After a nightmare, Nan Tao mistakenly believes she is a cannon fodder female supporting character in a novel, destined for a tragic end.
While feeling distressed, she suddenly hears her son...
Chapter 142
Not long after, Gu Xuan left and Qiu Jun followed him.
Everyone in the crew knew about the relationship between the two, but they didn't take it seriously. They ate and drank as usual, and the atmosphere in the box was very lively.
Nan Tao looked at the time. It was 11:30 pm.
Just as she was about to find a reason to tell the director to leave early, a message from her husband popped up on the top of her phone.
Yu Zhengyang:
——When will you be back?
Before Nan Tao replied to the message, another one popped up.
Yu Zhengyang:
——Where is the location? I’ll pick you up.
Nan Tao's eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy, and she replied happily:
——You returned to your country?
Then send the location.
Yu Zhengyang:
——We'll be there in twenty minutes.
After more than ten minutes, Nan Tao felt that the time was almost up, so she turned to look at the director next to her and made an excuse, saying, "I have something to do. I have to leave early."
The director was drunk, but he didn't care. He waved his hand to indicate that they could leave early. Then he seemed to remember something and called the person over. He asked with a thick tongue, "You, you know the eldest daughter of the Yu family?"
Yu Xue had visited the crew several times before, so it was not surprising that the director knew about it.
Nan Tao had never considered hiding anything, she simply wouldn't expose it. She replied, "I guess so."
The director seemed really drunk and didn't speak for a long time.
Nan Tao didn't care. After waiting for a while, she saw that the director didn't want to talk, so she turned around and left with her bag.
I looked at my phone again. I still had a few minutes, so I went to the bathroom to touch up my makeup.
The bathroom was empty. Nan Tao looked at herself in the mirror and smiled like a fangirl.
These big eyes, high nose bridge, and cherry lips, hehe, if I were a man, I would fall in love with myself.
Nan Tao was narcissistic for a while, then took out loose powder and lipstick to touch up her makeup.
I was halfway through making up for it when I suddenly heard a strange muffled sound.
Nan Tao was shocked and thought it was impossible.
Although this high-end hotel has good privacy protection, it is better to be safe than sorry. If you have such a need, why not just go and book a room?
Just as I was about to leave, I heard the familiar voice of Teacher Qiu.
Nan Tao: ???
If I remember correctly, Qiu Jun followed Gu Xuan and left.
So the voice that was more seductive than a woman's just now was Gu Xuan?
Oh my god!!!
No wonder she is so attractive to men, does she have some special skills?!
If I didn't know that this person was Gu Xuan, I would have thought that Qiu Jun had fallen in love with someone else and had fallen in love with a woman.
But are these two people so brave that they can do it right in the men's bathroom?
Nan Tao was not interested in listening to the two of them doing this, and was about to leave when she heard Qiu Jun confess his love.
For a moment, I was shocked!
As expected of the paranoid second male lead, he did this in the men's restroom and confessed his love at the same time?
Is this something a normal person can do???
Then came Gu Xuan's voice. From the sound of it, he didn't even refuse outright? It felt like a green tea-like person who would give you a chance to succeed as long as you performed well.
Qiu Jun was so excited that he immediately started working hard.
Nan Tao felt so nauseous that she quickly left the bathroom and ran outside the hotel to breathe some fresh air.
As he was stamping his feet and waving his hands, a tall figure loomed over him.
Nan Tao looked up and immediately smiled, opened her arms, and jumped onto the man.
Yu Zhengyang hugged the person tightly, wrapped him in his coat, and hugged him tightly.
Nan Tao put her arms around the man's neck, looked up and smiled, "One day without seeing you feels like three autumns. It feels like dozens of autumns since we last met."
Yu Zhengyang's lips curled up slightly, "You're so talkative."
After getting in the car,
Nan Tao: "Last time you said let the bullets fly for a while, how long are they going to fly? You don't even know how disgusted I was just now."
Then he complained about what he had just heard in the bathroom.
Yu Zhengyang frowned, "It's finished."
Nan Tao rolled her eyes and said unhappily while playing with his fingers, "Can't you say more? You think you can get rid of me with just three words? You arrogant and domineering CEO!"
As she was talking, she started laughing and fell into the arms of the cold and domineering CEO.
Yu Zhengyang added helplessly, "During the years that Park Moon-bin was in power, he committed many tax evasions in order to prove his ability. We are secretly investigating this, and once all the evidence is collected, it will be almost over."
Nan Tao: "I heard that he recently became the CEO of Park Group again? He seems very proud of himself."
Yu Zhengyang sneered: "The Park family thought Park Wenbin's marriage was secure, so they didn't dare to offend him and invited him back to the company."
Nan Tao wanted to change to a more comfortable position, so she moved.
Yu Zhengyang thought she was going to sit up, so he put his long arms around her slender waist, holding her in his arms, and rested his head on her shoulder. "Don't move, I need to rest for a while."
Nan Tao was quietly held in his arms, with smiles in her eyes and heart.
After the filming of "Fox Fairy" was completed, the two male protagonists were on the hot search many times due to their emotional entanglements, which had a great negative impact. The only protagonist that could be picked out was Nan Tao. Therefore, the publicity point of this drama fell on the role played by Nan Tao.
Despite this, there are still many viewers who don't buy it. After all, the original promotion of this drama was a male-male CP, but the male protagonist's reputation collapsed, so what's the point of bringing out the female protagonist now?
Netizens were rebellious and didn't buy into this at all, and they all went to the crew's official blog to comment:
【What's the point of promoting it when the building has already collapsed?】
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have bothered promoting the male and female lead CP honestly, and I wouldn't have ended up like this. 】
I advise you to think about whether you can pass the review.
[As much as I liked you before, I now dislike you as much as I did before. What a waste of my feelings.]
[Who wants to watch this crappy show of yours?]
The director's hair has turned white with worry. He invested so much in this film, and now...
Nan Tao didn't care about these things. She agreed to this drama simply for the sake of watching the show, and she didn't really want to increase her fame through this drama. Now this development is expected.
However, as an actor, she still completed the roadshow diligently and responsibly. After the roadshow, the drama had nothing to do with her anymore.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, time has passed and it is already March, the spring weather is pleasant and the mood is refreshing.
The movie starring Nan Tao and Jiang Hui was nominated for the Magnolia Awards, including leading role, supporting role, music, screenplay, etc., and is expected to officially win the award, which has already caused quite a stir online.
There is no doubt about the quality of director Lotte's films, which have always won awards.
Needless to say, Jiang Hui's status as a film queen is unshakable, and her acting skills are also tested by the eyes of the general public.
Only Nan Tao has attracted heated discussions among netizens, some agree, some refute, and there are many different opinions.
Nan Tao doesn't care about these things.
Since I have changed the future destiny of the people around me one after another, the burden on my shoulders has been lifted, my body and mind feel relaxed, and I have become calm and indifferent. I don’t care about the keyboard warriors on the Internet at all.
This year's award ceremony was held in Hai City. Jiang Hui finally squeezed out time to get together, but Nan Tao was busy receiving guests.
During the New Year holidays, Nan Tao couldn't help herself and quietly hinted a few words to Jiang Hui, not knowing whether she understood.
Nan Tao took Yu Ze to the airport to pick up Jiang Hui and Zhan Li, sent them to the hotel where they were staying to put down their luggage, and then went out to eat together.
The two families haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Zhan Li has changed a lot. He is tall and thin, with fair skin and bright black eyes. He is a handsome little boy.
Zhan Li and Yu Ze didn't feel unfamiliar with each other at all, and they told each other about their interesting things in school.
Nan Tao kept praising Zhan Li, and Zhan Li blushed with shyness.
Nan Tao laughed, "You're still so shy."
Jiang Hui protected her child, "Stop teasing him."
Nan Tao changed the subject, "Don't you think Xiaoli and you are just like two peas in a pod? When you two came out together just now, I almost thought you were mother and son."
Jiang Hui smiled and said, "People around me also say that people who live together tend to look like each other."
Nan Tao was speechless, "Have you never thought of other possibilities?"
Jiang Hui was bewildered. "What's possible?"
Nan Tao jokingly said, "Maybe he really is your biological son. Why not do a paternity test? It won't cost much. Even if the result is negative, there's no loss. If it's true, wouldn't that be great?"
Jiang Hui thought it was okay. "You're right. After the party is over in a few days, I'll take him to do it."
Nan Tao was always in a hurry. "What do you mean by a few days? I have nothing to do today anyway. Let's eat and go to the hospital. We can do a quick scan and know the results tomorrow."
Jiang Hui couldn't do anything to Nan Tao, "Okay."
After dinner, Nan Tao took people directly to the largest Grade A hospital in the city.
After the paternity test, Nan Tao was in a good mood and asked, "Do you want to go to the amusement park?"
This suggestion drew strong support from the children.
So, the two families took their children to play in the amusement park from the afternoon until the evening.
As night fell, the two handsome boys held hands under the street lights, reluctant to part.
Nan Tao smiled and said, "I didn't expect you two to get along so well."
Jiang Hui smiled and said, "I'll take you guys to meet more often when I have time."
After returning home, Nan Tao collapsed on the bed exhausted and slept until the next afternoon, when she was woken up by the ringing of her cell phone.
The caller ID shows it’s my best friend Huihui.
Nan Tao picked up the phone and said dazedly, "Hui Hui?"
On the other end of the line was Jiang Hui's voice, choking with emotion, "It's my son, Xiao Li is my son!"
Nan Tao sat up with a start and congratulated, "That's great!"
Jiang Hui spoke incoherently on the phone for a long time expressing her gratitude.
Nan Tao smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? I was just talking nonsense. It's your good fortune, Huihui."
The Jinlan Awards Gala was held two days later. Nan Tao wore a light blue strapless, waisted fishtail dress, looking like a mermaid walking out of the deep sea. She was breathtakingly beautiful, swaying gracefully as she walked on the red carpet, attracting countless media to take pictures.
Accompanying Nan Tao was Jiang Hui.
Jiang Hui's eyes and eyebrows were full of joy, and everyone could see that she was in a good mood at the moment.
Jiang Hui talked to Nan Tao all night long. They seemed to be just there for fun and there was no tension at all.
Suddenly, the host announced Nan Tao's name.
Nan Tao was still talking to Jiang Hui.
After Jiang Hui realized what was happening, she nudged Nan Tao in surprise and said, "I'm calling you. Come up quickly."
Nan Tao was a little confused.
Media reporters quickly captured this emotion and took a picture of it.
Nan Tao: "Why are you calling me?"
Jiang Hui smiled and said, "You won the Best Actress award."
Nan Tao was stunned and instinctively walked to the podium. Looking at the people below, her mind went blank.
After a long time, he spoke haltingly, and I didn't know what he said in the end.
#Nan Tao Award-winning actress#
#Nantao's award-winning speech#
#Nantao went to play and won a prize#
#Nan Tao confused#
#Nantao Mermaid#
Of course, countless entries related to Nantao became hot searches, and the topic skyrocketed.
After winning the title of Best Actress, Nan Tao became a top-tier celebrity, and her acting skills were especially recognized by directors in the circle. Many high-quality crews extended olive branches to Nan Tao, and there were countless high-quality scripts to choose from.
There are countless endorsements and constant invitations to various variety shows.
The number of her fans across all platforms has been growing at a terrifying rate, approaching 100 million.
To be honest, Nan Tao was a little nervous.
She originally worked hard just to increase her popularity and to protect herself from falling into a passive nightmare situation in the future. Now that everyone likes her so much, she is quite happy.
She quite likes her current job. Although it would be nice to just lie down and do nothing, work is more fun.
However, Nan Tao's achievement deeply hurt Rong Ya.
Since the last incident, Rong Ya has basically had no connection with the entertainment industry. She can only run commercial performances in small towns and cities, where she doesn't make much money and has to endure humiliation.
Seeing Nan Tao rising higher and higher, reaching a position that many female stars could not reach, jealousy and resentment filled his whole body.
Rong Ya called out to the system unwillingly, "I want Nan Tao to die! Don't you have any solution?! Aren't you going to take away Nan Tao's luck? As long as I can do it, I will do anything!"
The system, which had been unreachable for a long time, finally spoke: [Death is nothing. If you promise to sacrifice your luck, I can make her live a life worse than death.]
Rong Ya was a little scared, but jealousy quickly took over, "You say."
The system's cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind. "Find a way to get Yu Zhengyang into a car accident. As long as you're the first person he sees when he wakes up after losing his memory, you'll become his most beloved. At that point, all of Yu Zhengyang's luck will belong to me."
"How can I cause a car accident if I can't even see others?"
[You have a helper named Liu Yan. Contact her and she will help you.]
Rong Ya laughed wildly, "God help me! God help me!!"
——
After winning the award, Nan Tao was very busy, but fortunately she met more people and heard a lot of exciting news.
The only regret is that I ate too much melon and felt a little full, but I couldn’t share it with others. It was so hard to hold it in.
Occasionally, I would share it secretly with Yu Xue, but I could only hint at it and not say it directly.
After a period of calm in the entertainment industry, the storm suddenly turned violent and a big scandal broke out, shocking the entertainment industry and the outside world, comparable to a nuclear bomb.
First, a well-known paparazzi exposed a video. The video was very high-definition and anyone could see clearly who was in it.
That’s right, it’s just as everyone thought, one of the male protagonists is Gu Xuan.
The timeline is the night of the wrap party of "Fox Fairy". After leaving the party, Gu Xuan went straight to a high-end residential community with excellent privacy and confidentiality. It was obvious that the community was not affordable for ordinary people. All the residents were either rich or noble.
Each building in the community has one household per floor. In the video, Gu Xuan knocked on the door and out walked another male protagonist - Park Wenbin.
The video was so high definition that the expressions and lines on the two people's faces were clearly visible. Then the door closed and the two people entered the room.
The scene changed, and Gu Xuan and Park Wenbin started kissing passionately. Park Wenbin took off Gu Xuan's clothes, and when he saw the marks on Gu Xuan's body, his eyes became furious and his movements became more violent.
Gu Xuan refused to give in and, like a vengeful beast, provoked Park Wenbin in various ways.
While they were doing their work, they mentioned Qiu Jun, which became part of their play.
When netizens saw this video, they were stunned.
[Oh my god, Xiaodao opened his eyes with his butt.]
[This can't possibly be AI face-swapping as well.]
[I told you last time that it wasn't true, but you all refused to believe it. How could AI face-swapping technology be so advanced? Look at the expression and the lines, how realistic it is.]
[Brother, I am a technician, this is definitely a real person.]
【A pair of bitches. 】
[Park Moon-bin is stomping on the face of the Yu Group.]
[So the proposal a while ago was just a joke?]
[This is the first time I've seen a scumbag like Park Moon-bin.]
[This is a blatant marriage fraud, and it even targeted the eldest daughter of the Yu family.]
[If it were any other family, they would be against it. Why didn't the Yu Group react at all?]
[The eldest daughter of the Yu family is so pitiful.]
[It turns out that even rich people cannot escape the possibility of being deceived into marriage. ]
[We don't discriminate against homosexuals, but homosexuals who cheat on marriage are a dead end.]
Netizens were almost overwhelmingly cursing. The more they thought about it, the angrier they became, and the angrier they became, the harsher they cursed, almost cursing all their ancestors.
I thought it ended there, but the paparazzi released other evidence of Park Moon-bin's death.
Park Moon-bin's real estate certificate was exposed, and the address was exactly the same as the residence in the video. In addition, there were also footage of Park Moon-bin going in and out of get off work, which obviously could not be faked.
Not only that, the surveillance footage of Gu Xuan and Park Wenbin entering and leaving the community was also gradually exposed.
The most shocking thing is that a sponsorship agreement was also exposed, signed by Gu Xuan and Park Wenbin. This agreement confirmed the authenticity of the recent hot search, that Gu Xuan's sponsor was Park Wenbin, and the two were playing on the set.
Netizens across the country felt that they had been fooled and were finding all kinds of ways to curse the two people, without repeating themselves every day, which kept the topic at the top of the trending searches.
No matter how much money Park Moon-bin spent, he couldn't get rid of it. He was anxious and couldn't sleep at night.
Ever since he proposed to Yu Xue, Park Moon Bin deliberately bought trending searches to make it known to everyone. He calculated that the Yu family was concerned about Yu Xue's reputation and would not easily cancel the engagement.
Facts have proved that the decision was correct, and the Yu family never gave any indication of rejection.
He also profited from this and took over the Park Group again, severely striking back at those who had taken advantage of him.
But now, the situation has changed. The release of this video is equivalent to stomping on the face of the Yu family.
No matter how confident Park Wenbin was, he didn't believe that the Yu family would remain indifferent.
What he hated even more was that Gu Xuan actually dared to betray him!!!
