    Chapter 71: Brother is a Big Star – 17

    Ren Sen’s status was on the rise, and with his positive public image, major brands were scrambling to collaborate with him. As a result, he had become incredibly busy, with an endless stream of schedules every day. He had no time to coddle his little sister.

    Fine then, Ren Xin thought. If that was the case, she would just have to be a third wheel to her parents.

    “Daddy, do you not love me anymore?”

    CEO Ren answered without a moment’s hesitation, “I do love you!”

    “Then do you love me more, or Mommy more?”

    CEO Ren continued to answer without hesitation, “Your mother!”

    Ren Xin: “…” Couldn’t he at least lie to her?

    Her mother chuckled from the side before starting to act all lovey-dovey with CEO Ren.

    She knew it. Since Mom and Dad didn’t love her that much, it was even more impossible for them to love her brother. Her brother was truly a poor little thing!

    Ren Sen: “???” Where exactly did you get that conclusion?

    Since things were still boring, she decided to go online and mess with Wu Xian!

    Book Spirit Number One: “…Host, think twice!”

    Ren Xin said excitedly, “I’m the type of person where the more you try to stop me, the more stubborn I get. In short, I’m a mule. You don’t need to pity me; I brought this on myself.”

    “…”

    Wu Xian had already spent money to suppress the rumors online. His public explanation was that although he was a singer, being an actor had always been his dream. He claimed he was practicing in his spare time for a movie audition, and there was no other reason for his behavior. He hoped everyone wouldn’t misunderstand and would be supportive of his dream.

    【Wu Xian is so dedicated! He’s already so excellent in the music industry, yet he’s still working so hard for his dream!】

    【Yeah, I’m a Wu Xian fan starting today! Is there a fan group I can join??】

    【Supportive? You earn my monthly salary in a single minute, and you want me to be supportive? I also have a dream of getting rich overnight; why don’t you support me too!】

    【Everyone is way too easy to fool. Fans really just swallow whatever garbage these celebrities feed them. No logic at all.】

    【Fortunately, my new idol’s house won’t collapse. I can be a fan with total peace of mind!!】

    【Who is it? If they’re that good, tell us. I want to be picked up too. I’m still wandering around, taking my group of sisters to peek over every celebrity’s wall1.】

    【Sister Xin. A three-year-old cutie with tons of drama. Most importantly, she doesn’t do internal conflict; if something’s up, she just has a direct meltdown! And the absolute best part is that her ‘house’ won’t collapse—at most, she’ll wet the bed or fail to wean off her milk. You can be a fan without any worries.】

    【Is she that interesting? Let me go take a look.】

    【Sister Xin: Is this how you guys introduce me to the world? You fake fans!】

    After hearing about her, some passersby immediately searched for Ren Xin and quickly fell into the rabbit hole, laughing their heads off.

    Ren Xin watched the follower count on her new alt-account climb steadily. She was confused for a moment until she found the reason under Wu Xian’s Weibo.

    This stepping stone was both uncomfortable and an eyesore!

    Ren Xin withdrew her hand from the reporting hotline. She took the money she earned from selling the tip to the paparazzi and casually donated it. Afterward, she gleefully watched the chaos online.

    Just moments ago, Ren Xin had received reliable information that Wu Xian was soliciting at Bar T. Well, why wait? One phone call and he was sent away! She even took the opportunity to tear his “modesty cloth” into shreds.

    She was actually being merciful. He had previously tormented the original host’s family until they were ruined and dead, yet now he would only be locked up for a few years.

    No, she needed to add more spice. Human trafficking was a cost-effective, practical, and long-lasting label to slap on someone!

    But to Ren Xin’s surprise, the police actually found some evidence on their own, so she didn’t even need to lift a finger.

    This time, Wu Xian was definitely not getting out.

    Word had it that when Wu Xian was arrested, he was still shouting, claiming he was there to do charity work by giving money to those “poor girls”…

    This dramatic turn of events sparked massive discussion among netizens.

    【I also want to rescue those poor girls all the time!】

    【The Poor Girls: I just came out to make a bit of money, how unlucky do I have to be to run into a psycho like this!!】

    【Wu Xian is going to be the death of me. I didn’t take it seriously when the gossip said he was charged extra because he didn’t last long enough, but thinking about it now…】

    【Don’t say it, just don’t say it. This is some real tea.】

    【I heard a “Chaoyang Resident2” reported him. Who is this person? I was thinking of saving some poor girls myself when I got the money, but I didn’t expect the whole nest to be busted.】

    Ren Sen was currently filming on set. Because he was trending lately, the company had arranged a few minor roles for him to test the waters.

    He took a break to call Ren Xin. “I saw the news online. Does it have anything to do with you?”

    “I am that Chaoyang Resident! Extremely righteous!”

    Ren Sen: “…”

    “How many more surprises do you have that ‘This Emperor’ doesn’t know about?”

    “Don’t ask. If you ask, I’m staying silent!”

    “Didn’t you say you were coming to visit the set recently? You’ve been dragging your feet for days. Why haven’t you come?”

    Ren Xin felt her life had been very fulfilling lately. She had been going to work with her CEO Daddy for several days now. How could she have time to worry about some little unknown star!

    “Brother, I am very busy. I hope you won’t be so unreasonable!”

    “So, what exactly can you do at Dad’s company?”

    The way he said it made it sound like she would be able to write scripts if she visited his set.

    “Mind your own business!”
