Chapter 316: Headlines
Lu Cunshi said, “Exactly. The entertainment circle is no place for girls. Learn from your auntie and have more fun in your free time. That’s what girls should do.”
Huo Ci clenched his fists in anger. What did this have to do with him? How many times had he said that it was the brat’s fault for wanting to enter the entertainment circle?
Su Yan smiled helplessly. Uncles, do you think painting and music are just fun? Do you know how much blood and sweat I’ve shed by practicing hard?
Due to Ling Sheng and Xiaoqi’s repeated persuasion, the elders finally stopped in their tracks and watched them leave reluctantly.
Everyone had complained unanimously about why they couldn’t stay for two more days!
Ling Sheng sensed that after they left the Su Family, her father started staring at the jade thumb ring on Xiaoqi’s hand with a burning gaze. When he saw Xiaoqi running, he rushed over to look at him, as though he was afraid that he would fall.
According to her meticulous a.n.a.lysis, he was definitely not afraid of Xiaoqi falling. He should be afraid of the jade ring getting hit.
Huo Ci was drooling over the jade ring when Xiaoqi finally noticed it in the car. He leaned against the car seat and looked at him with big eyes. “Grandpa, do you like this?”
Huo Ci lied. “No.”
Xiaoqi nodded and handed it over with a smile. “Grandpa, I’ll lend it to you. You can play with it for two days.”
Huo Ci moved quickly and took it immediately. Although he was afraid that Xiaoqi would regret it, he remained stubborn. “I already said I don’t like it.”
“Grandpa, it looks really nice on you.” Xiaoqi flattered him in a crisp voice.
Huo Ci put it on his thumb and looked around. His lips curled up in satisfaction before he became serious again. “Since you’re so filial, I’ll play with it for two days.”
Ling Sheng wanted to laugh hysterically. He obviously liked it a lot, but he was stubborn. If Xiaoqi had not given it to him, he would have burst into tears!
Su Xiyin whispered to her that her father liked this jade ring and had asked the Old Master for it a few times. Even though the Su Family had so many children and grandchildren, the Old Master doted on her father the most and gave him whatever he wanted.
Back when he had wanted to enter the entertainment circle, he had nearly been beaten to death by his grandpa. The father-son duo had been on the verge of becoming enemies, to the point of disowning each other.
In the end, it was only when he had spoken that Grandpa had relented and allowed him to enter the entertainment circle. However, he would scold her father every few days to vent his anger.
Nevertheless, there was no point in begging or stealing this ring. He just would not give it to him. Besides, he was not the only one drooling over this ring. The Old Master would not give his family any of the things they wanted.
Upon hearing this, Ling Sheng felt deeply that it was a great honor that her great-grandfather had given the jade ring to Xiaoqi!
That jade ring was rumored to be a gift from Emperor Wu of Han to the Flying General. It was worth a lot of money and was thus priceless.
Before she went to bed at night, Ling Sheng suddenly realized that her father had become the hottest topic. Her heart suffered a huge shock. The first thing she thought was that this had something to do with her!
When she opened Weibo, she realized that it was a false alarm. Her father had not posted a selfie in 10,000 years. Suddenly, he had posted a selfie, so it had become the hottest topic. At 10:30 pm, his post had made the headlines.
Huo Ci: Goodnight (selfie picture with a closeup of his thumb, showcasing the huge and eye-catching jade ring)
[Not At All Stupid: Ahhh, handsome Huo, your hand looks really nice.]
Huo Ci: Since I was young, I was told that I had the hands of a pianist.
[I Think I’m Outdated: Brother, I’m begging you to stop acting. Be good. Take off the ring quickly. We can’t afford to pay for it if you break it. KneelingAndCrying.JPG.]
[Money-Grubbing Beauty: Hurry up and persuade him. Oh no, where’s the representative? Is the ring real?]
