Chapter 103: Adult Topics
Feng Liu truly stopped speaking.
Ye Ao Nai Wo He saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly said, "It's not me! It's another friend of mine!"
Lin Dan Da was a bit broken, "You say it first, is that female Live Streamer..."
Lin Sui quickly and nimbly muted Lin Dan Da's microphone.
It was still not very appropriate to say the name out loud in a public setting.
It wouldn't be good for anyone.
Last time he spoke in the group chat and someone took a screenshot and scolded him for several days, has he not learned his lesson yet!
Some of Lin Sui's old fans understood what was going on.
Once Ye Ao Nai Wo He brought it up like this, everyone had a bit of an impression.
New fans were still asking on the public screen who it was.
Fortunately, everyone was very sensible; seeing Lin Sui mute Lin Dan Da, they knew they couldn't name names, and not a single person said it out loud.
However, this kind of thing had been on the trending list at the time, and one could find it with a single search.
Lin Sui asked, "Is this what you've been busy with lately?"
"It's not me! It's my friend!" Ye Ao Nai Wo He said, "He wants to know what to do now."
At the end, he added, "You were the ones who told me to say it, and now that I've said it, you're condemning me... condemning my friend is wrong."
"What does your friend want to do? Get what he wants and then dump her?" Lin Sui asked.
"The problem is she doesn't want to get married, she just wants two million in Child Hiccup Fee," Ye Ao Nai Wo He said, speechless, "That's why I feel like I've been set up."
LV47 Lin Dan Da: "You can't come up with this money? I don't believe it?"
After being muted, Lin Dan Da was posting messages on the public screen.
Unfortunately, Ye Ao Nai Wo He was not looking at the public screen.
Lin Sui turned his microphone back on.
Lin Dan Da shouted, "You're not even willing to pay this money? Are you even a person?"
He was mainly angry because that female Live Streamer was Mo Mo.
At any rate, when the two of them watched Mo Mo's Live Streaming together in the past, they really liked her.
Although she was a bit too obvious about fishing for money.
This kind of obviousness was different from Lin Sui's kind of obviousness.
Lin Sui was the type who would ask for more if there was money and less if there wasn't, but she wouldn't find people to provoke the big spenders.
So far, the only one who had been provoked was Shen Ti.
But Shen Ti was mentally unstable, so he didn't count as a reference.
Mo Mo was the type who would find shills to provoke them into spending.
This was also something Lin Dan Da only found out later.
He even knew that Mo Mo's number one on the leaderboard at the time was someone from her guild, intentionally used to keep them hooked.
He had also been number one for a day back then, but he would soon be surpassed by the shills her guild found.
Using this method to complete a money-burning war of chasing and being chased.
Lin Dan Da was willing to spend money on Live Streamers; he hadn't been stingy when Lin Sui played PKs and needed votes.
But that kind of chasing and being chased, that constant pressure to spend money, was quite tiring to play.
So later, when he saw the better-looking Lin Sui, he switched over without hesitation.
Although he had complained about Mo Mo in Lin Sui's group before and had rejected her in private, he still had a bit of a filter when he liked her back then.
Now, telling him that Mo Mo went to find Ye Ao Nai Wo He afterwards, the brother he used to watch Live Streaming with.
And then the two of them got together and she got pregnant, and his brother wasn't even willing to pay.
Lin Dan Da felt like the sky was falling.
LV38 Feng Liu: "She was just aiming for the money; you should have known when you were playing."
Being set up was just what you deserved.
"Ahem..."
Lin Sui suddenly spoke up, "I'll send everyone a Red Envelope, let's call it a day."
Everyone: "???"
She explained, "Consider it compensation for taking your money without letting you hear the gossip; I'll end the Live Streaming after you grab them."
LV1 Yun Li: "Ah? You're not going to talk about it in the Live Streaming Room anymore?"
Lin Sui: "Adult topics, I'm just afraid there's a minor like you watching in the Live Streaming Room! You're fully responsible, kid!"
LV1 Yun Li: "..."
Lin Sui was generous for once and sent a Red Envelope of ten thousand yuan.
She joked, "Tell your dad to come over and spend some when he has time; to protect your physical and mental health, big sister is bleeding money today!"
The gifts from several waves of the wish list this time didn't even add up to ten thousand yuan.
Being this generous left everyone unable to say anything.
LV1 Yun Li: "I feel like you're trying to make me the scapegoat... Big sister, I'm still growing, I can't carry a black pot."
What did it have to do with him?
He was just an ordinary little boy who loved listening to gossip!
"Just carry the pot big sister gave you!"
A part of it was indeed because he was a minor, and another part was because she felt she had hurt another Live Streamer a little.
What if she got sued later!
Seeing the Red Envelope had been snatched up, Lin Sui kicked the two people from the Live Streaming Room and ended the Live Streaming.
It's fine to chat briefly about these things in the Live Streaming Room, but chatting in-depth about things like the Child Hiccup Technique is really quite inappropriate.
Although she gave out ten thousand, she was covered by the money from today's PK and the 100 "Hua Zi" gifts that Titi sent after getting agitated.
Plus the Ten-fold Withdrawal, she never loses.
…
Not even a minute after ending the Live Streaming, the door to her office was knocked on.
"Come in." Lin Sui was tidying up the things on her desk.
A Fu pushed the door open from the outside, "Are you going to handle this matter?"
Lin Sui didn't even lift her head, "Handle what? I'd just be asking for trouble."
If she had wanted to handle it, she wouldn't have ended the Live Streaming directly.
"At first I thought it was one of those dating-related funny stories like Lin Dan Da's, who knew it was this kind of thing."
The other party is a peer, who would dare to intervene?
A Fu nodded, "Not intervening is the right choice."
He leaned against the doorframe, his gaze following Lin Sui's movements, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked: "How do you view this kind of thing?"
Lin Sui looked up, "I view it with my two eyes."
A Fu: "..."
He took a deep breath and said it more bluntly, "I mean this kind of behavior, when they are short on money, they privately find a Top Fan Brother to..."
Thinking about what kind of thing it was, he felt a bit embarrassed.
Lin Sui sighed, "Sigh, alright, I won't hide it from you either. Back when I first started Live Streaming and asked you to help pay for takeout in private, I really couldn't afford to eat."
A Fu: "... You know that's not what I meant."
"Are you worried that I would do the same?" Lin Sui chuckled, "Besides that one time I asked you to help order takeout, have I ever done anything else to request a meeting with you?"
"... That's true, you haven't."
Even back when she thought Shen Ti was a bad person, she never asked him to come over to keep her company.
It was only later when he was truly worried that he took the initiative to go, but that time he brought Feng Liu and Lin Dan Da.
There is still a difference between privately contacting a group of people and privately contacting one person.
The only time they were alone in private was the opportunity she got after buying his house.
Lin Sui said: "That settles it then."
A Fu coughed lightly, "As long as you don't cross the line, sometimes it's okay to appropriately please the big brothers and sisters..."
Lin Sui looked at him with some surprise and teased: "Brother Fu, not bad, you're already a mature operator."
A Fu: "..."
"Fine, I'll send Titi a message to please him right now."
A Fu: "?"
... Okay, Shen Ti is currently the Top Fan Brother.
He hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping, and only after holding back for a while did he say: "I think Shen Ti's Live Streaming has problems."
"No one is there to manage him in person, so he's like that." Lin Sui paused, "I'll go back and check tonight."
Although she kept refusing Shen Ti from coming over, in reality, if there was an opportunity, Lin Sui still hoped Shen Ti could come to the Company.
Just letting him do Live Streaming has already caused him to make huge changes; he is much more cheerful now.
Lin Sui has always felt that Shen Ti is a stock with potential.
He is obedient, causes little trouble, knows how to play along, and isn't afraid of losing face.
If this isn't a natural-born Live Streaming saint, what is!
It's just that his mother is a bit difficult to deal with.
Lin Sui thought about the time she tricked Shen Ti's mother, the way she walked home in a state of mental instability.
She wouldn't really be preparing the dowry, would she?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Sui shuddered; as expected, she really had to go back early and pack more things to run away.
"Enough talk, I ended the Live Streaming early today, so I'm heading back first. You keep an eye on the Company for a while, and let them get off work when the time comes."
Lin Sui packed her things, strode in front of A Fu, patted his shoulder, and walked around him to leave the Company.
A Fu was stunned.
How did the topic end up on Shen Ti?
The Top Fan Brother?
Thinking about the reason Shen Ti was frantically spending money in Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room, it was so childish.
Don't want to learn that.
ˉ
Lin Sui drove straight home.
It was only ten o'clock when she reached the entrance of the Villa; she usually ended her Live Streaming at this time, but today she was already at her doorstep.
Just as she was preparing to get out of the car to open the gate to the courtyard, a clattering sound suddenly came from the neighboring Villa.
Lin Sui was startled.
Before she could react, the door to the neighboring Villa opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with his hair combed very slickly walked out.
The sound of Shen Ti's mother screaming and crying continued to ring out from inside the house.
It felt so miserable.
The middle-aged man walked out of the Villa and happened to lock eyes with Lin Sui, who was sitting in the convertible.
Shen Ti chased out from inside, wearing pajamas, barefoot, with a pale face.
He seemed to want to drag the middle-aged man back, but his peripheral vision caught Lin Sui sitting in the car.
His gaze was instantly drawn, "Sui Sui! You're back!"
"Sui Sui?"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, "You are Lin Sui?"
Before Lin Sui could answer, Shen Ti suddenly lunged at the middle-aged man, one hand grabbing the man's neatly combed hair, the other hooking around his neck.
"You get back here!"
He had only greeted Lin Sui, but his main goal was still to bring the man back.
He used every ounce of strength he had, but he was too thin and couldn't drag the middle-aged man at all.
However, the move of grabbing someone's hair was still too underhanded.
"Shen Ti! You unfilial son, you'll be struck by lightning sooner or later!" the middle-aged man cursed.
Shen Ti retorted, "You unfilial father! You act like it's killing you when I spend a little of your money! Who do you want to leave your money to? Your illegitimate child? Keep dreaming!"
"Let go of me!" Shen Fu flailed his arms wildly, seemingly wanting to grab Shen Ti's hair as well.
As it turned out, Shen Ti had a buzz cut.
Shen Ti: "I anticipated you'd try that, I shaved my hair off long ago!"
Shen Fu: "..."
Lin Sui: "..."
Was the reason he kept this hairstyle actually because of this?
While trying to pry his hands off, Shen Fu roared, "Is that just a little? You blew tens of millions, and they're already driving a Porsche!"
Lin Sui clarified, "I had this car before I met him, it wasn't thanks to him."
But her Company could indeed be considered as being invested in and started by Shen Ti.
He really gave too much.
Shen Ti's breathing grew rapid, his face, pale just a moment ago, now flushed red, "Do you take me for a fool? She drives this model which costs at most a million or so, your illegitimate child drives luxury cars worth tens of millions, have I ever said anything? He can spend that much money, why can't I?"
Lin Sui sensed something was wrong, quickly got out of the car, and ran toward them.
Shen Fu had been pushed to his limit by him and didn't notice Shen Ti's condition at all, even continuing to elbow his chest hard, trying to make him let go.
"Of course I don't feel the pinch when you spend it on yourself, but when you spend it on others..."
Shen Ti interrupted him, "I learned it from you, didn't your money always get spent on others too?"
"Shen Ti!" Shen Fu was somewhat embarrassed and angry.
He finally decided to use force to push Shen Ti away.
Shen Ti fell to the ground, his eyes starting to roll back, his chest heaving continuously.
Shen Fu clutched his own scalp, and before he could even look at Shen Ti on the ground, he was shoved aside by Lin Sui.
She immediately went to check Shen Ti's pockets, but since Shen Ti was wearing pajamas, he had no pockets.
Lin Sui had no choice but to rush into the Villa to ask Shen Ti's mother.
Upon hearing that Shen Ti had collapsed, Shen Ti's mother couldn't even cry; she hurriedly found medicine and came out to feed it to Shen Ti.
Shen Fu also realized something was wrong, and after Shen Ti finished the medicine, he immediately picked him up and got into his own car.
"I'm taking him to the hospital!"
Shen Ti's mother lunged over, "Don't you dare try to take my son away!"
Shen Fu was impatient, "If you want to come, get in the car and behave, if you don't, stay at home! Don't get in the way!"
Shen Ti's mother quieted down and got into the car.
The car sped away, leaving Lin Sui standing there alone.
A giant question mark suddenly appeared over her head.
Judging by the information from Shen Ti's cursing of Shen Fu just now, this family situation was extremely complicated.
Then what was this act of Shen Fu being so concerned about Shen Ti now?
Lin Sui stood there contemplating life for a moment, then quickly went home to pack all her things.
She had already moved some away last time, and taking the rest this time didn't amount to much when packed.
After putting everything in the car, Lin Sui thought about it and decided to stay the night and leave tomorrow morning.
At the very least, she had to confirm Shen Ti's safety first.
She had always thought Shen Ti didn't have a father.
Who knew he not only had one, but they caused such a scene the moment they finally met.
Lin Sui was a bit worried now.
From what Shen Fu implied, he was extremely dissatisfied with Shen Ti's tipping behavior in her Live Streaming Room.
Would he come looking for her to get a refund?
While Lin Sui was still imagining things Shen Fu might do, her phone suddenly pinged with several messages.
Opening them, they were all messages sent by Lin Dan Da.
Lin Dan Da: "Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"
Lin Dan Da: "After you ended your Live Streaming, I chatted with Aozi, and I feel like he's fallen for real! An Aozi who has fallen in love can't even hold a knife steady."
Lin Sui: "Get to the point."
Having experienced the problems of Shen Ti's family, Lin Sui felt there was nothing left that could surprise her.
Lin Dan Da said: "Didn't he say it in the Live Streaming Room? He wanted to get married, but the other party didn't agree and only wanted money, and then..."
He paused for effect, then continued: "I received a message from Mo Mo."
"Mo Mo said that she is the one who wants to get married, but the other party doesn't want children and even wants 2 million in hush money, which she didn't agree to."
"Tell me, who should I believe?"
Lin Dan Da was already completely bewildered.
Lin Sui: "... There are only two people, yet they're already playing 'Who's the Undercover'."
