Chapter 131 It’s not a big deal to watch the excitement
After Xiao Jie said this, several groups of guests were guessing who would come.
Only Ruogu was the calmest. She felt full after eating two lamb chops. Yu Yuan quickly handed her a strawberry and said considerately, "Eat some fruit to cleanse your mouth. You'll feel sick if you eat too much meat." Ruogu took the strawberry with a smile and took a bite. Her eyes lit up and she said, "The strawberry tastes good and is very sweet."
Wang Lele was drinking water. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "These strawberries are grown by the residents nearby. They ripen naturally in this season without any ripening drugs. They are healthy and delicious."
When Xia Lan heard what Wang Lele said, she also took one and put it in her mouth. She nodded as she ate, "It's really good. It tastes much better than when it was first released."
Ye Mei held her chin up, looked at them with a smile, and said in a good mood: "When I was a child, my family grew strawberries. Later, we couldn't sell them and couldn't eat them all, so my mother made strawberry jam, which was delicious when spread on bread."
Wang Lele chuckled and said, "Strawberries are cheap now, so we can buy some and make strawberry jam. In the morning, if we are too lazy to do anything, we can just spread it on toast. It is simple and convenient."
Xia Lan agreed, "That's fine. Aren't there going to be guests tomorrow? We can also use strawberries to make fruit tea for them. By the way, if there are other artists as guests, shouldn't the production team give them some funding?"
As soon as Xia Lan said this, others followed suit.
"That's right. Although food is delivered every day, we also spend a lot of money ourselves. We can't ask guests to pay for food themselves. How many days will they stay?"
Xiao Jie has not only gained a good reputation for this program recently, but also received praise from his leaders, so he is very generous in terms of funding.
"The guests will stay for two days. Only by spending more time together can they truly feel the true meaning of marriage. The production team will pay for the funds. You can discuss who will keep the money."
As soon as Xiao Jie finished speaking, Qin Xuan said lazily: "I have a lot of personal matters to deal with, so I can't take care of the money. Don't worry about us."
Ye Mei nodded and agreed: "My husband is right. We are young and energetic, and we are not thorough enough. It is better for the brothers and sisters to take care of it."
Yu Yuan calmly replied, "We can't do anything about it. Ruogu needs to see a doctor and receive acupuncture from time to time. I have to take care of her logistics and can't take care of too many other things."
It doesn't matter how much funding the program team gives, but if you take the money, you have to take care of all the messy things. Yu Yuan brought Ruogu here to play, not to be a housekeeper.
Xia Lan was concentrating on conditioning her body and preparing for pregnancy. Dong Rui had taken on a new role and needed to hone his acting skills and understand the role, so he didn't have the time. She said softly:
"I think Lele is the most suitable person to manage the money. She is steady and careful. She will take the money and assign us tasks. We will all follow her orders."
Wang Lele said a little unconfidently: "No, I can only cook a few dishes, how can I be a housekeeper, why don't you come, Sister Xia Lan?"
Xia Lan said angrily, "I have to take care of my body to prepare for pregnancy. I'm sorry to bother you."
Ruogu turned his head to look at her and said softly, "I also think Lele is good at managing money. None of us are as good as you in this aspect."
Ye Mei chuckled and said, "Don't worry, we will all help you. We won't leave all the work to you. If we are really too busy, we will outsource it. Anyway, we have Young Master Qin here, so you don't have to worry."
After Qin Xuan heard Ye Mei say this, he just glanced at her sideways and did not refute. Wang Lele could distinguish between good and bad, so she was what everyone expected.
Anyway, she has no other outstanding qualities, and she is already inconspicuous among the female guests. If a new female artist comes, she will definitely be made even more dull. Instead of this, it would be better for her to have some say, so that she can at least get more screen time.
Wang Lele glanced at Zou Junkai and asked symbolically, "Do you think I can manage this money?"
Zou Junkai would not take it for granted that he was in charge of her like he did before. He said cautiously, "It all depends on your opinion. I am just your assistant. I will do whatever you say."
Wang Lele's eyes flickered slightly. She was a little surprised at how quickly Zou Junkai's attitude changed. It turned out that a woman should not lose her career. If he could continue to be so sensible, she would not mind keeping him for two more years.
Wang Lele was very clear-headed and said, "Since everyone thinks I am suitable, I will take on this task temporarily. If there is anything I do not do well, you can criticize and correct me."
Everyone applauded happily. Xiao Jie said cheerfully, "Now that the main business is settled, there is still an interactive session to be completed. Everyone has been away from home for a few days. I would like to ask the guests to call their families and ask them how they felt after watching the show. Who will go first?"
Dong Rui said helplessly: "Xia Lan and I don't have any children. Her parents are gone, and my parents don't live with us. I don't think there is much point in calling to ask."
Xiao Jie disagreed, "Although they don't live together, they must be following the show. If you don't believe me, you can call and ask."
Xia Lan had a good relationship with her parents-in-law, so she didn't mind. She smiled and urged, "Then call your parents. They're fine right now anyway."
Dong Rui then took out his cell phone and made a call. The call was quickly connected. Mother Dong said in a cheerful voice, "Son, Mom is watching the live broadcast. You must take good care of Lanlan. It doesn't matter whether you have a grandson or not. Lanlan is the person you will spend your whole life with. Her good health is more important than anything else."
Dong Rui chuckled and said, "I know. I've told her many times to try acupuncture and Chinese medicine first. I won't put any pressure on her."
Xia Lan was somewhat touched and said, "Mom, how are you and my dad doing recently? Just spend the money you need to spend, don't be reluctant to spend it. We make money because we want you to live a good life."
Mother Dong smiled from ear to ear, "I know. I will go traveling with your father in a few days. It's fine as long as you two are fine. As for the child, it's up to fate. Anyway, our Dong family doesn't have a throne to inherit."
Xia Lan hummed, and Dong Rui took over the conversation and said, "Then hang up if there's nothing else. Others still have to call..."
Before Dong Rui finished speaking, Dong's mother had already hung up the phone, and everyone laughed in good faith.
Dong Rui said helplessly: "My mother is just like that, she does things in a hurry."
Xiao Jie took over the conversation and said, "Mother Dong is so straightforward. Who will make the call next?"
Ruogu raised his phone and said with a smile, "I'm here to call my daughter."
Xiao Jie's face was full of anticipation. "That's great. We are all curious about your little princess. Although we can't see her face, it's good to hear about her. Let's call her quickly."
Ruogu dialed the phone, and it rang for a long time before someone answered. Huaixi panted slightly and said in a pleasant voice, "Mom, what's wrong? I'm doing the test paper..." Ruogu chuckled and said, "Dad and I miss you. The audience wants to know how you feel after watching our show."
Huai Xi understood what was going on, and she said gently: "We live together, and I'm used to the way you get along with each other. This is my original family, and I feel pretty good about it."
When she said that, the other guests all laughed. Xia Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "What the little girl said is right. In her eyes, mom and dad are just ordinary parents. How can she feel about that?"
Xiao Jie was not afraid of making trouble, so he asked with a sense of humor: "If your parents gave you another brother or sister, would you want them?"
Huai Xi was stunned by this question. She had never really thought about it. Ruogu and Yu Yuan were not considered old in modern times. If they really wanted to have a second or third child, it would be easy. Huai Xi was already that old. She was mature in thinking and did not have such a strong possessiveness. With her mother's love for her, she would not treat her unfairly in the future.
She said in a relaxed tone: "If they really want, I can accept it. Having more siblings will make the family more lively, provided that my mother's body can withstand the pain of pregnancy."
Xiao Jie was a little surprised. Most of the only children today are self-centered and react strongly when they hear that their parents want a second child. He didn't expect Huai Xi to be so calm. He continued to ask, "Aren't you worried that your parents will give more love to your younger brothers and sisters and pay less attention to you?"
Huai Xi chuckled and said, "A newborn baby can't live without someone to take care of him, so it's reasonable to pay more attention to him. This doesn't mean that their love for me has decreased."
Zou Junkai suddenly said, "If they really give birth to a son, the family property you could have inherited would be reduced by at least half. Is that okay with you?"
Huai Xi said sternly: "It is their freedom to give my parents' property to whomever they want. If I can only live on the property they give me, then I am incompetent. I have to rely on myself at all times. It's enough for my parents to just be the icing on the cake."
Huaixi's words made Yu Yuan feel proud, his daughter had never been a dodder.
"Those who want to be Yu Yuan's son-in-law, open your eyes and take a look. The little princess has the right intentions. If you try to cheat her of her money, you might get bitten back and not even a bone will be left."
"Do you really think that girls from wealthy families are naive? Their parents are able to create a large amount of wealth, and their vision and strategy are no better than yours. Not to mention the top educational resources she has, the means she has learned from her parents alone are enough to make you drink a pot."
"It's popular to kill the father and keep the son now, but men still dare to dream of eating out the whole family, how ridiculous."
"Yu Yuan is an incredible girl. She will definitely be more outstanding than her father in the future. She will not try to make a living in the entertainment industry. Even if she wants to, she will definitely be a capitalist."
"She is quite enviable, but if Yu Yuan gives birth to another son, that may not be the case. After all, rich people still have a great need for sons."
Yu Yuan was very proud of Huai Xi's answer. He didn't like others deliberately leading him on, so he said:
"Please don't worry about our family affairs. Ruogu and I have no plans to have another child. Our daughter is our sweetheart and all the property in the house is for her. I didn't have time to accompany her when she was a child, and now I just want to double it. Most importantly, I don't need a son."
Ruogu also expressed his attitude gently: "It's enough for me to have a daughter. I don't want to have any more."
Xia Lan couldn't help but taunt him, "You guys are really meddling in other people's business. If I had such an outstanding daughter, I wouldn't trade her for ten sons. What era is this and you're still arguing about gender? Children are more valuable when they're good, not when they're few. Pigs give birth to lots of them, but they're still slaughtered anyway."
Wang Lele said to Zou Junkai in disgust: "You are really nosy. We can barely afford to raise our son, and you still have the time to worry about other people's affairs..."
Zou Junkai lacked confidence and didn't dare to say anything more. Xiao Jie was afraid of causing new conflicts, so he quickly said, "Thank you for your cooperation, little princess. We still need to contact other people, so I won't say more to you. Bye..."
Xiao Jie realized that what he said just now was inappropriate, and planned to apologize to Yu Yuan in private. At this moment, the main thing was the show. He looked at Ye Mei and said, "Which family members are you two going to call?"
Ye Mei looked at Qin Xuan awkwardly. She only had a brother who was in high school, and Qin Xuan's parents didn't approve of her. She really didn't know who to call. Qin Xuan didn't take it too seriously. He said nonchalantly, "Call my mom. She should be free."
Qin Xuan didn't notice that Ye Mei was uneasy, and called his mother. The phone rang twice and someone picked up. Ms. Li said coldly: "Why are you calling back at this time, little bastard? Are you out of money again?"
When she said this, the other guests couldn't help laughing. Qin Xuan said shamelessly: "I don't have much money. I called just to check on you. Are you feeling well?"
Ms. Li said mercilessly: "Just stop making me angry and focus more on your work."
Qin Xuan hummed perfunctorily, and asked casually, "Have you watched my variety show recently? What do you think of my relationship with Ye Mei?"
Ms. Li sneered and said, "I don't care about your business. I don't like your wife. Just feel comfortable. Don't bully others too harshly."
Ms. Li understood her son's temperament and character, so she was not worried that he would suffer any loss. Qin Xuan glanced at Ye Mei and chuckled, "If I had a child with Ye Mei, would you recognize it?"
Ms. Li said angrily, "I look down on your wife because she has a low education and is not mature enough to shoulder the responsibility of being the mistress of our family. It doesn't mean that I won't recognize the child she gave birth to. Why shouldn't I recognize my own grandson? Send the child back to me after it is born and I will raise him. He must not be the same as you."
Ms. Li's words made Ye Mei feel more at ease. At least the Qin family approved of her child.
"Ye Mei's situation doesn't seem that bad. Qin Xuan's mother is such a strong woman. It would be easy to drive her away. She just doesn't agree and won't get involved."
"She is willing to raise her grandchildren, which means she will give them the inheritance rights. Ye Mei has nothing to worry about."
"If I were Ye Mei, I would also be willing to give birth to ten or eight of him. This mother-in-law is pretty good. She doesn't object even if he doesn't like her, and she doesn't interfere at all."
"So those girlfriends of Young Master Qin really lost out. Ye Mei is the lucky one."
Ye Mei thought so too. She couldn't help but touch her belly. Judging from the current situation, having a baby is the top priority.
Qin Xuan had just hung up the phone with his mother when Zou Junkai's phone rang. He forgot to set it to silent mode, and the ringtone made everyone look at him.
He said awkwardly: "Sorry, it was my mom who called."
Xiao Jie said calmly, "That's great, answer the call quickly."
Zou Junkai couldn't refuse, so he had to answer the call and pressed the speakerphone. As soon as the call was connected, his mother asked sharply, "What's wrong with Wang Lele? Is she trying to rebel?"
