REHC – Chapter 13

   “You stole my transportation this afternoon and left me behind, causing me to have to walk more than ten miles, so watch out!” Qin An raged.

        Ruan Tian raised her eyes and gave him a faint look. “I’m a scheming white lotus bitch, remember? This is just what I should do.”  Her eyes were filled with careless indifference as she continued, “What did you expect?”

        Qin An was disgusted by her look and he retorted, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Brother Shen Shu about what you’ve done?”

        Ruan Tian put on a face like she was seriously considering his words before slowly saying, “Shen Shu? Who’s that? Do I know him?”

        Qin An turned around and stomped away angrily, feeling as if he would die of anger if he exchanged one more word with her.

        Then, before the program group officially started recording that evening, Qin An really called Shen Shu and ranted for ten minutes about all the ‘terrible things’ Ruan Tian had done to him.

        “Brother Shen Shu, you don’t know how vicious that woman is. She even took my tractor and drove away with it.”

        “Hey, you tell me, isn’t she supposed to be a woman? Why is she so good at driving a tractor?”

        “Brother Shen Shu, when are you going to divorce that woman? Sister Xiaoqiao’s illness has already recovered, so aren’t you…”

        Shen Shu suddenly interrupted him, “Did Ruan Tian make trouble for you on purpose?”

        Qin An thought for a while before responding, “It’s not like that. I’m just afraid that she will try to cling to me for hype. If I had known she was also on this show, I would never have agreed to come.”

        Shen Shu sat at the desk in his study and gave a low hum while boredly twirling a pen between his fingers. Suddenly, he remembered how Ruan Tian had signed the divorce papers without hesitation, and also the words he had overheard her saying while he was in the car that night.

        He felt a bit curious, was Ruan Tian just playing hard to get? Or, maybe, did she really disdain to continue on with their marriage?

        Either way, Shen Shu somehow felt extremely unhappy in his heart.

        He was aware that the Zhou family had long stopped giving Ruan Tian any money, and he also knew that she wasn’t doing very well in the entertainment industry for various reasons.

        Shen Shu was pretty sure that Ruan Tian wouldn’t be able to go very far in the entertainment industry, and the thought caused his lips to slowly curl into a smile.

        Since it was like that, sooner or later she would have to come back and beg him not to divorce her.

        “Since Ruan Tian hasn’t deliberately caused any trouble for you, you don’t have to call and tell me about it.” Shen Shu finally replied, “I don’t really care to manage her affairs.”

        ————————

        At eight o’clock that night, the program officially began recording.

        The guests were told they would have to find dinner by themselves. They could try to cook for themselves or they could go to beg from the villagers.

        However, not mentioning if any of them knew how to cook, they had no ingredients to cook with in the first place.

        Movie King Liu and Qin An put down their pride and went from door to door trying to find something to eat. The villagers were simple and honest and, although they had mostly all already eaten dinner, they were very kind and gave the two actors some large steamed buns.

        Qin An held a cold steamed bun in his hand and felt liked he just wanted to die on the spot.

        Qin An wasn’t the only one who couldn’t stomach it, even Movie King Luo and the young actor Haui Mo couldn’t manage to swallow down these cold buns.

        The three men exchanged uncomfortable glances, all of them feeling hungry to death.

        Meanwhile, the film crew was very happy to record their pitiful appearances. With a bit of editing, this scene would definitely be able to create a big wave of heat once it was broadcast, so they were feeling confident that they definitely wouldn’t lose any money on the show this time.

        Then, just when the three people were feeling hungry and wondering what to do, a tempting aroma suddenly wafted out from the kitchen.

        Qin An smelled the aroma of food and felt even more hungry all of a sudden!

        He turned his head and asked one of the cameramen: “Is your film crew cooking?”

        The cameraman shook his head and replied, “No, we in the crew all eat boxed lunches.”

        Meanwhile, by the kitchen stove, Ruan Tian was pouring out her freshly cooked meal of bacon and rice. The meat in the pot glistened and made a person hungry just looking at it.

        As it turned out, the elderly couple that Ruan Tian had given a ride to the village on the tractor earlier in the day had not only given her some bacon, they also came over later and gave her some rice. 

        For Ruan Tian, who had spent the first seventeen years of her life growing up alone, cooking wasn’t something difficult for her at all. In fact, her skills as a cook weren’t half-bad. 

        At the very least the director was almost drooling because of the pot of bacon and rice she had made.

        The director couldn’t help but swallow, and at the same time he really felt desperate.

        How could this Ruan Tian be so good at everything! ? Didn’t netizens all scold her for being a useless bloodsucker who couldn’t do anything! ?

        Just how was she anywhere near the word useless?

        The director was unresigned, ah.

        However, his prejudice against Ruan Tian also became a bit less because of this. After all, he was long used to seeing the big celebrities from the entertainment circle who all had plastic surgery and relied on their backgrounds and connections to get ahead. A star like Ruan Tian was actually very rare.

        He suddenly felt that this little girl was actually pretty good.
