Chapter 229 -229: He’s Actually Brother Liu, the Watermelon Seller?!

Huo Ziyang’s face had already turned deathly pale.

Huo Xuan, how did she come to know about this?!

He had concealed it so well!

Mr. Huo’s face also darkened.

He knew his daughter’s temperament all too well.

Although she was dissatisfied with his new wife, she had never made a scene for the sake of his dignity.

He had done his best to compensate her whenever possible.

So, if there weren’t any solid evidence, she would certainly not cause a fuss.

Thinking this, Mr. Huo coldly glared at Huo Ziyang.

“Is everything your sister said true?”

Huo Ziyang started trembling all over.

Having stayed up for several nights, his energy was already low; now, caught in such a panic-stricken state, he almost fainted.

Upon seeing her son’s frightful complexion, Madam Huo quickly reached out to support him, her face full of distress as she said, “Huo Zhenhua, what are you doing? Yangyang is your son too. Even if he spent ten million, so what? Our family isn’t lacking that kind of money!”

“But what if that money was spent dubiously and was involved in illegal activities?”

Huo Xuan walked straight to the desk and put in the password to unlock Huo Ziyang’s computer, then turned the screen to show their father.

“These are the proofs of Huo Ziyang buying online troll armies to attack others on the internet. The people selling these accounts and managing this business are of dubious origins to begin with, and the money earned is laundered through illegal means. Moreover, creating negative public opinion is illegal in itself.” Huo Xuan’s every word rang with conviction and her emotions did not erode her logic.

Thinking of the rhetoric the netizens in the live broadcast room taught her before the confrontation, Huo Xuan calmed down a bit, then deliberately adopted a meaningful and earnest tone:

“Dad, do you know what’s even more outrageous? The people he attacked online are the siblings from the Jiang Family. Our two families have had some interactions. By doing this, did he ever consider your reputation?”

This really hit Mr. Huo’s bottom line.

He was involved in real estate; to win projects, he inevitably needed to cultivate a wide network of contacts.

Though the Jiang Family weren’t particularly influential, they were still reputable in the shipping industry.

What face would he have to ask for help from the Jiang Family in the future if the need arose?

Yet that wasn’t the most critical issue. He was recently competing for a government-offered land project.

If Huo Ziyang, that little brat, really caused a scene and got investigated, his competitors would definitely publicize it widely.

Losing the project was the least of his worries—his future livelihood was the real concern.

It was fortunate that Xuanxuan had alerted him today!

The more Mr. Huo thought about it, the angrier he became, to the point he directly slapped Huo Ziyang across the face.

“Look at what a fine mess you’ve made! How did I raise such an ungrateful wretch like you? When I tell you to work at the company, you find it troublesome and don’t go. When I tell you to study abroad, you find it tiring and refuse. Instead, you stay at home and create these problems for me?! Do you have any conscience at all when you smear others like that?!”

Huo Ziyang was stunned by the slap, crashing heavily to the floor without recovering for a long while, not even daring to let out a breath.

Madam Huo screamed and rushed to embrace him, then glared at Mr. Huo, her voice breaking with sobs.

“Huo Zhenhua, if you dare to do anything to Yangyang today, I might as well be dead. I’ve been married to you for twenty years; when have I not endured and stayed silent? Yangyang is still a child. Isn’t it enough to teach a child a lesson when he makes a mistake? What more do you want?”

Madam Huo’s tearful accusation successfully softened Mr. Huo’s heart.

He even began to wonder if he had been too harsh just now.

Witnessing this scene, Huo Xuan was not at all appeased.

She hadn’t caused a scene before and was unaware, but now that she had, the true nature of her stepmother became clear.

Was this an act of playing the victim?!

The audience in the live stream was fuming with anger.

“Damn, this stepmom really knows how to act, calling him her child. Who the hell has seen a child over twenty? A grown-up with a disability?”

“Miss’s father seems to be reasonable, if it were any other family, they would probably be protecting their precious only son by now.”

“So infuriating, I want to jump through the screen and slap each of them, mother and son, for acting like they’re right when they’re wrong!”

“Holy crap, this is so exciting, it’s like watching a TV drama. My mom got pulled in to join the gawking.”

Thanks to the hot search buzz, the number of people in Jiang Li’s live stream room had already broken through fifty thousand, firmly occupying the top spot without ever moving.

She herself was not the least bit excited, as if she was used to such scenes, calm and composed.

Behind her, Zhao Lang had an amused look, it seemed he found the storyline quite juicy, and he leaned forward a bit.

“So you knew all along that the other person’s brother was your number one hater?”

Jiang Li pondered for a while, “Not really, I just made some deductions to figure it out.”

Now Zhao Lang truly understood the girl’s true talent.

She even managed to calculate that.

What about the other things?

Zhao Lang fell silent, but the live stream room was boiling over again.

“What??? What did I just hear? Jiang Li actually figured out who her hater was?!”

“This is insane, it’s just ridiculous. How can there be such a coincidence? I knew something was odd when Huo Xuan spoke, so I went back to look at the screenshots, and damn it, her brother Huo Ziyang is actually that Brother Liu who gobbles melons on Weibo!”

“Ah? Ah? Ah? Things are starting to develop in an unimaginable direction, did Lili just expose the leader of her haters?”

“Damn, I’m dumbfounded. Can Sister Li calculate for my brother too? I also want to know who his haters are.”

“Fuck, with a skill like that, wouldn’t she walk sideways in the entertainment industry?”

In an instant, an already hot topic shot to a climax.

—To calculate and identify her own top hater, isn’t that outrageous?!

Not only the netizens but some celebrities who saw this hot search were also tempted.

Should they also ask Jiang Li to do some calculating for them?

While the entire internet was amazed by Jiang Li’s supernatural abilities, Su Yinwan in live stream room number six was fuming.

She seriously suspected that the production team was deliberately making things difficult for her.

Who has suppliers that are children???

This kid, not even ten years old, was initially obedient but soon started running around near the live stream room.

Then he was scared by the pigs in the pigpen, and now he’s crying and screaming on the spot.

Originally, her live stream room had more than a hundred thousand people, but in a moment that she looked away, the number had dropped to fifty thousand.

Looking at the rankings, both the popularity list and gift list were firmly occupied by Jiang Li.

Just a while ago, her online count had just broken ten thousand, but now it had soared past one hundred thousand and was still climbing.

The heat data left all the staff members dumbfounded.

Is this really Jiang Li’s first live stream???

The audience she’s pulling in is even stronger than the big shots, okay!

Su Yinwan was not willing to concede, and deliberately let out a long sigh.

“Jiang Li is so amazing, she surpassed us so quickly. It looks like we need to continue working hard too.”
