232: end

After calming her emotions for a moment, Li Lulu opened the second gift box.

This box was palm-sized and a delicate pink; as she pushed it out of the first layer of packaging, the brand logo was revealed.

The moment she saw the logo, Li Lulu was stunned again.

She knew this brand; they specialized in luxury jewelry. Their cheapest item was a simple silver bracelet, and even a thin one cost six or seven hundred.

Li Lulu guessed that inside would be the basic bracelet she had been eyeing, but when she opened the box, she almost lost her mind.

Inside wasn't a bracelet, but a necklace. On the necklace was a very simple yet conspicuous diamond.

The reason she was going crazy was because she remembered that all the diamonds in this luxury store were natural; they didn't sell lab-grown diamonds or cubic zirconia at all.

In other words... Li Lulu's head was buzzing right now. Damn, her Little Brother had sent them a one-carat real diamond.

Sharp-eyed netizens in Li Lulu's livestream had already recognized what it was, and then the screen was filled with marmot-like screams.

Li Lulu's own face was flushed with excitement, and she wasn't the only one shocked by the gifts.

In just one night, Lu Qingyu once again trended on the hot search topics with an unexpected subject.

In an instant, Lu Qingyu dominated the Weibo hot search topics. Fans of other celebrities saw this and said sourly:

["The necklace must be fake. I bet the celebrity has a partnership with the brand, and they specially made a batch for him. The cost of the necklace is probably less than 20 yuan."]

["That perfume can't be real. An authentic bottle is 1,290 yuan; how could he spend 650,000 yuan for his fans?"]

["Lu Qingyu's reputation is going to crash. A celebrity actually giving out fakes."]

For a while, the internet was full of doubts about Lu Qingyu.

At this time, Lu Qingyu wasn't paying attention to the news online; instead, he was preparing to acquire a medical company.

Su Jixing had also been sent abroad to handle business, so for the moment, no one was dealing with the online news. Su Jixing had a time difference and hadn't had time to respond yet. Precisely because there was no immediate response, many netizens thought Lu Qingyu had a guilty conscience and had indeed sent fake goods.

Lu Qingyu's fans weren't having it. Even if they were fakes, they were happy to receive them. Thus, his fans and the general public started arguing.

Just when the general public thought they could hammer down Lu Qingyu's fans, the two brands came out to speak.

Both companies simultaneously clarified for Lu Qingyu that all the perfumes and necklaces they provided to him were authentic. They offered a ten-fold compensation for any fakes and stated they could be sent to institutions for testing.

Lu Qingyu's fans held their heads high.

Meanwhile, jealousy made the fans of other celebrities look hideous.

["Are celebrities really this rich?"]

["I haven't seen Lu Qingyu produce many works; how does he earn so much money?"]

["Lu Qingyu's fans shouldn't be fooled. This is a case of casting a long line to catch a Big Fish. He spent over six million on you, but in return, you'll have to spend over sixty million on him."]

At this moment, Lu Qingyu was being interviewed by a financial journalist because he had reached sixth place on the Forbes ranking list, and he was the youngest person in the top 100.

Qingzhou Financial Report—this report was very famous in Dragon Country. The people they interviewed had to be in the top 500 of the forbes world ranking list.

The Qingzhou Financial Report account first posted a text teaser: "Lu Qingyu, ranked 6th on the forbes world ranking list. Let us witness his brilliant life experience together."

["Pfft, this definitely can't be that celebrity Lu Qingyu."]

["There are too many people named Lu Qingyu. It says right there, 6th on the Forbes world ranking. Have you ever seen a celebrity on the forbes world ranking list?"]

["A while ago, I also saw someone named Xu An on the forbes world ranking list. I thought it was that celebrity Xu, but when I clicked in, it was a greasy, wealthy old uncle named Xu An."]

The general public, and even Lu Qingyu's own fans, didn't believe this Lu Qingyu was their Little Brother Lu Qingyu.

When the interview was released, not only were the bystanders stunned, but Lu Qingyu's fans were also dumbfounded.

["Did I just hear that right? What rank did he say Little Brother is on the Forbes list?"]

["Fuck, sixth."]

Fans: ["Holy crap holy crap holy crap."]

Other bystanders: ["What the actual fuck."]
