The King's Game

Chapter 101

Chapter 101

Yesterday, the headlines were dominated by the black news of an upcoming artist. Today, that was completely overshadowed by family news. It had to be said that some people were happy while others were upset about it.

Like on Jingcen’s side, she was eager to keep the family news hot for a longer time, so that she and the PR team in the company could get some relief.

This happened the day after the youth had been targeted. In Jingcen’s view, it was a good example of someone giving them pillows to sleep on.

Compared to Jingcen’s happy face, the team receiving money and handling affairs were very upset. As a result, it was difficult for them to divert the attention of the netizens back to the false news.

It could only be said that the other was too lucky. If no such event attracted the attention of the masses, the black material they had made up could further expand their influence.

It was impossible to regain momentum now. What they did was similar to Engagement Marketing. How could they not see that the overwhelming coverage of the Gu family news was the result of the other party directly paying all the major media.

As far as the momentum was concerned, they couldn’t afford it. Some media couldn’t be bought even if they had money. They had to maintain a relationship. Anyway, they had finished the task with their original rhythm and splashed dirty water. This kind of emergency was not in the scope of their calculations. No wonder they didn’t try their best.

The curiosity of the masses was completely aroused. Since today’s major media reported the same thing, but still didn’t tell them who the protagonist of the story was, the people with melons in their hands that were ready to eat a few mouthfuls felt like a cat’s claw was scratching their hearts, but they couldn’t find out the truth.

There was nothing to follow. Melon eaters said it was difficult for them to even discuss and guess who the little Phoenix was. However, in connection with the events of the last two days, someone had raised a new topic by combining it.

Pippi Fish: “Both sides are surnamed Gu, but the difference is too big. One side is really a noble family, and the other side is just ... It’s a pity that those fans who took the trouble to support him, I guess it’s awkward for them now.”

It’s just a small sign: “You’ve lost your face, so say nothing, don’t flaunt it to anyone. It’s fun to have people fall apart. Of course, there will be a lot of fans who will continue to pretend not to see.”

Radish Rabbit: “Don’t set a person up one at a time. Some fans flattered him after watching the TV series, but what happened to their favorite artist on Weibo?! I hope some people who are slandering others will keep their mouths shut.”

Ryan Meng: “You guys are so impressive, I’m going to die. You can even turn being an orphan into a bad thing. Do you want me to reward you guys with a little red flower? With all due respect, people who tell stories about other people’s origins are very low, and not everyone is lucky to be born with a golden spoon. I like my family’s Ah Huai because he is good-looking, and his acting skills are especially good, which has nothing to do with his family background.”

A grain of rice: “Gu Huai was born an orphan, and the Gu family just found their lost child today. You see, his family name is Gu. Maybe Gu Huai is really the little phoenix who lived outside of the family.”

There were still a lot of melon eaters who were bored who watched this new topic. There was no shortage of people who joined in the fun. When the melon eaters saw the last comment, they could see at a glance that they were mocking them. Apart from the fans going to fight back, the melon eaters didn’t feel much about the last Weibo comment at that time.

Until a few days later, a new piece of information showed them what a divine prophecy was.

It was impossible to guess who the protagonist of the event was. People who were intrigued could only focus on the “Banquet” mentioned in the news about the family.

After finding their family member in exile, the Gu family immediately called all the media to make it big news, to attract the public’s attention. They could only imagine that the banquet would be very grand.

In line with the people’s conjecture, other aristocratic families received invitations to dinner that night, and people from all walks of life who had worked with their family were also invited.

At the beginning, Gu Huai didn’t know the relationship between the family and himself. He was just as curious as other melon eaters to see the news which suddenly covered the headlines of various media overnight, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. Until a group of black balls squeaked at him and told him to attend the family dinner two days later.

“Squeak...” The four black balls on the youth’s shoulders opened their dark red eyes, looked away from the young man briefly, and glanced at the black balls that were larger than them.

During the time when their comrades left, the four black balls pondered a question they had been puzzled about before and got the right answer.

It must be for the sake of getting close to the King that these fellow Nightmares around pretended to be cubs. After thinking about it, the four black balls suddenly felt that they should learn this. They didn’t need to shape shift at all.

It was not so easy to become a human being to be able to touch and hug the king. Considering this, the four black balls had no enthusiasm for the transformation. The human form was not good at all. It was not as good as now, when they had no hands or legs. They could get close to their king at will.

“Squeak.” They hadn’t seen their king for nearly one day. After they finished the work, they rushed back to the youth’s side. This group of black balls seemed to have missed the youth. Now they were looking at the youth and checking if their king was willing to hold them.

Transformed from one of the melon eaters to the protagonist of the incident, Gu Huai was still stunned by his unexpected identity change. After hearing the squeaking of the black balls around him, he couldn’t help jumping with them.

“Do you want me to... attend a family dinner in two days?” Although it had been clearly spoken by the black balls, Gu Huai could not refrain from asking again.

What was the development of the plot? Were these black balls in his family so popular in the human world?

As one of the melon eaters, of course, Gu Huai also saw the popular rumours about the Gu family on Weibo. There was no doubt that they were a well-known family. But then it came to the fact that all the family members were black coal balls. That was to say, the entire family. In fact, the more than ten generations of people that came and left were the same group of Nightmares.

“Squeak!” Hearing the youth’s question, the black coal balls, which were lining up to rub against the youth’s arms, responded one after another with a little cheerfulness in their voices.

It could be announced publicly that the youth was a child of their family, which was very pleasing. They could also give the youth their registered permanent residence, which was even more pleasing.

After understanding the ideas expressed by the black balls, Gu Huai chuckled a little and was buried by a group of black balls.

It wasn’t hard for Gu Huai to understand that his family wanted to support him. Gu Huai had always lacked resistance to this kind of assistance.

After staring for a while, the young man finally raised his hand to hold them. The black coal balls at the youth’s side opened their round eyes and squeaked happily.

In order to spare the youth a long journey, the banquet’s location was in C city since the Gu family also had several manor villas in C city.

Although it was a matter of recognizing one’s family, it was a matter that had attracted the attention of countless passers-by under a general momentum. On the day of the family’s banquet, there were a lot of people waiting to refresh their Weibo and eat melons for the first time.

A number of well-known media people were invited to the party. It could be seen that the Gu family totally held an attitude of letting more people know their child as much as possible.

He was directly related by blood. The Gu family paid so much attention on purpose. This little Phoenix... Was he going to inherit the family?

Feeling like they had caught onto something amazing, several media people invited to the party had begun to think about how to write their report tonight.

As the protagonist of today’s banquet, Gu Huai was still in the room on the second floor of the villa. Because it was an important banquet to introduce his identity, the casual clothes that Gu Huai liked to wear was not suitable for this occasion, so Gu Huai wore formal clothes today.

The young man’s body was tall and long and looked like it belonged to a model. Wearing a properly cut black suit, his legs were slender and straight, which was very nice to look at. In addition, the youth had a beautiful appearance, which was a natural advantage that could not be ignored.

“King... Well, young master, I’ll take you there now.” On this occasion, they had to change back to human form. The Nightmare clan changed the name and used the title of “young master” for their king.

Gu Huai nodded and got up from his seat to follow the black ball which had changed back to his human form. The Yan family also received invitations, so his family’s Chu Chu was now in the hall below.

At the end of the opening speech of the banquet, the invited guests in the villa hall were basically waiting for the protagonist of the banquet to show his face. And before long, they saw a young man led by the Gu family from the second floor of the villa.

But when they really saw what the main character looked like, all the media invited to the party were stunned, even a little confused. It was obvious that they had recognized the young man in front of them.

So what, who could tell them how were they going to write this press release?!

At this level of stupefying drama, it was hard to ask them not to write shocking news——
