After Bai Lingyun gradually faded away from the film industry over the past few years, his exposure significantly decreased.
The groundless rumors no longer caused any sensation and were only spread within a small scope.
Mu Xing decided to search for news about him when she was recently dragged into the headlines and found a relatively new scandal.
Gu Annan snatched her phone and stared at the surreptitiously taken photo.
"However, I’ve checked things out, and the illegitimate child story isn’t very credible." Mu Xing saw that his expression was off. She didn’t know what had happened but decided to share her findings first, "Over these years, such minor gossip has surfaced several times. I’ve carefully compared the photos, and in the rumors that he has illegitimate children, four different children were photographed with him. One of them is confirmed to be his nephew, so there’s a high chance the media was mistaken."
Gu Annan’s expression still showed no signs of improvement.
After a long while, he was still unable to calm down.
Many things came to his mind; he remembered the little girl’s English-only phone system and how she said she didn’t know many Chinese characters.
He remembered the restaurant where he first saw the little girl, which was the place where Lu Wanwan and Xu Yuan went to eat together.
Especially, he thought of those two little faces, expressing more or less familiar shadows, which nearly brought a certain answer to the tip of his tongue.
"Mr. Gu," Mu Xing was already nervous, and that rumor made her feel like she had botched the situation.
"Find those two children I mentioned, but make sure they are not frightened."
Mu Xing looked at Mr. Gu in surprise. His tone was one she had never heard before, despite his efforts to maintain calm.
It contained anger, but more was an indescribable excitement, even to the point of being uncontrollable.
She swore, she had never seen Mr. Gu , nor could she have imagined it.
Lu Wanwan and Xu Yuan were still in parking lot C, but it wasn’t long before Shao Zhixing appeared briskly.
"Were you anxious?" Holding car keys, he strode forward and laughed upon seeing Xu Yuan, "Let’s go."
Xu Yuan was somewhat out of sorts today, "Go where?"
Shao Zhixing grabbed her and led her toward the car, saying, "Wanwan, I’ve taken her. Rest assured!"
Lu Wanwan couldn’t help but give a wry smile as she quickly saw him drive the sports car out and speed away with Xu Yuan toward the outside of the hotel.
Shao Zhixing had really made a big mess, rushing off like that.
But having someone to recklessly rush to your side is probably a genuinely happy thing.
Lu Wanwan was pondering how she should return when she suddenly received a call from Meng Qin.
She guessed that Shao Zhixing had already destroyed the entire wedding banquet. Meng Qin offered to drive her home. Initially, she wanted to refuse but remembered the hotel was by the seaside in the suburbs, where there were no cars around.
After hanging up the phone, she stood in a shady spot in the parking lot and opened her phone’s photo gallery.
She flipped through photos of her two treasures from when they were little until now, watching them grow from tiny tots to what they are today.
She unconsciously curved her lips; although these years were hard, they were ultimately worth it.
Watching them grow was the happiest thing in her life now.
When she sensed someone approaching, she hurriedly put down her phone, and her expression changed.
"Mr. Gu, is there something you need?" At the same time, Lu Wanwan secretly pressed the exit button on her phone, exited the gallery, and locked the screen.
She lifted her eyes, "Shao Zhixing has already left. If you are looking for him..."
