Chapter 144: Double Standards

Auntie Lin was busy cleaning up the new place, so she didn’t have time to cook a spread. She cooked Li An a bowl of noodles with pork slices when he got here and added two eggs.

Li An stuffed himself with the delicious bowl of noodles and was in absolute bliss.

Li Hanchen and Mu Sheng showed up at the door as Li An was finishing his last mouthful of noodles.

Li An burped before waving at Mu Sheng. “Sis-in-Law, are you back? I already ate without you.”

The moment Li An finished his sentence, he caught sight of the paper bag with Fragrance Restaurant printed on it in Li Hanchen’s hand. His eyes opened slightly wider in disbelief. “Big Bro, did you two eat at Fragrance Restaurant?”

“Uh huh.” Mu Sheng nodded. The restaurant was pretty good and suited her taste.

The sense of bliss Li An had earlier promptly got crushed.

“Big Bro, why didn’t you take me along if you were going to Fragrance Restaurant?”

His older brother had lunch at the finest restaurant the capital had to offer while he ate noodle soup at home!

Li An stood up as he spoke and wanted to take the paper bag from Li Hanchen. He had been dying to eat Fragrance Restaurant’s signature dishes, but Li Hanchen moved his hand aside. “It’s bad to overeat at night. You can have it tomorrow.”

Li An looked at Li Hanchen earnestly with his big bright eyes, but it was completely useless on Li Hanchen. Li An could only look at the bag sadly. “Fine.”

Li An finally figured it out. He was just an invisible man to his older brother. All his older brother cared about was Mu Sheng.

Mu Sheng had already gone upstairs while they chatted. Mu Sheng typically did live telecasts punctually every night unless she was busy.

Since Mu Sheng was Top Star, the operations department sent notifications throughout the platform the moment she logged on and activated the Top Star graphics. A lot of fireworks exploded in her channel when she signed in.

There were a lot of viewers on Mu Sheng’s channel. Jiang Rou’er was the ex-Top Star, but her channel was particularly quiet and a lot less popular.

[I don’t know what to say. Even though Mu cheated, he is so popular. Jiang Rou’er ought to have become the Top Star. I suspect the platform is backing Mu. Otherwise, how could he have succeeded so quickly?]

[Mu even pretended to be a woman to con the viewers into giving him gifts. I am speechless. Why does everyone like this bugger so much? Are the viewers stupid or something?]

[Mu only dares to show his hands, so we don’t even know his gender for sure. He is probably so ugly that he doesn’t dare to be seen in public.]

Now that they had started the conversation, a lot of people started wondering what gender Mu Sheng was.

Also, now that Jiang Rou’er’s fans had started the conversation going, people started criticizing Mu Sheng on her channel.

[Mu, do you dare to show your face? Just show us once and for all whether you are a guy or girl? It is simply despicable to pretend to be a woman so that you can get more gifts.]

[Did you arrange for a woman to speak on your behalf when you played with C previously? Do you dare to come clean with us?]

[What’s wrong with you? God Mu is a gamer. Jiang Rou’er gains rich fans by acting cute. Does his gender matter? Why does he have to tell you anything? Isn’t it good enough that he is a brilliant gamer?]

Even though Mu Sheng’s fans stepped up to defend Mu Sheng, the rest of the viewers couldn’t help feeling immensely curious.

After all, everyone was stunned when they heard a melodious female voice on her channel previously.

God Mu was a gaming legend, so everyone was dying to know her gender.
