Chapter 33 - Daughter (1)
Before Nie ChengFeng even got to the parking lot, his cellphone rang. Seeing that it was a call from his mother dearest, he picked it up right away. “Mom?”
“ChengFeng, was AnAn’s cooking especially good?” asked Mother Nie.
“Huh?” It took Nie ChengFeng a couple seconds to wrap his brain around it before he said, “Mom, you watched the airing of ‘Gold Medal Inn’ too?”
“Of course I did! That’s our Nie’s tourist area and we sponsored the show. Naturally I must watch it.” Having said that, her tone changed. “You’ve had a few of her meals too. How come you didn’t help her out at the airport today?”
Nie ChengFeng, “……”
“Mom, I don’t know the ins and outs of the incident. Plus, the reporters didn’t interview me,” explained Nie ChengFeng.
“We’ve only watched one episode and we could see that AnAn never even gave ZiMing an extra look when they were in the same room. How could you not be able to tell when you were there in person day in and day out?” Mother Nie wasn’t too happy.
Nie ChengFeng had no idea that Nie AnAn had casted a spell on his mother. He couldn’t help but ask, “Mom! Why are you defending her so much? Her last name is Nie too. If I don’t know better, I’d think she’s your long-lost daughter!”
Nie ChengFeng didn’t expect his mother to suddenly stop talking from his casual words.
Mother Nie grumbled a little more before she ended the conversation with her son.
When Mr. Nie noticed that his wife looked stupefied, he couldn’t help but ask, “What happened?”
“Do you think AnAn might be our long-lost daughter?” said Mrs. Nie deep in thought “I had such kindred feeling the moment that I saw her. The more I thought about it, the more I think she looks a lot like us.”
“I don’t think so? Our daughter died in the fire during the accident back in the days. I don’t think she’d still be alive.” Mr. Nie expressed his disbelief.
“Well, in either case, I just feel this kindredship towards her. And you like her too.” As though suddenly remembering something, Mrs. Nie’s eyes lit up. “Didn’t your dad wanted to hire a nutritionist lately? AnAn seems like she’d make a good one! Let’s have ChengFeng bring her here!”
Mr. Nie seemed quite happy about that suggestion as well. “Good idea. Since ChengFeng knows her, let’s have him invite her over!”
As the two were discussing over here, an upset appeared on the internet.
As the clip posted by Huo YanXiao was viewed by more and more people, all of a sudden, the news that Qin ZiMing had made up Nie AnAn’s crush quickly rose up to the top searches list.
Shortly thereafter, Director Cheng posted on Wechat. “I want to clarify that the secret guest list of ‘Gold Medal Inn’ was confidential prior to the airing of the show. There was no such thing as any cast member joining the show for any special guest. I met Miss Nie AnAn during the testing of a nutritionist examination and I was the one who extended the olive branch and asked her to join the show. During the filming of the show, Miss AnAn had been a very responsible nutritionist and there weren’t any personal or hidden agenda. I hope that our fans online would use their own judgment and not believe in any rumors.”
In addition to Director Cheng’s announcement on Wechat, other guests at the Yun Lai Inn had posted their own messages.
Chen Yanshu: “Our AnAn was pretty much staying in the kitchen the entire time. She was like a Chinese Martha Stewart, okay?”
Feng Wei: “If little sister AnAn was the girl with those tattoos, okay, I will buy that. But I am sure that was from some cosplay event. I would like to ask our fans to not make any quick judgments. AnAn has no doubt been the little lamb on our show!”
Even Zhang ZhouYu, coming out of retirement, posted on Wechat: “I urge our fans to stop internet bullying and not to twist the truth and hurt a 20-something young girl.”
After that, many of the other tourists who visited Yun Lai Inn also spoke up on Wechat. Some said they have met Nie AnAn in person. As much as she was a snack herself, her cooking was even tastier. All the so-called breaking news was just irrational slandering. And they would support her forever!
