The fourth group of guests are Chu Wei and her mom. Chu Wei is the new-generation original music queen in the domestic music scene and a soon-to-be freshman at China's top music academy. Her mom, Chuyun, was once a legendary queen in the music industry. Chu Wei has clearly inherited her mother's career path.
The mother and daughter pair wore matching outfits: white sun hats, avocado green sun-protection jackets over white tank tops, white pants paired with white sneakers.
[Goddess Chuyun truly defies aging. She's in her forties but still looks like a young girl in her twenties. Anyone who doesn't know them might mistake her for Chu Wei's sister.]
[How clueless can Chu Wei's dad be? Goddess Chuyun married him when her career was soaring, and yet that Phoenix man had the audacity to cheat on her during her postpartum recovery!]
[Fortunately, Goddess Chuyun is bold and decisive. She didn't hesitate to throw out evidence of the scumbag's cheating and got divorced, leaving him with nothing!]
[Thankfully, Weiwei and Brother Kai both strive to uphold their family legacy as stellar second-generation stars.]
[Hold up, stop discussing legacy stars for now and check out Chu Xi! I never thought the entertainment industry would hide a super-rich second-generation heir! Scratch that, the word doesn't quite fit — she's practically a conglomerate heiress!]
This comment immediately grabbed the attention of netizens. Heads turned to see Chu Xi walking gracefully alongside a rich, elegant-looking lady.
Chu Xi wore her hair in a high ponytail, dressed in a soft lavender Chanel-inspired suit, paired with white lace-up ankle boots and a sweet, innocent "first-love" face — an adorable little princess through-and-through.
The elegant lady, Li Sulan, wore a modern Chinese-inspired style: a black silk blouse with jade pendants, a sleek floral vintage half-slit skirt, holding an exquisite emerald-colored handbag.
[Above commenter, I didn't peg Chu Xi as some rich heiress. I just searched for her and her mom's outfits and they don't seem to be international luxury brands.]
[+1. By the way, Chu Xi isn't much more than a niche sidekick queen. Her fame peaked this year only because she landed a popular drama, but even then, she was barely the third female lead. If she were truly a conglomerate heiress, she could buy herself a lead role without even breaking a sweat!]
[Okay, let's just cut to the chase. Guys, search for Chu Tian in Imperial Capital.]
[Finance guy dropping some knowledge bombs: Chu Tian ranks second on the Imperial Capital billionaire list and 48th globally. The wealthy lady next to Chu Xi is Li Sulan, Chu Tian's wife. They reportedly have a daughter who's never been publicly revealed. You'll find details in the latest issue of Business World magazine, including an exclusive interview with Chu Tian and his family photo.]
[Fashion designer touching on why you didn't find them: Completely normal! Their clothes are high-end custom couture — globally unique and one-of-a-kind pieces!]
[Holy crap, is Chu Xi really this loaded?]
[Cue dramatic explosion sound effects — Chu Xi steps out in sparkling brilliance! Bow down to Eldest Miss Chu!]
[My jaw just hit the floor. Can rich people really be this low-key?]
[Seems like we've got another dream-chaser in the entertainment world who could rely on her dad but chooses hard-earned merit instead.]
[Okay, that's great and all, but this is supposed to be a pastoral countryside show. Isn't their choice of attire just a tad inappropriate?]
[Relax, it's just a show. Stop over-analyzing. You seriously expect a conglomerate wife and heir to wear headscarves and aprons? Spare me!]
[I have a sneaking suspicion the production team is stirring the pot — arranging this guest order intentionally to target Sang Ning?]
Sang Ning's family was the last to appear. Sang Ning wore a fitted white crop top paired with denim shorts, her former waist-length curly waves freshly cut into a sharp, chin-length bob haircut.
[Is it just me, or is Sang Ning's choice of outfit completely out of character? Whenever she appeared on other shows, she'd be dolled up in formal attire — heels were practically her trademark. And now she shows up wearing something this plain, without even makeup?!]
[You must be blind. This is clearly "no-makeup" makeup.]
[Does anyone remember that stunning beauty who accidentally went on Sang Family's livestream yesterday? Call me crazy, but I think that was Sang Ning herself!]
[No way. The livestream beauty had gorgeous long curls. Sang Ning's bird's nest-like short haircut couldn't possibly compare. Their vibes are worlds apart!]
Netizens launched into heated debates over whether Sang Ning was the livestream beauty. A particularly influential troll, an aesthetics blogger with millions of followers, chimed in, claiming she'd analyze the two's facial features to settle this argument once and for all.
Ultimately, after all her technical comparisons, even the troll started questioning her analysis – they were undeniably the same person. Once every single detail was posted online, netizens collectively paused in stunned silence.
Why on earth did Sang Ning cut her hair?
To make matters worse, even the trolls couldn't criticize Sang Ning's looks anymore — they themselves had called her "drop-dead gorgeous" just yesterday.
Yesterday's loose-fitting clothes had concealed her figure, but today's outfit revealed her stunning physique in all its glory.
Perfect proportions — slender waist, toned curves, a towering height of 172 cm that overshadowed all the other female guests. Her long legs gleamed pale and straight, resulting in a blemish-free image ratified by everyone.
Faced with no valid arguments to fault Sang Ning's appearance, trolls shifted their focus towards her family instead.
[Sure, she looks perfect now, but it's all pointless considering the Sang Family are complete losers. If I were Sang Ning, I'd be too ashamed to even show up for this program. Especially when compared with Chu Xi's family. Doesn't the Sang Family feel embarrassed?]
[Wow, your disdain for the poor couldn't be any clearer. Listen, Sang Ning's family background wasn't something she could choose. The fact that she stood tall despite facing scathing ridicule yesterday and still brought her family along for today's shoot makes me her die-hard fan!]
[Oh, please. Who's to say she isn't using her family as pity bait? All the other guests brought suitcases, but take a look at what Sang Family brought — a snakeskin bag. Can you believe a celebrity doesn't even own a carry-on suitcase? It's just ridiculously fake!]
Every piece of luggage for the Sang Family was stuffed into a large, bright red snakeskin bag, carried by none other than Sang Ning's unfortunate younger brother.
Sang Chuan wore a black tracksuit, his straight back literally bent into a hunched posture under the bag's crushing weight.
If Sang Ning saw these comments, she'd surely cry foul. It wasn't that she wanted to keep up appearances or act humble — she really was broke.
The original owner of her fame had lived with the Chu Family, owning no actual properties, and the earnings from her acting career weren't even sufficient to buy herself luxury handbags. All her expenses had been covered by Chu Tian.
After cutting ties with the Chu Family, Sang Ning rejected further financial support from Chu Tian and was left burdened with over ten thousand in credit card debts. At this point, she couldn't even afford a suitcase — officially flat broke.
For the recording session, she had run to a roadside stall to buy two cheap outfits for barely a hundred bucks, using up all her remaining balances.
The Sang Family itself wasn't doing any better. Sang Youming and Hu Zhi lacked stable jobs, surviving on part-time gigs while raising two children. Their income barely covered essentials, let alone luxuries. The only piece of luggage in their home was that scrappy snakeskin bag costing just 10 bucks.
