Chapter 3

Nan Tao smiled and said, "Does my light blue gemstone necklace look good?"

Jiang Qian was stunned for a moment, completely confused, "What did you say? What gemstone necklace?"

Nan Tao sneered: "That necklace is worth 1.3 million. I bought it at the Tianqiao Charity Gala. Are you sure you don't remember it?"

Jiang Qian then remembered that she had taken a jewel necklace from Nan Tao's cloakroom, and a guilty look flashed across her face.

If Nan Tao hadn't suddenly brought this up, I would have completely forgotten about stealing the jewelry. Who allowed Nan Tao to have so many jewelry? The entire cloakroom is filled with jewels and gems. I only secretly took one piece, not a lot. Who would be able to tell? Maybe Nan Tao lost it herself.

Moreover, I repeatedly checked to make sure there was no camera in the cloakroom before I stole it. Could it be that Nan Tao convicted me just because I entered her cloakroom? Nowadays, the law is all about evidence.

What's more, Jiang Qian didn't think that Nan Tao would be hurt by losing a jewelry necklace. It was different for her. This jewelry necklace allowed her to live a life of luxury. The more she thought about it, the more pitiful and wronged she felt. She was obviously pregnant with the heir of the Yu family, but her life was so miserable.

Jiang Qian said confidently, "You are so rich, and you didn't lose much. Don't you have a lot of jewelry? It's just one missing, so why should you take it so seriously?"

Nan Tao laughed and said, "You really dare to say that."

Without wasting time talking to Jiang Qian, he asked Manager Lin to call the police and prepare evidence at the same time.

Jiang Qian wanted to deny it, but she couldn't refute it under the police's interrogation and the overwhelming evidence of the surveillance video. She cried and begged Nan Tao for mercy: "I know I was wrong. Can't you let me go for the sake of the Yu family's child in my belly? More than one million is not a lot of money for you."

When the police heard the gossip about the wealthy family, they looked at each other and felt sympathy for Nan Tao.

Nan Tao told the police to take Jiang Qian away and said, "I will not accept mediation."

The police said: "You have to be prepared. She is pregnant now. Even if she is sentenced, she will not be detained until she reaches the breastfeeding period. And if she can pay back the money, the final solution will be mediation."

After the police took everyone away, Nan Tao lay down on the sofa to rest comfortably, pressing her temples with her slender fingers.

If Jiang Qian is the heroine, then someone will definitely pick her up. If no one picks her up, then it proves that she is not.

The rest will depend on what happens next.

Yu Ze, who was sitting quietly on the side, put down his phone, walked behind Nan Tao's sofa, stretched out his little hand and pressed Nan Tao's shoulders, "Mommy, let me give you a shoulder massage."

Nan Tao smiled with relief. Her son had been independent and sensible since he was young. He showed high intelligence at a young age. Although his personality was as cold and apathetic as his father with low EQ, his merits outweighed his flaws, not to mention that he was filial.

She doesn't ask for much, she just hopes that her family will be safe and sound, this is the bottom line.

Yu Ze clenched his small hands into fists and tapped Nan Tao's left shoulder, then his right shoulder, occasionally changing his technique to knead the neck muscles.

While enjoying the caring service of her son, Nan Tao was wondering whether she should tell her son the truth. But what if the truth came out and it would be bad for her son? She didn't dare to take the risk.

After an unknown amount of time, Nan Tao fell asleep.

Yu Ze stopped what he was doing, bent down, picked up the blanket on the sofa on his right, and gently covered Nan Tao with it.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a phone ringing interrupted the silence of the living room. Nan Tao opened her eyes in confusion and was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was her cell phone ringing.

The caller ID showed it was his agent, Lin Hong.

Nan Tao picked up the phone, "Hello?"

"Taozi, the third season of "Mom and Baby Travel" is about to start filming. The director is looking for guests recently, and there is only one group left. Do you want to bring your son to participate?"

Nan Tao has some knowledge of this popular variety show.

This baby variety show did not make much splash when it aired in the first season and was not very popular. In the second season, the program team boldly adopted a novel live interactive method. Relying on the hilarious interactions and battles of wits and courage between adults and cubs, it quickly became popular on major platforms.

The program production team immediately launched the third season to build on its success. Before the show even aired, the guest lineup for the third season had already become a hot topic on the Internet, which continued to bring in a lot of traffic to the show.

Nan Tao thought of the nightmare in which the popular heroine rose to the top of the entertainment industry and used her huge fan base to suppress cyberbullying against her. She was about to say no but swallowed it back and said hesitantly, "Let me think about it."

Lin Hong knew Nan Tao's identity and family background. After all, the chairman of the group to which her agency belonged was Nan Tao's grandfather. Miss Nan was only in the entertainment industry for fun. But she still advised, "This is a rare opportunity. This variety show is currently the top in the country, with high traffic and attention, and the director is not a troublemaker. Didn't you say before that your son is very cool and can't get along with people of the same age? You can use this opportunity to let Xiaoze play with them more."

Nan Tao: "I'll give you a reply tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Nan Tao stood up from the sofa and asked housekeeper Lin. She learned that Yu Ze went upstairs to read, so she also went upstairs to her bedroom.

Nan Tao was lying on the soft Simmons bed playing with her cell phone when she suddenly heard her son's voice.

[Everyone, are you sure that Mommy is looking for a young man to get a divorce? Is she locked up in a dark room by Daddy? Daddy is too much. How could he hurt Mommy? 】

[You said someone took away our family's luck? ]

[Teacher, what can I do to change the fate of my family? ]

[Can I just collect more melons? ]

【What is the use of eating melon value? 】

[Is that so? But I am still so young, how can I eat so many melons?]

[You mean…? ]

What do you mean she should find a young hunk? Is it okay to find a young hunk if she is divorced? Yu Zhengyang usually looks cool and abstinent. She has slept with him for seven years, but she didn't expect him to be so stuffy. He locked her up in a small dark room?!

Nan Tao rested her chin on her palm, thinking and lost in speculation.

Is it possible that after the popular heroine absorbed her luck, she became hysterical and vicious, and finally went to the scene in the nightmare? Even her final death by jumping off the building could be a fact of future development?

Thinking of this, Nan Tao shuddered all over. How could there be such a vicious person who sucked other people's luck and led them to tragedy!

According to her son's words, collecting melons and earning enough melon points can change the fate of the whole family, which means it can prevent the fortune from being taken away? Then can the fate of her vicious cannon fodder female supporting role also be changed?

Does eating melons mean reading other people's gossip? She is good at this. Isn't it easy to eat melons in the two big melon fields of the rich and the entertainment industry?

After a while, Nan Tao picked up her phone from the bed and sent a message to Lin Hong on WeChat.

Peaches Are Not Pumpkins: Are there many guests participating this time?

Lin Hong Gold Medal Agent: ???

Peaches are not pumpkins: Let’s just say, the entertainment industry will never lack melons no matter what it lacks.

Lin Hong, Gold Medal Agent: I heard there is a scandal, do you want to participate?

Peaches are not pumpkins: OK.

Gold Medal Agent Lin Hong: The filming will start in a week. I will go to your house tomorrow to discuss the specific contract and filming process.

Peaches are not pumpkins: OK

When it was time for dinner, Nan Tao took Yu Ze downstairs to eat.

Nan Tao said: "I'm going to take you to a variety show this summer. Are you happy?"

Yu Ze drank his soup in silence: "I have no opinion."

Nan Tao smiled secretly. Since her son wanted to collect melons to change the fate of the whole family, she, as a mother, naturally had to help.

After dinner, Nan Tao took Yu Ze for a walk in the back garden. The mother and son chatted warmly, but most of the time it was Nan Tao who did the talking and Yu Ze who listened.

Nan Tao could occasionally hear Ozawa's inner voice, but she estimated that it could no longer be heard beyond ten meters.

After Nan Tao got tired of walking, she sat down on a bench and looked at Yu Ze who was playing with the dog not far away, with a gentle smile on her lips.

But her smile didn't last long as she looked at the flashing caller ID on her phone screen.

The man said in a low voice: "Have you eaten?"

Nan Tao was very unhappy when she thought of his coldness and ruthlessness towards her in her nightmare. "You are too much. After all, I have been married to you for seven years and have a lovely son. Even if we don't talk about these, we have always been childhood sweethearts who grew up together. How could you treat me like this?!"

He became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and finally sobbed softly in grievance.

Yu Zhengyang: “???”

When I heard my wife crying, I panicked a little. No matter whether it was my fault or not, I admitted my mistake first.

"Honey, I was wrong."

Nan Tao's skilled attitude of admitting her mistakes made her angry words stuck in her throat. She groaned and said, "It's all your fault."

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. Be good and stop crying. Who bullied you?"

Nan Tao didn't want him to know that Jiang Qian came today, "No one."

This kind of conversation had happened countless times in high school, and Yu Zhengyang was used to it, so he didn't think too much about it, "I'll go home next week."

Nan Tao said, "I will be taking my son to participate in a variety show next week, which is the previously popular "Mom Takes the Baby to Travel", did you know?"

Yu Zhengyang frowned and sighed. He had been working overtime for several days and squeezed in time to go home to see his wife and children and take a bath. He would ask his assistant to cancel the flight tickets later. "Be careful. Call me immediately if anything happens."

A week later, the pilot episode of "Mom Takes the Baby on a Trip" was officially recorded for two days. The program team boldly adopted the live broadcast method, which was synchronized with the real-time screen. The program team also assured the majority of netizens that no matter what happened during the live broadcast, the live broadcast would not be turned off to ensure the original taste. Compared with the TV version edited later, it is more real and direct and difficult to establish a character.

In addition, four groups of guests will be broadcast live on the same screen. The audience can choose any group to enlarge the screen and can also interact with the pop-up screen in real time. The audience can choose vertical or horizontal screen.

A total of four groups of guests were invited this season, including the mother and son group of Golden Rooster Award winner Jiang Hui, the mother and daughter group of well-known talented young female director Zhou Mei, the mother and daughter group of popular young actress Wen Manqing, and the mother and son group of actress Nan Tao.

The program crew drove cars with official logos to four different locations, and the Doudou live broadcast room was opened at the same time.

In the live broadcast room, Jiang Hui and her son were the most popular, followed by Wen Manqing and her daughter, then Zhou Mei and her daughter, and Nan Tao and her son were at the end. The live broadcast barrage was sparse, and there were not even any comments from black fans. The attention level was pitifully low.

Occasionally, a few comments floated across Nan Tao's live broadcast room.

[Who is Nan Tao? Why haven’t I heard of this person? ]

[Can unknown actors now appear on this kids variety show? ]

[Why are the production crews moving more and more to the city center? The city center is full of luxury homes and old, dilapidated, and small houses.]

[Nan Tao doesn’t live in a mansion, does he?]

[How is that possible? Stop being ridiculous, the person above. Do you know what it means to be able to live in a mansion in a mirage?]

Just as the few netizens were arguing about whether Nan Tao lived in a luxury house or an old and dilapidated house, the program crew's car suddenly stopped opposite the nationally renowned luxury house Wanyuan Village.

The winner boasted in the live broadcast room that he had guessed correctly, and all of them filled the screen with comments mocking those who guessed that Nan Tao lived in a mansion.

[Do you see the four-story dilapidated house opposite Wanyuanzhuang? ]

[Oh, it's really shabby. Didn't you say she lives in a mansion? Does your face hurt? ]

[Do you think that everyone can afford to live in a luxury house in Haishi? ]

[I just checked Nan Tao's information. This "three-no" actor who has no works at all finally filmed a youth film. Guess what happened? It hasn't been approved yet, hahaha.]
