Chapter 72
Yu Ze understood here: "I will try my best to eat melons with Mommy."
System: [You and your family are the natives of this small world. Your mom and dad are the chosen ones of the heavens in this small world. Therefore, outsiders will try every possible means to steal your family's luck through the protagonists of this novel world. However, once you accumulate 100 points, the loophole in the small world will be patched, and outsiders will no longer be able to publish novels. The aura of the protagonists who originally published novels will gradually disappear.]
Yu Ze asked nervously, "What about you? Will you disappear?"
System: [I can do that, too, but I will always be watching over you from the sky and protecting you.]
Yu Ze felt a little sad and reluctant.
The system comforted him: [Don't worry, I will come to see you if I have the chance.]
Yu Ze: "Then you can't forget."
The system said: [Yes, don't worry, I keep my word. By the way, summer vacation will be over in about a month and you'll have to go back to school.]
Yu Ze was anxious: "What should I do? I can't take Mommy to eat melons like this."
System: [So this month, we need to work hard to accumulate 60 points of melon-eating points. This way, we can all upgrade the barrage function. When you choose Mommy to enable barrage, Mommy will be able to see the melons and points above other people's heads. You don't have to worry about Mommy not being able to eat melons when we're not around.]
Yu Ze clenched his fists: "Don't worry, I will try my best."
As they were talking, Steward Lin called out from a distance, "Young Master, the chef has prepared the fish. Come over and see how we prepare it. Should we make it into soup, braise it, or steam it?"
Yu Ze turned around and responded, "Grandpa Lin, I'll be there right away."
As soon as Yu Ze entered the living room, he saw his father and mother kissing each other, and immediately covered his eyes and pretended not to see it.
Nan Tao heard the noise and quickly pushed Yu Zhengyang away. She felt embarrassed and annoyed, her fair face flushed red. She said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me your son was here?"
Yu Zhengyang said innocently, "I didn't notice."
Nan Tao said angrily, "What if I teach my son bad things?"
Yu Zhengyang coaxed, "It's okay. Xiaoze is very smart and won't learn bad things."
Nan Tao's almond-shaped eyes widened, "Are you sure?"
Yu Zhengyang said calmly, "If he dares to do anything out of line as a minor, break his legs."
Nan Tao punched Yu Zhengyang in the chest: "What are you talking about? My son would never do such a thing. You are not allowed to break his legs. Is there any father like you?"
Yu Zhengyang pretended to be injured and fell on the sofa, taking the little person in his arms with him. "The Yu family's century-old family rules do not allow scum to appear."
Nan Tao could understand it intellectually, but couldn't accept it emotionally: "But..."
Yu Zhengyang stroked the little boy's soft black hair and said, "Don't worry. Have confidence in your son. Believe that he is a good child with both good character and good academic performance."
Seeing that he was being ignored and his parents were clinging to each other again, Yu Ze, who was standing aside, shook his head and sighed like a little adult, then turned and went into the kitchen to find Grandpa Lin.
Nan Tao was not hungry at lunch, mainly because she got up late and had breakfast late, so it was almost like both breakfast and lunch.
But looking at the loving soup her son made for her, Nan Tao couldn't help but shed tears of emotion like an old mother, "My son is so kind, Mommy loves you."
Yu Ze thoughtfully served Nan Tao a bowl of fish soup: "Mommy, try it, be careful it's hot."
Nan Tao took a big sip and said with emotion, "It's so delicious. Thank you, baby."
Yu Zhengyang peeled the shrimps and placed them in Nan Tao's bowl. "Don't just drink the soup, eat the shrimps." As he said that, he placed a small dish of sauce in front of Nan Tao.
Nan Tao's attention was drawn to her. She put down the fish soup, picked up the peeled shrimp, and happily dipped it into her favorite sauce. "Mmm~ delicious."
Yu Ze looked at the fish soup that no one was interested in and said loudly, "Mommy, try the fish meat. It's very fresh and tender. It's super delicious."
Nan Tao felt her bloated stomach, but still gave her son face as she picked up a piece of fish: "Not bad, very fresh and tender, no bones."
Yu Ze said happily: "I asked the chef to remove the fish bones. The chef is amazing."
Yu Zhengyang glanced at Yu Ze, put the peeled shrimp in Yu Ze's bowl, and said lightly: "Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping."
After hearing this, Yu Ze silently lowered his head and ate his meal.
Yu Zhengyang continued to put the peeled shrimps in Nan Tao's bowl.
Nan Tao yelled, "No more, I can't eat anymore." Then she put all the shrimps into Yu Ze's bowl.
Yu Ze's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Mommy."
Yu Zhengyang looked resentful, you little bastard.
After dinner, the family took a walk in the shade of the back garden to help digest the food.
Yu Zhengyang walked lazily with his long legs, watching his wife and son playing in front.
Suddenly a cell phone rang.
Yu Zhengyang answered the phone calmly, "What's up?"
After talking for a long time on the other end of the phone, Yu Zhengyang said calmly, "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Zhengyang quickened his pace and in the blink of an eye he was beside his wife. He whispered, "The Qi family is holding a charity auction dinner tonight. Do you want to go and have some fun and buy something you like?"
Nan Tao looked up: "Are you going?"
Yu Zhengyang: "Well, the Yu Group's charity fund is one of the initiators. This time it's the Qi family's turn to be the organizer. They invited me to give a speech, and I accepted."
Nan Tao: "The Qi family? Is that the Qi family that made their fortune in real estate?"
Yu Zhengyang nodded: "It's their family."
Nan Tao curled her lips. If it was the Qi family, she would not go because she and Qi Xin, the eldest daughter of the Qi family, did not get along.
Oddly enough, she and Qi Xin had been good friends for a while in elementary school, barely playmates. But when they entered junior high, they went to different schools, and their relationship gradually faded. They barely kept in touch until they went to the same school again in high school. Sadly, they didn't become close friends; instead, they became estranged.
As for the reason, Nan Tao didn't quite understand it. Anyway, Qi Xin inexplicably targeted her in various ways and became Rong Ya's follower, talking about Rong Ya all the time. She also envied Rong Ya and Yu Zhengyang for being the most suitable couple in the school, which made her angry.
Later, the two became increasingly incompatible and incompatible. One time, Qi Xin scolded herself, and her brother Nan Bo heard it and gave her a severe lesson. From then on, Qi Xin behaved on the surface, but she kept making small moves secretly.
Of course, Nan Tao was not a person with a good temper, so she picked on Qi Xin's sore spots and poked her lungs, making Qi Xin so angry that she often jumped up and down. However, due to Nan Bo's warning, she did not dare to do anything out of line.
I didn't expect to hear news about Qi Xin again after so many years.
Just as Nan Tao was about to say no, she heard the conversation between her son and Tongtong. She was stunned and almost tripped herself.
System: [Xiao Ze, you and your mom will attend this charity auction dinner. There will be a big scandal about the person your mom hates the most, Qi Xin.]
Yu Ze was curious: "What melon?"
System: [Qi Xin is pregnant, but the child in her belly is not her husband's, but the one she keeps as a male college student.]
Yu Ze was stunned: "Ah!"
System: [And her current husband was someone she had manipulated into getting. Her husband, Shen Bei, was a prestigious university student and deeply in love with his college girlfriend. However, after Qi Xin took a fancy to him, she forced Shen Bei to break up with his girlfriend, Liu Ling. She threatened to ruin the startup company Shen Bei and a classmate had started. After being forced to break up with his girlfriend, Shen Bei became a live-in son-in-law for the Qi family. Fearing a rekindled relationship, Qi Xin had Liu Ling disfigured. Afterward, Shen Bei acted very dotingly toward his wife in front of others, pampering her in every way.]
Yu Zhengyang helped his wife steady herself. "You're so old, but you're still not careful when walking. What if you fall and get hurt?"
Nan Tao didn't care about Yu Zhengyang at all. She pricked up her ears and listened to her son and Tongtong talking with great interest.
Yu Ze couldn't believe it, "So bad!"
System: [The more ridiculous thing is yet to come. Didn’t Qi Xin become a female celebrity? And then she hired an assistant. Can you guess who the assistant is?]
Yu Ze shook his head: "Who is it?"
The system excitedly said: [It turned out to be the disfigured Liu Ling! ]
Yu Ze: “Wow.”
The system said: [Since Shen Bei was forced to break up with his girlfriend Liu Ling, he has been frantically looking for her but has been unable to find her. He has surrounded himself with people who look like Liu Ling. Liu Ling had plastic surgery after being disfigured, but she still has an unsightly scar at the corner of her eye. Even so, she is the one who looks most like Liu Ling. After all, she is the real person. Naturally, she has become the most beloved person around Shen Bei.]
Nan Tao ate the melon with gusto. And, go on, what does this have to do with tonight's banquet?
The system continued: [Qi Xin usually beats or scolds Liu Ling, but Liu Ling behaves very docilely. Then, Qi Xin confidently leaves the charity auction items to Liu Ling. Then, Liu Ling broadcasts the evidence he's gathered of Qi Xin and Shen Bei's infidelity on the big screen, ruining both of their reputations.]
Nan Tao Oh no, no way, is it so exciting and thrilling?
Ahhh, why not hold the party in the afternoon, but in the evening.
Nan Tao felt itchy and looked at the naked body in broad daylight. She wished time would speed up and go forward to the night to eat the melon.
The system froze for a moment: [Huh? Let me see, I seem to have missed something. I found it. Liu Ling told Shen Bei that it was Qi Xin who arranged it, saying that the Qi family was just using Shen Bei as a dog, working like a slave for the Qi Group. She told Qi Xin that it was Shen Bei who arranged it. Qi Xin couldn't accept that Shen Bei, a dog-like person, dared to cheat on her, keep women, and even oppose her, especially since these women looked like Liu Ling. So the two of them fell out. Shen Bei had led the Qi Group to prosperity over the years, planting many pawns and winning over many people. The two factions were fighting fiercely.]
Yu Ze was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.
Nan Tao had the same expression as her. Using Yu Zhengyang's strength to steady herself, she quickly said, "I'm going too. I'm going too."
Yu Zhengyang was confused, "Why are you so excited?"
Nan Tao's lips curled up into a grin, unable to stop.
How can I not be excited when I see that my mortal enemy is about to get into big trouble?
Oh, no, I'm really excited.
Yu Ze walked to Nan Tao and said, "Mommy, I want to go too."
Yu Zhengyang looked down at the tiny thing that just reached his waist, wondering, "Don't you dislike crowds?"
Nan Tao quickly said, "No problem, Mommy will take you there."
Time passed by minute by minute. Nan Tao had never felt that time was so unbearable. It felt like a year.
After receiving Lin Hong's call, Nan Tao asked, "Hong, what's the matter?"
Lin Hong: "I'm worried about you, but you sound like you're in a good mood."
Nan Tao smiled and said, "Hey, problem solved."
Lin Hong was curious: "How do you say that?"
Nan Tao: "The picture Rongya posted was fake. It was a screenshot deliberately taken to create the atmosphere of the two of them taking a photo together. I watched the video and there were many other people around my husband at the time."
Lin Hong was surprised: "She is quite powerful. She even dares to provoke Boss Yu. Isn't she afraid of backlash?"
