Ye Kehuan could imagine what people would pay attention to once the show was broadcast.

“What’s the matter?” Sitting in the back of the car, Jiang Laien saw Ye Kehuan’s expression was weird, so she turned to ask her.

“It’s nothing.” Ye Kehuan finished speaking and smiled reluctantly. At that moment, her phone rang suddenly, so she picked it up and saw that it was her mother who was calling. Without pause, Ye Kehuan held the phone to her ear, “Hello?”

“Baby, is the meeting finished?!” Mama Ye’s voice came from the phone immediately.

Ye Kehuan raised her hand and stroked her forehead, saying a thousand words in her heart, but suddenly she didn’t know how to say them: “Yes, what’s the matter?”

“Jimmy, this black tea is too sweet. Be careful next time.” On the other side of the phone, Mama Ye turned to talk with Ye Kehuan after talking to others. “Isn’t that show going on this Friday? It’s Monday, when are you coming back?”

Ye Kehuan pushed her hair back: “Thursday. There will be work tomorrow and the day after.”

After hearing that, Mama Ye laughed twice: “Okay, mom is waiting for you, oh yes, what do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you herself!”

Ye Kehuan closed her eyes: “I think it will be safer for Chef Yi to do this kind of thing. He is a professional after all. He will not blow up the kitchen, and at the same time, he can cook a large table of delicious dishes…”

“Okay, then don’t blame me for not letting you taste the taste of maternal love.” Mama Ye smiled.

Ye Kehuan rubbed her temples: “In terms of the taste of mother’s love and the safety of life, I choose the latter.”

Her mother, Ye Ling, was a magical woman who could only make a few desserts such as sandwiches and cupcakes, but she would never make anything else. And the reason why she would do that was because she wanted to chase after Ye Kehuan’s dad, Ye Bingquan. Later, they got married, and she didn’t do much. By now, she had probably forgotten how to do it.

“Well, what a ruthless daughter, then I’ll wait for you. See you on Thursday. The hair stylist has arrived.”

“Okay, goodbye.” After hanging up, Ye Kehuan let out a long sigh.

Why did she not like exposing her family background? Apart from not wanting to let others focus on things other than her acting skills, it was also related to some of the encounters she had as a child.

Because of her family background, she always had people spreading rumors about her since elementary school, and she couldn’t make true friends. Many people who approached her were actually for her money. Unpleasant things happened several times, and after changing a few schools, she began to hide herself habitually. When attending high school, apart from Chen Lulu and Jiang Laien, almost no one in the class knew about her family.

But now, she was going to be exposed. Even if she didn’t want to be exposed, her mother would be.

Netizens also exploded about the fact that Ye Kehuan, Jiang Laien, Cheng Yan, Yu Mei, and Xiao Mingguang were all going to participate in the travel show. They all knew that Cheng Yan and Ye Kehuan were at odds, and they all knew that Cheng Yan and Yu Bei were both properly Bai Fumei. Needless to say more about Jiang Laien--it could really be said to be full of potential highlights.

Seeing that the public’s attention was so high, Cheng Yan felt so happy in her heart, as if she could smell the opportunity to turn over.

For a long time, her family status had been a point of concern for netizens. After seeing the various luxury goods and luxury travel logs she exposed, they all developed a considerable curiosity about her life and wished to stand up and look at how rich people lived.

But now, her dad had bought her a new European-style villa of more than 1,000 square meters, which was very compelling inside and out. If it was broadcasted, it would definitely attract a lot of people’s attention. After all, it was every modern person’s dream to be filthy rich. And when Ye Kehuan was compared to her, she would probably be humbled down to the center of the earth. After thinking about that, Cheng Yan laughed.

Because this house was located in an expensive area, and it was larger than the place where her parents lived, Cheng Yan decided to let her mother come to her villa to record this time. After all, that looked more compelling and shocking.

After finishing their work, Cheng Yan and Yu Mei met again in a luxury store to buy the next season’s products and prepare to wear them on the trip. After all, this kind of variety show opportunity was rare, and she had to make herself look beautiful, rich, and charming.

In the blink of an eye, Thursday finally arrived.

Early in the morning, after Ye Kehuan woke up, she took the watch her mother had given her on the bedside table and squinted her eyes, only to see that it was eight o’clock in the morning. Putting down the watch, Ye Kehuan lay back in her original position, stretched out her hand to the side, but found that there was no one on her side.

With a frown on her face and eyebrows, Ye Kehuan turned her head: “Laien?”

She yelled twice, but didn’t see her. Thinking that she should have gotten up, Ye Kehuan didn’t want to sleep anymore, so she turned over and got out of bed and entered the bathroom, went downstairs, and followed some small movements to the kitchen.

In the bright and spacious beige-toned kitchen, the layout was simple and generous, and there were verdant plants on the island, which was quite refreshing. At that time, Jiang Laien, who was wearing a loose silk rose-gold shirt, was cutting something on the counter. There seemed to be some soup in a small pot next to her, which was boiling at that moment.

The drape of the shirt was very good, covering her body and making her legs look long, with an elegant taste everywhere.

Ye Kehuan leaned at the door, tilted her head to look at her, and smiled for a while, then left the door frame, walked forward quietly, and reached out to touch her waist: “What are you making?”

A lazy, slightly nasal voice came from behind her. Jiang Laien couldn’t help but accidentally cut a small tomato in half while holding a kitchen knife. Then she turned her head slightly: “Borscht, fried yellow croaker, and vegetable and fruit salad.”

“These are all my favorites, are you cooking for my appetite specially?” Ye Kehuan put her chin on her shoulder.

“Yeah, so what? I’m quite virtuous, aren’t I?” Jiang Laien put down the knife, picked up a small piece of tomato, and fed it to Ye Kehuan’s lips.

After Ye Kehuan ate the small tomato, she smiled: “Why have you started to study cooking recently?”

When Jiang Laien heard her words, she turned off the fire below the soup pot, turned around, and folded her arms around her neck; her eyes were like water, but her red lips were like fire: “Because if you want to hold someone’s heart,  you must first hold their stomach.”

Ye Kehuan smiled happily, tightened the hand placed on her waist, lowered her eyes, turned her head, and gently touched her full and soft lips: “However, nothing is enough to hold my heart.”

Jiang Laien gulped, clasping her hands behind her neck: “Really?”

Ye Kehuan did not speak, but kissed her again, and at the same time, Jiang Laien responded to her. Before she knew it, Ye Kehuan’s breathing was no longer steady and restful, but at that moment, her wrist was held.

“There isn’t enough time. We have to hurry up and eat breakfast, and then it’s time to take a flight home.” Jiang Laien whispered.

“So you mean, if you have enough time, you are willing to do something with me?” Ye Kehuan raised her hand, put it to her lips to kiss, and looked up at her again.

“Take this and block your mouth!” Jiang Laien was annoyed by her shameless appearance, instantly picked up the fried small yellow croaker and omelette, stuffed it in her hand, and turned around to open the lid and serve the borscht.

Ye Kehuan smiled while holding the plate of yellow croaker, then looked at Jiang Laien’s back, only thinking that she was unbearably cute.

After eating breakfast, Ye Kehuan and Jiang Laien changed their clothes and rushed to the airport with their luggage, ready to go home. After sleeping the whole way, when she arrived at Fenghuang Qiuyun Airport, it was exactly 2:30 in the afternoon. After Ye Kehuan took her luggage and walked out of the VIP channel, she saw her driver, Old Qin.

Old Qin wore a small black suit and combed his hair meticulously. After seeing Ye Kehuan, he was about to bow but was stopped by Ye Kehuan.

Ye Kehuan looked around, and then under the leadership of Old Qin, walked warily into the parking building, stood next to a Bentley car and put in her luggage.

Old Qin opened the car door, so Ye Kehuan sat down, and the car door was closed. She reached out and put her hand on her forehead, closing her eyes to do some mental reconstruction for herself.

Afterwards, Old Qin also sat in the car, and drove the car out in the next second. After about an hour, the car left the hustle and bustle of the city and drove to an old logging road surrounded by green trees. Eventually, it slowed down at a white gate, and after the gate was opened, it drove inside. After passing a small garden with white sculptures and fountains, they continued to move inside, and finally reached the front of a huge building before stopping.

Before Old Qin came to open the door, Ye Kehuan got out of the car first, and saw six servants standing on the left and right sides of the door, and a housekeeper in a suit and leather shoes standing in the middle. At that time, everyone was looking at her with a smile and welcomed her home.

Grandiose, Ye Kehuan thought secretly in her heart. She glanced at the meticulously manicured lawns on both sides of the house. She let out a sigh, and then walked up the stops with the driver who helped her carry her suitcase and walked in the door.

The next day.

The program team was divided into five groups and went to the homes of the five groups of families.

At eight o’clock in the morning, one of the groups drove to Cheng Yan’s home.

They saw it was a two-story villa with a small garden. It seemed to occupy a large area. The small garden was also very beautiful and delicate. There were green plants climbing up the fence, and the lawn was simple and generous.

“What a great…” The program crew couldn’t help but let out heartfelt sighs, then walked to the door of Cheng Yan’s house and reached out to knock on the door.

After a moment, the door was opened by an auntie, and then Cheng Yan in a white dress appeared in front of their eyes.

“Hello, please come in.” Cheng Yan said with a smile after seeing the camera, pushing her hair behind her ears.

“Hello, hello.” After the program crew got their permission, they walked in carrying the camera. After entering, they saw a magnificent area in the living room, and every inch of the European classical decoration oozed wealth.

Cheng Yan saw that the people in the program group were dumbfounded and was in a good mood, so she turned her head and looked at the housekeeper: “Auntie Xu, let’s prepare some biscuits and water for everyone.”

“Okay.” After Auntie Xu responded, she turned and walked towards the kitchen on the side.

“No need, we are not thirsty.” The people in the program group smiled and waved their hands.

“All right, I don’t have makeup yet. I’ll go up and put on some makeup first.” Cheng Yan smiled. In fact, she had already put on the bare minimum makeup to make herself look presentable.

“Okay.” The program crew nodded, and then followed her upstairs, not forgetting to look back and show the big house from time to time.

“My mother is watering the flowers in the backyard and will come in a while.” Cheng Yan opened her bedroom door while she was talking, turned her head and smiled, walked in, sat in front of the dressing table, and started putting on makeup.

When putting on makeup, Cheng Yan deliberately opened several boxes of lipsticks, and chose the color number to use that day. Of course, choosing which number was false, she just wanted to show off. Those lipsticks were all expensive imported red with full color numbers. When the young lady from the crew saw it, she couldn’t help but raise her hand to cover her mouth, barely resisting yelling “OMG”. At the same time, the cinematographer followed and took close-ups on the cosmetics. All the TF, Armani, Chanel, what ordinary girls could only think of, were all there, and many more. Ordinary people might only have one, but she had rows.

Cheng Yan smiled, then got up again: “Sorry, I came back too late last night, and I haven’t had much time to clean up yet.”

“It’s okay, it’s early.” The faces of the crew hurriedly filled with smiles.

Cheng Yan tucked her hair, and then walked into her closet.

After the closet was opened, everyone was stunned again. The closet was almost larger than many people’s bedrooms. The clothes, bags, shoes, and accessories inside were arranged in zones, neatly organized, and everything was very expensive, belonging to the high-end price even among luxury goods.

“Wow, isn’t this bag the LV limited edition bag that was snatched up a while ago?” The girl from the crew asked when she looked at a bag on the shelf.

“Yes, but I was a little tired after carrying it a few times, so I left it there. It’s a bit dusty, please don’t laugh.” Cheng Yan smiled, took off a Prada dress from a rack, then held it up to look at it. She had ordered several branded clothes, some of which were high-end customs.

After finishing, Cheng Yan walked to the jewelry cabinet on one side, opened it, and took out a necklace worth millions of dollars. She stood in front of the mirror wearing Chanel clothes and posed. After that, she picked up some other jewels and continued to pose.

In fact, her purpose was very simple: to make her valuables shine in front of the camera.

It was undeniable that the effect Cheng Yan wanted was achieved. Seeing the room full of luxury goods, the crew was completely stunned.

At the same time, on the other side, people from the program group were about to arrive at Ye Kehuan’s house.

“What kind of place is this?” After the car drove a few turns, the crew couldn’t help but mutter. They were not locals, and they were not familiar with the area at all.

“Hey, we are so unlucky, why did we come to shoot Ye Kehuan?” Anyway, they were still being paid, so they came out there without hesitation.

“Well said, what will Ye Kehuan’s family look like? Suddenly, I’ve become a little curious. Some online said that she was an invisible rich, and some said her family was too poor to eat the dirt. I don’t know which one is credible, although I believe she is poor. Most people eat dirt.”

“Even if she is not so poor, she shouldn’t be well-off. If she was rich, would she still need to be so desperate to stick to someone else’s superiors that she would sell her body in exchange for resources… Damn it!”

As the people in the program group were chatting, seeing the place in front of them as the car stopped, they were suddenly dumbfounded.

They saw a white gate in front of them, and could faintly see a huge garden inside, and behind the garden, a huge white European-style building stood upright. The building occupied too much area, and with its architectural style, if not because it had to be new, could pass as a relic.

“Fuck! Is this a castle?!” One person couldn’t help but go boggle-eyed.

“Is it here? Ye Kehuan’s house?” The camera operator couldn’t help but ask a bespectacled girl who was in charge of the navigation.

“Yes, right…” The glasses girl was dumbfounded, “I’ll go ring the doorbell.”

The next second, the glasses girl went to ring the doorbell, and then, a man’s face appeared on a screen.

“Hello, may I ask, is this the Ye family?” Asked the girl.

“Yes, are you from the travel show?” The man always kept a perfect smile on his face.

“Yes.” The glasses girl nodded.

“Okay, please wait a moment.” After the man spoke, he hung up the video.

Afterwards, the gate slowly opened. Seeing that, the glasses girl hurried back to the car: “Let’s go, it really is!”

Everyone was dumbfounded, and then drove the car in. After entering, they only felt that they had come to some famous plaza. In the center stood a lifelike sculpture and fountain. The lawn was spread out from both sides of the road, and the flowers and plants were meticulously trimmed. Everyone in the car looked at those next to them, unsure of reality anymore.

After a while, the car finally stopped in front of a huge building, and they saw a middle-aged man in a suit with slick hair and white gloves standing in the middle of the doorway, smiling at them.

After the crew got off the car and ran up with the equipment, the glasses girl froze and said, “Are you… Mr. Ye?”

Hearing this, the man smiled: “No, I am the housekeeper of the Ye family. Please come with me, everyone.”

“Okay.” The girl licked her lower lip and walked in with everyone.

As soon as the door was opened, they saw the entrance was a huge hall, the ceiling was horribly high, like a church, there were various famous paintings on the walls, and there were various art pieces shining under crystal lamps. All those seemed extraordinarily luxurious, but because the design contained a great sense of postmodernism, it didn’t look ostentatious. 

What was more frightening was that there were still many servants within.

Was this really Ye Kehuan’s house? It looked too… terrible here. This was no longer an ordinary rich person, right?! The program team looked around, and found it was impossible to measure the area of that hall with the naked eye. They only knew that the hall was also divided into several areas for different designs. There seemed to be an office-style reception room.

The cinematographer paned his camera over everything without stopping.

“Excuse me, Miss Ye Kehuan, she…” After regaining consciousness, the crew tentatively asked the butler.

“Young Madam hasn’t gotten up yet.” The butler answered with a smile.

“Young Madam?!” The program crew were confused again by such a title.

“Then, Mother Ye…”

“Madam is in the gym. Do you want me to take you there?” the butler smiled.

“Okay…” A person from the crew nodded, already wondering what to say.

In the next second, the butler walked to the right, arrived at an elevator door, pressed the button, folded his hands in front of him, and stood straight until the elevator door opened, and walked in. Everyone in the crew also followed in.

The glasses girl couldn’t help pushing her glasses. What kind of situation was this, a handsome tall and handsome butler, a slender servant, a beautiful castle-like mansion, and even an elevator inside, this was Ye Kehuan, what was going on?!

On the third floor, the elevator door opened. The butler glanced at the corridor and walked to the right. After passing four or five rooms, he turned and came to a spacious gym where he stood still.

The gym looked very bright because of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass. They saw that Ye Ling was practicing pilates on a mat at the moment.

Although Ye Ling was forty-eight years old, she was in a very good shape, without a trace of fat on her waist, and her muscles were perfectly smooth. At that time, she was wearing a ponytail and a gray sports vest with elastic fitness pants of the same color doing bending exercises.

The crew was stunned again. Could this be Ye Kehuan’s mother? She looked a bit too young, right?

After watching the people from the program group for a while, the housekeeper walked through a pile of treadmills and other fitness equipment, and led them to Ye Ling in front of the mirror to stop: “Madam, the program group members are here.”

After hearing the butler’s voice, Ye Ling stopped her movements instantly, got up from the ground, clapped her hands and looked at them: “You came?”

“Yes. Mrs. Ye is beautiful.” The glasses girl looked at her face with light European and American makeup, as if she was barely over 30 years old, “You look so young.”

“Thank you for the compliment.” Ye Ling smiled. She looked really young, to the point where every time she went out with Ye Kehuan, she was considered to be her older sister.

At that time, the servant next to Ye Ling looked at Ye Ling again: “Madam, do you want to wake up Young Madam now?”

“I’ll call her myself.” After Ye Ling finished speaking, she smiled, and then pulled the shawl off the bottle of the practice exercise, put it on her body, and walked out.

After walking for a while, entering the elevator, and going down to the second floor, Ye Ling walked out, down the corridor for a while, and then finally stopped in front of a door. The people from the show group stood beside her, looking at each other. To be honest, they couldn’t believe that this was Ye Kehuan’s home until they saw Ye Kehuan herself.

Boom, boom! Ye Ling called out after knocking on the door for a while, “Baby, are you awake?”

At that moment, Ye Kehuan, who was lying on a big bed in the room, frowned, turned over, and finally sat up. She chatted with Jiang Laien for too long the previous night, thinking that someone would wake her up today, and didn’t set an alarm clock, so she ended up oversleeping accidentally.

After stroking her messy hair, Ye Kehuan put on slippers, stood up from the bed, stretched her waist, and then took lazy steps, bypassing a glass coffee table, towards the door. Walking over and opening the door: “I’m awake, I’m awake.”

As soon as the door opened, not only her mother was standing at the door, but also a few strangers. Ye Kehuan looked at the camera and immediately understood that they were people from the program group.

“Hello, you came so early, thanks for your hard work.” Ye Kehuan was taken aback, so she scratched her hair, smiled, and bowed immediately.

The crew were instantly stunned and bowed back to her in a panic: “Hello! You’re welcome, you’re welcome, you’re working hard, and you have to get up early in the morning to record the program.”

“What are you wearing?” At that moment, Ye Ling walked to Ye Kehuan, but stretched out her hand to pull on her collar, frowning.

“It’s good quality and it’s comfortable to wear.” Ye Kehuan folded her arms.

“Where is the nightdress I bought for you yesterday?” Ye Ling glanced at her. It was from a big brand.

“It’s uncomfortable that the skirt will always slide up when you wear it to sleep.” Ye Kehuan frowned and replied.

Ye Ling wanted to scold her very much, but she resisted it, instead pulling on her hair: “Why do you sleep with your hair like this?”

“Hey, I’ll go and wash it.” Ye Kehuan caressed her neck happily.

However, Ye Ling immediately turned to look at the butler waiting at the door: “Contact Mike.”

“Yes ma’am,” The butler nodded, then took out his mobile phone like an AI and started to make the call, “Hello, Master Mike, can you please come over now, our eldest lady needs a look. Okay.”

The people in the crew were once again stunned. It seemed that this was the pattern of having a private stylist? Everyone gulped again.

Ye Kehuan couldn’t help but stretch out her hand and brush her hair. It was a mess, but wasn’t it just ordinary black and straight? She could just wash it.

Then Ye Ling continued to walk forward and entered Ye Kehuan’s bed room: “Have you packed all your clothes for the show?”

Ye Kehuan’s bedroom was also quite large, and everything in it was quite luxurious.

Ye Kehuan pointed to a large suitcase that hadn’t been closed yet: “There it is.”

Ye Ling walked to Ye Kehuan’s suitcase, squatted down, picked up a piece of clothing, and looked at it: “Your clothes are not good-looking.”

“Well, I think they’re fine. They’re very versatile.” Ye Kehuan took the clothes from her hand and folded them, then threw them back into the suitcase.

“Ouch,” Ye Ling glanced at her disgustedly again, then stood aside and clapped her hands. So, a servant walked in from outside, pushing two rows of clothes, and stood still in front of Ye Kehuan.

“I bought these clothes according to your size. You can try them. If you look good, just pack them in your suitcase.” Ye Ling stretched out a Valentino coat and twisted, turning her head to look at her.

“I don’t want them. Such needless exaggeration. I still like to buy them myself.” Ye Kehuan glanced at it and said stubbornly.

The people from the crew finally understood that it wasn’t that Ye Kehuan was able to wear big name clothing, but she didn’t take big names seriously at all!

“It’s so ostentatious, so beautiful,” Ye Ling fiddled with the clothes, “As far as these clothes are concerned, just put on one piece and you can become the brightest star in the night sky.”

“I bring my own beauty, even a piece of linen can’t stop my beauty.” Ye Kehuan pointed at her pajamas.

“I think you are just a piece of sackcloth.” In the end, Ye Ling let go.

“If I’m sackcloth, then what are you?” Ye Kehuan replied with a yawn.

Ye Ling laughed with anger, reached out, and slapped her arm: “Your mouth is itchy, isn’t it?”

Ye Kehuan nodded: “Yes.”

After that, Ye Kehuan leaned over and kissed her cheek: “Okay, it stopped itching.”

Seeing this, Ye Ling couldn’t help but chuckle, then waved her hand: “Okay, what do you like to wear?”

Ye Kehuan was happy, and then pulled out a set of paired dresses, and showed them to Ye Ling: “Mom, let’s wear this, what do you think? It’s rare to be on a variety show together. I specially asked my friend to help us design it…”

Ye Ling glanced at the two sets of clothes, only to see the pinyin of both of their names embroidered on the top. She suddenly smiled, and patted her on the shoulder: “Fine, what do you do with this kind of thing?”

“Then you’re saying you want to wear it with me?” Ye Kehuan frowned.

Ye Ling listened and took the clothes from her hand: “Okay, I will wear them.”

After speaking, Ye Ling turned around and walked out of Ye Kehuan’s bedroom.

The members of the crew suddenly laughed out of control when they saw the two people bickering with each other. Suddenly they felt that the way this mother and daughter got along was a little cute.

After watching Ye Ling go out, Ye Kehuan turned around and looked at the clothes that Ye Ling had carefully selected for her. Finally, she breathed out a sigh of relief and took out some of the clothes from her suitcase, removing two stacks. Then she took a few pieces from the other clothes and put them inside.

“You’re still going to wear them?” The glasses girl asked with a smile?

Ye Kehuan stood up, looked at her, clapped her hands, and nodded: “After all, it is her heart. She just wants me to look beautiful. So, it won’t matter if I wear it.”

After that, Ye Kehuan took her own paired dress, and pointed to her closet: “I’m going to change clothes. You can sit and rest for a while, this camera must be tiring to carry.”

“Okay, you go.” The girl hurriedly smiled.

Seeing Ye Kehuan walking into the closet, the glasses girl and her colleagues stared with big eyes. They invariably reached out and patted their chests, then turned to look at Ye Kehuan’s bedroom. That bedroom was even bigger than ordinary people’s halls…

After a while, finally, Ye Kehuan and Ye Ling both finished their styling, put on makeup that matched the casual dress, and then they wore the pair dresses together. They walked arm in arm with their luggage, got in the crew car, and headed to the airport.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Ye Kehuan and Mama Ye arrived in Jingcheng, and then they drove straight to the villa book by the program team.

After taking out their luggage, Ye Kehuan and Mama Ye walked to the door of the villa, took off their sunglasses, and reached out to press the doorbell.

“They’re here.” Cheng Yan trolled over in the villa.
