After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots’ Beloved
Chapter 461: Happy 18th Birthday, Shengsheng!

Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Happy 18th Birthday, Shengsheng!

Lu Sheng knew that Lan Yu really disliked Xu Xinya.

That day on the island, Xu Xinya came over with people to stir up trouble, kicked over their table, wasting so much food, which really angered Lan Yu.

Seeing the message from Lan Yu, Lu Sheng also immediately opened Weibo.

She was immediately blinded by a series of "explosive" tags on the trending list.

#LuShengIsK.A6-StarMemberQiangwei#[Explosive]

#XuXinyaPretendsToBeQiangweiAndGetsExposed#[Explosive]

#XuXinyaCopycat#[Explosive]

#ErwinCallsOutXuXinyaForBeingAFake#[Explosive]

#LuSheng’sAwesomeIdentityIncreasesAgain#

#LuShengInOtherTwoFieldsAtK.A#

#XuXinyaGetsHerFaceSlammedAtQingmangTV#

...

Lu Sheng thought tonight’s events might cause a sensation, but she didn’t expect so many trending topics related to her.

The top trending topic was about her; Lu Sheng first ignored it and clicked on the topic about Xu Xinya.

Just as Lu Sheng imagined, Xu Xinya was truly being scolded terribly.

［Does someone as shameless as Xu Xinya actually exist in this world? Lu Sheng discovered the truth of the game world, and she copied it claiming she thought of it. Lu Sheng is Qiangwei, yet she impersonated Qiangwei when she reached the island to get more supplies for herself.］

［Impersonating a 6-star member of K.A, how dare Xu Xinya? She doesn’t even look that smart and acts like she’s the world’s top genius girl?］

［Copycat! Conniving bitch! Shameless! She managed to convince herself, treating us viewers like fools, how ludicrous!］

［Erwin called it out perfectly! A fake is a fake, being exposed in public is so satisfying. Xu Xinya should never be able to hold her head high again in this lifetime!］

［I have one question; Xu Xinya, this fake, doesn’t deserve to be the popularity champion. Many voted for her because she claimed she was Qiangwei. The real popularity champion should be Lu Sheng.］

［Right! How can a shameless fraud receive a five million bonus?? Qingmang TV should cancel Xu Xinya’s eligibility! @QingmangTVOfficial, the true first place should be Lu Sheng!］

［I heard Xu Xinya also signed up for the show Shining Trainee, hoping to debut through it. With values so crooked, she wants to enter the entertainment circle and become an idol? Don’t ruin our children, she should be directly disqualified and banned! @ShiningTrainee.］

［I think no matter what, impersonating someone’s identity and stealing others’ achievements, doing such shameless things, Xu Xinya should apologize to Lu Sheng, right? Does she think pretending to faint can help her escape?］

［#XuXinyaShameless##XuXinyaFake##XuXinyaConnivingBitch##XuXinyaScratchesHerFeet##XuXinyaGivePopularityBackToLuSheng#］

...

Lu Sheng realized why Lan Yu said it was satisfying.

Under Xu Xinya’s tags, it was all ridicule and scorn from netizens.

And Xu Xinya, whether she wants to study or enter the entertainment industry in the future, will forever not escape this scorn.

But Lu Sheng felt no sympathy.

People must take responsibility for their actions; doing such things means bearing the consequences. It was Xu Xinya herself who ruined her life.

Going back to the tags about herself on the trending list, the mood was completely different.

Compared to the initial shock across the internet when her identity was exposed three times, now that Lu Sheng climbed to the top of the trending list again, many people were more curious about her.

How could a Lu Family’s illegitimate child, a high school student who grew up in a poor rural area, be so remarkable?

So, some tried to dig up Lu Sheng’s dark past but found nothing.

Lu Sheng hadn’t spoken online before, not even opening QQ space, which kids liked to play with back then.

Based on so-called revelations from Lu Sheng’s elementary, middle, and high school classmates, she was just an inconspicuous, poor girl in class.

But looking at Lu Sheng now.

Low-key, mysterious, incredibly powerful.

What has Lu Sheng experienced to possess so many impressive identities?

Also, since Lu Sheng is a 6-star member of K.A, what are the two fields not yet exposed beyond the four that already are?

Even the Beijing University official Weibo reposted the Weibo that Lu Sheng is Qiangwei, clearly proud that its school would have such an outstanding student.

Many people texted Lu Sheng, some standing up for her, others praising her awesomeness.

People like Meng Lin, Huo Yu, classmates in the class... and surprisingly, Shi Suyu.

［I’ll be back in Beijing in a few days. Will you be home then?］

The first meeting was at the night market; the second, at Jiang City Police Station. During those meetings, neither Lu Sheng nor Shi Suyu expected they would be siblings.

Obviously, Shi Suyu knows now.

The aunt who passed due to complications during childbirth twenty years ago, at her passing, her three sons were just little: Shi Muchuan was eight, Shi Suyu five, and Shi Xiche only one.

Shi Muchuan and Shi Suyu might remember their mother. But Shi Xiche, likely from when he started to remember things, could only piece together his mother’s image from remaining belongings.

Lu Sheng felt indebted to these three brothers.

She had apologized to Shi Muchuan in person; she should also meet Shi Suyu.

［Before school starts, I’ll go to the old house to see Grandpa. Let me know when you’re going home.］

Having a blood relationship makes calling him Mr. Shi too distant. Yet, the relationship is indeed awkward, so calling him "brother" also didn’t come out easily.

So, she used "you" as a substitute.

Fortunately, Shi Suyu didn’t find it improper, responding simply: ［Okay］

Hearing the shower stop, and seeing Li Muchen coming out with a towel around his waist, Lu Sheng turned off her phone and looked up.

Xu Xinya deserved her punishment. Solving Shi Yuwei and Lin Fangling would be up to Old Mr. Huo’s birthday party two days later.

For now, no more worries.

Lu Sheng had been tired for a while; seeing Li Muchen come out, she opened her arms for him to hug her: "Hmm... It’s almost midnight. Let’s go to sleep."

"Tomorrow I want to return to Jiang City to see my mom and brothers. They must miss me after being away for so many days. I’ll come back before school starts."

Lu Sheng shared her plans with Li Muchen, who unusually didn’t respond immediately.

Instead, his strong arms suddenly picked Lu Sheng up, holding her by her thighs, carrying her to the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Shengsheng."

Li Muchen called out.

"Hmm?"

Lu Sheng blinked, unsure what Li Muchen intended to do.

Then she saw Li Muchen suddenly turn to look at the clock on the bedroom wall.

The hour and minute hands were nearly on the 12, with only a few steps left for the second hand.

Five seconds.

Four seconds.

Three seconds.

Two seconds.

One second.

At the moment when the hour, minute, and second hands all aligned at 12, a golden light suddenly soared outside the window.

With a pop, brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky almost covering the entire night sky, illuminating everything around.

Like countless sparkling meteors cascading down from the night sky, it was a beauty beyond words, a breathtaking sight.

Lu Sheng was shocked by the massive fireworks visible through the glass and hadn’t recovered when the man had already kissed her, whispering in her ear.

"My baby."

"Happy 18th birthday."
