The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Weird Green Tea Man

Scarlett Jennings’ words left the guests, who were considering saying something to lighten the mood, suddenly speechless.

"I don’t know why, but when Scarlett Jennings speaks, I just kinda believe her. Don’t ask me why, it’s just like she’s got some kind of magic."

"Ah great, looks like the Atkins family’s house might collapse."

"Seventeen years old, still a minor, what could he do?"

"I know! When Spencer Atkins was seventeen, he filmed ’Youthful Jumping,’ his first lead role and the one that made him famous."

"I totally shipped him and Ivy Sullivan back then!"

"To the person above, shipping everything is going to be the death of you."

"No, shipping everything just keeps my interests balanced."

"Is Scarlett Jennings implying that Spencer Atkins and Ivy Sullivan were actually a thing?!"

"Well, if it’s true, I’m all for it!"

This kind of topic is relatively sensitive in the country, but there are quite a few male stars who secretly gain fans this way. Generally, most people just play along, and there are very few who truly prefer this style, even fewer who dare to show it openly.

When Spencer Atkins heard Scarlett Jennings mention him at seventeen, his face turned slightly pale. Although he tried to remain calm, he was ultimately too young to completely conceal his emotions, which anyone would see as a sign of guilt.

"What... what could I do? Scarlett, I don’t know what made you upset, but I truly admire you."

Perhaps afraid of saying too much or making mistakes, Spencer quickly added with resignation, "Forget it, let’s just say it’s my fault. You’ve all worked hard this morning, so go ahead and rest."

That said, he turned and left with a look of forlorn yet feigned generosity.

The group of guests and crew looked at each other in confusion.

Dashiell looked particularly puzzled, "Why did he sound so strange?"

He hadn’t interacted with many people and didn’t know about a certain speaking style among humans called "green tea speech."

But even if he didn’t understand, many in the livestream chat did.

"Brother, your instinct is correct, this is what we call green tea speech."

"Never thought I’d live to see a male green tea master."

"Ariel Zimmerman: Infuriated, suddenly knocked off the top spot."

"Can the comments in the livestream stop being so passive-aggressive? Didn’t you see how wronged Spencer looked?"

"The person above, I can’t even tell if you’re friend or foe..."

"I used to watch him and he was clear and fresh like a younger brother, and his acting was amazing, so why has he suddenly become so odd?"

"Scarlett Jennings is taking advantage of her good background to openly target male actors on the show. Why don’t you criticize her? Why only target our boy?"

"What should your reaction be if you were the one targeted? Is our boy wrong for not wanting to argue with her?"

Fans of Spencer Atkins and followers of Scarlett Jennings’ variety show began clashing in the comments. Amidst the chaos, someone finally posted some news on what Scarlett had said about his seventeenth year.

"Guys, I specifically searched for news from 2017 about Spencer Atkins. There’s one piece about a young actor playing Spencer’s brother who inexplicably pushed him, leading to an injury. Could Scarlett be referring to this incident?"

"I remember that, Spencer’s fans were really harsh back then, and later that young actor even apologized online."

"I know, I know! That younger brother didn’t have many scenes, but he was super shy and cute, I really liked him at the time! Unfortunately, he seemed to be scared off by the fans’ scolding and quit acting afterward."

Everyone urged the woman to take the child home quickly so as not to disturb the experts checking the geomancy.

The woman was also feeling a bit helpless and was about to leave when Scarlett Jennings suddenly called out.

"Hold on."

The woman stopped in her tracks, her face suddenly hopeful as she returned. Scarlett looked over the child’s features thoughtfully.

"Ma’am, this child of yours, was he prayed for?"

Before the woman could reply, a villager next to her answered,

"Yes indeed, the daughter-in-law at the woman’s house has been married for seven years, and she prayed every day to finally have such a big grandson."

Hearing Scarlett Jennings so directly state that the child was prayed for, the woman’s expression immediately showed some tension.

"Young lady, is there a problem?"

Could it be that a prayed-for child is unstable and needs to be... taken back?

Seeing the worry and pale look on the woman’s face, Scarlett quickly reassured her,

"Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with the child."

She continued, "Since he’s a prayed-for child, there’s usually a need to fulfill a vow. Now that he’s a year old, you should take the child and fulfill the vow."

Scarlett Jennings’ words left everyone momentarily stunned, and the woman suddenly came to a realization, stamping her foot.

"That’s right! Of course, I should’ve fulfilled the vow! That’s why he’s been fussing..."

The woman spoke, sounding upset with herself, then looked at Scarlett Jennings with a hint of hesitation, "But I... I prayed at so many places, where should I go to fulfill the vow?"
