Lu Wanmian blinked her bright eyes, wearing an approving expression, and said with a hint of tea-flavored slyness, “Brother, you’re right. Sister Manyin really is different from others. She’s a good girl, worthy of you spending money on her. I like her a lot too, and I respect her deeply. I’ll go work part-time at a bar tomorrow, carry bricks at a construction site, and earn money to spend on Sister Manyin.”
Lu Siyuan was quite pleased that his sister liked Yun Manyin, but the moment he heard her say she’d work part-time at a bar and carry bricks at a construction site, his expression changed.
He quickly stopped her. “Mianmian, you don’t need to earn money to spend on YinYin. Her matters aren’t your concern. Don’t go taking those part-time jobs outside.”
Lu Wanmian looked troubled. “But if I don’t work part-time, I won’t have any way to earn money.”
Only then did Lu Siyuan remember that since Lu Wanmian had returned to the Lu family, he hadn’t given her any money yet.
He immediately had Uncle Yang, the steward, bring over a black card. He handed it to Lu Wanmian. “Mianmian, this is my supplementary card—no spending limit. With this, you can buy anything you want. Don’t ever mention working part-time jobs again. The Lu family doesn’t need your little earnings.”
Lu Wanmian’s eyes lit up. This black card was exactly what she’d been waiting for. Though excited, she still acted reluctant as she took it. “Alright then, I’ll listen to you, Brother.”
Seeing how obedient his sister was, Lu Siyuan felt deeply gratified.
Half an hour later, the banquet came to an end. After seeing off the last wave of guests, Lu Siyuan thought of something and said to Lu Wanmian, “YinYin is about to start her livestream. I need to go show my support. You head back to your room and get some rest early.”
With that, without waiting for her reply, he hurried upstairs to his study.
Watching his retreating figure, Lu Wanmian silently scoffed. According to the original story, every time Yun Manyin went live, Lu Siyuan would use a burner account to support her, frantically showering her with gifts to boost her popularity.
Lu Wanmian’s lips twitched slightly. What a spendthrift. She needed to find a way to stop this behavior and cut off the money flow to that green tea bitch.
Her eyes sparkled with cunning as a plan quickly formed.
She returned to her room, pulled out her phone, and sent a message to her sworn brother from high school: [Little bro, we’ve got work. Get to the livestream room and start streaming.]
Her brother’s name was Jiang Yu, and his online handle was “Sexy Male Cockroach.” He was handsome, hardworking, and ambitious—he’d gotten into a prestigious 211 university in the capital. After starting college, he’d taken up livestreaming to pass the time. But because he didn’t know how to market himself and was too conservative, his stream numbers were dismal.
Jiang Yu quickly replied: [Sis, I’m in the middle of a game. No time to stream.]
Lu Wanmian raised an eyebrow. [What game? Get up and get hype. You go dance on stream, and I’ll give you a fat tip.]
Jiang Yu on the other end was stunned. [Aren’t you so broke you can barely afford your next meal? Where are you getting money to tip me?]
Lu Wanmian smirked. [Your sis has returned to the wealthy family. I’ve got money now.]
As her sworn brother, Jiang Yu knew about her background, and he got excited. [Whoa, you successfully reunited with your family and became a rich heiress? Congrats, congrats! Rich lady, please take me in as your kept man.]
Lu Wanmian replied magnanimously. [Isn’t that exactly what I’m doing? Get ready now and stream according to my plan.]
Jiang Yu immediately quit his game. [You got it, rich sis. I’ll do whatever you say.]
Meanwhile, on Lu Siyuan’s end—
He sat at his desk in the study, watching Yun Manyin’s livestream.
Lu Wanmian smirked. “Now that your big sister’s back in the wealthy circle, I’ve got money to burn.”
Jiang Yu, her sworn brother who knew her background, got excited. “Whoa, you’ve been recognized and become a rich heiress? Congrats, congrats! Rich lady, please take me in.”
Lu Wanmian replied grandly, “Isn’t that exactly what I’m doing? Get ready and follow my plan for the livestream.”
Jiang Yu immediately logged out of the game. “Alright, rich lady, whatever you say.”
Over at Lu Siyuan’s place.
He sat at the desk in his study, watching Yun Manyin’s livestream.
Yun Manyin was at the height of her popularity, drawing a massive audience—her livestream had 200,000 viewers online.
This session was mainly to promote her upcoming new drama and a product she endorsed.
The moment Lu Siyuan logged in with his burner account, he went on a frenzy of gift-giving.
The livestream chat erupted.
“Whoa, look, the top spender in Yun Manyin’s room is here!”
“That top spender’s got serious cash—every time Yun Manyin streams, he showers her with gifts. He’s a real tycoon.”
“I heard this tycoon also invested in Yun Manyin’s big movie. He’s a bona fide sugar daddy.”
“I wonder what the relationship between the tycoon and Yun Manyin is.”
“I heard Yun Manyin is being kept by this tycoon. Wonder if that’s true or not.”
Seeing these comments, the host got curious and couldn’t help asking Yun Manyin, “Miss Yun, you saw the comments just now. What do you think about these rumors online?”
Yun Manyin naturally knew that the top spender was Lu Siyuan’s burner account. Facing the camera, she curved her lips into an elegant smile and replied calmly, “The netizens’ guesses aren’t true. I’m not being kept by this top spender. As for our relationship, it’s just that of an actor and a fan. Maybe he supports me because he likes the dramas I act in.”
The moment Yun Manyin finished speaking, Lu Siyuan publicly clarified: “Everyone, don’t misunderstand. I’m just a die-hard fan of Ms. Yun Manyin. I simply love the characters she plays. I support her because I want her to do even better.”
With both parties clarifying, the livestream chat erupted.
“Whoa, the tycoon clarified himself—so he really is just a pure fan of Yun Manyin.”
“Yun Manyin really has endless charm, making the tycoon so obsessed with her characters.”
“It’s mainly Yun Manyin’s acting skills—she brings the characters to life, which is why fans love her.”
…
Basked in praise from the netizens, Yun Manyin curved her lips, feeling a bit smug inside.
Afterward, she chatted a bit more with the host.
To liven up the atmosphere, the host asked her to dance.
She readily agreed, slipping off her outer coat to reveal a cool strappy mini dress underneath, showing off her fair arms and long legs. Moving to the beat of the music, she launched into a sizzling dance that sent her fans into screams, instantly amping up the vibe.
Yun Manyin’s fiery dance made Lu Siyuan’s heart race, nearly giving him a nosebleed. Excited, he wanted to send her more gifts, but just then, his phone buzzed—a bank notification came through.
“Your supplementary card has been charged 16,000 yuan!”
Lu Siyuan only had one supplementary card—the black card he’d just given to Lu Wanmian. Naturally, the spender was Lu Wanmian.
Lu Siyuan swiped it away, ready to keep tipping Yun Manyin, when suddenly, a barrage of notifications flooded in.
“Your supplementary card has been charged 50,000 yuan.”
“Your supplementary card has been charged 30,000 yuan.”
“Your supplementary card has been charged 40,000 yuan.”
…
Lu Siyuan’s expression shifted slightly.
Why was the supplementary card being charged so many times at once?
Was Lu Wanmian on a crazy shopping spree, or had her card been stolen?
Forgetting about tipping, he immediately left the study and headed to Lu Wanmian’s room.
Just as he reached the door, a man’s voice drifted out from the room: “Wow, pretty lady, you’ve got so many gifts, they’re about to knock me out! Come on, come on—abs, pecs, V-line, I’ll show you all of it. As long as the gifts keep flowing, I’m yours tonight… e on, baby.”
The voice was as sleazy as it could get.
Lu Siyuan’s heart jolted.
There was a man in his sister’s room, and he was luring her into sending gifts?
