The two of them changed into their slippers and went to the living room. Liao Jiayan’s expression was extremely sullen. She ignored her sister’s greetings. Only her boyfriend responded politely.
Liao Jiake glanced at the kitchen. Seeing her parents’ enthusiasm, she was too embarrassed to tell them the truth.
She retracted her gaze and sat down to look at Liao Jiayan. “Yan Yan, why didn’t you ask Dad and Mom to eat just now? Aren’t you hungry?”
At the mention of dinner, Liao Jiayan’s gaze paused for a moment. Suddenly, she sneered and said, “Dad and Mom are old and have lost their sense of propriety. Have you lost yours too? I brought my boyfriend home to eat with Dad and Mom. M/hy are you, a married daughter, coming back to join in the fun? You still had the audacity to make your entire family wait for you to come over for dinner. How impudent are you?”
Just now, she had almost quarreled with her parents at the dining table. Everyone was in a bad mood, so in the end, they could only remove themselves from the dining table and sit in the living room to eat fruits hungrily.
“l told Mom on the phone that I had something to do and would come back later. I told her not to wait for us…
“Don’t you know what our parents are like?” If they weren’t twins, Liao Jiayan would have had reason to suspect that she wasn’t her parents’ biological daughter.
Seeing that the sisters had started fighting as soon as they met, Xu Zeyi and Liao Jiayan’s boyfriends could only try to dissuade them.
The four people in the living room quickly fell into a deadlock and did not speak for a long time.
After a long time, Mother Liao brought the hot dishes back to the dining table and shouted happily, “The dishes are ready. Ke Ke, Little Yi, come and eat.”
Hearing that her mother didn’t call her name, a trace of loneliness flashed across Liao Jiayan’s eyes. A moment later, she pulled her boyfriend up. “Let’s go eat.”
Under Mother Liao’s urging, Liao Jiake and her husband had no choice but to go to the dining room. They sat down with everyone and drank a bowl of hot soup.
Just as Liao Jiake finished a bowl of soup and her mother was about to scoop rice for her, she covered the bowl and said, “Mom, actually, we just came after dinner.’
Suddenly, a pair of chopsticks slammed onto the table.
Slap! Liao Jiayan angrily put down her chopsticks and almost smashed the bowl on the table.
Everyone was shocked by her actions and did not understand what was wrong with her.
The next second, Liao Jiayan raised her head and looked at Liao Jiake with a cold gaze. “Since you’ve already eaten, why didn’t you say so earlier?”
They even specially came over after dinner. This couple was really interesting.
The next day
Birds chirped mellowly on the branches. The morning dew drenched the tender leaves, making them look more lively and colorful.
Meng Chuyuan had brought an extra suitcase for this filming trip. Lu Jinsen had been working overseas for the past two days. He arrived at the filming city in the early morning last night and stayed at a nearby hotel. Meng Chuyuan was the only one who took a plane there this time.
The fourth episode was situated in a beautiful prairie, where they would spend four beautiful days.
At the airport, she happened to meet Liao Jiake, who was alone.
After Meng Chuyuan finished checking in her luggage, she saw that Liao Jiake was also settling the pre-flight procedures. She specially walked over to greet her. “Sister Ke Ke, what a coincidence. We are on the same flight again.”
“Teacher Meng, you’re up early too.”
Meng Chuyuan hummed softly and glanced around. She did not see Liao
Jiayan following her, so she asked curiously, “Why don’t I see Sister Yan Yan?”
Liao Jiake forced a smile and said softly, “Her boyfriend just arrived last night. She probably… won’t be filming the variety show with us.”
When she woke up today, she called Liao Jiayan, but she declined the call without even picking it up.
The matter last night hadn’t been resolved. Not only was the matter at the dining table unresolved, but Liao Jiayan also didn’t have a chance to tell them about her marriage.
Perhaps it was because of the unhappy incident earlier that affected her parents’ mood but not only were they unable to calm down and listen to her talk about the marriage, they also took the initiative to teach Liao Jiayan a lesson and make her apologize to her sister.
Liao Jiayan was also a little stubborn. She would never lower her head.
Meng Chuyuan nodded thoughtfully. “l see.”
After Liao Jiake finished her procedures, the two of them waited in the waiting room.
After a long while, Liao Jiake realized that Meng Chuyuan was also traveling alone. She asked in confusion, “Where’s Lu Jinsen? Isn’t he with you?”
“He has been working recently, so he went over first.”
When Liao Jiake heard this, she looked envious. “That’s great.”
Ever since she became famous, she had been more picky. Whether it was with regards to the acting script or the advertisement endorsement, Liao Jiake only wanted the best.
Currently, only this countryside variety show could bring her exposure.
At around 9:30 in the morning, the plane finally landed.
Meng Chuyuan and Liao Jiake met up with the production team at the airport and immediately headed to the recording location.
As their journey was long and they landed late, they had already missed the start of the live-stream. The audience was also waiting anxiously in front of the screen. The moment the production team received them, they immediately started the live-stream.
The number of viewers in the live-stream increased rapidly. It was much faster than usual. The screen was filled with comments from the audience. Meng Chuyuan and Liao Jiake were still on the bus. The production team had to start by asking the two of them a few simple questions about their thoughts or expectations for the upcoming recording.
Lu Qingye had just finished his work and was about to get off work when he saw the notification on his phone subscription. It was a notification that the account he was following was on live-stream.
Live-stream?
‘Then why didn’t she call?’
Lu Qingye frowned slightly and put away the fountain pen in his hand. Then, he picked up his phone and unlocked it to enter the live-stream.
On the screen, Meng Chuyuan was answering the staffs questions. Seeing that only she and another female guest were in the car, he guessed that the live-stream had just started.
He temporarily threw the matter of getting off work to the back of his mind. He leaned back in his chair and leisurely watched the live-stream.
While watching the live-stream, Lu Qingye was also waiting for Meng Chuyuan’s call..
