This Translation is hosted on https://bcatranslation.com/
Towards the shock happening in the live stream, the ladies could no longer care because they’d been numbed to the core after opening all of the books on the shelf.
“Fuchun Mountain Residence”, “Yan Zhenqing Authentic Works”, “Walkway Map”, “The Deities Poetic Painting”, Beethoven’s original composition….
One by one, world-famous works are presented before everyone’s eyes with some being lost or destroyed according to official knowledge!
With this news spreading like wildfire, the number of viewers in the stream had exceeded two million with it rising at an astronomical level.
Not only that, some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the country also got involved in the bidding wars.
However, Song didn’t pay any attention to these merchants at all and instead shot her friend Music a look.
Understanding this, the internet streamer promptly shut her broadcast down for fear of the consequences.
“Sister Song, are we in trouble?” Coco, the youngest of the four, asks apologetically.
None of them are fools. To reach their level of fame, they must have some intellect and realized by now the impact of their discoveries was not going to die down simply because they were offline.
“Tinga-Ling-Ling” The phones of the four rang almost at the same time.
They were all called by their managers, and it doesn’t take a genius to know why they’re calling.
Spirit the film queen looked helplessly at the house mistress, “Sister Song, what should we do now~?”
“If not… we can say the stuff in the stream is all fake. We’re just hyping things up?” Coco proposes.
The other three ladies instantly lit up over their youngest’s suggestion, “Good idea, let’s do that!”
It would make a lot of sense if they used that excuse, right?
Not like there’s anyone else around. As long as the ladies keep their mouths shut and keep with the story, who could say otherwise?
After unifying their story, they answered the phones.
“SONG!!! How can you make a scandal this big? Do you know how huge things are right now? Our company phones are flying off the rockers, it’s bigger than when you announced your marriage before the public!”
From Song’s phone, a middle-aged woman’s voice was frantically screaming over like she’s about to lose her sanity. Her name was Sister Li, she’s capable and well organized and has been the singer’s manager since her early days.
“Do you have any idea who’s calling me on my private number right now? They’re all-powerful people, some able to squash our company with a single finger!”
Sister Li felt her world spinning just mentioning the nightmare coming down.
She herself could be considered a character with some influence, but these people bombarding her phone were at the next level. Government bodies, wealthy tycoons that control entire industries from the shadows, mob bosses of the underworld, even small country heads are personally making calls to her!
Simply said, the live stream had poked the hornets’ nest and was getting out of control!
“Who the hell is your husband?!” Sister Li asked in a near-breakdown.
Due to Song and Chu Yun not getting a wedding held and directly getting their marriage certificate in secret, the manager herself never did get to meet the guy. What she did know was that the singer had been the breadwinner of the household, effectively making the husband a sugar boy.
“Sister Li, everything just now is actually fake. Us four sisters are only hyping things up for ourselves.” Song pretends to be calm and explains.
Even if the other party was her own manager, Song didn’t know who to trust at this moment.
“Fake? Hype? WAHHH???” Sister Li became stunned.
However, the manager soon understood Song’s meaning and played along, “I know what to do then.”
After a pause, she continued, “Song, I will make myself very clear. Go tell your husband this news and have him prepare a script for the media. This won’t end with a simple press release.”
Not missing the manager’s concern, the singer immediately nodded and replied through the face chat, “I know, thank you Sister Li.”
The four beauties soon wrapped up the conversation with their own managers, giving the same excuse as the other. Nevertheless, the idea of what they found still left them antsy inside.
“Sister Song, what the hell does my brother-in-law actually do?” Music asks with a look of worry and awe at the priceless items scattered across the floor.
“I don’t know either.” Song shakes her head dejectedly and gets all depressed, “The truth is I’m the one who pursued him. I fell in love with him at first sight.”
Remembering back to the first time they met, the singer’s cheek would blush up due to the embarrassing encounter.
“WHAT?!” The other three were stunned beyond belief.
Who’s Song? She’s an international singer with world-class fame. How could she chase after a guy like a puppy begging for love?
“You three never met him so you won’t understand.” Song sways her body left and right in a lovestruck manner, “He is the perfect guy in this world. I didn’t want him to work because I was afraid other women would pester him and get his attention….”
The other three beauties: “…..”
What the heck?
Is there really such a man in the world?
How much charm must he have to make Song fall heads over heels for him like a fan?
Coco huffs and huffs after realizing another meaning, “So the reason why you never brought Brother-in-law over to let us see is because you wanted to keep him for yourself?”
“So you don’t even know what he does for a living?” Spirit was equally as dumbfounded.
Song nods apologetically and fiddles with her finger, “Mhmm… I only cared about him being with me.”
“YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS!!!” The three friends shouted in unison.
Despite their outcry, the ladies also couldn’t help but be extremely intrigued by their friend’s husband. It’s like a maiden getting entranced by a mysterious guy that kept hovering around themselves. It’s charming yet seductively enticing for the female sex.
“By the way Song, you should quickly call your husband back to explain the situation. What if the media catches him without us around? That would be disastrous!” Spirit the film queen was the first to come back to her senses and grew urgent.
Meanwhile, Music and Coco both lit up with their eyes over the idea. This way they would finally be able to meet the guy and learn of this mysterious brother-in-law.
“I can’t, my calls can never get through whenever he’s out on his trips,” Song explains bitterly like a jealous maiden.
In light of the complaint, the wife still took out her phone and dialed the familiar number.
“Sorry, the number you’re calling is out of the service area, please call again at a later time.”
“Not in the service area?” Coco frowned after hearing the sentence through speaker mode, “Is there still a place in this world that is not serviceable? Is he in some remote island or forest?”
Music concludes: “What a mysterious brother-in-law!”
“Sister Song, when will my brother-in-law come back?” Spirit has made up her mind. She’s going to meet this legendary brother-in-law of hers no matter what. Even if it means pushing back her busy film schedule and getting into a fight with the managing company, the film queen doesn’t care.
“He said the quickest is a week, the slowest a month.” Song explains.
“In that case, we should do something else in the meantime. Oh right, Sister Song, can we have a sip of those wine in the storage room? I’m so curious as to how they taste.” Coco pleads, getting all cute and childish.
“Of course Coco, you are my dear sister so of course you can drink some. No matter what happens outside, us four sisters will always be together. Let’s get drunk tonight!”
“YAAAHHHH!!!”
……
While the four beauties were enjoying their ladies’ night by getting themselves drunk in their pajamas, the four managing companies seems to have come to an agreement in the background and issued a press release at the same time.
In summary, the content of the stream was fake and simply designed to wow eyeballs. As for the items shown, they’re counterfeits and synthesized through new technology
This statement naturally became the hottest search topic and attracted quite the heated discussion.
“So it’s all fake, and here I was shocked out of my mind.”
“Upstairs, do you really believe that excuse from the managing companies? Look at how many VIP accounts there were in the chat room. You think those big bosses would follow along with an entertainer’s drama show?”
“Who knows, those bosses probably got conned into it as well like us. Those wines and famous artworks are too rare and legendary, there’s no way they can be real.”
“Probably just hype. If all four companies work together, I guess they can develop something of this scale. Just look at how heated the forums are with this topic. It’s everywhere, even on the national news!”
