He was still too young to know where to find his father, so he could only keep asking passersby.
"Hello, uncle, can you tell me where my dad Zhou Zhu is?"
"Hello, auntie, have you seen my dad Zhou Zhu?"
Finally, his questions caught the attention of a paparazzo on the roadside.
With the intention of digging up dirt on Zhou Zhu, the paparazzo took Hao Hao to the backstage where Zhou Zhu was walking the red carpet.
Today was Zhou Zhu's first appearance since winning the Best Actor award.
Surrounded by applause and flowers, the atmosphere was unrealistically perfect.
Under countless flashes, he was carrying a little girl on his shoulders, smiling indulgently as he accepted the reporters' interviews.
The beloved Xu Qing stood by his side, holding his arm.
To anyone watching, they seemed like a happy family of three.
Hao Hao stood dazed in the corner, watching his dazzling father in the crowd, feeling a bit at a loss.
In the past, Zhou Zhu would also lift him high on his shoulders like that.
That used to be his exclusive position.
But now, his dad gave the same love to another child.
Hao Hao swallowed hard, summoned his courage, and stepped forward.
He hadn't managed to call out "Dad" before Xu Qing dragged him into a lounge.
"Who allowed you to come here?"
Differing from her earlier tenderness, her face was now full of viciousness.
Her fierce tone made Hao Hao flinch and take a step back.
"Did Qin Wen send you here, wanting to force Zhou Zhu to announce his official wife status on this day of winning Best Actor?"
"Hasn't she realized yet? Zhou Zhu doesn't love you guys at all, all he cares about is us, the mother and daughter!"
"Qin Wen is just a disgraceful bitch, and you're a little bastard too!"
Although Hao Hao didn't know what "bitch" meant, he knew it wasn't a good word.
"You're the bitch, don't say bad things about my mom!"
His eyes were red with stubbornness as he glared at Xu Qing.
"Little bastard, still dare to talk back to me!"
Xu Qing swung her hand and slapped Hao Hao!
Hao Hao's cries drew attention from outside.
"Who's crying?"
Zhou Zhu frowned and asked immediately.
Xu Qing quickly covered Hao Hao's mouth.
"It's just the sound from a video, you still have the second part of the interview with the little one, hurry up and go."
Zhou Zhu frowned, wanting to say something, but was called away by a makeup artist nearby.
Xu Qing grabbed Hao Hao by his neck and threw him to the ground harshly.
He struggled to get up and go out to find his dad.
But the door to the lounge had already been locked by Xu Qing.
She admired her freshly done nails, revealing a sinister smile.
"Want to see your dad, fine, then play a little game with me."
She said it and tossed a piece of cake on the ground, then stomped on it forcefully.
"Kneel down and eat it, and I'll take you to your dad."
I screamed desperately, Hao Hao don't listen to her! This wicked woman is deceiving you!
I looked at Xu Qing, my eyes filled with rage!
Isn't it said that if the hatred is strong enough, one can become a vengeful ghost?
I'm willing for my soul to be cast into the depths of hell for eternity, just to become a vengeful ghost at this moment, to protect my Hao Hao!
But, I didn't become a ghost, and Hao Hao didn't hear my cry.
Hao Hao thought for a moment, sniffled, and knelt down compliantly.
"You can't lie to me."
Even though Hao Hao's eyes were red with grievance, he didn't back away, kneeling on the ground, crawling towards the stomped cake.
"As long as I eat the cake, I can see Dad. Once Prince Dad kisses Mom, Mom will wake up."
Hao Hao buried himself in eating the dirty cake.
Tears of grievance flowed from his eyes.
Watching this scene, my heart felt shattered.
My child, whom I treasured like a gem, had turned into Xu Qing's plaything after my death.....
Hao Hao! Run away!
Mom doesn't want this for you!
Seeing Hao Hao's comical appearance kneeling and eating cake, Xu Qing laughed with her whole being.
And at this moment, the door outside was opened, and a cold voice came through.
"What are you doing here?"
