The Crazy Son-In-Law

That evening, Xiao Shun took a day off from work, claiming that he needed to handle some matters in Northleap. Yao Cen, feeling extremely content due to a recent significant benefit, didn’t inquire further and simply approved his leave.

The next morning, a plane departed from Harrow and slowly landed on the runway of Northleap International Airport. Xiao Shun and Mo Yibai, fully prepared for their short journey, hailed a taxi at the airport entrance to head to the Northleap Marriott Hotel.

“There’s a charity auction in the celebrity world tonight that needs to be held. It’s a closed event. Will you accompany me?” Mo Yibai lounged lazily on the sofa in the presidential suite, slowly mentioning the details of the evening’s auction to Xiao Shun.

Due to a rare natural disaster that recently struck Northleap, a highly experienced celebrity took the lead in organizing a disaster relief auction. The auction was entirely closed, and the funds raised would be transferred to local charities in cash.

Many top stars and tycoons would attend, with the items up for auction mostly provided by the celebrities and bid on by the tycoons. Hearing this, Xiao Shun smirked strangely. “I wonder what valuable item our esteemed star Mo Yibai will offer for auction this time?”

Mo Yibai glared at him impatiently. “I’m auctioning off the evening gown I wore when I received the Best Newcomer Award.”

While the dress itself wasn’t particularly expensive, it held extraordinary significance for Mo Yibai, as it was what she wore when she received her first award.

Upon hearing Mo Yibai’s auction item, Xiao Shun exclaimed, “Wow, it seems many tycoons will be fiercely competing for your dress tonight!”

Mo Yibai rolled her eyes. “It’s not as exaggerated as you think. Many top celebrities will attend tonight. While the item I’m offering for auction is significant, compared to others, it might not be as impressive.”

“Life is full of comparisons,” Xiao Shun sighed. The charity auction, which was initially a noble cause, now seemed somewhat sordid after Mo Yibai’s comments.

Mo Yibai smiled faintly. “Words aside, regardless of comparisons, the donated funds are real. If the bidding is intense, the amount raised will be even greater.”

She had spent her university years in Northleap and felt a deep connection to the place. In the face of the current hardship, she felt a sense of duty.

Xiao Shun agreed with Mo Yibai’s sentiments. “Don’t worry, I’ll also lend a hand to Northleap!”

He had recently seen numerous reports about the disasters in Northleap and felt deeply moved. Since there was an auction, he felt compelled to contribute.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, the evening arrived.

As night fell, the hotel’s surroundings were packed with people holding various signs, each bearing the name of a different celebrity. Two names appeared most frequently: the newly crowned national goddess Mo Yibai, and the woman known as the “Heavenly Sister,” Liu Yufei.

The deafening cheers echoed through the area, shaking the ground. It was clear that the power of these fans was truly formidable!

Outside the hotel, about a hundred journalists jostled, their cameras flashing with every arrival. The scene left Xiao Shun dumbfounded. “Wow, this is insane!”

Mo Yibai, sitting beside him, seemed unfazed. After all, every time she appeared in public, she was the center of such fanfare.

Before long, their car slowly pulled up at the hotel entrance. Xiao Shun, dressed in a black suit, got out to welcome Mo Yibai.

But the moment Mo Yibai, dressed in a black evening gown, stepped out of the car, time seemed to stand still. The bustling scene momentarily paused.

After a moment, the crowd erupted, and the photographers’ flashes became even more intense, almost blinding.

“Yibai! Yibai!” The synchronized chant thundered through the crowd, and those holding “Mo Yibai” signs went into a frenzy. If it weren’t for the hotel’s prepared staff, the situation might have spiraled out of control.

Even Xiao Shun, accustomed to large-scale events, was taken aback by Mo Yibai’s fanatical fans. Now he truly understood the concept of idol worship.

At the same time, another black Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up at the hotel entrance. Shortly after, a woman, no less stunning than Mo Yibai, emerged from the car.

Radiating an otherworldly aura, she captivated countless men. This was Liu Yufei, rightfully living up to her reputation as the “Heavenly Sister.”

“Yufei, Yufei!” With Liu Yufei’s appearance, the hotel entrance erupted in a wave of noise, rivaling Mo Yibai’s grand entrance just moments before.

The journalists’ cameras intensified their onslaught, now turning towards Liu Yufei. Witnessing his idol’s presence being overshadowed, Mo Yibai’s fans became agitated. Neck and neck, they raised their voices in a competitive frenzy.

“Yibai, Yibai!” The chant from Mo Yibai’s fans clashed with the equally fervent cries of “Yufei, Yufei!” from Liu Yufei’s supporters.

Xiao Shun was left speechless by the spectacle. No wonder celebrities were constantly at odds; it was all because of their fans!
