The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Chapter 66 – What Was Meng Yan Thinking? (3)

As far as the children’s custody was concerned, there had been no competition during the negotiation period.

Meng Yan was a busy man, who sometimes would be gone for four to five months for filming. He wouldn’t have time to take care of the children…

The young one was only six; she needed someone there to take care of her every step of the day.

Lin Yiyi, on the other hand, wanted the custody of the children.

She figured that as long as she has their children, she’d have more excuses to go see Meng Yan.

And Lin Yiyi had, indeed, looked for a string of excuses to meet with Meng Yan for a long period of time after the divorce, making it difficult for Meng Yan to avoid her.

Meng Yan used to fall for that every time at the beginning, but over time he had gone numb.

He even stopped visiting his children as often as he used to.

On the other hand, inside the Lin’s mansion.

The family that were watching the most recent entertainment news and happily listening to all sorts of gossip were all stunned, “?????”

Meng Yan and Zhang Xiying had only been married for a little over a month. They certainly didn’t have a child busting out of a rock.

Not to mention that Zhang Xiying had been busy with her filming career prior to that. There had never been any news that she was pregnant…

One thing was obvious, Meng Yan’s two children were sitting on the couch right at this moment.

Neither one of them realized that it was their turn to be gossiped about.

Ms. Lin Ping was the first to recollect herself.

She even gave up on her favorite sunflower seeds, turned, looked straight at Lin Yiyi, and started throwing sharp words at her, “Just how useless are you? Why would you agree to let that actor bring his child onto the show? I am going to say out right now, that is a bad idea! Don’t you try to pull anything on me and let them onto that stupid show.”

Lin Yiyi, too, was caught off guard by the news followed by being lectured by this lady here. She felt pretty wronged herself.

“No, mom, I have no idea what’s going on either. This was the first time I’ve heard about it too…”

Lin Yiyi frowned. “I haven’t even seen Meng Yan for a while now. The last time I saw him was a month and a half ago. He never brought this up to me. I am as confused as you are right now.”

“You still dare meet up with him?”

Ms. Lin Ping continued with her verbal attacks at her daughter.

Lin Yiyi resigned and said, “That was Shanshan’s birthday and he came with a gift. I can’t not let him see his own daughter.”

They usually wanted younger children to be on these types of shows.

Kids were naïve and still grappling with all the social norms and would occasionally blurt out some unexpected and funny things.

Meng Yuran was already 13 years old, so most likely Shanshan was who they had in mind.

The crux of the matter was, they were completely blindsided.

They didn’t even find out until the news was already bubbling on the internet.

What was that Meng Yan thinking?

It was true that Lin Yiyi hadn’t seen that ex-husband of hers in a long time. She hasn’t even heard of his name lately….

She thought about it for a bit and said, “Perhaps the show only wanted to tie themselves to Meng Yan to drum up more publicity. Meng Yan would have contacted us if he was really going to go on the show.”

Meng Yuran rubbed his sister on her head with a cold look.

It’s a shame that his sister was the one that they were after. If it was him, he’d grumble so loudly that they would wish they were never born.

The little girl, who had no idea what was going on, looked from her mother to her grandmother, then to her brother. She had no idea why everybody seemed so upset….

She looked down, let’s give the lollipop a lick first.
