Chapter 13 I want to watch it too
On the stage, Father Xu was speaking excitedly and burst into tears while holding the microphone.
Xu Yao was standing next to Father Xu. Seeing this, he quickly took out a tissue and wiped his tears himself. His expression was focused and his movements were intimate
. Mother Xu was standing next to the two of them. After seeing Xu Yao's movements, there was no extra emotion on her face, as if she was already used to the intimacy between the father and son. When Father Xu looked over, she considerately handed him the cocktail in her hand.
Father Xu was slightly relieved when he saw that Mother Xu did not notice anything unusual, and reached out to take it.
Mother Xu took a glass of red wine from the waiter and handed it to Xu Yunzhi who was beside her.
Xu Yao looked over the wine glass at Xu Yinzhi on the other side. When he saw this scene, a triumphant smile flashed across his eyes, and he looked away with satisfaction.
Xu's father on the stage raised his glass: "On this day worth celebrating, I would like to toast everyone on behalf of my whole family!"
Seeing Xu's father drinking the cocktail in the glass in one gulp, Xu's mother on the side suddenly turned her head to look at him, with a fleeting smile on her lips.
Ye Leyao frowned and observed the strange atmosphere between their family. It seemed nothing unusual, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Recalling the plot of the novel he had read before, he suddenly realized -
[I understand!!! 】
The excited voice suddenly rang out, scaring Huo's father and mother.
Before they could calm down, they heard Ye Leyao say in an even more excited voice:
【No wonder I felt that there was something wrong with the logic before. Logically speaking, Xu Yao, who is ambitious and calculating, would definitely not make mistakes in major matters, and it is impossible for him to cheat with his adoptive father on this occasion... So he didn't know that this cocktail was spiked with drugs! 】
【Xu Yao was just looking at Xu Yunzhi... He wanted to drug Xu Yunzhi! 】
【But he didn't expect that this glass of spiked wine would be drunk by Xu's father! 】 【
Also, many media reporters were invited to today's banquet, but this manor is so big and there are so many hotel rooms, how could it be so coincidental that he was bumped into by a group of reporters? Unless the host of the banquet deliberately led them to encounter it! 】
Ye Leyao made a firm conclusion: [Mother Xu must have known about this a long time ago! 】
The Huo family and Qin Yao nodded in enlightenment after hearing this.
So that's it!
Didn't Mother Xu know about the affair between Father Xu and Xu Yao a long time ago? ! Mother Huo
frowned and couldn't help but whispered: "It's hard for her..."
Father Huo also nodded.
He finally found his son who had been away from home for more than ten years, but the adopted son who was raised by his side was worried that his status would be threatened, so he seduced the adoptive father who had raised him for more than ten years!
But Mother Xu couldn't expose it immediately and had been forbearing until now.
"I remember that Xu Yao's household registration is not in the Xu family, right?" Father Huo thought of something and asked Mother Huo in a low voice.
Mother Huo nodded. She had a good relationship with Mother Xu before. She whispered, "Mother Xu is just worried that Xu Yao will grow up too ambitious, so she took precautions in advance. I said before that she was too cautious..."
But now it seems that not every child is Ye Leyao.
Mother Huo said, "By the way, when you are free, remember to let Xiaoyao sign the share transfer agreement."
Father Huo smiled, "Don't worry, it's ready a long time ago. We also said that when Xiaoyao comes of age, we will transfer the shares to him."
Father Xu and Xu Yao on the stage are still "deep in father-son love". Because of the glass of wine with added ingredients, Father Xu's steps have become a little shaky, so Xu Yao stepped forward and supported him steadily.
The old man tilted his head, his eyes fell on Xu Yao's face with a hint of confusion, and his hand naturally rested on Xu Yao's waist, and even pinched it.
Xu Yao did not dodge, but just gave Xu's father a look.
Then Xu's father chuckled.
Xu Yao lowered his head slightly shyly.
Ye Leyao's brows were wrinkled together, and he felt that his eyes were being forced:
[I am just a jerk who reads novels, and I really don't want to see such an eye-catching scene——]
[Help, who can help me clean my eyes! 】
Qin Yao's head hurt because of his noise, and he quickly reached out and patted Ye Leyao's shoulder: "Leyao, what did you consider when you rejected my invitation to the variety show before?"
Ye Leyao's thoughts were instantly pulled back. He turned his head and saw Qin Yao's face close at hand. His pupils widened slightly, and he couldn't help but say: [Wow, why didn't I realize that President Qin was so handsome before! 】
Qin Yao: "..."
So what were you looking at the two times you met before?
Did you only see the money?
Ye Leyao's tone was as matter of course:
[Before, I only cared about making money and didn't notice it! 】
Qin Yao: "..."
Okay, okay.
He shouldn't have been kind enough to save Ye Leyao's eyes.
Ye Leyao didn't notice Qin Yao's unusual expression, and said, "It's nothing. I just feel a little burdened that I haven't debuted yet and will be on such a popular variety show as soon as I debut."
[I just made it up. It's really scary to participate in a program with a group of guests whose reputations are about to collapse and no one will survive! ]
The boy in front of him was quite honest in his heart. Thanks to Ye Leyao, Qin Yao has already started to investigate all the artists on the current invitation list.
Thinking of this, Qin Yao asked, "If I change a group of guests, are you willing to participate in the program?"
Ye Leyao: "Hmm?"
[Change people? Why did Mr. Qin suddenly think of changing people? ]
[Could it be that he really went to the temple to worship and received guidance from the masters? Qin Yao
looked at Ye Leyao, who was bewildered, and thought that he was indeed an expert.
If it weren't for Ye Leyao, he would have failed two projects in a row.
Thinking of how much Ye Leyao loved money, Qin Yao felt that this was a breakthrough: "If you come to participate, I will give you 500,000 yuan per period."
This remuneration is not small for many second-tier artists in the circle, but Ye Leyao was just a newcomer at this time, and it was rare to be paid so high.
Ye Leyao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
Five hundred thousand for one installment, that means six million for twelve installments!
[I’m a little... tempted!]
But he still didn’t agree right away, and only said, “Let me think about it…”
Qin Yao didn’t ask any more questions.
Ye Leyao turned his head and looked at the stage.
Father Xu’s face was already slightly red, and he looked like he had drunk too much. Xu Yao, who was standing next to him, kept supporting him and prevented him from falling.
It was not known whether it was because Father Xu was too heavy, or because his hand on Xu Yao’s waist was not honest, but Xu Yao’s face was also covered with a thin layer of sweat.
Ye Leyao took a look and quickly looked away:
[It’s too hot for the eyes, I should watch less.]
[But Father Xu looks like he can’t help it…]
As soon as Ye Leyao finished speaking, Xu Yao suddenly turned his head and said something to Mother Xu beside him.
Mother Xu nodded, and Xu Yao led Father Xu down the stage and walked toward the hotel behind the lobby.
[Ah~~~ It's started! Are we going now? ! ]
Ye Leyao was eager to try, and looked back at Qin Yao beside him.
Just as he was hesitating about what reason to use to separate from him, Huo Yan's voice came from the side: "Ye Leyao."
Ye Leyao looked over: "Second brother."
Huo Yan nodded to Qin Yao, looking normal, but actually very excited inside. He took the risk of being scolded by the agent and took another day off, wasn't it just for this moment?
Huo Yan suppressed his excitement and said calmly: "Accompany me to the room upstairs to change clothes."
Today's banquet will be held for a day. In order to provide a resting place for the guests, the Xu family prepared a room upstairs for each guest to rest.
Ye Leyao: [Eh? Second brother needs someone to accompany him to change clothes? ]
Huo Yan's mouth twitched.
He came to Ye Leyao's rescue, can't he see it? !
Fortunately, Ye Leyao seemed to react that this was a good opportunity to slip away, and quickly added: "Okay!"
Huo Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Yao said at this time: "I'm going to rest upstairs too, let's go together."
He would not let go of such a good opportunity to eat melons on the spot.
Huo Yan glanced at him, but didn't say anything in the end, and walked in front with Ye Leyao.
As the three of them entered the elevator, footsteps were heard behind them.
Ye Leyao turned around and saw Mr. and Mrs. Huo.
Facing Ye Leyao's slightly puzzled gaze, Mr. Huo cleared his throat and said, "Your mother and I are a little tired. We are going to go upstairs to rest."
Ye Leyao nodded.
[I understand. People in middle age will indeed feel powerless.]
Mr. Huo gritted his teeth.
Mrs. Huo supported her forehead.
At the same time, she shouted in her heart: What do you understand? ! Aren't we here to eat melons with you? !
The waiter who had been waiting by the elevator came forward and asked, "Excuse me, which floor do you need to go to?"
Mr. Huo looked at Mrs. Huo.
Mrs. Huo looked at Huo Yan.
Huo Yan glanced at Ye Leyao beside him and was silent for a moment: "Eighth floor."
Qin Yao then spoke: "Sixth floor."
The waiter swiped the card and pressed the elevator floor.
With a "beep" sound, the elevator door opened and Qin Yao was the first to get out of the elevator.
On the eighth floor, Huo's father and mother walked out, followed by Huo Yan.
Ye Leyao waved to the three of them: "Then second brother, go change your clothes by yourself, Huo's father and mother, you go to rest, I'm leaving first."
Huo Yan's eyelids jumped: "Where are you going?"
Ye Leyao:
[Of course, to eat melons! ]
[I remember that Xu Yao and Xu's father seemed to have started as soon as they entered, and then they caught the adultery. I have to go there quickly, otherwise I won't be able to catch up later! 】
Ye Leyao made up an excuse: "I'm a little hungry, I'm going downstairs to eat something."
Huo Yan couldn't stop him and could only watch the elevator door slowly close.
The three looked at each other.
In the end, it was Huo's mother who asked first: "Isn't it on the eighth floor?"
Huo Yan said: "Ye Leyao didn't say which floor it was."
Huo's father was anxious: "Then he should tell me quickly!"
Yes!
After all, time waits for no one!
Ye Leyao, you should tell me quickly! It's so anxious!
Qin Yao, who was on the sixth floor, had the same idea as them.
Which floor is it on? Why doesn't Ye Leyao tell me?
Here, Ye Leyao took the elevator back to the first floor.
He first scanned the lobby, and then saw a group of news media workers carrying equipment. His eyes lit up, and he picked up a small cake from the food area next to him and hurried after them.
[Okay, it looks like they are here. I have to follow them!]
The Huo family on the eighth floor:
"Found it?"
"So where is it?"
The elevator that Ye Leyao had just taken stopped once on the fifth floor, then on the third floor, and finally on the first floor.
Mother Huo looked at Huo Yan and said decisively: "Go to the fifth floor first!"
Huo Yan had complaints in his heart but did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly pressed the elevator button to go downstairs.
As the elevator opened with a "beep", he and Qin Yao in the elevator looked at each other.
Huo Yan: "...Why did you come up?"
Qin Yao coughed lightly: "You didn't change your clothes?" He looked around again, "Uncle and aunt are here too, why is Le Yao not here?"
Huo Yan found an excuse: "I was just about to go find him."
Qin Yao nodded: "Then let's go together."
Huo Yan muttered in his heart, what did Qin Yao want to ask Ye Leyao to do? But he had more important things to do now, so he didn't ask any more questions and just said, "Okay."
Huo's father and mother hesitated and waved to Huo Yan.
Huo's mother made a phone call gesture.
Huo Yan nodded to show that he understood.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Ye Leyao's voice rang again——
[Ah, this little cake is so delicious, I took too little. ]
Huo Yan's eyes lit up.
The little cake is on the first floor!
Huo's father and mother took an elevator as soon as possible.
Qin Yao pressed the button for the first floor: "I'll go downstairs to eat something first."
Huo Yan's eyes fell on the fifth floor where he had just pressed the button, gritting his teeth, and hated that he had pressed the elevator button too quickly!
As soon as they reached the fifth floor, Huo Yan rushed out of the elevator without hesitation, and then as soon as Qin Yao's elevator was gone, he quickly pressed the elevator next to him.
Three groups of people were rushing towards Ye Leyao at the fastest speed.
The elevator went down to the first floor, and Qin Yao saw the corner of Ye Leyao's clothes at the corner of the first-floor corridor with his sharp eyes. He ran after him, and after a few steps he saw the group of reporters in front.
The group chatted and laughed.
"Go and have a rest first, and we can do the interview later."
"How is your interview manuscript prepared?"
"Everything is ready, don't worry, I prepared it a week in advance, just waiting to interview Mr. Xu Yao--"
With a "beep--" sound, the door in front of them was opened, and the discussion of the reporters stopped abruptly.
Two ambiguous voices instantly echoed throughout the corridor——
“Don’t… No…, we still have to go out later…”
“It’s okay, Xiaoyao, help me, it will be quick…”
The ambiguous voices were mixed, and the reporter in front suddenly stopped.
The cameraman following behind them raised the camera dutifully. Ye Leyao stepped forward and
glanced through the crowd——
[Wow—the clothes are messy, and the atmosphere is strong! ] He took
another closer look—— [
