The female celebrity next to Yang Juntong looked jealous and asked, "Brother Juntong, who is this?"

She glanced at Mingzhuo several times and felt that she had lost to him in terms of face, figure, and temperament. Instantly, alarm bells went off in her mind.

In the past year, Yang Juntong has suddenly changed his attitude. His company's marketing strategy has stopped using the tactics of manipulating and pandering to fans. Instead, it advocates that fans pursue celebrities rationally.

Rumors circulate in the industry that Yang Juntong must be in a relationship, which is why he's preparing to lose fans early.

This person isn't even willing to create a romantic pairing with themselves, which suggests the rumors are probably true.

Could this woman in front of him be his girlfriend?

Da Mingzhuo? Yang Xiao what? Do the two of them already have their own nicknames for each other?

Yang Juntong ignored the female artist. His company had arranged a romantic pairing for him, and his manager had already turned it down, but she kept clinging to him.

He stood beside Mingzhuo and spoke to her, "Master, I've been following your news, and I knew you would definitely come back! That's wonderful!"

Mingzhuo: "You're doing pretty well now."

"Haha, it's nothing special, you flatter me."

As the two spoke, they had become the focus of everyone's attention.

At first, many people had objections, after all, Yang Juntong is a very popular male celebrity recently, and many people wanted to go up and say a few words to him. Why is he suddenly chatting with a woman?

But upon closer inspection of the woman, many people changed their minds.

She was just too beautiful, with an outstanding temperament and a powerful aura. Standing next to Yang Juntong, she subtly became the dominant one.

Among the crowd, a pair of eyes stared at Mingzhuo for a few seconds.

Someone arranged for him to come in and find Ruan Mingying, but he searched for a long time without finding her.

But it doesn't matter, finding this little girl in front of us is the same.

He first noticed the big star Yang Juntong, and then recognized the little girl at a glance.

After all, she looks very similar to Ruan Mulan and Ruan Mingying, and the mother and daughters are all equally seductive and alluring, only good at seducing men.

The man was ready. He took a deep breath and strode over. After gathering his emotions, tears rolled down his cheeks.

His aged face was filled with heartache and reluctance. "Zhuozhuo! I've finally found you!"

Mingzhuo had noticed something amiss with someone's gaze in the crowd long ago, and when he saw that person rush out, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Who brought you in?" she asked, though she already knew the answer.

Bai Hanyang avoided answering: "Zhuozhuo, you're so grown up now, where's your older sister? I want to see my daughter one last time before I die, so our family can be reunited."

Everyone was confused, but they vaguely understood that this gentleman probably had cancer.

His thin frame, gray hair, and weathered wrinkles instantly conjure up the image of a simple, honest father who has suffered misfortune.

Mingzhuo then asked, "Since you won't say who brought you in, then let me ask you, how much money did you receive, and how much money are you planning to extort?"

Bai Hanyang thought this girl was talking about money all the time.

He said pitifully, "I just want to see my daughter. We've been separated for over 20 years. I'm sick and about to die. I just want to fulfill my wish."

People around were whispering and felt sorry for the father.

Mingzhuo: "You're sick? What kind of sickness? Are you a drug addict? Take a good look at your fingernails, your teeth, are you sick?"

Everyone was stunned. Upon closer inspection, they realized that something was really wrong!

This person didn't actually have cancer, but people saw that he had gray hair, was thin, and looked poor, so they assumed he was seriously ill.

I never imagined he was a drug addict!

Who in the industry would dare to associate themselves with the word "drugs"? Everyone avoided it, fearing being associated with it.

Bai Hanyang felt a little panicked: "Don't talk nonsense! Is it because Ruan Mingying thinks I'm poor and doesn't want to acknowledge me? She's climbed up the social ladder and now she despises her own father?"

"Shut up! You're the one talking nonsense!" Yang Juntong was even more agitated than Ming Zhuo, and said angrily, "If you spread any more rumors, believe me, I'll call the police!"

Everyone: "..."

No, what exactly happened? How did Yang Juntong get involved?

Bai Hanyang gritted his teeth, thinking to himself, "You all forced me to do this."

When the soft approach didn't work, he resorted to the hard one!

"Fine, then call the police! I want the police to judge this. How dare a daughter disown her parents? There's no such logic in the world! I'm not only going to call the police, I'm going to make a scene on TV. I'm not afraid of making a big fuss!"

Mingzhuo: "Are you going to use force?"

Bai Hanyang: I'm not talking to you. Tell your sister to come over! What business is it of yours, little girl, of meddling in our father-daughter relationship?

"You just came to me, and now you won't let me get involved? Do you think I'm that easy to talk to? Just wait."

Mingzhuo took his phone out of his handbag and noticed that there were several missed calls.

But she couldn't worry about that right now; she opened her contacts to make a call.

Bai Hanyang wasn't afraid at all; he simply didn't believe that such a young girl would be so arrogant as to call the police.

Even if the police are called, it's no big deal. He already has a criminal record at the police station, so he's not afraid at all. Anyway, if things get out of hand, it'll only be Ruan Mingying who loses face.

Yang Juntong was furious. He looked at Bai Hanyang and said, "We're calling the police right now. If you know what's good for you, confess honestly. Why did you slander Ruan Mingying? Who sent you here?"

He didn't believe for a second that the sleazy man in front of him was Ruan Mingying's father. Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Ruan Mingying is a goddess, the Eastern version of Claire! How dare this person try to scam her?
