Chapter 79

From a single mother working odd jobs to the chairman of an entertainment company, Gao Xinhua is no ordinary person. Ruthless and ruthless, she is a well-known figure in the entertainment industry. The few moments of tenderness and indulgence she has are reserved for her family.

Dong Chi stood up from the sofa reflexively and greeted: "Hello Aunt Gao, I'm Ah Chi, long time no see."

Gao Xinhua watched Ying Zhisheng and the others from the corner of his eye and nodded with a smile: "You seem to have lost weight. Filming must be very tiring."

Dong Chi swallowed nervously.

Seeing his timid look, Lou Sheng helped answer: "Dong Chi also won an award this year. Oh, by the way, Mom, this is Ying Zhisheng, you have seen it." After a pause, he leaned over and added in a low voice: "You and Ying Zhisheng's father were good friends. Mom, you haven't forgotten it, right?"

Gao Xinhua smiled helplessly, pushing Lou Sheng away. Of course she remembered this Ying Zhisheng. For two years, Lou Sheng had spent all her prize money from competitions on this boy, a full 150,000 yuan. Later, he generously gave millions to his fans, offering him all kinds of resources.

In her eyes, Ying Zhisheng is just like most of the celebrities and idols in the circle, greedy for money and benefits and unscrupulous means.

Like father, like son.

Ying Zhisheng's father is a man of no bottom line, so Gao Xinhua took advantage of the situation and accepted this sex partner, and as a result, he would look at the child with tinted glasses and prejudice.

Gao Xinhua tapped the armrest with her knuckles anxiously, worried that Ying Zhisheng would tell Lou Sheng about her two previous conversations and sow discord between them.

"Mom, this is Ying Zhisheng's agent, Fuquan, and these are his two assistants, Xiaotao and Chengzhi."

Gao Xinhua is not interested in the people around him in his previous life. He comes here just to take his son away and find good connections for Lou Sheng's next life so that he can be reborn into a prosperous and wealthy life.

Finally, Ying Zhisheng looked over and said sincerely, "Hello, Aunt Gao."

"I'm not good. I have to take Lou Sheng away." She directly stated her purpose.

The thing he feared and worried about the most still happened. The weight of this woman in Lou Sheng's heart was self-evident. Ying Zhisheng's eyes blurred for a moment, and he answered firmly: "No, Lou Sheng has to stay by my side."

Lou Sheng, feeling inexplicably robbed, quickly changed the subject: "Wait! It's been a while since we last met, let's catch up first!"

Ying Zhisheng stood there, his back straight and tense, his head slightly lowered to hide the surging emotions in his reserved and calm eyes.

He always knew that Lou Sheng's mother didn't like him. This dislike came from his father's flattery and meanness, and his willingness to sell his dignity for money.

He can't change, he just wants to use time and facts to prove himself.

After transferring to another school, Ying Zhisheng could not forget the proud and lively boy. In fact, he did not think he was deeply affectionate. He was just worried about Lou Sheng and thought about him day and night.

To this end, Ying Zhisheng did not mind the trouble of traveling back and forth, secretly visiting Lou Sheng more than ten times a month. Gao Xinhua had told him not to appear in front of Lou Sheng, and although he was extremely careful, he was still discovered.

"I think you should understand that you shouldn't have any unrealistic thoughts or ideas. If you keep hanging around Lou Sheng, I'll send him abroad. This damn kid just laughs all day long anyway. It would be good for him to go abroad and experience a few years of hardship to hone his skills."

Gao Xinhua is not a person who likes to joke around, and the wrinkles between her eyebrows reveal her strict style.

In the cafe, Ying Zhisheng lowered his head and stirred his coffee. He wasn't a rock or a piece of rotten wood; being embarrassed by Lou Sheng's family once or twice would also make him sad. The bitter aroma of the coffee entered his mouth and lips with his breath, and he couldn't drink a sip.

If possible, Ying Zhisheng had fantasized in the pitch-black night that even if his father was an ordinary, mediocre man, he would not be so hopeless and painful.

Unable to face Lou Sheng's embarrassment, he had no choice but to leave.

——"Ying Zhisheng! Tell me why your dad is with my mom! They're in a relationship! You're only friends with me for our family's resources, right? Tell me!"

He wanted to say that he didn't, but the commercial performance he got recently was indeed an opportunity his father got from Lou Sheng's mother.

During that argument, the guitar that Lou Sheng gave him was smashed to pieces. In the cooling mood after the unpleasant parting, Ying Zhisheng sat on the ground trying to repair the guitar, and he also had the urge to cry.

Ying Zhisheng stood there in silence, wearing comfortable dark gray home clothes. Leaning against the wall, he could clearly see the light veins on his chin. He and Lou Sheng were still wearing the same clothes. Even after Lou Sheng died, he still insisted on learning, a habit he couldn't change.

Lou Sheng floated over and put his arm around Ying Zhisheng's shoulders, saying to Gao Xinhua, "Mom, I'm doing fine here. I have people taking care of me and waiting on me, but I can't go far. Ying Zhisheng has been very good to me. He sent my ashes to the temple for chanting and praying, but I can't get them back until the time is right, so I can't go with you."

Gao Xinhua's eyes swept across Lou Sheng's altar, landing on the clean, fresh offerings. There were expensive foreign chocolates and a variety of freshly prepared foods, even the apples were peeled and diced. She squinted closer, smelling the bloody scent and snorting. "It's okay. He gave you blood to drink, right?"

Lou Sheng went over and replied, "Occasionally, when he's in the mood, he'll cut some of his own flesh. If I don't want to eat it, he'll just move on and start over. I think Ying Zhisheng has been driven a little crazy by the online bullying."

"Did Ying Zhisheng ask you to do anything?"

"He often invited me into his dreams, but that was it."

Gao Xinhua still has doubts about Ying Zhisheng. Having seen the evil in people's hearts, she always feels that love is a child's trick.

But overall, there was no problem to be found. Gao Xinhua and Lou Sheng were discussing the past in a low voice, while Fu Quan and others continued to worry about online public opinion.

Gao Yixuan, a Taoist priest with mediocre skills, had already started selling goods in his livestream. Ying Zhisheng looked gravely at the anchor on the screen who was using Lou Sheng's appearance as a gimmick, and calmly sent a message to Fuquan asking him to arrange for merchants to cooperate with Gao Yixuan.

The products endorsed by Ying Zhisheng must undergo detailed testing, and this caution and meticulousness is the basis for his reputation to remain unchanged over the years.

They detected a batch of jewels containing toxic substances, and Ying Zhisheng asked Fuquan to secretly introduce them to Gao Yixuan, who was already blinded by greed.

He was never a saint, nor was he a good person by nature.

Ying Zhisheng curled his lips and thought to himself that the audience who could support Gao Yixuan's live broadcast career and pay to buy products were the ones who were suitable for wearing toxic jewelry.

"Ying Zhisheng, are you in a bad mood?" The ghost in the middle began to comfort both sides, trying to ease the relationship.

Ying Zhisheng remained calm as he turned off his phone and said softly, "I wasn't willing to be friends with you because of your family's resources."

"I know."

When Lou Sheng first learned from his mother that Ying Zhisheng had ulterior motives towards him, he was naturally furious, and all his sincerity was shattered.

He spent all his competition prize money on Ying Zhisheng! How could this not be considered his hard-earned money?

After the quarrel, Lou Sheng went home and watched videos when he suddenly saw a sentence "Never use poor people's money, that's their life", and he felt a little embarrassed for some reason.

Although he trusted his relatives, Lou Sheng still did not give up and went to find someone to investigate and find out the truth.

In fact, Lou Sheng felt very guilty. He shouldn't have been so fierce to Ying Zhisheng at that time. Ying Zhisheng's silent attitude and red eyes were too deeply engraved in his memory and he could not forget them for so many years.

"Did you cry when I was mean to you?" Lou Sheng looked up at him cautiously.

Ying Zhisheng's Adam's apple rolled as he murmured, "Hmm."

"It's my fault."

"You're not good. Less than a week after we had a fight, you were already staying up all night in the internet cafe with someone else and didn't come to see me anymore."

The two of them were in a cold war, so how could he have the leisure to do so? Lou Sheng hadn't stayed up all night in the internet cafe, but had climbed over the wall after evening study to go home and sleep.

Lou Sheng covered his face, leaning against Ying Zhisheng's back, almost drowned in guilt: "I really deserve to die."

Ying Zhisheng refuted word by word: "You deserve to live."
