In the week while she were waiting for the calligraphy to be reviewed a second time, Liu Man participated in filming the first episode of “The Sisters”. Tao Zhiyao was the one who thought of the content for this episode.
Tao Zhiyao had long thought of filming an exclusive video of Liu Man and Li Xiaoru, with one of them “caressing” the Guqin in Hanfu and the other playing the piano in a dress robe. It would be a beautiful scene.
Today, her dream finally came true.
At first, everyone was fighting over where they were going to film at.
Because the piano was a large item, there was no way to move it. If they moved it and transferred it somewhere else, they would have to tune it. This meant that it would be unrealistic to film the video outdoors, at somewhere with a scene as good as a painting.
Everyone first thought of the practice rooms in Capital Music University. Li Xiaoru immediately disagreed. Although it was summer break, the Liu Man’s and her incident had not completely been forgotten yet. If Liu Man appeared on campus, they would be surrounded and watched!
Besides, Liu Man herself didn’t want to go to Capital Music University, either. She was a student who got kicked out. How could she go to the practice rooms?
Sun Weiwei suggested for them to film at Liu Man’s place. She knew Liu Man had a piano that costed a lot.
But Liu Man didn’t know that ther piano has already been sold by Liu Chengyu since Zhang Pei didn’t tell her. But she still refuses to go to her house, what would she do if these people saw Liu Chengyu?
Thankfully, Tao Zhiyao generously said to go to her house instead!
“I have a piano in my house, this way, I don’t have to move the costumes around.
“Wow, does Sis Peach also know how to play the piano?” — Jiang Chengfeng
“Nope, it’s just that our living room is way too big, the piano is just for decoration.” — Tao Zhiyao
“Ah, we don’t get the rich people world.” — Li Xiaoru
“But my mom and brother knows how to play piano, sadly, I wasn’t born with musical genes.” — Tao Zhiyao
“Would this bother your family?” — Liu Man
“My parents are on a vacation in Europe, it’s only me and my bro at home, and he’s pretty busy most of the time. Not to mention that it was my idea to film at my house anyway.” — Tao Zhiyao
Since Tao Zhiyao insisted, everyone agreed.
Tao Zhiyao’s home isn’t at the city center, instead, it’s at the city side. She lives in the rich part of the city and travels only by personal drivers. So Tao Zhiyao told her driver to drive the van so it could fit everyone.
After the passing the first entrance of the strict security system, you enter the rich living area. The environment of the area was very different from that of the urban city. The greenery and fresh air were good here. The ground uses the best asphalt. The road was well pavemented and the atmosphere was very quiet along the way, only the sound of cars and birds were heard.
It was the first time there people got to come here, normally, even if they wanted to come, the guards wouldn’t allow them anyways.
They looked curiously at the huge villas that flashed past the window from time to time. Liu Man, who was born in the palace, was also a little dazed. Because every house here covered a large area, the front garden and the back garden’s size were similar to a football field. The villas are all over four floors, which was much larger than the private western-style building used for filming in the Capital.
Jiang Chengfeng said quietly, “Every family at least has 3-4 super expensive cars parked in their gardens…”
Tao Zhiyao replied, “That’s because they don’t have enough room in their garage.”
Jiang Chengfeng: “…”
After entering the wealthy area, the car drove for ten minutes to reach Tao Zhiyao’s house… The bronze door inlaid with gold in front, the bronze door slowly opened, and a villa about the size of the other houses appeared in everyone’s field of vision.
There were security guards at the gate, gardeners in the garden, and butlers lined up in front of the villa waiting for them. Everything appeared standard for wealthy daughters.
The van parked in front of the butler and everyone got off. The only male, Jiang Chengfeng, showed his gentlemen side and offered to carry Liu Man’s Gu Qin and Miao Xiaomei’s makeup box.
Tao Zhiyao quickly introduced the butler whoe smiled and greeted everyone.
Nobody here had seen this before, in their minds, the profession of a butler was purely a movie concept!
Well, everyone except Liu Man.
They knew the Tao Zhiyao was a rich Bai Fumei, but they never thought she was this rich. She wasn’t even in the same world as mere mortals like them, who were only normal students from average families. It was only know that they’d realize the huge gap between Tao Zhiyao and them.
The housekeeper was very observant. He saw that the lady’s friends were uncomfortable, so he said to Tao Zhiyao, “Miss, the living room has been cleaned in the morning and some fresh flowers have been placed as well as a refreshing drink. If you have anything else, please feel free to call me.”
Tao Zhiyao nodded.
After receiveing approval, the butler left, leaving them some room to finally relax and breathe.
Jiang Chengfeng looked around and saw no one here, then he imitated the butler and said to Tao Zhiyao,
“Hello Miss.”
Tao Zhiyao glared at him, “Why don’t you add ‘Goodbye Miss’ to that as well?”
“I was about to until you stole my line,” Jiang Chengfeng joked.
She knwwing that Jiang Chengfeng was joking, but Tao Zhiyao still felt a little uncomfortable. She was worried that everyone would be scared of her. She looked at Sun Weiwei and the others. Sun Weiwei looked at her and smiled, but there was an indescribable awkwardness in her smile. Li Xiaoru, who was oblivious, still had eyes that shined with admiration towards Tao Zhiyao. Miao Xiaomei lowered her head and didn’t dare to look around, for fear of making mistakes and offending Tao Zhiyao.
Only Liu Man remained normal and looked at her normally.
Tao Zhiyao felt a little better, she said, “Though my family’s rich, it doesn’t mean that we aren’t friends anymore. These factors don’t clash with eachother.”
Sun Weiwei replied, “I just didn’t think that a Bai Fumei would be willing to be friends with us.”
“The wealthy are also human beings. In fact, the richer you are, the harder it is to make true friends. Ever since I was little, those so-called friends who approach me actively had other purposes. Not to mention thar my personality has always been out of place. No one in my circle truely likes me.” Tao Zhiyao said, with a trace of sadness and helplessness in her eyes.
The sadness only lasted for a second before she quickly returned to her usual smile, “That’s why I like to surf the internet and chat with netizens. Since the other person doesn’t know who I am. It’s because of the internet that I know Man Man and everyone. The internet is amazing, I’m so lucky!”
“It’s us who’s lucky,” Li Xiaoru said, “I never thought that I’d be friends with a millionaire’s daughter!”
Miao Xiaomei nodded immediately, she thought that Tao Zhiyao was 100% the richest customer she’s ever had!
Tao Zhiyao was still a little uneasy until one hand patted her shoulder, and she turned her head to meet Liu Man’s eyes. Her eyes had a calming power.
“You’ll always be our Sis Peach!”
