International piano competition?

This was the first time Shen Qingqing heard that the original body didn't care about Zhou Jiayan, so it was normal for her not to know about such things related to study.

Shen Qingqing looked at the two children who were happily eating French fries and felt a little sympathy in her heart.

Oh, how pitiful, it's so curled up at such a young age.

The system became excited again, "Host, the heroine is deliberately provoking you, don't be fooled!"

In fact, this passage does exist in the original book, but the timeline is a little later, when the first episode of the show was already recorded.

During the show, Shen Linyan "accidentally" boasted that her son was going to compete for a place in an international piano competition. In addition, Liang Tianyi and Zhou Jiayan competed in piano on the variety show, and Zhou Jiayan lost.

The original body couldn't stand it, and felt that Zhou Jiayan had lost her, so she replaced all of Zhou Jiayan's lessons with piano after returning home, forcing him to study from morning till night. The already bad relationship between mother and son became even worse.

Later, Zhou Jiayan even started crying in front of the camera, and the brand of her as a "vicious stepmother" was deepened by 10%.

Of course, Shen Qingqing would not be fooled by this now. In her opinion, for a kid like Zhou Jiayan who was born in Rome, whether he is good at piano or Go will not affect his future.

Shen Qingqing didn't want to pay any attention to him, but she found that Zhou Jiayan looked nervous and even stopped after eating only half of the chicken wing.

With a sigh, as a "good mother" who lets her children develop freely, Shen Qingqing thought it would be better to explain, "Yanyan's piano learning is just a hobby. If he wants to go, he can fight for it. If he doesn't want to go, forget it. After all, Yanyan won't rely on piano for a living in the future."

In response to Shen Qingqing's answer, the system shouted anxiously, "Host, if you say this, some people will definitely think that you are a vicious stepmother who deliberately ruined Zhou Jiayan!"

And the fact was indeed just as the system had predicted, conspiracy theories quickly spread in the live broadcast room.

[Hahaha, Shen Qingqing is still as bad as ever. ]

[God doesn’t make a living by playing the piano, hahaha. ]

[You are all too naive. Shen Qingqing is obviously ruining her child, just paving the way for her future children.]

[+1 to the above, I think we were all too naive before, now seeing Shen Qingqing deliberately playing badly and ignoring Zhou Jiayan, so as to make her useless.]

[Shen Linyan is still a good mother. She understands the principle of loving her children and planning for them. ]

…

Shen Qingqing was no longer afraid of this artificial little idiot, and immediately retorted in her mind, "Then I go back and teach Zhou Jiayan like in the original novel? Will that end well? Have you forgotten the bad idea you came up with before?"

The system sighed helplessly, today's host is so difficult to manage!

Zhou Jiayan, a five-year-old boy, couldn't think so much. After hearing those words, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He actually doesn't have much interest in the piano, and is very aware of his own level, and doesn't want to participate in any competitions.

He glanced at his stepmother out of the corner of his eye. Her expression was normal. Shouldn't she be lying? His heart was relieved immediately.

Shen Linyan's mood was also a bit complicated. Shen Qingqing said that if her child competed for a place in the competition, he would have to rely on the piano to make a living. Why did she suddenly become so weird?

But Shen Qingqing thought it was too simple.

She suppressed her dissatisfaction and continued, "I think it's always good for children to participate in more activities and broaden their horizons. We as mothers should still think more about our children. If we relax now, our children will blame us in the future."

Shen Qingqing sneered in her heart, this was a direct hint that she had ulterior motives.

But does she think she is the only one with a brain or does she not have a mouth?

This was forcing her to be Versailles. After all, how could the child raised by Zhou Yexuan be really mediocre?

"We have considered what you said. Piano and other things are only suitable for cultivating sentiment. If Yanyan wants to inherit the family business in the future, he still needs to learn mathematics, economics and other related subjects. According to Yanyan's math teacher, our Yanyan has already learned the elementary school Olympiad mathematics courses. I think that children's energy is limited after all, and we as parents still have to focus on the key points."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Zhou Jiayan, "Yanyan, tell me, are you so great?"

What Shen Qingqing said was indeed true. Zhou Jiayan was average in the arts, but he was very good at math, physics and chemistry. He was a little genius praised by all the teachers.

When Zhou Jiayan heard her stepmother's praise, her ears turned red and she nodded shyly, "Yes, auntie, Yanyan is good at math."

The mother and son's words successfully shut Shen Linyan up. If she continued, she might become a representative of blindly raising children. She smiled awkwardly and said, "That's good. I was distracted just now. It's good that Yanyan has other hobbies."

It’s just that netizens are more sensitive than she imagined.

[Why do I feel like Shen Linyan is really trying to pick out the goods, and she seems to be hinting at something. ]

[It feels like he deliberately wanted Shen Qingqing to know that Zhou Jiayan's piano grades were not good, so that Shen Qingqing would force the child. ]

[I think so too. There is something fishy about it. Shen Qingqing said it is not important whether one learns piano well or not. She also implied that it is not good for the children.]

[Can you please stop being mean? Anyone who has watched Lin Yan's live broadcast knows that she has always been concerned about her children's studies. She just wanted to remind Shen Qingqing.]

[Do some people maliciously speculate about others just because they have bad intentions? Our Lin Yan has been in the industry for a long time and is a well-known artist with good character. ]

Compared to the turbulent undercurrents between the adults at the table, the situation of the two children was very simple.

The two children were not best friends in kindergarten, but they could still play together. After dinner, they ran hand in hand to the children's play area in the restaurant, leaving only Shen Linyan and Shen Qingqing at the table.

Without Zhou Jiayan, Shen Qingqing was too lazy to maintain superficial harmony, not to mention that Shen Linyan had just tried to provoke her to hurt a five-year-old child!

Shen Linyan felt that Shen Qingqing was a little abnormal. She had always been cautious and stopped making small talk.

So Shen Qingqing enjoyed the rest of the meal quite well. After all, Italian food is delicious and this is a famous restaurant with a good reputation.

The world of children is always simple. After half an hour of playing, the two have begun to call each other brothers.

When they were about to part, the two children were reluctant to leave. They held each other’s hands and began to look forward to the journey ahead.

Shen Qingqing had no objection to children, and Liang Tianyi was also very cute.

And when Shen Qingqing thought of the densely packed courses arranged for him by Shen Linyan in the original book, he seemed to see his former self. Kids nowadays are under too much pressure!

They had just finished dinner and there was still a day tomorrow for the "child laborer" to pack their luggage, so Shen Qingqing planned to take Zhou Jiayan for a walk in the mall to digest the food before going home.

The shopping mall is even busier at night than during the day, full of men and women who come to eat after get off work.

Shen Qingqing is extremely beautiful, and she still attracts many romantic characters even with a child around her.

And Shen Qingqing looked so young, maybe he was her younger brother? So along the way, several tall and handsome men came up to Shen Qingqing and asked for her WeChat.

This can be regarded as a symbol of her charm, and Shen Qingqing does not mind it. Of course, there is no need to add WeChat, after all, she is a married person, and it is a live broadcast.

However, before Shen Qingqing could find an excuse to refuse, Zhou Jiayan, who was following beside her, suddenly hugged Shen Qingqing's thighs, raised his head and shouted, "Mom! Let's go home quickly! Dad is still waiting for us at home!"

Then he turned his head and looked at the man who came to chat him up, "Uncle, you are not as tall or as handsome as my dad, there is no way my mom would like you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!

[Is this the little security guard of parental love? ]

[No wonder Mr. Zhou can go on business trips without worry. It turns out that he has placed such a little spy in Shen Qingqing! ]

[Hahaha, Yanyan always says Shen Qingqing is a bad mother, but now her possessiveness comes up.]

[I really think their mother-son relationship is not as cold as everyone thinks. If it were really cold, Yanyan would not stop other men from chatting her up.]

…

The person involved, Shen Qingqing, also laughed.

Normally, Zhou Jiayan would hardly call her mom unless it was necessary, but unexpectedly, she called her so vigorously at this moment.

Should I say that he is indeed Zhou Yexuan's good son? He helps Zhou Yexuan avoid any possibility of cheating on his "little wife".

After the man left as if he had seen a ghost, Shen Qingqing looked at the little girl, "Yanyan, you have grown up. I didn't expect you to be able to lie. Is your father home?"

Zhou Jiayan twirled his two index fingers around, looking guilty. He didn't know why he suddenly blurted out what he said and drove away the man who came to chat up his stepmother, but his instinct told him that he should do so.

"Well, Dad said he would call me tonight, so he might as well be waiting for us at home."

At the end he added, "Don't worry, I won't tell Dad that so many uncles asked you for your WeChat tonight."

Has this kid learned to threaten people?

Shen Qingqing had no intention of having an affair, but she felt unhappy no matter how she thought about it. So she stretched out her hands again and pinched Zhou Jiayan's chubby face a few times before letting him go.

Then the mother and son continued strolling. When they saw a shop selling Turkish ice cream, Shen Qingqing felt that she was hungry again.
