Bringing the Little Crown Prince on a Parenting Reality Show — I'm Cleared of All Scandals!-Chapter 23: The Young Prince Gets Slandered

After a tiring day, Mu Ran lay on the recliner eating chips and drinking cola, arguably the most relaxed person in the family.

"Auntie, it’s time to sleep."

"It’s still early." Mu Ran just checked the time, it was only a little past ten, how could she sleep? She only slept early last night because she hadn’t slept the night before.

Persuaded by Xiao Jin, Mu Ran not only didn’t go to sleep but also picked up a chip and held it to his mouth, coaxing, "Want one? This is really delicious."

"No!" Chu Xijin refused.

At home, his aunt said the same thing, and after he ate one, he thought it tasted weird.

Mu Ran clicked her tongue, "How could there be people in the world who don’t like eating chips?"

[Exactly!]

[I really don’t like chips and love spicy sticks instead.]

[Haha, it seems Director Mu has really let loose, from being embarrassed about drinking Wangzai milk to fearing nothing at all.]

...

Mu Ran told Chu Xijin to go to bed first.

She lay in the courtyard...

Then she and the camera guy exchanged glances, both covered in mosquito bites, Mu Ran was about to break down: "Yang Yingying, get out here and find me something for the mosquitoes quickly."

Yang Yingying pretended not to hear.

The bullet screen was going crazy with laughter.

Everyone just loves seeing Director Mu in an awkward situation, it’s really delightful.

Mu Ran looked at the bag of chips and slapped it, "It’s all your fault, otherwise I’d have money to buy mosquito coils now."

[Chips: What did I do wrong?]

[Everything in the world is wrong, except herself, that’s Director Mu’s principle, right?]

[Hahaha, that’s just like how I act when I’m losing it.]

...

Mu Ran resignedly went to bed, finding some Fengyoujing before sleeping.

This was originally prepared for Xiao Jin, afraid he’d get carsick on his first ride.

But the little guy adapted well.

So now it came in handy for her!

Mu Ran applied it on all the bites on her body, handed the Fengyoujing to the camera guy, then turned off the light to sleep.

Just as they gradually fell asleep, an online attack against Chu Xijin began.

Marketing accounts mainly edited clips of Chu Xijin currying favor with the audience and the kids.

They also analyzed with captions that this was a persona created by capital, portraying him as a flawless young prince.

Especially in contrast with Mu Ran, his perfection made the child appear even cuter and more lovable.

But——

Chu Xijin is a child of capital, and he’s only here to make money.

Online, at first, people didn’t believe it, but later marketing accounts edited some of the child’s eye expressions for deeper interpretation.

Gradually leading people to believe.

Chu Xijin is a new type of money-laundering tool promoted by capital!!!

From behind the scenes, Wu Jiaquan leaned on his computer chair, feet propped on the desk, his toes tapping, smiling wickedly and contentedly.

Didn’t Mu Ran think he was useless?

Then let Director Mu see the power of being useless!!!

Yesterday, he happened to win a big sum at the gambling tables; the opponent worked in marketing, and they even became brothers, so he gave up the money just to make sure Mu Ran wouldn’t be happy!

As a result, that brother said, smearing Chu Xijin would be more effective than smearing Mu Ran.

Because looking at the online situation, it was obvious before when Mu Ran was scolded all over the internet, she just went about her business, appearing arrogant as ever during appearances.

But.

Chu Xijin is different.

Since this child appeared online, even if there were some negative comments, they were quickly cleaned up, and behind it all is Mu Ran’s studio, indicating this child is of importance to Mu Ran.

Otherwise, with Mu Ran’s stingy nature, she wouldn’t spend a penny to clear her own name!!

Wu Jiaquan thought his brother made sense, so he followed his advice, having blogs write articles, marketing accounts post videos, filling various apps with negative content about Chu Xijin, including plenty of photoshopped ones.

In fact, many netizens are too lazy to delve deep, generally, as long as the images are in place, the music is spot on, the commentary matches, and most importantly, the comment section discussion is heated!

Then this person would be badly defamed.

[I knew it, what decent relatives could someone like Mu Ran have, they’re all birds of a feather, just lousy people!]

[Haha, making money in the entertainment industry is easy, just cash in, this afternoon he even acted so interested in rural life, it’s really laughable, would such a rich family’s son be interested in rural life, does he know what rural is, has he ever been there, has he ever seen it?]

[Honestly, when I heard him say that, I felt really disgusted, a child must have been filled with lots of pretentious ideas by his parents to say something like that!]

[Even dressed in ancient costume, calling himself a young prince, really thinks he’s the Crown Prince, disgusting!]

[There are already videos pairing young prince with Lin Wen Yu’s sister, and young prince with Mao Xiaomiao, even Pig Hero and Zhu Bajie, in the entertainment circle, the quickest way to make money is to stir up CP (coupling), then refining CP fans, to gain higher popularity, Director Mu is really Director Mu, truly knows how to make money!]

[No goodwill towards the aunt and nephew pair, utterly revolting, don’t know why, someone who scared a little girl to tears, making her have nightmares for a whole week, what qualifies them to bring a child to the reality show, and now they claim to heal the soul? Laughable.]

...

The digital trolls are unbeatable!

Wu Jiaquan awaited patiently for what expression Mu Ran would have when she found out, given Mu Ran’s studio could handle some small haters, but such a big issue, surely they couldn’t manage it.

Remember that Mu Ran said, "I won’t explain all the things I do, people with no clarity don’t deserve."

Utterly arrogant.

Now let’s see how she will deal with it?

*

On the last day of the reality show, Mu Ran and everyone else went to the botanical garden, today’s activity was flying kites!

While the adults prepared food, they also needed to pick fruits.

Mu Ran had a sullen face.

Netizens were delighted.

They just like seeing her unhappy, especially when she’s displeased while working, there’s an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

The morning quickly passed, and the guests had to return, several kids promised each other to call on their smartwatches.

Zhu Wenzhen boasted to his little friends before leaving: "If you ever get bored, come find me to play, I’ll cover all travel expenses, make sure you eat well, have fun, and I have a big warehouse, take whatever you want."

[I also want a friend like that!]

[I wonder if Pig Hero can accept having a 252-month-old friend, to be your buddy?]

[Really becoming a fan of Pig Hero, so sunny and cheerful, really admirable!]
