Chapter Six: Simps Will End Up Tramps

Chen Tianming couldn't help but sneer at the recollection. Seeing that Liu Xixi's profile status showed she was live-streaming, he clicked on it without hesitation.

He couldn't forget how Liu Xixi went to one of her lovers with her newborn baby and spread rumors that Chen Tianming forced her into an improper relationship with him. She even stole the Chen Corporation's tender documents, causing the company to lose a billion yuan project, and the company stock plummeted.

Chen Tianming remembered all these 'debts' clearly.

Now, the 'debtors' had come knocking at his door. Alright, he would let them experience what he went through in his previous life.

When Chen Tianming entered Liu Xixi's live stream, a VIP golden special effect appeared.

Chen Tianming had almost forgotten that he spent a lot of money on Liu Xixi to support and make her famous. Due to his expenditure, he successfully topped the leaderboard and became the most outstanding member of the platform.

That achievement netted him the dubious honor of having a special effect soaring across the screen every time he entered a livestream.

It looked like his plan to keep a low profile was a bust, but Tianming didn't intend to speak up in the stream.

Liu Xixi dressed even more skimpily in the livestream than in her short video. She was wearing a spaghetti top and sexy shorts. It left so little to the imagination that she might as well wear her birthday suit.

However, it had to be said that Liu Xixi was good-looking. She was different from Jiang Lianlian's pure and simple charm. Liu Xixi was flirty and sl*tty to the bone. She could seduce a man's soul with her eyes alone.

Notified of Chen Tianming's arrival, Liu Xixi immediately said sweetly, "Hello, Tianming!"

Chen Tianming's user ID was also very down-to-earth; it was 'Destiny Can Be Defied,' as his name 'Tianming' meant Destiny.

"Tianming hasn't come to see Xixi for a long time," Liu Xixi said with an alluring smile. She leaned closer to the camera, giving the audience an eyeful of her bust.

"Tianming! I want to see a Ferrari stream gift!" Liu Xixi pouted and cried out, her voice pitching high and low in a coy tone.

In the past, Chen Tianming's phone would have started to smoke from the number of stream gifts he sent out. But today, Chen Tianming felt that she was highly pretentious and had no merits besides her pretty face.

"Option 1: Give Liu Xixi gifts. Lose 1,000,000 yuan and gain 0.5 favorable impression points from Liu Xixi."

"Option 2: Ignore Liu Xixi and exit the livestream. Liu Xixi's favorability points -100."

"Option 3: Reclaim the gifts you sent her previously. Reward: Liu Xixi's diary."

You had to admit; the system sure knows its stuff.

Chen Tianming chose the third option without hesitation. Come on, who cared about her favorable impression points? 

The Chen Tianming of before may have been interested in her. However, when he thought about how Liu Xixi had slept with countless men in his past life, he lost all instinctive desires for her. With her sexual history, no one knew if she had a clean bill of health.

If only he had known earlier, Liu Xixi wasn't the only beauty in the world after all.

In the past, Chen Tianming would have already taken the initiative and sent a request to voice chat, but he was awfully quiet today. Liu Xixi thought that this human ATM of hers was still reloading.

Liu Xixi wondered how many gifts Chen Tianming would give her this time, and she called out more energetically in her excitement.

"Tianming ~ Liu 'er wants ~ a sea of roses ~"

"Tianming ~ Liu 'er wants ~ a luxurious ship gift ~"

Chen Tianming watched as Liu Xixi got more involved in her performance and opened his gift list without pause. Because he had bought so many gifts, he now had 500,000 heart gifts given to him by the livestream platform for free.

Such a gift is only worth one cent to a streamer.

If Chen Tianming weren't gearing up for his show of nonsense later, he wouldn't have let Liu Xixi earn even a single cent from him.

Chen Tianming tapped his fingers on his phone, and a golden dragon appeared on the screen with his ID.

"[Destiny Can Be Defied] gifted a heart."

Just like that, the notification floated along the screen plainly and unadorned.

Liu Xixi abruptly became silent and froze briefly, but she then feigned a fake smile. "Tianming, are you joking with Xixi?"

Chen Tianming almost laughed out loud. Liu Xixi was truly thick-skinned to be able to endure this.

However, the climax has yet to come. Chen Tianming slowly typed a line of words and posted it onto the Live Comments tab.

"The thing is, I'm a little short of money recently, Xixi."

Liu Xixi was an intelligent woman; she immediately assumed a caring demeanor and smiled gently. "It's fine, Tianming. If Tianming needs anything, you can tell Xixi. Xixi will be happy to help where she can."

Everyone knows how to play a role these days; Liu Xixi was just paying lip service and acting as per her public persona. She wasn't the charitable type.

As expected, her fans in the livestream began to praise Liu Xixi for her beauty and kindness.

This was precisely what Chen Tianming planned. He set up the scene just now, knowing that Liu Xixi would use any means possible to enforce her perfect image.

Things went as Chen Tianming intended; it wouldn't be long before Liu Xixi would be dragged down by her very own facade.

Chen Tianming laughed mockingly. He unhurriedly typed out his response and sent it without hesitation.

"Then, can Xixi return the gifts I sent you previously?"

Liu Xixi stiffened; she nearly lost control of her facial expression before remembering she was still live-streaming.

'What the hell? It won't be easy to return Chen Tianming's gifts; that's a lot of money. Besides, part of it went to the platform as dividends, so I didn't receive the entire figure. Even if I had the full sum, I wouldn't return it.'

Liu Xixi's live stream was quite popular, and the viewers in the Live Comments were in an uproar.

"No way! What kind of person asks for their gifts back?"

"That's right. Xixi also has to split her earnings with the platform, so how can you ask that of her?"

"That's not cool, bro. If you don't have the money, don't pretend to be rich and spend so generously in the first place."

"Hey hey hey, you say you want your gifts back? Man, your manipulations turn me off!"

…

Tianming only spared a glance at the comments. 'That's right; I am a scheming pauper. So what will you do now?'

Chen Tianming carefully observed Liu Xix as he again commented, "Xixi, you don't have to pay me back the original sum. Just return the amount you got after the platform had its cut."

Liu Xixi still maintained her fake smile. She looked at her phone as if she was thinking for a short while. Then, she typed something on it and beamed. 

"Okay, but Tianming might have to give me time to gather the money. But it's fine. I'm thrilled to be able to help Tianming."

"Tianming, I'll contact you after I finish my live stream! Let's not waste everyone's time now," Liu Xixi said with a sweet smile, acting as if she was indeed going to return his money.

Chen Tianming raised his eyebrows. Something's not right. This was definitely not Liu Xixi's style!

And sure enough, the administrator kicked Chen Tianming out of the livestream.
