Chapter 106: The Blessing In His Heart
“Get away from your old man!” Huo Ci bellowed angrily. Then, he gave the coffee table a vicious glare before he got up to leave.
Upon seeing the violent and murderous vibe coming from her biological father, Ling Sheng’s heart raced. What should she do now that Best Actor Huo was in such a bad mood? She was waiting to speak online, but it was urgent.
D*mn.
She seemed to have asked a question she should not have asked.
From the looks of it, the sports car was indeed hiding secrets.
Had it really been gifted to him by a woman he’d liked?
Was her father that pa.s.sionate?
If he could not forget her even after twenty-odd years, she must have been a blessing in his heart.

The moment Huo Ci left, Ling Sheng was sent 800 kilometers away to a poor mountain ditch, where the 18-lined web variety show would be filmed.
When Mei Xuelin threw the script in front of her, she was so angry that she wanted to eat someone alive. “How did you offend Huo Ci? Why did he treat you this way?”
Ling Sheng thought for a while. She seemed to have said something wrong. She thought her words had angered her father as she rolled down the stage. “I think this program is not that bad.”
“What’s good about it? Did you know that I rejected a popular variety show for this?” Mei Xuelin was angry.
This was infuriating.
She had accepted a popular variety show last week, and Director Qian had agreed to hire Ling Sheng because of her.
This Friday’s recording would be aired next Friday, so she would definitely have gained some attention then.
However, the celebrity had suddenly told her that he had some ties with a small variety show director and he had pleaded for an artist named Ling Sheng to film a new variety show.
She could not afford to offend the Big Boss! It would have been useless even if she’d quarreled with him. She was determined to make Ling Sheng rush to that variety show.
One of them was a popular variety show with a national viewership rating of more than 2. The director was Qian Yi, a Chinese variety show director for whom the sky was the limit.
The other show was directed by the a.s.sistant director who had just left the variety team of a certain television station. He would be directing his first variety show, which would be broadcast online!
One of them was a popular celebrity-star variety show with high production costs.
The other one was a low-budget production that would be shot on a mountain ditch with a few A-list celebrities that had been found on the internet.
When it was broadcast later, there would be no commotion at all. It was a waste of time.
She definitely had good reason to suspect that Big Boss Huo, who was a petty man, was trying to seek revenge. She gave Ling Sheng a complicated look and said, “Seriously, is it because I mentioned your relationship last time? The two of you must be living together!”
Ling Sheng nearly puked blood. What kind of nonsense was she spouting? “Sister Mei, I really don’t have the kind of relationship you think I have with him. It would be impossible for me to date him in this lifetime. I’m a woman Huo Ci will never get!”
Mei Xuelin gave her a sideways look and a.s.sessed her character. “Forget it, I won’t ask you again. He’s determined to make you go to the countryside to film a variety show. Why don’t you go plead with him and act coquettishly? It’s best if a woman uses this tactic. It’ll be better if you reconcile in private!”
Ling Sheng felt like she was going crazy. She let out a deep sigh before putting her palms together to plead for mercy. “Sister Mei, please let it go. I think this variety show is not bad. What if it becomes popular? Don’t you agree?”
Mei Xuelin let out a cold snort. “If this variety show becomes popular, I’ll twist my head off and let you use it as a soccer ball. There’s no script or main theme. What kind of show is called ‘Everyone’s Magical Power Emergence’? What makes you think this will be popular when it sounds so stupid?”
“What’s the point of having a brain like yours?” Ling Sheng smiled pleasingly. “You should stay and think of ways to make me popular!”
Upon seeing the pleasing expression on her face, Mei Xuelin could not help but want to curse again. What a nice lady. She must have been downright unlucky to meet a man who did things based on what he liked.
