Chapter 20: The Twentieth Day of Madness (Edited) Such a stupid killer, Nan...
Chapter 20
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million..." Tan Mo counted the balance on her phone. "It's already fifteen million, three hundred thousand."
Originally, because she transferred two million yuan for beating up Nangong Lie, her balance was almost about to fall below ten million yuan. However, due to the incident with Hu Jiayu's rumored girlfriend, Tan Mo directly earned more than five million yuan.
As expected, the emotional fluctuations of young couples are the most profitable.
I just feel a little sorry for Lin Yu.
But after hearing Lin Yu's complaints yesterday, Tan Mo felt very uncomfortable as she couldn't expose this secret relationship.
"Well, you can't have your cake and eat it too." Tan Mo hid in the corner and chatted with the system.
"Auntie Tan, come and move the table, stop being lazy." A voice from not far away interrupted Tan Mo's leisurely and elegant mood, forcing her to come out from the shade and work.
"It's such a hot day, it's better to lie down at home." Tan Mo sighed.
System: "So why are you dressing up as a nanny when you come out today?"
Tan Mo looked at her rustic, gray nanny uniform and sighed softly, "It's all about making money."
After witnessing the rapid increase in her balance yesterday, Tan Mo's desire to make money, which had been dormant for many days, was rekindled.
There was a worm hiding in the house, and then it turned into a dragon.
So when Qin Ming asked her if she wanted to attend the party, Tan Mo immediately nodded in agreement.
It’s a party, or a wealthy party like in old romance novels. Isn’t it like a mouse falling into a rice jar - returning to Tan Mo’s happy hometown?
There's so much gossip to be heard and so much money to be made!
In dramas like this one about the real and fake daughter, the author will use the method of first suppressing and then praising to achieve the plot of slapping the reader in the face, giving the reader a sense of satisfaction.
How to suppress it then?
Usually, passersby around would chirp quietly to belittle the real daughter who had returned from the countryside.
Isn’t the chirping of crickets equivalent to gossip, isn’t it equivalent to money?
Oh my God, can they keep tickling her 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without a break?
System: "Host, you are more terrifying than the capitalists."
After receiving this news, Tan Mo actually planned carefully how to make use of the crickets from Passerby A. The best case scenario would be to live broadcast it, and it had to be done secretly without letting them know, so that she could make two profits.
But this is too disgusting and lowers her character.
If it is a live broadcast in broad daylight, then Passerby A is not a fool, so how could he crow in front of the live broadcast?
Then again, the gossip system requires her to hear the news before the money is paid, and Tan Mo has no way to deal with it.
But think about it from another angle, besides her, there must be others who will crow at the wealthy party.
It’s a wealthy family, a family full of gossip.
Of course, the ones who know the most about the gossips of the wealthy families are staff members like Li Ma, Lin Ma, and Huang Ma.
So Tan Mo used some tricks to squeeze into the mother circle and became Tan Ma.
After listening to the host's comprehensive plan, I couldn't help but admire him: "You really love making money."
"No, I'm more interested in listening to gossip."
Tan Mo ran forward and helped Lin Ma move the table.
"Have you rested well?" Mother Lin smiled. "Don't listen to Zeng Tao. He's just talking without any pain in his back. It's such a big villa with a garden. You've moved so many tables and chairs. What's wrong with resting for a while?"
"I think it's almost time outside, past three o'clock, and the guests are coming soon. Let's go to Aunt Li's and get something to eat."
So, Tan Mo was taken by Lin Ma to the kitchen with Li Ma, and they started eating and chatting about gossip.
This is the case with the lower-level staff in wealthy families. Even if they have not worked together for a long time, they all have a warm sense of mutual understanding among the lower-level people.
"Did you see that man? Even though he looks so handsome, he actually has Mediterranean hair and is bald." Aunt Li poked Tan Mo with her elbow and pointed her chin, motioning her to look over.
Sure enough, he was a handsome guy. Tan Mo nodded while eating the crab legs.
Mother Lin: "How did you know?"
Mother Li: "I went to the bathroom to clean that day and happened to see him taking down the hair on top of his head."
The three of them were silent for a moment, as if they were all thinking of that strange scene.
Mother Lin: "What did he say?"
Li Ma: "What else can I say? I just turned around and ran away."
It was a bit funny, and Tan Mo laughed out loud.
Li Ma gave each of them another crab claw and said, "Eat more of the extra ones."
"Hey, I know this guy!" Lin's mother pursed her lips. "My friend works as a nanny in their house. There have been rumors recently that he seems to have sperm problems and can't have children."
"Ah! But doesn't he have children? I've seen his children often come here to play with our young master."
Mother Lin: "So now he suspects that the child is not his."
Tan Mo: Wow!
Lin's mother: "But he did a genetic test, and the results showed that it seemed to be a 99.7% match."
Mother Li: "Do you know the specific matching degree?"
Mother Lin sighed. "Of course. He got really mad that day and trashed the study and the living room. My sisters and I went to clean up. We spent the whole night cleaning and happened to see the paper he had thrown on the floor. We were so tired that we couldn't even straighten our backs. It was terrible."
Tan Mo sucked on her crab claws and asked, "Does he have any brothers or anything like that?"
Mother Lin shook her head: "No, he's my only child."
Tan Mo: "Then his child is his younger brother."
"Holy crap! Is that true?!" Aunt Li's eyes widened. "I've been a nanny for so many years, and I rarely get to hear such explosive gossip."
It is indeed explosive, and the increase in the system screen number is equally explosive.
Tan Mo took a quick glance and said, "This kind of number is usually common among brothers." It's a cliché from old romance novels.
"You ask his son and his grandfather to do a paternity test."
Mother Lin slapped her forehead and said, "No wonder my sister said that when he and his wife wanted to divorce, the old man refused to agree at all, saying that he couldn't live without his daughter-in-law. He also said that for a family of three, living a good life was more important than anything else."
Tan Mo: ...
Mother Li: ...
Tan Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Another theory that even though the child is not yours, the wife is yours, right?"
Li Ma repeatedly cried out, "What about the mother-in-law? The old man's spouse must be pissed off!"
Mother Lin: "He died a long time ago, before his son even got married. Looking at it this way, it's a blessing he died early, otherwise he would have been so angry that he died."
Li Ma frowned and asked, "Since the daughter-in-law is married to her husband, how can she be interested in her father-in-law?"
Mother Lin: "It seems that this daughter-in-law was dating her husband at first, but later broke up for some unknown reason. She started dating her father-in-law and then got married."
Tan Mo was really shocked.
Is this a real-life version of the old-fashioned plot of "Since I can't be your wife, I'll be your stepmother"?
Sure enough, it has to be a wealthy family.
After nearly two hours of eating melons, Tan Mo had earned over 200,000 yuan. After completing the tasks assigned by the system, she now made 30 yuan per second even if she ate melons other than the main character.
Compared to the protagonist, it was a drop in the bucket, but it was easy. It was no less comfortable than those embarrassing tasks issued by the system that made her pick her toes.
After saying goodbye to Lin Ma and Li Ma, Tan Mo walked out of the kitchen and walked to the path next to the villa.
Qin Ming had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw Tan Mo dressed as a nanny, he felt dizzy.
The key point is that he was the one who found this nanny outfit for Tan Mo. If Uncle Song knew about it, he would be even more shocked.
Qin Ming came forward anxiously, "Miss, you're finally out. Uncle Song has been asking me about your situation and asked you to finish your makeup as soon as possible. That way he can take you to the dinner earlier and introduce you to others."
Here it comes, the plot of the real and fake daughter being slapped in the face is here.
However, since this is an innovative plot after Tan Mo traveled through the book, the system has no way of telling her whether she has the script of the vicious real daughter or the kind real daughter, so Tan Mo doesn't know whether she is the character who slaps the face or the character who is slapped in the face.
Because in old romance novels, a true daughter can be a jealous, twisted, and ugly character who doesn't know the big picture, or she can be someone who maintains the image of truth, goodness, and beauty even when she is born and raised in a very different environment.
Judging from her current twisted and perverted psychology towards Nangong Lie, she seems to be the one who got slapped in the face.
In order to avoid this situation, Tan Mo plans to go against the routine.
After hearing Qin Ming's words, Tan Mo dusted herself off.
She said in a nonchalant tone, "Just tell me I'm a babysitter. No need to cover up for me. Let's go to Uncle Song's place now."
"What about the high-end makeup studio? Not going? They've got dresses from Chanel, Dior, Valentino, LV, and other major brands."
Tan Mo really didn't want to admit that she was moved.
But in fact, when I heard the words "high-end makeup studio", especially the name of the luxury brand, what came to my mind were the scenes of the ugly duckling turning into a white swan in old romance novels.
The handsome male protagonist took the female protagonist to stand in front of the fitting mirror. As the camera changed, the female protagonist changed into one set of beautiful clothes after another in different styles.
Even though it’s tacky, old-fashioned, and full of consumerist temptations, she just loves it!
It's not her money anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tempt her a little.
Tan Mo took a half-step forward with her right foot, which was wearing old Beijing cloth shoes, and said to Qin Ming, "You know how to coax people. Let's go to the studio first."
She wanted to see how beautiful the high-end makeup and styling that the wealthy family prepared for her would be!
Half an hour later, when she saw the dazzling and shining fairy dress, Tan Mo knew that she could not walk anymore.
Before transmigrating into a book, Tan Mo had seen vlogs of popular stars preparing to walk the red carpet at international film festivals. In these vlogs, the stars would be invited by a brand to a studio to choose a dress, surrounded by dedicated staff.
If Tan Mo envied those female stars at that time, now it is the female stars who envy her.
Because what appears before your eyes is a scene that is even more magnificent and brilliant than the one in the vlog.
There were three floors of gorgeous clothes waiting for Tan Mo to choose from.
"Miss, I don't know what brand you liked before, so this time we only have Dior. Do you still like it? If not, we can go to another brand now."
How can I change this?
Tan Mo felt like she was in heaven. The skirts that she had only seen in online magazines or at celebrities' business events before were now within her reach.
Tan Mo swallowed her saliva exaggeratedly: "This is fine."
A brand representative came forward and introduced: "This is the makeup artist, who often does makeup for top female celebrities; this is the stylist, who will match your looks; and finally, the photographer, who will take your photos."
Tan Mo felt like an old country bumpkin who had just arrived in the city. She nodded repeatedly and said yes, yes, yes.
Qin Ming: "Send the young lady downstairs to dress up."
*
The bright makeup mirror reflects a beautiful oval face, almond eyes, rosy cheeks, and smooth bone structure, which is impeccable in the changes of light and shadow.
Different from internet celebrity makeup, the senior makeup artist gave Tan Mo a more refined texture on her original face.
Tan Mo looked at it for a long time and couldn't believe that she would have such a beautiful day.
Although many of her classmates and friends had said that she was pretty and had attractive features, she had no money and no energy to dress herself up at that time, so she lived a very rough life.
Beauty is naturally greatly reduced.
"Oh my god, it turns out that there are only lazy women in the world, not ugly women. I have finally broken into this wealthy family." Tan Mo covered her mouth and laughed, then took hundreds of pretentiously selfie photos.
I really don't want to take this makeup off.
Tan Mo just wanted to come and experience it, and had no intention of dressing up and making a grand appearance.
According to the law of face-slapping in romance novels, the more carefully you dress up, the more painful the slap will be.
She still planned to wear ordinary clothes so as not to make things worse and also to attract gossip.
Tan Mo took one last reluctant look. No, before removing her makeup, she had to find a living person to praise her.
Who are you looking for?
The people in the studio had asked Tan Mo to leave as soon as they finished putting on her makeup, otherwise it would be so embarrassing for her to admire herself alone. It would be better for her to go find Qin Ming.
She and Qin Ming are relatively familiar with each other.
Tan Mo looked around before she found Qin Ming in the corner by the window. There was no one around.
Qin Ming held the phone, stood there with his upper body hunched, his eyes never leaving the screen.
He looks so wretched, as if the words "I am a bad guy" are engraved on his forehead, making it obvious that he is doing something bad.
What makes it even clearer is that the dialogue box between him and Nangong Lie is reflected on the neat and clear glass.
Killer Qin: The fake lady is still putting on makeup.
Nangong Lie: She probably wants to make a splash and surpass me.
Killer Qin: That’s possible.
Nangong Lie: But with me here, she can only embarrass herself.
Nangong Lie: Go and see what kind of dress she is wearing. I want to look better than her.
Killer Qin: Okay, sir.
Nangong Lie: Tell me about her situation at any time.
Killer Qin: Got it, Master.
Qin Ming put away his phone and subconsciously looked up, but he didn't expect his phone to hit the glass with a "bang". He covered his head with his hands, closed his eyes, and screamed in pain.
You could tell it was painful just by the sound, and Tan Mo's whole face wrinkled.
The pain finally subsided, Qin Ming opened his eyes, and saw Tan Mo greeting him in the reflection of the glass.
Qin Ming was frightened and hit his head on the glass again.
Tan Mo: ??? Nangong Lie is lucky to have such a stupid killer.
More than twenty minutes later, Nangong Lie received the photo sent by Qin Ming.
Killer Qin: Master, this is the evening dress prepared by the fake lady.
Nangong Lie clicked on it and saw that it was a nanny suit.
