Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Anonymous Post, the Main Account ’Accidentally’ Likes It

She had failed to crush that vermin Shu Yao, who crawled out of the garbage heaps of the Lower Star District, and her bastard son. On top of that, she was forced to shut down the restaurant she had worked so hard to build. Lin Zhenxiang had really shot herself in the foot this time!

The pain was suffocating!

The customers who had been kicked out demanded compensation from the restaurant’s management. Their mood soured as they were kept waiting for a response.

To placate them, she had no choice but to step forward with a smile and present a compensation plan.

This cost her another huge sum of money.

’She hated it, but what other choice did she have!’

Otherwise, both the restaurant’s reputation and her fame on the Star Network Platform would suffer.

’It was all the fault of those two lowlifes that she’d been reduced to this!’

As for the man with them, he looked plain, but he seemed to come from a powerful background. ’He must have been bewitched by some trick of Shu Yao’s, losing his mind and lowering himself to associate with such trash.’

’Once he discovers that woman Shu Yao’s true colors, he’ll definitely kick her to the curb!’

’That’s how noblemen from the Upper Star District are supposed to act!’

’Then let me be the one to tear away Shu Yao’s disguise and expose the stench of poverty that seeps from her very bones!’

On top of her selfish motives, Lin Zhenxiang now felt a sense of righteous indignation, as if she were eliminating a public menace.

She took the surveillance footage of Xiao Juzi’s stomachache in the private room and maliciously edited it into a ridiculous clip.

The way Xiao Juzi clutched his stomach and rolled around on the floor looked completely fake in the video.

Lin Zhenxiang posted the video on the Star Network with the caption:

[SHOCKING! Adults trying to dine and dash actually taught their child to pull the old ’fake a stomachache’ trick! If you can’t afford it, don’t come back! This one’s on me!]

She posted it anonymously, then "accidentally" liked it with her main account.

’Such a perfect maneuver!’

Leveraging her popularity on the Star Network, the video instantly went viral.

Netizens immediately started condemning the adults in the video.

[Oh my god, teaching such a little kid to dine and dash! Are these people even fit to be parents?!]

[A child raised by parents with no moral compass like this... it wouldn’t be surprising if they grew up to be a murderer or an arsonist!]

[That poor, adorable little Beastman, stuck with parents like that. It’s so pitiful!]

Shu Xin was shopping online at home when a friend sent her the video. The moment she saw it was her own Zaizai, she immediately contacted Shu Yao, who was out with him.

And so, Shu Yao saw the video through her.

She also saw the barrage of accusations and insults in the video’s comments.

Qin Shiwei said, "I’ll have the Master AI delete the post immediately."

If Xiao Juzi were to be formally recognized and registered under the Imperial Family, a post like this would never have even appeared on the Star Network.

The person who posted it was truly vile. They had zero awareness of child protection—not only did they fail to blur his face, they intentionally distorted the child’s image to make him look bad!

"There’s no need." Shu Yao’s face was like ice, her dark eyes filled with a grim, predatory chill. "The Lin Family... I’ll deal with them myself!"

"The Lin Family..." A flame of anger ignited in Shu Xin’s heart.

Shu Yao didn’t give her a chance to pursue it or vent. "Mom, you stay at the hospital with Xiao Juzi. I’m going out for a bit."

Before Shu Xin could even process what was happening, Shu Yao was already gone.

’Her daughter, whom she had brought back from the Lower Star District... How should she describe the feeling she gave her right now...’

’She was just so... dependable!’

Although her daughter had someone with her, Shu Xin didn’t fully trust Ah Bao, whom she had only met twice, including this time.

So, she contacted Shu Chao Yu and briefly explained what had happened before and after Xiao Juzi was treated at the Imperial Hospital.

Shu Chao Yu went on the Star Network, saw the video of Xiao Juzi’s "stomachache," and quickly identified the location from the background—

The viral restaurant, The Universe Has No End.ℴ
