Chapter 187: Chapter 16: The Variety Show Control Group Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (Part 16)

Jiang Lai looked at him, then reached out and patted his head.

"You little brat, I’m your mom right now."

"You’re not my mom."

Yangyang turned around and mumbled something, then saw Hengheng waiting in the wings, wearing a white ballet costume and with his hair slicked back impeccably.

"Hmph, pretty boy."

Yangyang snorted, lifted his head proudly, and walked past him.

Jiang Lai knew why Yangyang didn’t like Hengheng, so she didn’t say anything.

Mo Wanwan took the initiative to say something.

"The performance was wonderful. Was this outfit prepared for you by the director’s team?"

A simple remark seemed to imply that Jiang Lai had already known about this event and had prepared the outfit in advance.

Jiang Lai smiled.

"Yeah, what can I do? The director likes to take care of me a bit more because we have a good relationship."

"You..."

"Go on stage, don’t be self-deprecating, but don’t take offense if I’m blunt. This ballet outfit makes your legs look a bit short, and your butt... flat."

With that said, Jiang Lai took Yangyang’s hand and turned to leave, leaving Mo Wanwan with a face full of anger and disbelief.

She couldn’t believe Jiang Lai would say such things. What right did she have to comment on her figure?

Did Jiang Lai not know what people online were saying about her?

Mo Wanwan clenched her fists, coldly staring at Jiang Lai. It wasn’t until the music started and Hengheng shook her arm that she came back to her senses, momentarily suppressing her hatred and calmly adjusting her smile and poise.

She had prepared for so long for today, no matter what, she had to show her best side to the audience and let Ling Han, who must be watching her from off-camera, see that she had never let down their affection and preference.

The melodious music started, and a beam of white light shone at the center of the stage in the darkness. Under the spotlight, Mo Wanwan stretched out her body and silently looked into the distance.

With the gentle music, Mo Wanwan began to dance gracefully. At the same time, the assistant director had staff moving among the crowd, reminding the villagers to keep quiet and enjoy the upcoming performance.

Initially, this had a significant effect; the villagers obediently did as they were told, even if they didn’t understand why, they instinctively followed the instructions of these wealthy people from the big city.

But the quiet only lasted a moment because Jiang Lai came over holding Yangyang’s hand, both still wearing stage makeup. Especially Jiang Lai, with her intricate special effects makeup making her look exactly like Sun Wukong, even with fine monkey hair on her hands.

When the villagers saw Jiang Lai sit down, they couldn’t help but excitedly push forward to get a closer look at the impressive and majestic Great Sage Equal to Heaven from the stage.

As for the children in the village, they were even more uncontrollable. Most of them didn’t know what Ultraman was, but that didn’t stop them from liking this mighty hero at first sight.

So when Yangyang sat down, all the children left their seats and crowded around him, chirping all kinds of questions.

The staff maintaining order saw this and quickly stepped forward. Seeing that Mo Wanwan had already started dancing on stage, the staff became more anxious and directly scolded a child loudly in front of the live broadcast camera.

[Is that okay? How can you bully children like that?]

[I completely understand, noisy kids can really make you lose patience] 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

[Is it wrong to expect the audience to be quiet while someone is performing on stage?]

[The villagers are here to relax; why weren’t there such strict rules when others performed earlier?]

[Performing ballet in front of these people is like casting pearls before swine]

[Some people really have a superiority complex, is it the villagers’ fault if they can’t understand ballet?]

[Can’t you see the kid’s about to cry? Kids are inherently hard to manage]

[Can’t Jiang Lai and Yangyang leave for a while?]

[Jiang Lai did it on purpose, right? How disgusting?]

The child stood frozen in place, bewildered, looking at the staff member, wanting to cry but not daring to. It was then that Yangyang stood in front of him.

"You can’t bully little kids!"

The staff member was at a loss. He was just following orders. Who asked Mo Wanwan to choose such an elegant dance? To present it well, they had to keep the uncultured villagers quiet.

Whether they could understand or not, they had to make them look attentive. That was the assistant director’s plan, and he had no choice.

Yangyang frowned and was about to argue with the staff when Jiang Lai, who had just sat down, quickly covered his mouth, then smiled sweetly and nodded at the staff.

"Sorry, we’re just too popular. I’ve settled the adults, let the kids stay here, I’ll try to keep them quiet."

The staff turned around to see the grandparents and uncles and aunts all seated, though not very focused, at least silent.

Forcibly removing the kids would probably cause them to cry, better let them sit quietly.

The staff gave Jiang Lai a grateful look.

"Thank you."

Jiang Lai smiled and continued watching Mo Wanwan on stage.

Clearly, she was also somewhat distracted. As the elegant swan, she should have been fully absorbed in the dance, but now her gaze kept drifting to the audience, and during a big leap, she almost stumbled and fell.

This mistake made Mo Wanwan even more unstable mentally, and the situation worsened with Hengheng joining in next.

Hengheng was obviously more distracted, and the dance steps taught by Mo Wanwan that afternoon were not familiar to him. He kept looking at Yangyang, surrounded by the kids, and got even more distracted. He couldn’t keep up with Mo Wanwan’s rhythm in the next big pair jump, his steps grew more chaotic, and the music became a jumble of noise in his ears. For a moment, he recalled the stern, disappointed looks of his parents.

When he looked up, Mo Wanwan’s eyes were exactly like his parents’, completely throwing him off his footing. During a leap meant for them to soar like the big and small swans, he should have jumped three times but took four; during the final leap, he actually went off the stage, his body uncontrollably falling!

Amidst the chaos, the live-stream audience couldn’t help but watch with bated breath. The problem was that where Hengheng fell was in a camera blind spot, so they couldn’t see what happened to him.

[Ahh—!!!]

[Why make a kid do such a big move on such a flimsy stage!]
