CHAPTER 226: CHAPTER 226: DOES THE TRUE AND FALSE HEIRESS MATTER HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THEM?

Gu Yiyi’s expression turned colder. She had already seen the footage online, where Mrs. Qin, when pushed by Gu Mu, deliberately pulled Gu Mu along with her.

If it weren’t for her, Gu Mu wouldn’t have lost.

Knowing full well that she’s her biological daughter, couldn’t they just let them win and live in a better house!?

They were so concerned about Gu Zhi, making milk and heating coal for her!

Gu Yiyi’s face looked unsightly. After putting down her luggage and taking off her makeup, she went to sleep. This place was really too dirty, she didn’t want to touch anything, it was simply uninhabitable. She couldn’t understand how Gu Zhi and the others could stand it!

Gu Zhi, however, wasn’t very reluctant. The cave dwelling they lived in only had a three-meter-long earthen bed, which Mrs. Qin had cleaned up earlier, laid with two quilts. She looked at Gu Zhi and said:

"We’ll have to squeeze in and sleep together tonight. I’ll sleep in the middle, and you and your dad on both sides." As Mrs. Qin spoke, she reminisced, "Remember when you were little, you wanted to sleep with us every day, snuggled between us? Your dad and I covered you with the quilt seven or eight times a night."

Back then, they couldn’t even afford to get sick.

Gu Zhi smiled with pursed lips. She didn’t have the experience of sleeping with her parents, and no one helped her cover up with a quilt. At the welfare home, seven or eight kids shared one bed, constantly fighting over the quilt.

Just the other day, she had experienced living under the same roof with them, and now, sleeping on the same bed felt quite novel.

Though the earthen bed was hard, Mrs. Qin had laid several quilts over it, making it feel warm and soft.

Gu Zhi, drowsy from sleep, felt someone tucking her in. She turned over and fell into a deeper sleep.

She woke up the next day to the sound of a rooster crowing.

Father Qin and Mrs. Qin had already woken up and returned with breakfast from the production team.

The production team’s breakfast is usually more plentiful the earlier you get there. After all, there are still many staff members eating together, so Gu Zhi was able to have the breakfast brought back by Father Qin and Mrs. Qin as soon as she woke up.

The Qin Family’s PD guy also came over and immediately started the live broadcast, recording Gu Zhi’s first moments of waking up.

She casually tied her hair back, wearing simple, casual pajamas, still makeup-free. It was hardly different from when she wore makeup.

[Wow, just woken up and she still looks so soft and sweet on screen.]

[Is Gu Zhi wearing makeup to bed? Going to sleep without removing it?]

[That’s my wife without makeup, okay? She usually wears light makeup, so it’s not noticeable.]

[Whoa, she looks this good without makeup? Looks even paler than when she’s made up!?]

[Naturally beautiful, Zhi Zhi truly has a great base! I could look at her bare face all day.]

[Ahhh, my darling Yibao is out too, she’s so beautiful!]

Behind her, Gu Yiyi also came out.

The cave dwelling they lived in had no water, so they had to go to the yard to wash up. Remembering how Gu Zhi had been praised through the roof for appearing on camera bare-faced, she also didn’t put on makeup, stepping out in her pajamas au naturel.

Seeing Gu Zhi also sitting in the yard in her pajamas eating breakfast, seemingly makeup-free, made her pause slightly.

She must be wearing makeup, right? Otherwise, how could her eyes not be puffy at all, not a single dark circle, looking even better than her!?

This scheming bitch, wasn’t she praised on trending for being bare-faced? Turns out she was wearing light makeup to fool people!?

If she were to go makeup-free, wouldn’t it perfectly compare to Gu Zhi’s light makeup!?

Gu Yiyi’s eyes darkened slightly, instinctively wanting to cover her face. She used to have a good base too, better than some actresses without makeup—but in the past few months, her skin condition worsened, her dark circles grew heavier, and the bare-faced difference was noticeable.

But it was too late; many fans on the live barrage saw her bare face as well.

[Gu Yiyi is bare-faced too, but there’s a bit of a gap compared to Zhi Zhi haha.]

[In comparison, Gu Zhi’s bare face still holds strong.]

Some netizens quickly posted the screenshots of their bare faces online:

"The bare face of Gu Zhi vs. Gu Yiyi, the contrast is quite stark. Gu Zhi’s a landslide win—how did Gu Yiyi dare to show herself bare-faced?"

"Taking Zhi Zhi away, my wife is beautiful on her own, doesn’t need to compare with anyone."

"Come on, with the camera so close to Gu Zhi, it’s obviously a close-up shot. Yiyi was just inadvertently caught on camera, how can she compare to Gu Zhi? Can’t her fans stop being brainless?"

"Hahaha... You said it’s a close-up, yet Gu Zhi can stand such a camera—what’s wrong with natural beauty? You can tell from such a blurry image that your sister’s bare face isn’t up to par /eat melon."

"/Thumbs up says a lot."

"Gu Yiyi, well that’s normal, just another green tea who only knows to snatch the newcomer’s center stage on the platform, uglier by a mile /smile."

The online discussion was intense.

Meanwhile, Gu Zhi calmly finished her breakfast and went inside to do her makeup.

Only then did Han Liheng crawl out of the cave, his stomach grumbling with hunger. His parents had woken up late and hadn’t collected much breakfast. Seeing the pile of food on Father Qin and Mrs. Qin’s table, he rubbed his face and walked over.

"Morning, Uncle Qin, Aunt Qin. Is there any food left? I’m starving; I haven’t eaten all night."

Father Qin and Mrs. Qin, upon seeing him, smiled and waved him over, "Yes, yes, there’s more here. Zhi Zhi didn’t finish hers; if you don’t mind, you can eat it."

"I don’t mind; why would I mind? Having something to eat is good enough!"

Han Liheng quickly sat down, picked up chopsticks, and stuffed a leftover dumpling from Gu Zhi into his mouth.

Now, for this show, he didn’t have too many demands—just getting full was good enough!

[Haha, the silly guy is out as usual, and still as silly as ever.]

[I’m shipping it! Brother Burger doesn’t mind at all eating Gu Zhi’s leftovers, just eats it right up!]

[I get it; I’m his fan of five years. I know how much he used to be a clean freak, and now he’s not picky at all! He must be super fond /sad.]

[? It’s not like what Gu Zhi actually touched, so there’s nothing left over. You’re shipping this?]

Inside, Gu Yiyi’s face turned even more unsightly upon hearing the commotion outside.

She didn’t have any breakfast either, yet Father Qin and Mrs. Qin gave the food to Han Liheng, completely ignoring her!

Even when they saw her earlier, they acted as if they hadn’t seen anything.

Gu Yiyi felt a wave of gloom pass through her heart but dared not say anything more.

After putting on her makeup and changing clothes, she headed to the gathering point designated by the show.

Gu Zhi also donned a light natural makeup look, her features becoming even more refined, paired with casual wear, looking both neat and stylish.

Once they arrived, the production team announced the itinerary for the day.

Finally, this episode didn’t have any of those bizarre tasks; it was purely for entertainment. The production team planned to take them to visit the Dunhuang Murals.

The moment Gu Zhi and Gu Yiyi appeared on camera together, the live broadcast chat exploded:

[Whoa, Gu Zhi and Gu Yiyi finally appear together on screen so that the real and fake daughter thing didn’t affect them at all!?]
