Gu Zhi made a sound, hesitantly opened her mouth, "Dad, Mom."
In the original script, Father Qin and Mrs. Qin were very simple and kind people who always treated the main character as their own daughter and truly cared for her.
Gu Zhi herself grew up without a father and mother, this was the first time she called out these two names outside of a play.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Mrs. Qin's aged eyes filled with tears, which almost instantly fell.
Her gaze lingered on Gu Zhi's upper body, seeing that she had lost a lot of weight, she felt even more heartache, "You guys are..."
Gu Zhi explained, "I have a program where I need to bring you along for recording, pack up a little, and just pretend you're going out with me for two days."
"You're taking us on a program? No, no, your dad and I don't know anything about being on shows, we won't go so as not to embarrass you..."
"So you plan to let me go alone?" Gu Zhi was amused, "This is a parent-child show, everyone else is bringing their parents, what sense does it make for me to go alone?"
"But..." Wasn't she supposed to record with her parents from the Gu Family...
After all, the other side was wealthy, unlike them, just ordinary workers. Going on TV with her would only embarrass her.
"No buts, delaying the director will deduct the money." Gu Zhi knew Mrs. Qin's concerns and was too lazy to explain, raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's go in first."
Father Qin and Mrs. Qin hesitated for a moment and said nothing more, inviting them inside.
Father Qin hurriedly poured a few cups of water, Mrs. Qin patted the non-existent dust on the sofa with her hand, cautiously inviting, "Sit, sit down, don't mind."
Everyone was surprised by Mrs. Qin's humble attitude and waved their hands embarrassedly, "Aunt and uncle, don't mind us, we're working, just pretend we're not here."
The two honest and simple people didn't know what to say, just looked nervously and helplessly at Gu Zhi.
The PD moved the camera to the living room.
The Qin Family's place was small, a living room of over twenty square meters, filled with clutter, chipped old-fashioned furniture, a worn old sofa...
There were only two rooms in total, visible at a glance.
Their luggage was also minimal, two sets of clothes for a change, a pair of shoes.
They didn't even have a suitcase, just an old, worn denim bag to fit their belongings.
Gu Zhi frowned as she watched from the side, the Qin Family was really poor, no wonder the protagonist was unwilling to come back.
The bullet screen was in an uproar.
[??? This is Gu Zhi's home? So poor?]
[? Show me how rich your family is?]
[Laughing to death, didn't she claim to be the daughter of the Gu Family? Is this the life of a heiress? A slum heiress, huh?]
[Do you have any sense, is it funny to mock someone? The cautious look of Gu Zhi's dad and mom is really heartbreaking.]
[Serves her right, having the face to claim to be a heiress, looking down on poverty to the point of not acknowledging her parents, if I were her parents, I'd die of anger!]
[Honestly, I came today to see Gu Zhi's joke, but she suddenly seemed so honest, and so beautiful, I couldn't laugh at all /shy]
The PD was also bewildered, he thought he'd see a tearing drama today.
Didn't expect this side of things.
But Gu Zhi didn't look at the bullet screen, nor did she care, after helping Father Qin and Mrs. Qin pack, they were ready to set off.
Mrs. Qin nervously held onto Gu Zhi's hand, worriedly asked, "Zhi Zhi, is it really okay?"
Gu Zhi was stunned for a moment, looked back at her, smiled, "Don't worry, I'll handle it well."
It turned out, this was a mother's hand, very rough, but quite warm.
Over here, Gu Zhi and her party officially set off to the filming location.
Meanwhile, several messages suddenly popped up in the Qin Family's group chat.
Qin Zheng: [???!!!]
Qin Zheng: [Zhi Zhi is back home!!!]
*
At 2 p.m., six families arrived one after another at the seaside villa designated by the program team.
Jiang Xiangwan's and Han Liheng's families had arrived early.
The families of Qi Yunlin and Gu Yiyi arrived together.
The two families knew each other, with business dealings, they were already acquaintances.
Qi Yunlin immediately ran over to Gu Yiyi as soon as he got out of the car, diligently helping the Gu Family with their luggage.
Gu Yiyi, in a light blue dress, stood beside the handsome Qi Yunlin, looking like a sweet little princess.
The bullet screen was abuzz with admiration.
[Ahhhh meeting the parents, meeting the parents!!! I'm rooting for the Lin Yi couple!!!]
[I'm dead, real couples are the best! Somehow it feels like all the other families are here to attend Yiyi and Director Qi's wedding, how fat is it.]
[Gentle reminder: a certain opportunist is on the way. Such a beautiful scene is about to be ruined /shrug]
[cnm Gu Zhi can you just leave, seeing her makes me not want to watch the show!]
[Is there something wrong with the bullet screen, Gu Zhi hasn't even arrived yet, and she's being cursed?]
[Above, hasn't Gu Zhi done enough in the past? Can't believe there are still people defending Gu Zhi these days 666.]
After entering, the families greeted each other.
Jiang Xiangwan, a girl group idol, had a bit of fame and her sweet and cute appearance was particularly popular.
Her parents were both musicians, with an artistic vibe.
Han Liheng was a boy group idol, debuted on the same program as Gu Yiyi, her junior, a standard fresh-faced idol, singing and dancing star, looking to transition into acting after two years, known for being straightforward, a dumb handsome guy.
His parents were businessmen, seeing the Gu Family and Qi Family arrive, they proactively went to greet them.
Mr. Gu held a thermos cup behind his back, exuding the aura of a business mogul, talking effortlessly.
Qi Yunlin's mother, Qi Qiongyu, was more famously a strong woman in the business world, from the top of the four major families in Beijing, the Qi Family, with a strong presence.
Along with Qi Yunlin and Gu Yiyi's top-tier status in the industry, the two families were undoubtedly the center of attention for everyone.
[Gu Dad's aura is so strong, he's like the CEO dad from a drama, our Yiyi is undoubtedly a princess.]
[Both Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Gu are so elegant, by the way, isn't Director Qi's mom the sister of Emperor Qi!]
[Reply to above: Ahhh yes, it's my sister and nephew! Please support my family sister and nephew~]
[Wake up upstairs, how much have you drunk? But Gu Yiyi and Qi Yunlin really are well-matched!! Handsome and beautiful couple is really enjoyable!]
[No wonder someone wants to replace Yiyi, clinging to Gu Dad, tying to create a CP with Director Qi, do they even realize parents this elegant would have a daughter like her? Her parents are at most just migrant workers :)]
Jiang Xiangwan poured each person a glass of water and casually asked, "Teacher Sun Chaohua and Teacher Gu Zhi haven't arrived yet, do you know where they are?"
Upon hearing the name Gu Zhi, Qi Yunlin frowned.
Han Liheng, a fan of Gu Yiyi, couldn't help but mock thinking about Gu Zhi's infamous antics in the industry: "Dare Gu Zhi come? Everyone online is waiting to see her joke, I'd like to see just how thick-skinned she is."
Jiang Xiangwan: "..."
Han·Topic Terminator·Liheng.
[Hahaha Han Liheng is so direct, whatever he wants to say, he really dares to say it.]
[Is this directness? This is rudeness, isn't it?]
[...Baby mom, I'm begging you, just shut up.]
Mr. Gu scoffed, turned his back to the camera, lowered his voice, and asked Gu Yiyi, "Where's Gu Zhi? Didn't she ask your mom to accompany her on the show? What mischief is she planning again?"
Gu Yiyi shook her head, she hadn't heard anything, "Dad, don't say that, Zhi Zhi is also your daughter, why don't you let the brothers accompany her for the recording..."
"Don't bother with her, no recording, it's just embarrassing."
Mr. Gu's face turned dark blue, scolding with anger and resentment.
Gu Yiyi pursed her lips and said no more.
Just at that moment, there was the sound of a car outside; Gu Zhi and Sun Chaohua's families happened to arrive together.
Sun Chaohua was the oldest among the entertainers, a seasoned actor, known for playing many classic roles, highly respected in the industry.
His parents were ordinary people and the oldest too.
Upon hearing he arrived, several people went to welcome him.
As they went out, they saw Gu Zhi at the door, along with Father Qin and Mrs. Qin beside her.
Everyone was stunned.
Han Liheng looked dumbfounded: "Who is this???"
Looks so beautiful!!?
