“Mr. Huo, you're a smart person. Let's not beat around the bush. I know your company's public relations capabilities. Even if my daughter doesn't appear, you can definitely deal with this small matter.”

“So you're saying that your daughter, the victim she saved, can't testify and clarify because of your own selfishness? Ling Sheng deserves to be criticized?”

“That's not the case. However, I think you know better than me who's more important. Ling Sheng is just a small celebrity of your company. There's no need for you to fall out with the Song Family over a small celebrity!” Song Jing could not understand what Huo Ci meant. Was he willing to settle this privately or not? He was angered by his arrogant att.i.tude, but he could not flare up.

“Song Jing, for the sake of your ridiculous reputation, your daughter can ignore the fact that her savior has been criticized. My daughter deserves to be criticized by those internet trolls and keyboard warriors, right?” Huo Ci smiled sarcastically, unable to control the anger he was suppressing.

As he spoke, he exerted force with his fingers, causing the phone screen to deform instantly.

Okay!

Great!

Song Jing's daughter was human, but someone else's daughter was not?

Song Jing did not react immediately, but he looked at Huo Ci in shock. Daughter? What daughter was he talking about? “What do you mean, Mr. Huo?”

Huo Ci's feet landed on the table in front of him arrogantly with a bang. There was a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of danger and arrogance. “So, other than your brain being useless, your ears aren't working either?”

Song Jing, on the other hand, did not have much of an expression on his face. His a.s.sistant was so scared by Huo Ci's sudden actions that he s.h.i.+vered. He subconsciously wanted to protect him. When he realized what he had said, his face turned ashen.

Daughter?

Best Actor Huo had said he had a daughter? Ling Sheng? That was impossible!

“Huo Ci, watch your words and att.i.tude!” Song Jing was annoyed. His anger, which had been ignored for so long, was rising. “Sixth Master Huo, you're impressive, but I'm not someone to be trifled with!”

“Okay, let's wait and see.” Huo Ci smiled. When he stood up, he picked up the doc.u.ment he had given him and threw it on his face. “How dare you come and negotiate with me with this little thing? She's my daughter. Do you think I lack these meager resources? You think I care about that bit of triviality? If she requests it, I can get the whole Huo Family!”

Song Jing had not expected him to not give him any face. Since they had already fallen out, he did not have to worry so much. “I didn't expect Best Actor Huo to have an illegitimate daughter. What do you think will happen if the whole country finds out that Ling Sheng is your illegitimate daughter? Do you want to continue working in the entertainment circle? Do you want your reputation?”

Fine, they could shed all pretense of cordiality. Then, they'd see who would be affected the most. Since he had not publicized his relations.h.i.+p with Ling Sheng, that meant that he cared a lot about his reputation and did not dare publicize it.

“That depends on whether you have the ability to do that.” Huo Ci had not expected him to provoke him first and threaten him!
