Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Great-Grandma Has Arrived

The countdown to the start of filming for the show *Qing Qing Wo Wo* had begun.

Unlike previous seasons, this entire season would be livestreamed on Mango TV and other major platforms.

At 11:20 AM, the production team was already starting preparations.

The celebrities and guests hadn’t arrived yet, so the cameras went live early, broadcasting some real-time footage and explaining the main schedule.

The first day of recording was in Binhai City, not far from Beijing City. Guests would be arriving soon, with each one deciding on their own entrance.

After their entrances, the guests would be seated on the beach to enjoy the sea breeze and eat seafood, giving them a chance to get to know each other and the surroundings in preparation for the upcoming shoot.

After the meal, they would board a cruise ship and head abroad, kicking off the show’s seven-day filming journey.

At 11:30 AM, the guests began to arrive one by one.

The first to arrive was Zhou Lun, dressed in a form-fitting, tight outfit that highlighted his toned physique.

His hair looked a bit messy, but every strand was meticulously styled, creating a look that was both precise and rebelliously carefree.

The moment he stepped out of the van, he immediately took off his jacket and flexed for the camera, causing a wave of screams from the viewers watching the stream.

The second to appear was Meng Xiaoxiao, known in the entertainment world as the “Demon Concubine.”

Meng Xiaoxiao had foxy features, with a pair of captivating, fox-like eyes. She wore a V-neck gown, its hem fluttering in the sea breeze, making her look radiant and enchanting.

She also arrived in a van, but because the shoot was on the beach, the vehicle couldn’t drive all the way in.

Her high heels made it difficult to walk, so she simply took them off and strolled across the sand with a smile.

As she walked, she tripped on something.

She crouched down to look, digging around in the sand, and eventually pulled out a large pearl—and it was real.

The live comments instantly erupted:

[She really is a lucky woman. No matter where she goes, luck is on her side!]

[Damn, I’m so jealous. She can find a pearl in the sand just by taking a few steps.]

[I envy Xiao Xiao! I wish I could just find pearls anywhere, then I wouldn’t be so poor!]

[Did Xiao Xiao seduce the God of Wealth or something? So jealous, so jealous!]

[I feel like the production team planted that in the sand on purpose, just to reinforce Meng Xiaoxiao’s ’lucky’ persona!]

[Whoever said that has clearly never watched Meng Xiaoxiao’s livestreams. She once almost got hit by a car, but the car stopped by itself. She just has insanely good luck, okay?]

Meng Xiaoxiao felt a little helpless. ’Being blessed by the heavens is so annoying. My luck is too good; I’m the center of attention no matter where I go.’

She handed the pearl to the production team, gathered her dress, and sat down at the table to greet Zhou Lun.

Seeing that the person sitting across from him had a higher status in the industry, Zhou Lun quickly stood up to welcome her.

Not long after, the award-winning actor Sun Yingbin arrived.

His entrance was very simple: he arrived on foot.

Because he had recently become the brand ambassador for Willer, he needed to show off the clothes he was wearing for the camera.

So, even on the show, he had to promote this outfit.

He was currently wearing an indigo tuxedo, striding across the sand.

Although he was older, he exuded a gentle and refined aura that left the viewers in awe.

As his juniors, Zhou Lun and Meng Xiaoxiao quickly stood up to greet him respectfully.

Next up was Zhao Jing, Mango TV’s top female host.

She had actually been the first to arrive but had disguised herself as a staff member. She was recognized while handing out water to the guests, at which point she smiled and greeted everyone.

As the host of *Qing Qing Wo Wo*, Zhao Jing chatted with the guests for a bit to liven things up before asking, “That’s strange, why aren’t the two from Yuanqi Entertainment here yet?”

Only then did everyone realize that two people were missing.

Zhou Lun pointed at the sky and said with a laugh, “Maybe the sun’s too bright, and they’re too ashamed to show their faces.”

The other guests immediately understood and burst out laughing.

Only Sun Yingbin, who didn’t really follow Weibo, didn’t get the joke. “What do you mean?” he asked.

Zhou Lun grinningly recounted how Shen Zhiyao had predicted that the first day of the show’s broadcast would be a disaster.

Sun Yingbin was a bit surprised after hearing the story. He looked up at the sky beyond the sunshade and then checked the time. “It’ll be noon in half an hour, but there’s really no sign of rain.”

Although there was no sign of rain, a RUMBLING sound suddenly filled the air.

Everyone turned to look and saw a private jet in the sky.

A photo of Shen Zhiyao was hanging beneath the plane, flanked by two banners that read:

“A thunderous roar in the sky, the Matriarch makes her dazzling debut!”

It was as ostentatious as it could possibly be.

The guests on site were all stunned by the scene. The entrance was just too over-the-top.

The private jet landed on the beach. A long line of men in suits and sunglasses immediately disembarked, rolled out a red carpet, and then bowed low, shouting, “We respectfully welcome the Matriarch to disembark!”

Every single one of the guests was left dumbfounded.

The viewers at home found it too cringey to watch, and a stream of ellipses floated across the live comments.

Shen Zhiyao also felt very awkward.

Jin Fan had said he would arrange a grand entrance for her, and she hadn’t given it much thought at the time.

But she never expected Jin Fan to arrange a private jet. Seeing that she was running out of time, Shen Zhiyao had accepted his kind offer.

Who knew that when the plane reached the beach, it would also be displaying her photo and a banner.

Seriously, it was cringey beyond belief.

Even someone as habitually calm as Shen Zhiyao felt a little awkward.

Since it had come to this, no matter how awkward she felt, Shen Zhiyao had to bite the bullet, step onto the red carpet, and walk calmly to the sunshade on the beach.

Zhao Jing hurried over to greet Shen Zhiyao, then asked quizzically, “This afternoon, we’re supposed to board a cruise ship for a seven-day journey to Country Z for filming. We all brought luggage. Where’s yours?”

Shen Zhiyao was only carrying a single bag—the one she had bought for 9.9 yuan with free shipping.

She pointed to her cloth bag and said, “It’s just for an hour. No need to bring so much stuff.”

Hearing Shen Zhiyao’s words, Zhou Lun laughed. “Miss Shen, you can’t be serious? It’s a perfectly clear day, and you’re still stubbornly insisting that it’s going to rain and hail, and that our production will have to stop filming?”

Shen Zhiyao nodded matter-of-factly. “Yes.”

The guests on set almost burst out laughing. ’The sun is shining brightly; how could it possibly look like it’s about to rain? And she still thinks it will?’

But they were on camera, so they had to maintain their personas. No matter how much they wanted to laugh, they had to hold it in.

Just then, the last guest, Zhou Ye, arrived.

Although he was wearing the most fashionable clothes and had an exquisite hairstyle.

But between the arrival of the award-winning actor and Shen Zhiyao’s awkward entrance, his own was completely overshadowed.

By comparison, his entrance seemed rather plain and unremarkable, so much so that Zhao Jing had even forgotten there was one more guest.

Zhou Ye tried his best to strike a handsome pose for the camera, but no one on set paid him any attention.

After finishing his pose, Zhou Ye’s gaze fell on Shen Zhiyao.

But Shen Zhiyao didn’t even spare him a glance, her eyes fixed instead on Meng Xiaoxiao.

For a moment, Zhou Ye felt a pang of disappointment. ’She used to love me so much, but now she can’t even be bothered to look my way…’
