Chapter 309: Family in Decline?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing Lin Youjuan’s reaction, Lu Jinsen mercilessly undermined her. “Mom, you really like to be involved even though you’re a noob. If you don’t like to show your face in public, why did you agree to this? We had no intention of recording at home.”
He knew that his mother was not used to having outsiders at home, but she agreed when the production team extended an invitation to her.
If he had known that this would happen, he would have discussed it over with Lin Youjuan as soon as he returned that day.
“Wouldn’t it be strange if everyone else agrees but we don’t?” She was a person who didn’t have many opinions of her own. Furthermore, she often hung out with those few sisters in her social circle and pretty much listened to their words blindly.
Meng Chuyuan: “Mom, if you have your own ideas, don’t be easily swayed by others. Besides, there’s nothing strange about disagreeing. The questionnaire was issued by the production team. They will definitely reconsider the plan for those who have rejected their proposal. In short, no matter which one you choose, it won’t affect the production team’s filming process.”
“You can’t blame others. Actually, I really want to participate.” At that time, Lin Youjuan was in a dilemma. Coincidentally, Lan Hui was also beside her. Seeing that she had agreed, Lin Youjuan was a little tempted to do so as well.
However, Lin Youjuan was thinking about the question she had brought up last time. Coincidentally, Meng Chuyuan and the others were around, so she brought it up again. “It doesn’t seem appropriate for them to film here. Should we move to another place?”
When Lu Qianling heard this, she looked over curiously. “How is it not suitable? Our house is not messy.”
Lin Youjuan said softly, “It’s not messy… It just feels too high-profile.”
“Mom, you don’t usually keep a low profile. For you to actually say such a thing today…” Lu Qianling’s gaze sized her up from top to bottom. She shook her head gently, and the corners of her lips curled up, revealing a disdainful expression.
“How can that be the same? Why don’t you take a look at the people around us? If we dress slightly worse, everyone will think that our family is falling into decline. This rumor will spread like wildfire. In less than a month, the marketing accounts will definitely spread rumors that a certain company has gone bankrupt.”
Lin Youjuan: “Although I don’t show my face in public often, your father is a reputable person outside. If others see that I’m doing well, not only will your father have face, but his career will also advance. Isn’t that good?”
In the wealthy circle, Lin Youjuan could easily show off her wealth. It seemed reasonable for her to flaunt her wealth, but now that her real lifestyle was going to be shown on a rural variety show, she felt there had to be some restraint.
Lu Qianling understood what she meant, but she still couldn’t understand why Lin Youjuan wanted to change the house. “If that’s the case, why do you want to change the house now?”
“It’s a pastoral variety show… With our family conditions, wouldn’t we be showing off too much?”
Hearing Lin Youjuan’s words, Meng Chuyuan suddenly understood what she was worried about.
Perhaps it was because of the netizens’ comments and some other factors, Lin Youjuan felt that being rich might not be a good thing… Meng Chuyuan replied firmly, “No.”
“Huh? Why?” Lin Youjuan looked at her in confusion.
Meng Chuyuan: “Because this world is unfair to begin with. We should accept this gap, not complain about it. I believe that the production team arranged this segment to provide the audience with such a perspective to this problem.”
After listening to Meng Chuyuan’s explanation, Lin Youjuan came to a realization. “Eh? That’s right! I was wondering why they chose to record at home.. If they wanted the families to participate, they could also invite us over to their filming venue… So this was their goal!”
