The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family

Chapter 179

"Oh, Sister Li, don't worry, I understand, I understand, nothing inappropriate will appear..."

The director hung up the phone, his smile fading as he closed his eyes and sighed.

The assistant director beside him leaned in cautiously and asked, "What's wrong? Did Song Yuanye's agent say something?"

The director gave a cold snort. "What else could they say? They want PR, they want editing, they want all negative stuff about Song Yuanye cut out."

The assistant director frowned. "But this is live broadcasting." The director sighed. "Luckily, I told the cameramen to be sharp."

When it seemed things were going south, the director had instructed the cameramen following Song Yuanye to be discreet. Fortunately, the situation didn't escalate too much, and PR wasn't a huge issue.

"Then why are you still worried?"

The director looked towards the nearby indoor set where the variety show guests had gathered. He hadn't forgotten that there was also a 'Startrack' artist among them, whose career path overlapped with Song Yuanye's.

He had thought this would be a hot topic, but now it seemed like a 'landmine'!

Inside the room, everything was still peaceful. Song Yuanye quickly adjusted his state of mind and sat at the dining table chatting with everyone. Directly across from him was the 'Startrack' artist mentioned by the director.

Lu Yichi, a newly debuted singer-dancer, was gaining quite a bit of popularity.

What's more, this kid looked somewhat similar to him, and 'Startrack' had obviously invested a lot in cultivating him.

Thinking of this, Song Yuanye frowned, his eyes flashing with displeasure, but he quickly returned to his usual sunny demeanor.

"......I heard from the production team that you guys went to the racetrack today, Yuanye?"

Song Yuanye's expression stiffened as he smiled at the speaker, an experienced actor in the entertainment industry.

"Yes, I like racing cars in my spare time, so I went for a drive."

The actor was quite surprised. "That's impressive." Song Yuanye shyly smiled. "It's okay."

Cheng Shu sneakily glanced up at Song Yuanye's face, then quickly lowered her head to continue eating. She wanted to avoid any involvement in this topic!

On the opposite side, Lu Yichi smirked. He had just overheard the production team discussing what happened during the day.

He hadn't expected Song Yuanye to coincidentally run into his boss's sister, Jing Yi, and even more so, he hadn't expected this guy to have the audacity to keep up his 'racing driver' persona.

Oh no, he had forgotten what his agent said about managing his expressions.

Lu Yichi quickly suppressed his smile, which the live viewers didn't catch, but Song Yuanye did.

He looked up at the person across from him, his lips curling into a meaningful smile as he asked, "What's wrong, Yichi? Did you want to say something?"

In an instant, all eyes in the room were on Lu Yichi. He inwardly cursed Song Yuanye's cunning, but who could blame him? After all, Song Yuanye was a senior and had more popularity.

Lu Yichi obediently smiled. "What could I possibly want to say? Just like Brother Zhou, I think you're very impressive, Brother Yuanye."

However, he wasn't that obedient.

Just as Song Yuanye was about to further pressure him, hoping to divert all the fans' anger towards Lu Yichi, he heard the latter say something.

"It's just a coincidence, but our CEO's little sister, Jing Yi, also likes racing."

Song Yuanye's smile froze, his eyes turning sharp, while Lu Yichi continued to smile brightly, as if completely unaware of the events of the day, merely mentioning it casually.

[Oh, Lu Yichi is quite brave, huh?]

[What? What? Did I miss something?]

[Hey, upstairs, you missed something explosive earlier. Basically, Song Yuanye challenged Jing Yi to a race at the track, only to be utterly crushed by her subordinate.]

[That's so explosive!!]

Soon, these comments were drowned out by fans' messages, with some major fans deliberately trying to cover up the morning's incident.

Song Yuanye calmed down and smiled. "Yes, it was quite a coincidence. I met her today." Cheng Shu, holding chopsticks, paused slightly, lowering her head and closing her eyes. This meal was going to be anything but peaceful.

Lu Yichi seemed quite surprised by this and smiled even more brightly. "Really? That's quite a coincidence. I often hear our CEO talk about how skilled Jing Yi is at racing. Isn't that right, Brother Yuanye?"

Cheng Shu inwardly admired how Lu Yichi's words hit the mark.

Song Yuanye's smile slowly faded. Indeed, anything related to 'Startrack' was just annoying.

"I've often heard about it too, but I haven't seen it. However, racing is quite dangerous. With Jing Yi being such a beautiful young lady, it's probably not suitable for her to engage in such activities. It's too dangerous."

This statement completely left Lu Yichi speechless, and he couldn't help but smile, his eyes filled with a hint of sympathy. "I wouldn't dare agree with that. If our CEO heard, I'd be out of a job."

This wasn't him exaggerating. Not only was the CEO, Jing Zejun, extremely doting on his sister, Jing Yi, but if such words reached him, it would definitely mean the end of his career.

Besides, her family hadn't said anything against it, so what right did an outsider have to comment?

[Is Song Yuanye brainless or what?]

[Whether Jing Yi can race or not, even the Jing family hasn't said anything. Who does this guy think he is, with his old-fashioned mindset?]

[I'm not a fan of Song Yuanye, nor am I a hater, but his comment is just baffling.]

[What should a girl be doing? Playing with Barbie dolls or staying home to take care of kids?]

[More importantly, how good is he at racing? I've only heard his fans bragging. Where are the results?]

Aliali: 6759ae46c6a463ab1708774c[He's just an amateur racer, heavily promoted, but if we're talking real skills, Jing Yi's racing videos have been reposted by top racers like Ross. Check it out on foreign platforms.]

[The guy was just being considerate, so sweet. Why are you all overreacting?]

[Exactly, I don't get it. He's such a gentle and considerate person, why are there so many haters?]

[Girls shouldn't be doing this! What's with racing, just putting on a show!]

Although Song Yuanye's fans were deliberately flooding the chat with positive messages, the general audience wasn't buying it, and the comments became even more heated.

Originally, the incident with Jing Yi had been suppressed, but the intense discussion in the live chat made it resurface.

Song Yuanye stiffened, realizing he had let his anger get the better of him, completely forgetting about Jing Yi's brother, Jing Zejun, and the Jing Family's influence.

He forced a smile. "Guess I spoke out of turn." He smiled at the camera. "I hope CEO Jing and Miss Jing don't mind."

Unbeknownst to him, the suppressed hot search topic had resurfaced.

The people at the dining table gradually sensed the tension but continued chatting naturally, creating a warm and lively atmosphere indoors.
