Ch 25: Caught Off Guard
Huo Xinghai was stunned for a moment, then very cleverly chuckled, “Look at her, where does she look like a mom from head to toe? Biological? My biological Mother is almost fifty this year!”
Gu Qingyin looked down at herself, canvas shoes, wide-leg pants, tight T-shirt.
People would believe it if you said she was an ungraduated college student.
But…
Gu Qingyin strode over and gave Huo Xinghai another big slap, scolding, “Don’t impose your stereotypes on me, your Mother is just like this!”
Huo Xinghai’s tears came out, both from the pain and anger, and he didn’t dare to resist in aggrieved silence.
Huo Xingye’s rare moment of compassion finally surfaced. He opened the paternity test report on his phone and shoved it in front of Huo Xinghai, “Do you want me to read it to you?”
Huo Xinghai was stunned. He took the phone and looked at it back and forth several times, then looked up at Gu Qingyin again.
Gu Qingyin couldn’t help rolling her eyes at him, scolding, “A fool with only looks.”
He clearly looks the most like her, but he didn’t inherit her high IQ at all.
Huo Xinghai’s eyes widened again, belatedly realizing that Gu Qingyin’s appearance was somewhat familiar, especially the shape of her eyebrows and lips, which were exactly the same as his!
Gu Qingyin got angry looking at his silly appearance, coldly snorted and turned her face away, but suddenly heard a clear “Mom” beside her ear!
Gu Qingyin was stunned.
The next second, Huo Xinghai pounced over and knelt at her feet, hugging her leg with tears in his eyes, “Mom!”
Gu Qingyin couldn’t help but shudder, getting goosebumps all over.
Huo Xinghai accepted it too quickly! One second he wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death, and the next second he knelt down and called her Mom, and even used a reduplicative word!
Compared to Huo Xingye, his call of “Mom” was really cheap.
Gu Qingyin smiled insincerely, “May I ask, in your team of mothers, what number am I ranked?”
Huo Xinghai said with tears in his eyes, “I didn’t have my own Mother before, it doesn’t matter how many I recognize, but now I have one!” He took out his phone from his pocket, tapped away, and then held it up for Gu Qingyin to see, “From now on, I only have one Mother!”
Gu Qingyin took a closer look and saw that Huo Xinghai had posted a Weibo.
【I want to participate in a show with my Mom, you won’t disagree, right? @HappyFamily
PS: Solemnly declare! I, Huo Xinghai, only have one Mother in this life! Mom fans, please respect yourselves!】
Gu Qingyin had the urge to cover her face. What was all this, how did it feel a little embarrassing?
The phone dinged, and a comment popped up. It was that Happy Family, and you could see the production crew’s excitement from the reply.
【Welcome top streamer!!!】
“What show is this?” Huo Xingye also saw the Weibo, and he had a bad feeling.
“The most popular domestic parent-child travel live variety show! Three families each season. My opponent is in this season. I met him a few days ago and he mocked me for not having a Mother.” Huo Xinghai was angry in his heart, but looked aggrieved on the surface, “I’m not a child without a Mother!”
After hearing this, Gu Qingyin was both angry and distressed. She immediately forgot her previous unhappiness and nodded vigorously, “Mother will accompany you to participate. I want to see how many guts your opponent has to bully my son!”
Huo Xinghai immediately smiled, “Mom, you’re so good to me!”
Huo Xingye sighed helplessly. They had agreed to make it public together after Third Oldest returned. Now that Second Oldest was taking Gu Qingyin on the show, what if Third Oldest felt that his Mother was biased?
He knew who Second Oldest’s opponent was. Not to mention the previous conflicts, just the fact that the other party mocked Second Oldest for not having a Mother this time deserved an unforgettable lesson.
He used to handle these kinds of things himself, but now it seemed unnecessary.
With Gu Qingyin around, this show would definitely be the happiest one Second Oldest had done since his debut.
Well, now that things had come to this, he could only take it one step at a time.
If he explained it properly, Third Oldest should listen, right?
But thinking of Third Oldest’s stubborn temper, Huo Xingye wasn’t sure.
The production crew moved very quickly and went to Huo Xinghai’s company with the contract that night to sign it.
Huo Xinghai’s agent, Jian Xilin, was dumbfounded. He smiled politely at the people from the production crew, turned around, went out, and opened Weibo with a blank expression, then gasped.
Was Huo Xinghai driven crazy by the stimulation? In order to compete with his opponent, he even faked a Mother!
He angrily dialed Huo Xinghai’s phone, “You! Now! Immediately! Delete that Weibo, and then issue a clarification statement, saying you lost a dare!”
Although he would still be criticized, he could also get a good reputation for being able to take a joke, which was better than being exposed for hiring someone to be his Mother in the future!
Huo Xinghai smiled. After working together for so many years, he knew Jian Xilin very well and also knew what he was worried about.
He couldn’t help but comfort him with a bit of boasting, “Don’t worry, she’s not hired, she’s my biological Mother.”
Jian Xilin: Huh? Do you want to hear what you’re saying? Where did you get a biological Mother!
In the end, with Huo Xinghai’s repeated assurances, Jian Xilin signed the contract with the production crew.
Of course, the main reason was that Huo Xingye sent him a message asking him to implement this work as soon as possible.
With President Huo’s guarantee, even if it was a hired biological Mother, he, Jian Xilin, wouldn’t be afraid!
The production crew left happily, notifying them that the first live broadcast would be this Saturday, starting from the celebrity’s home. At that time, they would come to visit and pick up the guests to the airport.
Jian Xilin smiled and nodded, “Okay, I’ll send you the address later.”
Huo Xinghai’s own home definitely wouldn’t work. It looked like a single dog’s residence, without any family warmth.
Jian Xilin thought with some sarcasm, wasn’t she his biological Mother? A parent-child live broadcast at his Mother’s house was very reasonable.
Thinking like this, his hands didn’t stop, and he asked Huo Xinghai for the address.
Jian Xilin just sent it casually. While editing the message, his mind had already begun to think about which of Huo Xinghai’s properties would be more reasonable as his Mother’s home. If it really didn’t work, he could borrow a set from President Huo.
As a result, before he could come up with one, two, or three ideas, Huo Xinghai sent him an address simply and neatly.
Jian Xilin was stunned for a moment, then sneered. This stinky brat was so well-prepared this time.
Since that was the case, he definitely couldn’t hold him back.
He had to make the worst plans and prepare the best copy. Even if he was about to die, he had to counterattack from a desperate situation!
In the blink of an eye, Saturday arrived.
At seven o’clock in the morning, the live broadcast room opened, and new and old viewers poured in. The live broadcast screen froze for more than ten seconds before returning to normal, followed by a dense barrage of comments.
【Hai Baoer!! Mother is here!!】
【?? Huo Xinghai even has Mom fans? Don’t be too cheap!】
【It’s his business if he doesn’t allow it, it’s my business if I want to be one.】
【Please be aware!!】
【I want to see what Hai Baoer’s biological Mother looks like, whether she’s worthy of my son.】
“Hello! I’m the host Da Hai, long time no see everyone!” A young man appeared in the live broadcast room with a face full of smiles, his tone extremely expectant, “Now, let’s visit top streamer Huo Xinghai’s home together!”
