Volume 1 Chapter 92 Mysterious Family and Friends Group
After hearing what Director Kong said, Zhu Sheng suddenly had a bad feeling.
Acquaintances? Relatives?
Is he from Gu Chiye's side or hers?
No, it's probably not good news either way.
When she came into this world, she had only a handful of people she could call friends, and most of the people she knew were the accomplices who killed the original owner.
The next step is expected to be more dangerous than safe.
Therefore, Zhu Sheng was fully prepared to welcome this so-called "relative and friend".
Not long after, three women walked in from outside the door.
Zhu Sheng recognized Zhu's mother at a glance, and his heart sank. It seemed that the person came with bad intentions.
Zhu's mother was all smiles, and when Zhu Sheng's eyes met, she ignored him and instead greeted Gu Chiye who was standing beside her warmly.
However, Gu Chiye did not respond, as if the person in front of him was not his mother-in-law, but a stranger he had never met before.
After all, the previous incident at the Zhu residence had left him with an extremely bad impression of this family. If it hadn't been in front of the camera, he would have kicked Zhu's mother out immediately.
Faced with her indifferent daughter and son-in-law, Zhu's mother had a good mental state. She still maintained her passionate look and took the lead.
There were two women following behind her.
A graceful and elegant man who seemed to be about the same age as Zhu's mother.
The other was much older, almost a grandmother.
Director Kong hurried over and respectfully welcomed the three members of the family and friends group in.
Afterwards, he passed the microphone to them and asked them to face the camera and introduce themselves one by one.
The most high-profile Zhu's mother introduced herself first. She cleared her throat and spoke with a beaming face.
"Hello, everyone in the live broadcast room. I am Wang Xuening, Zhu Sheng's mother. I have been married for 25 years. I am still happily in love with my husband. I believe I can provide some practical marriage advice to everyone."
Zhu's mother is indeed a frequent guest at wealthy banquets. Both her attitude and wording make people feel approachable and trustworthy.
However, few people present probably knew how many vicious tricks she had hidden.
Next came a gentle and elegant lady.
You can tell at first glance that he comes from a scholarly family, and his words and actions reveal an unusual temperament.
She took the microphone and spoke slowly in a voice as gentle as water.
"Hello everyone, I am Lin Muyun's mother, Qin Xin, and I am also the elder who has watched Gu Chiye grow up since he was a child.
This time I came here to see if I could do something to help these beloved children and help them through this difficult moment of decision-making."
While speaking, Mother Lin looked at Lin Muyun and Gu Chiye tenderly, as if telling them with her eyes that as long as she was around, nothing would be difficult.
Lin Muyun couldn't help but call out "Mother", his eyes filled with endless grievances.
Gu Chiye seemed to respect Lin's mother very much. He called her "Aunt Qin" seriously, then stood up and wanted to invite her to sit over.
The last woman who got the microphone was obviously much more miserable than the first two wealthy wives.
Judging from her age, she is obviously a grandmother.
He has silver hair, wrinkled face, and wears a simple shirt and trousers, but he looks energetic and in good health.
She took the microphone and spoke kindly.
"Hello everyone, I'm from the Sunflower Nursery, and to be exact, I'm not anyone's mother, nor am I anyone's wife.
I came here just to see my beloved Bai Xuan. You can just call me Aunt Lu."
Bai Xuan was delighted.
She trotted over, threw herself into Aunt Lu's arms, and said excitedly, "Aunt Lu, I missed you so much. I feel relieved to see that you are still so energetic."
Aunt Lu lovingly stroked Bai Xuan's back and said with a smile, "Bai Xuan, you too, are still as pretty as ever."
Director Kong arranged the guests and relatives and friends at a large round table, and then announced the rules of this session.
Next, each couple and their relatives and friends will tell the reason for the divorce.
When one couple is making their statement, two other couples and relatives and friends will also listen and can participate in the mediation, offer suggestions, and help others sort out their own marriage problems.
The rules of this segment were a first for this season, and they immediately caused an uproar in the live studio once they were announced.
[If I remember correctly, in previous years, each couple would chat behind closed doors with a relative or friend. This is the first time that everyone has gathered together to chat. I think Director Kong is here to stir up trouble this time.]
[Who made the several couples in this season have so many connections? Apart from other things, it is totally fine for Lin Muyun's mother to be a member of the general manager's family and friends group. In addition, Zhu Sheng's mother is probably in the same circle as the Lin family. ]
[Speaking of which, Aunt Lu said she was from a nursery, so what is her relationship with Bai Xuan? ]
[An old fan of Mrs. Bai Xuan came uninvited. If I guessed correctly, this Aunt Lu should be the angel sister who often appeared in the extras of Bai Xuan's works. It is said that it was she who took Bai Xuan, who was abandoned on the street, to the nursery. ]
[Oh my god, Bai Xuan looks so sunny and cheerful, but I didn't expect that she was actually an orphan. Yin Qianmu looks even more hateful at this glance. Bai Xuan finally has her own family, but she met such a wicked husband. It's really too tragic! ]
[No one cares about Zhu Sheng's mother? I remember there was a program where Zhu Sheng talked about her life experience. She seemed to be an illegitimate daughter and had been living in the slums before being brought back to the Zhu family. Does that mean the woman in front of me is not her biological mother?]
After the program crew served a bunch of fruits and snacks, the interview with family and friends officially began.
The first couple to be told are Gu Chiye and Zhu Sheng, who stole the spotlight in the previous segment.
First, the couple stated their reasons for divorce.
Zhu Sheng answered first: "We were young and immature, and got married too hastily. After marriage, we found that we were not suitable for each other and did not develop any feelings. Now we have stopped the damage in time, which is good for both parties."
She didn't look sad at all when she said this, which surprised Zhu's mother who was sitting next to her.
I thought that even if Zhu Sheng took the initiative to file for divorce, it was probably just out of anger for a moment.
In addition, whether it was at the Zhu family mansion or at the fashion dinner, Zhu Sheng and Gu Chiye had always cooperated seamlessly.
I thought this damn girl had given up the idea of divorce a long time ago, but now it seems she is surprisingly determined.
This was a great convenience for her, after all, one of the reasons why Zhu's mother came here was to get the two of them divorced.
As for the other purpose, it was of course to throw dirty water on Zhu Sheng and Gu Chiye and let the public know how terrible their marriage was.
As for mediating a divorce, she didn't have the time for that.
The more thoroughly these two are untied, the better it will be for all parties.
Zhu's father had already informed Zhu's mother of the transaction with Mr. Yin one by one, and her coming to this show was just a prelude.
Now that we are here, we must fulfill our mission.
Even if it was not for the benefit of the Yin family, Zhu's mother also wanted to teach the couple a lesson for the humiliation they suffered at the Zhu family's New Year's Eve banquet some time ago.
Logically, it should be Gu Chiye's turn to explain the reasons for the divorce.
Zhu's mother thought that Gu Chiye would definitely scold Zhu Sheng severely.
After all, this illegitimate daughter made quite a fool of herself in those years.
The things she did were widely circulated as jokes among the public and wealthy circles.
Even Zhu's mother would sometimes feel embarrassed when she heard it, but thinking that she was not her biological daughter anyway, she would not bother to care. When she was in the mood, she would even watch the joke with a few rich wives.
But Gu Chiye's expression was calm and he just spoke softly.
"In this marriage, all the faults are on my side. I have no right to say whether to divorce or not. Everything is decided by Zhu Sheng."
