Chapter 89 Happy Hug and Kiss
At the same time, in another guest suite.
When Yuan Meng was sitting on the sofa drinking milk, her eyes turned red and tears streamed down her face. She cried in grievance but made no sound.
When Yuan Ting and Zhang Yu came out of the bedroom after packing their clothes, they saw their daughter crying silently and felt heartbroken.
Zhang Yu immediately picked up her daughter and whispered, "Dear baby, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying while eating milk? Is your mouth hot?"
Yuan Meng wiped away her tears with her little hands, grabbed the bottle, and said softly, "Mom, Mengbao is fine, Mengbao is just heartbroken."
Hearing the little girl use the word "heartache", Yuan Ting, as a father, felt distressed: "Mengbao, why are you suddenly heartbroken? Did someone make you unhappy?"
Yuan Meng bit her lip, shook her head and said, "It's okay. If you feel wronged, just bear it yourself. If you tell me, Mom and Dad will definitely be unhappy!"
Zhang Yu immediately realized something and asked her, "Mengbao, tell me the truth. Did that Cao Pipi bully you? Was it on the way back just now?"
Yuan Meng cried in a wronged voice, "Mom, I'm really fine. When I came back, Cao Pipi and I went to the bathroom together, and she pushed me to the ground and grabbed my hair. I didn't dare to say it. I was afraid that if I told the cameraman, they would think I was wrongly accusing her... Mom, do you believe me?"
Zhang Yu exploded upon hearing this and cursed, "Great, you're bullying us! Husband! We can't just let this go! The production team putting pressure on them isn't enough. You saw today, their family stole the show. I just asked the staff privately. Our traffic was originally number one today, but as soon as Xue Qi's hot pot came out, it immediately dropped, even to last place. With them around, it's hard for our little Mengbao to stand out on this show. Husband, we can't let them take first place."
Yuan Ting frowned and said, "Don't worry, they won't get first place. Although they stole the show today, starting tomorrow, they will use the blind box style stall. When that time comes, the production team will cover all the food trucks, and ours will be the first one. Xue Qi and his team's food truck will be in the last area. They can't win and can't take first place."
Having said that, Zhang Yu was still worried.
She said, "Honey, the food we cook is all provided by the production team. Do you think it's possible for the production team to tamper with their ingredients?"
The couple discussed the bad things without hiding anything from their daughter.
Yuan Meng was also very understanding. She started drinking milk from the bottle and did not disturb her parents' discussion.
Yuan Ting frowned: "What do you mean? It's not appropriate. If this gets exposed and it leads to us, we will all be in trouble."
Zhang Yu said, "Husband, are you really willing to let their family steal the show? Don't forget how disgusting and scheming that family is. They actually let that little fat girl bully our Mengbao. I always feel that with them around, it's hard for us to get ahead. You saw today that Shi Yuanbao's attitude towards our Mengbao and that little fat girl is completely different. I'm afraid that if a few more episodes are filmed, our Mengbao will be isolated..."
After hearing what his wife said, Yuan Ting became more and more dissatisfied.
He was silent for a while and called director Liu Chanyu on the landline.
About ten minutes later, Liu Chanyu knocked on the door and came in: "Old Yuan, why did you call me over so late? Is there something wrong?"
Yuan Ting hooked Liu Chanyu's shoulder, led him into the house, and winked at his wife.
Then, his wife took off her diamond ring worth three million and stuffed it into Liu Chanyu's hand: "Old Liu, you and our old Yuan have been together for more than ten years. We want to ask you for a favor."
Liu Chanyu didn't hesitate and put the ring back into her pocket.
This ring was once on the news. It is a diamond ring worth three million. Even if it is sold second-hand now, the price will only go up and not down.
He smiled and said, "Look at what you are saying. We are so close now, just say whatever you want to say."
Yuan Ting and Zhang Yu told him their plan.
Liu Chanyu frowned: "Although there is no problem, if this is discovered, the risk is too great..."
Yuan Ting said, "Old Liu, you know I'm on this show to train my daughter to be a top child star. Xue Qi's family is standing in the way, clearly stealing the limelight from our Meng Bao. Don't worry, after the show, I promise to give you all the advertising fees from my daughter's first endorsement."
This is not a small amount of money, so Liu Chanyu was naturally tempted.
Zhang Yu added fuel to the fire: "Old Liu, think about it, this is mutually beneficial for both you and us. And Xue Qi is just an internet celebrity. Even if we slander her, it won't cause any trouble. We won't be able to complain if we want to. Besides, her husband is a complete loser, just a small employee. He won't cause any big trouble. What are you afraid of?"
Liu Chanyu thought about it carefully and felt that what they said made sense.
If the diners really showed signs of food poisoning after eating Xue Qi's food, their program team could still use this to discredit Xue Qi's family and become the hot topic again.
The more weird things happen in the program group, the more hot topics there will be.
Liu Chanyu accepted the money, and wanting to profit from both ends, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements. The diners at the kindergarten are mostly teachers and children. If the children show symptoms of food poisoning, Xue 77's family will definitely be to blame. At that time, it is not impossible to ask them to compensate the program team and withdraw."
Zhang Yu smiled and said, "That's great. They come on the show to make money, but if something goes wrong, not only will they lose money, but they'll also lose their reputation."
Liu Chanyu stood up and said, "Okay, that's it for now. I'll figure it out tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll definitely take this matter to heart and see it through for you."
After seeing Liu Chanyu off, Yuan Ting and Zhang Yu tacitly settled a score.
Although Zhang Yu felt sorry for her diamond ring, she no longer felt sorry when she thought that it was paving the way for her child.
Yuan Ting patted his wife's shoulder and said, "Don't feel bad. When Xiao Mengbao becomes famous and a top child star, won't he have to worry about making money?"
Zhang Yu nodded, and then looked at Xiao Mengbao who was already asleep on the sofa.
She carried her daughter back to the bedroom and covered her with a quilt.
But Yuan Meng didn't fall asleep at all. She listened to the adults' conversation.
Previous life.
Before she was eight years old, Yuan Meng always believed that her parents loved her and that she was the apple of her parents' eyes.
But when she broke her leg while filming at the age of eight, she realized that she was just a tool for her parents to make money and take away their fame and fortune.
When she broke her leg and could no longer be a child star, her parents often spoke harshly to her.
When drunk, her father would even whip her with a whip and angrily scold her: "You money-loser! I spent so much money on you, and you've become a useless person! What's the point of giving birth to you?"
She was beaten by her father until her skin was torn and she lifted up her sleeves to show her mother, crying, "Mom, Mengbao is in pain. Mom, can you blow on Mengbao?"
But her mother ignored her, letting her wound fester and even scolding her: "Why don't you just die?"
Yuan Meng was disappointed again and again in her expectations and lived in a daze.
Her parents made her sleep in the basement, forbade her from going to school, and even forbade her from leaving the house. After her sister was born, she often saw her parents swinging on the garden swing with her sister, and the venom in her heart continued to grow.
Later, out of jealousy, she tricked her sister into the mountains, where she nearly died. The venomous snake's parents completely disowned her and kicked her out of the house.
Yuan Meng's life was miserable, and the cause of her misery was that she had such a pair of cruel and indifferent parents.
After being reborn, she had no feelings for the parents and no longer had any expectations of them. She only wanted to use them and squeeze out their remaining value.
She knew that if she just added a little fuel to the fire, this extremely utilitarian pair of parents would definitely use all kinds of dirty tricks to deal with Cao Pipi.
After all, they suppressed other children in this way in their previous lives, making themselves stand out from the many cute babies.
After Yuan Meng fell asleep, her mental power was stolen by the [Shenlong] virus, and the [Shenlong] also noticed Xue Qi's family.
It has been monitoring the dynamics of this world, and every time a "female protagonist" fails to rise, Xue Qi is present. It suspects that Xue Qi is the "anti-virus software" of the main god system.
[Divine Dragon] intended to invade Xue Qi's mental power, but was bounced back by a huge energy and could not invade at all.
Its current strength is too weak and it can only fall into sleep again.
-
Nearing midnight.
After the little Pixiu finished drinking a bucket of milk powder and was full, he planned to go back to his little room to sleep.
Before she entered the room, she told Cao Feng and Xue Qi:
"Mom and Dad, I'm full and have plenty of energy. Please don't disturb me tonight! Pipi feels his divine power growing, so he needs to work hard to break through tonight. Please don't come in! Pipi doesn't want you to see him at his ugliest!"
Xue Qi and Cao Feng watched the little Pixiu walk into the second bedroom.
The little Pixiu climbed onto the bed, covered himself with the soft duvet, and curled himself up into a ball. Then his four paws turned into chubby crocodile paws, and his little tail also swung in the quilt.
She curled herself up and completely turned into a big-eared Pixiu.
The energy of the little Pixiu began to leak out. Its big ears swung, and gold, silver and treasures flowed out of it.
The gold, silver and treasures soon piled up into a small mountain and buried her inside.
This world is not like her original world. It has abundant spiritual energy. Monsters can practice with the abundant spiritual energy and thus increase their spiritual power.
But today, the little Pixiu suddenly felt abundant spiritual energy.
Although the spiritual energy burst out only twice, she subconsciously stored the spiritual energy into the dragon pill.
With this spiritual energy, the little Pixiu no longer needs gold, silver, or treasures to maintain its magical power. It can even quickly transform into a lucky animal and bring prosperity to its parents.
…
In the living room.
Xue Qi yawned and said to Cao Feng, "Hubby, let's go to bed too. We have to get up early to record the show tomorrow."
"good."
Xue Qi felt pain in his calf and hammered it when he stood up.
Cao Feng noticed her little movement and asked, "What's wrong? Are your legs sore?"
Xue Qi nodded: "Yeah. Maybe I stood for too long today. Not only are my legs sore, but my waist is also a little swollen and painful."
Cao Feng glanced at her, then picked her up and carried her horizontally towards the master bedroom.
He put Xue Qi on the bed, turned her over, and massaged her waist and sore calf muscles.
Xue Qi lay on the bed thinking about what happened today and said, "The production team is targeting us now, we can't just accept it. We are all guests, why do they only oppress us? Yuan Ting relies on his strong connections in the fruit station and uses his connections in the production team to make things difficult for us. He wants to see us embarrassed, and we won't let him have his way. I'm not a person who likes to stir up trouble, but if they bully us, we can't just sit there and wait for death."
Cao Feng pinched her sore calf muscles and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Xue Qi said, "It depends. I have a feeling that family won't stop."
Cao Feng also said: "What a coincidence, I have one too."
When Cao Feng finished massaging her and lay down to sleep, Xue Qi suddenly hugged him and looked at her affectionately.
Cao Feng was afraid she would say something chilling, so he preemptively said, "77, I love you."
Xue Qi was not happy about being interrupted. She asked back, "How much do you love me? I've seen heroes in romance novels willing to die for the heroines. Can you do that?"
"no."
Cao Feng answered decisively and straightforwardly.
Xue Qi raised his eyebrows and clenched his fists.
Cao Feng explained, "My parents gave birth to me and raised me, and the country nurtured me into a person of character. My life can't revolve solely around you. Cao Yue needs my care, Pippi needs his father, and my company needs me. My survival wasn't easy, and it involved the sacrifices of so many people. This makes me cherish life even more. But if you're in danger, I'll do my utmost to protect you."
This man will not say any touching love words, nor will he say to her like most male protagonists in romance novels, "I love you, and I would even die for you."
But if Xue Qi is really in danger, he will still do his best to protect him.
It was not until this moment that Xue Qi understood the difference between this man and Sun Fugui and Chu Cheng.
He is a gentle and powerful man.
Xue Qi looked at the man's resolute facial features, and her soft heart was suddenly hit by something. The man in front of her didn't say anything, but his eyes overflowed with an inexplicable tenderness that made her intoxicated.
Only then did she realize that she had fallen in love with this man.
Or maybe, the seeds of love were planted a long time ago, and they took root, sprouted, and flourished in the future.
Xue Qi looked at the man and curled the corners of her lips, with sweetness written all over her face.
Cao Feng asked her, "What are you thinking about?"
Xue Qi: "I was thinking about the night we went to Institute 05. You dried my damp bedding from top to bottom. The cotton became fluffy and soft, and even smelled like sunshine."
She took a breath on the man's chest and said, "Now that I think about it, that shouldn't be the smell of sunshine, it should be your smell."
Cao Feng was so aroused by his wife's behavior that his whole body became hot.
Xue Qi said to him: "Oh no, husband, I think I really fell in love with you."
Cao Feng smiled and said, "I am honored that I no longer have to suffer the fate of a one-sided marriage."
Xue Qi nibbled on his chin provocatively, leaving a slight mark of teeth knocking against each other. "Let me ask you, when did you start liking me?"
Cao Feng thought carefully and said, "It should be in Institute 05."
Xue Qi was puzzled: "Why?"
Cao Feng couldn't explain it either, and jokingly said, "Do men and women need detailed reasons for being attracted to each other?"
Xue Qi nodded: "That's right. Then let me ask you, do you have any secrets that you haven't told me?"
Cao Feng nodded and admitted: "Yes. But I can't tell you now."
Xue Qi asked back: "Is it a work secret, or?"
Cao Feng replied: "Work is also life."
Xue Qi was not a curious person. When she was with Cao Feng, she never asked him about his past in detail. One reason was that she was afraid of uncovering his past scars, and the other was that she really didn't care about it before.
But now she really began to like this man, and she became curious about Cao Feng's past.
Xue Qi endured it again and again and said, "Okay. If you don't want to tell me, then I won't force you. Go to sleep, good night."
"Yeah. Goodnight."
Xue Qi extended his forehead forward and said, "Kiss."
Cao Feng was stunned for a moment, and then kissed her on the forehead.
Xue Qi stretched out his left cheek again.
Cao Feng gave her another kiss.
Xue Qi turned and moved his right cheek and lips forward, and Cao Feng kissed them one by one.
Xue Qi said, "From now on, you have to do this every night, understand? And when we're video chatting remotely, we have to do this before saying goodnight, okay?"
Cao Feng was a little uncomfortable with his wife's sudden clinginess, but he was overjoyed.
He held Xue Qi in his arms and slept with his wife in his arms, only then did he feel at ease.
In the darkness, Xue Qi lazily said, "Tell me when you're ready to talk. Good night."
Cao Feng whispered, "Well, I'll tell you eventually. But when the time comes, you can be angry, but you can't ask for a divorce from me."
Xue Qi laughed out loud: "What secret are you hiding? If I knew, I would divorce you. Did you have a wife before? Is Cao Yue your illegitimate child?"
Cao Feng: "It's not that ridiculous."
"It's okay if it's not so melodramatic. Good night, go to sleep."
Xue Qi laughed out loud, closed his eyes and prepared to go to sleep.
She didn't think that the secret Cao Feng was hiding was that big. He wouldn't tell her that he was a hidden top billionaire, right?
-
The next day the program crew will be recording and will need to sell food like they did yesterday.
The only difference today was that the four dining cars were not only relocated but also completely covered up.
From the outside, you have no idea which families the dining cars belong to.
The production team not only covered all the food carts with cloth, but also moved Xue Qi to the last, inconspicuous seat, and moved Yuan Meng's family to the spot where Xue Qi's food cart was yesterday.
Xue Qi’s hotpot has been well received, and today the teachers and students will definitely come back to enjoy their hotpot again.
Yuan Meng's group's food truck was at Xue Qi's original location, so they could enjoy the bonus of the crowds that Xue Qi and his group had yesterday.
When netizens in the live broadcast room saw this, they also felt that it was inappropriate:
"Did I see correctly? The production team put Xue Qi and the others in the last, inconspicuous position, and gave Xue Qi and the others' original position to Yuan Meng's family?"
"Ah... this is making things difficult for them, right?"
"I think it's a tactic, too. But the production team definitely has their reasons for making this arrangement. After all, it's all about fair competition. 77's cooking is so delicious, and the kindergarten teachers and students can't stop eating the hot pot. You can't blame the production team for making more rules to curb them!"
"Xue Qi and his family were paid to record the show. Since they accepted the money, they should obey the production team's rules and bring traffic to the show, right? How can this be called a dilemma? If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Don't you understand?"
"1. I think the production team did the right thing. I'll continue to wait and see."
…
It was noon again, and the four families started cooking their own delicious food according to the time.
The teachers and children came to the "snack street" excitedly, but found that all the food trucks were covered up, and they couldn't tell which one was the hot pot from yesterday.
Even so, most of the teachers and students lined up and took Xue Qi's seat yesterday.
In order to conceal the food sold in the food trucks, the staff said: "Because the program team temporarily changed the rules, after everyone chooses a food truck, they need to hand in their virtual currency. Successful handing in of the virtual currency will be considered a successful purchase of the food!"
Yuan Ting and Zhang Yu, a couple in the dining car, looked at each other and were confident.
In this case, their dining car must have the most people!
But at the same time, the little Pixiu in Xue Qi's dining cart took out a gold leaf from somewhere and handed it to Xue Qi: "Mom! This is a gold leaf that brings good fortune. Pipi gives it to you! It can help Mom to have better fortune!"
Xue Qi took the gold leaf, and soon saw a subtitle appear on the gold leaf:
[Golden leaves made of Pixiu, wealth 50. ]
She put the gold leaves in her pocket and started cooking.
Netizens in the live broadcast room saw that the diners all went to Yuan Meng's group's food truck, and there was a long line outside. However, there were only ten people outside Xue Qi's food truck.
Comparing the two, there is a huge gap in popularity, and Xue Qi's side is very bleak.
Barrage:
"I feel so bad for 77. 77, please stop doing this. There are only ten people lined up outside your food truck. You might not even make 500 yuan today!"
"Yuan Meng's team, who came in last yesterday, at least made 500. Looking at the queue outside Xue Qi's food truck, I'm afraid even 100 is on the line!"
"There's no need for this competition, right? Xue Qi lost miserably! Yuan Meng's team won hands down!"
Just when they had given up hope on Xue Qi's group, the style of the live broadcast suddenly changed.
The diners who were originally queuing up to pay virtual currency to Yuan Meng's group suddenly turned to Xue Qi's food cart.
They lined up in front of Xue Qi's food truck and willingly handed over virtual currency to the staff outside the food truck.
The director was caught off guard by this sudden change.
The director asked, “What’s going on?”
Immediately, a staff member went to interview the children queuing outside Xue Qi's food truck: "Why did you all suddenly change direction? Weren't you queuing at that food truck just now?"
The gap-toothed kid answered honestly, "Because I seemed to smell something fragrant just now. It was the smell of hot pot!"
The other children also said:
"Yeah! We smelled the aroma too, and we wanted to give money to this food truck!"
"I don't know why, but the food in this food truck smells so good, I want to spend my money on it!"
The staff member sniffed carefully. He thought he had a keen sense of smell, but he didn't smell the fragrance that the children described at all.
After the staff collected all the virtual coins, Xue Qi began to distribute meals.
When Xue Qi started to prepare the meal, the little Pixiu asked Cao Feng to hold her in an abnormal manner.
She took off the microphone, leaned close to Cao Feng's ear and whispered something.
Cao Feng frowned and looked at the working group outside the field, then took the yams and tomatoes from the side dish area and dumped them all into the trash can.
Xue Qi asked him, "What are you doing?"
Cao Feng said, "It seems a little spoiled and unfit for consumption. Bring other dishes to boil."
Xue Qi said "Oh" and then continued to prepare food for the diners.
Xue Qi's group earned even more than yesterday, breaking through 7,000 yuan. On the other hand, Yuan Meng's group earned less than 100 yuan.
When Yuan Ting and Zhang Yu learned the result, they almost exploded with anger.
Yuan Meng immediately calmed her parents' emotions with a few words so that they would not lose control of their expressions in front of the camera.
She said, "It's okay, Mom and Dad. Let's keep working hard tomorrow! Who knows, maybe there will be a miracle tomorrow!"
After being reminded, Zhang Yu and Yuan Ting looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
Yes. There will definitely be a miracle.
Tonight, the news that Xue Qi caused food poisoning among children will become a hot topic.
By then, Xue Qi's family will definitely be scolded to pieces by netizens.
When the diners had dispersed and the director's crew was about to call it a day, Xue Qi stopped the photographer and said, "Wait, there's something wrong with my food. Don't leave, I want to hold someone accountable."
