Chapter 214 Long time no see, you're even more beautiful
Fu Qingci and Lin Mu got into a fight, which wasn't a big deal and Yan Sui didn't pay much attention to it.
The problem was that when Lin Mu went back to his wife to complain, he overheard Granny Zhang urging her to get a divorce.
“Your husband is fat and ugly, unlike my grandson who is handsome.”
“He’s a spineless coward, always kneeling down, unlike my grandson who has a manly spirit.”
"Why don't you just divorce him and marry my grandson? My grandson works at a chicken farm; he's good-looking and has a respectable job."
Lin Mu immediately flew into a rage and beat up Granny Zhang.
Granny Zhang was in good health; how could he possibly knock her down with a single punch?
But no matter what, she lay on the ground, yelling that this matter wasn't over until Lin Mu paid her 200,000 yuan in compensation.
The production team quickly approached Yan Sui, thinking that she and Granny Zhang were neighbors and could at least exchange a few words.
After Yan Sui left, Granny Zhang did indeed change her tune.
But to their utter surprise, Granny Zhang changed her mind and said, "Two hundred thousand isn't enough, I want three hundred thousand now!"
Yan Sui spread her hands and said helplessly, "I already told you not to make me do it."
The production team had no choice but to negotiate with Lin Mu, since they couldn't do anything about the old lady.
"Either let her call the police, and you pay whatever the court orders you to pay."
"Either you apologize to the old lady properly, talk to her nicely, and settle the matter with money."
Given Lin Mu's situation, the best course of action is definitely to call the police and pursue legal channels.
After all, this old lady seemed difficult to deal with.
Lin Mu has no plans to quit the show for the time being; he still needs to think about how to appease Qiao Dingbang.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and pay the 200,000 yuan.
Granny Zhang immediately beamed with joy, wishing he would punch her a couple more times.
With this 200,000 yuan, her grandson can finally get married!
“Daughter, you shouldn’t get a divorce. Your husband may be fat and ugly, but he’s rich! I’ve been thinking, my grandson should still marry a virgin.”
Yan Sui clicked her tongue. "You'd better shut up."
Granny Zhang glared at him, "I didn't say anything wrong. If he's so tough, let him punch me again!"
Earn another 200,000!
Yan Sui couldn't bear to look; it was a complete mess.
After this minor incident, the afternoon program proceeded as scheduled.
Yan Sui led them to the lotus pond to pick lotus pods.
It was already autumn, and the lotus leaves should have withered, but Yan Sui's side was still lush and green.
However, the lotus flowers are gone, and the lotus pods are in their last batch.
They went down to the lotus pond, while Yan Sui only watched from the shore, staying out of the camera's view.
Before long, she noticed someone approaching her. She warily stepped back, avoiding the man's groping hand.
She looked up and, sure enough, it was Director Chen.
Director Chen's hand missed its target, but he wasn't embarrassed; he just smiled and rubbed his hands together.
"Yan Sui, it's been a long time. You've become even more beautiful."
He knew this wasn't the right time to talk to Yan Sui, but he couldn't help himself.
Even after retiring from the entertainment industry, Yan Sui did not disappear from the scene.
He had previously thought that when she fell on hard times, he would descend like a god to save her from her misfortune.
But at this moment, Yan Sui showed no signs of being disheveled at all.
"Look at this, no matter how nice Changqing Village is, it's still a rural place. How can such rough work be suitable for a delicate girl like you?"
Director Chen looked at her with a look of satisfaction, "Oh my, look at your fair and delicate hands. It would be so much better to play mahjong and have afternoon tea in the wives' circle. Why suffer here?"
As he spoke, he reached out to touch Yan Sui's hand.
Yan Sui picked up a pebble from her foot, and the pebble shot up as if it had eyes, smashing towards his wrist.
Director Chen clutched his wrist in pain, and before he could react, Yan Sui kicked him, sending him tumbling into the lotus pond.
"Oh dear, Director Chen, how could you be so careless!"
He said those words but had no intention of helping him; he turned and left.
Director Chen was helped up by the staff, glaring fiercely at her back.
Yan Sui didn't turn around; she felt disgusted even to look at him.
After leaving the lotus pond, Yan Sui intended to go find Fu Yansheng, but received a call from Tian Xiangjuan saying that Tong Ling had come over.
She had no choice but to drive her tricycle home.
"Yan Sui!" Mu Qing rushed out like a little bird.
Yan Sui parked her tricycle and casually asked, "Is there something you need?"
Mu Qing pouted, "Can't I play with you if there's nothing wrong? Why didn't you come to Mom's birthday last time? Mom was so disappointed."
Yan Sui paused, looking at her innocent and naive appearance.
She stared at Mu Qing, puzzled, and asked, "Why are you disappointed? I've never celebrated my birthday before."
Yan Zhaohua and Zou Shuangyun didn't have the time to celebrate her birthday with her.
At first, I had expectations, but after a while, I felt indifferent.
She doesn't have the habit of celebrating her birthday and doesn't care about it at all.
So I really don't understand why Tong Ling was disappointed.
"It is really naive to have expectations for a daughter that you have never raised."
Mu Qing's face stiffened, her feelings a mix of emotions.
Because Tong Ling has been with her on every birthday since she was a child.
"Is there something you need?" Yan Sui asked again.
Mu Qing bit her lip. "It seems like Mom wants to talk to you about something."
Yan Sui didn't say anything more and stepped into the house.
Upon seeing her, Tong Ling instinctively stood up.
"I haven't congratulated you on your new store opening yet."
Yan Sui raised an eyebrow and said in a casual and natural manner, "Thank you."
Tong Ling chatted with her for a few minutes, mostly about fresh food supermarkets.
After some rambling, he finally revealed his purpose: "Your Uncle Mu would like to invite you to a dinner party at his home."
Without even thinking, Yan Sui refused, saying, "I won't go. Please thank Mr. Mu for me."
Tong Ling glanced at Mu Qing, her eyes conveying a hint.
Mu Qing took Yan Sui's arm and said, "Come on, come on."
"No, I don't know many people in the industry."
Mu Qing: "Isn't it because I'm here with you?"
Tong Ling smiled and advised, "Friendship starts from not knowing each other. Let Qingqing help you chat with people and you'll get to know them better."
Mu Qing nodded vigorously.
Yan Sui, however, remained unmoved by their words, shaking her head no matter what they said.
"The banquet will invite young talents of similar age to you in the industry; you're sure to find someone you can chat with."
Yan Sui suddenly realized, "Isn't this Mrs. Mu's real purpose?"
Tong Ling's expression remained unchanged, showing no embarrassment at being exposed.
"You are still young and haven't experienced many people and things. Once you've been exposed to the outside world, you'll know that there are even more wonderful things waiting for you."
Yan Sui touched her chin. "I'm very satisfied with my boyfriend right now. We'll talk about it again when I get tired of him."
Tong Ling hesitated, not wanting to be too forceful.
Don't be fooled by Yan Sui's seemingly friendly demeanor; she can turn on you in an instant.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later."
She harbored a thousand and one complaints about Yan Sui dating a boyfriend from the countryside.
In particular, many people in the industry know that she had a daughter before she married into the Mu family, and they want her to bring her out to meet them.
But Yan Sui's current status is rather embarrassing, which makes her feel somewhat melancholy.
After a few awkward words of small talk, Tong Ling left with Mu Qing.
Yan Sui didn't take their hasty arrival and departure to heart, and turned to find Fu Yansheng.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw the people inside through the half-open door.
An elderly woman she didn't recognize came and was talking to Mr. Fu.
“I went to the old house and found out you weren’t home. You’ve all gone to live in the countryside. Is that reasonable?”
