Relieved, Shen Qing began to recount her past experiences.

"After my adoptive mother pulled me out of the sea, I forgot who I was and I didn't remember if I had any relatives."

“My adoptive mother was kind-hearted and took me in, giving me the name Shen Qing.”

"My adoptive mother also has a biological son, who is my older brother Shen Zhuo."

Last summer, my brother participated in a talent show, but an accident happened midway through.

Xia Chuyue had read this gossip and nodded regretfully upon hearing it.

“My brother is good at dancing, but on that show, the producer took money from a big company and deliberately smeared my brother during the editing, portraying him as an unambitious and incompetent person!”

Thinking of this, Shen Qing's face was filled with resentment, and he clenched his fists tightly.

“My brother was undergoing closed training on the variety show at the time, and it wasn’t until halfway through filming that he found out that the production team had actually smeared him like this!”

"He wanted to confront the production team, but they completely disregarded his reputation and intensified their smear campaign against him in the new episode!"

"In the end, my brother couldn't stand it anymore. He had participated in the boy group variety show with great enthusiasm, but after the veil was lifted, it turned out to be full of filth. He left halfway through in a fit of anger."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyue patted Shen Qing on the shoulder and sighed softly.

"It's okay. This variety show flopped terribly after it aired, so it was the right thing for your brother to leave."

Shen Qing took a deep breath and then continued:

"But the matter is not over yet. My brother signed a contract with the company and said he would be on a boy group variety show for a whole season. He left early, which violated the contract."

"The company said that my brother should participate in the show again to make up for it. My brother couldn't afford the high penalty for breach of contract, so he agreed."

Xia Chuyue was also quietly browsing through gossip and came across this place as well.

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred; Shen Qing's brother was in a car accident!

[Fate is cruel. The exorbitant breach of contract penalty and her brother's hospitalization costs are enough to crush Shen Qing and her adoptive mother.]

[Shen Qing's brother's company is a small company. They had already submitted their lineup for the new season of a boy group variety show, but after Shen Zhuo's accident, they couldn't find anyone for a while, until they saw Shen Qing!]

Although Shen Qing is a girl, she has sharp and delicate features, stands a full 1.79 meters tall, and wears androgynous clothing, making it impossible to tell her gender!

[So, after negotiations between the agency and Shen Qing, Shen Qing was allowed to participate in the new season of a boy group variety show under the pseudonym Shen Qing! Similarly, they didn't have to pay the breach of contract penalty for the variety show!]

Looking at her brother on the hospital bed and her adoptive mother's haggard face, Shen Qing gritted her teeth and agreed.

[I thought Shen Qing was just going to be cannon fodder on the show, only to appear in one or two episodes and be done with it, but I never expected her to become so popular!]

After Shen Qing became famous, she felt anxious and uneasy, and her management company was equally bewildered and at a loss.

[The idol they were heavily promoting, Shen Zhuo, is a complete flop, while Shen Qing, whom they wanted to eliminate in the first episode, has unexpectedly become a sensation?!]

[Shen Qing and her company felt this wouldn't work and initially planned to let the show eliminate her midway, but they didn't expect Shen Qing's fans to be so powerful. Even if Shen Qing were eliminated, they could save her by spending money!]

[Holy crap! Shen Qing, with tens of millions of fans, has no way to leave now. In the end, her fans propelled her to a high debut position!]

This is truly forcing someone into a corner; you have to admit, they're doing it anyway!

Xia Chuyue read the gossip carefully, and Shen Qing also gave a brief account of it.

"None of us, including my company and my brother, expected things to turn out this way."

"Now that I'm in a group, I absolutely can't let my fans and the audience find out I'm a girl! Otherwise, it'll all be over!"

"I have several endorsement contracts, and my family urgently needs money, so Chuyue, could you please not reveal my identity?"

Shen Qing came to find Xia Chuyue hoping that she would stop gossiping about her in her heart!

Once exposed, Shen Qingguang could be bankrupted by the breach of contract penalties for his endorsement!

Xia Chuyue sighed upon hearing this, thought for a moment, and then gave him an OK sign.

“I’m not a busybody. I don’t care about your business, and I won’t gossip about it to others.”

Xia Chuyue prefers to quietly complain and gossip, rather than spreading gossip around the streets.

Shen Qing felt this wasn't safe either, her face flushed red, and after considering it for a long time, she finally said tactfully:

"Then could you please stop complaining about me in your mind or mentioning me in your head?"

Xia Chuyue was stunned for a moment when she heard this request.

"Why?"

Can't I even occasionally grumble to myself and enjoy the gossip?

Shen Qing, quick-witted, came up with an excuse.

“I’m afraid you might accidentally say something when you’re complaining. This is too important to me; I can’t afford to make any mistakes.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyue suddenly realized and nodded.

Indeed, sometimes when I get excited, I accidentally shout out loud, and it wouldn't be good if that caused trouble for Shen Qing again.

"Okay, I promise I'll keep it a secret!"

After Xia Chuyue finished speaking, she looked up at Shen Qing and couldn't help but ask another question.

"So, you're asking me to acknowledge your family because you want to go back to the Xia family and reunite with your biological mother?"

Shen Qing has achieved his goal for this trip.

He wasn't so keen on whether or not to go back to the Xia family.

"We'll see. It's enough to know that I still have family in this world. As for the rest, let fate decide."

As Shen Qing spoke, she suddenly laughed.

"Chuyue, I know you've been bombarded with a lot of negative rumors online. As your older sister, I will definitely protect you in the industry."

Xia Chuyue was both amused and exasperated by the sudden appearance of a top-tier "brother".

"I'll keep your secret, brother!"

Xia Chuyue emphasized the word "brother" in her voice.

With her biggest crisis resolved and a younger sister to share her worries with, Shen Qing felt much more relaxed than before.

He put his arm around Xia Chuyue's shoulder and told her some gossip about the group members with a smile.

Xia Chuyue was indeed very interested. The two chatted for a while and then went back to work together.

The two of them didn't seem to think anything of it, but the viewers and fans in the live stream were completely outraged!

From the audience's perspective, all they can see is Shen Qing hugging Xia Chuyue, and then the two chatting and laughing, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

[Aaaaaah, why did Shen Qing suddenly hug Xia Chuyue?!]

[Shen Qing blushed at one point, wondering what he was doing!]

[I've thought of a possibility: do you think Shen Qing might be confessing his feelings to Xia Chuyue?]

[You know what, the moment the two of them hugged, I already knew the names for their kids!]

[I really love this couple! They're both incredibly good-looking, a real treat for the eyes!]

Shen Qing's fans were in a daze, frantically sending comments saying it was impossible and demanding that Shen Qing and Xia Chuyue come forward to explain!
