Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!

In the frame, Yan Yueqing used both hands and feet, like an agile monkey, and in just a couple of movements, she was already midway up the tree trunk.

Her slender hands moved through the shadows of the leaves and sunlight, beautiful like a scene from a movie.

A moment later, she let go and jumped down, landing softly like a rubber ball.

This series of actions flowed smoothly, in stark contrast to how she had just fainted, as if she had transformed into a different person!

Even Tang Tang, who couldn't stand her, was impressed by the graceful and agile moves, and watched dumbfounded as Yan Yueqing walked up to her.

Opening her hands, the rosy fruit in her palm seemed irresistibly tempting!

Tang Tang blinked her beautiful big eyes, obviously wanting the fruit, but kept a stern face, "What's wrong with you?! I've told you—I—"

"My being nice to you isn't about trying to get close to your dad." Yan Yueqing crouched down, speaking gently to the little girl in front of her, "I just wanted to be kind to you, that's all."

The tenderness in her eyes left Tang Tang momentarily mesmerized.

After a short pause, she bit her lip, "You're lying!"

Yan Yueqing laughed, honestly saying, "I have a son, a few months older than you, who has been unable to leave the hospital because of an illness... He also wants to climb trees and pick fruits, but unfortunately, he can't..."

The audience in the live broadcast exploded instantly!

[What the hell? Yan Yueqing has a child?!!!]

[Holy shit, am I here for a huge scoop?!]

[Are there any celebrities who dare to admit they have kids? Has she gone mad?]

[New way of hyping things up, I guess! Yan Yueqing will do anything to become famous.]

Being a live reality show, Yan Yueqing knew very well the kind of reaction this revelation would cause.

Yes, she had a son!

A son who couldn't leave the hospital, seemingly under treatment but actually under house arrest.

Her family had always used her son to blackmail the original host, forcing her to hand over every penny and even taking on a huge debt of five million.

According to the plot of the book, this big news would soon break on the internet! Even if her arrival had changed the course of the story, the leaked photos had been taken a long time ago! Some were even taken in the hospital, clearly the doing of her family members!

It seems they had been prepared for some time, just waiting for the right moment to release it.

By then, she would be at a disadvantage again.

Her son was so adorable, why hide him away?

Of course, Yan Yueqing wanted to go public first and seize the initiative.

Tang Tang was shocked beyond words!

She seemed not to have expected Yueqing to say such a thing?! She has a son? Just wants to be kind to her? Not to get close to her dad?

Really or not?

In her mind, two little figures were furiously debating between "trust her" and "don't trust her."

Her beautiful big eyes fluttered with hesitation, causing an uproar in the comments.

[Danger! Red alert! The Little Princess is about to be conned by Yan Yueqing!]

[Tang Tang, don't listen to her nonsense! Using a child's innocence to gain trust? She is so disgusting!]

[I can't stand it, where is the production team filming? I want to confront this woman! Her mouth is full of lies.]

[Don't believe her! When Yan Yueqing first debuted, she even claimed to be the Second Miss of C city's Richest Yan family! And what happened? The Yan Family issued a statement overnight, telling her not to climb above her station! This woman will say anything for fame!]

Yan Yueqing handed the fruit to Tang Tang, "My dear son in the hospital loves watching the ads you shoot. When he heard I would be on a show with you, he hoped to see more of our interaction."

Tang Tang bit her lip, "So... you're being nice to me… not to get close to my dad, but to fulfill your son's wish?"

"Yes."

Yan Yueqing nodded. Her son liking Tang Tang was true, but the biggest reason was that the original host needed to make money!

The character role scripted by the program's team was so hateful that nearly no guest wanted to accept it, only the original host agreed.

Tang Tang pondered for a moment, then followed up with, "Really no other thoughts?"

Yueqing replied seriously, "Well, he does want one of your autographs."

With a pout, Tang Tang's heart softened, "Alright then, for the little brother's sake, I won't hold it against you."

As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily focused on the red fruit, obviously craving badly for it.

Yueqing chuckled softly and carefully peeled the skin for her, offering the snowy white flesh, "This is sour and sweet, give it a try."

Tang Tang naturally accepted it, taking a bite of the juicy flesh and immediately showing a satisfied and adorable expression.

[No way? Was Little Princess Tang Tang just bribed like that?!]

[Fawning over some other cute baby just to get a Tang Tang signature? I'm dying of laughter, you guys can't seriously believe this setup, can you? It sounds way too fake!]

[Does she really have a son now? That's so sudden! Once not acting crazy, Yueqing is quite pretty, still a youthfully attractive bootlicker!]

[Indeed, when she's not going nuts, she looks rather nice, not at all like a mother.]

[Maybe there's a motherly BUFF, the way she just fed Tang Tang seemed quite gentle...]

After finishing the fruit, the system prompted:

[Favorability of Tang Tang +5 points

Current Favorability: -20 points]

The favorability of the children, it rises when they say it does.

At this rate, Yueqing suddenly felt hopeful for the future!

The mountain climbing mission wasn't long, and after reaching the peak to exchange for the Pass Card, they could collect dinner ingredients in sequence.

Yueqing had fallen once, at first not feeling the pain, but as she continued, it became more tiring.

Normally, Tang Tang, who strove to be first, would have complained about being held back, but today she kept quiet, perhaps bribed by the fruit.

When they reached the destination, they were unsurprisingly the last team arrived.

The other guests had been resting with the cute babies in the pavilion; upon seeing Yueqing, their looks became somewhat complicated.

The baby variety show they were in, promoted by Zhongxing Media this year, was called "National Parent."

Different guests paired up with different cute babies, conducting live broadcast PKs every episode. The guest's behavior, interaction with the cute babies, and live broadcast popularity, among other comprehensive factors, were evaluated to crown the season's "National Parent."

Reality shows have character images, an open secret in the industry!

To complement the guests, the production team deliberately set up an extremely annoying "bootlicker character image."

The result? Yueqing, who had just taken her "character image fee," suddenly confessed to having a child?!

Was she waking up to whitewash herself?

Or was it a crazy spree to the death?

This bizarre move stunned everyone to the core...

Having taken the money and still causing trouble, the production team was also furious!

Due to the live broadcast, they couldn't immediately deal with Yueqing, so they decided to secretly mess with her.

Once everyone arrived, the village chief announced: As the last team to arrive at the destination, the production team will provide neither dinner ingredients nor tools for descending the mountain.

This left not only the guests dumbfounded but also the live audience.

[I mean, Yueqing held herself back, but what's that got to do with Little Princess Tang Tang?!]

[If the production team starves Little Princess Tang Tang, I'm going to storm over there tomorrow!]

[Being in a group with Yueqing is just bad luck! Not only did they choose the worst house, now they can't even have dinner!]

[That mountain isn't tall, but trekking up and down is still several kilometers! My heart aches for my baby Tang Tang.]

Youran, truly the protagonist of the book, immediately saw this as an opportunity to gain favorability and squatted down to discuss with the cute baby in her group, "Hao Hao, Little Sister Tang Tang has nothing to eat tonight, shall we share half of our dinner ingredients with them?"

Li Hao blinked his doe eyes and said, "Okay."

Youran, holding Li Hao's hand, deliberately walked in front of the camera, her generous and gentle demeanor very eye-catching, "Village chief, our group would like to give half of our ingredients to Tang Tang."
