Lin Cheng had just reported to him about what was trending on social media.

As Huo Qin's assistant for many years, he knew that the top star Jiang Chi was actually surnamed Huo. He even knew about the unspeakable methods Jiang Chi had used against him in the industry since his debut. Therefore, he was not unfamiliar with him.

So, when he saw that photo, even though her face was barely visible, Lin Cheng still recognized Chaochao on her shoulder.

Is the little dumpling bullying someone?

Huo Qin sneered.

That naive girl who apologizes for ages for accidentally stepping on an orchid?

Jiang Chi: "...Yesterday, when we went to shoot a magazine for G magazine, Chaochao was in the rest area. An actress named Bai Yao tried to snatch Chaochao's candy but accidentally fell down. She then accused Chaochao of pushing her."

These are what Jiajia saw, but Jiang Chi believes that this is indeed the truth.

At this point, Jiang Chi hesitated for a second and then mentioned that when he first returned, the company wanted to arrange for him to appear on a dating reality show with Bai Yao, but he was rejected.

After he finished his long speech, including the preceding events, Jiang Chi held his breath, awaiting his uncle's judgment. He saw Huo Qin frown, his narrowed eyes sharp—

"Did she steal Chaochao's candy?"

Jiang Chi: "..."

Is this the key point?

No, it's true that taking candy from children is very important, especially for Chaochao, who loves candy more than anything.

Jiang Chi's expression turned serious. "I'll go clarify things right now."

Huo Qin looked at him, his dark eyes as deep as a still pool, and smiled, "You'd better be able to handle it."

Jiang Chi: ...Won't he be kicked out as soon as he arrived today?

Yingchuan High School.

Having just finished her first class of the afternoon, Yang Simin habitually picked up her phone, only to see a sensationalist headline that made her eyes widen in shock.

"Holy crap, Jiang Chi got married?! Jiang Chi even has a child?! And his child is bullying people?!"

"Damn, where? Where?"

"I posted it in the group, everyone go check it out!"

This caused a huge stir, and everyone in the classroom who had a cell phone took it out to look at it.

Yu Ci wasn't interested in popular celebrities like Jiang Chi, and continued to hand out the homework that the math teacher had graded as usual.

Xie Jingcheng lay on the table to catch up on sleep.

Xu Yizhou also clicked in to join the fun, staring at the little girl's round head in the photo, and said doubtfully, "His daughter looks quite cute, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would bully others..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Yang Simin, who sat in front of her, retorted fiercely, "What are you saying? The brother hasn't even admitted that she's his daughter yet!"

Xu Yizhou nodded and bowed: "Report a little bit, report a little bit."

Sudden.

"Can I take a look?"

Xu Yizhou turned around upon hearing the voice; it was the class representative.

Yu Ci's gaze fell on the little girl in the photo, whose profile was only half visible, and she asked with a smile.

"Oh, sure, go ahead and take a look." Xu Yizhou was a little surprised. "I didn't expect the class monitor to be a fan of celebrities too."

Yu Ci smiled noncommittally, but her eyes darkened as she took the phone.

That's right, it's Chaochao.

Is that celebrity Jiang Chi the brother she was talking about?

Yu Ci pondered for a moment, then paused in her steps and turned back.

He tapped on Xie Jingcheng's table, and after the other looked up impatiently, he tapped on his phone to indicate that he wanted to check his messages.

Then he left.

One minute later.

Xu Yizhou stared dumbfounded at the chair that had been kicked over and Xie Jingcheng's imposing figure as he left the classroom. "Is this... is this morning grumpiness?"

He turned his head.

Huh, where did the class representative go?

Xu Yizhou felt he was about to discover something. Why did the two of them change their attitude after he shared this gossip? Could it be—

Just when Xu Yizhou felt he was starting to get his brain working.

Holy crap!

Yang Simin exclaimed three times, holding her phone with ecstatic joy, as if she had won the lottery: "Ahhhhh, my brother responded! No children! Thank God! Ah!"

It's the number one trending topic.

#JiangChiClarifies#

Jiang Chi: [She's my younger sister, not my daughter. We're not married or have children. Don't call her "Dad" casually. (Smile)]

Jiang Chi: [This is pure fabrication and defamation. A police report has been filed, and all those involved will be held legally accountable. Forwarded from @娱记李一刀]

Within a second of being posted, it received a terrifying 10,000 likes.

Comments section:

[I knew it! Waaah!!! Zaozi will always believe in her brother!!!]

[The rumor-mongers should wait for the court summons.]

[My poor little sister is being slandered like this! I hope she doesn't look at Weibo.]

However, many people also expressed doubts.

Does anyone know if she's really my sister?

[Not believing a single word! That's just making excuses for yourself! Ugh!]

[I'm a staff member on site, and that child did indeed push Bai Yao (the second female lead in Lingfeng Jue)]

[Oh, this pretty girl is so pitiful, I'm going to support her drama right now]

Fans immediately questioned the "staff member" and asked him to produce his employee ID as proof.

However, the account holder said he couldn't expose his information because he was worried about losing his job, so he refused. Immediately, a large group of people came to his defense.

Jujube: ...I'm so angry! Who understands! All this fabrication is just talk!

And Old Master Huo, who was far away at the Huo residence, inevitably found out as well.

He was leisurely sipping tea and strolling through the "Milk Bun" square, casually downloading newly released emojis, never expecting to see so many posts like this a little while later.

[Oh my god, did everyone see the trending topic? Jiang Chi has a child!]

[I saw it. His daughter is really bad. She has a terrible temper and even pushed someone.]

[How come there's such a big difference between the cubs? They're all about the same age. Look how well-behaved and cute our little dumpling is!]

[Another day of searching for adorable little buns! Ah! I can't keep up with all the videos!]
