Chapter 783: Scandal Queen vs. The White Lotus Actor 54

 When Wan Jie fell, he was completely stunned.

It was over!

Was he going to fall to his death?

Fortunately, the soil beneath the coconut tree was soft, so although Wan Jie landed hard enough to see stars, he wasn't seriously injured.

But just as Wan Jie breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a faint pain near the corner of his eye.

His heart sank, and he hurriedly reached out to touch his cheek.

The next moment, he saw a smear of blood on his finger.

For a moment, Wan Jie could no longer remain calm.

His face had been cut by a coconut tree leaf. Would it leave a scar? Would it ruin his looks?

Just then, the medical team arrived.

"Wan Jie, how are you feeling? Don't panic. We'll take you to the hospital immediately. The helicopter is already on its way."

Wan Jie couldn't be bothered to listen to what they were saying. Instead, he suddenly grabbed one of the doctor's collar and said, "Is my face ruined? Hurry up and let me see my face! If my face is ruined, I'm going to sue your production crew!"

Hearing this, the medical team hurriedly pulled him away.

"Okay, don't get agitated. I'll disinfect the wound right away," one of the doctors said.

The next moment, he opened the medical kit and began treating and disinfecting the wound.

A moment later, the doctor said to Wan Jie, utterly speechless, "Don't worry. It's only a wound about one centimeter long. It won't affect your appearance."

To put it in the words of an online joke, if they had arrived any later, his wound would probably have healed already.

But entertainers made a living off their faces, so his anxiety was understandable.

……

Only then did Wan Jie let out a long sigh of relief.

If his face were ruined, what would he live on afterward?

He absolutely wasn't going to participate in another show like this ever again!

Because of Wan Jie's accident, along with several of the others coming down with colds, the production crew ultimately decided to end this episode early after careful consideration.

They already had enough footage to air over two episodes anyway.

When the guests learned that they could finally go home, the traffic actresses were overjoyed.

They could finally leave this godforsaken place.

Soon, everyone boarded the helicopter and left the island.

……

On the helicopter, Wan Jie looked at Tang Wan, who was still neatly dressed and full of energy after five days, then looked down at himself in his ragged clothes and sneered inwardly.

He knew it!

Tang Wan had invited him over precisely because she wanted to see how miserable he was.

Unfortunately, he wasn't going to give her the satisfaction!

After they got off the helicopter, the celebrities were quickly picked up by their respective managers.

When Wan Jie's manager saw the bandage on his face, his expression immediately changed.

"A-Jie, what happened to your face?"

"I fell," Wan Jie replied.

Hearing this, his manager hurriedly asked, "It's not serious, is it?"

"I'm fine," Wan Jie replied listlessly.

Only then did his manager breathe a sigh of relief. Then his eyes shifted, and he leaned close to Wan Jie's ear and quietly said something.

A moment later, Wan Jie nodded.

Not long afterward, headlines such as "Wan Jie Disfigured" and "Wan Jie Injured While Picking Coconuts for His Teammates on a Variety Show" appeared on the trending searches.

His fans were immediately heartbroken and began furiously criticizing the production crew.

Especially after learning that he had fallen while picking coconuts, even quite a few passersby began feeling sorry for him.

This poor guy was way too pitiful, wasn't he?

The production crew was truly heartless!

For a time, Wan Jie's fan count began climbing back up.

……

When Tang Wan and Shang Baitong saw the trending topics on Weibo, they both gave a cold smile.

He was pretty quick to play the victim.

And now he had even been "injured while picking coconuts for his teammates."

The other teammates probably weren't willing to take the blame for that one!
