Chapter 37 Chapter 37



The pilot and first episode of the first season of "Almighty Mom" ​​were officially broadcast at 10 o'clock in the evening on the third day after Shen Qingqing and her friends returned to City A.

Their content in Zhuangyuan Town was edited into the first and second episodes, so tonight's broadcast is the first half of their content in Zhuangyuan.

Because of the extremely high ratings of the first season and a large number of fans, the show became popular before it was even aired, and many viewers were waiting by their TVs early on.

Although the Internet is extremely developed in this era, and the five groups of guests broadcast the entire event live, for many middle-aged and elderly viewers, television is their biggest way to obtain information.

Moreover, the live broadcast time is too long, and a lot of the content is inevitably boring. For many people who are only casual fans or ordinary viewers, they will naturally only choose to watch the programs officially broadcast on TV stations.

At ten o'clock sharp, a fruit TV station finally started broadcasting its official program after a dozen commercials.

First of all, there were interviews with five groups of guests. The first four groups of mothers and children’s impressions of each other were quite normal. It can be seen that they all love each other and have a high opinion of each other.

Even the most eccentric members of Xie Bing's group could see that Xie Bing wanted to discipline the little fat boy. Although the little fat boy was not familiar with Xie Bing because Xie Bing seldom went home, he still thought Xie Bing was very capable.

Until the fifth group of guests, their first shot was a child breaking down and crying, followed by two people sitting on the sofa interviewing each other and exposing each other's secrets.

——Beautiful, smart, but lazy and fickle, a real bear!

——Serious and hardworking, but silly and naive, a little fool!

[The two of them started to dislike each other in the middle of sex? ]

[Is Shen Qingqing giving up? Is she directly admitting that she has a bad relationship with her stepson? ]

However, as the program progressed, the audience gradually discovered that Shen Qingqing's group was the most interesting.

And the more they watched, the more they felt that Shen Qingqing and her stepson's relationship was not bad, but a different style. Shen Qingqing was more like a friend to Zhou Jiayan than a mother and son, so they could laugh at each other and make fun of each other.

Moreover, many parents born in the 1990s said, "Isn't this how I usually take care of my children? Aren't children born to be played with?"

After the pilot ended, the story began about their time in Zhuangyuan Town, and Shen Qingqing's performance was beyond many people's expectations.

Originally, they thought that a pampered wealthy lady like Shen Qingqing would be the one who was cheated the most by the program crew, but what they didn't expect was that as soon as Shen Qingqing entered the town, she took advantage of the program crew's loopholes and fought back against the program crew.

Later, during the competition, he won first place by analyzing his status as a judge.

The most important thing is the curly-haired little boy next to her, who is so cute and smart. After all, it is not something that ordinary children can do to occasionally defeat such a naughty stepmother.

On the surface, they still get along with each other and play jokes on each other, but no one can tell that their relationship is bad.

Seeing this, even the older audience began to think that Shen Qingqing seemed to get along well with her stepson?

Although she didn't teach her children to study hard like other mothers, it seemed that Zhou Jiayan was growing up well, and he was more lively and active when he was with Shen Qingqing than when he was with others.

The second season of "Mom" continues the warmth and high energy of the first season. Coupled with the solid foundation laid by the first season, the ratings have been far ahead since its launch, exceeding 2.

At the same time, it topped several trending searches and dominated major entertainment forums. It can be said that it was really popular.

Director Xu Xiang finally put his mind at ease when he looked at the ratings and popularity.

In the entertainment industry, most of the time, whether it is a drama or a variety show, the second season is rarely more popular than the first season. Although the popularity of the live broadcast of the program on the Internet has exceeded that of the first season, there are still cases where the online live broadcast ratings have failed.

The show became a huge hit, and naturally the popularity of each group of guests on the show also soared.

Of course, the most popular and discussed person is still Shen Qingqing. Even Shen Qingqing's Weibo fans have increased by millions, directly entering the ranks of tens of millions of fans.

Of course Shen Qingqing, who was too lazy to promote her business, only realized it belatedly after her agent told her. Seeing her own popularity, she sighed in her heart that she was indeed born to be a top star. She could successfully whitewash herself and gain countless fans by simply appearing on variety shows.

However, the popularity of the show was not good news for Shen Linyan, because she found that more netizens were attacking her.

Although the part of the show currently being broadcast has not yet reached the point where she has a meltdown, the audience can't help but go online.

New fans who watched the TV show became addicted and started watching the live broadcast replay. Some even watched the subsequent plot edited by major bloggers directly on Weibo, and then they also joined the army to crusade against her.

Even some of her performances in the content that is being broadcast now have begun to be over-interpreted by netizens, even though everyone was clearly praising her during the previous live broadcast.

This time, Shen Linyan really experienced what it feels like when netizens don't like you, even breathing and drinking water are wrong.

Yu Bin, the agent who was originally confident that he could suppress the incident, also became anxious and increased the number of his internet trolls to whitewash the incident. However, sometimes after suppressing the incident with great difficulty, netizens would immediately find new points, as if there was a hand controlling the incident from behind.

Seeing this, Shen Linyan knew that someone must be deliberately trying to mess with her, and the most likely and capable person was Shen Qingqing.

Thinking that she was about to be taken by Liang Hongyu to apologize to Shen Qingqing, Shen Linyan clenched her fists involuntarily, and her nails even left marks on her flesh.

A tea party for noble ladies is being held in a high-end club located in City A, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Several fashionable, luxuriously dressed and well-maintained ladies in their fifties were making pottery with the pottery teachers.

The lady in the middle was wearing a slim black cheongsam, her hair was tied up, and she was wearing a pearl necklace and earrings. She looked very noble and elegant.

At the same time, they were chatting idly.

At their age and status, apart from talking about bags and jewelry, what they talk about the most is their children and grandchildren, and the atmosphere is very happy.

A noblewoman in a rose-red cheongsam suddenly said, "Hey, I wonder if you guys have watched that variety show about raising children recently? What's it called? Oh, by the way, 'Almighty Mom'. The children in it are so cute, it really comforts my desire for grandchildren. You also know my son, he's 30 years old and still not married. He won't go on blind dates, let alone have grandchildren. It really worries me."

A noblewoman in a black gauze dress also chimed in, "I watched that variety show, too. It should be the most popular variety show right now. To be honest, I watched the first season as well, so I watched the premiere of the second season right after it aired. I originally thought that this kind of show would probably not be as good as the first season, but I didn't expect the second season to be even better."

Another woman in a blue dress also said, "I also think the second season is more interesting. The children's personalities are all different. And I think there is a group that is particularly interesting. The child and the mother hate each other and quarrel a lot, but it also makes people feel very warm. By the way, what's her name? Oh, Shen Qingqing!"

As soon as the name "Shen Qingqing" came out, another middle-aged lady called out, "Why does the name Shen Qingqing sound so familiar?"

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and said to the woman in black cheongsam standing in the middle, "Sister Pu, why do I remember that Shen Qingqing is your daughter-in-law? Then the stepson she brought is your grandson?"

The woman in the black cheongsam was Zhou Yexuan's mother, Pu Junya, and also Zhou Jiayan's grandmother. After hearing the conversation, she felt embarrassed. She really didn't know that Shen Qingqing brought Zhou Jiayan to the show.

She looked down on Shen Qingqing. It was not that she despised her family background, but Shen Qingqing herself made her feel that she was a little naive and silly. Such a person would be fine as a rich lady, but she was not suitable to be the future mistress of the Zhou family.

As the future mistress of the Zhou family, she still hopes that she can handle the responsibilities and assist her son in running the business.

But since her son has chosen Shen Qingqing, she will not be like the Queen Mother who beats the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. After all, not only is she annoying, she is also useless.

Zhou Yexuan has already grown up and no longer has to rely on the old couple to make his living.

Moreover, his son has a little burden, so families with similar financial status would not be willing to marry their daughter to him.

Therefore, although she was dissatisfied, she did not go out of her way to cause trouble for Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing was not good at pleasing her elders, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law only met during festivals and birthday celebrations throughout the year.

As for that little guy Zhou Jiayan, although he is the descendant of her daughter, he actually has the blood of that scumbag in his body. Even though she knows very well that her daughter's death was caused by the scumbag and has nothing to do with the child, she still cannot face Zhou Jiayan.

In order to avoid hurting Zhou Jiayan with her unintentional emotions, she could only stay away from Zhou Jiayan and have no contact with him.

At this moment, she showed an awkward smile on her face and explained, "I really don't know this. As you know, I have never been concerned about the affairs of the younger generation, and I have never paid attention to the entertainment industry."

Pu Junya was not lying. After her daughter's death, she rarely asked about Zhou Yexuan's affairs and devoted herself to charity to accumulate blessings for her daughter. Even when Shen Qingqing was blacklisted by the whole network, it was the servants at home who told her.

However, when she said this, others began to make many guesses.

Rumor has it that Zhou Yexuan married Shen Qingqing against all odds. The old couple of the Zhou family did not like this daughter-in-law, not to mention that Shen Qingqing was being blackened by the entire Internet. It is estimated that they disliked this daughter-in-law even more.

Of course, these were just everyone’s private speculation before, but now after hearing what Pu Junya said, it seems to make some sense.

After all, there is no such thing as a mother-in-law with a good relationship who doesn’t even know that her daughter-in-law and grandson are participating in a variety show.

However, now that the Zhou family is becoming more and more powerful, Pu Junya's status among them is becoming more and more transcendent. Naturally, no one would meddle in other people's business and gossip in front of Pu Junya.

After realizing that something was wrong, everyone started talking about all sorts of things and trying to laugh the matter off.

Pu Junya could naturally sense that they were trying to change the subject, but she remembered the name of the variety show. Perhaps she really should watch this nationally popular variety show and meet her daughter-in-law and grandson.

Shen Qingqing has long been indifferent to the matter of being famous, so after the variety show became popular, while other groups of guests were more or less working to maintain the popularity, she still stayed at home and lived a life like a lazy fish.

But she couldn't be lazy today because she was about to attend Zhou Yexuan's father's birthday party, so early in the morning, the housekeeper Aunt Chen notified the styling team to come to Zhou's house to try on costumes for Shen Qingqing and Zhou Jiayan.

Shen Qingqing felt a little tired because she didn't sleep until she woke up naturally, but surprisingly, Zhou Jia, who was usually energetic, also looked a little listless.

Seeing this, Shen Qingqing thought, could it be that the kid was really scared by the astronomical figure of 15 billion, so he is now working hard every night?

This won’t do! Children who don’t get enough sleep won’t grow tall. She doesn’t want Zhou Jiayan to grow up to be less than 1.8 meters tall.

So she said, "Yanyan, what have you been doing at night recently? Why are you so listless? Let me tell you, children must get enough sleep, otherwise you may not grow tall in the future. Do you secretly read books at night? How old are you? Why do you need to work so hard?"

However, Zhou Jiayan shook his head and said, "I didn't read. I slept well. But what can I do if I can't sleep?"

Zhou Jiayan felt that he was not really a fool. He soon realized that his father was fooling him. Although his stepmother cost more money, it was not that expensive to raise her. However, the child still worked harder and decided to read an extra hour every day.

He couldn't sleep last night because he was about to see his grandparents again. In his memory, his grandparents had never treated him harshly, they just ignored him. He was afraid that his grandparents would ignore him again.

When he was younger and not yet sensible, he also acted like a spoiled child in various ways, but his grandparents still looked at him with cold eyes.

Because his birthday party was approaching, Zhou Jiayan fell into this anxiety again. Last night, he even had a dream that his grandparents ignored him again, and he woke up in fright.

Seeing such a small child showing such a distressed look, Shen Qingqing was surprised and asked, "Then why can't you sleep? Shouldn't a kid like you fall asleep as soon as you lie down?"

Zhou Jiayan hesitated after hearing his stepmother's questions. He was not good at lying, but he was also a little conflicted about whether to tell his grandparents that they didn't like him.

Perhaps because he was indeed a little sad in his heart, and Zhou Jiayan found that his stepmother had not teased him much recently, so he thought about it and finally said, "The birthday party is coming soon, and I'm worried that my grandparents will ignore me."

Shen Qingqing suddenly realized that this was what the little brat was worried about.

For Shen Qingqing, no one can be perfect, and it is impossible for everyone to like her, so she no longer feels sad because others don’t like her.

And she searched her memory again, it seemed that Zhou Yexuan's parents didn't like her either. Could this be considered as sympathy?

Thinking of this, she looked at Zhou Jiayan and comforted him, "What a coincidence, your grandparents don't like me either. We can sit on the bench together then."

Most people would probably be speechless when hearing this kind of comfort. Is it glorious to be disliked by others?

However, opposite her was a child who was only five years old!

Zhou Jiayan's eyes lit up when he heard his stepmother's words. Wow, it turns out that grandparents don't like stepmother either? It seems that it's not just his problem!

If he was embarrassed on his birthday party, Zhou Jiayan felt that it wouldn't be so scary when he thought about being with his stepmother.

Seeing that Zhou Jiayan was successful and happy, Shen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. It was really not easy to save a stubborn child.

At this time, the clothing styling team also came to Zhou's house. The stylist was a man in his early thirties who dressed in a neutral style. His name was Kev, and it was obvious at first glance that he was a male.

Of course, there are many gays in the fashion circle, so Shen Qingqing, who has been used to all the ups and downs, is not surprised at all.

The stylist was very enthusiastic and said to Shen Qingqing, "Ah, Mrs. Zhou, it's been a long time since we last met. You are getting more and more beautiful. I recently watched the variety show you and Mr. Noble participated in. It was really good. You were recording the variety show outdoors, exposed to the wind and sun, but you didn't get tanned at all. Your skin is still so delicate. And Yanyan has now become the dream girl of our studio. When they heard that I was coming to the Zhou family for styling today, a bunch of girls rushed to come."

When Shen Qingqing heard the first half of the stylist's words, she thought that the stylist was really good at talking. But after hearing the second half, Shen Qingqing fell into deep thought. Was this mainly a compliment to Zhou Jiayan?

She turned her head to look at Zhou Jiayan not far away, and sure enough, she saw that the little brat was surrounded by a group of young ladies, who were taking pictures of him and asking him if he wanted to eat snacks. He was really "lucky".

It’s a pity that Zhou Jiayan is still a little kid who knows nothing. Being surrounded by so many young ladies, his face is full of impatience.

He even seized the opportunity to rush out of the "encirclement" and ran to sit next to Shen Qingqing, but his little mouth was still pouting, and he was obviously very helpless.

Why are women outside scarier than stepmothers? Stepmothers only tease him occasionally, but they won't pester him all the time.

When Shen Qingqing saw Zhou Jiayan like this, her mood suddenly became smooth again. She reached out and touched Zhou Jiayan's head, smiling and said, "Yanyan, why are you so ignorant of sympathy for women? The ladies like you."

The girls in the studio originally thought that Shen Qingqing would be angry because they "tortured" the child, but they didn't expect that Shen Qingqing was also a fellow sufferer. However, they then thought of Shen Qingqing's performance on the show, and it seemed that she was not acting.

The girls also said excitedly, "Yes, we all think you are cute, so we want to take pictures of you. And handsome boy, we will also choose clothes for you and style you later."

Shen Qingqing also laughed, "Then you must use 120% of your strength to dress up Yanyan, and make sure Yanyan is the most beautiful girl tomorrow night."

When the girls heard this, they said in unison, "Of course!"

As he said this, he looked at little Zhou Jiayan with a smile, as if he was ready to fight.

Of course, after the fun, it’s time to get down to business.

Although Shen Qingqing did not intend to please the old couple of the Zhou family, she still planned to dress up nicely. After all, she was now nominally half-mistress of the Zhou family and could not be outdone by others.

Moreover, she had a feeling that the night would be very lively. After all, her scumbag father, stepmother, and the Liang family would all be there, so she would naturally put on her "battle suit" and fight.

Kev had obviously worked with the original body many times, and asked, "This time we are going to meet Mr. and Mrs. Zhou. Do you still plan to dress elegantly as before or change your style?"

Although the original body would not try to please elders deliberately before, when meeting elders, she would still dress up to please them.

However, Shen Qingqing didn't plan to go for a simple and elegant style this time. With her strong complexion, she naturally wanted to go for a bright and colorful style. So she said to Kev, "Since it's Mr. Zhou's birthday party, I naturally have to wear something brighter, let's wear bright red."

Kev was surprised for a moment. Although she had a gorgeous appearance in the past, she never dressed too ostentatiously when attending events or banquets, probably to reduce her aggressiveness, and always went for a fairy-like style.

But he always felt that Shen Qingqing's looks should be matched with flaming red lips to highlight the advantages of her facial features. However, although he is a famous stylist, he cannot go against the client's wishes.

Therefore, when he heard Shen Qingqing's new request, his eyes lit up. Mrs. Zhou really understood.

He said happily, "Mrs. Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely make you the most dazzling one in the audience."

Shen Qingqing shook her head playfully, "I can definitely outshine everyone even if I'm wearing a sack."

Kev: This lady is so confident...

In the end, Kev picked out a slim-fitting red dress for Shen Qingqing. The style was not very complicated, but it outlined her perfect figure. There was a slit at the waist, revealing Shen Qingqing's slender waist that could be held in one hand.

Her hair was tied up high, revealing her slender neck. A ruby ​​necklace worth tens of millions hung around her neck, and she looked like a blooming rose.

Shen Qingqing was quite satisfied with her look in the mirror. This Kev had a good aesthetic, no worse than the stylists she had worked with in her previous life.

After finishing her own styling, Shen Qingqing turned around and looked at Zhou Jiayan not far away.

Different from her who enjoyed dressing herself up, little Zhou Jiayan had a wrinkled face at this time, and half of his clothes were taken off. In contrast, the young ladies beside him looked excited.

"Yanyan, do you think this little suit looks better?"

"Yanyan, why not add a small bow tie."

"I think we should change Yanyan's hairstyle and straighten his curly hair and comb it up, just like Malfoy in Harry Potter. It would be very cute."

Zhou Jiayan felt that this was one of the few difficult moments in his life. He actually loved beautiful things, but before that, he would only spend a few minutes picking through his own clothes and choosing the one he liked best to wear.

However, today, he had been dressed up like a doll for more than an hour and changed into more than a dozen sets of clothes, but these young ladies were still not satisfied and said they wanted to try something else.

But if they were not satisfied, why would they keep taking pictures of him with a smile on their faces? Zhou Jiayan thought they were just teasing him!

As a result, his little face became more and more gloomy.

Naturally, he also discovered that Shen Qingqing's styling was already done, which made him even more sad. His stepmother, as a girl, had already finished her styling, but his hadn't yet. He must have been fooled.

Shen Qingqing looked at Zhou Jiayan's depressed and painful expression, and she rarely felt some sympathy in her heart. Of course, the most important thing was that others were "playing" with her child.

Seeing that the styling was almost done, she said to everyone, "Okay, since the styling is almost done, thank you for your hard work today, you can go home. Of course, if Teacher Kev needs you to work overtime, it is not our responsibility."

Shen Qingqing thought she could save Zhou Jiayan from the fire, but she didn't expect a girl with short straight hair to say, "Yanyan's styling is not finished yet! I can work overtime for free to do his styling."

Then, the rest of the girls started to agree.

Shen Qingqing was full of questions. She had never expected that Zhou Jiayan was so popular! There were actually people willing to work overtime to dress him up for free!

When Zhou Jiayan saw his stepmother asking to save him, he thought he could be free, but he didn't expect that those young ladies were still unwilling to let him go.

He was overwhelmed with grief for a moment, and rushed to Shen Qingqing in half his clothes, shouting, "Mom, save me, save me, they are all monsters in the Spider Cave in Journey to the West!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room started laughing. It turned out that the children thought they were monsters!

Shen Qingqing hugged him tightly and comforted him with a smile, "Alright, alright, Zhou Tangseng, mom will protect you."

Of course, after laughing, the girls knew that Zhou Jiayan was really reluctant to do any more styling, so they gave up and left.

After everyone left, Shen Qingqing looked at Zhou Jiayan, who was in dishevel, and felt amused. He didn't look like he was posing, but really looked like Tang Monk entering the Spider Cave.

Especially since part of Zhou Jiayan's white and tender belly was still exposed, Shen Qingqing couldn't resist the urge in her heart. She stretched out her finger and poked his belly.

Children's skin is already fair, tender and plump, not to mention the lower abdomen. Shen Qingqing's finger was bounced back with a "duang".

She exclaimed, "Wow, Yanyan's belly is so elastic, just like Zhu Bajie in the TV."

Zhou Jiayan opened his eyes wide again after hearing this. Damn it! How could he be Zhu Bajie? He could only be Sun Wukong!

Sure enough, stepmother is the worst!
