Although it was Ye Zhizhou's first time participating in an interview program, she already had acting experience, so she wasn't nervous at all. Plus, with the other girls there, she felt even more natural.
He Guinian was surprisingly easygoing. "Can I call you Zhouzhou? You seem quite young, just started university?"
Ye Zhizhou nodded. This was probably the only good thing about her coming into this world—she was young.
"Yes, he's a freshman at Ning University. He specifically asked the principal for leave to come and record the program."
He Guinian continued, "I heard that you weren't recognized by your biological father until your senior year of high school, which means you and your brother didn't actually spend much time together. What's your relationship like? Do you ever feel like strangers to each other?"
Ye Zhizhou sighed inwardly, "As expected of a top-notch host, she first showed concern and warmth before getting to the point."
"I guess it's because blood is thicker than water. My relationship with my brother is pretty good. My dad and my brother are both very good to me, especially my brother. He's always worried that someone at school might bully me."
These were her true feelings. In her heart, Ye Qian was a very qualified older brother. Even though he liked to wear pink clothes, it didn't affect his tall and noble image in her heart.
A searching look appeared in He Guinian's eyes, but it only lasted for a moment.
Ye Zhizhou thought he had misread it and didn't take it to heart.
"So how do you feel about being the daughter of the richest man? It feels like suddenly becoming rich. Most people would be very excited, right?"
He Guinian returned to the main point.
Ye Zhizhou thought for a moment and then gave his answer.
"Actually, I don't care much about the title of 'daughter of the richest man.' What I cherish more is my father and my grandmother who adopted me. They are my family. If I have to show off anything, it's my hard work."
The photographer unconsciously moved the camera towards Ye Zhizhou, giving her plenty of screen time.
Ye Zhizhou's answer was excellent, conveying positive energy and telling everyone that she doesn't like flaunting her wealth.
The director watched it with great interest and was very satisfied with this segment.
He Guinian didn't give Ye Zhizhou a chance to catch his breath before throwing out another question, which silenced the entire room.
"But your mother and father did not receive the support of the Dong family back then. Later, your mother died in childbirth because of your biological grandmother. Don't you hate your father?"
Ye Zhizhou frowned. Not many people knew about this. Why did He Guinian know? Did he have a grudge against his father?
Despite being the richest man in China now, Ye Huaibin has made many enemies over the years. Many people want to bring down the Ye Group behind the scenes, but unfortunately, Ye Huaibin is shrewd and they have no chance to succeed.
Perhaps he's trying to find an opportunity through her?
She stared into He Guinian's eyes for a while, but He Guinian still had a smile on his face, and his expression did not change.
Ye Zhizhou frowned slightly, interlaced his fingers and pondered for a moment before answering.
“My mother’s death wasn’t caused by my father, but he felt guilty about it. He also blamed himself for the fact that I was abducted when I was little. I don’t think these things were his fault; many things are beyond our control. Doesn’t the fact that my father hasn’t remarried all these years prove how much he loved my mother?”
She didn't want to delve into the affairs of the previous generation, nor would she argue with He Guinian on the show, but she had to help her father explain things clearly, otherwise everyone would think Ye Huaibin was a heartless man.
In reality, Ye Huaibin only ever had Dong Xinqi in his heart. As for Shu Yin, she was just a female companion he had no choice but to find in the business world.
Ye Zhizhou quickly noticed a slight fluctuation in He Guinian's eyes. She was certain that He Guinian knew her parents, otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing.
"I see. I was just curious whether your family background would cause you psychological trauma. It seems that you haven't been affected and are behaving very well."
He Guinian seemed to know it was time to back down, and his tone suddenly softened.
Ye Zhizhou didn't believe his story at all, but she was too embarrassed to say anything while recording the show, so she could only go along with what he said.
"It's alright, as long as Teacher He doesn't misunderstand my dad's character."
He Guinian's eyes flickered slightly, understanding Ye Zhizhou's implication, and then he smiled and said, "It's time to make a video call."
The sound of a WeChat video call started, and it was disconnected 30 seconds later.
The room fell silent again. He Guinian was a top-notch host, and only a movie star dared to hang up on him.
Ye Zhizhou wasn't surprised by this. Although Ye Qian usually answered her calls anytime, it didn't mean he did that to everyone. Besides, there were times when he was busy, so it was normal for him not to answer the phone.
He Guinian did not give up and continued to call until Ye Qian finally answered on the third try.
"Teacher He, I'm sorry, I was busy just now. May I ask what you need me for?"
As soon as the video call connected, Ye Qian's handsome face appeared on the screen. He was wearing a bright pink workwear jacket over a white t-shirt, a very casual outfit.
Ye Zhizhou pursed his lips; that damned pink color had finally arrived.
If it weren't for her brother's good looks, this pink would be comparable to the most disastrous Barbie pink in the lipstick world.
Apart from her, the other girls, including Xiao Bei, were all craning their necks to look at the big screen, wishing the camera could poke into their faces so Ye Qian could see them.
Ye Zhizhou couldn't quite understand. Was pink the only color that represented justice? She couldn't help but miss Qin Xuan's black, white, and gray tones.
"Here's the thing, we're recording a show called 'Celebrity's Sister,' and your sister Ye Zhizhou is participating. Would you like to say a few words to her?"
He Guinian spoke to Ye Qian with a normal expression, showing no sign that he had asked such a sharp question earlier.
"My sister? Teacher He, could you please turn the camera around?"
Ye Qian was extremely excited that Ye Zhizhou was going to participate in a variety show. It was his little cutie's first time appearing on a variety show, and he couldn't let her down!
After He Guinian turned the camera around, Ye Zhizhou saw that her brother had even tidied his bangs slightly, showing a very meticulous attitude.
"Brother..." she called out, then suddenly didn't know what to say next.
However, Ye Qian did not disappoint her. "Zhouzhou, why didn't you tell me you were going to participate in the show? If I had known, I would have gone with you and brought you more popularity."
The girls sitting behind Ye Zhizhou were incredibly envious. Where could they find such an amazing older brother? Not only was he a movie star, but he was also willing to actively help his sister gain popularity.
Huang Wan and Hu Lin are alright, but Xiao Bei's lemony scent is practically overflowing the screen.
Ye Zhizhou smiled brightly, "It's okay, bro. Aren't you filming today?"
The siblings' conversation suggests that they get along very well in their daily lives, which explains their naturalness on the show.
