Chapter 13: Chapter 13: There’s No Obstacle That Can’t Be Overco Chapter 13: Chapter 13: There’s No Obstacle That Can’t Be Overco Luo Ning had called ahead, so by the ti she arrived ho, her mother wasn’t asleep yet.
Seeing the elegant and beautiful woman sitting in the living room, Luo Ning’s eyes reddened.
“Mom, I’ve missed you and Xixi!” Luo Ning changed her shoes and quickly walked over.
Her biggest worry after her death had been her mother and brother; sadly, the book had an unfinished ending, and she had never seen what beca of them.
Jiang Xinxin’s face was full of warmth, and she reached out to hug Luo Ning, “We missed you too.”
“Why did you decide to co back today?” She had always been attentive to her daughter’s situation, aware of the Weibo issue and the contract termination.
Luo Ning replied, “I’ve sorted out everything at work, and I’ve co back this ti to take you and Xixi to live with .”
“I broke up with Ji Xinghang and moved out of his apartnt, renting a new place in another neighborhood.” She did not intend to hide it.
Jiang Xinxin’s face showed surprise, but she quickly composed herself, her eyes carrying an extra dose of sympathy for her daughter, “No matter what you decide, Mom will support you.”
Her daughter had been so protective and cherished her relationship with Ji Xinghang. If she chose to break up, it must have been because he did sothing that hurt her deeply.
She had seen Ji Xinghang’s fans berating Ningning on Weibo and was angry about it.
That’s why she would not advocate for reconciliation, instead feeling even more heartache for her daughter.
Luo Ning took her mother by the hand and sat down, “I knew Mom would support !”
“You and Xixi co with in a couple of days; you’ll keep company.”
“The house I rented has two large outdoor balconies and a sunroom; you can bring your plants over too. I want to live with you guys, so I can better help Xixi manage his condition.”
She snuggled up against her mother’s shoulder with a voice soft with coquettish dependency.
In her last life, her mother was very reluctant to leave here, and Luo Ning later understood it was because of that family, so she didn’t insist.
But who would have expected that woman to be so viciously insane? Once she found out where her mother was, she made a move, and both her mother and brother narrowly escaped harm.
It seed that trouble was unavoidable, and rather than evade it, it was better to face it head-on, especially since the fault was originally on the other side; the scores of the past life needed to be settled as well.
Now she couldn’t bear to have them so far away; she had to bring them close to feel secure.
Jiang Xinxin was taken aback, then, after a mont’s pause, she wore an indulgent smile, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Having her daughter alone out there, she felt uneasy too.
As for those people, if they encountered them, so be it. There were no hurdles they couldn’t overco; her daughter was more important.
“Is Xixi asleep already?” Luo Ning asked.
Jiang Xinxin said, “He felt unwell this afternoon and dozed off; I didn’t tell him you were coming back.”
Luo Ning stood up, “I’m going to see him.”
“Go ahead,” Jiang Xinxin nodded.
Luo Ning opened Xixi’s bedroom door; the dim bedside lamp only made his pallid, bloodless face stand out more.
She walked over and sat by the bed, seeing his furrowed brows and restless sleep, she tenderly touched his forehead with her hand.
Then she took out the newly drawn talisman and hung it around his neck, waiting there for a while before leaving the bedroom.
Her brother was sixteen this year, and because he was born in a yin year, yin month, yin day, yin hour, he had an inherently cold constitution and had been physically frail since childhood.
Before their father disappeared in an accident, he had been able to keep his brother’s condition in check, but after Dad was gone, his brother’s health grew worse, and he couldn’t even manage regular classes.
He spent half of each month in dical care at the hospital, using expensive dicines and equipnt, so the costs were significant.
Her mother didn’t work but had a natural talent for growing flowers; she managed to cultivate quite a few valuable varieties, selling them to cover her brother’s hospital expenses.
But to solve her brother’s health issues, they still had to rely on non-scientific thods.
The next morning, Luo Ning was the first to get up, then she went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
When Luo Xi woke up, he felt much more spirited than usual, and discovered a talisman hanging around his neck. A happy expression appeared on his face as he quickly pulled open the door and went out.
“Sis, you’re back!” He walked into the kitchen and stood beside Luo Ning, tilting his head and smiling at her.
Luo Ning said with a smile, “Yeah, go wash up. I’ll have breakfast ready very soon.”
“It slls so good, I love the food sister makes the most.” Luo Xi was very fond of and reliant on his sister.
Luo Ning touched his head, “Then eat a little more in a bit.”
The family had a warm breakfast together, and Luo Xi beca even happier when he heard about moving.
After staying here for two days and having her flowers shipped, Luo Ning took them back to their new ho.
Xi Shu had already helped purchase all the living supplies, so they could just move in with their bags.
Jiang Xinxin and Luo Xi both liked the place. After settling the flowers, Luo Ning drove them out for a al.
In the following days, Luo Ning accompanied her mother and brother to explore the surroundings.
Her talisman drawing skills were now very advanced, so she could barely suppress the yin cold qi inside Luo Xi’s body, which ant his health improved quite a bit, and he no longer fell ill while going out and about.
In the blink of an eye, it was the following week, and the ti for Luo Ning to participate in the live reality show had arrived.
Luo Ning made arrangents for her mother and brother, and early the next morning, she and Xi Shu set off in the production team’s car.
This was a new live reality show combining a boy group talent show and an outdoor reality show, a novel experint.
In addition to the experience, Luo Ning and the other guests were required to help the talent show contestants find inspiration outdoors for songwriting and dance choreography, followed by a competition.
The the for the first episode was “Idyllic Countryside,” requiring the guests and contestants to experience farm life in a remote rural area near a small county.
Slow-paced reality shows like this, where a group of celebrities experience farm life in the countryside, were now popular. Unlike other shows which were fild and edited before airing, this one would be live stread.
The slogan was for the contestants to experience it firsthand, then create music and choreographies based on each the, before returning to the city to start public performances and competitions.
They even implented live voting, where the most popular contestants would continue to the next episode, while those at the bottom would be eliminated.
The drive to the small county took about three hours, so they set off at around seven in the morning.
When they arrived around eleven in the morning, the live stream started the mont the guests got off the bus.
With top-tier celebrities and several popular stars invited, and the novelty of the show, there was a sizable viewing audience.
Luo Ning was the fourth to arrive, and she followed the production team’s staff into a small farmhouse as soon as she got out of the car.
The live cara followed her as well, and the reality show was divided into several live stream windows.
Each guest had an individual live stream window that was used when they were separated from the contestants, so viewers could see everyone’s activities at any given mont.
There was also a main live stream window for when everyone was together, which viewers could click to watch as they wished.
Most of the viewers squatting in Luo Ning’s live room were her fans, all eagerly exclaiming how beautiful Ningbao looked.
At that mont, three n were already seated in the courtyard.
They were the forty-sothing actor Wei Yao, handso and known for his strong acting skills; the middle-aged singing king Chai Jing who had once been very popular in the music scene; and the young singing and dancing male singer Tong Jia, who had also hosted a show.
“Hello, teachers!” Luo Ning greeted the three n with a smile as she entered.
The three of them also greeted Luo Ning politely, “Hello, Teacher Luo, co and sit over here!”
While they weren’t overly enthusiastic towards Luo Ning, they weren’t cold either.
