Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 176 - 5: The Cannon Fodder Refuses to Be the Scapegoat in the Parenting Reality Show (Part 5)
[This kid is really a little terror!]
[My blood pressure is already rising]
[Why is Jiang Lai expressionless, could she be scared silly?]
[Pffft haha, for some reason I feel a bit sorry for Jiang Lai, what’s going on?]
[Hahaha, finally understood what it means when the wicked meet their match]
[Ahhhhh, he took the pig to bed!!]
The barrage was filled with screams, while Jiang Lai silently glanced at the piece of wood propped in the corner, then walked over, picked up a board, and patted it with her hand.
[Jiang Lai isn’t going to hit the kid, is she?]
[This unruly kid definitely deserves a spanking, but given it’s a show, she probably won’t, right?]
[Yangyang, run! The stepmom is coming!]
When Mo Wanwan walked in, she saw Jiang Lai seriously looking at the piece of wood in her hand and quickly put down the bowl to block Jiang Lai.
"Yangyang is still young, hitting him won’t work."
Seeing Mo Wanwan’s worried expression, Jiang Lai patted the board in her hand and said casually.
"Who said I was gonna hit him?"
"Intimidation doesn’t work either. Put the stick down first, that’s not how you communicate with kids."
"Then could you please talk to him here, I have other things to do."
After saying that, Jiang Lai looked at Yangyang playing with the pig on the bed, then turned without hesitation, picked up a stack of boards in the corner, and walked out.
Seeing Jiang Lai not planning on putting on a good show in front of the cameras, Mo Wanwan, feeling puzzled, looked up and saw the camera facing her.
Since Jiang Lai left, she couldn’t just leave too. Since she was already here, she definitely had to interact well with Yangyang.
After all, she had heard about Yangyang’s unusual background; he seemed to be the child of an investor.
Though the five children on the show all had backgrounds, the assistant director mentioned during a meal that she should take good care of Yangyang.
Since Jiang Lai gave her this opportunity, Mo Wanwan had to perform well.
She then turned around to the little boy who was playing wildly with the small pig on the bed, her expression stiffened.
"Yangyang? Yangyang, are you hungry? Auntie made noodles for you, have some before you play."
The little boy holding the pig sat at the edge of the bed, showing the soles of his pitch-black feet. Mo Wanwan, suppressing her urge to leave, continued to smile kindly and gently.
"Look at how you’re messing yourself up. How about putting the pig back first? Let’s have a meal first."
"What meal?"
"Noodles with egg, it’s delicious."
"I don’t eat eggs!"
"Kids who don’t like eating eggs can’t grow tall, you see how tall Hengheng is because he eats eggs every day. Do you want to grow as tall as Hengheng?"
Using a bit of reverse psychology, this usually worked with kids.
Mo Wanwan’s hand holding the bowl was already sore, assuming she’d calmed this unruly child, but the kid just snapped his head.
"He’s a pretty boy, I’m a real man! I won’t eat eggs, definitely not!"
Mo Wanwan really wanted to flip the bowl over this brat’s head.
If not for the cameras, she would have left already.
Now she was stuck, couldn’t walk away directly and didn’t know what to do, having tried everything to coax this brat, he then said:
"Why are you like our nanny, Auntie, are you here to be a nanny?"
"..."
Mo Wanwan was hardly keeping up her perfect smile.
[Brat’s really annoying!]
[Wanwan, don’t spoil him, the more a kid like this is indulged, the worse they get!]
[Jiang Lai is so cunning, leaving the mess for Wanwan while slacking off]
[Where did this brat come from? Didn’t the production team have any contingency plans?]
[So satisfying, always thought Mo Wanwan was fake]
Eventually, Mo Wanwan held the bowl in a standoff with him for nearly ten minutes, running out of options, she put down the bowl awkwardly and said.
"Yangyang, you play for a while, I’ll go see what your mom is up to."
[What’s she doing? Slacking off of course]
[Jiang Lai’s too much, getting paid while dumping childcare on someone else]
Just as Mo Wanwan was about to leave, Jiang Lai returned.
Seeing the unmovable bowl of noodles on the table, Yangyang still playing with the pig, and the barely concealed irritation on Mo Wanwan’s face, Jiang Lai smiled.
"How’s it going? Having fun communicating with the kid?"
Mo Wanwan didn’t want to stay a second longer, she gave a couple of perfunctory remarks before turning to leave, leaving Jiang Lai, the brat, and a pig to stare each other down.
Jiang Lai picked up the bowl, the brat immediately shouted.
"I don’t want noodles!! I want ice cream."
"Mm, you don’t want to eat, then don’t. Mommy will eat it for you."
Saying that, Jiang Lai picked up the chopsticks and started slurping the noodles; after a day of running around and not having a decent meal, and honestly, Mo Wanwan’s noodle cooking was pretty good — the broth was flavorful.
Jiang Lai gulped down the entire bowl of noodles in a few bites, not once looking at Yangyang, and after finishing, she rubbed her belly, still savoring it.
The brat stared at the empty bowl in Jiang Lai’s hand, he never expected Jiang Lai to actually eat all the food.
"I want noodles!! I want to eat too!!"
"You can eat crap, the noodles are gone."
Saying so, Jiang Lai turned and left, leaving the brat standing on the bed, holding the pig, at a loss.
[Hahahahaha]
[Your laughter is hurting my ears]
[Haha, this is the show’s highlight of the year!]
[The son’s playing with a pig, and mom’s eating eggs]
[Hahahaha, so satisfying, Jiang Lai really knows how to handle a brat]
[But really, she’s full, Yangyang didn’t get a bite]
[Hey you above, why don’t you try coaxing the brat to eat]
The cameraman waited a long while without Jiang Lai returning, having no choice but to go look for her, and by the pigsty heard a clattering sound.
As they peeked in, the scene before them stunned everyone.
[Is this still the same pigsty?]
[Where’d the bed in the pigsty come from?!]
[Rub your eyes, yep, Jiang Lai really made a bed]
In the pigsty, there was now a wooden bed, with blankets already laid on it. Besides the previous pigs meant to boost the show’s viewership, one was in Yangyang’s arms while the other was trembling outside the sty.
Without the pigs, a little cleaning of the corner here would make the smell much better. Jiang Lai had also collected some flowers from outside and arranged them in a corner, making the place like a proper room.
After tidying up, it was already late at night, so Jiang Lai lay down to sleep without caring there was still a son beside her.
The director’s team was speechless at this scene.
The house was originally designed not for human living, the assistant director’s plan was for Mo Wanwan to step up and invite Jiang Lai and her son to stay in the cottage, boosting Mo Wanwan’s profile.
Now, however, Mo Wanwan got scared off by the brat, and Jiang Lai decided to sleep in the pigsty.
