Chapter 38: Excuse Me, Is Jiang Sui the Athlete You’ve Lost?

After spending some time helping Xuanxuan with her homework and checking her recitation, Jiang Sui finally went upstairs to rest.

Lu Xuanxuan was six years old, and with the end of the holiday, she would soon be starting elementary school. So Lu Ye had arranged for a tutor to help her preview and learn the first-grade curriculum ahead of time.

In the past, due to work and the strained relationship between Jiang Sui and Lu Xuanxuan, Jiang Sui had hardly taken care of her. It had always been the nanny looking after the child.

But ever since returning from the resort, Xuanxuan had become attached to her, even wanting to sleep beside her at night.

Jiang Sui was long accustomed to sleeping alone, so whenever Xuanxuan tried to join her, she would have Aunt Zhang take her away.

Of course, although their relationship had improved, Xuanxuan still had the temperament of a little princess. Now, however, she would bend under Jiang Sui’s stern gaze—one look from Jiang Sui, and Xuanxuan would scamper off, much to Aunt Zhang’s wide-eyed astonishment.

How could a single trip turn the relationship between Miss and Madam so upside down?

When Jiang Sui logged onto the internet to check the current situation, she found that nearly all the negative comments about her had vanished.

Every trending topic about her was dominated by her beauty, along with screenshots and clips of her performance on the show.

The headlines were all:

“Is beauty like this real? Ahhh, how did I never notice this hidden gem before!”

“This is incredible! She climbed up bare-handed, and with a six-year-old child in tow! What other surprises does Jiang Sui have for us?”

“Am I the only one who thinks Jiang Sui is the entertainment world’s hidden boss? She’s totally like the heroine from a vest novel!”

“Watching the dishes Jiang Sui cooked made tears stream from the corners of my mouth—what a divine godmother!”

After a whirlwind of drama, Jiang Sui’s performance on the show was highlighted and thoroughly explored, and these videos and photos instantly became her magnet for new fans.

Originally, the trending topics had shifted to positive coverage of Bai Xixue, but clearly, netizens were more interested in Jiang Sui, and their enthusiasm quickly overshadowed Bai Xixue.

A popular comment by one netizen read: “What’s the point of watching Bai Xixue loaf around? Jiang Sui’s eighteen talents are way more entertaining, haha—she’s totally the reincarnated vest boss of the entertainment world!”

Replies flooded in:

“Exactly! I watch variety shows for fun—why bother watching Bai Xixue slack off?”

“Wait, so was the alleged incident where Bai Xixue’s husband threatened Jiang Sui just a publicity stunt?”

“Do you really believe that? Just let it go. Consider those statements as hot air. Weren’t Bai Xixue’s fans always bragging about her mysterious, domineering CEO husband? Why aren’t they saying anything now?”

“Jiang Sui is just too amazing! @National Sports Administration, is Jiang Sui an athlete you lost?”

“Are you all ignoring the fact that Jiang Sui said it would rain, and it really did? Where’s that video?”

...

Jiang Sui scrolled casually, a smile curling at her lips.

It seemed Bai Xixue had failed in her attempt to use the variety show to explode in popularity and win over fans.

That was why the man behind her and the production team were scrambling for ways to continue the livestream, hoping to boost her exposure.

Her WeChat chimed.

Chen He: “Boss, the navy you hired—is it exclusive to our studio, or do other studios have it too?”

Jiang Sui: “Speak plainly.”
