Lin Xiaozhou only stayed here occasionally. At the dinner table, Lin Xiaozhou chatted with Zhao Yan while eating.
Zhao Yan listened patiently and occasionally asked a few questions.
As for the cute little Gu Chu, she was completely forgotten by the two of them.
Gu Chu held her bowl of rice. At this very moment, she was nothing but a third wheel.
.
What happened to her being her uncle’s favorite niece?
As expected, Lin Xiaozhou was the more important one.
After the meal, the great CEO of the Zhao family washed the dishes in the kitchen. Lin Xiaozhou picked a mandarin for Gu Chu and asked her, “Kiddo, Zhao and I are going to the mall in the afternoon. I have to attend the streamers annual meeting next Saturday and need to buy a new set of clothes. Are you coming with us? I’m worried about leaving you alone at home.”
Gu Chu pinched the mandarin piece and did not even raise her head. “I’m not going.”
She would definitely be a third wheel if he went.
Gu Chu planned to continue working on the computer in the afternoon.
Zhao Yan finished washing the dishes and tidied up briefly. He called the nanny over and asked her to take good care of Gu Chu. Zhao Yan drove off with Lin Xiaozhou.
Gu Chu leaned against the window and looked at the black luxury car that was gradually disappearing into the distance. She clicked her tongue and shook her head. Just as she was about to jump back into her room through the window with her short legs, Gu Chu’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
There was a cell phone flash across the road. It flashed gently and the grass swayed.
Gu Chu narrowed her eyes.
A candid photo?
The subject of the candid photo seemed to be Zhao Yan and Lin Xiaozhou.
Gu Chu silently jumped back into her room. She crossed her legs and sat on the chair. She tilted her head and pondered. Someone was secretly taking photos of Zhao Yan and Lin Xiaozhou. It was likely that Zhao Yan’s feelings towards Lin Xiaozhou would be found out by the Zhao family…
The Zhao family was feudal and conservative. They would never allow Zhao Yan to fall in love with a young man. They would definitely find a way to stop it.
In the original novel, when Gu Manxi was forced to marry into the Li family, the shocking scandal of the gamer Lin Xiaozhou was also exposed online. A female streamer cried and claimed that she was harassed by Lin Xiaozhou during the streamers annual meeting. She even exposed the chat records of the two of them. In the chat records, Lin Xiaozhou changed his usual energetic streamer image. His words were filthy and unsightly.
This matter was pushed by the people behind the scenes. Soon, public opinion on the internet started to explode out of control, and Lin Xiaozhou instantly became the target of public criticism. Lin Xiaozhou could not defend himself. His phone had been stolen. He was not the one who sent the obscene and vulgar harassment messages, but no one would believe him!
The live streaming company that he had signed a contract with quickly issued a termination notice, saying that they would not sign a contract with an immoral streamer. Other endorsements also terminated Lin Xiaozhou’s contract one after another. Lin Xiaozhou was facing a sky-high penalty for breaching his contract.
However, these negative public opinions could not suppress Lin Xiaozhou at all. He was smart and strong.
The last straw that truly crushed him was a brainless fan who had turned on him. He suddenly appeared and cruelly broke Lin Xiaozhou’s arm. Lin Xiaozhou could no longer play games. To a gaming enthusiast, this was a devastating blow.
Coincidentally, Zhao Yan had been deliberately arranged to go abroad on a business trip during that period of time and was unable to return to the country to help at the first opportunity. The public opinion attacks from the outside world, the broken arm, and the dark future had finally crushed the innocent Lin Xiaozhou. He ended his life in despair in the bathroom…
“The streamers annual meeting…” Gu Chu touched her smooth chin, and her bright and round eyes were deep in thought. “Uncle and Lin Xiaozhou seem to be buying clothes for the meeting today.”
Time was tight.
Gu Chu rested her chin on her hand. Seeing that Brother Xiaozhou was a good person, she decided to help him this time.
