As soon as Huo Jincheng spoke, Lu Xingzhi wanted to close the door.
"If you have nothing to say, I’m going to rest."
"There’s something." With a slight smirk, Huo Jincheng replied.
"Eating. It’s already noon. How about having lunch before resting?" Huo Jincheng asked with a smile.
Even though she knew he was doing it on purpose, Lu Xingzhi couldn’t say anything.
She could only walk out grumpily, leaving Huo Jincheng behind, and even refused to let him serve her food during the meal.
Huo Jincheng enjoyed her little tantrum, knowing her well enough to understand that Lu Xingzhi was a rather indifferent girl.
She didn’t care about things, nor did she care about people. If she threw a small tantrum at someone, it could only prove that she relied on and cared about that person.
"I tore your clothes; I’ll buy you another one, so don’t be mad." Huo Jincheng picked a piece of fish, removed the bones, and placed it in Lu Xingzhi’s bowl.
Lu Xingzhi looked at him incredulously, seemingly unable to believe how shameless he could be.
"What’s wrong?" Huo Jincheng’s expression remained calm, his demeanor elegant and composed, as if he wasn’t the one who had just said something so cheeky.
She might as well finish her meal!
After the meal, Huo Jincheng received a call from his grandpa.
"Jin Chen, I saw the news about Little Zhi Liao. What are you doing?"
"Grandpa, Zhi Zhi was just helping Little Yi with his accompaniment. And she..."
Huo Jincheng was interrupted by Huo Qiyuan before he could finish.
"You need to tell people you’re Little Zhi Liao’s fiancé! And you let her get involved in a CP with Little Yi. What kind of fiancé are you?" Huo Qiyuan was angry and continued, "How can you be so irresponsible?"
"You even know about CPs!"
"Don’t think that just because I’m old, I don’t understand anything. I’m quite trendy, and I’ve had a Weibo account for a long time. Those people, what are they thinking? Our Little Zhi Liao is like a little fairy, and they accuse her of having plastic surgery and riding on Little Yi’s fame. You should retort at them! I’ve been scolding them all morning myself."
Huo Jincheng initially wanted to say that he’s not one to engage in such online arguments. But upon hearing Huo Qiyuan’s last comment, he promptly held back his words and replied, "You did the right thing! But focus on your health. There’s no need to pay attention to such baseless rumors."
Feeling increasingly uncomfortable, Huo Qiyuan said, "No, I need to talk to those old guys about this. They can’t just say whatever they want because they don’t know you. From now on, we should have a real-name comment system so people will be responsible for what they say. They’re just jealous of our Zhi Zhi."
"When Jin Yan was attacked online, I didn’t see you getting this angry." At first, Huo Jincheng thought that Huo Qiyuan was upset because he didn’t want Lu Xingzhi to perform on stage.
Now he realized it was for an entirely different reason.
"Can Jin Yan be compared to Little Zhi Liao? Jin Yan is a grown man; he should have a stronger mental capacity. Besides, if he chose this career and can’t even handle that much, can he still be considered a man? Little Zhi Liao is a young girl; being scolded like that, she’d cry."
Huo Qiyuan always felt it was a pity that there wasn’t a girl in their family.
"Grandpa, I’ll take care of it. You also shouldn’t engage in online arguments; don’t get upset and affect your health." Huo Jincheng was quite helpless; he didn’t expect his grandpa to be so concerned about these matters.
