Chapter 1019 - The Right Attitude to Treat the Enemy
Chapter 1019: The Right Attitude to Treat the Enemy
Xiaoqi was still very happy even though he wasn’t going to the amusement park. He strode over on his little short legs and followed behind him. “Grandpa, Grandpa! I’m competing next week. You should come over and cheer Xiaoqi[1] on too!”
Huo Ci let out a cold laugh. “I’m not going! Why don’t you get your dad to go?”
Xiaoqi’s tiny forehead wrinkled together tightly, and the expression in his big eyes suddenly changed. He straightened his neck and lifted his head, his small face looking extremely serious. In a young and tender voice, he said firmly, “Xiaoqi doesn’t have a father!”
Huo Ci laughed out loud and patted the child’s head in satisfaction. “Okay, then I’ll go cheer you on!”
Do you see that?
This is the right attitude to treat an enemy!
Look at that shameless damn brat! She had long forgiven him. Forget about hating him, she wasn’t even angry at Jun Shiyan that spineless b*stard at all! He was so mad that he wanted her to get as far away as possible. He didn’t want her to piss him off at home!
Third Master Jun that b*stard! Even if he hadn’t done anything, had she forgotten all the hardships she had suffered all those years? She had forgotten the pain after the wound had healed. She deserved to be deceived! Whenever he thought about it, his liver hurt from the rage!
Huo Ci had become idle these past few days. In the past, whenever he was free, he liked to find someone to go out and have fun with. Or he might simply stay at home and not go anywhere. Ever since he got a grandson, he suddenly realized that it was quite interesting to bring his grandson around too.
Particularly since he was also an obedient, sensible, good-looking grandson who also knew how to flatter him and was as eye-catching as him walking on the street.
The mall was a well-known luxury mall in the capital. Those who could shop there were largely wealthy and respectable people. It was the kind of place where people didn’t dare to enter if they didn’t have a million yuan on them.
Huo Ci was wearing sunglasses and a mask, as well as a long black trench coat. His figure was flawlessly perfect, and his temperament was elegant. Xiaoqi, who was holding his hand, was wearing a cool jacket and a mere pair of sunglasses. He also looked very flashy when he was walking.
The moment the duo stepped into the mall, they attracted everyone’s gazes. They couldn’t help but look at them, especially the pretty girls. They cast admiring gazes and couldn’t help whispering to their companions.
It was rare to see a father take his son shopping in the first place.
It was even rarer to see such a handsome, trendy, and elegant man take his son shopping.
Ahhh!
What a spectacular father and son duo!
Daddy’s legs are super long, his figure is excellent, and he bears such elegance! He has the aura of a king!
The child is so adorable, cool, and moe! Their hearts had all melted!
Huo Ci’s Little Cis were spread across all ages. Soon, there was a fan looking over at them in suspicion. Without any hesitation, she secretly took a photo and posted it on her WeChat Moments: I met a man with a temperament and figure that resembles my Ci so much! Ahhhh, I want to marry him! Unfortunately, his son’s already so big. Boohoo.
There were also many Little Cis on her WeChat Moments. Soon, someone commented below.
[What do you mean ‘resembles’? You’re blind! That is my Ci, okay?!]
[You fake fan!]
[Ahhh, I don’t believe it! Impossible! No way! My Ci will never have a son.]
[Your Ci’s daughter secretly turned 20 years old in a flash. Why can’t he have a son? You guys still don’t understand wealthy families. How can a wealthy man like Huo Ci not want a son?]
[I just want to know if he’s Best Actress Nangong’s son and Ling Sheng’s younger brother!]
After being ‘provoked’ by Ling Sheng, among the Little Cis, some fans had run off a long time ago while those who didn’t leave already had their hearts trained to be as hard as rocks. What else could they do? They could only accept it! They could even accept a daughter who had suddenly popped up from nowhere. If he had a son, so be it. How nice was that? He’d have a complete set of daughter and son!
After all, there weren’t many people in her WeChat Moments. Soon, the post was uploaded to Weibo—The Home Base of a Celebrity-chasing Girl. #Huo Ci’s Son# immediately became the hottest topic.
[New Year’s first joke. The Sister Cis are making me die from laughter. Your Ci’er has both daughter and son now. Congratulations.]
[Spending money to help someone raise his daughter, son, and wife. I’ll feel sorry for the Cis for a second. I wonder if your hearts are bleeding…]
[The person above has lost his brain. What are you still talking about? My Ci, the Sixth Master of the Huo Family, is from a wealthy family with billions of dollars of assets. Does he even need us to support him?]
[A pure passerby. The image of the Great Best Actor has completely collapsed. He’s ready to let it all go completely. Sister Cis, your Ci has lied to you people for more than 20 years. I’ll just ask, aren’t you mad? Ha ha ha ha ha!]
[The commenter above is an idiot. End of appraisal[2]. Even if my Ci leaves the industry ultimately, he can survive on the earnings of one movie for his whole life.]
[Passerby, drop dead for stirring up shit. I hope your idol flops soon.]
After what had happened to Ling Sheng, the Little Cis had already become cool as a cucumber. They responded strongly yet rationally to the haters’ instigation.
[Please don’t spout nonsense if you don’t have evidence. Open your damn eyes and see clearly. He’s obviously the son of the richest man in the world, Jun Shiyan. What do you mean he’s my Ci’s?!]
[Sisters, calm down. Old Huo has even admitted to having a daughter. If he’s really his son, would he even care about acknowledging one more? This child appeared together with Best Actress Nangong and my Old Huo last time. The richest man in the world has already claimed him. He’s his son.]
[Heh heh heh, I’m begging the haters to be human. Shut your stinky mouths that talk nonsense all day long. Be careful of loose tongues attracting trouble.]
[We’ve already acknowledged the daughter. It’s just one more son. We’ll acknowledge ten or a hundred children, let alone one. As long as Ci likes them, he can have as many as he wants.]
Huo Ci was the nation’s Best Actor. His reputation had always been good, and he had a huge fan base too. He wasn’t someone the current popular fresh meat celebrities could compare to. ‘Wife’ fans only made up a small portion of his fans. ‘Career’ fans, ‘beauty’ fans[3], and ‘movie/television drama’ fans made up the majority of the community.
Besides, other than the sudden appearance of a daughter, there really wasn’t much dirt on him. Even if he had a daughter, the latter was the daughter of the Best Actor and Best Actress Nangong. He was at the finest age to get in a normal romantic relationship and have a child. It had nothing to do with the onlookers either. Even if they wanted to defame him, they weren’t sure where to start.
Hence, the eager haters and marketing accounts could only use the truth that he hid the fact that he had a child to defame him and mock the Little Cis, for a momentary sense of superiority.
Ling Sheng didn’t know that her father had brought her son to the top of the trending topics again. She had just finished half a month of training in the morning and was resting for two days today and tomorrow. She would be joining the film crew of ‘Brilliant’ the day after tomorrow.
Jun Shiyan went to fetch her. After lunch, the duo prepared to shop around a mall. Grandpa’s birthday was approaching in the next month, so they wanted to buy a gift for him.
“Third Master, Third Master.” Ling Sheng picked up a set of clothes and asked with a grin, “Do you think Grandpa will look really good in this?”
Jun Shiyan took a look and nodded. “No matter what you buy, Grandpa will like it.”
Grandpa doted on her so much. What gift did she need? As long as she went over and said ‘Happy birthday’ to Grandpa, he would be grinning from ear to ear. On the other hand, after that incident, no one in the Huo Family gave him a good attitude. He really didn’t know what to give Grandpa.
