The system makes me so beautiful that I don't care about anyone else's life or death.

Tang Weiwei and Shi An's smiles froze instantly.

what happened?

How could they give it a perfect score?

No, it's impossible.

They had an agreement.

But what Tang Weiwei didn't expect was that what followed would completely shatter her confidence.

The tall chef: "I give it a 10/10."

The skinny chef: "Ten out of ten."

The live broadcast room suddenly became lively.

[Ten out of ten! All ten out of ten!]

Now that we have two groups of first-place winners, how are we going to divide them?

The host, Wang Lei, panicked.

This is the first time I've encountered a situation like this.

He rubbed his hands together and asked the director if they wanted to add an extra round.

Before the director could speak, Tang Weiwei spoke up.

"Teacher Guiyin, I heard you grew up in a small village and your cooking skills are so superb. Is there a master chef living in seclusion there?"

She deliberately brought up Su Ran's background, something she shouldn't have mentioned.

Su Ran's real information has already been exposed online, and everyone knows her real name. However, online fans still prefer to call her by her stage name.

[It is known that Teacher Guiyin's real name is Su Ran, a top beauty and heartthrob at Qingcheng Music Academy, and a genius with unparalleled artistic talent. Before this, Su Ran was an ugly duckling from a small village.]

[Upstairs, please remove the word "ugly," thank you. Teacher Guiyin was a top student before she regained her appearance, okay?]

Aren't you even a little bit curious about Teacher Guiyin's family background? The real diva Su Qinya, who sang for Ye Zi before, also has the surname Su. And Ye Zi deliberately released the video of Su Ran being bullied before she regained her appearance. I feel like there's some connection between these things.

[At the time, Guiyin was extremely agitated and hit Ye Zi.]

【Could it be...】

Is Su Qinya related to Guiyin?

The comments section was buzzing with discussion, but Su Ran stood there calmly. When she heard Tang Weiwei's question, she raised an eyebrow.

"A master?" She glanced at the little butterfly. "There is one."

Tang Weiwei said, "Could you tell me about it? I'm very interested in cooking."

Su Ran said, "This expert has a bit of a temper; he might be unhappy if you go."

Tang Weiwei was a little embarrassed because she didn't expect Su Ran to be so disrespectful.

Seeing Tang Weiwei at a disadvantage, Shi An stepped in and said, "Speaking of which, you have another identity: my sister."

Everyone was surprised, and even the host, Wang Lei, forgot to speak.

Su Ran didn't expect Shi An to reveal his identity at this critical juncture; she thought he would keep it a secret forever.

Tang Weiwei's eyes widened as she pointed at the little butterfly, "Oh right, and your mother died early, so how did this child come about?"

Everyone's curiosity was piqued by this question.

Yes, how did this child come about?

And how did Guiyin become Shi An's sister?

One is surnamed Su, and the other is surnamed Shi. They didn't interact much on the show, so they don't seem like siblings.

What's going on here? Are they trying to show off their sibling relationship on camera?

Why did they sense a hint of war in the air?

It must be said that some netizens have a keen sense of things.

When Tang Weiwei was still Shi Youyou, she specifically investigated Little Butterfly's identity.

I don't know where it came from, and there are no related records in any of the orphanages.

Someone as poor as Su Ran definitely couldn't adopt a child.

Tang Weiwei always felt that Su Die was a little different. Perhaps Su Ran had deliberately found her to create a persona of doting on his younger sister. Maybe she could find a way to defeat Su Ran through Su Die.

Upon seeing that the matter involved Little Butterfly, a cold glint flashed in Su Ran's eyes.

"Why should I tell you?" Su Ran showed no respect for Tang Weiwei.

"Just because Weiwei will be your sister-in-law in the future," Shi An interjected.

Su Ran turned her cold gaze to Shi An: "Who do you think you are, my brother?"

Shi An said with a dark face, "No matter what, we share the same father's blood."

"Tch," Su Ran turned her face away, "Don't try to claim any connection, I don't have a father."

"What, you've turned your back on your own father just because you sent him to prison?"

Shi An's words were like a thunderclap, instantly dropping the tense atmosphere to freezing point and causing an uproar among the people present and the viewers in the live broadcast room.

What?! Teacher Guiyin personally sent her own father to prison?!

[Wait, my brain isn't quite processing this. To be precise, it was Su Ran who sent her own biological father to prison. Have you all forgotten about the opening ceremony of Qingcheng Conservatory of Music?]

[Before this incident, many people criticized Su Ran for ruining the opening ceremony and called her an ungrateful wretch. But when Su Ran appeared, everyone was captivated by her beauty!]

[This is so melodramatic! Sending her own father to prison and then disowning her own brother—she's completely heartless!]

How can an artist who treats even their own family so cruelly stand tall in the entertainment industry solely based on talent and good looks?

[Learn how to be a good person before learning any skill; I think this ghostly voice is just too ethereal.]

“I need to correct something,” Su Ran said, holding up one finger.

All eyes were on Su Ran. Her beautiful face was expressionless, showing no sign of the anxiety one might feel from being condemned by everyone.

She declared emphatically, "The person I sent in is a heartless beast who gave birth to a child but did not raise him, favored sons over daughters, committed adultery, broke his promises, and bribed others for personal gain. He doesn't deserve to be called a father."

Can a man who lets his five-year-old daughter, who was burned and disfigured, fend for herself be called a father?

Can a man who cheats on his wife, rushes to bring his mistress into the family after his wife dies, and allows his own daughter to be bullied by the mistress and her daughter, be called a father?

Can a man who sees his daughter as an adult, beautiful, and useful, and then wants to exchange her for even greater benefits, be called a father?

"I'll ask you the same question." Su Ran's sharp gaze suddenly fixed on Shi An. "Do you think you deserve to be called an older brother?"

Shi An's pupils contracted slightly.

He seemed somewhat incredulous that she would speak so disparagingly of her biological father in front of everyone, and even question whether he was worthy of being her brother.

In his opinion, no artist with a good reputation would want to be tainted.

Shi Zheng is undoubtedly one of Su Ran's stains. As long as she shows goodwill towards him in front of the camera, portrays the siblings as harmonious, and believes that sending her father to prison was a last resort, the controversy will subside and the issue will gradually fade away.

But what he didn't expect was that Su Ran would exaggerate this stain.

She wanted everyone to know she had a father with a tainted past, and she even wanted him, Shi Anye, to become one of her stains.

If he tries to defend Shi Zheng, he will undoubtedly be accused of "blind filial piety," leading everyone to believe that he, like his father, has moral problems.

Shi An gritted his teeth; he couldn't let Su Ran continue.

Tang Weiwei noticed that Shi An's palms were sweaty, so she couldn't help but look up at him.

The surroundings were completely silent, except for the barrage of comments on the program's screen.

"Let's go for team building." A clear and pleasant voice broke the silence.

Shi An looked at Su Ran in surprise. She didn't expect that after their exchange, Su Ran would not press her advantage but instead bring up the team building activities.

"There's a lake over there where you can go boating. The scenery is quite beautiful. I happen to have this team building activity, so let's go there and have some fun."

Su Ran's words essentially gave Shi An a way out, which he had no choice but to accept. In any case, he needed to get out of the tense atmosphere from before, and the best option was to prevent Su Ran from bringing up the previous topic again.

Shi An immediately smiled and said, "Okay, when?"

"It's going to be around this time tomorrow afternoon. Didn't the production team say that we can rest tomorrow, Saturday?"

"It would be impolite to refuse, thank you for your kindness, sister." Shi An then pressed her advantage and played the family card again.

Su Ran responded with a perfunctory smile.

The viewers in the live stream were completely baffled.

[Did the atmosphere ease just like that?]

[I'm waiting for the biggest juicy gossip! Ghost Voice is so generous! I thought she was going to transform into an assault rifle and mow everyone down.]

[They were acting like enemies just a moment ago, and now they're having a team-building activity. Teacher Guiyin is amazing!]

[Hehehe, this is my beloved teacher Guiyin! No matter when or where, she remains calm and composed, fearless in the face of danger, and can control the situation in an instant; everything is under her control.]

The following afternoon, Su Ran was already waiting on the ship.

This is a wooden boat of moderate size, with a cabin that can accommodate about twenty people.

The river water is emerald green, and the willows along the riverbank sway gracefully in the wind, creating a beautiful scene reminiscent of the Jiangnan region.

As soon as Tang Weiwei arrived, she saw the willow tree and immediately felt itchy all over.
