Chapter 361: Chapter 178: Do You Have Shit for Brains? Threatening a Lawyer?

"What do you mean? I’m perfectly fine. How could I suddenly be critically ill?"

Liu Yufan couldn’t sit still anymore. He shot to his feet and questioned the staff member, exasperated.

’My uncle is the show’s chief director. Don’t these staff members have a clue? Who gave them the nerve to spread rumors like this about me? I’m alive and kicking right now, feeling better than ever. And now they’re saying I’ve suddenly fallen critically ill and can’t participate in the show? This is like they’re trying to carry me out, chair and all.’

"Director Liu said you’re critically ill. I’m just following his orders."

The staff member shrugged, his tone helpless.

Anyone could see that Liu Yufan didn’t look sick.

But if Director Liu said he was sick, then he was sick.

"What?"

Hearing this, Liu Yufan was completely stunned.

He never imagined his own uncle would be the one to say it.

’Didn’t we already agree at home? I was supposed to use this show to get famous and become an internet celebrity. I was counting on this opportunity for my big break. Does this mean they aren’t going to let me continue? What on earth happened?’

He stood there stunned, speechless for a moment.

His biggest backer on this show was his uncle.

But his uncle himself said he was critically ill and had to leave the show. There was nothing he could do.

"You should pack your things as soon as possible."

"The other nine interns can take a break for a while. The director’s team will have a meeting to decide how to proceed with filming."

After delivering the message, the staff member went to speak with the supervising lawyers.

After he left, the other interns were also a little bewildered.

They had no idea what had just happened.

After being stunned for a moment, Liu Yufan came to his senses and walked directly toward the production team’s area.

He had to ask his uncle face-to-face why he did this.

After he left, a few interns watched his retreating back with odd looks and couldn’t help but start whispering among themselves.

"I heard his uncle is the chief director. How could something like this still happen?"

"I don’t know. Could he have been reported?"

"Good riddance. Ever since I first saw him this morning, I thought he was so arrogant. I thought he was such a big shot, but it turns out he’s a second-year grad student who still hasn’t passed the bar exam."

"And his university is just average. Honestly, with a resume like that, he wouldn’t have even gotten in if it weren’t for his director uncle."

They all seemed quite happy to see Liu Yufan leave the show, looking very pleased.

After all, there were only three permanent positions available at the end of the show.

With his background, Liu Yufan had been a shoo-in for one of those spots.

But now that Liu Yufan was kicked out, that spot was freed up, giving everyone else a chance.

Naturally, Liu Yufan leaving the show was a good thing for everyone else.

"Luyao, what do you think the reason is?"

A female intern with a gossipy look on her face leaned over and asked Wei Luyao.

"He probably offended someone."

Wei Luyao smiled faintly and said casually.

As for the specific reason, she actually already had a good idea of what it was.

"I’m going to get some fresh air."

Wei Luyao closed her laptop, then got up and walked outside.

Liu Yufan had been told he had to withdraw from the show due to a "sudden critical illness" right after she had left Zhao Yalan’s office. She knew Chen Mo had pulled the strings.

Even though Chen Mo was her boyfriend, she still had to go and thank him.

The others also closed their laptops, standing up to stretch their legs or go outside for some fresh air.

Anyway, the production team had told them to take a break, so there was no point in just sitting there.

Soon, Wei Luyao saw Chen Mo in the lounge area near the law firm’s main entrance.

"You’re here?"

Seeing Wei Luyao walk over, Chen Mo smiled and patted the spot on the sofa next to him.

Wei Luyao obediently sat down beside Chen Mo, naturally looped her arm through his, and rested her head gently on his shoulder.

"That guy was told by his director uncle that he had to withdraw from the show due to a ’sudden critical illness.’"

Wei Luyao told Chen Mo what had happened to Liu Yufan, an amused tone in her voice.

"A sudden critical illness?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn’t help but chuckle.

’Looks like Old Zhang really put the pressure on the director. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have pinned such an unlucky excuse on his own nephew. He was probably furious about being implicated by Liu Yufan and couldn’t even be bothered to come up with a decent excuse.’

"Thank you."

Wei Luyao turned her head to look at Chen Mo, her bright eyes filled with love and gratitude.

’Chen Mo helped me get on this show, and now that I was being bullied, he immediately stood up for me and got revenge.’

Her heart had already been captured by Chen Mo, and now she was completely devoted to him.

"This is how you thank me?"

Chen Mo looked at the youthful, pretty face so close to his, the love practically overflowing from her beautiful eyes, and said with a teasing smile.

Hearing this, Wei Luyao’s pretty face blushed slightly, and she subconsciously glanced left and right.

’This is a law firm, the place where I’m interning and filming the show. There are cameras everywhere; every little move will be recorded.’ She was a little embarrassed.

However, she still suppressed her shyness, took the initiative to bring her charming lips forward, and gave Chen Mo a peck on the lips.

She meant for it to be a fleeting peck, but Chen Mo naturally wasn’t going to let her off that easy.

He held the back of her head with one hand and leaned down to kiss her.

Just then, two female interns came outside for some fresh air, chatting as they walked.

But as soon as they got there, they saw two people embracing and kissing on the sofa in the lounge area.

They recognized the girl as Wei Luyao, and the guy as the handsome man who had been with Producer Xie earlier.
