Chapter 8 The Fallen Child Star 8

The dinner was very sumptuous, and every dish was home-cooked, but all were delicious.

During the meal, Zhang Qingyi's cell phone kept ringing. She glanced at the caller ID, muted her phone and threw it aside, without answering any of them.

Why would she answer a call from a scumbag? Listening to the scumbag's excuses and arguing with him would only make her more angry and sad.

After dinner, Zhang Qingyi took the initiative to wash the dishes.

She didn't know how to use the wellbore, and she didn't get any water after shaking it several times. Xu Weiheng went to help her.

Yao Rong said, "Qingyi, while you're staying here, come and have dinner with us."

Zhang Qingyi was a little embarrassed.

But she felt very relaxed and happy when she cooked and ate with Yao Rong and the others just now.

This made her reluctant to refuse.

After thinking about it, Zhang Qingyi transferred a month's food allowance to Yao Rong, and said that he would take on the daily dishwashing task, so she happily agreed.

Xu Weiheng pulled out a dogtail grass from somewhere, squatted by the well, and shook the furry dogtail grass up and down to tease Ping An.

Ping An fluttered back and forth towards the dogtail grass like a butterfly, and his little head turned around and around, feeling dizzy.

Xu Weiheng was touched by its cuteness, and his eyes bent unconsciously.

"Do you like Aunt Zhang very much?"

"Huh?" Yao Rong was puzzled.

"Ever since you met Aunt Zhang, you have been caring for her and helping her."

Yao Rong brushed off her scattered hair in the evening breeze: "It's just a piece of cake."

She cooks for herself and Xu Weiheng every day.

It actually takes the same amount of time and energy to make portions for two and three.

It's just a matter of using an extra pair of chopsticks.

It would be fine if she didn't know Zhang Qingyi, but on the one hand, Zhang Qingyi lives in a guesthouse, and on the other hand, her experience is somewhat similar to Yao Rong's.

Yao Rong can understand Zhang Qingyi's feelings very well.

She has experienced some pain, and knowing its existence, she doesn't want Zhang Qingyi to repeat the same experience.

Besides, Yao Rong also accepted Zhang Qingyi's favor for asking Zhang's father to post on Weibo.

This is a friend who knows how to repay kindness and is worth making friends with.

Xu Weiheng pondered.

He doesn't have many friends.

The best friend is an artist in the same company.

But when he was in trouble, his best friend openly backstabbed him and directly posted a Weibo to support Xu Yiyuan.

This Weibo post made the other party gain two million fans overnight, and also made him feel the taste of betrayal and despair further.

Xu Weiheng never mentioned it to anyone, but he always wondered if he didn't do well enough, so his best friend betrayed him.

But now, watching the relationship between Yao Rong and Zhang Qingyi, Xu Weiheng thought, maybe it's not that he didn't do well enough, but that he made the wrong friends and misplaced trust.

He treated the other party as his best friend, but the other party might treat him as a fool.

A confusion in his heart was answered, and the smile on Xu Weiheng's face became more relaxed.

Yao Rong pushed Xu Weiheng: "Take Ping An out for a walk after dinner."

Xu Weiheng stood up and took two steps outside, then realized something was wrong and turned around to ask: "Am I going alone?"

"Yes."

"...but I don't know the way."

Yao Rong curled her lips: "It doesn't matter, Ping An knows the way, just follow him, he will take you back when he has had enough fun."

Xu Weiheng: "?"

Is he trying to take Ping An away, or is Ping An trying to take him away?

Without waiting for Xu Weiheng to protest, Ping An could not wait to rush to the door.

Xu Weiheng gave Yao Rong a depressed look and hurriedly chased after him.

Ping An ran very fast, but he would stop for a while every time he ran a certain distance.

When Xu Weiheng caught up with him, he continued to run.

As the sun sets in the west, the clouds turn rose-red, and the sunset is stretched out in the narrow alley, just like the slow pace of life in this small town.

After dinner, the elderly or children bring benches to sit at the gate of the courtyard, chatting in the cool.

Some radio is playing music outside.

The golden songs of the 1980s are playing in the alley, and Xu Weiheng is chasing Ping An through the streets.

At this time, Yao Rong has done yoga for half an hour and is taking care of the flowers and trees in the courtyard.

She holds a pair of scissors specially used for pruning branches, and cuts off the three best-blooming roses on the branches, including the flowers and branches. After washing the vases, she inserts the roses into them one by one.

She puts a rose and a can of Wangzai on the windowsill of Xu Weiheng's room, and sends another rose to the third floor and places it next to Zhang Qingyi's door.

She placed the remaining rose beside her desk.

There was no need to use perfume, as the rose's own fragrance permeated the room.

Yao Rong turned on the computer and began to continue writing the novel "Starry Sky".

This novel tells the story of a middle-aged man named Hua who was unfortunately stranded among various planets.

He traveled between planets, witnessed countless magnificence, and experienced all kinds of thrilling stories, just to find the way back to the blue planet.

He loved this vast planet, but he was more attached to his hometown.

***

The days in Ying County were very leisurely.

Xu Weiheng was dragged by Yao Rong for a morning run every morning, and chased Ping An through the streets in the evening.

This kind of life rhythm made him almost forget all the bad things.

Until Lawyer Zhou called Yao Rong.

On the phone, Lawyer Zhou announced: "From today on, Mr. Xu's contract with Star Language Media is void. You are no longer an artist under Star Language Media. Star Language Media will pay Mr. Xu 5 million in mental damages in the future."

Xu Weiheng was stunned.

He was already surprised to be able to terminate the contract smoothly, and he didn't expect that there would be such a high mental damages.

Lawyer Zhou explained, "You are still a minor, but Xingyu Media has exploited you for two years by using the contract. The judge took this into consideration when making the judgment."

Xu Weiheng suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Yao Rong, who was sitting next to him, could hear the trance in his words and couldn't help but smile, "If you encounter such a thing in the future, you must not tolerate it. Just like on the plane, stand up bravely, fight for others and for yourself. If you contacted a lawyer earlier, those people would not dare to bully you openly."

Xu Weiheng pursed his lips.

That's the truth.

After explaining his work, Lawyer Zhou found Yao Rong and told her one thing alone, "The director of "Entertainment New World" contacted me and said he wanted your contact information. He was quite enthusiastic. If you agree, I will tell them your phone number."

Yao Rong's eyes flashed.

Calculating the time, the episode of "Entertainment New World" recorded by Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan should be broadcast.

Yao Rong agreed immediately: "Of course no problem."

The director was really enthusiastic.

As soon as the phone was connected, he kept calling her Ms. Yao and "you".

The remuneration he should give was also clear.

And what he needed Yao Rong to do was just to stand up as Xu Ji's ex-wife to prove that Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan had a blood relationship.

The requirements were not high, and he was so enthusiastic, how could Yao Rong have the nerve to refuse the director's request?

Cooperation, must cooperate vigorously!

Yao Rong even told the director seriously what kind of publicity can achieve the greatest effect and bring the greatest benefits.

The director seemed to have opened up a new world. He humbly accepted the teachings on the other end of the phone, nodded repeatedly, and almost called out "Ms. Yao, you are my god."

"Ms. Yao, please believe me, this will definitely be a perfect win-win situation."

Before hanging up the phone, the director confidently assured.

Yao Rong smiled and put down the phone.

It doesn't matter whether it's a win-win situation or not.

What's important is that a world where only Xu Ji's family is hurt is about to be achieved.

A day later, the official Weibo of "Entertainment New World" released a trailer.

In the trailer, Director Chen of "2050" only appeared for a few seconds, and the rest of the screen was all about showing the father-son relationship between Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan.

And the program crew is very mean.

During the promotion, their main points were "stepfather and stepson get along well", "not biological father and son, but better than biological father and son", and "there has never been love without reason in this world."

This wave of operations has made the popularity of Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan, the father and son, rise steadily.

A paparazzi deliberately interviewed Xu Ji and asked him why Xu Ji, who was obviously Xu Weiheng's biological father, did not help Xu Weiheng, but instead revealed to the media that Xu Weiheng had beaten Xu Yiyuan more than once.

Xu Ji said righteously: "Since it is a fact, there is nothing that cannot be said. Even if Xu Weiheng is my biological son, he should be punished for making a mistake. I can't teach him well, so let public opinion teach him for me."

The paparazzi was very moved and gave Xu Ji a thumbs up.

Really, he thought Xu Ji spoke very well and showed great righteousness.

- If he had not squatted downstairs of Xu Weiheng's apartment and was told the truth by Yao Rong himself, he would have believed Xu Ji's acting skills.

This acting skill has put countless actors in the entertainment industry on the spot.

The paparazzi posted this interview video online, pushing the popularity further up.

The most popular parent-child travel variety show in the country immediately extended an olive branch to Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan.

Although Xu Yiyuan has accumulated a lot of popularity in the two years since his debut, his resources in the entertainment industry are still somewhat mediocre, and he has never seen such a scene before.

Not only Xu Yiyuan, but even Xu Ji has tasted the sweetness.

The notice fee for recording a two-hour program is more than his monthly salary.

At the suggestion of Xu Yiyuan's mother, Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan began to show off their father-son relationship on Weibo.

Text, photos, videos, everything is available.

In just two days, Xu Yiyuan's Weibo followers soared by 4 million, and Xu Ji's newly opened Weibo also had 1 million followers.

Their popularity quickly fed back to the latest issue of "Entertainment New World".

Countless netizens are eagerly waiting for the show to be broadcast.

The director of "Entertainment New World" has been paying attention to the development of the situation. Seeing that the development of the situation was not at all beyond Yao Rong's expectations, he was excited and sighed.

To be honest, he and Yao Rong only did two things, one was to focus on promoting the father-son relationship, and the other was to make the facts clear.

The real people who pushed the matter behind the scenes and wanted everyone to pay attention to this matter were Xu Ji's family.

The more they do now, the more popularity they accumulate. When the truth is revealed, the backlash of public opinion will become more and more serious.

And all these bad consequences were caused by their own hands.

At 8 o'clock on Friday night, the latest episode of "Entertainment New World" was recorded on the video website on time, attracting the attention of thousands of people.

The first hour and a half of the show was almost the home court of Xu Ji and Xu Yiyuan.

Seeing that there were only the last thirty seconds left on the progress bar of this episode, many viewers were about to exit the show -

the screen went dark.

The recording sounded.

This recording only has a very short sentence.

"I am Xu Ji's ex-wife and Xu Weiheng's biological mother. The biggest lie of this episode is that: We are not biological father and son, but better than biological father and son."

After the words fell, there was no time for the audience to think, and the progress bar was completed.

This episode of the variety show is over.
