Chapter 83p2
Seriously?
It wasn’t that serious…
Cheng Feiying didn’t know how the comments in the live broadcast room were analyzing him, he didn’t have the brainpower to think about those things.
Actually, he was already trying his best to control his anger, to prevent himself from venting his frustration, which he couldn’t direct at Bai Lei, onto Cheng Rongrong. Of course, controlling his anger during the live broadcast was already difficult enough for Cheng Feiying, expecting him to be nice to Cheng Rongrong was truly asking too much.
Were they kidding? Even though Cheng Tingyan was aloof, silent, and not close to anyone, always running around and even attracting a troublesome little fatty, at least she took care of herself and hadn’t caused him any major trouble. Unlike Cheng Rongrong, who was usually well-behaved, adorable, and considerate, but suddenly, she caused him to be called to the restroom and have the program director throw evidence in his face, leaving him speechless.
That embarrassment of being criticized, and in a place like the restroom… Cheng Feiying couldn’t bear to think about it again, it made him furious. Two minutes, how could two minutes be enough to vent his anger! Even twenty minutes wouldn’t be enough! It was wrong for Bai Lei to interfere with the filming, but even if she interfered, she got caught, leaving behind evidence, wasn’t that wrong, it was stupid!
He could only say, thankfully, Shi Dingshan called him over early, he had enough time to calm down, otherwise, when Cheng Rongrong proudly announced that she was the first to sell out her vegetables, Cheng Feiying really couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t explode again.
Ignorance truly was bliss.
The program team had already decided to let it go, Cheng Feiying naturally wouldn’t expose his own shortcomings during the live broadcast, but Cheng Rongrong’s happiness and bragging truly made him feel she was stupid. He believed that in the eyes of those staff members who knew the truth, she was even more stupid, incredibly stupid!
The food on Cheng Rongrong’s side of the table felt like an insult to Cheng Feiying, let alone eating it.
Thankfully, he still had the other half of the table to eat from.
Plentiful, delicious, large portions… And most importantly, the money used to buy them was earned cleanly, it was even the highest among all the babies.
Although Cheng Tingyan was still aloof and distant, with the ignorant and self-righteous Cheng Rongrong as a contrast, Cheng Feiying felt that Cheng Tingyan was still quite good, even the little fatty who came to freeload seemed more pleasing to the eye.
Especially after asking a few questions and learning that the pack of hair ties in Cheng Tingyan’s bag was a gift from the little fatty, Cheng Feiying felt the gap between his two daughters widen even further. One had to have her mother violate the rules and hire shills to buy her vegetables, just to earn money. The other not only earned more on her own, but even received gifts.
What was the point of only focusing on what they had within their own family? The real skill was to get things from other families.
The more Cheng Feiying thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, the harder he chewed his food.
So why did he agree to Bai Lei and Cheng Rongrong’s plan, letting them step on Cheng Tingyan on the show?
True, Cheng Tingyan was aloof and had a bad temper, she didn’t seem to have a bright future. But the one with a good personality and temper, it seemed she hadn’t done much better these past few days, had she?
If Cheng Rongrong could truly shine on this show, Cheng Feiying wouldn’t mind sacrificing a useless one as a stepping stone. But Cheng Rongrong even needed her mother to create a fake highlight for her when selling vegetables, with the program team’s strict control later on, could she still stand out on her own?
Why should he sacrifice a child who, now that he thought about it, wasn’t that bad, to benefit one who, now that he thought about it, wasn’t that impressive?
He was the one with custody of both children, if the input and output weren’t proportional, he didn’t need to sacrifice a potential asset, right?
As Cheng Feiying ate, he successfully convinced himself, the nameless anger in his stomach subsided quite a bit.
But while someone regained a bit of his senses and calmed down, someone else truly… exploded!
The overturned tables and chairs, the shattered bowls, plates, and vases, the scattered food, the splattered sauce, the floor and the wall next to it were a mess.
Bai Lei, standing a few steps away, in a relatively clean spot, clenched her fists, staring at Cheng Rongrong, who was quietly eating on the projection screen.
Cheng Feiying! How dare you!
This morning, after receiving the good news from the man she had sent, it was followed by chaotic noises and a phone that couldn’t be reached anymore.
After a while, the man called back, and the good news turned into bad news.
That man, although cowardly in front of the bear-like man, at least he didn’t reveal the note-passing incident.
Since communication with the outside world was prohibited during the live broadcast, it was definitely a taboo. In comparison, a mother caring for her child, offering a little help, should be understandable. Bai Lei had even prepared herself for how to respond if the program team called to question her.
But she didn’t expect that the call she received was from Cheng Feiying.
During the two-minute call, she only had a chance to say one word, the “hello” when she answered, the rest was filled with the other party’s anger and accusations.
It made her angry too, but then he… hung up… and turned off his phone.
If that was her punishment for hiring the wrong person, she would… endure it.
But Cheng Feiying, how dare he, how dare he treat Rongrong like that?
Bai Lei completely exploded when she saw the obvious difference in Cheng Feiying’s treatment of Cheng Tingyan and Cheng Rongrong on the live broadcast.
This man, he was truly useless, just a small issue, and he acted like this on the live broadcast.
Unanswered conversations, untouched dishes…
Didn’t he have a brain? Couldn’t he imagine the embarrassment and hurt it would cause Cheng Rongrong?
Idiot!
As expected, an idiot was an idiot, he wouldn’t truly become smart just because of a few years of seemingly harmonious atmosphere.
But Bai Lei didn’t know that although Cheng Rongrong was indeed embarrassed by Cheng Feiying’s strange attitude, hurt… she wasn’t.
The day before, when Cheng Feiying carried 1500kg of watermelon and said he could carry 3000kg but didn’t want to because it wasn’t worth it, Cheng Rongrong started to realize that perhaps she shouldn’t continue to be tied to Cheng Feiying.
No, or maybe she had already had this thought during the relay race.
After all, if Cheng Feiying continued like this, he wouldn’t even be able to maintain his persona as a loving father who was occasionally strict for the sake of educating his child.
If she continued to be tied to him, to try and make up for his shortcomings, her own persona would also crumble along with his declining reputation.
At the lunch table, Cheng Rongrong felt Cheng Feiying had embarrassed her several times and was continuing to do so. She didn’t know why, but it didn’t stop her from hating his mood swings. Especially when he was embarrassing her while praising Cheng Tingyan, it was truly…
Cheng Rongrong couldn’t help but think about the original novel, where Cheng Feiying only brought Cheng Tingyan to the third season of “Where’s Baby Going,” and their father-daughter relationship improved.
So, was this the inertia of the original plot?
It was like… Cheng Rongrong thought about the other babies working around Cheng Tingyan’s candied tomato stall at the market, was it like the protagonist’s unshakable halo?
Regardless of who was missing, Cheng Rongrong glanced at Cheng Feiying.
Regardless of who was added, Cheng Rongrong glanced at the stinky chubby girl munching on ribs at the table.
No matter what, if there was a halo in this world, it should belong to her.
Otherwise, why would she, someone who had read the original novel, be brought to this world!
