The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 76

Prev | Directory | Next

With such a strict upbringing, Lu Yan couldn't believe that his buddy's older brother could end up being "turned."

[Yu Datou: I don't even know what my brother's thinking. Now, there are two other people fighting over Jin Yan, and it's all over the trending news. My dad's about to explode. But my brother's acting like he's found true love and won't back down, even saying something like 'I will marry no one except you.']

[Yu Datou: My God! Is my brother planning to move abroad? What's going to happen to our family business? I was planning to be a second-generation rich kid living off dividends! This is it, Lu Bro, my dreams are shattered...]

Lu Yan twitched his lips, thinking this guy was really overthinking things.

[Lu Yan: But this sudden change... and what you said, it really doesn't sound like your brother. Do you think he's been possessed by something?]

He thought about it from his own perspective, and the first thing that came to mind was that.

That thought surprised the other side too.

[Yu Datou: Oh, wait, Lu Bro! I just remembered something! Guess who leaked the story about Jin Yan playing five boats?!]

[Lu Yan: Do I know them?]

[Yu Datou: You don't just know them, Lu Bro, they've even saved your life!]

Lu Yan: "..."

Could it be Yu Yuan?

Thinking about Yu Yuan, he threw his phone down, feeling a bit irritated as he scratched his hair. For a moment, even the mint candy in his mouth felt like it was burning.

His feelings for Yu Yuan, his savior, were very complicated.

On one hand, she was his lifesaver, but on the other, she was his blood-related sister, and she posed a direct threat to his favorite sister, Lu Jingxi. If Yu Yuan insisted on returning to the Lu family, with grandma's temper, his sister, who grew up with him, would definitely be driven out.

[Yu Datou: Lu Bro, Lu Bro! I told my parents about the possession thing, and my mom agrees something's off. She's planning to find a master to take a look. Lu Bro, do you have Master Yu's contact info? I think Master Yu is super reliable!]

Lu Yan, already feeling a headache, saw the message and rubbed his face tiredly. [I don't know, but I do have a Master Fang's contact info—the old man who saved me. I'll send you his contact.]

Yu Datou was slightly disappointed when he saw it wasn't Master Yu's contact but quickly understood that someone of that level wasn't someone he could casually ask for help. After coming to terms with it, he quickly went to contact Master Fang.

Lu Yan waited for a while, and when he saw that Yu Datou didn't send any more messages, he realized he was off to find the master.

He lingered on the main screen of his phone for a bit before sending two messages to his sister, Lu Jingxi. There was no reply, so she must still be busy with her shoot.

Looking at his sister's carefully edited selfie as her profile picture, he lingered on it for a moment, then quickly opened Weibo.

It was just past eleven, the height of the night's entertainment. After two days of juicy gossip, netizens were still eagerly devouring it, happily spreading their attention on every piece of drama.

When he saw the trending topics, the online discussions about Jin Yan were at their peak, especially when someone dragged up Jin Yan's ex-wife. It was like throwing a huge ice cube into a hot frying pan—it immediately exploded.

Lu Yan quickly skimmed through the comments and was surprised to see a video featuring three people on a live call.

Yu Yuan was quietly leaning against her chair. Her face, which looked about sixty percent like his own, was expressionless as she silently stared at Jin Yan, who was off-camera. Occasionally, her brow furrowed in a way that mirrored his own. Even the cold detachment in her face when she warned Jin Yan seemed to echo the way he looked when he was angry.

Lu Yan unconsciously furrowed his brows, probably because, as siblings, their furrowed brows looked alike.

She... seems to have changed a lot.

Lu Yan remembered the first time he found out she was his biological sister, that morning. Back then, he wasn't very disgusted by her—more curious, really.

After learning that she was a celebrity in the entertainment industry, he had once gone to see her under the pretense of visiting his sister, Lu Jingxi, on set.

At the time, she had been drinking on set with the director. Though he had stepped in to help her out of the situation, she had scolded him for meddling.

Maybe it was out of shame and anger... Lu Yan thought, and from that moment, he began to dislike her. How could someone who had fallen so low be his older sister?

But after seeing the news about her former manager forcing their artists to drink, he regretted not fully bringing her back then. If he had managed his emotions better and taken her away, perhaps their sibling relationship could have been a lot better by now...

And just three days ago, she had saved his life.

Lu Yan buried his head in his pillow, his mind a mess.

"Ding dong~"

A notification rang, and he fumbled to open his phone. It was his sister, Lu Jingxi, who had just finished her shoot.

[Sister: I just wrapped up, I've been busy lately. Xiao Yan, why aren't you asleep yet?]

After sending her message, Lu Jingxi stretched her neck, feeling uncomfortable, and sighed deeply.

With Yu Yuan's rising fame, the pressure on her increased, so she had begged her agent to take on more gigs, not expecting it to be this tiring.

"Jingxi! Jingxi!"

Her manager rushed into the rest area in a panic. The assistant, who was tidying up, caught the agent's eye and nodded before leaving, closing the door behind them, leaving only the agent and Lu Jingxi in the room.

"Sister?" Lu Jingxi rarely saw her agent so flustered. She quickly stood up and grabbed her hand. "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"How could I not be in a rush?! Look at this!" The agent handed her a tablet. "Jin Yan's scandal has exploded!"

"What?" Lu Jingxi snatched the tablet, her expertly made-up eyes fixed on the content. After a long pause, she collapsed into her seat, exhausted, mumbling in confusion, "How... how did this happen?"

As if remembering something, she suddenly lifted her head. "Didn't he do what I told him to do?"

"Who knows?!" The manager was also furrowing her brow. "But we told him so many times, unless his brain was kicked by a donkey, there's no way he would let five people meet!"

She bit her lip and looked at the troubled Lu Jingxi. "Jingxi, if things go south for Jin Yan, will Master Lu blame you?"
