Chapter 40 Calling Mom for the First Time

Xu Lin arrived late with a group of strong young men.

"Where are the people? Where are the people?"

They pushed their way in against the crowd, all sweating profusely.

Of course, it was also because I went to the wrong place just now and ran around the night market for a long time.

Otherwise, we wouldn’t have found him only now.

Fu Chao saw Xu Lin coming with great momentum, with several people following him like a leader.

Fu Chao: "Director Xu, are you... preparing for a group fight?"

Xu Lin was a little embarrassed:

"Didn't I hear that someone was bullying Nan Yi?"

At first, when Xu Lin heard Nanzhi holding a kitchen knife or something, his head was buzzing and he rushed out without thinking.

After running two steps, I heard the assistant director explain that someone had bullied Nan Yi and Nan Zhi and was looking for someone to settle the score.

Xu Lin paused.

Then, without saying a word, he turned back and called out a few strong young men.

...Don't worry about anything else, you can't lose in momentum! After hearing this, Fu Chao changed his opinion of Xu Lin.

Xu Lin has achieved good results as a director, but he is also a well-known profit-seeker in the industry.

Fu Chao never liked associating with this kind of people.

But I didn't expect that Xu Lin would actually have a protective side.

He was about to speak...

Xu Lin: "What if this gets out of hand and is caught on camera and posted online?"

Fu Chao immediately swallowed his words back: Director Xu, you are worthy of it.

Xu Lin found Nanzhi, and his attitude was not very good:

"Did you know..."

I suddenly felt a chill on my back. When I lowered my head, I saw Nan Yi leaning against Nanzhi's leg.

That pretty little face was full of attachment and dependence on Nanzhi, as well as wariness towards Xu Lin.

Xu Lin had to change the subject: "...Let's find a place to talk."

"good."

Nanzhi was not surprised at all.

Because of the failure of the radio equipment, such a big mess was caused. You don’t have to guess how bloody the situation was on the Internet.

At this moment, Xu Lin must be very angry.

Just at this moment, Qingxi, who was temporarily entrusted to the assistant by Fu Chao, was led over.

But at the age of 5, he had no idea what was going on and was eating his ice cream seriously.

Not only did he eat it himself, he also grabbed an unopened ice cream and handed it to Nan Yi:

"Brother Yi Yi, let's share the good stuff together!"

Nan Yi didn't want it.

Instead, relying on his animal-like instinct, he grabbed onto Nanzhi's trouser legs tightly, not wanting her to leave.

Nanzhi: "It's okay, I'll be back soon."

Then he said to Fu Chao:

"Please keep an eye on him for me. I'll be back soon."

His nonchalant attitude seemed to show that he didn't take the conversation as a big deal.

Xu Lin was so angry that he glared! He was about to curse! Fu Chao nodded and wanted to hold Nan Yi.

Nan Yi was anxious:

"Mother!"

He blurted out this already unfamiliar name!

He ran over again, stood in front of Nanzhi, and glared at the unfriendly Xu Lin:

"Don't bully my mother!"

Xu Lin fell into a subtle silence.

Nanzhi was even more stunned on the spot.

She had already discovered—

Since she woke up from this body, Nan Yi has never called "Mom" once.

Not only to her, but also to the attacker who previously occupied her body.

But the attacker didn't care at all and never noticed.

Now, Nan Yi calls her mother.

This means that…

He was accepting her!

It was clearly a very ordinary and small action, so why did Nanzhi feel her eyes sore?

Nanzhi suppressed her sobs and smiled:

"Don't worry, Mom will be fine."

Qingxi also comforted Nanyi: "Don't worry, my uncle is here, he knows how to fight!"

The person being beaten, Xu Lin: …

What's going on with this atmosphere of life and death separation?

Is he the villain in the drama? However, when they returned to the show's base camp, entered a separate small room, and removed all the radio equipment, Xu Lin's attitude was obviously more relaxed.

He asked calmly, "Is the abuse real?"

"no."

Nanzhi answered decisively and neatly.

Xu Lin: "How can you guarantee that?"

Nanzhi looked straight at Xu Lin:

"Doesn't Director Xu know what's going on?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Otherwise, what awaits her will not be this inquiry, but a huge breach of contract claim!

Xu Lin looked at Nanzhi in surprise:

"You... seem to have really changed a bit."

Nanzhi said, seemingly jokingly but actually seriously: "Maybe this is the real me."

I don’t know if Xu Lin understood or not, he just said two words: “Very good.”

Knock knock knock.

Xu Lin walked over to open the door, and saw Fu Chao standing outside.

"I caused this trouble by my careless words, so I have the responsibility to explain it clearly... Nanzhi did not abuse the child!"

He had a lot of speeches prepared.

Xu Lin replied, "I know."

"Director Xu doesn't believe it... huh?"

Fu Chao's face was full of confusion.

"But it's useless for me to believe it. The problem is whether the public and the police believe it! Some enthusiastic netizens have already reported it. The station asked us to suspend filming and said that the police would intervene in the investigation. The situation is more difficult than we thought!"

Xu Lin smiled bitterly, knowing that at this point, the situation was no longer under their control.

He said: "I can only try my best to cooperate with the investigation."

Fu Chao didn't respond.

After 10 years in the entertainment industry, he has long understood that there is no such thing as a person with a clear conscience.

He felt heavy-hearted and increasingly regretted his impulsive behavior.

What is going on?

He has always been cautious in his work, so why did he suddenly get too excited and run to question the show halfway through? He could have waited until the situation was investigated or until the show was finished.

"……Feel sorry."

This is the only thing Fu Chao can do.

It was so ridiculous and powerless that Fu Chao didn't even dare to look into Nanzhi's eyes!

Nanzhi, on the other hand, didn't care much.

In other words, she had already known that there was a mysterious force behind this, so she could not attribute the mistake to Fu Chao alone.

So she asked Fu Chao:

"Does your promise to work for me count?"

"You want to continue setting up the stall? Wasn't the filming paused?"

Fu Chao couldn't quite understand Nanzhi.

Nanzhi: "No matter how big the problem is, we still have to eat."

Fu Chao was suddenly infected by this open-mindedness and felt motivated!

"That makes sense! Even if the sky falls, we still have to eat first! Let's go! Set up the stall!"

Xu Lin, who was standing by, didn't react at all. He watched Nanzhi and Fu Chao say hello and leave.

That's not right! Aren't they recording a show? Isn't setting up a stall at the night market part of the show?

How come it seems like it's the other way around now, with stall-keeping becoming my main job and recording shows becoming my sideline? The assistant director guarding the door slid in:

"Director Xu, we are now..."

Xu Lin straightened his mind and said, "There is no abuse. This is all just a misunderstanding. Inform everyone and try to get through this storm smoothly."

The assistant director nodded repeatedly and was about to tell everyone the good news.

Xu Lin called him again:

"By the way, dinner has already been ordered, right? Then I'll pay for an extra meal for everyone. Let's have egg fried rice! Golden egg fried rice!"
