Chapter 874 - Your Husband Is Here
Chapter 874: Your Husband Is Here
Jun Shiyan frowned slightly and turned around to look. He saw many people bustling around not far away, gathering in a circle. The man in the middle, who was obviously a head taller than others and had an outstanding aura, was Huo Ci, his father-in-law.
When Ling Sheng heard the name Huo Ci, her heart skipped a beat. She turned around and saw her father, who was surrounded in the middle of a crowd. No matter when, he was a dazzling existence within a group of people. She could see him with just one look. He was really here!
“Third Master?” Ling Sheng felt that she was a little unable to accept this situation. Was her father crazy? Had he self-destructed on Weibo first and then chased after them? This did not match his usual style at all.
She did not think that she and Xiaoqi were that capable to make him drop whatever he was doing and chase after them from afar.
Was it because of… Auntie Yu?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the biggest possibility. Her father had come for Auntie Yu!
After Huo Ci got off the plane, he went directly to the military base nearby and borrowed a helicopter to fly over here. Otherwise, he would have arrived a few hours later.
There were mountain roads everywhere. It was a typical small, secluded place. After getting off the plane, he got in a car and followed Xiaoqi’s phone-cum-watch GPS to find them.
He had initially thought that they were at home. He had not expected them to run to someone’s wedding venue. She was still quite optimistic, huh. After such a big thing had happened, she was still in the mood to attend a wedding elsewhere!
Huo Ci looked at the people surrounding him and felt a headache. He knew that he was well-known, but how could people living in such a secluded place recognize him immediately too? He smiled and explained, “You’ve got the wrong person. I just look like Huo Ci. I’m a stand-in actor.”
It was better to avoid trouble. It was better not to expose his identity here. If everyone knew about this, they would think he cared a lot about that brat!
If those people on the internet who had overactive imaginations started crafting some story about him chasing after his wife again, he would vomit to death.
“No, you’re Huo Ci.” The man took another look and even tugged at his wife. “Wife, look. Is he Huo Ci? Is he here to find Sheng Sheng?”
The others also surrounded him carefully, looking at him curiously and excitedly. The man in front of them really looked like Huo Ci.
Although they were from a small place, in today’s society, as long as there was internet, they knew everything. Huo Ci was Ling Sheng’s biological father. It was him! If it was not him, who was it? He was here to find his daughter!
Ling Sheng had entered the entertainment circle and become a big celebrity. He must also have helped her to get into dramas, variety shows, and film advertisements. It was indeed different to have a capable father.
Huo Ci had not expected the news to spread so quickly. It would not be surprising if the netizens, who had a wider network of information channels, knew about this. However, how did someone from a relatively backward place like this know about him?
So this matter had already been made public? Did he really have that much influence in China?
When Ling Sheng ran over, she smiled, “Father, why are you here?”
The sky was dark so when Huo Ci shot her a look, she did not see it. The brat’s words had exposed his identity, and his lie had also been exposed. But he did not feel awkward at all. A gentle smile remained on his face as he smiled. “Didn’t I tell you I was coming? I came to visit your foster mother and thank her properly. Moreover, I can take the opportunity to thank these people from your hometown for taking care of you.”
Every time Ling Sheng saw him smile in this manner at her, she would feel a chill run down her spine, especially when he smiled so gently. It gave her the illusion that he wanted to kill her. She nodded hurriedly and greeted him with a smile. “Ah, I know.”
What was this nonsense? When had he said that? He came over without even letting her know, all right!
“I told you it was Huo Ci, Sheng Sheng’s biological father.” The man took another look at him and confirmed it. Then, he said rather happily, “Dinner will start soon. You came just in time.”
“That’s right. We’re all a family. Let Sheng Sheng take you to see her mother after dinner,” someone echoed.
“Huo Ci, can you give me an autograph later? My daughter likes you a lot. I like watching your dramas too.”
“It’s really Huo Ci. Oh my god, thanks to Sheng Sheng, I’ve finally seen him in person. Let me take a look. Let me take a look.”
“Let’s go, let’s go. He came all the way here. Let him have some hot water first. We don’t have anything else here but we can make sure that he eats and drinks well.”
“Make way, make way.” The chef in charge of the wedding banquet brought out a bowl of piping hot egg soup and passed it to Huo Ci. “Drink this to warm your body. No one in this vicinity has said anything negative about this soup I made. Try it.”
Ling Sheng knew the degree of her father’s influence. She dared to ask the people in China, who had not watched the television dramas and movies he had starred in? His reputation and fame were there. Upon seeing that she had been pushed outside, she shrugged helplessly at Jun Shiyan.
The last time he had filmed a variety show, the villagers had come every day to give him specialties and food from their homes. They had asked for group photos and autographs. He was indeed the nation’s well-known Movie King.
Actually, there were not many people in the town who were that evil. No one had bullied them widow and orphan (referring to Ling Sheng and her foster mother). As the saying goes, there were many disputes in front of widows. Although there was plenty of rumors and gossip, but there was no actual harm.
However, rumors were scary. The perpetrators often did not think that the rumors were hurtful, nor did they realize what they had done wrong. They thought that they had only said a few words or verbally abused them with a few words. Did the latter not have the slightest bit of ability to withstand it?
However, those kinds of rumors were the most hurtful. They were like ice-cold knives stabbing into the hearts of the victims. Over the years, their hearts had become riddled with holes.
During an avalanche, not a single snowflake was innocent. All the people who inflicted harm were culprits. Actually, this was not unreasonable.
Thankfully, the original owner’s foster mother was a kind person who believed in Buddha. She had a good attitude and a kind heart. She treated herself and others the same.
She had never cared much about this kind of thing. The original owner had more or less been affected as well. Her mental state had only started to change greatly because of Xiaoqi’s birth, postpartum depression, and with the addition of some rumors. That was why it had become a little twisted.
When Jun Shiyan saw Huo Ci holding a big bowl and thanking someone before drinking that egg soup, he was rather impressed.
The Movie King was indeed the Movie King. No matter when or where, he would never forget his professionalism as an outstanding actor. His achievements today were definitely related to his hard work and professionalism.
Nangong Lengyu was currently talking to Grandma Lin in the house, asking her about every stage of Ling Sheng’s childhood. She was very happy and glad that she had come with her.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and called out to her. “Sheng Sheng’s mother, your husband is here.”
