Chapter 239 Little Star
"Listen carefully, when we go inside, if Grandma mentions 'Uncle,' do you know what to say?"
At the last moment, Shen Shilan grabbed the two little ones.
He was certain that the moment he stepped through the door, his mother's slipper would fly over and smash into his head.
Fortunately, he had an ace up his sleeve.
"Chirp, hit baby, baby doesn't like it, it's smelly."
Shen Shilan stared in shock at the chubby little boy at her feet. The little guy was so clever; he hadn't even taught her yet, and she already knew how to reply.
"Yes, that's what I said. You're great, baby."
Shen Shilan gave her a thumbs up.
"And you, did you remember?"
He then turned to look at Lu Shulang, who looked completely bewildered.
"Remember, they don't like younger sisters."
Good, good, good! These two little ones have really become smarter today.
Everyone knows who the precious darling of the family is.
Sure enough, as Shen Shilan poked his head through the door, a slipper flew towards him.
"Mom, what are you doing? Le Bao is still in my arms. What if you scare her?"
Shen Shilan had anticipated this, and before entering the room, he tightly hugged the imperial sword to his chest.
"Oh dear, my darling grandson, Grandma didn't mean it. Did you scare me?"
Seeing Shen Shilan's precious grandson, Xiang Jiahui rushed forward, afraid of frightening her.
"You were scared!"
The little guy nodded.
Xiang Jiahui: "..."
Shen Shilan suppressed a laugh, silently giving Le Bao a thumbs up in her heart.
"Le Bao, come here to Mommy."
Shen Wanning walked over and took Le Bao away.
As soon as the life-saving charm in his arms was gone, Shen Shilan was grabbed by the ear by his mother.
"You're just paying lip service, aren't you? You're deliberately causing trouble, aren't you? Today I'll show you who's in charge of this house."
"Mom, Mom, it hurts! Please let go and listen to me."
Shen Shilan held down his mother's hand that was gripping his ear and gave Lu Shulang and Le Bao a wink.
"Grandma, it's not Uncle's fault. Those aunties didn't like my little sister and even pushed her, so Uncle chased them away."
The older Lu Shulang understood Shen Shilan's signal and stepped forward to hug Xiang Jiahui's leg to help him out of the predicament.
"real?"
Xiang Jiahui loosened her grip, and Shen Shilan took the opportunity to escape his mother's clutches.
"Oh, Grandma, Auntie pushed me! She was so mean, and I looked awful."
As Le Bao spoke, he pinched his nose, looking disgusted.
Seeing that her beloved grandson had said so, Xiang Jia Hui's doubts completely disappeared.
She spoke angrily:
"Who are these people? They told me they were all top-notch girls, but they dared to lay a hand on my precious girl before she even entered the house."
"That's right, Mom. So you see, it was the right thing for me to take the kids. We easily tested their true character."
"Mom... what about the next person...?"
Shen Shilan wanted to use this opportunity to turn down the people who came after her.
"Keep watching. I refuse to believe that among so many people, not a single one is of good character. You better not let me find out what kind of trouble you're up to."
Shen Shilan's shoulders slumped; he hadn't escaped after all.
For three consecutive days, Shen Shilan took her two children on blind dates in the morning and had fun in the afternoon.
He completely won over the two little ones.
That day, Shen Shilan took them sightseeing near the film and television city and they encountered a film crew that was short of a child actor.
One of the children originally scheduled to be cast was picked up by his family because he was throwing a tantrum and refusing to cooperate. The crew couldn't find a child of the same age to replace him in time.
The director is yelling and cursing. The set has already been built, and all this time wasted is money.
Le Bao was holding a string of candied hawthorns, munching on them messily.
"Mr. Shen Er?"
Someone recognized Shen Shilan and came over to talk to her.
Shen Shilan recognized the other person, glanced at the child looking around, and started talking to the person.
Suddenly, as if she had seen something strange, Le Bao ran away, with Lu Shulang following behind.
Seeing that the child hadn't run far and was still right under her nose, Shen Shilan didn't chase after him.
"Little friend, would you like to act?"
A short, stout middle-aged man, wearing a baseball cap and grinning like a big bad wolf, came over and struck up a conversation with Le Bao.
Lu Shulang pulled his sister behind him and looked at the man warily.
"Little friend, I'm not a bad person. I'm a director, I make TV shows, and I'm right over there."
As he spoke, he pointed to the film crew not far away.
"Acting like Sen Yao?"
Le Bao poked her head out from behind her brother.
"Acting means that many people will recognize you, and you will become a minor star."
Le Bao doesn't know what a celebrity is, but she's excited that many people know her.
"Hey bro, wanna take a look?"
She tugged at Lu Shulang's clothes.
"Sister, he doesn't look like a good person. We can't go with him."
Being the older brother, he was quite cautious in this regard.
The fat man: "..."
Is it okay for you to say that to my face?
He touched his face, wondering if he really looked that much like a bad guy.
He, the assistant director of the film crew, was actually told to his face that he looked like a bad person.
And he had no way to refute it.
"Little friend, I'm really not a bad person. How about this, you can bring your adults along, is that alright?"
He looked around, trying to find the child's parents.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Shilan turned her head and saw a fat man surrounding her two children, so she quickly went over.
"Are you the child's parent? Hello, I'm the assistant director from the film crew next door. This is my business card. I see your child is adorable, and we happen to be short of a child actor for our film crew. I'd like to invite your child to give it a try."
The assistant director took out his business card and handed it to Shen Shilan.
Shen Shilan glanced at the business card, then said to Le Bao:
"Baby, do you want to play?"
He was talking about playing.
Their children can play if they're interested; there's no need to worry about anything else.
"Uncle, let's play."
When it comes to having fun, isn't that what she's best at?
The assistant director led three people behind the director who was cursing.
He leaned close to the director's ear and pointed to Le Bao behind him.
The director listened to his words and turned around with hope in his eyes.
The moment she turned around and saw Le Bao, all the hope in her eyes vanished completely.
"What I'm looking for is a poor girl who's had a hard life since childhood, someone who never even had enough to eat, a timid and submissive maid. And look what you've brought me!"
"You're so fat, do you look like you're never even full? Are you brain-dead?"
The director turned his anger on the assistant director.
The assistant director was also aggrieved. If he had a choice, would he have hired a chubby guy? It's just that they couldn't find anyone at the last minute.
"Hmph, I'm not fat, you're the bad guy."
Upon hearing this, Le Bao immediately objected.
She's not fat at all; she's so thin.
The little guy ran up to the director, put his hands on his hips, tilted his head back, and glared angrily at the director.
Lu Shulang followed, stepped on the director's foot, and then stood next to his sister.
"Get her out of here, don't let her get in my way."
The director yelled.
"Who are you calling an eyesore?"
