CH 59

Cheng Yan never expected that the necklace Liu Yixin bought for her would turn out to be a fake. She was so ashamed she wanted to drown at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

Clenching her first, Cheng Yan couldn’t hold back anymore, flushed, turned around, and pointed to the necklace to question Liu Yixin: “Mom! What’s going on? Why would you buy fakes?!”

Liu Yixin was stunned by her, and she stubbornly said: “I was watching you all the time and you said that you liked it. One of the people who knew happened to be a purchasing agent. She said that she could get the goods, so I bought from her. I didn’t know it was fake--if I knew it was fake, I wouldn’t have bought it.”

Cheng Yan was still very angry when she heard that, but she really couldn’t afford to be too harsh: “Then why did you want to find a purchasing agent? Can this kind of thing be bought casually?”

Liu Yixin was stunned by what she said, and didn’t know how to explain it, and finally gulped, deciding to tell the truth: “Because she said there would be discounts through her channels…”

She didn’t want to do that kind of thing at first, but there were some problems in her husband’s company, and it wasn’t in a great spot, so their funds were not enough. But, she did not want to lose face among her sisters because she couldn’t afford some valuables. So she thought of this way. Speaking of which, most of the things she wore these days were not bought at a store, but bought from that friend. The reason why she bought them was because she trusted that friend very much, but she didn’t expect that her friend was not a good person.

When Cheng Yan heard her mother say such a thing, she was even more angry, and almost fainted. Didn’t this just insult her even further? As a rich and beautiful lady, her mother went to buy something for a discount. Wasn’t that just laughable? She didn’t know what people online would think of her now.

Her temples pounding, Cheng Yan felt herself go dizzy, and she didn’t know what to do, so she ran out angrily. Liu Yixin followed and chased after her.

It was really a good show. Ye Ling couldn’t help but shake her head, then turned her head to look at Fan Qiuyue next to her: “What do you think?’

Fan Qiuyue smiled and pointed to a necklace with a very simple and low-key design and said to the assistant: “Just this.”

After Ye Kehuan retracted her gaze from the doorway, she had no thoughts about the farce just then, and she didn’t care at all. She just shrugged her shoulders and turned her head to look at Jiang Laien: “Right, do you want to wear it for me now?”

Jiang Laien was taken aback for a while, looked down at the bag in her hand, and then smiled: “Okay.”

Ye Kehuan laughed when she heard her response. After taking the box with the necklace out of the bag and opening it, Ye Kehuan stood behind Jiang Laien, tilted her head, clasped it gently, and then pulled her hair out of the necklace.

She had to say that the design of the necklace was really wonderful. The thin chain looked simple and not exaggerated, and the sapphire was transparent and free of impurities, which made a very pure beauty. In addition, Jiang Laien had always been particularly suitable for blue, so it complimented her even more, as if it was tailor-made for her.

“You’re so beautiful.” Ye Kehuan walked around her again and looked at the woman with curly hair and eyebrows in front of her, and she couldn’t help feeling very good.

She didn’t have many thoughts about money before, and she didn’t spend much money herself. Her mother would buy it for her if she lacked anything, so she didn’t feel much about spending money, and she wouldn’t feel anything special because of shopping. But now, she finally found the joy of spending money. She found that spending money on Jiang Laien was much more interesting and satisfying than spending money on herself.

At that time, Fan Qiuyue came over, stood beside them, looked at the necklace on Jiang Laien’s neck, looked at Ye Kehuan, and said with a smile: “You are so good to Lai’er. Auntie really doesn’t know what to do to thank you.”

After listening, Ye Kehuan shook her head and smiled: “She and I are just that close, so there is no need to talk about thanking or whatnot.”

Fan Qiuyue listened, smiled, and said nothing more. She watched those two children grow up. She knew that they were playing well before, but she didn’t know that they would be so close now.

At that moment, Ye Ling walked over and put her hand on Ye Kehuan’s shoulder scornfully, and looked at her sideways: “My dear, you have grown up.”

“Huh?” Ye Kehuan didn’t understand what she meant, and was a little confused.

“It’s not too early now. It’s time to go back, everyone, let’s go. Now that everyone is here, I have to distribute my prepared gifts to everyone.” However, Ye Ling stopped talking about it. Turning, without saying more, she walked out in a curvaceous manner.

Fan Qiuyue looked at her back and couldn’t help but smile, and turned her head to look at Ye Kehuan: “Your mother is really getting younger and younger. This figure is too hot.”

After listening, Ye Kehuan couldn’t help but laugh while looking at her mother’s back.

The show stayed in Jingcheng for about three days, and then flew to other places without stopping. Every place they stayed was quite nice, but the pain was still to come.

It was like that in the last season too. It was very humane at first, but when it came to the last two seasons, they were suddenly thrown into the desert. At that time, all the guests were dumbfounded. Traveling in the desert was very primitive and very tiring.

But they had to say that those two seasons were also the two with the highest ratings, probably because everyone was tired of watching big cities and glitzy life. Suddenly they could see the suffering of the stars, and they were very happy.

And this season, naturally, there was such a layout, but instead of going to the desert, they were going to a scenic spot that had just been developed but had not yet been officially operated. To put it nicely, it was a holiday destination, but to put it bluntly, it was just mountains and valleys. Fortunately, there was no need to experience that part yet, so everyone was still seizing the time to enjoy a temporary good and comfortable life.

After recording two episodes, the first episode of the show had been edited and was ready to be broadcast. It could be said that their efficiency was quite high. Of course, that was also consistent with the style of this show.

On the day the first episode was broadcast, Ye Kehuan and the others were recording the third episode.

It was due to broadcast at night. During the day, everyone on the internet was already boiling. At that time, the heat was much higher than that of “The Food is Ready”.

First there was Jiang Laien on the show, and then it was that Ye Kehuan and Cheng Yan had always been at odds. Everyone was curious about what kind of dramatic things would happen if the two of them got together. The third was… well, for many of them, they just wanted to scold Ye Kehuan; scold her for being a low-born dog, scold her for the hype, scold her for being a high-level chicken… Among these people, some were haters of Ye Kehuan, some were fans of Cheng Yan, and many were fans of Jiang Laien.

Although Ye Kehuan herself had many fans at the time, there were too many people that resented her, and she had been telling her fans not to fight others. Therefore, their fighting power was completely worthless, and she would constantly be attacked instead. The army was overwhelming.

In the evening, after the program began its broadcast on time, the public gathered to watch the program before the TV. Holding melon seeds and natural mineral water in one hand, and holding their mobile phone with Weibo in the other, they kept swiping, one by one, and were very excited.

After the intro was over, the first broadcast was of Xiao Mingguang’s house. They saw that it was an ordinary two-bedroom, very simple, with Guo Yuqin in it being generous, with a very kind smile on her face all the time, so simple.

When she stuffed the pancakes she made into her suitcase, she couldn’t fit it, and took out some clothes. She continued to stuff it in, saying, “I made this by myself, and I have to let them try.” Wei Wei. A lot of words similar to Xiao’s mother being care, cute, and so on rang out instantly in the comments.

And Xiao Mingguang’s appearance at home was also very popular. He was not at all like some spoiled little brat, he also cooked breakfast for his mother, and took the initiative to help her pack her things. Everyone was saying that he was really handsome and nice, and they all expressed the hope that he would not be **** and hyped by Ye Kehuan, who had just gotten hot, and hoped that Ye Kehuan could let this child go.

Finally, after Xiao Mingguang packed up his things, dragged out his suitcase with his mother, and said bluntly “Go” in front of the camera, the camera switched and cut to Cheng Yan’s house.

At that moment, the netizens exploded!

“Oh my God, is this a house where humans live? Isn’t it too big? My Yanyan is indeed Bai Fumei!”

“I might not be able to live in such a house before I die! Is there something sour in here? It smells sour!”

“Oh my God, it’s so pretty, call me crazy for Yanyan, she really deserves to be called a rich woman!”

Afterwards, the program crew entered Cheng Yan’s home, and the camera showed every corner of her home, including everything on Cheng Yan’s dressing table, her luxurious closet, bags, and clothes of various brands. Her shoes, accessories, and jewelry looked magnificent under the camera.

Netizens:

“Aaawsl, many big names, oh my god, there are some of them that can cover my salary for ten years, ah, a lot of TF, my favorite lipstick!”

“Yanyan really cried, I’m sorry, this poor man’s imagination is too spicy!”

“Big Sister Yanyan! There is really a big difference between people and people. People born with a golden spoon can have so much. Unlike some people who can only sell their body and soul and go to the top in exchange for material things. That, of course, still might not be able to change too much, hehehe.”

After Cheng Yan’s house was exposed, her fans still did not forget to stop on Ye Kehuan while praising her. Ye Kehuan’s fans finally couldn’t help it. Someone posted on Weibo saying that that behavior was disgusting, but instead they were besieged on all sides.

After Cheng Yan, it was Yu Mei. Because Yu Mei’s house was decorated more gorgeously than Cheng Yan’s, netizens couldn’t help but boil again. They all said that the stars of this season were really too much. They were all rich ladies. They didn’t know if Ye Kehuan could take it. After all, Ye Kehuan’s family should have been the poorest among them all. It wasn’t a crime to be poor, but she was poor but vain, such an awful mentality.

After seeing Yu Mei’s house, the screen immediately switched to Jiang Laien’s house.

Jiang Laien’s home was very different from the previous two. Jiang Laien’s home seemed to have a low-key sense of luxury, but gave a unique and fresh feeling. The most important thing was that Jiang Laien herself looked very pleasing. She appeared on the scene, dressed very simply, and revealed a kind of pleasant temperament all over her body.

Netizens:

“I like this kind of house. It looks so comfortable and simple!”

“Me too, worthy of Laien, such good taste! And Laien’s face is so beautiful, like a peach among watery peaches, I really want to rub it, ah~”

“Ah, the goddess is the goddess, I love you, and you even baked snacks and squeezed juice for the staff. She’s so sweet. How can my idol be so perfect? I’m going to die!”

“Laien’s pigtails are so cute, like an eighteen-year-old girl, ah, ah, please marry me! Otherwise, I will start to make trouble!”

Of course, there were still people who didn’t forget to mention Ye Kehuan again, saying, “It would be great if Jiang Laien didn’t play with Ye Kehuan. I really can’t like them playing together. After all, these sorts of things should gather in groups. Divide, what kind of pot goes with what lid”, and such.

A black and black pair, there were many echoing comments below.

After Jiang Laien’s part was almost done, finally, Ye Kehuan’s part was about to be ushered in. The netizens immediately turned up to twelve. To be honest, the houses of all of the other stars had actually appeared on Weibo more or less during selfies. Only Ye Kehuan’s house had never appeared in the public’s sight.

Netizens:

“Ye Kehuan’s house shouldn’t be anything to see, right? I’m more curious about what her mother looks like. If she looks so ugly, it would be embarrassing. Aren’t there rumors about Ye Kehuan getting plastic surgery? Hahaha.”

“Ye Kehuan is a chicken who has no strength and shamelessly grabs resources!”

In the next second, the picture on the screen was officially switched. The lens first gave the door a close-up, then a middle show, and finally a wide shot, showing a 360-degree panorama. European-style appearance, super-wide buildings, exaggerated fountains, huge gardens, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a huge castle. The visual aspect was extremely shocking. Many people sitting in front of the TV eating melon seeds had their eye bulge, feeling like they were going silly.

Then, a small kawaii arrow flew out of the screen, with a special effect subtitle: “Who would live in this castle-like house?”

In an instant, everyone picked up their mobile phones:

“Don’t you dare tell me it’s Ye Kehuan! Impossible! Maybe some other guest was temporarily hired?”

“Is the fifth one really Ye Kehuan’s family????? My mind is messed up!”

After shooting the found, the trees, the flowers, and the details of the white tables and chairs placed on the lawn, the scene of the show crew finally stopped playing the mystery, and the camera froze on the respectful person in front of the gate. The housekeeper.

Netizens:

“I’ve really seen it all now. This is the first time I saw something like this in three dimensions… This is the housekeeper from various comics?!”

“Ah yeah, I want to slow down, is this really Ye Kehuan’s house?! The housekeeper said he was the housekeeper of the Ye family, I T_T… I…”

Just when the netizens choked up and couldn’t speak, the camera continued to advance inward. The servants, the prosperous retro crystal lamps, all kinds of art-like furniture, and the huge hall were exposed. Immediately afterwards, the program crew walked into the elevator, reached the third floor, walked through a long corridor, and then turned into a gym full of fitness equipment. Ye Ling appeared. Ye Ling in the lens still looked very young, with perfect body lines, a single ponytail, deep facial features with a western style, and her smile was sunny, confident, and easy-going.

Netizens were so shocked that the melon seeds in their hands were almost lost:

“This is Ye Kehuan’s mother? Oh my god, this is too young!”

“Ah, Ye Kehuan and her mother look alike… the nose and the eyes are exactly the same, but the lips are a little thinner than her mother. It seems that it is really just genes?”

“No, something must have gone wrong. I still can’t believe that this is Ye Kehuan’s home!”

Then, the screen switched to a door. On the screen, after Ye Ling knocked on the door, they saw Ye Kehuan wearing a basic set of home pajamas, with fluffy and messy hair that looked like a chicken coop appearing on the camera.

The moment she spoke, Weibo almost exploded from the screams of netizens:

“Fuck! I can’t be stimulated by this alone. I didn’t go to watch the variety show with moms. Now, immediately, I must see it!”

“Oh my God!” I never thought that Ye Kehuan was so rich at home. I was wrong. I must be blind to think she is so poor! ;(“

“Ah, ah, Sister Ye is really amazing, it turns out that she is the winner of life in the entertainment circle, oh my God, Sister Ye is so mighty!”

Immediately afterwards, Ye Kehuan’s bedroom and the two rows of luxury clothes were all exposed to the camera.

Netizens:

“Ma, it’s all top luxury accessories. I don’t know what words to use to express my feelings. I thought Ye Kehuan was a pawn, but she turned out to be a king!”

“Ah, it turns out that Ye Kehuan is the real Bai Fumei, and is so low-key. Oh my god, I love love it. If you don’t like to wear famous brands, please give them to me?!”

“Sister Ye is too cute, just wear comfortable clothes, this sentence is really amazing!”

“Weak question: Sister Ye, is your family short of dogs? The kind that can eat, drink, and spend money!”

After Ye Kehuan’s family background was exposed, the entirety of Weibo boiled to the point of paralysis but for a few minutes. Even Ye Kehuan’s Weibo fans were rising, and not long after, they surpassed the person not far apart, Cheng Yan, and under the Weibo that she reposted at the end of the welcome show, the number of comments were growing at a rate of several thousand per minute. In a short time, she had reached 100,000 comments and was still continuing to climb.

With that effect, more people turned on the TV, basically wanting to see how rich Ye Kehuan was. At that same time, Ye Kehuan’s evaluation could also be said to have become rave reviews in an instant.

Let me ask, if the family’s rascal had money, but was usually very low-key, did not have disputes with others, cooked well, looked good, and focused on acting, who would not like them?

Inadvertently, people’s mood for watching the show had changed. Originally they wanted to see how Ye Kehuan got embarrassed, but now they just wanted to watch Ye Kehuan’s life.

Slowly, the program reached the point where Ye Kehuan and Ye Ling met Cheng Yan. In fact, Cheng Yan’s attitude in the show did not see to be very arrogant, at most she was just not enthusiastic, but she hid it well, and did not directly convey her disgust towards Ye Kehuan, but the audience watching at the time felt quite delicate.

Every look and action from her, including those expressions of her and Yu Mei after they got the pancakes from Guo Yuqin, were picked up by the public for various interpretations. Some even directly expressed that they hated the artificial feeling from her even more. Some people expected her to react after learning that Ye Kehuan’s family was very wealthy. After all, the reason why the various rumors about Ye Kehuan spread so quickly was because she fanned the flames from behind.

The show hadn’t ended yet, but many people on Weibo had already expressed that their favor with Cheng Yan was extinguishing bit by bit, and they wanted her fans to change their ways. It was quite amazing. Everyone had been waiting for the show for so long, but there had been such a big reversal. Who could accept it? Especially the part in the Drunken Flower Workshop, where Cheng Yan thought a guzheng was a guqin, and that Mountain Valley Flowing Stream was Three Lanes of Plum Blossoms. She had to rely on the mother and daughter of the Ye family to correct her. She was ridiculed by all groups without mercy.

After learning that Drunken Flower Workshop was opened by the Ye family, and seeing Ye Ling’s strict control over the quality of the ingredients, netizens were amazed, and praised Ye Ling one after another, saying that she was beautiful, and not to mention, very conscientious, no wonder she could be so rich.

Looking at it all the way, the shocks that the netizens had received had been in wave after wave. Before they could digest it, the Ye family took the stage again. At the same time, perhaps because they knew that Ye Kehuan’s family was rich, some of Ye Kehuan’s seemingly “shabby” behaviors became cute in everyone’s eyes.

“She’s so cute. It turns out that rich people don’t just spend money randomly when buying things. That chicken is really ugly! It’s unreasonable to sell it so expensive!”

“Wow, the navigation used by the rich is the same as mine, somehow I suddenly feel great!”

“Sister Ye eating tofu brains is so cute! Sister Ye, let me tell you, that store is not the only one in Jingcheng that sells delicious and affordable tofu brains, there is a family in the west of the city, and the owner’s tofu brains are so delicious! It’s also very cheap, at five bucks a bowl!”

Then, the picture changed again, and it was where the two families of Ye and Jiang met.

At that moment, netizens were shocked again:

“What?! So Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien were not only old classmates but also best friends?!”

“Wow, all those people who cried hype should come out! In a situation like this, do you still need those sickening posts?!”

“Anyone who scolded Ye Kehuan for chasing headlines, come on out, what’s wrong, are you all mute now?!”

While marveling at that, everyone began to compare the clothes of the Cheng family’s mother and daughter with that of the Jiang family’s mother and daughter. They couldn’t help but sigh again. Sure enough, the real rich were different. The Cheng family looked like the nouveau riche… Jiang Laien dressed so neatly and refreshingly, like she was smiting Cheng Yan from a thousand miles.

That night was destined to be a restless one. Netizens covered their little hearts one after another, and the amount of information was too large. After a while, it was really really a bit late. Just when everyone thought they could finally calm down, in the show, the group walked into the jewelry store. The program footage also deliberately gave a huge close-up of the store sign.

The public shuddered when they saw the sparkling jewelry with extremely high prices in the store. Most people really couldn’t afford those things. Especially when Jiang Laien tried on that sapphire necklace, the public almost went crazy after seeing the price through the lens, and they all lamented on how beautiful the world of the rich was.

And when Ye Kehuan waved her hand to buy the necklace for Jiang Laien, everyone was shocked.

“Oh my God, I’m going to die. President Ye is too domineering and handsome, she just waved her hand and gave her girlfriend, ah no, her friend a necklace worth ten million yuan. Officer, is this a human!?” 1

“I can’t do it anymore, the phrase ‘you are worth it’ is really too sweet, my maiden’s heart is about to burst!”

“I can’t do it anymore. Did you see the look in President Ye’s eyes when she looked at Laien? She’s so affectionate. Don’t stop me, I’m going to turn on my computer and create something for them now!”

“Spend big money I can!” 2

When everyone was sighing at how sweet Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien were, the camera switched to the conversation between Cheng Yan and the jewelry store assistant. Cheng Yan probably did not expect that all the footage that she asked the crew to cut, which were not good for her--including this video of the fake--were eventually released. She couldn’t think of it, because the reason why they were released was because Ye Ling called the head of the station, so the station followed her instructions.

Ye Ling had never been a bodhisattva. She would not deliberately punish people, but she would never allow others to touch her daughter’s hair.

Almost in an instant, Cheng Yan’s Bai Fumei status fell like an avalanche, completely unstoppable. Everything she worked so hard for was in vain.

Netizens had turned on their mocking mode:

“Actually fake, tut…”

“Well well, what about Bei Fumei and a rich foundation? It turned out to be nothing but that. She’s really too shameless. She has been guiding public opinion to attack Ye Kehuan. In contrast, Ye Kehuan is really more agreeable, and from beginning to end, just ignored her.

“Aha, upstairs, take care of her discount, how could Little Cutie Ye take such a discount?”

“Probably, this is the difference between fake Bai Fumei and real Bai Fumei!”

“The funniest joke I’ve heard in my life: Cheng Yan is Bai Fumei!”

After the show, the names of Ye Kehuan, Jiang Laien, and Cheng Yan had almost dominated the hot searches, and they did not back off for a long time.

At the same time, #YeKehuanAndJiangLaien’sWeddingDress, #YeKehuanAndJiangLaienAreAPerfectMatch, #YeFamilyMansion, #YeKehuan’sBackground, #ChengYanFake, #TheLegendOfTheYeFamily, and so on also boarded the hot searches one after another.

Almighty netizens even started memes about Ye Kehuan.

For example, someone dug up some photos of Ye Kehuan squatting on the floor while eating cold noodles in an enamel bowl while filming, and added the caption “I’m poor just for fun, but you are poor for real”.

In the center of a picture where Ye Kehuan’s arms spread out, they cropped her house into the background, and added the caption: “My family has such a big industry, just ask if you are afraid of it!”

On a photo of Ye Kehuan running and laughing: “You can be beautiful if you have money!”

A caption under a photo of Ye Kehuan holding a rose: “Give me your heart, and I will spend a lot of money on you.”

…

Unknowingly, Ye Kehuan’s image was broken like a sand sculpture by netizens, and everyone was searching for more pictures and sorting them into photo albums.

In addition, the CP fans of Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien were even more emotional and fell even further. They also deliberately cut the scene where Ye Kehuan’s hands were placed on Jiang Laien’s shoulders, and they were looking at each other, and ran it in slow motion. The passage was a little ambiguous and many screamed.

Of course, Ye Ling was also on the hot search. Even though she didn’t dress up very much in the show, and she didn’t dress as deliberately as other people did, she was still praised by the public as the most beautiful star mom. The pictures of her Pilates exercises were even used by some marketing accounts to write articles on how important exercises were.

On the whole, Cheng Yan fared the worst, Xiao Mingguang was praised by some people, and Yu Mei, at best, was just treated as air. Cheng Yan received a lot of scolding. Her Weibo had been attacked in a disastrous manner.

However, there were still some of her iron fans who were defending her, presumably that the fakes were not what she wanted to buy, and there was nothing wrong with her. Her mother’s desire to save money should not be discredited, but praised. At the same time, they quibbled that Cheng Yan had never clearly stated that Ye Kehuan was the person who robbed her of her roles, and that it was all in the minds of others, and Cheng Yan shouldn’t be responsible for that.

In addition, Cheng Yan’s fans also said that even if Ye Kehuan’s family did not have money, Cheng Yan would not be a nouveau riche. If she were only a nouveau riche, why was Cheng Yan invited by an American rich man to attend a gala? If Cheng Yan’s were just nouveau riche, how could Cheng Yan be proficient in eight languages and also play the piano? After all, the nouveau riche would not focus on cultivating those talents. 3

While netizens were discussing the show in full swing, at that time, in a magnificent hotel in Hua City, the show was still being filmed.

The content recorded that day was that all the members would participate in a hotel anniversary ball. Of course, they could participate in this mainly because the hotel and the program team had cooperated to advertise, so such a period of content was designed.

There were a lot of guests participating in the dance party, and the scene was particularly grand. After all, it was a very famous hotel, and there were several dance floors. Therefore, the five groups of guests in the show arrived at the hotel after a game, and they were transformed into dress-up dolls in the hotel dressing room, so as not to make mistakes in waiting for a while, and at the same time, to make sure that they would stun everyone.

That day’s Ye Kehuan put on the clothes that her mother prepared for her. However, it was still not a dress. She didn’t like wearing dresses, because she found them inconvenient, so she chose a Velentino’s slim-fitting black high-definition suit. The cut was simple and generous, and her body looked straight and tall.

She hadn’t taken care of it much, but her aura instantly shot up. After tying a bow on the collar of her white shirt, Ye Ling, who was wearing a champagne backless dress, looked at her, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly: “Baby, this look is really suitable for you.”

Ye Kehuan turned her head and looked in the mirror, raised her hand to adjust her neckline, and then looked at her mother who wore an old-fashioned face and raised her eyebrows slightly: “Really?”

“Yeah.” Ye Ling folded her arms, her posture as graceful as a work of art.

Ye Kehuan laughed when she heard her response, “Okay.”

After that, Ye Kehuan went to sit down again, and the makeup artist applied her makeup. Ye Ling leaned on her side and looked at her, and then at herself in the mirror, only to feel perfect.

Cheng Yan and Liu Yixin were also in that room, and they glanced at Ye Kehuan and Ye Ling from time to time with complicated emotions in their eyes, along with a lot of jealousy and envy. Because, that day’s Ye Kehuan and Ye Ling seemed to be too glamorous, and they felt that there were no problems with shooting a fashion magazine like that.

Cheng Yan looked at them, resisting her displeasure, and suddenly tightened the strap behind her mother: “Mom, tighten your abdomen!”

Liu Yixin said “Ouch!”, and she was a little breathless.

Ye Kehuan and Ye Ling raised their eyebrows, and after everything was settled, they left the room holding each other’s arms.

After walking out of the room and standing on the escalator, the two looked down together, and saw that a lot of guests had already arrived below, and they were all dressed very decently.

When someone below looked up and saw Ye Ling and Ye Kehuan, they showed a happy expression.

“It’s Mrs. Ye!” They didn’t know who shouted, but one after another, several people looked up at them.

Ye Kehuan retracted her gaze, looked at Ye Ling, tilted her head slightly, and made a “please” gesture. Ye Ling pursed her lips and smiled, putting one hand on her daughter’s arm, and one hand gently lifting her dress, and walked down gracefully. The lights of the hotel hit them, making them look more exquisite and charming, as if they were exuding a galaxy-like bright light.

The moment they went down, people immediately surrounded them with wine glasses. Ye Ling took a glass of wine from the tray of the waiter next to her and touched it lightly: “Cheers.”

Ye Kehuan looked sideways at her mother’s profile and couldn’t help but smile. Her mother was really charming. No wonder her father, even if he had lived with Ye Ling for nearly 30 years, was still afraid that others would covet his wife.

When Ye Ling was talking to someone, Ye Kehuan inadvertently looked up and saw Jiang Laien and Fan Qiuyue also appearing on the stairs.

That day’s Jiang Laien was wearing a long, silver-gray one-shouldered dress. The fabric seemed to be covered with stars, and the luxurious luster was glowing like the night sky. The fabric was light, the dress was elegant, and her skin was fair, with her hair like seaweed. Her lips were red and her teeth were white, like a princess walking out of a fairy tale. At that moment, she seemed to be looking for something. While walking, her gaze kept facing downwards, and her little confused look seemed even more lovely.

Upon seeing that, Ye Kehuan smiled and turned her head to say a few words to Ye Ling and the guests in front of her, and then walked towards the stairs. The camera operator also ran over quickly.

“Laien.” Standing at the foot of the stairs, Ye Kehuan called her softly.

When Jiang Laien her her words, she immediately turned her eyes, and then smiled: “I was just looking for you just now.”

Ye Kehuan looked at her and leaned over slightly: “Me too.”

“Okay, you two go play, I’ll find Sister Ling.” Seeing Ye Kehuan’s arrival, Fan Qiuyue left after a few words.

Ye Kehuan smiled happily, and then stretched out her hand to Jiang Laien.

When Jiang Laien saw that, she put her hand in her palm, and after walking down the last step, the two of them hooked their arms and walked towards Ye Ling.

At the same time, Cheng Yan and Liu Yixin also came down from above. Liu Yixin’s dress didn’t fit very well, but because she thought it looked more expensive, she still brought it, but she was panicked. Cheng Yan was a little impatient and wanted to roll her eyes, but because of the camera there, she couldn’t. In short, the whole process was almost suffocating.

She didn’t know what the show looked like after it was broadcast, because she had been busy all day. She really wanted to look at her phone then, but it was impossible. Her phone wasn’t even on her body. Her mind was messy and, especially, upset.

After going down, Cheng Yan and Liu Yixin looked around and found that they knew no one, so they had to walk towards Ye Kehuan, so at least they would not just stand there awkwardly.

But after standing next to Ye Kehuan, Cheng Yan only saw Ye Ling, Ye Kehuan, and Jiang Laien were all talking to people. The other party was a foreigner. They were talking in a whisper, and it didn’t sound like English. She didn’t know who they were. She didn’t understand what they said. They were all smiling, but Cheng Yan was dumbfounded.

At that moment, Guo Yuqin suddenly came over and pulled Cheng Yan’s arm.

“What’s the matter?” Cheng Yan asked, turning around.

“Yanyan, what does he mean? I don’t understand. I heard that you speak eight languages. Can you help but translate?” Guo Yuqin smiled embarrassedly, and pointed to the person standing next to her at that moment. A foreigner.

Cheng Yan felt her mind go blank, and the corners of her lips were about to twitch: “Okay…”

So, the foreigner looked at her and talked a lot.

Cheng Yan’s entire mind was instantly stuck. The so-called eight languages were nothing more than her hype, because that would make her seem very powerful. But in fact, she didn’t even speak English very well, let alone other languages.

“What does he mean?” Guo Yuqin asked Cheng an.

“He, he meant…” Cheng Yan pursed her lips and squeezed her fingers. She was about to draw blood from her lips.

At that moment, Ye Kehuan turned around, looked at Guo Yuqin, and said in a low voice: “He said that he just saw you standing with Xiao Mingguang, so he came to you, because his daughter loves Chinese culture very much, and likes Xiao Mingguang’s dances and songs a lot. If possible, he wants to ask for an autograph for his daughter.”

After listening, Guo Yuqin suddenly smiled at the other: “Okay, okay, he’ll be here soon!”

After listening, Ye Kehuan laughed and looked at the foreigner again: “Онсейчаспридёт.” [He’s coming now.]

The foreigner nodded, looked at Cheng Yan, then looked at Ye Kehuan, and finally smiled and said something in English: “Thanku.”

After the music started, Ye Kehuan led Jiang Laien through the crowd gracefully and walked towards the center. Cheng Yan stood on the spot, looking at Ye Kehuan’s back, her teeth clenched tightly, and her eyes seemed to be about to gouge out two holes in her back.

The author has something to say: I’m so tired, my hands are numb, on the Nth day of the ten thousandths, praise me!

TL/N

1 - A reference to what I remember being the most popular genre of novel in China, the domineering CEO.

2 - Cameo by Yoda.

3 - Changed a passage here, but I think you deserve the original, because it’s very funny. The machine translation of one line: “...why was Cheng Yan invited by an American rich man to attend a pajama party?” Now, this is obviously not what it meant, but I find the idea very wholesome, that the elite of the world gather together for slumber parties and have pillow fights while discussing who has a crush on who.
