Chapter 31: The Youthful Dad
Xu Qingye didn't say anything, just looked at Chen Que, to see what he could say. Chen Que pretended to be profound for a while before slowly speaking.
"Dad has a youthful vibe, a dad with a youthful vibe. The way you scolded me just now is exactly as described."
Shen Que didn't know where Xu Qingye got so many great ideas from. He was obviously only a few years older than him, but he spoke very well!
Seeing Shen Que's beautiful eyes curved into crescents, Xu Qingye lost his admiration. He finally understood that people really smile when they are speechless. Xu Qingye felt that the corners of his mouth were about to be out of control. Before a bunch of words that needed to be silenced came out of his mouth, a light bulb went off in his head and he suddenly changed the subject.
"No wonder you never call me brother, it turns out you want to call me dad. Come on, I'm ready to let you feel the deep fatherly love. Come on, face your inner desire bravely."
Xu Qingye opened his arms. If Shen Que was in front of him, he might give him a big hug and let him feel the greatness of fatherly love.
"I'm not interested in finding dads everywhere. I'm busy filming, so I'll hang up now."
Shen Que quickly turned off the video. For a moment, Xu Qingye felt that he seemed to blush.
"Coward."
Looking at the blackened screen of his mobile phone, Xu Qingye smiled complacently. Shen Que was still too naive to tease him.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Qingye had just gone downstairs for a while when Meng Xi's affairs were completely exposed. The truth was much more serious than Meng Xi said. Ms. Chen, who was exposed, said that she had been with Meng Xi for more than three years and had spent nearly five million on Meng Xi during that period. Meng Xi had been asking her for money on the grounds of planning a wedding and buying a wedding house.
Ms. Chen had been looking forward to their wedding. When she happily told Meng Xi about her pregnancy, Meng Xi's attitude changed completely. He started not replying to messages, disappeared, and promoted himself as single and longing for love on various programs.
Ms. Chen was so angry that she went to find him. After finally stopping him, she was insulted with all kinds of words and questioned whether her child was his. She argued for a few words and then Meng Xi started to attack her. He suddenly seemed to turn from a human into some kind of beast, punching her in the stomach again and again.
Ms. Chen wanted to run, but was dragged back by him. She then rolled down the stairs. Ms. Chen lost consciousness and felt pain all over her body. Meng Xi came to his senses and saw the person lying in a pool of blood. He was so scared that he ran away.
Ms. Chen was lucky that a cleaning lady passing by called an ambulance for her.
During this period, Ms. Chen has been in a coma and Meng Xi has never appeared.
In the video recorded directly by Ms. Chen, she was covered in wounds and looked extremely weak. She had to pause for a long time before saying the next sentence.
Xu Qingye couldn't bear to watch any further. Thinking of Meng Xi's expression as if nothing had happened, he regretted not punching him twice. How could a person be so shameless?
As soon as the post became a hot topic on Weibo, Cao Muan called. She was even more excited than Xu Qingye. She had previously thought that Xu Qingye's behavior was somewhat immoral, but now she felt that he was too moral. Such a scumbag should be physically castrated.
The busiest side is Haohai Entertainment. Zhou Xiong probably didn't expect the truth to be like this. This is countless times more serious than what Meng Xi told him, which gave him a headache. Haohai Entertainment quickly started public relations to distance itself from Meng Xi, but even so, it will cause many adverse consequences in the near future because of him.
The bottom line of scumbag men is getting lower and lower, and cheating is not so scumbag anymore.
Xu Qingye listened to Cao Muan's chatter and only spoke after she finally quieted down.
"Ms. Chen will definitely be harassed recently. Find some people to accompany her and prevent her from being harassed by the media. She needs to rest and recuperate now."
"Okay, I'll go right away. Don't worry, I'll make sure to complete the task."
Cao Muan was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected this. She still lacked experience. It would probably be difficult to interview Meng Xi for the time being, but the victim was in the hospital, and there would definitely be unscrupulous media rushing over. Cao Muan hung up the phone and immediately contacted some security personnel to take them to the hospital.
Meng Xi's case was a serious violent incident. Ms. Chen called the police and someone soon went to look for Meng Xi. Xu Qingye quickly went out to prepare to take a picture of him being arrested.
The entrance of Haohai Entertainment was already crowded with people. When Xu Qingye arrived, there was almost no place to stand. Fortunately, his equipment was quite sophisticated and he could take clear pictures even from a distance. He ran to the opposite building and found a good spot to take pictures.
Just as the equipment was ready, someone patted his shoulder. Xu Qingye was startled and turned around to see Brother Huang's fat and somewhat wretched face.
"You've made your mark, and you've found a good position."
Brother Huang came empty-handed and didn't even have a camera. Xu Qingye didn't know why he appeared here.
"Walking, Brother Huang?"
"That's about right. You've been hanging around everywhere, and it's you who broke the news. How come you're so well-informed?" Brother Huang pinched Xu Qingye's shoulder. His performance has been rising rapidly since he became independent, and it was obvious that he was slacking off at work.
"Just good luck."
Xu Qingye gave an awkward smile. There was a movement downstairs, and Xu Qingye quickly pressed the shutter to take a picture of Meng Xi being arrested.
There are quite a lot of legal whizzes recently, and the entertainment industry may need some cleanup. When the scum is caught, newcomers will have a chance to come to the fore.
Xu Qingye was thinking about who to follow next and didn't notice that Brother Huang was still standing behind him looking at him.
"What's wrong? You need me for something?"
Xu Qingye finally felt something was wrong and looked at Brother Huang with some vigilance. Brother Huang was a mysterious man and sometimes he found it difficult to understand him.
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask you, do you really like doing this? With your education and abilities, you can do other things well, right? Why do you have to do this?"
"I just love the entertainment industry, I love eating melons, I love digging deep into gossip, and this line of work is very free. I quite like it and plan to do it for a long time."
Xu Qingye was a little confused. He remembered that he had asked Cao Mu'an the same question before. Before asking him, Cao Mu'an probably had a prejudice against this industry and felt that a college student should not work in this industry. But Cao Mu'an's answer woke him up. There is no high or low distinction between professions. As long as you are happy and earn enough money to support yourself, that is enough.
"If you like the entertainment industry and like to eat melons, you can be an actor, a screenwriter, a producer, or anything like that. Anyway, you and your mother have broken up, and she can't interfere with you no matter what you do, so why bother doing this?"
Brother Huang was a little confused. He could feel the things he liked by doing other things, and even get more inside information. This was no better than working hard as a paparazzi.
No one in this circle likes paparazzi. Sometimes they are even hated by everyone and are compared to stinky rats in the gutter. It is not a good job at all.
Xu Qingye paused while packing his things and looked at Brother Huang seriously again.
"Brother Huang, you're quite well-informed. You already knew about my recent breakup with her. Are you here to lobby for her?"
"Why would I be her lobbyist? If I were her lobbyist, I would advise you to stay home and stay put. She doesn't want you to show up in public. It's best if you just live a quiet life like this."
Brother Huang snorted, sounding very dissatisfied with what Xu Hong had done.
"Either I'm lobbying for her or for my dad."
Xu Qingye continued to pack his things nonchalantly and said this casually. Brother Huang seemed to be pricked by something and immediately shook his head.
"How would I know who your father is? Don't talk nonsense."
"Why are you so nervous? I won't ask you any questions. I'm not interested in any of this."
Xu Qingye laughed when he saw Brother Huang's nervous expression. He couldn't hide any secrets at all, and it was obvious that he knew everything.
Unfortunately, Xu Qingye didn't care about the answer.
"You really don't want to know. If you don't ask, you won't have another chance in the future."
Xu Qingye didn't ask, but Brother Huang was eager to talk.
"I don't want to know. I'm living a good life. If you have any gossip, you can share it with me. I'd be happy to hear it." Xu Qingye looked relaxed. He had already packed up his things and was ready to leave. He had already taken the photos he needed to take, and he would just find two gossip accounts to post them on.
"That's fine. You know how to live your life comfortably, so I won't say anything. Don't blame me for being nosy. And don't blame your mother too much. She was too young back then. She didn't even understand life herself."
"If you have expectations of her, you will have complaints. Now I don't expect anything, but after all, she gave birth to me, and if she needs me to take care of her in her old age, I will be responsible. Okay, don't bring this up all the time. Want to have a midnight snack together? I'm hungry."
Xu Qingye rubbed his belly and acted a bit like a spoiled child.
"Come on, I'll treat you to a meal. I know best which restaurant here is the best."
Brother Huang walked down the stairs, took Xu Qingye's bag and helped him carry it. Xu Qingye looked at his back and suddenly became curious. He quickly walked forward and walked side by side with Brother Huang.
"Hey, I've always wanted to ask you, are you secretly in love with my mom?"
"I have a crush on you, fuck off."
When Brother Huang heard this, he immediately got furious and raised his leg to hit Xu Qingye, but Xu Qingye quickly dodged.
"Hey, I was just joking."
"Your mother and I are just from the same hometown. I was the one who brought her out, and now she is living the life she wants."
Brother Huang suddenly felt a little emotional, but Xu Qingye felt that the story inside must not be that simple, but these were all stories from the previous life.
After having a midnight snack with Brother Huang, Xu Qingye secretly gave him some wine. When he drank too much, he talked more, and Xu Qingye probably understood something.
In the past, when Brother Huang was going out to work, he saw that Xu Hong was pretty and had some thoughts about taking her with him.
The two of them started out by setting up a stall to sell boxed lunches, which happened to be near the crew. Xu Hong was pretty, and people always asked her to be an extra, paying her more money than selling boxed lunches. After tasting the sweetness, she naturally stopped selling boxed lunches.
Since then, Xu Hong has been exposed to the film and television industry, and later relied on her talent and hard work to get to where she is today.
Brother Huang worked as his assistant and security guard, and his life was pretty good. But then they didn't know how they fell out, and Brother Huang worked as a paparazzi, but they still kept in touch over the years.
"Ask, ask, ask, ask so many questions, and you still say you don't want to know. You must be very anxious."
Brother Huang squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Qingye, as if he could see through his little thoughts completely.
"I didn't ask about my dad. I really don't want to know at all." Xu Qingye took the bottle of wine and poured another glass for Brother Huang.
