When Fu Yun carried the child back to the old house, Wen Wen had already fallen asleep on her shoulder.
She placed Wen Wen on the bed and turned on the air conditioner. The temperature in the house quickly cooled down.
Fu Yun lay beside Wen Wen and covered herself with a blanket.
She was not sleepy at all. She took out her phone and could not help but check on the production team.
As she had not paid attention to it before, Fu Yun did not know who the guests were. She stayed in the flower garden all day and did not know about the news from the outside world in time.
At this moment, she deliberately paid attention to it and realized that there was news about the production team everywhere, whether it was on Weibo or the live broadcast forum.
The production team used the television station and the live broadcast platform in parallel. The live broadcast content of the day on the live broadcast platform would be uploaded three days later.
The television station edited two hours of video every week. The rhythm and content were richer, and with some behind-the-scenes dialogue, it made it more interesting.
Therefore, after the audience finished watching the live broadcast, they would watch the television station's program again.
Today's live broadcast content was not completely uploaded online, but some clips were edited by netizens and circulated online.
Fu Yun saw that there was no related news on the trending searches, so it might have been suppressed. However, she could still find some information by searching for keywords.
Especially when she saw the edited video, Fang Xue Ruo approached Wen Wen and was bitten by Wen Wen and pushed down. She was even angrier.
How could she not understand her son? He did not like people other than her to pinch his face. When others wanted to pinch his face, he would naturally reject them in a childish voice after speaking. Adults usually would not provoke children anymore.
Some netizens' malicious comments made her even angrier, and they even attacked her. Fu Yun knew that those were Fang Xue Ruo's fans.
However, there were also a considerable number of netizens who spoke up for them. Both sides were arguing fiercely, and they were not at a disadvantage at all.
Fu Yun looked at the netizens' IDs. Most of them were Si Yue's fans.
Fu Yun saw the clip of Si Yue arguing with Fang Xue Ruo, and her impression of Si Yue became even better.
She did not know why in this book world where everyone loved the female lead, there was Si Yue who did not care about the female lead at all. However, because of this, her impression of Si Yue became even better.
While Fu Yunruo was searching for information on the Internet, Xin Xu also returned from the production crew's lodging.
There were a lot of objections online about the accident that happened in the morning, especially about the immortals fighting.
In order to settle the matter peacefully, the production team sent out a notice to the guests to have a meeting to see how they could achieve a win-win situation. However, Si Yue did not appear until the meeting was over. Fang Xueruo was the same. She used the excuse that she was not feeling well and stayed in her room.
It was obvious that both parties' attitudes were firm. Fang Xueruo was humiliated and was even forced to apologize. How could Fang Xueruo's manager, Sister Wen, allow her own artist to suffer? . She wanted the production team to give her an explanation.
.. Si Yue did not want to appear, so he could only contact his manager. His manager's attitude was also very firm. In short, he felt that his artist did not do anything wrong. There was no way he would apologize. Si Yue could do whatever he wanted.
The production team was speechless. They knew that the two companies did not get along well, but they did not expect it to be to this extent.
There was a topic of discussion, but the production team could not control it.
Fang Xue's entertainment company and the capital behind it started to put pressure on the production team. Si Yue's company, Apple Entertainment, also put pressure on the production team.
The production team was in a difficult position, so they could only mediate.
They could not afford to offend Fang Xue's backer, and they could not afford to offend the entertainment giant, Apple Entertainment.
And the bigger crisis was whether their production team could continue filming or not. That was also a problem.
After they clashed with the locals, it was obvious that the villagers' enthusiasm for them had died down.
Especially in Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village. If Si Yue had not stood on the side of the villagers, they might have all been chased away.
Although remote areas were remote and many villagers were xenophobic, there was also an advantage. They were very united. Offending one person was equivalent to offending the entire village, or even several villages.
The production team's staff and permanent guests could not help but feel a little resentful. Why did Fang Xue provoke a child for no reason?
He was already an adult, but he was still arguing with a child? What did a three or four-year-old child know? Moreover, this child was quite cute …
Si Yue knew that he was a public figure and his every move was watched, but he still spoke without thinking …
The production team decided to ignore the two companies for now. They would wait until the fight was over and see which side would win. The most important thing now was to send the gifts as an apology.
The production team's staff quickly bought the things and sent gifts to each family. After receiving the villagers' promise that they would not pursue the matter, the matter was settled.
They gave Wen Wen the most gifts as an apology. Not only were there two cans of milk powder worth a few hundred yuan, but there was also a pile of toys and a big bag of candy and fruits.
These were all sent to the Mei family.
Xin Xu looked at the pile of gifts on the table and scratched the back of his head. Then he went upstairs and knocked on Si Yue's door.
Si Yue's handsome face was expressionless. He walked out and sat on the sofa in the living room.
"What's wrong?"
Xin Xu sat on the sofa on the right side of the wall and spoke to Si Yue.
"Brother Yue, your company will protect you, right?"
There was also a wooden sofa in the living room on the second floor and a glass coffee table in front of the sofa.
Ever since Si Yue and Xin Xu had moved to the second floor, there was always a clean cup and a pot of tea.
Si Yue poured two cups of tea and pushed one cup in front of Xin Xu.
He slowly picked up the cup and took two sips.
The tea was not expensive. It was just crudely stir-fried tea leaves, but it had its own unique flavor.
Xin Xu took a few sips absent-mindedly. He was personally biased towards Brother Yue. Furthermore, the child who had been bullied was a child that he liked very much.
However, he did not have much say in the production team. He saw that most of them were unhappy with Si Yue. Most of them were on Fang Xue's side, so he felt stifled.
In the past, he had liked Fang Xue very much. He felt that she was kind and beautiful. Her every frown and smile was likable. However, he now felt that Fang Xue was not as pure and kind as she seemed.
Xin Xu was really worried about Si Yue's situation. Although Si Yue was an S-lister, he did not put on airs at all. He treated him like a spring breeze and took care of him like a younger brother.
Si Yue's only disadvantage was that he did not have a strong background. Although he had Apple Entertainment, if the company did not protect him one day, he would be in danger.
Especially since Si Yue did not have his own studio. He was an artist under Apple Entertainment.
Si Yue glanced at him. Seeing that he was worried, he said confidently, "Don't worry. I'll be fine." Apple Entertainment would not dare not protect him.
Xin Xu looked at him enviously. Was this the confidence of a superstar?
If he offended someone, the company would probably give up on him after weighing the pros and cons. When would he be able to stand at such a high position?
"What did the production team say?" Si Yue asked.
He knew that they had been in a meeting for half a day, but he was not in the mood to listen. It was nothing more than how to control the public opinion and resolve this matter perfectly.
Xin Xu briefly explained the attitude of the production team. As for the attitude of the others, he was careful not to say anything. He did not want to sound like he was tattling behind their backs.
Si Yue nodded as he listened. His expression was still calm.
Xin Xu was affected by his attitude and felt less anxious.
Si Yue looked at the time and muttered to himself, "She should have slept enough. She should be awake by now, right?"
Adults usually took a light nap for 20 to 30 minutes. If they slept too much, they would feel dizzy and tired. Children would take a longer nap, perhaps one to two hours.
It had been two hours since the little girl went to sleep. She should be awake by now, right?
"Huh?" Xin Xu did not understand what Si Yue had said for a moment.
Si Yue asked, "How long do children usually take an afternoon nap?"
Xin Xu was unsure. "An hour? Two hours? "
Si Yue nodded and did not say anything. Then, he stood up and walked downstairs.
Xin Xu was confused and followed him downstairs.
Aunt Mei was doing housework in the yard. Si Yue greeted her and then asked very naturally, "Should I send these gifts from the production crew to Wen Wen's family?"
Aunt Mei nodded without hesitation. "Of course." She would not be greedy for Wen Wen's things. These were all things that Wen Wen deserved. She put down the dustpan in her hand and wiped her hands on her apron as she walked over.
"Wen Wen and Ruoruo should be awake by now. Let's send them over now."
Si Yue said, "Let me do it. These things are heavy."
"Yes, let us do the heavy work!" Xin Xu appeared from behind Si Yue. He patted his chest and promised. Then, he went to pick up the bags on the table.
Aunt Mei was happy to see the two young men so enthusiastic. "I'll leave it to you then."
Although what had happened today had affected her impression of the TV station's celebrities, she did not have any opinions about the two young men living in her house.
Xin Xu smiled. "Of course, of course."
Si Yue turned to look at Xin Xu's silly smile. She snorted in her heart and looked at him with disdain.
However, she did not say anything. She carried the other bags and prepared to leave.
Aunt Mei stood at the entrance of the courtyard and gave them directions. "Go straight down this road. Do you see that old house with high walls?"
Xin Xu followed beside Si Yue and could not help but ask, "Brother Yue, have you seen Wen Wen's mother?" Xin Xu thought that if she could give birth to such an exquisite and cute child like Wen Wen, she should be quite good-looking.
Si Yue did not say anything.
Xin Xu did not need to hear the answer, so he did not care.
The old house was very close to the Mei family's house. The two of them were tall and had long legs. They arrived in a short while.
Si Yue stood in front of the courtyard door. For the first time in his life, he felt a sense of trepidation as he approached home.
Xin Xu did not know about Si Yue's inner turmoil. Seeing that he did not knock, he stepped forward and knocked on the door. He even shouted inside, "Is anyone home?"
Fu Yun was playing with her son on the bed.
She was originally reading the news on the Internet on her phone. When she saw that she was sleepy, she closed her eyes.
Then, she was woken up by Wen Wen, who was full of energy after a good night's sleep.
Wen Wen's little face was red. When Fu Yun poked her waist, she twisted her little body and quickly turned over. She lay down and laughed happily.
When they heard a sound outside, the mother and son stopped.
Wen Wen pricked up her ears and listened to the sound. Then, she said to Fu Yun in a childish voice, "It's Uncle Xu."
Xin Xu? Fu Yun had just checked the news of the program and had an impression of the celebrity who was Si Yue's partner.
She hurriedly got out of bed and quickly tidied herself up. She tied up her messy hair again.
Then, she led Wen Wen, who had already slipped out of bed and put on her shoes, out to open the door.
Outside the door stood two men with different styles. "Mr. Yue." Then, they looked at Xin Xu. "Hello."
Fu Yun felt that calling him Mr. Si did not sound good, so she thought for a moment and called him Mr. Yue.
Seeing the big and small bags in their hands, she asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Si Yue simply said, "It's an apology from the program team."
Fu Yun did not want to accept it when she heard that it was from the program team. However, her own Wen Wen had suffered. If she did not accept it, she would be at a disadvantage. She only felt uncomfortable in her heart.
When Xin Xu saw the woman who came to open the door, his eyes lit up. The woman in front of him was like a lotus flower. Even if she was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and casual pants, it could not hide her beauty.
Xin Xu said warmly, "Hello, you're Wen Wen's sister, right? We're here to give the program team an apology. I'm really sorry that Wen Wen has suffered. "
Xin Xu spoke sincerely. Fu Yun did not want to throw a tantrum. She knew that it had nothing to do with them, so she did not hold any grudges. She stepped aside and invited them into the house.
"You're welcome. I'm Wen Wen's mother."
"Eh?" Xin Xu widened his eyes in surprise. "Really? I really can't believe it. You look like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old university student! "
Fu Yun could not help but laugh. Being praised for being young always made her feel good. Although she was indeed young, she had given birth early.
"Sister, I'll call you Sister. My name is Xin Xu. You can call me Little Xin Xin or Little Xu. I'm twenty-two years old this year!"
Si Yue's attention was originally on Wen Wen. However, when she saw Xin Xu and Fu Yun chatting happily, she felt a little strange.
This strange feeling might have stemmed from the fact that she was the mother of her son.
Si Yue could not help but cough lightly. When she saw Fu Yun looking over, she said calmly, "Take a look and see if you're satisfied with these things. If you're not, I'll get the program team to send more over."
Si Yue also took a look. When she saw that they were low-quality toys bought in bulk from a convenience store, she could not help but frown. She thought unhappily that the program team was too perfunctory. How could they give these things away?
Fu Yun did not have any expectations for these things. She only said politely, "It's okay. The program team is very considerate."
Wen Wen also came over to take a look. When she saw the toys that he had stopped playing with, she immediately looked away in disinterest.
He had a lot of such toys at the flowerbed and at his house here. He had already piled them up and stopped playing with them.
Fu Yun put away the milk powder and toys. She was prepared to give them to the children in the village as a favor. She took out the apples and grapes to wash and plate to serve the guests.
Xin Xu was very enthusiastic and fought to wash them. He even praised Fu Yun, "Your yard is so beautiful! Those flowers are so beautiful! I've been in the village for so long, and I like your yard the most. It's so poetic … "
"It's nothing. I just took care of it casually …"
Wen Wen squatted at the door. When she saw Xin Xu's strangely enthusiastic attitude towards his mother, she immediately sized him up.
Uncle Xu couldn't be thinking of wooing his mother, right? Wen Wen shook her head. Uncle Xu was younger than her mother. It was not suitable.
Her mother was suitable to be pampered, not pampered. It was enough for her mother to pamper him alone.
Then, she saw Si Yue squatting beside him. He still looked very tall. Wen Wen blinked and tilted her head. "Uncle Yue?" Why was she looking at him like that?
Si Yue was carefully sizing up Wen Wen's appearance. A son resembled his mother. Wen Wen's facial features were 70-80% similar to Fu Yun's. But after careful observation, he also looked a little like him.
His nose was as tall and straight as the Si family's. It was just that he was still young and looked round and cute, so it was not obvious. When he grew up, they would resemble each other.
Si Yue reached out and pinched the bulging baby fat on his face. It was soft, tender, and smooth. Then, his pair of peach blossom eyes that looked like Fu Yun's became even rounder.
Si Yue thought to himself. This brat actually didn't look like him. The men in the Si family basically looked like their fathers. His genes actually couldn't beat Fu Yun's?
Wen Wen covered his chubby face and glared at Si Yue for a long time. Then, he stood up and ran towards Fu Yun's legs with his short legs.
Fu Yun lowered her head. "What's wrong, baby?"
Wen Wen complained, "Mother, Uncle Yue pinched my face!"
Fu Yun immediately turned her head and said politely, "Mr. Yue, Wen Wen doesn't like people pinching his face."
Si Yue's expression froze for a moment. Then, he stood up calmly. "I saw some dust on Wen Wen's face, so I touched it …"
He paused and apologized sincerely. "Since Wen Wen doesn't like it, I'll be more careful next time."
Wen Wen's eyes widened. He obviously pinched his face! How could he lie?
Fu Yun was stunned for a moment. She looked at Wen Wen and then at Si Yue. She inexplicably saw the grievance in Si Yue's calm expression.
Perhaps Wen Wen had misunderstood. She knew it. How could the great Best Actor pinch a child's face on purpose? Hence, she said apologetically, "Sorry, I misunderstood."
Wen Wen held his chubby face and couldn't help but doubt himself. Could it be that Si Yue really didn't pinch him, but helped him wipe away the dust? So he only touched his face and he misunderstood?
The more Wen Wen thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Although his idol might have some bad taste, he definitely wouldn't lie!
He ran in front of Si Yue and looked up. He said guiltily to Si Yue, "I'm sorry, Uncle Yue. I misunderstood you."
Si Yue said in all seriousness, "Yes, it's alright." However, he was thinking in his heart that he was still so silly. He didn't inherit the shrewdness of the Si family at all.
Si Yue silently glanced at Fu Yun. This woman didn't inherit the good things, but instead, she inherited all the bad things. With such a silly personality, even a woman could bully him. How could he compete with those old foxes in the business world in the future?
He pondered about the heavy responsibility of educating his son. Perhaps he had to work harder to accumulate more family assets. Otherwise, the family assets wouldn't be enough for him to be cheated. No matter what, he had to ensure his son's wealth for the rest of his life.
As a newly appointed father, Si Yue expressed that he was very worried.
Fu Yun asked the two of them to eat fruits. Then, she tore the grape skin and fed Wen Wen the grape flesh.
Fu Yun saw that Wen Wen wasn't spitting out the seeds. "Don't always chew and swallow the seeds. Be careful that you don't grow grapes in your stomach."
Fu Yun didn't know where Wen Wen's habit came from. Would the grape seeds taste good if they were eaten together? She wasn't used to eating the seeds.
Si Yue, who was eating the grapes absent-mindedly without spitting out the seeds, was speechless.
Wen Wen said proudly, "No way! Grapes won't grow in my stomach! " These words could only deceive a three-year-old child. He was a four-year-old child. He wouldn't believe such childish words!
"Grape seeds don't taste good." If Wen Wen was an adult, Fu Yun wouldn't care if he spat out the seeds. However, he was still a child. His digestive system was more fragile. Fu Yun was worried that he wouldn't be able to digest it well.
"It's delicious!"
Fu Yun had no choice but to take the seeds and feed them to the grape flesh. Wen Wen shook his head unhappily. He ate with his small mouth and didn't forget to protest, "I want to eat the seeds!"
"No."
"Mommy, you're bad!"
Si Yue watched the mother and son bicker happily. He looked at Wen Wen and felt satisfied. Yes, she was like him in this aspect. She ate grapes without spitting out the seeds.
They chatted as they ate fruits. Everyone was more familiar with each other. They spoke more casually and their relationship instantly improved.
After eating the fruits, they played in the courtyard. The environment here was better and there was more space. Wen Wen couldn't sit still in the house.
His hand was injured. Fu Yun was worried about letting him go out to play, so she kept him in the courtyard.
Xin Xu and Wen Wen were watering the flowers at this time.
Wen Wen's hand was still bandaged. Hence, he instructed seriously in his childish voice. Xin Xu listened to his instructions and watered the flowers.
Fu Yun didn't stop them and let them play.
Fu Yun saw that the two of them didn't show any signs of leaving. She couldn't help but ask Si Yue, "Don't you have to film the show in the afternoon?"
"No, we'll continue tomorrow."
Today's storm hadn't been completely suppressed. Furthermore, if Fang Xue said that she wasn't feeling well and needed to rest, could they force her to continue filming?
Si Yue crossed his arms and leaned casually against the door. He was extremely charming and didn't need to be retouched.
He turned his head to look at Fu Yun and said casually, "Haven't you thought of finding a father for Wen Wen?"
Fu Yun knew that Si Yue liked Wen Wen, so it was normal for her to be concerned about him. Hence, she said graciously, "I won't consider it for the time being. If Wen Wen is happier now, I won't remarry."
Fu Yun could also sense his rejection of the word 'father'. She thought that Wen Wen would be curious as to why other children had fathers when he grew up.
She thought of many reasons for this, but none of them were useful. Wen Wen didn't even like having one more person in the house.
Re- remarry?
Si Yue almost choked. The corner of his mouth twitched. "I mean, the child's biological father."
"Haven't you thought about what you'll do if the child's biological father comes and fights with you for custody?"
Si Yue really did have this idea at the beginning, so he directly laid his cards on the table with Fu Yun.
He knew that if he really wanted to fight for custody, Fu Yun wouldn't have any chance of winning.
However, seeing how the mother and son interacted with each other and relied on each other so deeply, he could imagine that if he really forced Wen Wen to leave Fu Yun's side, Wen Wen would definitely reject or even hate him as a father.
He still remembered that Wen Wen hated his father, whom he had never met.
This was the most disadvantageous method, so Si Yue dispelled this idea.
However, Si Yue, who had always thought of every possibility, didn't know what to do for the first time.
In the end, he could only cultivate his relationship with the child like he was doing now and take one step at a time.
When Fu Yun heard this, she waved her hand and said, "How can that be? He died a long time ago. How can he climb out of his grave and snatch the child from me? "
She thought that since she didn't see what that person looked like, that person must be the same. Besides, Wen Wen looked so much like her and didn't look like anyone else at all. As long as they didn't do a DNA test, how could they find that man?
Of course, she couldn't say the truth. She could only say this.
The dead Si Yue: "…"
Ha, a woman full of lies.
