"The variety show is preparing for its second season now, and I have a decent relationship with their directors. Last season, they cast an award-winning actress, a singer with the voice of an angel, an Olympic champion, and a wealthy socialite."
"This time they plan to use the same formula. During the New Year’s, photos of your family of three were taken, and they have plans to invite you."
"They previously asked for your contact information, which I didn’t provide, but the directors asked me to check with you to see if you are interested."
Ye Wanwan slightly furrowed her brows, listening seriously to Tang Xiaorou’s words, but she didn’t immediately agree. In fact, she wanted to flat-out refuse.
To speak frankly, people from prestigious families like yours typically think that those in the entertainment industry are not good.
Tang Xiaorou wouldn’t feel snubbed by a refusal from Ye Wanwan. She was simply making a suggestion.
She cleared her throat, and said softly to Ye Wanwan, "Actually, there’s another reason."
Ye Wanwan looked at Tang Xiaorou, waiting for her to continue.
Perhaps because gossiping felt awkward, Tang Xiaorou was somewhat nervous as she pursed her lips, "The thing is, last season, the actress Zhou’s daughter actually has autism."
Ye Wanwan’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Tang Xiaorou.
"Everyone thought Jiaxin was crybaby, couldn’t be apart from her parents, was young, and a little girl, so she was naturally timid, but actually, it was because she has autism."
"I only found out when I overheard Zhou talking on the phone when I visited the set."
"Zhou’s ex-husband went bankrupt and owed a lot of money. At that time, Zhou, still a third-tier actress, was ready to quit after having a child but was forced to start acting again to make money."
"While she was busy working, she neglected her daughter, who was only looked after by a nanny. I suspect the lack of communication and human contact for a long time caused the child’s condition," Tang Xiaorou speculated.
Ye Wanwan was stunned for a while before asking, "And now?"
"The variety show is getting ready to film its second season, right? They need to contact the previous guests to shoot a promotional video. It seems the girl has gotten much better, at least not as fearful of people as she was on the show before," Tang Xiaorou said truthfully.
Originally, she truly hadn’t intended to bring up the show to Ye Wanwan, aware that traditionally prestigious families value privacy and wouldn’t want their wives and children to be in the public eye.
It was only after hearing Ye Wanwan mention letting Zhouzhou interact more with other children that she thought of it.
Ye Wanwan’s gaze drifted to Zhouzhou. They had actually taken him to see a psychologist before the New Year.
But according to the psychologist’s observation, Zhouzhou didn’t seem to have any psychological issues.
Perhaps because Ye Wan and Shen Yi were with him, Zhouzhou knew he was safe; he did not cry or make a fuss and was even able to respond to the psychologist’s questions.
In the end, the psychologist’s verdict was that Zhouzhou’s condition leaned more towards a delayed cognitive development.
So now they still regularly take Zhouzhou to see Dr. Huang.
As for Dr. Huang’s advice to have Zhouzhou interact more with the outside world, it was because of his developmental delays and his extremely quiet nature.
They worried that over time, this would make Zhouzhou gradually unwilling or even afraid to face unfamiliar environments outside.
