Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 9 9. Lin Xiao is such an honest child
Lin Xiao clicked on the topic.

The source of this hot search was discovered when someone who claimed to be a staff member of the Ninghai Civil Affairs Bureau broke the news, saying that Han Xixi and a young man were seen together this morning. They were in a very sweet relationship and had obtained a marriage certificate.

The explosive post was very detailed and emphasized that the man was a "young man" who had a "good relationship" with Han Xixi.

Lin Xiao frowned as he watched.

He clearly remembered that when they got the certificate in the morning, the staff member was a man in his 40s who sat there yawning continuously and never looked at them directly from beginning to end.

It was obvious that this uncle didn't know Han Xixi.

If that's the case, it's impossible that he was the one who leaked the information.

There were not many people at the Civil Affairs Bureau this morning, and only two windows were open, so it was unlikely that there would be anyone else.

Moreover!
He and Han Xixi clearly didn't act familiar with each other in the morning, and they made it seem like they were getting divorced after getting married. How did the person who made the news know that they had a "good relationship"?

Therefore, Lin Xiao quickly guessed that this so-called "disclosure" should be a drama directed and performed by Han Xixi's agency.

"Oh, that's pretty smart!"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

After all, if Han Xixi directly announced it, even if the marriage certificate was real, netizens would think that she came prepared and deliberately wanted to clarify the rumors of being kept before the festival.

However, if the whole story is revealed in advance from a third-person perspective, netizens will accept the fact itself with preconceived ideas.

If Han Xixi comes out and makes an official announcement openly, the credibility will be much higher and there will be fewer conspiracy theories.

to be honest.

Nowadays, netizens would rather trust a netizen they have never met and who cannot provide any valid evidence, than trust celebrities who issue lawyers' letters and make public statements.

I'm really scared of being slapped in the face!

Lin Xiao flipped through the comment section under the topic.

As expected, netizens were all shocked, and some even began to doubt the pre-holiday trending search for "being kept".

"Married? I remember she just graduated from college?"

"Am I remembering it wrong? Didn't she just reveal that she was being kept by a wealthy sponsor before the holiday?"

"Is this melon authentic?!"

"Wouldn't she have married the sponsor directly?"

"Impossible. The post said that the man she got married to was a handsome young man. It definitely wasn't the Mediterranean guy that was exposed last time!"

"The news broke just before the holiday, and they got married after the holiday. Are they trying to clear their name?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, if it's true, her husband is really pitiful, he is the scapegoat!"

"I think the revelations before the holiday are not necessarily true. How can a photo that doesn't even show the face be considered as evidence? There is no follow-up!"

"..."

There are all kinds of comments in the comment section, but very few people question the authenticity of the original post.

This is the effect that Han Xixi's agency wants.

The next step should be to wait for public opinion to ferment further before Han Xixi personally comes out to make the official announcement.

This has nothing to do with Lin Xiao.

They had already discussed it before. He only needed to take his ID card to get the certificate. He didn't have to worry about anything else and didn't need to show up in person.

After all, he has to make a living, and it is impossible for him to be a gigolo in front of netizens all over the country.

Lin Xiao put down his phone and prepared to go off work.

At this moment, I remembered something important!
"This has become a trending search, so doesn't that mean everyone can see it..."

Before he could think clearly, the landline on the table rang.

When I looked at the number, it was indeed a call from Liu Liyun's office.

"Xiao Lin, come to my office for a moment!"

Liu Liyun's tone was unusually stern. She hung up after saying this.

Lin Xiao sighed: Well, it’s over now!

……

I knocked on the door and entered Liu Liyun's office. As expected, the atmosphere in the room was depressing.

Liu Liyun was holding her cell phone, browsing something with a gloomy look on her face.

"Director, you're looking for me!" Lin Xiao asked pretending to be stupid.

"Have you seen the hot searches on Weibo?" Liu Liyun went straight to the point.

"What hot search?"

"Take a look!" Liu Liyun put the phone directly in front of him with a serious expression.

Lin Xiao pretended to be curious and moved closer, then gave a movie star-level performance: he first frowned in confusion, then took a breath of cold air, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief...

He looked shocked on the surface, but he almost laughed on the inside.

"In my previous life, I was criticized by netizens for more than ten years because of my poor acting skills. I didn't expect that after traveling through time, I changed my track and even had to test my acting skills. It's amazing!" Lin Xiao complained in his heart.

Fortunately, his acting skills were good enough in front of Liu Liyun, and this performance did not arouse any suspicion.

Of course, he acted so hard not to deny getting the marriage certificate.

After all, this matter cannot be concealed.

He did this simply because he didn't want to take the blame for "cheating his superiors and concealing the truth from his subordinates."

"Let me ask you, is this marriage certificate true?" Liu Liyun asked with a gloomy face.

"Uh... Director..."

"I'm asking you this as Xixi's mother!"

"Auntie, don't be angry first!"

Lin Xiao said with a wronged look on his face, "I do have a good impression of Xixi, and she should feel the same way about me. Although I was a little surprised when she asked me to get the marriage certificate, I think that feelings should not be measured by time.

“Although Xixi and I have known each other for a short time, we can clearly feel that our relationship is rapidly heating up during the National Day holidays.

"So, when she mentioned getting the marriage certificate, I agreed on impulse, and then I went this morning... I'm sorry, Auntie!"

Lin Xiao looked sincere.

To be honest, he didn't want to lie to Liu Liyun. After all, whether as a leader or an elder, she took good care of him.

But he and Han Xixi also discussed this matter.

The final result was that she couldn't tell her parents about the fake marriage. They didn't approve of her being a singer in the first place, and they were even less likely to agree to her treating marriage as a game!
But Han Xixi had to do this, so after much thought, he decided to keep it secret.

Since Lin Xiao agreed to get the marriage certificate with her, they are naturally allies, and there is no reason for him to undermine her.

But allies are allies, and it is impossible to take the blame!

He was determined not to let Liu Liyun think that he had tricked Han Xixi into getting the certificate. If he did that, his motives would be too suspicious.

That's why there is this saying about the tea flavor in tea.

Liu Liyun was shocked at first: "So, you and Xixi really got married?!"

"...Yes!" Lin Xiao nodded with difficulty.

"Wait a minute!"

Liu Liyun came back to her senses and said in disbelief, "You just said that it was Xixi who took the initiative to ask you to get the marriage certificate?"

Lin Xiao started acting again, looking aggrieved: "Yeah, I was quite surprised at the time, and said that I should have told my parents about this kind of thing in advance. But Xixi said that you picked me personally, and you have absolutely no objection to getting the marriage certificate with me..."

Liu Liyun's anger was obviously calmed down by his gossiping.

"That being said, you guys are moving too fast..."

"I didn't think this matter through. I'm sorry, Auntie!" Lin Xiao admitted his mistake with a very good attitude.

Liu Liyun looked at him, and carefully thought about what he had just said, and had an incredible guess in her mind.

Of course she knew her daughter.

Although he is introverted, he is definitely not the kind of person who can be easily manipulated. On the contrary, he has always had positive ideas since he was young.

Once she makes up her mind, no one can change it.

It's like learning to sing. At first, her family just cultivated it as a hobby. Later, when she was in high school, she proposed to take the professional route. Liu Liyun and Han Haijun firmly disagreed. They wanted her to go to university safely and come back to take the civil service exam to take over her parents' job.

But Han Xixi refused to obey and secretly applied for the Haicheng Conservatory of Music without telling his parents.

The couple only found out about the admission letters after they were sent to their home. They were so angry!
But by then everything had already been settled. I couldn’t let my daughter repeat the year and waste another year, right? !
So in the end, Liu Liyun and Han Haijun had no choice but to compromise.

Thinking back to what happened before, Liu Liyun was certain that her daughter's marriage was so sudden that there must be something fishy going on.

Just as Xixi said, Lin Xiao was obviously chosen by her as a mother, and she must have agreed and supported their love and marriage. Why should she get the marriage certificate behind her parents' backs and be in such a hurry?

Liu Liyun thought back to the whole incident and understood something instantly.

"I got the certificate in the morning, and it was trending on the Internet in the afternoon...it's too fast!"

Liu Liyun was already certain that this was definitely premeditated.

When he looked up at Lin Xiao again, there was no longer any anger in his heart, but instead his eyes were filled with heartache.

"This child is so honest and naive that he didn't even know he was being used by that girl... We must make it up to him in the future!"
