Chapter 54
On the first day Ji Ruochu and her father were not on the show, the live stream's popularity remained relatively stable, although the popularity of the livestream dropped a lot. But...
Posts about the quarrel were too many to count. Not only the program team, but Fan Jin and Geng Zhenzhen were also blamed by netizens.
【I'm really convinced by this Fan Jin. He only knows how to make trouble when there's no serious work to do!】
【Really. He's too naughty. I said before that the child was wrong and should be reasoned with when the actor beat his son, but now I see... he deserves it!】
【Help! Can this Fan Jin stay away from our Ruochu? First throwing shoes, then grabbing snakes.】
Of course, there were also dissenting opinions.
【Fan Jin is naughty, but he really cares about his sister. Haven't you noticed? Other children may occasionally be scared by insects on the road, but not Ruochu.】
【I know. The child has been guarding his sister like a treasure, always rushing to drive away little bugs first.】
【But that doesn't conceal the fact that he caused his sister to fall into the water! In real life, such people are the most disgusting. They harm people severely under the guise of caring about you.】
......
【To be honest, if Geng Zhenzhen hadn't helped make trouble and blocked Ruochu, our Ruochu would have at most fell on her buttocks. How could she have fallen into the water?】
【Exactly! They are totally jinxes!】
......
【Hey, it was just an accident, right? No one wanted this to happen. I think the program team is to blame for having snakes at the shooting location.】
【Please. It's normal to have snakes in rural fields. Should they scatter realgar powder all over the fields just for shooting?】
......
【Aren't you exaggerating? The river wasn't deep either. Ji Ruochu wasn't hurt. It's no different from tripping and falling. You're being overdramatic.】
"Ruochu, let's go home to see Grandpa, Grandma, Granny and Granddad first. They are very worried about you."
Ji Mochen squatted down to be at eye level with the little one sitting on the bench. "We'll go back to play with your little friends in a couple of days, okay?"
"Okay~" The little one nodded with a bright smile, her two braids swaying.
Ji Mochen smiled, "So happy?"
"If everyone is happy, Ruochu is happy."
Right now, those bad things didn't happen. Everything was as the little Ruochu wished - everyone was fine. How could Ji Ruochu not be happy?
Of course, she had more to do than this.
She had to dig out that segment of the plot that was deliberately concealed. She only hoped it wasn't too late for her to find the trigger for that incident.
She could also insist on going back now, but that would probably hurt the hearts of the elders of both families.
Forget it. The little one's good deed was triggered before she got injured, while she only found out after falling into the water, already too late. She should focus on the loved ones around her.
After all, she had promised the little Ruochu to take good care of their relatives.
So in the next two days, Ji Ruochu began another round of eating, drinking and having fun. Although the Ling family was not as rich and powerful as the Ji family, it was also a family with deep foundations in the arts.
And so, Ji Ruochu enjoyed material abundance while also receiving artistic edification spiritually.
When father and daughter boarded the helicopter headed for Jinjin Village again two days later, the live streaming popularity of the show had already dropped significantly. Now there were only a few loyal fans of each family watching.
Maybe because Ji Ruochu was not there, the few children were also somewhat distracted even when doing tasks, and the food didn't taste as good either.
As for the program team, they also withstood the pressure. After the previous apology statement, they remained silent in the face of criticisms from netizens below, and did not release any updates.
Until this morning, when they received a message from Ji Mochen's agent and footage sent by the camera crew on standby, the chief director finally heaved a huge sigh of relief: Thank goodness, thank Guanyin Bodhisattva, his god of wealth and little lucky star were finally coming back!
