Grandma Wang reacted strongly.
"Why should I send my grandson to his maternal grandmother's?" she glared at Xu Gui and questioned.
Xu Gui looked at her and chuckled, asking, "Don't you want to send your grandson to his maternal grandmother's?"
She said casually, "That's fine too. Anyway, it won't be long before everyone in your neighborhood knows your grandson is mentally ill, knows that your Wang family has a madman. As long as you don't mind being gossiped about after this gets out, it's fine."
Xu Gui's words really hit a nerve with the Wang family mother and son. Because of their ancestors' past glory, the mother and son valued the Wang family's reputation very much, so they placed high hopes on Wang Lingxing, the only "grandson" of the Wang family.
In their view, since Wang Lingxing was their Wang family's heir, he had to bear the expectation of revitalizing their Wang family's past glory, and he had to work hard and be better than anyone else.
Now, their only hope has been "damaged," and it might even affect the reputation of their Wang family, something the two of them desperately wanted to avoid.
"Right now, everyone only knows that Wang Xingxing has depression, which isn't serious and can be cured by going out for a walk (to outsiders). But if they knew that Xingxing now has schizophrenia..."
Xu Gui paused here, instantly raising the hearts of the Wang family mother and son.
"Then your Wang family will truly be disgraced. Everyone will know that your Wang family has a madman. Do you think anyone will still want to come to your family in the future?"
Xu Gui shook her head and sighed, "Who knows, at that time, when people mention your Wang family, they won't be referring to the Wang family in some place, but rather the Wang family whose child is mentally ill."
As she spoke, she gently patted the back of Wang Lingxing's hand, with a comforting tone.
Wang Lingxing looked down at that snow-white, delicate hand and pursed his lips.
Grandma Wang felt breathless just thinking about the scene Xu Gui described.
"What exactly do you want?" Her lips twitched, and she stared intently at Xu Gui, gritting her teeth as she asked, "Our Wang family has no grudge against you, so why are you deliberately going against us?"
Xu Gui blinked, feeling she couldn't bear such a accusation.
"Let me correct you, I didn't mean to go against you. I just took your money, Grandma, and came here specifically to help you solve your problem!"
Xu Gui was dissatisfied; she had tried so hard!
To this, Grandma Wang merely sneered, "Heh."
If she had known that inviting Xu Gui would lead to this outcome, she would never have spent the money. Now, she was seething with anger, looking as if she wanted to tear Xu Gui apart.
Thinking back, if time could turn back, she would definitely have stopped herself from going to Xu Gui for a fortune telling.
Xu Gui pretended not to see the old lady's resentful gaze.
"Actually, you know better than anyone else that your child isn't possessed by an evil spirit or a ghost. He's simply sick, suffering from schizophrenia. So, you should also know that no matter how many masters you find, it's impossible to expel this 'ghost' from him…"
After all, there's no such thing as a "ghost," so how can anyone drive it away? It's an illness.
"Since you, Madam, are worried that this illness will affect your Wang family's reputation if it gets out, why not take advantage of this now, before the news spreads, and send him away?"
Xu Gui coaxed, her tone seemingly carrying a hint of deception.
She said, "That way, no one will ever know about this, right? I think Mr. Wang is still young. At this age, it's not too late to have a second child. Then, you won't have this trouble now, will you?"
Xu Gui's words were too tempting. The old lady of the Wang family showed some interest on her face, especially when she heard Xu Gui mention "a second child." The interest on her face was impossible to hide, and she even seemed to have a sense of sudden enlightenment.
"Yes!" She looked at Wang's father happily and said, "Ah Zhang, you and Xiao Yu are still young, it's not too late to have a second child! How come I never thought of that before?"
At this moment, she didn't even glance at her grandson, Wang Lingxing.
Wang Lingxing, though he had expected this, still couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Just then, a hand reached out and gently grasped his. Wang Lingxing was startled, instinctively looking at Xu Gui, and then unconsciously tightening his grip on the hand, the tightness like a drowning person grabbing onto the last piece of driftwood.
He pursed his lips, tears welling in his eyes, and blinked hard to hold them back.
The conversation in the living room continued.
Hearing Grandma Wang's words, Mr. Wang glanced at Wang Lingxing and said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about it?" Grandma Wang retorted. "Look at Xingxing now, what hope is there for him in the future? Don't you have to think about the future? When you get old, will you still be taking care of him?"
Grandma Wang's eyes lit up. She said, "Only if you have another child will you have hope in your old age, only then will our Wang family have hope for the future!" The paparazzi,
listening, thought, "How can you be so sure that this second child will be healthy?"
Given the family atmosphere, he was afraid this child would be another Wang Lingxing.
"Can't you speak properly? Is that how you curse people?" Grandma Wang suddenly snapped, glaring at the paparazzi. "Our second child will definitely be healthy and without any problems!"
The paparazzi belatedly realized he had blurted out his true feelings. He gave an awkward smile and shut his mouth, remaining silent.
Xu Gui looked at Grandma Wang and said, "How about it? My idea isn't bad, is it?"
With other thoughts in mind, Grandma Wang's heavy mood improved considerably. Looking at Xu Gui, she no longer had that expression of looking at an enemy, but rather some confusion. She asked, "What benefit do you get from doing all this?"
She was questioning Xu Gui's efforts for Wang Lingxing, not understanding why she went to so much trouble.
Xu Gui thought for a moment, then shamelessly boasted, "Maybe it's because I'm a soft-hearted person and can't bear to see a child suffer!"
Alas, she really was a kind-hearted turtle. The Third Elder would definitely praise her if he saw her like this.
Xu Gui was smug and very happy, feeling quite pleased with herself.
And as a kind-hearted turtle, she planned to take Wang Lingxing away right now.
"Take him away? Where do you want to take him?" Wang's father couldn't help but ask, his brows furrowing.
It seemed he still had some affection for his son, Wang Lingxing, though it wasn't much.
Xu Gui said, "I plan to take him to the orphanage where I used to live first, and then call his grandmother to pick him up..."
In short, she wouldn't leave Wang Xingxing behind.
"I'm doing this for your sake," Xu Gui thought to herself, but her expression was quite different.
She spoke with an air of reason and conviction, saying, "Your neighbors already know he's sick, and they'll probably be showing up under the guise of visiting him soon. If Xingxing has an episode, the whole neighborhood will know your Xingxing has a mental illness..."
That would be terrible! So, she decided to go all the way and nip this "hidden danger" in the bud for the Wang family.
"You don't need to thank me too much, it's just that I'm kind-hearted," she said modestly.
Hearing this, Wang's father was speechless. "If this situation weren't entirely your doing, I might actually believe you. You're shameless."
Grandma Wang believed Xu Gui's words and looked at her with some surprise, saying, "I didn't expect your daughter to be so kind-hearted... It seems I misunderstood you before."
Xu Gui shamelessly accepted her praise and then said, "Then I'll trouble you to help Xingxing pack his things. The longer he stays at home, the greater the risk of him being discovered. I need to take him away as soon as possible!"
She spoke with great seriousness, and Grandma Wang became anxious upon hearing this, hurriedly saying, "Then I'll go pack his things now."
Her impatient manner made onlookers feel sorry for Wang Lingxing. Fortunately, Wang Lingxing did not show much sadness and seemed to be in a stable mood, simply following Xu Gui step by step.
Mr. Wang looked at Xu Gui, frowning, "How are the conditions at your orphanage? Xingxing won't be bullied there, will she?"
Xu Gui smiled, "Our orphanage is pretty good. I grew up there. Look how healthy and lively I am now! Even my mind is healthy!"
Mr. Wang glanced at Xu Gui, his lips twitching slightly, "...Hmm, I can see that. She is quite lively."
He seemed hesitant about sending Wang Lingxing to the orphanage, but didn't know what to do. In the end, he just stood silently to the side, lost in thought.
Two policemen arrested Master Zhou and his two disciples. They roughly understood what had happened. Remembering Wang Lingxing's resolute attitude when she ran to the balcony, they wisely remained silent.
A little while later, Grandma Wang brought out a large suitcase. She looked at Xu Gui and said, "I packed some seasonal clothes and toiletries..."
Then, she looked at Wang Lingxing beside her and said, "I'll mail the rest to you later."
Wang Lingxing remained silent.
The old lady sighed and said, "Don't think Grandma is heartless. Who told you to get this illness? If word gets out, how can our family face anyone? What will people think of us? I..."
"Are you packed? Then we're leaving now." Xu Gui suddenly rushed in, interrupting the old lady's "heartfelt confession." The old lady opened her mouth, but reluctantly swallowed the rest of her words.
Xu Gui picked up the suitcase and turned to ask Wang Lingxing, "Is there anything you want to take?"
Wang Lingxing glanced at her, then went back into the house. A moment later, he came out carrying a large, golden piggy bank. He stood quietly beside Xu Gui, looking very obedient.
Xu Gui glanced at the golden pig again, then turned to the Wang family mother and son: "Then I'll take him with me. I'll contact you when we get to the orphanage."
Wang's father took a step forward: "Let me see you out!"
He seemed to want to say something to Wang Lingxing, but Wang Lingxing kept his head down, seemingly unwilling to speak, so Wang's father didn't know what to say. The father and son remained silent until they reached the outside of the residential area.
At this point, Wang's father couldn't see them off any further; if he did, he would have to get in the car with them to the orphanage.
"Xingxing..." Wang's father hesitated, then added, "When you get to the orphanage, you must be obedient, don't make anyone angry, and take good care of yourself..."
At this moment, he seemed to have a change of heart, suddenly showing signs of a loving father, which was ironic.
Xu Gui had previously asked the paparazzi to turn off the live stream, but seeing this scene now, he felt an urge to have him turn it back on, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Soon, the car Xu Gui and his group had called arrived. Xu Gui helped Wang Lingxing into the car and said to Wang's father, "Well then, Mr. Wang, see you later."
Wang's father watched their car drive away, and only after it was out of sight did he sigh and turn to go back. But after only a few steps, he suddenly realized something: "...Did I exchange contact information with them?"
He abruptly turned his head, but by then, Xu Gui's car was already far away.
Two policemen were also preparing to take Master Zhou and his two disciples back to the police station. The three of them looked more like they were crying.
Thinking about the Zheng family's affair and now the Wang family's situation, Master Zhou was certain that he and that Miss Xu were incompatible; she was definitely bringing him bad luck.
How hateful! If only he had realized this earlier, he would have turned and left when he saw her at the Wang family's house. If he had, he wouldn't be in this predicament now.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.
Meanwhile, in the taxi, the paparazzi was also asking the same question: "...Teacher Xu, do the Wang family have our contact information?"
Xu Gui feigned ignorance: "Ah, well, I don't know, I don't think so."
The paparazzi was speechless. Sometimes he felt Teacher Xu was very reliable, making him feel safe, but other times, he felt Teacher Xu was completely unreliable!
"What if they call the police and say we abducted a child?" he couldn't help but ask.
Xu Gui looked at the obviously long-limbed boy sitting next to him and hesitated: "This...isn't he a child?"
A seventeen-year-old boy will be an adult at the end of this year, is he still considered a child?
"It's okay," said Wang Lingxing, the person involved, in a muffled voice, "They won't bother you, and they won't bother me...They finally got rid of this burden of mine, they won't want to come back."
The content of his words was somewhat heavy, and the paparazzi didn't know how to respond to him for a moment.
"Oh, right, there are a lot of children in our orphanage," Xu Gui said, as if suddenly remembering something. She looked at Wang Lingxing and asked, "Have you thought about how you're going to get along with them?"
Wang Lingxing's eyes widened, his expression a little blank.
Xu Gui sighed and said, "It seems you haven't thought about it. Well, you can start thinking about it now. You know, there are a lot of children in our orphanage, some are only this young. If you're not careful, you might make them cry, and that might not be a pretty sight."
Upon hearing this, Wang Lingxing's face scrunched up, and his expression became serious.
He sat there, frowning, seemingly seriously considering how to get along with the children in the orphanage.
At that moment, he almost forgot all his heavy feelings.
Seeing this, the paparazzi couldn't help but give Xu Gui an admiring look. When he looked away, he saw the driver's rather strange gaze.
Paparazzi: "…Ha, no, don't worry, we're not human traffickers."
Driver: His eyes suddenly sharpened.
The person filming: "..." Why does your gaze look even more off?
Finally, under the driver's sharp and wary gaze, Xu Gui and his team arrived safely at the orphanage.
As soon as the car arrived, the cameraman eagerly got out—he felt like he was being stared at to death by the driver's eyes.
"Let's start the live stream," Xu Gui said after getting out.
Hearing this, the cameraman was somewhat surprised, glanced at Wang Lingxing, and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay?"
Xu Gui said, "Everyone should be very concerned about the outcome of this matter. Let's start the live stream so they can see what's going on and stop worrying."
The cameraman nodded, saying, "I hadn't thought of that."
He operated the equipment and started the live stream.
A few minutes later, Xu Gui's live stream, which had gone dark, lit up again.
At this moment, the viewers who had been waiting in the live stream were overjoyed to see it light up, and then they saw the orphanage gate.
Viewers: ???
[Where did Xu Gui bring us here?] one of the viewers asked in the chat.
As if sensing everyone's questions, Xu Gui's face popped into the frame from the side.
She introduced, "We're at the entrance of the orphanage where I grew up, and Wang Xingxing is with me."
Wang Lingxing glanced at her and softly said, "Wang Lingxing..."
Xu Gui nodded, proudly stating, "That's right, it's Wang Xingxing. He's now an unofficial member of our orphanage and will be staying there temporarily for the next few days."
"Wang Lingxing..." Wang Lingxing muttered in protest.
Meanwhile, the viewers watching the live stream were somewhat bewildered:
[Wait, why are we suddenly at the orphanage? Why is Wang Xingxing going to stay there? Did I miss two hours, or two years?]
[I was so scared! Did the Wang family do anything wrong? The streamer suddenly turned off the broadcast, I thought something had happened! But Wang Xingxing is standing here safely, which means everything's alright, right?] [
The anchor seems like a kidnapper (in a good way!), did she "abduct" several children to an orphanage?]
[Slander! That's all slander, okay? How could our Xiao Gui be associated with kidnappers? All told, she only abducted three children to the orphanage: Zhao Di, Ms. Li Ru's son, and Wang Xingxing!]
[Yeah, it is slander. Xu Gui only filmed the show for half a month and abducted three children to the orphanage.]
[You guys are really rude!]
[So, what happened next? How did Wang Xingxing end up at the orphanage with Xu Gui? Didn't his family stop him?]
[I've said it several times, his name is Wang Lingxing!! Not Wang Xingxing!]
...
Xu Gui knew everyone's questions, so she simply explained the situation.
Her summarizing ability was always excellent; she explained the whole story in just a few words.
"Anyway, that's the situation now. Wang Xingxing will stay at our orphanage for the next few days. I'll contact his grandmother later and have her come to pick him up."
This was the best option Xu Gui could make for Wang Xingxing.
Wang Xingxing glanced at her, hesitated, and ultimately gave up on correcting himself by calling himself Wang Lingxing instead of Wang Xingxing... Actually, he thought the name Wang Xingxing sounded quite nice.
Perhaps he should change his name to Wang Xingxing from now on?
While "Comrade Wang Xingxing" was seriously considering the possibility of changing his name, someone came out of the orphanage.
Xu Gui looked over and saw it was the director and the others. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she happily rushed towards the director.
"Director~" Everyone in the live stream heard her sweet, soft voice.
In the lively chat, the comments from the "mommy fans" were particularly striking: [Our daughter has never spoken to us in such a sweet, soft voice before!! QAQ]
The "mommy fans" were utterly defeated at this moment!
"
Director!"
Xu Gui had already nestled into the director's arms, speaking softly and affectionately—this body was hers, and after the memories merged, she instinctively felt a sense of closeness to the director, genuinely regarding her as an elder.
The director reached out and embraced her, saying, "You're so grown up, why are you still acting like a child?" But judging from the expression on her face, she clearly enjoyed it.
Xu Gui laughed and said, "I love acting like a child with the director because I know she likes me the most."
She was quite smug.
Then, she glanced at the others and asked, "Why are you all out here?"
Besides the director, there were Zhao Di, Wu Xueya, and volunteers from the orphanage. Everyone surrounded Xu Gui and the director, especially Zhao Di and Wu Xueya, who stood around Xu Gui's feet, looking up at her with bright, sparkling eyes.
If they could, they probably would have wanted to hug Xu Gui's legs.
Xu Gui saw them and patted both of their heads lightly, earning them bright smiles in return.
Wang Lingxing, seeing this, quietly moved to stand beside them.
He was a quiet, reserved boy, not fond of talking. Although he stood there, he didn't utter a word, only occasionally glancing at Xu Gui with very subtle movements, easily overlooked.
However, Xu Gui had been paying attention to him, so even though his movements were small, he noticed and, understanding, reached out to pat Wang Lingxing's head as well.
This time, Wang Lingxing's eyes clearly lit up. Although his expression didn't change much, the atmosphere around him became noticeably lighter.
The poor, 1.8-meter-tall man even had to bow his head in front of Xu Gui.
After patting the three heads, Xu Gui turned to speak with the dean and the others.
The director said, "We've been watching your live stream. Just now, we saw you at the orphanage gate, and Zhao Di and the others said they'd come to pick you up."
Xu Gui went to look at Zhao Di and the others. Zhao Di smiled shyly; she wasn't much of a talker. Wu Xueya, however, spoke clearly, "We just wanted to see you, sister, as soon as possible."
His words were immediately endearing, making Xu Gui pat his head again. After
exchanging a few words at the gate, they went inside.
Xu Gui solemnly entrusted Wang Xingxing to Zhao Di and Wu Xueya. The two were quite young, three or four years younger than Wang Lingxing, at the age of middle school, eager to become adults.
Seeing Xu Gui so earnestly entrusting them with the care of Wang Xingxing, the two immediately felt a sense of responsibility and took the task very seriously.
"Don't worry, sister, we'll take good care of Wang Xingxing!" Wu Xueya addressed Wang Xingxing as Xu Gui.
"Wang Xingxing": "My name is Wang Lingxing..."
Zhao Di whispered, "Wang Xingxing, let's go play over here! There's a slide over there shaped like an elephant, it's really pretty and huge, let's play together... Or, there's a swing and a seesaw over there!"
Wang Lingxing wanted to refuse, after all, he felt he was an adult, but Wu Xueya had already pulled him away, saying happily as they walked, "We can also eat ice cream! Sister Fu Xia bought a whole cart of ice cream, the cart is still in the yard now, I'll take you to eat!"
Seeing this scene, Xu Gui felt a little more relaxed—Zhao Di and Wu Xueya were both steady people, she felt at ease with them taking care of Wang Xingxing.
She spoke softly to the dean.
"...Where's Fu Xia? I don't see her." She looked around, but couldn't see Fu Xia anywhere, even though Wu Xueya had just mentioned her.
Speaking of Fu Xia, the dean chuckled, whispering, "She's hiding, saying you're livestreaming and can't be filmed. If she is, everyone will laugh at her."
It seemed she hadn't recovered from the embarrassment of confessing her feelings to a primary school student.
Xu Gui chuckled softly.
The dean then asked her, "What's the situation with this child?" Although she had been watching Xu Gui's livestreams and knew the child might have schizophrenia, she wasn't entirely clear on the specifics.
Xu Gui said, "His family put too much pressure on him, causing excessive emotional repression, which led to some mental problems."
It started as depression, which gradually developed into schizophrenia. If the illness had been properly intervened from the beginning, it might not have become so severe. However, the Wang family clearly refused to acknowledge his illness and were unwilling to take him for treatment, leading to a complete mental breakdown, resulting in the emergence of the female personality "Wang Lingxing."
"…His family is ashamed of his illness, so I brought him here," Xu Gui explained his thoughts. "He can't stay with his parents anymore; it will only worsen his condition. I plan to send him to his maternal grandmother's."
The hospital director asked, "Will his illness get better with his grandmother?"
Xu Gui nodded, his tone certain, "It will. His grandmother is different from his family; she has a very good personality. He will find great comfort in her presence."
Moreover, compared to the Wang family's fearful attitude, Wang Lingxing's grandmother would actively and proactively help him with his treatment, rather than avoiding medical care altogether.
"Only by staying with his grandmother can he survive," Xu Gui said.
The director sighed, saying, "There are always so many parents who put too much pressure on their children…"
However, it's rare to see such a hostile attitude as the Wang family. If he hadn't met Xu Gui, he would most likely have jumped to his death today. But perhaps even God took pity on him, allowing him to meet Xu Gui.
The director patted Xu Gui's hand, saying with satisfaction, "You did a great job."
Xu Gui said shyly, "I thought you'd think I was causing trouble for the hospital, especially since I brought three children back."
"You know that too," the director said playfully, then reached out and patted her head—just moments ago Xu Gui had patted the three children's heads, but now the director was patting hers.
Xu Gui felt a gentle rub on her head and couldn't help but smile.
The camera crew didn't follow their conversation, and Xu Gui turned off her recording equipment, so the viewers in the live stream couldn't hear what they were saying. They could only see Xu Gui, looking like a little girl, burying her head in the director's arms. Even though she was a head taller than the director, the scene looked somewhat comical.
However, it was also incredibly heartwarming.
[Ah, this scene looks so heartwarming. It warms my heart.]
[I've seen so many cold relationships in the live stream today, but seeing this scene is quite touching. While there are cold-hearted people like the Mao and Wang families, there's also the warm relationship between Xu Gui and the director.]
[People are inherently different, and relationships can be healthy or unhealthy. The relationship between the Mao and Wang families is clearly unhealthy. We should escape unhealthy relationships and develop healthy ones; that's the right choice.]
[Summary: Question others more, waste less time on yourself. Anyway, I'm sure I'm right!]
...
Xu Gui's afternoon live stream was broadcast from the orphanage.
Fu Xia's ice cream truck was still in the yard. Wang Xingxing was dragged to eat one, and Xu Gui joined in, asking the ice cream maker to make her a larger version. It
was topped with nuts, looking incredibly tempting.
For the children, not just the orphanage kids, seeing such a large ice cream was incredibly tempting. The children who were playing around were all drawn to the ice cream in her hand.
"Wow, sister, how can you eat such a big one?"
A group of children surrounded Xu Gui.
Facing their envious gazes, Xu Gui proudly nibbled off the tip of the ice cream mountain, then declared, "The ice cream maker probably thought I was very, very good, so he rewarded me!"
The children exclaimed, "Wow!"
"If we become very, very good, will he give us ice cream this big too?" one child asked hopefully.
Xu Gui glanced at the child who spoke and said, "That's impossible, because you can't be better than me!"
The child: QAQ.
"Waaah, Dean..." the child cried and went to find the dean.
Xu Gui innocently took a bite of her ice cream and chuckled, "These kids are really fun to tease." So cute, so capable of crying and laughing, how amusing!
Netizens watching this scene commented: Ah, they knew it! Kids are meant to be teased! (Just kidding
) After finishing her ice cream, Xu Gui played with the children in the orphanage for a while. Most of the children in the orphanage were precocious. Because they were abandoned, they seemed more obedient than other children, which made people feel sorry for them after a while.
Xu Gui stayed in the orphanage until evening. Dinner was cooked by someone hired by Fu Xia. She hid for a while to avoid the camera. Only after Xu Gui turned off the live stream did she sit down with Xu Gui in the canteen and talk to her.
"I just secretly went online to check, and these people are so hateful! They're all laughing at me! Don't I have any shame?"
The worst part is, even her family and friends are calling and messaging her to make fun of her. Hahaha, who would have thought? Fu Xia was unknown in the entertainment industry for days, but became famous overnight for confessing her feelings to an elementary school student.
Fu Xia smiled, "That's good too. At least from now on, when I go out, people will say when they hear my name: 'Ah, it's Fu Xia, the one who confessed to an elementary school student!' You agree, right?"
Xu Gui was amused by her words, and the two chattered together.
Fu Xia had hired a professional chef, and the meal she prepared made the orphanage children so happy they showed their big teeth, calling Fu Xia "Sister Xia Xia" one after another, making Fu Xia completely smitten. She hugged each of them and said they were adorable.
Xu Gui watched, a smile unconsciously appearing in her eyes.
Just then, the cameraman who had been silent suddenly sat down. Under Xu Gui's questioning gaze, the cameraman said, "Teacher Xu, I remember, the premise for successfully bringing Wang Xingxing out was telling the Wang family that we wouldn't reveal his split personality, right?"
Xu Gui's attention was still on Fu Xia and the children, and she nodded indifferently, "I think so." The cameraman said
, "...But we've been live-streaming from the beginning today, only stopping in the middle. Didn't the news about Wang Xingxing's illness already get broadcast?"
Xu Gui blinked, then blinked again, indicating, "I think so."
The cameraman thought: Maybe, possibly, probably, news about Wang Xingxing's split personality is already flying everywhere online.
"Won't the Wang family come and take Wang Xingxing back?" the cameraman asked guiltily.
Xu Gui replied, "No, what they want most right now is to have another son as soon as possible. They won't put much effort into Wang Xingxing anymore."
The paparazzi was worried: "...Given their family's situation, if you ask them to have another child, won't that second child be ruined by them too?"
In his view, a family like the Wang family shouldn't have children; they simply didn't deserve it. A child born into their family would only suffer.
"Don't worry," Xu Gui said, looking at him. "Their second child has been outstanding since birth, completely withstanding their family's high-pressure education... Besides, do you think they wouldn't have thought about having a second child if I hadn't brought it up?"
She had only brought it up first.
According to the original plan, Wang Xingxing would have jumped to her death. After losing Wang Xingxing and suffering a huge blow, the Wang family quickly had the idea of having another child—their family line had been severed, so of course they had to find a way to have another one.
After much effort, they finally had a second child, and this second child lived up to their expectations, being exceptionally outstanding.
The only problem is that this child was born emotionally detached and moved out of the Wang family after reaching adulthood, having virtually no contact with them. In a way, how could this not be considered a win-win situation for the Wang family?
After all, they wanted someone to carry on the family line and bring glory to their Wang family; their wish had already been fulfilled. Whether the child had any affection for them or was unwilling to support them in their old age, what did that matter?
All things considered, their family actually benefited greatly.
"Right?"
