Chapter 107
Ever since the last Lotte Director Female Lead incident, Rong Ya's fame and reputation have both declined. She has received fewer announcements recently, and even her agents have started to give her a cold shoulder. Other people in the company always look at her with strangeness and contempt.
But the damn system didn't have any solution at all, and kept blaming me for not moving the mission forward. It even threatened that if I continued like this, other people's favorability towards me would continue to decline until it dropped completely.
Rongya was going crazy.
What a crappy system, it even causes loss of value. I have worked hard for a long time to build up the favorability of the people around me, and now it's gone in an instant. What's the point of all my previous efforts? They are all in vain.
In contrast, Nan Tao's fame has been rising all the way, and she has become a big hit thanks to "Mom Takes the Baby on a Travel". Especially tonight, she has been on four or five hot searches in a row, all related to Nan Tao. The most important thing is that these hot searches were not bought with money, but were pushed up by real fans and passers-by.
Rongya's eyes turned red with jealousy. Why did Nantao have such a good family background and good looks, and find a husband who was rich, handsome, and loved her? On the other hand, she had nothing, and even what she had was threatened by the system.
Rongya was unwilling and felt angry in her chest.
At this time, the favorability system, which had been offline for a long time, appeared again.
Favorability system: [Do you want to turn over? Do you want to crush Nan Tao and trample her under your feet? ]
Rong Ya sneered: "You finally showed up. If you didn't know, you would think I was bound to a fake system because I disappear every few days."
The favorability system ignored Rong Ya's weird tone and continued: [As long as you complete the task seriously, all you want will come true, even Yu Zhengyang will crawl at your feet.]
Rong Ya fantasized along with the system's words and couldn't help shaking with excitement. But she returned to reality in an instant, and the huge gap made her face distorted.
Why can Nan Tao live such a happy life when she has nothing and is even controlled by the system?
"You think I don't want to? You are a useless system that can't help me at all."
"I can't get close to Yu Zhengyang at all. Last time I finally met him in Country M, I was warned and ended up being laughed at by the entire internet."
The favorability system was not angry either, [Since we can't start with Yu Zhengyang, let's start with Nan Tao. You idiot, do you still need me to teach you? ]
Rongya's eyes lit up as she thought about this possibility, but she couldn't help but suspect that the system had bad intentions.
"Since you knew this was a good idea, why didn't you tell me before?"
Favorability system: [This is a very bad idea, if it is not necessary now. ]
Rong Ya sneered.
What a last resort, what a last resort, these are probably all excuses made by the system. It's obviously waste, and it probably didn't even think of it before.
Favorability system: [Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. I warn you, Nan Tao is smarter than you think. ]
Rong Ya was unhappy, "She is smarter than me. Haha, when I get her man, I'll see who is smarter."
Favorability system: [Yu Zhengyang is not in Haishi these days, you should hurry up to contact Nan Tao, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with him when he comes back. ]
When Rongya thought of Yu Zhengyang's protection and pampering of Nan Tao, she couldn't help feeling bitter and sad, but she felt more disgusted and jealous towards Nan Tao.

The next day, at noon, the sun in the sky shone brightly on the earth.
Although it is already the end of August and we are about to enter September, the sun is still very diligent. It has been out since around four in the morning. Now it is almost noon. The sun has been hanging in the sky for six or seven hours, slowly moving from the distant east to directly above people's heads.
Nan Tao stretched her body lazily.
The bright light shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto Nan Tao, like flying fireflies dancing happily on her snow-white skin. The mottled light and shadows fall on her face, giving her a hazy sense of saintliness, like a goddess descending from the sky. One can't help but admire her nobility, elegance and absolute beauty.
This kind of beauty is ostentatious and very aggressive, making people hold their breath for fear of disturbing the beauty.
Nan Tao walked to the balcony, raised her hands in front of her eyes and looked into the distance.
The lush green trees, the blooming flowers, the flying butterflies, the fish swimming in the pond, everything is so beautiful.
Nan Tao took a deep breath and felt the scent of nature. "I feel good today."
After a while, the cell phone rang. It was Lin Hong calling.
Lin Hong told Nan Tao that director Letian's crew would start filming in about a week, and the specific time would be announced later. She also told Nan Tao something else.
Nan Tao was surprised: "How did she contact you?"
Lin Hong: "I guess she asked her agent for it. Do you want to accept the invitation?"
Nan Tao: "It doesn't matter. I'm free these days anyway, so I want to see what she wants to do."
Lin Hong: "Okay, you should pay attention. The time is this afternoon. I will push the location to you later."
Nan Tao: "So urgent? I'm busy this afternoon. Can you reply for me tomorrow afternoon?"
When Rong Ya received the notice from Lin Hong, she was so angry that she smashed everything in the living room.
"Damn it, she's taking the bridge."
But what can I do? I have to rush to see her. If she doesn't agree, it will be difficult to have another chance in the future.
Thinking of the good days in the future, I can only swallow my anger for now.
In order to win a great victory in this encounter with Nan Tao, Rong Ya was extremely anxious. She did not sleep the whole night. She was excited and nervous, and waited anxiously until the next afternoon.
This time, Rongya's outfit was deliberately made to look younger, and the clothes she wore were exact replicas of her past. Although the passage of time has left traces on her face, due to regular cosmetic surgery and good maintenance, her face has been restored to about 80% of its original state overall.
Rongya was waiting anxiously in the café. There were still five minutes left before the agreed time and the Nantao man hadn't shown up yet. She felt frustrated, angry and worried.
Just when the emotions were piling up to the breaking point, Nan Tao was finally late for the rape at the last minute.
"Sorry, I hope I didn't keep you waiting for so long." Nan Tao raised her red lips, took off her sunglasses, revealing her clear and watery almond eyes.
Rongya's smile was distorted, and she forced herself to squeeze out the three words "it doesn't matter" from between her teeth.
Nan Tao casually placed the sunglasses on the table and said, "You chose a good corner, by the window, quiet and peaceful."
Rong Ya calmed down and put on a friendly smile, "It's rare to see you, what would you like to drink?"
Nan Tao ordered a cappuccino, looked at Rong Ya's outfit, and smiled meaningfully, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
The smile on Rong Ya's face froze again. She took a deep breath and changed the subject, "Nothing else. We are old classmates after all. I didn't expect so many years to pass by. Time flies so fast."
Nan Tao smiled faintly and said nothing.
Rongya was a little anxious. In her impression, Nantao was a spoiled and willful young lady, not very cunning. But why did she seem a little difficult to deal with now? She was not getting any sense after talking for so long?
Seeing that Nan Tao didn't respond, he had no choice but to continue, "Do you still remember our alma mater, Haishi Shanya High School?"
Nan Tao smiled and said nonchalantly, "Remember, this is a private school for the nobles in Hai City. I remember that you were able to get in because of your good grades and the school waived your tuition?"
Rongya nearly lost control and spilled her coffee. She could no longer maintain the smile on her face. She was gloomy and embarrassed for a moment, and the frustration and anger in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
Shan Ya High School is a famous aristocratic private high school in Hai City. The annual tuition alone is over 100,000, not to mention the expenses of food, clothing, and social activities. Her well-off family simply cannot afford to support herself to attend such an aristocratic private school.
If it weren't for cheating in the system, my grades would always be top-notch, otherwise I would have no chance at all.
Rongya's ordinary family background is her pain point, which she has been trying to avoid. But now Nantao talks about it lightly, as if she is a little clown who can't reach Nantao's level no matter how hard she tries.
Rong Ya clenched her teeth tightly, trying to restrain herself from losing control, but she couldn't help but provoke: "Of course I remember, at that time, the school was saying that Yu Zhengyang and I were a couple, but I didn't expect fate to play such a trick..."
Nan Tao's smile faded and she said nothing.
Rong Ya did not miss any of Nan Tao's expressions. Seeing her faint smile, she believed that she was irritated by her. She finally felt proud of herself and said with a happy smile, "Sorry, I suddenly recalled the good times in high school and forgot that you two are married now."
Nan Tao took the coffee handed to her by the waiter, took a sip, and said in a neutral tone, "Is that all?"
Rong Ya's smile froze, "Do you think that's all?"
Nan Tao was surprised and said lightly, "What else? It's just a rumor, not true. I asked my husband and he said he didn't know anything about it. Oh, and he doesn't even know who you are."
Rong Yaxin received 10,000 critical hits and was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe, as if she was a little idiot.
She had clearly known in Country M that Yu Zhengyang didn't know her, but when these words came out of Nan Tao's mouth, it sounded like disdain and superiority.
Rong Ya's face was pale, her hands hanging at her sides were clenched into her palms, her lips were trembling and she couldn't speak.
Don’t be anxious, just be patient. Even if Nan Tao is proud, she won’t be able to laugh later.
She just didn't believe that Nan Tao didn't care about that at all.
Nan Tao smiled, but looked worried. She said in an exaggerated way, "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Rong Ya tried to calm herself down and said, "It's okay, don't worry."
Nan Tao nodded, picked up the coffee cup on the table, and used the action of drinking coffee to hide the corners of her lips that couldn't help but rise.
After the failure, Rong Ya regrouped and spoke again: "Actually, I came to you to say sorry to you."
Nan Tao raised her eyebrows, "Oh?" She tilted her head and asked simply, "How have you done anything wrong to me?"
Rong Ya's throat choked and she took a deep breath, "I know you two are married. Yu Zhengyang said he didn't know me because he was afraid you would be angry. He kissed me when I was in the second year of high school..."
Nan Tao interrupted Rong Ya and asked with a half-smile, "Are you sure he kissed you?"
A hint of guilt flashed across Rongya's eyes, but she then calmed down.
Back then, it was a false impression created with the help of the system, which cost me several years of accumulated goodwill. Although it was painful, the fake effect was very realistic. Even Yu Zhengyang himself would not feel it was fake if he was present at the scene.
Thinking of this, Rong Ya's eyes drooped slightly, and the corners of her lips also drooped downwards, making a guilty expression, but her words were full of boasting, "I took the initiative to kiss him, and he didn't refuse. Because of this incident, you two are not getting along. I have always felt guilty and wanted to find a chance to explain it to you, but there has never been a suitable opportunity. Now that I can finally say it, I feel relieved."
Countless thoughts flashed through Nan Tao's mind, and her suspicion of Rong Ya deepened.
Zheng Yang told me that he went to Yu's house for something that day and was not in school at all. Although it was very strange, I believed Zheng Yang's words more.
At first, she suspected that Rong Ya had found someone to impersonate Zheng Yang's figure and voice. After all, she was too far away to see clearly at the time, and could only see his side profile from a distance. In addition, the voice was too similar, so she misunderstood in anger.
But now looking at Rongya's determined expression, it seems that she is not afraid of being suspected at all.
Nan Tao suddenly wanted to laugh. Rong Ya thought that this matter was a thorn in her heart and would not take the initiative to mention it to Yu Zhengyang. As long as the two of them did not talk about it, the misunderstanding would exist forever and the truth would be sealed in the past with the passage of time.
What a pity... Rongya’s calculation was wrong.
He wants to sow discord from my side. It seems that he has repeatedly run into obstacles with Zheng Yang, and now he has no other choice but to come to me?
After understanding Rongya's situation and thoughts, Nan Tao curled her red lips and smiled happily. She put on her wedding ring with her slender fingers, "Rongya, do you know what this is?"
Rong Ya was mad with jealousy and forced a smile, "Your wedding rings?"
