Chapter 22 So lucky wherever he goes
Jiang Ye didn't understand, but still said "Oh".
He doesn't have an agent, and he hasn't made any good friends in the two years he's been in the industry. When he encounters such interpersonal relationships and is unsure how to handle them, he goes to ask his fellow apprentice.
My junior brother is a kind person, and he always patiently analyzes and explains things to him.
As I walked out the door, I saw a cameraman carrying equipment following me.
Filming was quite a hassle. The taciturn guest he was in charge of suddenly became very popular, but he had very little footage. So he thought he would discuss with Jiang Ye about reshooting some material.
Upon hearing that he was going to thank Tu Chaoxi, the photographer's eyes lit up.
"How about I start a live stream?"
If she appears in the same frame as Tu Chaoxi, the buzz might even increase.
Jiang Ye gave a muffled "hmm".
...
Gu Feihong quickly scrolled through his phone, watching Lu Ping's past stage videos being dug up one by one, and seeing netizens listing her glorious moments.
His social media page is filled with the same old questions.
[You really don't know what operas your wife has sung?]
[Teacher Lu sings so well, how dare you belittle her in front of your son.]
You didn't say that on purpose, did you? It's chilling to think about...
One after another, they slapped his face.
Gu Feihong put down his phone, looked up at his silent wife across from him, and his son, who seemed to have gotten into trouble and was hiding behind his wife.
He took a deep breath and looked gently at Lu Ping: "Ping, tomorrow we..."
"I refuse."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Ping suddenly looked up, her voice trembling but with a hint of determination: "This time, I refuse to cooperate with you in this lovey-dovey act."
"Thirty years have passed, haven't you had enough of acting yet?"
Gu Feihong was speechless for a moment. After a long while, he smiled and said, "Aping, why do you say that? We've been married for thirty years and have never quarreled. How can we not be a loving couple? How can you say it's all an act?"
Lu Ping gave a bleak smile: "Does never arguing mean we're a loving couple?"
"Ping, if you're still upset, can you wait until things calm down before talking about it?"
Gu Feihong raised his hand, skillfully stopping her from confiding.
He continued, "Tomorrow we'll issue a joint statement together. You'll record a video with me saying that your skills did indeed decline in the past two years, but you've made progress under my guidance in the last two years."
“A traditional opera program will be launched soon. The production team has informed me that I will be one of the judges, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Ping, my reputation absolutely cannot be affected!”
Lu Ping lowered her head, her expression filled with unconcealed sorrow: "I said, I refuse."
Gu Feihong clenched her fists and continued in a gentle tone, "Aping, we are husband and wife, can you bear to see me face these insults?"
He handed over the phone: "Look, see how these netizens are insulting me, look..."
Lu Ping instinctively closed her eyes and gripped her wrist tightly.
Gu Jun couldn't help but lean over and say, "Dad, I want to see too."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Feihong's expression changed instantly, and she shoved him hard!
"Get out! It's all because you, you little beast, said the wrong thing!"
Gu Jun stumbled and fell to the ground.
He stared wide-eyed in horror, paused for a moment, and then burst into tears.
Lu Ping was also shocked and trembled all over. She quickly stepped between the two of them: "...Gu Feihong! Why are you blaming the child!"
Gu Feihong let out his first sigh of relief, but he couldn't hold back any longer. He paced back and forth anxiously, shouting with a sullen face, "Did I blame someone wrong?"
Did I say something wrong?
"If it weren't for this good son you gave birth to, would I be being cursed by so many people! My image is completely ruined! Let me tell you, if I fall from grace, you and your son will be left to starve!"
It was as if the mask that had been worn for half a lifetime had been torn off, revealing a fierce and evil core.
Lu Ping stared at him blankly.
Gu Jun was trembling with fear. He covered his ears and, taking advantage of their inattention, shakily got up and ran out!
...
On the other side, Tu Chaoxi glanced at her phone with a mocking look. Sure enough, this idiot messed up.
Turning my head, I saw Tu Yao slumped on the table, yawning repeatedly from exhaustion.
He clicked his tongue: "Hand out."
Tu Yao blinked, trying to refuse, but was immediately glared at.
Tu Chaoxi directly picked up her two hands and continued applying the medicine.
The redness and swelling from the daytime have mostly subsided, but there are still quite a few small cuts on my hands.
The new and the old were both an eyesore. When she touched them, she found two or three calluses. Tu Chaoxi was furious.
It must have been carried by cow dung!
"That brat has an inexhaustible amount of energy."
Tu Yao suddenly opened her eyes and glared at him dangerously: "What did you say!"
Tu Chaoxi said expressionlessly, "I'm talking about the well-behaved and adorable Tu Xiaomao and Xiaobao."
"Come with me after the show ends."
Tu Yao shook her head decisively: "No."
"Don't say no? You have no right to argue!"
Tu Chaoxi snorted. He would take her for a full body check-up when they got back. This place was poor and remote, and if she had any other strange symptoms, there wouldn't be time to treat them.
"You brat, I don't know what's wrong with your brain! You really can't remember anything? Has someone been abusing you?"
Given her sycophantic attitude back then, the Cheng family definitely wouldn't have treated her well during those years. Maybe her amnesia really is related to the Cheng family!
Tu Chaoxi's face was extremely ugly. If that were the case, even if he was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, he would still turn the Cheng family upside down!
"Just you wait, I'll deal with you when we get back!"
Tu Yao quickly covered her head and cried out, "I won't go! I want to stay here!"
Would she dare to go? If the examination revealed that there was nothing wrong with her brain at all, her cheap older brother, who was being so nice to her now, might just kill her on the spot!
Tu Chaoxi hissed and made a move to slap her on the head when Luo Meili and her husband came out.
The two people, carrying large and small bags, quietly approached.
Luo Meili glanced at the middle of the room and waved, "Xiao Mao, come here quickly!"
Tu Yao immediately got up and ran over to the couple.
Tu Chaoxi also subconsciously looked over.
Luo Meili put down a large floral package on the spot, quickly untied the knot, and unfolded it. On the top layer were several colorful floral dresses.
She shoved the clothes into Tu Yao's arms and said with a smile, "Aunt Luo picked these out for you. It's been half a year since you last went to town. You haven't worn new clothes in a long time, have you?"
Tu Chaoxi: ...
He now knew where that brat got all those incredibly tacky clothes.
He couldn't help but want to laugh, but seeing Tu Yao's instant surprise, he slowly suppressed his smile.
Luo Meili stuffed whatever she could get her hands on: "The candy was picked by your father, Ding. There are no pine nuts, but there are two pieces of chocolate. Eat without worry."
Tu Yao looked up: "Is there a big fat guy?"
"Yes, there are plenty. Don't worry, grab them."
Luo Meili continued to rummage through her hands: "I also asked Aunt Da Pang to pick out these two books for you. She said that high school students in the county are doing these kinds of problems now. See if you understand them. If you don't, after those people from the village leave, I'll take you to Aunt Da Pang's house and have her teach you."
"Although she is a primary school teacher, she can still teach some things."
Tu Yao frowned: "Aunt Luo, I don't want to study."
"Shut up!"
Luo Meili immediately frowned: "Didn't you see how that shrewd guy laughed at you yesterday? You have to keep studying!"
"Stop messing around with that cow dung! If I see you planting anything else, I'll beat you up!"
Seeing Tu Yao pout, she quickly stuffed a candy into her mouth: "Don't worry, we'll go to town and register your household at your grandpa Da Pang's place. I've asked around, the procedures are a bit complicated, but it's not impossible."
Tu Yao chewed it, and a cloyingly sweet taste of cheap chocolate filled her mouth.
She swallowed without changing her expression and hugged Luo Meili's arm.
"Okay, okay."
Luo Meili immediately beamed with joy: "Our little Mao is so good!"
Tu Chaoxi watched the scene unfold before her silently, without uttering a word.
Outside, Jiang Ye glanced at the paparazzi who was already covered in mosquito bites, "...Junior brother, may I go in now?"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, someone murmured, "...How come I'm so lucky wherever I go?"
Jiang Ye was taken aback: "Junior brother, what did you say?"
"It's nothing, go ahead."
Jiang Ye nodded, but just as he was about to go in, a terrified cry came from not far away.
"Wow, help! Help!!"
