After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407: Chapter 407: If You’re Afraid I’ll Steal the Spotlight, Just Say It

Seeing Shi Suxin and the journalists and photographers following behind her step through the door, then hearing their conversation, both Shi Mingxiu and Shi Erya at the dining table felt utterly confused.

Meanwhile, Shi Yuwei had perfectly timed her descent, choosing this exact moment to come down the stairs.

Elegantly stepping on her high heels, she walked toward the living room while speaking in a voice tinged with apology: "Ah... I’m really sorry, Aunt. The show’s production team actually called me three days ago."

"At that time, I mentioned it to my parents. However, since we moved into the family estate yesterday, I updated the address with the show team but forgot to inform Grandpa and the rest of you."

The photographer’s camera was live-streaming in real-time.

Before the official start of the show, the production team would visit invited guests’ homes and conduct live broadcasts of the genius scholars’ authentic family lives as the highlight of the pilot episode, which had already been pre-approved by the invitees.

Currently, over ten thousand viewers had been waiting in anticipation in the live-streaming room. When the camera captured Shi Yuwei, dressed elegantly in a qipao and moving gracefully, the comment section immediately lit up.

[Wow!! Is this the Shi Family’s precious daughter and this year’s top scorer Shi Yuwei? She’s so beautiful and classy!]

[Of course, she’s a genuine precious daughter. Compared to that illegitimate "wild chicken" daughter from the other side, she’s worlds apart.]

[Honestly, Shi Yuwei’s beauty can easily rival that of the current trending actresses. Instead of awkwardly watching those actresses fumble through scripts on variety shows, isn’t it better to admire the true elegance of a wealthy and beautiful young lady? This here is the *real* deal.]

[Exactly! And after tiring of the dating shows, Qingmang TV’s new academic competition series is truly groundbreaking. Gathering the nation’s most remarkable young geniuses is far more intriguing than those old-fashioned shows!]

Over on the side, Journalist Lin noticed Shi Yuwei’s arrival and began explaining to Shi Suxin.

"Madam, this time Qingmang TV’s new program is centered on academic competition as the theme of the variety show. We invited the top thirty scorers nationwide in this year’s college entrance examination to participate." ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"Your family’s Yuwei was the first-place scorer with full marks, so naturally, she was the first person we extended an invitation to here in Beijing."

"Today’s visit involves live-streaming specifically to showcase Yuwei’s real home life, which was already pre-approved by her."

Live-streaming?

Shi Erya couldn’t have anticipated that early in the morning, journalists and photographers would suddenly arrive at their house and immediately launch a live broadcast.

She first glanced toward the camera lens and then instinctively looked toward Lu Sheng, whose dress had been completely marred. Her heart suddenly leaped into her throat.

This sort of situation—how could Yuwei neglect to inform them ahead of time? Even if the family hadn’t planned anything in advance, at the very least, they should’ve been told about the event!

The timing of the journalists’ arrival couldn’t have been worse; they managed to catch Shengsheng with congee spilled all over her clothes. If the camera caught her like this, it would undoubtedly be embarrassing.

Shi Erya decided to send Lu Sheng upstairs to change her clothes, hoping to act before the journalists noticed the scene at the dining area.

But before she could speak up, Shi Yuwei seemed to recall something and suddenly asked, "By the way, Journalist Lin, weren’t you planning to head to Jiang City tomorrow?"

"Lu Sheng, who got full marks just like me, as well as this year’s third-place scorer Lu Youming, seventh-place scorer Han Jing, and thirteenth-place scorer Lan Yu—they’re all in Jiang City, right?"

"Indeed," Journalist Lin nodded. "However, all those students declined the invitation to join the program when we called them a few days ago."

"So we’re heading to Jiang City tomorrow to contact them directly and see if we can persuade them in person to change their minds."

"Well, isn’t that a coincidence?" Upon hearing this, Shi Yuwei smiled knowingly and raised her gaze to look directly at Lu Sheng seated at the dining table.

"The public probably doesn’t know yet, but Lu Sheng is actually my second aunt’s only daughter. She was brought into the family estate by Grandpa just yesterday, which is why she’s here eating now."

"The first person you’d be trying to invite tomorrow in Jiang City is probably Lu Sheng," Shi Yuwei said sweetly, "and now, you have the chance to invite her directly."

What?! The other full marks top scorer Lu Sheng is part of the Shi Family too?

And she’s currently at the Shi residence?

Stunned, Journalist Lin instinctively followed Shi Yuwei’s gaze. The camera lens, too, panned accordingly.

Viewers in the live-stream room then caught sight of several individuals situated around the dining table.

The reclusive yet legendary Shi Mingxiu, the accomplished architectural designer and Shi Family’s Third Miss, Shi Erya.

Sitting amidst them was none other than Lu Sheng, who had previously appeared online. Beside her, an anxious-faced maid stood stiffly.

Upon discovering that Lu Sheng was actually a Shi Family member—Shi Yuwei’s cousin, no less—the viewers were already shocked enough.

But witnessing Lu Sheng’s current state only magnified their astonishment.

As the camera swept past her, the audience could see the chaos under the table—like a mess of vomit.

Lu Sheng’s white sleep dress was stained with patches of something mushy and wet, resembling spilled food. At a glance, it looked as if Lu Sheng had vomited on the floor and soiled her dress in the process.

[What the heck?! Did Lu Sheng just throw up during breakfast?!]

[That doesn’t look like vomit though? Seems like the bowl of congee spilled onto her and the floor—but yeah, kinda gross anyway.]

[Geez, one so elegant and dainty, the other messy and disheveled—this contrast is brutal. Who’s the true heiress and who’s the country bumpkin? The comparison alone is deadly.]
