The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 54
byChapter 54: Shocking the Entire Audience
Chapter Fifty-Four
Regarding this top supporter, everyone was prepared to see a middle-aged man. Like Shen Zhimian, they thought that even if Pei Huaixue hadn’t privately contacted him, a generous sugar daddy who could spend so much money every time couldn’t possibly be a young person.
So, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, when the tall figure walked onto the stage, everyone froze.
Although Gu Minghe was still wearing a mask, his familiar sharp eyes and the persistent coldness emanating from him made him instantly recognizable. Isn’t that Gu Minghe?!
Why did he walk out at this moment?
The host was stunned for a long while. He finally recovered, thinking Gu Minghe had returned to the stage after changing clothes. He quickly said, “Film Emperor Gu, we’ve moved on to the next segment…”
Gu Minghe coldly swept his gaze over him, took the microphone handed to him by a staff member, and said in a deep, cool voice, “I am the person invited for this segment.”
“Ah?” The host thought he had misheard.
The next second, a deafening roar of screams erupted from the audience.
“Ahhh, what is Gu Minghe saying? Did I hear that right??”
“He was invited by the organizers, does that mean he is Pei Huaixue’s top supporter in the live stream?!”
Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Fearing a mistake, the host quickly contacted the organizers. After receiving a definite confirmation, he immediately put on a smiling face and said, “Film Emperor Gu, I apologize, I didn’t understand the situation just now.”
“I’ve confirmed with the organizers. Film Emperor Gu is indeed Pei Huaixue’s top supporter, the legendary ATM for Princess Xuexue!”
This ID was quite embarrassing. While it seemed fine in the live stream, hearing it read out loud in person made people want to cover their faces.
Pei Huaixue covered his slightly flushed cheeks with both hands and looked up at his Husband on the stage.
Gu Minghe happened to be looking in his direction. Their eyes met, and Gu Minghe’s eyes held a smile so gentle it could drown a person. He slowly began, “I came here today to clarify the rumors that have been circulating online recently. Pei Huaixue’s top supporter is not some pot-bellied middle-aged man. He has not privately contacted such a person, nor has he broken up anyone’s family, because that top supporter is me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue erupted in an uproar.
Whether they were fans at the venue or netizens in the live stream, everyone was too shocked to speak.
“Oh my god, why didn’t we think of this sooner? Gu Minghe likes Pei Huaixue so much, isn’t it normal for him to gift tens of millions to Pei Huaixue!”
“It’s all those rumors that blinded me, making me think that ATM guy was an old man!”
“I never thought Film Emperor Gu would also tip male streamers online, hahaha, but since it’s Pei Huaixue, everything makes sense!”
“They forced Film Emperor Gu to come out and clarify personally. Look how ridiculous those rumor-mongers are!”
Netizens also flooded the screen with bullet comments.
-Holy crap, what a scene of publicly defending his wife! Those rumor-mongers, did you see that? You called the ATM guy a middle-aged man, now you’ve been slapped in the face, hahaha.
-Film Emperor Gu, I’m telling you, don’t love him too much! You’d rather let people know your Douyin side account than protect your wife.
-What kind of beautiful love is this? Mom, I’m shipping the real deal!
The revelation that Gu Minghe was Pei Huaixue’s top supporter was like a sudden thunderclap, leaving everyone stunned and feeling that everything was unreal.
And Gu Minghe’s Douyin side account instantly gained followers the moment it was exposed.
No one expected the usually aloof Film Emperor Gu to choose such a secretly passionate name for himself in private.
But it also showed, from the side, that he truly liked Pei Huaixue!
To support his wife’s career, he anonymously tipped him. When his wife was being slandered, he didn’t hesitate for a second to drop his disguise. Fans were truly swooning now; the sweetness was so intense they needed insulin shots.
“It’s going to be hard to end this without them getting married!”
“Childhood sweethearts should be together!”
“But Little Xue’s family background is too different from Gu Minghe’s. Will the Gu family dislike Little Xue?”
“I heard that in Wealthy Families, the in-laws are difficult to deal with. I hope Xuexue won’t be bullied after marrying in.”
While shipping them, the fans began to worry about the marriage.
Backstage.
Dai Xiaotao was completely dumbfounded the moment he saw Gu Minghe announce his identity.
What was going on?
How could Gu Minghe be Pei Huaixue’s top supporter? That’s impossible!!
Shouldn’t Pei Huaixue, like him, be fawning over those ugly middle-aged men, coaxing them with sweet words, begging them for gifts?
And privately, he should have to attend dinner parties arranged by the big brothers and sisters, humbly flattering and kneeling before them.
But Pei Huaixue didn’t have to do anything. His top supporter was Gu Minghe—young, tall, handsome, wealthy, and a Film Emperor known by the entire nation. Even if they weren’t dating, just having a private connection, Pei Huaixue had hit the jackpot.
Not to mention that Gu Minghe liked Pei Huaixue so much.
Dai Xiaotao was going crazy with jealousy.
Why did Pei Huaixue get all the good things??
So, the reason no one dared to bully him at Xingyue Agency before was that Gu Minghe was protecting him behind the scenes?
With such a powerful and loving childhood sweetheart as his backer, no wonder Pei Huaixue’s journey as an influencer was smooth sailing. If he hadn’t inexplicably run off to pursue Gu Yanchen, he wouldn’t have faced so much criticism.
Dai Xiaotao suddenly understood.
He also realized that he had offended someone he shouldn’t have.
Pei Huaixue had Gu Minghe as his support. If he kept opposing Pei Huaixue, how could Gu Minghe let him off the hook?
His heart instantly sank.
On the stage, all the top supporters who could attend had arrived. Gu Minghe stood out significantly in the line of top supporters.
Not only was he much taller, but his appearance completely overshadowed everyone else.
The Film Emperor’s face, which was flawless even on the big screen, effortlessly outshone this group of ordinary people.
The other influencers and streamers were so envious they didn’t know what to say.
Look at Pei Huaixue’s top supporter, then look at their own. They wanted to cry.
Not only did he win in looks, but in terms of financial power, Gu Minghe was far ahead.
The other top supporters only tipped up to the million level at most, while Gu Minghe spent tens of millions every time he showed up in Pei Huaixue’s live stream. This level of wealth was unattainable for others.
Among the top supporters on stage, there were also many of Gu Minghe’s fans. They excitedly pulled out their phones, secretly taking photos with Gu Minghe from various angles.
Below the stage.
Shen Zhimian’s mouth remained in an “O” shape. He tightly gripped Pei Huaixue’s arm, full of surprise: “Little Xue, why didn’t you tell me your top supporter was Film Emperor Gu! I’ve been worrying about you the whole time!”
Gu Yanchen and Su Jin had known for a long time and looked unsurprised.
Su Jin had previously misunderstood that the top supporter might be Gu Yanchen, but after clearing things up with Gu Yanchen, he learned it was Gu Minghe.
Although he didn’t know why Gu Minghe had said those strange things to him, at least the misunderstanding was resolved.
When Gu Yanchen learned that Su Jin had developed such an absurd misunderstanding because of Gu Minghe, he cursed his rotten younger brother hundreds of times in his heart.
He had two stumbling blocks on his path to wooing his wife: Pei Huaixue and Gu Minghe.
Thanks to them, he almost lost his wife.
Pei Huaixue smiled, “A surprise isn’t fun if you tell everyone beforehand, is it?”
“True. Let’s see if those people online dare to spread rumors about you again.” Shen Zhimian sighed in relief for Pei Huaixue, then added enviously, “You and Film Emperor Gu have such a good relationship. I’m not so lucky.”
Pei Huaixue comforted him, “A loss may turn out to be a gain, right? It just means the person you’re with now isn’t suitable for you.”
He couldn’t be too explicit, so he only hinted.
Shen Zhimian was smart and should understand what he meant.
Sure enough, Shen Zhimian fell silent, seemingly contemplating something.
After the host finished introducing everyone, he invited each streamer onto the stage one by one.
Gu Minghe walked to the edge of the stage. Amidst the screams of the crowd, he looked at Pei Huaixue, who was sitting in the front row, and directly extended his hand to him.
“Ahhh!”
This action immediately caused the whole venue to erupt again.
Pei Huaixue was still comforting Shen Zhimian when the commotion made him look up slightly. He saw Gu Minghe reaching out to him from the stage, the tall shadow completely enveloping him. Following that hand upward, he met the man’s deep, bright eyes.
Gu Minghe gave him a gentle smile, “Come up, I’ll catch you.”
Pei Huaixue was enchanted and instinctively reached out, placing his small hand in Gu Minghe’s palm.
The next second, he was pulled up by a strong force, and an arm wrapped around his waist, holding him securely. Using that momentum, he easily leaped up and jumped straight into Gu Minghe’s arms.
Gu Minghe held him firmly, directly carrying him onto the stage.
For a moment, the screams of the audience nearly blew the roof off the temporary venue.
“Help, this is too sweet!”
“You two are just feeding us dog food and ignoring whether we live or die, huh!”
“We actually got to see a hug live, it was worth it, worth it!”
Everyone else on stage looked on with envy.
Dai Xiaotao was still backstage because his top supporter hadn’t come, so he didn’t need to go on stage for this interactive segment.
Xu Ran, however, stood with his top supporter, a slightly overweight, sleazy man who constantly stared at him with suggestive eyes.
Xu Ran wasn’t a major streamer. He had pulled some strings to attend this event today.
His top supporter had only tipped him a few hundred thousand in his live stream, but even so, he still had to cater to this big brother.
As soon as he got on stage, the top supporter hinted that he should accompany him to dinner tonight.
Xu Ran was annoyed, but he could only smile and agree.
At this moment, he desperately missed the days when he was friends with Pei Huaixue. If Pei Huaixue were still around, everything would be the same as before. The gifts Pei Huaixue gave him—selling just one handbag would fetch hundreds of thousands. Life was incredibly comfortable, and he wouldn’t have to flatter this top supporter now.
He regretted it terribly, secretly thinking that he absolutely had to reconcile with Pei Huaixue.
