Chapter 127: A Wise Wife Reduces Trouble for Her Husband, She's Becoming More and More Like a Virtuous Wife

Lin Yibai narrowed her eyes and gave a sideways glance.

She knew she and that so-called internet celebrity, Xie Xinyi, had some past conflicts. But honestly, wasn’t it Xie Xinyi’s own fault for being unprofessional?

The internet celebrity was given a commercial deal worth 12,000 yuan. But not only did she not do her job properly, she even stirred up trouble?

What happened after that, everyone already knew. On her own livestream channel on Bilibili, Xie Xinyi used her platform to attack videos featuring Lin Yibai as the lead.

Thankfully, Lin Yibai didn’t rely on Bilibili fans for popularity. She thought the issue had already passed... but apparently, Xie Xinyi still wouldn’t let it go?

Right now, Xie Xinyi was livestreaming.

Lin Yibai figured, fine, if there’s something to say, then let’s say it in front of everyone.

So she walked up with a cold face and stood in front of the phone camera. But unexpectedly, Xie Xinyi quickly moved the camera away.

Lin Yibai was surprised for a second. Then she started laughing.

No wonder she’s a livestreamer. She really understands how online audiences think.

Even if a girl makes a hundred mistakes, as long as she’s cute and pretty, the fanboys will rush in to “forgive” her on behalf of the whole internet.

But this time, it wasn’t Lin Yibai who was in the wrong.

She pointed at the livestream phone and said, “Didn’t you have a lot to say about us? Didn’t you keep complaining to your viewers how awful we are? Then why won’t you turn the camera around? I have something to say to them. Are you scared?”

Hearing that, Xie Xinyi hid the camera even more carefully.

What, you think she’s a livestreamer for nothing?

Lin Yibai is so pretty, what if the viewers switch sides after seeing her? What if they start feeling sorry for her?

Truth was, Lin Yibai couldn’t even be bothered to argue. Even when she ignored everything, her haters didn’t have much to work with anymore.

To put it simply, the hate had no real reason.

Meanwhile, though the viewers couldn’t see anyone in the livestream, they could still hear everything.

Thanks to Xie Xinyi’s constant brainwashing, her audience believed Lin Yibai was some kind of scheming, evil girl.

But now that they heard her directly—

[I actually think that girl has a point. If there’s a problem, why not talk about it openly? Why won’t the streamer let her speak?]

[You fool! That’s exactly what that evil woman wants, to turn us against the streamer!]

[I’m a top-tier fan, I stand with the streamer!]

[Top-tier fan? I’m a grand-tier fan, but I still think the girl makes sense!]

[Just let them talk face to face…]

But would Xie Xinyi really dare?

No, she wouldn’t. She was scared.

And as if to back Lin Yibai up, Xia Zhilan also stepped forward.

As a mother, Xia Zhilan's feelings towards Lin Yibai today, up to this point, could be described as having risen to an unprecedented new level.

There’s an old saying, “A good wife means less trouble for her husband.” And right now, Lin Yibai really looked the part of a wise and kind wife.

If her son had gotten angry earlier and slapped that rude livestreamer, well... everyone knows what kind of mess that could have caused.

But guess what Xia Zhilan saw instead?

She saw Lin Yibai, standing firm, pulling her furious son behind her, protecting him like a wife shielding her husband.

That moved Xia Zhilan deeply. She felt incredibly happy and satisfied. And now, Lin Yibai was even speaking up for her.

That made Xia Zhilan feel, this girl not only had character, but she also had courage and maturity.

Xia Zhilan stepped forward. She didn’t like the influencer very much, so she calmly said, "Miss, don't be so sure of yourself. You said my playing isn’t good, but have you considered that since I’m standing here today, it means I was invited by your school as a guest performer?"

When Xie Xinyi heard that, she covered her mouth and giggled, then spoke mockingly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you were 'invited by our school as a special guest'? Sorry, but anyone who’s not from our school is automatically a ‘special guest,’ right? So who do you think you are, really?"

Xia Zhilan laughed in disbelief and asked back, "Are you sure you really want to say that?"

Xie Xinyi waved her hand and said loudly, "I already commented on your video before. I said your playing was bad, and I still think it's bad. In my eyes, trash will always be trash. Just because you were invited to some unknown part of the show doesn’t magically make you better."

Xia Zhilan narrowed her eyes and asked again, "What did you just say?"

Xie Xinyi went even further, "I said, you and your so-called understanding of music and your playing, it’s all just nonsense and trash!"

At this point, was there even anything left to say?

Xia Zhilan had been upset and frustrated, but now she just laughed. There’s no point in arguing with a fool.

Lin Yibai didn’t fully understand what had just happened, but she frowned and spoke unhappily.

"People climbing up a mountain should never mock those coming down. If you keep talking like that… I might just have to tear your mouth apart."

Then she looked at Xia Zhilan with a reassuring gaze, as if to say, "Don’t worry! I’ve got short hair, if we end up fighting, she won’t be able to grab anything!"

But Xia Zhilan stopped her.

There was no need to argue with someone like Xie Xinyi. Lin Yibai had already defended her so much, it was time for Xia Zhilan to stand up for her daughter-in-law too.

She pushed aside the livestreamer and said, "Why waste your time with her?"

Xie Xinyi continued laughing and made fun of them. "Alright, everyone come watch the clowns leave! Since they lost the argument, now they’re running away. Can anyone guess which section of the theater the clowns will be sitting in?"

The camera followed Lin Yibai and her group from a distance as they walked into the theater.

The venue was like most performance halls. It was divided into two main areas: inside seating and outside seating.

The inside area, of course, was for important or well-known people from the school.

So… where would those "clowns" end up sitting?

When the door to the inside section opened, Xie Xinyi was shocked.

"Wait, has our music department really fallen this low? Are we just letting anyone in through connections now?!"

So she tried to follow them in.

But security stopped her. That section had many retired officials and important guests, so the guards were strict.

Xie Xinyi got angry, waving her arms and shouting dramatically.

"Why can’t I go in?! Do you know who I am? I’m one of the school’s top students! I’m even performing on stage later as a student representative!"

The guard looked her up and down and replied impatiently. "Then go backstage."

Still angry, she pointed at Lin Yibai’s group and asked, "What about them? Why are they allowed in?"

The security guard was clearly annoyed now and said, "Because they are VIP guests. Got a problem with that?"

If it weren’t for the fact that she was holding a livestreaming phone, the guards probably would’ve kicked her out already.

But now, Xie Xinyi was completely stunned.

She watched as Lin Yibai and the others sat down in one of the best seats in the entire theater. Even the school director might not be able to get a seat like that!

Meanwhile, in her livestream chat, the top fans were flooding the comments, and the whole situation had become a massive show.

So in the end… Was she the brave influencer standing up to injustice?

Or was this actually justice being served right in front of everyone?
