The Mystical Biological Mother Returns, the Villainous Sons Stand Up Straight – Chapter 53

Ch 53: Came with a Mission

As Director Qian’s voice faded, the camera turned to a woman in a cheongsam, arm-in-arm with a young man in a suit. The image was slightly blurred, but the atmosphere was excellent, giving the impression of a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

The expectations of the viewers in the live broadcast room were at their peak.

As they approached, their appearances became clearer. It wasn’t exactly disappointing, but it wasn’t quite as stunning as expected, perhaps because the expectations were too high…

The woman had a great figure and wore a full face of makeup, but the marks of time were still visible. Her appearance wasn’t stunning, but rather gentle and refined, giving off a kind and amiable vibe.

The young man wore a business suit, dressed very maturely, but his face was very tender, the kind of boyish handsome look. The overall effect was a bit awkward, like a child trying to act like an adult.

The mother and son had similar facial features, making it clear that they were family.

“Hello everyone, I am Lin Xiaoyun, and this is my son, Huo Zhaohua. I’m very happy to be invited by the production crew to participate in this program.” Lin Xiaoyun smiled warmly, “I hope we can get along well with everyone in the coming days.”

As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyun’s eyes met Gu Qingyin’s. She paused for a moment, surprised, and said, “Master Gu?”

Gu Qingyin’s eyelids twitched, suspecting that she was doing this on purpose.

Calling her “Master” in front of the live broadcast room, was she trying to paint her as a purveyor of feudal superstition? Besides, she didn’t believe that Lin Xiaoyun wouldn’t have checked who the guests were before coming on the show. What was with this act of a chance encounter?

Huo Xinghai also looked over. He could say that he had no impression of the Huo Family Branch, so naturally he didn’t recognize these two. He was simply surprised that they knew Gu Qingyin. Were they old acquaintances from before?

【Master Gu? Is she calling my mother her Master?】

【Hiss… this title isn’t simple!】

【My mother is indeed not a simple woman!】

【What kind of Master is Mother? No other intentions, just want to know more, so that we can become sisters as soon as possible in the future.】

【??? All of Huo Xinghai’s mom fans have suddenly become wife fans?】

【Can’t help it, who wouldn’t want to have such an excellent mother?】

“What Master, you’ve mistaken me for someone else.” Gu Qingyin said calmly, flipping the meat on the grill.

Lin Xiaoyun reacted, the complex look in her eyes flashed for a moment, “Sorry, you look very much like an old friend of mine.”

Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed it off, “That’s really a coincidence, Qing-jie’s family name is also Gu.”

Lin Xiaoyun also laughed along, “Indeed, very coincidental.”

“Sit down and chat.” Gu Qingyin interrupted their awkward conversation, asking in a normal tone, “Have you had dinner yet?”

Lin Xiaoyun pulled Huo Zhaohua over and sat down next to Huo Xinghai. “Didn’t have time to eat.” She stood up again as soon as she sat down, “Let me help you with the grilling. I often cook at home, and my skills are not bad.”

The six people were divided by the barbecue grill. On the left were Huo Xinghai, Huo Zhaohua, and Lin Xiaoyun, and on the right were Lin Tian and Lin Xian. Gu Qingyin had been guarding the grill since she arrived and hadn’t sat down once.

She glanced at Lin Xiaoyun and didn’t stand on ceremony, nodding her head, “Okay, I’ll take a rest. The young people only know how to wait to eat, who knows when we’ll be able to enjoy life.”

Huo Xinghai thought of his own cooking skills and secretly decided to sign up for a cooking class when he got back.

“We’re not very good at cooking.” Lin Tian smiled apologetically, “Thank you, Qing-jie and Auntie Lin.”

Gu Qingyin sat down next to Huo Zhaohua. The director immediately picked up a whiteboard with the words: Interview the new guests, be natural.

Everyone saw it, but didn’t know how to start, so they simply began with self-introductions.

Huo Zhaohua listened politely, but didn’t respond, seeming a bit introverted.

Lin Xian looked at the others. As a girl, Lin Tian naturally couldn’t take the initiative to inquire about Huo Zhaohua’s situation. Huo Xinghai and Gu Qingyin both looked lazy, so the task of interviewing actually fell on him, an outsider?

Lin Xian was speechless for a moment, and simply imagined the person as a patient. He put on a warm smile and asked, “Mr. Huo looks young, are you still in school?”

Huo Zhaohua glanced at him and nodded, “Sophomore, but I’m already interning at the company at home.”

His voice was clear and cold, as incongruous as his clothing, but memorable.

“Wow, a rich second generation.” Lin Tian asked curiously, “Are you studying finance? To make it easier to inherit the family company in the future?”

Huo Zhaohua seemed afraid to look at Lin Tian, glancing at her quickly, and silently nodded.

Lin Tian assumed that he didn’t want to talk to her, and smiled slightly, then didn’t say anything more.

But Gu Qingyin, sitting behind Huo Zhaohua, saw everything clearly. This kid was clearly embarrassed, his ears were as red as if they had been dyed.

“What company?” Huo Xinghai suddenly spoke, “Is it in the real economy?”

Huo Zhaohua looked at him, his eyes complex, and shook his head, “An entertainment company, Yuehai Entertainment.”

Huo Xinghai frowned, it sounded familiar, it should be a well-regarded company in the industry.

Seeing his reaction, Huo Zhaohua felt even more complicated. He admitted, “It’s a company under the Huo Corporation.” After a pause, he added, “I’m from the Huo Family Branch.”

Huo Xinghai suddenly understood, so it was from a branch family, no wonder it sounded familiar.

He looked at Huo Zhaohua carefully again, and sure enough, he still had no impression. But he smiled warmly and greeted him again, “By that reckoning, you should be my cousin.”

Huo Zhaohua was very surprised by his reaction, and then realized that it was probably because there were cameras. He thought to himself that the entertainment industry was truly a terrifying place. No matter what your identity is outside, once you enter the circle, you have to be cautious and maintain your persona.

On the surface, he pursed his lips and showed a slightly shy smile, calling out in a clear and cold voice, “Older Cousin.”

Lin Tian and Lin Xian exchanged a look, their eyes filled with shock. In this day and age, there were still cousins who didn’t recognize each other? Was the family affection of wealthy families really this superficial?

Lin Xiaoyun, who was grilling the meat, smiled happily at the sight.

The Huo Family Branch wasn’t small, but very few could get in touch with the main family, especially after Huo Xingye took power. He was even more unwilling to interact with the people from the branch, and even cancelled the family banquets for the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival.

If you wanted to see Huo Xingye, unless it was for a work report, the people from the branch were living more and more like subordinates of the Huo family, rather than relatives with blood ties.

This time, Lin Xiaoyun really came with a mission.

She herself had a connection with Gu Qingyin when she was young, plus Huo Zhaohua’s appearance and personality were very likable. The branch took the opportunity to send the mother and son to the show, hoping that through this time together, they could gain Huo Xinghai’s favor and thus improve the situation of the branch.

Now it seemed that Huo Xinghai was easier to approach than they thought, and this was a good start.

Gu Qingyin was drinking juice on the side, watching Lin Xiaoyun’s changes in expression clearly.

She sneered inwardly, this person really came for them. How could she still have so many schemes at such an old age? Wasn’t she tired?
