In the video, Mr. Gu and Gu Mu stand together, one confident and imposing, the other elegant and graceful.
Gu Mu affectionately says to the camera, "Yiyi, you don’t need to be very outstanding, you don’t need to do very well, no matter what you’re like, you’ll always be our little princess. Daddy, Mommy, and your brothers will always love you."
Mr. Gu also rarely smiles, "My dear daughter, Daddy will always be your strongest safe haven."
[Wow, Yiyi is truly blessed. Gu’s parents really spoil her like a princess.]
[Beautiful and rich, with parents who pamper her, and a handsome, loving brother. Yiyi is truly a winner in life!]
The screen filled with envious comments.
Director Chen: "It seems Yiyi is indeed the cherished one of the entire family. Is there anything you want to say to your parents?"
Gu Yiyi stayed silent for a moment, then curled her lips: "I’m very fortunate to be their daughter in this lifetime. I will strive to become the best version of myself to repay them.
And for my Dad, I’ve grown up now and can also be his safe haven."
[Wow, Yibao speaks so well!]
[Yibao is truly a filial child. Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu would be pleased to hear this.]
Director Chen: "Alright, we will convey your words to your parents through the video."
Gu Yiyi smiled faintly, said nothing, and glanced proudly at Gu Zhi.
Director Chen also looked at Gu Zhi: "Teacher Gu and your family have also been through thick and thin over the years and have always supported each other on the show. Is there anything you want to say to your parents?"
As he said this, everyone turned to look at Gu Zhi.
Speculation filled the comments:
[What can Gu Zhi say? Say she doesn’t want these parents and wants to acknowledge Chairman Gu as her parents? Haha.]
[Could Gu Zhi be a sibling-enabler?]
Gu Zhi heard this and looked up at Father Qin and Mother Qin, smiling slightly. Her already exquisite beauty became even more breathtaking, and she said sincerely, "In my eyes, you are the best parents in the world. Although our family is poor, you have given me everything to the best of your abilities. In the future, I hope you can live more for yourselves."
In the original script, Father Qin and Mother Qin spent their lives working hard for their children. Even when the original lead left the Qin family, they always kept her in their thoughts.
Hearing these words, Father Qin and Mother Qin nodded repeatedly, but tears couldn’t help but fall.
Mother Qin wiped her tears with one hand, holding onto the photo tightly with the other, looking up at Gu Zhi, her voice choked with emotion: "Zhi Zhi, you’ve been understanding from a young age. Mom and Dad couldn’t give you what other kids had, not even a lollipop, and you’ve never despised us or blamed us. Having you is the happiest thing in my and your dad’s lives. No matter what happens in the future, you’ll always be our daughter.
Mom and Dad’s greatest wish is for you to be happy."
Gu Zhi smiled slightly and stepped forward to hug her, "I will."
Mother Qin couldn’t hold back and cried out loud, hugging her back tightly.
Upon knowing Zhi Zhi wasn’t their daughter, it felt like the sky had fallen for her.
But no matter what decision Zhi Zhi made, she wouldn’t blame her.
[Waaah, I’m crying to death. The mutual contribution between Zhi Zhi and Father Qin, Mother Qin is so moving.]
[The Qin family is a reflection of many ordinary families. Your parents may not buy you what you like, but they will love you with all they have.]
[Suddenly, I feel this program segment is very meaningful. In fact, communication from the heart between parents and children is much needed.]
Many people in the comments empathized with the Qin family and thought of their own situations.
Of course, there were also some discordant voices.
[What’s so moving about a sibling-enabling family?]
[Such good acting. If Gu Zhi isn’t dissatisfied with the Qin family’s poverty, why does she claim to be Gu family’s daughter?]
But the production team was satisfied, having achieved the desired effect.
After giving everyone a moment to process, Director Chen said, "After this segment, I believe you understand your parents and children better. Blood ties are fascinating; they make us show our worst side to the ones we are closest to, while always keeping the gentlest side to silently give. It’s because of the daily company over the years that we have fearless emotional reliance on each other. But more direct expression and communication often help maintain and build the deepest and most intimate feelings.
I hope we all can spend more time and cherish our closest family members."
[Waaah, this suddenly turns profound, and I’m crying to death.]
[What the director said is very meaningful. Many programs now teach children how to understand their parents. It’s the mutual understanding and comprehension between parents and children that’s most important.]
[A terrifying thing to say: hitting the progress bar at the bottom right... No way, this episode is about to end, right?]
"This episode’s recording concludes here. We’ve spent a special and pleasant weekend over the past two days. In three weeks, our program will officially air the edited version on Goose Platform. I hope you can support it more. Guests can also say goodbye to our audience friends in the live room. We’ll see each other next week."
[See you next week, bye!]
[Yibao, don’t cry, it breaks my heart. See you next week!]
[Wifey, bye-bye, flying kiss~]
After the live room closed, the recording officially ended, and the production team had everyone touch up their makeup and take promotional photos.
During a makeup break, Jiang Xiangwan rummaged through her luggage and found a candy, handing it to Gu Zhi when she came out.
"Zhi Zhi, this is the candy I like to eat most often. There’s only one left. Take it, and I’ll treat you to more candy in the future!"
Gu Zhi felt a warmth in her eyes, smiled at her words, "Alright, I won’t lack candy in the future."
"Of course, you’re so excellent, you’ll definitely become very popular, more popular than me!"
"I’ll take your good words then." Gu Zhi couldn’t help but reach out and ruffle her hair, finding it quite fun.
"What are you two up to?" Han Liheng also came over, glanced at Gu Zhi, and bumped her shoulder coolly, "Give me a delivery address, and I’ll send you candy."
Gu Zhi was a bit surprised, "You’re really treating me?"
"?" Han Liheng was very hurt, "What’s with that doubtful expression? Once I give my word, I stand by it. Once I say I’ll treat you, I’ll treat you. Do you think I’d deceive you?"
"Alright then." Gu Zhi raised an eyebrow, "I appreciate your kindness, but I’ll pass on the address."
"Because we’re not that familiar yet, and I know the logic of not taking advantage of others." Just as Gu Zhi finished speaking, Director Chen called her to the living room.
Han Liheng’s face turned black.
Damn it! Not familiar after three days!
This made him seem overly eager!
Han Liheng was very angry!
