Entertainment: Starting with a complete collapse

"..."

Zhao Liyuan opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately didn't.

It's not Xu Ying who has face; it's her son Tongtong who has face, and also the face she gained by giving Huang Minsheng a son.

Thanks to Xu Ying... last year, she couldn't get the lead role in "Extreme Job" from Huang Min.

Anyway, all the face-saving words today were said by her best friend, which actually had no effect at all. As for her not participating, she really had no intention of taking on variety shows, but since Huang Minfei asked her to be a mentor, she would do it.

Taking on such an occasional role is indeed harmless to one's acting career.

In particular, Zhao Liyuan also had something she wanted to discuss with Huang Min, which was to ask him to help her think of a side business. Seeing Zhao Liyuan's expression, Xu Ying knew that she had agreed, and Xu Ying smiled and said, "Thanks, darling."

"Don't"

Zhao Liyuan quickly stopped her.

"Let's go check out that bastard's house."

Xu Ying took the stroller from Zhao Liyuan and pushed it westward.

"Don't cause trouble."

Zhao Liyuan reminded her.

"What a load of nonsense!"

Xu Ying replied, "Do you know what that bastard said when he dragged me to your second bedroom last night?"

"What?"

Zhao Liyuan asked curiously.

"He said if I didn't obey, he would stab me to death."

Xu Ying laughed and said, "I've seen men threaten women in all sorts of ways on short videos, but I've never seen a man do it this way. But... you don't know, if that bastard really doesn't care, I really can't handle it. Let me tell you this! Sometimes I don't even know when I fall asleep. Last night was a little better. That bastard knew I was pregnant and was quite gentle, but even so, I fell asleep after only a few words. Maybe it's because pregnancy makes me tired."

Zhao Liyuan's almond-shaped eyes flickered slightly.

She finally understood why Huang Min said she had improved her stamina. It was probably because one night last year, she didn't fall asleep afterward, but stared at him with hateful eyes.

"Since they've already said that, what can I say?"

Xu Ying sighed, "Besides, she's been with Kim Ji-mi for much longer than me, and she even had a daughter with that bastard first. To put it bluntly, if you really think about it, I'm the mistress."

You're overthinking it.

"That's what Zhao Liyuan said after she realized what was happening."

:

Xu Ying is not the legitimate wife, and only Huang Min himself knows where she ranks. However, she is definitely not the mistress, no matter how she is ranked.

"I didn't overthink it at all."

Xu Ying said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do about it, it's the truth. To think that I, the dignified Xu Ying, would one day fall to the level of a mistress. But who told that bastard... never mind, you wouldn't understand anyway. In the future, when I look for a man, I'll definitely choose someone like that bastard. If you're curious, I'll take off his shirt and let you see sometime. Those muscles look really strong. We're best friends, so I was originally reluctant, but since another woman can appreciate that bastard's physique, I'll let you appreciate it too. But let me make it clear beforehand, it's just pure appreciation. You can treat it as appreciating a work of art."

"Not interested"

Zhao Liyuan shook her head and refused, saying, "Please don't bring up this kind of thing in front of me again. You're like this yourself, don't drag me down with you."

It's not like I haven't seen it before.

Since you've already seen it, there's nothing else worth watching.

It's possible that Huang Min hasn't been exercising much this past year, and his muscles are even smaller than last year. However, judging from Xu Ying's condition, she probably hasn't neglected her training.

If that's the case, Zhao Liyuan really admires Huang Min. Apart from his lack of self-discipline in his private life, he is quite self-disciplined in other aspects. The more you train, the more you know how difficult it is to overcome your own laziness.

Just like herself, if it weren't for having another movie to film, she definitely wouldn't have chosen to exercise. As the two were talking, they pushed the stroller into Huang Min's yard. Zhao Liyuan glanced at the two well-maintained vegetable plots and saw that a few tomatoes were ripe. She reached out and picked two, rinsed them with the tap water in the yard, and handed one to Xu Ying. When Xu Ying shook her head and said, "I don't eat the vegetables she grows," she didn't insist and ate one herself.

Kim Ji-mi tends to both of these small vegetable plots.

I don't know where she bought the tomato seedlings, but they tasted almost the same as the ones Zhao Liyuan ate when she was a child. If she weren't reluctant to tear up the floorboards she had laid in her yard, and if she didn't have much time to grow vegetables, Zhao Liyuan would have liked to learn from Kim Ji-mi and grow vegetables in her own yard.

With these two small vegetable plots, it really feels like her hometown.

Upon entering Huang Min's living room on the first floor, Zhao Liyuan saw Huang Min's family having dinner. Kim Ji-mi seemed to pause for a moment when she saw Zhao Liyuan and Xu Ying pushing the stroller. Zhao Liyuan smiled and said, "No need to entertain us, we've already eaten. You all eat."

"Sister Yuanyuan, Sister Ying"

Huang Yun stood up and brought a chair for each of them.

"Let me hug you."

Xu Ying gestured to the little girl being held in Jin Zhimei's arms. To her surprise, Huang Min and Jin Zhimei's daughter weren't shy at all; they even opened their arms for her to hold. Xu Ying laughed and said, "You're really brave. Aren't you afraid I'll sell you to some remote mountain village?"

Feeling her son stir in the stroller, Zhao Liyuan quickly finished her tomato, put the other one she was holding on the table, and lifted the stroller curtain to see that her son had actually woken up. Zhao Liyuan reached out and picked him up, and saw the little girl being held in Xu Ying's arms looking over.

"Xiao Bao, don't reach out, this is your little brother."

Seeing her daughter reach out to grab Zhao Liyuan's son, Kim Ji-mi quickly reminded her.

While eating, Huang Min subconsciously glanced at Kim Ji-mi. A few days ago, Kim Ji-mi's reaction seemed like she knew something, but later Huang Min asked his sister, Huang Yun, who said she hadn't told her sister-in-law at all, so Huang Min had completely forgotten about it. But now, Kim Ji-mi's words "brother"... Huang Min felt that he might be overthinking it.

After her mother slapped her hand, Xiao Bao stopped reaching out. She struggled to get down from Xu Ying's arms, and Xu Ying helped her out of the restaurant and into the living room on the first floor.

Upon witnessing this scene, Huang Yun quietly gave her older brother a thumbs up.

The look in her eyes when she looked at her older brother was full of admiration. He had actually managed to get it done. After dinner, Huang Yun took Zhao Liyuan's son from her arms and carried him in her arms as they went upstairs together.

:

Upon reaching the second floor, Xu Ying placed Xiao Bao on the playmat and looked around the living room of the dog's house. Huang Min then said, "Don't bother looking, this house was decorated like this when I bought it."

Entering the study, Huang Min printed out the script he had written, which was about halfway done, and handed it to Zhao Liyuan, saying, "It's not finished yet, but you can take a look first."

Zhao Liyuan took it instinctively.

Xu Ying sat down next to her best friend, nudged her arm, and said, "I have a lot of influence, don't I? I haven't even said anything yet, which means I'm already here."
