Before Jian Yumin appeared in Jian Yiling’s stream, he made a Weibo post and declared that he would be going to his sister’s place for dinner tonight. Very quickly, this post shot up to the top of Weibo’s hot search list and attracted the attention of countless netizens.

These posts made Jian Yiling’s live stream incredibly popular. As a result, their group became the most popular amongst the eight groups of guests.

As a result, this attracted the attention of Xu Rui. As someone who won an academy award for being the best male actor, his live stream was originally the most popular one amongst the eight groups of guests.

Xu Rui was thirty-three years old. He had sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, and exuded a strong masculine charm.

Xu Rui had debuted at the age of seventeen and throughout his career, he had acted in countless movies and TV dramas. As a result, he was widely recognized as a talented individual with both acting skills and visuals.

A few years ago, his popularity had been at an all-time high. He kept receiving advertisements and film notices. However, recently, his resources had been spread amongst the younger generation of actors and celebrities. In order to regain some of his lost popularity, he accepted the invitation of

Xu Rui asked his manager: “Are all the things on the Internet about Jian Yiling true?”

“They’re probably true,” his manager replied. Then, his manager added: “It’s best for you to not provoke her. Their group managed to get a spot on this show with money. They probably have a rather formidable backing.”

Xu Rui’s manager did not know about the details. However, he knew that the original group of guests had been changed to Jian Yiling and her fiance.

It was easy to make an assumption about what had happened.

Furthermore, throughout the live stream, Jian Yiling’s group showed off strong financial capabilities which further corroborated his suspicions.

“In terms of financial power and background, we can’t compete against them. However, in terms of marketing, promotion, and popularity, we shouldn’t lose to them right?”

Xu Rui was not foolish enough to provoke people with such financial power and background. However, he could compete with them on a level playing field by creating gimmicks to attract viewers.

“Don’t worry about it. They will only be popular for a while. Her viewer count is only high because news is reaching the top of Weibo’s hot search bar. It’s not sustainable. When everything passes, their popularity will also go down.”

Xu Rui’s manager was still confident about this.

After all, their fan base was much stronger and larger than Jian Yiling’s.

Furthermore, these fans had also stayed with them for longer.

At 4 pm, Jian Yumin and Luo Xiuen showed up at Jian Yiling’s apartment.

As a former member of a popular idol group, Jian Yumin’s popularity had always been high.

Furthermore, his fans had always been interested in learning more about Jian Yumin’s wife.

Jian Yumin had only announced that he had gotten married. Furthermore, he said that his wife is not from the entertainment industry and hoped that everyone would not interrupt their lives.

And thus, his fans did not pursue the matter any further.

They wanted to give their good luck and congratulations to Brother Minyu. They were willing to give him the space that he needed.

With Jian Yumin and Luo Xiuen’s visit, the popularity in Jian Yiling’s stream rose again. Many of Jupiter’s fans came to watch.

Most of the other eight groups relied on their own popularity.

However, Jian Yiling’s group appeared to rely on their ‘teammates’.

First of all, there was a cute little cousin called Wen Zhe.

Then, there was a ‘martial arts master’ called Jian Yiheng and a ‘female big brother’ called Jian Yichen.

And finally, even the former member of a popular idol group appeared in her stream.

[Ahhh! Brother Minyu! Long time no see! You’re as handsome and dashing as always!]

[Is this Mrs. Minyu? She’s so handsome!]

[Wow! They’re appearing together!]

[My wishes have been fulfilled! I finally get to see Brother Minyu appear with his wife!]
