In Yún Fēng’s eyes, as an orphan from a welfare institution, it was an immense blessing for Yun Xiaoyu to be chosen by the Xu family!
Since they were father and daughter, it was only right for her to repay him by bringing him money and resources!
But Ming Zhi didn’t let him succeed. She hugged the little one tightly and whispered, “Close your eyes.”
Little Yu was filled with fear, her small body trembling uncontrollably.
Yet her sister’s voice gave her a fleeting sense of security. She buried her forehead in Ming Zhi’s embrace and obediently closed her eyes.
Ming Zhi said coldly, “I won’t hand Little Yu over to you!”
As the flash was no longer effective, Mù Fěi’s expression darkened, and she stopped taking photos.
Mù Fěi pressed aggressively, “Ming Zhi, what do you mean by this? Little Yu is our daughter. Would we ever harm her?”
Yún Fēng also put on a hypocritical act, saying, “Zhizhi, I understand your concern for Little Yu, but we are her parents…”
Guided by this couple, Mù Fěi’s fans in the live stream room became even more active!
[Does the Ming family live by the sea? They sure meddle a lot!]
[Ming Zhi is just plain crazy, isn’t she? Does she really think she’s something special?]
[The father wants to hold his child, but she refuses to let go. Has she ever considered the child’s feelings?]
[This is hilarious. Would parents ever harm their own child? Ming Zhi must have a persecution complex!]
The live stream room was flooded with criticism. Even some neutral viewers wondered if Ming Zhi was overreacting.
Taking photos for keepsakes—isn’t that perfectly normal?
Hugging someone when they cry—isn’t that heartwarming?
Ming Zhi wouldn’t let them take photos or hold the child, acting like a stubborn, unreasonable brat!
But the next second, Ming Zhi actually sneered:
“Alright, alright, you want to take photos? Fine! Then let’s take as many as you want!”
She snatched the camera from Mù Fěi’s hands and started snapping photos of the couple frantically.
The blinding flash went off repeatedly, not only hurting their eyes but also making the audience in the live stream room complain that their eyes were about to go blind!
As the camera was practically shoved in her face, Mù Fěi lost her composure and shrieked, “Ming Zhi, what are you doing?! Are you insane?!”
Ming Zhi played dumb, saying, “Auntie, didn’t you want to take photos for keepsakes? I’m kindly helping you take photos. What are you unhappy about?”
Mù Fěi was furious. Who takes photos by shoving the camera in someone’s face?!
Just as Yún Fēng was about to speak, Ming Zhi shoved the camera right in front of his eyes. The rapid flashes made it impossible for him to keep his eyes open. “No, Ming Zhi, you can’t take photos like this either…”
“You’re right.” Ming Zhi nodded, as if suddenly realizing something. “Uncle, you need to pose! Come on, make a hook! Give me a peace sign! Make a heart!”
Yún Fēng nearly choked on his own anger. What man poses so much for photos?!
In the live stream room, the controversy grew even louder.
[What kind of mental state is Ming Zhi in?!]
[So rude. How can someone like this debut? The entertainment industry is doomed!]
[@Program Team, your guest is crashing and burning like this, and you still won’t replace her?]
But despite the criticism, the number of viewers in Ming Zhi’s personal live stream room kept rising.
Perhaps watching drama and chaos is an irresistible human instinct.
And so, everyone witnessed Ming Zhi’s daily routine of going wild online.
Whenever Mù Fěi and Yún Fēng opened their mouths, she would shove the camera in their faces and snap away!
Before long, both of their eyes were stinging so badly that tears kept flowing. Because of Ming Zhi’s background and the ongoing live stream, they couldn’t openly lose their temper.
If it weren’t for the live stream, they would have torn Ming Zhi apart!
“What are you hiding from? Keep going!” Ming Zhi raised an eyebrow, looking utterly arrogant.
She accidentally bumped into Little Yu. The next moment, a soft little paw skillfully wrapped around her thigh, and the young child timidly asked, “Sister, are you taking photos?”
“Yes, we’re having so much fun taking pictures,” Ming Zhi replied without batting an eye.
Mù Fěi: …!!
Yún Fēng: …!!
Are you blind?! Where exactly are they having fun?!
Little Yu hesitated for a long time, as if going through an intense internal struggle, before cautiously saying, “Sister, please stop taking photos. Taking photos for too long makes your eyes hurt.”
Ming Zhi never expected that the one to stop her would be Yun Xiaoyu!
The production team and the audience were also stunned.
Ming Zhi gently coaxed, “Little Yu, don’t you like taking photos?”
“No…” The child still kept her eyes tightly shut. “Taking photos is so tiring, and my eyes hurt so much…”
Ming Zhi looked up and glared fiercely at Yún Fēng and his wife. “Did you hear that? Even a child knows that taking photos hurts the eyes. Don’t you two adults know that?”
Mù Fěi retorted righteously, “What does a child know?!”
“She’s a child, but are you children too? Even I, who just met Little Yu, noticed that she’s afraid of the camera! Afraid of the flash! As her parents, are you so stupid that you know nothing, or are you deliberately provoking Little Yu?”
Though young, Ming Zhi had a strong presence. Her questions were sharp and powerful, each word hitting hard!
The audience in the live stream room suddenly realized—
When Director Chu attached the camera to Little Yu, she showed resistance;
It was only when Mù Fěi kept taking photos of her that Little Yu began to scream in fear.
[Little Yu is afraid of cameras? But I’ve bought children’s clothing she endorsed before. She used to be a child model!]
[If the little one is forced to take photos even though she’s afraid of cameras, how devastating that must be… Oh my, I suddenly feel so sorry for her…]
[I can speak on this! My relative’s child is a child model! The workload is huge! They have to shoot over a dozen outfits at a time and constantly pose! Shooting for several hours is just normal!]
[You’re all so dramatic. Which worker isn’t tired? She’s lucky to earn money as a child model—how many people get that chance? Who is she to be picky? Afraid of cameras and flashes, how pretentious!]
[??? Hey, you there, she’s only three and a half! You really hold others to saintly standards while excusing yourself like a scoundrel!]
…
The live stream room erupted into chaos, while the living room remained tense.
Mù Fěi and Yún Fēng both looked rather displeased.
If they admitted it was intentional, their carefully crafted personas would crumble in front of the netizens!
But if they admitted they were just clueless, they’d still look utterly foolish in front of the live stream audience!
Damn Ming Zhi! If it weren’t for her, they would have already successfully sent Little Yu to the Xu family. How could they have ended up in such an awkward situation?!
Yún Fēng steeled himself and slapped his own face, though the force was light, careful not to hurt himself. He said with a pained expression, “I’m such an incompetent father. All this time, I never realized Little Yu was afraid of cameras!”
Ming Zhi rolled her eyes so hard they nearly went back into her head, her tone dripping with sarcasm: “You only know to turn when the car hits the tree! You only know to regret when you’re sentenced for a crime! You only think to wipe your snot when it’s already dripping into your mouth!”
“…” Yun Feng’s expression stiffened, forcing an awkward, dry laugh.
【Ahhh so Ming Zhi wasn’t being unreasonable—she was protecting Little Yu in her own way!】
There were still some clear-headed audience members in the live stream room, and they caught on immediately!
Ming Zhi had simply turned the tables on the couple, treating them the same way they had treated the child!
But if two adults could be afraid of flashlights and posing, what about a three-and-a-half-year-old child?
Wasn’t her way of showing fear just screaming and crying?
What was even more heartbreaking was that, even though the little one might have been hurt before, she still stopped Ming Zhi from treating Yun Feng and his wife the same way!
Thinking about such a kind and adorable little dumpling possibly being forced to be a child model, countless audience members felt their hearts shatter!
【I can’t bear to imagine if Ming Zhi hadn’t been here, whether Little Yu would still be forced to be a child model in the future…】
【Isn’t it normal for children this age to cry and fuss? It’s Little Yu being this well-behaved that’s abnormal!】
【Childhood delirium requires comprehensive evaluation, and it’s not an incurable disease either. Why do Actress Mu and her husband seem to treat it like a terminal illness… Have they even taken her to a professional medical institution for diagnosis?】
The audience no longer blindly believed Yun Feng and his wife; instead, a seed of doubt had been planted in their minds.
Were they really as concerned about Little Yu as they claimed?
Then why was it that Ming Zhi could notice Little Yu’s fear of cameras, while they remained unaware of it?
In the living room.
Yun Feng shamelessly admitted his mistake, trying to downplay the incident and sweep it under the rug.
He was burning with anxiety—without a suitable excuse, how could he snatch Little Yu away from Ming Zhi?
He had already promised the Xu family. If he angered them, the consequences would be more than he could bear!
Mu Fei, meanwhile, was inwardly cursing Ming Zhi’s ancestors for eighteen generations. To maintain her image and dignity as a top actress, she couldn’t openly send Little Yu to the Xu family. Instead, she needed a reasonable excuse first.
The plan she had originally discussed with her husband was: provoke with a camera—Yun Xiaoyu has an episode—send her to a medical institution—the public gradually forgets she ever adopted a daughter.
But then Ming Zhi had to show up and ruin everything!
Not only did she prevent them from sending away that wretched girl Yun Xiaoyu, but she also made her husband lose face in front of so many viewers in the live stream!
Didn’t she know that a man’s pride was everything?
Damn it, why did it have to be Ming Zhi who came to their house for the internship?
If only it had been any other guest!
Just then, a wailing voice came from the doorway: “My mom, my grandma, my cotton pants, my coat, my uncle, my grandpa, my socks, my shoes—sis! Where’s my sis?”
As soon as the voice appeared, many viewers recognized him.
【Hahaha what an elegant state of mind】
【Why is Lin Senyu, that chatterbox even dogs can’t stand, here?】
【Let me introduce everyone: Lin Senyu, the universe’s number one internet celebrity. He’s got looks for days, and brains… well, he’s got looks for days】
A flashily dressed teenager in various trendy brands hobbled in on crutches, shouting at Ming Zhi: “Sis! Your little brother is here!”
Ming Zhi’s disgust was written all over her face as she turned away, pretending not to know him.
Lin Senyu was thunderstruck. “Sis, you don’t recognize me? I’m your cousin Lin Senyu! We’re family!”
The audience was somewhat surprised.
[Huh, so Lin Senyu and Ming Zhi are actually relatives?]
With so many people watching, Ming Zhi found it difficult to ignore him. The girl gave a slight nod and asked indifferently, “What do you want?”
“Don’t even ask! You have no idea how terrifying the family I’m interning with is! There’s a vicious dog inside, no entry allowed! Look, see where it bit me! It almost drew blood!”
As he spoke, Lin Senyu rolled up his pant leg to show off his barely scratched wound.
“…” A few minutes later, it would probably have healed.
“Ah—these must be Uncle and Aunt.” Lin Senyu had a severe case of social confidence disorder, and in just a few words, he was already treating Yún Fēng and his wife like family. He poured out his grievances, “Uncle, Aunt, can we swap? Let me be your intern family instead!”
Mù Fěi: …!!
Yún Fēng: …!!
