CH 60

After the end of the day’s activities, everyone talked and laughed back to the small villa, relieving the fatigue of the day, and prepared to rest.

After Cheng Yan returned to her room, she turned on her mobile phone without saying anything to check the status of the show after it was broadcast. It didn’t matter. She was shocked when she saw that she was basically scolded on the Internet by everyone, and the line of defense of her fans almost collapsed. Even if there were some fans on Weibo who were scanning their screens in an organized and regular manner, some passersby were not. Neutralizing remarks were suppressed, and the speed of their counters were too slow. Every second, some new comments mocking her were posted, really hateful.

“Are you stupid? You have the face to say what other people do for money? As a public figure, spreading such rumors, are you really a star?”

“I used to like you a lot. My phone wallpaper lock screen and all kinds of avatars were all you, but it’s really a pity that I can’t like you anymore. You can do it yourself, goodbye.”

“The day before yesterday, I had a tattoo of you. Now I really regret that to my death. I guess I’m blind. I poked myself.”

“Don’t you really want to be on the show? Haven’t you been complaining about Ye Kehuan for taking your opportunities? Now that you are on the show, how are you feeling? Isn’t the drama of someone collapsing nice?”

…

Netizens even began to talk about the moisture content in her luxury goods, wondering whether they were really genuine. She had no warning, and she was shocked. It turned out that the necklace that Liu Yixin wore on the show was also a fake, because it had one more petal than the original one.

The discovery immediately caused a wave of ridicule, and some even said that they would never buy products supported by her account again. After all, what if it was a fake? As a result, some people who had purchased some before posted the pictures of the transaction records on the Internet, inviting people to verify the authenticity. As a result, it was found in the appraisal that a bottle of perfume was also a copycat.

In a short period of time, Cheng Yan was dubbed the title of “Princess of Fakes”, and anyone could step on her and laugh.

Cheng Yan looked at those comments, and her panic was like a huge wave, engulfing her whole body. She had never experienced such a thing before. She had always lived a life of a moon surrounded by stars. How could she have experienced such a thing? 

With trembling fingers, Cheng Yan put on her earphones and started watching the first episode, fast-forwarding the whole process, and only stopped to take a closer look when the camera came to her. After a glance, her whole face was almost white with rage. She clearly to program group to delete those shots, and even promised to give them money, but they still broadcasted the scenes regardless.

Clenching her fist, Cheng Yan clicked on those hot searches about Ye Kehuan, and saw that the whole of Weibo were talking about her, seeming to be teasing, but in fact they were expressing their likes.

Cheng Yan’s mentality was completely broken at that time. Obviously she was far ahead of Ye Kehuan, whether it was in acting, popularity, or word of mouth, but why was it like that now? Looking at Ye Kehuan’s Weibo homepage, looking at the praises sung about Ye Kehuan, Cheng Yan was really jealous and felt her heart bleed.

Her agent, Liu Neng, sent her a lot of news, but she didn’t check it. She just got red eyes and started editing her Weibo content: “Because you are a public figure, you should bear online violence? When you attack a person online, have you ever considered whether what you are doing is evil?”

However, after Cheng Yan’s Weibo that seemed reasonable was posted, no one bought it at all.

“You said that we are violent, but when you guided your fans to be violent towards Ye Kehuan, did you ever consider if what you were doing was evil? Have you ever considered Ye Kehuan’s mood?”

“Most people are just mocking you, knowing that you don’t have the skills, but you still have your history towards Ye Kehuan and selling fake goods. Isn’t that true? Now it’s cyber violence? You dare to put it like that, huh?”

“When you were violating others on the Internet, you felt so at ease. When you are mocked by a few netizens, you become glass-hearted? You sure are an interesting little ****.”

“The funniest joke I heard today: Cyber violence leader rejects cyber violence.”

…

When Cheng Yan saw that everyone was continuing to mock her in unison, she became angry and wanted to smash everything in the house to pieces, but she still controlled it. However, after a while, she finally couldn’t help it, got up suddenly from the bed, opened the cabinet, took out all her clothes inside, and threw them into her opened suitcase.

Liu Yixin, who had just taken a show, came out of the bathroom and looked at her in amazement: “What are you doing?”

Cheng Yan sniffled and continued to fold her clothes: “I’m not recording anymore.”

“Huh?” Liu Yixin was stunned, unable to comprehend.

“I said, I don’t want to record that **** bad show!” Cheng Yan turned to look at her, shouted hoarsely at her, then closed her suitcase, put on her jacket, and went to leave with her suitcase.

“But, the liquidated damages…” Liu Yixin ran in front of her to stop her.

“Our Cheng family can’t even afford this little money?! What are you worried about?!” When Cheng Yan heard Liu Yixin’s worry about money, it ignited the anger within her instantly, and she ignored the fact that there were still many cameras in the room filming. Pulling her suitcase, she pushed Liu Yixin aside and walked out.

Cheng Yan was crying along the way, her tears falling in a stream, her nose was too red, and when she went down the stairs, she was so blind that she nearly fell. She really couldn’t stay any longer. At that moment, she just wanted to quickly escape from there, escape from it all, without thinking about the consequences.

After hearing the movement, the rest of the house opened their doors and looked at her. They saw that Cheng Yan had left the house and the door was slammed shut.

“What’s wrong with her?” Ye Ling looked at Liu Yixin who was standing on the stairs.

“She’s not recording anymore.” Liu Yixin turned her head and glanced at Ye Ling, unable to tell what kind of look she had, and then returned to her room and began to pack things up.

“Cheng Yan left?” At the same time, Li Yaolin and Yu Mei walked to the corridor.

“Yes,” Ye Ling nodded and smiled, “Maybe she’s just too tired. I’m also a little tired. I’ll go to bed first. See you tomorrow.”

“Good night.” Li Yaolin looked at Ye Ling up and down until she watched Ye Ling return to her room, before going back to theirs. That Ye Ling really looked like a vixen, pretending to be tender at a young age.

After Yu Mei returned to bed, she flipped through everyone’s comments on the Internet, clicked on a screenshot of Jiang Laien, and her lips tightened involuntarily.

That was the case every time, as long as Jiang Laien was there, everyone’s eyes would be firmly attracted by her, and then no one would pay attention to her anymore. That was the case when they made that movie back then. She was obviously the protagonist, but she was overtaken by a supporting role, and that was the case now. With her on the show, everyone’s attention was fixed on her, and not even a few people discussed Yu Mei. Her own existence seemed to be a decoration, or just air.

Thinking of that, Yu Mei closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. Obviously her family was similar to Jiang Laien’s, and her appearance was not bad, and she was even redder than her at first, but why did she become like this later?

Just because Jiang Laien had a pleasing face? Was it just because Jiang Laien looked like a bodhisattva without fighting or grabbing? They were all talking about her unique style, but the entertainment industry was created by many people, didn’t they know?

Seeing that she was twenty-seven or twenty-eight, but still mixed up like this, Yu Mei was really unwilling. This show was a great opportunity to stand up. After all, many people who had passed out of public view relied on reality shows to stand up. She definitely couldn’t keep going as she was, she had to do something that would attract the public’s attention. However, she definitely couldn’t show off her wealth like Cheng Yan, doing so would be an instant loss. There was Ye Kehuan on the show; who could be richer than her?

After thinking about it, Yu Mei thought of a way. That was, to create a pleasing character, one that was more pleasing than Jiang Laien, and one that would be fully remembered by the public. For example, a talented woman, or filial one, or kind, or…

After thinking about it, Yu Mei had some ideas.

At that moment, Ye Kehuan was in her room.

After Ye Kehuan took a shower and lay her head down, she habitually read Weibo. Swiping, Ye Kehuan turned over and looked at Ye Ling: “Mom, have you been online?”

Ye Ling, who was doing a plank on her bed, turned her head to look at her upon hearing that, “What’s the matter?”

“Netizens are praising you as the goddess of frozen age.” Ye Kehuan also made a plank like her.

“Really?” Ye Ling smiled happily, and raised her eyebrows. “Netizens really have insights.”

Ye Kehuan glanced at her, smiled, and shook her head. If it were not her mother, she really wanted to retort with “shameless”. No longer doing a plank, Ye Kehuan lay back on the bed, crossed her legs carelessly, and continued to look at her phone.

Ye Kehuan was stunned after seeing the pile of memes that netizens made of her. Aside from the laughter, she was a little worried that everyone’s focus on her would be off the right track. In the future, would everyone only care about the gossip about her home, and not pay attention to her acting skills?

That was until Ye Kehuan swiped and read a letter from a diehard fan to herself on Weibo, and her eyes went a little red.

Seeing Ye Kehuan’s sudden silence, Ye Ling turned to look at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I read a letter written by a fan on Weibo.” Ye Kehuan squeezed her chin and whispered.

“Let’s listen to it?” Ye Ling lay on her side, slowly raising her leg into the air, and then put it down.

Ye Kehuan cleared her throat after hearing her words, “To my dear Miss Ye Kehuan. I am considered an old iron fan of yours. I have been paying attention since you first debuted. Although others have always misunderstood and attack you, and there are a lot of them, and they have also mocked my aesthetics and taste because my idol is you, I haven’t changed my love and expectations of you. After those silly things finally saw you today, I broke down. I was so happy, so happy that I was rolling in bed! Great, please continue to work hard in the future, try to be a good actor, and work hard to realize your dreams. Please continue to shine!”

After reading that paragraph, Ye Kehuan’s eyes were a little moist, and she said to herself: “I will definitely work hard, and I will definitely not let down your expectations of me.”

After hearing that, Ye Ling stopped the exercise she was doing, looked at her thoughtfully, and finally exhaled and lay down: “It seems that you really love this job. No matter how much we objected.”

Ye Kehuan heard her words and turned to look at her: “Of course.”

“Then go for it. I’ll talk to your dad; we won’t stop you anymore.” Ye Ling closed her eyes.

After listening, Ye Kehuan smiled and nodded vigorously: “Yeah!”

After a while, Ye Kehuan swiped enough on Weibo, and then tapped on Jiang Laien’s chat box: “Are you asleep?”

After a moment, Jiang Laien replied: “I just laid down and was about to send you a message.”

Ye Kehuan’s lips curled slightly, and she turned over, putting her back to Ye Ling: “Why, miss me?”

Jiang Laien: “I see you every day. What do you want to talk about?”

Ye Kehuan looked at it, smiled, and continued typing: “It’s different. This is different from out two-person would, isn’t it? For example, if there are only the two of us, we can do something that we can’t do when we are with everyone.”

After reading the message from Ye Kehuan, Jiang Laien on the other side of the phone clenched her teeth, “Isn’t there a single serious thing in your mind?”

Ye Kehuan continued to smile: “Then you can talk about if, what am I saying, where do Iook dishonest?”

Jiang Laien: “? Do you want me to say it? You said it yourself, you want to do something that you can’t do when we are with everyone…”

Looking at her words, Ye Kehuan couldn’t help but imagine her little arrogant and shy appearance, so her mood of wanting to tease her became even stronger.

“Then what do you think I want to do that I can’t do?” Ye Kehuan’s smile widened after sending it over.

Jiang Laien: “That kind of thing…”

Ye Kehuan looked at her words and her lips became dry inexplicably: “Yeah, I really want to do that with you. I want to see you under me…”

“Aren’t you sleeping? Who are you talking to?” However, while Ye Kehuan was still typing, Ye Ling suddenly half propped up and patted her on the shoulder.

Ye Kehuan was shocked instantly, the phone fell directly onto the bed, and then she turned around to look at Ye Ling with a horrified expression: “Mom, what are you doing, scaring me to death!”

Ye Ling looked at her and raised her eyebrows: “You usually don’t do anything wrong, and you’re not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. What are you so nervous about?”

Ye Kehuan coughed: “You appeared so suddenly, who wouldn’t be scared?”

“Really?” Ye Ling looked at her with interest, glanced at her phone, and then retreated again, “Okay, I won’t talk to you. I’m going to sleep, turn off the lights.”

After speaking, Ye Ling flipped the light off.

Ye Kehuan was holding her phone and staring at the ceiling in the darkness. After a long sigh of relief, she sent a message to Jiang Laien: “My mother suddenly appeared and urged me to go to sleep. I was scared to death. Then, I will go to sleep first, see you tomorrow.”

Jiang Laien: “Okay, see you tomorrow.”

Putting down her phone, Ye Kehuan took a deep breath, turned her head, and looked at Ye Ling, who was lying next to her. After a long while, she turned her head again. Recently, she suddenly wanted to come out. She just didn’t know if the two Bodhisattvas in her family would accept her liking girls.

However, she really didn’t want to hide in the dark with Jiang Laien all her life. She wanted to be together and upright.

Thinking of that, Ye Kehuan smiled again.

At that moment, Ye Ling opened her eyes, quietly observing her daughter, who couldn’t fall asleep over and over, in the dark, and began to recall all the appearances of her daughter when she was with Jiang Laien. Was she worried? But she had never seen Ye Kehuan look at others with such eyes, whether it was a man or woman. However, she had seen such a look in other people’s eyes, and she had seen Ye Kehuan’s father, Ye Bingquan. When Ye Bingquan looked at her, he always had that look in his eyes.

Good girl, falling in love so quickly, but not even talking to her mother about it. Furthermore, it was a girl? Ye Ling closed her eyes and let out another sigh. Although she really liked Jiang Laien, she still felt a little worried.

Because Cheng Yan insisted on quitting the recording of the show, after the communication with the program group failed, the group decided to let her go. The next trip would be completed by the four groups of families traveling together.

After Cheng Yan’s withdrawal from the show was leaked by the staff, a storm once again set off. However, most people were scolding her glass heart for having no sense of responsibility. Ye Ling liked to hear about it, but she really didn’t expect Cheng Yan to be so stupid. At that kind of time, it was better to keep recording without saying a word, and then create a new good image for herself. However, she preferred to just go away. With that kind of temperament, it seemed that she was not long for the entertainment industry.

In fact, Ye Ling’s idea was correct. After the second episode was broadcast, Cheng Yan was beaten into a pig’s head. Originally, her impression in the hearts of the public had been reduced to zero. After being exposed as a fraud in the eight languages department, her temper was exposed to everyone, and she even left the show in anger. Her impression with the public swiftly reached the negatives.

Even her little friends who used to play with her all kept away from her like a rabid animal, for fear they would be bitten by her poor reputation. Even Yu Mei didn’t say anything for her, for fear of her own situation worsening.

At the same time, her former assistant who had always hated her for a long time also ran out and started a blog, accusing her of her arrogance and snobbery, and not treating the poor as people. As a result, Cheng Yan was hated by the public even more, and some people even said that they would never watch a TV series starring her again.

On the contrary, the popularity and praise of Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien were rising steadily. Everyone was licking their CP, looking for various loving interactions on the show, and making some animations go viral. Especially the scene of the two dancing, making netizens shout so sweet, this girls’ heart is about to explode. The Jiang Ye CP was locked in by the public in that manner.

In late March, after recording two more episodes, the group packed up and rushed to another city--Chucheng.

Perhaps the most famous part of this city was its food. It didn’t have many attractions. Everyone came there to eat, and all kinds of tourist strategies focused on eating. Since it was a show, everyone would first go to a restaurant that cooperated with the program group to enjoy the food.

After arriving in Chucheng, and unpacking in their new residence, it was almost time for dinner, so the four groups of families went to the “Heise” restaurant to enjoy local dishes.

The decoration of the restaurant was very interesting. There were lotus leaves and lotuses everywhere, and although they were fake flowers, they were still very charming visually. The group of people walked to a round table and took their seats. After ordering a few dishes on the recommendations of the clerk, they chatted with each other.

Chucheng was a magical place. It was cold everywhere else at that time, but it was already a bit hot there, and two layers could not be worn, so you had to wear a single layer or short sleeves.

Before long, a kid wearing a red dress and braids suddenly ran over there with a small notebook and a pencil. After standing next to Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien, she said: “Sister Ye, Sister Jiang, I like you, can you sign for me?”

The child’s cheeks were immature and milky, making her look extremely cute. Everyone was amused by her.

“Okay!” Without saying anything, Ye Kehuan took her pencil, signed her big name in the notebook, and handed it to Jiang Laien.

“How old are you this year?” Jiang Laien asked her when signing.

“Six years old!” The little girl stretched out six fingers, looking like a soft little steamed bun.

“You’re so cute.” After Jiang Laien handed the notebook back to her, she reached out and touched her little head.

“I’m not cute, you are cute, you are a little fairy!” The kid smiled with bright eyes, and blocked half of her face with the notebook.

In an instant, everyone at the table laughed, except for Yu Mei.

“Haha, if she is a little fairy, what about me?” Ye Kehuan tilted her head and looked at her, pointing her finger to her chest.

The little girl rolled her eyes and continued to smile: “You are also a little fairy. Only a little fairy and a little fairy can be together.”

What a childish speech. Everyone was overwhelmed with joy in an instant. Ye Kehuan looked at Jiang Laien, and the two couldn’t help but lower their heads with a smile.

At that time, the little girl ran to Xiao Mingguang: “Big brother, can you also sign for me?”

Xiao Mingguang listened, showing a very sunny smile, and took the pencil from her hand: “Okay.”

After the little girl got the autograph, she sent him a kiss, which made everyone laugh again. Finally, the little girl walked to Yu Mei. Yu Mei, whose face had been stiff, became energetic in an instant, and she was even ready to sign for her. However, what she didn’t expect was that the little girl didn’t make a stop, and just hopped around her to find her mother with the notebook in her arms.

In other words, among the celebrities at the table, everyone else was asked for an autograph by the little girl, and only one was left behind. Yu Mei looked at the kid’s back and held her breath in her heart. She was extremely uncomfortable and didn’t know what to do.

She was really stimulated. She was also in the entertainment industry. Even Xiao Mingguang had people asking for autographs, but she was regarded as air, so she was ignored. Who could bear it?

The people at the dinner didn’t know that Yu Mei was already so angry that she was about to explode, and then they went to the next chat topic. Inexplicably, Guo Yuqin talked about her son’s feelings, saying that one of the downsides of her son’s business was that he had no time to fall in love. His peers were all married at the time, but her son would be single for the foreseeable future.

After listening, Li Yaolin laughed: “No, so is my daughter. She is devoted to her career and has no time to fall in love. There seems to be nothing in her heart that can be compared with her career, such as dating. She’s never sad. She’s different about filming from other things. I’ve seen it a lot. Even if she is sick or tired to death, she will keep filming with just willpower.”

On the surface, Li Yaolin’s remarks seemed to be complaining about her daughter’s lack of prospects, but it was in fact an expression of how hard her daughter worked on acting.

Yu Mei was very satisfied with her mother’s remarks. In that way, people across the country would know that she was a very dedicated actress. Although she rarely did that kind of thing.

Fan Qiuyue listened and said with a smile: “It’s good to work hard, but the body is still important. After all, your body is your capital. If you really can’t stand it, it’s good to take a rest. If you refill your energy, you will have more energy to film more.”

Yu Mei listened and smiled gracefully: “There is no other option. In order to complete the task, many times I have had to work hard. In my life, work is always first. I can’t let the whole crew wait for me. I may not be as talented as Laien, and my resources and popularity are not as good, so I can only work harder.”

That passage seemed to be very good, and Jiang Laien was also praised. But in fact, she was stepping on Jiang Laien, implying that she worked harder than her, and implied that Jiang Laien was also much luckier than her.

Jiang Laien couldn’t help raising her eyebrows when she heard that. Yu Mei, work hard? Why didn’t she remember it? She just remembered that every time she worked with her, she liked to have little temper tantrums. The plot there was not satisfying and she didn’t want to film, or the plot here was not satisfying and it needed to be changed. The weather was too hot, and in order to avoid heatstroke, she needed to take a break… That was really… Did you work hard, or does everyone else remember it wrongly?

The be honest, Jiang Laien had a blacklist on filming with Yu Mei.

Jiang Laien would never forget the appearance of Yu Mei frequently making low-level mistakes during the second time they cooperated when filming a rival scene. She was visiting her aunt in that scene, and Yu Mei pushed her into a pond. Yu Mei made the simple action countless times. After the scene was finally filmed, she got sick.

“Meimei’s mood is not difficult to understand. It’s quite right. Which of these children here doesn’t fight, right? She’s not the only one. I heard Mingguang spent all his time for sleep and food rehearsing a performance last year, and finally fainted. He was sent to the hospital. The doctor advised him to rest more. After he woke up, he went to rehearsal again. I remember that after the performance, he went to the hospital again immediately after stepping off the stage, right?” Ye Ling curled her lips and looked towards him with a smile.

After listening, Xiao Mingguang smiled and shook his hand: ‘Because you don’t want to drag everyone down just because you couldn’t stand up. It’s nothing.”

“You,” Ye Ling smiled and pointed at him, “are really humble.”

Before Ye Ling came to participate on the show, it could be said that she got to know everyone.

After that, Ye Ling looked at Jiang Laien again: “And Laien also, for the purpose of filming, in order to better perform a terminally ill person, did not eat much for a whole month, and got far too skinny. She was sent to the hospital for nutrient solutions and almost got anorexia, right?”

When Jiang Laien heard that, she smiled: “In fact, it wasn’t a big deal. However, if you want to lose weight in reality, don’t do it like that.”

Ye Ling smiled again: “They are all humble children.”

After speaking, Ye Ling looked at Li Yaolin and Yu Mei: “So, I really understand. After all, everyone is like this.”

After speaking, Ye Ling smiled.

Looking at Ye Ling, Yu Mei felt suffocated for a moment. She was trying to make an image, and Ye Ling saying that destroyed her uniqueness in an instant, and she abruptly turned things into everyone’s hard work, nothing for her.

“Yes, yes, haha.” Yu Mei smiled awkwardly while holding the cup of tea in front of her.

“Yes, Kehuan also works very hard. It is obvious that her family is powerful, but she doesn’t borrow its stripes, and she fights with her own fists. Even if she is mocked, she has no complaints at all, and she continues to work hard. Obviously, she could rely on the money at home to select good scripts and bring funds to the group, and pave the way for herself, but she did not. It’s really rare.” At that time, Fan Qiuyue also added with a smile. 1

On the surface, they were just chatting, but in fact, there was a palace drama being staged there.

Yu Mei knew that she was mocking her, saying that she had bought her way onto a certain team. Although no one knew about that, the Jiang family knew about it because she had squeezed out the role of Jiang Laien. Thinking of that, Yu Mei’s face went green then white, but she calmed down quickly, and squeezed a reply from her lips: “Yes.”

Ye Kehuan smiled: “I think that being an actor mainly depends on your strength. If you aren’t strong, even if you have enough famous names, you will still wallow in the shallows.”

Ye Kehuan’s words were not meant for Yu Mei, just her true thoughts, but she accidentally stepped on Yu Mei’s achilles' heel. Especially the phrase “wallowing in mediocrity”. In order to make herself popular, Yu Mei could be said to have spent a lot of money over the years, and even used money to forge plastic friendships with a group of others with small traffic in the circle, in order to keep up with their popularity when necessary, and at the same time, she was in a lot of dramas and show, but she didn’t know why, they never made a splash, and people only went to her Weibo to watch her show off her wealth.

Until a few days later, when she saw some critics’ commentary on herself in a post, saying that she had no defining characteristics, moderate beauty, and mediocre acting skills, which made  people feel that she would never be too popular. At that time, she was really about to explode.

“Yes.” After pulling at the corner of her lips, Yu Mei finally clenched out another reply.

“Wow, the food is finally up, it’s ready, come on, chatting can come later, but I am starving to death!” At that time, the waiter came in with a tray and put the dishes on the table one by one. Guo Yuqin picked up her chopsticks.

“The dishes in this restaurant look pretty good.” Ye Ling looked around the table, and saw that the dishes were delicious in color and fragrance, which made people salivate.

“Yes, it’s so hearty. It looks like I really have more appetite when it isn’t western food!” Guo Yuqin was really not used to western food, feeling it was dull and tasteless. She couldn’t taste the spice, and it felt stinky.

“Then let’s eat, otherwise, it will be cold later.” Fan Qiuyue smiled.

When Jiang Laien picked up a piece of fish, Guo Yuqin suddenly smiled and opened her mouth: “I suddenly remember the show that Kehuan participated in. Kehuan is also very good at cooking. I rewatched that whole show from beginning to end. I saw it all, and I’d really like to try it out.”

After listening, Ye Kehuan smiled and said, “I am just an amateur, and nothing more than that.”

Guo Yuqin put a piece of beef into her bowl, and continued to smile: “What’s the matter, you are not a chef, and you are already very good. These children, one is lazier than the other. Let alone cooking, many people can’t even boil water to cook noodles and just burn the bottom of the pot. Children like you are really rare.”

“Yes, Kehuan is really amazing. I can’t do it at all. The things I make are just barely enough to eat. They are not delicious at all.” Jiang Laien sighed along the way and looked at Ye Kehuan. Her eyes were also full of pride.

Seeing that the focus had shifted to Ye Kehuan again, Yu Mei, in order to improve her sense of presence and improve her image, immediately said: “In fact, cooking is something that is pretty easy to do. It just takes a lot of practice to master the skills.”

When Jiang Laien heard her words, she smiled briefly: “Yes, but I may not be talented, so I can only cook some small dishes, and they are not delicious.”

“Come slowly. I didn’t know anything before, but after careful study, I found that it was actually quite simple.” Yu Mei smiled slightly.

Jiang Laien nodded: ‘It seems that your cooking skills should be good?”

Yu Mei raised her hand and gently lifted her hair: “It’s okay, generally, it’s just enough for a single meal.”

After listening to their conversation, Guo Yuqin praised Yu Mei again: “That’s really rare. People from family backgrounds like you and Kehuan obviously don’t have to do it yourself.”

When Yu Mei heard Guo Yuqin’s praise, she laughed: “Actually, sometimes if our chef Auntie is too busy, I will help make things together. In my heart, being rich is not a privilege. Doing it yourself is a real privilege. It’s fun. It would be too boring to just open your mouth and have dinner delivered. Moreover, cooking is a thing that can cultivate sentiment, and it can also encourage a person to calm down complicated thoughts and figure things out. It really helps my mind.”

Yu Mei’s remarks made it seem like she not only possessed skills, but also contained a lot of connotations.

Guo Yuqin felt that she was speaking profoundly and reasonably, and she couldn’t help raising her hand to applaud her: “Well said! People who are educated really speak differently!”

“Where, I just say what I feel.” Yu Mei smiled. The personal setting for being able to cook had been established.

Jiang Laien didn’t say much, just put a piece of spare rib into her mother’s bowl, and then asked her if she would like to drink soup.

Ye Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, and did not speak, but ate food quietly.

Ye Kehuan looked at Yu Mei, tilted her head, picked up her chopsticks, and reached out to a dish on a plate.

Chucheng was not a big city, and there were not many scenic spots. Basically, it was just eating. Therefore, the group only recorded for three days, took photos of a few restaurants, and ate some street food, and then it was time to enter the next link.

A frightening link, because, at the next stop, they would never be able to live the same kind of life with “good clothes and jade food”. In the next stop, they would be taken to a scenic spot that had not been officially opened to the public, and even the farmhouses were in their preparatory stage.

And where they were going, deep in the mountains, had no traffic, no skyscrapers, no takeaways, and no five-star hotels. There, it was still a remote area, and there was no wireless network. Let alone 4G, even the 2G was very unstable, and could cut out at any time. The above information was currently being disclosed by the program group. Because it was special, the program group held a small meeting for everyone, so that everyone could buy some necessary things, such as mosquito repellent.

When the program staff finished speaking, everyone except Guo Yuqin was stunned. After all, only Guo Yuqin had suffered. Guo Yuqin lived in the country before, and Xiao Mingguang had also spent several years in the mountains when he was a child. But the others were all born and raised in the city, and they were well-off families and very wealthy.

Everyone knew that they would go to the country, but no one would have thought that the conditions would be so difficult. Fortunately, both Ye Ling and Fan Qiuyue had something overseas, so they could fly away temporarily and escape the disaster.

“Then, where do we stay?” Jiang Laien asked.

“Don’t worry about where you will stay, the program group has already arranged it.” The staff answered with a smile.

“That’s good.” Jiang Laien nodded, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

“Then, in such a place, is there a restaurant or something?” Li Yaolin couldn’t help asking.

The staff smiled: “Of course not.”

When Li Yaolin heard that, her expression changed instantly: “Then how can we solve the problem of eating? Do we eat at a peasant’s house in the village?”

The staff member listened, shook his head, and said with a smile: “There is no village. There are no farmers.”

After Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien heard that, they couldn’t help but stare at the staff.

“Then?” Li Yaolin was a little panicked.

“There are only a few bungalows, only you will be there, and there is no one else for a few kilometers. So, if you want to eat, get it yourself.” The staff was still smiling.

“Huh?” Yu Mei’s eyes widened in an instant.

“What’s the matter with Meimei?” Guo Yuqin looked at Yu Mei. “Cooking should be a trivial matter to you. There is nothing wrong with it, right?”

Yu Mei opened her mouth, nodded, and smiled: “Of course… no problem.”

She felt like dying. Cooking? She was a person who could only burn the bottom of the pot when boiling water, and she had to cook? Although Yu Mei had a Buddha-like smile on her face, her heart was as flustered as if she was being trampled by 10,000 alpacas.
