Chapter 32 Chapter 32



Shen Linyan and Ao Liangjun went to a ranch in the suburbs. There were many dairy cows on the ranch, and many of them were raised freely on the grassland.

Herds of cows were eating grass in the pasture, with the big cows leading the little cows, creating a very lively scene.

Looking at the black and white cows, the little fat boy Ao Liangjun opened his eyes wide in surprise. He lay on the railing and didn't want to leave. He touched here and looked there. He wanted to feed grass to the cows, and made a fuss about feeding grass to the cows too.

Shen Linyan has never had any interest in animals. She came here just to complete the mission.

Seeing that Ao Liangjun had delayed the progress of the task so much because of his curiosity and playfulness, she felt very annoyed and wished she could just take the little fat boy away.

However, this naughty little fat boy is the son of actress Xie, and she cannot treat him so roughly. Moreover, this is inconsistent with the gentle and generous image she has always portrayed.

Xie Bing now has a high status in the circle. Although she has never made public the identity of her husband, Shen Linyan knows it.

Although Xie Bing's husband Ao Kun started from scratch, he is now one of the top rich people on the list. Although his foundation is not as deep as that of the wealthy families that have been passed down for generations, no one dares to underestimate him.

Ao Liangjun walked and stopped along the way, which had already wasted more than half an hour.

Shen Linyan took a deep breath, but it was not easy to scold Ao Liangjun, so she could only force a smile and said gently, "We don't have much time now. If we delay any longer, we will still be at the ranch when your friends go back. If you don't care about the task, then Auntie will play with you here, and you don't have to rush home. Junjun, what do you think?"

The little fat boy bit his finger, looked at the cows on the side of the road, then looked at Shen Linyan, obviously very conflicted.

After about half a minute, the little fat boy decided, "Auntie, you are right. The mission is the most important. I don't want to play anymore. I will go with you to do the mission. I want to go home early."

Finally, this little fat boy was not hopeless. Shen Linyan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said again, "Okay, you have to follow me closely. It's a bit late now, so we need to speed up."

So the two of them held hands again and went towards the milking room. This time, Ao Liangjun was focused on his mission and was not attracted by the small animals, flowers and plants on the road.

However, when they arrived at the milking room at the mission point, Ao Liangjun was attracted by the little cow next to the big cow. Especially when he saw the little cow drinking milk, his eyes immediately turned red and he cried to Shen Linyan, "If we squeeze out all the milk, what will the little cow drink? Otherwise, let's not milk anymore."

Shen Linyan didn't expect to encounter such a thing even in the mission room. She almost vomited blood.

Why is this little fat kid so troublesome? She doesn’t understand why these children are so inexplicably kind. They love animals so much, and they don’t eat less meat or drink less milk.

After a long while, she forced herself to smile, "Don't worry, Junjun, we can't squeeze out all the milk from the cow. Now that you're here, don't you really want to try milking?"

The little fat boy shook his head and said, "But I feel that the mother cow is in some pain, and I have seen cows kicking people on TV. I am a little scared. I don't want to milk anymore."

Shen Linyan looked at the short and fat guy standing there. She felt that if it was her son, she would have beaten him up long ago.

But now she still had to coax him. She took a deep breath and said, "But Junjun is a brave man. Don't you really want to try? Other children are completing their tasks on their own, and you have completed the experience, which will be a reward in your life."

She thought that saying this would arouse Ao Liangjun's competitive spirit, just like when she faced Liang Tianyi before.

However, Ao Liangjun did not follow the usual path. He was a somewhat willful child. He shook his head and said, "I still don't want to. Anyway, they are not here now. Auntie, if you don't say it, they won't know. As long as you don't say it and I don't say it, they won't know that I am not a little man."

[Hahaha, the little fat guy is very open-minded, since no one else is around.]

[Little Fatty, don’t you remember that there is a live broadcast now? People all over the country know that you are scared. ]

[I think Ao Liangjun is really a bit spoiled. He is here to complete a mission, how can he give up just because he is afraid? ]

[She is just a child, it is normal for her to be afraid of such a big cow. ]

Shen Linyan didn't expect Ao Liangjun to react like this. Wasn't this little fat boy always very competitive? In the past, as long as she coaxed her stepson like this, he would do it even if he was afraid or didn't like it. However, she didn't expect that this trick would hit a wall with Ao Liangjun.

Shen Linyan is essentially a very paranoid and stubborn person, otherwise she wouldn't force herself to be perfect in everything.

How could she tolerate Ao Liangjun saying that he would not complete the task when the final push was needed? Moreover, in her opinion, Ao Liangjun's so-called fear was just an excuse for him not wanting to work. Just now when he was outside, he was still clamoring to touch the little cow.

She took a deep breath, her tone was still gentle, but her hands were not to be refused, "Junjun, be good, auntie will go with you to milk, okay? Don't be afraid."

As she said that, she hugged Ao Liangjun and held Ao Liangjun's hand, "Don't be afraid, you have Auntie with you." Then she carried Ao Liangjun to the milking cubicle.

However, the moment Ao Liangjun's little hand touched the cow's rutou, he burst into tears.

Now that it was just the final push, Shen Linyan would not retreat at this time. She actually forced Ao Liangjun's hand to squeeze out the milk.

She thought that at most she could coax Ao Liangjun down and talk some sense into him, and he would stop crying. Moreover, she felt that she was doing this for Ao Liangjun's own good, and even if she brought the matter to Xie Bing, she would probably understand.

Seeing this scene, the live broadcast room immediately exploded, and even those who had just criticized Ao Liangjun for being too spoiled couldn't stand it.

[Shen Linyan is over it. Ao Liangjun is so scared, but she still forces the child to complete the task. ]

[Although Ao Liangjun is a little naughty, he is only 6 years old after all. ]

[This is the first time I've seen Junjun cry like this. Shen Linyan is so cruel.]

[I also think this is too much. I used to think Shen Linyan was strict, but today she is a little scary.]

[Is it possible that Xiao Yi was forced to do this and that by her in the past, which led to his inability to refuse?]

Fortunately, their buckets were not big, and soon one bucket was filled. Then she let go of the little fat boy, took out the small bucket full of milk and put it aside.

When Ao Liangjun saw that he was finally released, he immediately jumped to a position three meters away from Shen Linyan.

Shen Linyan was very disdainful when she saw this. This child was really about to be spoiled by Xie Bing and the others. However, she still had a gentle look on her face. "Junjun is fine. Now the mission is completed. Don't you think it's nothing? Don't you feel a sense of accomplishment after doing all this?"

However, what answered Shen Linyan was Ao Liangjun's increasingly loud crying.

Seeing this, Shen Linyan was stunned for a moment. Nothing happened, so why did Ao Liangjun cry like this?

Shen Linyan didn’t understand, but many viewers in the live broadcast room understood this feeling very well.

[Oh my god, I know this feeling all too well. When I was a kid, my dad forced me to take care of a puppy. I said I was afraid, but he didn’t believe me. He said other kids weren’t afraid. Then he forced me to touch it. I cried the whole day and became even more afraid of dogs afterwards.]

[Shen Linyan is really like some self-righteous parents now. She says that she is doing it for the good of the children, but in fact she does not take the children's feelings seriously and only wants to satisfy herself.]

[I understand why Liang Tianyi developed such a repressive personality. With such a stepmother, it is hard not to be pua.]

[I said earlier that there were problems with Shen Linyan's education, but some people insisted that it was an over-interpretation. Now it seems that Shen Linyan has a lot of problems.]

[Xiao Yi is so pitiful. It’s not that he doesn’t know how to refuse. It’s that he has known that refusing has been useless for a long time, so he just doesn’t refuse.]

There were always marketing trolls stationed in Shen Linyan's live broadcast room to observe the wind direction. They immediately panicked. How could it turn out like this? Wasn't Shen Linyan very smart before? Why did she suddenly do such a stupid thing?

However, they still remembered their responsibilities and had to bite the bullet and start cleaning the floor, with the main idea being that it was all for the good of the children.

[Shen Linyan's actions may be a bit extreme, but she has no bad intentions, so there is no need to be like this.]

[Don't be too harsh. Shen Linyan is also doing this for the good of the child.]

[Yes, there are no perfect parents. Please be more tolerant.]

However, their whitewashing rhetoric was quickly refuted by real netizens.

[Let's see the result, okay? Who knows what Shen Linyan is thinking. ]

[Now it was she who forced the child to do something he was afraid of, causing Ao Liangjun to cry like this. ]

[Can the cleaner go in and coax Ao Liangjun into submission and heal his trauma? Then I will trust you.]

[Forcing children to do unnecessary and unpleasant things is good for children? 】

At this time, the program staff who were following the filming also discovered that Ao Liangjun was crying non-stop, and it was Shen Linyan, who was considered the most qualified mother in everyone's eyes, who caused him to cry.

They were also a little dumbfounded. How could it suddenly become like this?

They couldn't just watch the child cry, so a relatively kind-looking uncle stepped forward and said, "Let us take care of Junjun first. It's not a good idea to stay at the ranch all the time. Let's go back first."

As the uncle spoke, he stretched out his hand to Ao Liangjun. Seeing this, Ao Liangjun immediately ran into the uncle's arms, hugged the uncle's neck tightly, looking very scared and dared not face Shen Linyan again.

Shen Linyan's scalp was numb from Ao Liangjun's crying, and her usually bright mind was a little stuck for a moment. She saw that she couldn't coax Ao Liangjun for a while, so she could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay, let's go back first."

Around four or five in the afternoon, all the guests except Shen Linyan's group returned to Zhuangyuan Mansion. Although they finished the task at different times and the quality of the ingredients they obtained varied, they were all in a good mood.

Only Mo Man's smile froze when she saw her daughter holding a big rooster with bright feathers.

Xie Bing looked at Mo Man's indescribable expression and laughed, "Your daughter has to raise it herself. It's none of my business."

Mo Man: ...

Shen Qingqing returned to the Zhuangyuan Mansion before Zhou Jiayan, but after waiting for about ten minutes, Zhou Jiayan also came back with Cui Xia with a red face.

He was holding a small bucket with two fish in it. There was slight sweat on his forehead, but his face was rosy and there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes. He was obviously very happy.

Seeing Shen Qingqing had returned, Zhou Jiayan's eyes lit up, and he ran to Shen Qingqing with a small bucket in his hand. "Look, this is the fish I picked myself. It's very big and fresh. The captain praised us for being lucky and said that today's harvest was particularly good."

Seeing the little brat's boastful look, Shen Qingqing patted his head and praised, "Yanyan is really amazing."

Zhou Jiayan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and his mother had to admit that he was very good. However, he was not happy for a few minutes before he heard Shen Qingqing say, "But I am better than you. Look at what's lying over there. They are much bigger than your two fish."

As she spoke, Shen Qingqing pointed to the vegetables piled over there, like a small mountain. What shocked Zhou Jiayan the most was that there was a lotus root on the ground that looked taller than him.

Zhou Jiayan was stunned for a moment, and after a while he stammered, "You are older than me now, so it's normal for you to be better than me. When I grow up, I will be better than you."

Shen Qingqing looked at Zhou Jiayan and felt amused. This little idiot actually believed it. How could the price of vegetables be compared with that of fish? If he used this IQ to do business in the future, he would lose all the money of the Zhou family sooner or later.

Of course Shen Qingqing would not explain, so let Zhou Jiayan continue to think that she was very powerful.

Everyone chatted for almost an hour, but there was still no sign of Shen Linyan and Ao Liangjun. Xie Bing, the mother, and Liang Tianyi, the child, were both a little worried for a moment.

As an adult, Xie Bing was able to hide his emotions, but Liang Tianyi's worry was clearly written on his face. He kept looking towards the door, watching to see if his mother had returned.

Zhou Jiayan was very careful and soon discovered Liang Tianyi's abnormality. He stretched out his little claws and shook Liang Tianyi's soft hand and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoyi. Aunt Lin Yan is very powerful. Nothing will happen."

Liang Tianyi knew in his heart that Shen Linyan was very powerful and seemed omnipotent in front of him. However, when he saw that Shen Linyan had not returned yet, he still couldn't help but worry.

Hearing his friend's concern, he nodded and said, "I know, I'm not worried, I just miss my mother a little."

Thinking of this, he lowered his head. It seemed that he had not been separated from Shen Linyan for so long.

Looking at Liang Tianyi like this, Zhou Jiayan couldn't help but secretly glance at his stepmother who was chatting with another mother. He seemed to understand Xiaoyi's feelings a little. After being away for most of the day, he seemed to miss his bad stepmother a little.

Just then, there was a sound of a child crying and footsteps coming from the door.

As a mother, Xie Bing immediately recognized that it was Ao Liangjun's crying voice. She stood up anxiously, walked to the door, and saw Ao Liangjun sobbing with a red face.

The fat boy had been crying for a long time, so his voice was not as loud as before, but his sobbing was even more heartbreaking.

Seeing this, Xie Bing immediately hugged him distressedly and asked, "Junjun, what happened? Are you hurt? If you are hurt, tell mom and I will take you to see a doctor."

How could Shen Linyan let Ao Liangjun speak first? She had already thought of her words along the way, making sure Xie Bing could not find fault with them.

Then she lowered her head and made a very aggrieved and self-blaming look, "Sister Xie Bing, this is all my fault. I took Junjun to milk the cows, but when it was time to milk, Junjun said he was scared. I thought at the time that this was the program team's mission after all, and I couldn't just run away from it, right?"

"And if I really deserted and came back, I thought Junjun would regret it and feel sad, so I thought I would accompany him to overcome it together, but I didn't expect Junjun to burst into tears and blame me."

[What does Shen Linyan mean by this? It seems that she is doing this for Junjun's own good. It's just that the child can't do it. ]

[You are such a naive person. How can you put all the blame on the children? 】

[Shen Linyan was apparently apologizing to Xie Bing, but in reality she was telling Xie Bing that her son was not capable.]

[To be honest, this is a really advanced rhetoric. It really understands the psychology of today's parents. They want their children to be better and more perfect, even if the process is painful.]

[How will actress Xie deal with this? She won't be brainwashed by Shen Linyan and blame Junjun instead. ]

After hearing what Shen Linyan said, Xie Bing was not satisfied.

Although Shen Linyan looked humble, his words were flawless and she really couldn't find any fault with him.

She did it for Junjun's own good, so she forced him to go to milk. It was Ao Liangjun himself who was fragile, so he cried like that.

However, this made Xie Bing even more angry. As long as the child was not hurt, she felt that it was okay for boys to fight and fall. But she could not accept that the person who made her son cry did not feel the slightest bit of guilt.

Is Shen Linyan sure that she won't make it public?

Xie Bing has always been a decent person, especially as her status has risen, there are very few idiots who would mess with her. However, when it comes to her children, she doesn't mind being a "shrew".

She reached out and patted Ao Liangjun on the back, then wiped Ao Liangjun's tear-stained face with a tissue, then turned to the staff and asked for the video of the incident to watch.

Then she looked at Shen Linyan and said in a serious tone, "Ms. Shen, I know you are very young and energetic. You have always been very strict in raising children, so you have raised Xiaoyi to be very good."

"It's just that every child's situation is different. For example, Junjun, I know his talent is not as good as many other children. And because his father and I don't have time to take care of him, he is more naughty than other children. In the eyes of many people, he is not an outstanding child. But in my opinion, his father and I can provide the best living conditions for Junjun. It would be best if he can succeed. If not, we can still support him."

"As long as he doesn't learn bad things, life is only a few decades long, and Junjun should live happily. So, Miss Shen, why do you force him to do something he doesn't like under the banner of doing it for Junjun's own good without asking me?"

Xie Bing spoke this very seriously. Although many people have different opinions on whether education should be happy or strict, anyone who heard these words can feel Xie Bing's maternal love.

Shen Linyan was also suddenly stunned. She didn't expect Xie Bing to be serious with her! And what was she saying? As long as the child is happy, then Ao Liangjun doesn't have to study if he doesn't want to.

She didn't think that Xie Bing really wanted Ao Liangjun to grow up happily. Now she was saying these words just to tear her apart and vent her anger for her son.

However, she was used to many storms and soon came to her senses.

Regardless of whether Xie Bing's words were sincere or false, she had already offended Xie Bing. Since she couldn't please Xie Bing, she had to get the public to stand on her side.

Xie Bing has always been straightforward and bad-tempered. If she really scolds herself, generally speaking, it will make the audience sympathize with her.

At this time, she didn't know that the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room had caused a big uproar.

Thinking of this, she acted as if she was very wronged and innocent. "Sister Xie Bing, I know you are a little worried about the child crying like this, but I really did this because I wanted Junjun to break through himself."

Xie Bing became even angrier when she saw Shen Linyan's innocent look. She used to think Shen Linyan was pretty good. Although she was young, she was a capable stepmother. She didn't expect that she had such a green tea personality.

Is this an accusation that she is being anxious about the child and is blaming her indiscriminately?

She thought again of the argument between Shen Linyan and Shen Qingqing and Liang Tianyi's excessive self-reflection. Her heart skipped a beat. This Shen Linyan must have been pretending to be a good person. Maybe she was deliberately suppressing Liang Tianyi.

Xie Bing has always been a straightforward person. In his early years, he was framed by the white lotus in the circle. He knew that if he really got angry, it would be hard to say what the netizens would think. After all, Shen Linyan did not do much wrong on the surface.

Xie Bing just felt like there was a lot of frustration stuck in his heart, and he couldn't vent it.

Shen Qingqing also saw their quarrel and was speechless about Shen Linyan's behavior. Why did she always use this trick? Could she win other people's sympathy by pretending to be innocent and pitiful?

Doesn't she know that her current naive attitude is outdated, and that after these incidents, the online propaganda about her is almost gone?

Although the garbage system is useless, it is still very qualified as an information collector. After Ao Liangjun came back crying, the system reported to Shen Qingqing what had just happened and netizens' comments on Shen Linyan.

The system was gloating. "Hahahaha, that's great. The netizens of this generation are not blind. They saw through Shen Linyan's white lotus tricks at a glance. Host, if you add fuel to the fire now, I think you can reveal Shen Linyan's true face."

Shen Qingqing found it a little funny when listening to what the system said. How could Shen Linyan's true face be revealed so easily?

But she really didn't mind adding fuel to the fire. After all, she still admired Xie Bing's open-mindedness.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing walked to Xie Bing and the others and looked at Shen Linyan. There were some things that Xie Bing was not easy to say, but it was much easier for her, an "outsider", to say them.

"Sister Lin Yan, there is something I want to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Shen Linyan had a bad feeling in her heart and wished she could just tell Shen Qingqing to shut up. However, how could she refuse Shen Qingqing in this situation? So she could only watch Shen Qingqing question her.

"You said you were doing this for Junjun's own good and you were afraid that he would regret it. So did you ask for his opinion beforehand? After all, it's him who decides whether he's happy or regretful, not you."

"And today, Xiaoyi followed me out on a mission. He was obviously afraid of water, but he still insisted on digging lotus roots, and his face turned pale. Of course, I have no right to control how you teach your children, but Xiaoyi has already been like this, I think I still need to remind you to pay attention to his physical and mental health."

Even though Shen Linyan was mentally prepared, she still didn't expect Shen Qingqing to mention Liang Tianyi. Isn't this Ao Liangjun's business?

However, as Liang Tianyi's good mother, she naturally cared about Liang Tianyi. She turned her head and looked at Liang Tianyi who was standing at the door and looking at her, and asked, "Xiaoyi, did something happen when you were doing the task?"

Liang Tianyi felt a little scared when he saw his stepmother like this. He remembered that once he failed to complete the course his mother asked him to complete. Although there was no corporal punishment, Shen Linyan kept repeating it in his ear no less than a hundred times and made him repeat it dozens of times.

He was a little scared. If he told his mother about his fear of water in the afternoon, would his mother take him swimming again to help him overcome his fear of water?

But he was not a child who would lie. When he heard Shen Linyan's question, he could only stammer, "Mom, I'm sorry, I want to go too, but I'm really a little scared."

When Shen Linyan saw Liang Tianyi's attitude and combined it with Shen Qingqing's words just now, she roughly guessed what had happened.

When it was time to dig lotus roots, Liang Tianyi revealed that he was afraid of water and did not dare to dig lotus roots. And Shen Qingqing's words implied that she liked to force children to do things they didn't like, so Liang Tianyi forced himself to go into the water to dig lotus roots, but he failed in the end.

She felt annoyed. She knew that forcing a child was not good, but this could be said to be for the child's growth.

If only one thing was exposed now, she would be confident that she could clear herself, but now two things have been added together...

She can pass the blame to Ao Liangjun. After all, she is not afraid of Xie Bing. If the incident really gets to the public, she is confident that she can turn the situation around through public relations. She is sure that many strict parents will agree with her.

However, Liang Tianyi is different. Her status in the Liang family is closely related to Liang Tianyi, and her image as a good mother in the entertainment industry is also closely related to Liang Tianyi.

No, she had to make Liang Tianyi say that he was willing, so that she could act conveniently afterwards.

She walked up to Liang Tianyi, stretched out her hand and held Liang Tianyi's shoulder, with a gentle look on her face, but the strength in her hand was not light, "Xiaoyi, tell mom whether you want to break through yourself or just want to complete the task because of mom's instructions? If you really don't like it, why would I force you?"

Liang Tianyi looked at Shen Linyan like this, and always felt a little scary, but he quickly suppressed this thought. How could it be scary when his mother was so gentle to him? It must be his illusion!

Then he remembered Shen Qingqing's words, can you just not do something if you don't want to do it?

And just now, his mother also said that she would not force herself. Could he express his inner feelings? His mother is so gentle, she should understand him.

Thinking of this, Liang Tianyi looked at Shen Linyan with his black and white eyes, "Mom, I'm afraid of water. I don't want to go into the water or swim anymore. Is that okay?"

Shen Linyan was stunned on the spot. She knew what this sentence meant better than anyone else.
