A Wealthy Family’s Married-In Alpha Redemption On A Parenting Variety Show - Chapter 5

One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Chu Siyun had an enormous number of fans and extremely high public recognition, so the heat around the topic exploded outright.

Everyone had imagined a thousand possibilities, but none of them had thought of her.

Because Chu Siyun after her comeback was simply too powerful. Her acting skills had reached an almost supernatural level, her eye for scripts was viciously sharp, and she was one of the important figures who had brought Chinese cinema onto the international stage.

When people mentioned her, they would only think of her achievements. They basically would not think in any other direction.

Besides, she was still young, only twenty-nine. She had not reached the age where people would start calling her an older unmarried woman.

Now that the person herself had come out to respond, no one went howling under Liu Qiang’s Weibo anymore.

But beneath Chu Siyun’s Weibo, it was extremely lively.

[Damn, sis, you really are amazing.]

[The official announcement and the exposé dropping at the same time? The odds of me getting into Tsinghua are higher than this.]

[Read. The person upstairs really is a Tsinghua student. Worship.]

[This… is a little hard to accept.]

[Who cares whether you accept it or not?]

[Then wish her happiness.]

[Exactly. She’s an actress. Getting married and having a child doesn’t affect the fact that her work is incredible. Just give her your blessings.]

……

Most netizens gradually shifted from shock to acceptance, and even sent their blessings.

However, quite a few people who had started stanning Chu Siyun back when she was still a traffic star began to fall apart.

Before Chu Siyun had left the industry midway, her popularity had been extremely high. She had attracted plenty of male fans and female fans, and a great many of them were die-hard fans.

Back then, her fandom had been very strong. They had never lost when battling other fandoms.

Many fans had invested a great deal of time, energy, and even money for her sake, all just to see her get better and better. Yet she had suddenly disappeared.

At the time, fans from other fandoms who had lost to them in previous battles came to mock them: “Your fave is gone, and you’re still licking her boots?”

Many of them had originally been willing to keep believing in Chu Siyun. Ignoring everyone else’s mocking gazes, they waited in her super-topic every day.

They waited for a long, long time, but Chu Siyun still had no news. They gradually began to feel disappointed.

There was even an extreme male fan who had wanted to jump off a building at the time. It became a trending topic. After he was saved, he unstanned her and turned into an anti.

Later, a small wave of “blackening the already-retired celebrity Chu Siyun” swept across the internet.

Chu Siyun’s low-key comeback originally had not attracted much attention, but when her film was first released, it was badly attacked.

Fortunately, the quality of the work was solid enough, and in a very short time, it actually reversed its reputation despite being smeared across the entire internet.

When the film ended its run, Chu Siyun reposted the official account’s post with the caption: “I’m sorry.”

When other actors reposted the official account, their captions were all lines from their characters. Clearly, Chu Siyun’s was also supposed to be one.

But the lines other people reposted were all more than two sentences long. Only Chu Siyun’s was a mere three words.

Some people said she was making a pun with double meaning. Others said not to overinterpret it.

Although there was a lot of controversy, those three words clearly had a certain effect.

Quite a few fans who had remained silent while waiting for her fell straight back into her pit. Although they did not know what had happened back then, Sister really was so easy to chase.

Some of the people who had unstanned and turned anti also chose to reconcile with themselves and with Chu Siyun. Why keep tormenting both sides?

Later, whenever Chu Siyun Studio had a film release, it would always send generous benefits to fans.

Some fans believed this was compensation. They believed Sister had actually always remembered them, and so they became even more obsessed with Chu Siyun.

Now, because of a paparazzi exposé, Chu Siyun had directly officially announced that she had a wife and daughter. What was she doing?

Calculating the time, when she left the industry back then, she had actually gone to have a child, hadn’t she?

At that time, she was a traffic star facing massive breach-of-contract penalties from all her major partners, yet she had actually been able to pay all of them. What other reason could there be?

Someone who could directly pull a currently popular traffic star out of the entertainment industry to have a child, and who could also let an omega actress on the fandom blacklist obtain a top-tier script upon her comeback—her wife’s background was definitely not simple.

Looking at the photo, a woman was gently patting the child’s back. The child was probably drinking milk.

When this family of three was together, it was Chu Siyun’s wife coaxing the child. Chu Siyun’s methods were probably quite impressive too, to be able to keep such a “super financial backer” wrapped around her finger.

The moment these doubts appeared, and during prime internet hours no less, Weibo was directly crashed.

After it was repaired, Chu Siyun’s newer movie-fan followers began speaking up for her: Please focus on the actor’s works and do not excessively speculate about her private life. Spreading rumors and slander is illegal.

The fans who had experienced Chu Siyun’s disappearance from the entertainment industry back then were left a mess in the wind.

This…

Should they keep stanning her or not?

Some people’s minds went hot, and they started cursing: Chu Siyun, are you freaking insane? Leaving the industry to have a child? Are you purely love-brained?

After cursing, they thought about it again. After her comeback, she had joined productions nonstop and brought home Best Actress trophies from both home and abroad, one after another. Where was there any sign of being “love-brained”?

Whatever. She was still at fault. She had left the industry at the peak of her career. She had no career ambition.

But compared to after her comeback, her previous success had practically been child’s play. What kind of career peak did that count as?

They could not even curse properly. How depressing.

Fine, they might as well continue stanning her. An eight-year veteran fan of Chu Siyun was a rare species. Saying it out loud had so much face.

Some people changed their focus and scolded Chu Siyun for letting her fans down.

Someone immediately refuted them: Did she beg you to stan her? Did she beg you to do things for her or spend money on her? How exactly did she let you down? You’re just a fan, yet you want to climb onto your fave’s head. Who spoiled you like that?

The rational ones were scolded awake directly. Fandom circles were hard to mix in. From now on, they might as well peacefully be movie fans. If she had a film, they would go watch it. After all, the quality was guaranteed. If she did not have a film out, they would just watch her old movies. After all, they were comfort food for the eyes.

As for the irrational ones, not even ten oxen could drag them back, and no one cared about what those people thought either.

There was also another group of people who struck straight at the key issue.

The child was innocent, so what was going on with Chu Siyun’s alpha? Why did she not take precautions? Why did she disregard an omega’s career and directly make her go home to have a child? This was obviously disrespecting omegas and violated alpha ethics.

This kind of topic had the highest heat and caused the fiercest arguments.

Some people spoke up for them: They had a normal pregnancy and chose to give birth to the child. How exactly is that any of your business? Every single day, all you know how to do is act like the Pacific Ocean police.

Some people were filled with indignation: Once again, it’s an omega disregarding her career to have a baby. Is that how it should be? Does an omega owe someone something?

……

There were all kinds of voices. Many irrational people vented their anger on Chu Siyun’s wife, whose identity they could not dig up.

Some even went so far as to take it out on the child, saying she had been born at the wrong time and had harmed the mother who gave birth to her.

Bi Qiujun made her move, doing her best to control public opinion. But the news had been too sudden, and a considerable portion of it was difficult to control.

Especially the parts scolding Chu Siyun’s wife and child.

When Chu Siyun woke up, she was still groggy, eyes closed as she groped around on the bed.

She did not touch anything. Opening her eyes, she saw that, sure enough, only she was left.

Seeing that she was awake, a little dumpling ran to the bedside and called to her, “Mama, you’re awake?”

Chu Siyun nodded and stretched her body on the bed.

Chu Xiao said, “Mama, hurry and get up. Lunch is almost here.”

Chu Siyun found her phone and glanced at the time. It was past eleven. She had to get up and wash.

When she first sat up, she did not feel much. But the moment both feet touched the floor, she felt like her waist and legs had been ruined.

In the room, the already faint sparkling water scent had grown even fainter. Chu Siyun stroked her daughter’s head and went to the bathroom.

By the time Chu Siyun had finished washing up and was sitting at the table eating, she kept feeling as though Qin Shiyue’s gaze toward her was not right.

Although Qin Shiyue’s gaze toward her was usually not very warm either, today was especially different. It seemed to carry a hint of murderous intent.

It was strangely chilling.

Mama and Mommy were both not speaking. Today, Mommy had also specifically told her not to talk while eating, so Chu Xiao did not speak either.

The family of three ate lunch in silence.

Qin Shiyue was the first to put down her chopsticks. As she wiped her hands, she said, “We’re going back this afternoon.”

Chu Siyun’s hand paused.

Beside them, Chu Xiao was shocked when she heard this. “Mommy!”

Privately, Chu Siyun did not want them to leave. She had only just begun to have a little desire to make up for things. If they did not see each other for a month and that feeling disappeared again, how much would that hurt the child?

Her words definitely would not work on Qin Shiyue, so Chu Siyun placed her hopes on Chu Xiao.

Only for Qin Shiyue to glance lightly at Chu Xiao and call her by name: “Chu Xiao, eat properly.”

Her tone was as stern as she could make it while still carrying the affection Qin Shiyue had never heard from herself.

Chu Xiao lowered her head and poked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks.

Qin Shiyue proved she meant what she said. After lunch, she took Chu Xiao and left.

Before they left, Chu Siyun could tell that Chu Xiao wanted to get close to her, but Qin Shiyue directly picked the child up and carried her away. She was practically cold-blooded.

Chu Siyun lay on the bed in a huff.

They had gone public today. She had a proper status now. Rounding it up, that carried almost the same meaning as getting married, right? What was wrong with Qin Shiyue? Had she provoked her somehow?

So strange.

Fine, thinking back to when they got their marriage certificate, Qin Shiyue had not even smiled. During the wedding, she had been even more serious, keeping a stern face the entire time. The emcee had even covered for her by saying she must be nervous because she was getting married, which was why she had that expression.

Complete nonsense. Qin Shiyue simply had an opinion of her. And a very big one at that.

After calming down, Chu Siyun began finding excuses for Qin Shiyue again.

After going public, her actions would be restricted. Although no one could dig up any information about the identity of “Chu Siyun’s wife” for now, paper could not wrap up fire forever. For the possible outcomes in the future, Qin Shiyue and the child would have to pay attention to their words and actions.

Who could be happy after being “imprisoned”?

After Chu Siyun finished digesting her emotions, she began using her alternate account to observe the online trend.

After several hours of fermentation, she was still hanging high on the trending list. That was not strange.

There were many entries on the list, things like “Chu Siyun’s wife,” “Chu Siyun secretly married and had a daughter,” “Chu Siyun counters the paparazzi,” and so on. They were all the usual routine.

Chu Siyun clicked into the hottest one, “Chu Siyun’s wife.”

Before clicking in, she had thought it would be full of curious posts digging around about her wife. Unexpectedly, after scrolling through just two pages, she found that they were actually all curses.

No wonder. In the morning, the person who had made going public sound so easy had suddenly lost her temper at noon.

So that was how it was. Chu Siyun suddenly understood.

Who would still be in a good mood after being cursed at?

It was now past four. Qin Shiyue should be almost home, right?

As a wife, she had an obligation to ask. As a mother, she had even more of an obligation to ask.
