Chapter 144 Spirit Mist Mountain, Other Guests
Sitting in the car were special operations team members sent by the military to ensure the absolute safety of Shen Yu's family.
On the bus, Niannian and Guigui leaned against the window, curiously watching the scenery outside.
As the car drove out of the city, the tall buildings gradually transformed into rolling green hills and lush fields, and the air became fresher.
"Wow! Mom, look! There are so many cows over there!" Niannian shouted excitedly, pointing out the window.
"And there are little lambs!" Gui Gui pointed to the other side, her eyes sparkling.
Jiang Xinlan sat beside them, smiling as she explained the roadside plants and animals to them, occasionally taking out her phone to capture their happy expressions.
Shen Yu sat by the window with his eyes closed, seemingly resting, but in reality, his divine sense had spread out, scanning everything around him.
He noticed the three cars following behind him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
The military personnel were indeed thorough in their work, not disturbing their lives, but eliminating all possible dangers in advance.
More than two hours later, the car slowly drove into the Wuling Mountain Scenic Area.
After driving up the winding mountain road for another twenty minutes, we finally arrived at our destination, Wuling Mountain Residence.
Wuling Mountain Residence is nestled halfway up the mountain, built against the mountain and beside the water. With its white walls and black tiles, it is arranged in a staggered manner. It is surrounded by dense forests and clear streams, and the air is filled with the fragrance of grass and soil, just like a paradise.
The car stopped at the entrance of the mountain retreat. Shen Yu got out first, then carried Nian Nian and Gui Gui out. Jiang Xinlan followed, looking at the beautiful scenery before her, and couldn't help but exclaim, "This place is so beautiful!"
"Yes," Wang Kai said with a smile, "We looked at several places before finally deciding on this one. The environment is nice and quiet, making it perfect for filming slow-paced variety shows."
The staff had already unloaded the luggage, and Wang Kai pointed to the courtyard in front:
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Shen, this is the courtyard where you will be staying. We have specially reserved the largest room for you, with a separate kitchen and courtyard, so it will be convenient for you to take care of your children."
Shen Yu looked in the direction he pointed and saw a small, secluded courtyard with two osmanthus trees planted at the entrance. There was a stone table and several stone benches in the courtyard, and a small swing in the corner, making it look warm and comfortable.
"Thank you, Director Wang," Jiang Xinlan said with a smile, "You've thought of everything so thoroughly."
"Of course, of course," Wang Kai quickly replied.
"Please unpack your luggage and rest for a while. The other guests will arrive around noon, so we can have lunch together and get to know each other. If you need anything, please feel free to contact the staff; they are available 24 hours a day."
After saying that, Wang Kai left with his staff without disturbing them further.
They deliberately left the cameraman who was filming at the entrance of the courtyard and did not go in, strictly adhering to their previous agreement and trying their best not to disturb Shen Yu's life.
Shen Yu carried his suitcase into the yard, and Niannian and Guigui were immediately attracted by the swing in the corner. They ran over and took turns swinging, their silvery laughter echoing in the yard.
"Swing slowly, don't fall," Jiang Xinlan said from behind, then turned around to help Shen Yu pack his luggage. "Let's put our things away first, then wash some fruit for the children."
"Okay," Shen Yu nodded and dragged his suitcase into the bedroom.
The bedroom is large and decorated in a simple Chinese style, clean and bright.
There is a large double bed and two small beds, just enough for a family of four.
The window faces the green mountains outside; opening the window reveals endless greenery and the sound of babbling brooks.
Shen Yu took out his change of clothes and put them in the wardrobe.
Jiang Xinlan went to the kitchen, washed a plate of strawberries and grapes, and brought them to the yard for the children to eat.
Sunlight streamed into the yard, warm and bright. Two children sat on a swing, eating sweet strawberries and laughing happily.
Shen Yu leaned against the door frame, looking at them with eyes so tender they could melt.
With a flick of his fingertips, a wisp of spiritual energy dispersed around the courtyard, setting up a simple protective array to safeguard this small world. Only then did he turn to Jiang Xinlan and the child and say:
"It's quiet here, you can rest first. Don't worry about other people."
Jiang Xinlan nodded knowingly. She knew Shen Yu's personality best; he never liked socializing and only cared about his family's peace and quiet.
The next day, at 10 a.m., the production team notified all the guests to gather in the common living room for the opening ceremony.
Jiang Xinlan straightened Niannian's collar and said softly to Shen Yu, "Just go say hello and get to know everyone. I'll be right back, okay?"
Shen Yu nodded, took the two children's hands, and followed her into the living room.
He was still dressed in simple cotton and linen clothes, with an upright posture and a faint sense of aloofness. He did not speak or look at others. His eyes were only on Jiang Xinlan and the child, as quiet as a background figure.
At this point, all four regular guests had arrived, all of them top-tier figures in the industry, perfectly covering the audience across three generations:
Chen Jingshan, a national first-class actor, has been acting for forty years and has the highest popularity among the people. He is known for his upright and honest character. He lives with his wife Bai Hui and his eight-year-old granddaughter Chen Duoduo.
Su Wanqing is a top-tier actress with three films that grossed over 10 billion yuan each. She has top-tier capital backing, an outspoken and direct personality, and always strives to be number one. She appears on screen alone, accompanied by an assistant and a private feng shui master.
