Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me
Chapter 242 - 241: Do You Not Know About the False Note?

Chapter 242: Chapter 241: Do You Not Know About the False Note?

The 20-year-old innocent man swallowed hard.

His fist clenched tightly, blue veins popping on the surface.

Mianmian’s words meant that his dear little uncle was eavesdropping at the door.

It could have been that his emotional outburst was too loud and had been overheard, prompting the other party to eavesdrop. Or perhaps because they’d just been duo queuing in the game—his sudden declaration of having something to do might have struck his uncle as odd?

Whichever the case, the 20-year-old innocent man felt angry, disgusted, and the urge to hit someone!

Following Mianmian’s instructions, he pretended to chat with her while tiptoeing to the door. Suddenly, he yanked it open.

Sure enough, there was a little chubby kid outside, holding a mobile phone, stumbling into the room as a result of his inertia.

The 20-year-old innocent man didn’t care whether the other would be hurt from the fall, stepping aside to watch the latter crash to the ground with cold eyes.

The little chubby kid’s phone slipped out of his hand, skidding across the floor before coming to a stop by the 20-year-old’s feet.

The 20-year-old bent down and picked up the phone.

The little chubby kid had soft, fair skin, clearly a child who was dearly coddled by his family.

In extreme pain from the fall, he grimaced and complained, "Zhang Shi, what’s the deal? Why didn’t you help your little uncle up?"

His condescending tone suggested that he frequently talked to the 20-year-old in this manner.

The 20-year-old had already seen the game ID on the mobile game interface.

His ID was "Chong Qian", and the character "Qian" was displayed on the little chubby kid’s phone screen. Upon opening the relationship list to ’Lovers’, it was indeed his account!

With the truth right before his eyes, the 20-year-old felt both embarrassed and angry.

He clenched the phone tightly, aiming the screen at the little chubby kid on the ground, "You, goddammit, have you no conscience at all? Grandpa and grandma are old and can’t take good care of you or tutor you in your studies, so my dad brought you to our house to care for you attentively. How have I wronged you for you to treat me this way? And what’s with that voice of yours?"

The little chubby kid had realized that things were going badly the instant the 20-year-old checked the phone.

With his hands on the ground, he said, "Falsetto, you don’t know about falsetto?"

By the end of his sentence, the little chubby kid’s voice had transformed into a gentle and cute girl’s voice.

Taking advantage of the momentary daze the 20-year-old fell into upon hearing the false voice, the chubby kid tried to get up and run, only to be pinned back down by the quick-reacting 20-year-old who stepped on his rear, making him fall face-first again.

"Just wait until I call the police. I’m going to inform the family to come back right now. We must resolve this matter today!" The 20-year-old resolved as he was about to end the live-stream with Mianmian.

Seeing how heartbroken the 20-year-old was, Mianmian spoke before the stream ended, "Since you came to Mianmian for fortune-telling about your romance, and we’ve resolved the issue with unwanted suitors, Mianmian also wants to tell you that you have a true love blossoming. Just last night you refused to play this game with her, you know."

Upon hearing this, the 20-year-old paused.

The girl he rejected yesterday, wasn’t she his high school classmate? She wasn’t even pretty, how could she possibly be his true love?

But now wasn’t the time to think about that. The most pressing matter was dealing with the deception he’d suffered!

The live-stream connection was cut off.

[I really want to know what happens next. Will this brat face any punishment?]

[I want to know too. It feels like if they could scam 100,000, maybe 200,000 wouldn’t be out of reach. Speaking of which, the innocent man’s family seems pretty well off, judging by the house’s structure; it looks like a villa.]

[Are you watching the stream with a magnifying glass?]

[It’s so magical. I’ve got two streams open and Hu Yingying’s fortune-telling is accurate too, and it only costs 66 yuan for a donation. The girl who got picked just now really succeeded in her confession!]

[Does Hu Yingying also have fortune-telling abilities? In that case, I want to go and try my luck at her stream. Little Auntie only reads for three people, and with such high popularity, I might not get a chance.]

[I’m going to watch the mature lady’s stream too. As an adult man, I have to say, watching kids is just not as thrilling.]

After these comments appeared, many viewers whose primary interest was fortune-telling switched their main screen to Hu Yingying’s side. Those who were on mobile phones and couldn’t open multiple streams promptly closed Mianmian’s, heading straight to watch Hu Yingying instead.

The viewer count in Mianmian’s live broadcast room plummeted from 7 million directly down to 5 million.

Su Chenyi furrowed his brow and rapidly typed on his mobile phone, contacting his younger brother Su Chenzhou. He wanted to know if Hu Yingying was playing some special tricks by intentionally hiring a "Water Army" to boost Little Auntie’s popularity.

Su Chenzhou quickly replied, "Second Brother, I’ve checked it out; there’s no problem."

The computer screen in front of Su Chenzhou wasn’t displaying the normal interface one would see when watching a live-stream. Aside from Mianmian’s live broadcast feed, which was displayed normally, there were additional characters attached behind the usernames and IDs of the comments that appeared.

He swiftly switched over to Hu Yingying’s live broadcast for another comparison.

After comparing, he found that all the accounts on Hu Yingying’s side revealed no signs of any secret manipulation, and a look of concern appeared in Su Chenzhou’s languid eyes.

Hu Yingying was already a popular actress, and the TV series she recently starred in was a big hit, maintaining high popularity even after it had finished airing.

They only liked Little Auntie, but the preferences of netizens were different; they could change at any time. Especially since "accurate fortune-telling" was no longer an exclusive trait of Little Auntie, netizens had more options to choose from.

With so many viewers leaving, he wondered if it would affect Little Auntie.

Elder Su in the group chat urged his sons to come up with a solution. Suddenly, Su Chenyan spoke up, "I can’t stand it anymore, I’ve bought a homepage promotion for Little Auntie! Hu Yingying is also being promoted, we’re just spending a bit of money. Fair competition is never wrong, right?"

Promotion is a marketing tactic that places certain information where it’s easily visible to netizens, attracting them to click.

This method is quite effective for diverting traffic; at least Mianmian’s live broadcast viewership count surged to 8 million in an instant.

However, those attracted weren’t the same netizens who were familiar with Mianmian before.

"A child doing fortune-telling, my god, there are so many fortune-telling live streams now, doesn’t anyone manage this?"

"Isn’t Hu Yingying an actress? How come she’s also doing fortune-telling?"

"Two homepage promotions crammed together, now that’s amusing."

The platform wanted to make money from both sides, so it deliberately placed the two promotions side by side on the homepage, which was particularly funny.

Since Mianmian wasn’t filming, Yang Xian didn’t have any scenes either.

Yang Xian was actually observing Mianmian quietly.

Ever since Mianmian started live-streaming, he had been watching.

Perhaps it was because the Heavenly Eye had activated on its own again, but Yang Xian saw golden halos surrounding Su Mianmian, along with some white light spots. When the number of people in the live broadcast room suddenly decreased, those white light spots also drifted to the right, flying further and further away before vanishing.

It was the same now.

Light spots from all directions converged around Little Bun, paused for a moment, and then swiftly departed.

Even without counting the light spots, Yang Xian knew that those departing represented the people who were leaving Mianmian’s live broadcast room.

But it wasn’t just white light spots.

When a large number of viewers suddenly poured into and then quickly left the broadcasting room, among the incoming specks, there were also black ones.

After the emergence of the black light spots, the comments in the live broadcast became even more unfriendly.

"Did the Su Family pay to remove Sister Hu’s promotion? Just now I saw both of them on the homepage, and now Sister Hu’s promotion has suddenly disappeared."

"I don’t get it, Hu Yingying has already told fortunes for two people, and she was very accurate. Moreover, her price is cheaper. Is the Su Family just unable to bear seeing someone else do the same thing?"

"The person before me hit the nail on the head. The Su Family has the power to do such things. Remember Qin Tao and Su Chenfei? Well, Qin Tao is a negative example—I’m not supporting him, I’m just saying that when Su Chenfei was being slandered before, the Su Family also did many similar things."

It was outrageous that people were mentioning Su Chenfei’s incident in the same breath as Su Mianmian’s fortune-telling business.

After reading these comments, Yang Xian looked up at Mianmian again.

The black light spots were like pollutants, gradually tinting the originally white spots to gray, and even spreading the contamination to the golden halo around Mianmian.
