Transmigrating into the Male Protagonist’s Fake Stepmother
Transmigrating into the Male Protagonist’s Fake Stepmother Chapter 19

“Hello everyone, your Susu is online again.” Su Mei said her unchanging opening line.

“Today, it seems like the weather is quite nice. It’s another delightful day.” Su Mei, with a smile on her face, said as she glanced at the 50,000+ viewer count in the livestream room.

When Su Mei didn’t have money, she always dreamed about what she would do if she ever won 5 million from a lottery someday. However, once she achieved a state of immense wealth, she found herself not knowing what to do.

So, livestreaming still remained Su Mei’s greatest support.

Only now, it was no longer a financial support, but a psychological one.

Thanks to the two forced publicity events, from being blacklisted across the internet to the announcement by the Gu Group, Su Mei’s livestream room attracted a large wave of curious onlookers and gossipers.

Although most people left after consuming the gossip, quite a few remained.

With the accumulation over the past week or two, the viewer count for Su Mei’s livestreams had managed to stabilize at around 40,000 to 50,000 daily.

Although she couldn’t compete with the so-called top streamers, with this level of popularity, Su Mei could now be considered a popular livestreamer, the kind who could make it to the homepage’s top positions.

It was unclear whether it was the Gu Group’s effort to maintain its corporate image and protect the honor of its shareholders, but ever since that day, Su Mei had rarely seen articles or comments online criticizing or smearing her name.

Even though a few sour comments would occasionally pop up in the livestream chat, Su Mei had become quite calm about it.

Hatred towards the rich is a common psychology, and she used to have the same resentment towards the wealthy herself.

If it weren’t for the legal knowledge she picked up while studying her major in college, the old her could have easily turned into an internet troll.

But now, things were just fine.

With money and time, staying at home without having to see the male or female protagonists, and just doing livestreams every day, Su Mei found this life very peaceful.

“Two days ago, I found the new avocado mint-flavored chips from LE that ‘Yoyo Loves Playing Ball’ mentioned on the local market! Let’s try it out today~”

Su Mei picked up the chips from the side table, which were said to be a limited-edition flavor popular online.

Originally, with the market’s demand no longer pressing on her and not needing to worry about making a living, Su Mei hoped to elevate the quality of her livestream content to something more sophisticated.

Unfortunately, after thinking it through, singing was a challenge.

Dancing? She lacked the professional skills.

As for performing talents, besides the basic finance knowledge she learned in university, she didn’t have any other notable skills.

Otherwise, like the other Su Mei, she could flaunt her wealth in the livestream?

Um, she was afraid of being criticized.

In the end, after thinking it over, it seemed like she could only continue being a food streamer with minimal technical skills.

However, now that Su Mei no longer had to worry about money or viewership, she certainly wasn’t going to push herself to exhaustion like before.

One bag of chips a day, chatting a bit, answering some occasional quirky questions from viewers, and an hour of livestreaming would easily pass by.

【User 2937081: Oh, the streamer actually managed to get this? I couldn’t snag it even on a certain almighty online shop before.】

【Call Me Hubby: Haha, same here as the previous commenter, hurry up and eat, I want to know what it tastes like!】

【I’m Your Long-Lost Sister: I’ve had it before. Go for it, Mrs. Gu, we’re watching you.】

……

Ever since the last livestream where her identity as the Gu Group’s former chairman’s ‘you know’ was revealed, people in the livestream chat started calling Su Mei ‘Mrs. Gu’.

At first, the name was likely used by some people to sarcastically refer to Su Mei. However, as more people began to use it, it became a widespread trend.

Su Mei had refused to be called by that title, but unfortunately, her refusal seemed to trigger a rebellious spirit among the viewers, and soon, almost everyone started calling her that.

“Long-Lost Sister, your comment makes me a bit anxious.” Su Mei replied casually to a few comments while, as expected, opening the bag of chips.

A strong scent of mint mixed with salt wafted out.

Aside from the distinctive smell, Su Mei didn’t notice anything unusual or special about the chips in the bag.

But the next moment, “Crunch—” After taking a bite of a chip, Su Mei immediately frowned.

It was truly awful.

It’s not that it was inedible, but the flavor was just exceptionally odd.

【Taoist Master Wang: How is it? What does it taste like?】

【FeiYu CP Is Irreversible: Mrs. Gu’s expression seems a bit subtle!】

【He He He: Mrs. Gu, where’s your special crystal bowl? Why didn’t you bring it out today?】

Because it was too much trouble. Su Mei usually used that bowl when eating chips during her livestreams, pouring the chips directly into it.

Today, however……

“This is too terrible. It doesn’t deserve to be in my crystal bowl.” Su Mei said honestly.

【User 232004: Hahaha, I knew it!】

【Great Blue: Now that you mention that, I’m even more curious to try it.】

【mdzz: What does it taste like?】

“Hmm, it tastes like a mixture of week-old egg yolk and toothpaste. You can imagine it yourselves.” Su Mei said, frowning as she reflected on the flavor.

【Notification: Skipping Class on an Alt Account has entered the livestream room.】

【Notification: Skipping Class on an Alt Account has sent flowers】

【Notification: Skipping Class on an Alt Account has sent a luxury yacht】

……

This Skipping Class on an Alt Account was already at the top of Su Mei’s list of big supporters, so there was a special notification upon his entry.

Seeing the usual wave of gifts from this user, Su Mei frowned slightly.

If she remembered correctly, this user was just a middle school student, right? Where did he get so much money to spend on gifts?

Su Mei had already tried to stop him several times, but unfortunately, each time, this user would arrogantly express, 【Brother isn’t short on money】, which left Su Mei at a loss.

She had a strong suspicion that this kid was using his mother’s money to send her gifts.

Uh, what should she do? She didn’t want to end up on local news, especially not on some bizarre social news website!

【Skipping Class on an Alt Account: Is that chip really that bad, Xiao Susu? Want to send it over? I’ll help you eat it.】

See, this kid’s behavior had been strange lately, and even his tone had changed dramatically!

Should she call the police?

Seeing the message, Su Mei genuinely didn’t know how to respond, so she pretended to have something in her eye and ignored it.

At the same time, at Gu Group, Ji Zixiao, holding his phone, let out a cold snort.

“Heh, she’s ignoring me?”

“Mr. Ji, do you have any questions about what I just said?”

“Hmm, what did you say?” Ji Zixiao asked, looking up.

“Mr. Ji……”

“Cough, you can’t blame me for this. It’s just that your Shareholder Su’s livestream is too interesting.”

“Shareholder Su?” Wang Qin’s face showed a hint of surprise upon hearing his words.

Su Mei doing livestreams wasn’t a secret, and he was aware of it. Aside from following CEO Gu’s instructions and the company’s standard procedures to monitor and remove negative news and comments about Su Mei regularly, he hadn’t paid much attention to her livestreams.

“Tsk, you really don’t care about your major shareholder at all, huh? Here, see for yourself.” Ji Zixiao tossed his phone to Wang Qin.

He was doing a great service by keeping an eye on this hidden danger for Gu Yancheng.

———pr

On the other side, unaware that the Skipping Class on an Alt Account user had not just changed his tone but was actually a different person, Su Mei finished her livestream and discarded the uniquely flavored chips in disgust.

Then, her phone suddenly rang, catching her by surprise.

After the unfortunate experience at the last auction, Su Mei stayed home to avoid affecting the plot and to keep her distance from the main storyline and the protagonists.

Even the invitations of the other Su Mei’s group of plastic sisters had been declined by her, and after a few refusals, aside from her adorable assistant Wu Fei, she had received very few calls lately.

“Hopefully, it’s not some real estate agent or small loan company.” Su Mei muttered to herself.

Picking up her phone, she realized it was a call from ‘Xue’ers Cat’, a fellow streamer she had met on the livestream platform.

Xue’ers Cat was also a popular streamer.

Unlike the other manipulative and shallow ones, this girl was genuine and straightforward.

After a few interactions online, their private friendship gradually developed.

“Susu, Susu!”

“What’s up? Did you encounter a rich ‘daddy’ or something?” Su Mei asked, surprised by the excitement.

“Bah, am I that superficial?” Xue’ers Cat replied with some annoyance on the other end of the phone, then added, “I’m talking about you! I got some explosive news. Want to hear it?”

“What?” Su Mei raised an eyebrow and asked calmly.

Having already experienced the ridiculousness of transmigrating into a novel and suddenly becoming extremely wealthy overnight, what else could be considered explosive?

“You know about the show 《My Life》, right?”

“Yes.”

《My Life》 was a hit variety show that was launched last year.

When Su Mei was bored before, she had watched it online. The show basically followed a few people from different professions and backgrounds, filming their lives continuously for two weeks.

The first season featured a big celebrity, an Olympic champion, a lawyer, a vice president from a certain company, and a teacher.

The show was quite realistically filmed.

“What’s going on?”

“《My Life 2》 is about to start filming. I heard that one of the guests this time will be a popular streamer, and the production team has already contacted our livestreaming platform! Wait, why aren’t you excited about this news?”

“If you could finish your sentence in one go, I might get excited.”

“Hehe, alright. According to reliable sources, the platform is planning to choose between you and Chen Jia’er.”

Chen Jia’er, the top streamer of the platform, was significantly more popular than Su Mei and Xue’ers Cat.

It would be normal for the platform to choose Chen Jia’er if they were promoting a popular streamer.

But her……

They were probably interested in the buzz surrounding her as the ‘former Mrs. Gu’.
