At the same time, Su Tang, who had been watching the live broadcast, was also kicked out of the live broadcast room. Before he could react, he received a message from Wen Yunzhi.
“Why did Wanwan suddenly stop broadcasting?” Wen Yunzhi’s message carried a hint of disappointment. “It’s rare that he started broadcasting, and I didn’t get enough of it.”
Su Tang was aware that the account “YZ” belonged to Wen Yunzhi. After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and typed a message on the screen:
“Didn’t you make him go offline? And that HY or whatever, are you both trying to help Wanwan make his debut?”
Wen Yunzhi had been in a state of concern and confusion, but when she read Su Tang’s message, she suddenly snapped out of it. She placed her phone down, feeling a sense of frustration.
All she wanted was to support Xia Wan with her money and be able to watch his live broadcasts. But this seemingly simple desire felt like an insurmountable obstacle to her.
She looked at the food in front of her but had lost her appetite as usual.
“Mom, let’s eat,” Xue Wenxuan said, holding a bowl of soup and offering it to her. He had also seen Su Tang’s message, but he found it rather amusing, unlike Wen Yunzhi, who seemed troubled by it.
It seemed that when it came to Xia Wan’s affairs, Wen Yunzhi would lose her sense of proportion, acting reckless and eager like a child.
“Why are you arguing with netizens?” Xue Wenxuan remarked. “If they want to send gifts, let them. Ultimately, it will benefits Xia Wan, right?”
Wen Yunzhi accepted the soup bowl in silence, appearing somewhat dissatisfied. She muttered, “I just want to be the best in front of Wanwan.”
She just wanted to be the best, and it was this drive that had cost her Xue Wenke.
As these words left her lips, Wen Yunzhi was struck with a sudden realization, her eyes filling with a heavy sadness. She whispered to herself, “Maybe Grandfather was right. I was just too driven, and that’s why I lost Ake.”
Back then, as a girl from an ordinary family, she had entered the Xue family on her own, becoming Xue Chong’s personal secretary. She knew their backgrounds were vastly different, but she fell in love with Xue Chong nonetheless.
Such a relationship was not blessed by most people, and Mr. Xue shared the same disapproval. So, she had tried her utmost to bring even a small glimmer of respect to their relationship.
Eventually, they overcame numerous obstacles and entered into marriage. Wen Yunzhi became another pillar of the Xue family, and no one dared to underestimate her anymore.
Most people respected and even feared her.
However, Wen Yunzhi was aware that all of this had come from her relentless efforts.
As a result, her love for Xue Chong grew stronger with time. Even through two pregnancies, she had never allowed herself to become lazy, returning to work at Xue immediately after giving birth.
Naturally, Mr. Xue was not pleased with this. For him, the company had no shortage of employees, but his grandchildren lacked the companionship of their mother.
This was especially true for Xue Wenke, who was born incredibly beautiful, with round, bright eyes. The first time the elderly man had held the soft little bundle, the child had smiled and fluttered his eyes at him.
Mr. Xue held a deep affection for his little grandson, Xue Wenke, which only deepened his dissatisfaction with Wen Yunzhi, who had devoted most of her energy to the company. In truth, he had never asked Wen Yunzhi to quit her job but had hoped that she would devote herself to their child until the age of three. After the child turned three and started attending kindergarten, it would suffice for the mother to be present in the mornings and evenings.

“It’s not what you think,” Xue Wenxuan began after a moment of contemplation. “Grandpa’s thinking is from an older generation’s perspective. Times have changed, and women can continue working after marriage. Men can also contribute to family life, especially in a family like ours. If we have the means, we should empower women.”
Wen Yunzhi had never heard such words from Xue Wenxuan before. She hadn’t dared to say them herself, nor had she found the courage to express them. Whether it was the loss of her younger brother or the absence of maternal love during her own childhood, Wen Yunzhi harbored a sense of resentment toward herself.
She hadn’t expected her child to say these words. For a moment, she was taken aback, and tears welled up in her eyes before slipping down her cheeks. She asked tremulously, “Do you really believe that?”
“Yes,” Xue Wenxuan reassured her, “I never blamed you.”
As a child, Ake had been adorable and precious, and he had adored his younger brother immensely. So, when they lost Ake, it had been an incredibly sorrowful time, and Xue Wenxuan had cried for a long while. But he had never held any resentment towards Wen Yunzhi; instead, his resentment was directed at the aunt who had secretly taken Ake away. As he grew older, he had only felt sympathy for his mother.
“It was just an accident,” Xue Wenxuan continued, “you shouldn’t blame yourself.”
Wen Yunzhi remained silent, her lips pressed tightly together. But the tears flowed freely, as if a floodgate had been opened. Over the years, she had shed countless tears, but this time, these tears helped relieve some of the overwhelming burden in her heart.
Xia Wan found himself once again pushed onto the hot search list, and the images of his shocked expression, with potato cubes falling onto his dinner plate and soup splattering onto his snow-white clothes, made him look both pure and alluring. Anchors and marketing accounts combined these clips with the speculations of netizens to create jokes, while spectators enjoyed the entertainment.
Comments flooded in, creating a lively atmosphere:
[I’ve only seen one blogger shut down a live broadcast due to too many rewards twice, and it was the same blogger and the same rewarder. If this is a series, I’d watch 10,000 episodes!]
[What will be the reward for 10,000 episodes? Can a math teacher please step in?]
[Ten thousand episodes? You must be kidding. The anchor will definitely cry!]
[Hahaha, the anchor is so adorable, he seems like he’d be easy to tease. Imagining the anchor getting scared to tears from being rewarded, who could handle that?]
[If the teasing you’re referring to involves money, then please spare the poor anchor and come to me instead. I can endure any number of episodes, let alone ten thousand episodes.]
[Can anyone be as cute as the anchor upstairs?]
[Hahaha, I burst out laughing when I saw the host drop the potatoes in shock, oh my, he’s so adorable! I miss him a lot too.]
[Maybe the person giving the rewards has the same idea as you, hahaha.]
[Weibo isn’t a place for extrajudicial activities, please drive with caution.]
[Last time I thought the anchor was super innocent, and this time was no different. I even imagined the potato stains on the white T-shirt.]
[The anchor is really fair-skinned. I want to become rich and reward him too. People are here to see beautiful women smile, but I want to see beautiful panic. Of course, crying is even more thrilling.]
[I can already image the sound of the anchor crying in my head. It’s heart-wrenching.]
[Attention upstairs, slow down…]
Certainly, there are many people poking fun at Xia Wan, but there are also quite a few interested in the two big bosses who make millions and spend extravagantly.
[There are lots of jokes about Xia Wan, but not too many people interested in those two millionaires.]
[Has anyone ever considered that the relationship between the two big guys is quite intricate? Whenever YZ make a move, HY inevitably follows suit. They’re both more ruthless than the other. I’m really curious to see how intense their battle can get if the anchor doesn’t quit. It’s intriguing to think about how far they would have taken it.]
[If the anchor quits, how will those two hold up?]
[I’m really interested in these big bosses.]
[The likelihood of their relationship being a love rivalry is quite high, but I doubt there are many who can afford to spend seven figures right at the start of a battle.]
[In every live broadcast, the anchor spends at least about half an hour eating. Considering the large audience, spending tens of millions for a half-hour challenge is nothing for each person involved.]
[Someone checked next door, and these two are newly registered users who have never tipped anyone.]
[In that case, both of them likely know the anchor in real life.]
[Smells like drama.]
[I was finally getting my brother to livestream, but these two went crazy and scared him away. What if my brother never livestreams again? So I appeal again, if you have money, come support my poor brother.]
[tsk, maybe the anchor is just exaggerating to make it seem more exciting. Otherwise, how could he become so popular so fast?]
[If you’re up for it, let’s see if you can hype it up like this. I bet you can’t reach the one-fifth of my brother ]
[What’s the taste? Very sour.]
Huo Yu’s fingers moved slowly across the screen, his brows furrowed slightly, masking his expression.
His attention was piqued when he noticed the phrase “Bang hard.” However, living abroad for many years had left him somewhat out of touch with the slang of domestic netizens. After a brief moment of contemplation, he decided to seek clarification and sent a message to Shen Yan through their chat software.
[Huo Yu: What does this phrase mean?]
Coincidentally, Shen Yan had just finished his lunch and was comfortably seated in his office, sipping coffee and enjoying the online buzz. He had been planning to share his thoughts on his charming sister-in-law when he received Huo Yu’s message.
Shen Yan hastily opened the message and took a sip of coffee, but he ended up spraying it all over the document in front of him.
【Shen Yan: Hahahaha, seriously, you don’t know this?】
Huo Yu pursed his lips, deciding to figure it out on his own. He had just opened the search engine when Shen Yan’s message came in again:
[Shen Yan: It means that XX has become hard and has an interest to do that….]
Huo Yu: ….
His gaze remained fixed on the small screen, his expression gradually darkening. Although he was aware that it was all a mockery by netizens, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of discomfort. After a moment of silence, he decided to call the public relations department.
“Xia Wan,” Su Tang got off the bed after replying to Wen Yunzhi’s message, “Why did you stop the broadcast? I was enjoying it.”
Xia Wan was still recovering from the shock, finding it all a bit unbelievable. “How much did they reward just now?” he asked, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
“I’ll do the math,” Fu Ling said, grabbing a calculator, “YZ tipped 1,000 first, then 2,500, HY tipped 2,000, and he might be planning to tip another 3,000. So the final total is 5,500. When converted to RMB, that’s 5,500,000 yuan.”
“Wow!” Fu Ling’s calculation left them all stunned. “That’s a lot.”
Xia Wan, however, felt a bit overwhelmed. Money had never been his primary concern, especially now that he couldn’t use it to buy his health or enjoy the things he used to take for granted. It wasn’t until he came to this world that he started to grasp the concept of money. The amount was just too much for both the tipper and the recipient, and he couldn’t help but feel anxious.
“In the future,” Xia Wan furrowed his brows, worried about potential conflicts between the two tipsters, “Can I still continue to livestream?”
“Why wouldn’t you?” Su Tang retorted, slightly exasperated. “Other streamers would be overjoyed in this situation, calling for more tips and treating the tipper like a god. Why are you so indecisive?”
“Let me tell you,” Su Tang continued, “Someone might be wealthy, spending millions or tens of millions like buying a lollipop. They’re happy because they’re getting something they like. If you quit like this, you’ll disappoint your fans who eagerly wait for your streams, and you’ll deprive others of their joy. It’s wrong, you know?”
“Of course, it’s wrong,” Fu Ling chimed in, “You’re absolutely right. Su Tang, you’re amazing.”
Su Tang’s enlightening words seemed to have an effect, and Xia Wan began to finish the remainder of his lunch, then washed up and climbed into bed, napping alongside Fu Ling.
He hadn’t been able to get a good rest for several days, but after a while, his breathing became steadier.
As for Fu Ling, the impact of the figure of about 5.5 million was too intense. He tossed and turned for a long time before gradually calming down and he fell asleep.
As they both dozed off, Su Tang quietly opened his eyes, noticing Shen Xing’s empty spot. He stealthily climbed out of bed and approached Xia Wan’s bedside.
Xia Wan was fast asleep, so Su Tang carefully trimmed a few of his nails and placed them in a sealed container. He then returned to his own bed and messaged Xue Wenxuan: “Brother, I got them.”

I kinda have mix feeling for Wen Yunzhi.
I feel bad for Xia Wan he’s like shocked to death because of two crazy rich people
lmao he’s so cute though maybe he’ll ask them not to tip so crazy? don’t scare him to death
Lol so cute! Thanks so much for the update!
I won’t judge who was right or wrong, but I really feel sad for WYZ despite some of her negligence… :<
Thank You for the new chapter (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
Sorry, I am confused. Did I miss something? I thought she was leaving Ake with a nanny/carer, when was she negligent? Did she leave him at the station? /srs
I know platform’s commission
Тhank you for your translation ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I think any mother would be obsessed if she thought she found her missing son, and in her situation particularly. She blames herself and she feels like her family blames her too. In her heartache, she’s forgetting that Xia Wan doesn’t know her, because for her, this is her son and she’s sure of it. She’s like a child hugging a kitten a little too hard, she means well, but is using too much force.

Wen Yunzhi literally did nothing wrong lmaooo. Like what about the father in the situation??? Are we really going to be blaming the mother in this situation, when her husband literally did nothing for the children. Was not her fault that her child was literally stolen by the auntie. Actual victim blaming from the grandfather….
But yeah, mixed feelings about how she is going about it, but totally understandable imo
agreed
Wouldn’t it have been easier to cut of some hair? Or take something that had Wanwan’s saliva on it?
Just saying 🤷🏻♀️
for the hair it should be with the root on it, not just strand so it might be difficult to test anything on it (it’s still holds info but not the one they seeking) and with saliva…how weird is that to say to your friend “hey spit here” or give him gum and say smth like “oh don’t throw it into trash just give to me!!!” lmao. i just think that with saliva it will be more awkward situation that’s all
funny how anything happening to babies or kids are blamed to mothers. where are you effing grandpa and father? where we you two when the kid was lost?
