After reading my mind, everyone collectively begged me to watch the drama unfold!

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Guiyi anxiously asked, "Are you alright, Lu Anyi?"

"No, I choked a little, but I'm fine now." Lu Anyi shook his head to indicate that he was alright.

"It's good that you're alright," Lin Guiyi said, turning his gaze away.

Gu Qingye calmly ate her food. Even fathers and sons can stab each other in the back, let alone those from different generations.

Uncle Zhang cheated on his wife. He conspired with his mistress to drug Xiao Yi, causing her to become paralyzed!

He did all this simply so that Aunt Zhang wouldn't have the energy to deal with him, and would be able to devote herself entirely to taking care of Xiao Yi and raising money for her medical expenses. This way, Uncle Zhang would have time to have an affair with his mistress!

[Ugh, how infuriating! Uncle Zhang is such a jerk, utterly shameless! I want to punch him, punch him left and right, until he's black and blue!]

[As for the hospital not finding anything, it was because he kept misleading the doctors. How despicable!]

Lin Guiyi closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down.

{Everyone, here we go again, that strange atmosphere is back.}

{I sensed it. After the news about Xu Feng and Jin Lanlan broke online, I went back and watched the live stream again, and I noticed a lot of things were off.}

{Me too. What's the real reason? It feels like everyone knows something about them, even on the spot. But how did everyone find out during the live broadcast? I don't understand.}

{Wow, everyone's like detectives, analyzing things so seriously!}

{Hey, don't overthink it. It's just a simple dating reality show. You guys have made it sound like there's something fishy going on with the program.}

{Look closely at Lin Guiyi's expression, and Lu Anyi suddenly choked; something's definitely wrong.}

{Just choked, don't be so surprised}

Lin Guiyi calmed himself down, reopened his eyes, and continued to pick at Uncle Zhang's melon.

[Swearing, swearing! Uncle Zhang is so old, yet he still goes out and messes around like this, doing nothing all day long.]

[Aunt Zhang goes out to work to earn money, and on weekdays she also has to come home to do farm work and take care of Xiao Yi, so the whole burden falls on Aunt Zhang's shoulders.]

What a shameless man!

Seeing this, Lin Guiyi got angry again; she hated this kind of person the most.

【Ugh, what is Aunt Zhang waiting for if she doesn't divorce this kind of man? To lay eggs?!】

Lin Guiyi didn't know what to say.

Aunt Zhang, what suffering have you endured in your life? To have your child outlive you, to have your husband cheat on you and then drug your granddaughter, leaving her paralyzed, and to have you single-handedly support your family—you're numb, truly numb!

Lu Anyi, sitting at the dinner table, gritted his teeth as he listened, thinking that it would be better to kick this kind of old man out as soon as possible.

Lu Anyi lost her appetite, consumed by anger.

Ah! This old man arranged to meet his lover in the grove behind the mountain this afternoon for some excitement.

[Damn, they're shameless! So open-minded, even doing things outdoors.]

[Let me see, the time is around 4 PM. The decision to choose this time was made to take into account my lover's situation. Hmm... hard to say.]

[Tsk tsk, let me think... This matter absolutely must be exposed to Old Man Zhang's true colors, otherwise Aunt Zhang will remain in the dark, and Xiao Yi will continue to be drugged as long as he's still alive.]

Lin Guiyi fell into deep thought; this matter must be resolved properly.

Lin Guiyi's eyes lit up when his gaze accidentally fell on the camera; he had an idea.

Let old man Zhang die a complete social death.

Lu Anyi listened with complete immersion, her left hand clenching tightly under the table. No matter what Lin Guiyi planned to do, she would support her.

The midday hour passed quietly. Lin Guiyi and the other two took a short rest and played with Xiao Yi for a while.

Aunt Zhang had already told them what they needed to do in the afternoon. They needed to go to the back hill to collect firewood and cut several baskets of wild grass for the pigs.

Lin Guiyi and his two companions bid farewell to Xiaoyi and headed towards the back mountain.

"Wait a minute, we'll pick up the fallen branches and some other things we can use to start a fire. I'll show you later," Lin Guiyi reminded the two who clearly didn't know.

"Okay, Guiyi, how do you know so much? I have a feeling your family must be well-off."

"I used to live in the countryside for a period of time," Lin Guiyi explained.

"Oh, okay, then I'll be counting on you later."

Beside him, Gu Qingye's eyes flashed with a glint of light. After witnessing Lin Guiyi's extraordinary abilities, he had conducted a private investigation and found that Lin Guiyi's information had been hidden. Fortunately, the Gu family had good connections.

Upon learning that Lin Guiyi was the real heiress who had swapped identities with Lin Xiaoxiao online, he understood why Lin Guiyi disliked Lin Xiaoxiao.

I just don't understand why Lin Guiyi doesn't just get rid of Lin Xiaoxiao. Doesn't it make him uncomfortable to have her under his nose all the time? If it were him… Gu Qingye narrowed her eyes, a ruthless glint flashing in them.

Could it be... that Lin Xiaoxiao is the female lead?!

Upon arriving at the back mountain, Lin Gui gathered firewood while giving the two directions.

Beside a quiet grove of trees, several people were bending down, gathering firewood. They moved through the woods, their eyes constantly searching for suitable firewood on the ground and low branches.

Lin Guiyi pointed to the dry branches and told the two, "These are excellent choices because they are completely dry and can be easily ignited, resulting in a stronger fire."

Lin Guiyi picked up a piece of firewood and said, "This one is already dry and rotten, it won't burn well."

As he spoke, Lin Guiyi gently pinched the wood, and it crumbled into small pieces of wood chips.

Gathering firewood is simple. After Lin Guiyi explained it briefly, everyone's efficiency in gathering firewood improved significantly.

{Wow, Lin Guiyi even lived in the countryside! What should I do? I suddenly feel closer to her.}

{Upstairs, this is an illusion. Don't try to empathize with people who are much richer than you; it will create a misconception.}

{Lin Guiyi is amazing, he knows so much}

{I just went up the mountain to collect firewood yesterday, and today I'm watching a celebrity collect firewood on a live stream. What's that like?}

{The three of them were very focused; they had already collected several bundles.}

Once the collected firewood reaches a certain quantity, everyone works together to tie it up with rope to ensure that the firewood will not scatter during transportation.

"That's about enough!" Lu Anyi straightened up, pounding his lower back repeatedly in an attempt to relieve the pain.

Lin Guiyi looked at the gathered firewood and nodded.

"Let's sit for a few minutes and rest."

Sitting on the ground with nothing to do, Lin Guiyi's mind tends to wander.

This is the place Old Zhang is going to be later, right? There shouldn't be any other mountains there.

[Wait, where will they do it? What position?]

I'd only read about it in the novel before, but to actually see it up close feels a little strange, a little disgusting, and a little exciting.

Wow! Upon hearing this, Lu Anyi and Gu Qingye both thought at the same time: I never expected you to be like this, Lin Guiyi.

After carrying the firewood back to the Zhang family's house, they drank a few sips of water and then went to the fields to cut grass.

Lin Guiyi once again demonstrated first, explaining how to use a sickle to cut grass.

In the end, the three of them cut three full baskets of wild grass. By the time they put the baskets down, they were numb.

The three of them sat on chairs, all pressing their hands on their lower backs; their backs were really tired today!

{Haha, the three of them are so funny! I never imagined that celebrities and CEOs could be so uninhibited and let loose in front of the camera.}

{I think they've all become too lazy to maintain any semblance of decorum, haha, who even remembers this is a dating reality show now! I couldn't tell at all from the show's title.}

{Same as above}

{However, this is also quite interesting}

As soon as Aunt Zhang entered the house, she saw the group looking like this and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is your back tired?"

"Yeah, it's been too long since I've bent over for an extended period of time," Lin Guiyi said with an embarrassed smile.

"Come on, let me give you a massage, it will greatly relieve your lower back pain."

"Aunt Zhang, no need, you just demonstrate, we'll do it ourselves."

"Don't be so formal!"

Aunt Zhang gave a demonstration, and then Lin Guiyi and the other two massaged each other.

Feeling the massage on his waist, Lin Guiyi relaxed his body.

[Wait, we still need to catch Old Man Zhang red-handed!]
