Chapter 50: Steal the Chicken but Lose the Rice

Outside the shooting area, Mu Junze sensed something was wrong with Meng Nianchu. Unable to contain his worry, he immediately rushed onto the stage, grabbed the hand that was holding the cosmetics, and gently held her face.

Seeing the obvious swelling and the sudden breakouts on Meng Nianchu's face, his expression instantly darkened.

"Stop shooting."

Regardless of what the netizens might say if this scene was captured, Mu Junze picked Meng Nianchu up in his arms and headed straight towards the hospital. He gently placed her in the back seat of the car and stepped on the accelerator, speeding away.

After Mu Junze's actions, the real - time live - broadcast comments were suddenly flooded with bullet - screen messages.

The words "Mu Junze is so handsome!" appeared uniformly, roughly covering the entire screen.

Meanwhile, Meng Rong, who was also watching the live broadcast, had the screen blocked by the bullet - screens. She gritted her teeth so hard that they made a clicking sound. She suddenly threw the banana in her hand out!

Serves you right for getting a pimply face!

"It's so itchy."

Meng Nianchu forcibly suppressed the urge to scratch her face. She rolled down the car window and let the cold wind blow in. Only then did she feel a little better.

Mu Junze glanced at the rear - view mirror from time to time, observing Meng Nianchu's reaction. He drove like the wind all the way to the hospital, carried Meng Nianchu, and went straight to his friend in Singapore.

Cai Kun, who had just had some time to rest, was stunned when he saw Mu Junze rushing in suddenly. Then he saw Meng Nianchu, whose face was covered in pimples and was almost swollen beyond recognition. He immediately walked over to check.

"It happened suddenly."

Cai Kun asked seriously, "What did you touch to cause this?"

"Cosmetics."

"Did you bring them?"

Mu Junze was stunned. In his hurry, he hadn't thought about other things at all.

"Here." Meng Nianchu took out a powder compact from her upper - body pocket.

She herself thought it was probably related to these cosmetics. When Mu Junze picked her up, she had managed to grab a compact when no one was looking.

Cai Kun took it and opened it. Then he couldn't control himself and sneezed loudly. He leaned closer to smell it and frowned. "There's pepper in it. How could there be no problem when you put it on your face!"

Hearing this, Mu Junze's eyes turned cold.

Now that Cai Kun knew what the problem was, he could prescribe the right treatment. He immediately fetched the corresponding ointment.

Just as he was about to apply it to Meng Nianchu's face, Mu Junze snatched it away with a cold look.

Cai Kun pouted.

He was still the same, so easy to get jealous.

Knowing that he would just be a third wheel if he stayed, he voluntarily left the ward and thoughtfully closed the door on the way out.

Mu Junze carefully applied the ointment to Meng Nianchu's face.

The cold and refreshing ointment felt extremely comfortable on her face. The itchy feeling gradually disappeared, and Meng Nianchu's face also swelled down a lot.

Neither of them said a word, but they were thinking about the same thing in their hearts. Then, without a word, they both thought of the same person.

Meng Nianchu grabbed the bed sheet tightly and sneered in her heart.

Li Feng appeared at her room door out of the blue, and then this happened. This matter was definitely related to him, but he couldn't have done it alone.

Even if Li Feng and Meng Rong had a secret relationship, they didn't know that she was aware of it for the time being. Li Feng and she hadn't had a direct conflict, so there was no reason for him to be so cruel to her.

"Meng Rong!"

Meng Nianchu roared angrily in her heart. Then her tense little face gradually relaxed, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face.

It seemed that she must have watched this variety show and couldn't bear to see her daily interactions with Mu Junze, which was why she had gone so far!

Li Feng was clearly infatuated with her at this moment. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped her do such a disgusting thing.

In that case, she should give them both a "big gift"!

A "big gift" that would completely ruin their futures!

"Don't put anything on your face for a while. It will get better in a few days." Before leaving, Cai Kun gave a reminder. Then he punched Mu Junze on the shoulder with a smile. "You rarely come here, but you don't even catch up with me."

A slight curve appeared on Mu Junze's lips. "Next time."

"My sister - in - law is nice. Take good care of her!"

Hearing this, Mu Junze proudly put his arm around Meng Nianchu's shoulder. "Sure."

When they returned from the hospital, the shooting of the program had been temporarily stopped. Mu Junze went to the hotel's monitoring room to check the surveillance footage with the staff, while Meng Nianchu looked around seriously for Li Feng's figure.

Suddenly, when she reached the second - floor stairwell, she heard Li Feng's anxious voice.

"What should we do now that things have gotten like this? What if Meng Nianchu guesses that I did it!"

"It's not the time to worry about whether Meng Nianchu's face is pimply or not. She's still in the hospital and hasn't come back yet. How would I know! If you hadn't asked me to do this, I wouldn't have! You should figure out a way to solve this. If they find out, do you think Mu Junze will let me off!"

"You even asked me to cause trouble for her. Are you crazy! Everyone in the crew is investigating this matter now. If I go against the current, I might as well quit the entertainment industry!"

"No, don't cry..."

It seemed that Meng Rong had once again used her trick of crying, making a scene, and complaining. Li Feng, who was initially angry and restless, suddenly quieted down and gently coaxed Meng Rong on the other end of the phone in a soft tone.

The words were too cheesy for Meng Nianchu to listen to, so she quietly left. When she returned to her room and saw the new voice recording on her phone, she sneered disdainfully.

Let me skin you two scumbags alive!

Mu Junze didn't get the information he wanted from the surveillance. Coincidentally, there was a problem with the camera during that period, and the footage of Meng Nianchu and Mu Junze's room was all snowy and unclear.

When Meng Nianchu heard the result from Mu Junze, she wasn't surprised. After all, it was unlikely that someone who wanted to break into your room to cause trouble would be so bold as to appear in the surveillance camera openly.

However, Mu Junze was very meticulous. He found that the time when the camera malfunctioned was shortly before he and Meng Nianchu left the room, and another surveillance camera showed that Li Feng had just left his room.

All the timings matched, so Li Feng was the most suspect.

When they learned that Meng Nianchu had returned from the hospital, Hou Chao and several other guests came to Meng Nianchu's room to inquire about her condition.

Seeing the remaining swelling on Meng Nianchu's face, Kan Yuqing said with pity, "How did it get so serious all of a sudden? You were fine yesterday."

"Most likely it's due to the acclimatization in a new place." Li Feng preemptively made up an excuse nervously.

Meng Nianchu turned to look at him. Her eyes were dark, and she said meaningfully, "The doctor said that something was put in my cosmetics. I wonder if Mr. Li saw any suspicious people when he was wandering around my room today."

She deliberately paused. "I'm thinking about who could know my room number so clearly and have the chance to sneak into my room to put something in it."
