Chapter 39 Uncle, I think you're a bit strange.

Song Chi did not notice Mu Yin's admiring gaze.

Her eyes darted around.

"Hey, sir, I saw President Mu just now, but where is he now? It's strange, aren't CEOs supposed to be incredibly busy? How come he has time to deliver the surveillance footage?"

Mu Yin's breath hitched.

He hadn't expected Song Chi to be so perceptive; he thought she wouldn't overthink things.

When she asked him that question, he felt nervous for the first time in his life.

Despite this, he remained calm and said, "Chichi, you're right. He is indeed very busy. I asked a colleague to help me check the surveillance footage. He happened to be passing by and brought it over."

Song Chi was slightly surprised: "Uncle, your boss is a really good person. It's rare to find such a good boss. You should work hard for him from now on."

Mu Yin chuckled dryly.

Song Chi sensed that his smile was unnatural, and she looked at him with a somewhat inquisitive gaze.

For the first time in his life, Mu Yin felt a sense of guilt.

"Uncle, I think there's something strange about you..."

Song Chi couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about it.

Just as the atmosphere was turning somber.

Suddenly, the previously empty streets were filled with customers.

The street already had little foot traffic, but the arrival of customers instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding stall owners, who all enthusiastically hawked their wares and sold their products.

Some guests were drawn in by the delicious food.

Some customers, however, walked straight toward Song Chi's stall.

"It looks like her!"

"Remove the 'seems like,' and it really is her!"

"..."

Song Chi sensed their accusations and became somewhat wary.

Mu Yin immediately became vigilant and shielded Song Chi behind him.

"Chichi, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

This is a very gentle statement.

Upon hearing this, Song Chi felt a warm feeling in her heart, and a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

Song Chi and Mu Yin tacitly agreed that these people were there to cause them trouble.

However, the whispers from the crowd reached their ears.

"I didn't expect her to look even better in person than on the live stream!"

"Wow, is that the guy protecting her the uncle? I saw in the live stream comments that everyone's saying he's ugly and bald. They call this kind of extremely handsome guy ugly and bald? He's so incredibly handsome!"

"Xiaochi, we're your fans. We saw your live stream suddenly end. We really like your work and wanted to buy some products, so we specifically came here..."

Song Chi and Mu Yin looked at each other in bewilderment.

Song Chi understood. These people weren't there to cause trouble; they were her fans from the live stream who had come specifically to buy jewelry from her.

Mu Yin smiled and said, "Chichi, I've come to buy something from you. Please introduce me to it."

"good……"

Song Chi grinned and began to warmly welcome him.

"Welcome everyone, feel free to browse, and try on anything you like..."

Many people gathered around Song Chi's stall.

Because of the sudden surge in foot traffic, not only Song Chi's stall, but also Tang Xin's stall next door was surrounded by a lot of people. At the same time, other food stalls also had customers.

The night market is now in full swing, and the vendors are busy and happy!

...

Li Bowen lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

He still hasn't bought the two pairs of shoes he's been longing for, how could he possibly sleep!

He went to find Song Yulan.

"Mom, I've got my eye on two pairs of shoes, why don't you buy them for me?"

How much does it cost?

"Not expensive, less than three thousand for two pairs!"

"What……"

Song Yulan didn't have a proper job. The spare change she could earn came from doing housekeeping, which didn't bring in much money. Three thousand yuan was an astronomical sum for her!

"Bowen, listen to Mom. I support you buying shoes, but how about we buy some affordable ones?"

Upon hearing this, Li Bowen angrily pointed at her and said, "You old hag, you can't even come up with three thousand yuan, what kind of high principles are you trying to preach to me!"

Song Yulan was shocked: "Bowen, I'm your mother! How dare you talk to me like that!"

"I don't have a mom like you who only knows how to do housework. You're like a nanny, no, you're not even as good as a nanny, you're just a free maid, and you do it so badly, plus you're so ugly. If you go out and say you're my mom, I'll be ashamed!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yulan was heartbroken.

In this home, she was treated coldly and abused by her husband every day.

For the sake of her child, she gritted her teeth and persevered, enduring everything in silence!

Who would have thought that the child she carried for ten months would say such heartbreaking things!

Song Yulan suddenly remembered the phrase, "I will not allow anything that discriminates against my gender to be born from my crotch," which went viral online and probably describes her situation perfectly!

Song Yulan's heart ached terribly. She covered her face and sobbed, "Waaah, I'm your mother, how could you say such a thing..."

"So annoying, all you do is cry, you stupid idiot!"

Li Bowen cursed a few times in anger, then returned to his room and locked the door.

Song Yulan was heartbroken and began to question the meaning of life.

Li Bowen lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.

He recalled everything that happened at school.

His classmates all laughed at him for wearing shabby, cheap shoes. Only when he bought these two pairs of the most fashionable shoes at school would his classmates respect him!

He can't count on his mother, and his father is in detention and won't be released for another two days!

Now, his only hope lies with Song Chi.

However, Song Chi did not reply to his messages.

He was furious: "Song Chi, you bitch, you didn't even reply to my messages, just wait till I get my hands on you..."

He took out his phone, intending to contact Song Chi.

His phone's operating system popped up a news item with the hashtag #NewAnchor'XiaoChiBecameAnOvernightHit!#, which caught his attention.

The name 'Xiao Chi' made him subconsciously think of Song Chi.

"Tch, how could that bitch Song Chi become an internet celebrity and become an overnight sensation? With her looks, how could she become famous? I, Li Bowen, will write my name backwards!"

He was hurling insults and criticisms.

And the way he speaks—can you believe it? He's only a second-year junior high school student!

As he was speaking, he accidentally tapped the screen, and the news opened. In the topic, Song Chi's status during the live broadcast was screenshotted by netizens.

When Li Bowen saw her face clearly, he immediately felt like he had been slapped in the face.

He stared in astonishment, his mouth agape, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Holy crap, Song Chi has really become an internet celebrity!"

"She's become an internet celebrity, she must be making a lot of money. I can buy as many designer shoes and clothes as I want..."

Thinking of this, Li Bowen was extremely excited.

He called Song Chi.

At that time, there were many customers gathered around Song Chi's stall. She greeted them warmly and did not notice that her phone was ringing.

Li Bowen was furious when he couldn't get through to her on the phone.

"You, Song Chi, aren't you going to answer my calls? Ha, what do you think netizens will think when they see the pot-shaped photos of the newly popular internet celebrity 'Xiao Chi'..."
