Chapter 3: The Rich Family's Substitute Son 3 She's here!? ...
The program was recorded in Taoshan Village, hundreds of kilometers away from Nancheng.
Before Shen Qian set off, a staff member went over the details with her. She originally thought that everything would be foolproof, but on that day there was a rare train delay. By the time the train took her to the recording site, the rest of the guests had already arrived.
There are a total of four pairs of guests in "Farming with Mom", all of whom are mothers with their sons or daughters.
Except for Shen Qian, the other three mothers are or have been entertainers in the entertainment industry.
Even Fang Yuyun was a movie star in the entertainment industry before marrying into the Fu family. She played vase roles in several films. Although her acting skills were not good, her appearance was still good and she had a certain popularity back then. This time, her participation in the show as a wealthy wife was quite a gimmick.
Among the four children, only Fu Yuanbo is an artist who has already debuted, while the other three children have not yet debuted and are all second-generation stars.
The program is broadcast live and edited for television broadcast.
The live broadcast had just begun at this time. In the camera was a young man wearing a black sweatshirt. He was sitting in a car, with an angular jaw, black pupils, deep eyebrows, and occasionally glances at the screen with a somewhat sharp look, and a unique kind of arrogance and stubbornness.
Half a year after his debut, he played minor supporting roles in two dramas but did not make much splash, and then he took on an advertisement.
In the advertisement, he only appeared for two seconds, but he unexpectedly became popular because of his handsome face. The whole Internet was discussing this handsome boy.
Many programs invited Fu Yuanbo to be a guest. After this wave of concentrated exposure, Fu Yuanbo's popularity skyrocketed.
Xinghui Entertainment took this opportunity to make a big fuss about his status as a rich family's son. Fu Yuanbo was originally a little disgusted with the company's behavior, but he also had his own thoughts. He also wanted to know the Fu family's attitude towards his entry into the entertainment industry. If the Fu family did not object to the company's hype, did it mean that they finally... accepted him as a member of the Fu family?
The Fu family did not object, nor did they have any other reaction, as if the matter did not exist.
Of course, in the original book, Star Entertainment's operation also buried many hidden dangers. During the recording of "Farming with Mom", the audience soon learned about Fu Yuanbo's awkward position in the Fu family. His mother was even unwilling to appear on the show with him, and the person teamed up with him was a village woman who was completely unpresentable.
His so-called identity as a wealthy and powerful company does not stand up to scrutiny at all. He is nothing more than a discarded child of a wealthy family.
Compared with Fu Zhongyan, he was like a joke. In addition, Fu Yuanbo lost control of his emotions many times on the show. Soon, Fu Yuanbo went from being an internet celebrity to being ridiculed by the entire internet, while Fu Zhongyan's popularity continued to soar with the show "Farming with Mom".
Of course, Fu Yuanbo, who was sitting in the car at the moment, had no idea what was about to happen.
【Fu Yuanbo! Brother, look at me! 】
[So handsome, his looks are still so good even in close-up photos! ]
[Today is so low-key, why did you come here wearing only a sweatshirt? ]
[With this face, even a sack would look good.]
[I'm really looking forward to seeing my idol and his wealthy mom on a farming variety show together!]
The car drove into Taoshan Village. It was April and the air was filled with a fresh scent of earth.
Fu Yuanbo frowned slightly. He was very familiar with the smell, and some childhood memories flashed through his mind.
He shook his head slightly and turned his attention back to the car window.
The car stopped outside a farmyard. After Fu Yuanbo got out of the car, he walked closer and was about to push open the wooden door of the yard, but he saw a familiar figure in the distance.
His mother Fang Yuyun was standing in a corner of the yard where there was a round stone table. She was standing in front of the table, talking to a boy with a smile.
Today, Fang Yuyun was wearing a light beige silk shirt with her cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing her slender wrists. A jade bracelet perfectly set off her graceful temperament. She was noble and calm, and there was unspeakable affection in her eyes as she looked at the boy beside her.
With just one glance, Fu Yuanbo lost the strength to push the door open.
Sitting at the round table was Fu Zhongyan, his nominal younger brother.
The two were chatting at the moment, the atmosphere looked relaxed and happy, and there was a kind of intimacy that made it impossible for anyone to interfere.
Fu Yuanbo's fingertips pinched into his palm, the corners of his lips unconsciously pressed down, and his eyes showed uncontrollable surprise and grievance.
It turned out to be like this...
So that’s how it is…
No wonder my mother agreed to participate in the recording of this program so easily. It turns out that she wanted to participate in the program with Fu Zhongyan!
He thought that his mother had changed her mind about him to some extent, but it turned out that in her heart and eyes, she only had Fu Zhongyan, her adopted son.
Sure enough, after so many years, whether then or now, he is just an insignificant person. In the eyes of his relatives, he will never be as good as Fu Zhongyan.
At this time, several cameramen were holding their cameras and shooting Fu Yuanbo's face from every angle, for fear of missing any changes in his facial expressions.
Stop taking pictures.
The boy's eyelids drooped, and he screamed silently in his heart.
But this scene was carefully planned by the program crew. The cameramen surrounded Fu Yuanbo and were not willing to let him go.
The recording site gradually became lively, and another group of guests arrived at the courtyard. They were a fashionable mother and daughter. Before entering the courtyard, the girl looked curiously at Fu Yuanbo standing at the door and asked, "Aren't you going in?"
Fu Yuanbo shook his head.
He took out his cell phone and called his agent Fang Zhan. If his mother came with Fu Zhongyan, then who would he go on the show with?
I made several calls but no one answered.
Obviously, the barrage also saw this scene.
[Hey, what's going on? Why isn't Fu Yuanbo going in?]
[Who knows? It's so strange.]
[Haha, why are you making such a stinky face? Are you acting like a big shot here? ]
[Anti-fans, please don’t go too far. You accuse someone of being a big shot just because of one shot? ]
[Isn't that Fang Yuyun, who married into the wealthy Fu family, the one the camera just glanced at? She's still so beautiful! Isn't she Fu Yuanbo's mother? What is he doing squatting at the door?]
[Wait... there is a boy in front of Fang Yuyun, and she seems to have come with that boy...]
[Yes, Fang Yuyun was also very affectionate with the boy in the car just now, as if they were a mother and son.]
The third pair of guests participating in the show also arrived. There were more and more staff on the scene, but Fu Yuanbo never went in and kept waiting at the door. Fang Zhan also didn't answer his call.
Fu Yuanbo put down his phone and pursed his lips. Fang Zhan's attitude was very clear. His mother would definitely be in the same group with Fu Zhongyan. The program crew would definitely not let a mother bring two children, so the agency could only find someone else for him.
Maybe he would find a passerby on the street to act as his mother.
Fu Yuanbo's face darkened and his eyes became more fierce. If that was the case, he would rather break the contract than continue recording this show.
Of course, there is one last possibility...
The boy tightened his clenched fists further, as if he didn't want to think about the last possibility, nor did he think about whether he should stop recording if the person who came was really her.
At this time, a car from the program crew appeared at the entrance of the village. Fu Yuanbo kept staring at the approaching car.
The car stopped not far from him and the door opened.
A woman walked straight out of the car. She was dressed very simply, in a white cotton and linen shirt, beige straight-leg casual pants, and a canvas bag on her back. She had a neat short hair that was full of energy, a smooth and full forehead, and a slightly thin cheek. She had no makeup on. Her skin was not delicate and fair, but it had a good foundation and clear contours. Her whole face had a very attractive feel. Moreover, she had a kind of calmness and composure that came from ordinary life. Although she did not dress up deliberately, she was inexplicably eye-catching in the crowd.
The cameraman came over carrying a camera.
Chen Qian's eyes were gentle yet firm. After confirming the recording location with the staff, he strode to the gate of the courtyard. Just as he was about to push the door open and enter, he caught a glimpse of a boy standing upright by the earthen wall of the courtyard.
She paused as she pushed the door open and looked back at him.
Fu Yuanbo's heart skipped a beat and he pouted and turned away.
This figure was a little bit consistent with the one in her memory. The last time she saw him, he was six years old. With a quick glance just now, Shen Qian saw that the boy's face had grown up and was much more handsome than the chubby one when he was a child. However, the moment those cold eyes swept across her face, they gave her a look that was not exactly friendly.
At this moment, he was obviously alone. The other guests had all entered the courtyard, and he was standing here alone. Behind his defiant expression, Shen Qian inexplicably saw a bit of panic and gloom.
She was slightly shocked, then smiled and said to him: "What are you doing standing here? Aren't you going in?"
Fu Yuanbo snorted coldly: "What do you care!"
After he finished speaking, he realized the harsh meaning of his words. He pursed his lips and clenched his fists even tighter.
He originally thought that after hearing this, the other party would definitely get angry and turn away and ignore him, but when he raised his eyes, he met Shen Qian's calm gaze.
The two of them confronted each other at the gate of the courtyard for a while. Fu Yuanbo put his hands in his pockets, acted indifferent, avoided Chen Qian's gaze, but took a step forward, followed her into the courtyard.
Fu Yuanbo's heart was not as calm as he appeared on the surface. His chest was heaving violently and his mind was clamoring.
She actually came!!!
It’s been ten years, ten whole years since that woman abandoned him.
In ten years, she never came to see him, not even once!
There were many things hidden in his heart for many years. He originally thought that he might never have the chance to see her again in this life, but he didn't expect that she would appear here, at the recording site of a variety show.
"What are you doing here today?" Fu Yuanbo heard himself utter sarcastic words: "Did the Fu family give you money again?"
He deliberately controlled the volume, and even the cameraman following behind him did not record this sentence.
Shen Qian glanced at him, without commenting, neither admitting nor denying.
Fu Yuanbo couldn't help but sneered: "I knew it."
After taking two steps, he raised his eyes and saw Fang Yuyun and Fu Zhongyan not far away, and suddenly paused.
He found himself like a joke at the moment. Of course she had to come! The Fu family might have given her money, but she might not have come just for the money. She might also have come for her own son: Fu Zhongyan.
Fu Yuanbo almost scratched his palms until they bled.
Why! ?
Why are they all coming for Fu Zhongyan?
Why didn't even she want to look at him?!
Fu Yuanbo felt a huge surge of anger in his heart. He was abandoned by her ten years ago and had been neglected by the Fu family for ten years. All the memories weighed on his heart like a thousand pounds.
But Fu Yuanbo still held on to a last glimmer of hope, and did not turn around and leave. Instead, he followed Shen Qian as if he wanted to verify something.
What he didn't expect was that after Shen Qian walked into the courtyard, he didn't walk towards Fu Zhongyan, but found a corner to sit down and rest.
Seeing Fu Yuanbo following, Shen Qian took out a bottle of water from his canvas bag and handed it to Fu Yuanbo: "Want some?"
Fu Yuanbo stared at her face, as if trying to find out something from her expression, but there was nothing on her face.
He looked away, but didn't look anywhere else, just stood in front of her.
Seeing that Fu Yuanbo didn't take the water and ignored her, Shen Qian simply unscrewed the bottle cap and drank a few sips by herself.
Fu Yuanbo: “…”
When Chen Qian was drinking water, he recalled the plot of the original book. The reason why Fu Yuanbo was blacklisted by the entire network was that before the program started recording, he left in anger because his adoptive mother only paid attention to Fu Zhongyan. The staff of the program team tried to persuade him several times but failed to bring him back. In the end, it was the director who came forward in person to coax him back.
This incident later became a black material for trolls to attack Fu Yuanbo, saying that he acted like a big shot and had a stern face at the variety show recording site.
After spending some time together today, Shen Qian discovered that Fu Yuanbo did have a bad temper, but he did not leave. Fortunately, the original plot did not follow.
At this time, netizens saw the live broadcast and found that Fu Yuanbo was standing with an ordinary-looking woman. The two seemed to have chatted for a few words.
[Wait, who is this woman? Why is Fu Yuanbo standing with her?]
[Huh? Isn't Fu Yuanbo's character a wealthy nobleman? This woman doesn't look like a wealthy lady at all.]
[It’s a bit strange…]
[You know what, Fu Yuanbo looks a bit like this woman.]
Fu Yuanbo warned himself not to look at her. Whether she cared about Fu Zhongyan or not was none of his business. But he just couldn't help it. His eyes would always sweep across Chen Qian's face intentionally or unintentionally.
Shen Qian was too lazy to care about him. He drank water calmly and took a rest.
Fang Yuyun, who was far away, also saw Chen Qian. She had been secretly paying attention to Fu Yuanbo's reaction since a while ago.
Very good, he had already seen her and Fu Zhongyan on the show together, and his reaction was similar to what she had imagined, so sad that he didn't even want to come in.
The decent smile on Fang Yuyun's face became more obvious.
She had finally waited for Shen Qian to arrive. She had originally thought that Shen Qian would behave inappropriately when seeing Fu Zhongyan. After all, Shen Qian had secretly tried various ways to get close to her son over the years, but none of them succeeded.
Can she resist such a rare opportunity?
What Fang Yuyun didn't expect was that Chen Qian's attitude was surprisingly calm. Apart from glancing over here from a distance when he first entered the yard, he didn't come near here at all.
Fang Yuyun found this very puzzling. How could this woman keep her composure?
But she didn't think much about it. It had just begun and the variety show recording would take a long time. There would be plenty of opportunities to stimulate Fu Yuanbo to the point of emotional collapse.
Director Wang came over and, after a brief opening speech, introduced the four groups of guests.
The most curious thing in the barrage is the relationship between Fu Yuanbo and Fang Yuyun.
Fu Yuanbo claims to be the young master of the Fu family, and Fang Yuyun also married into the Fu family after retiring from the entertainment industry. Why would these two people team up with others?
After Wang Dao’s introduction, everyone finally understood.
These two are really biological mother and son, but they were taken away by the wrong parents, so Fang Yuyun brought her adopted son Fu Zhongyan, and Fu Yuanbo also went on the show with his adoptive mother who had raised him for six years.
This introduction made the other two groups of guests look at Fu Yuanbo with sympathy and curiosity. This made the young man's already sensitive self-esteem unable to bear it, and his face turned black on the spot.
[Wow! Is the production team really that good at this?]
[Thrilling... So exciting! ]
[No wonder Fu Yuanbo looked so bad just now. It seems that being in a wealthy family is not that easy. His mother obviously prefers the adopted son she raised and has no feelings for him.]
[What a pity, Fu Yuanbo only has this good-looking face. He has a really bad temper and all his emotions show on his face.]
[Now that he's here, hasn't his foster mother raised him for a few years? Even if she has raised him, you can't be so cold to her, right? ]
[I think compared to Fu Yuanbo, Fu Zhongyan has more of the temperament of a rich and noble son, and he is worthy of being the child raised by Fang Yuyun herself. ]
Just as the program team had originally expected, after Director Fang’s formal introduction, the live broadcast room suddenly became hot, with the barrage of comments all discussing these two pairs of mothers and children, and the topic immediately became popular.
Director Fang showed a satisfied smile on his face and immediately announced the first part of the program: the tacit understanding challenge.
"Farming with Mom" is invested by the Fu family, and this so-called tacit understanding challenge is naturally a trap carefully prepared for Fu Yuanbo.
He and Shen Qian haven't seen each other for ten years. In Shen Qian's heart, there is only her biological son who was raised in a wealthy family. How could she have any tacit understanding with this adopted son who she has only been with for six years?
If Fu Yuanbo showed any dissatisfaction in this segment, Fang Yuyun would buy him some black hot searches to influence the rhythm, making the popularity he had worked hard to accumulate go to waste.
According to the Taoist priest, the year when Fu Yuanbo and Fu Zhongyan turn 16 is a critical period. Whether they can successfully exchange their lives depends on this year.
Fang Yuyun has been planning for his son for many years, and now has come the most critical moment.
