You were asked to be on a dating variety show, but all the guests failed?

Chapter 158 He is really going to break
Now, there are seven people on the sightseeing bus, including four male and three female guests, and the only one missing is Shu Yi.

Han Fei was a little curious——

Logically, Shu Yi and Zhao Mingtao should have lived together yesterday, and even if they left after getting up, they wouldn't live too far away. But the production team picked up Zhao Mingtao and didn't wait for Shu Yi to get on the car, so they put her last.

What about people?

But soon Han Fei had no time to think about this matter.

Because he saw Lu Xiaoli leisurely walk to the empty seat behind Zhao Mingtao and Lu Siyuan and sit down, put down her things, then reached out and patted Lu Siyuan's shoulder in front of her, and said with a smile:
"Hello, Mr. Lu. I used to follow your group and was considered a former fan. I didn't expect to see it in person today."

"My name is Lu Xiaoli. I have the same last name as you. Maybe we were from the same family five hundred years ago."

Lu Siyuan:……?
Lu Siyuan felt puzzled.

He was somewhat familiar with the name, but he couldn't remember who the person was for a moment. He could only guess that it might be some unknown celebrity who had occasionally been on hot searches or in the news. Otherwise, how could he sound so familiar but couldn't remember who he was at all?

There is a saying that reaches out and does not hit the smiling person.

Lu Xiaoli showed her goodwill so fully. Among all the guests, only Zhao Mingtao was on the same side as her. The others either had a grudge against her or were unfamiliar to her. So Lu Siyuan smiled and turned around to shake hands with her:

"Hello, Miss Lu. I think you look familiar. Have you ever acted in a play or done any related work before?"

Lu Xiaoli looked at Zhao Mingtao next to her with a subtle expression and just smiled:
"This... you should know it soon."

After saying that, she nodded meaningfully, then leaned back in her chair, with no intention of continuing to chat with Lu Siyuan.

Lu Siyuan looked at Zhao Mingtao beside him in confusion:
"what?"

An angry hashtag almost popped out on Zhao Mingtao's forehead.

What an idiot!
Lu Siyuan couldn’t recognize him, so could it be that Zhao Mingtao couldn’t recognize him either?

Although Zhao Mingtao's relationships with men and women are relatively complicated, even numerous, Zhong Xiaoyun is one of the few long-term partners he has had among so many men and women, and they have been together for a relatively long time. Usually, when Zhao Mingtao has nothing to do, he lives with Zhong Xiaoyun. If you leave out other people, the two of them are no different from other cohabiting couples.

It is precisely because of their close relationship that Zhao Mingtao certainly knows who Lu Xiaoli is.

Sometimes when Zhong Xiaoyun was so upset that she wanted to divorce, she would ask Zhao Mingtao for advice. Zhao Mingtao even asked someone to investigate Lu Xiaoli's situation. How could he not know who this person was? He knew too well!

He never expected that things would come to this point.

It was unexpected and troublesome enough that Xu Qingan was one of the guests, and now there’s Lu Xiaoli too. What the hell is going on!

Zhao Mingtao's face turned pale and he lowered his head to send a message to Lu Siyuan.

[Stupid, you are a fucking idiot, right? Go to the hot search and search for recent entries related to Zhong Xiaoyun, and then ask me who Lu Xiaoli is! ]

[She greeted you and you greeted her. Haha, she used to be a fan, but she wasn't a fan of your group. She only followed Han Fei. You actually believed her polite words. Are you stupid? ]

In his death stare, Lu Siyuan finally realized that something was wrong. After seeing the message, he immediately switched the software and searched according to what Zhao Mingtao said.

However, because there were too many entries, he added the pinyin of Lu Xiaoli's name after Zhong Xiaoyun's entry, and a related search popped up a post with the topic #Zhong Xiaoyun secretly married and had a child#.

After reading it, Lu Siyuan's silence was deafening.

It turns out that this Lu Xiaoli is the source of all evil, the beginning of the program going astray, and the woman who exposed Zhong Xiaoyun during the live broadcast and caused him to fall.

Not only did the post explain in detail the causes and consequences of the events in the live broadcast, it also posted screenshots of the live broadcast. Although there were injuries on Lu Xiaoli's face in the screenshots that were more serious than they looked now and she might not be recognizable at first glance, she was right next to them now and anyone with sufficient knowledge would be able to compare the results.

She is actually Zhong Xiaoyun's ex-wife? !

[No, Mr. Zhao, I really don't know this. I've seen the news, but I really didn't recognize her... What on earth is Sichuan Southern TV trying to do? If they want to hype up the situation, they should have kept Zhong Xiaoyun as well. Now that Zhong Xiaoyun has already left the show, who are they trying to annoy by letting Lu Xiaoli in?]

Lu Siyuan's fingers were almost leaving afterimages as he typed, for fear that if he was a step slower, he would be severely marked down in Zhao Mingtao's little notebook.

Zhao Mingtao's attention was indeed diverted.

[Who else could it be except to annoy me? Why are you pretending? Don’t you know what the relationship between me and Zhong Xiaoyun is? ]

[I can now confirm that this was definitely done by Xu Qingan. Although it is not clear how he found out about the relationship between me and Zhong Xiaoyun, there is no need for Sichuan Southern TV to do this. Just me, Shu Yi, and Xu Qingan are already enough topics and heat, and Lu Xiaoli is a bit too much, which is superfluous.]

[If Xu Qingan did it, the motivation and logic would make sense. ]

[Among the people who can speak up, only Xu Qingan and I have such a deep hatred. ]

Lu Siyuan put down his phone in a daze.

His mood is very complicated now.

How should I put it? I feel a little confused about the situation, but also a little relieved... ?
Since the situation was created by Xu Qing'an, his targets were Zhao Mingtao and Shu Yi. Now, Lu Xiaoli was arranged just to annoy Zhao Mingtao.

It’s messy, it’s true, but it’s not messy enough for me!

Lu Siyuan was stunned for a moment, then he secretly searched for a hidden dialog box and put his head against the camera to prevent the conversation from being captured.

[Sister, this show seems to have been bought and controlled by Xu Qingan. Not only did he invite me and Mr. Zhao, but Xu Qingan is also here, and Zhong Xiaoyun's ex-wife is here too. I feel like things are going to get chaotic. Do you want to prepare a PR team in advance? ]

On the other side, the only sister responded very quickly, as if she had specially set aside time to deal with today's problem.

[I heard that Wushuang is already preparing, so you should act accordingly. If Zhao Mingtao is completely exposed, don't get involved. You haven't cleaned up your own troubles yet, and it's better for him to fail than for you.]

[After figuring out the situation, I also warned him: It's good that nothing happened this time. If something happens, he will dare to bite people recklessly. No one in Wushuang or Qu family will care about him.]

While Lu Siyuan was secretly glad that this matter had little to do with him, he also felt frightened and even chilled.

Liu Shaomei is now desperately protecting him, and he knows the reason. If we only talk about the weight in the industry, Zhao Mingtao, the marketing manager of Wushuang Film and Television, is of course more important. If you want to sacrifice the pawn to save the chariot, you should sacrifice others to save Zhao Mingtao. But if Zhao Mingtao bites Lu Siyuan and randomly bites out related things, it will be enough to make many people drink a pot.

Liu Shaomei certainly wanted to protect him. Lu Siyuan had been able to climb up steadily over the years, not only because he served people well, but also because he understood the importance of tying up interests. He had enough things and things to deal with, so that those people would be afraid and would not dare to abandon him unless necessary.

Look at Zhao Mingtao - no matter what, Zhao Mingtao also has the blood of the Qu family flowing in his body, so couldn't Liu Shaomei just throw him away at will?
"Mr. Zhao..."

Lu Siyuan weighed the matter for a moment and handed the phone directly to Zhao Mingtao, letting him look at it himself.

He would not warn on behalf of Liu Shaomei. If something really happened, forget it, but if Zhao Mingtao escaped unscathed, Liu Shaomei, who was not in charge at that time, would not just make things difficult for him, Lu Siyuan? He was stupid enough to warn himself!

Zhao Mingtao glanced at Lu Siyuan's phone screen, his expression did not change, still as livid as before, and he seemed not surprised at all, he even twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he was smiling.

He threw the phone back into Lu Siyuan's hand.

"I know what's appropriate."

…………

Even with so many troublemakers in the car, there was no trouble at all. It was so quiet in the car that it was a little eerie.

The sightseeing bus drove peacefully all the way until it braked and stopped at the entrance of a residential area.

Han Fei looked at the gate of the community with a little curiosity:

"Community?"

"Isn't the last guest Shu Yi? I haven't heard that she usually lives in Changshan. Why is she renting a house..."

“Could it be that there are things like serviced apartments in this community, or high-end B&Bs?”

He didn't mean to ask anyone when he said this, he was just mumbling, but Xu Qing'an next to him heard it.

Xu Qingan shook his head:

"This residential complex was developed by my company a few years ago. The last batch of houses was delivered at the beginning of this year. She also bought a house here at an internal discount price."

"At that time, I mentioned that there was a project in Changshan. In two years, a subway would be planned at the entrance of the community, but the higher-ups had not yet confirmed it. The project didn't dare to use this as a promotion to raise the price, fearing that they would be punished. She was planning to invest, so she decided to buy it."

"She was still dating me when we bought the house. I said I would give her a house as a gift, but she disagreed and insisted on buying it with her own money. She also said that if I really wanted to help her, I could just give her a discount."

"That was when I was totally devoted to her. Speaking of which, other women were after my money. If it was someone else, I would have given her a house as a gift, but she insisted on buying it herself..."

When Han Fei saw his expression, he began to recall the past. He felt that as long as Shu Yi came to surrender, he would be soft-hearted. He thought to himself, this thing called love brain is something that even zombies won't eat!

So Han Fei took out his phone and searched for the relevant laws of this parallel world. Then he thought about it and said seriously:

"Is it possible that if you gave her the house before marriage, according to the recently revised Marriage Law, after you break up or divorce, you can bring your bank statements or other evidence to court to get the house back, or ask her to exchange it for cash compensation?"

The expression on Xu Qingan's face, which was originally reminiscing about the years of love, suddenly froze.

Han Fei continued his efforts:

"Think carefully, Brother Xu. She should have accepted all the expensive gifts you gave her before the wedding, such as jewelry and bags, right?"

Xu Qingan nodded stiffly.

Han Fei patiently persuaded:

"Then think about it. Let me give you an example. If you buy a bunch of luxury bags and jewelry for one million yuan, she is willing to accept them, but she insists on buying a house worth millions. Why is that?"

Xu Qing'an felt like his brain was a little stuck and shook his head stiffly.

Han Fei smiled:

"Remember this little legal tip: Because gifts are given to each other by men and women during a relationship to foster affection, they are generally considered gifts, and in principle they cannot be revoked if they have been actually performed."

"When a man and a woman are in love, they give small amounts of property, such as jewelry, clothing, money, etc., to each other for the purpose of pursuing the other party or expressing love, or on birthdays or anniversaries. Because it involves emotional, love and etiquette factors, it is a normal gift of love and generally should not be returned."

"This is called a general gift. There is another kind of gift called a conditional gift."

"The gift of large amounts of property during a relationship is often based on the relationship between the two parties. The purpose of the donor is to get married, and the gift can be regarded as a conditional gift. When the two parties cannot enter into a marriage relationship or the relationship is dissolved, the purpose of the donor's gift cannot be achieved, so the donor has the right to ask the recipient to return the property."

"Large amounts of property here can be cars, houses, or betrothal gifts. In other words, as long as the gifts you give are large enough and sufficient, you can basically get them back if you file a lawsuit. Unless you are crazy and write a contract saying that the house is an unconditional gift to the other party when you give it away."

"Also, if you didn't break up and got married, she bought this house with her own money, and you weren't married yet, so it was definitely pre-marital property. Your family wouldn't ask her to add your name to the house title, so even if you got married or divorced, the house would be hers from beginning to end. The lowest internal price you offered doesn't count. Oh, no, it counts. It's your bad luck."

"I said this, do you understand?"

Xu Qing'an neither nodded nor shook his head.

The expression on his face was blank, as if he was thinking, but a closer look revealed that he seemed about to break.

Han Fei could understand and even had some sympathy.

The foolish son of the landlord had never considered that there were so many twists and turns behind a mere house. After all, considering Xu Qing'an's family background, a house, and a property in a residential community developed by his family, should be given away and there is no reason to ask for it back.

The housing prices in Changshan are not high. If it were in Beijing or Shanghai, it would indeed be expensive, but why would you want a house in Changshan?

Xu Qing'an probably couldn't have imagined that Shu Yi, who he didn't care about money, had actually been on guard against him since they were in love. In those years that he thought were innocent, he was actually the only one who was taken advantage of.

He's really going to break.
