58. Chapter 58: Bicker-Partners

As soon as Suna spoke, the gazes of those around them focused on Luo Shiqing once again.

"My god, Luo Shiqing is sowing discord, and she even wants to use Teacher Suna as her weapon?"

"How could she be like this? Is she really that hateful toward her own sister? It's a good thing Teacher Suna is smart and saw through it."

"Teacher Suna is truly straightforward; Luo Shiqing is socially dead now."

Hearing the snide remarks around her, Luo Shiqing's face turned burning red. She never expected that this Cannon Fodder woman, Suna, would not only refuse to be incited by her but would instead give her a dressing-down.

Luo Shiqing was so angry she wanted to kill Suna, but in the next second, she was teary-eyed and choked out, "Teacher Suna, you've misunderstood me. I didn't mean it that way. I know you chased Teacher Yan to this small variety show, and now that Teacher Yan is ignoring you, you're feeling frustrated, but taking your anger out on me won't change anything."

As she spoke.

Luo Shiqing heaved her shoulders and shed tears, looking as if she had suffered every grievance.

Anyone who didn't know the truth would likely think that Suna was bullying Luo Shiqing.

Sure enough.

Not far away, Luo Xinian noticed the commotion on Luo Shiqing's side and immediately rushed over. "Shiqing, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Third Brother!"

Luo Shiqing immediately threw herself into Luo Xinian's arms, aggrieved, and continued to sob, "Nothing happened, please don't ask."

Because Luo Xixi and Yan Yu and the others had also come over, the staff carrying the cameras naturally aimed their lenses at Luo Shiqing's side. Thus, in the footage, the audience in the livestream happened to see Luo Shiqing choking back tears while Suna wore a livid expression.

The livestream audience immediately began flooding the screen.

【What's the situation? What happened again? Why is Luo Shiqing crying?】

【Look at that woman's face, so fierce and menacing. Is she hiding outside the camera frame to bully people again? Can no one keep this arrogant and domineering woman in check?】

【Seeing little sister Shiqing curled up in her brother's arms makes my heart break.】

【Is this woman too lawless? Knowing she can't afford to offend people on big variety shows, she specifically runs to this small variety show to bully non-celebrities. I'd heard she was sharp-tongued and ruthless, and seeing it now, the rumors really aren't groundless!】

【Can Suna just get out of the entertainment industry? Won't an artist who bullies non-celebrities like this be a bad influence on children?】

Seeing Suna's reputation turning sour, Suna's fans quickly fought back.

【Can Luo Shiqing's paid trolls stop making false accusations? Did you see Sister Na bullying anyone? If you're going to keep biting at Sister Na, just admit you want to ride on her popularity!】

【Our Nana just has a straightforward temper; when has she ever bullied anyone else? Stop smearing her here!】

【Hugging Nana, Luo Shiqing's fans, don't come sticking to us!】

However, this group of paid trolls came from the public relations department of the Sheng Family Conglomerate. Whether in organizational ability or mobilization, they were no worse than the fans, and they once again flooded the screen, drowning out the comments from Suna's fans.

【Suna, get out of the entertainment industry!】

【As a passerby, I really can't watch this anymore! This woman bullies people so much, and her fans are still so overbearing and unreasonable. Is there no justice?】

【Putting myself in little sister Shiqing's shoes, I'd really be depressed to death!】

【Everyone, look at this woman's ugly face. Are we really going to let such a celebrity continue to run wild?】

【Ding—Host, Suna's reputation is currently declining, and her public favorability is worsening.】

The Baby System came online to remind her.

【What?】

Upon hearing this, Luo Xixi asked in surprise, 【Why? Just because the female lead is crying right now?】

【Yes.】

【But the cause and effect haven't even been cleared up yet! The audience just decided that the Great Beauty is bullying the female lead?】

【This is because paid trolls are steering the narrative. Now, many people believe Suna is bullying the female lead on the show. Plus, her intense personality makes it easy for her to make enemies, and many other fans have joined in to muddy the waters, attempting to ruin Suna's reputation.】

【...】

Hearing the Baby System's explanation, Luo Xixi's brows were twisted into a knot.

She hadn't expected that even though the plot had been disrupted to this extent, it still hadn't changed the Great Beauty's ultimate trajectory. The Great Beauty's reputation was still worsening, while the female lead would use this opportunity to become an overnight sensation on the variety show.

Seeing Luo Shiqing playing the "white lotus" again, and seeing the people around them who didn't know the truth begin to cast strange looks at her, Suna was almost so angry she laughed. She spoke up, "Luo Shiqing, what are you pretending for? Why won't you let your third brother ask? If you have the guts, say what you just said again!"

"Teacher Suna, what are you talking about? What did I just say?"

Luo Shiqing asked back, looking innocent and aggrieved.

Anyway, only Suna had heard what she said just now. As long as she bit down and pretended not to know, this bitch couldn't do anything to her.

"You're still pretending!"

Suna only hated that she didn't have a voice recorder. Seeing Luo Shiqing still playing dumb, she was almost angered to death by this little white lotus. "You..."

But before she could finish her sentence, Luo Xinian could no longer hold back and interrupted Suna, saying sternly, "Teacher Suna, don't go too far! How exactly did Shiqing provoke you to make you so hostile toward her?"

Seeing Luo Xinian defending Luo Shiqing, Suna really wanted to slap this idiot twice.

"Luo Xinian, your 'good' little sister just tried to sow discord and get me to target your other sister! What? Luo Shiqing is your sister, but Luo Xixi isn't?"

"Sowing discord?"

Luo Xinian looked at Luo Shiqing.

In an instant, Luo Shiqing cried even more sadly, as if she had suffered a great injustice. Her eyes widened, her whole body trembling like a sieve, and she said, "Teacher Suna, it's one thing for you to target me for no reason, but why do you have to slander me like this? When did I sow discord? Because you hate me, you think everything I say or do is malicious. If I'm really that unwelcome to you, I'll quit the variety show right now, is that okay?"

"You damn white lotus, stop pretending for me!"

Suna was furious, angered to no end by Luo Shiqing's hypocritical act.

"Suna! Try yelling at Shiqing one more time! My Luo Family isn't to be trifled with! I won't allow you to be so arrogant and domineering and bully someone from my Luo Family!"

Luo Xinian blocked Luo Shiqing behind him and scolded Suna sternly.

Suna cursed loudly, "Luo Xinian, you pig!!"

Being played like a fiddle by that little green tea, used as a weapon, and still thinking he's a messenger of justice—so stupid! So stupid!!

"Try saying one more word and see what happens!!"

"I said you're a pig, a pig, a pig! Do you hear clearly now?!"

"Suna!!"

Seeing both sides at daggers drawn, the others hurriedly stepped forward to hold them back.

"Alright, alright, Teacher Suna, Teacher Luo, both of you calm down, don't hurt the harmony."

Luo Shiqing hid behind Luo Xinian, feeling immensely smug.

Because the Heartthrob System had just told her that Suna's popularity was constantly sliding, while her own popularity was constantly climbing, having already reached the trending list, which counted as officially appearing before the public, and her Starlight Value had risen to 10 points because of this.

That bitch Suna, although she didn't manage to make things difficult for Luo Xixi according to her plan, at least she was still somewhat useful~

"..."

Luo Xixi saw that the situation was chaotic at the moment, and everyone's attention was on her third brother and the great beauty; no one noticed that the female lead hiding in the back was so smug right now that the corners of her mouth were almost splitting to the back of her head.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, lamenting:

【Sigh, third brother is such a fool, he doesn't even know he's being used as a gun by the female lead. You are shielding her from the wind and rain in front, while she is laughing happily behind your back. And the great beauty is also a fool; I clearly warned her not to provoke the female lead, but she still ended up as the female lead's stepping stone. Now her public reputation is ruined, and she's almost being cursed to death by the people in the livestream room. She really is getting closer and closer to her death ending.】
