Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Christine gave a meaningful smile and shook his head slightly, saying, "I don't think that statement is entirely accurate!"

At least for me, I feel that as long as you have a childhood sweetheart, any unexpected romantic advances are insignificant and not worth mentioning.

Emily smiled, her eyes and brows beaming with joy. "What a coincidence, I also like childhood sweethearts."

As she spoke, she winked playfully.

Immediately afterward, Leondo eagerly raised his hand and said, "Me too! That kind of friendship that comes from growing up together is something that no one can replace."

The group chatted amongst themselves, and suddenly this topic came up in their conversation.

However, they all tacitly avoided mentioning Xia Lin and Shi Ye's affair again.

However, Lee Ji-eun could tell.

The seemingly casual conversation among this group of people actually subtly hinted at something with every single word they uttered.

It was as if he was saying it to her on purpose, deliberately targeting her.

Although she had no evidence, the feeling of being targeted grew stronger and stronger.

She felt an inexplicable anger surge to her head, making her so angry her nose almost crooked.

What annoyed her even more was that while the news was still spreading like wildfire outside, this strange topic suddenly jumped in, and it just so happened to be content that was unfavorable to her.

The seafood feast laid out in front of me should have been a mouthwatering delicacy.

At this moment, however, it felt like a fishbone stuck in her throat, tasteless and hard to swallow, and she almost broke the disposable chopsticks in her hand.

Charlene was still confused and didn't understand the meaning behind Emily's words.

However, she did think it was a good topic.

Instead, they were able to gloss over her relationship with Shino.

Looking back, outsiders might not make a big deal out of it, especially since subsequent discussions about childhood sweethearts would be deliberately steered in a positive direction.

Charlene's tense mood seemed to suddenly relax, and her appetite improved.

She ate all the crab meat that Shino peeled for her in one go.

She thought the crabs tasted especially delicious today.

Shino acted very naturally, without any intention of hiding anything. This frank attitude made everything seem more real and believable.

Later, after everyone finished their meal, Charlene took the initiative to get up and help clear the dishes.

Emily smiled and stopped her, saying gently, "Don't move, you wounded. Leave these things to us!"

As she spoke, she took the chopsticks from Charlene's hand.

Charlene's hands were now empty. Watching Emily's busy figure, a wave of gratitude welled up in her heart, and she smiled and thanked her.

Emily smiled and replied in a friendly tone, "You're welcome, Charlene, it's my pleasure!"

Charlene was confused.

What does "this is expected" mean?

At this moment, the director was also caught off guard by this development.

The conversation they just had was contrary to what he wanted to create hype; he had just used two cannon fodders and their ambiguous relationship for publicity.

At this point, they suddenly started talking openly about it.

Now, what will the audience and netizens think? They'll definitely think it's a publicity stunt by the production team.

Then he, as the director, would be torn to shreds by criticism!

Lee Ji-eun had obviously thought of this as well.

after lunch.

The production team gave everyone a two-hour lunch break.

This morning, two more members were accidentally injured.

The competition events originally scheduled for the afternoon cannot proceed as planned and require readjustment and replanning.

During this break, Lee Ji-eun took the initiative to approach the director and asked about the conversation they had about their childhood friends during dinner.

After listening to her question, the director said, "Don't worry, we'll edit out that part of their conversation, so it won't have any impact."

Then, the director reassured her, "Don't worry! You're Producer Park's niece, so the production team will naturally take extra care of you."

Now, Shino and Xia Lin's group is destined to be cannon fodder in this season's program.

Once filming is complete and the show airs, all that awaits her is audience dissatisfaction and a barrage of criticism.

After hearing the director's words, Lee Ji-eun breathed a sigh of relief.

But she didn't stop there; instead, she made another request to the director.

Hopefully, when the director redesigns the competition format, he can create some matches that are more favorable to their team.

She added with a hint of grievance, "From the start of yesterday's program until now, we haven't actually lost a single time."

But for some reason, after each segment, things always looked particularly bad, and my image in front of the camera was always very passive.

Given her status, the director eventually nodded and agreed to her request.

Lee Ji-eun was satisfied and then left the director's office.

After she left, the director immediately picked up his phone and checked the online public opinion.

On social media platforms, there is still a barrage of insults directed at Xia Lin, with all sorts of vile and offensive comments emerging one after another.

Because of the deliberate control and guidance of online trolls, most of the criticism was focused on Xia Lin, while negative comments about Shi Ye were few and far between.

Netizens have criticized Xia Lin for her improper behavior, saying that she was using her sister's name on the surface.

In reality, she was engaging in seduction, which was utterly shameless.

What pleased the director even more was...

The club where Shino plays has remained silent so far, and has yet to come up with any effective countermeasures to deal with this turmoil.

This slow response undoubtedly confirmed that Tokino and his group really had no background.

The director grew increasingly smug, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up in a smile.

Because of this controversy, the show has become incredibly popular, with viewership and buzz reaching new highs.

He felt that when the higher-ups saw such achievements, they would definitely look at him with new respect and might even reward him handsomely.

Soon, the director put away his phone and got back to work.

He was unaware that the club had actually already hired a public relations team and was preparing to clarify the situation.

However, the coach suddenly received a call from Marcy.

On the other end of the phone, Marcy calmly and clearly instructed that the club did not need to take any action, and that the Loo Group would handle all the news events concerning Charlene and Shino.

Only a few core members of the club knew about Tokino's background.

They also knew that Shi Ye's brother-in-law was the big boss of the Luoou Group.

Not to mention, his family also has influential relatives who hold significant positions in the business and political worlds.

Now that Loo has decided to take action, the club is naturally happy to relax and no longer needs to worry about this matter.

In the afternoon, the program team announced the new competition.

Indeed, it was designed to benefit Lee Ji-eun; the competition event was set as a beach cross-country race.
