Although Meng Feixuan’s camera only flashed by briefly, it was enough for the livestream viewers to get an overview of the Meng family banquet.

The comment stream was shocked but quickly filled with jokes:

[“66666, who would have thought I’d see the life of the wealthy in Xie Ran’s livestream…”]

[“In a daze, Xiao Ran has some connections, huh? Is he really that close with the Meng heir? And even had dinner at their place?”]

[“Wow, such a big dining room, even bigger than mine. No wonder they’re a wealthy family…”]

[“Wait, did the Meng heir just say his name was Mark??? Could he be the top contributor Mark?”]

Meng Feixuan nodded without hesitation: “That’s me, the top Mark.”

Comments:

[“!!!!! Damn, the top contributor is actually the Meng heir?!”]

[“People online said the top contributor was Xiao Ran himself. I knew he had no career ambition!”]

[“Rich guy, do you still need friends?!”]

“No, the thing rich people have the most of is friends,” Meng Feixuan politely declined, which left netizens speechless.

Meng Feixuan casually interacted with the audience for a bit, not forgetting this was Xie Ran’s livestream, and then handed the camera back to him: “Sir, your turn.”

Xie Ran looked at the camera, thought for a moment, and said: “Then… let’s call it compensatory time off.”

Comments:

[“…damn, I thought Xiao Ran was going to work overtime, but it’s compensatory time off?!”]

[“Ran, why don’t you learn something better than compensatory time off? It’s soulless!”]

Xie Ran, as always, ignored the comments’ complaints. Since Meng Feixuan had already started the livestream, he went with the flow and streamed naturally.

Originally, if Meng Feixuan hadn’t taken action, Xie Ran would have done it himself.

No one could set rules for him.

Once it was confirmed that Meng Siyun and the Meng family members appeared in Xie Ran’s livestream, the livestream’s popularity soared instantly and kept rising.

The general public was already curious about wealthy family life, especially since the Meng family was one of the most famous clans in Haijing City and all of Huaxia.

Such high-level celebrities prided themselves on their status and rarely appeared in public. Even occasional appearances were at grand occasions, covered by well-known media.

Who would have thought that one day they’d be seen in an internet celebrity’s livestream, a casual entertainment platform, and even during a meal?

When Xie Ran announced he would keep livestreaming, netizens exploded, inviting friends and attracting many curious onlookers.

The Big Face Cat platform was also shocked, especially the staff member handling Xie Ran, who was completely dumbfounded. He had been worried about Xie Ran’s career lately.

Xie Ran clearly had great natural advantages and hot topics, yet lacked ambition. The staff had tried many times to boost Xie Ran’s traffic, but he never seized the opportunities, always either attending online classes or studying materials. He was good at gaming but didn’t talk much, interacted poorly, so over time his viewership remained stable, never reaching top streamer status.

Unexpectedly, Xie Ran silently made huge news!

Livestreaming from the Meng family! What kind of content, what level was this!

Across the entire streaming world, which streamer had such resources and opportunities?!

Without hesitation, the staff put Xie Ran’s stream on the homepage’s large banner, and Big Face Cat didn’t block it. This kind of topic couldn’t be stopped even by their own platform — who needed bikes?

Xie Ran was not surprised by the rising viewers in the livestream and was unaffected. He had just finished eating and casually spent some time, answering a few comment questions.

He acted calmly, no different from his usual streaming style, which only frustrated the curious audience who were anxious to see more.

An experienced regular viewer spoke up: [“I know this one, let me do it.”]

Then the chat was flooded with cat airplanes and cat battleships emojis, with the message: [“Xiao Ran, please take us on a tour of the wealthy family!”]

Xie Ran: “…”

The audience clearly misunderstood him deeply.

Just as he was about to refuse, Meng Feixuan tapped his shoulder, looked seriously at the camera, and said: “What do you think the Meng family is? A place you pay to see? Does the Meng family need this kind of money?”

Xie Ran glanced at him sideways, a hint of doubt arising in his heart: so principled? Doesn’t seem like his AI.

The audience also started questioning.

The other Meng family members were also silent, feeling that Meng Feixuan’s words didn’t mock the viewers but rather seemed to mock the Meng family.

Was it just an illusion?

Then Meng Feixuan waved his hand grandly and continued: “Of course, no payment needed. I’ll give everyone a free tour.”

Audience: [“…LOL”]

[“Damn, laughing so hard”]

[“The prince has a great sense of humor~”]

The Meng elders were all dazed, unable to appreciate Meng Feixuan’s humor, only feeling that he had definitely just mocked the Meng family!

Xie Ran stayed rational. He was used to Meng Feixuan’s mental attacks and could calmly ignore his various remarks, so he wasn’t led astray.

He looked at Meng Yucheng politely and asked: “Mr. Meng, I am livestreaming. I’m afraid there might be inappropriate shots. Is there anything you want me to avoid?”

He didn’t care whether or not to tour, nor did he need to explain to viewers, but since Meng Feixuan held the Meng heir status, this was a subtle way to give the Meng family a face-saving way out.

This was the tacit understanding between him and his AI assistant.

Meng Yucheng was a bit surprised. He thought given Xie Ran’s current resources and strong negotiating stance, he should act more arrogantly.

Since Meng Feixuan had started the livestream and proposed touring the Meng family, Xie Ran could have played dumb and accepted the hype. The elders couldn’t interfere with Meng Feixuan’s personal matters, nor hold Xie Ran accountable.

But Xie Ran still actively left room for the Meng family.

Suddenly, many thoughts flashed through Meng Yucheng’s mind.

Xie Ran clearly supported his faction and Meng Siyun, and had directly suppressed Meng Yuguan’s arrogance. He was willing to befriend Xie Ran.

…Also, he guessed he couldn’t control his son anymore.

Meng Yucheng quickly recovered his natural expression and even smiled professionally yet kindly: “No problem, Mr. Xie is our honored guest. Feel free to tour.”

His words immediately shut down the other Meng elders’ objections. The Meng family was large and divided long ago. The old Meng family residence was where Meng Yucheng’s family lived, and if the family head had no objections, who else could interfere?

Xie Ran glanced at Meng Yucheng, roughly guessing his intention, and didn’t say much, just nodded politely and said: “Then I’ll trouble you.”

“No trouble,” Meng Yucheng smiled and added: “If needed, I can ask the butler to show you around.”

Meng Feixuan spun his wheelchair: “No need, I’ll lead.”

Xie Ran stood and held Meng Feixuan’s wheelchair handle: “Okay, you lead.”

The two cooperated perfectly and headed out of the dining room, leaving the Meng family members looking at each other.

A serious elder said incredulously: “Yucheng, are you really letting Siyun mess around like this?”

“This is my home,” Meng Yucheng took the tea from a servant, smiling comfortably: “If you really can’t stand it, you can complain to Siyun.”

The elder: “…which elderly Meng family member dares confront Meng Siyun alone now? They’d probably have a heart attack!”

Madam Meng quickly covered her mouth, nearly laughing out loud.

These elders always acted arrogantly due to their age. In the past, when Meng Siyun showed them face, arguing often put him at a disadvantage. Now that Meng Siyun didn’t care, they didn’t dare to say a word.

Meanwhile, the livestream audience was equally shocked.

Streaming from the Meng family was already surprising, a unique hot topic for streamers. But subconsciously, people thought internet celebrities would be weaker than wealthy families. They imagined Xie Ran had barely gotten the Meng family’s approval and was likely nervous or flattering them.

But both Meng Siyun and Meng Yucheng’s attitudes were completely unexpected to the netizens.

Meng Siyun was said to be Xie Ran’s friend, which was one thing, but Meng Yucheng was the Meng Group’s ruler, family head, and elder, yet extremely polite to Xie Ran. Meanwhile, Xie Ran remained indifferent, neither humble nor arrogant, polite but distant.

Some haters wanted to mock Xie Ran for climbing social ranks, but after seeing this, they had nothing to say.

In a private bar room, Ying Kaixi and Vitta’s group stared hard at their phone screens.

Especially Ying Kaixi, who couldn’t believe what he saw. He suddenly realized he had been deceiving himself all along.

The Meng family’s respect for Xie Ran might not be a show of aristocratic manners but genuine.

Otherwise, which wealthy family would allow an internet celebrity to livestream at their home?

Meng Feixuan even appeared openly in Xie Ran’s livestream without any reservations.

“Impossible!” Ying Kaixi suddenly threw his wine glass to the ground, shattering glass everywhere and startling everyone present.

He held his head and shouted: “Break it up! Everyone get out!”

“Brother Kaixi, what’s wrong…” Vitta tried to approach since they were close to a win, but Ying Kaixi kicked him away: “Get away!”

Vitta’s face changed: “What do you mean?”

“You think you can compete with Xie Ran?” Ying Kaixi lost his mind: “Look at what you are—”

“And what are you?!” Vitta lost face too, stood up fast, and kicked back: “A broke nouveau riche who thinks he’s great but got dumped, can’t even compare to a crippled person—”

“Shut up! I’m still with Xie Ran, we’re not broken up yet, not yet—” Ying Kaixi, angry and ashamed, wrestled with Vitta.

Others hurried over to pull them apart, but drunk people had surprisingly strong strength. The entire private room became a mess instantly.

Xie Ran pushed Meng Feixuan’s wheelchair at a steady pace. Meng Feixuan held the selfie stick for the livestream, casually introducing the Meng family’s home to the viewers.

“This is the living room. The furniture has been passed down for generations,” Meng Feixuan commented seriously: “Very durable. I looked carefully, it’s all patinated…”

Viewers: [“…durable.”]

[“…patinated.”]

[“Such a plain comment.”]

[“Never thought the wealthy heir would see furniture the same way I do, lol.”]

Xie Ran chuckled quietly, knowing Meng Feixuan’s theory didn’t match practice, and casually added: “These are huanghuali wood furniture. Because the wood takes a long time to form, they are now quite rare.”

Meng Feixuan: “This is the garden.”

Xie Ran: “This landscape style, the designer should be from the Sujing school. Look at the pond design, it also incorporates some northern-style elements.”

Like this, Meng Feixuan led the way, using poor vocabulary to introduce the functional divisions of the house, while Xie Ran casually commented.

Xie Ran didn’t say much or try to show off. He treated it like an ordinary walk, mentioning things offhandedly. Every sentence just happened to hit the mark. These things were nothing unusual to him.

The viewers cried over the grand mansion and felt dazed by Xie Ran’s posture.

They didn’t know if it was just an illusion, but they felt Xie Ran looked more like a wealthy family member than anyone had imagined.

…At least much more than the young master Meng.

Though it was said to be a tour of the Meng family’s old residence, Meng Feixuan still maintained AI-level rationality and didn’t really walk through the entire house, only filming some public areas, which probably angered the Meng elders enough. Then he clapped his hands and said: “Let’s end the livestream here today.”

The netizens, unwilling to stop, asked if Meng Feixuan would livestream with Xie Ran again in the future.

“It depends. If the gentleman wants me to, I will,” Meng Feixuan said.

He was about to turn off the livestream when the Meng elders came out of the mansion. Their eyes met, and the elders immediately stiffened upon seeing Meng Feixuan still holding the selfie stick, unconsciously straightening up.

Meng Sien stood among the elders, feeling very aggrieved.

He had been tricked into losing a car for no reason today. His father had been completely defeated in negotiations with Xie Ran. Things were extremely unfavorable. Now seeing Meng Feixuan swaggering while livestreaming, the Meng elders were all angry but dared not speak. This was actually a sign: Meng Feixuan’s influence in the group was growing, and the elders dared not criticize him.

Meng Sien’s eyes darkened slightly. He smiled and greeted Meng Feixuan: “Brother, you’re still livestreaming? We’re about to head to the racetrack. Do you want to come?”

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and stopped abruptly, his face awkward and apologetic, saying helplessly: “Sorry, I forgot…”

Meng Yuguan glared at him and said sternly: “What’s wrong with you? Think before you speak.”

On the surface, they played their parts perfectly, with no flaws.

But many viewers in the livestream already heard it.

[“……..…”]

[“Damn, was that on purpose?”]

[“Probably not. Look at his face. He just didn’t react in time.”]

Others comforted Meng Feixuan: [“Young Master Meng, it’s nothing. Don’t take it to heart.”]

Though they said that, how could he really not care? The Meng elders all had subtle expressions.

Meng Siyun used to be the emperor’s favored son and was good at equestrian noble sports. Now, naturally, he had completely given up the racetrack.

No matter how good his mentality was or how arrogant he was after returning to the group, some things would never be the same.

Meng Sien made a big show, glancing at Meng Feixuan, waiting for him to show embarrassment. This was a livestream, his cousin was so proud, and even though he could face his disability now, Meng Sien didn’t believe he wouldn’t care or be affected when talking about his once-proud horsemanship.

Meng Feixuan was indeed affected. His eyes suddenly lit up, a twisted smile appeared on his face, and his voice was filled with joy: “Horse riding!”

Meng Sien: “…?”

Others: ???

That reaction was wrong, wasn’t it?!

Meng Feixuan turned to look at Xie Ran, his eyes full of expectation: “Sir, let’s go horse riding.”

Xie Ran looked at his legs: “You can’t.”

“I can!” Meng Feixuan held his head high: “Anyway, with you leading me, it doesn’t matter if I have legs or not.”

He drifted the wheelchair and said proudly: “Besides, I’m still agile elsewhere.”

The Meng family: “…”

The livestream chat: [“……..…”]
