Ch 29: Online, waiting, it’s quite urgent
Director Qian held up a loudspeaker, “Is Gu Qingyin really Huo Xinghai’s biological mother? Please answer and explain!”
As soon as these words came out, the entire venue was silent, and Fu Zimo’s schadenfreude was barely suppressed.
The Lin family siblings exchanged a glance, both shocked and expectant—they were also very curious about this question!
Huo Xinghai looked at the director with a blank expression. The man who usually always had a smile on his face was especially frightening when he turned cold.
The director was sweating from the stare, and explained with a dry laugh, “This is a question that netizens are particularly concerned about. The questions for the other two families were also raised by netizens. We only selected one of them…”
It’s already very conscientious! Because if some questions were asked, their livestream would really be blown up.
Huo Xinghai still stared at the director without speaking, already starting to regret that bringing Gu Qingyin to participate in the program might have been a mistake.
“Can we start answering now?” Gu Qingyin asked in her usual tone.
She was already prepared to be made fun of, but that’s it? This year’s netizens aren’t very good.
Huo Xinghai lowered his eyes, silently held up the whiteboard, paused slightly, and began to write.
Gu Qingyin also started answering, her expression far more relaxed than outsiders thought.
The director breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace. When Huo Xinghai had a cold face, he was quite like the head of the Huo Family, making people unable to breathe.
Before long, the mother and son raised their answer boards together.
The two’s answers were surprisingly consistent. The four large characters scrawled on the boards—None of your business!
The director and guests on the scene: …
The netizens in the livestream: …
They racked their brains but never expected such an answer. Good heavens, directly confronting, mainly not indulging anyone.
Although it seemed very irritating, especially for those netizens who asked the questions, you couldn’t say it was unreasonable. Because the right to answer was in Huo Xinghai and Gu Qingyin’s hands. Whether to answer was their choice, and how to answer was even more their freedom.
No one has an obligation to satisfy other people’s curiosity, even celebrities.
A trace of annoyance flashed in the Lin family siblings’ eyes. They could actually answer like that! They were too honest!
The Fu family mother and son were annoyed and raised an objection at the same time.
“This is an evasive answer, it can’t count!” Fu Zimo said forcefully, “Either answer again, or it doesn’t count as a point.”
“Why?” Gu Qingyin looked at the director, “Isn’t this game called ‘Tacit Understanding Question and Answer’? Our answering ideas are so unique that they can collide, isn’t that tacit enough?”
Huo Xinghai nodded in agreement, “The game didn’t say that you must write the correct answer, as long as my mom and I have the same answer, isn’t that right?”
“But you didn’t answer the question directly, it can only be considered muddling through.” Mother Fu said with a condemning expression, righteously saying, “We must honestly face the netizens and not disappoint the fans’ trust.”
Gu Qingyin smiled and asked rhetorically, “Do you know why Xiao Ming’s grandfather can live to ninety-nine?” Without waiting for others to answer, she continued, “Because his grandfather never minds other people’s business.”
Mother Fu was dumbfounded. She felt that Gu Qingyin was mocking her for being a busybody, and at the same time cursing her to die early. She wanted to refute both points, and the two different thoughts collided in her mind, and she choked for a moment.
“Besides,” Gu Qingyin said with a sincere face, “I am really very honest.” She picked up the answer board and pointed to the words on it, “Completely from my real thoughts at the time.”
Huo Xinghai looked approving, “Me too.” He said with a smile, “I’m the most honest person. I always say what I think, and I never bother to lie.”
【Hai Baoer’s three-year old fan certification! This is true! Our Hai Baoer has been too straightforward since his debut!】
【Shouldn’t no one forget about the time when Hai Baoer was almost banned for speaking directly when he first debuted?】
【Netizens, don’t worry about it. What does it have to do with you whether they are mother and son?】
【Take more care of yourself when you have time. Have you worked hard? Has your salary increased?】
In addition to the fans helping, there were also many haters jumping out.
【Feeling guilty, right? Definitely feeling guilty!】
【Isn’t this question very easy to answer? Why evade it?】
【There’s a problem! There’s definitely a problem!】
The two sides each held their own opinions and soon quarreled.
The online noise did not affect the scene. After concentrated discussion, the program team’s planners and directors unanimously agreed that points could be added.
The game bug has always been there, whoever finds it gets the benefit.
The Fu family mother and son shut their mouths in frustration, and the game continued.
The questions after that were very ordinary, the kind that normal mothers and sons could answer with their eyes closed.
However, Gu Qingyin and Huo Xinghai stubbornly answered four questions wrong.
Now even the fans began to suspect, could it really be fake? Could the program team be starting a “real or fake mother and son” routine?
Haters danced wildly, and for a time the internet was full of news about Huo Xinghai hiring people to go on the show to compete with Fu Zimo and having it backfire.
“I’m sorry.” Huo Xinghai was very disappointed. He didn’t even know Gu Qingyin’s birthday, even though he had so much time to ask these past few days.
Gu Qingyin waved her hand and comforted him with a smile, “The situation is different. We’ll have a lot of time to get to know each other in the future.”
The camera very honestly broadcast this scene as well.
The entire internet exploded.
Is this an admission? Admitting that they are not familiar at all! Not knowing the birthday before could still be explained, but the meaning of these two sentences is obviously that they haven’t known each other for long!
At this time, in the Huo Corporation President’s Office, Xue Ning was reporting the online news to Huo Xingye.
After listening, Huo Xingye nodded, not very surprised, “Issue an announcement. Notify the legal department to collect evidence and sue those who spread rumors.”
“Yes.” Xue Ning turned around and went to the legal department. There were a lot of people to sue this time, and he had to keep an eye on it, he wouldn’t agree to missing a single one.
So, at the same time as the guests were choosing their houses, the Huo Family’s official certified account issued a clarification announcement.

Netizens opened it and saw a kinship test report. The names of the test subjects were Huo Xinghai and Gu Qingyin.
That’s right, Gu Qingyin did another paternity test.
Because Huo Xinghai was very envious of Huo Xingye being able to do a paternity test with his mother, he wanted it desperately too.
Gu Qingyin could only agree, of course. It wasn’t a big deal, the triplets’ treatment must be exactly the same!
When the test came back, Gu Qingyin gave the jade amulet to Huo Xinghai. This was not only a meeting gift, but also entrusted with a mother’s blessings and love.
The Huo Corporation’s fans actually didn’t have many. When the Weibo was first posted, very few people saw it, but the Huo Corporation was generous and directly bought a trending search, and now everyone who was concerned about this matter saw it.
After a brief silence, it was a new round of explosion.
Netizens no longer had doubts about Gu Qingyin’s identity, but were even more curious about her maintenance methods! How exactly did she maintain herself to look like the same age as her son?
Online, waiting for an answer, it’s quite urgent!
