Popular Top Stream (12): Where on earth does he get the nerve to look down on Zhou Qinghao?

Qiao Qiao was quite excited last night.

He thought today he could watch Zhou Qinghao’s joke.

In the past, every time he saw Zhou Qinghao chasing after Gu Juntian, while Gu Juntian didn’t take Zhou Qinghao seriously, he would be very excited.

So what if Zhou Qinghao was more popular than him? He was still being looked down upon by others.

When he came out of the room today, he was full of anticipation, but Gu Juntian’s behavior was no different from the previous two days.

Gu Juntian still only cared about Zhou Qinghao, his presence completely absent from Gu Juntian’s eyes.

At that time, Qiao Qiao felt a bit uneasy.

But the live broadcast had already started, so he could only watch and wait.

Gu Juntian had treated him well for so many years; even if he really had fallen for someone else, he shouldn’t be too heartless towards him.

However, Gu Juntian was still very ruthless towards him.

After Gu Juntian said the five words “the son of a nanny,” Qiao Qiao’s face turned pale.

He had always been dissatisfied with his background.

Why was Gu Juntian the pride of heaven, while he was just the son of a nanny?

He was really jealous of Gu Juntian and wanted to become Gu Juntian.

He went to great lengths to hide his identity as the “nanny’s son,” relying on Gu Juntian’s attention to make those around him think he was Gu Juntian’s brother.

But now, he had been exposed.

Qiao Qiao, for a moment, didn’t dare to look at the expressions of the people around.

Qin Yanming, however, was already frozen in place.

He really liked Qiao Qiao and even considered dating him.

As a result, Joe Qiao was just the son of a nanny?

Zhao Li and Hu Bingshan were also greatly shocked. 

When they were filming the first episode of the variety show, they got to know Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao always acted like a rich second generation. Who would have thought he was just pretending?

At this moment, only Zhou Qinghao remained calm; he peeled an egg without changing his expression and placed it into Gu Juntian’s bowl.

As soon as he placed it down, he met Qiao Qiao’s resentful gaze.

Zhou Qinghao ignored Qiao Qiao, his expression as aloof as ever.

At this moment, Gu Juntian spoke up: “Qiao Qiao, we grew up together since we were little. For a long time, I really treated you like a younger brother. But you asking me for money and resources is one thing, and you always lying and deceiving me is another… I’m not your mom, I won’t always indulge you.”

“Brother…” Qiao Qiao blinked, and tears fell.

Gu Juntian said, “I told you not to call me brother.”

Qiao Qiao felt a chill run through him. At that moment, he clearly realized that Gu Juntian really didn’t love him and didn’t want to pay attention to him anymore.

If Gu Juntian was gone, what did he have left?

What was he going to do next?

Qiao Qiao subconsciously looked at Qin Yanming beside him.

Qin Yanming felt utterly humiliated, and upon meeting Qiao Qiao’s gaze, he became even more furious.

He had known Qiao Qiao for a long time, and Qiao Qiao had always pretended to be wealthy in front of him, often revealing the luxury of his home in their conversations.

Yesterday, Qiao Qiao misled him, making him think that Qiao Qiao was Gu Juntian’s half-brother.

However, all of this was a lie; he had been deceived by Qiao Qiao.

He had actually been played around by a little star!

Glancing at the live stream camera, Qin Yanming turned around and left.

He was afraid that if he didn’t leave soon, he would lose his temper on camera.

Qiao Qiao also looked at the live stream camera, hoping it would stop.

But the live stream didn’t stop.

Yesterday, the director stopped the live stream because Qin Yanming was a movie star. But today… without the identity of “Gu Juntian’s younger brother,” Qiao Qiao was just a small star.

He didn’t need to be afraid of Qiao Qiao; seeing Qiao Qiao in trouble made him very happy.

Qiao Qiao always had an air of superiority in front of him, and when he spoke to him, it felt like being scolded.

Before, he didn’t dare to offend Qiao Qiao, so he endured it and even made things easier for Qiao Qiao.

But now… he didn’t need to keep enduring.

Qiao Qiao pretended that Gu Juntian’s brother was exposed. This incident could bring huge traffic to his variety show, so why would he stop the live broadcast? He wouldn’t!

After Gu Juntian ruthlessly exposed Qiao Qiao, he continued eating breakfast.

The eggs peeled by Zhou Qinghao were really delicious!

Hu Bingshan and Zhao Li also silently ate breakfast, without saying a word.

At this moment, they couldn’t help but feel a bit schadenfreude, but they had no intention of kicking someone when they’re down.

Only Zhou Qinghao remained unaffected, using his chopsticks to pick up a bun for Gu Juntian: “This bun isn’t frozen, it’s freshly made and very tasty. You should try it.”

Gu Juntian picked it up and took a bite: “It is very good, you should eat some too.”

“Mm.” Zhou Qinghao’s eyes curved slightly.

The two were happily having breakfast, and at this time, more people were watching the live stream.

After all, those who had watched the live stream before were spreading the news—Qiao Qiao was not Gu Juntian’s brother, but the son of Gu Juntian’s nanny!

Zhou Qinghao’s fans were extremely happy: “Hahaha! Qiao Qiao’s expression is so satisfying!”

“Qiao Qiao is so disgusting, pretending to be a rich second generation!”

“Hope he quits the entertainment industry soon!”

“Don’t want to see Qiao Qiao anymore!”

“Qiao Qiao get out of the entertainment industry!”

……

Since last year, when that Xianxia drama started filming, Qiao Qiao had been clinging to Zhou Qinghao.

At first, although Zhou Qinghao’s fans were unhappy, they didn’t do anything.

But ever since they participated in this variety show… Qiao Qiao not only made Zhou Qinghao do his work on the show, but Qiao Qiao’s fans also started belittling Zhou Qinghao, saying he was currying favor with Qiao Qiao…

Their brother, why would he need to curry favor with a small star?

Zhou Qinghao’s fans had already clashed with Qiao Qiao’s fans several times, and Qiao Qiao had become a thorn in their side.

At this moment, they naturally had to mock Qiao Qiao fiercely.

The ordinary audience members were also speechless: “Movie Emperor Qin is pretending to be injured, and Qiao Qiao is pretending to be a rich second generation. These two really suit each other?”

“No wonder Gu Juntian has never treated Qiao Qiao well.”

“Previously, Gu Juntian said he loved eating zongzi, but since Qiao Qiao doesn’t eat them, they don’t have any at home… Could it be that Qiao Qiao’s mother knew her son didn’t like them, so she didn’t make any?”

“Qiao Qiao and his mother really don’t hold back.”

“So where did Qiao Qiao get all those luxury goods? Did Gu Juntian give them to him?”

……

Qiao Qiao’s fans had collectively lost their cool.

Some of them unfollowed him on the spot, some started cursing him, and others were waiting for Qiao Qiao’s response.

Various countermeasures flashed through Qiao Qiao’s mind.

He wanted to say that he and Gu Juntian had been in a relationship for several years, and only after Gu Juntian fell for someone else did he start targeting him and kicking him when he was down.

He wanted to drag Gu Juntian down with him.

But if he did that, his own career would also suffer a severe blow.

His fans might not be able to accept that their idol likes men.

Qiao Qiao looked at Gu Juntian with an innocent face: “I’ve always called you ‘brother’… You were so good to me before… I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have misjudged our relationship…”

He covered his face and left crying.

After Qiao Qiao left, Hu Bingshan couldn’t help but ask Gu Juntian, “Brother Gu, are you telling the truth?”

Gu Juntian replied, “Why would I lie to you?”

“Qiao Qiao is the son of your family’s nanny, so how come he’s so wealthy?”

Gu Juntian said, “I used to treat him like my own brother. Anything I didn’t need, I would give to him.”

“Then why did you two fall out?” Hu Bingshan asked again.

Gu Juntian gave a bitter smile and said, “I found out he is different from what I imagined. He uses my and my mom’s names to ask for resources from others, and even talks bad about others in front of me… Alright, enough about that, everyone hurry up and eat breakfast.”

After Gu Juntian finished speaking, he continued eating.

Hu Bingshan and Zhao Li were still very curious, but since Gu Juntian wouldn’t say more, they had no choice but to take a bite and glance at Gu Juntian.

At this moment, the director realized something was off.

Two guests had run away, and now only four guests are left. What should they do about the next task?

Just as the director was worrying, Qiao Qiao came out of the room.

He had just hidden in the room he shared with Qin Yanming, but was then kicked out by Qin Yanming.

Looking at Zhou Qinghao, who was happily eating buns not far away, Qiao Qiao was filled with hatred.

At this moment, the director finally stopped the live broadcast.

He had to go and communicate with Qiao Qiao and Qin Yanming.

The result of the communication was not very ideal.

Qin Yanming absolutely refused to share a room with Qiao Qiao, and his status as the young master of the Qin family left the director with no way to handle him.

In the end, the director could only go and discuss with Zhao Li and Hu Bingshan.

Hu Bingshan had always been dissatisfied with Qiao Qiao, and since he came to participate in the variety show purely for the money, he was unwilling to share a room with Qiao Qiao, but Zhao Li agreed.

Qiao Qiao’s persona had collapsed, and he was bound to have a rough time ahead. However, because of this, his popularity would be very high in the short term.

Being in the same group as him can increase exposure, and perhaps even use Qiao Qiao to highlight oneself.

Zhao Li’s presence in the variety show was not strong, but he also considered himself.

In the end, Zhao Li and Qin Yanming swapped rooms.

Although Qin Yanming pretended to be injured and didn’t work, he could still be Hu Bingshan’s son, so Hu Bingshan wouldn’t dislike him because of this.

Qin Yanming was different from Qiao Qiao. In the last episode of the variety show, Qiao Qiao kept digging pits for Zhou Qinghao.

As for Qin Yanming… although he slacked off, he had never targeted anyone.

However, Hu Bingshan was not very warm towards Qin Yanming. At his age, there was no need to stick his warm face to someone else’s cold butt.

Qin Yanming knew that Hu Bingshan had played supporting roles his whole life and had never become famous, and he was also very short on money.

He was worried that after living with Hu Bingshan, Hu Bingshan will try to curry favor with him and ask for roles.

As a result, Hu Bingshan completely ignored him…

Qin Yanming, who was suddenly being ignored, felt very unaccustomed to it.

The live stream resumed two hours later.

In the following live stream, Qin Yanming tried to talk to Gu Juntian, but Gu Juntian was equally cold to him, and even Zhou Qinghao didn’t want to pay him any attention.

After going around like this, Qin Yanming suddenly realized that the Zhou Qinghao and others he had been wary of had no intention of taking advantage of him at all.

Only Qiao Qiao was focused on getting benefits from him, so he catered to his preferences and kept circling around him.

All of this subverted Qin Yanming’s understanding.

He couldn’t help but ask Hu Bingshan, “Has Zhou Qinghao always been like this, ignoring people?”

“Yeah, he’s always been like that. His fans all say he’s a cold and aloof god, didn’t you know?”

Qin Yanming said, “Then why was he so nice to Qiao Qiao in the last episode of the variety show?”

“You mean when he helped Qiao Qiao with her chores? Maybe he just thought it wasn’t a big deal to do a bit more work, or maybe he wanted to complete the task,” Hu Bingshan said. “Actually, every time he helps Qiao Qiao, it’s always Qiao Qiao who asks first… He probably just can’t say no to people.”

Qin Yanming thought back carefully, and it really was like that.

He was misled by Qiao Qiao’s fans, which made him think that Zhou Qinghao was trying to curry favor with Qiao Qiao…

Hu Bingshan continued, “Actually, someone like Zhou Qinghao doesn’t need to curry favor with anyone. He pays several hundred million in taxes every year. And I heard he doesn’t spend much money; he invests it all wisely… Gu Juntian is a second-generation rich kid, but Zhou Qinghao has worked hard to become a first-generation rich man.”

Qin Yanming: “…” Although he was the young master of the Qin family, his family’s allowance for him in a year was at most ten million.

Before, where did he get the audacity to look down on Zhou Qinghao?
