Chapter 291: Chapter 292 Dog Blood

The rule change brought about by He Jinxia, for the sake of the program’s integrity, led the director’s team to issue a temporary task—drawing in customers—within half an hour after agreeing to He Jinxia’s request.

This could be considered fulfilling He Jinxia’s proposal, which would also be easy to edit for the program, and added some fun to it, as the director’s team looked forward to such sudden situations, hoping the stars could show a different side of themselves and provide more material for the show.

When He Jinxia received the message, she had already stepped into the bridal shop to persuade the newlywed couple.

The videographers didn’t stop their persuading, first filming the persuasion part, and later they would just need to reshoot some standing positions outside the bridal shop, as the sequence could be adjusted during editing.

The persuasion didn’t go smoothly; they were chased out by the man during their first attempt.

But He Jinxia was understanding and patient, turning to the woman and focusing on the Hanfu aspect in her persuasion.

She also mentioned that the environment around the inn was beautiful, where they could take photos in Hanfu for free, though the photography would not be very professional—it would be taken simply with a mobile phone.

"Is your inn free to stay in?" the young woman asked, her sobs causing her eyeliner to blur, giving her the appearance of panda eyes.

He Jinxia replied patiently, "Yes, all you need to do is fill out a rating form before you leave the inn, and all three meals are also included."

The woman sniffled, her face showing hesitation as she said through her sobs, "What if you’re deceiving me?"

He Jinxia thought for a moment, then turned and pointed to a camera not far away, "No, don’t worry, we’re filming a show right now. What benefit would there be in deceiving you?"

Removing the mask she wore on her face, He Jinxia winked at the woman and whispered, "Do you recognize me?"

The woman looked up at her, tears streaming down her red-rimmed eyes, which made her look especially sad.

She was startled at first, then her eyes widened, and her mouth opened wide, "You, you!"

He Jinxia quickly covered the woman’s mouth with her hand, "Shh, don’t say it out loud, this is our little secret. Don’t let others know I’m filming a show, okay? Thank you!"

The woman nodded hurriedly, some of her tears even brushing onto He Jinxia’s hand.

He Jinxia put her mask back on and handed the woman a tissue, consoling her, "Don’t cry. I’ll try to make you look as beautiful as possible tomorrow."

But upon hearing this, the woman cried even harder, sobbing, "Fat Emperor, you’re my idol, I used to be even fatter than I am now. I started dieting because I wanted to look good on camera for my wedding, to fit into a beautiful wedding dress."

"I, I’ve tried really hard, I’ve tried really hard to lose twenty pounds, but I just can’t do it anymore... You only get to take wedding photos once in your life, and I feel so ugly, so fat, the wedding dress looks ugly too, I’m just so frustrated and aggrieved..."

He Jinxia patted her shoulder gently, listening to her broken words, gaining an understanding of the reason for the couple’s argument.

Initially, there was a dispute between the young couple over whether to take Hanfu or Western-style wedding photos, and the woman felt she was in the wrong, so she conceded, agreeing to take Western-style wedding photos.

But just yesterday, she suddenly discovered that one of the female staff members at the bridal shop was her husband’s ex-girlfriend!

Therefore, she started feeling uncomfortable, and everything she thought about just made her feel worse. She inadvertently overheard their conversation and found out that her husband wanted to take Western-style wedding photos to help her business, which made her even angrier.

The situation probably wasn’t as serious as the woman was making it out to be—she was still angry and unlikely to say anything good about her husband.

He Jinxia played the role of a silent listener, not voicing any opinion.

Once the woman stopped crying, she decided to leave for a while to check on how the persuasion was going on the man’s side.

Compared to some breakthrough on the woman’s side, the situation with the man was a bit more rigid.

The man’s thoughts were clear, he would not allow the photographers to film, nor would he stay at the inn. He felt that this exposed their privacy, violated his rights to his likeness, etc. In short, being filmed by cameras made him uncomfortable.

On the other hand, he didn’t want to discuss matters between him and his wife with the public.

Even when Zhang Yuanyuan and He Jinxia lifted their masks to prove they were celebrities and not frauds, and the cameramen showed various credentials to verify they were not part of any "emotional analysis" show, but rather a reality show about staying in an inn,

He still refused even when they said if they didn’t want to be on camera, their faces wouldn’t be recorded.

"You should look for other volunteers. My wife and I will not participate!" The man said bluntly.

Just as He Jinxia was feeling at a loss, uncertain about how to mediate, suddenly, a woman’s voice came through, "Who said I’m not participating? I want to participate!"

"I want to participate, I really want to join in. I love Hanfu, the themed room they’ve arranged has Hanfu elements, and it’s free. Such a great opportunity has come my way, of course I’ll go!" the woman exclaimed, her makeup smeared across her face and wearing a red fluffy sleeveless wedding dress, speaking with a vigorous fervor.

The man frowned, "Why are you being so unreasonable? Do you want the whole country to laugh at us?"

The woman snorted coldly, "Is it you they’re laughing at, or me?"

She turned to He Jinxia, grabbing her hand, "Don’t worry, leave me your contact information, I’ll definitely go tomorrow!"

The man’s face was cold, "I’m not going!"

The woman glared at him and shouted, "Who cares if you go or not, I’ll go by myself! Either way, I’m going! I didn’t work hard to lose weight just to wear this ugly wedding dress!"

While Zhang Yuanyuan stood there, not knowing what to say, He Jinxia quickly rushed to get the contact information from the camera crew’s leader.

After leaving the inn’s number with the woman, who promised earnestly to arrive the next morning, He Jinxia didn’t linger and, pulling Zhang Yuanyuan with her, headed out.

As they walked from the inner hall of the bridal shop to the outer lobby, she caught sight of a woman sitting in a chair, crying, surrounded by a few employees in the same uniform comforting her.

He Jinxia’s eyes flickered faintly, surmising that woman must be the man’s ex.

After leaving the bridal shop, they arrived at a secluded corner shaded by trees.

It was then that Zhang Yuanyuan finally relaxed, letting out a long sigh, wiping the sweat from her forehead with a tissue, leaning against a tree, as if she had survived a great ordeal:

"Sister Jinxia, that man was so fierce. He glared at me a few times, and I felt like he was about to hit someone."

He Jinxia said, "Because he was in the heat of an argument, speaking without thinking and purely on emotion, he was a bit harsh with his words. Don’t take it to heart."
