Chapter 156
Lang Zhe's physical appearance was quite decent. With a bit of formal dressing up, he really looked like a handsome young man nervously preparing to propose.
"You can't judge a book by its cover. Just looking at his appearance, you'd really think his values were as proper as his facial features," Pei Mingxuan said. "Now he's here to propose. Could it be that he's reformed and is ready to pursue true love again? Hah!"
The "hah" indicated that Sister Pei wouldn't be easily fooled.
"A gambler quitting gambling and a man's words being trustworthy are both absolute lies. This guy has hit both, so we can basically conclude that this is all fake," Pei Mingxuan coldly analyzed. "He's trying to deceive Sun Man."
[Agreed. Let me take a look at this guy...]
Ji Fei, who could finally see the person, was ready to enjoy the drama.
Nearby, Qin Zhao and Qin Rong also became internally excited.
[I knew it! This guy owes another 50 million in gambling debts. And he's already been warned by debt collectors.]
Qin Zhao and Qin Rong watched Lang Zhe on stage with twitching lips, seeing him still wearing a happy smile, being congratulated, and even acting shy.
[As long as they get married, he'll be able to use Sun Man's assets. Sun Man has always worked hard, and her acting fees and commercial value are very high. He thinks Sun Man will definitely be able to cover his debts.]
[Those calculations are so obvious they're hitting me in the face. You really dare to dream, huh? Where on earth does your confidence come from, thinking that someone you've deceived before will still marry you and help you pay off your debts?]
Qin Zhao and Qin Rong also found it extremely absurd. This was way too far-fetched.
They casually found seats in the audience area to wait and watch the drama unfold.
"Tsk, why is there even a live stream?" Pei Mingxuan's sharp eyes quickly spotted it, and she hurriedly cautioned, "You didn't even give a heads up. You two be careful."
Ji Fei then noticed that besides the professional camera crew arranged on stage, there were also people among the helpers holding up their phones.
[Oh boy, if he gets rejected, won't that be in front of the entire internet? Is he blindly confident, or is he counting on Sun Man's soft personality to deliberately emotionally blackmail her?]
Qin Zhao and Qin Rong both felt the possibility of emotional blackmail was higher.
The director and producer probably noticed too and quickly arranged for someone to go up and ask about the situation.
Those people, judging by their attire, were clearly from the rap circle, here to cheer on Lang Zhe.
Live streaming wasn't explicitly forbidden, and since it had already been broadcast, it wouldn't be good for them to demand it be shut down now.
In the end, the producer and director just treated it as a warm-up for the next episode, even though their show didn't really need a warm-up.
Ji Fei took out her phone and started searching for the live stream room. After all, they were sitting far away in the audience and couldn't hear what the people on stage were saying. Having the live stream as an aid would be much better.
At first, there weren't many people in the rapper's live stream room, but as the content of the live stream progressed, many people realized that this was the studio of "My Acting, Cut!", and the person being proposed to was Sun Man from the next episode. The popularity of the live stream suddenly skyrocketed.
Everyone flocked in to watch the excitement.
"The flowers here are all said to be the ones sister-in-law likes. My brother has put in a lot of effort, hasn't he? Lang Zhe really likes Sun Man. He's even prepared a surprise for Sun Man for the proposal. I've never seen him put in so much effort before. He's really determined to spend the rest of his life with her."
Probably seeing many questions floating in the live stream comments: Didn't Sun Man and Lang Zhe break up? When did they get back together? How did it progress to marriage so quickly? When did the plot fast-forward?
"Ah well, breaking up doesn't mean they're not in love, right? Moreover, mother-in-law is quite approving of sister-in-law now."
These words made it sound as if the initial breakup was because of the picky mother-in-law, Teacher Lu.
Ji Fei did a quick search.
[Hah! So he's a gambling accomplice. No wonder he's full of lies. How shameless.]
Qin Zhao and Qin Rong had also watched the live stream. Seeing that person acting like he was helping his good brother secure his future wife was truly nauseating.
"More importantly, our Lang Zhe has already gotten the support of his future in-laws. Right now, sister-in-law's mother and uncle are helping to keep it a secret from her. Everyone, wait to witness this romantic proposal!"
After being misled like this, the comments quickly filled with blessings for the 'young couple finally overcoming all obstacles'.
"These two actually agreed? I remember when Sun Man and Lang Zhe were dating before, these two seemed very displeased," Pei Mingxuan said puzzledly.
Ji Fei also found it strange.
[Back then, they were displeased because they were afraid Sun Man would get married after dating and then not be under their control anymore, not be their cash cow. But now...]
Just as Qin Zhao and Qin Rong were listening curiously, someone shouted, "Quiet, she's coming!"
The venue instantly fell silent, and the main lights suddenly went out, leaving only the candles on the ground lit.
Suddenly, a leisurely acapella rang out. It was Lang Zhe singing a love song.
After all, he was a singer, so his singing skills were not a problem. It's just that the sweet love song sounded very fake to Ji Fei and the others.
At this time, someone was stepping onto the path formed by candlelight. They seemed to stop halfway, not wanting to continue, but were pulled along to keep walking.
At the end of the candle-lit path, a figure could be vaguely seen kneeling on one knee.
In an instant, all the lights came on, and the onlookers on the stage burst into cheers.
Ji Fei saw Sun's Mother pulling Sun Man on stage, with Sun's Uncle following behind.
Teacher Lu also appeared on the other side of the stage, quietly watching.
Aliali: 673eb950c4f3f33ac4ee7f08The live stream showed a closer view.
All that could be seen was a face born to be a leading lady, without technology or hard work, black hair and black eyes, naturally sweet, but now stiff and pale, with an unpleasant expression.
But Lang Zhe seemed completely oblivious, or simply didn't care.
His face full of deep emotion, he began, "Man Man, I was wrong, I was really wrong. You know I love you very much. I can't live without you. I was just confused at that time and made you unhappy, but I swear to you, from now on, whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. Whatever you don't want me to do, I absolutely won't do. All the troubles and problems have been dealt with. Please give me another chance."
After saying this, Lang Zhe held up the ring box, took out the women's ring inside, his voice almost choked with excitement.
"Sun Man, please marry me. I know you've always wanted a family, and I want to give you a family, to become the family member who loves you the most. In the future, we'll have children, and we'll definitely have a warm family. I swear, this time I won't let you down."
Outsiders didn't know what he meant, they could only think about issues like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law not getting along, and him failing to mediate as the person in the middle.
But Sun Man and Ji Fei's group knew what he was talking about. He was referring to quitting gambling.
This seemed like a person who had truly reformed and was trying hard to win back his love. You could even see his devout gaze and glistening tears in the live stream video.
[Damn, know the face but not the heart. With acting skills like these, it's a waste you're not an actor,] Ji Fei couldn't help but mock in her heart. [Just like Sister Pei said, a man's mouth plus a gambler, double buff. That's not just a ghost tricking people, that's a devil! Determined to suck every last drop of your blood!]
