“Wang Ergou!”
When Li Xinting laid her eyes on the newcomer, her lips curled in anger.
“What are you doing here?” she bellowed, her indignation evident.
But instead of showing remorse, Wang Ergou sported a lecherous grin and replied, “What am I doing? I’m here to see my darling. Do you have a say in that?”
He then casually seated himself in a nearby chair and, in a bizarre turn of events, picked up the remaining half-bowl of cornmeal porridge left by Sister Zhou.
As he shoveled spoonfuls into his mouth, he continued, speaking into his smartphone, “Hey, folks! Wasting food is a sin. There’s so much delicious cornmeal porridge left over. And can you believe someone’s trying to kidnap my darling, even after I’ve paid the dowry and we’re getting married tomorrow? What would you do in my shoes?”
Only at that moment did Zhou Jie and Li Xinting notice that Wang Ergou was live streaming!
There were quite a few viewers, thousands of them!
Although prominent streamers like Li Yidao could easily garner millions of viewers during live streams, amassing thousands of concurrent viewers was an impressive feat for most streamers.
Li Xinting glared at Wang Ergou with a face full of fury, but she restrained herself from saying anything further.
She was a well-known internet streamer, and if she spoke out now, she could easily be criticized.
Despite everything, Wang Ergou was speaking the truth.
She had come here with the intention of taking Yang Qingyue away.
Her purpose was to make her change her mind about the marriage and disrupt the upcoming wedding.
So, the best course of action for Li Xinting was to remain silent.
There was no point in trying to explain away Wang Ergou’s lecherous behavior.
Words could easily be twisted.
After all, the old saying held true, “The more you talk, the more likely you are to be wrong.”
Meanwhile, within Wang Ergou’s live stream, his followers were up in arms!.
“Holy crap! Who dares to steal Brother Gou’s wife?”
“Exactly! Brother Gou should teach them a lesson, just like last time when he confronted that scrawny guy!”
“Hush, don’t spread rumors. That scrawny guy injured himself last time. It had nothing to do with Brother Gou!”
“Right, it was all his own doing. Had nothing to do with Brother Gou!”
“Brother Gou, need any help? We’re on our way! Who tries to snatch Brother
Gou’s wife, who does he think he is?”
“Wait… why does that woman in the video look so familiar?”
“Umm… just a glimpse, but I think I saw someone I recognize too.”
In the shaky footage, someone finally noticed the other people in the room.
“Wait a minute! It’s two people! Apart from Brother Gou’s wife, there are two women in the room. They’re both streamers!”
“Exactly! One is the one with the big mouth! The other… is that Beauty?” “Holy crap! It is them! Isn’t that Sister Zhou and Beauty? What are they doing there?”
“They’re both streamers, right? Do they know Brother Gou? Are they there to help?”
“Seems like it. But… something’s off. I sense tension in the air.”
“No, no, this doesn’t make sense! Look, Brother Gou seems to be arguing with Beauty!”
“Right! Look at Beauty’s expression, she looks furious. Sister Zhou seems angry too!”
“What’s going on? Didn’t Brother Gou say someone was trying to steal his wife? Who’s the guy? Where is he? And how did Sister Zhou and Beauty end up involved?”
“Well… I have a guess. Could it be that Sister Zhou and Beauty are the ones trying to steal Brother Gou’s wife?”
“Sister Zhou and Beauty trying to steal Dog Brother’s wife? Are you kidding?
What’s the point? What can they do?”
“Well, they might actually pull it off, considering the props they have.” Everyone was speechless.
“The person above is really awesome. How can you conclude this way? However, have you ever thought that Sister Zhou and Beauty might be helping others.”
“Heh, you think so? Wow! Can it be true?”
“You guys, what are you talking about? Who are they helping steal? Who?”
“Hehe, just think about where Sister Zhou and Beauty live right now. Who have they been hanging out with recently? It’s also a man, and he’s someone Sister Zhou can help!”
“Um… my goodness! Is it this exciting? Brother Dao?”
“It seems like everyone’s on the same page. Could it be that Brother Dao wants to steal Brother Gou’s wife?”
“Wait, did Brother Gou snatch Brother Dao’s wife, and now Brother Dao wants to take her back?”
“D*mn, you guys are really imaginative! Your minds are incredibly creative!”
At that moment, Wang Ergou’s livestream chat became exceptionally lively.
Some imaginative fans even managed to twist the entire narrative within the livestream.
Even the latecomers were well aware of one thing: Brother Dao’s wife had been stolen, and now Sister Zhou and Beauty were on a mission to steal her back. It might not make much sense, but who cared about logic when it was all about riding the trending wave?
The energy was so intense that by the time Wang Ergou realized it, it was already overwhelming.
He hadn’t initially noticed Sister Zhou, whose fame in the industry far exceeded that of Li Xinting.
As for Li Xinting, Wang Ergou knew she was a streamer and had opened the livestream hoping to ride on her wave of viewers. What a thrilling development!
The rising excitement and sensational attention in the livestream chat were perfect for boosting his viewership. He couldn’t have foreseen the unexpected twist.
He now knew that Sister Zhou was present. Their recent proximity had garnered much attention, especially given the buzz surrounding Brother Dao and Li Xinting. As a fellow streamer, it was impossible for him to ignore this news.
“Hehe, so you’re Sister Zhou, didn’t expect to meet you in person. I’m your fan,” suddenly Wang Ergou addressed Sister Zhou. However, the lecherous smile on his face was met with scornful gazes from both Zhou Jie and Li Xinting.
Sister Zhou subconsciously took a step back.
“Alright, let’s go back to the topic just now. Are you planning to snatch my wife?”
“Or is one of you going to be my wife?”
“Wang Ergou! You b*stard!” Li Xinting couldn’t take it anymore!
She didn’t care if it was a live stream or not!
“Wang Ergou, I’ll tell you! Qingyue will be with me today, whether you agree or not! There’s no room for negotiation in this matter! It’s just an 188,800 yuan dowry, isn’t it? I’ll double it for you!”
By now, Li Xinting’s eyes were ablaze with fury. However, Wang Ergou just chuckled.
Continuing to address the livestream chat, he said, “Did you all see that? Is having money really so impressive? An arranged wedding, almost at the point of no return, and you dare to cancel it just like that?”
He laughed mockingly. “That’s the ‘big streamer’ you all admire so much! I’m just a ‘small streamer,’ and I’m genuinely frightened!”
The tone and attitude he used were infuriating, giving off an air of arrogance, leaving people utterly flabbergasted.
At this moment, a loud slap was heard and Li Xinting’s furious expression froze on the spot!
The livestream audience was equally shocked.
It was Sister Zhou who had delivered the slap.
She now glared at Wang Ergou with an icy expression, making it clear that if he dared to speak again, he’d be in for another slap..
