Chapter 18 The Crybaby Daddy
On the way back, Xia Xingxing's mind was filled with Huo Yuan. He wondered why there was someone in the world so similar to himself. He looked up at Xia Jingcheng.
Will my uncle know Huo Yuan?
It shouldn't be like that. If he knew, why has he never mentioned it to me?
Upon returning home, Xia Xingxing immediately woke up Xia Chuchu, who was still taking a nap.
Xia Chuchu gave a soft, childish hum, but didn't open her eyes to look at him. She turned over and continued to stay in bed.
"Chu Chu, I'll tell you a secret." Xia Xingxing leaned close to her ear, speaking very mysteriously.
"Hmph, I don't want to hear it. I already know you secretly went to see Mommy without me. I'm angry." Xia Chuchu haughtily hid her face under the covers.
Xia Xingxing said, "Don't you want to know who I met at the hospital?"
"Who else could I meet? Besides a bunch of mommy suitors, there's nothing else, right? I don't care about them. I only want my daddy." Xia Chuchu was already used to it. She looked down on other men. In her heart, the most perfect person in the world was her daddy. Why should she care about anyone else?
Xia Xingxing shook her head: "No, I saw someone who looks exactly like me at the hospital today!"
"Huh? Really?" Xia Chuchu immediately poked her head out from under the covers, blinking her beautiful big eyes.
“Yes, it’s true, exactly the same!” Xia Xingxing nodded.
Chu Chu tilted her little head and asked, "But how can there be someone in the world who looks exactly like my brother?"
"Could he be my younger brother or older brother?" Xia Xingxing asked.
Xia Chuchu said, "Why don't you ask him?"
"Hmph, he's just a crybaby, what can you possibly get out of him?" Xia Xingxing didn't dare to investigate further. He felt it was better to investigate himself.
Huo Yuan.
Both names are easy to remember.
Xia Xingxing opened her computer and searched, and surprisingly found Huo Yuan's Baidu Baike entry, which also included his family background and information.
"Wow, isn't this my brother?" Xia Chuchu exclaimed in shock, her mouth agape.
Xia Xingxing said, "This is not me. This is Huo Yuan."
"He looks just like my brother! Who is this handsome uncle? He's so handsome, so handsome!" Xia Chuchu's eyes widened when she saw Huo Nanxiao's photo.
Looking at his information again, he is Huo Yuan's father!
"Brother, is this our daddy? He's so handsome! I want him to be my daddy!" Xia Chuchu pointed her little finger at the computer and said in a sweet, childish voice, like a fangirl.
Xia Xingxing's face darkened: "We don't know him at all."
“But he looks just like my brother,” Xia Chuchu said excitedly.
Xia Xingxing frowned: "Could this be my daddy?"
"It must be! Wow, our daddy is so handsome! Why didn't Mommy tell us? I'm going to find him!" Xia Chuchu was overjoyed. She finally had a daddy! She was no longer a wild child without a daddy.
Xia Chuchu was overjoyed.
Xia Xingxing said, "Chu Chu, he's married now. If you come to our door now and it really is his child, then we'll be illegitimate children. What if his wife goes after Mommy? Mommy works so hard and finally has a stable life. She can't lose her job because of us."
Xia Chuchu's smile vanished instantly. She forced a smile and said disappointedly, "Okay, I'll listen to my brother."
"Don't worry, Chu Chu, we will definitely find Daddy. I promise, I'll tell you first when I find Daddy," Xia Xingxing assured her.
"Okay!" Xia Chuchu nodded.
Xia Xingxing glanced at Xia Jingcheng, who was cooking outside the door, and whispered, "Then you have to do me a favor."
"What kind of help?" Xia Chuchu blinked her big, innocent eyes.
"Give me all your pocket money." Xia Xingxing said very seriously.
Xia Chuchu pouted: "I have no money!"
“Finding a daddy costs money,” Xia Xingxing explained.
Xia Chuchu: "Then I don't want Daddy anymore, I have no money."
"You stingy little thing, you're just as annoying as that crybaby, hmph!" Xia Xingxing puffed out her cheeks and threw a tantrum like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Xia Chuchu took out a dollar with a pitiful look on her face: "Here, take this. It's for your travel expenses to find Daddy. That's all I can give you."
"Thank you, Chu Chu!" Xia Xingxing happily tackled her.
In the afternoon, he asked Xia Chuchu to pester Xia Jingcheng to go out and buy candy, while Xia Xingxing carried a small schoolbag and took the bus to the gate of Yunting Group.
This is the Huo family's company in the capital city. The building is towering into the clouds and very impressive!
This was the first time Xia Xingxing had ever seen such a tall building, and she couldn't help but be surprised. Was Huo Yuan's father really that rich? Did all these huge skyscrapers belong to their family? How amazing!
There were security guards outside the door, and Xia Xingxing didn't know if she could go in, so she mustered up her courage and walked in.
"Good afternoon, young master!" As soon as they approached the building, two rows of security guards bowed and greeted them in unison!
Xia Xingxing pretended to be calm, but he was actually terrified inside. He knew that they must have mistaken him for Huo Yuan!
He ran into the building as fast as he could!
"Hello, where is Huo Nanxiao's office?" Xia Xingxing adjusted her sunglasses as she walked to the front desk, trying to look like an adult.
The receptionist was taken aback: "Young Master, what brings you to the company? Weren't you injured and hospitalized?"
"Cough, I'm fine now, I'm here to find my daddy, where's his office?" Xia Xingxing continued to ask.
The manager said, "87th floor, didn't you come here before?"
"I forgot, thank you." Xia Xingxing turned and left.
Manager: "Young master, let me take you upstairs."
"No need, I'll go up myself." Xia Xingxing quickly ran into the elevator, pressed the floor button, and closed the door, not giving the front desk manager a chance to catch up.
He was so nervous his heart was pounding, and he was breathing heavily. Luckily, no one noticed.
"This face is quite useful. It seems everyone thinks Huo Yuan looks like me, there must be something wrong with that!"
Xia Xingxing didn't believe there could be such a coincidence in the world. If it were just him who thought he and Huo Yuan looked alike, that would be one thing, but now even all the employees of Huo Yuan's father's family thought they looked alike. There was only one possibility: their fathers were the same person! Only equally strong genes could make them look so alike!
With that face, he passed through without any obstacles. When he entered the 87th floor, he was even led to the president's office. Of course, they also asked about "Huo Yuan's" injuries. Xia Xingxing smiled and said that he was fine. After entering Huo Nanxiao's office, he sat obediently on the sofa and waited.
Ye Su poured a glass of milk and placed it on the table: "Young Master, the CEO is in a meeting. Please wait a moment."
“Okay!” Xia Xingxing smiled at her every day.
Ye Su was stunned, puzzled. When did the young master become so lively and cheerful? He had come to the company so many times, but no one had ever seen him smile. Had he changed his personality?
