Chapter 152: Wait and see
Chapter 152
"Wow, Tao Sister your cooking skills have gotten even better!"
For people who love cooking, nothing makes them happier than getting compliments from others.
Tao Sister laughed happily as she scooped a big bowl of rice for Shen Tang, pressing down forcefully.
"Enough, enough!"
"Not enough, this is just a bit more."
And so, with a crack, the bowl split open.
Tao Sister split open along with it.
What was up with this bowl?
Shen Tang chuckled, "The quality of this bowl isn\'t good."
"You\'re right."
Having found an excuse to step down, Tao Sister naturally took it.
After eating their fill, Gu Qingan finally arrived late.
"Sorry I\'m late."
"Not late at all, sister have you eaten?"
"I\'ve eaten, oh right, regarding that livestream you mentioned earlier, I don\'t care. They\'re both old enough to make their own decisions."
Shen Tang had to admit, she really admired Gu Qingan for being such an open-minded parent, not someone who insisted on controlling their child and forcing them to listen to their opinion.
"In that case, Anran and Wuyang, do you two want to participate?"
Gu Anran and Gu Wuyang looked at each other, then nodded eagerly in unison, saying in childish voices: "We want to!"
"I\'ve also told you about the potential situations that could occur, you two don\'t mind either?"
Gu Anran shook her head, "I don\'t mind, they can say whatever they want, the words come out of their mouths after all."
Gu Wuyang let out a slight humph like a little adult, "Do you not have confidence in me? I will definitely become the most popular little kid!"
Shen Tang gave a thumbs up, "Not bad, very confident!"
"Then it\'s decided, you\'ll just stay here. The filming crew will come in a couple days."
Since they had watched previous episodes of the show, the two little ones actually knew quite a bit about how the show flowed, and were extremely excited right now.
"Mom, I want to buy a pretty dress to wear!" said Gu Anran.
Gu Wuyang wanted one too, but he didn\'t say anything, only looked over hopefully.
Gu Qingan waved her hand grandly, "Buy them!"
And so, Gu Qingan gave each of the three people a card, "Here, spending money."
Shen Tang looked at hers in surprise, "I get one too?"
"The little ones get them."
Gu Huaian gave a light cough, "What about me?"
"You\'re a grown up, how can you brazenly ask like that?"
Gu Huaian: "......"
"I\'m younger than you."
Gu Qingan rolled her eyes, "Fine, I just don\'t want to give you one. I figured the esteemed President Gu wouldn\'t lack for that bit of money anyway."
"I\'m lacking."
Shen Tang and the two little ones almost burst out laughing watching this scene unfold.
Time quickly arrived at nighttime. For Gu Huaian there was one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.
The good news was that Shen Tang didn\'t return to the Shen house, but rather stayed here.
The bad news was that the two were still sleeping separately.
He had planned to sneak into bed at night, but unexpectedly there were two light bulbs Gu Anran and Gu Wuyang.
The four of them stared at each other, eye to eye.
Gu Huaian was the first to speak: "What are you two doing here so late at night?"
Don\'t you have your own rooms?
Gu Anran was confused, Gu Wuyang retorted: "You aren\'t sleeping either! Sneaking in here, up to no good!"
Gu Huaian felt a bit guilty, he really was up to no good.
But his acting skills had been honed to perfection, naturally a little kid like Gu Wuyang couldn\'t see through him.
Gu Huaian said: "I came to find auntie about something I need to discuss."
"What\'s so urgent that you have to talk about it in the middle of the night? Can\'t you talk about it tomorrow morning?" Gu Wuyang said.
Shen Tang was struggling not to laugh.
She lightly cleared her throat and chimed in: "He\'s right, just come talk tomorrow morning."
Gu Huaian had no choice but to leave.
The days flashed by in the blink of an eye, and finally the day arrived for the variety show filming.
Shen Tang and the two little ones had agreed beforehand to just act normally, so when the filming crew arrived, Shen Tang and company still weren\'t awake.
The filming crew really did come extra early in order to stir up trouble, arriving at 5am.
Most young people nowadays rarely get up that early if they have nothing urgent to do. Shen Tang was indeed still in dreamland.
Tao Sister welcomed the filming crew downstairs, and after waiting a while Shen Tang still hadn\'t come down, she was starting to feel embarrassed.
"Um, do you want to drink some more water?"
A crew member burped, "No no, don\'t need more."
They\'d already drank several glasses of water, and were even feeling like they needed the bathroom now.
There were already some people in the livestream, including Shen Tang fans, diligent antifans, and casual observers.
[Huh, what\'s going on here? Shen Tang still isn\'t up? Doing it on purpose right?]
[I\'m not up yet either, pretty normal, it\'s so early!]
[Same here, not up yet, I\'m still laying in bed watching the livestream. Feels pretty real, who\'s already up with makeup done at 5am?]
It wasn\'t until 8am that the three finally came downstairs.
At this point the crew had already eaten the breakfast Tao Sister made, the livestream viewers were even more bleary-eyed.
[Looks delicious]
[Do rich families eat such lavish breakfasts every day?]
[The congee in my hands suddenly doesn\'t seem appetizing, hard to swallow]
Shen Tang smiled and greeted, "Good morning!"
Anran and Wuyang were wearing matching outfits, standing together they looked just like a pair of toy dolls.
[Ahhh so cute so cute!]
[Heavens, the genes are too good!]
[Hehe, I wonder what color sacks they like...]
Next they started packing for the trip, taking a car to the meeting point.
Shen Tang didn\'t butt in for everything, but also didn\'t just lie there motionless, letting the kids do as they pleased.
Instead she selectively had the two little ones take action themselves, like packing their luggage, which could help them gain experience.
Things were going very smoothly on Shen Tang\'s end, the two little cuties attracted quite a few auntie fans.
The arrangements Gu Huaian made at the company were also nearing completion.
The office door was shoved open forcefully, Gu Rong charged in furiously.
"Gu Huaian, just what have you done! Do you still see me, your second uncle!"
Gu Huaian had his hands folded, "Second uncle, what nonsense are you saying? What could I do?"
Gu Rong was livid, pointing at Gu Huaian\'s nose and scolding: "Humph, you haven\'t done anything? Then why are people investigating me?"
If not for backing from his superiors, he would have been locked up by now.
Gu Huaian distastefully shifted back a bit, how unsanitary, the spit nearly sprayed on his face.
"Then second uncle should ask himself what he has done. Our Gu family are all law-abiding good citizens, illegal things cannot be done!"
Gu Rong nearly choked from anger.
He refused to believe Gu Huaian\'s hands were completely clean without a single wrongdoing.
Gu Rong let out a cold laugh, leaving a threatening remark: "You speak so smoothly, but actions speak louder than empty words. You best not fall into my hands."
Gu Huaian smiled and nodded: "Then I will...wait and see."
