The stone mill in the small Yard creaked as it turned, and the rich aroma of soybeans spread out along with the rising steam,

Yu Wantang was holding a wooden spoon and adding the soaked soybeans into the eye of the mill.

The other guests nearby were not idle either; Qin Xiao was pushing the millstone with all his might, his handsome face flushed red from exhaustion, and his mouth still wouldn't stop talking.

"I finally know why tofu is so delicious now."

Chen Jing was filtering the soybean milk, and she looked up and asked, "Why?"

Qin Xiao said with a deeply sorrowful expression, "Because it contains my bitterness and hardship."

Yu Wantang glanced at the stone mill: "Step back a bit, I'm afraid the audience will report us for food safety violations."

Shen Jiamu was helping her pass the gauze, and he couldn't help laughing upon hearing this.

Qin Xiao clutched his chest: "Sister Yu, you're famous now, and your words cut even deeper."

Yu Wantang took the gauze and poured the filtered soybean milk into a wooden bucket: "I used to be piercing too, it's just that no one listened carefully before."

Chen Jing smiled and shook her head.

Zhou Ye stood on the other side helping the villagers move wooden buckets.

He didn't talk much, but his movements were neat and efficient, revealing a section of sturdy forearm when his cuffs were rolled up.

Xie Wenzhou hadn't left; he was kept by the Show Production Team to experience it together. At the moment, he was holding a guitar and sitting under the veranda, watching the few people bustle about and occasionally plucking the strings a couple of times.

The live broadcast room was extremely lively.

【Help, why do they have such a strong variety show sense even when making tofu.】

【What should I do, I really want to drink soybean milk?】

【Drink it if you want to, I've already ordered takeout.】

At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from outside the Yard door.

A staff member lowered their voice and spoke a few words to the director.

The director had originally been sitting on a small wooden stool cracking melon seeds, but seeing the person arrive, he immediately had the camera turn over.

At the Yard entrance, a black commercial vehicle stopped.

The car door opened, and a man stepped out from the vehicle.

He wore a sharply tailored dark suit, and his wristwatch flashed under the sunlight. His brows and eyes were cold and stern, and his aura was oppressive, completely out of place with this small Yard filled with the fragrance of soybean milk.

Lu Jingheng.

The person in power of the Lu Corporation.

He was also Yu Wantang's nominal fiancé.

The moment he appeared in front of the camera, the live broadcast room directly exploded.

【Holy crap, isn't that Yu Wantang's domineering CEO fiancé?】

【What's the situation, a domineering CEO visiting the set?】

【Xie Wenzhou, Lu Jingheng, Show Production Team, just how many more surprises do you have.】

【Yu Wantang has become popular, and her fiancé can't sit still anymore?】

Sitting behind the monitor, the director's eyes instantly lit up.

What is this called?

This is called popularity falling from the sky.

And it's the kind you don't even need to spend money to hire.

When Lu Jingheng entered the Yard, the first person he saw was Yu Wantang.

She was standing in the middle of the crowd with her cuffs rolled up, lowering her head as she scooped soybeans into the mold.

He came only after seeing the trending searches.

When the assistant handed the show clips to him, he originally had little interest. He knew about Yu Wantang going on a variety show, but he hadn't taken it seriously.

She used to love making a fuss.

She loved using all sorts of ways to make him notice her.

In the past, he always found this engagement to be a trouble forcibly shoved onto him by his elders.

But when he saw Yu Wantang wearing floral pants being chased all over the Yard by chickens, and then solemnly saying in front of the camera that she wasn't the promotional ambassador for floral pants.

It was the first time he realized that Yu Wantang wouldn't be unable to function without him.

This realization made Lu Jingheng feel very uncomfortable inside.

Just as he lifted his foot to walk over, a figure suddenly cut across diagonally.

Su Niannian was wearing a light-colored casual outfit today, looking pure and lovely.

"Hello, President Lu. I am Su Niannian, and I'm currently recording the show together with Sister Wantang."

Lu Jingheng stopped in his tracks, lowered his head to glance at the woman blocking his way, his eyes revealing the detachment of someone in a superior position.

Su Niannian acted as if she didn't sense that coldness, and continued speaking.

"I've previously watched the promotional video of your company's jewelry brand, especially the women's independence series, which I really like. I heard your company has recently been contacting a new spokesperson; if there is an opportunity to participate in a collaboration in the future, I will definitely cherish it very much."

Lu Jingheng himself had come.

With this opportunity right before her eyes, only a fool wouldn't seize it.

Lu Jingheng's gaze remained on Yu Wantang.

He didn't even give Su Niannian a proper glance, directly raising his hand to interrupt her words.

"We are not discussing official business today."

Su Niannian's smile froze for a split second.

"It was abrupt of me. Speaking of which, I still have to thank Sister Wantang. If it weren't for her, I might have gotten into big trouble."

Lu Jingheng withdrew his gaze, swept a glance at Su Niannian, and said, "If you want to thank her, go thank her in person right in front of her; what are you telling me for?"

The bullet comments in the live broadcast room were already scrolling frantically.

【Hahaha, so direct, but I love it.】

【Su Niannian's phrasing was so tactful, but isn't she just trying to talk about the endorsement?】

【President Lu's look clearly writes: Stay away from me.】

【Cracking me up, Su Niannian's tricks are simply hilarious in front of a big shot like President Lu.】

Yu Wantang straightened her body. From the very moment Lu Jingheng entered the door, she had known.

In the original plot, Lu Jingheng would fall in love with Su Niannian at first sight.

After being stimulated, the Original Host lost control and questioned him if he liked Su Niannian, cementing her image as a vicious fiancée and ultimately being cyberbullied by the entire internet.

Yu Wantang picked up a tissue and leisurely wiped her fingers.

"Teacher Su, what are you chatting about with President Lu? How about I be generous and hand my fiancé over to you?"

The atmosphere in the Yard changed instantly.

The gazes of several people all fell on the two of them.

The director was so excited that his breathing tightened.

The Shura field had arrived.

【Su Niannian, her fiancé is still right here, have some sense of boundaries.】

【Our Nianbao is just seeking cooperation, don't misunderstand.】

【Sister Yu: Things like fiancés, if you don't like them, just circulate them.】

Lu Jingheng's face darkened instantly. He strode over, stopped beside the stone mill, and shouted in a low voice, "Yu Wantang, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Yu Wantang looked up, meeting his face written all over with displeasure.

She ignored Lu Jingheng and turned to ask the Show Production Team: "Director, the live stream is on, right?"

Named by her, the director almost crushed his walkie-talkie.

He swallowed hard and nodded, "It's on."

"I'd like to make a formal statement here: Mr. Lu Jingheng and I do indeed have an engagement." Yu Wantang looked towards the camera.

Lu Jingheng's heart sank.

The bullet comments in the live stream paused for a split second, and then scrolled even more crazily.

【Wait, is she about to assert her dominance?】

【Judging by Yu Wantang's current mental state, I'm not so sure.】

"But that was set by the elders of both families in the early years. I don't like him, and he doesn't think much of me either. Just taking advantage of today's bright sunshine, I'm also announcing this: The engagement between Mr. Lu Jingheng and me is void!"

She turned her head and patted Lu Jingheng's shoulder.

"President Lu, congratulations, you are free from now on. You can venture through the colorful world outside as you please, I won't occupy this spot anymore."

Lu Jingheng was completely dumbfounded.

No.

Who can tell him what happened?

He just came to visit the set.

How did his fiancée just disappear?

Although he had indeed thought about breaking off the engagement before.

He felt Yu Wantang was spoiled and arrogant, and felt that this engagement was a trouble forcibly imposed on him by his family, making it hard for him to breathe.

But now that she really broke off the engagement in front of the entire internet, he didn't feel as relieved as he had imagined.

His chest felt as if a piece had been violently gouged out by someone.

Lu Jingheng looked towards Su Niannian, then immediately took half a step back, pulling apart the distance between them.

"Tangtang, I don't know her at all."
