Wang Ying naturally saw this too. She quickly spent money to hire someone to comment on it, wanting to reverse the public opinion.
However, this tactic was not that useful. Faced with these comments trying to defend Tan Si, the netizens sensed that something was wrong.
Netizen A: “Why are so many people on Tan Si’s side?”
Netizen B: “We’re discussing the matter of fairness itself. So many comments only know how to put in a good word for Tan Si. One look and you can tell that they were hired.”
Netizen C: “We were just stating the facts. Tan Si’s fans can’t sit still anymore.”
Wang Ying only knew how to hire people to praise Tan Si. She did not realize that the netizens were really discussing seriously. They were not even targeting the celebrity in question. They were just discussing the definition of fairness. Most felt that there was no need to be too calculative in the variety show. It was fine as long as the public was happy. After all, this was not a competitive variety show.
The large number of praises and comments made the netizens feel annoyed. Some people even posted, “When will the Internet army disappear?”
Seeing that this matter was getting more and more discussed, Wang Ying did not know how to deal with it. She quickly recalled the people she had hired and did nothing to make the popularity dissipate over time.
This caused the matter to ferment and eventually blow up.
Tan Si, who was in the mountain village, still did not know. She crossed her arms and looked at Tan Nian standing on the box. She cursed Jiang An and the other two children ten thousand times in her heart. If the two of them had not interrupted, things would not have turned out like this.
Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi were very pleased with themselves. The two of them had said that on purpose. Although they did not know about the matter between Tan Si and their mother, this auntie was really too annoying. She kept delaying the production team’s progress.
Zou Bai also realized this and whispered into Jiang An’s ear, “Look at our children. They’re so smart, even at this young age.”
“Are you trying to say that they’re like you?” Jiang An asked.
Zou Bai smiled and looked at her. “They’re like you. The reason why the children are like this is all because of your guidance.”
He had always felt guilty towards Jiang An and the children. He felt that he should have found them earlier. Therefore, he had no objections to the children’s upbringing and surnames. He handed everything to Jiang An.
It was also because of his attitude that Jiang An got together with him so quickly.
If Zou Bai had wanted to fight with her for custody of the children or suggested that the children change their surnames, she would never have had any contact with Zou Bai.
That action would mean that the other party did not respect her and was denying the fact that she had taken care of the children for so long, only treating the children as objects to be snatched.
[Ahhh, are Jiang An and Zou Bai whispering to each other?!]
[They’re so close. I wonder what they’re talking about.]
[It’s so sweet.]
[There must be something between the two of them.]
[But Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi were so smart just now. They made Tan Si speechless.]
[They must have received a good education at home.]
[Tan Nian was born around the same time as them. Why is he like that?]
[You’ll have to ask Tan Si.]
The children were all standing on the stage and ready. They were just waiting for their families to choose and execute.
Everyone had ten boxes in front of them. There was a high chance that they would step on a box with a balloon. Li Sheng squatted down and looked at his daughter with worry. “Xiao Ai, it’s fine if you don’t manage to step on it. Just be careful and don’t get injured.”
His tone was filled with worry, as if Li Ai was not going to step on the box but about to dig a landmine. He was just short of a few tears.
His teary eyes did not match his usual appearance at all. He was no longer as cold as before.
Meng Nuan quickly helped her husband up. “Xiao Ai will definitely be fine. Don’t cry.”
Li Ai also held her father’s hand and said, “I will complete the mission outstandingly.”
In comparison, it was even harder on Liu Yan. He held his daughter’s hand and said, “Don’t step on it too hard. It won’t be good if you sprain your ankle.”
Liu Mu rolled his eyes. “Xiao Yue usually likes to rock climb. This is nothing.”
However, Liu Yan couldn’t listen to a single word. He continued to remind his daughter and didn’t stop for a full five minutes. It was Liu Yue who couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Dad, I want to be a soldier. You’re too unambitious to say all these things.”
After saying that, she turned to look at the box in front of her, looking very excited. Liu Yan looked at Liu Mu. “Brother, does Xiao Yue despise me?”
“It wouldn’t hurt to nag a bit less,” Liu Mu said..
