Chapter 367

It was indeed true that Sheng Man grew up in the Sheng mansion, taking the place of her daughter where she had a safe, smooth and carefree childhood.

This incident was a fact that Nie Jiqing could not deny and it was also a thorn that would remain etched in her heart forever.

Nie Jiqing gave a look and the angle of the cameras were directed elsewhere. Using that opportunity, Sheng Man was pulled aside to a corner without cameras by the Sheng mansion’s staff.

“It’s best if you made no comments for the remaining duration of the program,” Zhao Ma said, “Do you want the Madam to chase you out again?”

Zhao Ma only listened to Nie Jiqing’s words and used to treat Sheng Man well because she was the adopted daughter of the Sheng family. Now, it seemed like it was impossible to restore Sheng Man’s standings in her heart.

Sheng Man panicked internally before returning into the angle of the cameras, making no move to attract attention to herself once more.

Sheng Man knew that with the Sheng family backing her as her rock, she was previously able to rise to the top. However, she knew that it would be easy for the Sheng family to cut her off as well.

The Sheng family was no longer trying to keep things discreet as everything was out in the open now.

The remaining parts of the program went well. Nie Jiqing sent Ye Zhi away with satisfaction and said meaningfully at the end, “Everyone is welcome to come again next time.”

After the live broadcast of the second season of ‘Can I Be Your Houseguest?’, an edited version was published on the Internet.

After watching the show, everyone clearly understood one thing— Sheng Man was really exiled from the Sheng family.

Mrs. Sheng had agreed to let the production team of the program film the next episode of the show at her house despite knowing that Sheng Man was going to be on the guestlist. Apparently, her actions were deliberate as she used the opportunity to put Sheng Man in an awkward and embarrassed situation.

That way, it was clear to everyone that she had drawn a line with Sheng Man.

Sheng Man had been doted on by Mrs. Sheng for many years, so what was the reason for her current actions without even thinking about the sake of their previous parent-daughter relationship?

“I feel like Sheng Man’s family probably screwed up really badly this time; she was capable of making someone as sophisticated as Mrs. Sheng become unable to control her facial expressions sometimes.”

“Sheng Man should probably work hard from now on and stop pulling any tricks. She can only gain recognition from others if she was going to put the effort into it.”

Amidst the heated discussions, the second season of the show came to an end.

On the other hand, when Ye Zhi returned home, Gu Ren told her about Sheng Lian’s movements in the past few days.

After Sheng Lian got the photo of Ye Zhi, he shut himself at home for two days. Through the act of monitoring his phone, Gu Ren got to know that he only called Liu Cang once.

Liu Cang’s criminal evidence had been submitted to the authorities and now, the police were searching for the man’s whereabouts.

Nie Jiqing’s blatant yet figurative slap in the face towards Sheng Man on the show would let Sheng Lian know that it was hopeless for him to plan to work in the Sheng family’s business in the future.

So, they kept their eyes on Sheng Lian to see if he would make the next move.

Gu Ren delayed his schedule for the next few days, but Ye Zhi still maintained her original exposure to the industry. Her work schedule continued as the only change was her being more careful than ever.

Gu Ren looked at Ye Zhi as his thin lips parted slightly, “I have a request.”

Ye Zhi listened attentively, “What is it?”
