She scrolled mindlessly, and in just a short while, the trending topic about Bai Xixue’s mysterious CEO husband had exploded. The trending posts were filled with envy and jealousy, with countless PR articles praising Bai Xixue as the pampered little wife adored by her CEO husband.
She gained another wave of fans overnight, who rushed to take control of the comments section.
“Who can blame our Xuexue for being so outstanding, having her husband completely wrapped around her finger.”
“Oh my god, our brother-in-law is just amazing! Who else is weeping with envy?”
“Brother-in-law is as domineering as ever! Is there anyone left who doesn’t know our mysterious brother-in-law is fiercely protective of his wife? (smile)”
Jiang Sui could only shake her head at the comments.
The next trending topic was the fan war between her and Bai Xixue. Even Best Actress Li Lan’s fans and plenty of bystanders had joined in.
She also noticed that her own fan numbers had grown compared to before.
Even quite a few bystanders had started criticizing Bai Xixue’s actions.
“No wonder Jiang Sui wouldn’t let Xuanyuan exercise. Look at the other three kids besides Xuanyuan—are any of them okay now? One’s got heatstroke, two are listless and uncomfortable. With such strong UV rays and blazing sun, how did the show’s producers even think of this?”
“Ji Chuan getting heatstroke honestly has nothing to do with the producers—it’s all because Bai Xixue is a lousy mom.”
“Exactly, Ji Chuan must have had the worst luck to end up with a mother like her.”
“Hilarious, at the start you all were attacking Jiang Sui, so where are those people now? Not going to apologize?”
“She was just protecting her child and you all kept nitpicking. Maybe you all secretly wish to have a mother like Bai Xixue who treats her children like props. Hope you get reincarnated into her family next life. (smile)”
…
However, these negative comments about Bai Xixue were quickly suppressed, with the praise for her pushed to the top. It was obvious Bai Xixue’s team had stepped in, and of course, so had her mysterious CEO husband.
Ah, the power of money.
As she browsed with relish, her phone suddenly vibrated.
She answered without thinking, not even checking the caller ID.
“Hello? Who’s this?”
There was silence at first.
“Speak up, I’m busy here.” Jiang Sui glanced at Lu Xuanyuan, who was already drowsy.
She walked over and gently pulled a blanket over her.
Lu Xuanyuan lifted her heavy eyelids to look at Jiang Sui, then drifted off to sleep.
“Is Xuanyuan alright?” A low, pleasant male voice came from the other end.
The voice startled Jiang Sui so much she almost dropped her phone.
She checked the caller ID again.
Lu Ye!
Wasn’t this her secret husband?
She calmly walked over and covered the surrounding cameras.
The man watching the livestream frowned.
“Uh… Xuanyuan’s fine.” Jiang Sui tried to recall the details of her secret marriage to Lu Ye.
“Did you need something?” she asked politely.
“I heard you took Xuanyuan on a variety show. You never told me about this.” His voice was cold and indifferent, sounding almost like an accusation.
Jiang Sui remembered that her relationship with Lu Ye had never been good. It was always her chasing after him, while Lu Ye remained cold as stone, never responding to her affections.
