"There's one spot left. Let's start the draw."
Gu Yu's hands trembled slightly. He had already switched his phone to airplane mode, knowing full well that once the trending news broke, the entire company would be thrown into chaos.
He was, after all, likely the first person in the entertainment industry to publicly report someone by name—and worse, send a fellow artist from the same company to jail.
But he wasn't afraid of repercussions. As the son of the wealthiest family in the capital, few investors dared to openly challenge the Gu family. Even the backers of Kong Zhao wouldn't dare retaliate against him directly.
What truly worried him, however, was the despairing and furious face of his manager.
Still, it was done now. Reporting a man who slept with an underage girl was justified. He had no reason to fear.
Yāo Yāo noticed her older brother's tension. She extended her chubby little hand, placing it in his palm, and said sweetly, "Big Brother, don't worry. Yāo Yāo will protect you."
If anyone dared to retaliate against her big brother, she'd flatten them with a single punch.
Seeing his little sister's earnest and concerned gaze, Gu Yu decided not to burden her with the complexities of human nature. He simply nodded and replied, "Alright."
The netizens were practically rolling on the floor laughing at the siblings' exchange.
[This is something only a young master like him could pull off. If anyone else tried, they'd probably vanish from the entertainment industry entirely.]
[To be honest, the entertainment industry needs someone brave enough to speak the truth. I fully support this young master.]
Outsiders often found the "rules" of the entertainment world infuriating, but there was little they could do when faced with the overwhelming power of capital. They knew better than to speak up.
Now, with a young master backed by immense wealth stepping forward, the drama was bound to escalate. Within moments, Gu Yu's fanbase skyrocketed, breaking through the 500,000 follower mark.
But Gu Yu paid no attention to these numbers. When he saw the nickname of the chosen participant, he breathed a sigh of relief—it didn't seem to belong to anyone from the entertainment circle.
After all, sending two colleagues to jail in one day would raise eyebrows. People might start questioning whether it was mere coincidence or if he was deliberately causing trouble.
"Hello, Little Master! Never thought an old lady like me would join in on the fun with you youngsters."
The selected participant turned out to be a middle-aged woman. Around her neck hung a pendant made of imperial yellow jade, and her earrings were crafted from emerald. Her entire demeanor screamed wealthy socialite.
[How embarrassing! Losing to young people is one thing, but even losing to an auntie?]
[What's embarrassing about that? Did you miss the fact that she's using the top-of-the-line Mate 60 Pro with real 5G speed? That's leagues above our 4G.]
[Wow, now I'm even more depressed. Not only are we unlucky, but our devices suck too. Truly heartbreaking.]
"Hello, Auntie!" Yāo Yāo quickly adapted, calling out sweetly. Her adorable, cherubic face made the woman's eyes crinkle into crescent moons as she smiled.
Then, unexpectedly, the participant suddenly gifted a virtual Dream Castle—worth thousands of yuan—right in the live stream. This move stunned not only the audience but even Yāo Yāo herself.
It was the first time in all their broadcasts that someone had directly tipped such a lavish gift.
"Big Brother, what should we do?" Yāo Yāo instinctively turned to Gu Yu, her small face clouded with confusion.
She remembered him mentioning that the castle cost thousands. But she hadn't mentioned anything about charging for fortune-telling during the stream!
"Little Master, just accept it. It's not payment for the reading—it's purely because I like you. Think of it as buying toys and snacks for you. You wouldn't refuse your auntie, would you?"
Seeing how sincere the participant sounded, Gu Yu nodded, signaling for Yāo Yāo to accept.
Only then did Yāo Yāo turn back and say softly, "Thank you."
The viewers in the live stream, forced to witness such extravagant generosity, were green with envy.
"Auntie, do you have anything specific you'd like me to read?" Yāo Yāo asked, following the usual procedure.
"I don't have anything to ask for myself. Could you read my son's fortune instead? He's graduating from university soon, and his father wants him to pursue graduate studies abroad."
"But I don't think he has any interest in that. Could Little Master check if he has the fate for further education? If not, I can prepare my husband ahead of time to avoid arguments between them."
The participant didn't seem particularly concerned. With multiple family businesses, she personally preferred her son to join the company after graduation, find a partner, and settle down.
After all, he was the family's only heir. Sending him abroad meant seeing him only a few times a year. Moreover, her son clearly wasn't academically inclined. Back when he applied for university, his grades fell short, and it was only through a generous donation to the school—a whole teaching building—that he was accepted.
"In that case, please send my big brother a photo of your son." Yāo Yāo nodded, indicating agreement.
The participant quickly sent over a picture. The young man in the photo was tall—around 180 cm—with a prominent nose and gentle phoenix eyes that bore a resemblance to the participant. His appearance radiated confidence and vitality.
Since the question pertained to academic advancement, Yāo Yāo naturally focused on the individual's Career Palace first.
There were no Wenqu or Wenchang stars present in his palace, indicating that he lacked the destiny for further education. Not only did he lack ambition, but even if he tried, success in exams wasn't guaranteed.
Yāo Yāo was about to relay this result when her gaze inadvertently shifted to the Marriage Palace. Suddenly, she froze.
The participant's son had a marital curse tied to his Life Palace—a sign that his destined partner had appeared. However, upon closer inspection, Yāo Yāo discovered that this destined partner carried a calamity, one that also connected to the son. She began recalculating immediately.
The participant clearly adored her son. If it were a minor misfortune, Yāo Yāo might overlook it. But if it were significant, she felt obligated to intervene—even if it meant accepting the gift as compensation for warding off disaster. Yet, as she delved deeper into the calculations, Yāo Yāo's expression suddenly turned cold.
[Oh no, that look again! Something bad is definitely coming!]
[This live stream is cursed, especially when it comes to reading fortunes for others. Remember the last person who got their fortune read? Their main character just went to jail!]
[We haven't seen the rich lady's son, but she doesn't look bad. Her son probably isn't ugly either. Surely he's not a jerk?]
"My Xiao Cong is a good boy. He wouldn't mess around outside," the participant retorted, clearly offended by the comments.
She wasn't being arrogant—her household maintained strict discipline, especially regarding relationships. She explicitly forbade her son from dating multiple people simultaneously.
If she ever found out otherwise, she'd break his legs herself before anyone else could criticize him.
[Rich lady, you might not know this, but kids these days have minds of their own. University life offers so much freedom—it's hard to guarantee anything.]
Seeing the participant's confidence, the netizens couldn't help but warn her preemptively. This left the participant feeling uneasy. She wanted to argue back but feared being proven wrong by Yāo Yāo's calculations.
Just as the atmosphere grew unbearably awkward, Yāo Yāo finally spoke—but this time, she sided with the participant.
"Everyone, stop arguing. Auntie isn't wrong. Big Brother isn't the type to date multiple people at once."
Her words instantly relieved the participant. After all, if her son turned out to be a scoundrel, she'd feel like she'd failed not only her husband but also her own upbringing.
However, before she could fully relax, Yāo Yāo's crisp voice rang out once more.
"Although Big Brother isn't dating multiple people, he does have a girlfriend. They've been together for nearly four years and are each other's destined partners."
"And... they've decided to give their firsts to each other!"
