Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 217: Shao Qihai Is Dead Again?

The five children of the family were all very good-looking, so the reporter took many photos of them.

The reporter casually snapped photos of them but subconsciously ignored Shao Qihai, who was next to them. When the reporter turned around and saw Shao Qihai constantly appearing in the photos, he even complained inwardly that he was in the way. “Why is he always there?” Although Shao Qihai was very pleasing to the eye and looked nice in the same frame, this wasn’t what the reporter wanted.

The reporter didn’t expect him to be the children’s father. Because Little Bei and Xiao Wu only mentioned their mother and had not said a word about their father, everyone subconsciously ignored their father.

When the reporter took a closer look at the photos, he realized that Shao Xi and Shao Nan looked very familiar. The more he looked at them, the more familiar they looked. Upon closer inspection, he realized these two were the young geniuses.

Shao Xi rarely appeared, but it was possible to find out information about him due to the fact that he had already published a book at such a young age.

There was no need to mention Shao Nan. During this period of time, everyone had come to know about this little prodigy. Many parents religiously tuned in to the program with their children, wanting their kids to learn from Shao Nan. Shao Nan had become that kid parents compared their kids to, a nightmare for many school-age children.

They hadn’t known until now. So, it turned out that they were siblings?

These four children were heaven-defying, weren’t they? A television station reporter quickly went to find out about the children’s situation, then rushed to report it as a front-page story.

In order to be the first media outlet to report this, this reporter hadn’t actually done comprehensive research. Or rather, he hadn’t obtained the latest news. Therefore, according to the report, Mu Jingzhe, who was a stepmother, wouldn’t remarry for the sake of those children, who weren’t related to her by blood, and had taken care of them without any complaints. This was also why they liked their mother so much.

This report was really touching. After it was published, the other media outlets also reported on this upon seeing it. Hence, other newspapers, magazines, and radio stations all published similar reports.

The theme was that the children were pitiful. First, they had lost their mother and then their father. Fortunately, they had a good stepmother. It was a touching story about how they’d become successful and thanked their stepmother.

Shao Qihai: “…”

No, he had returned alive. He was still alive. Hey, he wasn’t dead yet.

Although Shao Qihai was still alive, he was reported dead in media publications. The first reporter didn’t update the news in time, causing everyone to think so. In addition, the children had never mentioned their father and were always talking about their mother, so they naturally felt that their father was gone.

Say, would the children have done that if their father was alive? No one detected a problem.

Shao Qihai saw reports of his death everywhere. The villagers were also curious to know how he had died again. Helplessly, he called the news agency and told them that he was still alive and they should not write that he was dead.

The newspaper agency representative sneered. “You’re Shao Bei and the other kids’ father? Yeah, right. And I’m your grandfather. You should know what line of work we’re in. How dare you lie to us?”

The person who answered the phone said he had seen this kind of prank too many times before sneering and hanging up without hesitation.

Shao Qihai: “Wait, I’m telling the truth!” The call had already been hung up.

Shao Qihai was feeling extremely helpless. Actually, there was another way to correct the report, and that was by getting the children to say something. As long as they said something, all these problems would be solved. But judging by the children’s attitude, he felt that he should just forget about it.

Before Shao Qihai could correct them and declare that he was still alive, the media had already turned the page and stopped talking about him. The reports started to focus heavily on the five children. The reports on the children attracted countless people’s envy, jealousy, and hatred. Mu Jingzhe, as a mother, also became an object of envy for many people.

The only lame one was probably Shao Dong, the eldest son. Every single one of his younger siblings was very promising, and it seemed as if he was the only ordinary one.

After reading the reports, many people said that it would be great if their older brother could become successful too.

However, after a long time, they realized that they were too naive. Who was ordinary-looking? He was simply a hidden bomb that could scare people to death.

He wasn’t ordinary. With such younger siblings, how could he be ordinary?

The newspapers went crazy reporting this.

The five kids were left speechless when they read the news.

They had won an award and fervently confessed their love for their mother, and Shao Qihai hadn’t even revealed his face, so they were really happy. However, this period was really subtle.

Their plan to pretend to be ordinary seemed to have completely failed.

Li Zhaodi didn’t understand the troubles of the five children at all. She was only focused on being happy, especially since Little Bei and Xiao Wu had praised Mu Jingzhe so much. She felt that she hadn’t doted on the children for nothing.

Because of the news reports on them winning an award, the movie became popular for a period of time and would soon be broadcast on the television station’s movie channel.

Li Zhaodi had previously said that she wanted to invite the villagers to watch it. In the past, it had not worked, but this time, it did. Taking advantage of this lively atmosphere, she immediately invited a movie theater owner to the village. Furthermore, they agreed to play it for three days straight.

When the news spread, the people of Great Eastern Village prepared to take their seats. When the people of other villages, such as Little Eastern Village, heard this, they also rushed over to watch.

Knowing that Little Bei was from Great Eastern Village, the people from other villages were very interested. Although the people from Great Eastern Village often saw Little Bei, they were still very keen to watch the movie. However, they wouldn’t lose face in front of the villagers from other villages. They had a firm disposition and they stuck out their chests as they told everyone.

“Since they’re busy now, there’s no need to specifically visit Little Bei. They’ll come when the movie is released. You guys can look at her or even talk to her then. But remember not to get too close. She’s our big star, so she’s not someone you can touch easily.”

Everyone was sensible. After saying that proudly, they definitely wouldn’t take these people to the Shao Residence. When someone went to look for Little Bei, they even stopped them to prevent them from doing anything overboard.

Because the villagers automatically took up the roles of assistants and bodyguards, Mu Jingzhe and the others weren’t affected. Although they had already gone to the cinema to watch the film, since it was released in the village this time, Mu Jingzhe and the others still had to go see it again.

Hence, they ate earlier and prepared to leave with their stools.

“Mom, Grandma said that we don’t have to bring the stools. She specifically brought a superstar’s seat and put it in the middle and even laid a cushion for us and Little Bei. She told us we can just go over to watch the movie. No one is snatching the seats from us.”

Mu Jingzhe laughed out loud. “Alright, then I won’t bring one. Your grandmother is cute, right?”

Li Zhaodi was really giving them the treatment of a movie star attending her movie screening at a theater.

“Cute. When everyone heard that Little Bei is going, they got busy snatching the seats beside her. They said that they are waiting for us and they will start playing the movie when we get there.”

“Let’s go then.” Mu Jingzhe and the five children packed up and set off. However, when they reached the door, they noticed that Shao Qihai had not followed them.

“You’re not going to watch it?” This was Little Bei’s movie.

Shao Qihai coughed. “You guys go ahead. I’ll come over in a while.”

Mu Jingzhe frowned. The movie was about to start. She was ready to say something when Little Bei stopped her. “Let’s go, Mommy. He doesn’t like watching movies.”

Little Bei glanced at Shao Qihai. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t disappointed. Her tone was calm, but she had actually hoped that Shao Qihai would make an exception for her.

In the end, he had still disappointed her.
