Xiaoying's eyes widened in shock as she nodded.
Indeed, it made sense. She let out a silly laugh.
Wen Meiling continued to close her eyes, looking completely at ease as she enjoyed herself.
Huo Cheng directly accepted an interview from a media outlet.
Since this incident was a hot topic, it was natural for Huo Cheng to be contacted for an interview. It was the first time he had ever done so, and the people from this media outlet were extremely excited.
If they could break some exclusive news, they were guaranteed a large amount of traffic.
"May I ask why Mr. Huo agreed to this interview? I heard that you've always refused interviews in the past. What's the reason for this change?" the host asked excitedly.
Huo Cheng didn't look as cold as usual. Instead, a faint smile played on his lips, adding to his charm.
"I have my own reasons," he replied, maintaining his usual style.
The host smiled knowingly and interacted with the audience. "Due to some special reasons, Mr. Huo has agreed to our interview. I'd like to ask if Mr. Huo is aware that many people on the internet have complimented you on your good looks?"
The host stared at him excitedly, then bit her hand and said to the audience with great excitement, "He's really handsome up close like this."
Huo Cheng gave a gentle smile. "Everyone has different aesthetics. Thank you all for saying I'm handsome," he said seriously.
"Do you believe in love at first sight or love that grows over time?"
"Love that grows over time."
After Huo Cheng answered, the host's eyes crinkled into a smile.
The host continued with a smile. "The latest topic is about childhood sweethearts. What do you think of your relationship with the actress Wen Meiling?"
Huo Cheng's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes turned cold.
"Actually, it's not that kind of relationship. We just know each other. The term 'childhood sweethearts' is an exaggeration," he said.
This answer was unexpected for the host, who was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Well, do you still often meet with Wen Meiling, like the time when you were splashed with dirty water?" the host continued, trying to steer the conversation in the desired direction.
"That wasn't a meeting. I was there for business, and she was the classmate of another boss," Huo Cheng directly denied it.
"Do you feel happy when you meet someone you've known for a long time?"
"It depends on the person."
After hearing this answer, the host finally let out a sigh of relief.
She crossed out all the remaining questions she had prepared and only had one left.
"May I ask what kind of girl you like?" the host asked seriously, looking into his eyes.
Huo Cheng seemed to be deep in thought for a long time. All the staff around were eagerly awaiting his answer.
As long as there was the slightest similarity, the media would try to link this characteristic with Wen Meiling's.
To everyone's surprise, Huo Cheng suddenly took out his left hand.
On his slender finger was a shiny ring.
Everyone around held their breath. This development was completely unexpected.
"I love my wife. The term 'childhood sweethearts' doesn't suit me. My wife would get jealous," he said with a smile.
"So Mr. Huo is already married?" the host said belatedly.
Huo Cheng nodded and said casually, "This is the reason I agreed to this interview. It's for my wife."
...
This time, they really didn't know how to edit the interview. So they simply released the original footage.
After many people watched it, their only impression was that he was incredibly handsome in person!
His wife was so lucky!
The original central topic was quickly forgotten.
Wen Meiling was so angry after watching this interview that she gritted her teeth.
"I didn't expect him to... he actually..." Her voice was filled with disbelief.
All the information about Gu Sisi on the internet had been deleted. She thought Huo Cheng was deliberately hiding their relationship.
But seeing him showing off his ring, it didn't seem to be the case.
"Miss, this was unexpected," Xiaoying comforted her.
"Slap!" Xiaoying was slapped to the ground.
Wen Meiling got up and stepped on her fingers hard. "It's all your fault, you jinxed me! Get out! I don't want to see you for a few days."
With a "bang," Wen Meiling stormed out in a rage.
When she walked out, she noticed that the crew members didn't react to her. Instead, they were whispering to each other.
She vaguely heard the name "Gu Sisi."
"What are you guys talking about?" she asked with a smile, but her eyes were so cold that the others took a few steps back.
"What are you going to do?" a crew member stammered.
Wen Meiling leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "I'm warning you. You'd better stop whispering, or I'll beat you every time I see you."
This was the first time she had threatened someone here. Her family had always told her to keep a low profile, and she had indeed done so. But now, she had no choice. Some people could only be dealt with by threats.
The man's face turned from red to pale, and he finally scurried away.
"Humph!" Wen Meiling sneered.
When she walked outside, she immediately made a phone call.
"When are you going to take action? I can't wait any longer," Wen Meiling said in a low voice.
"Be patient," the voice on the other end said before hanging up.
Wen Meiling stared at the phone blankly. A wave of anger welled up from the bottom of her heart.
She was having a really bad day.
No one paid attention to her, and she had been abandoned by the netizens who she thought understood the internet well.
...
In the end, Gu Sisi didn't quit her job.
The screenplay boss she had been looking for for a long time suddenly said that the signature on her resignation form didn't count and directly took it back.
She was about to leave directly, but somehow this news reached Sister Juan's ears.
Sister Juan called her and they chatted for a while. Gu Sisi began to hesitate.
If she left, would Sister Juan no longer be able to take her under her wing?
It would definitely take her longer to make progress. She closed her eyes and remembered the scene of her child being taken away that day.
A sharp pain shot through her heart. That feeling of helplessness was really unbearable.
If there was any chance to get her baby back earlier, she was willing to endure anything.
Huo Zhen, who had originally planned not to pressure Gu Sisi so soon, was suddenly interrupted when Gu Sisi barged into his office.
"Are you the boss here?" she asked.
Huo Zhen looked around at the medium - sized office and spread his hands, clearly indicating that he wasn't.
Gu Sisi wasn't really concerned about this question.
She continued, "I want to make a deal with you, but you have to return my child to me."
Gu Sisi had a sudden inspiration and thought that this might be a breakthrough.
During this period, the Huo family had been eerily quiet.
Even when they went to the Huo family, they didn't run into any of Huo Cheng's family members. She felt that something was wrong, but she didn't want to think about it now.
All she wanted was to get her child back as soon as possible.
"Make a deal? What do you have that I need?"
Huo Zhen's face remained expressionless, but Gu Sisi subconsciously felt that this might be a sarcastic remark.
"My future."
