The streamer is incredibly popular, and the top spender on her is vying to pamper her.

Chapter 354 Rejection

The message disappeared without a trace, and there was no response for a long time.

Jiang Zhouzhou had some guesses in her mind, but she couldn't explain them.

The relationship between the streamer and the big spender is inherently delicate. As Brother Nanfeng said, everyone is an adult and knows what they are doing.

Before you break the ice, you can pretend you don't know.

But once the facade is broken, what will become of them...?

Among so many people who support her, Xiao Dian may not have been the first to appear, but she has been the one who has been with her the longest.

Everyone else has their own things to do in real life and can't watch every live stream, but Xiao Dian has followed her and hasn't missed almost any of her live streams.

Therefore, Jiang Zhouzhou dotes on Xiao Dian more than others.

I didn't receive a reply to the message, but I did receive a WeChat video that Xiao Dian had opened.

Jiang Zhouzhou's fingertips trembled slightly as she hesitated before clicking to connect.

The boy was really good-looking. His still-youthful features gave him a clean and refreshing youthful air, but the clear angles of his brow bone and jawline also gave him a sense of maturity honed by the world.

He already had a noble appearance, and although he seemed unchanged, you could sense a touch of coldness in his demeanor even through the screen.

After the video call connected, his tone was lazy, with a hint of coquetry as usual, as he explained, "Actually, I wanted to buy it and then come find you to give you a big surprise, but when I went to find you, I couldn't, so I had to ask the people at the exhibition to help deliver it to you."

His explanation was full of loopholes.

"By the way, do you like the ring? I'd like to see you wear it."

Bright eyes peered through the screen at Jiang Zhouzhou's face, clearly indicating that she didn't want to bring up the jewelry exhibition again.

Jiang Zhouzhou knew he wanted to let it go, but...

She lowered her eyes, her calm tone revealing little emotion, "I was watching this ring from the last row of the auction hall."

Upon hearing her voice, Sheng Jingyao's expression stiffened slightly.

She was standing right behind her...

A silence fell over both sides.

Jiang Zhouzhou continued, "You know my exact location. If you want to give it to me, you can deliver it to me in person."

"Whether at the exhibition or now... you're avoiding me, or rather, avoiding something else."

She sighed softly, her voice so weak it was almost inaudible: "Let's talk! Little Dian, the last person I want to hurt is you."

Sheng Jingyao frowned slightly and was the first to give in. His gaze seemed to dart away, and he didn't dare to look directly at the phone screen again.

With her head bowed, she said in a muffled voice, "I'm just a little jealous because when I bought the ring to give to you, I saw you get into another man's car."

Even someone as proud as him can be ridiculously insecure when faced with relationship problems.

The man was more handsome than her, and they looked perfectly matched. He could affectionately touch her hair and tidy up her slightly disheveled strands. She smiled gently at him, and it was so dazzling...

He could only stand in the shadows, watching everything unfold, but dared not take a step forward.

Jiang Zhouzhou recognized who he was talking about and subconsciously explained, "That person is..."

Sheng Jingyao interrupted her, his tone urgent: "I know you two have nothing to do with each other. I misunderstood, so let's not bring this up again, okay? If you're angry, you can scold me. I was just jealous, I misunderstood, and I acted like a child."

He took all the problems upon himself.

Jiang Zhouzhou shook her head: "It's not your fault."

Being caught in the whirlpool of emotions herself, she understood Xiao Dian's feelings very well.

But she's already in enough trouble, and she really can't drag Xiao Dian into it any further.

"Little Dian has been avoiding me these past two days, there must be another reason! Actually, I'm not as good as you think... You probably favor me too much, so you've put layer upon layer of filters on me. But take off all the halos you've given me, I'm just an ordinary woman, even... a bit bad."

Her initial motivation for becoming a live streamer was to earn money and escape her difficult life circumstances.

No matter how high-sounding her words may be, the relationship between a streamer and her fans is fundamentally based on mutual benefit.

She tried to stay clear-headed, but after meeting Yin Yue, Gu Nanfeng, Zhou Xian, and others, her clarity gradually crumbled.

And now... she's not the only one caught in this mess.

"Little Dian, don't like it..."

"That's enough, stop talking."

During the video call, the boy's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was hoarse: "I already said I don't care, why do you keep talking? You're just pretending to be confused, you should just pretend you don't know anything."

Sheng Jingyao originally wanted to have someone investigate Chaomu, but when he saw his young master so preoccupied with a woman, the old butler couldn't help but investigate Jiang Zhouzhou a bit more.

She was a very beautiful girl. Even he, an old man nearing fifty who had seen countless people, had to admit that her beauty was too dazzling. No wonder she could bewitch his young master like a fool.

However, girls with no background or ability, who only possess beauty, are easily exploited by the upper class.

So when she presented Sheng Jingyao with information about her entanglements with other men, his eyes stung with pain.

She's right. He had already filtered her through layers of favoritism, so when he saw this information, he instinctively wanted to run away.

He convinced himself not to care, to pretend he knew nothing, and to deceive himself into wanting to go back to the way things were before.

However, her own words exposed his lack of concern.

Jiang Zhouzhou's eyes were also red, and she said softly, "You don't care, but I do."

"I care about you a lot, which is why I don't want to hurt you or deceive you."

"Little Dian, I can't reciprocate your feelings."
