Bao Gucheng radiated a layer of anger as he swiped open his phone screen.
On the trending topics of Weibo, usually dominated by celebrity gossip, the subject "Fake Heiress Replaces the Real Daughter" had surprisingly shot up to number nine, with a hint that it was still climbing.
Clicking in, nearly all the comnts were creatively insulting Xi Zuzi:
"From poor hills and turbulent waters co unruly people. I’ve seen this act of country folk impersonating noble heiresses to try to climb the social ladder plenty of tis."
"The Xi family already has a very talented biological daughter, who’s a violin prodigy. How shaless can this upstart countryside girl be to want to take advantage of this?"
"Taking advantage of the parents’ pain of losing a daughter early on, sneaking into the wealthy family thinking it wouldn’t be discovered? Seriously, did she think the parents and brother were all dead?"
"I’ve heard that village girl is a lunatic, claiming to be an ancestor at school and at ho every day. What ancestor? A top-tier fake ancestor?"
"Poor Xi family’s real daughter, having her place stolen by this outsider. Rumor has it that the fake heiress bullies the real daughter at school daily, even threw a bucket of manure at her. Tsk, tsk, the real daughter must have terrible luck!"
"Everyone spread the word, let that scheming faker et a bad end! Let the Xi family parents see the truth!"
Wei Yang was sweating nervously beside him: "They sound so confident, as if they had solid evidence. Could Miss Xi really not be the Xi family’s biological daughter, and is mistaken identity the case?"
Bao Gucheng’s expression was somber and silent.
Given his different social standing, he and Wei Yang saw the issue from different angles.
He was not a man easily led astray, and his first reaction was, why was a small local affair in Qingcheng trending nationwide?
His gaze skipped over the trending debate on the real vs. fake heiress, now reaching number seven.
It settled on the topic now occupying the top spot, "Genius Violinist - Eldest Daughter of the Xi Family".
Haha, such a coincidence that the trending topic slamming Xi Zuzi and the one praising Xi Ruzhu appeared simultaneously?
Bao Gucheng’s eyes turned even colder.
Before his death, Yao Dazhuang confessed that the orchestrated accident to kill Xi Zuzi was to clear obstacles for Xi Ruzhu in the Xi family.
Now that the lackey is dead, is this woman impatiently showing her hand and stepping in herself?
"There was no mistake. Zuzi girl, whether she’s truly a Xi or not, is certainly a Gu," Bao Gucheng said slowly.
Wei Yang was bewildered: "Gu family? You don’t an..."
Oh god, could it be the low-profile, scholarly and old-money family of the capital, the Gu family?
Bao Gucheng: "Her grandfather confird it personally; there can be no mistake."
Wei Yang felt a shiver, becoming more cautious at the ntion of the words Xi Zuzi.
It’s just that...
"Mr. Bo, however, the second and third brothers of the Xi family both shared that trending topic about the fake heiress, and it seems like they’re siding with Xi Ruzhu, which isn’t good for Miss Xi!"
The fake heiress topic reaching the top ten, paid internet trolls surely played a part, but the larger factor was Xi Langyue, the currently popular street dance champion, sharing that trend on his own Weibo with the caption, "My real sister is here," and tagging Xi Ruzhu!
One of Xi Langyue’s few follows, "Antique Dealer Xi Chansha," also shared the trend with the sa words, tagging Xi Ruzhu!
Xi Langyue had nearly ten million fans.
And most of them were loyal music lovers.
Seeing their idol rarely post sothing this explosive, the fans were fired up, and shared it wildly!
Bao Gucheng’s eyes grew darker: "These brothers who can’t see clearly probably haven’t been beaten enough."
Wei Yang swallowed hard, sensing the man’s punchy aura; if Xi Langyue and Xi Chansha were here, they might indeed catch a beating.
Damn, that would be sothing, not marrying the wife yet, but first beating up the brothers-in-law...
