Xu Yun was startled by Lin Yu’s pistachio nuts and hurriedly uttered, “Oh, you silly child. You can eat those yourself. You don’t need to peel them for me; I can do it myself.”

Lin Yu placed the other half of the pistachio nuts she peeled beside Han Yuan’s hands.

Han Yuan laughed and joked, “My daughter-in-law is truly a hundred times better than our two sons!”

“Lin Yu is best at charming people,” Gu Man huffed. “Alright, I’ll take care of Aunt Xu. You go and charm your real mother-in-law.”

Xu Yun quickly asked the waiter to bring more fruits and desserts. She chuckled, “Both of you, stop it. Han Yuan and I aren’t so old to need you to serve us like this! We’ll do it ourselves!”

She then told Lin Yu, “Your mother-in-law never lets go of any opportunity to show you off. You should stop spoiling her!”

Han Yuan rolled her eyes at her. “You can show off your daughter-in-law, too.”

Xu Yun smiled without saying a word, and she was looking at the screen once again. The camera is now following Yun Liu, who turned the camera to the sign on the residence’s entrance.

“Wu Wei Residence is the name we voted on for our home. Mr. Ji Fei carved this sign. What does everyone think? Isn’t it quite artistic?” Since the others were busy with their duties, Yun Liu continued to be the host and commentator.

Because Yun Liu was the host, the show’s production team sent instructions to her. Yun Liu was holding her phone; she had already seen the instructions but ignored them. She had to use great willpower to maintain the smile on her face.

However, she didn’t expect public opinion to be so overwhelming that she had no choice but to point her phone’s camera at the carved work Ji Fei had placed on the dining table.

Yun Liu commented as she filmed, “Shi Xiu is quite a serious and hardworking person. She did everything she could to learn from Mr. Ji; she pestered Mr. Ji so much that he had no choice but to give her a few pointers. She spent all her time carving every day. When she wasn’t eating and sleeping, she was carving things; she was very much absorbed and consumed by it.”

Yun Liu’s gentle words immediately caused the bullet comments to explode on the screen again.

[Oh my god! Is she here to learn at public expense? Didn’t everyone have to participate in the chores and work around the residence? If that’s the case, isn’t she doing nothing to help? So what if she’s a wealthy young lady—what’s the big deal? It doesn’t mean that everyone has to accommodate her!]

[Needless to say, our Yun Liu must have done her share of the work for her.

She’s taking advantage of her family’s wealth to make everyone support her.] [I never would have thought Shi Xiu was such a scheming woman!]

[Look at her smug look just now. It’s disgusting! ]

[Our poor little Yun Liu doesn’t even know she’s getting bullied! She even put in a good word for her.]

[What a silly little cutie!]

Yun Liu sat on the swings and gently swung back and forth. She blinked her eyes and remarked, “The weather today is great!” She had seen the bullet comments on her phone and was in a great mood.

For the show’s authenticity, all the guests were required to not use their phones on a daily basis, so they naturally couldn’t see these comments. Yun Liu was allowed access to her phone because she was the commentator, but for the sake of authenticity, she had to turn off the bullet comments.

However, Yun Liu had turned on the bullet comments from an angle the camera couldn’t see, so she saw the comments about Shi Xiu, and they made her feel extremely good.

Yan Tang and Shi Xiu came out after bandaging Shi Xiu’s hand and came over when they saw Yun Liu sitting on the swings. Yun Liu immediately got off the swings and concernedly asked, “Shi Xiu, is your hand alright?”

Shi Xiu wiggled her hand around and stated with a smile, “I’m fine! Yan Tang wrapped so much gauze on my hand that it looked like a dumpling. I can’t do any work with my hand like this, so I can now slack off!”

Yun Liu smiled beside her. Yan Tang nudged Shi Xiu and said, “You made the swings but haven’t had a chance to enjoy them yet. Get on; I’ll push you. I’ll let you experience the joy of childhood.”

Shi Xiu giggled as she sat on the other swing, and Yan Tang pushed her on the swing. Shi Xiu couldn’t swing too high because they were in their multi-purpose hall, but she was still very happy. Her laughter chimed like silver bells.

Yun Liu awkwardly sat on her swing and filmed Shi Xiu with her phone. She didn’t film Shi Xiu’s entire body—she only focused on her bandaged hand.

[Hey, did she have to wrap her hand up like this? It wasn’t that injured. It’s obvious she just doesn’t want to work anymore!]

[Miss Shi Xiu’s family must have thrown a lot of money into this program for her. Everyone is explicitly and implicitly on her side, bullying our Yun Liu!]

[You guys! How can you say that? Are you guys here to cause trouble? Didn’t you hear Yan Tang say that Shi Xiu made the swings? What evidence do you have to say she didn’t do any work? Look at your goddess Yun Liu floating around. I don’t see her doing any work..]
