Volume 1 Chapter 56: These Little Sweet Pears Are Really Silly!
Hmm…
After hanging up the phone, Gao Liang still felt a bit unsatisfied.
A smile he couldn’t hide stayed on his face as he gently put down his phone, wondering what she had gone to do. Then he quietly sat back down in his chair.
After a while, someone suddenly knocked on his bedroom door.
Gao Liang frowned slightly and called out, “Come in.”
A middle-aged man walked in, holding a file, his expression serious. When Gao Liang saw who it was, he relaxed a little, turned around, and said,
“Uncle Zhang, you’re here.”
Uncle Zhang was their family’s butler. He was honest, very capable, and most importantly—
He had come to work for the family after Gao Liang was born. He had taken care of Gao Liang since he was young and treated him very well. Gao Liang had always trusted him deeply.
Sometimes, compared to his father, Uncle Zhang felt more like the elder he was closest to.
Uncle Zhang nodded and walked over, holding out the file.
“Xiao Liang, about that matter at your school earlier…”
He handed the file to Gao Liang. Gao Liang took it, glanced through it, and frowned.
“That guy is still doing things behind the scenes?”
“Yes… He’s no longer causing trouble in obvious places like the school forum, but in private chat groups and other hidden places, there are still some accounts trying to stir things up. They’re not posted by him directly, but it looks like he gave instructions, or at least has connections to them.”
Gao Liang nodded, but still looked doubtful.
“Are you sure it’s him? There’s also a girl in our class who’s been unhappy about this whole thing.”
He naturally thought of Han Kui, but Uncle Zhang shook his head, pointed at the file, and explained,
“Some of the accounts aren’t related, just small troublemakers. But a few of them clearly belong to people who have social ties with Li Ming. They’re spreading rumors on purpose. Recently, someone has also been asking about the Gao family. I checked, it's very likely Li Ming.”
“Oh, looks like that guy still won’t accept it.”
Gao Liang let out a cold laugh.
“I knew it. Someone like him, if you don’t send him in for real, just pushing him into a corner won’t stop him. He can’t hold it in. Wants revenge, huh? Thinks I won’t notice? Heh…”
He slowly nodded.
“If it weren’t for the fact that I wanted him to post a clarification right away that day, so the rumors wouldn’t grow and hurt my friend, and because my friend is kind-hearted, I would never have been this forgiving. But if he still dares to cause trouble, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
With that, Gao Liang took out the evidence he had already prepared and handed it to Uncle Zhang.
“Uncle Zhang, please handle this. Contact the legal team and go straight to court. Send him a summons. Anyone who dares to target my family—hmph.”
Uncle Zhang nodded.
“That’s also what the master meant. Anyone who targets the family will never be let off, even if it’s just a high school student.”
Gao Liang nodded. He felt bored again afterward. The lawsuit didn’t need his involvement, but honestly, he really wanted to go to court and see Li Ming’s furious, desperate face.
Before he could finish thinking, Uncle Zhang suddenly spoke up again.
“Xiao Liang, about this matter… the master is very unhappy with you. He doesn’t really believe your explanation from before.”
Gao Liang frowned, sighed, and said, “There’s nothing I can do. Whatever he thinks, that’s what he thinks.”
“The master means that you should keep a low profile. Causing this kind of trouble is bad for the family’s image. Luckily, it didn’t grow too big this time. He asked me to remind you not to embarrass the family outside.”
“Alright, Uncle Zhang,” Gao Liang said impatiently. “I already said it, just friends, only friends. And besides, I never expected someone to secretly take photos. That’s enough. You go handle the lawsuit. I’ve got other things to do.”
“Xiao Liang… you… haven’t finished your phone call with that girl yet?”
Uncle Zhang suddenly spoke in a serious tone, clearly unhappy with Gao Liang’s attitude.
Uh…
Gao Liang froze for a moment. He realized Uncle Zhang must have heard his call with Lin Lin. He quickly shook his head, thought for a second, and used his best trick for dealing with elders.
He turned on his computer, opened a livestream, and pointed at the screen, saying,
“I’m watching a cartoon, okay? Uncle Zhang, look, look!” Gao Liang pointed at the small vampire girl on the screen. “Anime! You get it, right? I’m just watching an anime character, so don’t worry about it.”
Uncle Zhang didn’t understand at all. He stared at the flat animated character moving on the screen. After a long moment, he sighed and walked out of the room.
Gao Liang turned back. He kept the same face for a bit, then finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Yep. This method really works.
Anime, huh…
Come to think of it, the little vampire girl hasn’t streamed much these past few days.
Normally, if a new virtual streamer wants to grow, her streaming schedule is clearly too light.
Well, but Ari-chan seems to be a student. If she’s a student, then maybe it makes sense.
Today’s stream content is…
A study stream.
That’s actually pretty new.
【System message: User “Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog” has entered the livestream.】
“Ah! Good evening, Dog Bro!”
Lin Lin glanced at the chat. When she saw Dog Bro arrive, she quickly greeted him. Gao Liang put on his headphones and typed:
【Watching VTubers Makes Me a Dog: Good evening, Little Vampire.】
The girl nodded, then proudly took out her draft paper and said,
“Hmm~ Today’s stream is a study session! Let this vampire help everyone study~”
Some new viewers in the chat were confused when they heard “study stream.”
【What? Studying on stream? Ari-chan is so positive.】
【No games? No games? No games?】
【Is the streamer going to challenge super hard sixth-grade math? That’s inspiring. Don’t fail though.】
“Ahem! Today, the streamer is challenging a college entrance exam math mock test!”
Lin Lin puffed her cheeks slightly and said, “Questions are random, no answers, no cheating. I’ll solve them one by one, and explain as I go.”
“Well, even though I’m really happy that everyone likes me, I don’t want to waste your study time either, so… let’s begin!”
After that, she clicked the Start Exam button on the system screen.
The streaming software then sent a full math test paper to Lin Lin’s desktop.
When the big, bold title of the test appeared, the chat immediately filled with cries of pain.
【Help, just seeing that big black math exam title already makes me sleepy.】
【Can the streamer really do this? I already don’t know how to solve the first question.】
【First question is C!】
【What the heck, what kind of god answers that fast?】
【C my foot, even the basic concept is wrong!】
“Ara ara~”
Lin Lin smiled confidently and waved her hand.
“Little Sweet Pears, you’re really silly. But today, Ari-chan’s goal is… a perfect score!”
