Chapter 71: Is this your home?

ak, she couldn't just rest. Instead, she kept bowing and apologizing to the staff alongside her manager.If you meet someone with a good temper, just nod and smile in response to greet them. But if you..."Oh my, it looked beautiful from the outside, but the interior decoration is even more stunning."

Walking into the villa, the crew members who had been here before seemed more composed. However, several actors who were visiting for the first time gazed around in amazement at the interior decor and couldn't help but express their admiration.

This villa is located on LABeverly Hills, covering an area of over 2200 square meters. It also has a large garden and swimming pool outside.

The maroon sloping roof, horseshoe archway, arched portico and colorful mosaic tiles give off an impression of luxury and grandeur from afar. Even at a bird's eye view, the exterior exudes a fashionable design sensibility beyond just its size and opulence.

After observing for a long time outside, I came in and discovered that there was more to it than met the eye, the essence was still inside.

The interior is decorated in a Mediterranean style. Standing on the doorstep, you are greeted by three arched doors that overlap and create a sense of rhythm with their neat arrangement.

Well-arranged and impeccably clean wooden furniture, wicker chairs neatly lined up, a large geometric patterned rug in earthy tones in the living room, white textured walls, meticulous tiles and wood floors intertwined, striving to highlight fashion and texture within the rustic overall ambiance.

Besides the outdoor basketball court and tennis court, it also features an indoor cinema, game room, anime exhibition hall, wine cellar, and other functional spaces.

"Jingyuan, is this what you arranged for the crew to rent"

Pu Xinhui gently stroked the wall, standing before a mural, and looked at Chi Jingyuan beside her with surprise. She couldn't help but ask.

>

Beside her, someone was standing very close. Zheng Xiujing was surprised and lingered in a daze before turning to look over, pricking up her ears.

"It's empty here recently, so we contacted the owner and rented it out to the film crew."

Chi Jingyuan nodded slightly, without saying much.

He hasn't lived here for a long time, and he didn't live here much before either.

Chi Jingyuan was actually indifferent to the decoration style here. It was all done by the previous owners of the villa. After they bought it, Chi Jingyuan, who had lived here for the longest time, was too lazy to make any changes and refused his second brother's suggestion to renovate it again.

"With a mansion like this, you must have connections. Your network is really impressive... I wonder what kind of person lives here normally."

Puyi scanned the surroundings, her eyes filled with liking. She couldn't help but sigh in delight.

Wow, look at the design of that archway and the texture of the walls, I really love this decoration style. If I make money in the future, I definitely want to buy a similar villa.

"Inside, I also like this style, it's really beautiful. I don't know what it feels like to live inside."

"I mostly love the outdoor garden and swimming pool. The built-in wine cellar and home theater are also fantastic…"

Jung Show-jung and Kim Ji-won also nodded, couldn't help but add a sentence, but in the end they sighed, it seemed a bit sentimental.

"Oh, I wonder when I'll be able to afford to live in a villa of this caliber."

But facing this level of mansion, they were still a bit far away. Several girls, with curiosity and love, as well as a strange feeling, visited the house. They had to take a look at every place, occasionally letting out exclamations and sighs.

The opulence and allure of wealth are on full display in this mansion, captivating the eye.

As they toured the set, the crew began setting up. Shortly after, at the director's call, preparations commenced.

The photographer first meticulously photographed the scenes and furnishings of each room, from downstairs to upstairs. He paid special attention to the arrangement of the living room and several paintings that looked quite valuable.

As for the room dedicated to Qi Jingyuan's most prized collection of figurines, it was completely omitted.

Then the official shooting began. The first shot was in the bedroom, with everyone gathered there. The crew surrounded the bedroom, and the actors who came along stood beside them. Cameras were set up at several angles, focusing on the bed.

First, the director gave a rundown of the play. After everyone was prepared, the entire theater fell silent. The director raised his hand:

"The Heirs, Act Two, Scene One, A!"

Ji Jingyuan was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts, leisurely lying on the bed reading a book. He appeared calm and natural, with the camera zooming in for a close-up shot of his face.

The phone's ringing, your cell phone is in the living room.

A blonde white guy walked in from outside, holding his phone and smiling. He expertly tossed it over to me.

Thank you...

"CUT!"

Chi Jingyuan expressed his gratitude and was about to continue the performance when the director suddenly shouted "cut!"

Chi Jingyuan was a little puzzled, as were the others, all looking over.

"Look! Jiang Xinxiao stared at the small screen for a few seconds, then frowned and walked three steps forward in two to the transparent floor-to-ceiling cabinet on the left side of the bedroom. After taking a look, he pointed to a picture frame inside and angrily said to his subordinates:"

"I told you something felt off. This isn't a prop from the set, it's clearly stuff that belonged to the original homeowner. You guys can forget to tidy up such obvious things And just leave it here"

"Damn, what are you guys doing setting up the scene Don't you know if we don't pay attention later and this goes out live, this shot will get us into a lot of trouble Do you even put any effort into your work"

Ginger Shinhyo unceremoniously pointed at them and berated several workers, his tone very harsh.

After we confirmed the rental, the crew came in to tidy up and set up a lot of filming props. Logically, this picture frame shouldn't be here.

"PDni, because the homeowner's agent said not to touch anything inside the cabinets at the time, so we..."

"That's enough for now. Take a fifteen-minute break. During this time, go and have a look at the other rooms that need to be filmed. Don't let this kind of thing happen again."

Ginger Xinxiao impatiently waved his hand, shooing away a few crew members like flies. Several other unnamed staff members also dispersed, helping to tidy up the other rooms. The bedroom that had been quite crowded just moments ago was now almost empty.

After that, Kang Shin-hyo opened the cabinet and took out the photos inside. After taking a close look, his expression immediately became strange. He held the picture frame in his hand and walked towards Ji Kyeong-won, who had already gotten up from bed and found a corner to sit in.

Ginger Shin gave the picture frame to Chi Jingyuan and nodded, gesturing for him to take it.

Chi Jingyuan took it and gave a wry smile.

This photo is a group photo of him, his second older brother, and his eldest sister. It was probably taken when they first came here to study. It had been kept in a cabinet before and I didn't pay attention to it, but unexpectedly it popped out at this moment.

Just as he was about to put the photo into his bag, a gasp came from beside him.

"This is..."

The three female protagonists, who didn't know when they had gotten to his side, looked at the photo in Ji Jingyuan's hands, their eyes filled with astonishment.

In the photo, two unfamiliar yet strikingly impressive men and women occupy the left and right sides of the composition, sitting on sofas that are somewhat apart. Their eyes are filled with affection as they gaze towards the center.

In the middle stood a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a fitted light-colored school uniform with an unfamiliar crest. His black short hair was slightly curled upward, his head tilted to the left, his bright eyes looking directly at the camera, and a slight smile playing on his lips. Coupled with the gazes of the man and woman behind him, a harmonious and friendly family portrait appeared before everyone's eyes.

... What shocked several girls was that the boy in the middle of the photo clearly looked like a few years younger version of Ji Jingyuan standing before them. Aside from his slightly immature features, his facial features and demeanor were almost identical.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

I just talked to the director, and he said that this photo is of the villa owner's...

"Oh, Jingyuan, wasn't this villa you helped me contact... "

Three female artists all came to the same conclusion in their hearts, but they were so shocked that they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Puk Sin Hui reacted first, glancing at Chi Jing Yuan beside her. Her eyes held surprise, as if she couldn't quite believe it, but her tone was very firm:

"This must be your house, right"
