Chapter 72: Fans Surpass 30 Million

Chapter 72: Fans Surpass 30 Million

As dawn broke, golden rays, like melting honey, silently streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a warm halo over Su Jiaojiao's eyelashes.

She turned over, her fingertips unconsciously brushing against the smooth silk pillowcase. The faint scent of the white rose diffuser Gu Yanchen had given her the night before lingered in her nostrils. The moment she regained consciousness, her phone on the bedside table vibrated—it was the soft, cuddly notification from the system.

"Host, darling~ Wake up, wake up! Your musical notes have surpassed 30 million fans!"

Su Jiaojiao suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes still misty with sleepiness. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice, like two butterflies about to take flight.

She reached for her phone, and the moment she unlocked the screen...

The barrage of pop-up messages nearly crashed my phone—999+ unread messages in the fan group, an explosion of private messages in my inbox, and the pinned WeChat chat window labeled "Master Su Yue," with its little red dot glowing.

Her fingertips were faintly flushed with pink as she tapped into WeChat. Su Yue's message popped up, her tone brimming with barely concealed excitement:

"Jiaojiao! Congratulations on surpassing 30 million followers! We'll be doing a group live stream at 7:30 tonight, and your master will throw you a celebration! Also, I have some big news for you. Our Yue family is going to have a revenue competition with the Mu family, and each family will send three top streamers. You, Xingche, and Limeng will go. Get ready in advance!"

Su Jiaojiao curved her lips into a smile, her dimples sinking slightly, her voice soft and sweet, with a slight huskiness from just waking up:

"Thank you, Master. I understand. I'll be there on time tonight."

She put down her phone, stepped barefoot onto the cashmere carpet, and walked to the French windows.

The curtains were pulled open with a "whoosh".

Sunlight streamed in instantly, illuminating her loose, creamy-white silk nightgown. The hem swayed gently with her movements, revealing her slender, fair ankles.

…

At six o'clock in the afternoon, in Su Jiaojiao's private dressing room, Gu Yanchen was personally doing her makeup. This internationally renowned designer was bending over, holding an eyeshadow brush, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a rare treasure.

"Jiaojiao, let's wear peach-colored eye makeup today, it'll make you look younger."

Gu Yanchen's voice was gentle and warm, his fingertips lightly brushing the corner of her eye, a barely perceptible infatuation hidden in his eyes. His breath brushed against her ear, carrying a faint scent of cedar.

Su Jiaojiao obediently closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly:

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Yanchen."

Just then, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Lin Xingche barged in carrying a pink thermos, his amber eyes shining brightly.

"Sister! I brought you your favorite strawberry daifuku!"

He had barely finished speaking when he saw Gu Yanchen standing close to Su Jiaojiao. His face instantly darkened, and he quickly walked over, placed the thermos on the dressing table, and pulled Gu Yanchen aside.

"Brother Yan Chen, such a small thing as makeup can be handled by a makeup artist."

You should rest!

Gu Yanchen looked up, the tenderness in his eyes vanishing instantly, replaced by a faint chill:

"Xingche, I put more effort into Jiaojiao's makeup than any other makeup artist."

"I don't care!" Lin Xingche retorted, his neck stiff, like a puppy guarding its food.

"My sister is mine, stay away from her!"

A tense atmosphere instantly filled the air between them. Su Jiaojiao reluctantly opened her eyes, reached out and ruffled Lin Xingche's hair, her voice soft and sweet:

"Xingche, stop fooling around, Yanchen is helping me with my makeup."

Lin Xingche's cheeks flushed instantly, and he looked at her with a pitiful expression:

"Sister, I just want you to look at me more."

Gu Yanchen watched this scene, a barely perceptible hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes, but he still tactfully stepped aside, picked up a makeup brush, and spoke calmly:

"Okay, stop fooling around, let's get back to makeup."

Not long after, Lu Jinyuan called, his deep voice coming through the receiver with an undeniable domineering air:

"Jiaojiao, for tonight's prize pool competition, I've already had my secretary prepare a reward amount of one billion. Don't worry, the championship is definitely yours."

Su Jiaojiao sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

"Brother Jinyuan, there's no need to exaggerate like that..."

“It has to be exaggerated,” Lu Jinyuan’s voice was filled with a possessive, obsessive urge.

"My darling, you should be the most dazzling."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yi's message popped up again, his tone refined yet tinged with calculation:

"Jiaojiao, I've investigated the backgrounds of those three streamers from the Mu family. They're planning to attract viewers by giving away WeChat IDs and autographs. I've already had the PR department prepare an online army to ensure their activities are completely suppressed."

Su Jiaojiao looked at the four messages on her phone screen, and the corner of her lips twitched involuntarily.

These four big shots

They are constantly trying to make their presence felt.

At 7:15 p.m., Su Jiaojiao had just stepped into the corridor when she saw Li Meng pacing anxiously back and forth. Upon seeing her, Li Meng immediately came to greet her.

"Jiaojiao! You've finally arrived! Those three streamers from the Mu family were just backstage provoking us, saying that our Yue family has no one to rely on!"

Su Jiaojiao patted her shoulder, her voice soft yet firm:

"Don't be afraid, we're here."

Lin Xingche followed behind her, his hands in his pockets.

His youthful face was full of disdain:

"Them? They dare to compare themselves to my sister?"

At 7:30, the group broadcast started on time. Su Yue sat in the main microphone position, wearing a red cheongsam, exuding elegance.

"Welcome everyone to the Yue family's group live stream! Today is a joyous day, as our Jiaojiao has surpassed 30 million followers! Also, today the Yue family and the Mu family will have a revenue-generating competition! The rules are simple: each family will send three top streamers to broadcast in their respective dedicated live stream rooms. The team with the highest revenue within one hour wins!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the live chat exploded:

【Go, Jiaojiao!】

【My dearest Xingche! Mommy loves you!】

[The Mu family dares to try and extort us? Our Yue family is the real deal!]
