Chapter 569 Gossip News
The saying goes, "It's not about steaming buns, it's about saving face." Huang Dacheng was willing to offend the Li family just to get revenge.
We brothers wholeheartedly agree with Huang Dacheng's approach. If he didn't do it this way, where would we go to watch the show?
On the third day after Liang Bixin returned to Canada, a tabloid reported that she had used corpse oil to bewitch Li Er Gongzi.
Over the next two weeks, several related reports emerged, but none of them gained traction and were quickly taken down and overshadowed by other news.
For example, there's the ongoing scandal surrounding superstar Chen Daozai's secret marriage; Liu Mingxi, who has been banned due to a photo scandal, is rumored to have broken up with his girlfriend; and Xie Xiaohu and Zhang Piaopiao's second child scandal.
While browsing these news articles, I didn't pay attention to anything else, but when I saw Xie Xiaohu being pressed by reporters about having a second child, I was a bit dumbfounded.
I know Xie Xiaohu and Zhang Piaopiao's situation better than anyone. Have they reconciled and are having a second child?
Last time Xie Xiaohu accompanied Li Hailun to catch her cheating, he witnessed that scene. How could he still reconcile with Zhang Piaopiao?
With doubts in my mind, I took out my phone and called Li Hailun.
"Thirteen!"
After the call connected, Li Hailun's voice was filled with exhaustion.
"Helen, I saw on the news that Xiaohu and Zhang Piaopiao are having their second child?" I asked directly without any formalities.
"You saw the report too?" Li Hailun asked nervously.
"I saw it!"
I hummed in agreement and asked, "Sister Helen, didn't Xiaohu want to divorce Zhang Piaopiao? Why is he having a second child? Did Zhang Piaopiao cast a spell on Xiaohu again?"
"I haven't cast any spells!" Li Hailun replied in a muffled voice.
"Is that report fake? Zhang Piaopiao isn't pregnant?" I asked.
"I'm pregnant!" Li Hailun replied.
"Isn't Xiaohu with Zhang Piaopiao...?"
I was halfway through my sentence when a certain possibility occurred to me, so I stopped talking.
A moment of silence.
I didn't speak, and neither did Li Hailun.
"Sister Helen, the child wouldn't be...?"
After about five seconds, I tentatively asked.
"It's his!" Li Hailun said through gritted teeth.
"Helen, what are you planning to do?" I asked.
"What should we do?"
Li Hailun sighed and said, "What can I do? I can't even see Zhang Piaopiao now. Xiaohu and I have to keep this child, whether we want to or not!"
"Did Zhang Piaopiao use this child to threaten you?" I asked.
"Um!"
Li Hailun gave a weak hum and said, "It's nothing more than those two things: money and status!"
"Helen, what are you and Xiaohu planning to do?" I asked.
"What can I do? Just say yes!"
Li Hailun was both angry and helpless. "That bitch Zhang Piaopiao said that since she has nothing left anyway, if we don't agree to her conditions, she'll reveal the identity of the child's father and take us all down with her!"
I clicked my tongue; Zhang Piaopiao's move was indeed ruthless.
If she really reveals the true identity of the child's father, not only will Zhang Piaopiao be disgraced, but Xie Xiaohu and his family of three will also be drowned in a sea of criticism.
Putting everything else aside, Xie Xiaohu will never be able to hold his head high in the entertainment industry again.
"So, you reluctantly accepted the child in her belly?" I asked.
"Any other way?" Li Hailun asked in return.
"There really isn't!" I said after thinking for a moment.
"Helen, wasn't it she who leaked the news about the second pregnancy?"
"right!"
Li Hailun gritted her teeth and said, "She's the one who released it to put pressure on us!"
"What did Fourth Brother say?" I asked.
"he?"
Li Hailun scoffed and said, "He's acting like nothing happened, playing dumb with us. That bastard, how could I have married him back then?"
"Helen, so you've been threatened by her all this time?" I asked.
"Won't!"
Li Hailun snorted and said, "We've agreed that we'll divorce when the child is a little older, and we'll give her a sum of money in the meantime!"
"She agreed?" I asked.
"She has to give us the money, no matter what. If she doesn't agree, I'd rather fight to the death!" Li Hailun said through gritted teeth.
"Thirteen, you guys must be pretty busy lately?"
After saying that, Li Hailun didn't want to continue the topic and instead asked us.
"It's alright, he goes to the hospital every day for acupuncture treatment for Gambling King Lu!"
I replied, chatted with Li Hailun for a while, and then hung up the phone.
"That's awesome!"
I was still reeling from the shock after the call ended.
"What's so great about it?"
Fatty Lin came downstairs and happened to hear me say "awesome," so he asked me a question.
"Damn, that's awesome!"
After I finished explaining the situation, Fatty Lin was just as shocked as I was.
After discussing Zhang Piaopiao's situation, we went on to gossip about a few recent events in the entertainment industry.
Leaving aside Hong Kong Island, the Chen Daozai incident has been dominating the headlines. On Taiwan, the most sensational news recently is that pop diva Zhang Yizhen has fallen out with her mother, who accused her of alcoholism and noodle-smoking.
Not only that, her mother also said that her friend had cast a curse on her.
The fact that an artist was identified in this way by his own mother immediately caused a huge uproar, with reports covering the entire media.
We don't know much about Zhang Yizhen, but I'm most familiar with her song "Tangible Wings".
Compared to Hong Kong, the entertainment industry in Taiwan is more heavily influenced by entertainment and is also more corrupt.
Leaving aside other circles, let's just talk about the Xuanmen (Taoist) circle.
In Taiwan, at least three variety shows have invited metaphysical masters to analyze whether Zhang Yizhen has been cursed.
This black current was meant to feed them, clearly and unambiguously.
We gossiped for over half an hour before stopping to discuss the matter of Gambling King Lu.
It has been more than two months since the gambling king Lu got into trouble. Shi Shi's baby is also two months along. In another month, she will have to have the baby removed for the Seven Star Life Extension Ceremony.
The materials needed to create the life-extending formation have been gradually gathered over this period, and Zhang Chou has already begun to make arrangements in the past few days.
"Crazy, I have a bad feeling this whole thing is going to go wrong!" Fatty Lin said.
"That's what I think too!" I nodded and said, "Fatty, from now on, before you go out every time, go to the ancestral shrine for a divination, otherwise I won't feel at ease!"
"That'll do!" Fatty Lin nodded.
"That oily-skinned lackey Zhang Chou is no ordinary person; he's a bit sinister. Last time, I tried to place two Gu worms in the ward for reconnaissance, but that oily-skinned lackey discovered them as soon as I put them down!"
Long Nier then spoke up.
"Chirp!"
Xiao Ba also chirped.
"Xiao Ba said that the little devil is really evil; she looks terrifying!" Long Nier translated.
"We have to be careful of this guy. I have a feeling he's going to pull something big this time!" I said.
"Anyway, it's just a little trick!" Fatty Lin summarized.
