Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?

Chapter 186 The Rural Girl in "Metamorphosis" 29

The three groups waited for another half hour before the fourth group of guests finally arrived. They were a grandmother and grandson who were dressed very elegantly.

Leaving aside the granddaughter, let's talk about the old lady. She had her hair up, wore a dark purple cheongsam, and five-centimeter high heels. She also wore a set of jade jewelry on her ears, neck, and wrists, and sunglasses on her face.

Before they even got close, an aura of wealth and power swept over them. Grandma Liu nudged Liu Yuxi and said, "I reckon this trip will only be with you this time."

Liu Yuxi was both amused and exasperated, but she still comforted her grandmother, saying, "Maybe it's just the first day, so she's dressed up a bit! She's probably very easygoing in private!"

"Impossible. Your grandmother has met quite a few people over the years. Her demeanor is definitely not something that can be cultivated in a short time. Your Grandma Wang is far inferior to her. This family has a deep foundation! It's better to stay away. Such precious people are too dangerous!"

As the grandmother and granddaughter got closer, Liu Yuxi recognized the younger one as the rising star Ye Qing, proving that her grandmother was quite perceptive.

Ye Qing is a newly debuted actress in the past two years. She debuted as the female lead and starred in three big-budget films with award-winning actors and actresses in supporting roles. Netizens say that she has a powerful backer.

However, Liu Yuxi had seen her face and realized that she was the sugar daddy herself! It's likely that she went on the show to refute the rumors circulating online.

The two didn't seem difficult to get along with. Ye Qing had a smile on her face and clear eyes. When her grandmother came in front of everyone, she pushed her sunglasses up and greeted everyone with a smile: "Hello! Sister, your granddaughter is so pretty!" As she spoke, the grandmother and granddaughter looked at Liu Yuxi with sparkling eyes.

Grandma Lin was also stunned. How could she suddenly become a different person? But she still said politely, "What? Your granddaughter is so talented. Big sister, you have such a strong presence. If you hadn't spoken first, I wouldn't have dared to talk to you."

Grandma Ye leaned close to Grandma Liu and whispered, "It's all just a hoax. I was just thinking of going on TV, that would make my granddaughter proud. But I regretted it as soon as I left the house. These high heels are so tiring to wear, I'm afraid I'll fall while walking."

The chat was filled with comments like, "If I hadn't been watching Ye Qing's live stream from the beginning, I would have believed it. Who would have thought, folks, that Ye Qing's house is actually an entire estate!"

"When the camera was inside, I just thought Ye Qing's family was rich. But once I stepped out of the house, I realized what 'outrageously wealthy' really meant!"

"Aaaaah! Who said Ye Qing has a sugar daddy backing her? Come out and face the consequences!"

Regardless of the online discussions, Grandma Liu listened to Grandma Ye's words and said, "That's right, I just can't wear high heels. I'm afraid of falling. We're so old, we can't be so concerned about looking good anymore. If we fall, it will be terrible."

She didn't know what others thought of Grandma Ye's words, but her grandma clearly believed them. She was a little amused and exasperated, but she didn't say anything and let her grandma talk it out herself.

The two grandmothers huddled together, while Liu Yuxi and Ye Qing exchanged smiles. Liu Yuxi whispered to Ye Qing, "Is Grandma Ye dressed like this in the back too?" "No, we brought sportswear, but my grandma's clothes, uh, are a bit trendy!"

Liu Yuxi immediately understood. This was just like her old age in one of her lives, sometimes elegant and dignified, and sometimes dressed in a style that was more fashionable than many young people: "Grandma Ye has a great attitude! I was thinking that when I get old, I also want to be a very fashionable old lady!"

Ye Qing covered her mouth and laughed: "The younger generation in my family all like Grandma very much. She is really a very open-minded elder. I was able to enter the entertainment industry because Grandma spoke up for me."

Liu Yuxi gave a thumbs up.

Soon the production team gathered everyone together and selected a team leader. Everyone recommended Lin Ziye. The production team gave Lin Ziye the 5000 yuan travel fund for the first leg of the trip for safekeeping, and then arranged for everyone to check in their luggage and board the plane.

It was only then that everyone realized the first stop was Lijiang, Yunnan. Her grandmother was immediately overjoyed and complained to Liu Yuxi, "I don't know why the production team had to confiscate our phones. Who goes on a trip without their phone? Now I can't even call your Grandma Wang to let her know!"

"I'll tell Grandma Wang when you get back that the phone the production team gave us is working. I'll take lots of pictures of you then, and you can show them to your friends when you come back."

"Then take lots of pictures of me, especially when we're abroad. I'll show them off to my old friends when I get back."

"When you go back to the village, won't you show off to all the old ladies there?" Liu Yuxi joked with her grandmother. "No way, I can't let them know I've gone abroad. If they find out, our relatives will definitely find out too, and they'll start bothering you!"

Look, her old lady is perfectly aware of everything. The group of people chatted and laughed as they boarded the plane. Her grandmother is now used to flying, and the elderly couple chatted along the way.

The group of young people were planning their travel itinerary together and checking hotel information on their phones. Their budget was limited, and with only three days in one place, they definitely couldn't book a single room. They would either have to rent a small guesthouse or a standard hotel room.

After comparing options online, the group decided to book a guesthouse. This would allow them to experience some of the local customs, save money, and cook their own meals. If the elderly guests didn't like the local food, they could buy ingredients to cook for themselves, since everyone knows about Yunnan's culinary specialties.

They booked a guesthouse online for three nights. It wasn't peak tourist season yet. The owner had converted his own house into a guesthouse with only six rooms. After communicating with the owner online, they learned it was 800 yuan per day. Since they booked three days, it would cost 2,400 yuan, which would take up half of their travel budget.

With the remaining money for food, transportation, and tickets to tourist attractions over the next three days, the group of young people suddenly felt a lot of pressure and quickly checked local prices, attraction ticket prices, and car rental prices.

After some research, it seemed like the money wasn't enough. Fortunately, it was the grandparents, not the children, who were traveling. Many of the expensive amusement park rides could be eliminated, and they could focus on sightseeing and eat and drink as secondary expenses, which would save them money.

We decided to take a car to the guesthouse after arriving at the airport. Luckily, the guesthouse owner said he had a car and could pick them up from the airport, which saved us some money on transportation. Otherwise, it would have been a considerable expense for so many of them to take taxis.
