Grandpa Rong slammed his cane down hard, his wrinkled face resolute. "Popularity vote? What's the point of a popularity vote? Our Jingxing is the cutest! Besides, Jingxing is the Rong family's little darling. Who are outsiders to judge him?"

A hint of suspicion flashed in Gu Momo's clear eyes. Should the popularity vote be restarted?

She had a feeling that someone was playing some kind of trick.

Madam Rong was displeased. She gently and reluctantly held Gu Jingxing's face in her hands. "You old fool, didn't you hear Changqing say that Jingxing was bullied in the previous vote? Others are stepping on Jingxing's face. Can our Rong family tolerate this?"

"Isn't it just about spending money? Is the Rong family short of money? Call all three of the Rong family's sons out here and make them bring out all their private savings to contribute to Xiao Jingxing! Are they just going to let their money rot in the bank instead of spending it on Xiao Jingxing?"

Besides, even if the Rong family can swallow this insult, Xiao Jingxing absolutely cannot be wronged!

After being glared at by Madam Rong, Old Master Rong immediately looked aggrieved, thinking to himself that he was only doing this because he felt sorry for Jingxing...

A glint of shrewdness flashed across Gu Momo's face. She frowned and tried to dissuade her, "Grandma, I don't think this is necessary. How about we..."

Grandpa Rong's aged face was full of smiles. He quickly walked to Gu Momo's side, changing his previous tough attitude and coaxing her gently, "Momo, I think your grandma is right. Let's listen to your grandma, okay?"

Gu Momo: "..."

Grandpa, isn't your wind direction changing a little too quickly?

Before she could speak, Rong Fengyun strode over with his long, slender legs, his thin lips curving slightly, his deep eyes always carrying a captivating smile. "Mo Mo, this matter can't be left like this. Someone is trying to take Jing Xing from us, so the Rong family has to show him with our strength that the Rong family... is not someone he can easily manipulate!"

Gu Momo: ? ? ?

Seriously? My second uncle is going head-to-head with Li Zhanting right now?

Good heavens! It's good that you guys stood up for yourselves, but think about it carefully, all that money ended up in the organizer's pocket. They must be laughing their heads off behind the scenes!

...

North Ring Mountain, Li Family Villa.

Li Zixiao, dressed in a custom-made little suit, sat cross-legged at the doorway, staring intently at the entrance like a waiting-for-husband stone, as if his mother would fly over from a great distance if he just kept looking like that.

Yes, Mommy said if he behaves well, he will definitely behave well.

But he still thought that as long as he sat here and waited for his mother to come back, he would be the first person to see her.

Butler Li, dressed in a dark black tailcoat, held a tray in both hands and earnestly persuaded Li Zixiao, "Young Master, why don't you eat something? And why don't you take some medicine..."

Li Zixiao remained obediently sitting cross-legged, hugging his legs, without moving.

Just then, Li Zhanting walked steadily down the stairs. His dark eyes were fixed on Li Zixiao's back, and he felt a slight pang of heartache. So he walked over without making a sound and took the tray from the butler's hands.

"Zixiao." Li Zhanting carefully squatted down, his gentle voice incredibly soothing. "Good boy, have you forgotten what the pretty auntie told you before? She told you to take good care of yourself, have you forgotten? Hmm?"

A hint of emotion finally appeared on Li Zixiao's expressionless face.

He turned around, skillfully took the medicine from Li Zhanting's hand, and drank it down in one gulp with hot water.

Then he quickly got up from the doorway and hurried upstairs.

Seeing Li Zixiao's sulky little face, a playful look flashed across Li Zhanting's deep eyes, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Zixiao likes Gu Momo so much, if only he could keep Gu Momo in the Li family forever...

As if he had just thought of something, a slight smile flashed across Li Zhanting's eyes.

Suddenly, Li Qingling's soft, sweet voice came through, "Daddy, you're smiling so silly."

When Li Zhanting was looked down upon by his own soft and adorable little dumpling, he felt as if his heart had been struck a blow.

Li Qingling was coming downstairs with her plush toy in her arms. He simply sat down on the leather sofa, picked Li Qingling up and put her on the sofa so they could sit side by side.

"Ling'er, Daddy wants to ask you something. I heard there's a little boy in your kindergarten who's recently gone viral online, named Jingxing. Daddy heard he's really handsome. Ling'er, tell me, is he as handsome as Daddy?"

Even before the popularity contest started, he was already eager to know everything about the child...

Li Qingling, with her soft little hands, tugged at the big rabbit's ears and said in a childish voice, "Hmph, of course Brother Jingxing is more handsome!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Zhanting's deep eyes.

Sure enough, Ling'er knew everything.

A deep smile crept into Li Zhanting's dark eyes. He smiled gently and asked, "So, Ling'er, have you seen what he looks like?"

Li Qingling's heart skipped a beat. Her pink lips pouted softly, and a hint of suspicion flashed in her bright eyes.

Why does it feel like Daddy is trying to trick her into revealing information?

She turned her head in confusion to look at her father, only to be met with Li Zhanting's deep and gentle gaze.

Hmph, this daddy definitely has his own little scheme.

Ling'er promised Brother Jing, and Ling'er won't betray Brother Jing!

"Ouch~" Li Qingling gently released the plush toy from her hand, and it slid to the floor. She quickly jumped off the sofa, grabbed the plush toy, and ran away.

"Daddy~ Ling'er's little bear has turned into a dirty bear! Ling'er needs to give the dirty bear a bath first, otherwise it will turn into a stinky bear in a long time!"

Watching Li Qingling's small figure running away from afar, Li Zhanting's deep eyes became playful.

No rush.

Anyway... he'll be able to see the child's true face soon!

...

The news of the showdown between two child prodigies swept across the internet at lightning speed!

Countless related messages were wildly circulated online, and Gu Jingxing and Xue Lingbao's fans engaged in a bloody online battle!

In less than two hours, Xue Lingbao's fans, in order to promote Xue Lingbao, pushed related topics to the top of Weibo's trending topics, and even opened a special news live broadcast room for Xue Lingbao.

At the voting site, countless news media gathered again, completely surrounding both sides of the red carpet, and all the reporters pointed their cameras at Gu Jingxing!

Li Zhanting is already the undisputed business tycoon of the capital. If he were to have another child, wouldn't that cause a sensation in the entire news industry?!
