I Became the Group's Favorite After Joining a Talent Show

Due to tuition fees, Ye Ying joined a talent show. She was initially prepared to take the prize money and get eliminated in the first round. Unexpectedly, she became a huge hit and, for some reason...

Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Dad

When He Pingqiu and Shi Fenglan said these two words, not only Ye Ying, but all the students were shocked:

"Hmm? Why did the actor ask Ye Ying to go home for dinner?"

"He Xizhou's parents actually know Ye Ying? And their tone sounds so friendly!"

"Ye Ying, your identity is becoming more and more mysterious! I suddenly have a bold idea. Could it be that your Ye family and the He family are a marriage between wealthy families? Are they engaged since childhood?"

He Xizhou listened to their nonsense and thought to himself, if it were true, that would be great!

Ye Ying pulled He Xizhou, looking confused and surprised, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

He did remember that He Xizhou said he would take him home to play after the show, but how come even He Xizhou's parents knew about it? ?

He Xizhou leaned over and said, "I mentioned this to my family when I called them once before. I said they must like you, and see, they still remember it now."

Ye Ying rubbed her ears, feeling a little embarrassed, but her heart was warm.

The boys hadn't finished their noise yet, and they all started to make a noise: "Brother He, I want to go home with you for dinner too!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I also want Mr. He's autograph!"

"Aunt is kind and nice, and her cooking must be delicious! Brother He, please take me with you!"

"Get lost," He Xizhou scolded with a smile, "What are you dreaming about? It's not your turn!"

Everyone gave him a long boo.

The vcr continued to play, and the next one was Qiu Shuang's parents. The couple recorded a video in front of their own hot pot restaurant. There was a red couplet hanging on the door. On the left was written: "Wish the handsome boy Qiu Shuang a smooth debut" and on the right was written: "Smooth debut and formation of the group". The banner read: "Eat hot pot and get a limited edition autographed photo!"

Qiu Shuang: "...are these two trying to take advantage of my popularity?!"

“Hahahahahaha!”

The students were all amused by these talented parents. After a round of advertising, Qiu Shuang's parents still sent their blessings to their son: "Son, your parents originally planned to let you inherit the family business, but seeing you shine on the stage and being supported and loved by so many people, we are all happy for you and support you in pursuing your dreams! Bring your friends back for hot pot after the show is recorded, and we will save the freshest lamb for you!"

"Brother Shuang, did you hear that? Uncle and aunt asked you to take us back for dinner!"

"Brother Shuang, please tell me, are we good brothers?!"

The students have all turned into a group of exaggerated actors. If they can’t go to Actor He’s house, it would be great to go and have a mutton hotpot!

“Eat, eat, eat!” Qiu Shuang waved his hand generously, “Go ahead, I’ll treat you all!”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Brother Shuang is awesome!!"

Then, several videos of students’ families cheering for them were played. In addition to parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles also showed up to make everyone happy. When the next vcr came out, everyone couldn’t help but exclaimed, “Wow, so cute!!”

The picture shows a boy and two children around ten years old, all with delicate and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, dressed neatly and cleanly. The older boy holds the hand of his sister and greets the camera together: "Brother, and other brothers in Dream Camp, hello!"

"Wow! So sensible!" The students covered their chests with their hands in surprise. Someone asked, "Whose brother or sister is this? So cute!"

"I think he looks a bit like Brother Fei!"

Everyone looked at Li Jingfei and found that the boy had a rare smile on his face: "Yeah. They are my younger brother and sister."

Everyone said "as expected", and Li Chaosheng said: "Brother, don't worry about us, Wen Lan and I are doing well. We both got first place in the opening test and were praised by the teacher! I also learned how to make steamed sea bass recently, and Wen Lan likes it very much. I'll make it for you when you come back!"

“Oh my god… at such a young age, a top student can cook,” the students were shocked, “Are all your family members so awesome?

The girl who looked a little introverted on the screen also spoke softly: "My brother doesn't like to smile much and looks a little cold, but he is actually a very nice person. I hope the other brothers in the Dream Camp will take care of him, chat with him and play with him. Thank you brothers." After that, she bowed seriously to the screen.

Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless: "Oh my God... is this a fairy sister?"

"Sure enough, these little angels are from other people's families. I get a headache when I see my sister!"

"My little sister is so cute! But actually it was Brother Fei who took care of us in the camp, hahaha, he has a very good relationship with people, you can rest assured!"

Li Jingfei looked at the two little faces on the screen, his eyes shining with tenderness. These were the two people he cared about the most, and now they were growing up fast in a corner where he couldn't see them, and they were even taking care of him in return.

Because at this moment, all the hardships in the past become insignificant.

Li Chaosheng and Li Wenlan cheered their brother for the finals. At the end of the video, Li Chaosheng suddenly said, "By the way, brother, after the show is finished, are you not going to bring brother Ye Ying home for dinner? My sister and I have been talking about this several times."

Li Wenlan blushed and whispered, "Please give me an autograph this time."

The cinema hall exploded.

"Ye Ying, what's wrong with you? Why do I want you to go home for dinner? "

"Brother Xiaoye is so popular! I want to bring him home for dinner!"

"I'm so jealous! I also want to be invited to dinner by the fairy sister!"

Ye Ying was teased by a group of people. She smiled with her eyes curved and said to Li Jingfei, "What do Chao Sheng and Wen Lan like? Let's go see them after the show is finished."

"The little girl is young, but she likes to look at handsome guys." Li Jingfei said, "They will be excited if you go."

He Xizhou next to him couldn't sit still when he heard this: "Wait, we have already agreed that you have to go to my house first!"

Mingyue surrendered to this group of people: "Should you let Ye Ying go back to his home first?"

They were discussing whose house to return to when the VCR changed. Ye Ying saw the screen and froze.

Others also whispered, “Fuck, I’ve seen this face in financial reports before. This is the CEO of Ye Group!”

"Hmm? Isn't that Ye Ying's father!?"

"Damn, Mr. Ye is absolutely amazing, handsome and young, even parents are so crazy these days!?"

Ye Mingyuan was not wearing a suit, and his aura was not as strong as in previous interviews and reports. When he was sitting on the sofa in his home clothes, he was not much different from other VCRs who called parents to cheer for their children.

"Ye Ying," he looked into the camera and whispered, "Long time no see."

After saying this opening remark, Ye Mingyuan was silent for a few seconds, as if he didn't know how to communicate with his son whom he hadn't seen for nearly six years.

"Yesterday was your eighteenth birthday, a very important coming-of-age ceremony, but I didn't send you a blessing." Ye Mingyuan paused, "In fact, since you were twelve, I haven't said 'Happy Birthday' to you every year. I am indeed an unqualified father."

Ye Ying pursed her lips gently.

"Ever since you were very young, I've felt that you were the most like me. Whether in character or strength, you were very good. So I trained you as the heir to the Ye family very early on, and devoted a lot of effort to you."

"But later, your mother and I divorced. The judgment required that she and I each raise one child. I wanted you to go with me at the time." Ye Mingyuan said, "But I didn't expect that you chose her."

The students didn't know these details and held their breath involuntarily.

Ye Mingyuan closed his eyes and said, "When I was young and knew Zhao Li, I thought she was a very passionate and charming girl. I know that she likes to play and be lively, but I don't think this is a shortcoming. But I didn't expect that she would betray me later."

Ye Ying looked a little surprised - he never thought that Ye Mingyuan would say these things in public. A cheating wife is something that any man cannot tolerate, let alone someone in Ye Mingyuan's position? He resolutely chose to go abroad that year, probably partly because he didn't want to face those rumors and gazes.

The more successful a man is, the stronger his self-esteem and vanity are. Ye Mingyuan could have confessed his mental journey over the years to his son in private, but he chose to say these words frankly in a video that would be seen by several people.

"I was very shocked at the time, and I found that I couldn't save this relationship, so I chose to divorce." Ye Mingyuan stared at the camera, "The only consolation is that I still have two sons. Although I don't raise them all, I will let Ye Yi live a worry-free life and raise you to take over my position. This is also a kind of comfort and sustenance."

"But I didn't expect that before I opened my mouth, you would take the initiative to say that you wanted to be with mom." The man rubbed his brows and smiled bitterly. "Maybe it sounds unreasonable now, but I couldn't control my emotions at the time. I saw your face that was very similar to your mother, and at that moment I was biased and thought that you had betrayed me too."

Ye Ying's breathing was trembling and she gently clenched her fingers.

"I thought, I gave you the best education, I invested so much time and energy in you, and you knew how much I expected and placed my trust in you, but you still chose your mother without hesitation. At that moment, I even felt that you and Zhao Liyi were both ungrateful wolves that I could never tame no matter how much effort I put in."

"So I took Ye Yi abroad, and for six years, I didn't contact you again."

It was also the first time for He Xizhou to know so many details. His heart almost couldn't breathe. He didn't even dare to look at the expression of the person next to him. He just quietly held the boy's cold hand.

"But are you wrong? You knew that you would have a better life with me, but you chose to go with Zhao Li just because you are her brother and you wanted to leave the better life for Ye Yi."

"It's such a simple truth, but I couldn't understand it. I even blamed it all on my child because I didn't want to face my failure." Ye Mingyuan's eyes were red. "I was wrong. I was busy with my career and neglected my family. I didn't really care about my child. I denied Ye Yi's ability just because he was careless and playful. I thought he was not a good material. I always imposed my will on you. I took it for granted that I wanted you to do it, but I never asked you if you really wanted to do it."

"Over the years, I paid my child support according to the rules, and I thought I had fulfilled my father's obligations. But my son suffered these years, he was bullied at school, he was wronged by his mother... I didn't know anything about it." With his identity, Ye Mingyuan would not easily lose his composure in any occasion, but now he shed tears in front of the camera, his face full of pain and regret, "I am not worthy of being a father. Ye Ying, I'm sorry."

Ye Ying closed her eyes, and two lines of hot tears rolled down her cheeks.

Ye Mingyuan calmed down and continued, "Although it's late, I still want to say: Happy 18th birthday. My son has grown up in my absence and has become a better and stronger person than I imagined. I am sincerely proud of you. Ye Yi and I will be there to cheer you on in the finals. Yingying, just do what you like."

"Also," Ye Mingyuan said, "after the game is over, Dad will be waiting for you at home."
