Chapter 2: Invited to participate in a variety show
Due to the good viewership ratings of the previous season of "Brothers and Sisters Advance and Retreat", the second season quickly arrived.
This was a variety show set in the countryside. The entire process would be broadcasted live. The production team would not provide living expenses. Guests had to work to exchange ingredients to complete their journey to the countryside.
There were a total of three groups of guests participating in the recording of the show. Other than Lu Jinsen and Meng Chuyuan's group, there was also the national goddess, Liao Jiake, and her twin sister, Liao Jiayan. As well as the new popular rookie, Qi Zhen, and his sister, Qi Yan.
The day before filming started, the production team officially announced the guest list on Weibo. Lu Jinsen and Meng Chuyuan, the unorthodox pair of uncle and sister-in-law, were exposed by a marketing account: "A young woman with the surname M was abandoned by her rich husband on her wedding night? which caused a heated discussion online:
[Good lord! The uncle-sister-in-law duo is extraordinary.]
[Am I seeing things? An uncle-sister-in-law duo?]
[Isn't their group too perfunctory?! Isn't it a show where brothers and sisters advance and retreat together? How can they bring Sister-in-law along?]
[Doesn't Lu Jinsen have a big brother? Some time ago, there were rumors that his big brother was participating. Why is there a change now?]
[Is the threshold for variety shows so low now? They'll hire anyone.]
[I have a bold guess. Could that woman surnamed M be Lu Jinsen's sister-in-law?]
[I think it's most likely her. Shouldn't a newlywed be on a honeymoon trip with her husband? Instead she's going 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, the other guests, including Lu Jinsen, had all arrived, except for Meng Chuyuan.
The director asked, "Lu Jinsen, where's your sister-in-law?"
Lu Jinsen replied coldly, "I don't know."
That day, his manager called Meng Chuyuan and put her on speaker. Lu Jinsen was present at that time and was quite surprised to hear her agree.
The program process was handled by his manager and Meng Chuyuan. Lu Jinsen had not contacted her at all.
Since he could not see Meng Chuyuan at this critical time, the person who was most anxious was actually Lu Jinsen. As the two of them were not familiar with each other, it was possible that he had been stood up.
The director did not want to delay the live broadcast. He was very anxious. "You don't know? How can you not know? Quickly call your sister-in-law and ask her where she is?"
Under the director's supervision, Lu Jinsen could only reluctantly take out his phone. Right at that moment, Meng Chuyuan appeared from behind them.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Everyone looked at Meng Chuyuan when they heard her voice. She was dressed very celestially, as if she had walked out of a painting. For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on her, including Lu Jinsen…
Lu Jinsen stood where he was. It was only after everyone got into the car that he finally came back to his senses. He frowned and crossed his arms. His gaze landed on Meng Chuyuan as she walked over with her luggage nonchalantly.
When Meng Chuyuan walked up to him, Lu Jinsen snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Can you have some sense of time?"
"Why don't I have a 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 thank you?"
Meng Chuyuan replied seriously, "You're welcome."
"…" He didn't even dare to cut it this close to the broadcasting time. How dare this woman!
Initially, Lu Jinsen had wanted to leave a good impression on the other guests, considering it was their first time meeting. Now, it was all ruined by Meng Chuyuan.
An hour later, the bus arrived at its destination.
The live broadcast filmed the bus's journey to the village using aerial photography as the opening scene.
The moment the camera captured the car door opening, Liao Jiake was the first to appear in the live-stream. She was wearing a white shirt and light blue denim pants. She walked over with a smile, and the dimples on both sides of her cheeks were beautiful and charming.
Her younger sister, Liao Jiayan, was wearing a light purple jacket with a white tank top underneath. Coupled with a black skirt and sneakers, she looked young and energetic as she followed her sister obediently.
Upon seeing the two beauties appear at the same time, comments flooded the bullet screen in the live-stream.
[I finally get to watch the second season of Brothers and Sisters Advance and Retreat!]
[If I remember correctly, this is the first variety show after Ke Ke's marriage. The production team has won this time!]
[Ke Ke's condition is getting better and better after her marriage. This is what marriage should be like.]
[These twins look so similar. I can't even tell who's the older sister and who's the younger sister!]
[The person in the white shirt is the elder sister. She resembles her name, gentle and pleasant. Her sister Jiayan is also very beautiful, but I like Ke Ke more because her smile is really sweet.]
