Huayu: Starting by piggybacking on the fame of "Fairy Mom"

Chapter 66 What a coincidence!

Seeing that her expression was off, Zhou Wenqiong snatched the storyboard away.

The more she watched, the more alarmed she became. The dance was quite interesting, but was it really something her cousin could do?

She herself didn't care. What kind of big scenes hadn't she seen while filming?

This dance is nothing special for her, and since she has already retired from the entertainment industry, she has little burden of reputation.

But my cousin is different. If this gets out...where will I put my face?

Besides, I just got the green book (marriage certificate). If they find out, they'll laugh themselves to death!

The dance may seem simple, but the twisting and swaying movements, coupled with the requirement to wear a short skirt and expose one's thighs, are simply mind-blowing.

If my cousin really does dance, she'll probably have a hard time making a name for herself in the dance industry.

As she was lost in thought, Liu Xiaoli spoke coldly: "President Chen, you're not inviting me to dance, you're trying to harm me."

Chen Minghua tried to explain, but Liu Xiaoli cut him off again: "Is this something I can do? Putting aside my position in the industry, at my age—" She pointed to her face, "Is it appropriate?"

Chen Minghua smiled ingratiatingly, "Teacher Liu, you look so good you could easily pass for an unmarried woman. When you came in just now, I thought it wasn't you at all."

That's true. Zhou Xiaobai has been spending a lot of popularity points on them lately, and the two of them do look like they're in their early twenties.

When picking up her child from school, she was often mistaken for Liu Qianqian's older sister, with no one even considering that they were mother and daughter.

"Hehe, no matter how much you praise me, it's useless. I can't dance this dance." Although Liu Xiaoli was pleased with what she heard, her attitude was firm.

Zhou Wenqiong's eyes darted around, and she tried to smooth things over: "My sister can choreograph and give instructions. There are so many talented young girls in her troupe, and besides, the more people there are, the more lively the dance will be."

Li Jun shook his head and explained, "What we value is your influence. If we were looking for someone else, we might as well just go to the school and pick people directly."

"Well……"

Zhou Wenqiong was speechless. Li Jun was right, but she knew her cousin too well; there was no chance of this happening.

"Teacher Liu, why don't you give it a try first? If it really doesn't work, we can discuss it further." Chen Minghua was still unwilling to give up; the fire in his heart had not yet been extinguished.

"Unless the dance is changed, there's no point in discussing it," Liu Xiaoli refused decisively.

"This..." Chen Minghua hesitated. "It was your cousin who put together the dance; do you think I dare change it? Even if I did, would it still have the same reach? This all costs money."

With that thought in mind, he decided to reveal his hand: "Three hundred thousand. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli's expression changed instantly.

Three hundred thousand?

Isn't this the price that guy surnamed Chen offered her during the Spring Festival when he asked her to go to Beijing to set up a song and dance troupe? Isn't this blatantly insulting?

She became even more convinced that this was a setup orchestrated by the man surnamed Chen.

Thinking of this, she flew into a rage and grabbed Zhou Wenqiong, saying, "Let's go!"

Without even saying goodbye, the two slammed the door and left.

Chen Minghua and Li Jun were left staring at each other, dumbfounded.

In a corner of the corridor, Zhou Xiaobai and Liu Qianqian were startled to see Da Meili storming downstairs in a huff!

Why such a strong reaction?

Even if they can't reach an agreement, there's no need to get so angry.

Without time to think it through, the two quickly went into the reception room.

Zhou Xiaobai was furious—he had already said to stick to the plan, and now this was an unexpected complication? Did they think his beautiful daughter would be bullied by them?

He was about to question her when Liu Qianqian interrupted, "What happened? Why is my mother so angry?"

Liu Qianqian was really anxious.

Mom got so angry, she must have been wronged.

If you make my mother suffer, I'll make you all suffer too.

"No, no, it's just that when we were talking about money, your mother suddenly..."

Chen Minghua understands the child's protective instincts; anyone would be anxious if their elders were bullied.

Li Jun nodded in agreement and briefly recounted the negotiation process.

Zhou Xiaobai and Liu Qianqian exchanged a glance. Although they had guessed that the process wouldn't go smoothly and expected that Liu Xiaoli wouldn't be able to dance like that, they never expected it to turn out like this.

The two of them immediately understood—it was all because of the number "three hundred thousand".

Thinking of this, they hated that man surnamed Chen even more.

"Okay, Uncle Chen, five hundred thousand. The extra two hundred thousand is ours, deducted from my share. Wait for my notification before calling again." Zhou Xiaobai gritted his teeth, looked at Liu Qianqian, and Liu Qianqian nodded vigorously.

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for their response, he pulled Liu Qianqian and walked out.

Half an hour later, on the street.

Liu Xiaoli, her face cold, continued muttering, "I knew it was that guy surnamed Chen who was sabotaging us behind the scenes. Three hundred thousand? Ha—"

"Exactly," Zhou Wenqiong said angrily, "How could there be such a good thing? Is this the kind of dance you're supposed to do? It's obvious they have ill intentions, and they're still not giving up."

"He'll get his comeuppance sooner or later; I have to get my revenge," Liu Xiaoli said bitterly.

"Hmm!" Zhou Wenqiong nodded, then her eyes lit up and she pointed ahead, "Look, the punching bag is over there."

Liu Xiaoli looked in the direction she was pointing and immediately laughed: "I work so hard to earn money, and they're enjoying themselves. Let's go teach them a lesson."

At the corner of the alley, Liu Qianqian pushed Zhou Xiaobai forward.

Both of them had lollipops in their mouths and "coincidentally" appeared right under Da Meili's nose.

"Sissi, should we run? They're so angry, they'll definitely take it out on us." Zhou Xiaobai's voice trembled, and she almost crushed the candy in her mouth. "Or, should we postpone this show until tomorrow?"

"Our clothes have such a big hole torn in them, and you're saying you're going to run away?" Liu Qianqian glared at him disdainfully, annoyed by his lack of backbone. "You're really useless. At most, your butt will hurt. There are too many people here; they won't dare to make a move."

"Heh, are you useful? What are those short legs shaking for?" Zhou Xiaobai glanced down.

"Aaaaah! You're asking for it!" Liu Qianqian immediately bristled.

"Who's looking for death?"

Da Meili's voice came from behind at just the right time.

Zhou Xiaobai and Liu Qianqian exchanged a glance, both seeing guilt in each other's eyes.

The two women slowly turned their heads, forcing a fawning expression of surprise: "Oh! Sister/Mom, you're here too? What a coincidence!"

"Oh, what a coincidence, we even bumped into each other while shopping." Liu Xiaoli smiled, waiting for them to make a mistake.

"Little brother, how about giving the candy to your sister?" Zhou Wenqiong laughed along, then started picking a fight, "I overheard you guys talking about... who's asking for trouble?"

"Auntie, Xiaobai called me short-legged!" Liu Qianqian immediately brandished her knife.

"Oh? Our Qianqian will definitely have long legs when she grows up. Little brother, that's not right of you." Zhou Wenqiong's eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, then she chuckled to herself—wasn't this a perfect excuse to beat them up? "What happened to your clothes? There's such a big hole in them!"

"Tell me! What happened?" Liu Xiaoli's laughter turned into anger.

"Mom~ Mom, my brother pulled it!" Liu Qianqian squeezed out two tears; it's better for one person to suffer than for two to suffer. Brother, please be a good person.

Zhou Xiaobai was furious. They agreed to go to the park to let the tree branches scratch him, but now they've changed their minds and are slandering him? Confucius was absolutely right. Women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with, and you have both.

Da Meili was also furious, and each of them lost a small ear.

"That'll teach you to behave badly and bully girls!" Zhou Wenqiong retorted first.

"You're not studying hard enough, do you think it's easy for me to make money?" Liu Xiaoli rambled incoherently.

"You're my cousin, not my mother—" Zhou Xiaobai retorted, seizing on the grammatical error.

"My mother is your mother, you unfilial son!" Liu Qianqian added fuel to the fire.

Zhou Xiaobai was heartbroken. Just as Liu Qianqian had said, there were too many people here, and they dared not make a move.

But he underestimated that adults never consider the occasion when pinching a child's bottom.

The bruises on his buttocks are the best proof.
