Chapter 29 A Slap

During such events, idols would typically answer that they love their fans the most, or their parents.

For virtual idols, professing love for their fans was almost a standard response.

Maintaining a clean record with no scandals was a key focus for virtual idols to secure their fanbases.

This was practically a question with a guaranteed point.

"Suisui likes everyone who likes Suisui, and of course, Suisui likes Mr. Gu the most." Suisui's words stunned everyone.

Everyone naturally knew who Mr. Gu was, but this answer was still somewhat unexpected.

"Your management of this employee is quite good," Bai Yuqi nudged Gu Yaoyang beside him from the audience.

Gu Yaoyang was also momentarily taken aback, seemingly not expecting Suisui to have such a setting.

Recalling who voiced Suisui, Gu Yaoyang's expression turned somewhat subtle.

"Why is that?" the host asked curiously.

"Because Mr. Gu is Suisui's daddy, and Suisui likes daddy the most~" Suisui's shy gesture of covering her cheeks was just like a simple and adorable little girl.

This demeanor charmed everyone.

The recording concluded smoothly, and everyone relaxed the slightly stiff smiles on their faces.

"Ling Feng Han, I'm really sorry, I just..." Wen Shengsheng approached Ling Feng Han with an apologetic expression.

"Please excuse me." Ling Feng Han didn't even glance at Wen Shengsheng and walked directly backstage.

Seeing Ling Feng Han's actions further angered Wen Shengsheng.

What was there to act so proud about?

Backstage, Ling Feng Han saw Xia Qing Tian chatting with the staff, and greeted her with a smile, "You've worked hard."

"Not at all, you're the one who worked hard today," Xia Qing Tian said with a smile. "Hearing your song live was so powerful, it was truly amazing!"

Ling Feng Han merely chuckled and said nothing more. He mentioned he had another small interview and would see them later before busying himself again.

Wen Shengsheng had come to cause trouble, and their managing to handle the situation this far was already the best they could do.

They hoped the post-production editing would be friendly; of course, the company would handle negotiations, so they didn't need to worry about it.

Li Mengxiao also felt a cold sweat, holding Xia Qing Tian's hand tightly, while Xia Qing Tian spent a good while comforting her.

"Wait for me, I need to say hello to a friend, then we'll head back to the hotel." Xia Qing Tian patted Li Mengxiao's shoulder, then followed the crowd to look around. She didn't see Mobius, only a roguish blonde man smiling at her subtly.

Xia Qing Tian gave him a surprised glance and then left the set with Li Mengxiao. In the car, Xia Qing Tian sent a message to Mobius.

Meanwhile, on the second-floor staircase at the recording site, Yu Lin Wan stopped Mobius, her words full of grievance: "Yaoyang, I'm truly sorry. Today was an accident. I didn't mean to make trouble for anyone from Gu's Entertainment."

"It's nothing. You just did what you had to do. There's no need to apologize to me," Gu Yaoyang said coldly. "Wanqing Entertainment is also launching a virtual idol. It's normal for you not to like Suisui. Wanqing Entertainment hasn't been idle in such matters."

"Yaoyang, it's really not like that. Please believe me, I..." Yu Lin Wan was interrupted by Gu Yaoyang before she could finish.

"Believe you? Are you worthy?" Gu Yaoyang gave Yu Lin Wan one last look and turned to leave.

Watching Gu Yaoyang's retreating back, Yu Lin Wan's unsaid words seemed to be abruptly cut off, unable to utter a single sound.

As he walked downstairs, Gu Yaoyang saw Bai Yuqi smiling eerily at him. "Xia Qing Tian came looking for you earlier but couldn't find you."

As soon as Bai Yuqi finished speaking, Gu Yaoyang's phone received a message from Xia Qing Tian.

[I wanted to say hello before leaving, but I didn't see you. I'm heading back to the hotel first~]

[I was just discussing the editing with the staff. Be careful.] Gu Yaoyang replied to the message before putting his phone back into his pocket. "Let's go."

"Go where?" Bai Yuqi asked curiously.

"I'll accompany you back to the Bai family," Gu Yaoyang replied.

"Wow! Enemies! You're truly family! Just as expected of the brotherhood forged over diapers!" Bai Yuqi said gratefully. "You're going to plead my case to Grandpa, right?!"

"No, to report."

"..."

The concept of brotherhood was truly unreliable.

At the same time, Yu Lin Wan, who remained where she was, felt a sharp pain in her heart.

They were once the closest people. But now...

Look at how cold Gu Yaoyang looked at her now, how distant his address to her was.

There was no going back.

"Wan-jie." Wen Shengsheng appeared behind Yu Lin Wan, about to say something.

Yu Lin Wan suddenly turned and slapped Wen Shengsheng hard across the face.

Wen Shengsheng, stunned by the slap, stumbled a few steps, nearly falling.

"Who told you to act on your own initiative?" Yu Lin Wan questioned coldly.

"I..." Wen Shengsheng, covering her face, had a blank mind.

"Wan-jie, our Wanqing Entertainment is about to launch a virtual idol. Sheng Sheng did this for our company too," Wen Shengsheng's agent quickly stepped forward to defend her.

Hearing her agent's words, Yu Lin Wan's expression softened slightly.

She knew in her heart that Wen Shengsheng's methods were just a bit crude. As a rival company, it wasn't wrong for Wen Shengsheng to cause trouble.

Otherwise, after hearing that Gu's Entertainment was going to launch Suisui on this program, she wouldn't have asked her to personally bring people over for an ambush.

But...

The thought of Gu Yaoyang's words, the memory of his gaze towards her, made Yu Lin Wan feel a deep sorrow. If she didn't vent this pain, she would go mad.

"If you act on your own initiative again, you can get lost." After slapping Wen Shengsheng, Yu Lin Wan felt much better. She only issued this warning and turned to leave.

The agent sighed in relief after Yu Lin Wan left, looking at Wen Shengsheng's face with concern. "I hope it swells down soon. You have another interview the day after tomorrow."

"I'm fine." Wen Shengsheng clenched her fists tightly at her sides. One day, she would climb to the very top, and no one would ever dare to bully her again.

This time, she was determined to become famous, no matter the cost.

"Did you record what happened on stage earlier?" Wen Shengsheng looked at her agent.

"I recorded a segment." The agent handed Wen Shengsheng the video she had filmed.

It was the segment where Wen Shengsheng argued with Suisui.

This segment would likely be cut during the official broadcast.

Earlier on stage, she had deliberately shown a wronged expression. She had chosen her position well, ensuring she would be captured on camera.

Then, she would buy some publicity, first by portraying herself as crying on set, and then releasing the video where Suisui called her 'auntie' and showed disrespect. She would make sure Gu's Entertainment's project completely collapsed.

She wanted to see how the voice actor, who couldn't even show her face, would survive in the entertainment industry in the future!
