The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 28

"It looks good!" Yu Yuan replied, not exactly full of sincerity. "For convenience, I'll just call you Gua Gua."

[Gua Gua!] The Melon-Eating System's tiny voice chirped with excitement. [I love that name!]

By the time she led Gua Gua home, little Yu Liang had already washed his hands and was nervously sitting on the couch. The second he heard the door open, he shot forward like a firecracker. When he saw Gua Gua, his eyes lit up so bright they practically sparkled. "Mom! It's the fox spirit!"

The Samoyed's pure white fur and ridiculously high beauty stats made it look almost exactly like the fox spirit statue in his room—at least 70% similar!

After everything that had happened today, the Melon-Eating System already had a great impression of this so-called fox spirit in Yu Liang's mind. It lifted its head proudly, fully accepting the little guy's praise.

During lunch, Yu Liang couldn't stop thinking about how the fox spirit had saved him earlier. He carefully placed a whole plate of dumplings in front of the statue and even lit an incense stick with great sincerity.

The tiny kid knelt in front of the statue, closed his eyes, and pressed his hands together. "Thank you, fox spirit, for helping Yu Liang. Please bless Mom so she won't get sick. Yu Liang is offering you dumplings!"

Feeling the shift in divine energy in the room, Yu Yuan lazily lifted an eyelid and glanced over—just in time to see Gua Gua drooling all over the floor as it stared at the dumplings on the table. She fought off her drowsiness and asked, "Want one?"

Gua Gua's eyes widened with joy, nodding frantically. "Yes, yes, yes!"

Hearing the noise, Yu Liang ran over and peeked in from the doorway, his little face all red with excitement. "Mom, so the dog's name is Gua Gua?"

Gua Gua was still munching on its dumpling but nodded anyway. The little boy hugged it and smothered it with kisses. "Mom! The name's so cute! Can I take Gua Gua out to play?"

"Of course—" Yu Yuan yawned mid-sentence, barely holding it in. "Yeah, sure."

It was already close to 11 PM. She still had to visit Yu Qingqing tomorrow. After lazily scarfing down three plates of dumplings, she stretched and went to bed.

At 3:30 AM, 'A Bite of Meat Bun' stepped out of the high-speed rail station, holding up her phone as she livestreamed. Her face was exhausted.

Not far away, her cousin, who had come to pick her up, waved at her.

"Sister." He took the small suitcase from her hands, his voice gentle. "Sister, don't worry. As soon as we got your message, my parents went over with people to help. Grandma is definitely gonna be okay."

"Yeah... Grandma is such a good person. She's definitely gonna be okay." 'A Bite of Meat Bun' forced herself to stay awake and nodded.

Her cousin had just graduated high school and started university this year. He had finally gotten a break to go home and rest, yet she still had to trouble him to drive over and pick her up in the middle of the night. She felt a little bad about it.

'A Bite of Meat Bun' put her suitcase into the trunk of the car herself. Both she and her brother were worried about their missing grandmother. Other than a brief greeting at the start, neither of them said another word.

Even though it was already 3 AM, her livestream room was still packed with people—some were into metaphysics and wanted to verify if it was real, while others were just haters looking for gossip.

The heated argument between the two groups had been going on ever since Yu Yuan ended her stream. Not only did it not die down as the night went on, but it actually got even worse.

[Oh wow, someone even came to pick her up? She's really keeping up the act, huh?]

[As expected of Yu Yuan. Being her shill must be tough—you even have to run around outside at 3 AM. If she doesn't pay you, A Bite of Meat Bun, make sure to file a labor dispute. I'll support you in spirit.]

[Her grandma is missing. Can some of you stop being so heartless? Have some basic decency.]

[Exactly. So only your idol's problems are big deals, and everyone else's issues don't matter?]

[No matter what, I just hope A Bite of Meat Bun's grandma can be found safe and sound.]

[Found my ass. This is totally made up.]

'A Bite of Meat Bun' didn't want to look at those cruel and nasty comments. She just wanted to hurry home and join the search for her grandmother.

But even if she ignored the livestream chat, the fan group on her phone wouldn't stop buzzing. The friends she had spent years bonding with—laughing, supporting each other—were now turning on her one by one.

[WTF, are you actually shilling for Yu Yuan? That's disgusting! Did you forget how she bullied Jingxi on the red carpet? And you still dare to call yourself a true Jingxi's fan?]

[If you don't like Jingxi anymore, just leave the fandom. What's the point of backstabbing? Damn, you really know how to make money. Bet those "blood money" earnings from Jingxi taste real good, huh? Spit it out!]

[Trash! Absolute trash! Get lost! How can someone this disgusting even exist? Poor Jingxi, being liked by someone like you is a total nightmare!]

[Guys, calm down. Maybe the group leader is really in trouble right now. We've all been here since Jingxi debuted—there's no way she would betray her, right?]

[Oh, so now you're saying Yu Yuan's predictions were actually real? That the group owner's grandma is actually in danger? Are you all brain-dead? I'd believe a stray dog eating grass before I believe Yu Yuan.]

[Keep making excuses! Wow, I've been in this group for years and never realized there were so many fakes here! I'm making a new group—everyone, come join me. Let these traitors put on their little act here by themselves!]

The whole group chat was in chaos. The few people who tried to defend her were immediately attacked, even harassed in private messages, until they had no choice but to leave the group.

'A Bite of Meat Bun''s fingers hovered over her phone's keyboard for a long time. She typed something out, deleted it, typed again, then deleted it again. After struggling with it for ages, she ended up saying nothing at all.

Meanwhile, over in a villa, Yu Qingqing and her manager were huddled together, staring intently at the livestream of 'A Bite of Meat Bun' on the computer screen.

Seeing the comment section explode, with so many people cursing at Master Yu, Yu Qingqing angrily tore off the overnight face mask she was wearing. A wave of frustration stuck in her chest, making her feel suffocated.

"How can people be like this?! Master Yu is such a great person, but in their mouths, she's suddenly a villain?!"
