Chapter 307 (Combined with 3072)
307:
Netizens: !!!
Netizens never dreamed that while things were going badly, something else was happening. They waited for ages, but He Yao and He Han's Weibo accounts remained completely still, while Mu Shaowu's account suddenly became a hot topic.
Holy crap! It really is He Yao!
[Following Mu Shaowu's tag, it really is He Yao's homepage that I know!]
So how did Mu Shaowu know that he was He Yao?!
[Because he sued yqxjc! The lawyers will definitely need to get his personal information from the platform, otherwise how can they sue him and send him a court summons?!]
Oh, I knew it!
So He Yao really went in?!
[Is this even real? It's clearly stated in white lettering on a blue background! Seven days of detention!]
[Hahaha, this is probably the legendary case of Mu Shaowu just wanting He Yao to stay away from him on stage, but He Yao actually wants him dead!]
[Isn't that right? If he hadn't insisted on jumping around and smearing Ye Qingxi, he wouldn't have been noticed, those remarks wouldn't have been discovered, and he wouldn't have been made an example of!]
[Karma! He deserved it! Let him smear another six-year-old child!]
Exactly! Do they really think the internet is a lawless zone?!
[Awesome! This is even more awesome than the novel I read today!]
I never imagined that the gossip I was following was actually part of a long-running drama!
He Yao is truly finished now, and he brought it all on himself. It's kind of funny.
He Han: ...
He Han thought that as long as she didn't say anything, everyone could only guess, but unexpectedly Mu Shaowu appeared out of nowhere.
She sighed, feeling that she had done everything she could.
If anyone's to blame, blame Mu Shaowu.
Which celebrity would make such a statement? Only Mu Shaowu.
He Han stopped browsing Weibo—there was nothing she wanted to see anyway.
Netizens applauded, while the marketing accounts named by Mu Shaowu trembled with fear.
Among the Weibo accounts that He Yao used in the official announcement, there were Weibo IDs that were used to submit articles to him/contact them/pay them to publish smear articles.
He Yao is now in custody. Although on the surface this matter seems to have nothing to do with Ye Qingxi's smear articles, who knows whether Mu Shaowu actually played a role behind the scenes? Otherwise, with so many people making inappropriate remarks every day, why was he the one who was arrested and became a typical example?
These marketing accounts sent private messages to Mu Shaowu, saying they were wrong, willing to apologize, and willing to pay compensation, hoping that Mu Shaowu could settle the matter privately.
Some even stated directly that He Yao submitted the article to them, and that they only wanted to gain some traffic, and that they didn't really want to smear Ye Qingxi. They said that as long as Mu Shaowu agreed to a settlement, they were willing to pay compensation and apologize, and would send positive press releases to Mu Shaowu every day from now on.
Mu Shaowu did not reply to any of these responses.
He chose to take screenshots and post them directly on Weibo.
Mu Shaowu V: [I said no reconciliation, no mediation, are you taking this as a joke? Don't you like traffic? Here, I'll give you a free wave.]
Marketing accounts: ...
Netizens watching the drama: !!!
Wow! So handsome!
[Mu Shaowu is really something; he's absolutely unyielding when it comes to Ye Qingxi!]
[Ahhh, does anyone understand? I really want him to be my dad right now!]
I wish my dad loved me that much QAQ
[Support! He's just trying to smear Ye Qingxi; isn't posting this a clear attempt to discredit her?!]
[I've been fed up with these marketing accounts for a long time; they're always stirring up trouble! Sue them! Sue them until they're bankrupt!]
That's right! Go Mu Shaowu!
[But He Yao really hates Ye Qingxi! He was the one who submitted the article! My God!]
[So that's why so many marketing accounts suddenly posted this!]
[The video claiming Ye Qingxi lip-synced was released at 6 PM, but by 9 PM, marketing accounts were all making statements, and by 10 PM, #YeQingxiLipSinging# was trending. This speed of escalation is far too fast; it doesn't happen at all like a normal event. There must be someone pulling the strings behind this!]
[It's reasonable to suspect that He Yao not only bought marketing accounts but also bought trending topics, all to catch Ye Qingxi off guard as quickly as possible!]
[Maybe that video is also related to him!]
How shameless! To use such methods on a child!
Seven days is too short; I think he should be locked up for seven months!
Netizens were once again outraged, cursing both the marketing accounts that spread rumors and He Yao.
When Ye Qingxi and Qin Cheng got tired of playing and went back to their bedroom to rest, they checked Weibo and found that there was a new development in the matter of his lip-syncing!
He Yao went inside!
His father publicly named He Yao!
His father exposed all the marketing accounts that tried to reconcile but failed!
There was even evidence inside that He Yao had paid them money!
As a result, He Yao has become a complete pariah this time, and his reputation is so bad that it can't get any worse!
Ye Qingxi almost burst out laughing with joy.
Given this, it will be harder than climbing to heaven for He Yao to make a comeback!
Once you put on a blue background with white lettering, you've basically said goodbye to the entertainment industry.
Previously, He Yao could have waited for the storm to pass, for time to heal all wounds, switched companies, played a good character, and relied on his work to return to the public eye.
Now, no production team would hire him.
He could no longer continue acting, and he had no way to try to oust his father and become the new top star.
His career was completely over.
I just don't know if his love can continue.
However, in the original book, He Yao had already become a top star, and Qiu Lu's parents felt that he was not good enough for Qiu Lu. Now that He Yao has been to the police station and his career has collapsed, Qiu Lu's parents would probably look down on him even more.
But it's okay!
Ye Qingxi thought, Qiu Lu has been in there too!
From this perspective, the two are a perfect match!
He cheered them on and supported them being together!
come on!
You two are the perfect match!
You must overcome all obstacles and continue your beautiful love story!
He wanted to see if Qiu Lu's parents would still be as sweet and happy as before, even without his grandfather's help!
The controversy surrounding Ye Qingxi's lip-syncing has temporarily subsided after He Yao's arrest. Brands that had previously been interested in Ye Qingxi because of her desire to sing at the opening ceremony and wanted her to be their spokesperson now know that the truth has come out and Ye Qingxi was completely innocent. Moreover, her fan base is astonishing, and many of them have taken the initiative to contact Mu Shaowu and Mu Shaoting's agents, hoping that Ye Qingxi can endorse their brands.
Mu Shaoting: ...So she's not only Murong Qing's agent now, but also her nephew's agent?
Why doesn't she just become her own agent? That way she could have an extra job and save money!
Mu Shaoting picked up his phone and called Mu Shaowu.
Mu Shaowu replied without hesitation, "Reject them all."
Ye Qingxi is still too young, so Mu Shaowu wants to maintain his peaceful and normal life. He won't stop Ye Qingxi from going to things like "Look the Daddy," "Summer," or the World Championship opening ceremony.
However, Mu Shaowu felt that brand endorsements, advertising shoots, and even magazine shoots were unnecessary.
Their family doesn't lack that much money, and he doesn't need Ye Qingxi to earn money for the family at such a young age.
Therefore, he hopes that in her daily life, Ye Qingxi can be like other children, carrying her schoolbag to school, putting down her schoolbag to play with her friends, and being an ordinary, happy, and carefree primary school student.
However, after the endorsement ended, a music academy called to offer admissions.
After confirming that Ye Qingxi was not lip-syncing and that she was a student of Professor Kang, various music academies called one after another, expressing that Ye Qingxi was exceptionally talented and that they were willing to make an exception and admit her directly in September of this year.
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu felt that he was still overthinking things.
He only thought that the businesses wouldn't let Ye Qingxi off the hook, but he never expected that these universities wouldn't let him off the hook either!
That's true. He can sing almost as well as Fu Zhan and Meng Man on such a stage now, so his future is bound to be limitless. Recruiting him now will give him more recognition and more honorary alumni.
However, Mu Shaowu still refused.
He reiterated his previous statement: he wanted Ye Qingxi to have an ordinary, normal, and happy childhood.
Humans are social animals. Although Ye Qingxi's talent and skills have already surpassed those of his peers, he is still only six years old. If he were to go to university at this age and be among a group of boys and girls who are already over eighteen, he would only be isolated.
He and his classmates had nothing in common, couldn't play together, and couldn't live together.
In the end, he will definitely be unhappy.
Furthermore, Ye Qingxi already has Elder Kang; can any of these university professors be more capable or authoritative than Elder Kang?
So Mu Shaowu thanked them for their kindness, but apologized and said, "I'm sorry, we don't have that intention at the moment, thank you."
"If you develop an interest in this area in the future, be sure to contact us and consider our school!" the admissions officer instructed.
Mu Shaowu: ...
Mu Shaowu could only politely reply, "Okay, I understand, thank you."
He hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. He just felt that his son was far too sought after.
But while endorsements and university admissions offers can be declined, interviews with CCTV are not.
As the youngest performer at the opening ceremony and the final act, Ye Qingxi, with her good looks and high level of discussion, was spotted by CCTV on the night of the opening ceremony, and an interview with him and Mu Shaowu was scheduled.
Mu Shaowu even changed into a different shirt for the occasion, looking incredibly handsome.
"Dad, you're so handsome!" Ye Qingxi exclaimed.
Mu Shaowu smiled and patted his head, "That's all thanks to you, Daddy is so handsome these days!"
Ye Qingxi smiled and said to him, "You're welcome."
This interview was broadcast live, simultaneously on television and online.
Fortunately, the interview questions were all very simple. Mu Shaowu had already reviewed the outline beforehand and there were no questions about lip-syncing, so he felt relieved and allowed the reporter to begin the interview.
Fans who had been waiting in the live stream room for a long time finally saw the live stream begin.
Fans excitedly flooded the screen with comments: 【Ahhh, Xiao Xi is here! Xiao Xi is so cute! Shao Wu is so handsome too!】
[Mu Shaowu has really been on TV and trending on social media lately; besides athletes, he's the one generating the most discussion!]
【There's nothing we can do; he's Xiaoxi's father [facepalm]】
[Mu Shaowu: I was dragged along by my son before I knew it!]
[Hahaha, this time I really did get to ride on my son's coattails!]
[Who would have thought that our Young Master Mu would one day be riding on someone else's coattails!]
[It's clear that having a good son is really great!]
Once the live broadcast started, the reporter gave her opening remarks and began asking questions according to the outline. Her first question was to Ye Qingxi.
Were you nervous when you went on stage?
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "It's okay. I wasn't nervous before going up, but I got a little excited when I saw the national flag after I got up there."
"Did you hear people praising your singing after you finished singing?"
Ye Qingxi nodded, "My dad, my family, teachers, and senior classmates all praised me, and my friends also praised my singing."
"Your teacher is Professor Kang Fangnian, right? Could you tell us about how you met Professor Kang?"
"My aunt participated in a singing competition, and during the finals, she asked me to sing with her. I agreed, and then Grandpa Kang saw my singing video and thought I sang quite well. He found my aunt, met me, and invited me to learn to sing 'We' from him. As I learned, Grandpa Kang took me on as his apprentice!"
[So that's how it is!] Netizens commented: [Looking at it this way, it's fortunate that Mu Shaoting didn't ask Mu Shaowu for help during the finals, but instead asked Xiao Xi, otherwise Xiao Xi would have missed out on such a good teacher as Teacher Kang.]
[Hello Auntie! Auntie even spoke up for Xiaoxi before, Auntie really loves Xiaoxi!]
I've become a fan of Mu Shaoting now; she's such a wonderful aunt.
[What happened to the previous claim that Xiao Xi was pre-selected? Come and see! Xiao Xi was clearly chosen first, and then the apprentice was taken in!]
[@HeYao, come and see! Oh, I forgot you can't see this, hehe.]
[I understand Mr. Kang; he sings so well, how could he bear to let such a promising talent slip away!]
"Do you think learning from Grandpa Kang has helped you improve a lot?"
“It’s huge,” Ye Qingxi said. “Grandpa Kang said I sang even better than before!”
[How can it not be big?] A netizen commented in the live chat: [They've already accused it of being auto-tuned and lip-synced, isn't this big enough?!]
[Hahaha Xiaoxi: Please, my teacher is Professor Kang!]
I'm so envious of people who study music, sob sob.
The reporter smiled and then turned to ask Mu Shaowu.
"Does Xiaoxi like to sing at home? When did he first show his musical talent?"
“He doesn’t actually like singing much,” Mu Shaowu said truthfully. “The real display of his musical talent was probably during the final of ‘The Voice of China’. That was his first formal performance, and we thought he sang very well.”
"So, do you plan to train him to follow this path in the future?"
Mu Shaowu smiled and said, "Xiao Xi is still young, and I hope he can have more diverse choices in life. So I won't stop him from pursuing music, but I also won't let him only develop in music. His academic performance is very good, and his acting skills in the movie 'Summer' that we filmed together before were also very good. If we only let him develop in music, I think it would be a bit limiting for him. Of course, if he really likes singing more and wants to work in this field in the future, I will support him."
"He actually made movies?" the reporter asked in surprise.
"Yes, it should be released this year or next year, and then everyone will be able to see it on the big screen."
[I know that! It's a work by Director Feng Que, which is why he spoke up for Xiao Xi before!]
[But Xiao Xi's acting is actually pretty good? Looking forward to it!]
Let's be cautious about expecting this! Mu Shaowu is a father after all, so there might be some bias towards him.
[And Mu Shaowu's acting skills... it's not that I don't trust him, I'm just a little unclear about the definition of "good acting skills."]
[That's right, these days it's good enough to manage one thing well. Xiao Xi is only six years old, and her singing is already incredibly talented. If she could act well in movies too, that would be unbelievable!]
[What a genius! I've never seen such a young prodigy in both music and film in all these years!]
That's absolutely right!
"You just said he also has excellent grades?"
"Yes," Mu Shaowu said proudly, "Xiao Xi is basically first in every exam, whether it's a midterm or final exam or a quiz."
"It seems that Ye Qingxi is a well-rounded student who excels in moral character, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor."
Mu Shaowu laughed, "He does indeed have this certificate."
"You're smiling so happily, it seems you're very proud of your child."
Mu Shaowu couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth: "If I weren't proud, that would be too fake. Of course I'm proud. The thing I'm most proud of in my life is having such an outstanding child as Xiaoxi!"
[Tsk tsk tsk, look at Mu Shaowu's worthless smile, eh—]
[That's normal, isn't it? If this were my son, I'd be laughing even harder than he is!]
That's right! Who wouldn't be proud to have a child like that!
[Especially since his academic performance is also good, which is even more remarkable!]
Is this the legendary "other people's child"? I'm so envious!
Li Wanqin watched the interview on TV, saw the smile on Mu Shaowu's face, and heard him say, "The thing I'm most proud of in my life is having such an outstanding child as Xiaoxi," and felt only sorrow.
This is clearly her child.
She should be proud to have such an outstanding child.
But now, she sits in front of the television, watching her son's interviews and seeing others proud of him.
At the end of the video, the reporter asked Ye Qingxi, "Is there anything else you'd like to say about this opening ceremony?"
Ye Qingxi thought for a moment and replied, "I want to thank my teacher."
"My teacher is a very good teacher. He is very serious when teaching me, and he is also very kind to me, taking care of me and protecting me. My senior classmates are also very nice. They gave me a lot of gifts and cheered me on before the opening ceremony!"
"And my dad, grandpa, aunt, uncle, and eldest uncle, they are all very good to me."
“Every time I go to Grandpa Kang’s house to practice singing, my dad will pick me up and drop me off. If he doesn’t have time, my aunt or uncle will take me. My grandpa and uncle are also very kind. They love me very much and teach me many principles.”
"They all put in a lot of effort for my performance at this opening ceremony, and they worked very hard, so I am very grateful to them."
"Without them, I wouldn't have been able to sing so easily and freely during the opening ceremony."
"Everyone praises my singing, but I think I should praise them too. I should applaud them and thank them."
After Ye Qingxi finished speaking, she clapped her hands and gave a light applause.
Netizens were charmed by his action, commenting: 【Cute!】
[Haha, Xiaoxi, you've got so many people to thank!]
[I knew Xiao Xi was the darling of the group! Not only do his seniors and teachers spoil him, but his family does too!]
I already know that my aunt is Mu Shaoting and I've met her. I'm so curious about my grandfather, my younger uncle, and my eldest uncle!
If Mu Shaowu is indeed connected to the Mu Group as rumored, then I think I should have met his grandfather and uncle as well.
[Please elaborate, upstairs!]
[I specifically went to the official website, which ones are the grandfather and the eldest uncle? [Image]]
[It's not on the official website, but my uncle and grandfather both seem to have been featured in financial magazines, though I forget which issue.]
[Ahhh, that makes me even more curious! So, are my uncle and grandfather handsome?!]
[Handsome! Very handsome! Extremely handsome!]
【!! Xiaoxi! You're living such a wonderful life!】
Li Wanqin stared blankly as the interview ended, then went online to find the video and scrolled to the last question.
Ye Qingxi's answer rang in my ears once again.
She wasn't there.
There is no mother.
Even relatives like aunts, uncles, and great-uncles are in there, but not the mother.
Does he not remember her?
Or should we resent her or hate her?
That night, Li Wanqin had a dream.
She dreamed of Ye Qingxi.
I dreamt that Ye Qingxi was calling out "Mom, Mom."
She rushed over, picked him up, and said, "Mommy's here."
Ye Qingxi nestled in his arms and asked, "Mommy, where did you go?"
He said, "I miss you so much, Mom."
After waking up, Li Wanqin couldn't help but cry.
She misses her child.
She was wrong; she shouldn't have abandoned Ye Qingxi at that time.
What child doesn't miss their mother?
Other children have mothers, but her child doesn't. How sad must her child be?
That was her child.
It's her biological child.
He shouldn't be someone else's pride.
He should be her pride.
Li Wanqin wiped away her tears, quickly opened the ticket booking app, and booked a ticket for the next available flight.
She had to see Mu Zheng again.
She could choose not to go back to Ye Qingxi, but she had to let Ye Qingxi know that she, as a mother, existed.
He has a mother!
In a divorce, the parent who does not have custody of the child has the right to visit the child. Moreover, the Mu family is no one to Ye Qingxi; they have no blood relation to him whatsoever, and she is indeed the child's biological mother!
That doesn't make sense!
This is unreasonable!
At the very least, she should be given a chance to talk to Ye Qingxi, meet him, hug him, and let him know that his mother actually loves him.
Instead of now, he knows nothing.
Her son thanked so many people, but not his mother.
Thinking of this, Li Wanqin couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
She called her husband and said there was something going on at home that she needed to go back and take care of. Then, she packed her things quickly and boarded the plane.
When Mu Zheng heard his secretary say, "A Miss named Li Wanqin wants to see you," he found it somewhat amusing.
He knew, of course, that once Ye Qingxi appeared at the opening ceremony, the whole world would see her, and Li Wanqin would naturally see her too.
But he thought Li Wanqin wouldn't come.
At the very least, if she were smart, she wouldn't have come, and shouldn't have come.
But to his surprise, she was much dumber than he thought.
"Let her wait," Mu Zheng said indifferently.
He continued looking at the documents, not in a hurry to see her.
It wasn't until he had almost finished reading all the documents and it was getting dark that Mu Zheng stood up and walked towards the conference room.
Li Wanqin had been sitting in the conference room all afternoon.
She rushed over in a hurry, hoping to see Mu Zheng and Ye Qingxi as soon as possible, but to her surprise, Mu Zheng's secretary said he was busy and asked her to wait in the conference room.
They waited for an entire afternoon.
During this time, no matter how much she urged him, the secretary always said that Mu Zheng was busy.
At first, Li Wanqin was resentful, feeling that Mu Zheng was deliberately ignoring her, but as she watched the sky gradually darken, she finally calmed down.
It's understandable that Mu Zheng is dissatisfied since she broke her promise to him first.
She waited patiently, hoping that her attitude would show Mu Zheng her sincerity and make him agree to let her visit Ye Qingxi from time to time.
Just when she was starting to think that Mu Zheng probably wasn't going to see her at all, the conference room door was pushed open and Mu Zheng walked in.
He hadn't changed much since their first meeting; he remained aloof, noble, and arrogant. He seemed to glance at her, yet it was as if he hadn't even looked at her. He sat down in the main seat of the conference room with an air of nonchalance and grandeur.
Li Wanqin immediately became nervous.
"Mr. Mu, I..."
“Madam Zhou.” Mu Zheng interrupted her, his expression cold and his voice even colder.
He said, "I remember we should never see each other again, shouldn't we?"
