Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show

“I’ve never blamed grandpa about Lin Zhenhong and my mother,” Lin Cheng said calmly.

The old man was surprised to hear this; he looked at Lin Cheng and asked, “Then is it because of that incident 10 years ago?”

“Those things that happened to you, I wasn’t the one who ordered it,” Old man Lin said in a deep voice.

He just sat back and pretended not to see it.

Originally, the old man had hoped that Lin Cheng could return to the Lin family to inherit the family business, instead of fooling around in the entertainment circle.

At that time, Lin Cheng was exposed to various scandals and his troubles kept piling on. The old man thought that it was a good thing that this happened. If Lin Cheng was not popular in the entertainment industry, then he could use this to force him to go home.

Therefore, the old man chose to turn a blind eye to Lin Cheng’s affairs. It was not until later, when the black material had already spread, that he asked the people below to quell the incident.

Who would have thought that although Lin Cheng was blackened almost to death, he would still rather spend his time in the entertainment industry than go home to his family.

The old man could only pretend to be sick every now and then, and slowly, enterprise by enterprise, leave the affairs of the Lin family to Lin Cheng.

As expected, Lin Cheng did not disappoint the old man. He handled the affairs of the Lin family exceptionally well.

… …

Right now, facing the old man’s explanation, Lin Cheng just said calmly, “No.” 

“Then…”

“You know what I’m doing things for,” Lin Cheng said coldly.

Taking the discussion as done, Lin Cheng promptly left. Old Master Lin, who was left alone in his study, had a troubled expression on his face.

… …

Later, Butler Zhou walked in.

“The old master hasn’t said anything to the young master yet?” Butler Zhou asked.

Old Master Lin sighed.

“It’s not that easy, that kid is very stubborn.” After a pause, the old man muttered again, full of grievances, “I really don’t know who he took after.” 

Butler Zhou didn’t say anything, but he was clearly thinking in his heart, The young master’s temper is obviously like yours. He took after you!

“By the way, Zhou Xing, where did you click to get into that show you searched for me before? Why did I click to get in but there was nothing there?” 

Thinking of this, the old man held out the tablet in his hand to Butler Zhou.

“That shouldn’t be, ah. Old Master, did you click on the wrong one?”

“I just clicked on this, how can it be wrong?”

“That’s right, that’s right.” Butler Zhou approached and looked at the homepage of the livestream app.

“Then why can’t I see anything?” Old Master Lin continued to complain.

Clicking in, it was indeed pitch black, and there was nothing to see.

“Is the membership expired?” Zhou Butler rubbed his chin and wondered.

“Then what are you still talking about here, hurry up and renew it.” The old man was a little anxious.

He wanted to see that kid that Lin Cheng brought on the show.

Although Lin Cheng said that Lin Momo was not his child, the old man still had doubts about Lin Cheng’s words.

“That child looks so similar to that kid, especially when he was a child, she looks like she was carved out of the same mold, and her mouth is exactly the same as that of Lin Cheng’s mother, how could this kid not be his own…” Mr. Lin muttered.

“Why isn’t it alright? The screen is still black?”

“Does it take so long to recharge the membership?” the old man asked impatiently.

“I renewed, but it notified me that the membership has not expired, and that this is the highest annual membership.” 

""

“Then why can’t I see the show?”

“This…”

The two old men fiddled with the tablet for a long time, until—after finally calling the customer service—they learned that after the livestream ended, the video playback was automatically closed.

… … 

On the other side of the city, Lin Cheng returned to his apartment.

Sitting in the study, Lin Cheng’s eyes fell on the sheets of paper containing Lin Momo’s ‘personal information’ that Chen Yu had prepared for him before.

Knowing that these set of information about Lin Momo were all probably fake, Lin Cheng suddenly lost interest in looking through it.

A few minutes later, Lin Cheng called Chen Yu.

Lin Cheng asked Chen Yu for Lin Momo’s real information.

“Real information?” Chen Yu was a little surprised. After all, in his perception, Lin Cheng was not one to care about such insignificant things.

“I have some here, but it’s not a lot…” Chen Yu said, and most of them were provided to him by Lin Cheng’s former manager.

“Send it to my email,” Lin Cheng said without listening to any nonsense.

“Ah, okay, I’ll look for it and send it to you right away.”

After a pause, Chen Yu said again, “Also, Brother Cheng, at 7:00 tonight, the first episode of [Living with Dad] will be aired simultaneously on Chengzi Channel and iWO. There is also a trailer… anyway, you can watch it when you have time,” Chen Yu reminded more out of duty than any thought that Lin Cheng would be interested.

Chen Yu thought that the other party would directly throw out a sentence along the lines of ‘I’m not free’, but Lin Cheng actually responded agreeably. “Okay, I will watch.” 

“… Okay, then! I won’t bother Brother Cheng anymore.”

… …

Lin Cheng soon received the information from Chen Yu in his email.

He clicked to open it, and there really was very little information about Lin Momo in it.

[Lin Momo, 9 years old, was picked up by Zhang Cuifang nine years ago and raised by her side. During the subsequent census, with the help of community workers and the police station, Lin Momo was registered as a permanent resident.]

[Currently, Lin Momo and Zhang Cuifang live in unit No. 17 of a tenement building in 57 Taiping Lane. They rely on the social security money issued by the community and the income from selling scrap materials. Lin Momo studies in Taiping Road Primary School.]

[Zhang Cuifang also has a 30-year-old son who is unemployed.]

Seeing the last item, Lin Cheng frowned.

At this time, the phone’s alarm sounded: [7 o’clock.]

Earlier, while waiting for the email, Lin Cheng set an event reminder—according to Chen Yu, the first preview will go live at 7 o’clock.

After exiting the email, Lin Cheng opened the Chengzi app.

A familiar melody sounded—the theme song of [Living with Dad] was playing on the screen.
