Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 189 - 18: The Variety Show Control Group Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder (Part 18)
"Who could be inciting him from behind? Jiang Lai is my sister, she wouldn’t want to harm me, right?"
"If it’s not her, then who else? Are you dumb?"
Mo Wanwan fell silent, her voice tightening, sounding both sorrowful and incredulous.
"It can’t be... Although Jiang Lai doesn’t like me, she wouldn’t go so far as to harm Hengheng just to get at me, right...? Hengheng is so well-behaved and sensible; how could anyone be so heartless to harm him?"
"Jiang Lai... she’s getting more and more out of hand. It seems I was too soft on her before, giving her the energy to keep on causing trouble here."
Ling Han’s voice was cold.
"What are you planning to do? I don’t want you getting involved in these matters because of me. It’s nothing for us to suffer a little grievance, don’t take it so seriously, it’s just a show recording anyway."
"This show is a gift I gave to you; some people just don’t know how to appreciate it."
"Don’t go too far... Let her realize her mistake, that’s enough. Don’t actually harm her, promise me, okay?"
Ling Han’s voice turned helplessly soft again.
"How many times will it take for you to realize she’s rotten to the core? Silly girl, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. In the next few days, you should spend more time with Yangyang; Yangyang’s uncle has returned to the country, make a good impression on him."
At the mention of the word ’uncle’, Mo Wanwan’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten.
"Is it Zhou Yiqing, the CEO of Chuangxing Entertainment?"
"Yes, although he’s not very attentive to his nephew, after all, he is the child of his late brother. Sending him to the show is to curb his unruly nature, but face must still be maintained."
"I see, I didn’t expect him to return to the country so early."
"I didn’t expect it either. I heard he’s been back for a while, but the main concern is still Hengheng. He’s a bit sensitive, so take extra care with him. My sister found out about him falling off the stage today; she’s a bit upset, though fortunately nothing major happened."
Hearing that Ling Yan had also seen today’s live broadcast, Mo Wanwan felt a pang of apprehension and cautiously asked.
"It’s natural for Sister Yan to be angry, did she say anything?"
"I’ve already explained things to my sister, she still has a good impression of you."
Mo Wanwan was slightly relieved.
The current head of the Ling Family is Ling Yan. Only by being accepted by Ling Yan can she openly be with Ling Han. And this time’s parent-child show, it was not easy for Ling Han to persuade Ling Yan to let their son experience life on the show. She, of course, wants to take this opportunity to gain goodwill from the Ling Family.
"You don’t need to worry so much, our family is not some feudal household, moreover, I have my own career now, enough to protect you well."
"I don’t need you to protect me, you always treat me like a child, I’m not the same as I was when I was small."
Ling Han smiled indulgently. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Yes, stick with it a little longer, I’ll come to see you when you’re almost done there."
"Keep a low profile, I don’t want everyone to know about us yet."
"Got it, as we agreed, we’ll go public when you win Best Actress."
Finally, Mo Wanwan hung up the phone sweetly and then entered the live room using a secondary account to check the popularity and comments in each live room. Unexpectedly, Jiang Lai was not only ranked first, but her popularity was significantly higher than Wanwan’s, who was second. Clicking into the comment section, it was overwhelmingly positive, with almost no negative comments.
Does the internet really have no memory? Have they forgotten what Jiang Lai did before?
On impulse, she logged into her secondary account and went to the program’s plaza, and saw that among the top ten posts, about four were about Jiang Lai. Apparently, she gained a lot of fans in these few short days of live recording, and they didn’t seem to be bought by the company.
With a heart full of unwillingness, she put down her phone. Anyway, Ling Han said he would help her, so she didn’t need to worry. Jiang Lai, a hypocrite, will eventually be exposed.
——
Early the next morning, Jiang Lai pulled a still very sleepy Yangyang out of bed.
"I’m so sleepy! I want to sleep!"
"What did you promise me?"
Jiang Lai’s face hardened, and Yangyang immediately recalled the promise he made yesterday. As the big hero and man he was, of course, he wouldn’t go back on his word, so he obediently got up.
The smell in the pigsty had already dissipated, and Jiang Lai had taken down the stage lights the night before and installed them in there, so now it was brightly lit inside. The two little piglets were chased into the grass nest outside to sleep. After breakfast, Jiang Lai conveniently cut some pig grass outside to feed the pigs, her actions so proficient that everyone thought she belonged in the village.
[Is there anything Jiang Lai doesn’t know?]
[At her age, she knows what pig grass is; even my mom doesn’t know]
[The little piglets are eating happily]
[Jiang Lai: Since I’m raising one, I might as well raise three]
[Why do I feel like she’s treating her son like a pig, too? Yangyang actually finished such a big bowl of noodles]
Of course, Yangyang was picky, wouldn’t eat this or that, but hunger was relentless. Ever since following Jiang Lai, he hadn’t had a bite of snacks, apart from three square meals; eating one extra would mean one less proper meal. After a few days of practice, Yangyang no longer complained about food and was so hungry at meal times he could lick the bowl clean without wasting anything.
Breakfast had to be finished within fifteen minutes; if time was up and he wasn’t full, Jiang Lai directly dumped the contents of the bowl to the pigs. Therefore, Yangyang was particularly focused when eating, kicking the pigs under the table with his feet while eating.
After breakfast, Yangyang took out a small backpack, which contained everything but study materials.
Fortunately, Jiang Lai had prepared notebooks and pens ahead of time.
After quickly giving him a few problems, Jiang Lai also sat down, taking out the tablet she borrowed from the program team.
"You do your homework, mommy will do some too."
"Do you have homework too?"
"Of course, now stop dawdling, we have to hurry, we only have an hour before we must meet Tangguo and the others."
Eight-thirty was the gathering time, so Jiang Lai had to use this period to tutor Yangyang.
The camera focused on the few math, Chinese, and English problems in front of Yangyang, all at the first-grade level, very simple and perfectly suited for Yangyang’s age.
[Wow, has Jiang Lai specifically studied early childhood education?]
[It’s really hard to find questions for kids. I’m an elementary school teacher, and I rack my brain every day]
[Did you guys really not know Jiang Lai graduated from a teacher training college?]
[Wow, didn’t see that coming, I thought she graduated from an art school]
[Same here, turns out I’m in the same major]
[Am I the only one curious about what Jiang Lai is writing? She looks so focused]
The camera didn’t aim at Jiang Lai, so everyone could only occasionally see her serious profile for a few seconds.
[But she’s already graduated, why is she still studying?]
[She’s acting over the top, also I think making children study on a show is just for appearances]
