“Alright, I understand. Not a kid, but a grown-up friend.”
Huh, is he trying to pacify a child?
Lu Miao’s forehead twitched, and she slapped his hand away, taking the fried chicken and milk tea from him. With a resounding “bang,” she mercilessly shut the door.
Gu Shiyan stood outside, chuckling softly to himself.
His little friend sure has a fiery temper.
Lu Miao returned to her room, put on her mask, and returned to her desk, reopening the livestream window.
Inside the livestream, the audience was amusing themselves, filling the chat with comments.
“Am I the only one who noticed that the streamer’s room seems quite luxurious?
“Oh my, look at that painting on the wall. Isn’t it Qi Baishi’s ‘Jiangshan Renjia’ from the ‘Twelve Screens of Rivers’ series?”
“I just did a search, and the authentic painting is worth 120 million! Is the one on the wall fake?”
“I’m an art major, and I showed the screenshot to my professor. He believes there’s a more than 90% chance it’s genuine!”
“Oh my, how fortunate are we that the young miss herself is personally entertaining us in the livestream! I can’t believe it!”
“I admit I spoke too loudly earlier. There’s no way the young miss would scam someone for 5,000 yuan. She’s really conscientious! By the way, young miss, do you need a housemaid?”
The chat was flooded with people offering to become Lu Miao’s housemaid.
Various gifts were also flying across the screen.
Lu Miao hadn’t anticipated that in just a brief absence, she would nearly have her personal life exposed.
That painting was a gift from the Shen family to express their gratitude. Originally, Shen Muhan had wanted to give her a bank card directly, but she declined. Later, his father personally delivered the painting to her. She couldn’t simply sell it off for cash.
However, these people in the livestream were paying incredible attention to detail.
Fortunately, she had disabled the location before going live. Otherwise, her privacy could have been breached within minutes.
“The painting was a gift, not a purchase.”
“What a wealthy family! People send gifts worth 120 million. Tears of envy are flowing!”
“Young miss, do you think it’s appropriate for this servant to serve you?”
“So, the food was brought by a housemaid? So, even the young miss eats KFC just like us regular folks. How down-to-earth!”
“I can’t possibly compare my life to the young miss’. I’ll go order the same combo right away.”
“Young miss, why don’t you take off your mask and do a mukbang?” “They’re not housemaids, they’re family,” Lu Miao explained.
If Mr Gu found out he was being mistaken for a housemaid, he might get so angry that he would acquire the platform entirely.
How would she make money if that happened?
She opened the account of the gentleman from earlier and saw that he had accepted the message, saying he would try one last time and go find the person.
“That’s it for tonight’s livestream. For those who want to see what happens next with the gentleman, you can follow my account. I’ll livestream the outcome tomorrow night.”
Lu Miao waved at the camera, bidding farewell to everyone, and then ended the livestream.
She was well aware that landing this order today was purely a stroke of luck. While people might be interested in her background and family status, they probably had mixed opinions about her business capabilities, and for now, no one would be placing any more orders.
Rather than dwelling on it, she decided to let the results speak for themselves tomorrow. Once the outcome was revealed, her credibility would naturally increase, and she wouldn’t have to worry about a shortage of clients in the future.
Lu Miao contacted customer service to have all the extra gifts refunded that the gentleman had mistakenly sent.
After calculating today’s earnings, deducting the platform’s share and adding the gifts everyone had sent, it amounted to about 5,000 yuan.
Although it wasn’t as easy as drawing a talisman to make money, at least it was a good start.
Moreover, she already had over a thousand fans. She heard the sound of a car leaving downstairs.
Did Gu Shiyan leave just like that?
Lu Miao looked at the family-sized bucket of chicken. Did he come all the way back here in the middle of the night just to bring her food?
He couldn’t be that free, right?
her feel hungry.
She took off her mask, picked up a chicken leg, and took a bite. It was crispy and tasty. She then took a sip of milk tea.
Lu Miao couldn’t help but sigh. Junk food truly brought joy!
Shen Muhan’s condition had almost recovered, requiring just one final acupuncture session.
Although he attended classes at the school every morning, Lu Miao couldn’t administer acupuncture there.
At noon the next day, when Shen Muhan was about to leave with the driver, Lu Miao told him that she would give him the final acupuncture session in the afternoon.
Upon hearing this, Su MO became curious about acupuncture and decided to accompany her to the hospital after school.
Watching the long needles being inserted into Shen Muxuan’s body without him uttering a word of pain left Su MO astonished.
After the acupuncture session, as they exited the hospital room, they hadn’t even reached the elevator.
“Miao Miao?”
A familiar voice came from the other side.
Lu Miao turned her head and saw Gu Ziheng quickly approaching from the other direction. She then remembered that Grandma Gu was also at this hospital.
Gu Ziheng had probably rushed back from the capital specifically for Grandma Gu.
“Why are you here? Is there something wrong?” Gu Ziheng asked with concern. Lu Miao replied, “No, I came to see my classmate.”
Gu Ziheng nodded. “It’s not a good time to get a taxi. Wait for me downstairs,
I’ll take you home first.”
Lu Miao pondered for a moment. “I’ll came here with my classmate first and let’s drop her off first.”
After speaking, she turned to look at Su MO standing beside her.
To her surprise, Su MO had a blank expression on her face, tilting her head back, her eyes unblinking, staring intently at Gu Ziheng.
Lu Miao couldn’t help but facepalm. How could she forget? Su MO was an ultimate fan of Gu Ziheng!
“Cough, cough, cough.”
She cleared her throat and coughed a couple of times, covering her mouth.
“This is my classmate, Su Mo.”
“Hello, Classmate Su MO,” Gu Ziheng smiled and extended his hand to Su Mo.
At this moment, Su MO’s mind had already gone blank, mechanically extending her hand and shaking his.
“Then you two wait at the entrance, and I’ll bring the car,” Gu Ziheng said. In a nearby hospital room, Grandma Gu heard Gu Ziheng calling out Lu Miao’s name outside.
She immediately got out of bed and pretended to go for a walk near the entrance, her ears perked up, listening to what Gu Ziheng and Lu Miao were saying.
After listening for a while, she didn’t hear Lu Miao mention anything about saving her on the roadside earlier.
She didn’t even mention it in front of Gu Ziheng.
A complex expression appeared on Grandma Gu’s face.
Outside in the corridor, Lu Miao took Su MO by the hand and together they took the elevator down to the ground floor.
Once they were out of the elevator and reached the hospital entrance, Su MO finally snapped out of her shock and excitement from meeting her idol.
She grabbed Lu Miao’s hand tightly and shook it vigorously, exclaiming, “Ah!!!
My idol shook hands with me! He’s so handsome! And he smiled at me! He smiled at me, oh my goodness!”
Lu Miao almost lost her balance from Su Mo’s enthusiastic shaking. Helplessly, she said, “Yeah, yeah, he’s going to personally take you home later.”
“Ah, ah, ah!!! My idol is so amazing! He’s actually going to drive me home! Sob, sob, sob, I can die without regrets in this lifetime!”
After Su Mo t s excitement subsided, she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Lu Miao with a melancholic expression.
“Boss, when and how did you meet my idol? And why haven’t you told me until now?”
