Chapter 103 Finding Another Way
Wang Xiulan's shout startled Chen Yuan.
This old lady can be quite frightening when she gets angry.
Wang Xiulan gave a firm order: "Your grandmother is having a big birthday celebration, and your granddaughter-in-law isn't here. What kind of talk is that? What will outsiders think of our family? They might even think you two are divorced."
Chen Yuan: This is called having a completely wrong derivation process but a correct result.
"Even if she's busy, it won't work. Anyway, by the eighth of next month, all three of you must be there. If one of you is missing, I'll hold you accountable."
Chen Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to find another reason.
But he swallowed the words back down.
Not to mention that every reason requires countless lies to cover it up.
The main problem is that if I object too strongly, my mom will definitely notice something is wrong.
Chen Yuan could only adopt a roundabout policy.
"Okay, I understand. I'll definitely do it then."
Wang Xiulan's expression softened slightly, and she placed another piece of pork rib into Chen Yuan's bowl, her tone becoming much gentler.
"Don't blame me for speaking a little loudly, it's just that your grandma hasn't seen Lin Wei and Youyou in a long time. It's her big birthday, and we have to fulfill the wishes of the elderly, right?"
Finally, Wang Xiulan added one more sentence.
"Your grandma's health has always been poor. How many more birthdays does she have left?"
Chen Yuan was completely speechless.
He had already devised a plan in his mind.
When that day comes, just say that Lin Wei is sick and can't get out of bed. If all else fails, have someone photoshop a picture of Lin Wei lying in a hospital bed receiving an IV drip.
Mom will definitely have nothing to say then.
He was brainstorming.
Wang Xiulan seemed to remember something and asked casually.
"How's your wife doing lately? She seemed a bit thinner when she came back last time. If you're planning to have a second child, you'd better take care of your health."
Chen Yuan almost choked on his saliva and coughed a few times.
"You silly child, can't you eat a little slower?" Wang Xiulan patted his back reproachfully.
Chen Yuan paused for a moment, his face turning somewhat pale.
"Having one child is enough. Neither of us has the time or energy right now, so I'm not considering having a second child."
Wang Xiulan said, "Fine, whatever you want."
After finishing the meal.
Chen Da held Chen Youyou and played with her in the living room, while Chen Yuan helped clear the dishes.
Wang Xiulan pulled him to her side and asked in a low voice.
"I felt something was off about you during lunch today. Your dad isn't here right now. Tell me the truth, you really didn't argue with your wife, did you?"
"No, really."
"You're not the one with a long face?"
"...I was just tired."
Unable to get any answers, Wang Xiulan had no choice but to give up.
As night falls, the city's neon lights come on.
Despite his parents' strong insistence, Chen Yuan and Chen Youyou stayed at his home.
Because of Chen Youyou's presence, the whole house was lively and bustling.
Chen Yuan was immersed in the warmth and happiness of his family environment, completely unaware that a huge uproar had already taken place outside.
More than 8 o'clock in the evening.
Sweetie's official account released the carefully edited video on time.
[A cold, aloof boss rejects you three times – is your ordinary breakfast really that delicious?]
The video begins with a clip of Chen Yuan coldly refusing.
That cold, hard "No" was very clear.
What followed was the long queue that formed in the early hours of the morning, which was part of the entire evaluation process.
It must be said that Sister Sweetie's review is indeed very professional, and her word choice is also very appropriate and vivid.
In addition, it already had a large audience, and the number of views reached one million in less than half an hour.
However, the trend in the comments section completely spiraled out of control.
This script looks obviously fake. Who will be fooled? How can such a small shop recoup its costs by hiring such a big influencer?
The script is so obviously scripted; they're willing to make up anything.
The breakfast shop downstairs from my apartment doesn't have such a long line. Please note, our neighborhood is very large, and there's only this one breakfast shop.
Those steamed buns looked pretty ordinary, and the color was quite pale; they didn't look very appetizing.
How much would it cost to hire so many extras?
Is this guy the boss? He's so handsome, yet he took the wrong path by opening a breakfast shop. Was he hired by the boss?
[This boss is such a phony, with such a terrible attitude, yet so many people still eat there. It must be fake.]
The doubts came like a tidal wave.
At this time.
Wang Xiaoya had just finished showering and was wrapped in a bathrobe, lying on the sofa scrolling through her phone.
Upon seeing the video, she was initially delighted, but after reading the comments section, she became furious.
"How can you say that about Boss Chen!"
She sat up straight immediately and started typing rapidly.
"Seriously, it's really delicious! I eat their breakfast every morning. There are no actors, no script, it's all real!"
Unfortunately, Wang Xiaoya was outnumbered and her message was quickly buried after it was posted.
She was indignant and immediately sent messages to several colleagues who had eaten breakfast with the members.
Yu Xiaoyu was the first to reply.
[I've been fighting for 5 minutes already, and these people are still chasing after me and cursing at me. It's infuriating!]
Tang Keke followed closely behind.
[Immediate support, commenting now, trust in my fighting prowess!]
Besides Wang Xiaoya, some young people in the community also joined in having breakfast with Chen Yuan.
[I'm not kidding, I'm a regular customer, it's really delicious, and there's absolutely no script involved!]
All their breakfasts are absolutely delicious; there's no need to lie!
The boss is a really nice guy! He's just too busy to chat! He's always very friendly when we go shopping!
[I work nearby and queue up every day; I'm definitely not a shill.]
However, these comments are like a few drops of water in the ocean.
Not only did they fail to make any waves, but some people even turned around and attacked them.
【5 cents each?】
[So many accomplices, and their acting is so terrible!]
Several of these accounts are newly registered and are clearly paid trolls.
Wang Xiaoya stomped her feet in anger.
She would not allow anyone to defame the God in her heart!
She activated her super-powerful combat mode, but unfortunately it was of little use; as the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands.
Even if Wang Xiaoya types very fast, she still can't reply to every single message.
Just when all hope seemed lost.
A special comment with a gold verification suddenly popped up in the comments section and was quickly pushed to the top of the comments list.
ID: Shop-Exploring Brother Wang.
The profile picture is of a burly man with a face full of scars.
The comments were very direct and had a promotional tone.
[Sister Tian is indeed a top internet celebrity; her videos are well-written, and her script is quite touching. However, true gold fears no fire. I will personally go to this store tomorrow morning to debunk it. If it's true, I will apologize on the spot and give them free promotion. If it's fake, well, sorry, you all know what I mean. See you in the live stream at 5 AM tomorrow.]
