Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

She answered the phone, and Li Yan said pitifully, "Can we spend New Year's Eve together tonight?"

Tang Yu was surprised for a moment, then sent the villa's address.

Su Mingyu asked out of curiosity.

"Why did he come on New Year's Day? Did he have a fight with his family?"

Tang Yu shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but I guess his situation is a bit like ours. He doesn't get along very well with his mother. By the way, he comes from a single-parent family."

Upon hearing this, Su Mingyu felt a mix of emotions and looked at Tang Yu, asking a question.

"Little sister, will you and he end up together? Is it only those from similar family backgrounds who can understand each other?"

Tang Yu gently shook her head.

"Sister, I don't think similar families can necessarily stick together for warmth."

However, Li Yan and I respect each other and have a good relationship, but whether we can stay together in the end depends on fate.

Su Mingyu said with some concern.

"Little sister, is it because our parents left you with psychological trauma that you're only willing to date but afraid to get married?"

Tang Yu felt that Su Mingyu was traumatized by her parents' marriage.

However, it seems to have some impact on me as well.

"I'm not afraid of marriage, I just think marriage should be taken seriously."

Furthermore, I feel I'm still young, and getting married and having children doesn't seem like the life I want.

Su Mingyu was relieved. The development of her career seemed to fill the emptiness in her heart, but sometimes she seemed to envy the scene of other people's families reunited.

"Sis, if a handsome and outstanding guy is pursuing you, you don't need to worry about whether the two of you can end up together."

Dating can be fun; it can even help regulate our hormones.

These words instantly made Su Mingyu laugh.

Half an hour later, Li Yan arrived at Tang Yu's place, carrying a pile of New Year's goods. Su Mingyu was amused.

"It's quite interesting to send New Year's greetings at this time."

Li Yan felt a little embarrassed because it was his first time meeting Su Mingyu, and he was worried that Tang Yu's family would dislike him.

However, after the group sat down and chatted, Tang Yu had the three of them play games together, and they quickly became familiar with each other.

After the vigil ended, Tang Yu took Li Yan to the bedroom to rest.

After taking a bath, Li Yan hugged Tang Yu and asked her a question.

"You don't seem to be planning to ask me why?"

"Often, saying certain things is like tearing open a wound."

"Speak your mind if you want, I'm happy to be your confidant, but if you don't want to talk, that's fine too."

Li Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked Tang Yu a question.

When did Yu Yu realize that her parents didn't love her?

That's too early. You might as well just throw her away as soon as she's born.

“I’ve known this since I was a child. Because they failed to throw the food at me back then, they were reprimanded by the police and had no choice but to give me a bite to eat.”

Li Yan hadn't dared to ask this kind of question before, because sometimes he didn't like others asking him.

However, hearing Tang Yu's tone, he felt relieved.

“Our situation is a little different. Actually, my parents only have me as their son.”

But they divorced when I was seven. My dad had been having an affair for a long time, and that child was only half a year younger than me.

Li Yan had mentioned the issue of single-parent families before.

He also revealed that his mother was later provoked, so after he started elementary school, she forced him to study hard every day and attend tutoring classes on weekends.

"Actually, the reason they divorced was that my dad's son, who was younger than me, was a genius from a young age and had excellent grades."

After starting elementary school, he skipped a grade and later entered a gifted youth class. During those years, my mother heard him praised as a genius a lot.

She was traumatized and forced me to study day and night, wanting me to become a genius too, but I really couldn't do it.

"But I saw how sad my mother was, so I tried my best."

Looking back now, my childhood memories seem bleak. It seems like I was still doing homework after midnight every night, and I could barely keep my eyes open during school days…

Tang Yu nodded. A failed marriage can drive a person crazy.

"What then?"

"Later, my mother remarried and had two more children. She had a happy family, a gentle husband, and lovely children. She got over the hurt from her previous marriage."

It was only then that I realized that it wasn't just my father who loved the younger children more.

Because of the hurt from that marriage, my mother was actually dissatisfied with me. She felt I wasn't good enough, so she preferred her later children and family.

That's when I realized that both of their families were doing well afterward, and I was the only one who was superfluous.

This is why Li Yan is cautious in his actions, and despite being very outstanding and handsome, he is always afraid of being disliked.

The impact of one's family of origin can last a lifetime.

"Why did you suddenly come here today? Did something happen?"

Tang Yu felt that Li Yan had long since come to terms with his parents and probably no longer harbored any expectations.

Something special must have happened today.

"My mom invited a friend's daughter over today, wanting to introduce her to me."

I don't understand why she would do this. I told her I already have a girlfriend.

She suddenly got very angry and asked me if I wanted to be like my dad, only liking pretty girls.

Tang Yu instantly understood Li Yan's distress today.

"So, in that case, my parents do have one redeeming quality: they don't care what I do, they just act like I don't exist."

The two of them burst into laughter; it was a truly horrific joke.

After staying at home for a few days, Tang Yu took Li Yan abroad for skiing.

Instead of worrying about their parents, the two of them should just enjoy their freedom and travel around.

Chapter 15 All Is Well

After the start of the year, Tang Yu's first job was the Lantern Festival Gala, followed by preparing for her new album and appearing on music variety shows.

After early spring, the detective variety show that Tang Yu had taken on last year began filming.

Before the recording of the first episode, the production team chatted with the guests about the recording process and precautions.

Tang Yu laughed out loud while the two were chatting.

"I'm playing the murderer this time. This role is interesting, so I'll be Tang Fuyu!"

After the group started recording, the detective asked everyone to introduce themselves. When it was Tang Yu's turn, she burst out laughing.

"My name is Tang Fuyu, I'm incredibly wealthy, the kind of beautiful and powerful CEO with a fortune of over 100 million! The deceased is my husband..."

After the others introduced themselves, the group began searching for evidence.

Then, the guest, Dr. Xie, who is also the actor Xie Feng, found intimate photos of the two of them when they were in school, as well as their chat history, in his room.

"That's right, we were each other's first love, but her father broke us up and married her off to a man of equal social standing."

We reconnected last year, and I found out she was having a hard time. I wanted to help her escape the misery of her marriage…

Then, several other creditors and associates related to the deceased introduced themselves.

As the game progressed, Tang Yu and Xie Feng emerged as the most suspicious, leading to a final vote.

In the end, Xie Feng won one more vote than Tang Yu and was voted the murderer.

Tang Yu won the first round.

After the show's recording ended, a group of people had a late-night snack party. Tang Yu was eating an extremely spicy hot pot when Xie Feng curiously asked her something.

"Don't you have to record the final of the singing competition tomorrow? Won't eating spicy food affect your voice as a singer?"

"Theoretically, it should have an impact, but I'm probably in good health, so the impact on me is negligible."

Tang Yu ate the hot pot meat and looked at Xie Feng, who could only eat the clear broth. She smiled and asked him a question.

"Can't you eat spicy food?"

"I can handle spicy food, but isn't there a live broadcast tomorrow? As a guest performer, I can't let you down."

Tang Yu looked at the person next to her with a shocked expression. She had recorded so many music variety shows, but she had never met this person on a show before.

"So we're going to be recording a show together again tomorrow, that's quite a coincidence. Will you be coming to the next episode of the detective show?"

After Tang Yu asked the question, Xie Feng smiled and took out his phone.

"Let's exchange contact information first, and then I'll tell you whether I'll be in the next episode or not."

The second day was the live broadcast of the match.

Tang Yu participated in the first season, so every year when a new season finale is held, she is always invited by the production team to participate.

Most of the time, Tang Yu would not refuse; personal relationships within the martial arts world were the most important thing.

This was the first time Tang Yu had heard Xie Feng sing. It was a deep, magnetic voice, and his singing had a unique charm.

After the live broadcast of the match ended, Tang Yu invited Xie Feng over for dinner.

"You messaged me asking me to grab some late-night snacks. Is it because I sang terribly today and you want to give me some pointers?"

Tang Yu laughed after hearing this.

"So, do you want me to give you pointers, or do you want me to praise you?"

"Of course, you should praise me, preferably with flattery that makes me so happy I lose all sense of direction."
