I Married a Commander and Became a Galaxy Star

Chapter 143: Chapter 117: A Small Interlude Before the Broadcast

After saying goodbye to Wen Youran, Shu Yao took Xiao Juzi to Ling Yunyun’s hospital room to play for a while.

Seeing that Ling Yunyun’s condition was much better than yesterday, Xiao Juzi seemed quite relieved.

Ling Yunyun got her wish to see Ju Bao and was in high spirits. She told Zaizai many fun stories about kindergarten.

While his aunt and Xiao Juzi weren’t paying attention, Ke Dancheng quietly asked Shu Yao:

”Sister Yao, the Star Network’s livestreaming function is reopening this afternoon. Are you still going to stream today?”

”Yeah. I might be a little late.”

Shu Yao had to do some prep work in advance for the evening’s dishes.

Ke Dancheng nodded slightly.

Almost everyone was looking forward to the livestreaming function coming back online. The traffic on the Star Network tonight was bound to be impressive. No streamer would want to miss out on all the buzz.

Besides, Mrs. Bao was receiving a lot of attention right now.

Over ten million fans were waiting for her to appear on camera and cook. Her follower count was still growing at a terrifying rate.

Ke Dancheng predicted that if Shu Yao streamed tonight, her followers would easily break twenty million!

When it was time for Xiao Juzi to leave, Ling Yunyun was very reluctant to see him go. She even got out of her medical pod and walked him from her room to the hospital entrance. She watched until the little guy boarded the Flying Machine with his mom and grandma and flew far into the distance. Only then did she return to her room with Ke Dancheng, looking a little dejected.

After returning home, Shu Yao started her meal prep. The vegetables she had ordered online were quickly delivered to her door by a robot.

Knowing his mom didn’t have time for him, Xiao Juzi played quietly with his grandma outside the kitchen. Every now and then, he would run to the doorway to peek inside, as if afraid his mom might disappear.

An hour before the livestream was set to begin, Shu Yao suddenly received a message from Ke Dancheng.

”Sister Yao, did you see the blog post Lin Zhenxiang made?”

Shu Yao: ”???”

’What does a blog post from Lin Zhenxiang have to do with me?’

Rather than Lin Zhenxiang’s blog post, Shu Yao was more curious about how she had gotten past Vice District Chief Luo.

Ke Dancheng sent her a screenshot directly.

Lin Zhenxiang had posted a series of animated photos on her Star Network blog.

In the photos, she and Ling Yunyun were both wearing hospital gowns, smiling, with their shoulders almost touching, looking like they were close friends.

But that wasn’t the main point.

The most eye-catching thing in the photos was the fragrant and colorful nutritious meal in front of Ling Yunyun.

Meat and egg rolls, smoked meat, cornbread buns, and sweet red bean tangyuan.

Lin Zhenxiang had also added a caption: ”To the new friend I made in the hospital, I sincerely hope that she and her baby-to-be are both healthy and safe.”

Soon after the blog post went up, it garnered over a thousand comments.

”Whoa, those golden-yellow egg rolls have meat in them! They look so delicious!”

”And what are those round, white things? I want to eat them, but I also kind of want to squish them.”

”Our Xiangxiang’s cooking skills are getting better and better!”

”Always trying to innovate in the pursuit of refinement and deliciousness! That kind of spirit is so rare!”

”I agree with the comment above! That’s our Xiangxiang for you!”

...

The uniformity of the comment section was appalling!

The fans almost subconsciously assumed that the nutritious meal in the photos was made by Lin Zhenxiang herself, and they were all praising how much her cooking had improved.

The few odd comments wishing her a speedy recovery were quickly buried.

Despite so many people being mistaken, Lin Zhenxiang herself didn’t come out to clarify anything, silently allowing the situation to continue escalating.

Who would have thought such a minor incident would occur right before her stream.

So, was Shu Yao angry?

Seeing Lin Zhenxiang acting like a buffoon, she just found it laughable!

Soon, the robotic butler came to make an announcement.

The moment he heard a guest had arrived, Xiao Juzi’s pair of fluffy ears perked up, and the little milky bun immediately went on high alert.

”Grandma, if it’s that annoying creep, don’t open the door!”

”Okay, okay!” Shu Xin naturally indulged him.

However, it wasn’t the annoying creep, and Zaizai was actually quite disappointed.

The visitor was Ke Dancheng.

Ke Dancheng, familiar with the layout of the house, went to the kitchen, took apart the insulated lunch box, and put it in a machine to be washed and sterilized.

The kid was very observant. Seeing Shu Yao prepping her ingredients, he asked, ”Sister Yao, do you need any help?”

”No, thanks.” Shu Yao was peeling the outer layer of a large scallion.

She had just bought the scallion today, but it didn’t look very fresh. The thin outer layer was dry and tough.

Ke Dancheng couldn’t help but say, ”Sister Yao, Lin Zhenxiang is using your food to get attention. I bet she’s trying to build up some hype before her stream.”

”Heh, such a clumsy marketing tactic is easy to debunk. I wouldn’t even feel a sense of accomplishment taking her down.” Shu Yao then asked, ”Wasn’t she being investigated by your uncle? Is it over already?”

Ke Dancheng blankly pushed up his glasses, his expression darkening. ”I find it strange, too... Sister Yao, do you know about the Austin family?”
