Who would have thought that after marrying into the Zhan family, Gu Nanyan would be so pampered?
Feng Chengxi felt a mix of amazement and envy.
In Feng Chengxi's eyes, apart from her good looks, Gu Nanyan had nothing special about her. She had a poor personality, mediocre talents, and was excessively vain. If not for her vanity and desire for quick success, she wouldn't have stooped to the level of trying to scam a top celebrity.
Zhou Qinian was the cream of the crop among celebrities, with over 100 million fans and formidable influence. Most of his fans were devoted female admirers.
Of all people, Gu Nanyan chose to try and scam Zhou Qinian. She was nearly torn to shreds by angry netizens.
What a brainless move!
However, who could deny her good fortune? Not only did she marry into the top-tier Zhan family, but she was also adored beyond measure by the family members.
Gu Nanyan must have saved the entire universe in her past life!
Upon reaching Gu Nanyan's door.
"Knock, knock, knock." Aunt Qian tapped three times.
From inside came Gu Nanyan's cool voice, "Come in."
Aunt Qian gently pushed open the door, gesturing for Feng Chengxi to enter, while she herself took a step back, not intending to go in.
Feng Chengxi was taken aback. She hadn't expected Gu Nanyan to put on such airs. Indeed, marrying into a wealthy family had changed her.
This wouldn't do. She was already headstrong and disobedient before, and now with this newfound attitude, she'd be even harder to manage.
Feng Chengxi made a mental note to have a serious talk with her later.
However, upon entering, she was met with a face of extraordinary beauty.
Bare-faced, with exquisite features, Gu Nanyan merely raised her eyes and gave Feng Chengxi a cool, indifferent glance. It was enough to make Feng Chengxi's breath catch, overwhelmed by the sheer presence before her.
Was this really Gu Nanyan?
It was the same face, yet before it had seemed so ordinary. Now, she looked like a divine fairy.
Had she taken some sort of celestial elixir?
Feng Chengxi couldn't believe her eyes.
"Ms. Feng, the contract." Gu Nanyan extended her hand, and Feng Chengxi snapped back to reality, hurriedly producing the contract and handing it over.
Gu Nanyan took the contract, gave it a cursory glance, and signed her name at the bottom.
Seeing Gu Nanyan sign the contract, Feng Chengxi quickly brought up the matter of the pilot episode. "We're running out of time. We need to hurry and set up. Have you decided where to film?"
"Right here."
"Here, in the Zhan Family Courtyard?" Feng Chengxi's eyes widened.
"Yes, right here," Gu Nanyan nodded.
Feng Chengxi was so shocked her jaw nearly dropped. She stammered, "W-won't the Zhan family object?"
After all, the Zhan Family Courtyard had never been exposed to the media before. Wealthy families were very protective of their privacy.
Gu Nanyan hadn't considered this point. She was simply too lazy to bother going elsewhere. Hearing Feng Chengxi's concern, she realized the impropriety.
"You have a point," Gu Nanyan stood up and led Feng Chengxi downstairs.
Seeing Gu Nanyan come down, Zhan Yiran immediately approached her. "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
"Does the Zhan family have any vacant houses?" Gu Nanyan inquired.
Zhan Yiran nodded, "Yes, we do. Why do you ask, sister-in-law?"
Gu Nanyan turned her gaze to Feng Chengxi, who immediately understood her intention and hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "It's like this. The production team wants to shoot a pilot episode. Sister Nanyan is worried about exposing the privacy of the Zhan Family Courtyard, so she's thinking of finding a house outside to film."
"How can that be?" Zhan Yiran was the first to object. "Nowhere is as comfortable as home. Sister-in-law can't be inconvenienced."
Zhan's Mother also nodded in agreement: "That's right, just film here. What does privacy matter? Nothing is more important than Yanyan."
Feng Chengxi: "..."
How doting!
And so, the matter was settled.
The online promotion for "Extreme Running" was in full swing, and the list of guests was announced.
As soon as the guest list was published, it caused an uproar on the internet.
Netizens were both shocked and outraged.
[How can Gu Nanyan be there? Hasn't that bitch been kicked out of the entertainment industry yet?]
[Boycott! Boycott Gu Nanyan! If she's in it, I won't watch!]
[I'm boycotting too. How can a vicious woman like Gu Nanyan participate in such a big variety show? My Wanwan worked so hard, and her agency exchanged so many resources with Lemon TV just to participate. What right does Gu Nanyan have? She has poor character and no works to her name. Why did the show invite her?]
Of course, not all voices were radically opposed. There were also some rational voices.
[Everyone, calm down. The show must have a reason for inviting Gu Nanyan. Don't forget, Gu Nanyan married into the Zhan family. I heard there's even going to be a pilot episode filmed in the Zhan Family Courtyard.]
[Is that true? That's the Zhan Family Courtyard we're talking about. It's never been shown to the public before.]
[That's right, everyone stay calm. With Gu Nanyan's terrible character, she won't last more than a few episodes. She might even be eliminated in the first round. Let's not worry about her. The main thing is to take this chance to see the Zhan Family Courtyard.]
Soon, three days passed, and it was time to film the pilot episode. Thanks to the show's effective promotion, as soon as the live stream began, a large number of viewers flooded in. Most of them headed straight for Gu Nanyan's livestream room.
However, they weren't there to see Gu Nanyan, but to see the Zhan Family Courtyard.
As the livestream started, the show's director led the production team to the Zhan Family Courtyard. At this point, Gu Nanyan was still not visible.
Viewers began sending barrages of comments:
[I don't want to see that green tea b*tch Gu Nanyan. She's so vulgar and annoying. Production team, please film her as little as possible later. I'm afraid it'll hurt my eyes. Also, show more of the Zhan Family Courtyard. I'm so curious what it looks like.]
[Agree, less Gu Nanyan, more Zhan Family Courtyard.]
[Less Gu Nanyan, more Zhan Family Courtyard +1]
[Less Gu Nanyan, more Zhan Family Courtyard +2]
...
[+10086]
Soon, they arrived at the Zhan Family Courtyard. As soon as the 5A-level scenic spot-like courtyard came into view, it captivated all the viewers watching the livestream.
[It's so beautiful.]
[It's stunning. Is this paradise?]
The production team didn't film for too long, just a quick sweep before heading indoors.
It was only 4 AM, but the Zhan Family Courtyard was already brightly lit. All the servants were busy, packing things for Gu Nanyan.
The viewers, having never seen so many servants before, were all dumbfounded. They couldn't help but marvel at the true nature of a wealthy family.
The camera soon arrived on the third floor, and the director knocked on the bedroom door.
This part was quite boring, and the viewers were all clamoring.
[This is boring. We don't want to see Gu Nanyan. Production team, show more of the Zhan Family Courtyard. You barely showed anything.]
[Exactly, what's so interesting about waking up? All the other livestreams are the same, everyone with messy hair, looking like they just got out of bed. It's not interesting. We've seen it so many times already.]
The director knocked several times without response. Just as he was about to knock again, a servant ran over and said softly, "Madam is already up. She's doing her morning exercises in the backyard."
[Morning exercises? Haha, this Gu Nanyan is really putting on an act. Is she trying to whitewash her image and set up an energetic young girl persona?]
[I bet that's it. She's such an attention seeker. Everyone else is still sleeping and just getting up, but she has to be different. She's really desperate for fame.]
[I bet she's wearing workout clothes, with a high ponytail, pretending to jog.]
[Agreed.]
[Agreed.]
[Hurry up, production team, get to the backyard quick. I can't wait anymore.]
The production team quickly moved to the backyard. As soon as they arrived, a tall horse came straight towards them. Just as everyone was scared out of their wits, the woman on the horse tightened the reins. With a neigh, the white horse reared up on its hind legs.
Everyone's gaze followed the horse upwards, and they saw Gu Nanyan atop it, dressed in a red riding outfit, her hair tied up in a high bun.
With her jet-black hair and sculpted eyebrows, her beauty was as sharp as a knife, piercing into everyone's eyes.
This time, whether it was the production team or the viewers in the livestream, they all had only one thought.
— Oh my god, sister, slay me!!!
