Chapter 70 Chapter 70 The King's Dad 10

Rong Yi smiled helplessly. "Sister Wang, your guess is even more outrageous. Anyway, Zhuozhuo isn't my child, but I will take care of her as if she were my own. Also, when Zhuozhuo's father shows up, it might attract attention. Have the PR department monitor public opinion trends."

Wang Yuhe held her forehead with her hand. "If anyone else had told me this, they'd have been labeled a scumbag long ago." Suddenly, she remembered something. "Have they heard anything from the police?"

"No." Rong Yi glanced at his phone and said curiously, "What's going on? The child has been missing for at least thirty hours. Why haven't the parents called the police yet? When they get here, I'll talk to them."

The other three looked at Rong Yi, who had automatically assumed the role of the eldest brother, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

They exchanged glances. Zhang Qi raised his hand and said weakly, "Brother Rong, we can't find any information about Zhuozhuo's family in the village. Do you think it's possible that someone brought Zhuozhuo here and then left?"

"You mean Zhuozhuo was abandoned?" Rong Yi frowned, unwilling to believe that the brother he had never met was such a person.

Guo Xuezhong couldn't help but say, "Brother Rong, the situation right now is very similar to a mother sending her child to the father's doorstep to recognize him. Since you're a big-name actor, sending him to the studio is much more effective than sending him to his home."

Rong Yi: “…”

Rong Yi: "I'm a virgin."

"puff."

The three of them couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, they all realized the seriousness of the matter.

They weren't Rong Yi, so they didn't have absolute confidence that the child wasn't theirs. They subconsciously believed Zhuozhuo was Rong Yi's child, but Rong Yi insisted he wasn't the father. Therefore, the person who gave birth to Zhuozhuo was truly terrifying.

How did she get Zhuo Zhuo when Rong Yi had no memories? What was her purpose now? Money, a relationship, or Rong Yi's ruin?

"That way, Zhuozhuo's words on set can't be interpreted as being directed by you. I'll contact Director Yao and Bai Ruofeng and the others. Once the term becomes a trending topic, we'll post on Weibo together, framing this as the crew warming up for the movie."

With a formidable enemy at hand, Rong Yi's image couldn't be tarnished in the slightest. Wang Yuhe stopped listening to Rong Yi's explanations and promptly sent him off to rest. He then held a video conference with the PR department to discuss several crisis PR plans.

Rong Yi, driven back to his room, washed up with mixed feelings and went to bed. He carried the sprawled Zhuo Zhuo to the center of the room and covered her with a blanket. He looked at her face, which was similar to his, with a serious expression and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Zhuo Zhuo, are you my child?"

"Zhuozhuo, yes." The confused little voice was very sure, "Rong Yi is Zhuozhuo's father!"

Rong Yi was startled, "Why are you awake?"

"I'm hot!" Zhuozhuo used his hands and feet to kick off the blanket surrounding him, looking at Rong Yi accusingly, "Daddy is stupid. He doesn't know how to take care of a baby."

Rong Yi: "...I'm sorry, I was afraid you would fall off the bed."

"Daddy, hold me while I sleep, and I won't fall off." Zhuozhuo looked at Rong Yi with a tolerant look that said, "Daddy is so stupid, he's not as smart as me." He took the initiative to get into Rong Yi's arms, pulling his hand behind his back, and said, "Pat, you'll fall asleep soon."

Rong Yi subconsciously patted Zhuozhuo's back to lull her to sleep, and when she closed her eyes, he quickly woke her up, "Zhuozhuo, baby! Don't fall asleep yet. Who told you that I'm your father?"

"yes……"

9972 quickly reminded its large colander, "Baby! Don't tell me, or we'll be leaving."

Zhuozhuo kicked his feet unhappily and said angrily, "Rong Yi is my father. He can't do anything without me. This is against the law. Let the police arrest you and put you in jail!"

"It's not that I don't want you," Rong Yi said in a different tone, "What's your mother's name? What does she look like?"

"Mom is in another world."

Rong Yi's heart trembled, "Your mother is gone?"

"Yeah." Zhuozhuo responded loudly. After all, her mother was not in this world.

Rong Yi felt incredibly guilty, a cascade of thoughts racing through his mind. Perhaps his brother was also gone, otherwise Zhuozhuo's mother wouldn't have chosen him as her caregiver. Furthermore, it seemed the couple didn't have any reliable relatives or friends.

Rong Yi regretted asking Zhuo Zhuo about his sad story in the middle of the night, but since he had already asked, it was better to suffer a short pain than a long one, so he just explained it all at once. Rong Yi said carefully, "Zhuo Zhuo, from today on, I can be your father. But you can't forget that you still have a father in this world..."

"No!" Zhuozhuo covered his ears and shook his head. He was annoyed and started to make a fuss. "I am the baby given to you by the gods. In this world, there is no other father and mother. You can't find them even if you look for them, humph!"

"Okay, okay, Daddy said something wrong. Zhuozhuo, don't be angry. Go to sleep."

Rong Yi coaxed her, but in his heart he thought Zhuozhuo had been brainwashed by her mother. This was a good thing for her, as she would quickly accept her new family. Zhuozhuo was a little pig with excellent sleep quality and quickly fell asleep again, leaving his old father with a melancholy feeling.

Just when he was happy about his family's presence, he was told that they were gone. Fortunately, there was still Zhuozhuo, and from now on, the two of them would depend on each other.

"Don't worry, brother and sister-in-law, I will treat Zhuozhuo as my own child." Rong Yi promised softly in the dark, and then Zhuozhuo hit his throat with his arm, causing him to retch.

9972 was also speechless about Rong Yi's stubbornness. Fortunately, it never thought about proving that Zhuozhuo was his child. So let it be, Rong Yi can be as entangled as he wants.

Rong Yi moved Zhuo Zhuo's arm away, pulled out his phone, and texted a detective friend, asking him to look up information about Zhuo Zhuo's parents. It would be best if they could find their gravesite; Rong Yi wanted to take Zhuo Zhuo there every year to pay his respects.

The next morning, the news of Zhuozhuo's "outrageous" remarks against the actors on set had already been circulating online for several rounds. First, several videos were shared over 200 times before being deleted by the PR department. However, with many fans reacting, the topic continued to rise.

After a short period of "Whose kid is so rude" and "So-and-so's acting is so bad that even the kids can't stand it", investors and rivals stepped in, steering the conversation towards "Rong Yi's character collapses, and he even privately teaches his kids to speak ill of his co-actors".

But Rong Yi has a huge fan base. Even though he is very calm and doesn't usually fight, he becomes extremely aggressive once a dispute starts. He quickly takes control of the comment section, rationally analyzing every actor who is named by Zhuo Zhuo, saying that the baby is so cute and looking forward to Rong Yi's new work.

At half past six, the crew started work immediately. The actors met on the set, and Bai Ruofeng was the first to post a Weibo.

"Zhuozhuo's eyes are sharp! Yesterday, she was the only one who noticed my period and cried in pain, and she even told me to get some rest early. What a lovely angel on earth! I envy @Rongyi! I'm here to criticize my agent and assistant by name. They said they treated me like a little princess, humph / arms akimbo. Also, @Yefeng's crew is wrapping up filming soon, so please stay tuned."

The accompanying pictures are screenshots from the marketing account and eight behind-the-scenes photos from the crew.

Jiang Yilan immediately reposted Bai Ruofeng's Weibo post, "What a cute little girl who calls me sister! Even though I'm only two years younger than Zhuozhuo's dad @Rong Yi, hahahahaha! I play Hongli in "Night Wind" @Night Wind Crew, I hope I can interpret this role well. // @Bai Ruofeng Zhuozhuo..."

Other actors followed suit, and online public opinion shifted instantly.

Ah, I thought it was a big melon, but it turned out to be a publicity stunt from the crew. Director Yao, you have changed. You have also learned the tricks of traffic. Quickly show us Zhuo Zhuo's photos!

Rong Yichao asked Guo Xuezhong to distribute coffee to everyone, then looked at Director Yao and said with a smile, "Why don't you quickly take this overwhelming wealth?"

Director Yao raised an eyebrow. "If there's anything you can't handle, I'll begrudgingly help you out for Zhuozhuo's sake."

"I can handle it, thank you." Rong Yi said this sincerely. Director Yao was a very pragmatic director, always averse to capital and traffic. He had suffered a lot because of this in the past, and at one point he was reduced to having no films to work on. Later, Director Yao won a gold medal at a foreign film festival with an art film, and finally got out of trouble.

In recent years, Director Yao has gradually reconciled with himself and accepted capital to a certain extent, and both parties have reached a win-win situation, but this is the first time that he has promoted the film before it was completed.

"Hey, put away your expression. It's only one day away. Now is the perfect time to ride on T's popularity." Director Yao waved his hand and lowered his head to post on Weibo.

"Welcome fans to see how @Rong Yi is controlled by Xiao Mian'ao. @Yefeng crew."

The accompanying picture is a nine-square grid of Rong Yi apologizing to Zhuo Zhuo. The funniest thing is that the background and posture of each picture are not exactly the same. It can be seen that Rong Yi apologized to Zhuo Zhuo at least nine times.

As soon as Director Yao posted his Weibo post, fans immediately flooded the comment section, all curious about what Rong Yi had done. To have provoked a child so many times was a true talent. Some even cried out, wishing they could be coaxed by Rong Yi! Others frantically called out @RongYi, wondering if Zhuozhuo was actually his daughter.

Guo Xuezhong was surprised to see these comments. Director Yao called her a "little cotton-padded jacket," so she must be his daughter, right? Why are fans still asking about it?

Zhang Qi said, "You don't understand this, do you? The more you try to hide it, the more people will suspect you. Being so open and forthright like this will only make most people think it's a publicity stunt. Whether Rong wants to make his relationship with Zhuozhuo public or continue to hide it, there's something to it."

Not to mention that Zhuozhuo also has a role in the movie, so it would be more convincing if it was explained as a promotional movie.

Seeing Guo Xuezhong suddenly realize, Zhang Qi smiled proudly and said, "Little guy, if you want to surpass your sister Qi, you still have a lot to learn."

Zhuozhuo sat in a chair, drinking from a bottle, his big eyes rolling around as he observed them. He suddenly said, "Don't you all believe that Zhuozhuo's father is Rong Yi?"

Her voice was soft and she looked very sad, which made the two assistants who had been reminded by Rong Yi that morning feel distressed. Zhang Qi took a tissue and wiped Zhuozhuo's mouth, saying gently, "No one on the internet knows Zhuozhuo, so don't worry about what they think. Sister Zhang believes in Zhuozhuo."

"Uncle Guo also believes in Zhuozhuo!" Guo Xuezhong followed suit as if competing.

But Zhuozhuo was not happy. She swung her legs and pouted, "No need to believe it, it is like this." She looked at Rong Yi who was taking pictures and sighed like a little adult.

Zhang Qi smiled and said, "What's bothering you, Zhuozhuo baby?"

"It's all because of Rong Yi's father." Zhuozhuo held his chin with both hands, his little face looked worried and adorable, like a flower blooming.

Zhang Qi was thinking "Ahhh, baby, kiss me" for a while, and was about to comfort Zhuo Zhuo when she suddenly smiled slyly, "I'll let everyone know."

"Ah? What is Zhuozhuo going to do? Can you tell Sister Xiao Zhang?"

"don't want."

Zhuozhuo stared at the set for a while and realized everyone was performing exceptionally well today. She then started playing on her own, sometimes riding a balance bike, sometimes holding up a Barbie doll to change clothes, and sometimes plucking a wild flower and placing it on her head, asking, "Do I look pretty?"

Rong Yi finally managed to get a sip of water while changing venues, wanting to play with Zhuo Zhuo for a while, but she rode past him on her bicycle without even a glance. He stepped forward and pressed the back of the bicycle, which wobbled slightly before stabilizing on the two balance wheels.

"Bad dad, what are you doing!" Zhuozhuo got out of the car angrily and rushed over, hitting Rong Yi's legs with his head like a calf, trying to knock Rong Yi over.

Rong Yi placed his hands on Zhuozhuo's face and slowly pushed her away. He squatted down and looked at her angry face. He suppressed the smile on his face and asked seriously, "Zhuozhuo, why are you ignoring Daddy? Who made you angry?"

"Hmph!" Zhuozhuo wrinkled his nose and said loudly, "It's Daddy. Daddy doesn't understand what Zhuozhuo is saying. Zhuozhuo, ignore Daddy!"

Rong Yi immediately understood what Zhuozhuo was talking about. He felt a little headache and was about to coax her along with what Zhuozhuo said, but Zhuozhuo took a step back and made a weird yet cute gesture at him, "Invisibility! One hour!"

"?"

Zhuozhuo turned around and got on his little bike, saying childishly, "Zhaozhuo won't see Daddy for an hour, so Daddy, don't come."

Is he so resolute? Rong Yi took two quick steps and stood in front of Zhuo Zhuo. The country road was narrow, and she couldn't ride around him. How could she ignore him?

Zhuozhuo braked and thought for a moment, then got off the bike, turned around and continued riding happily.

Rong Yi: “…”

Rong Yi ran after him, "Zhuozhuo, how can we work when Daddy is invisible? Can you please stop and help Daddy remove the spell?"

Zhuozhuo leaned over and braked handsomely. He turned around, looked at Rong Yi tolerantly, and said in a baby voice, "Daddy is so stupid. The invisibility technique is only used in games. Others can see Daddy."

Muffled laughter could be heard all around. The crowd watching the quarrel between the father and daughter could no longer hold back, and each one laughed more exaggeratedly than the other.

Rong Yi: “…”

Director Yao carried a camera and recorded the entire process of Rong Yi being humiliated. He smiled and said to the assistant director, "Where's Rong Yi? If anyone sees Rong Yi, ask Rong Yi to come to the filming."

The assistant director cooperated and said, "Let me ask."

Everyone else shook their heads and said they didn't see anything, they only heard the sound, so maybe he became invisible.

Zhuozhuo looked at everyone curiously, becoming more and more serious the more she looked, until she finally understood and started laughing. She ran to Rong Yi, patted his leg, and imitated Rong Yi's coaxing voice, saying, "Don't be afraid, Daddy, they're just teasing you. Look, Daddy, so many people are watching you, they can see you."

"Dad knows, you clever little devil." Rong Yi pinched Zhuozhuo's cheek, but Zhuozhuo slapped his hand away. "Let's continue to be silent. Daddy can't play with Zhuozhuo anymore."

"Okay, Dad will wait for Zhuozhuo."

Rong Yi thought it would only be an hour at most, but unfortunately, Zhuozhuo didn't have a clear concept of time so she only said one hour. What she wanted to express was a very long time.

Moreover, Zhuozhuo is a girl with perseverance. Her unilateral cold war with Rong Yi lasted until the crew finished filming and returned to the hotel.

Rong Yi was the first to lose his temper. He hugged the drowsy Zhuozhuo and said in a low voice, "Baby Zhuozhuo, won't you forgive Daddy yet? Daddy is going to the northwest tomorrow and won't see Zhuozhuo for several days. My only wish is to reconcile with Zhuozhuo before I leave. Can Zhuozhuo fulfill Daddy's wish?"

Without waiting for Zhuozhuo's answer, Rong Yi lowered his demands again, "It's okay if you don't forgive me. Just play with daddy for a while and talk."

Zhuozhuo said angrily, "I wanted to forgive Dad, but Dad has to work, so I don't want to forgive him anymore."

"This is a job that has been decided long ago and cannot be changed. Zhuozhuo, Dad can't be a man who doesn't keep his word, right?" Rong Yi tried to reason with him.

Zhuozhuo nodded lovingly and said softly, "Yes."

"So you're going to forgive Dad?"

"No!" Zhuozhuo waved his little hand and said in a domineering manner, "Daddy, let's go. Go to work and work yourself to death. Suffer a lot. If you suffer, you will remember and listen to Zhuozhuo's words."
