Chapter 88: It Doesn’t Matter, Jiang Sui Will Step In

When Shi Heng noticed Jiang Sui staring at the poster, he raised an eyebrow. “Have you taken a liking to him? Let me tell you, you can’t just piggyback on this little idol’s popularity—the girlfriend fans alone would be enough to give you a headache.”

Jiang Sui bristled. “But what if he’s the one who takes a liking to me?”

Shi Heng gave her a once-over. “Admittedly, you do have the looks for it, but I advise you not to get any ideas.”

His raised eyebrow said it all.

Don’t even think about getting into a younger man-older woman romance.

He hadn’t signed Jiang Sui just to clean up her messes—he wanted both fame and fortune.

Well, he had to admit, her uniqueness had indeed bewitched him.

Jiang Sui suddenly poked Shi Heng, curiosity getting the better of her. “Say, if a star like me suddenly got exposed for being secretly married, what would you do?”

She was just bored and also making contingency plans.

After all, if her marriage to Lu Ye was ever made public, it wouldn’t be as if she hadn’t given Shi Heng a heads-up.

Shi Heng crossed his arms and stared at her, then jabbed her on the forehead. “Secretly married? Don’t tell me you’re hiding a kid too?” As another thought struck him, he added, “Xuanxuan doesn’t count.”

Jiang Sui rubbed her nose. “It’s not like hiding kids is rare in the entertainment industry.”

Shi Heng: “…”

Jiang Sui’s most recent schedule had her appearing on a talk show Shi Heng had lined up for her: “Yu Lu’s Appointment.”

A couple of days before the show, Jiang Sui was suddenly pulled into a small WeChat group.

She glanced at the members.

Oh, wasn’t that Xu Manman and Li Lan?

Xu Manman: “Do you know that the program invited Bai Xixue too this time?”

Li Lan: “Yeah, so what?”

Xu Manman: “Nothing, it’s just… I feel kind of uneasy. Bai Xixue is… weird.”

Li Lan: “If you have something to say, just say it. Stop beating around the bush.”

Xu Manman: “Ugh! Sister Lan, I’m just worried Bai Xixue will stir up trouble on the show again.”

Jiang Sui was suddenly reminded of the legend of four girls in a dorm but five chat groups.

Li Lan: “Doesn’t matter, Jiang Sui will handle it.”

Jiang Sui: “??”

Did these two think she didn’t exist?

Li Lan: “Oh, Jiang Sui dear. You still haven’t answered whether you’ll be godmother to my son. Come on, DM me.”

Xu Manman: “?? Why are you two having private chats now? I want in too—Jiang Sui, be my daughter’s godmother!”

Jiang Sui: …

So why had these two dragged her into this group again?

The day before the program was to be recorded, a Bai Xixue fan suddenly posted a sarcastic thread online.

“So this is the real Jiang Sui, huh? How impressive.”

The post described how Jiang Sui took Xuanxuan shopping for toys and ran into Bai Xixue and her son.

Both children wanted the same toy, but Jiang Sui and Lu Xuanxuan refused to back down, coming off as domineering and insistent that they had to have the toy.

In the end, Bai Xixue left with Ji Chuan, both of them looking aggrieved and reluctant.

There was even a photo attached showing Bai Xixue and Ji Chuan’s dejected figures as they left.

The post depicted Jiang Sui and her daughter as overbearing and arrogant, flaunting their celebrity status and even threatening the shop owner. (Accompanied by a paparazzi shot of Jiang Sui talking to the owner.)

Meanwhile, Bai Xixue and her son were cast as the weak, bullied victims.

For a time, netizens who didn’t know the truth showered Bai Xixue and her son with sympathy and concern.

As for Jiang Sui and Lu Xuanxuan, the condemnation and abuse began.

Especially the fans of Bai Xixue and Ji Chuan—they led the charge.
