She was so unwilling to accept it. Why wasn’t she good enough? She could learn and change for Lu Nanchen.
Lost in the suffocating atmosphere of unrequited love for a long time, Shen Ruchu’s nails were nearly digging into the flesh of her palm.
All the pain was hers, but Yu Ting seemed very happy, even happier after capturing Shen Ruchu’s behavior in the corner of her eye.
Indeed, happiness built on the pain of others.
When Zhou Guorui returned, the two were still stuck in this stiff silence.
It wasn’t until the fourth mentor arrived five or six minutes later that the stalemate was broken. The reactions of the crew at the door were much more enthusiastic than when Shen Ruchu arrived, with most of them very excited.
Before Yu Ting had a chance to look up from her phone to the entrance, she felt her chair shake as someone sat down forcefully next to her.
Zhou Chengyan didn’t bother to greet the show staff and directly found a seat next to Yu Ting to sit.
Just as Yu Ting was a bit shell-shocked, the older Zhou was the first to react, "Chengcheng, what are you doing here?"
"Here as a mentor."
Zhou Chengyan replied casually, showing no signs of emotion, as if being part of a variety show was a trifling matter to him.
On the other hand, after the crew saw Zhou Chengyan, a few people greeted him. He brushed them off carelessly, showing no interest in them. His eyes landed on the surprised Yu Ting, "Well? So surprised that you’re speechless?"
"Why are you here?" Yu Ting, who had come back to her senses, asked unconsciously, leaning towards Zhou Guorui. She was very cautious; she had heard something when the show crew came to greet him.
He was called Zhou Chengyan.
Zhou Chengyan, straight to the point, "I pulled some strings."
Yu Ting: ?
Zhou Guorui: ...
"I came to hang out for a few days." Zhou Chengyan continued, his eyes landing on Yu Ting, curious about her reaction.
What came, however, was the snort from Zhou Guorui, "You rascal, going to run off and leave your own company?"
"I’ve seen online that you’ve been doing great on this show, quite a sharp tongue."
Ignoring Zhou Guorui, Zhou Chengyan complemented her on a clip from the show that hadn’t aired.
"Your family business is almost a hundred years old, don’t let it go bankrupt on your watch."
"Are you not speaking because you have vocal cord issues?"
"The family business is the blood and sweat of our ancestors."
...
Zhou Chengyan said a few sentences to Yu Ting, none of which were answered. In contrast, Zhou Guorui anxiously said one thing after another.
Zhou Chengyan: ...
"If you have the ability, have another son. Let him help you manage the family business, I as your nephew will raise him."
Zhou Guorui: !
The offensive language he wanted to use was held back due to many people being present, and his face turned embarrassingly red.
Yu Ting: ...
Turns out they’re grandfather and grandson.
Yu Ting, who finally understood the relationship between the two, still chose not to bother with Zhou Chengyan, who was evidently troublesome, and got up to find another place to sit.
Slowly, a large wave of audience members flooded into the studio, and it was soon time to record the show.
Due to the change of mentors, the male host took to the stage first. After delivering a very brief opening speech, he simply mentioned the reason for the change of mentors, then introduced the two new mentors.
