Chapter 2 Invited to participate in a variety show
Since the previous season of "Brothers and Sisters" had good ratings, the second season was soon launched.
This is a pastoral variety show that will be broadcast live throughout. The program team does not provide living expenses, and the guests are required to complete their trip to the countryside by working in exchange for food.
There are three groups of guests participating in the recording of the program. In addition to Lu Jinsen and Meng Chuyuan, there are also national goddess Liao Jiake and her twin sister Liao Jiayan, and the new popular actor Qi Zhen and his sister Qi Yan.
The day before filming began, the production team officially announced the guest list on Weibo. Lu Jinsen and Meng Chuyuan were an unusual uncle-sister-in-law pair. Then, a marketing account broke the news: a young woman named M was tragically abandoned by her wealthy husband on her wedding night, sparking a heated discussion online:
[Wow! Uncle and sister-in-law team up, they're not the usual 666]
[Am I seeing this right? An uncle-sister-in-law combination?]
"This group is so perfunctory! Isn't this a show about brothers and sisters working together? And they're bringing their sister-in-law along?"
Doesn't Lu Jinsen have a big brother? Rumors a while ago also said that it was his big brother who was participating. Why is it replaced now?
Is the bar for variety shows that low now? Anyone can be invited.
[I have a bold guess. Could the woman surnamed M be Lu Jinsen's sister-in-law?]
[I think the abandoned wife of a wealthy family is most likely her. Shouldn't a newlywed go on a honeymoon with her husband? Instead, she appeared on a variety show with her brother-in-law. Think about it carefully.]
…
The next morning, the guests got up and prepared to go to the recording location. However, all the other guests including Lu Jinsen arrived, but Meng Chuyuan was missing.
The director asked, "Lu Jinsen, where is your sister-in-law?"
Lu Jinsen replied with a cold face: "I don't know."
That day, the agent called Meng Chuyuan on speakerphone. Lu Jinsen was present at the time and was quite surprised to hear that she agreed.
The program schedule was coordinated by his agent and Meng Chuyuan, but Lu Jinsen had no contact with her at all.
The person who was actually most anxious at this time because he couldn't see Meng Chuyuan was Lu Jinsen, because the two of them were not familiar with each other and it was possible that he was stood up.
The director didn't want to delay the live broadcast and was very anxious: "Don't know? How could you not know? Quickly call your sister-in-law and ask her where she is?"
Under the director's gaze, Lu Jinsen had to reluctantly take out his mobile phone. Just at this moment, Meng Chuyuan appeared from behind them.
"Excuse me, everyone. I'm late."
Everyone glanced over at Meng Chuyuan upon hearing the noise. She was dressed like a fairy, as if she had stepped out of a painting. For a moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on her, including Lu Jinsen...
Lu Jinsen stood there and waited for everyone to get on the bus. He came to his senses, frowned, crossed his arms, and his eyes fell on Meng Chuyuan, watching her walking towards him with her suitcase as if nothing had happened.
When Meng Chuyuan walked up to him, Lu Jinsen snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Can you have some sense of time?"
"Why do I have no sense of time?" Meng Chuyuan glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's exactly nine o'clock."
Lu Jinsen said disdainfully: "Should I still thank you?"
Meng Chuyuan replied seriously, "You're welcome."
"..." He didn't even dare to step on the spot, how dare this woman!
Originally, Lu Jinsen wanted to leave a good impression when meeting other guests for the first time, but now, Meng Chuyuan has ruined everything.
An hour later, the bus arrived at its destination.
The live broadcast was on the bus's way into the village, using aerial photography as the opening scene.
The moment the camera captured the car door opening, the first person to appear in the live broadcast room was Liao Jiake. She was wearing a white shirt and light blue jeans. She walked in with a smile on her face. The dimples on both sides of her cheeks were beautiful and charming.
Her younger sister Liao Jiayan wore a lavender jacket with a white vest underneath, paired with a black skirt and sneakers. She looked young and energetic, and appeared obediently behind her sister.
Seeing two beauties appear at the same time, the live broadcast room was filled with comments:
【Finally, we've waited until the second season of Brothers and Sisters Together! 】
[If I remember correctly, this was Coco's first variety show after her marriage. The production team won big this time!]
[Coco is getting better and better after marriage. This is what marrying for love should be like]
[These twins look so much alike, I can't even tell which is the older sister!]
[The one wearing the white shirt is the elder sister. As her name suggests, she is gentle and lovely. Jiayan is also very beautiful, but I like Coco more because she has a really sweet smile.]
Among the six guests in this variety show, Liao Jiake is the most popular.
Liao Jiake, who debuted as a child star, has never left the audience's sight. She has worked with countless top male stars and is a career model praised by everyone in the circle. What is even more admirable is that she announced her marriage when her career was on the rise.
Liao Jiake’s husband is the well-known movie star Xu Zeyi. He comes from a wealthy family and has assets worth over 100 million yuan. The two fell in love on the set. After their relationship was exposed, a large number of CP fans came to send their blessings. The golden boy and jade girl are really enviable.
After getting married, Liao Jiake gradually faded out of the entertainment industry, focusing on her family. She no longer took on new dramas and even rarely appeared in public. I didn't expect to see her on the show "Together" this time.
[Thanks to the program team for inviting such a beautiful lady to feast my eyes]
【Thanks +10086】
[It's been so long since the show started, why haven't we seen Lu Jinsen and his sister-in-law yet? ]
[It’s better not to show up, I don’t want to see him]
…
At this time, Lu Jinsen and Meng Chuyuan were still in the car.
After the two got on the bus, they did not sit together. There was an aisle between them and they did not communicate at all along the way.
After watching everyone get off the bus, Lu Jinsen turned his head to look at Meng Chuyuan and found that she had her eyes closed and had Bluetooth headphones in her ears.
Lu Jinsen stood up, his tall shadow blocking half of the light for her. He lowered his eyes and said coldly, "Hey, get off the car."
Meng Chuyuan frowned, slowly opened his eyes, and unexpectedly met Lu Jinsen's gaze.
Before getting up, Meng Chuyuan looked up at him and kindly reminded him: "I advise you to be nicer to me, brother."
Lu Jinsen said disdainfully, "Don't take advantage of me."
"Are you sure you want to record the show with me with this attitude later?"
Meng Chuyuan took off his Bluetooth headset and said slowly, "Think carefully now. You are a highly-watched public figure. I'm just an amateur, so I won't play any of your character building tricks."
She felt that Lu Jinsen still had some idol baggage, otherwise he wouldn't have waited for her after everyone got off the car.
Meng Chuyuan was the last one to appear. The first thing that caught the camera was her slender legs. The camera moved from bottom to top and finally captured her true face.
She was wearing a white French retro long dress, the fitted size perfectly showing off her slender figure. Her thick brown curly hair was draped over her right shoulder, and she wore a black beret on her head. Her clavicle chain was faintly gleaming in the sunlight.
【The last group is out!!!】
[Fuck! Is Lu Jinsen's sister-in-law this young?]
[u1s1, Lu Jinsen’s sister-in-law is so beautiful, I love her]
What’s the point of looking good? It’s just a vase.
How can I look good? I don’t know how much powder she put on her face, it looks so fake.
[Are those who say she's pretty blind? This woman is no match for my Coco.]
[Don't compare an ordinary person with a celebrity, they are not even on the same level, okay?]
…
Meng Chuyuan was not aware of the situation in the live broadcast room, and she never imagined that she would become a hot topic just by appearing in the shot.
With the appearance of Meng Chuyuan, netizens have started a chain reaction, curious about what kind of man she married.
The live broadcast is still in full swing...
Three groups of guests draw blind boxes prepared by the program team, which will determine their next residence.
In order to ensure that every group has the opportunity to choose, the program team prepared five blind boxes.
Everyone tacitly followed the order of getting off the bus and drew the tickets in turn. The first group sent Qi Yan to choose a blind box. She chose the box closest to her, then opened the box, took out the card inside, and carefully opened it to take a look.
Qi Zhen walked over from the side, and the two stood side by side. Qi Zhen stretched out his arm and placed his hand above his sister's head to shade her from the sun. He lowered his head and asked gently, "Sister, what did we draw?"
Qi Yan, who already knew the answer, generously unfolded the card for him to see.
Qi Zhen leaned over to take a look, his eyes lit up and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Sister, you are amazing."
Their group drew a two-bedroom, one-living-room flat-roofed house. They were very satisfied with the house. They looked at each other and clapped their hands in tacit understanding.
Qi Zhenren is warm-hearted and considerate, even shielding his sister from the sun. I want a brother as thoughtful as him.
After watching Qi Zhen's performance, I turned around and slapped the younger brother behind me. They're all younger brothers, but the difference is so huge.
[He is indeed someone else’s younger brother]
I really like the atmosphere of this group. The siblings have a good relationship and get along very well.
The second group was chosen by Liao Jiake. The second box she chose contained the only courtyard in the village.
Liao Jiake has always been lucky. Most of the stars who have worked with her have become famous, including her husband Xu Zeyi. It was because of their love work that he became famous, became a first-line star, and won the Best Actor award.
In previous interviews, Xu Zeyi always said that Liao Jiake was his lucky goddess. Without Liao Jiake, there would be no Xu Zeyi today.
As expected, she drew a luxurious courtyard house on her first try, which attracted envious glances from other guests.
[Help! I always thought that the goddess of luck was a character created by the team for Liao Jiake. I didn’t believe it before, but now I do.]
What should my sister buy in the next lottery?
[Perhaps the only bad luck this sister has is recording a program with Lu Jinsen’s group.]
[Goddess of Luck, please bless me]
[Cocoa guarantees I won’t fail the exam]
Finally, the pressure fell on the third group. Lu Jinsen took the initiative to step forward and draw, directly choosing the first one and checking the card information.
[What the hell? My network is down?!?!]
【Why is the live broadcast screen not moving? 】
[I think I’m stuck here too…]
What did Lu Jinsen draw? If anyone knows, please share in the comments.
