Chapter 18: Daddy Guo and Clever and Quirky Little Guo Yayi

  Holding the five consent forms in his hand, Guo Xiaoyu couldn't feel happy at all.

  Why? Because there is a person in front of you who does not want to sign the last consent form no matter what, and this person even refuses to serve as the director and producer of "Where Are We Going, Dad?"

  Looking at his old dad in front of him, Guo Xiaoyu's eyebrows were already furrowed into a "three-character" shape. He had thought that after that day, his father should have understood, and he would not miss this rare opportunity no matter what. He didn't want to participate in the show, Guo Xiaoyu could understand, but he didn't want to be the director of the show either, which was something Guo Xiaoyu just couldn't comprehend.

  "Dad, isn't your dream to host a grand and magnificent show?"

  Facing Guo Xiaoyu's sincere advice, Guo Dad replied calmly: "Being a director is indeed my dream, but not for this type of program."

  "Isn't it this one? Which one is it?" Guo Xiaoyu retorted, "Are you going to direct a TV series or a movie, Dad?"

  "You don't understand." Facing Guo Xiaoyu's words, Guo Dad just looked at him and threw out these three words that Guo Xiaoyu really didn't understand.

  "I've lived... I'm older than you by two lifetimes, what don't I understand? What am I missing?" Facing her old man, Guo Xiaoyu found herself at a loss for words. Previously, whether it was Tian Lian or Lin Zhiyuan, Guo Xiaoyu at least knew which aspect to persuade them from, but facing her old man, she really felt like she was in the dark.

  "Dad, how can you be so calm? How can we still have a pleasant conversation?"

  Looking at Guo Xiaoyu's bitter face, Father Guo finally showed a smile and teased: "Don't pretend with me, I still know you. When you were young and wanted me to buy things for you, you had this expression."

  "What's the point of bringing up old things?" Guo Xiaoyu waved his hand and pleaded, "Dad, I'm begging you, just consider it as helping me out, okay?"

  At this time, Guo's father suddenly fell silent. After a while, Guo's father asked: "Xiaoyu, why do you want me to host this show? And why must I and Xiaoyi participate?"

  "Really? Brother, why does Xiao Yi have to participate too?" said Guo Xiao Yi who was sitting beside him.

  Kuo Hsiao-yu and Kuo's father had this conversation, Kuo Hsiao-yi and Kuo's mother were present from the beginning, but no matter how tense the atmosphere was, Kuo's mother did not speak.

  "Kids, go away and stop showing off here." Guo Xiaoyu pushed Guo Xiaoyi's little head to one side and said: "Dad, you should know that this is a rare opportunity, and Uncle Lü has already promised me his full support for the show. As for why Xiaoyi also needs to participate, you'll understand once you're on the show. Don't worry, it will definitely be beneficial for both of you."

  "Ah..." Facing Guo Xiaoyu's solemn guarantee, Guo Dad sighed and said: "Xiaoyu, your show, no matter what, our whole family will fully support you. However, that is your show, from start to finish, it's all your effort, but you've put my name on everything. After the show airs, people will only know about me, Guo Dayong, and nobody will know about you, Guo Xiaoyu. Dad can't do this, it's your show, not mine."

  Guo Dayong, a name that's a bit rustic. But this very name, at this moment in Guo Xiaoyu's heart, weighs more than a thousand catties. The person with this name, in Guo Xiaoyu's eyes, is as lofty as a mountain peak of ten thousand feet.

  At this time, Guo's mother gently placed her hand on Guo's father's shoulder, motionless, and everything was self-evident.

  "Dad..." Guo Xiao Yi didn't know what had happened, but she felt that the atmosphere was off. She looked at the two men in front of her and didn't dare to breathe heavily.

  "Dad..." At this moment, Guo Xiaoyu was like a completely different person. The laziness, the lightness, and the unconventionality were all gone, leaving only seriousness and solemnity.

  "Dad, I know. But this is your show, and without you, I wouldn't be able to complete it at all. And when the time comes, I'll join the crew and work with you guys together. The crew members will also have my name on it, so by then, the show won't just be yours and mine, but many people's."

  "Really."

  "Of course!" Guo Xiaoyu nodded affirmatively. He had originally planned to work on the crew anyway, and now he was just taking advantage of his dad not knowing.

  "Alright, as long as you agree to three conditions of mine, I'll go along with what you said. You tell me what to do and I'll do it."

  "What conditions? What kind of conditions?" Guo Xiaoyu vaguely felt that there was a problem with that.

  "I haven't thought of the conditions yet. I'll tell you when I've thought them through." As he said this, Dad took a piece of paper from Mom's hand and said, "Sign this, and I'll sign your consent form."

  Looking at the words "Guo Xiaoyu unconditionally agreed to Guo Dayong's three conditions" on the paper, Guo Xiaoyu was so angry that he couldn't help but laugh. He knew that he had been tricked by his parents. What a show, what a performance, it was all an act, probably from the day they were in the hospital, his father and mother had started acting, and there must be Mr. He involved in this too.

  "Alright, I'll sign." For "Where Are We Going, Dad?", Guo Xiaoyu signed this contract that would later be called the "King's Agreement", an unfair contract.

  "Wait..." Just as her father was about to sign the agreement, Guo Xiao Yi snatched it away and said: "Brother, you also have to agree to three conditions from me, otherwise I won't agree to yours."

  "Guo Xiaoyu pointed at Guo Xiaoyi and said: "Alright, you little guy is impressive. Just wait and see how I'll deal with you."

  "Xiao Yi's first condition is that from now on, Guo Xiao Yu must listen to Xiao Yi at home and outside, buy delicious food for Xiao Yi, play with Xiao Yi, tell stories to Xiao Yi, cannot bully Xiao Yi, and especially cannot hit Xiao Yi's head. Stinky brother, loves hitting Xiao Yi's head the most."

  "Alright, I'll agree to that." Guo Xiaoyu picked up the still muttering Guo Xiaoyi and said intimately: "Next time we meet, I'll shout 'Princess' from afar, okay?"

  "That's not necessary." Guo Xiao Yi said with a blush: "On the main street, isn't this not good?"

  "Hahaha......" Seeing Guo Xiao Yi's awkward appearance, everyone in the family burst out laughing.

  "Alright, all six families have been settled, now it's just a matter of going to find Uncle Lü to discuss the details." Guo Xiaoyu stood up, tidied up the materials, and said to his parents: "It's not too late now, I'll go find Uncle Lü to confirm, you two can sleep first, no need to wait for me." As he spoke, Guo Xiaoyu had already gone out.

  After he went out, Guo's father hugged Guo Xiaoyi and asked, "How was it? Did you have fun going out with Dad?"

  "Happy, but..." Guo Xiao Yi worriedly asked: "But can Dad cook?"

  "Uh... this... your brother can do it, but when we ask him to cook, he doesn't."

  Facing Guo's father's nonchalant attitude, Guo Xiao Yi started to reveal more: "But my brother told me that later on, the dads will be in charge of cooking and they have to show off their cooking skills."

  "Ugh... this kid is too detestable."

  "Really? You're saying that about your own son?" Guo's mother picked up the contract in her hand and said, "With this thing, he won't be able to continue his life of idleness."

  "This kid, his ability is quite outstanding, but he's really too lazy. I don't know how his personality can be so different from mine. Now that we have this thing, we need to make good use of his talent and not let him waste it."

  "It's worth mentioning that we should thank Little He as well. Without him, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly in our place." Indeed, there is something about Teacher He involved here.

  Originally, after Guo Xiaoyu came up with the idea of "Where's Dad Going?", Guo Dad and Guo Mom had this idea too, but it hadn't been implemented yet. Later, they heard from Lü Bin about Guo Xiaoyu's bet and their plan was formed, they worked together with He Laoshi to set a trap for Guo Xiaoyu.

  Of course, Guo Xiaoyu, who has been mixed for two lifetimes, definitely doesn't know that he is being calculated like this. He is now thinking about how to gain the greatest benefit in front of Lü Bin later.

  P.S. There will be another update later. I promised everyone an extra update, and I'll have to stay up all night to get it out, but it should be after midnight. Brothers and sisters can take a look again tomorrow.
