DTBS - Chapter 135
Chapter 135: Kitty Finishes School
“CEO Tao, are you returning to Tianhua now?” Zheng Liuyu held her tablet. “If you return to Tianhua today, will you still come back for the subsequent exchange meetings here in Mingyang?”
“You attend on my behalf first,” Tao Qiuyun looked at her. “After I meet with Qi Xingwu and handle some matters, I'll come back. I'll resolve it as quickly as possible.”
“Okay, CEO Tao,” Zheng Liuyu nodded and continued, “Then... what about Miss Qin? Do you need to tell her?”
“I'll tell her, but if she doesn't want to stay at the hotel provided by the film crew, I'll have to trouble Secretary Zheng to pick her up and drop her off.”
“Okay, CEO Tao, I understand. It's no trouble.” Zheng Liuyu nodded in agreement.
Wang Huai's message caused Tao Qiuyun to change her plans temporarily. She boarded a plane back to Tianhua once again. She sent a message to the little cat:
【Tao Qiuyi: Qingshang, I'm going back to Tianhua to handle something. I've told Secretary Zheng, if you don't want to stay at the hotel provided by the crew, just have her pick you up. Oh, right, I've arranged bodyguards for you, they should be in place tomorrow.】
【Tao Qiuyi: (Cat head peeking)】
Qin Qingshang finished filming and was hesitating whether to call Lan Su first to ask about Qinqin, or call Tao Qiuyun first to discuss the variety show.
That's right, because she was busy filming, and Tao Qiuyun and Su Qingxiang were also busy recently, she simply handed Qinqin over to the currently "most free" Lan Su, asking her to help with pick-ups and drop-offs.
Seeing the message from Tao Qiuyun, Qin Qingshang pursed her lips and slowly typed:
【Big Cat: Who wants to stay at your place! I'm doing just fine here (Cat with hands on hips)】
【Big Cat: Qiuqiu, I just received a variety show invitation. Are you interested in going on a variety show again?】
【Tao Qiuyi: No】
【Big Cat: (Cat anticipating)】
【Big Cat: ?】
【Tao Qiuyi: Can only look, can't touch, it's hard to bear】
Seeing this, Qin Qingshang's face instantly turned red, and she typed with a little more force:
【Big Cat: Shameless! I'm serious! (Cat poking you)】
【Tao Qiuyi: Do you need my cooperation? As long as you need me, I will go.】
【Big Cat: (Cat blinking) Actually, it's not just you, Qinqin is also needed. The director invited our family of three to participate this time, like a family activity, how about it?】
【Tao Qiuyi: I have no problem, but let's ask Qinqin first. She's a child with her own ideas.】
【Big Cat: Then I'll call Sister Lan later, but Qinqin hasn't finished school yet. Since you're going back to Tianhua anyway, why don't you go ask her? And if she participates in the variety show, she'll have to ask for leave from school (Cat thinking)】
【Big Cat: It's all your fault! I haven't had time to spend quality time with my daughter before, I've been busy with you doing this and that. For the variety show after this, you're not allowed to stick to me!】
She wanted to properly cultivate her relationship with Qinqin!
【Tao Qiuyi: Okay】
Ming Siwen walked over and accidentally glanced at the latest message. She looked at Qin Qingshang strangely. “Although it's a bit presumptuous, let me state first, I really saw it by accident.”
“Qiuqiu and I weren't talking about anything scandalous,” the little cat didn't care. “Teacher Ming, feel free to look.”
Ming Siwen pursed her lips. “You're really not being reserved, but your note for CEO Tao is a bit... unique.”
“I just changed it this morning,” Qin Qingshang held her phone, staring blankly at Tao Qiuyun's profile picture. “Teacher Ming, don't you think that when the weather is cold, looking at the words 'Tao Qiuyi' makes you feel warm without realizing it?”
“...What about when it's hot?”
“I can change her note!” The little cat gave her a look as if she were an idiot.
“Take off the autumn clothes when it's hot... leaving only 'Tao'?” Ming Siwen suddenly understood.
Is this what young couples are like? Even a WeChat note is so... thoughtful!
How, how wild!
“Huh?” The little cat was shocked and quickly defended herself, “No, Teacher Ming, you misunderstood. I've never thought about that problem!”
Ming Siwen, she's the one with the dirty mind!
“Nice to meet you.” Tao Qiuyun pulled out a chair and slowly sat down. Her dark blue suit was neat, and even while sitting, her back remained straight, which, combined with the cool-toned room decor, gave off an immense sense of pressure.
The woman's gaze was slightly cool, like a piece of cold jade landing on one, icy and chilling. She stared at Qi Xingwu behind the glass, her voice cold: “Mr. Qi, what do you need from me?”
“CEO Tao? CEO Tao!”
When Qi Xingwu saw her, he instantly looked extremely agitated. The man's eyes were red, tears streamed down his face, and his voice was pleading: “CEO Tao, I beg you, can you please let me go? I really know I was wrong! I was wrong, I really didn't know Qin Qingshang was your wife at the time, really, please, I still have parents to support, CEO Tao, I'm the only son in my family! I'm an only child, my parents...”
“You called me here,” Tao Qiuyun interrupted him, her expression indifferent, “just to listen to you talk nonsense?”
“CEO Tao, I was really wrong. As they say, ignorance is bliss. I didn't know Miss Qin was your wife. If I had known she was your wife, even if you gave me a hundred bear hearts and leopard guts, I wouldn't dare covet her! CEO Tao! Please, look at me, I still have parents to support, I'm really a filial son, they only have me, CEO Tao...”
Tao Qiuyun stood up and said to Fang Yu, who was standing nearby: “From now on, any of his requests related to me don't need to be reported to me... It's a waste of time.”
Her indifferent attitude was the epitome of arrogance. Seeing that Tao Qiuyun was completely unmoved, Qi Xingwu immediately stopped begging and selling misery, and quickly called out to her: “CEO Tao, wait! I actually wanted to tell you about that medicine. Please, give me a little more time!”
He wanted to use this opportunity to beg Tao Qiuyun for forgiveness, at least to suffer a little less. But if he really angered Tao Qiuyun and she just left like this, then... not only would he suffer, but the person who truly instigated him would be completely safe? He couldn't swallow this. They both had ill intentions towards Qin Qingshang, so why should he be the only one going to hell? If they were going to die, they should die together!
“This is your last chance.” Tao Qiuyun turned around, looking down at her watch, not even willing to spare him a glance, completely ignoring him.
“It's like this,” Qi Xingwu saw that she wasn't looking at him and didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. He lowered his posture to the absolute minimum: “On the night of the Starry Gala, I saw Miss Qin talking to Shi Beng. CEO Tao, you might not know who Shi Beng is. He's a director, his professional ability is okay, but his character is not. He has a wife, but it seems to be just a superficial relationship.”
“Everyone in the industry knows a little bit. Director Shi Beng is not picky about gender. Because he's not good-looking himself, he likes anyone who is pretty... So he actively approached Miss Qin to talk. I think it's highly likely he wanted Miss Qin to sleep with him, but with Miss Qin's personality, she definitely wouldn't agree, and might even...”
Qi Xingwu paused and continued: “...scold him. To be honest, I've always felt that Miss Qin is somewhat similar to Ming Siwen. They both come from ordinary backgrounds but are extremely capable actresses who firmly oppose using their looks to please others...”
“Get to the point.” Tao Qiuyun interrupted him.
Qi Xingwu's flattery was cut off halfway, and he didn't dare to play any more tricks. He could only continue: “After that, my conversation with Miss Qin was unpleasant. Later, someone approached me and gave me that medicine... I suspect Shi Beng is the person behind it. After all, at that night's gala, the person most likely to have a grudge against Miss Qin was him!”
After he finished speaking, seeing Tao Qiuyun turn and leave, he quickly said: “CEO Tao! You, you're just leaving like this? Aren't you going to say something to me?”
He had told Tao Qiuyun such important information. Even if she wasn't willing to let him go, she shouldn't just leave without saying anything, right? She had been quite polite before, at least on the surface.
“Mr. Qi,” Tao Qiuyun slightly tilted her head. “You should be glad I got enough practice with my hands today.”
Otherwise, facing a criminal who had drugged her wife, it would be a miracle if she could speak to him properly!
Not punching him on the spot was only because there were police everywhere and a glass barrier between them, so she couldn't hit him!
After the conversation with Qi Xingwu ended, it was almost time for kindergarten to finish. After informing Lan Su that she was back in Tianhua today and she didn't need to pick up Qinqin, Tao Qiuyun took the big dog Big Bold and prepared to take it to the kindergarten with her, treating it as today's walk and picking up her daughter on the way.
“Woof!” Woof wants to ride in the car, woof doesn't want to walk.
It could be said to be the laziest dog in the world.
“Mama!” The little cat, carrying her white cat backpack, ran towards Tao Qiuyun and hugged the woman's leg. “Why did Mama come to pick me up today?”
“A-Auntie, hello~” A soft and cute voice came from Meng Huashi, who was carrying a black cat backpack. Although she was familiar with Qinqin, she was still shy in front of adults.
Actually, she was very grateful to Qinqin's two mothers. Thanks to them, now only she and her mother lived at home, and her mother wasn't so tired anymore!
“Hello, Mengmeng,” Tao Qiuyun held the big dog with one hand. She picked up her daughter with the other and looked down at Meng Huashi, saying, “Tell Auntie, was Qinqin well-behaved at school today?”
“What do you mean by that!” The little cat huffed and poked her with her paw. “You're scolding me!”
“Qinqin, she... Qinqin is always very good.” The little girl looked up, her eyes bright, at Tao Aiqin.
Qinqin is the best!
“Put me down!” The little one was a bit embarrassed and struggled a few times in Tao Qiuyun's arms. “I want to be with Mengmeng.”
“Okay, you two play together,” Tao Qiuyun put her daughter down and squatted to chat with them. “Did Mengmeng's mother not come today?”
“Woof!” Play together.
The big dog also squatted beside them. Even squatting, it was taller than the two little girls.
“You don't care about your daughter at all!” The little cat's fur bristled. “Auntie Meng is always very busy, she gets off work very late. Usually, Auntie Xiang brings Mengmeng home! You're bad!”
“...I'm sorry, I didn't know,” Tao Qiuyun quickly apologized and said to Meng Huashi, “Then how about Auntie takes you home?”
After saying that, she remembered she hadn't driven and pursed her lips. “But I didn't drive. I'll have someone bring the car over first. Can you wait a moment?”
Originally, Tao Qiuyun planned to walk the dog with one hand and carry the little cat with the other, treating it as exercise. But now with Meng Huashi, where would she find a third hand?
“Then shall I... go play on the swing with Qinqin?” Mengmeng looked at Tao Aiqin expectantly. “Okay?”
Tao Aiqin: “...”
Oh my god! I just didn't want to play on that childish swing, that's why I kept pushing you from the side.
System: “Tsk!”
Tao Aiqin: “What are you tsk-ing at!”
System: “You're actually being manipulated by a kindergarten child, how lame.”
Tao Aiqin: “You AI know nothing about the destructive power of human cubs!”
“Is it not good?” Mengmeng looked downcast. “Because you always let me play, I... I was very happy, and I also want... want to make you happy.”
“Let's go! Come play on the swing with me!” The little cat pulled Mengmeng away.
There was nothing she could do. She couldn't stand to see a girl looking disappointed.
“Wait a moment!” Tao Qiuyun grabbed the little cat's backpack and said with a smile, “You two leave your backpacks here before you go play, but Qinqin, Mama needs to discuss something with you.”
“Tell me~” The little cat put her hands on her hips, her posture arrogant, but her voice was soft.
The woman chuckled and couldn't help but kiss her. “Your Qingshang Mama took on a variety show. She said she needs to bring her wife and child. Are you willing to go? A variety show is... like how the Mamas were before, everyone can see you on their phones and TVs.”
“Qinqin is going to be on TV?” Meng Huashi only knew that being on TV was a big deal and clapped. “So amazing!”
Tao Aiqin: “...?”
I have to go on a variety show for business?
System: “...?”
You fake child are going to sell cuteness to the whole internet?
Tao Aiqin was provoked by the System and cursed in her head, but on the surface, she looked innocent and said to Tao Qiuyun, “You and Mama are going too?”
“Yes, we're going together.”
“Will it be for a long time? Does that mean I don't have to go to school?”
“...It shouldn't be too long, but you definitely won't be able to come to school for a while. I'll help you ask for leave.”
“Then,” the little cat looked at the little girl who had become downcast beside her, turned her head, and stared at Tao Qiuyun seriously, “I can go, but Mengmeng has to go too.”
She didn't really care. It was fine to help Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang's relationship progress. But Meng Huashi was different. If she could seize this opportunity on the child variety show, she might be able to enter the entertainment industry!
With the identity of being Tao Aiqin's friend, perhaps the female lead's mother and the CEO mother would take good care of her. Mengmeng's future life would definitely be smooth.
Moreover, after the incident where Mengmeng's mother was "exploited" was exposed by Qin Qingshang, she had subtly probed Meng Huashi's aspirations. Mengmeng said she wanted to be like Qin Qingshang and help others.
Mengmeng had a very good impression of Qin Qingshang. When she grew up a little more, maybe she would also have the dream of becoming an actress?
Besides, Meng Huashi was so beautiful, and her bone structure was good, a natural actor's foundation!
Her slight stuttering problem, which she had due to fear of speaking, had also slowly eased after Su Qingxiang's guidance and her family's situation improving. Her voice was already pleasant, and with a little polishing, she would be perfect!
If she later entered a professional acting school and had the guidance of the female lead's mother, who would be a future Best Actress, maybe Meng Huashi could also win the Best Actress award in the future?
So cool!
She originally thought she would be done after helping Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang achieve a happy relationship, but unexpectedly, a new DLC appeared now—《Best Actress Training Plan》
Training her familiar childhood friend into a Best Actress, how cool is that!
System, give me some points!
Hearing her muttering a whole bunch in her head, the System wished it could shake her until she became a blur: “Wake up! I'm not a training system!”
Ignoring the System's shouts, the little cat was once again fired up...
New goal:
Meng Huashi, go viral!
