The Delicate Cannon Fodder Is Coveted By Her Ex-Husband In The Love Show Chapter 53
byChapter 53: The Top Donor Appears
Chapter Fifty-Three
As soon as Dai Xiaotao spoke, the entire venue erupted in boos.
“Dai Xiaotao’s intentions are too obvious, he’s deliberately causing trouble!”
“Tsk, since he can’t compete with Pei Huaixue, he resorts to these dirty tricks. Despicable!”
“Isn’t that just sour grapes?”
“Good heavens, to launch such a direct attack, spreading rumors right in front of the person concerned—is he really not afraid of being sued?”
“Is it really a rumor? But I’m also very curious about the relationship between Pei Huaixue and his top donor!”
The audience immediately began buzzing with discussion, and the live stream chat was flooded with comments, mostly cursing Dai Xiaotao.
Dai Xiaotao smiled smugly. He watched Pei Huaixue expectantly, hoping to see a look of panic on his face. However, after a long moment, Pei Huaixue remained completely composed, as if the words he had just spoken had caused him no harm whatsoever.
What a good actor.
He then looked at Gu Minghe and saw that Gu Minghe’s expression was cold, his eyes instantly becoming dark and gloomy, like he wanted to devour someone. Dai Xiaotao shivered. He assumed Gu Minghe was angry because Pei Huaixue’s true colors had been exposed, so he mustered his courage and continued his verbal attack: “Pei Huaixue, you already have Actor Gu, so why are you still flirting around everywhere, especially with those pot-bellied, middle-aged old men? How can you stomach that?”
Pfft.
Hearing the description about the old men, Pei Huaixue couldn’t help but cover his mouth and laugh out loud.
This laughter made Dai Xiaotao’s face turn even uglier.
How could this person be so thick-skinned? He could still laugh at this?
In contrast, Gu Minghe’s expression grew even darker. He didn’t allow Dai Xiaotao to continue, instead saying coldly, “Everything you just said has been recorded by the live stream. This will serve as evidence of your slander against Pei Huaixue. Prepare to be prosecuted.”
What?
Dai Xiaotao’s face changed. He said in disbelief, “You trust Pei Huaixue that much? Whether I’m spreading rumors or not, he knows the truth himself!”
Gu Minghe frowned. The reason he accompanied his Husband to this offline event today was to clarify this very rumor. He opened his mouth, ready to reveal the truth, but the host quickly walked over to smooth things over, trying hard to change the subject.
Pei Huaixue had finished laughing and said dismissively, “What can I do? Even though I’m so despicable in your eyes, Gu Minghe still likes me this much. Are you very angry?”
Although the tone was playful, it was truly provocative.
Dai Xiaotao was furious. The scene he had expected—Gu Minghe immediately turning against Pei Huaixue—never materialized. Instead, it only further confirmed the fact that Gu Minghe was Pei Huaixue’s devoted fanboy.
“Hahaha, others have a love brain, but Actor Gu has a Pei Huaixue brain. I don’t care, I’m shipping them to death!”
“CEO Gu, you really shouldn’t love him this much, hhh.”
“Exactly, sue Dai Xiaotao to death! Let him know that some things shouldn’t be said carelessly, and some nonsense shouldn’t be spouted!”
“Dai Xiaotao’s actions today are truly embarrassing!”
Some of Dai Xiaotao’s fans in the audience were also disgusted by their idol’s behavior today. They covered their faces, unwilling to admit they were his fans.
Only two or three die-hard fans were still arguing: “What the heck, what Xiaotao said is the truth! If you did it, you should own up to it!”
“Who would randomly spend tens of millions on a stranger these days? It’s either money laundering or being kept!”
“Calling him the top donor sounds nice, but he’s probably just a sugar daddy!”
Those few people huddled together, chattering below the stage, speaking up for Dai Xiaotao.
Soon, Pei Huaixue’s fans sitting around them began to fiercely criticize them, and the two groups of fans quickly devolved into an offline shouting match, nearly coming to blows.
However, Dai Xiaotao’s fans, being outnumbered and lacking the courage to fight, could only retreat timidly to the side, scolded into silence.
While the audience was noisy, the stage wasn’t idle either.
The host dared not let Dai Xiaotao and Pei Huaixue interact again and quickly cued him and Xu Ran to go change clothes. Pei Huaixue and Gu Minghe continued playing the game.
After clearing all the obstacles, the two won first place in the quiz game.
Pei Huaixue was well protected by Gu Minghe; by the end of the game, he was the only person in the entire venue who hadn’t gotten wet at all. Gu Minghe, on the other hand, had gotten slightly damp.
Pei Huaixue felt bad for his Husband and quickly told him to go change his clothes first.
The host congratulated Pei Huaixue on winning a million-traffic boost on the Douyin platform.
Everyone else looked on with envy.
At this point, the influencers finished the game and left the stage, preparing for the next segment.
Pei Huaixue didn’t return backstage but went to the VIP audience section to greet Gu Yanchen and Su Jin.
The moment he appeared, the audience became restless.
If it weren’t for the security guards blocking them, he might have been carried away on the spot.
“Xiaoxue, you were so good at the quiz, and your reactions were so fast!” Shen Zhimian looked envious.
Su Jin also praised him for being excellent just now.
Pei Huaixue accepted the compliments, his tail practically wagging. After chatting for a while, Pei Huaixue prepared to go backstage to find Gu Minghe, but Gu Yanchen called out to him.
“Sit down and watch with us.”
“The next segment should be very exciting.”
“Huh?” Hearing Gu Yanchen’s confident tone, Pei Huaixue felt a little confused.
However, he obediently sat down, as Su Jin and Shen Zhimian were also enthusiastically inviting him. He sat in the audience section, waiting with everyone for the next segment.
The surrounding fans were so happy they were nearly fainting.
“Ahhh, the benefits today are too good!”
“Xuexue smells so nice! I wonder what perfume he usually wears, or does he just naturally smell good?”
“Up close, his skin looks even better—so delicate and smooth. I really want to poke it.”
“He’s simply a beautiful, exquisite doll. His looks are absolutely top-tier!”
Fans in the live stream were incredibly jealous.
This is too close! How can they get such benefits? They should have gone to the offline event!
Pei Huaixue didn’t know what Gu Yanchen was hinting at, but his curiosity was piqued. He raised his eyes expectantly, wanting to see what spectacle would unfold next.
The host then introduced the next segment: “Next, we have specially invited the top donors from each streamer’s live room to come to the venue and support their respective streamers. I believe everyone must be curious about the wealthy patrons in each live room, right? This is a new, mysterious segment added to this offline event.”
What?
Hearing about this so-called mysterious segment, everyone grew excited. This was truly a pillow arriving just when they were sleepy.
Just moments ago, people were speculating about Pei Huaixue’s ambiguous relationship with his top donor and curious about his identity. Now, the organizers were directly inviting all the top donors.
Everyone would clearly see what each streamer’s top donor looked like.
If Pei Huaixue’s top donor wasn’t some pot-bellied, middle-aged man, it would completely shatter the rumors!
Dai Xiaotao, watching backstage, was shocked that the organizers had this move up their sleeve, and he felt a little flustered. He didn’t actually know what Pei Huaixue’s top donor looked like; he was just following the trend and spreading rumors. But his own top donor was genuinely an old man!
Why didn’t the organizers consult him before inviting people?
And his top donor—why did he keep such an important matter a secret from him?
His face changed repeatedly, looking incredibly unpleasant.
“Good job, organizers! If there are rumors, they should be clarified on the spot. I believe in my Xuexue.”
“Some people are dirty themselves, so they maliciously speculate about others. Be careful not to expose your true colors later.”
Pei Huaixue’s fans continued to mock Dai Xiaotao. The few remaining Dai Xiaotao fans stubbornly insisted, “The one who should be careful is Pei Huaixue! Just wait and see him make a fool of himself! Let’s see how he defends himself now!”
Shen Zhimian nervously tugged at Pei Huaixue’s hand: “Xiaoxue, aren’t you worried at all?”
“Worried about what?” Pei Huaixue looked completely relaxed.
“Although I know you definitely don’t have private contact with your top donor, those wealthy patrons who like to give large online gifts are usually older coal bosses. What if your top donor comes out looking old and ugly, with a big belly? Wouldn’t that just play right into the hands of the rumor-mongers? There will definitely be more gossip…”
Shen Zhimian was already imagining the top donor as a nouveau riche wearing a thick gold chain, pot-bellied, with an LV belt around his waist.
The rich local bosses in his memory looked exactly like that.
Pei Huaixue glanced at Shen Zhimian and couldn’t help but smile, hooking his lips. “Actually, I did have private contact with my top donor. They weren’t wrong.”
“Ah?” Shen Zhimian’s mouth dropped open, stunned.
This… is this something he should be saying??
“Then Actor Gu…”
“He knows too.”
“Then, then he doesn’t mind?”
“He doesn’t mind,” Pei Huaixue said, his eyes curving into crescents as he smiled.
Ah, teasing Shen Zhimian was too much fun.
Shen Zhimian: …
So Actor Gu really has a cuckold fetish?
“Xiaoxue, stop teasing him,” Su Jin couldn’t watch anymore and shook his head helplessly. “You’re going to trick him into stupidity.”
“You were tricking me just now!” Shen Zhimian snapped back to reality, realizing he’d been fooled.
Pei Huaixue shook with laughter.
Actually, he hadn’t lied to Shen Zhimian.
Gu Minghe was his top donor and his Husband. It was perfectly normal for him to have private contact with his Husband, hehe.
“So this is the show Elder Brother wanted me to see.” Pei Huaixue finally realized why Gu Yanchen insisted he sit down and watch.
Gu Minghe hadn’t even told him about this mysterious segment. Hmph, Husband was being disobedient and keeping secrets. Pei Huaixue decided he wouldn’t let Gu Minghe kiss him tonight.
At this moment, the top donors who agreed to participate in the event began to appear one by one.
Because the popularity of each streamer varied, the financial strength of their top donors also varied.
Those who had spent hundreds of thousands and those who had spent millions stood together on the same stage.
Everyone had specially dressed up for this event.
There were no particularly old or ugly people. Most were ordinary, successful businessmen, and the female top donors were even more meticulously dressed; every one who appeared was beautiful.
When the audience heard the amounts they had spent in the live streams, they sighed, wondering why they couldn’t be one of the rich people!
It was now time for Dai Xiaotao’s top donor to appear, but the host announced: “Dai Xiaotao’s top donor is unable to attend this event due to personal reasons. We regret this and will continue to invite the next one.”
“Not coming? Could it be that he has a guilty conscience and dare not show his face?”
“There must be something fishy. Could the rumor about a certain influencer sleeping with an old man be referring to Dai Xiaotao? He’s also from Xingyue Agency.”
“I think so too. Otherwise, why would Dai Xiaotao keep bringing this up? He clearly wants to throw the dirty water onto Pei Huaixue to clear himself.”
Dai Xiaotao couldn’t hear what the audience was saying, but he felt a slight sense of relief.
It was fine as long as the person didn’t show up.
After all, his relationship with his top donor was indeed not entirely innocent.
“Dai Xiaotao keeps talking about Pei Huaixue, but he’s not so clean himself, tsk tsk.”
Everyone was chatting, discussing which top donors were the most attractive and wealthy, until the host said: “Next, let’s welcome the top donor of Pei Huaixue’s live stream—Xuexue Princess’s ATM!!”
Immediately, everyone fell silent, holding their breath, and looked up at the stage expectantly.
The person everyone most wanted to see was finally about to arrive!
