Hot Search Alert! The Princess Goes Viral Worldwide-Chapter 117
Her veins flowed with Liu Dong’s blood.
Liu Dong’s blood…
She was just like her mother—selfish and cruel…
Huo Sanchun took a step back, her mind echoing these words as if struck by lightning. She didn’t even notice when her phone slipped from her hand and clattered to the ground.
After what felt like an eternity, she slowly bent down to pick it up.
The call had already ended.
Numb, Huo Sanchun thought of the decades of mother-daughter love between her and Huo Junya. Even if the two children had truly been switched at birth, even if Huo Junya wasn’t her biological daughter, she would still cherish and raise her.
But Huo Junya’s words had shattered that illusion.
She was right—Liu Dong’s daughter would inevitably carry Liu Dong’s blood, inheriting that same selfish nature.
Liu Dong had swapped the children. Her own daughter had grown up beside Huo Sanchun, enjoying the best resources, while Huo Sanchun had poured everything into raising Huo Junya.

But what about her real daughter?
She had suffered abuse and humiliation at Liu Dong’s hands.
Why? Why? Why?
That was the daughter she had carried for ten months!
Huo Sanchun’s hands trembled, veins bulging, her hatred burning like wildfire.
No—she couldn’t let Liu Dong’s scheme succeed. Why should she raise that wretched woman’s child?

At the production set, Huo Junya was fuming.
She was furious, heartbroken, yet her mother hadn’t comforted her—instead, she had hung up.
Hurt and resentful, Huo Junya clenched her fists.
She was Huo Sanchun’s daughter! Why did her mother care more about Susu than her?
What did Susu even matter?
If she had been violated, it was her own fault—her bad luck. Why should Huo Junya pity her?
She knew her mother well.
Huo Sanchun’s sympathy had been stirred, and she wouldn’t act against Susu anymore.
But Huo Junya couldn’t accept that.
If persuasion wouldn’t work, she would force her mother’s hand.
After a moment’s thought, she posted on Weibo:
"Why do some people—hypocritical, cunning, and fake—always have others defending them? Is being honest, straightforward, and standing up for what’s right wrong?"
She attached two photos of herself, eyes filled with confusion, perfectly capturing the lost and helpless innocence of a teenage girl facing the harsh adult world.
The implication was obvious—it was a jab at the earlier incident where Susu had allegedly badmouthed Gu Nanyan, leading Huo Junya to lash out.
Netizens rushed to console her:
"Hugging our little duckling! The adult world is cruel and fake, but we hope you stay pure and keep your heroic spirit!"
"It’s not your fault, Junya! You were deceived and misunderstood—we’ll always believe in you!"
"We stand with you!"
Soon, more posts surfaced—photos of Huo Junya timidly peeking out from the livestream classroom, her hopeful gaze fixed on Gu Nanyan, only for Gu Nanyan to ignore her, focusing solely on Susu.
The images painted a heartbreaking narrative.
Netizens were devastated.
"When will Gu Nanyan see Susu for who she really is? Why is she helping someone so vile?"
"Birds of a feather flock together. Maybe Gu Nanyan isn’t so great either!"
Huo Junya smirked, about to like the comment—until she saw the backlash.
The replies exploded:
"Shut the hell up! Are you eating garbage? Talk about Susu if you want, but don’t drag Gu Nanyan into this!"
"You absolute moron! Anyone who insults Gu Nanyan deserves to rot!"
"I’ll doxx you myself! How dare you slander Gu Nanyan?!"
The fury was overwhelming.
While supportive comments for Huo Junya numbered in the thousands, the backlash against the Gu Nanyan slander reached hundreds of thousands.
Huo Junya’s heart pounded.
Thank goodness I didn’t like that.
Gu Nanyan’s fanbase was terrifying.
She had to remember—never drag Gu Nanyan into this.
Still, not everyone sided with Huo Junya. Some defended Susu, while others remained neutral, unwilling to pick a side without proof.
The controversy spread, even dividing the show’s participants.
Among the student guests, some supported Huo Junya, while others stayed neutral—though their neutrality was mostly out of respect for Gu Nanyan.
No one openly backed Susu.
But those who remained neutral trusted Gu Nanyan’s judgment—if she protected Susu, there had to be a reason.

After the livestream, Susu ran into Huo Junya on her way back.
Instinctively, she lowered her head—not out of fear, but to avoid causing trouble for Gu Nanyan.
Huo Junya sneered at her cowering.
"Weren’t you so bold earlier? With Gu Nanyan as your shield, why act so scared now?"
Susu forced herself to meet Huo Junya’s gaze.
"Huo Junya, I’m not competing with you. I just want to finish the program. Why can’t you let me be?"
"How naive." Huo Junya scoffed. "Do you think I care about you? If you weren’t clinging to Gu Nanyan, I wouldn’t even glance your way."
She leaned in, voice icy.
"Here’s your last chance—leave Gu Nanyan and quit the show."
Her tone dripped with condescension, as if she were granting Susu a mercy.
Susu’s fists clenched, her entire body trembling.
She was afraid. She didn’t have a powerful mother like Huo Junya—her own mother, Liu Dong, wished her dead.
She was poor, timid, untalented.
But—
Why should she back down?
Gu Nanyan was the only light in her bleak, hopeless life.
No matter the slander, the traps, the obstacles—she would never give up.
She would stand by Gu Nanyan’s side.
Not just stand there—she would fight tooth and nail until she deserved to be there.
Did being weak and poor mean she had no right to rise?
Why should Huo Junya crush her?
If Huo Junya were truly exceptional, maybe. But she wasn’t. She was mediocre, two-faced—mocking Gu Nanyan while leeching off her fame.
Someone like her didn’t deserve to stand beside Gu Nanyan.
"I won't back down!" Susu clenched her fists, her expression resolute.
Huo Junya's gaze turned dark and icy: "Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
