Chapter 181: Chapter 137 Qi Xingzhou’s Gift (Two in One)

Without their cell phones, the guests all retired early to bed, Jiang Ning even stood on the balcony for a while before heading back to his room to rest.

The popularity of the live broadcast gradually decreased; Huo Ziheng put down his phone, his striking face displaying a complex expression.

That very night, Huo Ziheng left the production crew and took the earliest flight back to Capital City.

Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian, the two brothers, personally went to the airport to pick him up.

Upon seeing Huo Ziheng, Huo Kaiping immediately complimented him, "Second brother, you’re still so handsome."

"Exactly, that so-called production crew didn’t capture your good looks at all," Huo Kaian chimed in.

Huo Ziheng had seen some edited videos posted online by the media. On his first day joining the production crew, he looked fine, but afterwards... he became increasingly unkempt, and for so many days, he hadn’t even taken a bath, not to mention other hygiene issues. It was to the point where even Huo Ziheng found it hard to face himself.

Not wanting to recall his experiences of those days, he asked, "Where’s the car parked?"

"Just outside, let’s go," Huo Kaiping led the way.

Suddenly, a passerby pointed at Huo Ziheng and exclaimed, "Huo Ziheng?!!!"

Huo Ziheng instinctively looked at the stranger, a young woman he did not recognize.

The woman seemed unsure until she saw the full view of Huo Ziheng and then, with an excited expression, she approached and asked, "How come you’re here? I thought I was seeing things! I watched ’Survive for 30 Days’..."

At the sight of her excitement, Huo Ziheng suddenly felt a foreboding sense of dread. Moreover, he could feel that due to the woman’s loud voice, people nearby were already looking their way. It was not until he heard the production crew’s name mentioned that he felt a chill run down his spine, grabbed Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian, and took off.

When men really start running, women can’t hope to catch up.

In no time at all, the three brothers had left the woman far behind, leaving her standing there, stunned.

Even after they got into the car, Huo Kaian laughed and said, "Hahaha, second brother, I didn’t expect you to have fans now."

Huo Ziheng didn’t look the least bit pleased, "What kind of fans? Aren’t they all just wanting to laugh at me?"

He had scrolled through countless comments online about the live broadcast. Aside from Jiang Ning, whose reputation had taken a complete turn for the better, all other guests had been overshadowed by her. He and Huo Miao were the most pitiful, constantly ridiculed by netizens every day.

Huo Ziheng reflected that the insults he had received online during that period exceeded the number he had experienced in his entire life thus far!

Had he not run away just then, that woman would certainly have asked about the issue concerning Jiang Ning and Huo Miao, which was something Huo Ziheng did not want to hear.

Huo Ziheng’s face clearly showed his displeasure, and seeing this, Huo Kaian dared not laugh anymore.

Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian were still high school students, not yet eighteen and unable to drive a car.

In the luxury business vehicle, Huo Kaiping asked the chauffeur to raise the partition, so that they could talk in the back without worry of being overheard.

Huo Kaiping was slightly more level-headed than Huo Kaian. He said to Huo Ziheng, "Second brother, the production crew went ahead with a live broadcast of your lives without your prior consent. They’ve broken the law, haven’t they? Take the contract and sue them."

If it hadn’t been for the production crew’s sudden move, how would the relationship between Huo Miao and Jiang Ning have been exposed? He and Huo Kaian would not have been ridiculed by their classmates to the point of not wanting to go to school, and their parents and older brother would not be frowning all day. Not to mention Sister Miaomiao’s reputation had hit rock bottom!

Huo Kaiping couldn’t bear to think about how devastated Huo Miao would feel when she found out about all this.

Huo Kaian, feeling equally indignant, cursed the production crew for their lack of morals.

Both brothers agreed that Huo Ziheng should sue the production crew.

Huo Ziheng, feeling exhausted, rubbed his forehead, "We did sign a contract at that time. I’ll have to check it when I get back."

The production crew wasn’t foolish. They certainly wouldn’t do something that deliberately broke the law. He remembered that when they went to the Orange Entertainment Building to shoot a promotional video, the production crew had brought out a contract for them to sign. Since it was an opportunity that Huo Miao had been longing for, he and Mu Mingxuan had barely looked at it before signing.

Huo Ziheng had some suspicions that there might be something fishy about the contract they had signed.

After the three brothers returned to the Huo Family home, not only was Madam Huo there, but their eldest brother Huo Li was also at home.
