Chapter 109: Who’s Not Here?

At the same time, the other guests also headed to their residences.

Meng Chuyuan took the photo in her hand and found the house according to the road sign.

The houses in the village were more concentrated. Every house was especially close to each other, and the road was very narrow. Two or three people walking together could almost block the entire road.

Meng Chuyuan, Lu Jinsen, and the others walked together. As the houses were not far apart, their routes were the same.

The houses here were very tall. The doors of the houses on both sides were facing the road. There was no way to see the environment inside at all. The road under their feet was paved with bricks and was filled with potholes. It was very unfriendly to the guests’ luggage.

After about ten minutes, Meng Chuyuan was the first to find the house she wanted to stay in.

“I’m here.” Meng Chuyuan placed the suitcase at the door and gently pushed it open.

Ting Jiu said, “Our house is a little further ahead. We should be able to reach it after turning the corner at the intersection ahead.”

Meng Chuyuan glanced at the two of them and said softly, “Go find your house first. See you later.”

Lu Jinsen did not say anything along the way. He was not as unreasonable as Qi Yan because he knew that Meng Chuyuan was doing this to help solve the problem.

“See you later.” After Meng Chuyuan carried the suitcase in, Lu Jinsen and Ting Jiu continued to look for a house.

After Meng Chuyuan came in, the environment inside was not very bad. The structure of the beams was a little like the Jiangnan style.

She roughly looked around the house, then chose a random room to move her suitcase into and began to pack.

As for where Qi Yan was now, she did not know for the time being.

On the other hand..

Qi Zhen had just finished filminz a scene and was scrolling through his phone during the intermission. Suddenly, a live-stream of the variety show popped up.

Seeing Qi Yan’s name on the push notification, Qi Zhen clicked on it curiously.

Unexpectedly, after entering, Qi Zhen saw that there were two concurrent live-streams in one live-stream room. On the left was Meng Chuyuan, and on the right was Qi Yan.

At this moment, Qi Yan was pulling a heavy suitcase and there was an old granny following behind her.

[It’s been hard on the cameraman. He’s really unlucky to follow this sister.]

[She has so many confusing behaviors. I thought that she would choose to leave the variety show, considering she was unwilling to obey the arrangements. I didn’t expect her to find the elders in the village to take her in.]

[She’s quite thick-skinned. She’s already an adult, yet she’s still troubling the old lady. Can’t you see that her legs are inconvenient? Doesn’t she know how to show her some concern and help her up?]

[Hahaha, every time there’s a scene of Qi Yan, I can go to the washroom. Because I don’t want to miss the scene of others, but I really don’t want to watch her, so I can go to the washroom.]

[I still say the same thing. How long is she going to stay in Sister Meng’s live-stream? If not for Sister Meng being here, I really wouldn’t be able to stand her for a second.]

[+1+1, I’m also watching Sister Meng, but Qi Yan’s live-stream is really affecting the view. It’s lowering our Sister Meng’s standards.]

The granny was holding a basin of clean clothes in her hand. She was staggering, and there was a huge distance between her and Qi Yan. If Qi Zhen had not seen the audience’s comments, he would have thought that this granny was just a passerby who had accidentally entered the camera frame.

After a while, the old lady stopped. She clamped the wooden basin between her arm and waist and took out a bunch of keys from her pocket.

Qi Yan was so focused on rushing that she did not notice that the old lady had stopped.

After the old lady opened the door and saw Qi Yan walking further and further away, she called her back. “Sister, don’t go forward. We’re already here.”

When Qi Yan turned around, she realized the distance between her and the old lady. She pulled her suitcase and walked back in embarrassment.

“Grandma, why didn’t you call me earlier?” She had to wait until she passed by two or three houses before reminding her to stop.

The old granny said, “You’re walking too fast. How can an old woman like me keep up?

[She’s grown up for nothing. She doesn’t even know how to respect her elders.]

[If you want to be pampered, just stay at home. There’s nobody out here to spoil you. What kind of attitude is this?]

[If it weren’t for this old granny taking you in, you would have been left on the side of the road by now and you haven’t even thanked her.

[She doesn’t look like she’s thankful at all. I’m even more certain that she has been putting up an act all along. I’m sorry that I was her fan before.]

[She really only cares about herself. If she treats the elderly like this, who knows how badly she’ll treat others.]

Qi Zhen looked at the situation in the live-stream. He, who had just entered, could not understand what was going on.

Coincidentally, his manager was also watching the live-stream, so he asked curiously, “Hu Zi, did you watch the first part of the live-stream? Why is Qi Yan with an unfamiliar old lady?”

“Your sister is quite difficult to deal with. The production team arranged for her to be in the same group as Ting Jiu. She was unwilling and even offended him. Later on, Sister Meng stood up and said that she would live with your sister. Now, she’s being rebellious. She asked the villagers to take her in.” Qi Zhen:

“I don’t understand what’s so bad about living with Sister Meng. She might even be able to accumulate popularity from doing that, just like Lu Jinsen.”

Seeing that she had successfully moved into the old granny’s house, Qi Zhen couldn’t help but chuckle. “Who knows what she’s thinking.”

“You two have always been at odds. Why did she ask you to bring her on the variety show back then?”

Qi Zhen: “She probably just wants to put on a show. My grandma likes to watch this variety show. She wants to show it to grandma, or perhaps she’s plotting some big moves to deal with me.”

“Then you have to be careful. Don’t let her have anything on you.”

He and Qi Yan were not born from the same mother.

It was not until she secretly returned to the country without telling her father that she realized that her father was married and had a son.

Qi Zhen was often ostracized by her at home. Even his mother had to be bullied by Qi Yan.

The two of them had been fighting both openly and in secret for a long time. Two years ago, Grandma unfortunately fell seriously ill. The old lady hoped that the siblings could live in harmony.

Their original intention was to make their grandmother happy, so they naturally came to an agreement. On the surface, they would get along harmoniously, but behind everyone’s backs, they would do whatever they wanted.

Meng Chuyuan cleaned the house. The furniture was wiped clean. She worked quite quickly alone.

When it was time for dinner, Lu Jinsen and Ting Jiu happened to pass by and came to look for her to head towards the gathering place together.

“Sister Chuyuan, we’re here.”

The two of them came to Meng Chuyuan’s place and looked at the house that had just been cleaned. They were really amazed. “We laid down the moment we entered the house. We didn’t do anything.”

Lu Jinsen:

They did not expect Meng Chuyuan to clean up the house so well in less than half an hour.

Ting Jiu walked around the room and quietly came to Meng Chuyuan’s side.. He asked softly, “By the way, Is that person not here?”
