The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family

Chapter 57: Dear Family



Chapter 57

The reality show "Dear Family" goes live.

At 7 AM, the number of viewers flooding into the livestream was already threatening to crash the broadcasting equipment.

Director Xu watched the rapidly increasing viewer count with a mix of excitement and worry, silently praying that the equipment would hold up.

This reality show used a combination of live broadcasting and recorded footage. The recorded segments would be edited and released after the live broadcast ended. The livestream was divided into five channels, each corresponding to one of the five celebrity guests.

Director Xu would be following the Jing Zejun family.

[They're here! I'm here to see the wealthy elite!]

[7 AM? Is live streaming this competitive now?]

[Hurry! Let me see what the Hengjing CEO looks like!]

[Zejun! Zejun! I'm here!]

[So many people!]

[I'm here to see the real vs. fake heiress!]

Even though it was only 7 AM, the live chat was already scrolling frantically.

While the netizens were still chatting, the screen came to life. The recording team got out of their vehicles and entered the gates of the Jing family estate.

[Was that just the gate?!]

[Am I seeing things, or did we walk for ages without seeing a house? This place is huge!]

[My imagination was too conservative!]

[We're here! We've reached the courtyard!]

Soon enough, the viewers caught sight of the courtyard ahead. Following a central path through the courtyard, they could see a three-story villa in the distance.

The path was lined with numerous exquisite sculptures, welcoming guests all the way to the villa, which sat at the very center of the courtyard, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding greenery.

At this point, the live chat quieted down a bit, stunned by the expansive courtyard.

[This yard... it would take me half an hour just to walk across it.]

[I think half an hour might be an underestimate...]

[Look, I can accept that rich people live in spacious homes, but this courtyard is too much!]

[It's quite English in style.]

The sound of knocking echoed, and viewers waited in anticipation, wondering who would be the first person to appear on screen.

A middle-aged man appeared: it was Uncle Li.

"Good morning, everyone."

He welcomed the director and crew inside. Director Xu quickly arranged for all the equipment to be connected, and the Jing family's reality show officially began!

Viewers started admiring the villa's decor, and since they hadn't seen any of the Jing family members yet, the live chat began discussing Uncle Li's identity.

[Who was that just now?]

[Judging by his clothes and demeanor, he must be the butler, right?]

[Huh? I thought he was Jing Zejun's father?]

[Don't be ridiculous! He's clearly a professional butler.]

While the chat was still discussing, Jing Zeyou had already come down the stairs.

Uncle Li walked to his side and bowed slightly, "Young Master."

"Are we starting already?" Jing Zeyou glanced at his watch; it was a bit earlier than he had expected.

Director Xu felt a bit awkward. They had indeed arrived half an hour early, but the live chat had been so intense that he feared the equipment wouldn't hold up if they didn't start showing some footage soon.

This was usually the time when Jing Zeyou had breakfast, but he suddenly remembered that Aunt Wang had gone home to rest.

Jing Zeyou's hand paused as he was buttoning his jacket. It looked like he'd have to have breakfast at the office.

By now, the live chat had become chaotic, with Jing Zeyou's name and occupation displayed on the screen.

[So this is the CEO of Hengjing? He's so handsome!]

[I thought domineering CEOs only existed in fiction!]

[Wow! He looks so dashing in a suit!]

[What? Is he leaving already?! No way, I've only been watching for a few minutes!]

[Huh? He's going to work? I guess even world-famous CEOs have to clock in on time.]

Although Jing Zeyou hadn't said a word, Director Xu looked at the lively chat and then back at Jing Zeyou, who was already preparing to leave, his eyes full of admiration. Some people were captivating just by standing there.

While the netizens were still immersed in Jing Zeyou's aura, Jing Zejun had finished preparing and was surprised to see the director and crew already in the living room. Wasn't it supposed to be 7:30?

However, due to her professional demeanor, Jing Zejun quickly adjusted and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Good morning, everyone."

[Ah! Good morning, Zejun!]

[Zejun!]

[General Nine Songs!]

[So this is the recently found heiress of the wealthy family?]

[She's so lucky to be the long-lost heiress of a rich family!]

[...I don't think it's lucky for Jing Zejun or her family.]

Soon after, Jing Zeqian also came downstairs, causing the live chat to go wild once again.

'Jing Zeqian, CEO of Startrack Entertainment'

[I know! I know! He's the boss of the famous actor Wen!]

[Wow! The boss and the actor on the same reality show, the director is so clever!]

[He's so handsome! Feels like a completely different type from his older brother.]

Compared to Jing Zeyou's steadiness, Jing Zeqian's roguish charm seemed to be more popular with the netizens.

He was clearly aware of his appeal, flashing a smile at the camera as he greeted everyone.

Seeing the frenzied live chat, Jing Zejun's first thought was: Yiyi would definitely mock this if she saw it, and probably watch it repeatedly until her second brother felt embarrassed...

"What are we having for breakfast?" Jing Zeqian looked at the empty dining room and suddenly remembered that Aunt Wang had gone home to rest.

It seemed that no one in the house knew how to cook.

Jing Zejun had checked the refrigerator earlier and found that Aunt Wang had prepared some ready-to-eat meals for them. They just needed to be heated up, and maybe they could fry some eggs?

About ten minutes later, Jing Zeqian looked at the food on the table and thought it looked quite presentable.

"Not bad, Junjun!"

[Isn't there supposed to be another girl?]

[Isn't it obvious? They just don't care about her.]

[So the fake heiress isn't very popular, huh?]

[This exclusion couldn't be more obvious.]

[Well, she's the one who forced her way in!]

Director Xu frowned as he read the live chat, surprised that after all this time, everyone's attention was still focused on Jing Yi.

Speak of the devil.

The sound of footsteps from upstairs made Jing Zeqian and Jing Zejun turn their heads.

Jing Zeqian was surprised. He hadn't heard wrong, had he? Jing Yiyi was up before 8 AM?

The screen promptly displayed her identity, which made the live chat even more lively.

[Jing Yi? This doesn't look like they're family at all!]

[Haha, I didn't expect her name to be the first defeat.]

[She's completely an outsider!]

[I can already imagine how awkward this is going to be!]

After seeing Jing Yi come downstairs, Jing Zejun brought out the toast and eggs she had fried for her, placing them at Jing Yi's usual seat.

"What a rare sight! Our Jing Yiyi actually got up early. Junjun, quick, send a telegram to Mom and Dad, this needs to be recorded as a major family event!" Jing Zeqian picked up a piece of toast, teasing.

Jing Zejun's lips curved into a smile, her eyes filled with gentle affection.

Jing Yi secretly glared at him, not daring to be too brazen in front of the cameras.

Jing Yi smiled sweetly at Jing Zejun, "Thank you, Junjun. Did you make this?"

"I just fried a couple of eggs and toasted some bread. Aunt Wang prepared everything else earlier."

"That's still impressive, unlike some people."

Jing Yi took a big bite of the toast, finding it crispy and delicious. Her attention was immediately drawn to the bread.

Jing Zeqian glared back at her, as if certain people weren't just eating what was prepared for them.
