Chapter 2155
This Body Has Nothing to Do with My Father
Because Lou Xiao'e had some business dealings in the entertainment industry, He Xinghua knew a little about the shady dealings within it.
"Huh?...Brother, tell me about it." He An's speech returned to normal, but the urgency in his words made it impossible for He Xinghua to refuse.
"Like this Hu Tiehua, isn't his acting quite good?"
But his personal life is quite chaotic, and I heard he also likes to gamble..." He Xinghua spoke candidly, talking about the unknown side of the main characters in the TV series.
"ah?
Why is it like this everywhere?
I have several classmates who really like Adam Cheng and Angie Chiu.
"Under the bed, there are their posters hidden everywhere." He An's face was full of dejection. What He Xinghua had just said had completely shattered her impression of her idol.
According to He Xinghua, despite the fact that the main actors on TV have a good reputation outside, they are not bad-looking.
But in reality, the man is a gigolo, and the woman isn't exactly respectable either.
Each has its own gossip and scandals.
The key point is that when He Xinghua talks about these things, he is pursuing reality and logic.
In other words, the stories he told were actually real events.
His tone of voice conveyed a sense of condescension from his social class towards those in lower social strata.
In later generations, entertainment companies all had their own risk control departments.
They collect and control opinions about the shady dealings within the circle.
At least in the films and television dramas that I invest in, do the main characters have any scandals that cannot be concealed?
This is the main focus of the risk control department.
You can't say that your own company has invested real money.
Suddenly, the lead actor gets embroiled in a scandal, and the entire investment goes bust.
That's something most film and television companies can't accept.
Although Lou Xiao'e's film and television company was not as professional as it would be in later years, it still paid close attention to these aspects.
After He Xinghua had managed things for a while, he basically lost all goodwill towards the various celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Of course, this doesn't stop him from watching martial arts movies.
After all, celebrities are celebrities, and TV dramas are TV dramas.
What boy hasn't dreamed of being a martial arts hero?
If he hadn't always known about He An's dream of becoming a star.
He would never bring up such discouraging things at a time like this.
After putting her youngest son to sleep, Guo Shumiao joined the siblings in their conversation.
He Xinghua glanced at the wall clock, stood up and said, "Auntie, An'an, it's getting late, I'm going home now."
I'll come over tomorrow and take An'an out for a walk.
"Thank you, brother!" He An's eyes curved into crescent moons with a smile, his words overflowing with sweetness.
She'll naturally be sleeping at Guo Shumiao's house tonight.
After He Xinghua left, Guo Shumiao took his place, lifted her eldest son to the right, and instead hugged He An.
She whispered to He An, "This older brother is good to you, isn't he?"
He An nodded subconsciously, but did not say anything.
The key issue is that she didn't know what to say.
Seeing reality clearly and accepting reality are two different things.
When He An first met He Xinghua, he must have been resisting him.
But after spending time together, I found that this older brother was indeed very good to her.
He's willing to spend money on her and take her out to have fun.
Furthermore, he speaks and acts like a little adult, and is very considerate of others.
But even if you say she has completely accepted He Xinghua, she still feels there is a distance between them.
Or perhaps it's her inherent pride and arrogance.
"An'an, some things exist even if you don't accept them."
When my aunt first arrived in Hong Kong, she was also unwilling to accept it. It's fair to say that at that time, all my moral compass was shattered.
Your father, in my heart, was such a perfect person.
But I never expected that he had this other side.
···
But if you put yourself in my shoes, what would happen if you and I switched places with your father?
At that time, your Aunt Yushui was still young. He stayed in Beijing and was able to support his family and take care of his younger sister.
He couldn't predict what would happen if he went out recklessly.
To make that decision, your dad must have had a lot of resolve back then.
"..." Guo Shumiao was referring to He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e's past.
As soon as He An learned that her father had another wife in Hong Kong, Guo Shumiao, as the middleman, had told her this countless times.
The version mentioned is nothing more than a rehash of old ideas, with nothing new to offer.
However, when it came to why He Yuzhu didn't come to Hong Kong Island with her, Guo Shumiao guessed a little.
It could only be because He Yushui was still young at the time.
On one side is the unknown Hong Kong Island, and on the other is the familiar old city of Beijing. There is a house passed down from the Qing Dynasty to the siblings, and a job at a steel rolling mill.
Most people wouldn't take that risk.
This coincided with He Yuzhu's thoughts at the time.
If it weren't for the rain, He Yuzhu would most likely have come out with Tan Yali and her daughter.
Protecting is not an easy thing.
Sacrifice is inevitable.
"Is my dad really that great?" He An was a little incredulous.
"Hehe... Your dad is greater than you think."
My aunt can attest to this.
Back then, my aunt moved from Tianjin to Beijing, and my second brother joined the army.
"He led me to your father and asked him to help take care of me and my aunt and uncle..." Guo Shumiao used her own past experiences as examples to describe He Yuzhu's unwavering commitment to his word to He An.
"...Even so, he's still a bad father and a bad husband." He An wrinkled his nose at Guo Shumiao with a haughty expression.
Her emotions were not wrong, at least from Liu Ting's daughter's perspective, they were completely correct.
Forgiveness is one thing, accepting reality is another.
What your aunt wants to tell you is that you have to try to accept the fact that Xinghua is your brother.
I know this child; he wouldn't think of harming you.
Why does he leave behind so much work every Saturday to come and be with you?
"It's because he treats you like a younger sister." That's the main point Guo Shumiao was making today.
"He's not very old, is he?"
Why are you so busy?
Even if He An knew who He Xinghua and Lou Xiao'e were.
On Hong Kong Island, there are many people who don't know who the Governor is.
But several business tycoons in Hong Kong Island appear in various newspapers almost every day.
He Xinghua was among them.
But He An still couldn't believe that He Xinghua, at such a young age, was already the successor of a multi-million dollar company.
“This is all your dad’s fault.”
If it weren't for his remote guidance, how could your Aunt Lou have built such a large business?
She somehow became a multi-millionaire.
Besides Xinghua, who else can she rely on?
Me too, I originally thought I'd just stay on the farm with your dad and live a life of leisure.
"And now it's turned out like this." Guo Shumiao's tone was more of a boast than a complaint.
“Auntie…” He An sat up, shifted his position, and moved a little further away from Guo Shumiao.
Then he continued, "All that flesh on your body wasn't from my father feeding you." (End of Chapter)
