Priceless Baby's Super Daddy Chapter 488 - Trying To Stir Things Up Again

“I asked around, but I wasn’t able to find out anything. Whoever she is, I’m sure she must be a truly extraordinary woman,” Huo Sanyan replied with a cheery smile.

She already knew the girl’s mother was Jing Xi. But Jing Xi had asked her not to tell her family for now, so she had to pretend not to know anything.

“Yes, of course, that goes without saying.”

Chen Yunlu thought for a moment. Suddenly, an idea occurred to her. “Oh, could it be Tang s.h.i.+xue? Look at the child, she’s so talented, I’m sure she’s the product of s.h.i.+xue and your little brother.”

“What? No way!”

Huo Sanyan inwardly rolled her eyes at her mother’s overactive imagination. Why on earth did she think it was Tang s.h.i.+xue, of all people?

But the more Chen Yunlu thought about it, the more convinced she became. “I think it’s probably her. If I hadn’t objected to their relations.h.i.+p back then, they would have probably gotten together by now. Or maybe they’ve been dating in secret, all this while? Can you ask around and see if you can find out what Tang s.h.i.+xue has been up to lately?”

“Mom, I don’t have to. I know who Tang s.h.i.+xue is, she’s a citizen of M country now, and she’s doing really well in the music industry. She’s a super famous singer in Europe and America. I’ve heard from a reliable source that there’s good chance she’ll be invited to our country to perform during the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games. But that isn’t important—I can guarantee that there is nothing romantic between her and li’l bro. The child isn’t hers, it just isn’t possible.”

Huo Sanyan had seen her mother’s eyes light up when talking about Tang s.h.i.+xue, and knew that she was trying to stir things up again.

Tang s.h.i.+xue was old news. There was absolutely no connection between her and Huo Yunshen now, geez!

Huo Sanyan knew who Tang s.h.i.+xue was. When Huo Yunshen had been living in M country, he’d had a very good friend: Tang s.h.i.+guang.

Tang s.h.i.+guang’s sister was Tang s.h.i.+xue.

Tang s.h.i.+xue had been the only woman who could approach Huo Yunshen back when he was living abroad.

Chen Yunlu refused to believe her daughter. She continued to babble on. “The Olympics is just around the corner, right?”

“That’s right.”

Chen Yunlu had grown excited when she heard that Tang s.h.i.+xue was a famous singer. Her son loved music, too, which meant that he had something in common with Tang s.h.i.+xue. Now that she already had a grandchild, all she had to do was play cupid and get Tang s.h.i.+xue and her son together…

Oh yes, what a fantastic idea!

…

The semifinal for the talent show was over. Ying Bao had successfully advanced to the final stage, and now it was time for Xu Xiyan and Huo Yunshen to take her home.

Ying Bao received a toy bear from her Daddy, and was overjoyed. She hugged the toy bear during the entire journey home, refusing to let go. She was determined to sleep with the bear that night.

On the way back, Xu Xiyan received a call from Qi Liya’s a.s.sistant, Xiao Ke. Qi Liya was now awake.

Xu Xiyan did not have a shoot that afternoon. After lunch, she bought a bouquet of flowers and went to the hospital to visit Qi Liya.

Xu Xiyan held her flowers in one hand as she raised her free hand to knock on the door. To her surprise, the door swung open at her touch: Huang Guoqiang, their director, was already in the room, trying to spoon-feed Qi Liya her porridge. Qi Liya, on the other hand, was trying to tell him she could do it herself.

Xu Xiyan was struck by the scene in front of her. She had always a.s.sumed Director Huang to be a tough, stoic man, but here he was, all tender and considerate!

She did not enter the room right away. Instead, she stuck her head through the gap and asked cheerfully, “Ms. Qi, is this a bad time for you?”

As soon as Qi Liya heard the voice, she knew Jing Xi had come.

“Ahem…”

Huang Guoqiang jumped up from his seat beside the bed, set the porridge bowl down, and cleared his throat a few times.

Qi Liya looked gratefully at Jing Xi. She did not know how to tell Director Huang the spoon-feeding was entirely unnecessary without hurting his feelings. Luckily for her, Jing Xi had appeared just in time to save her from the awkward situation.

She greeted Jing Xi warmly. “Jing Xi, is that you? Come on in!”

Xu Xiyan entered the room, a smile on her face and her arms full of flowers. She greeted Huang Guoqiang politely: “Oh, I wasn’t expecting to see you here, Director Huang! I guess you aren’t busy with filming today.”
