The rich stepmother brought her son to the variety show again ~ Chapter 63 A Close Call

The interrogation of Brown Jun ended up in nothing, because Brown Jun acted as if nothing had happened, and kept silent about what had just happened and what he had said to Chu Rong. He supervised Chu Rong with a cold face to complete the task he assigned. Chu Rong got started quickly, and played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to perfection. After three hours, she felt that she could play it with her eyes closed.

  ”Teacher Xiaojun,” Chu Rong felt her fingers were both flexible and stiff when Bulang Jun announced that the class was over. She wondered if Bulang Jun’s arrangement was a deliberate trick on her. “We’re done. Can we talk about the topic we just discussed?”

  Bu Langjun didn’t even look at Chu Rong. He slid his fingers on the tablet and looked at something with his eyes lowered.

  ”What topic?” he asked softly.

  Chu Rong didn’t play dumb with him, “You asked me which world I came from.”

  Brown Jun hummed.

  ”Did Fu Ruhui ask you to ask?”

  Her blunt question surprised Bulangjun a little. He raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Rong, but did not answer. He seemed to be thinking. After thinking for a moment, a smile appeared on the gloomy face of the young man for the first time.

  Chu Rong was a little speechless: “…What are you laughing at?”

  After a brief smile, Brown Jun immediately returned to his expressionless face, “What do you think?”

  He didn’t answer the question, but just let Chu Rong think about it and guess.

  Chu Rong hated the Riddler. Bu Langjun was simply speechless. For some reason, just by looking at his face, Chu Rong wanted to beat him up.

  ”Just tell me what your purpose is. I can see that you have some ability.” Chu Rong’s fists were clenched. “If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t play dumb with me.”

  Bulang Jun held the tablet with four fingers of his left hand and pointed the screen directly at Chu Rong’s eyes. “Today’s homework will be checked tomorrow.”

  Chu Rong looked closely and asked, “What?” Why is it still Croatian Rhapsody?

  Brown Jun continued, “If you can’t pass, practice more.”

  Chu Rong: “Why?”

  Chu Rong: “Why?”

  Chu Rong: “Hey, that’s not right. Wait, answer my question first.”

  Bulang Jun put the tablet in Chu Rong’s hand, straightened his sleeves, brushed past Chu Rong’s shoulder, and left the Fu family gracefully.

  Chu Rong stared blankly at the tablet and the music sheet for a long time before throwing the tablet in anger. She said she threw the tablet in anger, but in fact she just threw the tablet onto the soft sofa.

  A fist hitting cotton makes people feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.

  Chu Rong lay on the sofa like a dried fish that had been stranded for a long time, face down, limbs flat, motionless, only the hair on her cheeks trembled slightly, indicating that she was still breathing.

  Fu Nian and Fu Yu, who had been watching Chu Rong for a long time, came over with snacks to feed the exhausted Chu Rong. It was the precious afternoon tea time and they should enjoy the delicious food happily.

It’s just that the mom is so pitiful, she can’t have snacks with them, she has to finish her studies.

  ”Mom, do you want some sesame sauce and sugar buns?” Fu Yu held a cartoon plate. On the milky blue plate were two caramel-colored crispy buns wrapped in sweet brown sugar. They were hot and exuded a strong sweet smell. “It’s delicious.”

  It’s crispy and crunchy when you take a bite, and the lingering fragrance fills your mouth, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.

  ”Put it directly into my mouth, thank you.” The fragrance drifted into Chu Rong’s nostrils. She turned over to reveal her face, opened her mouth, and directed Fu Nian and Fu Yu to feed her with peace of mind.

  Fu Yu picked up a small steamed bun and prepared to feed it into Chu Rong’s mouth.

  Fu Nian stopped him, “It’s easy to choke if you eat while lying down.”

  Chu Rong shook her head lazily, “No, don’t worry, I’m very strong and have never been choked. A little sugar fire can’t do anything to me.”

  Fu Nian put down his hand and asked Fu Yu to take over.

  Chu Rong bit the bun in Fu Yu’s hand, and with a squeak, the dough crumbs broke all over her body and leaked into her neck. The lazy Chu Rong sat up.

  ”Is it delicious, Mom?” Fu Yu helped Chu Rong brush off the crumbs on her body. In her hand, she was holding the sugar-coated fire-baked bun that Chu Rong had taken a bite of. The thick brown sugar juice inside was particularly tempting. Fu Yu’s nose twitched slightly, “It smells so good, doesn’t it?”

  Except that it was a little hot, there were no other drawbacks. Chu Rong gave a thumbs up, “Delicious.”

  ”Are you tired?” Fu Nian saw that she was listless. He also knew that it was boring for Chu Rong to sit there and play the piano. He wanted to go over several times, but because he was afraid of Bu Langjun, Fu Nian did not dare to step forward.

  Chu Rong shook his head, “I’m not tired at all.” Playing the piano is quite fun, but it’s a bit boring to repeat the same song for three hours.

  She said she wasn’t tired, so Fu Nian asked, “Then, who is that uncle? Did you find out?”

  It would be fine if he didn’t say anything, but when it comes to Bulang Jun, Chu Rong gets angry, “No, he didn’t even listen to me.”

  After hearing this, Fu Yu strongly condemned him, “Ah? Why is it like this? Uncle is so rude!”

  Chu Rong: “Really? Really? I was really angry, and he gave me a very difficult homework.”

  Fu Yu: “Very difficult homework?” He thought about it for a moment and felt Chu Rong’s anger: “Mom, that uncle is really too much. What if you can’t write it?”

  ”yes!”

  ”Mom, you are so pitiful.”

  ”Of course.”

  ”hug.”

  The mother and son, who were talking to each other, looked more like peers. Fu Nian, as the quieter one among the three, did not join in the two’s jokes. He kept an eye on the time. There were only a few minutes left before the live broadcast equipment could be turned off, and he was counting down in his mind.

  [Why is Mr. Nian looking at the camera again…]

  [Looks like he wants to stab someone, not sure, take another look. ]

  [How old is Chu Rong and she still needs a child to feed her? Is she a giant baby? ]

  [Is it possible that Xiaoyu and Chu Rong are both happy about it, but you are the only one who is jealous?]

  [I laughed my ass off. Why did a 30-year-old wealthy lady cry to a 4-year-old child? It turns out she didn’t want to do her homework. ]

  [Niannian: I often don’t fit in with you guys because I’m not childish enough]

  【Annual total: reliable.jpg】

  [Chu Rong’s piano teacher is too mysterious. It’s ok that he doesn’t show his face, but even his voice is hard to hear. Who is he? ]

  [It’s normal for amateurs not to show their faces. If their voices are too recognizable and people recognize them, it will affect their lives.]

  [Oh, I thought the piano teacher hired by the Fu family was at least a master level.]

  ”Time’s up.” Fu Nian suddenly stood up, walked slowly to the camera, waved his hand without any emotion, “Goodbye.” The equipment was controlled by the program team, and when the time came, the program team very happily cut off the equipment connection.

  The small red light that had been on all the time went out. Fu Nian was very satisfied. He walked quickly to Chu Rong’s side. She was still talking to Fu Yu about Bu Langjun. Fu Nian felt that it was time to stop this meaningless discussion. He pulled Chu Rong, who was gesticulating with her hands and feet, and said, “Dad will be home this afternoon. Let’s discuss it.”

  Chu Rong stopped and said, “Oh.”

  Fu Yu was eating the remaining sugar-coated steamed bun while listening to Chu Rong’s words. If he continued to smack his lips, he would look like a melon-eater, although his face full of crumbs was not much worse now.

  ”Brother, what do you want to discuss?”

  Fu Nian casually took out a book and gave it to Fu Yu, “Read for a while, circle the words you don’t know, and I will teach you later.”

  Like Chu Rong, Fu Yu was easily diverted, “Okay.”

  The book Fu Nian gave him was mainly pictures, with few words and pinyin, so he asked Fu Yu to circle the words he didn’t know, mainly the words he didn’t understand. A blue fountain pen was handed to Fu Yu, and Fu Nian and Chu Rong ran to the room upstairs.

  The conversation took place in Fu Nian and Fu Yu’s room. Chu Rong and Fu Nian sat cross-legged on the children’s bed, facing each other, and neither of them spoke first.

  ”Niannian,” Chu Rong spoke first, “you are a very smart child.”

  Fu Nian waited for her to finish speaking.

  ”When did you discover…?” Chu Rong stammered the words in the middle, but didn’t say it explicitly. Fu Nian should be able to understand.

  Fu Nian said directly: “When I bite you.”

  ”…So early?”

  Fu Nian thought, in fact, it should have been earlier. The original Chu Rong would never have set foot in the attic, let alone be willing to hug him. So from the beginning, Fu Nian could sense the change in Chu Rong. But that only planted a seed of doubt in his heart. Even if he was a child who often read fairy tales, he couldn’t immediately accept the elves appearing in front of him.

  Chu Rong was originally pretending, but she was really not good at disguising herself. In less than three or two days, Fu Nian could be sure that Chu Rong had changed.

  Seeing Fu Nian nod silently, Chu Rong didn’t know what to say.

“Dad may have known it a long time ago.” Fu Nian said softly.

  Chu Rong certainly understood this. “Yes, I know. Your father is so smart, how could he not know? I just wonder why he didn’t say it out loud?”

  She was genuinely confused because she really couldn’t understand why Fu Ruhui could see that she was different from the original owner, but not only did he not say it, he also tried his best to be nice to her. Chu Rong suspected that this was Fu Ruhui’s “anesthesia plan”, but the paradox was, why did Fu Ruhui need to use sugar-coated bullets to confuse her?

  Fu Nian stared at her for a long time without saying anything. His gaze seemed a little strange, and Chu Rong couldn’t help but said, “Niannian, say something. Why are you staring at me so creepily? It’s a little scary.”

  ”I think it’s because dad likes you.” Fu Nian said slowly.

  Chu Rong: ???

  She almost choked on her own saliva, “Niannian, do you still know the word ‘like’?”

  Fu Nian looked at her as if it was a matter of course, “Of course I know. I like you very much, and so does my brother, and it seems that my father does too.”

  It turned out to be a love between family members. Chu Rong felt that she was making a fuss. She said awkwardly, “Oh, so that’s what you mean.”

  ”Dad’s love for Mom is different. It’s the love between partners.” Fu Nian continued seriously, “It’s different from me.”

  Chu Rong was dumbfounded again, “Niannian, where do you know so much?”

  ”In the horror movies you like to watch, aren’t there couples who like each other and won’t let each other go even after they turn into ghosts?” Fu Nian was not surprised. “I know all that.”

  Chu Rong began to regret taking Fu Nian to watch horror movies. She thought that this child never paid attention to the plot, but he actually remembered the love lines in the play. However, Fu Nian’s understanding of partner was a bit too heavy. Didn’t this child think that all relationships between lovers would end up as tragic as in the movies?

  ”Niannian, actually, not all couples fight to the death. Many boys and girls who love each other have a happy ending in the end.”

  ”I know.” Fu Nian nodded, “Just like penguin parents in the animal world.”

  Chu Rong: ???

  How come apart from horror movies, there are only animal worlds? Isn’t Fu Nian’s perspective on love enlightenment a bit weird?

  ”So I know that the love between mom and dad is different.” Seeing that Chu Rong’s attention was distracted to other places again, Fu Nian quickly pulled her back, “Dad likes you very much.”

  Chu Rong scratched his head, “Why do you think so?”

  ”Hmm?” Fu Nian tilted his head and looked at Chu Rong in confusion, “Didn’t you know that?”

  Chu Rong blushed, “How should I know?” Is this kid a little too sensitive? Chu Rong always feels like he has a Border Collie. The feeling of having her IQ rubbed on the ground by a kid really makes her feel ashamed.

  ”Before you came, Dad didn’t treat her like this.” Thinking that she really didn’t notice, Fu Nian carefully helped Chu Rong count the special things about Fu Ruhui, “I remember that Dad was on a business trip and often didn’t call back. After you came, Dad called you every day.”

  ”Nian Nian,” Chu Rong certainly knew this, but – “It’s not the frequency of phone calls that can tell whether a person likes another person. Maybe your father suddenly felt guilty and felt that he paid too little attention to the family. If a person doesn’t like another person, then why would he marry her?”

  The original novel says that Fu Ruhui only treated the original owner as a tool and had no feelings for her, but Chu Rong has been with Fu Ruhui for so long, she dare not say that she understands Fu Ruhui, but Chu Rong can at least be sure that Fu Ruhui is not such a disrespectful person, nor is he a person who treats marriage so casually. It is not something Fu Ruhui would do to treat women as tools and casually enter into marriage with them.

  Since he chose to marry the original owner, it is impossible that they had no feelings for each other at all.

  Fu Nian probably understood a little bit and knew how to observe the details, but could Fu Nian still remember the real details of Fu Ruhui and the original owner? Because the original owner didn’t like Fu Nian and Fu Yu, from the perspective of a son, Fu Nian would definitely not have a good attitude towards her, but what Fu Ruhui loved about the original owner was something only Fu Ruhui himself knew.

  Chu Rong felt a little sad as she thought about it, and she muttered, “Do you still remember when they first got married? Maybe it was even sweeter then than it is now?” The novel didn’t tell her, so Chu Rong could only rely on her own imagination.

  Fu Ruhui would watch the original owner eat breakfast with a smile every day, would gently remind her not to be anxious, would always pay attention to her next move, help her get what she wanted, and would kiss her gently before going to bed.

  As Chu Rong thought about it, she felt that she was asking for trouble. The more she thought about it, the more conflicted she felt. On the one hand, she felt like a little thief. Even if it was just for disguise, she was truly enjoying the treatment that Fu Ruhui gave his wife. On the other hand, she wondered whether this man Fu Ruhui knew that she was not his original wife, and he was still so sweet to her every day.

  No, she is not a thief! She did not come here willingly. She became Fu Ruhui’s wife and took good care of the two children. It was also her contribution. If she wanted to blame someone, she should blame the damn God for letting her come to this world without knowing why. And Fu Ruhui kissed her voluntarily, not because he loved her and forced her.

  Phew, that was close, I almost pua myself.

  Chu Rong’s mood turned from gloomy to bright, “Niannian, it doesn’t really matter whether your father likes me or not. After all, I’m not here for him.”

  ”But I don’t remember.” Fu Nian frowned and thought for a long time, answering Chu Rong’s previous question, “I don’t remember that my father and that person just got married.”
