Huayu: Brother, I'm having such a great time!

Chapter 50 Daddy!

After Mao Xiaotong finished speaking, she didn't give Xu Jingxing a chance to refuse and walked towards the hotel on her own.

This girl seems like a completely different person.

Xu Jingxing sighed softly and silently followed behind her.

Fortunately, it's quite late now, and most of the crew members have returned. Otherwise, this farce at the door would probably have become the topic of conversation at dinner parties for the next two weeks.

As he reached the door, Xu Jingxing took out two packs of Marlboro cigarettes he had just bought from his pocket and stuffed them into the doorman's pocket.

Xu Jingxing did not go back to the room with Mao Xiaotong directly. Instead, he took the other half of the elevator back to his floor and then carefully walked down the stairs.

During a casual chat earlier today, Xu Jingxing overheard Han Dong mentioning that paparazzi had already infiltrated and were staking out their hotel.

Although their focus is definitely on the main actors like Fan Bingbing, they still need to be careful, otherwise it wouldn't be good if they accidentally appeared on camera.

After confirming that no one was around, Xu Jingxing went to Mao Xiaotong's door.

The door wasn't locked.

Xu Jingxing knocked lightly on the door a few times, then pushed it open and went inside.

Mao Xiaotong was in the bathroom. When she came out, her face was still wet, obviously she had just washed her face.

"Brother Jingxing, take off your shirt first, I'll help you wash it."

Mao Xiaotong wiped her face as she walked towards Xu Jing.

"It's alright, look, it's all dried."

Xu Jingxing tugged at his clothes.

The clothes on my shoulders were indeed dry, but they had dried after being soaked with tears and snot, so they felt stiff to the touch.

"Let me wash it for you and then use a hairdryer to dry it; it'll be dry quickly."

After Mao Xiaotong finished speaking, she reached out to take off Xu Jingxing's shirt.

"No, no, no, Xiaotong, you really don't need to." Xu Jingxing backed away repeatedly.

"Now you know how to be shy!" Mao Xiaotong blushed and scolded playfully.

Sigh, it seems there's really no way to explain this.

"Xiaotong, wait a minute."

Xu Jingxing grabbed Mao Xiaotong's arm and pressed her down into the chair.

"Was that man today your father?"

"Mm." Mao Xiaotong nodded gently.

Mao-Li Dynasty? Mao-Li Chao?

Xu Jingxing felt something was strange, but then he thought about it and realized that his father's name actually had a scientific basis.

The fur does get damp quite often...

When her father was mentioned, Mao Xiaotong's eyes instantly welled up with tears again.

Seeing Mao Xiaotong's expression, Xu Jingxing cursed himself inwardly for bringing up such a sore subject, and quickly tried to change the subject.

After thinking it over and over, not knowing what to say, he could only turn to Mao Xiaotong and say:

"Why don't you do my laundry?"

After saying that, he stood up and was about to take off his shirt.

As a result, I forgot that I was wearing a polo shirt today. In my haste to take it off, I forgot to unbutton the collar, and the whole shirt ended up stuck around my neck.

The more anxious he became, the harder it was to take it off. Finally, with a final effort, the buttons on the collar popped open with a soft "pop".

However, the clothes were successfully removed.

Seeing Xu Jingxing's comical appearance, Mao Xiaotong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Well, this button has served its purpose.

Mao Xiaotong picked up the button that had fallen to the ground, took out her sewing kit from her box, found a thread that was similar in color to the clothes Xu Jingxing was wearing, took the clothes, and started sewing them for him.

"You have quite a complete set of things here," Xu Jingxing said, trying to make conversation.

"Hmm." Mao Xiaotong said while sewing, "The props and costumes in the group often get damaged, so I prepared some thread. I sew up any tears that are broken."

"You're quite skillful with your hands. Those prop costumes are different from ordinary clothes; they're quite time-consuming to sew."

Most of the props and costumes are ancient costumes. Some armor or court attire are made with heavy craftsmanship, and they really can't be repaired without some skill.

"It was trained from a young age."

Mao Xiaotong paused what she was doing, seemingly recalling something, then continued what she was doing after a while, saying:

"When I was little, my mother would take on some handicrafts when she had free time. I didn't want her to be too tired, so I would do them with her."

When Xu Jingxing heard her say this, he figured that her family must not have been well-off when she was young.

"Your mother has had a tough time."

"Yes, my mother raised me on her own."

Xu Jingxing thought of the man who had just verbally abused her. "What about your father?"

"They divorced when I was two years old."

"So he's never taken care of you?"

Mao Xiaotong shook her head. "I only met him for the first time at the beginning of this year, as far back as I can remember."

"He really is a scoundrel."

As soon as he said it, Xu Jingxing realized that he shouldn't have said it. After all, he was Mao Xiaotong's biological father, and it was indeed inappropriate to say such a thing.

Just as I was about to apologize, Mao Xiaotong nodded unexpectedly, "He really is a scoundrel."

After the clothes were sewn up, Xu Jingxing was about to take them when Mao Xiaotong clutched them tightly in her hand, showing no intention of returning them to him.

Thinking that it wasn't really appropriate for him to be shirtless, he had no choice but to pick up the bed runner and put it on himself.

Mao Xiaotong continued, "Not long after I was born, he abandoned me in a trash can because he disliked that I was a girl. It was my mother who picked me up."

At this point, Mao Xiaotong's tears flowed involuntarily again.

"How could he do that?" Xu Jingxing gritted his teeth in anger.

He was now filled with regret, wishing he had kicked him earlier.

No, he should be slapped twice in the face.

"Later, he went to jail for alcoholism, gambling, and drug use, and my mother and I got rid of him. My mother also divorced him."

Mao Xiaotong gripped Xu Jingxing's clothes even tighter, as if she were using them as an outlet for her anger. "Later, my mother helped me change my surname to hers and we moved house, wanting to completely sever ties with him."

Okay, no one would call him Maurichao.

"So has he found you again?" Xu Jingxing asked.

Mao Xiaotong nodded with tears streaming down her face, then broke down in tears, unable to control herself any longer.

Xu Jingxing hurriedly got up, picked up some toilet paper and handed it to her. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to start. So he stood next to her, put his arm around her waist, and let her vent her grievances for a while.

After a while, Mao Xiaotong's crying gradually stopped, and Xu Jingxing unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to her.

After drinking the water, Mao Xiaotong kept pinching her palm with her right thumb, as if recalling some unpleasant past events. Xu Jingxing was afraid that she would hurt herself, so he quickly took her hand in his.

Feeling the warmth from Xu Jingxing's hand, Mao Xiaotong composed herself and continued, "At the beginning of this year, I had just finished my professional exams and returned to school. When I got out of school, he followed me home."

"He's not human!" Mao Xiaotong was almost hysterical. "He ransacked the house, demanding money from my mom. When she didn't give him any, he beat me and my mom. But my mom had already spent all the money she had saved for my exams, so where would she get any more money?"

"He threatened my mom that if she didn't give him money, he would cause trouble at my school. My mom wanted me to focus on the college entrance exam so she could sell our house and give him the money to get rid of him."

"Heh, he's a bottomless pit. How could he stop just as he got a taste of success?" Xu Jingxing sneered.

"That's what I thought too. I didn't want the house that my mom had worked so hard to save up for half her life to be given to that scumbag so easily. So, I took a leave of absence from school and ran away."

"And then you ended up here?"

"Mm!" Mao Xiaotong nodded.
