Chapter 55 Coincidence
What Qi Ziyan said was so funny that Ji Chenxing didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

"If you want to settle the accounts this way, then I think we should not settle the accounts at all, lest you end up not figuring out anything in the end and your IQ is exposed first."

After Ji Chenxing finished speaking, he took two bites of the food and really had no intention of talking to Qi Ziyan anymore.

Ji Yunfan picked up a shrimp for Ji Chenxing and put it in the bowl. "Sister, I don't think he wants to settle accounts with you at all. He asked this question not for the purpose of settling accounts, but just to find an excuse to blame our family."

Qi Ziyan was anxious, "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if we don't talk about this punch, she was the one who gave him the slap afterwards, right?"

"If you ask me, I should hit you." Ji Yunfan had a bad temper to begin with. "You're a man in his twenties, but you hide behind my sister when you encounter trouble. You're so shameless!"

Qi Ziyan wanted to say something but was interrupted by Ji Huaiyu's cell phone ringing.

Ji Huaiyu picked up the phone and was stunned for a moment when he saw the caller on the screen. He asked himself, "Why did this guy have time to call me today?"

In front of the camera, Ji Huaiyu did not say who the caller was. He just said mysteriously, "I'm going to take a call," and left the live broadcast room.

The situation got out of control for a while. Liang Sheng rubbed his brows and said, "We are all victims. What is there to argue about between victims? I believe the police will find out the truth in the end and give everyone justice."

The show still had to go on as normal. Liang Sheng flipped through the comments and said, "The next question is for Ji Yunfan."

Liang Sheng glanced at Ji Yunfan, confirmed that he was listening, and read out the comments.

"I still remember the scene when Ji Yunfan said 'Welcome to the Villa Survival'. I dare to ask Ji Yunfan, after eating such a lunch, are you still a 'Villa Survival'?"

The camera turned to Ji Yunfan. Taking this opportunity, the makeup artist rushed to Qi Ziyan and helped him touch up his makeup. Although it was not much different from before, overall, it was not as scary as before.

Liang Sheng quickly lowered his voice and said to Qi Ziyan: "Be calm, we can handle the matter of her beating you privately."

In order to quickly calm Qi Ziyan's emotions, Liang Sheng even took advantage of Qi Ziyan's weakness and gave a guarantee:

"Don't worry, if it turns out that this incident has nothing to do with you and that Ji Chenxing maliciously framed you, our program team will definitely help you restore your reputation."

Just now, the reason why Qi Ziyan got so angry with Ji Chenxing was simply because his reputation was ruined.

Reputation is too important for artists. Artists with bad reputations cannot get good roles, and even if they do, the roles they take will most likely fail, and their reputations will get worse and worse, falling into a vicious cycle.

Qi Ziyan is currently in the rising period of his career, so it is understandable that he reacted strongly to this matter.

After all, a lost reputation means the end of a career before it even begins.

Liang Sheng is a famous director in the industry and his words are very credible. What's more, the movie "The Legitimate Daughter Becomes the Queen" that Qi Ziyan really wants to shoot is in Liang Sheng's hands.

When Qi Ziyan heard Liang Sheng say that he wanted to restore his reputation, he adjusted his mood almost immediately, "Really, Director Liang, are you willing to believe me and restore my reputation?"

Liang Sheng nodded, "I promise you first, as long as the police find out that you did not participate in the murder of Miss Ji, I will not only restore your reputation, but also leave you a few roles in "The Firstborn Daughter Becomes the Queen" for you to choose from."

There are dozens or even hundreds of roles in a play. It takes someone to play the emperor, and it also takes someone to play the eunuch; it also takes someone to play the protagonist, and it also takes someone to play the supporting role. It is not difficult to give Qi Ziyan a few roles, and it is up to him whether to choose them or not.

Qi Ziyan is young and has only been in the industry for a short time, so he didn't think much about what Liang Sheng said. He just felt that he had turned a disaster into a blessing and that he was safe this time.

As for the plot to murder Ji Chenxing, Qi Ziyan was indeed involved, but he was lucky and thought the police would not be able to find him. The mysterious person who contacted him also said that he was only responsible for leading Ji Chenxing to the middle of the road, and he did not directly hurt her. Even if they investigated, they would not be able to find out, and it could only be a coincidence at most.

Qi Ziyan deeply agreed with this.

"I didn't mean to hurt Ji Chenxing. I just happened to take her across that road." After Qi Ziyan defended himself, he thanked Liang Sheng.

Liang Sheng felt overwhelmed. He responded to Qi Ziyan perfunctorily a few times and asked Qi Ziyan to watch the live broadcast and not to fall behind the pace.

Qi Ziyan quickly turned his gaze to Ji Yunfan who was answering the question.

After receiving the question, Ji Yunfan first joked with the audience in the live broadcast room and delayed the time for a while. He only started to answer after Liang Sheng and Qi Ziyan had discussed it.

"Actually, I said 'Villa Survival' yesterday because I felt the production crew didn't give us enough living expenses. I just said it casually. The production crew didn't mistreat us. Please don't misunderstand."

Following Ji Yunfan's answer, the atmosphere in the comment section gradually became lively.

"As for whether we should continue to live in the villa, I think we should, because the food is quite expensive and we are no different from having no food to eat after the previous one."

Ji Yunfan said, then changed the subject, "And the most important point is that we are not the only family living in this villa. We cannot judge whether it is still considered 'survival in the villa' just because we are no longer 'surviving in the villa'. We need to ask other people's opinions."

After Ji Yunfan finished speaking, the camera gave a close-up of the Qi family’s dining table at the right time.

There were only a few plates of light green vegetables on the mahogany dining table, which looked particularly shabby.

Ji Yunfan's answer not only had a good effect on the show, but also made the Qi family feel involved. This is a good answer.

Liang Sheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Next, it's Ji Yunfan's turn to ask questions." Liang Sheng was hosting the event and was about to continue speaking when he saw Ji Huaiyu coming back with an angry look on his face.

"Can I say a few words first?" Ji Huaiyu asked, "It's related to what happened this morning. There's no need to argue anymore. The police have made the latest progress."

Ji Huaiyu is a level-headed businessman, and Liang Sheng believes that he will not speak nonsense during the live broadcast.

And the direction of this matter is indeed what everyone is concerned about.

"You speak first." Liang Sheng agreed.

Ji Huaiyu nodded to Liang Sheng gratefully.

"I just received a call from a kid. This kid has a special identity. I won't tell you who he is. You just need to believe what he says."

There was some anger in Ji Huaiyujing's voice, "I am not in a position to disclose the progress of the case, but one thing is certain.

"This incident was not an accident. It was a premeditated frame-up. As for who the mastermind is, we are now investigating. Once the truth is confirmed, the police will make this matter public."
