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 25
After a burst of passion, Lu Duo nestled in Zhu Jun's arms and panted, "Don't worry, Jun, I will help you with everything. You will definitely rise higher and higher in the entertainment industry."
Zhu Jun pinched the tip of Lu Duo's nose and said, "Duo'er, I'm glad you're by my side."
In the blink of an eye, another day passed, and the sun was already high in the sky.
Nan Tao was awakened by a ringing phone. She closed her eyes and groped for her phone in a daze, "Who is it?"
"Sleeping?"
"Hmm~"
A few minutes later, Nan Tao regained consciousness and looked at her phone, which was still on. "Husband?"
"Hmm, awake?"
Nan Tao guessed that he probably knew what happened yesterday. She had just coaxed her brother yesterday, and now she wanted to coax him again. She said coquettishly, "Don't interfere. I want to handle it myself."
"Taotao."
Nan Tao couldn't stand this low, barely perceptible sound of grievance, so she quickly said, "I'm very capable and won't be bullied. I'll come to you if I need anything."
"Will you need it?"
Nan Tao: “Of course…”
After a long period of coaxing, I finally managed to appease him and made him promise not to interfere and let me handle it.
Nan Tao lay exhausted on the bed, feeling somewhat confused. Why did she feel that something was not right with Yu Zhengyang recently? He seemed to be more clingy to her than before?
Forget it, I can’t figure it out, so I won’t think about it anymore. Let him do whatever he wants.
Not long after Nan Tao got up and washed up, she received a call from the director of Mom's Babysitting, asking her to take Yu Ze to the Doudou annual live broadcast dinner tomorrow night, and other parent-child guests would also be there.
Nan Tao certainly would not miss such an occasion with many opportunities to eat melons, and readily agreed.
In order to appear beautiful in front of the live broadcast netizens tomorrow, Nan Tao made an appointment with Jiang Hui to go for a beauty SPA.
However, Nan Tao does not undergo plastic surgery. She prefers to age naturally and only does basic skin care in beauty salons.
After waiting for a while in the beauty salon's customer lounge, I saw Jiang Hui appear wearing large black-rimmed sunglasses and a light yellow dress.
Nan Tao joked, "You're dressed very young this year. You look like an eighteen-year-old girl."
Jiang Hui smiled and said, "She's still eighteen. I'll be satisfied if she looks like she's twenty-three or twenty-four."
Led by the waiter, the two entered the SPA room. The room was clean and tidy, with fresh air. There were two narrow beds and a cart next to the beds, which was filled with bottles and jars.
The two of them lay on the bed, enjoying the massage and chatting.
Jiang Hui confided in Nan Tao, "Taotao, I want to adopt Zhan Li."
Nan Tao was surprised, "Have you thought it through?"
Jiang Hui: "I feel a connection with this child. He is so kind to me that I can't help but want to be nice to him. Maybe because he looks like me, it reminds me of my lost son."
Nan Tao: "That's a good thing. Are you worried that if you adopt Zhan Li and treat him well, you will be sorry for your son?"
Jiang Hui: "Yes."
Nan Tao: "You can actually think about it from another perspective. If you raise him well, then when you find your son, there will be two people who will love him doubly. Isn't that good?"
Jiang Hui's eyes lit up. "You make sense. Why didn't I think of that?"
Nan Tao laughed: "When you look at your own affairs, you are usually blinded by one thing... Zhan Li is a good child. If you raise him well, he will definitely be filial to you in the future."
Jiang Hui: "Zhan Li is indeed a good child. I wish he were my biological child."
Nan Tao suddenly had an idea: "What if he is your biological son?"
Jiang Hui said angrily, "How can there be such a coincidence?"
Nan Tao thought so too. If Zhan Li was Jiang Hui’s lost son, that would be too outrageous. There was no such coincidence in the world.
The two of them continued chatting about other things for a while.
Jiang Hui: "Are you okay with Zhu Jun? Don't take this kind of scumbag to heart. Just think of it as your bad luck stepping on a pile of shit."
Nan Tao: "It's okay, don't worry. Anyway, I didn't suffer any loss from this matter. I even gained more than 500,000 fans. Thank you for your support, my good sisters~"
Speaking of this, Nan Tao was still quite moved. At that time, the whole network was scolding her. Before the evidence came out, Jiang Hui and Zhou Mei supported her without hesitation. She was very moved, especially Zhou Mei, who looked cold and weird in temper, but turned out to be a warm-hearted person and a very nice person.
Jiang Hui breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Some people can't get over the slander and the blow they suffer, and their lives may be ruined."
Nan Tao laughed heartily: "I'm such a big-hearted person. I usually take revenge on the spot. You don't know that I kicked Zhu Jun's penis that day. I don't know if it was damaged or not. In the end, he was admitted to the hospital, haha..."
Jiang Hui gave a thumbs-up: "You're amazing! There wasn't even a ripple on the internet about this."
Nan Tao: "Of course he wouldn't dare to expose such a shameful thing."
After completing the SPA and skin care, the two left the beauty salon and went straight to the luxury goods mall to shop, carrying large and small bags.
After returning home, Nan Tao collapsed exhausted on the oversized soft sofa in the living room.
Yu Ze came down from upstairs after finishing his studies, "Mommy, you're back."
Nan Tao: "My dear son, have you just finished studying again?"
Yu Ze nodded, ran into the kitchen to pour a glass of water, and handed it to Nan Tao: "Drink it, Mommy."
Nan Tao: "Thank you, my dear son. Son, you should go out and play more often, instead of staying in your room studying all the time."
Her son is not like her in terms of studying. She has been a poor student since she was a child. Her IQ is far inferior to that of her husband and elder brother. She doesn't like to study and just plays all day long.
Her son inherited his father's genes and studies every day. He is only six years old now, but she can't understand the books he reads. In a few years, she will probably become illiterate in front of her son.
Yu Ze nodded: "I understand."
Nan Tao: "Mommy will take you to the Doudou platform's live broadcast dinner tomorrow. Your aunt Jiang Hui, Aunt Zhou Mei and others will also be there."
The next night came in a flash.
At night, the moon hangs high in the sky, the stars twinkle, and the city is bustling with neon lights.
Nan Tao brought Yu Ze out of the nanny car and was greeted with screams from fans.
Nan Tao was wearing a bright red dress that set off her snow-white skin. She was holding hands with Yu Ze, who was wearing a children's tuxedo, looking cool and handsome.
"Taotao Taotao, I love you!"
"Ahhh, I saw Taotao, she's so beautiful, I'm going to faint from beauty."
"Look here, little babe! I love you so much!"
"Baby Ze is so handsome!"
Nan Tao waved and smiled at everyone, then walked towards the red carpet holding Yu Ze's hand.
There were safety lines on both sides of the red carpet. Inside the lines were security guards maintaining order, and outside the lines were reporters from major domestic media outlets and fans of various celebrities.
The mother and son walked on the red carpet and headed towards the autograph wall not far away under the lights of reporters.
Nan Tao lowered her head and asked, "Are you nervous?"
Yu Ze's face was tense and he shook his head coldly.
Nan Tao took Yu Zegang to the autograph wall, and a burst of heart-wrenching and uniform shouts and screams came from the red carpet entrance.
"Zhu Jun Zhu Jun I love you!"
"Zhu Jun Zhu Jun you are the most handsome!"
"Jun fans, Jun fans will always be with you!"
"Ahhh, Zhu Jun is so handsome, I'm going to faint."
"Zhu Jun Zhu Jun, look at me."
"Guan Rou Guan Rou I love you!"
"Zhu Jun and Guan Rou, you two are the best match!"
"Zhu Jun and Guan Rou are a perfect match!"
Not far away, Zhu Jun, with a face that he thought was handsome, smiled charmingly at his fans, causing them to scream.
Zhu Jun put his arm around Guan Rou's waist, stood in the middle of the red carpet, and struck various poses towards the reporters. The two of them looked very intimate, as if they were in love.
Guan Rou was very angry with him because of Nan Tao's matter. This time, Zhu Jun took great pains to convince Guan Rou to cooperate with him. He tried every possible means to convince this old lady.
It is impossible for Zhu Jun not to be angry. Guan Rou is too impulsive. She looks like a weak little white flower, but in fact she has a strong temper and is clear about gratitude and resentment. If the two of them had not attracted many CP fans and had not been tied together with many endorsements, it is even suspected that Guan Rou would break up without hesitation.
Zhu Jun hugged Guan Rou and came to the autograph wall, and happened to pass by Nan Tao and her son.
Nan Tao smiled provocatively at Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun's eyes were gloomy.
Guan Rou pulled Zhu Jun, "Don't forget what you promised me!"
Zhu Jun looked embarrassed, and after a long while he managed to utter a few words to Nan Tao, "I'm sorry."
Nan Tao was surprised. Zhu Jun would apologize?
Looking at Zhu Jun's shit-like face, and then looking at Guan Rou who was smiling as softly as a little white flower, he understood instantly and couldn't help but become curious about Guan Rou.
Guan Rou smiled and said, "What happened between you and Ajun was his fault. I asked him to apologize to you. There won't be a next time."
Nan Tao: "You are very good."
Guan Rou looks delicate, but I didn't expect her to be so clear about gratitude and resentment, and so straightforward. However, her eyesight isn't very good. She fell in love with a scumbag and was cheated on by a mistress. Alas, pitiful. I'll see if there's a chance to remind her later.
"Have you eaten melon today?" suddenly appeared on the live broadcast screen, attracting many people to watch. Some of them were netizens who had not watched the third season of "Mom Takes Baby to Travel" and had not personally experienced the fighting power of this god. Some of them had been following "Have you eaten melon today?" all the way, and when they saw him/her floating on the screen, they were instantly excited.
Oh my god, "Have you eaten melon today?" appears in this kind of situation!
[There's going to be a big reveal today, brothers and sisters, hurry up and tell everyone! ]
Guan Rou is being cheated on by a mistress? Who? Could it be Zhu Jun?
[That's impossible! Aren't Zhu Jun and Guan Rou the couple Guan Xuan? Could it be that they're just fake and are actually in separate relationships?]
[Who is this scumbag? Tell me now! ]
[Stop suspense, are you going to tell me or not?]
[Where are you? Why did you disappear? Come out quickly, everyone is waiting for you.]
The person in charge of the live broadcast on the Doudou platform couldn't stop smiling when he saw the surge in the number of online viewers.
Nan Tao took Yu Ze down the red carpet, sat them according to their seats, and came to the seating area for the third season of "Mom Takes Her Baby on a Trip".
Zhou Mei was already sitting there with Yang Xuan, who was eating a lollipop cutely.
Nan Tao let go of Yu Ze's hand and picked up little Yang Xuan. "Our Xuan Xuan has become cuter again. Auntie loves you so much."
Yang Xuan shyly hid under Nan Tao's neck and leaned against her, "Auntie Taozi~"
Nan Tao sat down holding Yang Xuan, greeted the program director next to her, and then turned her head to talk to Zhou Mei.
As they were talking, Jiang Hui and Zhan Li also came.
After Jiang Hui greeted him, she lowered her head and said to Zhan Li, "Don't run around when there are so many people here today. Stay with Xiaoze. The two of you can look after each other."
Zhan Li's long hair covered his eyebrows and eyes, and he sat quietly next to Yu Ze.
The two cool little boys sat together, neither of them saying a word, each in silence.
An hour later, actors, stars, and singers appeared and sat in the venue.
Half an hour later, Doudou's annual live broadcast gala officially began. The host delivered an opening speech on the stage, which made everyone laugh.
After the opening remarks, the awards ceremony began, including the most popular star of the year, the most popular anchor, the best live variety show, etc.
Nan Tao was bored and kept chatting with Jiang Hui, then she drank a lot of water because her mouth was dry.
Finally, the host announced the name of the third season of "Mom and Baby Traveling". Under the leadership of the program director, the guest mothers and children followed on stage and stood in a row behind the director. The director gave the official acceptance speech on behalf of the program.
After getting off the stage, Nan Tao couldn't hold back her urge to go to the bathroom because she drank too much water.
"Huihui, are you going?" Nan Tao asked.
Jiang Hui: "Go away, don't drink so much water next time."
However, it was probably the same for everyone. The party was too boring, and they could only pass the time by chatting. The more they talked, the more water they drank, so Nan Tao and Jiang Hui looked for one toilet after another, and finally found a not-so-clean one in a corner of the alley outside the building.
There's no other way, I'll just have to make do with it for now.
After taking care of their physiological needs, Nan Tao and Jiang Hui relaxed. The children were being looked after by Zhou Mei and the director, and they didn't know when the party would end, so they decided to go eat some barbecue before going back.
I had only taken a few steps when I suddenly heard an argument coming from the innermost part of the alley. The voices sounded very familiar.
Nan Tao and Jiang Hui looked at each other, then turned to look in the direction of the sound and vaguely saw a man and two women.
Nan Tao: "Go?"
Jiang Hui: "Go!"
The two sisters moved forward slowly, crouching and walking on tiptoe, like thieves.
However, while the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. Two paparazzi were broadcasting live with their mobile phones. After Nan Tao and Jiang Hui turned around, they came out from behind the discarded door panels against the wall at the entrance of the alley and followed them with their backs hunched.
The netizens who were watching the live broadcast died of laughter.
What are they doing? Other female celebrities are so elegant and noble, but they look like thieves.
[This is so funny! These two are so funny! It would be a shame if they didn't do a skit.]
What are they doing? So sneaky.
[Sisters, look, it seems like someone is arguing.]
In the picture, Nan Tao and Jiang Hui saw that the people arguing were Guan Rou, Zhu Jun and Lu Duo.
Guan Rou slapped Zhu Jun fiercely and yelled, "How dare you go behind my back and hang out with her! Are you worthy of me?"
Going back more than ten minutes, although Lu Duo was generous with Zhu Jun and Guan Rou being a couple, he was her husband after all, so how could she not be jealous? When she walked on the red carpet today, she saw Zhu Jun hugging Guan Rou and kissing her affectionately, which made her jealous. So the two of them huddled in this remote corner where no one could be found and kissed passionately.
Unexpectedly, there happened to be no empty toilet in the building, so Guan Rou had to find one outside. She saw her boyfriend, who was so affectionate to her, cheating on her with his female agent behind her back.
Netizens on the live broadcast were screaming and filling the screen with comments, throwing gifts crazily.
【OMG, caught cheating! 】
[The wife fights the mistress? ]
【Wuhu~Exciting!!】
[Sisters, who is the woman Zhu Jun is protecting? ]
