by MarineTLChapter 63: Brother is a Big Star – 9
Ren Sen brought Ren Xin home. Looking at the well-behaved child in his arms, he first gave a doting smile, but then he thought of the mischievous little troublemaker she became once she woke up, and a headache began to form.
Just then, his manager called. Ren Sen immediately muted the phone. Ren Xin rolled over, mumbling some incoherent grumbles, and then drifted back to sleep.
“Ren Sen, look at the internet. Someone hired a water army1 to attack you. Who did you piss off?”
Ren Xin’s ears twitched, and she was instantly alert. She scrambled up from the bed with fluid movements, opened her tablet, and searched for Ren Sen’s name.
Ren Sen: “???”
It turned out someone was spreading rumors that Ren Sen had a sugar daddy backing him, claiming his rising resources were all thanks to a benefactor’s support.
As it happened, they had been photographed the day they went out to dinner with their father.
Ren Xin looked up at Ren Sen. “Brother, what are your thoughts? Should we post a family photo?”
Ren Sen shook his head in refusal. “That would bring trouble to Mom and Dad.”
Ren Xin looked at him with an “iron cannot become steel2” expression of disappointment. “What are you afraid of? Aren’t parents meant to be troubled? Otherwise, when they get old and need us to take care of them, should we say it’s a trouble then too?”
Ren Sen hurriedly explained, “No, that’s not what I meant.”
Ren Xin waved her hand. “Leave it to me!”
Ren Xin’s fingers began to move across the screen with rapid proficiency. She started trading barbs with the haters while simultaneously guiding public opinion.
Ren Sen: “???”
After resolving a portion of the backlash, she tracked down who was behind the scheme.
“It’s Li ZeKai and Guan Siyu from your group teaming up to screw you over.”
Ren Sen’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Siyu and I are on the best of terms, and our public personas don’t overlap at all. He has no reason to do this!”
Ren Xin ignored her brother, who was currently questioning his life choices, and asked directly, “Has he ever seen photos of our family? Or does he know our dad is a CEO?”
Ren Sen shook his head. “Even my manager doesn’t know.”
Ren Xin created an account and leaked the process of the two hiring the water army along with some of their private dealings, using a headline that blurred the lines between truth and scandal:
【Best Buds in Public, Backstabbers in Private: You’ve Really Mastered the Art of the Betrayal.】
Meanwhile, Ren Sen used a family photo to debunk the rumors. “I heard my father is my sugar daddy? Fine, I’ll come clean. I do indeed have a benefactor!”
CEO Ren somehow caught wind of the situation and immediately issued a statement of support via the company’s official website.
“Both children are my own. Currently pursuing my wife. Do not disturb!”
Mother Ren also posted on Weibo and tagged Ren Sen.
“My biological son. If you have a problem, come at me! Also, a certain someone should also stop disturbing me!”
Once these Weibo explanations were posted, the No-Line Artist status immediately skyrocketed to top-tier fame. Fans and passersby alike left teasing comments below.
【Young Master, did you come to the entertainment industry to start a business?】
【It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a smile on the Young Master’s face. (Dog head emoji3)】
【I actually think this parental pair is kind of ship-worthy. Isn’t this real-life CEO literature4? No wonder Sister Xin loves reading it. If I were exposed to this every day, I’d love it too~】
【Mom, I’ve made it! I’m a fan of a rich second generation~】
【Ren Sen, you will be my greatest connection in the entertainment industry.】
【Hahahaha… I’m dying. Did you guys see that paparazzi leak? I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it was actually Guan Siyu who backstabbed him.】
【I won’t say whose fans are going to be unable to sleep tonight.】
【Could the parents who produced Sister Xin be ordinary parents?】
Ren Xin hid her contributions and fame. Ren Sen looked at his younger sister with a profound gaze. “You’re only three years old. How do you know how to do all this?”
“I already told you, I’m already three. Now you know you’re just here to make up the numbers, right?”
