Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the caller ID and quickly picked up the phone, "Hello! Second Elder!"
On the other end of the phone, the Second Elder spoke cautiously, "Do you know Cheng Ruidong?"
"Cheng Ruidong?" Cheng Xiaoxiao whispered, feeling vaguely that the name was familiar.
She frowned. Where had she heard of this name?
The next moment, a picture suddenly appeared in Cheng Xiaoxiao's mind.
The deceased grandmother in the picture said to the young Cheng Xiaoxiao who was nestled in her arms, "Xiaoxiao! Cheng Ruidong doesn't want you. He has no vision."
"Our Xiaoxiao will definitely have a great future when she grows up. When that happens, grandma will enjoy the happiness with our Xiaoxiao."
"Ah~" The still strong grandmother sighed, with a hint of helplessness on her wrinkled face. She touched the top of Cheng Xiaoxiao's head and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't hate your mother. Even if you don't like her, don't hate her. Grandma knows she has let you down, but it's not easy for her either."
"The village is too poor. If she stays in the village, she won't be able to support you. But if she takes you with her, she won't have time to take care of you. Your mother has no other choice."
"Grandma is old now. I don't know how much longer I can stay with you. I don't know if I can still see our Xiaoxiao grow up."
She looked into the distance and warned Cheng Xiaoxiao, "If one day, a man named Cheng Ruidong comes looking for Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao must stay away from him, understand?"
Young Cheng Xiaoxiao had no idea that the adult world was so complicated. She only knew that her grandmother was the person closest to her and what she said must be right.
She nodded heavily, raised her little face, and showed a sweet smile, "Well, Xiaoxiao understands."
The memory ended and Cheng Xiaoxiao frowned.
Could it be the biological father who only gave birth to the child but did not raise him, a stranger in name only?
She said to the second elder on the other end of the phone, "I don't know him."
The Second Elder was silent for a moment before speaking, "Well, but I still need to tell you something. These past few days, a man named Cheng Ruidong has been spreading rumors online about you being his daughter."
The Second Elder paused and continued, "He also said you were an ungrateful person, that now that you're rich you look down on him, your father, who saved every penny to send you to college."
"After being guided by the troll army, some people have already sided with him."
"Ha!" Cheng Xiaoxiao scoffed, "He supports me? Ridiculous."
She asked the second elder, "Where is Cheng Ruidong?"
Second Elder: "I'm in Beijing. Do you want to come over?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao sneered, "Of course he's coming. I'll beat him to death."
"Excuse me, Second Elder."
The Second Elder's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's just a small matter. Is it any trouble? Remember to call me when you come."
Cheng Xiaoxiao: "Okay, goodbye, Second Elder!"
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xiaoxiao's good mood was completely gone and her face turned cold.
Lan Wangyou saw her expression and said to comfort her, "Don't worry, Senior Brother will help you teach him a lesson."
Cheng Xiaoxiao forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, but no need. I can do it myself."
She took out her phone, logged into her account, and started reading silently.
…
Beijing City.
Cheng Ruidong looked at the comments under the video and smiled with satisfaction.
Liu Yuehong hugged his neck from behind, "Ruidong, your daughter has become successful now!"
"Once you recognize her, we can live a good life."
Cheng Ruidong stroked Liu Yuehong's arm and said with a faint smile, "Thanks to you, otherwise I would never have known that the CCTV spokesperson was actually my daughter!"
Behind him, Liu Yuehong's eyes flashed, "I also saw it by accident."
No way!
Originally, after Cheng Ruidong divorced that woman, Liu Yuehong felt that she could live a carefree life.
But maybe it was retribution for destroying someone else's family or something else, but Liu Yuehong hasn't been able to get pregnant in all these years.
Although Cheng Ruidong said that he didn't care, Liu Yuehong was still worried that he would go back to his ex-wife because of the child.
So from that time on, Liu Yuehong has been quietly paying attention to the lives of the mother and daughter.
After knowing that the woman was dead, Liu Yuehong was extremely happy. Now she could finally put her mind at ease.
In the following time, Liu Yuehong would occasionally pay attention to Cheng Xiaoxiao's news, until one day, she suddenly saw Cheng Xiaoxiao's photo on a certain blog. Upon closer inspection, she found that she had gone from an orphan to a CCTV spokesperson.
Liu Yuehong realized that this was a great opportunity. As long as Cheng Ruidong could recognize Cheng Xiaoxiao, they would naturally have a share of the money Cheng Xiaoxiao earned.
Even if Liu Yuehong doesn't have one, is there no Cheng Ruidong's?
It was no different if Cheng Ruidong had it or not, so Liu Yuehong told Cheng Ruidong the news as soon as possible.
When Cheng Ruidong heard this, he was immediately delighted, so the two of them decided to do this.
They just didn't believe that under the public opinion, Cheng Xiaoxiao could still deny her biological father.
If such an accident really happened, those keyboard warriors and internet trolls would definitely teach Cheng Xiaoxiao how to behave, and might even ruin her reputation.
For Liu Yuehong, this is a win-win situation.
Cheng Ruidong turned around, hugged Liu Yuehong, put his big hands on her chest, and squeezed it hard, "That's all thanks to you."
Liu Yuehong shuddered, threw a coquettish glance at Cheng Ruidong, and said angrily, "Hateful~"
Cheng Ruidong was so aroused that he picked up Liu Yuehong and walked towards the bedroom...
…
Airport.
As soon as Cheng Xiaoxiao and Lan Wangyou got off the plane, they met the second elder.
On the way to Cheng Ruidong's home, the Second Elder asked while driving, "Xiaoxiao, the country plans to directly publicize your deeds and teach the method of drawing qi into the body to the public. What do you think?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the back seat, nodded and said, "I'll just follow the country's arrangements."
The second elder glanced at Cheng Xiaoxiao in the mirror and felt sorry for the child from the bottom of his heart.
Two hours later.
Cheng Xiaoxiao and the other two came to Cheng Ruidong's house in the Fifth Ring Road of Beijing. Looking up at the old residential area, Cheng Xiaoxiao walked in expressionlessly.
"Knock knock~" There was a knock on the door.
Cheng Ruidong, looking satisfied, turned towards the door and shouted towards the bedroom, "Yuehong, there's someone knocking on the door."
"Got it!" Liu Yuehong, who was painting her nails, put down her things and twisted her body to walk towards the door. "Who is it?"
"Ahem!" The Second Elder cleared his throat lightly, "Water meter reader."
"Click!" The door opened. Liu Yuehong stood aside, blowing her nails. "Come in!"
Looking at the three people who came in, Liu Yuehong frowned, "What are you doing?"
