Chapter 584 - 465: The Scandal’s Out—Even Dad Knows!
"Am I sick? I don’t know, but I know certain brat, who might want a bit of a beating!"
A shout came from the other end of the phone.
Chen Mu opened his eyes, his mind completely clear, "Old, old man?!"
"I’m an old man, not an ancient old man!" Hearing the energetic voice on the other end, Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Mu: "Judging by your tone, it’s at least not bad news."
"Hehehe!!!" Out of nowhere, the old man on the other end of the phone suddenly let out a sinister laugh.
Just when Chen Mu felt puzzled.
The old man unconsciously lowered his voice and conspiratorially asked, "You rascal, tell me honestly, when are you planning to get married?"
"I’ve already started preparing the invitations for you, your girlfriend seems very busy with work, and looks like she’s not in the best health, so I’ll invite some top traditional Chinese medicine doctors to your wedding, introduce them to your girlfriend."
"This way you can ensure that wherever she faints, there will be a doctor to save her life."
Chen Mu: "..."
After a moment of speechlessness, Chen Mu cautiously spoke, "Old man, did this girlfriend of mine, who I haven’t even met, somehow offend you?"
The old man snorted on the other end of the phone, "You kid, still being stubborn at this point!"
"Now on every major social media platform, your couple videos are all over the trending lists!"
"So many old friends called me this morning, asking when you two are getting married!"
"But you, hanging around with that little girl every day, and still telling me you haven’t met your own girlfriend!"
"I can understand that young people need their space when dating, but you can’t keep the older generation in the dark like blind fools, not knowing anything!"
Chen Mu: "..."
Grabbing onto a key term, Chen Mu.
Yawning as he got out of bed.
Found the tablet in the living room, and opened the trending lists on all major social platforms.
Looking at them.
Many netizens were spreading rumors about him and Bingbing, shipping them as a couple.
They even analyzed it confidently.
He was willing to spend his off-duty time with Bingbing just to watch the fun, it must be because he and Bingbing had privately decided to be together for life long ago.
But because Bingbing is a celebrity, afraid of public opinion.
They just haven’t gone public yet.
And this wasn’t even the most ridiculous speculation.
About his and Bingbing’s ’relationship’.
There was even someone claiming they were an insider from the show’s production team.
They said this season’s [School Doctor] theme was tailored just for Bingbing’s boyfriend.
Hoping to announce the relationship without netizens saying Chen Mu is just a school doctor, not good enough for her.
This was a divinely orchestrated event just for Chen Mu, but unexpectedly fragile college students stole the spotlight.
What’s most speechless for Chen Mu was.
Those fragile university students at the school really were easily swayed.
Each one was seriously reflecting under the trending topic.
If their existence really stole Chen Mu’s spotlight.
Not only that.
Chen Mu even saw He Congming in the trending topics, looking all startled.
Checked the time.
Great.
a.m., still surfing online.
Seeing He Congming at the school hospital again, soon.
"Old man, Reporter Su and I, are just simple colleagues."
"Just work relation, it’s the netizens over-thinking it..."
Chen Mu responded while brushing his teeth.
"Really?" On the other end, the old man clearly wasn’t willing to believe what, to him, seemed too cruel an answer.
Chen Mu answered firmly, "Really..."
"You’re my dad, in the past two years what my situation is, others may not know, but you don’t know too?"
"Either busy at the school hospital, or reading, where’s the time to date."
"And Reporter Su is a big star, I knew Bingbing before the show was recorded, just a little thought would tell you this is unrealistic!"
"How can a national star possibly know a small-time school doctor like me in advance?"
"And the reason why the protagonist of this show is me, others may not know, but you certainly know..."
The old man had even sent people to him to self-report before.
Is the old man having memory issues?
Chen Mu reasonably suspected.
Listening to Chen Mu’s very logical reasoning.
On the other end of the phone.
The old man also fell silent for a moment.
Chen Mu placed the phone aside, slowly started washing up.
He knew.
These kinds of things, you need to give the old man some time to digest.
After a while.
About two or three minutes passed.
The hesitant voice of the old man sounded again on the other side, "But I’ve watched many clips of you two on the show, and I think you both look quite compatible..."
Seemingly afraid that Chen Mu didn’t understand his hint.
The old man emphasized again on the other end: "Brat, I’m quite pleased with this daughter-in-law!"
Chen Mu: "..."
That familiar.
Suffocating feeling was back.
Thinking back to those days...
When he had just gotten into college, the old man already had thoughts of having grandchildren.
Frantically urging him to find someone, to get married.
After he graduated from college and started working.
As long as he had time to call the old man, the first question was, have you found someone?
Then later.
His incident happened.
The communication between him and the old man became sparse over a long time.
Unexpectedly.
The old man now, just willing to reconnect with him.
The first topic.
Was back to this suffocating topic.
Chen Mu was still thinking.
How to broach the topic to stop the old man when he heard the old man’s voice again: "Actually, I calmed down shortly after seeing the trending topics. Despite my fondness for that girl, I know my kid too well."
"Several times you seemed kind of ambiguous, but in reality, you had no such intention. I would even suspect if you had a physiological issue, not being moved by such a beautiful girl if I hadn’t taken your pulse."
Chen Mu only felt the veins on his forehead twitch: "Old man!"
Whose father.
Would suspect their son has those kinds of issues for no reason?!
Chen Mu gritted his teeth and retorted: "Other people’s dads, at your age, are already enjoying their sunsets, why are you still a single old man at this point?"
The old man on the other end shrieked in anger.
The corners of Chen Mu’s lips just curled up.
When the doorbell at home rang.
"Who’s here so early..."
Chen Mu opened the door unprepared.
Only to see Bingbing’s bright smiling face.
Bingbing raised the breakfast bag in her hand to Chen Mu, smiling, "Dr. Chen! I’ve come to bring you some warmth!"
Looking at Bingbing’s beautiful face.
At this moment.
There was no surprise in Chen Mu’s heart, only two words, I’m screwed!
