The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Inside the live stream, watching the five families staring at each other in disbelief, the audience went wild with laughter.

[Hahaha, this is hilarious! Buying lunch ingredients for two people for just one yuan? This production team is so stingy!]

I'm really curious, what are these people planning to buy?

I suddenly remembered that legendary little story.

[Haha, I also thought of that story, except the story only required filling a room, while this time it's about making an edible lunch.]

Is it possible that the northwest wind counts as a meal?

[Hahaha, if that's the case, then soil can count too, so we don't even need to spend money.]

[Actually, it's not a big deal for others, just missing a meal, but Ye Linyuan and Ye Qingcheng from the Ye family are both young masters and ladies who live a life of luxury. What are they going to do?]

[It's not just them, but also the two Luo sisters. I just checked, and the Luo Group is one of the leading conglomerates in the capital, with reportedly total assets exceeding 3 trillion yuan, and it's not even publicly listed. They're used to a life of luxury, so it seems they'll be in trouble for lunch today too.]

[Not necessarily. Look at Ye Linyuan and Luo Qingyue; neither of them seems troubled. They only exude confidence, which suggests they've already found a solution.]

[A solution? How is that possible? This is one dollar, not ten thousand! Even with AI, I can't solve it. How can this be resolved?]

[That's why we say they're a wealthy family; they must have completely different ideas and ways of thinking than us.]

Do you think they might be using their connections to help them? Like buying a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for just one dollar?

[Holy crap, upstairs, your idea is pretty good, it's actually possible! After all, the so-called selling price isn't set by the seller!]

[Hey, hey, hey, you guys are thinking way too far. The production team isn't stupid, why would they leave such an obvious loophole?]

That's true. Ugh, I really can't think of anything. Does anyone know how to make lunch for just one dollar?

What's the rush? It's 9 a.m. now, and there are still 3 hours until noon. We'll know the result in 3 hours.

Although the challenges set by the production team were too difficult, the families present ultimately didn't say anything. After all, they were there to participate in the show, so they had to make some sacrifices, right?

So what if we go hungry?

Yu Chao, Chen Guangjun, and Zhao Lili exchanged their opinions discreetly and then decided to pool their money, amounting to a huge sum of 3 yuan, to take action together.

If I remember correctly, the cheapest egg noodles are only 2 yuan. Buy a bag, and if everyone eats a little, it should be enough to make six people barely half full...

Zhao Shuang looked at the one-yuan coin in her hand, then at her mother who looked troubled, and sighed.

"Mom, if there's really no other way, why don't we just vote?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hua shook his head.

"Xiao Shuang, you need to know that this is your first variety show appearance. If you give up so easily, it could be detrimental to your future career. Let me think of another way. The production team wouldn't be so ruthless; they must have some backup plan."

Zhou Keke whispered something to her mother, Li Rong, and the two of them swayed their hips as they walked toward Ye Linyuan.

Before he even arrived, Zhou Keke greeted Ye Linyuan in an overly sweet voice.

"Brother Ye, we're all in this together now, why don't we team up? There's strength in numbers, we'll find a way."

Seeing Zhou Keke getting closer and closer, Ye Linyuan quickly grabbed Ye Qingcheng with his left hand and Luo Qingge with his right, while gesturing for Luo Qingyue to follow him.

Before leaving, he casually left behind a remark that made Zhou Keke's face turn unusually pale.

"Get out of here! I can smell your veneer of STDs from a mile away. The air feels stale just being near you. We don't want to get sick. People like you from the express delivery companies, stay away from us!"

Zhou Keke never expected that Ye Linyuan knew she had gotten sick from having too much fun in France. Although she had received treatment afterward, the root of the illness remained, though it wasn't usually noticeable.

What surprised her even more was that Ye Linyuan actually revealed her most embarrassing side in front of everyone, without giving her any face at all!

As soon as Ye Linyuan finished speaking, the live stream chat exploded.

[Holy crap, what did I just hear? Ye Linyuan said Zhou Keke has an STD?]

[Really? Wasn't Zhou Keke supposed to come from a scholarly family? Was she a well-bred young lady? Are all well-bred young ladies this promiscuous these days?]

Brothers, I have a question: what do "San Tong Yi Da" (三通一达) mean?

[Holy crap, what a clueless guy! He doesn't even know about the major express delivery companies like STO Express, YTO Express, ZTO Express, and Yunda Express.]

The so-called "three links" refer to the three routes to the mainland, the front, and the back; the "one-way" refers to an unplanned pregnancy that forces one to return to their home country.

Holy crap, bro, that's awesome! You even know that.

[Haha, no big deal. But then again, I never expected Zhou Keke, who looks so innocent and cute, to be so messy in private. It's quite an eye-opener.]

[That's not necessarily true; after all, it's only Ye Linyuan's side of the story.]

"That depends on who said it. Ye Linyuan isn't an ordinary person. Would he dare to make such a claim without concrete evidence?"

That's true, but it's someone else's private life after all. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to just say it like that?

[What's wrong with that? Didn't you all see that Zhou Keke has already set her sights on Ye Linyuan? Are you saying she can't fight back?]

【...】

"Hey, Mr. Ye, what are you saying? This is slander! Do you even know that?!"

Although she was furious with her daughter, Li Rong, as a mother, still stood up to protect Zhou Keke.

"I demand that you apologize to Coco in front of all the viewers on television and compensate her for emotional distress. Otherwise, I don't mind hiring a lawyer to sue you!"

Ye Linyuan originally intended to ignore these two crazy women, but they actually turned the tables on him, and Ye Linyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I'm telling you, you don't actually think that just because your daughter is messing around in France, there's nothing that can be done about it in China, do you? Hiring a private investigator to investigate someone is illegal in China, but it's much easier to do that abroad."

Although Luo Qingyue didn't know how Ye Linyuan knew about Zhou Keke's promiscuity, as a fellow traveler, she didn't mind helping Ye Linyuan out.

"What a coincidence! Our Luo family has a lot of businesses in France. I can help you. In fact, our Luo family's businesses are all over Europe, not just France."

As Luo Qingyue finished speaking, Li Rong's face turned deathly pale.

In her moment of intense anger, she forgot all about Ye Linyuan's identity. Not to mention the Luo family's investigation, even the Ye family itself could thoroughly investigate all the messy things her daughter had done in France!

But things had come to this point, and backing down was out of the question. If he backed down, wouldn't that confirm that his daughter had behaved improperly in Europe? That was absolutely unacceptable! Putting aside everything else, if his daughter's reputation was ruined, how could he rely on her to marry into a wealthy family and live a life of luxury in his later years?
