Xu Youyou’s most extensive acting experience was probably playing house in kindergarten, and she felt she performed quite well.

But this time it seemed different. There were so many people around, and lots of dark machines pointing at her.

Xu Youyou wasn’t afraid at all, but the director uncle seemed to be afraid that she might be scared. He kept teaching her how to behave at the specific moment, telling her not to be afraid, and reassuring her that she could redo it if she made a mistake.

Xu Youyou nodded earnestly and said, “Uncle, Youyou understand~”

She would sit on the wooden horse and smile happily at the uncle and aunt from before. She could do it!

The director smiled and praised Xu Youyou, but he was still uneasy inside. A child acting was the most troublesome.

Because controlling them was hard!

Adults would consider many things, and understand what’s being said, but children would cry if they want to cry, refuse to shoot if they didn’t want to, and no one could persuade them.

When the producer said they had found an amateur child actress for him, the director’s first reaction was to refuse.

Child stars were better; they understood a bit about shooting and were generally obedient.

But for ordinary five or six-year-old children, to put it bluntly, they’re at an age where they can be quite capricious. If shooting was delayed because of them, it’s like burning money every minute.

Unfortunately, the director couldn’t refuse.

Who would have thought Old Chen would be so ‘lucky’? He randomly picked a child from the street and it turned out to be a close acquaintance of the biggest investor!

Being accompanied personally by Qin Xiao and supervised by Qin Yiren herself, even if the identities of the mother and daughter were unclear, they were definitely not someone he could afford to offend.

The director could only console himself silently in his heart, thinking that it was okay, the investment had been increased. Just consider it as extra pay for this child’s NG shots. The others present were also astute; they definitely wouldn’t show any impatience.

However, when Xu Youyou sat on that carousel and the director called for action, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the little girl showed no signs of stage fright at all!

Looking at the expressions of Wei Dong and Yao Fanyu, she was so innocent, lively, and adorable, as if she were really a little girl out playing with her mother and father.

Her radiant smile made people want to pick her up and give her a big hug and a kiss!

“Cut!” The director shouted, then walked forward briskly. “Very good, very good, Youyou did a fantastic job!”

Not only the director, but the producer on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. Even though this scene was the simplest among all the child scenes, the fact that it went so smoothly and succeeded in one go was still a good start.

Then he praised himself inwardly, thinking his judgment was spot on.

What’s wrong with amateur actors? Amateur children were even more authentic, alright? That inherent innocence and liveliness in their eyes couldn’t be acted out. Putting them on the big screen could really captivate the audience’s hearts.

Moreover, this amateur comes with investment backing, making her a precious asset!

“Yeah.” Wei Dong chimed in, “I want to have a daughter as cute and well-behaved as Youyou.”

No matter how much flattery was in that statement, at least Xu Youyou’s first scene went smoothly and came to a successful close.

The director decided to strike while the iron was hot and shot the second scene of the family of three eating together at home. The focus was on portraying how happy the family was before the child was abducted.

Once these two scenes were done, Xu Youyou’s part for the day was mostly finished.

After all, in this movie, the two parents were the main characters.

Qin Yiren and the others declined the director’s invitation to have dinner together. Instead, they took the children home happily, praising Xu Youyou all the way, making the little girl blush with all the compliments.

And so, visiting the film set every other day, Xu Youyou quickly became acquainted with the uncles and aunts there.

At first, everyone was worried that such a well-connected child might be difficult to handle, but they soon found out that she was nothing like they had imagined!

Xu Youyou does have a great personality.

She doesn’t get impatient when asked to memorize lines, and she can understand the scenes after just a few explanations. She can even perform them according to the director’s instructions, which far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Even when she accidentally fell during filming one time, everyone was nervously rushing to comfort her, but she ended up comforting them instead.

“Youyou is fine, Uncles and Aunts don’t need to worry.” The little one brushed off the dust from her pants, stood up briskly, and waved to Xu Wenyin who was running over. “Mom, Youyou isn’t hurt! The pants is thick~”

She had fallen much harder during training camp, so Xu Youyou really didn’t think it was a big deal. She just needed to stand up again.

But she managed to melt the hearts of everyone around, including Wei Dong.

What a lovely little angel this was! If he had a daughter like this, he would gladly let her ride on his back every day.

Even Yao Fanyu, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but think that if Xu Youyou entered the entertainment industry in the future, she would probably outshine all the other child stars of her generation.

She’s spirited, beautiful, and likable. Most importantly, she had a strong background. With the Qin family supporting her from behind, who wouldn’t give her face?

It’s just that her daughter would pale in comparison.

She could only hope that families like these remain thinking that acting was just for fun and not meant as a path to the entertainment industry. Otherwise……

Entering the crew once again, and since today happened to be Sunday, with the director’s permission obtained in advance, Xu Youyou brought her little friends along this time.

Ever since Liu Miaomiao and the others found out that Xu Youyou was filming with big stars, they had been curious and eager to come to the set to take a look.

Speaking of which, both the Liu and then Qin family, including Liu Yanzhi’s family, actually have investments in entertainment industry projects. After all, this was a lucrative business nowadays.

As long as there’s money to be made, businessmen won’t miss out.

But because the children were still very young, they had never actually been to a film set to watch filming before.

Today happened to be a perfect opportunity since Xu Youyou’s scenes weren’t too demanding, and the kindergarten had no classes. So, they all decided to go together!

“Wow, Youyou is so amazing~”

Although the children couldn’t understand the workings of these machines, it didn’t stop them from finding it all very cool.

Similarly, while the children were watching Xu Youyou, other crew members, including Yao Fanyu, who wasn’t in the scene, were also watching the children.

They all looked good, and even Qian Xin, after losing weight, revealed his handsome features, proving the saying that every chubby person was a hidden gem.

“Those kids are all friends of Xu Youyou?”

Yao Fanyu quietly asked the assistant next to her, then muttered under her breath in a barely audible voice, “There’s so many kids, it’s so annoying.”

Even if there would indeed be a scene in the later part of the movie where many kids huddle together shivering, that’s a concern for later.

After acting for so many years, it was the first time Yao Fanyu had seen a child actor invite her playmates to the set. Was this some kind of tourist attraction for them?

But Yao Fanyu also knew that the director must have agreed out of respect for Qin Xiao’s influence. This request wasn’t unreasonable, and even if Xu Youyou had brought her friends without asking him first, the director couldn’t do anything.

Moreover, the director couldn’t shake the feeling that Mother Liu and Mother Qian, who accompanied the children, looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t quite place where he had seen them before.

“Where’s Tuantuan?” Yao Fanyu stopped looking at the children and instead asked the assistant about her daughter’s whereabouts. “She should be arriving soon, right?”

“Sis, if everything goes smoothly, she should be here in about twenty minutes.”

The assistant carefully reported Yao Yunyou’s movements to Yao Fanyu, “The milk tea you requested is also ready. It will be distributed once Miss Yao arrives.”

Yao Fanyu nodded slightly. “When Tuantuan arrives, I should be in the middle of shooting. Take good care of her and chat with the director and the others.”

With such a high-profile production, it’s no wonder they managed to secure both Wei Dong and herself. Yao Fanyu noticed that Yao Yunyou hadn’t been filming any new projects recently, so she decided to have her come over and make herself familiar with the set.

If Yao Fanyu had known in advance that Qin Xiao would be coming, she would have had Yao Yunyou come over that day. But it’s not too late now. Xu Youyou’s filming was about to wrap up, and perhaps Qin Xiao would come by another time.

When the time comes, Tuantuan must perform well!

In the entertainment industry, being supported by someone and not being supported at all were completely different concepts. Even though Yao Fanyu was undoubtedly a well-deserved movie queen, she still falls short compared to those capitalists.

Her daughter’s starting point was higher than her own, so of course Yao Fanyu hoped that Yao Yunyou’s future achievements would surpass her own as well, ideally reaching international acclaim!

———pr

Meanwhile, on the other side, Mother Liu and Mother Qian were busy praising Xu Youyou.

“Youyou’s acting is so good!”

“That’s right. We’ll definitely go watch the movie when it’s released.”

Qin Yiren and Qin Xiao didn’t come today, but Lu Chenjun was there.

Compared to the other three enthusiastic little friends eagerly watching Xu Youyou in the front, Lu Chenjun, who had already watched several scenes, blended into the group of adults.

Listening to the adults praising Xu Youyou, for some reason, Lu Chenjun felt quite happy. Xiao Lu did indeed perform very well, and he didn’t feel the need to feign modesty like some of the adults.

“Hahaha, I asked her if she wanted to act in the future.” Xu Wenyin’s gaze drifted towards Xu Youyou in the distance. “She said she still prefers painting.”

Due to filming requirements, spending about three hours on set every other day, including travel time, can be quite demanding. Sometimes, there were even night shoots, so many extracurricular activities had to be put on hold temporarily.

After experiencing the initial excitement, Xu Youyou quickly made a decision. She realized that she preferred the quietness of painting over acting.

Of course, part of that decision also stems from not wanting Xu Wenyin to always be in such a rush. Xu Youyou mentioned that she could manage on her own, but her mother just couldn’t bear to leave her alone and insisted on accompanying her.

Fortunately, according to the script’s arrangement, Xu Youyou’s filming would wrap up after one more day.

This scene went smoothly as well, taking about an hour to complete. Next up were two crucial scenes. One was depicting a group of children trembling in fear in a dimly lit environment after being abducted.

Xu Youyou needed to show determination and bravery in this scene.

The second one was where the female lead finally found her child, and there was a tearful reunion between mother and daughter. This scene really tests acting skills, as crying was always the most emotionally engaging.

“I wonder if the kids are interested in participating in participating as well?”

The director’s suggestion made the eyes of Liu Miaomiao and the other children widened. Then, in a flash, they looked toward where the parents were sitting, their eyes sparkling with excitement.

This scene wasn’t originally scheduled for today, and the temporary child actors they had arranged weren’t present either. However, upon a reminder from the producer, the director finally remembered why Mother Liu and Mother Qian looked familiar!

Weren’t these the two the wives of the chairmen of Huiyao Real Estate and Xiduo Catering?!

Indeed, wealthy people’s friends were often wealthy as well. But since they didn’t immediately disclose their identities, the director didn’t want to appear too eager by approaching them first.

However, indirectly selling a good idea was still possible.

Who knows, if the two ladies were pleased, they might even consider investing!

When it comes to making movies, no one would complain about having too much money.

The director was feeling quite pleased about Xu Youyou potentially bringing in two investors.

Even if it doesn’t work out this time, there’s always next time. It’s never a bad thing to make connections with a few more investors.

The key was that this scene had relatively dim lighting, and the children’s faces would intentionally be made dirty. Apart from Xu Youyou, the other children didn’t need much acting skill.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to gamble with his own hard work.

As for Mother Liu and Mother Qian, seeing how excited the children were, they naturally wouldn’t refuse either.

In the end, even Lu Chenjun was pulled in to join the group.

Upon learning that they had to intentionally dirty their faces, neat kid Juanjuan almost ran away. But Xu Youyou, who had already guessed what he was thinking, grabbed him tightly and refused to let go.

Lu Chenjun told her, “……Let go.”

Xu Youyou lifted her somewhat dirty little face and gave Lu Chenjun a triumphant smile. “Nope! Today, everyone is a dirty child. Juanjuan can’t run away!”

“That’s right, that’s right! Juanjuan has to join us too~”

What defines a good friend? Of course, it’s ‘when I’m dirty, you can’t be too clean either’!

After Qian Xin changed his clothes, he deliberately brushed against Lu Chenjun. Sensing the ‘murderous’ glare from the other side, the little guy smartly hid behind Xu Youyou and made a funny face at Lu Chenjun. “Hehe, Juanjuan, don’t glare at me. We’re both dirty anyway.”

At just five years old, little Lu Chenjun understood the meaning of a phrase for the first time in his life.

‘Making friends carelessly!’

“Yes, yes, yes, everyone, huddle together!”

Under the director’s command, the children suppressed their excitement and crowded into a makeshift dilapidated room. They waited eagerly for the signal to start.

Mother Liu and the others found it amusing and even took out their phones to snap a few pictures. This made Yao Fanyu, who was supposed to be next but had to continue waiting due to the sudden change of scene, couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly.

In movies like this, there were always confidentiality agreements in place.

Paparazzi attempting to sneak in to take pictures were strictly prohibited, as the production team feared leaked set photos. Even the crew members dare not use their phones to take pictures. These two women seem to have no regard for the rules at all!

But Yao Fanyu had always been accommodating in front of others, so she wouldn’t proactively bring up this issue. Instead, she subtly signaled to her assistant.

The assistant, being very astute, found the producer and politely brought up the matter.

To the assistant’s surprise, the producer waved it off, saying, “It’s okay, they’re just taking pictures of their children.”

The social circles of these wealthy ladies were likely of the same caliber. If they could indeed promote the film in advance through their social networks, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for the production team!

Moreover, spoiling their enthusiasm over such a trivial matter could potentially undermine the director’s rapport with them. After all, what’s the point of selling them on the idea if it’s just going to be for naught?

The assistant, frowning upon hearing those words, discreetly informed Yao Fanyu when the others weren’t paying attention.

“Sis, they’re indulging Xu Youyou too much.”

They were even so tolerant of the friends she brought over. If someone didn’t know better, they might think Xu Youyou was Qin Xiao’s biological daughter.

“Never mind.” Yao Fanyu felt upset too, but she knew there was nothing she could do about it. She changed the subject and asked about her own precious daughter, “Has Tuantuan arrived yet?”

“Almost, almost, I’ll go pick them up now.”

After the assistant left, Yao Fanyu continued to watch the performance of the children.

Especially Xu Youyou!

When she said, with determination, “Mom will definitely come to save me”, her bright eyes sparkled even in the dim yellow light, radiating pure and natural trust in her mother.

This kid…… truly possesses the charisma that every actor dreams of!

If her Tuantuan could also have that, Yao Fanyu was confident that her name would resonate throughout the world.

“Mom.”

“Tuantuan, come here.” The next scene was Yao Fanyu’s. She deliberately brought Yao Yunyou to the producer, greeted him, and then asked Yao Yunyou to wait there obediently. She instructed her assistant to keep an eye on her daughter, then went to the dressing room by herself.

“Tuantuan, take a seat. You’ve grown taller after not seeing you for a few months.” The producer naturally recognized this child star. Although she was only seven years old, she had been in the industry for five years, practically growing up in front of the entire entertainment circle.

However, entering the entertainment industry at such a young age wasn’t necessarily a good thing. Seeing the seven-year-old girl smile as if it had been measured with a ruler, the producer couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

If it were his daughter, he would never bear to let her step into this dyeing vat at such a young age. The entertainment industry was not an easy place to navigate.

“Uncle Chen, is she the little sister who’s playing my mom’s daughter?” Yao Yunyou recognized Xu Youyou at a glance among the group of children.

For some reason, she didn’t quite like the other girl at first sight.

If she hadn’t been two years older, this role would have been hers.

“Yeah.” The producer smiled. “The little girl’s performance is really good, but of course, you’re still better, Tuantuan.”

Now he says this in front of Yao Yunyou, but later, in front of others, the producer definitely wouldn’t say such a thing. He could sense a hint of discontent on Yao Yunyou’s face.

This wasn’t his first time seeing Yao Yunyou; they’ve even worked together before. This child was good in every aspect, but she had a strong desire to win. She always wanted to be the first, and if she wasn’t, she would feel unhappy.

After all, she was still a child, and no matter how well she tried to conceal it, it was still quite apparent to those around her.

The producer didn’t want to make things unpleasant over such a small matter, so he casually praised Yao Yunyou, and sure enough, the little girl’s face immediately lit up with a smile.

“Cut!”

Just then, Xu Youyou and the others successfully finished filming their scene. The children eagerly crowded around the director, excited to see their performances.

Naturally, the director agreed.

Then Xu Youyou and the others saw Yao Yunyou not far from the director.

Because Yao Yunyou was about the same age as herself, Xu Youyou immediately smiled and said, “Hello, are you here to film too?”

“Wow, Youyou, her eyes are a bit like yours!” Liu Miaomiao exclaimed as if she had discovered a new world.

Little did she know, with that one sentence, she offended two people at once.

Yao Yunyou looked at Xu Youyou’s eyes unhappily. Alike? And even if there’s a resemblance, it should be Xu Youyou resembling her, right?

“Not alike!” Yao Yunyou muttered to herself, but Lu Chenjun was more direct. “Xiao Lu’s eyes are prettier!”

Lu Chenjun suspected that there was something wrong with Liu Miaomiao’s eyes, otherwise how could she say such baseless things?

“Yeah, I don’t think so either.” Qian Xin scratched his head, looking back and forth between Xu Youyou and Yao Yunyou. He felt that the girl across from them had a terrifying look in her eyes as if she wanted to devour people.

“That’s right. Miaomiao, you must have seen it wrong.” Liu Yanzhi also felt that Xu Youyou’s eyes were more beautiful and cleaner, but his personality prevented him from saying it out loud like Lu Chenjun.

“Hahaha, they’re both beautiful, they’re both beautiful.” The producer stepped in to defuse the situation. “Aren’t you all here to watch your scene? You can go and watch now.”

The children’s attention was immediately diverted by this remark, and no one cared about the eye issue anymore. After all, it was just a passing comment.

But Yao Yunyou was still very unhappy.

She felt that Xu Youyou was trying to ride on her popularity when it was clear that her own eyes were more beautiful!

Yao Yunyou couldn’t help but move closer to the screen, wanting to see how Xu Youyou’s performance was. Maybe she couldn’t even deliver her lines properly.

However, a few minutes later, as the children finished watching their own performances and were about to go back to change into clean clothes and wipe off the dirt from their faces and hands, Liu Miaomiao accidentally bumped into Yao Yunyou when she turned around.

It was October now, and Yao Yunyou was wearing a white princess dress. Even the slightest bit of dirt was very noticeable on it. Moreover, the dirt on Liu Miaomiao’s clothes was deliberately applied and easily rubbed off with a touch.

“Ah! My dress!”

Being a child, Yao Yunyou couldn’t control her expression when she saw her favorite dress being dirtied. “You must have done it on purpose!”

Liu Miaomiao frowned. “You suddenly stood behind me so Miaomiao didn’t see you.”

If Yao Yunyou had a better attitude, Liu Miaomiao wouldn’t have been so firm. She was the type to respond better to kindness than to forcefulness.

With Yao Yunyou looking at her as if she was such a dirty person, Liu Miaomiao naturally felt angry.

“Sorry, Miaomiao didn’t do it on purpose.” Youyou said, intending to help Yao Yunyou brush off the dirt. However, as she reached out her hand, Yao Yunyou slapped it away.

“Don’t touch me, your hand is so dirty!”

Xu Youyou was taken aback. She was using her clean left hand, which wasn’t dirty.

“What are you doing?!” Seeing that Xu Youyou was being bullied, Liu Miaomiao pushed Yao Yunyou away. “You’re the dirty one! You’re covered in dirt all over!”

Lu Chenjun quickly pulled Xu Youyou over and frowned as he examined her left hand. “Does it hurt?”

Xu Youyou shook her head. “Don’t be angry Juanjuan, it doesn’t hurt.”

Lu Chenjun’s brow remained furrowed despite her words. “Stay away from crazy people next time. It’s not worth it to hurt yourself.” His voice wasn’t low, and everyone around heard it.

Being pushed and called crazy, Yao Yunyou’s composure completely vanished.

“You’re the crazy one! I didn’t use much force. What are you pretending to be pitiful for?!”

The commotion also drew Mother Liu and the others over.

The director and producer on the side were awkwardly trying to mediate, but unfortunately, their efforts didn’t yield much result.

When kids get into arguments, it’s hard to reason with them no matter who tries.

Yao Yunyou, already upset about the comment Liu Miaomiao made earlier about her eyes, completely forgot what her mother told her about not throwing tantrums on set. Now, with these incidents added, she pointed her index finger at Liu Miaomiao’s nose and demanded, “You pay me! Pay me for this dress!”

“Miaomiao will pay for it! Just a broken dress, who cares!”

Xu Youyou was rubbing her left hand and noticed Yao Yunyou reaching out to push Liu Miaomiao. She quickly pulled Liu Miaomiao aside, causing Yao Yunyou to miss and almost fall.

This made Yao Yunyou’s eyes turn red. She felt like everyone was ganging up on her.

At that moment, Liu Miaomiao saw Mother Liu walking over, and with a displeased expression, pointed at Yao Yunyou, saying, “Mom, she tried to push me!”

“You pushed me first!”

“Well, you hit Youyou first.”

“It’s you who……”

Children arguing was all about volume and determination; at this point, what they’re arguing about doesn’t even matter anymore. What mattered was winning.

Xu Wenyin, who was a step behind, looked at Xu Youyou with heartache as she gently touched her hand, wishing she could personally retaliate.

“Mom, Youyou is fine, it doesn’t hurt.”

Xu Youyou herself was very calm. The pain lasted only for a short while, and she believed her mother’s matter was more important.

They couldn’t waste any more time there.

Sharing the same mindset as Xu Youyou was Mother Liu. She glanced at Yao Yunyou, who was being held back by Yao Fanyu’s assistant, and said, “I’ll have someone transfer you the money for the dress. Miaomiao, don’t be angry. Mom will take you to change clothes, okay?”

Mother Liu immediately hit Miaomiao’s sore spot, as she also disliked being dirty herself. So, she stopped arguing and, after giving Yao Yunyou a fierce glare, followed Mother Liu.

Seeing this, Yao Yunyou directly hit the assistant who was holding her twice. “Why aren’t you helping me at all?! You’re so useless, I’ll have my mom fire you!”

This outcry wasn’t subtle; at least the surrounding staff members saw and heard it.

They didn’t show any expression on their faces, but inside, they were all complaining that the girl’s temper was too bad. The media kept praising her as sensible and well-behaved., but now, at the slightest inconvenience, her true colors were revealed. She couldn’t even compare to Xu Youyou.

The little girl didn’t make a big fuss even after being hit for no reason. What a good child.

———pr

Upon coming out after tidying up, Yao Fanyu instantly sensed the strange atmosphere on the scene, especially from those staff members whose eyes seemed particularly evasive.

After waiting aside and listening to the assistant’s report, Yao Fanyu couldn’t help but secretly pinch Yao Yunyou. “Go back to the hotel!”

It was just a dress, yet she caused such an ugly scene. Yao Fanyu couldn’t help but feel that Yao Yunyou had inherited some petty traits from her father.

It seemed that the day after tomorrow was Xu Youyou’s final scene. She needed Yao Yunyou to properly apologize to make amends. It doesn’t really matter who’s right or wrong in this matter; what was important was the attitude shown.

Yao Yunyou was older than those kids, but she lacked any spirit of humility. If this were captured and posted online, it would ruin the image she had worked so hard to cultivate.

———pr

On the other side, as Xu Youyou bid farewell to her friends and returned home with her angry mother, she displayed remarkable understanding. She patted her mother’s shoulder and made a funny face, saying, “Mom, don’t be angry. If you’re angry, you won’t look pretty.”

Xu Wenyin: “……”

“I’m still pretty when I’m angry!”

Seeing that she still had five minutes left, Xu Wenyin decided to pick up Xu Youyou and bring her to the room. Very seriously, she asked, “Why didn’t you fight back when that kid hit you just now?”

If it were Xu Wenyin, she would have fought back on the spot.

Xu Youyou’s kindness was commendable, but if she didn’t know how to fight back when she was hit, Xu Wenyin would start to doubt her own parenting.

Seeing her mother’s serious expression, Xu Youyou didn’t hide anything. “Because Miaomiao had already helped Youyou push the girl back.”

“And there were many of us. If we started fighting, we would be criticized.”

The instructors had already taught them not to gang up on others. Despite Xu Youyou’s young age, she’s quite wise.

“And also,” Xu Youyou paused for a moment, hesitating to express her inner thoughts. “Juanjuan said that when adults are around, it’s best not to fight. We can cry to a close adult and then quietly fight back later.”

Otherwise, no matter whose fault it was, they would be criticized, because, in the eyes of adults, fighting was wrong and deserving of punishment.

Wouldn’t they still be at a disadvantage that way?

But if they didn’t fight back and someone was watching, the other kid’s parents might spank their child a few times themselves to save face and uphold the so-called fairness. They might even force their child to apologize.

If the other kid doesn’t apologize, he/she might continue to be spanked.

No matter how one looked at it, it was better than getting into a direct fight.

Of course, the premise was that they hadn’t been seriously hurt. If the other kid was being extremely unreasonable, like that incident with Wang Hou, Lu Chenjun felt it was appropriate to fight back directly until the other party begged for mercy.

In summary—— Strike when it’s time to strike.

Lu Chenjun felt that with Xu Youyou’s personality, she was really easy to be bullied, so he had been secretly teaching her many tactics all along.

Like this time, Xu Youyou’s intuition told her that getting into a direct fight wasn’t the best choice.

She now told Xu Wenyin all about this complex psychological journey, then looked at her mother somewhat anxiously, not knowing what her mother would say.

Xu Wenyin didn’t say much. She just patted Xu Youyou’s head and said with a sigh, “Juanjuan’s words make sense. Youyou didn’t do anything wrong this time.”

Her thinking was still too straightforward. She doesn’t consider as much as a five-year-old child does. After all, living in human society, not all problems can be solved with force.

However, Lu Chenjun wasn’t an ordinary five-year-old either.

After consoling herself with a single sentence, Xu Wenyin asked Mu Heyao to gather dirt on Yao Fanyu.

Hmph, your daughter bullied mine, so I’ll bully you!

No need to come to blows; let’s just have a ‘civilized exchange’!
