The True Young Master's Metaphysical Road to Fame in Showbiz Ch. 96

Previously, the Chi family had always protected him, but after the huge scandal, and now with the ankle injury requiring rest, how could they just keep letting things slide?

Chi Qingzhou blinked.

Guan Xihua sent a few messages, asking friends about the situation. A short while later, his expression grew even more complex.

"The deals from Song Yuzhi won't last. Just ten minutes ago, the official Weibo accounts of a jewelry brand and a sports brand under the Song Group both released statements saying that the previous rumors about Chi Qingning were false and that they weren't planning to sign any new endorsers anytime soon."

What shocked him even more was—

"Qingzhou... The paparazzi caught your father, your older brother, and Chi Qingning all in the same hospital, in adjacent rooms... Are you planning to visit them?"

*TN:
I don't know which one is correct, the author keep switching between Weibo and Lianbo 😩

The members of the Chi family, aside from Madam Chi and Chi Qingzhou, were all lying neatly in the orthopedic ward of the same hospital, which left Guan Xihua utterly shocked.

Could this be the legendary "family that has to stay together"?

He couldn't help but suspect that the Chi family had been having a rough time lately, and he really didn't want Chi Qingzhou to get caught up in their bad luck.

His artist had only just managed to restore their reputation, and what if they got tangled up in some random small scandal again?

But he knew this wasn't realistic.

Forget about Chi Qingzhou not visiting the sick; what would outsiders think of him? With his belief that there were no bad people in the world, he couldn't just ignore it when his father and brother were ill.

Sure enough, Chi Qingzhou gave a slight nod with a somewhat serious expression.

"Of course I'll go."

Guan Xihua sighed, not at all surprised. "Alright then, I'll come pick you up with Du Huan tomorrow morning. It's already night, President Chi and Young Master Chi should be asleep by now, so don't disturb them."

Chi Qingzhou responded with a simple "Mm-hmm."

Seeing how obedient he looked, Guan Xihua couldn't help but feel a little more uneasy. He added, "You can't go alone tomorrow. Wait for me to come with you to buy some fruit and flowers, then we'll go together, got it? You've got fans now, so don't go running around alone."

Chi Qingzhou readily agreed, "Okay."

Guan Xihua continued, "When you get there, just focus on caring about them. Don't bring up anything about Chi Qingning, understand?"

Chi Qingzhou nodded, "Got it."

After reminding him a few more times, Guan Xihua finally paused, relieved, and took a sip of water to wet his lips.

But Chi Qingzhou suddenly asked, "Brother Guan, you said my family's been having bad luck lately?"

Guan Xihua froze for a moment, then muttered, "I just said that offhand."

When it came to things like this, if you believe it, it's true; if not, then it's not.

Chi Qingzhou, however, thought it made a lot of sense. "My dad and them really have had some bad luck."

The system's task rewards were random, and both times they landed on the Chi family—if that wasn't bad luck, then what was it?

The system, which had been quietly listening, replied: [......]

It was always impressed by the host's train of thought.

It couldn't help but ask, [Don't you understand why Chi Xiaoyuan and Chi Shuhong have bad luck, host?]

Chi Qingzhou found the system unreasonable, [I didn't choose them.]

The system could pick from so many others, but it chose the Chi family twice. Shouldn't the Chi family be reflecting on their own luck?

The system: [......]

Chi Qingzhou stopped paying attention to the system and met Guan Xihua's slightly confused and awkward gaze. He sincerely said, "Then tomorrow, I'll suggest they go to a temple and pray. Their luck's been really bad."

Xing Shuangzhan, hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but laugh softly.

His little contract holder truly had some wild ideas.

Chi Qingzhou, not very pleased, kicked the shadow.

Guan Xihua, sitting in the front seat, couldn't see his movement. After thinking for a moment, he realized there was nothing wrong with what he said and nodded. "Sure, you can suggest it, but not everyone believes in that stuff. You can just mention it casually. If they don't want to, then forget it."

Chi Qingzhou smiled, "Got it."

The next morning, after breakfast, Chi Qingzhou was ready, and Guan Xihua and Du Huan arrived.

The three of them went together to buy flowers and a fruit basket for the visit. Chi Qingzhou reached out to grab two but was immediately stopped by Du Huan, who snatched them away.

As Du Huan put it, this was an assistant's job, and Chi Qingzhou didn't need to do such physical work.

Although Du Huan had a gentle and friendly face, he had once trained in Muay Thai and had won several Muay Thai competition championships before switching careers. Beneath his sportswear, his body was all muscle.

He tied up the four fruit baskets and four bouquets of flowers with some string and held them steadily in both hands.

Guan Xihua didn't argue with Du Huan. While driving, he curiously asked Chi Qingzhou, "Did someone else from the Chi family get hospitalized?"

Chi Qingzhou replied, "Mm, my uncle fractured his thigh bone."

Guan Xihua clicked his tongue in surprise.

He hadn't known that Chi Qingzhou's uncle was also in the orthopedic department of that hospital, and now that he found out it wasn't three but four members of the Chi family who were hospitalized, he couldn't help but agree with Chi Qingzhou's thoughts from yesterday.

It was just too ridiculous for a whole family to line up for bad luck. Who wouldn't wonder about it?

But...

Guan Xihua was puzzled. "You have an uncle? How come I've never heard of him before?"

Chi Qingzhou smiled lightly. "I've never met my uncle before either. Today's the first time."

Guan Xihua raised an eyebrow, wondering what he was imagining, and clicked his tongue twice.

He dropped Chi Qingzhou off at the hospital and asked Du Huan and Chi Qingzhou to go up while he found a place to park.

Chi Qingzhou took one fruit basket and a bouquet of flowers, and went with Du Huan to the orthopedic inpatient department.

Actually, the injuries of the Chi family members didn't really require hospitalization, but they were worried about long-term consequences. Even though they had to pay extra, they insisted on staying in the hospital for observation.
