Chapter 184

"Hold on a second."

Director Xiao Chen stepped forward after pondering for a while, his expression somewhat solemn.

"First, we acknowledge that Ye Ye has won the victory in this competition. However, considering that the other guests have also worked hard, I propose raising the donation amount to 300,000 and donating it to the local children in the name of all the guests. What do you guys think?"

With years of experience in the Entertainment Industry, the guests more or less understood Director Xiao Chen's intention.

It was clear that the viewers watching the live stream were unhappy with Ye Ye's behavior and felt he didn't deserve the title of "Peace Ambassador." Therefore, Director Xiao Chen came up with this method to involve all the guests, hoping to ease the viewers' anger.

This method would neither hurt Ye Ye's feelings nor upset the audience—a fair solution.

However, what Director Xiao Chen didn't expect was that Ye Ye, a clever child, understood his intention. The little boy's face darkened like a thunderstorm.

"Director, I disagree! This is not what we agreed on!"

Ye Ye interrupted without hesitation.

Director Xiao Chen gave Ye Ye an unexpected look, then walked over and crouched down to quietly comfort him. "Ye Ye, the program team wants to contribute more love to the children here. Although you've won, the rest of us also want to contribute our share of effort. What do you think?"

Director Xiao Chen's voice softened, adopting a tone typically used to coax children.

But Ye Ye was not appeased. In a loud voice that everyone could hear, he said, "I still disagree! What you're doing is breaking your promise! It's too much! Why shouldn't I get my reward? I don't want to contribute any love. I just want to get my reward, and no one else should get it!"

His small body trembled as he shouted, scaring everyone present.

The kids, especially Lan Lan, were so frightened that tears started flowing, and they hid behind their fathers.

The adults frowned at Ye Ye, feeling their eardrums endure pain that shouldn't be experienced at this age.

Ye Ye's scream was comparable to a screeching siren, a real torment.

Before Ye Ye could feel satisfied, a sharp pain spread across his face.

"Ah!"

Ye Ye screamed as his small body fell to the ground, landing hard on his bottom, a red slap mark on his face.

"Why did you hit me!"

Ye Ye's mother said coldly, "Have you made enough trouble?! We're filming the show. Don't say things you shouldn't! If your father sees how you're behaving online, what will he think of you?!"

At the mention of "father," Ye Ye's eyes widened in fear, and the arrogance he had just shown vanished, like a deflated balloon.

[Why is Ye Ye not afraid of his mom, but terrified of his dad?]

[This mother is really lacking in authority! Even a child isn't afraid of her! She has to bring up the father to control him!]

[Does anyone know what Ye Ye's father does?]

[I know! I know! Ye Ye's father is someone in the industry, so he's had way more resources than others since he was young!]

[There are rumors that he's a big shot in the Entertainment Industry, named Liu Zhi, a famous producer.]

[But why doesn't Ye Ye have the same last name as his father?]

Some viewers had caught on, but most were still clueless about what was happening.

But the viewers on site had already understood everything through Yi Tiantian's words.

"Ye Ye isn't just scared of his sugar daddy because he always comes up with crazy stuff to torment him!"

"But I didn't expect that Ye Ye's own mother would use the sugar daddy to intimidate her son!"

"This is just inhumane!"

Everyone gasped, realizing that even someone as despicable as her had a pitiful side.

Ye Ye's volatile temper and strange behavior are definitely linked to his upbringing.

After hearing Yi Tiantian's words, everyone shot sideways glances at Ye Ye's mother, because she was completely unworthy of the title of mother and didn't deserve to be Ye Ye's mom!

What kind of mother would hand her son over to a sugar daddy?!

She must be obsessed with money!

Noticing the disapproving looks from the crowd, Ye Ye's mother awkwardly cleared her throat but wasn't about to let Ye Ye off the hook.

Because she knew that if she didn't act quickly, Ye Ye would only become harder to control later.

Determined to press on, Ye Ye's mother steeled herself and continued, "Don't forget, when we get back, you'll have to report to Dad. Dad will check your performance on the show!"

Hearing this, Ye Ye's face went pale, and he stammered, unable to form a single coherent word. He hung his head, looking like he was facing a major disaster.

"If you don't perform well, Dad will take you to the study and have a serious talk with you."

Ye Ye's mother sneered, clearly relishing the power she gained by using someone else's influence to control her son.

Just as she expected, Ye Ye lost his arrogance.

But just then, Yi Tiantian's voice rang out again.

"It seems Ye Ye's mother doesn't know that the sugar daddy is about to go bankrupt!"

"Ye Ye's sugar daddy, Liu Zhi, has failed in his investments and is now in financial trouble. Soon, his company will declare bankruptcy, and there will be no more opportunities to keep Ye Ye under his wing!"

"Liu Zhi will likely fall victim to a scam overseas, disappearing in Cambodia, possibly captured and sent to a scam operation."

Although Ye Ye still had his head down after hearing Yi Tiantian's words, a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

He seemed to see hope for the future, hope to be free from the sugar daddy!

But Ye Ye's mother wasn't as happy, because if Liu Zhi really went bankrupt as Yi Tiantian had said, then Ye Ye's career in the entertainment industry would definitely be affected, and they wouldn't make as much money in the future!

A flustered look flashed in Ye Ye's mother's eyes, and she tightly pressed her lips together, her eyes darting around as she considered the truth of the matter.

After all, in their eyes, Liu Zhi was a god-like figure. Without him, Ye Ye wouldn't have reached such heights.

While the Ye Ye mother-son duo were lost in their own thoughts, Director Xiao Chen stepped forward.

After hearing Yi Tiantian's words, he was even more determined to change the reward.

Because neither Ye Ye nor his mother deserved to call themselves a "Peace Ambassador!"

"Alright, that's enough for today. We have a full schedule tomorrow, everyone. In the morning, we'll visit the largest rose field in the area, and in the afternoon, we'll organize a charity event with the local community and give the prepared aid items to the kids!"

Director Xiao Chen concluded, putting an end to today's fiasco.

This time, upon learning that the investor was facing potential bankruptcy and possible fraud, Ye Ye finally had no objections and readily accepted Director Xiao Chen's arrangements.

Ye Ye and his mom were thrilled, as one of their main reasons for joining the show was to help the local kids.

After giving a quick rundown of tomorrow’s plan, Director Xiao Chen called it a wrap for the day, and we all headed back to our hotel rooms.

Back in the hotel room, Yi Tiantian felt like his head was spinning.

This was his first time around so many kids, and most of them were especially energetic.

After finishing the simple meal delivered by the hotel, Yi Tiantian drifted off to sleep, lost in thought.

When he woke up the next morning, the sun was already streaming through the window.

A warm ray of sunlight filtered through the window and gently touched his face.

Yi Tiantian's eyelids flickered twice, then he opened his eyes.

Like Ye Ye and his mom, Yi Tiantian was eagerly looking forward to the day, especially the afternoon when they would distribute aid to the local kids.

Yi Tiantian came fully prepared, his suitcase packed to the brim.

But first, in the morning, they would visit the region’s largest rose garden. The roses here were known for their large, vibrant blooms, with a beauty and fragrance unmatched anywhere else.

With the perfect weather, visiting the rose garden today was an ideal way to spend the morning.

As the guests arrived at the flower field, Yi Tiantian stepped out of the car and was immediately awestruck by the breathtaking scene before him.

Vast fields of roses stretched as far as the eye could see, like a crimson ocean. A gentle breeze rustled through the petals, releasing a sweet, intoxicating fragrance that filled the air.

Xie Niao threw her arms wide and exclaimed, "Wow, this is the most beautiful rose field I've ever seen! There are so many!"

Yi Tiantian also chimed in, "Yes! This really lives up to being the world's largest rose garden!"

Xie Yi looked at Yi Tiantian's profile. In the glow of the vibrant rose field, his skin looked even paler, and his eyes sparkled with joy.

"Hmm, it really is pretty."

Xie Yi glanced at Yi Tiantian's profile and murmured.

Xie Yi had only meant to casually comment, but his sister Xie Niao, ever perceptive, noticed something off.

"Wait a minute, brother, what exactly are you saying is pretty?"

Xie Niao had been admiring the rose field just a moment ago, but now her focus abruptly turned to Xie Yi, and her voice carried a playful edge.

At the same time, Yi Tiantian glanced over, curiosity piqued.
