Chapter 50: When the Gossip Hits Home – Brother Seven’s Moment of Speechlessness

Note: Don't Forget to join my Patreon.com/flokixy to get access to +40 Advance Chapters I have to stop if there is no support Yao Yao could tell that this destined person wasn’t someone who would silently endure injustice. She had her own opinions, so Yao Yao decided to leave the final decision in her hands. This way, it would allow the other party to vent their frustrations while also resolving this tangled mess—a win-win situation. "Congratulations to the second destined person for being selected!" Meanwhile, back in the live stream, Brother Seven quickly wrapped up the lottery draw. However, Yao Yao noticed something odd—his expression suddenly changed when he saw the username of the winner. Did Brother Seven know this person with the nickname “Kong Zhao’s Wallflower Fan”? If Gu Yu knew what his little sister was thinking, he’d shout his innocence from the rooftops. He didn’t recognize this destined person, but he did recognize the name "Kong Zhao." Kong Zhao was an artist under their company, one of the rising stars they had been heavily promoting recently. For some reason, drawing this fan felt like a strange twist of fate. Combined with the series of events that had unfolded in his live stream before, Gu Yu couldn’t shake the feeling that something uncontrollable was about to happen. Before Yao Yao could ask further, the selected destined person accepted the call. She greeted them cheerfully, "Hello, little master! What would you like me to read for you?" The destined person was a girl in her early twenties, with a high ponytail and carefully applied makeup. Judging by the background, she seemed to be in a dormitory. "Hello, little master!" The destined person clearly scrutinized Yao Yao as well. Upon seeing the adorable, chubby little fortune-teller on the screen, she couldn’t help but exclaim, "So cute!" Her reaction drew the attention of several others in the dorm. They asked what was going on, and the destined person explained, "This is that super popular little master everyone's been talking about online—the one who’s been trending multiple times! I won the chance to get my fortune told, but I don’t know what to ask yet." This announcement caused a stir in the dormitory, and soon everyone crowded around to watch. It was the first time Yao Yao encountered such a large group during a live connection. She was momentarily stunned but quickly composed herself, greeting them politely, "Hello, everyone! Good afternoon!" Her courtesy immediately sparked excitement among the dorm mates. Each of them smiled brightly—it wasn’t every day they got the chance to interact with someone as famous as Yao Yao. It was like winning the lottery! Yao Yao didn’t rush them, patiently waiting as the chatter died down. After a moment, the dorm mates realized they were being disruptive and quickly quieted. At this point, none of the roommates could think of a suitable question. Should they ask about academics? Her grades were average at best, so that didn’t seem necessary. Moreover, she came from a wealthy family—no worries about food or clothing—and wasn’t dating anyone. There didn’t seem to be anything particularly pressing to inquire about. Seeing her struggle, one roommate finally spoke up, "If you don’t want to ask about yourself, why not ask about your family or someone you care about? Everyone has someone like that!" "Yeah, didn’t you just become a fan of an idol recently?" "Ask the little master to predict your idol’s future! If he’s destined to blow up, your side gig as a stan account manager will take off!" The destined person rarely had hobbies, but her one true passion was following celebrities. Being a stan account manager was purely out of love; she never intended to make big money from it. So initially, she hadn’t thought of asking about her idol. But after this suggestion, she realized it was a great idea. Learning about her idol’s future would be a fitting reward for all the time she’d spent supporting him. "Then, little master, can you please predict whether my idol’s career will go smoothly?" "Of course! Just send a recent photo of the person you want me to read to my brother Seven through the backend," Yao Yao said in her cute, babyish voice. The destined person nodded. She remembered hearing that older photos might affect the accuracy of the reading, so she quickly found a recent picture of her idol attending an event and sent it over. When Gu Yu heard the notification sound, he instinctively opened the message. Seeing the familiar face, his expression turned complicated. He debated whether he should tell his little sister to tone it down. If she uncovered something unfavorable, announcing it live to the entire internet wouldn’t end well. At this moment, some sharp-eyed netizens noticed Gu Yu’s unusual expression. Among them were veteran netizens who prided themselves on knowing everything about the entertainment industry. They immediately spotted the connection. [Holy crap! The destined person’s username suggests she’s a fan of "Kong Zhao," the new rising star under the same company as our young master!] [Given the jail-themed energy of this live stream, having the little master predict the future of their own company’s artist feels like tempting fate.] [Look at the young master’s face turning green! Hahaha, gossip has come home to roost!] [Hurry, hurry! We can’t wait to see what the little master uncovers!] Seeing the comment section explode with speculation, Gu Yu knew that if he tried to caution his sister now, it would only raise suspicions of hiding something. "Yao Yao, here’s the photo," he said reluctantly, handing it over to his sister. Internally, he prayed fervently that this "Mr. Kong" hadn’t done anything scandalous. Otherwise, his manager would surely kill him. Unaware of her brother’s concerns, Yao Yao casually glanced at the photo—and froze. Her slightly furrowed brows were instantly recognizable to the live stream audience. [Here we go! The little master is walking in with another massive scandal from the entertainment world!] [That expression doesn’t bode well...] [Hahaha! From today onward, I hereby declare our young master the number one 'family annihilator' of the entertainment industry!] "Little master, is there a problem?" the destined person asked nervously, noticing the comments and reactions. Although scandals in the entertainment industry were frequent these days—big ones occasionally, small ones often—she still believed in her idol. He seemed honest and kind-hearted, which was why she had been drawn to him in the first place. What made Yao Yao frown was how problematic this man’s facial features were. His nose bridge appeared altered, and his jawline showed signs of unnatural reshaping without scars. These were clear indications of cosmetic surgery. While plastic surgery itself wasn’t inherently bad, the issue lay elsewhere. According to his physiognomy, this man already had a spouse—the marital palace in his features indicated marriage—but publicly, he claimed to be single. Furthermore, despite being married, he was surrounded by numerous admirers, including the destined person. All of them seemed to unilaterally adore him. One of these admirers, according to Yao Yao’s calculations, was even pregnant. Instinctively, Yao Yao began analyzing the child. Her round little face scrunched up into a dumpling-like expression, and she turned to look at her brother with utmost seriousness. Gu Yu saw this expression and immediately knew trouble was brewing. Before he could say anything, his sister cut him off. "Brother Seven, contact this man immediately and tell him to call the girl he’s been with recently. Stop her from going to the hospital." "If he refuses, tell him this is a matter of life and death. If he doesn’t want his reputation destroyed and end up eating prison food, he needs to act now." "After contacting him, report him to the police. The charge? Forcing a minor into sexual relations." Thanks to Fifth Brother constantly nagging her lately about staying away from Seventh Brother, Yao Yao had picked up bits of legal knowledge. One case he mentioned involved statutory rape: any sexual relationship with a girl under fourteen years old constituted rape, regardless of consent. Needless to say, if the Gu family knew that Fifth Brother was teaching a three-year-old these kinds of stories, they’d probably kill him. Gu Yu was utterly baffled. How did this escalate to involve the police, a potential manslaughter case, and allegations of forcing a minor? What kind of judgment did their company have, promoting such a ticking time bomb? Not only was Gu Yu stunned, but the live stream audience and the destined person held their breaths too. They felt this live stream reported crimes far too frequently. At this rate, the police might start sending officers to monitor them directly. After all, solving major cases right during broadcasts was practically inviting attention!
