Chapter 79

Chapter 79

Cheng Zixu paid no heed to Yi Tiantian's inner thoughts.

He admitted that Yi Tiantian had some skills, but saying he would mess up the living room was simply absurd!

It was just about slicing an apple; it was a piece of cake for him!

Cheng Zixu held the fruit knife and began cutting the apple with everyone watching intently.

Slice after slice, the apple turned into segments under the sharp blade.

After finishing the last piece, Cheng Zixu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had completed the task without any mishaps!

Cheng Zixu proudly put down the fruit knife and showed the sliced fruit to everyone.

"Here, let me give you a piece first!"

To demonstrate his good manners, Cheng Zixu considerately skewered a piece of apple on a toothpick and offered it to Grandma Shen.

However, this gesture inadvertently triggered a series of chaos.

The piece of apple in Cheng Zixu's hand accidentally fell to the ground, and the toothpick accidentally pricked Grandma Shen's hand.

Grandma Shen exclaimed in surprise and stumbled backward.

To prevent her from falling, Cheng Zixu and the others rushed to support her, causing further chaos.

In the midst of the confusion, Cheng Zixu accidentally scattered all the freshly cut apples on the floor, and the fruit knife flew into the air, drawing a graceful arc.

The fruit knife flashed coldly as it plummeted downward.

"Ahhh!!!"

Lin Yuxin let out a shrill scream and darted away in panic.

Xia Xiaoling also jumped in fright, quickly shielding Grandma Shen.

The scene descended into chaos once again.

Amidst the turmoil, Cheng Zixu accidentally knocked over the jasmine tea that Grandma Shen had passed him earlier. The tea spilled everywhere, even causing some staff members to slip and fall.

Fortunately, the fruit knife did not hit anyone and landed with a loud clang on the floor.

Realizing the trouble he had caused, Cheng Zixu turned pale and could not utter a word.

The guests and staff, who had just recovered from the shock, were checking if anyone was injured.

Especially Grandma Shen, who was already elderly and had been frightened, was continuously patting her chest to calm herself.

The online comments were flooded with reactions to the incident.

[What is Cheng Zixu waiting for? He should apologize! Look at what he has done to the living room!]

[Earlier, when Yi Tiantian accidentally spilled a little water, Cheng Zixu made a big fuss. Now that he's caused trouble, he remains silent!]

[Cheng Zixu still pretends to be the top star of the company... With such clumsy moves, how can he aspire to be the top star?]

[Enough with the comments! Our Cheng Zixu just made a mistake! Don't dwell on such minor issues!]

[Those who wouldn't let go earlier are now telling others to move on. How hypocritical!!]

The comments section erupted into arguments again, with Yi Tiantian and Cheng Zixu's fans clashing fiercely.

Cheng Zixu knew he had truly messed up this time and apologized when everyone had finished checking for injuries: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me..."

Before Cheng Zixu could finish his apology, Lin Yuxin spoke sarcastically: "Let's be honest, this is a nursing home, and it's hard to clean up! Brother Cheng, what do you plan to do?"

Hearing this, the staff chuckled quietly.

These were the exact words Cheng Zixu had used against Yi Tiantian earlier!

Now Lin Yuxin was using them to mock Cheng Zixu himself!

Cheng Zixu, like a child who had done something wrong, turned red.

He stammered, unable to speak.

"I..."

The comments section exploded again due to Lin Yuxin's remark.

[Dang, Yuxin is fearless! Cheng Zixu, you've really disappointed us!]

[Just now, he acted like a big brother lecturing others, but now he's cowering?]

[Yuxin said it well!! I've never liked Cheng Zixu, so hypocritical!]

[Why are these comments so rude? They must be from someone's fans!]

The fans continued arguing, neither side willing to back down.

The atmosphere became awkward, but soon Mr. Li Yang, the apartment manager, stepped in to defuse the situation.

"Don't worry, we have professional cleaners who will come right away."

Li Yang's words indeed helped calm the atmosphere.

Cheng Zixu, who had been keeping his head down, now dared to lift it.

Finally, under Li Yang's lead, the guests proceeded to the communal kitchen of the elderly care facility to prepare for the next segment.

The following scene involved the guests and the elderly residents of the facility making dumplings together for all the tenants.

Yi Tiantian learned how to make dumplings when she was young, but she only knew the basics. So, she was attentively learning from an elderly representative how to properly make dumplings.

This elderly representative was a grandpa dressed in a very trendy fashion.

Despite being in his sixties, he had earrings and tattoos, looking incredibly cool.

Although he covered up his tattoos on his arms for the show, he still exuded a youthful charm.

"This grandpa is really handsome; the grandmas at Sunset Red Nursing Home can't move their legs whenever they see him!"

"Some superstitious grandmas even burn incense at home, praying for him to take notice of them!"

Yi Tiantian watched the grandmas around her flirt with the grandpa while munching on her melon seeds.

Cheng Zixu stole a glance at the grandpa and couldn't help but agree with Yi Tiantian's thoughts.

Lin Yuxin and Xia Xiaoling openly stared at the grandpa, confirming that he indeed had enduring charm.

Under the grandpa's careful guidance and the admiring gazes of the grandmas, the other guests also diligently followed along, learning how to make dumplings.

Cheng Zixu, who had embarrassed himself earlier, now behaved himself and stopped picking on Yi Tiantian.

In the sunlit communal kitchen, the guests laughed and made dumplings with the elders, creating a heartwarming scene captured by the cameras.

The live comments were also calmed by this joyful atmosphere.

[It's truly touching to see celebrities doing meaningful things like this!]

[Yes, everyone should pay more attention to the elderly. The world is changing too fast, and we shouldn't leave them behind!]

[Seeing the smiles on the grandpas' and grandmas' faces makes me so happy!]

[More of these public service activities, please!]

However, the commenters didn't know that beneath the seemingly peaceful scene, there was a hidden twist.

Because Yi Tiantian's inner monologue was spilling out again!

"When will we finish? I can't wait to see the drama later!"

"The elderly bully squad leading their sisters to roll around and complain about the mistress—I can't imagine how lively it'll be!"

Everyone immediately became interested, and the tranquil atmosphere turned into one of intense gossip.

Anyone who could hear Yi Tiantian's thoughts eagerly anticipated the upcoming drama!

Due to their eagerness to see the gossip unfold, the rest of the filming was done half-heartedly, lacking the earlier enthusiasm.

Time ticked by, and finally, the dumplings were finished!

Lin Yuxin, despite disliking Yi Tiantian, was eager to watch the drama and quickly washed her hands to get ready.

Xia Xiaoling, another avid gossiper, rubbed his hands in excitement.

The rest of the crew, tired from their mundane work, were equally excited for some entertainment.

Everyone was fully alert, waiting for the elderly sisters to appear, but after a minute, nothing happened.

Instead, Li Yang noticed something amiss and asked, "Guests, after making the dumplings, we need to cook them and share them with the other elders here."

The guests snapped back to reality and continued with the filming.

Yi Tiantian, oblivious to everyone's impatience, casually remarked,

"Ah, these elderly sisters are slow because of their age, so they're still on their way!"

Everyone was frustrated, but Yi Tiantian's response was so nonchalant!

Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes, and Cheng Zixu gritted his teeth.

Finally, all the procedures were completed.

The fragrant, steaming dumplings were cooked, and the guests enjoyed them with the elders.

But still no sign of the elderly sisters!

Lin Yuxin rolled her eyes again, guessing the grandmas were still on their way.

Cheng Zixu cursed under his breath, thinking Yi Tiantian's thoughts weren't always accurate!

As if to prove him wrong, a sharp female voice rang out at the door.

"Old Shen, how dare you eat dumplings here after stealing my man?!"

To the guests and crew who had been waiting, this was the most beautiful sound in the world!

The drama had finally arrived!

Indeed, the love for gossip is a universal human trait, and the elders present perked up, ready to enjoy the drama with their dumplings!

One man's face showed a hint of panic.

At the door stood a grandma in a fashionable black leather skirt, accompanied by a group of sisters with blue eyeshadow.

The young ladies each held a whip in their hands, looking rather vicious.

"Old Lady Shen, get over here! If you have the guts to steal a man, then have the courage to face me!"

This old lady, dressed in a leather skirt, once again loudly berated everyone.

"This old lady's name is Xie Ruhua. After losing her husband early in life and raising her children alone, she moved into the Sunset Red Apartment, ready to start a new chapter."

"But who would have thought that this new chapter would be threatened by a third-party crisis just a few days later! Today, she is going to confront Old Lady Shen and settle things once and for all!"

Yi Tiantian's inner voice rang out in everyone's ears on time.

However, what puzzled everyone even more was: Who exactly is the man between Xie Ruhua and Old Lady Shen?
