Chapter 129: They’re the Same Person

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The live broadcast on the Internet was very lively. As society developed faster and faster, live broadcasts had become a mainstream trend. One of the reasons for the broadcast was due to the exposure of a charity that made fake donations and pocketed the funds. With the live broadcast, they could also prove the authenticity of the charity auction.

Although the cameras did not focus much on Lin Xiaowan, there were a few people who spoke about her. This was mostly due to her seat.

[Hey, who’s that girl sitting next to Gu Yuwu?]

[That girl next to Gu Yuwu is so pretty. When the camera panned over to Sister Yuwu earlier, 1 saw her. Her skin is glowing!]

[Perhaps she’s a rookie. 1 saw Gu Yuwu talking to her earlier!]

[Sister Gu isn’t so free that she has time to look after a newbie like that. Their seats are near those famous celebrities. Perhaps she’s a lesser-known celebrity from a small company?]

[Can I just say that she’s really pretty? Although she’s not the stunning kind, the more I look at her, the more I like her!]

[I agree! Although I’m a girl, I like her look a lot. She looks kind, and her eyes are sparkling. She looks very gentle with no attack power at all. She’s definitely very popular among girls!]

[I want to know more about her! If she’s a celebrity, I’ll become her fan immediately!]

[Even as a man, 1 like her very much!]

[I still prefer a cool and valiant person like Sister Gu!]

[I just looked through Sister Gu’s social media, but there’s no sign of this girl. The latest post is still that of Lin Qing.]

The discussions in the comment section moved very quickly. It did not take long before they began to discuss Lin Qing’s latest videos and designs. When the camera turned to the stage for the performance, the topic also quickly turned to performance.

When the topic returned to Lin Xiaowan again, it was when she was bidding for Wu Shenbo’s Longevity painting.

Lin Xiaowan had forgotten about the live broadcast since no one talked about it. Moreover, the cameras were placed far away in discreet positions. She completely forgot that the cameras were filming everything.

Since Lin Xiaowan was bidding, when the cameras turned to her, they did not sweep past her like before. This time, her face was clearly shown. Naturally, they also showed the young boy seated at the back who was also bidding.

However, since this was an auction, the cameras focused more on the items that were put up for auction.

Just like Lin Xiaowan, the audience also found the style of bidding strange.

[I can tell that the little beauty is speechless. I’m also speechless. What’s the other party trying to do?]

[It’s been 8oo rounds! The time that passed is enough for Tang Sanzang to complete his pilgrimage to the West and deliver the Buddhist scripture. How long is this going to last?]

[I’m going to die of laughter! The little beauty raised the bid fiercely in the beginning, but now she has also fallen into the other party’s rhythm…] [Hahahahaha! When the camera zoomed in, I caught her rolling her eyes! It’s obvious that she’s annoyed!]

[Hey, you see that person who starred in The Boys Next Door? Is that person next to him Qian Yiran who stole the limelight in that talent show? Who’s that middle-aged man seated with them? Is he their father? 1 saw the three of them talking earlier!]

[No way. Qian Yiran said on the show that her father is just an ordinary worker.]

[I’m a fan of hers, and 1 feel a little complicated right now. 1 suspect that the middle-aged man is Qian Yiran’s backer.]

The screen was filled with many question marks about this comment.

[What??? You can’t speak without evidence. That’s terrible behavior!]

[Considering how she has been in the limelight recently, I feel like this might be possible…]

[Wow, I can watch a show just by watching this live broadcast! ]

[Things are getting interesting. Who’s that boy who blushed when he was bidding? Does anyone know him?]

[I don’t know who the red-faced boy is, but someone seems to have found who that little beauty next to Sister Gu is.]

[Am 1 the only one here who’s interested in the items that are being auctioned?]

[I just went on Speaker, and I saw posts about that mysterious little beauty. Not only are you guys watching the live broadcast, but all of you even have time to become Sherlock Holmes?]

Someone had analyzed the photos of Lin Xiaowan from Lin Qing’s video back then that only showed her slender neck and her collarbone. They compared it to the screenshots of her at the auction. They confidently concluded that they were the same person.

Some people found this ridiculous and made it known in the comment section.

[Just by looking at the neck and collarbone you came to this conclusion? I’ll only believe it if Gu Yuwu confirms this herself!]

[It’s not impossible. After all, it’s not difficult to identify a person by their chin or eyebrows. As such, it’s not impossible to identify someone based on their necks and collarbones.]

[Does this mean she’s not a celebrity? She’s sitting with Sister Gu because they’re friends?]

[She could also be related to Sister Gu. In the video, she called Sister Gu, ‘Sister’.]

[Stop speculating blindly. Who cares who she is? Can’t you just admire her beauty quietly?]

[In any case, the two of them have something in common. Their skin is glowing. Based on that alone, 1 feel like there’s a high possibility that they’re related!]

Lin Xiaowan was unaware that she was in danger of being exposed. At that time, she was focused on the bidding. She raised her paddle, and when she lowered it, she met the gaze of a bidder sitting on the other side.

The other party smiled at her politely, and she returned the smile. She felt that the entertainment industry was really small.

The other party was the playboy in a flowery shirt whom she had met when she went out with Cheng Ruitong. Today, he was dressed decently in a suit, and his hair was also meticulously styled. He looked mature today.

Someone placed a bid at this moment. When Lin Xiaowan heard the 1,000 increase, the corners of her lips twitched. Contrary to her expectations, when she turned around, she discovered that the red-faced young boy from before was not the one doing the bidding. Instead, it was a dignified young girl sitting next to him.

The young boy was nowhere to be seen, and the seat next to him, which was occupied by the bald middle-aged man, was also empty. It was likely that he had left early.

The girl was none other than Qian Yiran, who was being discussed earlier. When she saw Lin Xiaowan looking at her, she straightened her back and smiled with a hint of pride.

Lin Xiaowan was baffled when she saw the other party’s smug smile. She did not think too much of it and withdrew her gaze.

In the end, it was the rich young master who won the bid for the red wine.

After the banquet ended, there was a small after-party. Lin Xiaowan was not interested in it. She would not be able to fill her stomach at such a party, and the people there also spoke with hidden meaning. Just thinking about it made her feel bored. After she went through the formalities, she asked Gu Yuwu if the latter was planning to stay back..
