My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 159 The Day I Met the Moon

Top male celebrity who denies his biological mother after becoming famous

[Male celebrity with the surname C becomes famous but forgets his roots, disowns his biological mother]

The stepfather angrily rebuked Chi Yuan for being unfilial.

……

Just after midnight, news broke that Chi Yuan did not acknowledge his biological mother, dominating the trending searches.

The crew was shaken again. Although everyone was discussing it, the situation was much better than before.

Now everyone can see that someone is deliberately messing with Chi Yuan.

Even Director Yang was getting a little annoyed. He called out to the boy who was staring blankly into the distance, "Chi Yuan."

Chi Yuan, who was watching the news, snapped out of his daze a beat later and apologized with a face full of shame: "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble again."

Did I cause any trouble? Yes, I definitely caused some trouble.

As the lead actor, constantly being embroiled in such negative news is extremely irresponsible, and even if it wasn't Chi Yuan's intention, he cannot escape responsibility. If "Eternal Life" weren't nearing completion, even if he admired Chi Yuan, he would have replaced him at this point.

But the drama was almost finished filming, and it was too late to replace the actor. Complaining was useless. The only thing to do was to pray that Chi Yuan could get through this crisis smoothly.

"Is what's said online true?" Director Yang asked directly. He didn't try to lower his voice, and everyone around him couldn't help but look over.

Chi Yuan's face paled. Director Yang had trusted him during the previous "unspoken rules" incident, so he hadn't asked about it, but this time he did.

"Things aren't like what's said online, my mom and I..."

"Alright." Director Yang interrupted Chi Yuan's explanation. The film crew wasn't entirely safe, and he was afraid that Chi Yuan's words would be taken out of context and posted online. "Since you say it's not true, then I'll believe you."

A single word of belief brought tears to Chi Yuan's eyes instantly.

Director Yang used a character from the drama to advise him: "Xu Changsheng has to undergo a tribulation before each time he improves his strength, just like your current situation. As long as you successfully overcome the tribulation, you can ascend. Hang in there, the rumors will eventually be cleared up."

Chi Yuan nodded emphatically and hummed in agreement.

Director Yang: "President Jiang just messaged me, saying he'll handle this matter and that we can focus on filming. Since he said that, let's trust him and wait for him to resolve it. I'm letting you go home early tonight to rest, and I hope you'll come back in top condition tomorrow. Let's not have our filming fall apart after President Jiang has resolved the issue."

Chi Yuan rubbed his eyes hard with the back of his hand and made a firm promise: "I will adjust my state."

On the way back to the hotel, Xiao Zhao kept grumbling and cursing the man in the video who was distorting the truth.

"This guy is disgusting. He's never even met you, yet he has the nerve to claim you're his father. If he'd ever raised you even for a single day..."

In the leaked video, it's Gao Wanfu, the current husband of Chi Yuan's mother, who is constantly speaking. He claims that after Chi Yuan became famous, he deleted the contact information of his biological mother and younger brother, fearing they would cling to him. He says Chi Yuan's mother tried various methods to find him: sending private messages on Weibo, having his agency stake out him, picking him up at the airport, and even once being knocked to the ground by a crowd, which Chi Yuan clearly saw but pretended not to notice and walked away.

After a whole host of accusations were leveled against him, they started to berate Chi Yuan for being unfilial, saying how hard Chi Yuan's mother had worked to give birth to him, and that it would have been better to give birth to a piece of barbecued pork instead.

His words were vicious and his expression was ferocious, which almost made Xiao Zhao smash his phone.

"Why is it only him who speaks out? Why doesn't his wife speak up? They're obviously guilty. This family..." Xiao Zhao cursed excitedly, but then he thought that although the other party wasn't a good person, it was still inappropriate to curse the mother in front of the son, so he reluctantly shut his mouth.

Chi Yuan had also seen the news online. To be honest, he wasn't too sad, just a little surprised. He was more worried that his situation might implicate others.

He and his mother weren't actually very close.

He had never seen her since he was a child. He had never had a mother since he could remember. The villagers all said that she had run away with someone. He was too young then to understand what it meant to run away with someone, nor did he really understand the difference between having a mother and not having one.

He was raised by his grandmother from a young age, but she didn't really like him because his father worked away from home all year round and almost never sent money back. When his grandmother was in a bad mood, she would always scold him, saying that she was getting old and that other people had sons to take care of them in their old age, but she still had to raise her son's son.

Despite scolding him, his grandmother would still feed him. Although he sometimes didn't get enough to eat, Chi Yuan didn't dislike his grandmother.

He met Mr. Jiang when he was in junior high school. At that time, he was selling snacks on the film set. The older brothers and sisters on the set would tell him a lot about the outside world and that as long as he got into university and left the mountains, his world would be different.

He had excellent grades; he could understand the material after the teacher explained it only once, and he always ranked first in his class. At that time, he lacked confidence in everything, but he was confident about taking the college entrance exam.

He was confident that he would get into university.

But in his third year of junior high, his father came back.

He was sixteen years old, but he had only met his father a few times. He was a stranger to this man and had no intention of getting along with him. He thought that his father would stay at home for a few months at most and then leave again, but that time something unexpected happened.

In the last two years of junior high, the school cafeteria was donated by kind-hearted people, and students could eat for free. During those two years, he ate his fill and grew very fast. By the time he graduated from junior high, he was almost 1.75 meters tall, taller than his father when standing.

He knew his family couldn't afford to send him to high school, but the school offered subsidies to students from impoverished families, so he planned to work a summer job to earn some living expenses. However, his father wouldn't allow it, saying he was already quite grown up and should start earning money to support him.

He naturally wouldn't agree; he wanted to go to university.

One night, he overheard his father talking to some men from out of town about selling him to work abroad. There were three or four strong men there, and a van parked outside. He knew he would be arrested if he didn't run away, so he ran away under the cover of night.

His father discovered he had run away and told the village chief that he had run away from home after a fight with his family. Fearing something might happen to him, the chief mobilized the entire village to search for him.

He ran alone in the mountains for more than two hours without even a flashlight, running on the dark mountain road, too afraid to even go onto the road. Later, the sounds chasing him gradually subsided, and only then did he dare to approach the main road, where he tripped over a stone and tumbled down the hillside.

It was around that time that he met Mr. Jiang.

He recognized him immediately when he got into the car.

"Kid, running away from home?" I've grown so tall, but this person hasn't changed at all.

"Brother Jiang, didn't we run into a group of villagers looking for a child on the road earlier? They're probably looking for this one. Should we take him back?"

Hearing Mr. Jiang's assistant say this, he was so frightened that he kept shaking his head and begging them not to send him back: "Don't send me back, my dad is going to sell me."

Most people wouldn't believe this, not even the village chief. They didn't think a biological father would sell his own son, especially since he was his only son.

Sure enough, the assistant said, "You're so old, where can you sell yourself? Hurry back, a lot of people are looking for you, they're afraid you've fallen into a ravine."

Then he turned back to Mr. Jiang and said, "Brother Jiang, let's not get involved in this kind of thing. Things are different in China and abroad. If the child gets lost, his family might try to hold you responsible."

Chi Yuan didn't know how to explain. He didn't want to go back, so he tried to pry open the door and jump out of the car, but Mr. Jiang stopped him.

Chi Yuan still remembers that conversation.

After staring at his feet for a while, Mr. Jiang asked him, "Where are you going?"

Chi Yuan: "The provincial capital."

Mr. Jiang: "It's on my way."

Mr. Jiang's assistant tried to stop him, saying that bad people come from poor and remote areas, but Mr. Jiang simply asked him, "If I take you there, will you try to extort money from me?"

Chi Yuan shook his head: "No."

Mr. Jiang: "What are you going to the provincial capital for?"

Chi Yuan: "Go find my mother."

Mr. Jiang: "Why are you looking for your mother?"

Chi Yuan: "I need to borrow money to go to high school. I want to go to university."

After he finished speaking, Mr. Jiang fell silent.

Later, he got hungry. He had only eaten a sweet potato for dinner and had been running for several hours on mountain roads. His stomach was growling with hunger. Mr. Jiang didn't say anything, but just took a hamburger from the insulated box and gave it to him.

"This is all we have on the bus, just something to tide us over."

That was the first time Chi Yuan had ever eaten a hamburger, and it was also the best hamburger he had ever eaten.

It was a very dark night, but he still saw the moon.

As dawn approached, the car arrived in the provincial capital. Mr. Jiang gave him a pair of shoes and five hundred yuan, saying:

"Kid, I hope the next time I see you, you'll be wearing your high school uniform."

Such a beautiful blessing, yet he ultimately couldn't wear it.

Chi Yuan's gaze shifted from the dark window to the woman's photo on his phone.

That was the address he had finally managed to get from his grandmother.

The woman, wearing a pretty dress, was holding the hand of a seven or eight-year-old boy. As she passed by him, she gave him a disdainful look.

After he stopped her and introduced himself, the woman's disgust turned into fear.

She said she had finally gotten rid of that man and was afraid that her appearance would disrupt her new family and bring back her ex-husband, whom she had finally managed to escape. She cried and begged him to leave her life.

He agreed, and the woman gave him ten yuan to take a bus home.

He didn't go back, nor did he go to school; he just drifted around outside.

With 510 yuan in his hands, he glanced at the GG sign next to him, feeling lost and helpless.

Above are Mr. Jiang's warm and clean eyes.

I can't wear my high school uniform anymore, but I want to see you again.
