Rich Side Character Goes Viral for Gossiping on a Laid-Back Reality Show Ch. 67

And Yu Qianxia, little by little, was pushed out—becoming an outsider, watching it all with growing detachment.

Whether it was her relationship with Yu Guangyi or her ties to this so-called home, she no longer cared. She only had one goal: to fulfill her mother's last wish and take back everything that rightfully belonged to her.

If Yan Zhirou wanted to claim the Yu family inheritance, she'd better consider whether she had the ability to pull it off.

Yu Qianxia's eyes held a cool glint as she closed the door behind them once they entered the study.

Yu Guangyi turned to face her, pausing for a moment, caught off guard. He used to prefer his daughter with long hair, but now she wore it short. The cropped style gave her a sharp, spirited look... but long hair...

What was her long hair like again?

Yu Guangyi squinted slightly. The image was fuzzy in his memory.

He let the thought drift away and returned to the moment. "What did you want to talk about?" he asked.

Yu Qianxia didn't beat around the bush. "Did you see the trending topic online?"

He had. The whole Yan Zhirou controversy had blown up, and he had known about it from the beginning.

His gaze stayed calm as he nodded. "I saw it."

"So what's your take on it?" she asked.

Yu Guangyi's brows furrowed slightly. He understood her implication. After a pause, he said, "You think Zhirou would hurt you?"

"Wouldn't she?" Yu Qianxia's voice was laced with cold sarcasm. "Do you actually believe everything they said online?"

His expression darkened, displeased. "Zhirou has always been kind and gentle. She's not that kind of person. I know you've always opposed me marrying Yan Yanhua, and you never looked happy in this house."

"But that doesn't mean you should accuse Zhirou like this. She's practically your sister. We're a family. How could you believe baseless internet rumors and suspect her like this?"

Yu Qianxia listened in silence, her expression unreadable.

"Qianxia, I think you should try to get along with Zhirou," Yu Guangyi continued. "She's a good girl. I didn't support your decision to go into entertainment at first, but now that you're both in the industry, I hope you'll both grow and succeed—together."

"So you believe her? No doubt at all?" Yu Qianxia asked coolly.

Yu Guangyi frowned deeper. "What are you trying to say? You think Zhirou would harm you?"

"Yu Qianxia, I don't want to hear any more of this. Zhirou is my daughter too. I know what kind of person she is."

"You can't handle a bit of scandal in the entertainment world, and instead of looking at yourself, you come here pointing fingers? Is that what I taught you?"

"Taught me?" Yu Qianxia let out a dry laugh. "Did you ever really teach me anything?"

She didn't say another word. Just turned around and walked out.

The conversation had ended in a deadlock.

The study door slammed shut behind her with a loud bang, and Yu Qianxia's eyes showed a flash of mockery.

She really should've seen this coming, shouldn't she?

Yan Zhirou was the beloved daughter in Yu Guangyi's eyes. Of course he wouldn't doubt her—not when it meant facing the truth.

Her gaze turned icy.

It was clear now: this battle against Yan Zhirou was hers to fight alone.

Downstairs, Yan Yanhua had been quietly listening for any signs of movement upstairs. When she saw Yu Qianxia emerge from the study, expression cold, not sparing her a single glance, she felt a jolt of unease crawl up her spine.

Only after Yu Qianxia walked out of the villa without a word—disappearing completely—did Yan Yanhua hurriedly make her way upstairs.

She pushed open the study door—Yu Guangyi sat inside, his expression just as sour.

Yan Yanhua began subtly probing, carefully drawing out the full picture of what had happened. Once she confirmed Yu Guangyi's stance, she finally let out a breath of relief.

Walking out of the study, she immediately took out her phone, smiling as she typed a message to Yan Zhirou.

The moment Yan Zhirou received the message, her tense nerves finally relaxed.

Hah, she sneered inwardly. Yu Qianxia actually thought she could stir things up in front of Yu Guangyi? Does she not know what her status is in this house? She wants to compete with me? Dream on.

With Yu Guangyi's trust firmly in hand, Yan Zhirou's confidence surged. The disadvantage she'd been at? She'd successfully flipped it. Now, all she had to do was wait for the public outrage to settle. Once that happened, she'd go back on the show, back in the spotlight.

It would be a fresh start.

That same night, Yu Qianxia left the Yu villa and returned directly to H City.

With the program on pause for a week, she spent the entire time holed up in her hotel.

Finally, on the eighth day, the livestream resumed.

The filming location hadn't changed—it was still in H City.

During those days off, Yu Qianxia kept an eye on the voting for the popularity house. Let's Go Travel Together was trending like crazy lately. Tons of celebrities were scrambling to get a spot, practically throwing money at it. After a full week of intense voting, the top spot went to a newcomer actress.

Her name was Ye Yanshuang.

How new was she?

So new that she didn't even have a Baidu profile.

A complete rookie.

This would be her first time showing her face to the public.

Yu Qianxia was genuinely curious about where this mystery rookie came from. Unfortunately, her gossip-digging system was still dormant, stuck in cooldown mode.

She pulled up the interface. Only eight hours left until it reactivated.

After coming back from Beijing, Yu Qianxia brought back a few local specialties. Once she arrived at the seaside villa, she handed the carefully selected gifts to Si Churao and Ji Minghan.

Si Churao was delighted with the gift. Smiling, she asked her manager to keep it safe, planning to take it home to enjoy after the shoot.

Ji Minghan, on the other hand, wasn't so thrilled. He looked like the picture of misery, frowning dramatically. "Ughhh, Sister Yu, I'm on a diet now! I can't eat any of this, not even a bite!"

Yu Qianxia laughed. "Don't worry, the shelf life's long. You can just save it for later."
