Chapter 3
Nan Tao smiled and said, "Does my light blue gemstone necklace look good?"
Jiang Qian was stunned for a moment, completely bewildered. "What did you say? What jewel necklace?"
Nan Tao sneered: "That necklace is worth 1.3 million. I bought it at the Tianqiao Charity Gala. Are you sure you don't remember it?"
Jiang Qian then remembered that she had taken a jewel necklace from Nan Tao's cloakroom, and a guilty look flashed across her face.
If Nan Tao hadn't suddenly brought this up, I would have completely forgotten about stealing the jewelry. After all, Nan Tao had so many jewels, and the entire cloakroom was filled with glittering and dazzling jewelry. I only secretly took one, not a lot, and no one would notice. Maybe Nan Tao lost it herself.
Moreover, he had repeatedly checked to confirm that there were no cameras in the cloakroom before stealing it. Could it be that Nan Tao convicted him of a crime simply by entering her cloakroom? Nowadays, the law requires evidence.
What's more, Jiang Qian didn't think that Nan Tao would be hurt if she lost a jewelry necklace. It was different for her. This jewelry necklace allowed her to live a life of being the center of attention. The more she thought about it, the more pitiful and wronged she felt. She was obviously pregnant with the heir of the Yu family, but her life was so miserable.
Jiang Qian said confidently, "You're so rich, it's not a big loss for you. Don't you have a lot of jewelry? It's just one missing, so why should you take it so seriously?"
Nan Tao laughed and said, "You really dare to say that."
Without wasting any time talking to Jiang Qian, he asked Butler Lin to call the police and prepare evidence.
Jiang Qian wanted to deny it, but she couldn't refute it under the police's questioning and the overwhelming evidence of the surveillance video. She cried and begged Nan Tao for mercy: "I know I was wrong. Can't you let me go for the sake of my pregnancy with the Yu family's child? Over a million is not a lot of money for you."
When the police heard the gossip about the wealthy family, they looked at each other and sympathized with Nan Tao.
Nan Tao told the police to take Jiang Qian away and said, "I will not accept mediation."
The police officer said, "You have to be mentally prepared. She is pregnant now. Even if she is sentenced, she will not be detained until she has completed the breastfeeding period. Moreover, if she can repay the debt, mediation will be the main approach in the end."
After the police took their people away, Nan Tao lay down on the sofa to rest comfortably, pressing her solar plexus with her slender fingers.
If Jiang Qian is the heroine, then someone will definitely rescue her. If no one rescues her, then it proves that she is not the heroine.
The rest is to see how it goes.
Yu Ze, who had been sitting quietly on the side, put down his phone, walked behind Nan Tao's sofa, stretched out his little hand to press Nan Tao's shoulders and neck, "Mommy, let me massage your shoulders."
Nan Tao smiled with relief. Her son had been independent and sensible since childhood, and had shown high IQ at a young age. Although his temperament was as cold and aloof as his father with low EQ, his merits outweighed his flaws, not to mention that he was a filial son.
She doesn't ask for much, she just hopes that her family will be safe and sound, that's the bottom line.
Yu Ze clenched his small hands into fists and tapped Nan Tao's left shoulder, then his right shoulder, occasionally changing his technique to knead the muscles of his neck.
While enjoying the attentive service of her own son, Nan Tao was wondering whether she should tell her son the truth. But what if it would be disadvantageous to her son? She didn't dare to take the risk.
After an unknown amount of time, Nan Tao fell asleep.
Yu Ze stopped, bent down, picked up the blanket on the sofa on his right, and gently covered Nan Tao with it.
After an unknown amount of time, the ringing of a phone interrupted the silence of the living room. Nan Tao opened her eyes in confusion and was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was her cell phone ringing.
The caller ID showed that it was his agent, Lin Hong.
Nan Tao picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"Taozi, the third season of 'Mom and Baby Travel' is scheduled to start filming. The director is currently looking for guests, and there's only one group left. Are you interested in bringing your son to participate?"
Nan Tao knows a little about this popular variety show.
This children's variety show did not make much splash when it was broadcast in the first season and was not very popular. In the second season, the production team boldly adopted a novel live interactive method. With the hilarious interactions and battles of wits and courage between adults and cubs, it quickly became popular on major platforms.
The program team immediately launched the third season to build on the success. Before it was aired, the guests for the third season had already been hotly discussed on the Internet, bringing a lot of traffic to the program.
Nan Tao thought of her nightmare, where the charming heroine rose to the top of the entertainment industry and used her huge fan base to suppress the online violence against her. She swallowed her words of refusal and said hesitantly, "Let me think about it."
Lin Hong knew Nan Tao's identity and family background. After all, the chairman of the group that owned her agency was Nan Tao's grandfather. Miss Nan was just playing around in the entertainment industry. But she still persuaded him, "This is a rare opportunity. This variety show is currently the top in China, with a lot of traffic and attention. The director is not a troublemaker. Didn't you say before that your son is very aloof and can't play with his peers? You can use this opportunity to let Xiaoze play with them more."
Nan Tao: "I'll reply to you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Tao stood up from the sofa and asked housekeeper Lin. She learned that Yu Ze had gone upstairs to read, so she also went upstairs to the bedroom.
Nan Tao was lying on the soft Simmons bed playing with her mobile phone when she suddenly heard her son's voice.
[Tongtong, are you sure Mommy is looking for a young man to get a divorce? Is Dad locked her up in a dark room? Dad is too much. How could he hurt Mommy?]
[You said someone stole our entire family's luck?]
[Tongtong, what can I do to change the fate of my family? ]
【Can I collect more melons? 】
【What is the use of eating melon value? 】
[I see, but I'm still so young, how can I eat so many melons?]
[You mean…?]
What do you mean she's looking for a younger guy? Is there anything wrong with finding one after a divorce? Yu Zhengyang usually looks aloof and abstinent. She's been sleeping with him for seven years, but I didn't expect him to be so reserved and flirty. Why did he lock her up in a dark room?!
Nan Tao held her cheek with her palm, thinking and lost in speculation.
Is it possible that the charming heroine absorbs her luck, causing her to become hysterical and vicious, ultimately leading to the nightmare scenario? Even her final suicide by jumping from a building could be a future development?
Thinking of this, Nan Tao shuddered all over. How could there be such a vicious person who sucked other people's luck and led them to tragedy!
Based on his son's words, collecting melons and accumulating enough melon points can change the fate of the entire family, meaning it can prevent their luck from being taken away? So, can the fate of her vicious cannon fodder female supporting role also be changed?
Does eating melon mean reading other people's gossip? She is good at this. Isn't it easy to eat melon in the two big melon fields of the rich and the entertainment industry?
After a while, Nan Tao picked up her phone from the bed and sent a VX message to Lin Hong.
Peaches Are Not Pumpkins: Are there many guests participating this time?
Lin Hong’s Gold Medal Agent: ???
Peaches are not pumpkins: Let’s just say, the entertainment industry will never lack melons, no matter what it lacks.
Lin Hong’s gold medal agent: I heard there is a melon, do you want to participate?
Peaches are not pumpkins: OK.
Lin Hong's gold medal agent: Filming will start in a week. I will go to your house tomorrow to discuss the specific contract and filming process.
Peaches are not pumpkins: OK
When it was time for dinner, Nan Tao took Yu Ze downstairs to eat.
Nan Tao said, "I'm going to take you to a variety show this summer. Are you happy?"
Yu Ze drank his soup silently: "I have no objection."
Nan Tao smiled secretly. Since her son wanted to collect melons to change the fate of the whole family, she, as a mother, naturally had to help.
After dinner, Nan Tao took Yu Ze for a walk in the back garden. The mother and son chatted warmly, but most of the time it was Nan Tao who was talking and Yu Ze was listening.
Nan Tao could occasionally hear Xiaoze's thoughts, but she estimated that she could not hear them beyond about ten meters.
After Nan Tao got tired of walking, she sat down on a bench and looked at Yu Ze who was playing with the dog not far away, with a gentle smile on her lips.
But the smile didn't last long, and she looked at the caller ID flashing on the phone screen.
The man's voice was hoarse: "Have you eaten?"
Nan Tao thought of his coldness and ruthlessness towards her in the nightmare and was very unhappy. "You're too much. After all, I've been married to you for seven years and have a lovely son. Even if we don't talk about these things, we have always been childhood sweethearts who grew up together. How could you do this to me?!"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and finally he sobbed softly in grievance.
Yu Zhengyang: “???”
When I heard my wife crying, I panicked a little. No matter whether it was my fault or not, I admitted my mistake first.
"Wife, I was wrong."
Nan Tao's practiced attitude of admitting her fault made the angry words that followed get stuck in her throat. She grumbled, "It's all your fault."
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. Be good and don't cry. Who bullied you?"
Nan Tao didn't want him to know that Jiang Qian came today, "No one."
This kind of conversation had happened countless times in high school, and Yu Zhengyang was used to it, so he didn't think much about it. "I'll go home next week."
Nan Tao said, "Next week I'm taking my son to participate in a popular variety show called 'Mom Takes Baby on a Trip'. Did you know?"
Yu Zhengyang frowned and sighed. His plan to go home to see his wife and children after working overtime was ruined. He would ask his assistant to cancel the flight. "Be safe. Call me immediately if anything happens."
A week later, the pilot episode of "Mom Takes Her Baby to Travel" was officially recorded for two days. The program team boldly adopted the live broadcast method, which was synchronized with the picture in real time. The program team also assured the majority of netizens that no matter what happened during the live broadcast, the live broadcast would not be turned off to ensure the original flavor. Compared with the TV version edited later, it is more real and direct and difficult to establish a character.
Moreover, four groups of guests will broadcast live on the same screen. The audience can choose any group to enlarge the screen and can also interact in real time with barrages. The audience can choose vertical or horizontal screen.
A total of four groups of guests were invited this season, namely the mother and son group of Golden Rooster Award winner Jiang Hui, the mother and daughter group of well-known talented young female director Zhou Mei, the mother and daughter group of popular young actress Wen Manqing, and the mother and son group of actress Nan Tao.
The program crew drove cars with official logos to four different locations, and the Doudou live broadcast room was opened at the same time.
In the live broadcast room, Jiang Hui and her son were the most popular, followed by Wen Manqing and her daughter, then Zhou Mei and her daughter, and Nan Tao and her son were at the end. The live broadcast barrage was sparse, and there were not even any comments from black fans. The attention was pitifully dismal.
Occasionally, a few comments floated through Nan Tao’s live broadcast room.
[Who is Nan Tao? Why haven't I heard of this person? ]
[Can unknown actors now appear on this kids' variety show? ]
Why are the production crews moving more and more downtown? Downtown is full of luxury homes and old, run-down, small buildings.
[Is Nan Tao living in a mansion?]
[How is that possible? Stop joking, the guy above. Do you know what it means to live in a mansion in a mirage?]
The few netizens were arguing about whether Nan Tao lived in a luxury house or an old and dilapidated house, when the program crew's car suddenly stopped opposite the nationally famous luxury house Wanyuanzhuang.
The winner showed off in the live broadcast room that he guessed correctly, and all the people on the screen mocked those who guessed that Nan Tao lived in a mansion.
[Do you see that dilapidated four-story building across from Wanyuanzhuang?]
[Oh my, this is so shabby! Didn't you say she lives in a mansion? Doesn't this hurt?]
[Do you think that anyone can afford to live in a luxury house in Haishi? ]
I just checked Nan Tao's information. A "three-no" actor with no credits at all, she finally managed to film a youth film, but guess what? It still hasn't been approved, hahaha.
