Chapter 76
Shen Tiantian’s chattering little mouth hadn’t stopped.
“…Daddy is silly. He didn’t even catch a single fish. I’m a little more amazing. Cousin, you definitely can’t guess how big the fish I caught was!”
Tiantian’s eyes curved into crescent moons, his smile bright and brilliant.
He turned his head and saw his cousin staring blankly. Tiantian was puzzled for a moment and went over to push his arm.
“What’s wrong with you? Cousin, are you dumbfounded?”
For the past year, his cousin had always been like this, spacing out at the drop of a hat.
Although Shen Tiantian was confused, he was already used to it.
Seeing that his cousin wouldn’t come back to his senses for a while, Tiantian could only shrug his little shoulders.
He had come home at an inconvenient time. Lunch was not yet on the table, but fortunately, Auntie Mu had prepared some fruit in advance, cutting it into small pieces for Tiantian.
“There’s a squab soup today. It takes a lot of time to make. Tiantian, please wait a little while.”
Auntie Mu put down the fruit plate and hurried back to the kitchen to keep an eye on things.
Tiantian picked up a small piece of apple and started to gnaw on it like a rabbit, his cheeks puffed out.
And Ye Jiabao, who had finally realized that Shen Yuanchuan’s attitude towards Shen Tiantian was different, had his chest heaving at this moment, and he slapped the table hard.
“Why?!”
How could this little fool, Shen Tiantian, get along so well with his two brothers, and even Shen Yuanchuan was so intimate and different with him?
When Ye Jiabao had first returned to the wealthy family, it wasn’t that he hadn’t tried to get closer to Shen Yuanchuan.
But not only was Shen Yuanchuan a busy man, but he was also particularly cold and heartless. And because his two brothers were making trouble, every time Shen Yuanchuan saw Ye Jiabao, he would tell him to be more well-behaved.
Ye Jiabao remembered clearly that the sentence Shen Yuanchuan said the most was:
“Lin Shuang is a smart person. How could she have given birth to such a stupid son?”
Of course, it’s because he wasn’t born to Auntie Lin Shuang at all! Ye Jiabao thought.
But isn’t he a hundred times, a thousand times better than this little fool, Shen Tiantian?
Unfortunately, at that time, Ye Jiabao was too guilty. He had a huge secret and didn’t dare to refute, for fear that Shen Yuanchuan would find out that he was an impostor.
Now that he thought about it, maybe it wasn’t that Shen Yuanchuan couldn’t find out, but that he had too many sons and didn’t care at all. He was also too arrogant and didn’t think that someone would deceive him right under his nose.
And as for Shen Xiuze and Shen Jinfeng, there was no need to mention them.
When he was kicked out of the Shen family in his previous life, Ye Jiabao had only then learned that the two of them had known he was an impostor from the very beginning!
But Shen Jinfeng’s smile was flamboyant and malicious. His gentle brows and eyes turned into cold snowflakes at that moment, and his voice scattered coldly in the wind:
“Do you want to know why I didn’t expose you? It’s simple. Isn’t it good to have one less competitor?”
And he was an impostor who was destined to be kicked out from the very beginning.
There was only one Shen Group. It was already annoying enough for Shen Xiuze and Shen Jinfeng to fight over it. They would not allow anyone else to interfere.
They didn’t have that much time to play at being loving brothers. It was better to just kick him out.
Ye Jiabao had thought that in this life, with the real young master, Shen Tiantian, the fight between the three brothers would only be more brutal and ruthless.
But he hadn’t expected the atmosphere in the Shen family to become inexplicably harmonious.
Ye Jiabao couldn’t help but look at Shen Tiantian, gritting his teeth, so angry he was about to die.
“You’re so useless, aren’t you?”
Why couldn’t you make Shen Xiuze and Shen Jinfeng fight among themselves?
Shen Tiantian, who had just eaten a piece of crisp apple, was stunned. His little belly puffed out, and he was also a little angry.
“I’m very useful!”
Tiantian felt that his cousin didn’t understand him at all!
He folded his short little arms and said with a huff:
“I’m about to become the little president of the Shen Group now. If you make me angry again, cousin, I won’t sell you any cars in the future.”
The little president is that powerful!
This threat was equivalent to none. Ye Jiabao calmed himself down, his face sullen. He knew that he couldn’t fall out with Shen Tiantian yet and said through gritted teeth:
“I’m sorry, Tiantian. I was too impulsive. I was talking about myself being useless just now, not about you.”
Only then did Shen Tiantian nod. He patted his cousin and said with his round eyes:
“Cousin, you finally realized you’re useless! You’ve become smarter, cousin!”
Ye Jiabao: “…”
You…
In the end, he didn’t say the curse words. Ye Jiabao calmed his breathing, remembered that he had more important things to find Shen Tiantian for, and said:
“Tiantian, has Director Lin contacted you recently? It’s time to start promoting the TV series.”
Dramas usually get reviewed very quickly. In addition, Lin Chen’an had filmed many historical dramas before, and the quality and content were very guaranteed.
If there were no accidents, the drama would be broadcast in about half a month.
It was also time for the advance promotion and various announcements of the TV series.
Shen Tiantian was holding a piece of sweet melon, a circle of sticky juice around his mouth, his eyes dazed as he said:
“What announcement?”
Ye Jiabao looked at his silly appearance and forgot that he was a real child and didn’t know about the various things in the entertainment industry yet.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Jiabao explained for a while before Shen Tiantian understood.
Shen Tiantian’s little eyes were sparkling, as if a small, brilliant galaxy had fallen into them. He couldn’t help but let out a “wow,” full of anticipation.
“Really? Then when are we going to promote the TV series?”
This was exactly why Ye Jiabao had come to find Shen Tiantian.
Because Director Lin hadn’t contacted Ye Jiabao at all, nor had he shown any intention of letting Ye Jiabao follow the film crew for promotion.
But this was a rare opportunity to show his face in the industry!
Not to mention that after this drama was broadcast, it would be hailed as the peak of historical dramas for the next ten years.
Ye Jiabao didn’t want to miss the opportunity to follow the film crew for promotion, but the embarrassing thing was that Lin Chen’an hadn’t given him his contact information at the time.
Shen Tiantian had taken the small note, and the assistant director who was in charge of filming Ye Jiabao’s scenes didn’t like Ye Jiabao at all.
After thinking about it, Ye Jiabao could only come to find Shen Tiantian.
“Didn’t Director Lin give you his contact information at the time? Can you call him and ask if he can take us along for the promotion?”
Shen Tiantian let out a slow “oh,” his round eyes darted around, a little embarrassed, his little face slightly red, his expression shy.
“I… I seem to have lost it.”
Ye Jiabao gasped, trying his best not to faint from anger.
“Then what should we do? Or do you have anyone’s contact information from the film crew? We can ask them.”
Ye Jiabao’s popularity was not good. During his time with the group, he had barely managed to get familiar with everyone by relying on his young age.
Shen Tiantian thought for a moment, and he really did have some.
He pulled up his sleeves and showed his little genius watch.
After flipping through it for a while, he found the phone number that big brother Lu Wei had left, and Shen Tiantian called him.
Ye Jiabao reminded him from the side, “Be subtle. Don’t let others notice our too obvious intentions.”
It wouldn’t sound good if it got out that he was too eager for quick success.
Shen Tiantian took it in. After the call connected, he said in a small voice as soft as milk candy:
“Big brother Lu Wei, I want to ask you subtly, has the TV series started its promotion yet?”
Ye Jiabao: “…”
Is this how you’re subtle?
Lu Wei had just come down from a noisy event on the other end, and the background was noisy.
His voice was hearty, and he replied with a smile:
“It’s starting in a couple of days? Are you coming? Hurry up and call me big brother, let me pinch your face, and I can reluctantly take you with me.”
Shen Tiantian was terrified. His eyes widened, and he shook his head.
“No way!”
With that, Shen Tiantian hurriedly hung up the phone.
Ye Jiabao, on the side, was both anxious and confused. He cursed mmp in his heart, but his expression was still barely stable.
“What’s wrong with you? Why did you hang up on Lu Wei?”
Shen Tiantian said very honestly:
“Big brother Lu Wei’s pinching hurts a lot, cousin. We can’t lose the big for the small.”
After taking two Chinese lessons, Shen Tiantian could even use four-character idioms.
Although the usage was not right!
“What lose the big for the small? Promotion is the important thing!” Ye Jiabao was anxious.
Tiantian was not convinced. He huffed and retorted with a pout:
“That’s not it. We can still ask others, but it hurts a lot when my face is pinched, and only big brother Lu Wei does it.”
Ye Jiabao let out a cold hmph. How many people’s phone numbers can you have?
But in the next second, Shen Tiantian flipped to Song Xinxue’s, the assistant director’s, the second male lead Xu Jiaming’s, the fourth female lead Hu Ran’s… and a series of phone numbers.
Ye Jiabao looked at these contact information and silently closed his mouth.
How did Shen Tiantian turn acting in a film crew into a social event?
This time, the two of them directly contacted the assistant director.
The assistant director happened to be in charge of a small part of the promotion, so it was clearer to ask him.
The assistant director was at home eating at this time. When he saw Tiantian’s call and thought of the little one’s cute little appearance, his voice couldn’t help but become high-pitched.
“Oh my, it’s Tiantian!”
Tiantian on this side nodded and shouted, “That’s right, that’s right.”
“It’s me, uncle. Are we going to do promotion recently? Take me with you, take me with you!”
His little milky voice was full of anticipation and impatience.
The assistant director laughed at this and couldn’t help but say to his wife on the side:
“See? Isn’t he as fun as I said?”
Then the assistant director replied:
“Sure. Director Lin and I were just discussing whether to take you… oh, and also Ye Jiabao.”
In the drama, Shen Tiantian played the male lead as a child, and Ye Jiabao played the second male lead villain as a child.
The male lead, Lu Wei, and the second male lead were both main members of the promotion. Since they were taking Shen Tiantian, for the sake of the promotion effect, it was best to also take Ye Jiabao.
Ye Jiabao knew that he was just a tag-along and was a little unconvinced.
He was sullen for a while, but in the end, he considered the overall situation and didn’t argue with the assistant director over the phone.
“Since you guys want to come, then come and play together.”
Until now, the assistant director still didn’t think that their drama would be that popular.
The promotion activities were nothing more than relying on the fans of the few celebrities in the drama to fill the scene and show some support.
After confirming the time of the first promotion activity, Shen Tiantian nodded to show that he had remembered and then hung up the phone.
But as soon as he turned his head, Shen Tiantian felt as if his head had gone blank for a moment. He covered his head and said:
“It’s over. I forgot the time again!”
The corner of Ye Jiabao’s mouth twitched. How could he, time and time again, be no match for Shen Tiantian, who couldn’t even remember the time?
He let out a deep, helpless sigh. Ye Jiabao simply found a pen and paper and wrote it down for Shen Tiantian.
“Here, I have to go now.”
After the matter was settled, Ye Jiabao didn’t want to stay in the Shen family any longer, to avoid running into the other members of the Shen family.
However, when he was going out, Ye Jiabao still ran into Shen Jinfeng, who had just driven home.
Shen Jinfeng glanced at Ye Jiabao through the car window, then indifferently looked away, returned to the living room, and tapped the foolishly laughing Shen Tiantian’s little head.
“What are you so foolishly happy about?”
Shen Jinfeng added, “You should interact less with that cousin of yours in the future.”
He’s full of little schemes and not likable at all.
Shen Tiantian, however, had a straight little face and looked at his brother seriously.
“Big brother, we can’t discriminate against cousin just because he’s a little fool and not play with him. Mommy said that’s not right.”
Shen Jinfeng: …
