Across from them, Xue Mingyuan and Shi Yu chimed in to support Lin Momo: “Yeah, you could hire a nanny. That’s a good solution. With a nanny, you wouldn’t have to work so hard.”
Ning Yu gently closed her eyes.
These people had managed to render her speechless in just three sentences.
Enough already!
Bullet comments:
“When will Lin Momo understand? What we’re angry about isn’t him lying in bed as soon as he gets home—it’s his attitude toward his wife and child. Maybe you should just shut up.”
“What are you all talking about? Hiring a nanny? Aren’t mortgages money? Car loans money? Raising children money? For an ordinary person who doesn’t have much money to begin with, how can they afford a nanny?”
“Lin Momo, you used to be an ordinary person yourself. How could you not understand how difficult life is for ordinary families? Now that you’re a big star with money, you shouldn’t forget what it was like before…”
“These big stars really crack me up. Do you think everyone earns as much in a day as ordinary people do in a month? Can’t you use your brains? Who told you we all have nannies at home? I didn’t know that!”
“Going online and seeing the faces of these ‘208s’—so beautiful when they talk down to people from their high horses. I’m laughing at my own poverty.”
Meanwhile, Lin Momo, Shi Yu, and Xue Mingyuan didn’t see anything wrong with what they were saying. The three of them continued to chime in, lost in their fantasies.
“Just hire a nanny outright. That way, the misunderstanding can be cleared up. How great would that be?”
“Yeah, with someone helping out, everyone would be more relaxed and have more time to focus on their own things! Then you can make changes, and the results will be much better.”
The three of them chattered on and on, completely immersed in their beautiful fantasies and unable to extricate themselves.
Xiao Zhang stood to the side, silent and looking awkward. Ning Yu stayed by Xiao Zhang’s side the whole time, carefully observing her emotions.
Su Yuan turned her head away, looking somewhat speechless. Even Xu Yize was dumbfounded. He really wanted to remind Lin Momo that she shouldn’t speak like this.
He knew that his Momo had always been kind-hearted.
But talking like this would get her criticized.
Especially now, with Ning Yu here.
If Ning Yu were to criticize Lin Momo later, what should he do? After all, Fu Jingchen was here too…
“Why don’t the three of you pool your money to hire a nanny for them? Hire one for three to five years. Otherwise, just shut up and stop talking.”
Ning Yu didn’t bother hiding the disdain on her face. “What you think is a small matter might not be easy for others to achieve. I’m not saying being a star makes me superior—it’s just that our salaries are completely different. In a situation like this, you should look at the problem from her perspective, not from what you think.”
The Director, sitting behind the camera, trembled in fear.
Was this something she could say?!
She was practically saying the blunt truth: “I’m a star, I earn a lot of money, and I make more in a day than ordinary people do in a month.”
Although there was nothing wrong with saying that, the audience already had some grievances against these “208s.”
What should they do now?!
Before the Director could finish thinking about it, Ning Yu started up again.
Ning Yu’s anger was flaring up. “Sometimes, coming alone to record a variety show feels pretty helpless. I really want to buy you a book called The Power of Empathy.”
Isn’t it obvious who deserves sympathy?
A father who’s always invisible—that’s the most disgusting thing.
Here she goes again!The director nervously checked the barrage comments.
At first glance—huh? He froze!
Barrage comments:
“That makes so much sense… She’s actually quite genuine, at least she knows her own limits. Rather than listening to those fake, well-meaning suggestions, it’s better to hear a few honest words from Ning Yu.”
“Holy crap, I’m laughing so hard I could puke. First time seeing a celebrity talk like this, but why is it so funny? The power of empathy is hilarious too—I also think Lin Momo and the others have zero empathy skills.”
“What she said is the truth. Celebrities already have high-paying jobs with no worries about food or shelter. Lin Momo and the others acting all righteous while saying these things is meaningless. The real issue is the father’s attitude toward the family—don’t shift the focus. It’s not about who works harder, but about having the wrong attitude.”
Who would have thought that Ning Yu, who was harshly criticized before the show even aired, would have everyone’s address for her change from “that green tea” to “Sister Ning” in just half a day?
It goes to show, netizens’ thoughts are hard to predict.
Meanwhile, Fu Jingchen, sitting behind the director, was in a state of blissful emotion from start to finish.
Was this really his sister, whose love-struck brain was comparable to Xu Qin’s inability to live without a man?
Was this really the silly sister the whole family despaired over but could only helplessly dote on?
He still remembered how Ning Yu had argued with him just last week.
Saying things like, “I’ll only marry Brother Ze in this lifetime,” calling him “Brother Ze” with every breath, making his blood boil a hundred and eight degrees hotter.
If the world were a group chat, he would have left right then.
What on earth did Ning Yu see in that idiot Xu Yize?
But now, his sister’s love-struck brain had been cured. She seemed more spirited, and her words were logical and clear.
He never expected his sister to be so sharp-minded now. Hearing her speak like this truly opened his eyes.
Even from such a distance, Fu Jingchen’s loving gaze was unmistakable. Ning Yu tried hard to avoid it—this was a live recording, and she didn’t want to stir up any rumors with her own brother.
She only glanced briefly in Fu Jingchen’s direction, her eyes carrying a subtle warning: Bro, tone it down.
Coincidentally, that very glance was caught by Su Yuan.
Su Yuan raised an eyebrow, discreetly looking toward the man sitting opposite Ning Yu. He wore a simple white shirt, but his expensive wristwatch and demeanor suggested he wasn’t just anyone.
Moreover, he was sitting with the director. Rumor had it the show had a mysterious investor—now it seemed it was him. He looked to be in his twenties, exuding a sharp aura, but he was smiling when looking at Ning Yu.
Oh~
What a perfect couple.
So it was the boyfriend coming to watch his girlfriend film a variety show. No wonder Ning Yu didn’t like Xu Yize anymore.
A mature man was far better than a little brother like Xu Yize. She had to admit, she admired Ning Yu’s taste.
Su Yuan rarely smiled, but this time she gave a mysterious grin. Sis, I get it.
A huge misunderstanding!
Ning Yu wanted to explain, but this was a live broadcast. And in the next second, a voice she really didn’t want to hear spoke up.
“Their intentions were good. The real issue is that Xiao Zhang is struggling alone at home. Since there’s a problem, we should think of ways to solve it. How to prevent Xiao Zhang from being too exhausted alone at home is the key point—isn’t that right?”
