Chapter 107
Ever since the last incident involving the leading lady directed by Lotte, Rongya's fame and reputation have both declined. She has received fewer announcements recently, and even her agent has started to be mean to her. Other people in the company always look at her with strangeness and contempt.
But the damn system had no solution at all and kept blaming me for not progressing the task. It even threatened that if I continued like this, other people's favorability towards me would continue to decline until it disappeared completely.
Rongya was going crazy.
What a crappy system! It even causes value loss. I have worked hard for a long time to accumulate the favorability of these people around me, and now it is gone in an instant. What is the point of all the efforts before? It is all in vain.
On the contrary, Nan Tao's fame has been rising all the way, and she has become a big hit thanks to "Mom Takes Her Baby to Travel". Especially tonight, she has been on four or five hot searches in a row, all of which are related to Nan Tao. The most important thing is that these hot searches were not bought with money, but were pushed up by real fans and passers-by.
Rongya's eyes turned red with jealousy. Why did Nantao have such a good family background and good looks, and find a husband who was rich, handsome, and loved her? On the other hand, she had nothing, and even what she had was threatened by the system.
Rongya was unwilling to accept this and felt a surge of anger in her chest.
At this time, the favorability system, which had been offline for a long time, appeared again.
Favorability system: [Do you want to turn the tables? Do you want to suppress Nan Tao severely and trample her under your feet? ]
Rong Ya sneered: "You finally showed up. If you didn't know, you would think I was bound to a fake system because I disappeared every few days."
The favorability system ignored Rong Ya's sarcastic tone and continued, "As long as you complete the task diligently, all your wishes will come true. Even Yu Zhengyang will crawl at your feet."
Rong Ya followed the system's instructions and fantasized. She couldn't help but tremble with excitement, but she returned to reality in an instant. The huge gap made her face distorted.
Why can Nan Tao live such a happy life when she has nothing and is even controlled by the system?
"You think I don't want to? It's because you're a useless system that can't help me at all."
"I can't get close to Yu Zhengyang at all. Last time, I finally met him in Country M, but I was warned and ended up being ridiculed by the entire internet."
The favorability system wasn't angry either. "Since I can't start with Yu Zhengyang, I'll start with Nan Tao. You idiot, do you still need me to teach you?"
Rongya's eyes lit up as she thought about this possibility, but she couldn't help but suspect that the system had bad intentions.
"Since you know this good idea, why didn't you tell me before?"
Favorability System: [This is a very bad idea, if it's not a last resort now.]
Rong Ya sneered.
What a bad idea, what a last resort, these are probably all excuses made by the system. It is obviously a waste and it has never thought of it before.
Favorability system: [Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I'm warning you, Nan Tao is smarter than you think.]
Rong Ya was displeased, "She is smarter than me. Haha, when I get her man, I'll see who is smarter."
Favorability System: [Yu Zhengyang is not in Hai City these days, so you should contact Nan Tao as soon as possible. It will be difficult to deal with him when he returns.]
When Rong Ya thought of Yu Zhengyang's protection and pampering of Nan Tao, she couldn't help feeling sour and sad, but she felt more disgust and jealousy towards Nan Tao.

The next day, at noon, the sun in the sky shone redly on the earth.
Although it is the end of August and we are about to enter September, the sun is still very hardworking. It comes out early in the morning at around four o'clock. Now it is almost noon. The sun has been hanging diligently in the sky for six or seven hours, slowly moving from the distant east to directly above people's heads.
Nan Tao stretched lazily.
The bright light shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto Nan Tao, like flying fireflies dancing happily on her snow-white skin. The mottled light and shadow fall on her face, giving her a hazy feeling of saintliness, like a goddess descending from the nine heavens. One can't help but sigh at her nobility, elegance and beauty.
This kind of beauty is a kind of ostentatious beauty, very aggressive, making people hold their breath for fear of disturbing the beauty.
Nan Tao walked to the balcony, raised her hands to block her eyes and looked into the distance.
The lush green trees, the blooming flowers, the fluttering butterflies, the fish swimming in the pond, everything is so beautiful.
Nan Tao took a deep breath, feeling the scent of nature, "I'm in a good mood today."
After a while, the cell phone rang. It was Lin Hong calling.
Lin Hong told Nan Tao that director Lotte's crew would start filming in about a week, and the specific time would have to be notified. She also told Nan Tao something.
Nan Tao was surprised: "How did she contact you?"
Lin Hong: "I guess she asked her agent for it. Do you want to accept the invitation?"
Nan Tao: "It doesn't matter. I've been free lately anyway, so I want to see what she wants to do."
Lin Hong: "Okay, you take care of yourself. The time is this afternoon, and I'll push the location to you later."
Nan Tao: "So urgent? I'm not free this afternoon. Can you reply for me tomorrow afternoon?"
When Rong Ya received Lin Hong's notification, she was furious and smashed everything in the living room.
"Damn it, she's taking the bridge."
But what can I do? I was the one who wanted to see her. If she doesn't agree, it will be difficult to have another chance in the future.
Thinking of the good days in the future, I can only swallow my anger now.
In order to win a great victory in this encounter with Nan Tao, Rong Ya was extremely anxious and could not sleep the whole night. She was excited and nervous, and waited anxiously until the next afternoon.
This time, Rongya's outfit is deliberately made to look younger, and the clothes she wears are a one-to-one replica of those from her youth. Although time has left traces on her face, due to regular cosmetic surgery and good maintenance, her overall appearance is 80% to 90% restored.
Rongya was waiting anxiously in the coffee shop. There were still five minutes left before the agreed time, and the Nantao people still hadn't shown up. She felt frustrated, angry and worried.
Just when the emotions were piling up to the breaking point, Nan Tao finally arrived at the last minute.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long." Nan Tao raised her red lips, took off her sunglasses, revealing her clear and watery almond eyes.
Rongya's smile was twisted, and she forced herself to squeeze out the three words "It's okay" from between her teeth.
Nan Tao casually placed the sunglasses on the table and said, "You chose a good corner, next to the window, quiet and peaceful."
Rong Ya calmed down and put on a friendly smile. "It's rare to see you. What would you like to drink?"
Nan Tao ordered a cappuccino, looked at Rong Ya's outfit, and smiled meaningfully, "What do you want from me?"
The smile on Rong Ya's face froze again. She took a deep breath and changed the subject, "Nothing else. We are old classmates after all. I didn't expect so many years to pass by so quickly."
Nan Tao smiled faintly and said nothing.
Rongya was a little anxious. In her impression, Nantao was a spoiled and willful young lady, without any scheming. But why did she seem a little difficult to deal with now? She just couldn't get it from her after talking for a long time.
Seeing that Nan Tao didn't respond, he continued, "Do you still remember our alma mater, Haishi Shanya High School?"
Nan Tao smiled and said nonchalantly, "Remember, this is a private school for the nobility in Hai City. I remember you were able to get in because of your good grades and the school waived your tuition?"
Rongya almost lost control and spilled her coffee. She could no longer maintain the smile on her face. She felt gloomy and embarrassed for a moment, and the frustration and anger in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
Shanya High School is a famous aristocratic private high school in Hai City. The annual tuition alone is over 100,000 yuan, not to mention the expenses for food, clothing, and social activities. For her well-off family, they simply cannot afford to support herself to attend such an aristocratic private school.
If it weren't for the cheating system, I would have always gotten top grades, otherwise I would have no chance at all.
Rongya's ordinary family background is a pain point that she has always tried to avoid. But now Nantao talks about it lightly, as if she is a jumping clown who can't cross Nantao's class no matter how hard she tries.
Rong Ya gritted her teeth, trying hard to control herself from losing control, but she couldn't help but challenge him, "Of course I remember. Back then, the rumor at school was that Yu Zhengyang and I were a couple. I never thought fate would play such a trick on us..."
Nan Tao's smile faded and she remained silent.
Rong Ya didn't miss any of Nan Tao's expressions. Seeing her faint smile, she concluded that she had angered him. She finally felt proud of herself for having won back a victory. She smiled happily and said, "Sorry, I suddenly remembered the good times in high school and forgot that you two are married now."
Nan Tao took the coffee handed to her by the waiter, took a sip, and said indifferently, "Is that it?"
Rong Ya's smile froze, "Do you think that's all?"
Nan Tao was surprised and said lightly, "What else? It's just a rumor, not true. I asked my husband about it, and he said he didn't know anything about it. Oh, and he doesn't even know who you are."
Rongya's heart suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe, as if she was a clown.
She had known in Country M that Yu Zhengyang didn't recognize her, but when these words came out of Nan Tao's mouth, it sounded like disdain and arrogance.
Rong Ya's face was pale, her hands hanging by her side were clenched into her palms, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak.
Don’t be anxious, just be patient. Even if Nan Tao is proud, she won’t be able to laugh later.
She just didn't believe that Nan Tao didn't care about that at all.
Nan Tao had a smile in her eyes and a worried look on her face. She said in an exaggerated and artificial way, "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Rong Ya managed to calm herself down and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Nan Tao nodded, picked up the coffee cup on the table, and used the action of drinking coffee to hide the uncontrollable upward curve of her lips.
Rong Ya regrouped after her failure and spoke again: "Actually, I came to you to say sorry to you."
Nan Tao raised an eyebrow, "Oh?" She tilted her head and asked innocently, "How have you wronged me?"
Rong Ya's throat choked and she took a deep breath. "I know you two are married. Yu Zhengyang said he didn't know me because he was afraid you'd be angry. He kissed me in our second year of high school..."
Nan Tao interrupted Rong Ya and asked with a half-smile, "Are you sure he kissed you?"
A guilty look flashed across Rong Ya's eyes, and then she calmed down.
Back then, it was a fake illusion created with the help of the system, which cost me the goodwill I had accumulated over the years. Although it was painful, the fake effect was so realistic that even Yu Zhengyang himself would not feel it was fake if he was there.
Thinking of this, Rong Ya's eyes drooped slightly, and the corners of her lips also drooped downwards. She made a guilty expression, but her words were full of boasting, "I took the initiative to kiss him, and he didn't refuse. Because of this incident, you two have been at odds. I have always felt guilty and wanted to find a chance to explain it to you, but there has never been a suitable opportunity. Now that I can finally say it, I feel relieved."
Countless thoughts flashed through Nan Tao's mind, and her suspicion of Rong Ya deepened.
Zheng Yang told me that he had gone to Yu's house on that day because of something urgent, and was not at school at all. Although it was very strange, I believed Zheng Yang's words more.
At first, she suspected that Rong Ya had found someone to impersonate Zheng Yang's figure and voice. After all, she was far away and could not see clearly, she only saw him from the side from a distance, and the voice was too similar, so she misunderstood in anger.
But now looking at Rongya's determined expression, it seems that she is not afraid of being suspected at all.
Nan Tao suddenly wanted to laugh. Rong Ya thought that this matter was a thorn in her heart and would not take the initiative to mention it to Yu Zhengyang. As long as the two of them did not talk about it, the misunderstanding would always exist and the truth would be buried in the past with the passage of time.
What a pity... Rongya’s calculation was wrong.
He wants to sow discord from my side. It seems that he has repeatedly hit a wall with Zheng Yang and has no other choice but to come to me?
After sorting out Rongya's situation and thoughts, Nan Tao curled her red lips and smiled happily. Her slender fingers touched her wedding ring, "Rongya, do you know what this is?"
Rong Ya was mad with jealousy and forced a smile, "Your wedding rings?"
