Nian Nian is indeed a somewhat special child. She is very quiet, even a little too quiet.
Shen Mingyou remembered that her daughter had never spoken a word before she was two years old. She couldn't even call out the simplest words "Dad" and "Mom". She rarely cried. When someone called her, she reacted very slowly and it always took her a while to slowly look at the person who was talking to her.
The child seems to have her own little world. She doesn't need playmates or communication. With a small Rubik's Cube in her hand, she can play with it all day long.
Shen Mingyou was very panicked when she realized something was wrong. She was afraid that her child might be born with autism, so she took her daughter to see many doctors.
After various examinations, it was found that Nian Nian was in good health, but because the child was too young, the doctor could not directly diagnose whether he had autism or autistic tendencies. He only told the parents to pay special attention.
Fortunately, after she turned two, Nian Nian finally learned to speak, but she was still a quiet child. She would never use three words to complete a sentence that could be completed with two, and she was still not interested in communicating with others.
This was Shen Mingyou's first time being a mother, so she needed to slowly figure out how to raise a child step by step. However, after being a mother for almost four years, Shen Mingyou had roughly figured out a way to communicate effectively with Nian Nian.
But in the dream, Shen Mingyou and Nian Nian were completely unable to communicate with each other. She hurt Nian Nian again and again, causing Nian Nian to really suffer from autism. In the end, she regretted it too late. In the dream, she suffered from depression because of guilt and self-blame, and both mother and daughter ended up miserably.
Shen Mingyou felt that the Shen Mingyou in the book was not her. In this world, the person she would least hurt was Nian Nian. She only wanted her Nian Nian to grow up healthily and happily. Even if Nian Nian just frowned, her heart would be in tatters. How could she possibly hurt Nian Nian like in the book?
Just because she is a character created by the author, does she have to follow the path in the book?
Shen Mingyou still remembers that when she was sixteen, she was admitted to the Film Academy with the first place. She always ranked among the top students in school and was an excellent student in the eyes of her teachers. She was beautiful and had good acting skills. Everyone thought that Shen Mingyou would become a big hit in the entertainment industry after her debut.
But the final result was shocking, Shen Mingyou did become popular after her debut, but it was a dark kind of popularity.
She is beautiful, a vase that is pleasing to the eye. She attracted a large number of fans as soon as she debuted. But on the other hand, her acting skills are really bad. She always has only one expression in every drama, so there are just as many haters who scold her as her fans.
The teachers at the Film Academy thought that Shen Mingyou became a bad actor because he was praised and admired by many people after his debut and he forgot his original intention of learning acting. However, Shen Mingyou knew that he was wronged.
She loves acting, and before filming each play, she would read the script to pieces, with dense notes written all over it.
When she was in school, her teachers said that she had great acting talent, but when it came to the actual filming, her mind went blank, like an emotionless robot, just standing in front of the camera and reciting her lines in boredom.
Shen Mingyou didn't understand at first, but now she knows, because she is a brick in the author's pen and can be moved wherever needed.
If the author wants her to hurt Nian Nian, she must hurt Nian Nian, even if that is her most beloved daughter; if the author wants her to perform poorly, she must perform poorly, even if that is her most beloved job...
The author gave her everything: birth, appearance, talent, even husband and daughter... everything is outstanding, but such people only exist as a comparison group in front of the heroine.
Shen Mingyou was very dissatisfied.
Her consciousness after waking up told her that because the place that described her the most in the entire book was the baby-raising variety show "Super Mom", only by reversing the ending of her and Nian Nian in the baby-raising variety show could she completely break free from the oppression of the rules in the book and change her and Nian Nian's fate.
"Hey, Sister Yu, I've accepted the show "Super Mom"."
After the call, Shen Mingyou carefully recalled the contents of the book again. The extra chapter of the book mentioned that she and her husband would eventually divorce. She wondered if it was she who proposed the divorce, or her husband Jiang Chen...

Orange TV is one of the top three TV stations in the country. In recent years, both the TV series it broadcasts and the variety shows it produces have been hits almost every year. Whether it is the middle-aged and elderly people who love watching TV or the teenagers who hang out on the Internet, they are all Orange TV's audience.
With a wide audience and high stickiness, Orange TV naturally made a lot of money, and even its office building was built to be fashionable and grand.
After Shen Mingyou confirmed yesterday that she would participate in the variety show "Moms Take Care of Their Babies", she followed her agent to the TV station today to sign the contract.
The person who greeted them was a young employee of the TV station named Li. The work tag hanging around his neck read "Intern".
After the contract was signed and some specific details of the program were discussed, Xiao Li politely escorted Shen Mingyou out of the conference room and then turned back to the office area.
Shen Mingyou raised his eyebrows and exchanged a glance with the agent Yu Zhen. As expected, he saw dissatisfaction and helplessness in Yu Zhen's eyes.
Signing a contract is at least a formal matter, but Orange TV only let an intern who had just graduated to handle it. It's easy to imagine how little the program crew thinks of Shen Mingyou, as if she was just there to make up the numbers.
There was a rare hint of regret in Yu Zhen's eyes. She didn't know whether it was good or bad for Shen Mingyou to be on this variety show about taking care of children.
After Shen Mingyou left, intern Xiao Li took the contract and went to director Feng Jingze's office.
"Is she gone?"
"They've already left." Xiao Li put the contract on Feng Jingze's desk. "Director, there were three groups of guests in the first two seasons of Super Mom. Why did you add one more this time? And you chose Shen Mingyou."
"You know what? A show is in its third season, so there has to be something new."
The new idea mentioned by Feng Jingze, in addition to using the most popular live broadcast format when recording the program, is to add a group of guests to the program to contrast with the other three groups of guests, commonly known as the control group.
After two seasons of the show, almost all the mothers in "Mom" have the image of good mothers. Not surprisingly, the three groups of guests this time will also have this image. The audience will get bored of the same old good mothers sooner or later. There has to be some innovation.
Shen Mingyou is the innovative point found by Feng Jingze.
A few days ago, when Feng Jingze was having dinner with a director friend, they talked about Shen Mingyou, a former female star. He learned that Shen Mingyou was planning to make a comeback in acting and that she had a very quiet daughter who hardly talked. As soon as Feng Jingze heard about it, he had the idea of inviting her to participate in a variety show about taking care of children.
A down-and-out female star who has retired from the entertainment industry for five years takes her autistic daughter to participate in a baby-raising variety show, which forms a clear contrast with other groups, making the show naturally interesting and popular.
On the other hand, no matter how good a show is, there will always be jokes and things that make people dissatisfied, and the audience needs an outlet to vent. When there are negative searches on the Internet, they can direct the attention to Shen Mingyou and focus the fire on Shen Mingyou. The other guests just need to be responsible for providing positive energy.
"Director, you said our show is so popular. Is it possible that Shen Mingyou will become famous because of our show?"
Feng Jingze chuckled and secretly sighed that Xiao Li was indeed a college graduate and his ideas were too naive.
Xiao Li was somewhat related to him, so Feng Jingze reminded him a few more times.
"It's not that easy to become famous. If it weren't for our show, Shen Mingyou wouldn't even have the chance to make a comeback. You know, these days, her agent is like a headless fly, looking for directors everywhere with Shen Mingyou's resume, trying to get Shen Mingyou into the crew and let her make a comeback, but no director is willing to use her."
"It's very difficult for a normal actress to make a comeback after not filming for a year or two, let alone a female star like Shen Mingyou who has retired for five years and has a child. Unless she can lower her status and play some low-ranking roles, it will be difficult for her to find a role to play." Feng Jingze took a sip of tea and continued, "As for our show, do you think that with Ai Fei and her husband Zhou Jingxing here, the audience will still pay attention to Shen Mingyou?"
"We are using a live broadcast this time. The number of viewers in the live broadcast room represents the popularity and popularity of the guests. The three groups of guests are all well-known, so it would be difficult to let anyone fill the gap. Now that we have Shen Mingyou, we don't have to worry about this problem anymore."
After hearing this, Xiao Li suddenly realized: "Director is really smart. I still have a lot to learn from you."
"Okay, stop flattering me." Feng Jingze scolded with a smile and reminded, "Tell the crew that will be filming at Shen Mingyou's house tomorrow not to bring too many devices. Shen Mingyou is still renting a house now, and it's probably very small. Don't let them not be able to fit our devices. She can't afford to pay for any bumps or scratches."
"knew."
Shen Mingyou didn't know that someone was talking about her behind her. After leaving the TV station, Yu Zhen was driving the car and Shen Mingyou was sitting in the passenger seat with her cell phone, calling Jiang Chen.
In a large conference room far away in Country M, a grand signing ceremony had just taken place.
The door of the conference room opened, and a well-built and handsome man walked out first.
"Mr. Jiang, it's a phone call." The assistant beside him handed the ringing phone to him. Jiang Chen took it, and after seeing the caller ID, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Hello."
Shen Mingyou heard the slightly rising voice on the phone and guessed that the person on the other end seemed to be in a good mood. "It's me."
"I know." Jiang Chen kept walking, and he seemed to be walking with the wind. The acquisition that just completed had taken Lingyu Capital nearly a year to prepare, and Jiang Chen was very busy because of it. Now that everything has been settled, Jiang Chen is in a good mood.
He seemed to feel better after receiving a call from his wife.
Shen Mingyou told Jiang Chen on the phone that she had decided to take her daughter to the variety show. In fact, she had already contacted Jiang Chen once when she received the invitation from the program team a few days ago. Although Jiang Chen was surprised that she would suddenly return to China and take her child to the variety show, he did not interfere much and just said that as long as she was willing, it would be fine.
"Okay, I understand." After the two finished talking, Jiang Chen hung up the phone.
There was a rare hint of smile on his face.
Jiang Chen is very satisfied with his current situation. He is a perfectionist and pursues perfection in everything, including marriage.
To Jiang Chen, Shen Mingyou is a perfect wife. She is independent enough and never interferes with his career. She knows how to give each other space. In recent years, the company is in a period of business expansion, and his wife always supports him in his busy work. At the same time, she is also a good mother who takes care of her daughter Nian Nian meticulously.
A gentle and beautiful wife, and a smart daughter...it can be said that Shen Mingyou fulfilled all his fantasies about family.
He thought that when he got old, he would leave the company to his daughter Nian Nian, and he and his wife might be able to travel around the world and spend a stable old age.
Jiang Chen has always had plans for his life, and he has already thought about what will happen in the next few decades.
The sound of a cell phone message interrupted Jiang Chen's thoughts. He turned on his cell phone and saw that his wife, who had just called him, had sent him another text message, which read:
[Jiang Chen, let’s get a divorce.]
