The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 51
byChapter 51 Offline Event
Pei Huaixue hadn’t even had time to see the so-called exposé when Gu Minghe had already called in the PR company to clean it up completely. At the same time, he had Xingyue Agency’s official Weibo account issue a lawyer’s warning letter.
They clarified the rumors about Pei Huaixue circulating online and sued several main rumor-mongering accounts. For a time, no one dared to speak carelessly again.
Netizens came out in droves to sigh, marveling at how effective Pei Huaixue’s company was; the rumors were dealt with immediately after only a few days of circulation.
“Nonsense, don’t you see who the boss behind Xingyue is? It’s the Gu Corporation. Now that Pei Huaixue and Gu Minghe are hitting it off, he might become Young Madam Gu in the future. How could Xingyue not protect Pei Huaixue?!”
“So, it might actually be Gu Minghe who gave the order?”
“Ahhh, I’m shipping them again! Actor Gu is fiercely protecting his wife!”
“But Pei Huaixue’s relationship with the Top Gifter definitely looks complicated. Doesn’t Actor Gu even care about that? Does he really have a cuckold fetish?”
“The person above, please stop spreading rumors! Lawyer’s letter warning!”
While Pei Huaixue was taking a nap, Gu Minghe quietly finished handling these matters. Then he saw the comments posted under the official Weibo account. He frowned, just about to use his main account to issue a statement directly admitting that he was Pei Huaixue’s Top Gifter to stop the rumors. Just then, an official invitation appeared in his Douyin account.
“Hello, Princess Xuexue’s ATM. This is the official Douyin platform. Douyin will be holding an offline influencer gathering event in Lancheng this weekend. Since your gifting consumption has reached SVIP level, you are specially invited to attend this gathering. You will be able to interact offline with your favorite streamers. Time XXX, Location XXX. If you are traveling from out of town, the organizer will cover all flights and accommodation for this event. If you are interested in attending, please add the staff’s contact information.”
Douyin holds several offline influencer events every year. This wasn’t the first invitation Gu Minghe had received. Usually, he ignored them directly and had no intention of going.
However, this time he saw Pei Huaixue on the list of invited streamers.
In previous years, Pei Huaixue didn’t have enough followers, so he was rarely invited to such events.
This year, thanks to the dating show and the scandal, he became explosively popular. The Douyin official platform seized the opportunity and invited Pei Huaixue to participate in the offline event.
Gu Minghe pondered for a moment and added the platform’s contact person.
…
After Pei Huaixue woke up, he also saw the invitation sent to him by Douyin, and his face instantly lit up with surprise.
“I was actually invited!”
He knew that this event only invited major influencers with millions of followers. This year, Pei Huaixue had also entered the million-follower club, and the platform inviting him was recognition of his popularity and buzz.
Thinking of this, the little cat couldn’t help but feel smug.
What made him even smugger was that Xia Mu hadn’t been invited.
In the living room, Xia Mu listened resentfully as Pei Huaixue told everyone that he was going to attend the Douyin event this weekend, feeling extremely annoyed.
In previous years, Xia Mu was always invited, but recently his reputation had suffered, and he had lost followers severely, dropping to only nine hundred thousand! He was no longer a million-follower influencer!
Therefore, the platform had stopped inviting him.
It was well known that follower counts could be bought online, so the gained followers might not be real, but the lost ones were definitely active fans. Losing so many fans at once broke Xia Mu’s heart.
In contrast, Pei Huaixue’s follower count kept rising. They were both on the same show, but the previously ill-reputed Pei Huaixue had turned the tables, while he was on a downward slope. How could he not be angry?
He said sourly, “It’s just an offline event, what’s there to show off about? I used to go every year.”
Pei Huaixue replied, “Wow, you must be amazing then.”
After speaking, he ignored Xia Mu’s expression and continued chattering about his own affairs.
Su Jin’s recent performances had also ended, and he wasn’t as busy as before, so he suggested, “Why don’t the rest of us go to the event venue with you for fun?”
Many fans would also attend the offline event, and there would be a signing and photo session. Pei Huaixue agreed without hesitation, “Great, great! Let’s go together, it’ll be lively.”
“Xia Mu, are you going?” Shen Zhimian asked him.
“I won’t go, you guys go,” Xia Mu’s tone was dejected. “I’ll just stay home alone to water the flowers and pull weeds. You don’t need to worry about me.”
His pitiful appearance immediately aroused Jiang Leran’s sympathy. “Then I won’t go either, Xia Mu. I’ll stay home and keep you company.”
“Really?” Xia Mu immediately beamed with joy. “Leran, you’re so kind.”
Shen Zhimian: “…”
Well, he chose not to see it.
Lately, Jiang Leran’s attitude towards him had become increasingly cold, and he couldn’t be bothered to argue about it.
Instead, the viewers in the comments felt sorry for him and were very displeased with Xia Mu’s interference.
So, on the day of the event, apart from Xia Mu and Jiang Leran, the other five set off together.
The offline gathering was held in a commercial plaza in the city center. Pei Huaixue was attending as an event guest, and staff members were there to greet him as soon as he arrived.
The staff member, Lingling, was stunned when she saw Pei Huaixue.
She was another person who was visually struck by Pei Huaixue’s beauty offline.
Pei Huaixue smiled at her. “Are you alright?”
“I, I’m fine!” Lingling blushed and flusteredly invited him to the lounge. Only then did she notice that Pei Huaixue hadn’t come alone. When she clearly saw the four people behind him, Lingling became even more panicked.
Gu Minghe! Su Jin! And Gu Yanchen, Shen Zhimian…
Did they invite one person and get four extra guests?
Pei Huaixue noticed her confusion and laughed. “They are just here to have some fun, they are not here to work for you for free.”
Lingling awkwardly laughed it off. Since Gu Minghe and the others were not invited guests, they were not invited to the lounge, but Lingling arranged front-row VIP seats for them for the upcoming meet-and-greet.
Pei Huaixue arrived at the lounge, where other guests were already present.
As the saying goes, enemies often cross paths. He immediately spotted Dai Xiaotao and Xu Ran.
When Dai Xiaotao saw Pei Huaixue appear, his face instantly fell, and his expression was extremely unpleasant.
“Why do I run into you everywhere? You’re really bad luck.”
Pei Huaixue shrugged. “You can leave, I don’t mind.”
“Why should I leave? You’re the one who should go!” Dai Xiaotao gritted his teeth, but since the dating show’s camera operator was following Pei Huaixue, and they were clearly still live streaming, he didn’t dare to act too excessively. He could only glare fiercely at Pei Huaixue.
At this moment, Xu Ran, who had been sitting silently nearby, suddenly stood up to mediate.
“We’re all from the same company, let’s not always fight.” Xu Ran tried to coax Dai Xiaotao to calm down, then shamelessly approached Pei Huaixue to flatter him. “Xiao Xue, you look so pretty today.”
Pei Huaixue sneered. “Xu Ran, when did you get a million followers? Why didn’t I know?”
Xu Ran’s expression stiffened. “I’m just here to fill in.”
His follower count was only a little over a hundred thousand, far from qualified to attend the event.
However, Pei Huaixue couldn’t be bothered with other people’s business. He and Xu Ran were no longer friends, and he was even less inclined to pay attention to him.
Xu Ran didn’t think so.
He now deeply regretted falling out with Pei Huaixue. If he had known Pei Huaixue would turn the tables, he wouldn’t have been so ruthless back then.
Now that he was following Dai Xiaotao, Dai Xiaotao was nowhere near as generous as Pei Huaixue, and his temper was terrible, treating him like a lackey.
If possible, he still wanted to be friends with Pei Huaixue again.
He knew Pei Huaixue was sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, and not very clever; he was easy to appease with a few compliments. So, Xu Ran surrounded Pei Huaixue as he used to, showering him with praise.
Pei Huaixue was annoyed by the noise. “Can you just be quiet for a while? I don’t want to talk to you.”
The viewers in the comments couldn’t help but mock Xu Ran.
– Hahaha Xu Ran is too funny. He backstabbed Pei Huaixue before, and now he’s acting like nothing happened. How can he be so thick-skinned?
– How did the organizer arrange this lounge? They put all of Pei Huaixue’s enemies here.
– Good job, Xuexue! Don’t pay attention to such two-faced people!
– Xu Ran’s follower count isn’t enough, yet he can attend this event. Heh, I smell something fishy.
Dai Xiaotao scoffed. “Xu Ran, you really have no backbone.”
He also found two-faced opportunists like Xu Ran most distasteful.
Xu Ran’s face turned red from their comments, and he felt deeply resentful.
He didn’t know what Pei Huaixue was so proud of. He just managed to latch onto Gu Minghe, didn’t he? Just wait, one day he wouldn’t be doing any worse than Pei Huaixue.
–
At the meet-and-greet venue.
Gu Minghe wore a hat and sunglasses, sitting among the crowd. To avoid being too conspicuous, he sat separately from Gu Yanchen and the others. Even so, his tall, 6’3″ frame still stood out prominently.
“Elder Brother, you’re so tall, you’re blocking my view.” The girl sitting behind him whispered, “Could you please not sit so straight?”
“…” Gu Minghe pulled his hat lower and mumbled, “Sorry.”
– Hahaha Actor Gu is being complained about
– Sister, if you knew who was sitting in front of you, you’d regret what you just said, haha
Gu Minghe’s camera operator was sitting in the third row behind him, capturing Gu Minghe’s back and live streaming this amusing scene. Netizens immediately burst into laughter.
The girl was about to say something else, but after hearing his voice, her eyes suddenly changed. She pulled her friend closer and excitedly said, “Holy cow, don’t you think his voice sounds familiar?”
“Does it?”
“It’s Gu Minghe! It’s Gu Minghe!” The girl secretly scrutinized Gu Minghe’s profile. After confirming she hadn’t mistaken him, she quietly told the people around her.
Her friends were also very excited and quickly took out their phones to secretly take pictures.
“Is he here with Pei Huaixue?”
“It must be!”
“Their relationship is too good! They don’t want to be separated for a moment!”
“Oh my god, does that mean we get to see some live PDA??”
Most of the people sitting in this area were Pei Huaixue’s fans. After learning that Pei Huaixue would attend this event, they rushed over overnight to support him.
They didn’t expect a buy-one-get-one-free deal—besides Pei Huaixue, they got Gu Minghe too!
Everyone felt like they hit the jackpot at the thought of witnessing their chemistry live!
