Chapter 348: 348 Push her out?

Seeing each other again in the evening after quarreling during the day was, obviously, somewhat awkward.

So, none of them interacted with each other until after everyone had finished their ablutions and returned to the living room, because the show’s crew needed to arrange tomorrow’s itinerary.

“Tomorrow, we will go to a skydiving base located over one hundred kilometers south of Moscow for skydiving. You all need to rest well tonight. Let me ask, among you, is there anyone who is afraid of heights or has diseases that make it unsuitable to skydive? For instance, high blood pressure, heart disease, and the like?”

“No…”

Everyone responded one after another.

“That’s good, then. Good night, everyone.”

However, as soon as the director left, Binbin immediately grabbed Perry’s arm and said, “Perry, I’m actually scared, I think I’m afraid of heights.”

“If you’re scared, why didn’t you say anything to the director just now?” Perry asked.

“I’m afraid the director would find me troublesome and tell me to get lost, what then?”

“So what should we do? Should we go back and plead with the director? After all… it’s no joke once we’re up in the air.”

At this moment, Shi Lan, seated on the sofa, looked at the two people on her left and said, “The skydiving thing, it was my arrangement.”

“Sister An Lan…” Binbin looked at her, aggrieved.

“If you don’t want to go, you can directly tell the director, ‘I won’t participate in the skydiving.’

When Perry heard this, he laughed out of frustration and countered Shi Lan, “Can’t you have a bit of sympathy? Binbin has already said she’s scared, afraid of heights. Isn’t this forcing someone too hard?”

“Sister An Lan didn’t know in advance that she was afraid of heights. Besides, the director asked just now, and she didn’t speak up herself.” In stark contrast to their initial stance, at this point, the Xu Yang brothers had already taken Shi Lan’s side, and they firmly believed there must be something off with Binbin; otherwise, why would Shi Lan target her and not others?

“Moreover, what Sister An Lan said is truthful. If Binbin is afraid of heights, then she should simply tell the director she won’t participate, right? Does she expect the crew to accommodate her? She’s not incapable of going, so just not choosing it then would suffice, wouldn’t it?”

“Are you all ganging up to ostracize us now?” Perry shot back.

“Ostracize her?” Shi Lan took over the conversation, “Do you think I need to keep wasting my time on such a person?”

“You’re just bullying her, which I have seen and heard with my own eyes and ears!”

At this, Shi Lan smiled briefly and declared, “Afraid of heights, are you? Weren’t you the one who bungee jumped from a tower on a variety show when you were a trainee in South Korea? Afterwards, in an interview, didn’t you say you liked riding roller coasters? If you’re curious, you can search for someone’s variety show clips. Very interesting indeed.”

Binbin’s face immediately turned deathly pale.

“Perry, as a man, you should have some basic discernment. You think you’re protecting the weak, but in reality, you’re just a tool others use to attack someone.”

“You’re just a tool, get it?”

Having said that, Shi Lan took out her phone, found the early videos of someone on a platform, and said, “I’ve forwarded the video to the group. There’s a surprise around the forty-minute mark, no need to thank me.”

Finally, Shi Lan looked at the guilt-ridden Binbin, “Don’t play these childish kindergarten games with me. Bitches and sluts don’t get anywhere with me. You can continue using your advantages to incite men into being your tools, but don’t provoke me. I don’t have that kind of patience.”

After saying this, Shi Lan and Jin Qiu went upstairs together.

Downstairs, several of the boys opened the video on their own phones and fast-forwarded to around the forty-minute mark, where sure enough, there was someone bungee jumping, looking thrilled.

“So this is your so-called fear of heights?” Xu Yang really despised Binbin’s low tricks, sneering, “Lucky for us to have someone like Sister An Lan, an expert at spotting fakes, or who knows how long you might have used us as pawns. I knew it; even Sister Xiaojin, who is always caring towards newcomers, said you were problematic. You definitely have issues.”

“Let’s sleep, let’s sleep… There won’t be any surprises with Sister An Lan around,” Xu Sen said, draping an arm over Xu Yang’s shoulder, as the brothers also left the living room.

At this moment, only Binbin and Perry were left in the living room.

After watching the video, Perry placed it in front of Binbin and asked, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Binbin never expected that she would be exposed twice in one day, and both times it was because of An Lan.

It was because she didn’t understand the Young Mistress’s way of doing things; Shi Lan would take the time to research her opponents’ backgrounds and discover things others might overlook.

Indeed, this good habit had brought her tremendous surprises.

Otherwise, she might have been harassed by Binbin again tonight.

“Perry… listen to me,” Binbin pleaded, pulling at Perry, trying to explain.

“In your heart, am I that easy to deceive?” Perry broke free from Binbin’s grasp, “I always thought you were pitiable, ostracized, unliked, so I protected you, was willing to make mistakes with you, but what’s the result? Am I just a tool for you to use?”

“Perry, I really was targeted by An Lan, haven’t you always seen it?” Binbin continued to argue.

“Was it An Lan who targeted you? During the day on the subway, if you hadn’t started trouble, would An Lan have targeted you? And just now, if you hadn’t lied and deceived everyone, would An Lan have targeted you? It’s only my fault for being blind, for not understanding your schemes, I even thought you were innocent,” scoffed Perry with a snort.

“Perry, don’t be like this, you are all I have left,” Binbin truly started crying.

However, this time, Perry was not fooled. She snorted coldly and said, “Someone like you doesn’t deserve friends.”

Immediately after, Perry stood up and walked away from Binbin, adding, “Let’s pretend we never knew each other.”

“Don’t… Perry, please forgive me.”

But this time, Perry didn’t look back; he had finally understood why Shi Lan had been targeting Binbin all along.

It was his own blindness, his inability to judge people, it was his own… fault.

After everyone left, Binbin remained alone in the living room, which, having been noisy just moments before, suddenly became eerily quiet. Unable to cope with one blow after another, Binbin sat on the sofa and yelled, “Go! Just go! Leave me alone, all of you!”

Who cares about you?

Nobody wants to deal with you!

“It’s all because of you, An Lan!” Binbin cried, and then made a WeChat call to Yan Ziqing.

In the middle of the night at Yan Ziqing’s, a sudden tearful call from Binbin was annoying, but she listened all the way through to Binbin’s complaints about Shi Lan.

“Director Yan, An Lan and the other guests are ostracizing me together, I’m really suffering, I don’t want to continue with the show, I want to go home.”

“Please let me go home, I give up, I really can’t outplay An Lan, she’s too strong.”

However, the first part of Binbin’s crying complaint didn’t have much effect, but it was the last sentence that suddenly sobered Yan Ziqing up.

An Lan is strong?

How strong could she be?

No matter how strong, she couldn’t possibly have more power than the company and herself.

“I got it, I’ll have Xiao Yue handle it.”

Binbin thought that finding Yan Ziqing as her backer meant everything was settled, but she didn’t know that even Yan Ziqing, let alone her, would soon struggle to protect herself.
