Chapter 79: Du Mansheng Invites Her to Collaborate (1)

Ever since Tian Tian confirmed her participation in the show, Du Mansheng had been following “National Parents” from the very first episode up until now.

At first, like many viewers, she strongly disliked Yan Yueqing. Even though her rational mind told her this was a reality show and the personas were arranged by the production team, she still couldn’t bring herself to like such a person!

Unexpectedly, in the last episode, Yan Yueqing suddenly turned the tables, catching everyone off guard.

The tone had changed, and so had the dialogue. Du Mansheng now felt very favorably towards Yan Yueqing!

Although she knew Tian Tian was paired with Qin Youran this time, she had no intention of meeting Qin Youran and instead came to see Yan Yueqing.

When she walked into the apartment, the atmosphere was lively, with a table full of food.

To cater to the children’s tastes, Xu Li had prepared dishes that were mainly light and sweet.

White cut chicken, braised squab^[1]pigeon, sweet and sour pork with pineapple, winter melon soup with eight treasures, celery beef strips… Being close to the sea, there was an abundance of seafood, including cheese-baked lobster and steamed spotted grouper.

Yan Yueqing was selecting pigeon legs for Tang Tang, serving sweet and sour pork to her son, picking out beef strips for Jun Yan, and removing fish bones for Tian Tian, ensuring everyone was taken care of equally!

Seeing Du Mansheng enter, she greeted her with a smile: “Tian Tian’s aunt, hello! Have you eaten yet? Come join us and try Chef Xu’s cooking!”

Normally, Du Mansheng, who disliked socializing with strangers, would have politely declined. However, seeing so many children enjoying their meal, she couldn’t help but feel tempted! She casually sat down next to Tian Tian and said with surprise, “Wow, so many dishes?”

Tian Tian, her mouth full of delicious food, hurriedly swallowed before speaking: “Auntie, Aunt Xu’s cooking is really delicious!”

Xu Li proactively handed over clean bowls and chopsticks: “You’re all too kind~ My cooking skills still need improvement!”

“It’s already very tasty!” Tang Tang said, smiling and adding in her heart – although not as good as her godmother’s cooking.

As everyone dined together, viewers in the live stream watched longingly.

[At this moment, a hungry man opened his favorite food delivery app! I’ve decided to order pineapple rice!]

[Since there’s no sweet and sour pork, I’ll just order some sweet and sour ribs.]

[Who’s this new lady? Is she also a guest arranged by the production team?]

[She’s Tian Tian’s aunt, Du Mansheng, a well-known philanthropist in A City’s wealthy circles! Unlike those fake philanthropists, she donates several tens of millions to charitable projects every year and actively leads teams to teach in remote mountainous areas. You could say charity work is ingrained in her bones!]

[So she’s a true philanthropist! Good deeds bring good fortune! This lady looks kind just by her appearance!]

[Is her visit possibly related to Song Xiaohua’s situation? Didn’t Yan Yueqing already say she’d cover the medical expenses? Is Mrs. Du coming here to… steal the spotlight?]

Tian Tian acted as the voice of the viewers. After the meal, as everyone sat around the table chatting, she peeled an orange and asked, “Auntie, besides coming to see me in Neihai City, do you also want to visit Sister Xiaohua?”

Her feelings towards Song Xiaohua were conflicted! On one hand, she sympathized with her as a patient… On the other hand, Song Xiaohua’s behavior had been so terrible… Especially the slap she gave to little sister Tang Tang… Even Tian Tian, who had been taught to be forgiving since childhood, didn’t want to donate money to Song Xiaohua!

Her aunt was involved in charity work and had helped many children with leukemia in recent years. If she tried to dissuade her aunt from sponsoring because of Song Xiaohua’s bad behavior, wouldn’t that make her angry?

Du Mansheng gently smoothed her niece’s messy hair: “No, I came to see Yueqing.”

“Huh?” Tang Tang, in the middle of biting into an apple, exclaimed in surprise.
