“It’s good to see you back.” Huo Xun took Huo Yunshen’s hand and asked with an earnest look in his eyes, “Tell Grandpa, what do you think about getting along with Miss Xue?”
His grandfather asked how he felt about getting along with Xue Yating, but the truth was, he had not gone to see Xue Yating at all, let alone try to get along with her.
“Grandpa, actually I don’t…”
Before Huo Yunshen could even tell his grandfather that he didn’t even fancy Xue Yating, the old man had already guessed his inner thoughts and interrupted him in time. “Oh Yunshen, Grandpa is afraid that he doesn’t have much time left…” The old man coughed again. “If Grandpa is to leave this world, the one Grandpa will be worrying about the most is you!”
“Grandpa, I believe you will be able to have a long life and live to be over a hundred years old. Please don’t say such ominous words.”
Huo Yunshen was being sincerely filial towards Huo Xun. He was very worried about his grandfather’s health and hoped that the elderly man could live for a long time.
In order to make his act more realistic and show that he really “didn’t have much time left,” the old man immediately took out a handkerchief from under his pillow and coughed violently into it.
After coughing, he folded out the handkerchief. There was blood on it.
Huo Yunshen saw blood on his handkerchief and panicked. “Oh no, Grandpa! I’ll get them to send you to the hospital right away!”
“No… Grandpa doesn’t want to go to the hospital… Even if Grandpa does go to the hospital, they still cannot treat Grandpa’s chronic illness.”
Huo Xun held onto Huo Yunshen’s arm and stopped him from calling the servants. He let out a few more coughs before continuing. “Please listen to Grandpa. Grandpa only has one wish, and that is to see you get married soon. Tell Grandpa truthfully…what do you think of that girl?”
Veterans were always more skillful and wiser, even in acting. How could Huo Yunshen compare to the former king of the show industry?
When Huo Xun was young, he was also a handsome charming prince!
Huo Yunshen really thought that his grandfather was very sick. He could not bear to say anything that would upset him now, so he decided to say something to comfort him temporarily. “She’s all right. Miss Xue is a reasonable woman and very talented, too. She seems to be a good person.”
“Oh, that’s good then.”
Huo Xun had finally managed to bait his grandson to speak out. Since Huo Yunshen had a good impression of Xue Yating, then this marriage was possible.
He had not pretended to be sick for nothing!
Huo Xun felt better inside. He slowly took out two tickets. “Since you think Miss Xue is a good person, then you must go for her concert. Just do it for Grandpa…”
“…”
Sigh. Grandpa is so sick, and yet he is still thinking about my future. How worrying.
In order to not disappoint the elderly man, Huo Yunshen did not refuse his offer and took the tickets.
Well, with these two tickets, he could invite Jing Xi along too.
In fact, the old man’s illness was purely a hoax so he could persuade his precious grandson to go on the date. He had already planned it with Huo Zhen and his wife. In the evening, Chen Yunlu would personally go track and spy on him. They must make this marriage happen soon!
…
In the afternoon, the Peijing Children’s Talent Competition was being held in Hall No. 1 of the art center.
Ying Bao had become a cool little handsome boy. Nobody could tell that she was a girl, nor that she was Cherry Baby.
Xu Xiyan and Fang Xiaocheng sent Ying Bao backstage and received a number from the organizer. Ying Bao had gotten number 36 and she would appear during the second half of the show.
All the contestants gathered in the backstage lounge. Xu Xiyan and Fang Xiaocheng returned to the audience and waited for the performance to start.
At two o’clock, the host appeared, announcing that the contest had officially begun.
The contest was being simultaneously broadcasted live on TV and on the internet.
Most of the contestants were between 3 and 7 years old, and each child had their own forte. Some of them sang, some danced, and some recited poetry. The children were very talented.
After seeing the performances of the first twenty children, Fang Xiaocheng became a little nervous. She tugged on Xu Xiyan’s shirt and said, “Children nowadays are so talented! They’re all very strong! The pressure must be too great for Cherry! What if she is nervous?”
