Rebirth in Showbiz: How to Win the Showbiz Emperor's Heart?

Tong Yan listened to Tang Ci talk about how unwell Grandmaster Tang was all the way back, eager to see him, which is why she rushed back as fast as she could.

But life is full of surprises, and unexpected events are everywhere.

Where is the supposedly unwell Grandmaster Tang?

Where is the supposed emergency in the hospital?

So who is the person gleefully playing with the parrot?

She must be seeing a fake Grandmaster Tang!

Tang Ci coughed slightly.

Grandmaster Tang turned around and saw them, startled, then hid the bird he was playing with behind his back and said with a smile, ”You’ve arrived.”

Tong Yan hadn’t responded before she saw Grandmaster Tang nonchalantly clutch his chest, groan, weaken back onto the bed, cough a few times, and say weakly, ”Ah, you’re here.”

Tang Ci’s eyebrows twitched, oh, the old man!

Tong Yan: ...

This is working? Does he think she’s blind?

Isn’t this fake act by Grandmaster Tang a bit too much?

In fact, given the speed of Grandmaster Tang’s recent actions, he’s not the least bit inferior to young people.

So where did the emergency come from?

Though she’s happy Grandmaster Tang is fine, but clearly, he’s just playing with her!

Tong Yan no longer knew what expression to make, her face blank, ”Grandpa Tang, it’s good you’re alright.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Grandmaster Tang weakly opened his mouth, ”I’m not well, my chest hurts.”

What could Tong Yan say to that, she couldn’t utter a word, certainly not straightforwardly say, Grandpa, I just saw you bouncing around with the parrot, stop pretending.

Pointing out such an obvious thing would put everyone in an awkward spot, which wouldn’t be good.

So the best course of action was to nod silently.

Clearly, Grandmaster Tang was a bit embarrassed about his earlier actions, but he’s old, who would dare to oppose him, ”Yan, you don’t believe me?”

Tong Yan remained expressionless, should she say she believes or not, not believing would go against her conscience, but believing would make her a fool.

It’s simply a tough dilemma.

At this moment, the parrot unexpectedly spoke, ”Fool, fool, fool!”

Tong Yan’s expression became even more wooden at that moment.

She had every reason to firmly believe that the parrot was mocking her.

Tong Yan chuckled darkly, then turned to ask Grandmaster Tang, ”Grandpa Tang, I’d like to eat steamed parrot, I wonder if you could bear to part with it?”

Grandmaster Tang shivered and quickly explained, ”This parrot often says things like that, it’s not targeting you.”

Tong Yan silently stared at him without speaking.

Grandmaster Tang coughed twice, changing the subject, ”Yan, I had Little Ci call you back partly because I haven’t seen you in so long and missed you, and also because...I’m old and don’t know when...”

The illness pretense had just failed, it wouldn’t be wise to make up more nonsense now.

Grandmaster Tang thought for a moment and decided to speak frankly, ”Yan, I’m getting on in years and have no other desires now, my greatest hope is to see Little Ci get married and have children, then I can play with birds and hug grandkids, but this kid never seems to have someone by his side, I’m really anxious about it. If he hadn’t spilled his heart out after having a drink not long ago, I wouldn’t have known he’s always been interested in you. And you’re also single, how about you two get together...”

He intended to use the illness ploy to get those two kids together, but it got uncovered, if he’d known earlier, he would’ve endured it.

Tong Yan interrupted him, ”Grandpa, who told you I was single? I have a boyfriend, his name is Bo Yimo.”
