Chapter 23: A Failed Scheme That Costs More Than It Gains!
In an instant, Xu Xu's livestream room was once again flooded with gifts from the Carnival!
The fans in the livestream room couldn't help but wildly spam the chat, and the atmosphere soared to a climax!
"[Wow! The top donor is amazing!]"
"[This is awesome, hahaha!]"
"[This is what I call voice acting! Can you even call that screeching the other side does voice acting? I spit on it!]"
"[LOL! The other side is just screeching, how dare they call it voice acting?]"
"[Exactly, this top donor is the best!!!]"
"[The other streamer is trash yet still barking? Ridiculous!]"
Xu Xu’s fans erupted in cheers!
So thrilling!
You’re incredible, big sis!
Meanwhile, Xu Yaru’s fans were left speechless and had no choice but to slink away in embarrassment.
This was genuine talent—anyone with ears could tell!
Many of the fans originally in Xu Yaru’s livestream felt ashamed and fled.
Even Xu Yaru’s top donor, upon hearing Xu Xu’s voice acting, was so impressed that he couldn’t help but jump into Xu Xu’s livestream to send gifts!
This infuriated Xu Yaru!
That was her fan! Her top donor!
This was a complete backfire!
Just then, Xu’s mother entered with a fruit platter, about to urge Xu Yaru to eat more fruit, but she caught sight of Xu Yaru’s sour expression.
“Yaru, what’s wrong? Who upset you?”
Xu Yaru quickly muted the livestream mic and looked at her mother with a pitiful expression.
“Mom, I’m in a live PK with someone who’s basically a hostess, really nasty! She’s deliberately using paid trolls to sabotage my stream for traffic!”
She spoke with a face as if about to burst into tears.
Hearing this, Xu’s mother grew anxious. She put down the fruit platter, pulled out her phone, and entered Xu Yaru’s livestream room—sure enough, the chat was filled with insults aimed at Xu Yaru.
“This is too much!”
Furious, Xu’s mother wondered why anyone would bully her daughter like this!
With that, she immediately topped up a million yuan and began showering Xu Yaru with gifts to boost her ranking!
A flurry of gifts revived the once cooling stream, and Xu Yaru’s livestream quickly filled with a flood of viewers!
“Don’t worry, Mom’s here!” Xu’s mother comforted her pitiful daughter with blinking eyes, “Let’s see who dares to insult you now!”
---
Viewers and fans in Xu Yaru’s livestream gasped at the lavish gifts. “Wow! Such generosity!”
Proudly, Xu Yaru turned on her mic and coyly addressed the camera, “Hehe, thanks to Mom’s gifts! Mom loves me the most!”
"[Wow! Yaya is truly a rich heiress!]"
"[Does Mama need a daughter? I’m in!]"
"[So jealous of Yaya, having such a wealthy mom!]"
"[Incredible!]"
Xu Xu saw this and her heart sank as she watched Xu’s mother keep sending gifts to Xu Yaru.
Although she knew her mother was biased, she never imagined it would be this extreme!
She recalled how she used to scrimp and save just to please her mother, giving her savings as gifts. Yet now, her mother was spending the money Xu Xu had given her to spoil Xu Yaru…
A bitter feeling welled up inside Xu Xu.
What annoyed her even more was that her mother was still bossing people around in Xu Yaru’s livestream!
“My precious daughter deserves to be spoiled!” Xu’s mother showed half her face and waved to the fans, “But her livestream is just for fun—after all, we’re not short of money.”
Xu Xu frowned slightly.
That sounded… odd. Like a veiled insult.
Sure enough, the next words were worse: “Unlike some poor souls who have to sell their looks to make money!”
Xu Xu burst out laughing in anger, retorting, “Like mother, like daughter—both spreading nasty rumors and slander!”
“Slander? Am I wrong?” Xu’s mother sneered, “My precious daughter doesn’t need those cheap tricks!”
Watching the livestream, Huo Hanshen laughed, “Cheap tricks, huh?”
Lin Feng was furious too, “Damn, that old witch is arrogant! Let me show you what a wealthy second generation’s shock looks like!”
He started sending gifts at lightning speed.
Huo Hanshen stayed expressionless but followed suit, sending the most expensive gifts available.
Soon, their gifts completely outmatched Xu Yaru’s side!
“Wha—”
Xu Yaru was dumbfounded, never expecting the top donors on the other side to be so powerful!
Her mother’s one million yuan gift was now surpassed!
She hurriedly turned to her mother, pleading, “Mom, they’ve outdone me! Keep going or I’ll be laughed at!”
Seeing this, Xu’s mother glanced at her remaining balance—just over one million yuan—and decided to top up everything she had left!
She kept gifting, reassuring Xu Yaru, “Don’t worry, I just added another million. I don’t believe they can keep this up!”
Perhaps the other side’s donations were scraped together with gritted teeth.
---
But just as Xu’s mother thought this, the other side began flooding gifts again, doubling the amount in no time!
Their second top donor, “Sweetie,” even taunted: “Hey, aren’t you from a rich family? Keep donating then!”
Xu’s mother was speechless.
She hadn’t expected the other side to be so wealthy!
Now she was in an awkward spot—she had already used all her secret funds!
If she topped up again, Xu Jianjun would definitely find out and scold her!
So she couldn’t continue!
Seeing her mother’s embarrassed hesitation, Xu Yaru sneered inwardly.
“Really? For a chairman’s wife, she’s so poor!”
Just two million?
She thought of other wealthy wives who spent hundreds of millions without blinking.
Why was her mother so useless?
But she could only keep these thoughts to herself, putting on a facade of innocence and pity.
Looking at her mother, she pretended to be understanding and said, “It’s okay, Mom. I’m used to being mocked, so it doesn’t matter this time. Please don’t keep competing with them.”
Her words…
Initially, Xu’s mother had wanted to give up, but seeing her daughter’s pitiful eyes and obedient words softened her heart again!
She immediately opened her phone and told Xu Yaru, “Don’t worry, Yaru! Mom won’t let you be wronged! Xu Xu linked me her family card before—it has three million yuan!”
She absolutely wouldn’t let her precious daughter become a laughingstock!
As Xu’s mother busily operated her phone, Xu Yaru’s face lit up with joy.
She couldn’t help but mock Xu Xu inside—what a fool to link all her savings with their mother!
Serves her right that her money was being used by them!
However, Xu’s mother’s expression soon froze—she discovered the family card link had expired! She couldn’t access the funds!
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Xu Yaru asked quickly, noticing her mother’s odd expression.
Could it be that the money was gone?
