With Tang Xu's (or rather, Lin Xu's) example serving as a cautionary tale, Qiu Nai's fans were unusually kind and low-key in Xu Gui's livestream. Before this, their fans were notoriously fierce in the industry, feared by everyone.
Who would have thought they'd run into such a tough opponent?
Of course, their goal was simple: to appear amicable and hope Xu Gui would spare Qiu Nai's words. Unfortunately, once Xu Gui spoke, she had no intention of "forgiving past transgressions."
Amidst the anxious anticipation of Qiu Nai's fans, she calmly said, "Alright, let's talk about Qiu Nai… Qiu Nai doesn't really have any fatal flaws. He's just a bit short, a bit too paternalistic, and a bit slow. Oh, and there's something you might not know: he's their eighth child."
With a smile, after Qiu Nai closed his eyes in pain and despair, Xu Gui dropped a bombshell.
She said, "He's also their only son. After giving birth to seven daughters in a row, his mother finally had Qiu Nai, her eighth child."
Netizens were somewhat surprised.
Actually, upon hearing "seven daughters," everyone immediately understood. Clearly, Qiu Nai's parents were the kind of couple who favored sons over daughters, having eight children in a row just to have a son.
Xu Gui's next words confirmed their suspicions.
"...So, there's a big age gap between Qiu Nai and his seven older sisters. His eldest sister is a full twenty years older than him; she could be his mother." "
His seven sisters dote on him, after all, he's the only son in the Qiu family. But because of this, if any woman wants to marry Qiu Nai, she might have seven mothers-in-law." Xu Gui humorously stated a fact that terrified countless normal girls. After all
, one mother-in-law in a normal family is already quite formidable; otherwise, the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship wouldn't be such a perennial topic. And Qiu Nai now has seven more? Including his mother, that makes eight.
Netizens: Wow~ In this situation, anyone who dares to marry Qiu Nai is a true warrior.
Actually, as Xu Gui said, Qiu Nai doesn't have any fatal flaws. He hasn't committed any crimes, nor does he gamble, drink, or womanize; he's just a bit stupid and arrogant—that's Xu Gui's assessment.
Of course, this doesn't mean Qiu Nai is perfect.
Xu Gui: "His family isn't well-off. He did poorly in school and didn't get into the local high school, which required a large tuition fee that his family couldn't afford. So his parents married off his fourth sister."
"Oh, before that, his other three sisters were already married. His parents asked for a large dowry, but they didn't use it; they saved it all for him to use when he grew up and got married."
After his fourth sister married off, he still had his fifth, sixth, and seventh sisters. Anyway, whenever his family needed money, marrying off a daughter would provide the funds.
When Qiu Nai went to university, his parents married off his fifth sister, using the dowry for his tuition, but that wasn't enough.
The cost of living in City A is very high. A month's living expenses alone are enough to bankrupt this not-so-wealthy family, let alone Qiu Nai becoming a celebrity and needing to package himself with designer brands. That's when his parents married off his sixth sister.
"His sixth sister looks a lot like him, very beautiful. At twenty-five, she's as fresh and beautiful as a flower. When she goes out, people can't help but take a second look… So, her parents sold her for a good price."
Xu Gui used the word "sold" because the person she married was mentally challenged. While it's called a marriage, to put it more politely, she was practically bought, costing a total of 280,000 yuan.
For many people, 280,000 yuan might not seem like much; in many places, the bride price is often 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. But in Qiu Nai's hometown, the bride price is only 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, so 280,000 yuan is undoubtedly a high price.
"And so, Qiu Nai's sixth sister's 280,000 yuan dowry successfully packaged him into a glamorous image, bringing him into the public eye and making him a star..."
As for Qiu Nai's sixth sister, the woman who married the mentally challenged man, neither Qiu Nai nor his parents cared.
"They even thought they had found a good husband for Qiu Nai's sixth sister..." Xu Gui sneered, "At least that family is rich. If she marries into that family, she'll be set for life, won't have to do tiring housework, and won't have to worry about money. All she has to do is offer her womb and give birth to a son for that family."
How wonderful that life would be! How enviable! As for everything else, isn't money enough?
Xu Gui said, "And Qiu Nai told himself the same thing, so he spent the money with a clear conscience. After all, this wasn't the first time he'd spent money from selling his sisters. The dowries of his first five sisters were all spent on him."
Qiu Nai's fans always praised him for his good temperament, saying he had the air of a noble young master and that his family was obviously well-off. But they didn't know that Qiu Nai's "temperament" was cultivated by stepping on the blood and flesh of his six sisters.
If Qiu Nai was a tall and beautiful tree, then his seven sisters were the fertilizer and nutrients that supported his continuous growth.
Perhaps Qiu Nai knew that this was wrong, but compared to the benefits he received, he chose to be "deaf and mute," not seeing or hearing, as if this made his behavior moral.
[I never expected Qiu Nai to be this kind of person...]
After hearing what Xu Gui said, netizens couldn't help but feel complicated. Of course, the most complicated were Qiu Nai's fans.
If you had to describe the feelings of Qiu Nai's fans right now, it would be like the sky has fallen. As a male celebrity, Qiu Nai attracts mostly female fans, and women are the most empathetic to other women's pain. This makes it impossible for them to pretend nothing happened and continue supporting Qiu Nai.
[Just consider all my love over the past few years wasted!]
[Now, the thought that his success was achieved by stepping on the happiness of his seven older sisters makes me furious. I think the person I like can be ugly, not imposing enough, or even not outstanding enough, but their character cannot be so despicable!]
[Qiu Nai, how can you so calmly suck the blood of your sisters? As one of the sisters who have also been sucked dry, I really don't know how to describe my feelings right now!]
[Not cursing him is the last bit of dignity I can leave for this love.]
Xu Gui's live stream was clearly a massive exodus of Qiu Nai's fans, and on Weibo, apart from a few die-hard fans, Qiu Nai's follower count was also dropping at an alarming rate.
Seeing this scene, Qiu Nai's face was filled with grief and regret—he regretted it deeply.
He had thought Xu Gui was a weak and easily bullied little rabbit, but who knew that this little rabbit had a mouthful of steel teeth, capable of killing anyone who bit her.
He could remain calm when Tang Xu was the one bitten before, but now that he was the one being bitten, Qiu Nai found it difficult to stay calm.
He hurriedly got up and went to the side to make phone calls, frantically contacting people at the company, trying to get them to protect him. Netizens are a forgetful bunch; if the company was willing to step in and protect him, he still had a chance to make a comeback. Lin Xu and Qiu Nai had clearly suffered a public relations disaster, their reputations plummeting
.
Now, of the three people Xu Gui mentioned, only her agent, Rong Yi, remained. Rong Yi had previously been able to gossip about Lin Xu, but now, he couldn't laugh anymore, especially after seeing the fates of Lin Xu and Qiu Nai; he couldn't help but shudder.
Coincidentally, Xu Gui also mentioned him in the live stream.
"...The last person I want to talk about is my agent, Mr. Rong Yi." Xu Gui smiled at the camera. "Before that, let me play a recording for everyone."
Seeing her pick up her phone, Rong Yi's eyelids twitched, and he quickly sent Xu Gui a message, hoping she would be lenient.
Xu Gui naturally saw the message, but didn't even raise an eyebrow.
She had said before that she would definitely get rid of this agent who was holding her back when she had the chance, but she hadn't found a suitable opportunity. However, now she felt it was the best time to kick him out.
Xu Gui quickly opened the recording she had made before, the conversation between Rong Yi and her during their first meeting.
"...You're new to the industry, don't have many works yet. Qiu Nai and Tang Xu happen to need to generate buzz and hype. If news of your involvement gets out, they can both harass their fans and solidify their CP fanbase, while you'll also gain some buzz and attention." "
...You don't agree? Are you trying to breach the contract? Can you come up with 80 million in breach of contract fees?"
Rong
's manager's voice came through the recording. Hearing his manipulative and threatening words towards Xu Gui, Xu Gui's fans were furious.
"I already thought this idiot manager was completely irresponsible. Xu Gui is an artist in their company, and when she comes out to film, they don't even give her an assistant. What company treats its artists so poorly?" "
Not only that, but when Xu Gui was called a homewrecker, this company didn't stand up for her at all. They're utterly trash."
"So, now the truth is finally out. No wonder this damn company didn't give our little Gui anything; they were planning to use her as cannon fodder from the beginning!" [
Wait, so the so-called "mistress scandal" last time was also orchestrated by these three? They deliberately hyped it up, one side wanted money, the other wanted popularity and buzz, and Xu Gui was just the cannon fodder?] [
Ha, I said there was something fishy about this before, and I got scolded by Tang and Qiu's fans. Now those two are coming out to scold me again!]
...
Xu Gui's fans were furious, and the barrage of insults against Rong Yi and the Tang and Qiu families was so thick it completely covered the live stream screen.
At this time, few of the Tang and Qiu's fans came out to say anything, after all, they were too busy trying to salvage their own reputations, not to mention that they had lost many fans.
At this moment, Xu Gui started talking about Rong Yi's scandal.
As a middle-aged man of low character, Agent Rong's life revolves around nothing more than gossip, money, and extramarital affairs. Our Agent Rong is even more shameless; at forty-eight, he's keeping a nineteen-year-old girl as a mistress—a year or two younger than his daughter.
Of course, having a mistress is just a minor moral flaw for Rong Yi, at most earning him a few words of contempt, so Xu Gui only mentioned it casually. The biggest problem, however…
"…he likes to be a pimp," Xu Gui said. "Yes, exactly what you're thinking, a literal pimp. Rong Yi has a notebook filled with the names of countless patrons."
Xu Gui used "patrons," not "rich people," because if possible…
"I'd rather call them clients; 'patron' is too elegant." Xu Gui sighed, his smile revealing the same venomous intent that netizens expected.
"When he sees a promising young woman or man just starting out in the industry, he'll act as a go-between, introducing them to these so-called sugar daddies."
Xu Gui's wording was relatively polite, but everyone still felt a chill run down their spines.
"Of course, if it's consensual, that's fine. But the problem is, many people aren't actually willing." Xu Gui's voice turned cold. "However, when they encounter unwilling minor celebrities, Rong Yi will find ways to get them to agree. As for those who are particularly stubborn, they have ways to soften their bones…"
Xu Gui didn't elaborate on these methods, but the implication was chilling. These were things they couldn't possibly know, and Xu Gui didn't go into detail.
However, the fans worried that Xu Gui wouldn't be afraid of retaliation for saying all this. Clearly, Rong Yi had powerful backers.
To this, Xu Gui casually replied, "If anyone tries to do anything to me because of what I said, well, I wish them well."
Her attitude was quite confident; after all, the Xuan Turtle clan, as auspicious beasts with extremely powerful fortune in the world, were protected by the Heavenly Dao. In other words, anyone who wanted to harm Xu Gui would be punished by Heaven.
Xu Gui even somewhat anticipated what these people would do to her; that scene would surely be quite interesting.
Xu Gui's expression also caught the attention of some people, and immediately, many intelligent individuals suppressed their restless thoughts, after all, there were precedents.
However, a few fools, blinded by anger, did some irrational things.
Besides these matters, Rong Yi had also embezzled company funds over the years.
Xu Gui calculated and said, "Over the years, he's probably embezzled twenty or thirty million from the company. Tsk, but his wife didn't get a single penny; it was all spent on his little mistress."
Why would a nineteen-year-old girl be with him? Wasn't it all for money? "It couldn't possibly be for his feelings, could it?"
Xu Gui sighed. "I hope my manager will be alright after today."
Leaving aside the sugar daddies in his notebook, his wife already has a brother who dotes on his sister and even knows Muay Thai.
Meanwhile, Rong Yi was far from alright. Cold sweat was pouring down his forehead, especially as he saw the incoming calls on his phone. He was filled with fear.
He thought Xu Gui would only talk about his affair, but he hadn't expected Xu Gui to know even those other things.
His affair might only result in his brother-in-law breaking his leg, but if the other things got out, it would be a different story... Watching the calls light up and dim on his phone screen, Rong Yi no longer cared about the curious and inquisitive looks from the others in the room.
Qiu Nai and Lin Xu's assistants sat "obediently" to the side, their faces showing worry, but their eyes were constantly darting around—as bystanders, who else could be so close to the drama?
The feeling can be summed up in two words: thrilling.
Xu Gui's livestream was already at its peak, with viewership exceeding ten million. Xu Gui, who had been dropping one bombshell after another, casually remarked, "Alright, we've covered the three of them. That's all for today's chat. I just hope we won't have the chance to chat like this again."
With that, ignoring the millions of viewers' attempts to stop her, she abruptly ended the livestream, leaving over ten million people staring blankly at the black screen.
So, Xu Gui really just shut down the livestream like that?
What a cold-blooded, ruthless woman!
But it's okay, the live stream is over, they have other battlefields to
fight on. Leaving the live stream, the group immediately went to Weibo. At this time, the trending topics on Weibo were still prominently displayed at the top, while the following three trending topics were: #XuGuiIsGoingCrazy
! So, why did you mess with her? Now you've kicked a hornet's nest, haven't you? #
#TangXu's original name is LinXu? Her true identity is actually the illegitimate daughter of the Tang family's live-in son-in-law? #
#QiuNai, a success story built on the marriages of seven older sisters #
# "Xinghai" Rong Yi's agent, suspected of being
a pimp in the entertainment industry? # Weibo deleted several trending topics, all related to Tang, Qiu, and Rong, almost dominating the trending topics for the night. In comparison, the top three trending topics seemed particularly ironic—it almost confirmed that these three trending topics were bought, otherwise they would have fallen down long ago.
And this is just one of the trending topics. There are countless other topics that haven't made it to the trending list yet. Clicking into each topic reveals a lively discussion, with most comments coming from real people, only a few from paid trolls trying to whitewash the situation.
Unfortunately, netizens are sharp-eyed, and the paid trolls were immediately spotted and condemned by the masses.
Netizens exclaimed:
[Wonderful, truly wonderful! What an eventful day! Indeed, staying in Xu Gui's livestream room is never short of stories. The Evil Chaos faction has had a very fulfilling day!]
[Hahaha, first Tang Xu, then Qiu Nai, and finally Rong Yi… Xu Gui has really made it look like the King of Hell has called out names! So why did these three mess with Xu Gui in the first place? Now they won't have the chance to mess with him anymore!]
[You guys shouldn't try to whitewash him; even if you pour on detergent, you can't cleanse him up!] [
Comparing the three, Qiu Nai's situation seems relatively minor; at least he harmed his own family, not others. But Tang and Rong harmed others!]
[I'm curious how the Tang family will handle Tang Xu's situation. Hehehe, my family has some connections with the Tang family, and I'm currently getting a piece of the story. Apparently, the Tang family has already sent someone to bring Tang Xu back.]
[Stop trying to defend Qiu Nai. He's a man who grew up sucking the blood of his own sister, a beneficiary—disgusting!]
[I think among these three, Xu Gui's manager's situation is the most terrifying. The other two are at most morally flawed, but this Rong guy, isn't he breaking the law?]
[Anyway, tonight is really exciting! I'd usually be asleep by now, but I'm still frantically scrolling through Weibo, I don't want to sleep at all!]
[Don't want to sleep +1, just want to see what other gossip there is. Many bystanders have already come out with revelations, one after another. Is this what they call "when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down"?] ... This night was undoubtedly a sleepless one for Tang, Qiu, Rong, and their company, and also for the vast majority of netizens. Every refresh of the page offered a juicy juicy story, leading many office workers to stay up all night, waking up the next morning with huge dark circles under their eyes.
Upon arriving at work, seeing their colleagues' dark circles confirmed it – they'd all been up all night gossiping. At the Tang family home, the lights were on all night. Everyone in the Tang family was gathered in the living room, where the atmosphere was heavy. However, the Tang family was small; mainly Tang Miaoxin and her husband were called in, their expressions somewhat bewildered by the late-night summons. When Tang Baozhu recounted the events, Tang Miaoxin's first reaction was shock, but not disbelief—no wonder she felt this way. She and Lin Hai had been married for many years, their child Tang Baozhu was already so grown up, and their relationship had always been very good. She had never imagined that Lin Hai would betray her. "Could there be a mistake?" Tang Miaoxin subconsciously looked at Lin Hai. Upon hearing Tang Baozhu's words, a flicker of panic crossed Lin Hai's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Baozhu, where did you hear this story? It sounds so convincing, but I've never done any of those things. It's all slander." He said sternly, "I think someone dislikes me and is deliberately spreading rumors and making things up about me." Tang Miaoxin also asked, "Yes, Baozhu, where did you hear all this? Your father isn't that kind of person." Tang Baozhu's expression was indifferent. She was twenty-six years old this year. Compared to Lin Xu, who had a cool and aloof demeanor but lacked assertiveness, Tang Baozhu, who had gradually accepted her work at Tang's, appeared more capable. Her eyes were bright and sharp, as if she could instantly see through people's thoughts. Therefore, Lin Hai was even a little intimidated when facing this daughter. Now, under Tang Baozhu's gaze, he couldn't help but avoid her eyes. Tang Baozhu's expression remained unchanged. To her mother's question, she simply said, "I've already sent someone to pick up Tang Xu and have them take two strands of her hair for a paternity test with Dad. If things go smoothly, we should have the report by tomorrow morning." "So, the source of this isn't important. We'll know tomorrow whether it's true or false." She valued the result more than the details or lengthy explanations; the result was the most important and convincing. "If Dad has a clear conscience, you shouldn't be worried about the paternity test results, right?" she countered, asking Lin Hai. Cold sweat instantly beaded on Lin Hai's face, and he paled slightly. Anyone could see he was panicked. Seeing his expression, Tang Miaoxin felt she understood something. She looked at her husband with disappointment and questioned, "Is everything Miaoxin said true?" Lin Hai couldn't understand how Tang Baozhu knew about this. He had kept it a secret for so many years; how could it be exposed now? But he knew his daughter's methods all too well. She was completely different from her mother, decisive and ruthless in her actions, very similar to her grandfather's style. Once she caught up in this matter, she wouldn't let it go easily. His mind raced, and Lin Hai turned to Tang Miaoxin, his expression remorseful. "Miaoxin, I'm sorry, I've lied to you all these years!" Seeing Tang Miaoxin's deeply hurt expression, he explained, "But that was all before I married you. I broke up with her before I met you, and after marrying you, I never had any contact with her again." " Tang Xu, I only found out after I met her. I never imagined that I was pregnant when I broke up with her, and she even gave birth to that child… In those years, she had a very hard time raising the child, and Tang Xu didn't have a good life with her either. I had no choice but to bring the child into the Tang family." His tone was very sincere; it would have been even better if what he said was as sincere as she was. "You could have told me from the beginning!" Tang Miaoxin shook off his hand, angrily saying. Lin Hai said anxiously, "I was just afraid you'd be angry and sad. If I had told you back then, would you have agreed to let Tang Xu into the house?" Tang Miaoxin said confidently, "Of course not. She's not my daughter. Why should our Tang family take care of her?" "Cough cough cough!" Old Master Tang coughed lightly twice. He was old and had recently caught a cold, so he wasn't feeling well. When he coughed, everyone's eyes immediately fell on him.
Tang Baozhu walked over: "Grandpa..."
Old Master Tang lifted his eyelids and said, "Baozhu, tell your mother how this man came up with the idea of bringing Tang Xu into the family."
Hearing this, Lin Hai's heart trembled.
Tang Baozhu looked at Tang Miaoxin and said, "Mom, do you remember? The reason Dad brought Tang Xu into the house was that I was prone to illness, and maybe bringing a child home could dispel my illness, right?"
Tang Miaoxin nodded.
Tang Baozhu stood there, and although she was shorter than Lin Hai, when she looked at him, Lin Hai had the illusion that she was looking down on him.
She said, word by word, "Then do you know that the reason I was so sick for so long was because Dad bribed the nanny who took care of me to open the window in my room, the one directly in front of my bed, every day so I would be exposed to the cold wind?" She was only
eight years old then. It would be strange if such a young child didn't get sick after being exposed to the cold wind for half the night.
Tang Miaoxin was incredulous upon hearing this, but she also knew her daughter's character well and knew she wasn't one to speak without reason. She was furious.
"Is that really true?" she questioned Lin Hai.
Cold sweat dripped down Lin Hai's forehead. He truly couldn't understand why Tang Baozhu knew about such a secret. Surely she had someone with the ability to predict the future?
It had to be said, Lin Hai had indeed learned the truth, but he never dreamed that Tang Baozhu had actually encountered someone with such foresight. Otherwise, he didn't know how long he would have kept this a secret.
"The aunt who took care of Baozhu quit after Baozhu recovered," Old Mrs. Tang said at the opportune moment. "Baozhu has already sent someone to look for this aunt. Once they find her, confirming the truth of this matter will be very simple."
In other words, even if Lin Hai denied it, it wouldn't matter; if it was true, it would definitely be discovered.
Lin Hai's face turned deathly pale. Tang Miaoxin looked at him with disappointment and heartache, angrily saying, "How could you do this? Baozhu is your daughter too! How could you bear to do this?"
Thinking of her daughter's weak state during that time, tears instantly welled up in Tang Miaoxin's eyes, overwhelmed with grief.
Lin Hai: "Miaoxin..."
"Mom!" Tang Baozhu came over, reaching out to support her, saying, "Dad did more than that. After reuniting with Tang Xu's birth mother, he's maintained a close relationship with her all these years. I heard they even had another son."
Tang Miaoxin was shocked. She turned to look at Lin Hai.
Lin Hai, who had just been sweating profusely, now had cold sweat rolling down his forehead. He knew the situation was dire and instinctively went to plead with the most soft-hearted person in the Tang family.
"Miaoxin…"
"Ah!"
He tried to reach for Tang Miaoxin's hand, but to his surprise, she reacted so strongly, shaking his hand away. In his bewildered state, Tang Miaoxin nervously grabbed her daughter Tang Baozhu's hand, tears streaming down her face, and cried out,
"What should I do, Baozhu? Mommy's not clean anymore… Mommy won't catch some disease, will she?"
The more Tang Miaoxin thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She immediately turned and left, saying, "No, I need to go to the hospital for a full checkup. I still have so many bags I haven't bought, and the jewelry I want hasn't arrived yet. I don't want to get sick!"
Lin Hai's face flushed red, and he couldn't help but argue, "I'm perfectly clean, okay!" Apart from Tang Xu's mother, he hadn't had any contact with other women. He was pure and innocent, perfectly clean, okay?
Tang Miaoxin ignored him, determined to go to the hospital for a checkup.
Tang Baozhu called after her, "What about Dad's matter..."
Tang Miaoxin didn't stop, not turning her head, and said, "You can do whatever you want. Anyway, you won't hurt me."
She was a mama's girl, a dad's girl, and now she was a daughter's girl. Anyway, her family wouldn't do anything bad to her. Whatever they said, she would do—this was Tang Miaoxin's experience as a rich second-generation who lived off others.
Anyway, her family wouldn't harm her, listening to them was always the right thing to do.
Lin Hai, watching this scene, felt as if he had seen his own hope of survival fly away. At this moment, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
It had always been like this. Tang Miaoxin, this woman, clearly said she loved him and was obedient to him. She would agree to whatever he said, but no matter what he wanted to do, she would ask her father and her mother for everything. After Tang Baozhu was born, there was another daughter to ask. And if any one of the three objected, she would directly choose to reject him.
Ha, if we're talking about ruthlessness, the ruthless one is clearly Tang Miaoxin!
Lin Hai thought bitterly.
But upon seeing the other three members of the Tang family, his hatred transformed into helplessness and despair. He had married into the Tang family to become a superior person, so why had he ended up like this?
...
Xu Gui was unaware of the Tang family's turmoil. As the culprit behind it all, she returned to her hotel, turned off her phone, washed up, and went to sleep. She slept soundly that night.
When she woke up the next day and went downstairs for breakfast, she noticed that everyone else had incredibly dark circles under their eyes. Even Fu Xia and the two photographers looked exhausted, as if they hadn't slept all night.
Xu Gui was puzzled.
"What, did you all go thieving last night?"
And it was a group thieving? Look at the number of thieves—there were so many! Besides herself, there wasn't a single person looking normal.
