Hot Search Alert! The Princess Goes Viral Worldwide-Chapter 125

Xu Yuhe publicly announced Susu's identity online, revealing that he had a daughter.

He then bought an apartment near the production studio and brought Susu over, beginning his life as a devoted father accompanying her.

During the day, Susu attended live recordings, and in the evenings, she returned to Xu Yuhe's place.

Xu Yuhe wanted to be good to Susu, but he had no experience in parenting. He clumsily attempted to cook for her, burning his hand three times in the process. The dishes he made were either too salty or charred—completely inedible.

Susu had initially been nervous, unsure how to interact with her father. Though they were father and daughter, they had never lived together before.

After deciding to stay with him, Susu asked many people for advice on how to bond with a father.

She was extremely anxious, worried that he might not like her.

But when she finally reunited with him, she realized Xu Yuhe was even more nervous than she was.

He was terrified that Susu wouldn’t like him.

Staring at the disastrously burnt food, Xu Yuhe’s frustration nearly overflowed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll start over."

It was so strange—he had followed the recipe exactly, so why did it turn out so wrong?

He picked up the frying pan, intending to dump the ruined dish into the trash.

But with a splat, it landed on his foot instead. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Ow! That's hot!"

Xu Yuhe jumped, nearly flinging the pan across the room.

Watching the chaotic scene unfold in the kitchen, Susu couldn’t help but sigh. "Let me handle it."

She took the pan, swiftly washed it, and soon prepared a fragrant, perfectly cooked dish.

Xu Yuhe clapped in amazement. "Susu, you're amazing! How are you so good at this? The way you flipped the pan just now was so cool!"

His praise made Susu blush.

"It's nothing special. Cooking is easy."

"Easy? No way! You're just naturally talented!" Xu Yuhe gave her a thumbs-up.

The two struggled through dinner together.

Afterward, Xu Yuhe pulled out a bank card and handed it to Susu. "This is your allowance. There’s 100,000 yuan in it."

Susu froze, hesitating to take it.

She felt awkward accepting his money.

Xu Yuhe’s face fell, his eyes welling up. "Is it not enough? I’m such a failure as a father."

"No, no! It’s more than enough! That’s not what I meant!" Susu hurriedly waved her hands, her face flushing.

Xu Yuhe’s eyes reddened. "Then why won’t you take it? Every father gives their daughter an allowance—I don’t want to fall short compared to others."

He was oddly competitive.

Reluctantly, Susu accepted the card.

Next, Xu Yuhe enthusiastically took her shopping, buying her everything in sight.

He bought over a dozen dresses, along with shoes, backpacks, stationery, snacks, and all kinds of accessories.

By the time they left, the car was packed full.

Xu Yuhe couldn’t contain his excitement. "They’re all so pretty! I love beautiful things, but I can’t wear them myself—people would call me a weirdo. But now I have a daughter, so I can buy them for you!"

Susu had initially felt uneasy about the excess, but when she heard Xu Yuhe wistfully say he couldn’t wear them himself, she burst out laughing.

Gathering her courage, she said, "Then... I’ll wear them for you, Dad."

"Deal."

On the way back, Susu dozed off in the car, exhausted.

While waiting at a red light, Xu Yuhe’s usual clumsy, good-natured expression faded, revealing a sharp, affectionate gaze.

He glanced at Susu and gently brushed her hair.

As a seasoned actor and one of the most respected veterans in the industry, Xu Yuhe was anything but a bumbling fool in real life.

After all, he had once played a chef—for that role, he had trained rigorously for three months.

But Susu was too timid, too fragile.

To bridge the gap between them, he had no choice but to play the role of an awkward, inexperienced father.

Thankfully, his acting skills were up to the task.

Making sure Susu was still asleep, he quietly left the house.

They met at a nearby café.

Huo Sanchun looked haggard, as if he had aged a decade overnight.

"Long time no see," Huo Sanchun forced a smile when Xu Yuhe arrived.

"We just saw each other the other day," Xu Yuhe replied coldly, referring to the day Huo Junya jumped.

At the mention of the incident, Huo Sanchun flinched. He took a sip of coffee to steady himself.

"I heard you’ve filed a lawsuit against Liu Dong as Susu’s father," Huo Sanchun said slowly, his head lowered. "Can you drop the charges? I’m begging you."

Xu Yuhe’s voice turned icy. "For Huo Junya’s sake?"

Huo Sanchun didn’t deny it.

Known for his gentle demeanor, Xu Yuhe finally lost his temper. "You’re pleading for someone else? You should worry about yourself first.

I’ve already gathered evidence—you hired trolls to smear Susu, slandering an underage girl. I’ll be suing you soon enough!"

Huo Sanchun stared at Xu Yuhe in disbelief, her lips trembling. "You're suing me?"

"Why wouldn't I sue you after what you did to my daughter?" Xu Yuhe shot back.

Huo Sanchun stood up, glaring coldly at him. "Susu is my daughter too."

"You still remember she’s your daughter? Have you ever acted like a mother? Have you ever considered her feelings for even a second?"

Huo Sanchun turned her face away, unwilling to discuss the matter.

Guilt weighed heavily on her heart when it came to Susu.

Xu Yuhe also rose to his feet, done wasting time with her. He threw out one last remark before leaving, "I’ve already handed all the evidence to my lawyer. Expect a court summons soon."

"Xu Yuhe, you’re really this ruthless!" Huo Sanchun’s eyes reddened.

After over 20 years of knowing each other, after sharing a child together—how could he treat her like this?

Xu Yuhe paused, then turned back to face her. "You’re too arrogant. Years of smooth sailing have made you conceited and dismissive of others. Did you ever spare a single thought for Gu Nanyan?

You treated the 'Smoke Empress' like a mere tool—did you think you were some kind of queen?"

Huo Sanchun was stunned. Why was Gu Nanyan suddenly being brought into this? What did she have to do with any of it?

Seeing Huo Sanchun’s clueless expression, Xu Yuhe decided to lay it all out. "The evidence was given to me by the Smoke Empress. The moment you first slandered Susu, she had already begun investigating you.

You know exactly how many skeletons are in your closet. What Gu Nanyan handed me was just a fraction of it."

Huo Sanchun collapsed into her chair, her voice dazed. "I’ve never offended Gu Nanyan..."

Xu Yuhe scoffed. "Susu was originally by the Smoke Empress’s side. Then you shoved Huo Junya in, trying to leech off her fame—did you ever consult her?

When Huo Junya insulted Gu Nanyan, did you ever apologize?

You targeted those close to her, hired trolls to smear Susu—did you ever show her the slightest respect?

Now you claim you never offended her? It’s clear you never even regarded her as someone to take seriously."

Huo Sanchun’s face fell in defeat.

What happened next unfolded with startling speed. Before anyone could react, Gu Nanyan had submitted all the evidence to the court.

Liu Dong was sentenced to seven years for multiple charges, including child trafficking, abuse, and defamation.

The Zhao family, convicted of purchasing underage girls, received a one-year sentence and saw their business collapse into bankruptcy.

Huo Sanchun was sentenced to three years for defamation and tax evasion, with a one-year probation and a fine of 130 million. To pay it off, she liquidated her assets, watching her life’s work vanish overnight.

Meanwhile, Gu Nanyan gazed out the window and murmured, "The weather’s turned cold."

Beside her, Feng Chengxi replied, "Liu Dong and Huo Sanchun are both behind bars now."

A faint smile curled Gu Nanyan’s lips.

Her principle was simple: she never struck lightly—but when she did, she made sure her enemies were buried.

Liu Dong and Huo Sanchun had been eyesores. Prison was the perfect place for them.
