Wanhe Group...

Isn’t that her father’s family’s company?

When Jiang Xicheng appeared, Jiang Sui’s brow tightened slightly.

A Maserati owner?

Today, his hair was dyed black again, so he looked somewhat more normal than when she last saw him.

He wore a slightly formal outfit, exuding the aura of a top-tier rich second-generation elite.

---

Jiang Xicheng noticed her the moment he appeared.

That excited, shining look in his eyes...

Still somewhat silly.

Had he recognized her?

“The young master Jiang just returned from abroad, and since he has a close connection to our game, he is our special guest this time. He’ll join us in the All-Star Match. Let’s give a warm welcome!”

After the host finished, Jiang Xicheng introduced himself and then walked directly to Jiang Sui’s side.

Though he said nothing, he could barely contain his excitement, tiptoeing slightly and stealing glances her way.

Then, in a very low voice, “Hehe...”

Jiang Sui: “...”

With Qin Ze on her left and Jiang Xicheng on her right, she felt very conflicted.

One was sillier than the other.

Everyone, having two men on both sides, can anyone understand?

She could only take a few more steps back to avoid scandal.

In the chat room:

“Wuwuwu, she stepped back so far just to avoid standing next to other men. Who’s shipping this, I won’t say.”

“Sui Bao: Don’t come near me!!!”

“Why is Jiang Xicheng sticking so close to Sui Sui? Is this the charm of a beauty?”

After returning that day, Jiang Xicheng happened to see someone watching the parent-child variety show Jiang Sui participated in and also saw Lu Xuanyuan.

That’s how he recognized Jiang Sui.

He had nothing else to do after coming back, so he accepted the show’s invitation and rushed over when he heard Jiang Sui was there.

“All right, everyone’s here. Next is the team captains’ selection round. Please welcome the captains of the four major teams!”

As the four captains appeared, the chat exploded with excitement.

“Shen Li, ahhh, my god of bursting ADC!”

“Go, Li Ge! Don’t pick rookies!”

“Please, let Li Ge pick Bai Xixue! Although she’s not that great a person, she’s good at games!”

The four captains sat in a row and began picking players.

Among them, Shen Li’s appearance was the most outstanding, instantly becoming the focus of all eyes.

Shen Li looked at Jiang Sui and raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Sui touched her nose, feeling like Shen Li’s face was practically shouting: ‘Look how awesome I am!’

Bai Xixue crossed her arms confidently, standing there and suddenly giving Shen Li a playful smile.

The other three captains all turned their gaze to her, ready for a battle to snatch her up.

But Jiang Sui saw through Bai Xixue’s intentions—she wanted to join the Reversal Wind team.

Moreover, she noticed that Bai Xixue seemed to fancy every handsome man.

In the original script, Bai Xixue was also loved by many men.

Though she had a CEO husband, she still earned the affection of entertainment circle’s top actors, rising stars, and business moguls like Jiang Lai. Jiang Sui didn’t believe Bai Xixue lacked something special.

Shen Li’s gaze skipped over Bai Xixue and landed on Jiang Sui. Smiling with narrowed eyes, he beckoned her over with a finger, “Sis, come here.”

Shen Li’s condition for participating in this show was that he must pick first.

Jiang Sui’s lips curved slightly as she walked to Shen Li’s side.

Shen Li was in an excellent mood and winked at Jiang Sui secretly when no one was watching.

In the chat room:

“Seriously, Li Ge, what did you pick??”

“Li Ge, are you picking based on looks? Can you return her and pick again?”

“Hahaha, I just love this kind of plot. Can Li Ge really carry the team?”

“Jiang Sui is pretty, but Li Ge, don’t just pick based on looks. If Reversal Wind loses, I’m gonna yell at you! (Angry)”

“Competitive fans are scary, even scolding their own team’s fans. Is this what they call ‘love so deep, it hurts’?”

Bai Xixue’s smile faded.

Why?

Why did Shen Li pick Jiang Sui?

There were only four girls here, and by reputation and skill, Bai Xixue was the strongest.

Everyone expected a fierce competition for her.

Her team had also said she would definitely be the focus and could regain her popularity through this show.

So why would Shen Li rather pick a rookie than her?

Was something wrong?

After Shen Li picked Jiang Sui, the other three captains began selecting their players.

“Can I join Reversal Wind?” Qin Ze raised his hand and smiled, “No other reason, I just want to be on the same team as Sister Sui.”

Jiang Xicheng immediately raised his hand as well. “I want to be on Jiang Sui’s team too.”

Everyone in the venue: ???

Countless question marks instantly appeared in the chat.

“???”

“Can someone explain to me what charm Jiang Sui has that I don’t know about?!!”

“Whoa whoa whoa, a love quadrangle! I love it!!”

“Isn’t this going to cause a fight?? Real men should settle this in a battle! Go Qin Ze!”

“Oh my god, little brother Qin Ze, don’t be so bold! I’m a fan, I’m scared!”

“Can anyone explain if Jiang Xicheng and Jiang Sui are related? Don’t you think they look a little alike?”

That message quickly got buried.

After all, no one connected a former unknown influencer and the young master of Wanhe Group.

Plus, sharing the same surname was common, and no one had heard of Jiang Sui having any background—so saying they were related was nonsense.
