Chapter 69: Brother is a Big Star – 15

Netizens were curious and clicked in one after another to see what was going on!

They discovered it was a video of Wu Xian alone, gesturing wildly at thin air and talking to himself. His face was twisted in a violent rage, and judging by his lip movements, he seemed to be cursing.

【The possibility of him using a Bluetooth headset to make a call has been manually ruled out.】

【Some tech experts are saying the video is a single continuous shot with no signs of editing or compositing, so…】

【Friends, the more you think about this, the more terrifying it gets!!】

【Is this guy possessed by something?】

【It’s possible. Otherwise, how could his rise to fame have been so impossibly smooth!】

【I heard many celebrities in the entertainment industry keep “little ghosts¹.” Is Wu Xian doing that too?】

【Don’t say it, you might actually be onto something!】

Ren Xin watched for a bit but soon found it boring. It didn’t matter, though; she had plenty of time, and she could take things slow.

The grudge of the original host and her family had to be avenged, but since the opposing system was a colleague, she couldn’t hurt it too badly.

“Why have I become so hesitant lately? I’m not being carefree at all.”

Book Spirit Number One: “You’d better watch how you talk!”

The variety show finally came to an end. As it wrapped up, Ren Xin felt she needed to treat herself well.

Ren Sen didn’t understand. “How exactly have you been mistreated?”

“You don’t get it. A girl needs to reward herself every now and then, for no reason at all.”

【That is so true! I’m rewarding myself with a dessert today!】

【I’m so reluctant to let Sister Xin go. I still want to watch her roast people live!】

【Doesn’t Sister Xin know how to read faces? Why doesn’t she do a livestream for us! No special reason, I just want to hear her talk nonsense!】

【I second this! When is the time? Where is the link?】

The variety show was officially over. Time to pack up and go home! Ren Xin was only thinking about resting, but to her surprise, Guan Ming walked over with a complicated expression.

“Uncle Guan, are you here to settle the final payment?”

“No, the accounting department will handle that directly with Ren Sen’s agency. It’s like this, Xinxin, do you remember that old grandpa you met when you went looking for ingredients?”

“The one who gave me food?”

Guan Ming nodded with some difficulty. That man was definitely no ordinary person. Guan Ming had been anxious for a long time, but seeing that the big shot didn’t seem to have any particular demands, he had relaxed. Who would have thought the man would go through several intermediaries just to contact him, wanting Ren Xin to participate in a certain program.

“So, what do you think?”

Ren Xin was somewhat reluctant, but for the sake of her silly brother, the younger sister had no choice but to “sell herself.”

Ren Sen: “…” That’s unnecessary. They were both very busy, and he had plenty of scheduled appearances, okay?

However, he still had to do his due diligence. “What kind of program is it? Who’s the director? Who’s investing? And who are the sponsors…”

Now this was professional!

Guan Ming answered them one by one. “It’s a program about touring museums, following some experts from the Forbidden City². It’s a project by Auntie CCTV³.”

Ren Sen understood, but he was also stunned.

Ren Xin asked nonchalantly, “Can I bring my brother?”

Guan Ming said enviously, “You can. That grandpa said if you agree, it’s fine. Oh, and your good friend Yuanyuan is also participating.”

“Then I agree. Give me that grandpa’s phone number, I’ll tell him directly.”

Guan Ming was shocked by Ren Xin’s bluntness and decisiveness. “Don’t you want to think about it some more?”

Ren Xin shook her head. “I can tell from the envy on your face that this must be a good thing! By the way, Uncle Guan, let me tell you: hurry to the hospital and get your neck checked. There should be a slight problem, but it’s nothing major.”

Guan Ming: “??? You know Chinese medicine too?”

“A little, but I’m better at reading faces!”

Guan Ming didn’t take it seriously, assuming the child was just joking. It wasn’t until his wife’s workplace organized a physical exam that allowed family members to join that he figured he might as well get checked. That checkup turned out to be a big deal—they found a Category 4A nodule⁴. It wasn’t a crisis; other than regular checkups, he just had to watch his diet!

But still, it was pretty terrifying, wasn’t it?
