For Qin Yuanyao, an obscure actress with few notable works, signing with Zonghai Entertainment is incredibly lucky and promises a bright future.

"Of course! This is Zonghai Entertainment! If I can really sign them, I'll be incredibly lucky." Qin Yuanyao was both surprised and delighted, but couldn't help worrying, "But would Zonghai Entertainment even consider a small-time actress like me?"

"Did you think I called you without asking the company's opinion?" Ye Rui chuckled. "The company is quite interested; the higher-ups are still reviewing your previous works. If you're interested too, they should be able to talk to you soon."

"Great! I'd really like to join Zonghai Entertainment." Qin Yuanyao beamed.

...

That evening, the edited version of the first episode of the first season of "Our Little Family of Three" was officially released online.

Countless netizens waited on the Lizi app, and as soon as the first episode was released, the barrage of comments flooded their faces.

It's here! It's finally here!

[Finally, I can enjoy my Cheese Baby, my Hao Hao Baby, my Cong Cong Baby, my Ah Xuan Baby, and my Ling Ling Baby all again!]

[Director Jiang kept the first episode hidden for so long, was he waiting for Qin Yuanyao's reputation to turn around?]

[Hey, looks like the ladies before you all came here after finishing their gossip!]

Yes, everyone here has already eaten before coming here.

After following the drama of the past few days, Qin Yuanyao seems much more pleasing to the eye now. Perhaps we'll discover something different in the show.

The first episode of the first season achieved a viewership rating of over 1 upon its release and continues to rise steadily. On the Lizi app, the popularity index surpassed 10,000 as the first episode progressed.

These two successful start made Director Jiang extremely happy.

However, at the same time, on a tourist island overseas.

With nothing else to do, Grandma Chi turned on the TV and glanced at it for a while.

That one glance was enough to startle her.

She quickly called over Grandpa Chi.

Grandpa Chi was sitting under the eaves of his recliner reading the newspaper when he heard Grandma Chi calling him in a loud voice. As he went over, he grumbled, "What's wrong? Why are you calling so urgently? The sky isn't falling down."

Grandma Chi grabbed her husband's arm and pointed at the television, urging him to look. "Old man, look! Isn't that our grandson on TV?"

Old Master Chi took a closer look.

No, the person on TV is their grandson, Chi Baiyi.

Grandpa Chi pursed his lips dismissively, "This isn't the first time our grandson has been on TV, what's there to be surprised about!"

“But this isn’t a financial channel, it’s an entertainment channel! And this little kid is calling him ‘Dad,’” Grandma Chi explained hurriedly.

Grandpa Chi was stunned.

The TV was showing Chi Nao hugging Qin Yuanyao's leg and calling her "Mom," and giving Qin Yuanyao a diamond-encrusted gold necklace in Chi Baiyi's name.

Grandpa Chi and Grandma Chi stared at the TV at the same time, their eyes wide open.

When will their grandson get married?

When did you have such a big baby?!

Why did they, as his grandparents, know nothing?

"Old man, am I seeing things? I'm not mistaken, am I?" Old Mrs. Chi pushed Old Mr. Chi incredulously.

Grandpa Chi puffed out his cheeks angrily, "Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you, you're not seeing things."

"I don't have Alzheimer's, and I'm not hallucinating, am I?" Grandma Chi still pushed Grandpa Chi incredulously.

Grandpa Chi's face was still puffed up with anger. "I don't have Alzheimer's disease, and I'm not hallucinating."

Grandpa Chi gave a heavy snort. "That brat Bai Yi didn't tell us anything, fine. But why didn't Hongzhou and Tang Jin tell us? We came to this island to retire, not to die. Why didn't they tell us that Bai Yi got married and had a baby? This child looks at least four or five years old, so Bai Yi must have gotten married at least six years ago! Hongzhou and Tang Jin actually kept it from us for six years!"

Grandpa Chi grew angrier and angrier as he spoke. "No, I'm going to call Hongzhou and Tang Jin and ask them why they didn't tell us about such a big thing!"

Grandma Chi looked indignant and agreed with Grandpa Chi's suggestion to find their son and daughter-in-law and get to the bottom of things.

When Grandpa Chi made an overseas call to Chi Hongzhou and Tang Jinshi, who were on vacation abroad, it was early morning for them, and they had just gotten up.

Hearing Old Master Chi's harsh questioning, Chi Hongzhou was in a daze for a while, thinking that Old Master Chi was either suffering from dementia or had a dream and mistook it for reality.

It wasn't until Grandma Chi asked them to open the domestic TV station and take a look that Chi Hongzhou and Tang Jin realized what had happened.

On the Lizi app, Chi Nao and Chi Baiyi were at an impasse, with Chi Nao wanting to sleep with Qin Yuanyao.

Chi Hongzhou and Tang Jin were both dumbfounded.

"Is this...our son?" Tang Jin asked Chi Hongzhou, pointing at Chi Baiyi in the video. "Could it just be someone who looks a lot like our son?"

As soon as Tang Jin finished speaking, these comments floated across the top of the screen.

[Hahahaha, Chi Baiyi has absolutely no way to deal with his daughter!]

[So Chi Baiyi was disliked by his daughter so early on.]

Tang Jin and Chi Hongzhou both fell silent.

Is this really their son, Chi Baiyi?

They had only been living abroad for half a year, and when did Chi Baiyi suddenly have such a big daughter?! And she's even forming a "temporary family" with a female celebrity on a variety show—this is completely not something their son would do!

Chi Hongzhou was so angry that his face turned pale. "When did he have such a big daughter?! How many things has he been hiding from us?! The moment we're not in the country, he starts to act like he has no heir at all, doesn't he?!"

Chi Hongzhou immediately jumped out of bed in anger. "Back to China! We're going back to China right now!"

...

Unaware that a storm was about to break, Chi Baiyi was at home learning to cook from a chef.

He made a plate of stir-fried shredded carrots and meat for Chi Nia to taste.

Chi Nai looked at the dry carrot shreds and the slightly burnt meat shreds, wrinkled her little nose in disgust, and asked, "Dad, have you tried them yourself?"

Chi Baiyi paused for a moment, then said, "Not yet."

"You haven't even tried it yourself, why are you making me try it? What if it tastes really, really bad?"

Chi Baiyi "..."

There's really no need to use "it's really hard to eat" three times in a row.

This was the fourth dish he had tried cooking. He felt that, judging from its appearance, this dish was quite successful, and he wanted to show it off to his daughter so that she would be the first to taste a dish he had made himself.

Did he ultimately make a mistake in paying for it?

"Dad, you try it first. If it's good, I'll eat it. Even though I'm fair-skinned, I'm not a guinea pig." Chi Nao pouted unhappily.
