The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 37

Ch 37: Truth

The group moved to the entertainment room and sat around a round table. The production crew provided a deck of playing cards.

“We’ll play the simplest game of comparing sizes.” The director introduced the rules through a loudspeaker, “Choose a complete suit, from one to thirteen. The person with the smallest card is the loser of this round and must answer a question from the person with the largest card, or complete a dare.”

The guests listened attentively, no one spoke.

The director’s eyes swept over everyone, announcing, “Then we’ll start now.”

Huo Xinghai picked up the playing cards and unwrapped them, casually asking, “What suit do you guys like?”

“Hearts!” Lin Tian answered enthusiastically.

Gu Qingyin didn’t care, but since her son asked, she nodded along, “Hearts.”

The others didn’t object, Huo Xinghai drew out thirteen hearts, and returned the rest to the production crew.

His fingers were fair and slender, with distinct joints. He was very nimble when shuffling the cards, which was pleasing to the eye.

The cameraman had an idea and gave a close-up of Huo Xinghai’s shuffling.

For a time, the livestream room was occupied by hand-control fans licking the screen.

A dozen or so cards, shuffling them was just like that. Huo Xinghai asked while dealing the cards, “Deal or random draw?”

Fu Zimo was afraid he would memorize the cards, and immediately said, “Draw randomly, it’s just a game of luck anyway.”

Huo Xinghai put the cards on the table, his thumb pressed against the top card and flicked it over, and the cards immediately spread out into a beautiful arc. He revealed a warm smile, “For the sake of fairness, you guys draw first.”

Lin Xian smiled slightly, “Ladies first.”

Hearing this, Fu Zimo silently retracted his hand that was halfway extended.

Gu Qingyin looked at Feng Xia, and seeing that she didn’t intend to reach out, she smiled and looked at Lin Tian, “Younger Sister, draw first.”

Lin Tian chuckled, “Then I won’t be polite.” She was the youngest of all the guests, and a girl, so she wasn’t embarrassed to be taken care of by her elders.

She looked for a few seconds, chose the bottom card, her white fingers landed on the card, dragged it across the table to herself, carefully flipped up a corner to take a look, and then pouted unhappily.

Lin Xian laughed as he watched, “Is the number very small?”

Lin Tian glared, “Mind your own business!”

Lin Xian grinned, “Alright, just pray that I don’t get the biggest card.”

It was Gu Qingyin’s turn to draw a card, she looked at it generously, and placed the card face down on the table.

After that was Feng Xia, but she didn’t know what she was thinking, staring blankly at the corner of the table. Fu Zimo called her a few times before she came back to her senses, reached out to draw, and then laid it face up on the table. It was an eight, neither big nor small.

Fu Zimo was a little speechless. Although the cards would all be flipped over in the end, revealing it now always lacked a bit of anticipation and fun.

After that, Fu Zimo and Lin Xian flipped their cards one after another. Huo Xinghai drew the last card.

“Okay, I’ll count three, two, one, everyone flip your cards together.” The director acted as the host, cueing the process, “Three, two, one!”

Everyone flipped their cards together.

“I’m a K, the biggest!” Lin Tian laughed loudly, her face full of triumph.

Lin Xian couldn’t believe it, “Then why were you unhappy just now?”

“When was I unhappy? I was struggling with what question to ask!” Lin Tian rolled her eyes, and then excitedly craned her neck to look, “What number are you?”

Lin Xian curled his lips, “Five.”

Lin Tian’s eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, “Is there anyone smaller than five?”

Gu Qingyin pushed her card out, helplessly saying, “Three.”

Huo Xinghai tutted and shook his head, “Mom, your luck is too bad.”

Gu Qingyin turned her head to look and laughed, “You’re only one point bigger than me, how dare you say that about me?”

Huo Xinghai smiled, his eyes narrowed, “As long as it’s not the smallest, any number is fine.”

Gu Qingyin snorted lightly, turned her head to look at Lin Tian, “I choose truth.”

Lin Tian’s eyes immediately lit up, “I’ve had a question I wanted to ask you for a long time, Auntie Huo, you can’t lie.”

Gu Qingyin’s mouth twitched, “Don’t call me ‘Auntie,’ it sounds awkward. Call me Sister Qing.”

Lin Tian looked at her exceptionally young face, and it was indeed better to call her ‘Sister,’ “Then Sister Qing, please share your skincare secrets with us, I’m so curious!” Saying that, she looked at the camera, earnestly saying, “You don’t know, Sister Qing’s skin is so delicate and smooth, even better than mine!”

Gu Qingyin didn’t expect her to ask this, and said with a wry smile, “To tell the truth, there really aren’t any secrets.” She really hadn’t reached the age where she should be old yet. Furthermore, because of cultivation, aging was naturally a little slower than ordinary people, but she couldn’t say that directly.

After thinking carefully, Gu Qingyin said seriously, “Moderate exercise, a reasonable diet, don’t stay up late, quit sugar, quit smoking, and quit alcohol.” She didn’t believe anyone could do it.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Lin Tian was silent. What joy was there in a life without staying up late and without eating sugar! The netizens in the livestream room were also silent for a few seconds, and then they all sighed, no wonder she only gained age but not wrinkles, ordinary people really couldn’t do it.

【Forget it, not everyone deserves ageless beauty.】

【It’s hard to imagine that there are still people who can resist staying up late.】

【Sure enough, beauty and happiness cannot coexist on my body.】

……

After playing a few more rounds, Huo Xinghai sang and played the guitar in public, Lin Xian did ten squats while holding Lin Tian, and Fu Zimo also responded to the rumors from the previous period ━ not a girlfriend, just a blind date arranged by the family.

Lin Tian also chose a dare, and was asked to call the third person in her contacts to borrow money. Unfortunately, the other party was her agent, who was watching her livestream. After receiving the call, he naturally cooperated very well.

After a few rounds of not getting the biggest card, Fu Zimo was a little impatient. He found that the probability of him getting the biggest card and Huo Xinghai and Gu Qingyin getting the smallest card and choosing truth was too low. He had been happy too early.

Perhaps after the extreme of misfortune comes fortune, in the last round, Fu Zimo got the highest number as he wished, and the smallest number fell into Huo Xinghai’s hands.

In an instant, the joy in Fu Zimo’s eyes almost couldn’t be suppressed.

“Dare it is.” Huo Xinghai sighed.

Gu Qingyin gloated, “Who was it that mocked my bad luck just now? You’re the only one here who’s gotten the smallest card twice.”

Huo Xinghai was speechless.

“You chose dare last time, you can’t choose it again this time.” Fu Zimo controlled himself from laughing too much, “Let me think about what to ask you.”

Huo Xinghai chuckled, “Alright, ask whatever you want, there’s nothing I can’t say.”

Fu Zimo raised his eyebrows, his hostility was palpable, “Since Teacher Huo is so frank, then why not respond to the question on the trending searches? What is your relationship with Gu Qingyin? I believe the netizens are very curious.”

As soon as these words came out, the villa was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was screaming “crazy” in their hearts.

They knew that Fu Zimo and Huo Xinghai were at odds, but no matter how much the two fought, they had never broken the surface. What was wrong this time? Asking such a sensitive question during the livestream, what stimulated Fu Zimo? At the same time, the livestream room exploded.

The two families’ fans instantly started fighting. The fans of the others and passersby didn’t dare to show their faces at all, only silently waiting for Huo Xinghai’s response.

Fu Zimo kept staring at Huo Xinghai, hoping to see a panicked, flustered, or angry and guilty expression on his face, but he was disappointed.

Huo Xinghai was extremely calm, and even asked back with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “Are you sure you want to ask this?”

Fu Zimo hooked his lips with a confident look, “If it’s difficult for you, you can also not answer. There’s still a glass of vegetable juice over there that hasn’t been drunk yet. It won’t be fresh if it’s left out any longer.”
