The True Young Master's Metaphysical Road to Fame in Showbiz Ch. 64

Prev | Directory | Next

[WHAT IS HAPPENING?]

[What does this even mean?? CQN knew all along that CQZ was the real young master, and he just... never said anything??]

[Bro, are you serious?? Is this another one of the show's staged "ghost" pranks? This is way too much!!]

[Qingning, blink twice if you're being threatened. We'll back you up!!]

[Hold up, if CQZ is the real son, then what about those rumors about him being an illegitimate child??]

[This is literally a real-life switched-at-birth drama?!]

[He's acting. He HAS to be acting. The production team is so damn evil for scripting this kind of drama.]

[Wait, so... is CQN saying he's NOT actually part of the Chi family??]

[No, no, the real issue here is—if he knew the truth this whole time, why didn't he ever speak up? He never once cleared up the rumors for CQZ. Fans, don't even try to act like he's some innocent little angel who knows nothing about the world!]

[Holy sh*t, the more I think about it, the creepier this gets... Is CQN actually some two-faced, manipulative white lotus??]

Doubt and accusations flooded Chi Qingning's personal livestream chat, and even the main show's chat was swarmed with people demanding answers from the other contestants.

Even Chi Qingning's own fans were completely stunned, their minds going blank as they struggled to process everything.

Under all the pressure, only a handful of younger Little Sweet Plums were still stubbornly holding their ground, insisting that their idol was just acting and had been set up by the shady production team.

But then, a sharp-eyed viewer had a lightbulb moment. They quickly exited the livestream and started searching for photos of the Chi family couple.

Unlike Song Yuzhi, Chi Qingning had never been particularly low-key about his family background. Plus, Mrs. Chi used to be a third-tier actress, so there were plenty of pictures of her from back in the day.

It only took a quick side-by-side comparison for the truth to hit—Chi Qingzhou looked just like Mr. and Mrs. Chi. Almost like someone had cherry-picked their best features and combined them into one person.

There was no doubt about it. Chi Qingzhou was definitely their real son.

Which raised a huge question—where did that ridiculous rumor even come from? The one about Chi Qingzhou being an illegitimate child, born from some crazy woman who stole Mr. Chi's... DNA?

Nobody knew. The audience was baffled.

A lot of people who had trashed Chi Qingzhou before the show aired were starting to feel like absolute clowns.

Because if Chi Qingzhou was actually the real young master of the Chi family, and Chi Qingning was just adopted... then what the hell had they been so outraged about all this time?

All those self-righteous insults, curses, and accusations—what did they even mean now?

They thought they were standing up for the weak, but in reality, they had been fueling the fire against an innocent person.

For a split second, an overwhelming sense of absurdity washed over them. Their faces burned like they'd just been slapped a hundred times.

Shame mixed with frustration. Furious, they stared at Chi Qingning's face in the livestream and started typing out their questions, word by word.

The Little Sweet Plums were caught completely off guard. Panicking, they scrambled into their fan groups, desperate for guidance on how to control the narrative. But even their biggest fan accounts had no clue what to do.

They had already contacted Chi Qingning's manager, but apparently, even the manager was clueless. The whole situation was turning into a mess.

And right at that moment, Chi Qingning suddenly stiffened, like he had just seen something painful. His fists clenched, and he stumbled back a step.

"You don't understand at all!" His voice was thick with sorrow. "Do you think I don't want to see my real parents? They're the ones who don't want to see me! Mom met with them yesterday, and they made it clear—they care more about my little brother. They don't even want me to go back and take any of their attention away from him."

His words were a little convoluted, so the chat took a second to process. Then it clicked—"my real parents" referred to Chi Qingning's biological parents, while "Mom" meant his adoptive mother, Mrs. Chi.

Wait... so Chi Qingning had actually met his biological parents before?

Before they could fully wrap their heads around it, Chi Qingning bit his lip, and tears started streaming down his face.

He was crying hard, his face flushed red, but somehow, even his sadness was beautiful. He looked nothing like his usual cold and reserved self—his tear-streaked face and slightly reddened eyes were heartbreakingly delicate.

With a choked voice, he said, "You don't know, do you? Last night... my mom secretly came to see me."

"She told me she's already used to her life now. She doesn't want me to go back, because that would scare my little brother."

"If I insist on returning, she won't stop me. But she and my dad will just move away. They've already picked out a new house, but they won't tell me where it is."

After the regular variety show viewers lost their minds, the Little Sweet Plums followed right after.

What kind of parents were these?!

How could they treat their son like this?!

[Oh my god, how could his biological parents be this heartless?!]

[No wonder he never went home—he literally CAN'T!]

[His adoptive parents raised him for so many years. Of course, they love him. Of course, they wouldn't want to see him get hurt by his real parents!]

[He's been through so much. Imagine how much pain he's carrying inside.]

[What the hell is his agency even doing?! Our boy is suffering, and they're just sitting there, doing nothing?!]

The Little Sweet Plums were seeing red. Their rage was through the roof as they stormed the chat, ripping into anyone who dared to question Chi Qingning.

At first, some viewers were actually starting to sympathize with Chi Qingning.

But with the Little Sweet Plums going full attack mode, the backlash came just as fast. The more they got yelled at, the more defiant they became.

The viewers didn't hold back, immediately firing back with sharp questions, seizing on the things Chi Qingning had left unclear.

[If his real parents really despise him that much, then fine, it makes sense he wouldn't go back. But why didn't he clear up the rumors?]
