Chapter 9: Mianmian to go to the Variety Show_2

Divining with copper coins is actually fine, too, since she had copper coins in her small bag. But Mom said that turtles are relatives of the Primordial Quartet Spirits' Black Tortoise, and using a turtle to divine would be the most accurate.

Elder Su nodded, "Alright."

The servant placed the turtle in a basin and brought it to the room.

Mianmian squatted by the basin, her eyes red as she talked to the turtle in a childish, milky voice, "Turtle turtle, hello, Mianmian wants to ask for your help with divination. If you do it well, I'll share some meat meat with you, is that okay?"

The Su Family watched Little Bun talk to the turtle very seriously, and felt embarrassed to disturb her, so they just stared without blinking.

After Mianmian asked the turtle, she looked up with embarrassment and asked Elder Su again, "The turtle says it wants to eat big shrimp later, the live kind, is that okay, big nephew?"

Before Elder Su could answer, Su Chenfei had already spoken, "Yes, yes, yes, feed it the big ones, I'll order them right now!"

As his voice trailed off, he earned himself a smack with a Fried Sweet Chestnut from Elder Su.

Su Chenfei, struck by his father, covered his head with a look of aggrievement.

Wasn't he just too happy seeing Little Auntie finally getting better that he forgot Little Auntie was calling for his dad? It was understandable!

Assured of the approval, Mianmian confidently took the turtle out of the water.

The turtle retracted its limbs into its shell, dripping water downwards.

After a while, when the dripping had lessened, Mianmian gently tossed the turtle onto the ground.

The turtle tumbled through the air dozens of times and safely landed on the thick children's carpet. It poked out its head, staggering as if dizzy, and actually made its way wonkily toward Su Chenfei before stopping.

Seeing the turtle stop, Mianmian's large eyes focused intensely on Su Chenfei.

Su Chenfei was startled, "What's the matter, Little Auntie?"

After looking at the turtle carefully again, Mianmian replied to Su Chenfei, "The turtle helped Mianmian figure it out, that Mianmian can save dad and mom by following you. Do you have something you need Mianmian's help with?"

Su Chenfei, thinking of the Variety Show matter, nodded, "Yes, I do want to ask Little Auntie to join me on the Variety Show, it's a week from now."

As these words came out, the other brothers of the Su Family glared at Su Chenfei.

What's this? Little Auntie hasn't stayed at home for a few days, and she's already going on a Variety Show with Su Chenfei? That's too easy for the seventh brother!

"What's a Variety Show?"

Hearing Mianmian ask, the family looked toward her, explaining the matter of the Variety Show to her all at once.

After listening, Mianmian nodded, "Then Mianmian will go, Mianmian will try hard to perform well."

Since they would be going on the Variety Show, the family discussed whether to use their financial power to hype it up and heat things up beforehand, but the eldest brother, Su Chenjin, said, "If it's built up with money, it might actually make the audience dislike it. The case with the seventh is a perfect example. Since there's talk of 'merit', those who like Little Auntie aren't ordinary people like us."

Su Chenfei had been slandered online, and at first, they thought about operating it. It started off okay, but then it backfired.

Netizens said that the Su Family relied on financial clout to bully others and marketed deliberately. Even evidence presented wasn't believed, saying that in this world, money is everything.

In the long run, Su Chenfei just said forget it, marketing was useless, everyone's stereotypes were too severe, always thinking there were underhanded dealings in everything.

If they now used the same method for Little Auntie's matter and it backfired, harming Little Auntie's image, wouldn't that just be dragging Little Auntie down with them?

After all, calculating how many people liked Little Auntie wasn't something mere mortals like them could do, it was probably the work of immortals.

At the sound of this, everyone thought it made sense.

If they used the same entertainment industry tactics for Little Auntie, and she became the kind of child pushed by capitalists as described by online comments, things might backfire badly.

So, in the end, the Su Family decided to act in a more down-to-earth manner in the future, without relying too much on their financial power.

With plans made, they decided to first coordinate with the Variety Show and to train Su Chenfei well, ensuring that this seventh young master, a stranger to worldly chores, gets some down-to-earth experience and doesn't hold the little elder back.

The name of the Variety Show was "Cute Baby's Daily Life," and when the Director received the call from Su Chenfei about bringing a little girl to join the show, he was instantly excited.

"Quick, get the PR team ready, announce Su Chenfei's group first, and emphasize that he is bringing a three-and-a-half-year-old little girl on the show."

In less than half an hour, the hardworking PR team had posted the news on the Official Blog.

The Official Blog was instantly overrun.

"Su Chenfei taking a three-year-old little girl? Is she possibly his illegitimate daughter?"

"I'm speechless, the previous hammering about Su Chenfei's underage sex must be true, Su Wanku is really shameless."

"Sister also said Su Wanku was with many women at the same time, it must be true."

Before long, the hashtag #SuChenfeiIllegitimateDaughter rose to the top of the Weibo hot search.

That same day, Su Chenfei, who was learning to braid hair for a little girl, frazzled with the effort, received a call from his good buddy, Qin Tao.

"Didn't you say you were taking a nephew on the show? Why take a girl? Don't tell me you really have an illegitimate daughter? That's not too good, man, you'll get even more flak for it."

The concern from his good buddy made Su Chenfei feel light-hearted, and looking at Mianmian by his side flipping through a picture book, he said with pride, "No worries, bro, I'll tell you the specifics when we meet in a few days. Don't worry, really, it's fine."

On the other end of the phone, Qin Tao heard Su Chenfei's breezy voice and furrowed his brows even more.

What's with Su Chenfei? He had thought that Su Chenfei would be distraught from the online slander, wanting to comfort him so he wouldn't quit the circle in a huff.

Su Chenfei absolutely couldn't quit the circle, if he did, that would be terrible for him!

But Su Chenfei's mood was so good?

Qin Tao puzzled over it, fidgeting with his pearl bracelet, and spoke gently, "Okay, I'm relieved you're in such good spirits, but this is a Live-stream, you have to be careful..."

He rambled on about many precautions.

Su Chenfei nodded with gratitude, "Thanks, buddy. I'll treat you to a meal when I get the chance!"
