"I didn’t mean anything by it," Chu Youxuan seemed somewhat helpless, as if she had placed herself in a very low position. "I... I was just asking for your opinion."
Her voice immediately sparked great anger among the netizens in the live stream. "What do you mean by asking for her opinion?"
"Does the esteemed actress Chu need to ask for her opinion?"
"Has Li Xingwan started to think of herself as the most important person?"
"To what extent must an actress humble herself like that in front of her?!"
There was also a significant portion of people defending Li Xingwan.
"Why are you all blindly stirring things up?! Xingwan hasn’t said or done anything, okay?!"
"Exactly! We even suspect that it was Chu Youxuan who did it on purpose!"
"What’s with this act of having a lower status on purpose?! Then you elicit everyone’s sympathy? Is that necessary?"
"After all, they are just together for the recording of a show!"
There were also comments that said...
"Could it be because of the recent recording, so the esteemed actress Chu is scared? Scared of offending Li Xingwan again?"
"Are all of you blind? Clearly, it’s Chu Youxuan who provokes things first every time! Is it just because our Xingwan is more capable?!"
Even Li Xingwan looked toward her, even finding it a bit funny. "We are all here to record a program. And I haven’t done anything to you, esteemed actress Chu. How has it come to the point of consulting me?"
"Ah? So... did I say something wrong?" Chu Youxuan appeared rather humble as she spoke. "Then Xingwan, don’t be angry. I just wanted to join you all, that’s all."
Li Xingwan: "...Why would I be angry?"
"Angry at me... angry at me..."
"Esteemed actress Chu, stop explaining, don’t explain to her," her fans in the live stream were frantically commenting. They couldn’t stand to see her so abject!
"We won’t quarrel with them!"
"They are deliberately alienating you!"
Soon after, it surged into the trending searches.

"Esteemed actress Chu, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?" Wu Zichun was getting annoyed.
We were originally having a good time here. What are you doing, putting on such an attitude?!
"Esteemed actress Chu, you can join us anytime if you want," Celia also spoke up from her side.
"Are you angry about you scolding Wu Kangkang?" Li Xingwan intentionally brought the topic back. "Then I indeed am angry. After all, I am a stepmother, just as you are. Yet, I have never yelled at a child, but you—you scold and threaten them.
Honestly, as a fellow mother, I am very disheartened by your behavior."
Her intention had been to stir the pot so everyone would scold Li Xingwan!
And she had turned the tables on her!
"So it turns out that Xingwan was really angry, huh?"
"Never mind about her being angry, even we are nearly furious to death!"
