Love Me Or Leave Me

CHAPTER 28

In live Room Two, after Phoebe had a secret discussion with her grandfather, they were left speechless.

Her grandfather explained that raising chickens in the countryside didn’t require much effort to catch them. Chickens and ducks were intelligent animals. They’d leave home in the morning and return by themselves when it

was time to eat.

The same applied at night. As long as the newly bought chicks were kept in the coop for a few days before being released, they’d know to come back home when let out to roam freely.

To clarify this, Phoebe even asked the director if it would work for them to wait for the villagers‘ chickens to come back by themselves at mealtime or at night. The answer was a clear no.

With no shortcuts available, she took her grandfather up the mountain and followed the show’s rules to catch the

vens themselves.

Meanwhile, Rebecca and Charlie, who were still in the mountains, figured out how to use the “magical tools” and were in a good mood. However, their happiness didn’t last long because the unscrupulous crew quickly reminded them of another condition.

The crew told them that simply summoning the chickens back didn’t count. They also had to catch the chickens and confine them so they couldn’t escape for it to count.

Additionally, the chickens had to be caught in the mountains. Once the chickens entered the village, catching or trapping them there wouldn’t count.

Due to these sudden requirements from the director, the hundreds of thousands of viewers in Room Five bombarded Ben with comments again.

The hashtag “Ben is being a bad sport” shot up in popularity online, and as “A Glimpse into Our Family” was being joked about by many, it also gained widespread recognition.

As more people saw the buzz and tuned in to watch the livestreams, the show’s popularity surged, showing signs of becoming a big hit.

In each guest’s live room, the number of viewers grew, with Charlie and Rebecca’s live Room Five seeing the most significant increase.

In just one morning, the number of viewers in live Room Five almost reached 600,000. And what about Janet’s live room?

Janet checked the online viewer count in her live room and saw it was only 400,000, almost 200,000 fewer than Charlie and Rebecca’s live Room Five.

She wondered, “How did this happen? I can’t let this continue! I mustn’t be outdone by Rebeccal

While Janet’s face remained calm, her mind was a mess. She felt annoyed and angry, Inwardly grumbling, “Why did Rebecca have to join this show? Couldn’t she just stay home and be a full– time housewife?”

Out of the live camera’s view, she was gripping the capture net’s pole so hard it was close to snapping.

Janet thought firmly, ‘No! It can’t go on like this! I have to find a way to turn things around and regain my popularity! And as for Rebecca, I can’t let her keep flaunting herself. She’s just a fake heiress who stole someone else’s family. Isn’t it enough for her to stay a commoner overshadowed by me, a true heiress, forever? But I can’t personally cause trouble for now, or the media might catch on, and that would be troublesome!‘

With that in mind, she looked toward the forest in front of her and thought of Lesley.

Janet pondered somewhat irritably, ‘It’s been half a day in the mountains. What are those two idiots doing? It’s been so long, and they haven’t made any progress. Useless!”

At that moment, Lesley and Angie were feeling quite pleased. When they first rushed to catch chickens, they didn’t think much about it and just wanted to catch them.

In their efforts to catch the chickens, they worked up a sweat, their makeup was ruined, and their clothes got dirty

The worst part was when the first chicken they caught pooped on their hands and clothes. Lesley couldn’t handle it, screamed loudly, and threw the hen away instantly.

She then hurried to find water to wash her hands after throwing the chicken. But while Lesley was fussing, Angie discovered that their live room had over 200,000 viewers.

Aside from Janet’s live Room Four and Charlie’s live Room Five, their live room had the highest number of viewe among the remaining rooms.

Angie was thrilled and immediately called Lesley over. Lesley saw the results and became excited, too.

Thus, the two sisters didn’t even mind the chicken droppings on their hands, especially Lesley. They chatted wit the audience for a bit, and after confirming that the viewers were indeed there for

them, they turned back with great excitement to continue catching chickerls.

They were so caught up

Lesley didn’t remember it until they came across Janet and her mother.

The moment Lesley made eye contact with Janet’s “gentle” gaze, her wandering mind suddenly snapped back reality.

When she saw Lesley, Janet pretended to look surprised, turned to the live camera, said a few words, and then led everyone over to Lesley. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Janet approached with a friendly smile and asked, “Lesley, you’re here! How many chickens have you caught?”

Given Lesley’s experience in the entertainment circle and acting skills, she swiftly composed herself. She addressed Janet humbly and amiably as if facing a senior colleague, “We’ve caught three, Janet. How about you?”

As Lesley spoke, she instinctively moved to shield Angie, who was holding the chickens, behind her.

Having worked hard all morning to catch the chickens, Lesley now instinctively felt a bit anxious, fearing that Janet might ask her to give up the chickens.

At that moment, Lesley was suddenly very grateful that the show had added the rule against teaming up, preventing Janet from openly taking the chickens she had worked hard to catch.

“We’ve caught seven or eight, not too many,” Janet replied.

Lesley breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her and thought, ‘Since Janet caught so many herself, she probably won’t want mine, right?”

She then began to fulfill her duties, deliberately praising Janet in front of the program’s camera to highlight Janet’s excellence. “Wow, that’s a lot, Janet! You’re so impressive!”

Janet was naturally delighted by the on–camera praise. She gave a heartfelt smile and politely said, “You’re not bad either.”

“It’s getting

getting late. Have you seen the other groups?” Janet quickly asked, revealing her true intention.

Actually, she mainly wanted to ask about Rebecca and Charlie and also to remind Lesley to cause trouble for them quickly. Janet didn’t want them to perform well. In this show, no one should outshine her.
