Reflecting on it again, even if their children had shortcomings, it was rare for biological parents to go on a show to complain, especially those who only gave birth but never raised them.
The assistant director came to call for people, and Cheng Ge beckoned Xia Weiliang to go out.
On the way, he put his hand on the young girl's shoulder and said in a seasoned tone, "Listen to your brother, it's no big deal. Silence is the best counterattack! What is public opinion? When things reach an extreme, they reverse! Just listen to your brother, and you won't go wrong!"
Xia Weiliang was amused and said, "I'll remember, thank you, Cheng Ge!"
Seeing their dynamic, Sister Hua quickly squeezed between them, linked her arm with Xia Weiliang's, and whispered, "Cheng Ge is asking you for money again, isn't he? Girl, you can't lend it to him! Cheng Ge still owes me the thirty-eight yuan from last time!"
Cheng Ge rolled his eyes, "Only you have such a good memory!"
Xia Weiliang smiled, linking Sister Hua with one hand and gently patting Cheng Ge with the other, "Coffee later, my treat."
Cheng Ge slapped his palm, "See? See? You still have to be my girl!"
"What, what?" Ruirui ran over, "Who's treating? I want to be treated too! I want to be treated too!"
Sister Hua laughed and cursed, "I told you to stay away from Cheng Ge, and look at you, you've learned all his stinginess! What, do you want to be a 'Tie Jiang Jun' (Iron General)?"
Cheng Ge pulled Ruirui into his embrace, "My brother must be tough!"
And so, Ruirui gained another nickname on the show: Tie Jiang Jun.
The family should be complete, so Xia Weiliang also gave herself one: Tie Niangzi.
When they reached Sister Hua, before she could even speak, Cheng Ge blurted out, "Tie Fugui!"
The whole place erupted in laughter. Sister Hua was so annoyed she was speechless, jumping up to chase him.
"Hey, hey, hey, so many people are watching, don't! It'll be bad if we spark some rumors later!"
Sister Hua roared, "Who wants to spark rumors with you?! Isn't Ruirui sweet enough?!"
Xia Weiliang, who was watching the fun with a carefree laugh, suddenly made an Er Kang hand gesture, "Fugui Jie, wait!"
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Everyone knew about the rumors between Xia Weiliang and Ruirui, but it was so hilarious when the parties involved acknowledged it!
Cheng Ge wouldn't be left out either, "If you're going to say that, then I can too!"
Sister Hua almost rolled her eyes out of her head, "We young people are discussing our careers here, how come you're involved in everything?"
"Heh... heh..." Little Cute Ruirui let out a goose-like laugh, looking like the silly son of the village head as his older siblings vied to form a CP with him.
Thus, amidst the laughter and banter, the Tie family was established.
It was strange, but they had initially been regulars and interns. Because they shared a common "surname," they developed a sense of family honor and mission, and the four of them became more in sync.
In this atmosphere, the first episode of "Challenge!" featuring Xia Weiliang aired on Orange Channel as scheduled.
The show's official Weibo posted a promotion and tagged Xia Weiliang.
【Hah, no wonder she's fading, they even invited a legally problematic artist!】
【The person above, please watch what you say. Making a final judgment without factual basis is defamation!】
【The person above, just shut up. Does Xia Weiliang's abandonment of her child need further announcement?】
【I'm not taking anyone's side, just stating facts. That couple clearly has issues, they're just afraid others won't know their daughter is unfilial! Their daughter is a star, how is this different from ruining her career? What kind of hatred is it, to force their daughter to death? If I were Xia Weiliang, I'd stay far away from them too!】
【+1, when my mom and I were watching the show, my mom said that couple definitely had something fishy going on. I asked her why, and she said it was a mother's intuition!】
【So I'm not the only one. Oh my god, I finally found my people! Please, someone, ban them quickly! Disclaimer: I am Yimi, I'm not a fan of Xia Niangniang, but I don't hate her. I simply believe she's the victim in this situation.】
【Hurry up and do a paternity test!】
As an established reality show, "Challenge!" had always performed moderately. Usually, a Weibo post would get at most a thousand comments, and very few reposts.
However, thanks to the buzz Xia Weiliang generated, within two hours of posting, the comments had exceeded ten thousand!
What did this mean?
This meant she was going to be famous!!
Director Song slammed the table: Black fame is still fame!
