89. Chapter 89: About to Have a Showdown with the Female Lead

As soon as these words were spoken.

The attention of the Luo Family was immediately drawn over.

"Xichuan, have you found the person smearing Xixi behind her back? Who is it?"

Luo Zhennian, the father of the Luo family, asked.

"Who is it? Big Brother, who is so bored to do such a thing?"

Luo Xinian also became serious. In fact, these past few days, he had also been sending people to investigate, but the person behind the scenes was very cunning, always sending others to spread the news, and the true mastermind was always in the shadows, making it impossible to find them.

He hadn't expected Big Brother to actually have news!

Luo Xichuan glanced at Luo Shiqing calmly, then announced to his family: "It is Sheng Tinglan, the youngest son of the old man of the Sheng Family."

!!!!

As soon as these words were spoken.

Luo Xixi was completely shocked, and she hurriedly said to the Baby System: 【Tong'er! Big Brother actually found out that the male lead is the one smearing me? How did he manage that?!】

The Baby System was also baffled and said: 【Indeed, the male lead is very secretive in his actions. In the story's settings, as long as he wants to scheme against someone, the other party never knows he did it, and they might even end up counting money for him. For Luo Xichuan to actually be able to investigate the male lead's meddling behind the scenes, he really has some skills! However, this is also a sign that he is beginning to have Self-Awareness, because as an NPC character, he would not act spontaneously. Now that he is investigating these matters outside the plot, it shows that this character's Self-Awareness is awakening.】

Thump, thump.

Hearing the Baby System's words, Luo Xixi's heart skipped two beats, and she asked: 【If Self-Awareness begins to awaken, does that mean the final death ending can be avoided?】

【In principle, once Self-Awareness begins to awaken, it is already deviating from the original plot. This also shows that your mission as the Host is nearing completion, achieving the goal of saving the Cannon Fodder villain.】

【... Is that so?】

Luo Xixi's mind began to race again. She never expected that Big Brother would actually begin to awaken Self-Awareness, which also meant that the plot would no longer be able to easily change his character setting.

The reason Luo Xixi had been slacking off before was that she felt the Luo Family were all NPCs; as long as the plot required it, their character settings could be completely changed, and they could do things inconsistent with their personalities. The female lead was the master of this world, and everything had to make way to serve the female lead.

But now that Big Brother had awakened Self-Awareness, didn't that mean the female lead would no longer be able to influence him easily?

Big Brother's ending could be changed!

She wasn't completely without a chance! After all, if the beauty's ending could be changed, why couldn't the Luo Family's?

Because of the example of Suna, Luo Xixi's mindset had also undergone a transformation at this moment.

【Tong'er, now that Big Brother has started to awaken Self-Awareness, has his ending changed?】

Luo Xixi asked with some anticipation.

The Baby System said regretfully: 【That hasn't happened yet; Luo Xichuan's ending has not changed for the time being.】

【Not yet?】

Luo Xixi was disappointed.

Seeing Luo Xixi's mood sink, the Baby System hurriedly encouraged her: 【But! Host, you can change the direction of his ending! Host, now that Luo Xichuan has already started to awaken Self-Awareness, we really have hope, and the hope is quite significant. You must not give up!】

【Hmm...】

Luo Xixi's heart pounded. She felt that she really shouldn't continue to slack off like this. Big Brother was awakening Self-Awareness, so how could she keep lying flat and fail the Big Brother who had always treated her with sincerity?

Luo Xixi fell into a brainstorm by herself, while the other members of the Luo Family were all looking at each other in dismay when they heard the name Sheng Tinglan mentioned by Luo Xichuan.

Mother Luo said: "Sheng Tinglan? That sounds familiar. It seems I've heard there is such a person in the Sheng Family, but didn't he always develop his career abroad? When did he return to the country? Why target Xixi?"

Father Luo also frowned and said: "I have heard some things about the Sheng family's youngest son before. This Sheng Tinglan is at odds with the Sheng Family, and it's the Sheng Family's fault, so they always kept him living abroad. But I heard he developed quite well abroad. Now that he is preparing to transfer his assets back to the country, according to some people, he has spread his wings and is ready to settle the score with the Sheng Family."

The third son, Luo Xinian, said unhappily: "That's truly inexplicable! If he wants to settle scores, he should go to the Sheng Family! Why cause trouble for Luo Xixi? Luo Xixi, did you provoke him?"

Luo Xixi blinked innocently and said: "Actually, when I went out with Big Brother before, I met that Mr. Sheng once. I wasn't feeling well at the time, and I threw up when I saw him..."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xinian said in surprise: "There's such a thing? But you weren't feeling well, you didn't intentionally offend him. Is he so petty that he would release black material about you just because of this?"

Luo Xixi said sheepishly: "Because it wasn't just once; I threw up twice in front of him."

At this point.

Luo Xinian choked.

He stared at Luo Xixi and asked: "Did you do it on purpose or by accident?"

Luo Xixi was innocent: "It really wasn't on purpose."

Who wouldn't want to throw up when they see something dirty?

Luo Xinian hadn't expected his younger sister to have such an encounter with that Sheng Tinglan. He frowned in annoyance and said: "Once would be one thing, but you threw up twice in front of him. If he is a petty person, he might really hold a grudge. But to drag you into a public opinion storm just because of this is still a bit too much, isn't it? No matter how you look at it, he is in the wrong!"

At this moment.

Luo Xichuan said in a low voice: "Perhaps it's not because of Xixi throwing up, but because of someone else that he did this..."

"Because of someone else?"

Luo Xinian was puzzled and asked: "Big Brother, who could Sheng Tinglan be doing this for?"

As a result, Luo Xichuan stopped talking.

In fact, he had already sent people to investigate the person Luo Shiqing met during her two outings, and it was indeed Sheng Tinglan.

Xixi had said that Shiqing had run off to see the male lead.

And now, this male lead was Sheng Tinglan, the person who kept posting black material online to smear Xixi!

Luo Xichuan didn't want to think the worst, but all the evidence seemed to point to one thing: the reason Sheng Tinglan would smear Xixi was all for the sake of Shiqing.

The reason he announced this in front of everyone now was actually to see his younger sister Luo Shiqing's reaction to this matter and confirm it once more.

Shiqing had met with Sheng Tinglan repeatedly; now that she knew Sheng Tinglan was smearing Xixi behind her back, what would her reaction be? Would she have already known about this?

As a result.

Luo Shiqing's reaction made Luo Xichuan's heart go cold.

He saw Luo Shiqing burying her head deeply, looking guilty, as if she were afraid that Luo Xichuan would drag her into it as well.

And in her heart.

Luo Shiqing was also about to go crazy.

【Is Luo Xichuan sick? How is he still investigating? He wouldn't have found out about my affairs too, would he?】

Although Luo Shiqing had already given up on the Luo Family, she had not intended to be kicked out by the Luo Family immediately; right now, her intimacy with the male lead had not reached the point where she could move directly into the male lead's home, and if the entire Luo Family turned against her, she would be finished.

The Heartthrob System comforted Luo Shiqing, saying: 【Host, please calm down. Regardless of whether Luo Xichuan knows about your relationship with the male lead, it seems he does not intend to reveal the matter between you and the male lead. For now, you just need to pretend you don't know.】

【Fine! Luo Xichuan had better keep his mouth shut, otherwise I...】

After dinner was finished.

Luo Shiqing prepared to return to her room to rest.

Who would have expected.

Just as she went upstairs, she saw her eldest brother Luo Xichuan leaning against the wall; after seeing her come up, he glanced at her and said, "Shiqing, let's have a talk."
