The next morning, Xia Xueqing was still asleep when Di Xiu left home. Just as the meeting started, his cell phone suddenly rang.
The secretary sitting next to him immediately erupted: "How many times do I have to tell you, turn your phone to silent during meetings..."
Seeing that it was the mayor next to her who took out his phone, her expression immediately changed, and she said with a smile, "What if others can't find you when they need to?"
Di Xiu said, "Wait for me for two minutes," and walked out while answering the phone.
Sure enough, Xia Xueqing started causing trouble again. Whether it was to protest her unrequited love or to express her heartbreak over his indifferent attitude, she refused to eat breakfast.
"Sir, why don't you come back quickly and try to persuade Miss? If this continues, how can her health take it?"
Emperor Xiu: "..."
This statement would be more convincing if you didn't bring her food last night.
He had no patience to listen to their act, said "I'm busy," and hung up the phone and turned it off.
The secretary asked cautiously, "Mayor, has something happened at home?"
001, mimicking Xi Shi clutching her heart, exclaimed in an extremely exaggerated manner, "Oh my god, why is my father, who has always doted on me, so cold to me? Why can't he let me be with the person I like? Why can't he forgive me for hurting him? He's so cold-hearted. I must make him apologize to me before I can forgive him."
Emperor Xiu: "..."
Di Xiu glanced calmly at his secretary, placed his phone face down on the table, and said to the person standing in front of the podium, "Continue."
He listened attentively to his subordinates' reports, but no one paid attention to 001, and he couldn't put on a solo performance. So, while keeping an eye on the group of butlers and servants who were plotting in the Xia family villa, he began to deduce the timeline.
The Huo family is a century-old family and a top-tier wealthy family, ranking among the best in the world. They are currently mainly based in Shanghai.
Huo Ting displayed remarkable talent from a young age. Xia Hongfei graduated from university at the age of 20, which was quite good. However, at the same age, this protagonist had already obtained two doctoral degrees from abroad and made a fortune of 1 billion yuan in one year with only 200,000 yuan in start-up capital. He crushed all his uncles, cousins, and illegitimate children and became the crown prince of the Huo family in a glorious manner.
With such a perfect start, it's not unbelievable that he's now stuck working as a resident singer in a bar in J City; it's as if his brain has completely gone awry.
This brings us to the pure and beautiful white moonlight in his heart.
Bai Yueguang is the eldest daughter of Huo family's butler, and she and the little green tea who is now by Huo Ting's side are sisters. The three of them grew up together.
Most of these "green tea" girls have a backstory—they secretly admire Huo Ting.
Huo Ting and Bai Yueguang fell in love over time, but due to their vastly different social statuses, their relationship was cruelly broken up by their domineering parents.
After being forcibly sent abroad, Huo Ting, filled with grief and indignation, completed his doctorate at an astonishing speed, while simultaneously earning 1 billion yuan. Upon returning to China, he quickly gained influence and began a secret relationship with his beloved—because his domineering patriarch grandfather disapproved of their relationship.
His good fortune didn't last long. News leaked out, and his grandfather was unhappy with his emotional outburst. His father was also unhappy with the woman who had seduced his son. The latter then hired an assassin to kill her.
In the 21st century, in a society governed by the rule of law, a century-old family... tsk tsk tsk.
By this time, Huo Ting had also gained control of part of the family's power. After discovering the truth, he was tormented by his inability to avenge the woman he loved, so he took the "green tea" girl and left for distant lands.
He refused to use a single penny of the money he brought from home, nor did he want to reveal his identity, so he went to a small bar to sing and earn money. By the way, it was actually the young woman who sang to earn money at first, until she was harassed by a pervert and called for help, after which he, the grown man, took over.
Although Xiao Qingcha is a green tea bitch and might even play the role of a villainous supporting character, she is undeniably devoted to Huo Ting.
Xia Xueqing has a nemesis best friend who drags her to the bar after her breakup. The two of them are targeted by a pervert. When they are weak, pitiful and helpless, Huo Ting, who usually doesn't care about other people's business, saves them. From then on, Xia Xueqing falls in love with him at first sight and insists on marrying him. She even tells Xia Hongfei about it.
No normal person would want their precious daughter to be with a down-on-his-luck singer, especially one who has no ambition whatsoever. Xia Hongfei wanted to spend money to get him to become a proper singer, but he refused.
But Xia Xueqing was blinded by love and insisted on pursuing him and marrying him. Xia Hongfei, perhaps also poisoned by some stale food, seemed to have given in, otherwise this little drama queen wouldn't have had the chance to go to the bar every few days.
I wonder what those people in that villa were thinking. Without knowing Huo Ting's true identity, they actually supported their young lady finding such a true love—someone who's not rich but has talent. What kind of talent does he have? These people are probably all talent scouts.
Because Di Xiu replaced Xia Hongfei, these people thought he had suddenly started to oppose them, and now all sorts of bad ideas are coming out, including but not limited to letting their beloved young lady elope with a wild man and making it a fait accompli.
001 was completely speechless.
He told Di Xiu about it, and seeing that he didn't care, he let them be.
Based on 001's speculation, the male lead might be unconsciously attracted to and moved by the female lead, and thus begin to fall in love with someone else. The obviously heavyweight female supporting character, the "green tea b*tch," will definitely cause trouble and plot against the female lead, but in doing so, she will actually push the two of them closer to each other.
When the time is right, due to some misunderstanding, Xia Hongfei, this innocent child, might be sacrificed to the heavens. Actually, it's possible that he'll be paralyzed or left with nothing, but 001 thinks it's more likely that he'll be sacrificed directly.
Without a tragic love story, she wouldn't be worthy of being the female lead in a tragic novel, nor would she be worthy of Xia Hongfei's status as a victim of a great injustice.
