This was a lie that Baozhu's mother told in a desperate situation.
A grand piano was indeed bought, but it was for his younger brother Baozhu. Baozhu had never even taken a piano lesson, so how could he play the piano, let alone buy a piano for himself.
However, Baozhu really hasn't bought any gifts for herself in these years. Baozhu's mother couldn't think of anything, so she had to answer based on what was available at home. After all, she couldn't let netizens think that Baozhu had never bought herself anything in these years as a child star. This was simply too abnormal.
Normally, even if Baozhu's mother lies in front of the camera, Baozhu will cooperate with her. Baozhu has always been the most obedient, sensible and easy to control. Just praise her afterwards. This is how Baozhu has been coaxed over the years.
But as soon as Baozhu's mother finished speaking, Baozhu retorted with a puzzled look on her face: "No, that grand piano was bought for my brother, wasn't it? Mommy, have you forgotten? I haven't even taken a piano lesson, how could I buy a piano for myself?"
Baozhu's mother looked at Baozhu in shock. This was the first time Baozhu refuted her like this, and in front of the camera, in front of thousands of fans and audiences.
Baozhu's mother has been working as Baozhu's agent and has little experience in responding in front of the camera. It would be fine if Baozhu cooperated with her, but now Baozhu slapped her in the face in public, and Baozhu's mother's mind went blank.
Baozhu's father had experience as an actor, so his ability to respond on the spot was still online. He put his arm around Baozhu's mother's shoulders and said with a smile, "Indeed, you remembered it wrongly. Baozhu didn't like playing the piano since she was a child. Wasn't that grand piano a gift that Baozhu bought for her brother?"
Baozhu's mother finally realized what was happening and embarrassedly pretended that she had remembered it wrongly: "Alas...it was my fault, Hou~"
Baozhu's father continued calmly facing the camera, saying, "Our Baozhu has been sensible since she was young. She knows that as the eldest daughter in the family, she should set an example for her younger siblings. She is very filial to her parents. Whenever she gets paid for an appearance, the first thing she thinks of is buying gifts for her family. Her younger siblings, as well as Baozhu's mother and I, have all received gifts from Baozhu. In contrast, Baozhu rarely buys gifts for herself! Baozhu always says that as long as her family is happy, that is her best gift~"
The host smiled and agreed: "It turns out Baozhu is so sensible! This must be inseparable from the education of Baozhu's parents~"
While chatting and laughing, Baozhu's father took control of the situation. Baozhu looked at her father meaningfully. She used to regard him as her role model and was proud to have such a father!
Baozhu then chimed in, "That's right! Mommy always taught me that I'm the pillar of the Zhen family. I'm the eldest sister, and I have the responsibility of taking good care of my younger siblings!"
Baozhu spoke to the host with a proud look on her face, but the more the host listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
He frowned slightly in disapproval.
Why does this sound like PUA rhetoric? How can there be a five-year-old supporting the family? The beams in the Zhen family's house are too low, aren't they? Do they need a five-year-old to support them?
Zhen Baozhu continued to talk proudly, "I went on a promotional spree right after returning from Yunnan after filming my last program. As soon as I got the advertising fee, I signed my brother up for Teacher Zhang Mingmin's piano summer camp! My mom said my brother is four years old now, and it's the perfect time for him to start piano lessons! He can't be like me, constantly running around and missing out on the best years to learn piano!"
The host's brows furrowed even tighter.
What are you talking about?
When can one learn piano at the age of four, but miss it at the age of five?
Is the age limit for piano learning so strict?
This is obviously what parents say to fool their children, right?
Baozhu believed it just like that?
It sounds like Baozhu's parents' excuse for not wanting her to learn piano.
The host then started gossiping and asked, "Baozhu, do you want to learn piano?"
In fact, this question was not in the script at all. The host asked it purely out of sympathy for Baozhu and curiosity.
Baozhu didn't give anyone a chance to answer before she immediately replied, "Of course I want to learn! But I don't have the time! I'm busy running around seven days a week, so how can I find time to learn the piano? I can only let my brother realize my dream for me!"
"I'm so proud of my younger brother. He's been learning piano for a year and has participated in teacher Zhang Mingmin's summer camp. He can already play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!"
"Poof" Hao Wendi, who was waiting in the audience, couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Caught on camera, he scratched his head in embarrassment and grinned at Qi Mubai beside him, "No, I thought he was a genius pianist. After taking Zhang Mingmin's class, he could only play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I think if Teacher Zhang knew his summer camp was getting such negative publicity, he'd be furious. If I were Teacher Zhang, I'd return the money to them right now."
Qi Mubai was even more embarrassed. Even with his winking, he still couldn't stop Hao Wendi from complaining. Finally, he could only say, "Stop talking. You have a microphone~"
Only then did Hao Wendi remember, so he covered his mouth and manually switched to the microphone.
In fact, there was no need for Hao Wendi to complain, the barrage of comments had already taken off, and netizens started to complain for Zhen Baozhu from the moment they talked about the grand piano.
As the interview continued, there was no time to read the netizens' complaints, which went beyond complaints and turned into anger across the entire network.
Han Mo secretly watched the comments in the live broadcast room:
"How can there be such parents? The host couldn't stand it anymore. Did you see that?"
"So this is the treatment my pearl has been subjected to?"
"A five-year-old pillar of the family? I'm thirty-five now. My mom won't let me open the door to strangers at home. Zhen Baozhu is already the pillar of the family!"
"We're from the countryside here. I don't quite understand. I always thought raising children was the responsibility of parents. Shouldn't Zhen Baozhu's brothers and sisters be raised by their parents? How did it become the eldest sister's responsibility?"
"Do you know how expensive Teacher Wendi's piano summer camp is? The registration fee is over a million!"
"I'm afraid only the youngest son of the Zhen family is going to learn from Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!"
"Is Baozhu really their biological child?"
The netizens cursed too harshly in the barrage and many of them were kicked out.
The ones left behind are a group of enthusiastic netizens who still have some sanity and are sarcastic.
There are so many things to complain about in the interview with Zhen Baozhu's family that netizens are simply pissed off by the Zhen family.
Some people were even so angry that they started to criticize Baozhu, saying that she didn't fight back. She was bullied like this, but she still looked proud. How serious was this PUA?
You are being exploited like this and you don’t even realize it, yet you still look so proud?
Han Mo blinked at Baozhu, and seeing that the effect was achieved, Baozhu shut up obediently at the right time, as if everything she had just said was completely sincere and genuine.
Baozhu's parents seemed very passive. It was not right for them to get angry, after all, everything Baozhu said was true. However, they could guess what the public opinion would be like without reading the comments, and they didn't know how much money the public relations would cost later.
This orb is truly amazing!
He's been interviewed before and used to be very measured in his words. What happened today? Was he acting on purpose?
After Baozhu answered the host's question, she smiled and hugged her parents' arms. The family was very affectionate and there was no sign of anything wrong.
【The pearl is not simple.】
Han Mo couldn't help but admire in her heart.
