Chapter 283: You and I

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A hint of sadness flashed across Lu Qingye’s eyes, as if he did not understand what Meng Chuyuan meant.

Hearing Meng Chuyuan’s cold voice, he frowned and asked cautiously, “What’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood?”

Perhaps because he knew her too well, any change in Meng Chuyuan’s emotions could easily activate his senses.

Could it be that his mother had just said something unpleasant to her?

Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows slightly and pretended to be relaxed. “I’m alright.’

The call with Lin Youjuan just now was clearly a normal conversation, but Meng Chuyuan felt inexplicably emotional when she heard it, making her feel both sad and happy.

She wanted to hear Lu Qingye’s voice to calm herself down.

Lu Qingye did not take the initiative to say that he had asked his mother to prepare breakfast for her today. This made Meng Chuyuan not know how to thank him.

Facing Meng Chuyuan’s low spirits, Lu Qingye was silent for a while before asking, “Have you eaten breakfast?”

He was watching the live-stream. The lunch boxes beside Meng Chuyuan did not look like they had been touched.

“Not yet.”

“Why haven’t you eaten? Is the food not to your liking?”

“No.” Meng Chuyuan shook her head and replied softly, “I’ll eat in a while.”

Lu Qingye asked, “When will that be?”

Now.” Under Lu Qingye’s supervision, Meng Chuyuan remained on the call with him as she ate.

[Sister Meng has suddenly become so obedient. Hahaha, I’m not used to it.]

[That call just now was from her mom. I’m curious about who’s on the phone with Sister Meng now. It can’t be her husband, right? I think we can basically eliminate this man.]

[+1, I don’t think it’s her husband either. From what Sister Meng said just now, it sounds like it’s from her family.]

Coincidentally, Lu Qingye’s gaze landed on the iPad. He noticed the comments in the live-stream.

‘ Why couldn’t it possibly be him?

What was worse was that they even used the word “eliminate”.

He had never appeared on this variety show before, so he didn’t understand where these people’s prejudice came from.

Lu Qingye stared at a few comments and read through them. Suddenly, all his attention was on the comments section.

[With his brother as a form of comparison, I feel that Lu Jinsen has become much more pleasing to the eye.]

[Lu Jinsen’s performance in the previous episode was actually not bad. He helped Sister Meng a lot. With such a younger brother, his eldest brother shouldn’t be that bad, right?]

[I feel that Young Master has quite a strong backing. After debuting for so many years, no media has dared to dig up his family background.]

[If you want to blame someone, blame this surname Lu. It’s common everywhere. Haha, I reckon you won’t be able to find anything about his family even if you want to.]

Their family’s situation, in the face of the media, actually could no longer be considered a mystery.

Lu Quanyu had been famous for a long time. It was rumored that he had two sons and a daughter. However, in order to give his children a comfortable living environment, he did not publicize their information.

Later on, Lu Qingye joined the company. Under his leadership, the Lu Corporation reached a record high. As a newbie in the company, he stood out and it would definitely attract the attention of the outside world and the media.

As a result, his father-son relationship with Lu Quanyu was gradually exposed.

Lu Jinsen signed with an entertainment company when he was 14 years old. He had been in the entertainment industry alone for eight years. Although he always wore branded clothes, he had never relied on his family’s influence or boasted about anything to others.

Lu Qianling was young and her social circle was small. She was still a student and did not have to network with people who had stepped into society for the time being. Her pocket money was still passable…

In the eyes of outsiders, they were active in their respective fields. They seemed to be unrelated, but they were actually family.

Meng Chuyuan was 70% full. She put her things away and put them back into the bag. She looked at her phone and saw that it was still on call, but she could not hear Lu Qingye’s voice.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you still there?”

Hearing Meng Chuyuan’s voice coming from the two devices, Lu Qingye quickly came back to his senses. “Yes, I’m still here.”

Realizing that Lu Qingye was distracted even when he was on the phone with her, Meng Chuyuan couldn’t help but frown and ask curiously, “You’re not still busy, are you?”

Lu Qingye denied, “No.”

“Then what were you doing just now?” “I was watching your live-stream.”

“…” After Meng Chuyuan heard this, not only was she speechless, but she also revealed a disdainful expression.

Knowing that Lu Qingye needed to rest, Meng Chuyuan did not disturb him too much. Soon, she ended the call and told him to rest early.

At this moment, the director’s production team had already finished their work. They started to gather all the guests over to receive missions from him.

The director: “I’ll first distribute the previous season’s labor remuneration to everyone. These will be the starting funds for this episode of the variety show. Last time, Team One was the first to complete the card collection mission, so we’ll give each member of the winning team an additional 50 yuan in cash. Now, please come up and collect the funds one by one.”

The starting salary was 420 yuan. Meng Chuyuan, Lu Jinsen, Qi Yan, and Liao

Jiayan could get 470 yuan. The remaining four guests’ quota would not change.

The production team handed the initial funds to the guests and announced their mission process:

“In this episode, you will still be divided into two large groups. Each group will have four people. Everyone can either form their own groups or continue with the previous episode’s groupings. Later, we will need everyone to use the funds in your hands to buy equipment at the camping shop. The production team will not be responsible for any instances in which there are insufficient funds or over-expenditures.”

After the director read out the rules on the booklet, he looked up at the eight guests. “Now, please hand over all electronic equipment and discuss your groupings. After the groupings have been decided, we will head out to buy the camping equipment.”

Xu Huaning said, “Director, y’all have been busy the entire morning. So these tents weren’t built for us?”

Xu Huaning was the first to arrive. She basically observed the staff build up the surrounding tents one by one from scratch. Unexpectedly, after the announcement of the programme, she realized that things were different from what she had imagined.

When the director heard her words, his lips curled into a smile as he replied,

“This is the production team’s tent. We have to stay here too tonight, okay?”

[Save me, why is Xu Huanning so cute?]

[That’s true, but this is also what I wanted to ask!! Thank you, Sister Huanning, for asking on my behalf.]

[I saw helplessness on Director Luo’s face. Hahaha.]

[What bad intentions can our Huanning have? / Dog head emoji, she might be thinking: The staff has set up so many tents, why can’t they set up one more for her?]

[So they were going to receive labor remuneration for their work last time. I thought the production team was just letting the guests experience life.]

The guests handed their phones to the staff and everyone tacitly gathered together to discuss their team groupings.

While the others looked at each other, Lu Jinsen looked at Meng Chuyuan and said without hesitation, “I’ll follow you..”
