Chapter 370: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
The director, unwilling to give up, continued to persuade her, "Ms. Song, shouldn't we ask President He about this first? I think President He is quite interested in participating. He came to the hotel today for inspection, probably for your sake."
"He would be very happy if he could appear on the show with you, right?"
Yun Qing wavered upon hearing this, just then He Chengyi called her.
She then agreed, "Then I'll ask him first."
As soon as the call connected, He Chengyi said sadly, "Qingqing, do you really not want me anymore? What did I do wrong? Tell me, I'll change..."
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
"What's wrong? Were you bullied?"
Then they heard He Chengyi choking back tears, saying sadly, "My wife really doesn't want me anymore..."
Just as Yun Qing was filled with questions, her sister's domineering voice came from the phone, "He Chengyi! Give me the phone, I'll talk to you."
"Get away from me! Don't you dare steal my wife!"
"Ha... If you don't give it to me, you can forget about ever seeing your wife again!"
Her father's drunken voice could still be heard from afar on the phone, "Go, Yaoyao! Steal his wife and make him a bachelor forever!"
Her mother said helplessly, "Just lie down! Why are you getting involved?"
He Chengyi cried out in anguish, "Dad...you're my own father! That's your daughter-in-law!"
Yun Qing: !!!
"Sis! What's going on?"
Didn't He Chengyi go back to the He family home? How come he's with her family? And so drunk.
Song Yunyao shouted, "Qingqing, hang up first and call me. He Chengyi is holding his phone like a wife and won't give it to me."
Yun Qing quickly comforted He Chengyi for a couple of minutes, then hung up the phone and called her sister.
Holding her phone, Song Yunyao stood far away from the two drunkards and explained with a headache, "The He family is sending out invitations everywhere, wanting to form a marriage alliance with the Su family. He Chengyi came to apologize for this."
“Dad was already reluctant to part with you, and he felt that you had been wronged in this matter, so he was not happy. But He Chengyi had a good attitude, and you like him. He wanted to make things difficult for him, but he didn’t want to make things too difficult, so he challenged He Chengyi to a drinking contest.”
"He doesn't bully anyone at all. He's willing to risk his life to keep He Chengyi company. He drinks as much as He Chengyi drinks, so He Chengyi definitely can't back down!"
"The two of them got more and more carried away with the drinking, and my mom and I couldn't stop them. Now they're both drunk and acting crazy!"
"One insists on keeping his brother a bachelor, while the other insists on finding a wife for his own father."
Yun Qing: ...You're all just talking past each other!
"What happened? He Chengyi said I didn't want him anymore? Sis, did you scare him?"
Song Yunyao said irritably, "If I didn't scare him, he would still be clinging to the bottle and wouldn't let go! He keeps saying that if he drinks 9981 bottles, his wife will suddenly appear from the sky and take him to heaven."
Yun Qing: ...
She really didn't know that He Chengyi was like this when he was drunk.
"Sis, next time you should use business to scare him, not me. What if he takes it seriously and threatens to jump off a building?"
Song Yunyao: ...
To be honest, she thought He Chengyi might actually be capable of doing it.
"Anyway, hurry up and come pick him up!"
"When he gets drunk, he's harder to control than a pig during Chinese New Year! He even kicked two of his bodyguards to the ground."
Yun Qing hung up the phone and turned around to see the director with a rather intimidatingly big smile on his face.
She silently took two steps back and said, "Director, I might need to ask for a short break."
"Ahem..." The director quickly regained his composure and asked, "Is two hours enough?"
"It just so happens that the production team asked all the guests to pause their live streams and invite their friends who would be working with them later, so that the newly added guests could maintain a bit of mystery for the time being."
"Okay, thank you, director."
Seeing that she was in a hurry to leave, the director didn't say much more, but reminded her, "Ms. Song, you must remember to ask President He for his opinion! Otherwise, he might feel regretful if you miss this great opportunity to show your affection."
The director really hit Yun Qing's weak spot.

As soon as Yun Qing stepped into the house, she saw Lin Xu anxiously instructing the bodyguards, "Quickly, hold him down!"
She ran over and saw He Chengyi surrounded by several bodyguards, holding a fruit knife. He pointed it at the bodyguards and warned, "Don't come any closer! I'm going to be with my wife, what right do you have to stop me!"
The usually calm and collected Lin Xu was unusually flustered and shouted, "President He! Madam is still alive!"
Yun Qing: ...
She took a deep breath and shouted angrily, "He Chengyi! Put the knife down!"
Upon hearing her voice, before even seeing her, He Chengyi quickly threw away the knife.
Then she looked up at Yun Qing, her hand reaching out weakly, pitifully, and helplessly, "Qingqing, you've finally come to pick me up... They've all been bullying me..."
Yun Qing walked over, hugged him, and patted him. "Alright, alright, be good and stop fooling around."
He Chengyi clung to her, blinking at her with a look that said, "I'm very well-behaved."
Song Yunyao and Madam Song had just escorted another drunkard back to his room when they came downstairs and saw this scene. They couldn't help but sigh, "Truly, there's always someone who can subdue another."
Upon seeing her, Yunqing quickly asked, "Sister, how is Dad?"
"It's nothing serious, he was just being a bit drunk. He doesn't have the energy of a young person. We've already taken him back to his room, and he should be able to fall asleep soon. Mom is watching over him."
While pushing He Chengyi's head to stop him from biting her neck, Yun Qing said, "Sister, you should have called me sooner. If I had taken He Chengyi away, they wouldn't have kept fighting."
"Drinking so much alcohol is bad for your health, Dad is getting on in years..."
Before she could finish speaking, Song's father suddenly threw himself onto the railing of the upstairs corridor, looking down and wailing, "Qingqing, you actually think I'm old!"
He Chengyi blinked, then suddenly stood up straight, put one arm around Yun Qing's waist, and raised the other arm to cheer, "Hahahaha... I'm younger than you!"
Song's father vividly demonstrated what it means to be struck by lightning from a clear sky with his facial expressions.
He grabbed Madam Song, who had chased after him, and asked in a daze, "Lanlan, why is my younger brother younger than me?"
Overwhelmed with grief, he looked up to the sky and roared, "Heaven is unjust!"
Madam Song slapped him on the back of the head. "That's your son-in-law!"
He Chengyi said to Yun Qing with a smile, "Qingqing, look, the one who got beaten is my real dad. Come on, call him Dad after me!"
Yun Qing: ...What should I do if my boyfriend wants to take my dad away from me?
Madam Song was already having a headache from the two drunkards, so she quickly said, "Qingqing, your father is fine. You should take Xiao He away quickly. The two of them together will only make more trouble."
Yun Qing reached out to steady the staggering He Chengyi and nodded, saying, "Alright, Mom, Sister, please take good care of Dad. I'll take him with me now."
Although He Chengyi was unsteady on his feet, he listened to Yun Qing's advice and Lin Xu helped him get into the car.
Yun Qing couldn't help but ask, "Assistant Lin, did your CEO He act like this when he was drunk before?"
Lin Xu smiled wryly and said, "President He has never been this drunk before."
If he had known earlier, he would never have let President He keep drinking; he would have asked the landlady for help long ago.
Yun Qing reached out and patted He Chengyi's head, muttering, "You and my dad are quite alike."
