Chapter 1053: Hopes of Getting Back Together

“Ella,” Director Ben called out to her. “Come and look at this scene.”

Only then did Nangong Lengyu turn around. As she walked over, she opened up the candy in her hand. When the sweet and sour taste filled her mouth, her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She stuffed the candy wrapper into her pocket and walked over quickly.

During the afternoon shoot, Ling Sheng drank some water. Just as she was about to take a break, someone shouted that Ella was looking for her.

“Teacher Nangong.” Ling Sheng ran over nervously. She felt that her performance in the afternoon was alright. Could it be that she was going to be reprimanded again? “Is there something you need?”

“How do I fold this?” It had been more than 20 years since Nangong Lengyu had touched folding paper. For a moment, she didn’t even know how to fold the simplest paper crane. She had tried for a long time but still could not figure it out.

She remembered that when she was young, every time she finished a candy, she would fold the candy wrapper into all kinds of folded paper, paper cranes, roses, carnations, lilies, and many other beautiful shapes.

“Mom, this candy wrapper is really nice.” Ling Sheng took the candy wrapper from her hands. It was pink and had an irregular pattern of various colors on it. It was very cute and fresh. When she sniffed it, she could smell the scent of tangerine peel. She had never seen such a candy before.

“I didn’t expect the market to be still selling candy of this brand either.” Nangong Lengyu’s tone softened. When she smiled, there was a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. “In the past, this candy was my favorite. The taste hasn’t changed. It’s still the same as I remembered it.”

Ling Sheng thought to herself, “Why haven’t I seen it before? Who gave it to her? There seems to be only one candy. Could it be from her father?” She secretly glanced at her beautiful mother beside her and smiled as she taught her how to fold paper cranes.

She had a feeling that there was hope for her father and mother to get back together. In front of her mother, her father would not shout and lose his temper. Instead, he would become especially attentive. He must have given her the candy after she drank the Chinese medicine!

“Sheng Sheng, Xiaoqi told me that he wants to participate in the variety show ‘Dad is Superman’. What do you think?” Nangong Lengyu asked for her opinion as she folded the paper crane.

After lunch, the little kid secretly pulled her along and said that she wanted to go on the show to earn money and buy a birthday present for her great-grandfather. How could she bear to reject the good boy? She did not directly agree or reject him. She said that she would give him an answer at night.

She knew the director of the show, Jin Yu. If the kid wanted to be a guest for one episode, it was fine. If she brought the kid over, Jin Yu would be overjoyed. After all, she had never participated in such shows before.

Ever since she returned to the entertainment industry, she had received countless invitations from various television stations and directors, but she had rejected them all. Since she had already quit the entertainment industry, she would never step into this field again.

“If Xiaoqi wants to go, I don’t have any objections. I’ll definitely respect his thoughts.” Ling Sheng had thought that it was something important. Upon hearing this, she finally understood why her father had brought Xiaoqi over. It turned out that he wanted Xiaoqi to convince her mother to join the show!

The director of the show “Daddy is Superman”, along with the station head, the deputy station head, and the station staff who were on good terms with her father called him one after another, begging him to bring Xiaoqi to be a guest for one episode. They even convinced her to be a guest, but her father did not agree.

If her father really brought Xiaoqi along, this show would be incredible. The viewership ratings would directly take the top spot for this year’s variety show. She could already imagine that if Movie King Huo brought his grandson on the show as a guest, this topic would definitely be explosive.

“Xiaoqi said that he wants to earn money by himself to buy a birthday gift for great-grandpa.” Nangong Lengyu’s lips curled into a doting smile. The kid was just too filial. Just because of his filial piety, she could not bear to reject him.

Ling Sheng looked at the gentle smile on her face and coughed softly. “Mom, do as you deem fit. Anyway, Xiaoqi likes the entertainment industry a lot. His dream is to be an actor. He’s so envious of the child actor, Tong Xing.”

In her heart, she did not want her son to come into contact with the entertainment industry too early. However, if her son could become an aid for her grandparent’s reconciliation, she felt that this might not be bad.

“Then I’ll ask Ah Yan again.” Nangong Lengyu smiled and nodded. She had to ask his father again if he allowed him to participate in the show.

The little guy liked to watch all kinds of television shows and even liked acting. Even if she brought him on variety shows, it was just to play with him. She did not lack the money, it’s only to make him happy.

When Ling Sheng saw that she had called the Third Master, she wanted to tell him that the show had actually invited her father countless times but had not succeeded. Her father must have had a motive for getting Xiaoqi to say this. Perhaps he wanted his grandson to go onto the show together with his grandparents.

Ling Sheng was right.

“Yes, Brother Ci has already agreed to bring the kid on the show.” Jin Yu did not expect that even after using all his connections, he still could not invite Movie King Huo on the show as a guest for one episode. But just now, Movie King Huo had actually called to say he agreed to participate in the show.

While he was preparing to share this great news with his companions happily, he immediately received another call. Movie Queen Nangong took the initiative to inform him she was also bringing her grandson to the show. He was overwhelmed by the news and felt a little smug.

Nangong Lengyu’s eyes turned cold. With obvious mockery, she asked, “Can you think of a way to reject him? I’ll pay for the losses.”

She still did not know that Huo Ci, that bastard, had rejected Xiaoqi and was unwilling to bring him on the show. Xiaoqi had come over to tell her about this, but after he returned, he suddenly changed his mind and agreed to bring Xiaoqi on the show.

Perhaps everything was within his control, and he had planned it all along.

Did he want to go on the show with her? Did he want to see her make a fool of herself? Did he want Xiaoqi to make a choice between the two of them?

“Nangong, our production team has already invited Brother Ci countless times, I really can’t reject him. You’d better discuss it with Brother Ci. Will you bring the child over, or will he bring the child over, or will the two of you bring the child over together?” Jin Yu screamed crazily in his heart. It would be best if the two of them could bring the kid onto the show together. Thinking of the explosive topics and viewership ratings, he would wake up from his dreams laughing.

“Alright, I’ll give you an answer after I discuss it with him.” Nangong Lengyu hung up the phone. After some thought, she did not call Huo Ci and continued working.

Huo Ci was still waiting for a call at home. Jin Yu called him and informed him that Nangong Lengyu had already called and wanted to bring the kid onto the show. He asked him what they were thinking and who would bring the kid to the show. He also hinted that it would be best if all three of them went..
