Xu He replied, “Sister Wen Man, I’m on a livestream connection.”
Wen Man’s expression was blank, her reactions several beats slow.
After a long pause, she asked, “Livestream? What is that?”
When she disappeared, the livestreaming industry hadn’t yet taken off—she truly didn’t know.
This made many people’s noses sting with emotion.
Once such a dazzling, glamorous movie star, she had been tormented into becoming like this.
Anyone would feel sorrow at the sight.
Xu He’s throat even tightened with a sob as he said, “Sister Wen Man, there are many kinds of livestreams. The one I’m connected to now is with a streamer who can understand animals. She can communicate with Yu Zhu’er, and it’s precisely because of this that we were able to rescue you.”
Yu Zhu’er understood Xu He’s words.
It rubbed against Wen Man’s body, lifted its little cat head to look up at her.
“Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow meow!”
【That’s right! Mom! It was this cat who told the human! Isn’t this cat smart!】
Wen Man looked at this cat she had personally delivered at birth, raised by her side ever since, who had accompanied her at work, accompanied her into marriage, and even until she was imprisoned, had always played such an important role in her life.
In the countless dark and hopeless days in the past, she had often wondered what had become of her cat.
Now, seeing that it still looked so beautiful, with smooth and glossy fur, her shattered heart finally felt a trace of comfort.
However, the next second, Wen Man thought of how this cat’s current state was raised by that devil Ji Chengyuan.
In an instant, her chest filled completely with hatred.
She jerked her hand up and shoved Yu Zhu’er away from her side.
That single action already drained all of her strength.
Yu Zhu’er, caught off guard, was indeed pushed a little distance away.
Although just a cat, it instantly sensed Wen Man’s disgust toward it.
This was completely different from the playful shoves she used to give in games.
Yu Zhu’er didn’t move closer again.
It only tilted its head up, gazing at Wen Man, and let out a weak “meow.”
“Meow!”
【Mom!】
“Meow meow meow!”
【Don’t you want cat anymore?】
Yu Zhu’er was utterly aggrieved.
Its round eyes were brimming with tears.
At that moment, Ruan Xingyao spoke up to Wen Man: “Wen Man, your cat has been trying to find ways to save you. It has never betrayed you.”
The sudden female voice startled Wen Man.
Uncontrollably, she shrank back, scooting herself further away, curling up even tighter.
That reaction clearly showed she was triggered.
At this moment, a police officer took away Xu He’s phone, walked to the side, and said to Ruan Xingyao:
“Expert Ruan, Wen Man’s condition still needs timely medical treatment. How about we take her away first?”
Ruan Xingyao didn’t really care — after all, the one connected with her wasn’t Wen Man anyway.
When the phone was returned to Xu He, he didn’t hang up the call.
Instead, he watched a few police officers escort Wen Man and Ji Chengyuan away before picking up Yuzhu’er and sitting down by the hot spring.
Several other police officers stayed behind to continue examining the scene.
Xu He said to Ruan Xingyao:
“Streamer Starry, if you have any questions, you can ask me directly.”
Ruan Xingyao said:
“You were the one who grabbed the lucky bag and connected with me. As long as you think the matter you wanted my help with is resolved, you can hang up the call anytime.”
Her work was about helping with small animals.
As for other matters, those were outside of her responsibility.
But as soon as she said that, the live chat started protesting:
【Don’t! Streamer Starry! You can cut a few connections today — let us watch this whole drama unfold!】
Ruan Xingyao asked:
“Does everyone agree?”
Clearly, this incident, involving Wen Man and Ji Chengyuan, Qin Dongkai and his wife, and even Wen Qing, was practically an entertainment-industry-shaking event.
At this point, no one had the mind to care about small animals anymore.
They only wanted to know why Ji Chengyuan would treat Wen Man that way.
【Streamer Starry, we beg you! Please just let us watch!】
For a moment, Ruan Xingyao truly found it hard to decide.
After all, aside from what Yuzhu’er said, everything else was Wen Man’s privacy.
She had no right to discuss it openly in the live stream.
Just as Ruan Xingyao was caught in hesitation, a new connection request popped up.
It was Wen Qing.
Ruan Xingyao stared at the screen in surprise — what was this spokesperson planning to do?
Despite her doubts, Ruan Xingyao still accepted the connection.
Soon, Wen Qing’s incomparably handsome face appeared on screen.
No wonder he was truly a top-tier superstar — every gesture carried a unique charm.
This made the face-obsessed Ruan Xingyao forget to even greet him, just staring at Wen Qing instead.
This made Ruan Xingzhuo, who was beside her, very happy.
Handsome men were good! His sister should be looking at more handsome guys!
That way, she wouldn’t be lured away by that guy Xie Lin.
However, he still secretly reminded Ruan Xingyao that this was a live stream — she couldn’t act too smitten.
Just for today’s stream, the fans of these male celebrities were terrifying.
He was really worried that if Ruan Xingyao stared at Wen Qing for even a few seconds too long, she would get scolded by Wen Qing’s fans.
Fortunately, Ruan Xingyao quickly snapped back to her senses, greeted Wen Qing, and said, “Hello.”
Wen Qing smiled and replied, “Hello, Streamer Starry.”
Ruan Xingyao asked, “May I ask, what’s the reason you applied to join the stream?”
Wen Qing said, “Since I saw everyone wanting the full story, I’m here to answer your questions and clear things up.”
Ruan Xingyao looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
Wen Qing continued, “Let me reintroduce myself — I’m Wen Man’s cousin.”
The moment those words came out, everyone was stunned.
Even Wen Qing’s own fans couldn’t help but flood the screen with question marks.
【???? Did my ears just get contaminated just now, or are they malfunctioning? How can two people who never seemed to have any connection turn out to be cousins? That’s way too ridiculous!】
【But honestly, Wen Qing and Wen Man really do look alike. I’ve thought that before. I even regretted that when Wen Qing debuted, Wen Man had already disappeared — otherwise, if those two faces appeared together, what an overwhelming visual it would have been.】
【Still, this is way too strange! I’ve never heard anything about it! Are there any Wen Man fans here? Didn’t your idol once say she had no family long ago?】
The live chat was filled with questions.
Wen Qing explained:
“Wen Man and I truly are cousins. However, my uncle — which means Manman’s father — left home thirty years ago and cut off all contact with the family.
Our grandfather was so furious back then that he forbade anyone in the family from looking for him.
For a long time, everyone even believed my uncle might have already passed away.
It wasn’t until a few years ago, when my grandfather’s health suddenly declined, that he asked us to search for my uncle, wanting to see him one last time.
It took us a long time to find any clues, but unfortunately, my uncle had already passed away.
After multiple confirmations, we determined that Manman is my cousin. But by then… she had also gone missing.”
