Good news! My sister Lin finally stopped being abstract today!

Chapter 124 Are there other dogs?

While waiting for the filming to begin, Shi Xingchen would occasionally glance in Lin Zhihao's direction. Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, seeing Gu Xiuzhe's happy smile made Shi Xingchen feel that something was very wrong.

"What's going on with him?"

Xiao Yuan looked in the direction Shi Xingchen was looking and said, "Him? Gu Xiuzhe, he played Chongyin. Didn't you act opposite him before?"

“That’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking why he suddenly seems so familiar with my sister.”

"They've known each other for a long time. It seems that Zhizhi came to City A before just to find him."

Hearing that Lin Zhihao had specifically sought out Gu Xiuzhe, alarm bells rang in Shi Xingchen's mind.

She stood up decisively and walked over to the two people who were chatting enthusiastically. She reached out her hand to Gu Xiuzhe and said, "Hello, my name is Shi Xingchen. I am the only artist my sister manages."

When he speaks, he emphasizes only two words, like the stars in the sky.

Gu Xiuzhe grasped Shi Xingchen's outstretched right hand in return, "Gu Xiuzhe, an artist whom Lou Su risked her life to protect."

The tension between the two was palpable. Lin Zhihao, oblivious to the awkward atmosphere, sat to the side watching their clasped hands, grinning and chatting idly with He Manman.

"Do you think they might fight?" Xiao Yuan asked Di Meng with a gossipy look on her face.

Di Meng's eyes were full of inquiry, "Hmm... I think... hmm... why did they fight?"

Xiao Yuan rolled her eyes at Di Meng, "Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"Oh."

"Xingchen, Xiuzhe, let's get started, let's get started."

The director called out Shi Xingchen and Gu Xiuzhe's names through a megaphone, and only then did the two let go of each other's hands.

While the two were away, Lin Zhihao lay on the chair leisurely eating potato chips, with He Manman sitting next to her, her hand occasionally reaching for the bag of potato chips in Lin Zhihao's hand.

"You shouldn't eat this much, you need to maintain your figure."

"I'm on vacation now and not working with the crew, so I don't need to maintain this schedule."

"Oh, but didn't I give you a new bag? Why do you keep reaching into my bag?" Lin Zhihao slapped He Manman's hand, which was trying to reach into her potato chip bag again.

"Ouch~" He Manman winced in pain, "What's wrong with eating some of yours?"

"Eat your own." Lin Zhihao opened a new bag of potato chips and stuffed it into He Manman's arms.

"Humph!"

“However, the ‘Shadow’ production team is quite quick. Long Jun’s house collapsed just now, and they’ve already found a new actor to replace him.” Lin Zhihao looked at Jin Ling, who was not far from her. The two looked at each other and nodded politely.

"After all, this drama has such a large budget, so they must be preparing contingency plans at all times."

"makes sense."

"By the way, Sister Lin, the director messaged me, asking if I could participate in the next variety show recording."

"Then you go."

"Ah, but it'll be so boring if I go alone and none of you are here. Even Nick Zhang isn't here this time." He Manman leaned back weakly in her chair. "I don't know what he's been up to lately, he hasn't been replying to my messages."

"Tsk, if I don't bring you, I'll have to bring other artists."

"Hey~~~"

"Ah~ Ah qiu~." Zhang Nick, far away in Qingcheng, rubbed the tip of his nose. "Who insulted me?"

After working hard for half a day, Lin Zhihao returned home and before she even entered the door, she saw her elderly father squatting at the door. His face was covered with a stubble beard. When he saw Lin Zhihao return, he didn't say a word and just kept his head down and squatted at the door.

Lin Zhihao and He Manman looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Dad? What are you doing here? Where's Mom?" Lin Zhihao squatted down in front of He Junyao and asked with concern.

“555~~~ Zhizhi, my precious daughter, 5555~.

Junius Ho suddenly hugged Lin Zhihao and started crying and sobbing.

Seeing the situation, Lin Zhihao had no choice but to lead the people inside.

He Junyao placed the warm water on the table, picked it up, and gulped it down, coughing repeatedly.

"Oh, it's just lukewarm water, no one's going to take it from you."

"~~~"

"..."

"What happened? Where's my mom? Why did you come all by yourself?" In Lin Zhihao's memory, there were almost no major accidents when they went on long trips. Her father would always take her mother with him, let alone when they came to City A. It was impossible for her mother not to come along.

Hearing Lin Zhihao ask about his wife, He Junyao cried even louder, "She, she's a heartless man, waaaaah~"

"What did she do?"

Junius Ho raised an eyebrow and said, "She's taking the side of another man. She used to always stand by my side, but now she's taking the side of another man. Waaaaah, she must think I'm too old. Waaaaah!"

"..."

"Qin Feiyu?"

Father He shook his head.

"Uncle Liang?"

Mr. He looked on with disdain.

Seeing He's father's expression, Lin Zhihao realized, well, it was her mother's first love.

"Oh, they'll be fine. Besides, you two have been married for so long, and I'm all grown up now. My mom can't possibly have anything going on with Uncle Liang anymore."

"Waaaaah, you're not on my side either,~~" Father He's wailing grew louder.

"..."

"Dad! I'm just trying to comfort you."

“You said exactly the same things as your mother when you scolded me. My wife thinks I’m being unreasonable, and now my daughter thinks I’m being unreasonable too.”

"..."

Seeing a grown man crying like this, and still insisting he wasn't being unreasonable, Lin Zhihao had no choice but to video call He's mother.

As soon as the video call connected, the crying beside him stopped. Junius Ho unconsciously turned his neck toward the direction Lin Zhihao was holding, his eyes fixed on the phone screen.

Seeing Mr. He's subtle actions, Lin Zhihao speechlessly turned her phone towards him.

"I do not watch!"

"Oh, I just wanted to put my phone like this."

"Humph."

"Honey, didn't you call Mommy this afternoon? Why are you calling again? Do you miss Mommy?"

Upon seeing He's mother, Lin Zhihao smiled and said, "Yes, I missed my mother again."

“Dad misses Mom too.” Lin Zhihao pointed the entire screen directly at He’s father.

Seeing that Mr. Ho was actually with his beloved daughter, she exclaimed, "Ho Kwan-yiu, what are you doing sneaking off to your daughter's place!"

Hearing Shen Yuyu's voice, He Junyao's tears started to well up again. "Wife, you're yelling at me again~"

Lin Zhihao got goosebumps from the sound of He's father's clip and pulled He Manman back to their room, leaving the living room to the couple.
