◎Bet: When will the eldest lady beat her brother?◎

Lu Ge scratched his head, feeling a headache when thinking about his mother's appearance. Then he looked at his sister who seemed to be so carefree. Of course, in his mother's eyes, his sister was her biological daughter, and he was just picked up from the trash can.

Director Zhang didn't care about the guests' cries of despair. He didn't inform them of this arrangement in advance, catching them off guard and not giving them a chance to discuss it with their families beforehand. Director Zhang wanted to be the director of a variety show that was authentic.

The first group played was the one with Chi Huai and Chi Ling. In the video, what caught the eye was a cold beauty sitting at a desk in a neat suit, with a strong aura.

The cold beauty glanced over gently, and even through the camera, one could feel the aura of the woman. Next to it was a subtitle: Chi Huai and Chi Ling's mother - Ms. An.

As if suppressed by the aura, the staff member who asked the question had a trembling voice: How do you view your daughter and son?

"I don't have any opinion." Ms. An sat straight at her desk, her face expressionless and her tone calm.

Then the video was silent for a few seconds, and the staff's inner torment could be felt through the screen.

[I feel sorry for the staff, but Huai Shen really looks like his mother, and Ling Bao must have learned her cold face from her mother, hahh.]

[Wait, isn't that Ms. An the chairman of the Glai Group? She was also at the S City Economic Summit last month. My village now has internet access, and Huai Shen Lingbao is actually her son or daughter.]

[Could it be that Lingbao is the legendary figure who will retire from the entertainment industry and return home to inherit the family fortune if he doesn’t become popular? What a joke.]

What followed was a series of tenacious questions and answers from the staff, followed by Ms. An's cold one-word replies, which ultimately ended in failure with the staff fleeing in panic.

Everyone in the living room looked at Chi Huai and his sister. The three of them in the family were all cold beauties, copied and pasted. I wonder if Chi's father is the same. It really is a family tradition.

Chi Huai and Chi Ling remained expressionless despite everyone's gaze.

Next was the group of Xiao Chuchu and Xiao Long. The one who appeared was a muscular man. His loud voice of "Let the recording begin." lifted everyone's spirits.

Others looked at Xiao's father in the video, and then at Xiao Long. These two father and son were truly copy and paste.

[I can't say they're exactly the same, I can only say there's no difference. I didn't expect Xiao's father to be such a hunky man with eight-pack abs.]

[It's amazing, how did this muscular man give birth to a sweet girl?]

When the staff asked what they thought of the siblings Xiao Chuchu and Xiao Long, Xiao's father kept talking about how cute his daughter was and showing off the awards she had won since she was a child.

When talking about how his daughter was sometimes bullied by trolls, this man, who looked to be 1.9 meters tall and a head taller than the staff, tightly grasped the staff's sleeves and started to cry, his tears really streaming down his face.

Xiao Chuchu and her brother Xiao Long looked at each other and saw the despair in their own eyes. Here it comes again, her father's acting addiction has struck again, and now they just want to cover their faces and run away.

[Disillusioned. Can you imagine a 1.9-meter-tall man sobbing in front of you, acting like a tough guy shedding tears?]

[…I was momentarily shocked by Father Xiao.]

"Pfft." A light laugh was heard, and people looked towards the source of the sound. Lin Chaojin's eyebrows curved, and she met their gazes, raising the corners of her mouth, "I think Chuchu's father is quite cute."

"Sister," Lu Ge stared at her with his eyes wide open, a look of horror on his face. He didn't have any opinion on Father Xiao, it was purely because of his sister's peculiar taste.

[Ge Ye's expression reflects my current mood. The young lady is truly unique!]

[Strong, our eldest daughter is still the strongest.]

[Um, are I the only one who thinks Xiao Dad is cute as Missy does?]

[Congratulations to the one in front, you have the same vision as the young lady.]

"She's much cuter than you." Lin Chaojin glanced at him and said lightly.

Lu Ge suddenly felt like an arrow hit his knee.

"Haha, Sister Chaojin, I must tell my dad. He will be very proud." Xiao Chuchu covered her face and laughed. Don't say it, as a biological daughter, she sometimes can't stand her father.

"It seems that Miss Lin really has unique taste." Chi Huai's eyes were fixed on her face, and his tone was lazy, as if he was just teasing.

"Thank you for the compliment. My taste is indeed unique." Lin Chaojin looked back at him, raised the corners of her mouth, and spoke in a leisurely tone.

Xiao Chuchu's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Although my father can't dream of Sister Chaojin, my brother can." She patted her brother's shoulder.

"You still have evil intentions." After hearing this, Lu Ge looked at Xiao Chuchu unhappily, and Xiao Chuchu stuck out her tongue at him.

Xiao Long rubbed his forehead helplessly, "Sister, your brother is not old, he is not that eager to get married. Besides, although your brother is 1.9 meters tall, his aura is 1.6 meters, he can't hold a young lady." Xiao Long spread his hands and made self-deprecating jokes, which livened up the atmosphere.

"That's true," Xiao Chuchu glanced at her brother with a sincere look on her face, "You're really a pile of cow dung standing next to Sister Chao Jin."

"Pfft, hahaha." Everyone laughed. Xiao Long twitched his face and looked helpless. Sister, you can't treat your brother like that.

After laughing for a while, Director Zhang asked his assistant to play the next VCR. The woman who appeared was sitting in a living room decorated with gold and jade. She looked at the camera, tucking her hair behind her ear. The diamond ring on her ring finger caught the light. "Starting filming? Hey, move the camera back a little, don't make me look fat."

The woman had a beautiful face, but the upturned corners of her eyes revealed a sharpness.

"Hello everyone, I'm Sinuo's stepmother and Yan Ruo's mother. Just call me Mrs. Yan."

"Mrs. Yan, what do you think of the siblings Yan Ruo and Yan Sinuo?"

"Oh," Mrs. Yan covered her mouth and laughed, "Our Nuobao is a good child. I raised him since he was a child. He is very kind to me, obedient and good to me..."

Mrs. Yan praised Yan Sino repeatedly, and several staff members tried to interrupt her, "Then Miss Yan Ru..."

"Oh, you can see it on the show. Nobo is very well behaved. His sister is also a good sister. I hope she can take good care of her brother."

After the VCR finished playing, Yan Ruo turned her face to the side, and her expression was very ugly for a moment. After a while, she turned her head again and explained in a gentle voice, "My younger brother had a serious illness when he was young, so my mother was very worried about him."

Yan Sinuo was used to Yan's mother's protection and didn't think it was a big deal. But Yan Ruo knew that even if many netizens thought Yan's mother treated her step-son better and was a good stepmother, it would be hypocritical if she didn't care about her own daughter.

[When I first saw Mrs. Yan praising her step-son so much and barely talking about her daughter, I thought she was just putting on a show for the camera, but after this explanation, I understand.]

[Ah, I didn't expect Nobo to have a serious illness. I'm so heartbroken.]

[Seeing Yan's mother sitting in the living room decorating, I never thought that the Nobo family was also a wealthy second-generation family.]

Because of Yan Ru's words, Mrs. Yan's partiality did not have any impact.

Then, Director Zhang continued to play the last set of VCRs. The scene changed and a woman wearing a cheongsam was sitting in a small pavilion. Looking closely, she was indescribably gentle, but her gentleness was different from Yan Ruo's. She was gentle with the calmness of time. The subtitles marked her as Ms. Lu.

When Ms. Lu heard the staff member's words, she raised her lips and said in a voice that carried the warmth of Jiangnan rain. "Well, Jinjin has been very independent since she was a child. Although you may think she's difficult to get along with at first, she's actually a very gentle person at heart."

"As for Lu Ge," Ms. Lu rolled her eyes gracefully, "he's such a jerk that everyone hates. He was playing with cats and dogs at the age of three, and he was climbing up the roof of the house at the age of ten. Raising such a child has exhausted all my limited maternal love."

"When I was twelve, I met Jinjin. I was so happy. I finally had someone who could control him." Ms. Lu's tone was filled with relief as she spoke, her eyebrows curved as she stared at the camera. "So, son, focus on filming the variety show and take good care of your sister. If Jinjin doesn't behave, just hit him. Some people only realize how annoying they are after they've been beaten so many times."

After the video was played, everyone was stunned for a few seconds before coming back to their senses. Ms. Lu looked gentle and was very skilled at rolling her eyes. Even her own mother found her annoying. Everyone suddenly felt that Lin Chaojin's comment was so appropriate.

[Em... So our Ge Ye has been annoying since he was a kid, ahem, I'm really looking forward to seeing how Ge Ye will continue to cause death in the future.]

[From what Ms. Lu said, she seems to know the eldest daughter very well, and their relationship isn't as bad as rumored online.]

[Haha, I really want to see the eldest lady beat up her brother. Let's place a bet and see when the eldest lady will be unable to resist beating up her brother.]

[Upstairs, Lu Ge is already at your door. Be careful of assassination.]

After reading what his mother said, Lu Ge curled his lips. He had already predicted what his mother would say. He sat a little closer to Lin Chaojin and leaned his head. "I'm not as annoying as you say. You two are simply slandering me."

Lin Chaojin put her hand on his forehead and pushed him away, "It's important for people to know themselves."

"Tsk." Lu Ge sat back down, crossed his arms, not very convinced.

"Alright, I'm sure you all know that for this variety show, we'll give you a fixed amount of money each episode, and during the recording process, you'll be responsible for everything, including your three meals a day," Director Zhang said breathlessly. "Tonight, draw lots to decide which two groups will cook first."

"Cough cough." When Lu Ge heard this, he was drinking water and was choked.

Director Zhang glanced at him and said, "Lu Ge, what's going on?"

Lu Ge glanced at his sister obscurely and shook his head quickly, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Director Zhang, why don't we go first?" Yan Ruo raised her hand and smiled. "I've even passed the chef's certification exam before, so I'll show you some of my skills tonight."

"Sister Yan Ruo, you are so amazing." Xiao Chuchu's eyes lit up when she heard what she said, "Then the food you cook must be delicious."

"No, I only know a little bit," Yan Ruo waved her hand shyly and said modestly.

[Ah, Sister Yan Ruo actually passed the chef's exam. This woman is truly capable of both housework and cooking.]

[Wow, Nobo is so lucky! I wish I had such a gentle big sister.]

[It's quite rare. Not many young people these days can cook. Besides, Yan Ruo is a painter. I generally think artists are detached from the real world.]

[So our sister Yan Ruo is really talented and genuine.]

"Since Yan Ru's group has agreed, then we just need to draw another group." Director Zhang gestured to the staff to bring a small box with a few lottery tickets inside.

"I'll do it." When the staff first walked to Lin Chaojin's group, Lu Ge spoke first.
