He Couldn't Take Losing Two Alter Egos in a Row!... (continued)

Up until she was taken to the hospital, the live stream footage showed that the situation was unfolding as the paparazzi had described. Wen Feiran had only casually scrolled through Weibo, and she was on the verge of a breakdown.

Perhaps his resentment ran too deep. Zou Yuxing and Su Shangting temporarily put aside their personal grudges and helped him clarify things online. Unexpectedly, the discussion about the matter became more and more heated, and netizens laughed without caring about Wen Feiran's life or death.

[Haha, I never expected that the ultimate victim would be Wen Feiran!]

[I think the leak was correct. Isn't Wen Feiran's public image still intact in a certain sense? lol]

[I envy Wen Feiran's life; it's full of drama and never boring.]

[These days, you can't be a paparazzi without some imagination. What the hell? Wen Feiran is being questioned, and he's supposedly a reincarnation of a gossip god?!]

[What a coincidence, I just bought a watermelon, I'm going to go and offer it some as a sacrifice, lol emoji]

On the other end of the phone, Wen Feiran's expression was cold. With a swift movement, he sliced the watermelon in two with a sharp crack.

Zou Yuxing licked his lips and pleaded humbly, "Could you share a piece with me?"

Wen Feiran, her lips glistening with moisture, retorted, "Have you forgotten the doctor's instructions?"

The doctor's advice was very straightforward: if he continued to act recklessly, both the top and bottom switches would malfunction simultaneously, and it might require two toilets connected together to save him.

Zou Yuxing's lips twitched twice, and he silently curled up into a ball under the covers, ignoring them.

Recording variety shows is their job, and Zou Yuxing's recovery ability is also very strong. He was full of energy the next day and insisted on participating in the subsequent arrangements.

The production crew tried to persuade him twice, but they couldn't dissuade Zou Yuxing and had to reluctantly agree.

The third day was spent visiting Meng Jingxiu's home.

Meng Jingxiu has always relied on flaunting his wealth and marketing a rich persona to maintain his popularity, but compared to the real tycoons Zou Yuxing and Su Shangting, he can't hold his head up at all and can only live with his tail between his legs. Unexpectedly, Su Shangting was placed ahead of him, took an unconventional approach and chose to show off his cooking skills, which even caused a live broadcast incident. In this way, he can take advantage of the loophole and continue to market his persona.

He's also intelligent. If he flaunts his wealth openly, he'll easily come across as a nouveau riche and get roasted by Su Shangting, who can't stand anything wrong, turning him into a clown.

Finally, he chose a high-end marketing strategy that incorporates a touch of lifestyle, which requires a lot of money. But by using art and elegance as a cover, it becomes an ideal state that is very close to the lives of ordinary people. It is neither annoying nor does it evoke strong empathy and longing.

Meng Jingxiu arranged a densely packed schedule, accurate to the minute, and finally chose the art exhibition over afternoon tea and golf.

The art exhibition is not only rich in artistic atmosphere and associated with words like romance and leisure, but it also has a unique advantage: it can showcase one's refined taste and attract lavish spending.

Meng Jingxiu had a very clever plan. He had everything prepared, first having Wen Feiran and the others gather at his home, where he prepared exquisite desserts and fruits. He didn't take them on a tour of the villa from beginning to end; the backdrop alone was enough to demonstrate their wealth.

Su Shangting and Zou Yuxing have always disdained pretense and revealed their family backgrounds as soon as they debuted. However, Meng Jingxiu is very mysterious. No one knows which family he is the young master of, let alone his family's business scope or how he made his fortune.

Meng Jingxiu wasn't deliberately hiding it; he was waiting for the perfect time.

"I'm sorry, my parents have been traveling abroad on business recently, and their focus is shifting overseas. I'm the only one left at home. Since you're here today, I asked my aunt and uncle to go home and rest."

Zou Yuxing tried to sneak a bite of fruit but was glared at by Wen Feiran. To cover his guilt, he nonchalantly replied, "Will your parents be at ease leaving you alone in the country?"

Meng Jingxiu's smile widened. "That's why I've always tried so hard to reach higher places, so that my parents can see me more often while they're abroad, and they'll feel more at ease."

Meng Jingxiu's words received unanimous praise. Netizens were moved by his filial piety and also discussed his family background.

The live stream room was full of talented people from all walks of life. Soon, someone recognized the casually placed luxury goods and antiques, proving that Meng Jingxiu were worthwhile.

Wen Feiran and her two friends were familiar with each other, and their popularity and discussion level were the highest. The two new guests also banded together to fight for their own interests. Song Lindi received a hint and took the initiative to ask, "Jing Xiu, can I go to your room to take a look?"

Meng Jingxiu had been waiting for this very sentence, and immediately led everyone to visit his room.

Meng Jingxiu's own room was surprisingly understated, with no luxury brands or designer items. Instead, it was filled with niche but stylish pieces of art, the most eye-catching of which was a whole row of bookshelves.

They chatted as they toured the room. Wen Feiran walked to the end of the room and saw a small door. Curious, she asked, "What's this?"

"This is my walk-in closet," Meng Jingxiu said quickly, rushing forward and blocking Wen Feiran's path.

Meng Jingxiu was on edge, his eyes were very wary, and he even glared at Wen Feiran with a fierce look, completely different from his previous demeanor.

Wen Feiran paused for a few seconds, then subconsciously apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go in without your permission."

Meng Jingxiu then realized he had overreacted, and winked playfully, "Actually, it's because I didn't tidy up the clothes and threw all sorts of random things in. I was afraid I'd give myself away..."

He became increasingly guilty as he spoke, biting his lower lip and saying in a pitiful voice, "If this gets out, everyone will know that I'm not actually that clean and tidy."

This was originally a trivial matter, but it added to his image as approachable and adorable, and the atmosphere in the live stream was relaxed, with no one attacking him because of it.

This was just a minor incident. Meng Jingxiu walked behind, watching Wen Feiran move away from the door, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
