Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 917: Chapter 917: Favoritism

"Lucy, if you’re looking for a model, how about Xie Ni? She’s our Star Bright spokesperson," Tang Yue introduced.

Lucy tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "That’s fine too, but I think her image is also quite good."

Lucy and Tang Yue spoke in a mix of Chinese and F language.

Zhang Minmin stood on the side, as if listening to a heavenly book, utterly lost, only knowing that this beautiful foreigner quite liked her. After a brief introduction, Zhang Minmin greeted everyone and went in to see the children.

"Thank you both moms for the gifts," Lucy repeated her gratitude numerous times.

Mo Xiaolin and Zhang Hualian knew Lucy was returning to F country, so they packed almost half a box of specialties from Jing City, scarves from Su City, and homemade food by Zhang Hualian for Lucy; it was a heartfelt gesture.

"You’re welcome to come to Jing City again," Tang Yue said while sending Lucy off into the car, warmly inviting her to visit Jing City again when she has time.

After sending Lucy off and returning to the living room, they saw Zhang Minmin teasing the kids. She exaggeratedly said, "Chenchen’s eyes are so big, black and bright like grapes, really beautiful."

"Although Zaozao’s eyes are smaller, they’re very spirited!"

Zhang Minmin glanced at Zaozao and then at Chenchen, their soft and cuddly appearance made them look especially adorable.

"Don’t pinch."

Seeing that Zhang Minmin was about to pinch Chenchen’s face, Tang Yue quickly stopped her, saying, "Minmin, you must control your hands. If Chenchen starts drooling, it’ll all be your fault in the future."

Zhang Minmin was startled, quickly let go of her hands, and asked in disbelief, "Xiao Yue, you wouldn’t lie to me, right? Just by pinching her face, she’ll drool?"

"What’s the benefit of lying to you?" Tang Yue glanced at her, sat on the sofa, and invited her to have some fruit.

Zaozao and Chenchen lay on their small bed, happily playing by themselves, waving their little fists and feet.

"But, I really want to pinch!"

Zhang Minmin gazed longingly at Chenchen’s tender cheeks, really wanting to pinсh!

Tang Yue changed the topic, asking, "Did you finish filming your movie?"

"Finished, about to join the next project, it’s the one I told you about last time," Zhang Minmin recalled, pursing her lips, and looked at Tang Yue with grievance, saying, "Xiao Yue, you’re biased."

Tang Yue: "..."

"Both are spokespeople, Xie Ni can go to the Spring Festival Gala, but I can’t!" Zhang Minmin pouted, accusing Tang Yue of favoritism.

Tang Yue: "..."

"Xiao Yue, let me go to the Spring Festival Gala too," Zhang Minmin edged closer, holding Tang Yue’s hand, and said coquettishly, "Xiao Yue, I know you can do it, right?"

"No, I can’t."

Tang Yue shook her head, saying, "I’m not a big shot, I can’t do that, Xie Ni can go to the Spring Festival Gala mainly because of her strong capabilities, she just needed a platform, an opportunity to showcase herself."

"Now her image has changed, the album she released this time is hugely popular, plus Chu Hong gave her a push, it was only natural for her to end up at the Spring Festival Gala."

Tang Yue carefully explained, hoping that Zhang Minmin won’t have a knot in her heart because of this.

"Fine, so you’re saying I’m not capable enough,"

Zhang Minmin said with a grievance.

Tang Yue shrugged helplessly; even though she didn’t say it explicitly, that was the implication, besides, Zhang Minmin is in television, wishing to be on the Jing City Spring Festival Gala isn’t easy.

Xie Ni is different, being a singing star, and after becoming famous, she’s done a lot of charity, her singing is great, and many of her songs fit the theme of the Spring Festival Gala well.

"Minmin, if you can’t be on the Jing City Spring Festival Gala, there are other satellite TV Spring Festival shows you can try; as long as you work hard, you’ll definitely have opportunities," Tang Yue consoled.

Zhang Minmin pouted, saying, "Forget it, I’m not interested in the Spring Festival Gala anymore, I can’t sing, and I’m not great at dancing either, better not go and make a fool of myself."

Tang Yue: Who was just clamoring about favoritism and demanding to go to the Spring Festival Gala?

"Oh, right, I brought diapers for Zaozao and Chenchen," Zhang Minmin mentioned diapers, and Tang Yue couldn’t help but interrupt, saying, "Minmin, you must stop buying them, otherwise, how old will the kids be before they finish using them?"

"I’ve asked properly, they’ll last until they’re one year old," Zhang Minmin blinked, saying, "You mustn’t use them sparingly, they’ll last until next fall."

Tang Yue simply didn’t want to comment, she said, "If the diaper factory sees you buying like this, would they think you’re selling diapers?"

"Totally," Zhang Minmin laughed while recounting, "I wore a mask, and the person didn’t recognize me, kept giving me hints, even wanted to invite me for a meal, probably thinking I was selling diapers and wanted me to stock more?"

The diapers Zhang Minmin bought were all the best quality.

"Pfft,"

Tang Yue couldn’t help but chuckle at Zhang Minmin’s description of the situation, even though she wasn’t there, she could imagine that manager must have desperately been trying to curry favor with Zhang Minmin, right?

Oh, right.

Tang Yue stood up, saying, "Help me watch the kids for a bit."

She went back to her room and soon came out with a small box, handed it over, saying, "Your birthday is coming soon, I’ve prepared a gift for you for a while, now that I see you, I’ll give it to you first, happy birthday in advance."

There were so many diapers from Zhang Minmin that she felt embarrassed to accept them.

"Wow!"

Zhang Minmin looked expectantly at Tang Yue, opened the box, and saw a bracelet, a new one from Kaya, with a four-leaf clover design, extremely beautiful in style. When she wore it on her wrist, it made her wrist look slender and gorgeous.

"I love it, I really love it," Zhang Minmin exclaimed in excitement, holding the bracelet, almost wanting to hug Tang Yue and give her a big kiss.

"Glad you like it, I thought you’d love it as soon as I saw it," Tang Yue mentioned when she went shopping for gifts and spotted this bracelet, thinking Zhang Minmin would love it.

"Xiao Yue, I won’t say you’re biased anymore," Zhang Minmin said happily.

The afternoon passed quickly, and when Zhang Tingyu rushed from the law firm, they were getting ready to eat. Zhang Tingyu had brought some small toys, all for the two children.

"It’s been so long since the three of us gathered," Zhang Tingyu said sentimentally. After starting her internship, she’s getting busier, and each of them is busy with their own career, and she dearly misses those high school days.

"Tingyu, you’re increasingly looking like a lawyer."

Zhang Minmin assessed Zhang Tingyu, she wore a simple work outfit, although plain, it appeared very professional and poised.

"I am a lawyer," Zhang Tingyu rolled her eyes, asking, "When are you leaving?"

"You just got here, and you’re already chasing me away?" Zhang Minmin glared at her, saying, "And to think I even brought you lots of good snacks!"
