The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 30

Prev | Directory | Next

Zhou Yu instinctively held his phone away from his ear. Only after his sister finished her rant did he bring it back.

"Sister, chill for a sec. I need to ask you about someone."

His sister snapped, "Then spit it out!"

"Do you know Yu Yuan?"

A brief silence. "Yeah, I do. Why?"

"Did you hear about her trending online just now?"

"Trending? Isn't that normal for Yu Yuan?"

Zhou Yu frowned. Clearly, his sister didn't get the severity of the situation.

"I'm talking about Yu Yuan trending because of fortune-telling."

"WHAT?!" A sharp scream from the other end.

"I was only out of the country for a film festival, and now you're telling me this?! What the hell happened back home?!"

"Who was fortune-telling? What happened to Yu Yuan?!"

Yu Yuan had a dreamless sleep all the way till morning. She woke up to the frantic squeaks of Gua Gua.

[Something big happened! Something HUGE!]

A fluffy, snow-white Samoyed bounced around the tiny storage room, leaping and circling Yu Yuan in a frenzy. Its long white fur fluffed up as it darted back and forth like an overexcited popcorn kernel.

[Host! You're trending! Check your phone, quick!]

With her phone clamped in its mouth, the dog nudged Yu Yuan, practically vibrating with urgency, its tail wagging so fast it could generate electricity.

[Wake up! WAKE UP!]

Gua Gua rolled all over Yu Yuan, its snowy fur rubbing off on her clothes.

"I'm awake, I'm awake. Quit squishing me."

Yu Yuan slowly opened her eyes and reached out to the panicked dog, ruffling its fur in a half-asleep daze.

"Hand me my phone."

Gua Gua obediently trotted over, tail wagging, and dropped the phone into her palm.

[Host, look! You're on the trending list! And not just once—TWICE!]

[One thanks to Yu Qingqing, and the other because of yesterday's fortune-telling—from A Bite of Meat Bun!]

Yu Qingqing's late-night trending topic had already dropped to eighth place, while A Bite of Meat Bun had fallen out of the top thirty.

Thanks to Yu Qingqing's fans, who were excellent at managing public opinion, the comment section was completely harmonious—every post was filled with prayers for A Bite of Meat Bun's grandma.

And with Yu Qingqing's influence, the elderly lady's story had already gained over 100,000 followers overnight.

Yu Yuan tapped on the trending topic. The first thing that popped up was a ten-minute video.

The footage was dark and shaky, clearly recorded on a phone by someone moving through dense, overgrown grass. Flashlights flickered ahead as a group of people searched for something.

Then, a sudden commotion erupted. Cheers rang out.

"We found her! Over here!"

"She's here! The old lady's here!"

"Where's the doctor?! She's unconscious—somebody get a doctor!"

"She's been found, but she's hurt and still unconscious. We need to get her to a hospital, QUICK!"

The video was filled with chaotic shouting, overlapping voices calling for help.

Meanwhile, real-time comments kept popping up in the lower-left corner of the screen:

[Good thing they found her early. Elderly people don't have strong bodies—if she'd been out there all night, with how big the temperature drop is, she might not have made it...]

[Finally found her! I've been waiting all night. Thank god she's safe!]

[Whew... as long as she's okay. Now I can sleep in peace.]

[LMAO, where are the haters now? Cat got your tongue?]

[Yeah, weren't you guys yelling "scripted" before? What now?]

[Look at the search team—not just regular folks, but actual cops and firefighters too! Where are the haters now? Still calling it staged?]

[Master Yu, are you streaming tomorrow at 9 PM like usual? I wanna get a reading on my crush...]

[Yo, hold up. Weren't you the one bashing Master Yu the hardest before?]

[Host, this clip is from Yu Qingqing's livestream.]

Gua Gua flopped down beside Yu Yuan, its fluffy dog head stretching over to peek at the phone screen. Its tongue lolled out in a happy grin, and its tiny, excited voice in Yu Yuan's head carried a hint of delight.

[Our gossip points increased by 1,500 yesterday—that's 15 more days of survival time!]

It wagged its tail and held up a big paw.

[As of now, we've racked up 80 days! Once we hit 100, the system shop will finally unlock!]

"System shop?"

Yu Yuan tilted her head slightly. "A shop? What kind of stuff does it sell?"

[Oh, we don't just buy stuff there!]

Gua Gua sat up straight, lifting its head high like a noble little fluff.

[We can sell stuff too!]

It scratched a circle into the ground with its white paw.

[Think of it as a cross-dimensional trading system. If we're lucky, we might even find something to fix your 'fortune-telling-makes-me-hungry' problem!]

It gave her a dramatic wink, which Yu Yuan effortlessly dodged.

[Host! Don't ignore me!]

Yu Yuan got up and headed toward the door, and Gua Gua happily trotted after her, tail wagging.

[I'm serious! Let's do another reading today so we can unlock the shop faster! That 'A Bite of Meat Bun' livestream yesterday was a great idea—how about we...]

"Knock, knock, knock..."

A rhythmic knocking came from the living room door.

Gua Gua's tiny voice cut off mid-sentence. Both human and dog turned their heads toward the entrance.

"Gua Gua." Yu Yuan poured herself a glass of water and glanced at the fluffy dog wagging its tail by her side. "It's Yu Qingqing and her manager. Go open the door."

Outside, Yu Qingqing leaned against her manager, looking like she had just crawled out of a disaster zone. Her clothes were drenched, her perfectly applied makeup was ruined, and she was clutching a pair of heels in one hand. Her right ankle was swollen, and she winced every time she put weight on it.

"Click..."

The door cracked open.

Yu Qingqing's eyes lit up—only for a giant, fluffy dog head to poke through the gap.

Yu Qingqing: "...A Samoyed?"

Since when did Master Yu have a dog?

She was pretty sure there wasn't one the last time she visited.

Yu Qingqing glanced up at the door plate—2127. Yep, this was definitely Master Yu's place.

Guagua, seeing that the visitors were indeed the trending actress and a sharp-looking woman, pushed the door open with a paw.

"Woof!"

Come in!

The snow-white Samoyed, fluffy and well-groomed, moved gracefully, its tail swaying gently as it walked like a little cloud on legs.
