Chapter 12 They are your adopted grandchildren whom you have never met
It's nearing the end of the month.

The public opinion about An Ruo on the Internet does not seem to fade away from people's sight with the passage of time. Instead, it has a tendency to intensify.

Open any entertainment website and you will see the following headlines on the front page...

"Shocking! Why has An Ruo remained so popular since her debut? It turns out that he is the financial backer behind her?!"

"If the song isn't good, why is the company pushing it hard? It turns out An Ruo has such a deep background!"

"An Ruo was caught up in a storm of public opinion. He had no real power and relied on unspoken rules to get to the top. Now he is finally suffering the backlash!"

"..."

There are so many catchy headlines that even the UC Shock Department calls themselves experts!

As expected, he studied journalism.

When you click on these news, you will find that they are basically all based on hearsay, fabricated stories, without any actual basis, and without any pictures or truth.

Anyone who has been around the internet for a while can tell that this is an awkward smear campaign.

But there are still many people who believe this kind of news, and there are a lot of comments below.

"That's what I guessed."

"I haven't even heard a few songs by this An Ruo. I don't know why this person is so popular."

"A bitch who relies on unspoken rules to get to the top has a bunch of brainless fans licking her. It's hilarious."

There are many comments like this, and of course there are many fans of An Ruo who are trying to clarify the matter, but it is obviously of no use.

People only believe what they want to believe.

As An Ruo's promoter, Cheng Ran has been patrolling these comment sections intensively these days. Even on the day of the concert, he was still fighting with the trolls on Weibo.

Chu Ze really couldn't understand why Cheng Ran had nothing to do every day and wanted to fight with someone so intensely for a woman he didn't even know.

Are you not tired?
However, Cheng Ran’s response was: “Why are you tired? I have never lost when I curse at people online.”

“What about offline?”

“I’m generally more qualified offline.”

You’re afraid of being real offline, right?

What a keyboard warrior.

……

Half past five in the afternoon.

Jiangcheng Gymnasium.

An Ruo's concert will be held here in an hour. Although we arrived an hour in advance, there is already a long line in front of the stadium entrance. The huge and wide square is crowded and the crowd is noisy.

Chu Ze looked at the crowded scene in the square and felt Xia Anruo's popularity for the first time.

I have to admit that this woman's popularity is indeed undeniable.

There are indeed two brushes.

"By the way, why did you two come to An Ruo's concert?" Cheng Ran looked at Chu Ze and Lu Zihao on his left and right in silence.

You two are not An Ruo fans, why are you coming here to join in the fun?

"I haven't met a big star in real life yet. It's a rare opportunity, so it's worth taking a look." Lu Zihao chuckled.

"No, where did you get the ticket?" Cheng Ran was surprised.

Aren’t all the online tickets sold out?

"Chu Ze gave it to me." Lu Zihao pointed at Chu Ze next to him.

"You also bought tickets from him?" Cheng Ran was stunned. The ticket was two thousand yuan each.

"Buy? Why should I buy it? He gave it to me as a gift." Lu Zihao said as a matter of course.

"???"

Sent?

Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Chu Ze who was still looking at the scenery and said, "Fuck, why did I buy my ticket, but Lao Lu's ticket was given to me for free?"

It's a pity that he even recognized a father just to buy the ticket, but Old Lu didn't do anything and just got it for free.

Damn, the more I think about it, the angrier I get!
"You didn't ask me to send you off." Chu Ze said with an innocent expression.

"You didn't say you could give it to me!" Cheng Ran said angrily.

"Don't worry, buy it early and enjoy it early." Chu Ze comforted.

"What have I enjoyed?"

Can we enjoy the concert earlier?
"Didn't you enjoy the joy of getting the coveted front-stage ticket for many more days than Old Lu?" Hiss~ It seems to make sense.

Cheng Ran scratched his head.

It's broken, it seems to be growing a brain.

"Should we line up now?" Lu Zihao asked after seeing that the ticket gate was already extremely crowded.

"No hurry, wait for someone." Chu Ze shook his head.

"Who are you waiting for? Don't tell me you gave tickets to others!" Cheng Ran's eyes were sharp.

He could tolerate Lu Zihao getting something for free, after all, he was his own son.

And you told me you sent more than one person?

Believe it or not, he will hang himself here and then make you kneel down and beg him not to die.

"Don't worry, it's not someone else." Chu Ze waved his hand, signaling Cheng Ran to relax.

Cheng Ran was stunned when he heard this. It couldn't be anyone else, could it be Yu Yang?

There are only these three rebellious sons in my family.

But that's impossible. How could that two-dimensional person be interested in listening to a three-dimensional concert?

Before he could figure it out, Cheng Ran saw Chu Ze suddenly waved towards the steps not far from the square, and then a middle-aged man with a backpack walked towards them.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is my dad." Chu Ze pointed at the middle-aged man and said to Cheng Ran and Lu Zihao.

Cheng Ran and Lu Zihao were stunned for a moment, and just when they wanted to say hello, "Uncle"...

Then I heard Chu Ze say, "Quick, call grandpa."

Cheng Ran: “?”

Lu Zihao: “?”

"Dad, they are your adopted grandchildren whom you have never met." Chu Ze pointed at the two of them and introduced them to Chu Mingtao.

Chu Mingtao: “?”

Do you young people nowadays play so extravagantly?

……

On the way to the queue, Cheng Ran secretly tugged at the corner of Chu Ze's clothes, leaned close to him and whispered, "Is our dad also a fan of celebrities?"

"Don't ask me, I wonder too."

Although he has been a son for so many years, Chu Ze really doesn't know when Chu Mingtao developed this hobby.

I actually came here specially to listen to the concert.

Why didn’t I notice it before I was reborn?

"Could it be that our dad is also a fan of An Ruo?"

"possible."

When Cheng Ran heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He pushed aside Chu Ze and squeezed forward, actually getting close to Chu Mingtao and started chatting with him.

Chu Ze was confused, and Lu Zihao was also stunned.

When did Cheng Ran become so awesome? And soon they found that the two of them were reserved at the beginning, but then slowly became passionate. In the end, they held hands with gleams in their eyes, feeling that they had met too late.

Chu Ze felt something was not right the more he looked at it. Look at this situation...

Shit, I wonder if these two will become sworn brothers on the spot.

That means he really becomes the son.

Sure enough, the next second, Chu Ze heard Chu Mingtao excitedly say: "I didn't expect that you are so young, but you have so much experience. You are much better than Chu Ze, this brat. It's rare to meet a bosom friend. Young man, if you don't mind my age..."

Having said this, Chu Mingtao paused.

Chu Ze suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Oh no, my brother is going to become an uncle.

Chu Ze was about to run over to stop him when he saw Cheng Ran showing a smile that showed he had understood his plan. He said first, "Uncle, I don't mind. I'm happy to do it."

Chu Mingtao was overjoyed: "Really? That's great. I've always wanted to have a grandson as sensible as you."

Cheng Ran: “”

Are you kidding me.
