Chapter 992 [Ashes of Love: One Life, One World, One Tribulation 1]
"My lady, please stop eating!" With a cry of surprise, a bright and beautiful woman in a windbreaker rushed over like a gust of wind and snatched the potato chips from Youyou's hand in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, Sister Zhang, what are you doing?" Youyou grumbled in dissatisfaction. She watched her favorite potato chips being snatched away, feeling so aggrieved.
"Why are you asking me? Look at you, you've almost finished this bag of potato chips! If you keep eating like this, Director Liu won't be able to make his movie!" Zhang Yunmei looked at Youyou helplessly, and said with a look of disappointment.
"Oh, Sister Zhang, don't worry. I'm not the type to gain weight easily. Eating some potato chips won't have any effect." Youyou waved her hand nonchalantly, trying to comfort Zhang Yunmei.
"You are such a worry!" Zhang Yunmei shook her head and sighed, "Why do you love eating junk food so much? These potato chips are high in calories. Eating too much is bad for your health! My dear, please stop ruining your body like this, okay?"
"Sister Zhang, you know me. I just like eating potato chips. It's a must-have for watching TV series!" Youyou said confidently, "And I really can't gain weight. Look at my figure. I've always been so slim!"
"My dear, even if you can't get fat, you can't keep eating like this!" Zhang Yunmei advised earnestly, "Think about it, you were addicted to chocolate before, eating it all day long, then you were addicted to spicy strips, eating them every day, then you were addicted to cakes, eating more than a dozen at a time... Now you're addicted to potato chips, you want to try all kinds of snacks! Were you Taowu in your previous life? Or are you a starving ghost reincarnated? Why do you love snacks so much?"
"Sister Zhang, I eat, but I'm not fat, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Besides, these are delicious. Food is the only thing in the world that should not be desecrated." Youyou said seriously.
"You, you, Menglan, you have to keep an eye on her, don't let her continue eating! Otherwise, the media will make up some stories based on hearsay. This is really a headache! I don't know what I owed you in my last life, and that I have to be your agent in this life. But fortunately, you only have this hobby of being gluttonous. If you had other messy problems, I don't know how to help you with public relations." Sister Zhang said helplessly.
Meng Lan seemed a little aggrieved. She pouted and said, "Sister Zhang, you know I can't control Sister Lin at all."
Sister Zhang glared at her and then said, "Alright, alright, I'll give you a raise, alright?"
Hearing this, Meng Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, but then dimmed again. She whispered, "But... Sister Lin pays my salary."
Seeing this, Sister Zhang couldn't help but feel a little amused. She sighed and said, "Little Ancestor, please don't embarrass me anymore, okay? Look at you, you're always like this, and you're almost worrying me to death."
At this time, Youyou finally spoke. She smiled and said, "Okay, Sister Zhang, don't blame Menglan. I won't eat it. There's not much left anyway. I'll go get some more later."
When Sister Zhang heard this, she immediately said nervously, "My dear, please don't go to the supermarket again! Do you remember the last time you went to the supermarket to buy something? You were photographed. Do you know how popular you are now? You just casually put on a mask and went out, and you weren't afraid of meeting those illegitimate fans."
"Sister Zhang, the supermarket I go to has a membership system, and the things there are all imported. Generally, you can't get in without a membership. I didn't know that a reporter went in that day and took some secret photos." Youyou was helpless.
"You must bring Menglan with you next time you go out, otherwise don't go out." Sister Zhang said seriously.
Youyou nodded helplessly and replied, "I understand, Sister Zhang."
Sister Zhang seemed dissatisfied with Youyou's attitude. She continued, "This is no joke. Menglan is your assistant. Her responsibility is to take care of your daily life and work arrangements. If you don't take her out, who will help you deal with any problems you encounter?"
Youyou quickly explained: "Sister Zhang, I know Menglan is very important, but sometimes I also want to go out for a walk alone and relax."
Sister Zhang sighed and said, "I understand your thoughts, but you also have to consider your own safety and work arrangements. If you really want to go out alone, at least tell me in advance, so that I can rest assured."
Youyou nodded in agreement, then changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Sister Zhang, you just said that I will join the team next month, so do you have any work arrangements during this period?"
Sister Zhang smiled and said, "Of course, I have accepted a variety show for you and will join the crew the day after tomorrow."
Youyou asked in surprise, "So soon? What kind of variety show is it?"
Sister Zhang replied, "It's a variety show featuring celebrities and ordinary people. You are going to be a guest. It's called "I Have a Date with Tomorrow."
After hearing this, Youyou couldn't help but feel a little confused. She said, "Why does this name sound so much like a dating variety show? It can't really be a dating variety show, right?"
Sister Zhang waved her hands quickly and said, "No, you're overthinking it. This variety show is mainly for celebrities and ordinary people to complete some tasks together to enhance their understanding and friendship. It is definitely not the kind of dating variety show you think it is."
Youyou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I don't want to participate in that kind of awkward dating variety show."
Sister Zhang smiled and said, "Don't worry. How could I possibly accept that kind of variety show for you? Well, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. You still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."
Youyou nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Zhang, you guys should go back early too, and be careful on the road."
"Okay, don't steal anything to eat while we're gone!" Sister Zhang said to Youyou with a serious face.
Youyou was muttering to herself. She had been thinking about eating some ice cream as soon as Sister Zhang and the others left, but she didn't expect that Sister Zhang would see through her. However, she pretended to be calm on the surface and replied, "Hey, Sister Zhang, what are you talking about? How could I be that kind of person?"
Sister Zhang raised her lips slightly, looking at Youyou with a half-smile, "You're really not that kind of person? Then tell me, who was the one who secretly ate the cake and drank the drinks before?"
Youyou's face turned red all of a sudden. She lowered her head and muttered softly, "That...that was all an accident..."
"Accident? There aren't that many accidents!" Sister Zhang interrupted Youyou mercilessly, "You are just greedy. You have done this kind of thing many times. I am just too lazy to expose you."
Youyou lowered her head even more, and said timidly like a child who had done something wrong: "Sister Zhang, I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again..."
Seeing Youyou's pitiful appearance, Sister Zhang couldn't bear to blame her any more, so she waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, it's OK as long as you know you were wrong. Menglan and I are leaving now."
After saying that, Sister Zhang and Meng Lan left the villa together.
After the two people disappeared completely at the door, Youyou immediately changed into a different person, with an excited smile on her face. She quickly kicked off her shoes, and then jumped happily on the soft carpet like a little rabbit.
After dancing for a while, Youyou felt a little tired, so she walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, and saw the ice cream inside. This was brought back from Italy by her elder brother a few days ago, and she had never been willing to eat it.
Youyou carefully took out the ice cream, tore open the wrapper, and licked it happily. Wow, it's so sweet! The rich milky flavor and delicate taste intoxicated Youyou. While eating the ice cream, she secretly sighed in her heart: Big brother is still the best to me!
On the other side, Sister Zhang and Meng Lan were drifting apart. Meng Lan finally couldn't hold back her inner thoughts and said, "Sister Zhang, is it really okay for you to lie to Sister Lin like this? That variety show is obviously a dating variety show. When Sister Lin appears on the show, won't she know the truth immediately?"
Sister Zhang smiled slightly, as if she had expected this. She explained, "Why do you think I am so bold? Actually, it's all because of Mr. Lin. You know, Mr. Lin is worried when he sees his granddaughter is so old but still alone. So he asked me to arrange a dating variety show for Sister Lin so that she can experience it. It's just a formality."
Meng Lan still said with some worry: "But Sister Zhang, even if Sister Lin doesn't take the initiative to search for this variety show, the news about this show on the Internet is also very popular. She will inevitably see some related content."
Sister Zhang answered confidently, "Don't worry about that. That little ancestor doesn't have the patience to search for these things. If she had the time, she would have already watched several TV series! I was able to successfully deceive her because I saw this characteristic of hers. Oh, by the way, you can just pick her up at the filming location the day after tomorrow. I won't go."
"Sister Zhang, you must be worried that Sister Lin will come to trouble you after she finds out about this." Meng Lan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, looking at Sister Zhang with a smile.
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Sister Zhang's face, but she quickly regained her composure. She coughed lightly and said, "Hey, Menglan, what are you talking about! I do have something to do the day after tomorrow, and I asked you to participate in this event because I wanted to give you a chance to exercise."
After listening to Sister Zhang's explanation, Meng Lan was a little skeptical, but she nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Zhang, I understand. Don't worry, I will do my best to complete the task!"
At the same time, Youyou was sitting on the sofa, eating ice cream with relish while watching the TV series she had not finished watching. Suddenly, the screen of her mobile phone lit up, indicating that there was an incoming video call.
Youyou picked up the phone casually, pressed the answer button, and a beautiful woman with a bright smile immediately appeared on the screen.
"Hey, Sister Youyou, what are you doing?" the beautiful girl opposite greeted enthusiastically.
"I'm watching a drama and having some ice cream." Youyou replied with a smile.
"Wow, it's so comfortable! Sister Youyou, I heard that you took part in a variety show. I also plan to participate in it, so we can be together!" said the beauty excitedly.
After hearing this, Youyou asked in surprise: "Shiyi, aren't you a voice actor? Why are you suddenly interested in variety shows?"
"I really didn't want to go at first, but there was no other way. After all, I owed the director a favor, so I was dragged there. What about you, are you thinking of participating in a dating variety show to find true love?" Shi Yi asked curiously.
"Dating variety show? Are you talking about 'I Have a Promise with Tomorrow'? Are you kidding me?" Youyou was shocked, as if she had heard something out of this world.
"Haha, sister, did you just come out of some ancient forest? This program is very popular now, and each episode can bring together several loving couples!" Shi Yi explained with a smile.
"Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder! I was wondering why my agent suddenly asked me to participate in this kind of dating variety show. It must be that old man behind the scenes!" Youyou suddenly realized and complained helplessly.
"Then Sister Youyou, are you going or not?" Shi Yi continued to ask.
