Chapter 81

Lin Yirou heard the thug's screams and felt pity for him. "Please let him go. He didn't do it on purpose. He must have been desperate and robbed him."

The woman who saw injustice and drew her sword to help looked up, and Nan Tao saw that it was Lu Yao.

Lu Yao was about to speak when Lin Yirou stopped her, "Thank you very much, but I didn't suffer any loss. Please let him go."

During the struggle, the gangster glared at Lu Yao and pulled out a knife from his pants, stabbing it at her.

Nan Tao shouted, "Lu Yao, get out of the way quickly."

However, no one could hear her voice.

A knife was thrust into Lu Yao's lower abdomen, and blood kept flowing out of her abdomen.

Lin Yirou was so frightened that she was stunned.

The gangster took the opportunity to pick up the mobile phone and money on the ground and quickly left the crime scene.

Nan Tao was so angry that she hit Lin Yirou, "What are you still standing there for? Call an ambulance."

Nan Tao looked at Lu Yao with a dazed look in her eyes. She had obviously lost too much blood and was about to faint.

Lin Yirou was still standing there blankly, crying foolishly.

Nan Tao was so annoyed that she kept circling around Lu Yao anxiously.

Finally, an old lady who was picking up trash in the alley saw it, quickly called 120 emergency number, and helped to call the police.

The scene changed, and Nan Tao saw her brother Nan Bo wearing a black suit and holding a black umbrella, attending Lu Yao's funeral. His eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he was dead silent.

Nan Tao circled around Nan Bo with heartache, and saw out of the corner of her eye that Lin Yiru was also attending the funeral, and she was furious.

Lin Yirou walked to Nan Bo with red eyes and cried, "Sister Lu was trying to save me. It's all my fault. If I could, I would rather take the knife for Sister Lu."

Nan Tao angrily slapped Lin Yiru, but she hit nothing but empty air, and she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.

Nan Bo stared at Lin Yiru's red and swollen eyes and eyebrows, stunned and dazed.

Nan Tao followed Nan Bo's line of sight and saw Lin Yirou's eyebrows and eyes. Only then did she notice that Lin Yirou's eyes were very similar to Lu Yao's.

While Nan Tao was stunned, the scene changed again.

She saw Nan Bo guarding Lin Yirou like a guardian angel, helping Lin Yirou solve all problems, but always turning a blind eye to Lin Yirou's various careless temptations.

Lin Yiru was heartbroken and entangled with another man.

The man's face was blurry, as if covered by a layer of gauze. Nan Tao couldn't see his appearance clearly, but she felt vaguely that he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

Afterwards, Nan Tao saw Lin Yiru juggling between two men and enjoying their pursuit.

Nan Tao was furious. She wondered if Lin Yiru had any shame. Especially when she saw Lin Yiru sneak into Nan Bo's office and steal the group's official seal for another man, her anger reached its peak.

Wasn't her brother good to Lin Yiru? Yet, Lin Yiru actually did such a treacherous thing.

Subsequently, the stock price of Nan Group plummeted, and hundreds of billions of market value evaporated overnight. The huge group was on the verge of collapse and in a precarious situation.

Nan Tao was very disappointed with Nan Bo. It was clearly Lin Yirou who indirectly killed Lu Yao, but her brother did not take revenge. Instead, he was obsessed with protecting Lin Yirou, as if he had lost his mind.

Just when Nan Tao was angry, she saw rows of words floating in the air, telling a sweet love story with Lin Yiru as the heroine, and Nan Bo as the most loyal and affectionate male supporting role by Lin Yiru's side.

Then, the text turned into pictures, revealing the final ending of the male supporting role.

Nan Tao saw Nan Bo said to Lin Yirou coldly: "You are not her!"

Then, Nan Bo went to Lu Yao's grave, stroked the photo on the tombstone, swallowed a large amount of sleeping pills, leaned quietly on the tombstone, and fell asleep peacefully like a sleeping boy.

Nan Tao screamed in horror, suddenly sat up from the bed, gasping for breath.

Yu Zhengyang held the person in his arms to comfort him, patting his back gently. "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Nan Tao hugged Yu Zhengyang's waist, buried her head in his arms, and said in a muffled voice: "We are all cannon fodder."

Yu Zhengyang didn't understand, "What?"

Nan Tao's voice was depressed and gloomy: "What if the world we live in is a novel, with many heroes and heroines in the novel, and we are all cannon fodder under the feet of others?"

Yu Zhengyang laughed and said, "Why do you think so?"

Nan Tao thought, how could I not think like this? I have already had two nightmares.

The first time I dreamed about it was a popular novel. She was a vicious female supporting role, and all the relatives and lovers around her liked the popular female protagonist. This time, the nightmare was about a sweet novel, and her brother Nan Bo was the affectionate male supporting role.

Haha, the world he lives in is a hodgepodge, with all kinds of novels, and they are all used to their full potential. His brother Nanbo alone plays two roles, one as an unimportant character in the popular novel, and the other as a loving supporting actor in the sweet novel.

Nan Tao: "Answer me first."

Yu Zhengyang pinched the delicate flesh on the back of Nan Tao's neck, thought for a moment, and answered seriously: "I will make them cannon fodder."

Nan Tao asked, "What if fate is irresistible?"

Yu Zhengyang raised his eyebrows: "You have to make your own way."

Nan Tao turned over and pressed on the man, "I think what you said makes sense."

Since his brother became Lin Yiru's guardian because of Lu Yao's death, what if Lu Yao hadn't died?

Nan Tao recalled the plot in her dream and the alley that night. If she could help Lu Yao avoid it, she would not have died.

Coming back to her senses, Nan Tao noticed that her pajamas had been stripped off, and pretended to be angry and asked, "What are you doing?"

Yu Zhengyang's handsome face carried a hint of cold temptation in the moonlight.

Nan Tao's heart beat faster and she was addicted to the man's beauty, instantly forgetting the lingering nightmare and the issue of being cannon fodder.

A smile flashed across Yu Zhengyang's eyes. He turned over and lowered his head to cover his mouth.

The southern peach tree hummed a few times, and then it didn't know what year it was.

The next day, Nan Tao got up late and hurriedly took Yu Ze on the plane to the destination for the seventh live recording of the mother taking care of the baby.

No matter how hard they tried, Nan Tao and her son were still the last group to land from the plane and get on the bus.

In order to cover up the marks on her neck and back, Nan Tao put a lot of foundation on her body and specially chose a long-sleeved dress with a flower bud neckline.

Jiang Hui laughed and asked, "Wearing such thick clothes?"

Nan Tao pretended to be calm and said, "Traditional Chinese medicine says that you should wear thicker clothes when you use the air conditioner, otherwise you will easily get uterine cold and stomach pain."

Wen Manqing: "You can wear something thinner inside and a small cardigan outside, otherwise it will be very hot outside when you get off the car."

Nan Tao was afraid she couldn't hold it in any longer, so she quickly picked up little Yang Xuan beside her and teased her, "Did you miss Aunt Taozi?"

Little Yang Xuan nestled shyly in Nan Tao's arms and said in a baby voice, "I do."

Nan Taomeng's heart melted and she gave little Yangxuan a kiss on the cheek.

Little Yangxuan became even more shy and buried her head in Nantao's arms and refused to come out.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Not long after, the program bus stopped in front of a two-story B&B. The B&B had a very ancient style, with a large courtyard in the front row. There was a man-made mini pond, a corridor with carved beams and painted buildings, and various ancient-style pavilions.

Behind the yard is a two-story ancient-style house that looks very distinctive.

As usual, the four groups of families stood in a straight line and listened to the village chief's introduction to Yunli City and the next tasks of the guests.

The task this time was not difficult. All we had to do was take care of the B&B behind us for the next three days and welcome every tourist. Compared to the previous ones, this one was so thoughtful and romantic.

After the village chief introduced the task, he left, leaving free space to the four groups of guests.

Nan Tao and his group pushed their suitcases into the B&B, opened the glass door, and saw a woman cleaning inside.

When the woman heard the door open, she put down the mop and bucket in her hands, stood up stiffly, and said shyly, "Hello, I'm the cleaner here, my name is Manshi."

Nan Tao was attracted by the woman's gentle voice and looked over. The woman had a simple low ponytail and a standard oval face with delicate features, but her face was pale and her body was thin, as if she was malnourished. Although she looked very young, her eyes had a sense of vicissitudes of life as if she had experienced many twists and turns.

"Hello, I'm Nan Tao, and the people around me are..." Nan Tao introduced everyone to Man Shi one by one, and finally said, "For the next three days, we will take care of this B&B."

Manshi nodded and said, "The boss told me, don't worry, I will clean it carefully."

Nan Tao felt a liking for Man Shi and said with a smile, "It's okay, don't feel pressured."

Manshi nodded, then left with the mop and bucket, apparently to get some water.

Nan Tao, Jiang Hui and others were assigned their respective tasks.

Since Nan Tao had experience as a cashier in an Internet cafe before, this time she is the cashier of the bento homestay, responsible for passengers' orders, order returns, charges and refunds.

Nan Tao was handling business at the cashier counter when she heard the sound of a suitcase being pushed and pulled at the door.

When I looked up, I saw a man and a woman pushing the door and walking in.

The woman wore a large woven sun hat on her head, a newly-ordered light yellow floral dress from M, new nude high heels from D, and a classic wide black bag from L on her shoulder. Her outfit was worth a lot of money.

The woman took off the sun hat on her head, revealing her small face. Her facial features didn't look perfect, but when put together, she had a uniquely pure temperament.

"Zhe, it's so hot~" The woman hugged the man's arm affectionately, her voice coquettish and coquettish.

Nan Tao felt a chill, she didn't expect the voice and the man's appearance to be so different. Her eyes couldn't help but fall on the man's face to see his reaction.

The man looks gentle and elegant, has a cool temperament, and is very tall, which matches well with the petite female companion beside him.

Yunzhe heard Li Qian's coquettishness and said lovingly, "I told you it's hot, but you insist on going out for a trip. What if you get too hot?"

Li Qian stuck out her tongue, coquettishly and aggrievedly saying, "I just wanted to hang out with you. You're busy with work every day, how long have you not been with me?"

Yunzhe pinched Li Qian's nose and said, "I've spoiled you."

Li Qian leaned against Yunzhe affectionately, "Who told you to like me?"

The two walked to the cashier counter.

Nan Tao took the two people's ID cards and saw the names of Li Qian and Yunzhe on them. Then she entered the ID cards to check the order. The two of them booked a double bed room. They were a single man and a single woman, obviously a couple.

"This is your room card, please take it." Nan Tao said.

Yunzhe took it and said, "Thank you."

Yunzhe handed the room card to Li Qian and said, "Take it and go inside first. I'll go get the rest of the suitcases."

Li Qian: "No, please accompany me to the room first and then go get the suitcase."

Yunzhe: "Don't make trouble, I will be back soon."

Li Qian: "You don't know how to be kind. I was worried you were too hot and wanted you to rest for a while."

Yunzhe lowered his head and kissed the top of Li Qian's head, "Be obedient."

Li Qian smiled happily, "Okay, go ahead."

Nan Tao watched the two showing their affection in front of her and was forced to eat a mouthful of dog food.

Li Qian pushed the suitcase and walked towards the stairs in high heels. At the corner, she bumped into Man Shi who was carrying a bucket and a mop.

The water in the bucket spilled all over the floor, and some drops accidentally splashed onto Li Qian's skirt.

Li Qian saw the face of the woman who lowered her head to apologize, narrowed her eyes, raised her hand and slapped her.
