âWang Ergou!â
When Li Xinting laid her eyes on the newcomer, her lips curled in anger.
âWhat are you doing here?â she bellowed, her indignation evident.
But instead of showing remorse, Wang Ergou sported a lecherous grin and replied, âWhat am I doing? Iâm here to see my darling. Do you have a say in that?â
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, âHey, folks! Wasting food is a sin. Thereâs so much delicious cornmeal porridge left over. And can you believe someoneâs trying to kidnap my darling, even after Iâve paid the dowry and weâre getting married tomorrow? What would you do in my shoes?â
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 Ergouâs lecherous behavior.
Words could easily be twisted.
After all, the old saying held true, âThe more you talk, the more likely you are to be wrong.â
Meanwhile, within Wang Ergouâs live stream, his followers were up in arms!.
âHoly crap! Who dares to steal Brother Gouâs wife?â
âExactly! Brother Gou should teach them a lesson, just like last time when he confronted that scrawny guy!â
âHush, donât spread rumors. That scrawny guy injured himself last time. It had nothing to do with Brother Gou!â
âRight, it was all his own doing. Had nothing to do with Brother Gou!â
âBrother Gou, need any help? Weâre on our way! Who tries to snatch Brother
Gouâs wife, who does he think he is?â
âWait⦠why does that woman in the video look so familiar?â
âUmm⦠just a glimpse, but I think I saw someone I recognize too.â
In the shaky footage, someone finally noticed the other people in the room.
âWait a minute! Itâs two people! Apart from Brother Gouâs wife, there are two women in the room. Theyâre both streamers!â
âExactly! One is the one with the big mouth! The other⦠is that Beauty?â âHoly crap! It is them! Isnât that Sister Zhou and Beauty? What are they doing there?â
âTheyâre both streamers, right? Do they know Brother Gou? Are they there to help?â
âSeems like it. But⦠somethingâs off. I sense tension in the air.â
âNo, no, this doesnât make sense! Look, Brother Gou seems to be arguing with Beauty!â
âRight! Look at Beautyâs expression, she looks furious. Sister Zhou seems angry too!â
âWhatâs going on? Didnât Brother Gou say someone was trying to steal his wife? Whoâs the guy? Where is he? And how did Sister Zhou and Beauty end up involved?â
âWell⦠I have a guess. Could it be that Sister Zhou and Beauty are the ones trying to steal Brother Gouâs wife?â
âSister Zhou and Beauty trying to steal Dog Brotherâs wife? Are you kidding?
Whatâs the point? What can they do?â
âWell, they might actually pull it off, considering the props they have.â Everyone was speechless.
âThe 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.â
âHeh, you think so? Wow! Can it be true?â
âYou guys, what are you talking about? Who are they helping steal? Who?â
âHehe, just think about where Sister Zhou and Beauty live right now. Who have they been hanging out with recently? Itâs also a man, and heâs someone Sister Zhou can help!â
âUm⦠my goodness! Is it this exciting? Brother Dao?â
âIt seems like everyoneâs on the same page. Could it be that Brother Dao wants to steal Brother Gouâs wife?â
âWait, did Brother Gou snatch Brother Daoâs wife, and now Brother Dao wants to take her back?â
âD*mn, you guys are really imaginative! Your minds are incredibly creative!â
At that moment, Wang Ergouâs 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 Daoâs 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 hadnât 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 couldnât 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.
âHehe, so youâre Sister Zhou, didnât expect to meet you in person. Iâm your fan,â 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.
âAlright, letâs go back to the topic just now. Are you planning to snatch my wife?â
âOr is one of you going to be my wife?â
âWang Ergou! You b*stard!â Li Xinting couldnât take it anymore!
She didnât care if it was a live stream or not!
âWang Ergou, Iâll tell you! Qingyue will be with me today, whether you agree or not! Thereâs no room for negotiation in this matter! Itâs just an 188,800 yuan dowry, isnât it? Iâll double it for you!â
By now, Li Xintingâs eyes were ablaze with fury. However, Wang Ergou just chuckled.
Continuing to address the livestream chat, he said, âDid 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?â
He laughed mockingly. âThatâs the âbig streamerâ you all admire so much! Iâm just a âsmall streamer,â and Iâm genuinely frightened!â
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 Xintingâs 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, heâd be in for another slap..
