Su Zhan was walking slowly down the mountain humming a little tune in the drizzle, but he saw a lot of people coming towards him. Normally, there would be few people going up the mountain at this time. When he was stunned, he heard Song Li's familiar voice.

"Wife!" He quickened his pace and ran down.

The security team and the Su family's servants were relieved when they saw Su Zhan appear, and they all retreated. Su Jinli and Li Yanchen continued to walk up.

Song Li ran to Su Zhan, her emotions mixed: worry, blame, and heartache. "Why didn't you tell your family you were coming up the mountain? Why is your phone turned off?"

Su Zhan was slightly stunned, "My phone is turned off?"

I hurriedly took out my cell phone to check, only to find that it had run out of battery and had automatically turned off.

Song Li punched her husband's shoulders twice. "You scared me and Lili, you know that!"

How could Song Li not know that her husband was sensitive and weak in character? Many times, she would take care of Su Zhan's emotions and try her best to give her husband a sense of security when talking, doing things, and handling the affairs of the two families.

The couple has been together for more than 20 years. The woman is the breadwinner and the man is the homemaker. They have endured a lot of criticism. Song Li feels that she owes Su Zhan. He sacrificed his career for the development of the Song Group and was willing to be the man behind her. Therefore, when Su Zhan failed in investment many times and even got involved in a Ponzi scheme, Song Li never blamed him.

Today, Song Li was really scared. She was worried that her fragile husband could not withstand the overwhelming questioning on the Internet and that he would do something to his discontent.

Su Zhan hugged Song Li's shoulders tightly, "I'm sorry, honey. I'm really sorry. I suddenly wanted to find an open space to practice my voice, but I didn't notice that my phone was out of battery. It was raining today and I couldn't see the time, so I sang for a while longer..."

Seeing that the family was reunited safely, everyone turned around and went down the mountain. The servants went home to prepare dinner. Only Song Li, Su Zhan, Su Jinli and Li Yanchen remained there.

Su Zhan took off his coat and covered his wife's head with it. "Go home quickly, it's going to rain heavily soon."

Song Li refused to move and asked him, "Are you in a bad mood after reading those online rumors that Lili hired online to hype you up?"

Su Zhan took a deep breath and said, "Yes. When I first saw that statement, I was really upset and started to doubt myself. Maybe people don't like listening to my singing, and the people who listen to my songs in the live broadcast room every day are actually actors..."

Su Jinli took off her suit jacket and walked to her father, with Li Yanchen following behind her.

"I was feeling down, so I decided to go for a walk alone..." Su Zhan looked at Su Jinli and said, "I ended up here before I knew it. After singing a few songs on the mountain, I felt refreshed and everything seemed to have changed."

Su Zhan said with a bit of excitement, "My daughter spent money to let me enjoy the attention. She is filial! What's shameful about it? I didn't break the law and I didn't let anyone down. Why should I be embarrassed?"

"Dad, you're right to think so." Su Jinli stuffed her coat into Li Yanchen's hands and walked over to Su Zhan. "Think back to me, your daughter. I spent millions hiring online influencers and buying trending searches, but the results were minimal. Now look at you. I only spent a fraction of that to boost the popularity of your livestream. This proves that my dad is indeed talented in singing. The online influencer package has expired. The people online these days are all real fans."

"Really, daughter?"

After listening to Su Jinli's explanation, Su Zhan felt more clear-headed.

Li Yanchen raised his coat again to block Su Jinli's head, "Uncle and Auntie, it's going to rain heavily soon, let's go down the mountain first."

The four of them then turned around and walked down the mountain.

Su Zhan and Song Li walked in front, the couple hugged each other tightly, Su Zhan put his arm around Song Li's shoulders, and Song Li put her arms around her husband's waist.

"Be careful, honey, the steps are slippery."

"Just be careful. I won't fall as long as you're with me."

"Don't worry, honey. I won't let you fall. It's no problem for me to carry you around."

The two of them just started to get tired of each other...

Su Jinli held up Li Yanchen's clothes with both hands while Li Yanchen walked in the rain in a thin shirt. The two of them watched the two people in front of them being affectionate and felt awkward.

So Su Jinli coughed lightly twice.

However, Su Zhan and Song Li hugged each other even tighter, as if deliberately setting an example for the two young people behind them. Su Zhan said, "On such a dangerous downhill road, men and women should support each other, right, honey?"

"Yes."

Su Jinli glanced at her parents coldly, turned around and wanted to return the clothes to Li Yanchen, but was rejected by Li Yanchen.

After returning home, the four of them entered the living room. Before they had time to change their clothes, Su Jinli asked, "Dad, where did you hear about me hiring a cyber army?"

"It was your second aunt who told me. Your second aunt is very knowledgeable. Not long after she finished speaking, the news appeared on the Internet."

Su Jinli sat on the sofa, and the servants brought dry towels and hot tea and other drinks. Song Li picked up the towel to wipe Su Zhan's face, and Li Yanchen also wiped his wet hair. Only Su Jinli crossed her arms and thought motionlessly.

"Second Aunt...how could she know...it must be Lu Yao who knew..."

It was obvious that Lu Yao had deliberately revealed the matter to Su Changhong, asking her to tell Su Zhan. Both mother and daughter understood Su Zhan's personality and knew that his self-confidence could easily collapse, so they tried to use this method to undermine the confidence that Su Zhan had built up through live broadcasts during this period.

If the situation is serious, it may even cause Su Zhan to give up the live broadcast directly!

"Okay, let's move up the schedule." Su Jinli looked up at her father. "The venue and equipment are almost ready. I was planning to improve them a little bit. Let's start rehearsing tomorrow."

Su Zhan and Song Li didn't understand what their daughter was saying, only Li Yanchen understood.

Su Changhong returned home with a bunch of shopping bags and saw her daughter sitting on the sofa in the living room playing with her mobile phone.

"Mom, have you called your uncle and told him?"

"I told him." Su Changhong put down what he was holding.

Lu Yao asked, "What was his reaction?"

"I didn't feel any reaction from him on the phone at the time," Su Changhong recalled seriously, "I just said he knew."

However, Lu Yao was not in a hurry. He lowered his head and continued to look through his phone. He guessed that based on his uncle's personality, it would definitely be a big blow for him to know that the popularity of his live broadcast room was all faked by the internet trolls.

As I was scrolling through the pages, I saw a few tweets from marketing accounts:

[Su Jinli hired a group of online trolls to make her father's livestream popular. Netizens praised her filial piety and said it was not shameful.]

[A mama's girl personally planned to make her father famous and helped him achieve his career dream. What a good daughter in China]

Lu Yao's expression became more and more solemn.

There is more important news in the future, Su Jinli posted on Weibo:

[Not only did I hire online influencers to make my dad's livestream popular, I will also be hosting a solo concert for him in two months. The venue, stage design, and orchestra have already been signed.]

"Solo concert!" Lu Yao was so shocked that he almost threw his phone away.
