Chapter 2458: The Desperate Shisan Niang

“The photographer praised your performance! I saw a few images, and they all look great!”

“Good to know, but it’s no small sacrifice,” said the actress quietly. “The water was very cold; even though it’s at a constant temperature, I’m freezing.”

The cold was especially bone-chilling when a gentle gust of wind blew in her direction as she emerged from the pool earlier.

The thought that she still had a recording program to attend at night sent her head spinning.

This program was a top-tier variety show called ‘Ace of Stars’ with top ratings. To cater to the audience, there were a number of physical challenges in this show.

Most of the invited guests were there to promote their movies or TV dramas.

To create momentum for the upcoming drama, ‘Lethal Beauty’, the main , including Hua Jin, had gone on this show.

Yun Shishi had prepared herself mentally for this program, but when she was told that there would be a segment when she had to wear a rather heavy sumo-like gear on her to compete against another team, she was ruffled. This was made worse when she saw the apparatus at the scene.

It looks heavy! It’ll definitely be bulky on me.

She started the recording with her mind in a daze. When it came to the game segment, she put on the ‘sumo’ gear, which made her look cute and heavy.

The stars were divided into two teams. When the actress saw that her teammates were scrawnier than those in the other team with beefy bodies, she raised an objection.

“The teams are not well-distributed! We have all the old and sickly ones here; it’s unfair!”

Her objection prompted loud laughter from the audience.

Hua Jin was in the same team as her. Terribly affected by her words, he protested, “What do you mean we’re the old and sickly ones here?! I oppose your suggestion!”

The actress immediately sent him a flying kick, which attracted another round of loud, merry laughter from the audience. Her slapstick antic tickled the host so much that he was in stitches.

“Do you want to change your team members?”

Hua Jin quickly rejected, “That’s not necessary! Shishi is our trump card; we have confidence to win this with her around.”

Alas, she had been arrowed despite trying her best to stay out of the fuss.

Just as the game was about to start, the host explained that the program would donate five million to charity under the name of the winning team.

This was a big honor, indeed. The lady, who had her doubts about this game initially, turned enthusiastic all of a sudden.

The result was totally unexpected. Nobody had taken Hua Jin’s words seriously when he proclaimed the actress as the team’s ace, but as it turned out, her use of force was enough to send all her opponents crashing out of the ring, including men who were more fit than her.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

At this point, there was only Hua Jin and her left standing inside the ring. The actress challenged the rest with a triumphant look, “Who else wants to try us?”

The host promptly dubbed her as ‘The Desperate Shisan Niang'[1].

The young man beside her took another dig at her. “Don’t underestimate Shishi! When we were filming, her lunchbox was twice my portions!”

“HA HA HA HA!”

The guests were so amused that they were falling off their chairs in laughter.

Little Yichen and Youyou were also laughing along as they watched their mother on livestream.

“Ha ha ha! Mommy is humorous!”

The older boy commented, “Honestly, she doesn’t need to try this hard, does she? There’ll be none of that docile image of her left after this show.”

“Please, mommy is never docile in the first place.”

“You’d better watch out! If mommy hears you saying that, she’ll eat you up!”

The younger one stuck his tongue out and retorted, “Mommy can’t bear to hit me!”
