After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 409

Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Are You More Important or the Four of Us?

...

These words, whoever hears them, would surely find them odd.

Who would idle around and deliberately have a servant scald themself, then show up on camera in such a disheveled state just to frame someone else for what happened?

What benefit would Lu Sheng gain from doing this?

If her intention was really to outshine Shi Yuwei, wouldn’t it be better to dress up more elegantly and beautifully than her?

Even Shi Yuwei herself felt that her earlier question was as good as saying something without thinking.

"..." And Lu Sheng’s response left Shi Yuwei completely speechless in an instant.

She could only take a deep breath to stay calm. Outwardly composed, but inwardly she was gritting her teeth tightly.

"Uh, no matter what’s going on, Lu Sheng’s current state doesn’t seem too good."

Journalist Lin stepped in to mediate, his attitude friendly, "Lu Sheng, you should probably go change your clothes first. We’ll wait here for you to come back before officially starting the interview."

Journalist Lin hadn’t expected to garner such unexpected material during this first livestream of the preview episode today.

The other college entrance examination top scorer, Lu Sheng, was also present. Not to mention, she and this heiress of the Shi family, Shi Yuwei, were sisters. And Shi Yuwei seemed to be secretly targeting her, with a palpable tension between the two.

Although the show hadn’t started broadcasting yet, wasn’t this topic and the drama already coming together?

The problem was, Lu Sheng had previously refused their invitation to join the program.

If Lu Sheng could change her mind and agree to participate in the program...

Wait a minute, wasn’t the production team here today to interview her? Then why were they waiting for Lu Sheng to change her clothes and come back to start?

Shi Yuwei was furious, but couldn’t express her anger in front of the cameras.

She forced out a smile and asked Journalist Lin, "...Journalist Lin, didn’t Lu Sheng already decline the program invitation?"

"Since she isn’t participating in today’s interview, there’s no need to wait for her, right? We can start directly."

However, Lu Sheng suddenly spoke up.

"Ah...right, this is what I also wanted to say."

"The reason I declined the program team’s invitation previously was because my family originally had plans to travel in a few days. The schedules clashed, so I had no choice but to decline."

"But since I came to Beijing this time, those travel plans have been canceled. So in that case, my Fourth Brother and I should have time to join the program."

"What?"

Journalist Lin’s eyes lit up, thoroughly delighted, "Lu Sheng, are you saying both you and Lu Youming will participate in our program? That’s fantastic!"

An additional college entrance examination top scorer who got a full score, alongside the third-ranked contestant with a score of 740—if they didn’t join, could this really be called a gathering of geniuses?

Higher-ups had put immense pressure on them to secure these talents for the program. And now, even before they reached Jiang City, Lu Sheng had agreed to participate.

"I’m not sure about my brother’s decision, but I personally have no issue with it," Lu Sheng responded with a polite smile, though her gaze swept toward Shi Yuwei.

She had been the one to provoke her first.

Not to mention stirring up a commotion earlier.

Lu Sheng was beginning to suspect that last night’s incident involving Lin Fangling wasn’t unrelated to Shi Yuwei.

[Rest assured, nowadays, even the slightest connection to a murder case gets major attention from the authorities, sparking public debates. I wouldn’t casually kill like I did before.]

[What I intend to do is gradually dazzle the public with brilliance. The more they adore me, the stronger my Soul Power becomes—just like how I achieved full marks as the top scorer in the college entrance examination.]

[To think, I couldn’t initially understand why someone ended up achieving full marks alongside me and stealing my thunder, but turns out, that person is you.]

[Stealing my limelight once may not matter...but Qiangwei, know this—you simply can’t outshine me in terms of likability.]

Lu Sheng recalled Shi Yuwei’s words, spoken in the room earlier.

In terms of likability...she couldn’t beat her?

Lu Sheng smirked coldly in her heart. Was she overestimating herself, or underestimating her opponent?
