Lin Muchen was very angry. The consequences were severe.
She had a cold expression on her face.
When Ms. Lin Cuiping entered the room, she saw Lin Muchen, who was huffing with anger, resembling a startled kitten.
She was both curious and found it somewhat amusing.
"What's wrong?"
"Did someone make you unhappy?"
She noticed Lin Muchen's phone screen was lit up and took a look.
Her tone of voice also rose considerably.
"Ling Qianhe revealed his relationship?"
"That damned playboy... I knew it, men who are too good-looking are always trouble!"
"This woman doesn't look that great either, a scheming woman who seduces men, common and vulgar!"
"Xiao Ci, don't be angry. I promise you, you're definitely a thousand times better than her!"
Lin Muchen: "..."
That was her herself.
Although she knew her mother's intention was to comfort her.
She felt a bit like crying and laughing at the same time.
Lin Cuiping patted her back soothingly.
"Xiao Ci, don't worry, I promise you, your future boyfriend will be a hundred times better than him."
Lin Muchen, however, said.
"No, this isn't his current girlfriend."
No... if you insist on calling her a current girlfriend, that might also be acceptable.
Explaining this.
It was simply too complicated.
Ms. Lin Cuiping, however, remained very angry.
"Ling Qianhe is only twenty, twenty-one years old, and his romantic life is already so complicated. Old Li was right, boys who are too handsome are unreliable!"
"I really think you need to find someone honest and dependable. Your classmate is quite good... Oh, right, Old Li mentioned that you cured his mother's illness?"
"They really wanted to come and thank me. How could I accept their gifts, so I sent the mother and son back."
Ms. Lin Cuiping waved her hand, her tone full of emotion.
"Xiao Ci, tell me, how can that child be so pure and obedient."
"I asked him why he came over when you weren't home, and he said he hadn't finished memorizing his English vocabulary words yet and was afraid you'd quiz him..."
Lin Muchen chuckled.
She had only told Zhou Yuanan to memorize three thousand words as a joke.
She hadn't expected him to take it so seriously.
Lin Cuiping was still huffing, thinking that Ling Qianhe was truly unreliable.
She sighed, and her phone rang.
She answered the call.
"You're talking about the Daqin Bay plot of land?"
"Of course I said we're buying it."
"It's not well-planned now? We can just wait, can't we? Judging by the city's development, that area will definitely become prosperous and bustling. The current price is a complete bargain. If the Ling family doesn't want it, why shouldn't we?"
Ms. Lin Cuiping used to be soft-spoken and indecisive.
Now she had completely changed.
Lin Muchen looked at Lin Cuiping curiously, while the latter merely snorted with a hint of smugness in her tone.
"I told you, I want to help you, Xiao Ci. That piece of land will be very prosperous in the future. If I buy it low now and sell it high later, it can at least make you ten times the profit. Our Xiao Ci is going to be a powerful CEO!"
"I want to build a vast commercial empire for Xiao Ci!"
Lin Cuiping's words were decisive, without the slightest hint of hesitation.
The system remarked.
"Your mommy seems to have awakened her business talent. That's right, after she had that dream, she knows the future like the back of her hand."
"This golden finger is quite powerful, the system rewards are very useful. Don't complain that I'm not doing anything."
Lin Cuiping looked at Lin Muchen, then remembered something else and hugged her tightly.
"Lu Miaoyu, that little white lotus, she dropped out of school directly. Lu Yuanhang specifically called me using a public phone to ask if you had bullied her at school."
"I gave him a piece of my mind!"
"Xiao Ci would never do something so pointless!"
"Besides, even if she was bullied, she deserved it!"
Lin Cuiping hugged Lin Muchen tightly.
"In any case, all the blame is on others. Xiao Ci is never wrong."
It was quite unreasonable.
But it made Lin Muchen feel warm inside.
Lin Cuiping continued to tell Lin Muchen.
"Lu Miaoyu's withdrawal from school is said to be due to signing with an entertainment company. I had your Uncle Zhaolong investigate, and he said she signed with Lu Ke Ke's company, so it's possible she'll debut together with Lu Ke Ke."
"Lu Ke Ke isn't that girl who hit a wrong note in 'Idol of the Future'? I remember her movements were very stiff and she had no stage presence."
"I really don't understand why she was so popular before, but she probably holds a grudge for losing to you and not debuting."
"Her family also has some connections, which is why they signed Lu Miaoyu, I guess. They probably want to team up with Lu Miaoyu to compete against you!"
Lin Cuiping's analysis was sharp and insightful.
But she also confidently told Lin Muchen.
"Xiao Ci, don't worry, I will absolutely not let them succeed!"
Lin Cuiping was quite proud.
"Moreover, I also guessed that when Lu Miaoyu debuts, she will definitely use her relationship with Lu Yuanhang to make a fuss. I'm already investigating the events of that year, and I will absolutely not let them threaten you with this, Xiao Ci!"
"No one will ever stop my Xiao Ci from becoming a top star!"
Ms. Lin Cuiping was, in short, full of fighting spirit.
Lin Muchen had her head ruffled by her, and then Ms. Lin Cuiping said.
"Oh, right, there's also a package here, sent for you."
Lin Muchen perked up.
Were the clothes she had stored finally arriving?
...
When the black velvet evening gown was unfurled, even Ms. Lin Cuiping, a lady from a wealthy family, couldn't help but gasp in admiration.
"This... this is too beautiful."
In the darkness, the black velvet evening gown felt like a black phoenix spreading its wings, as if reborn from hell.
Lin Muchen explained to Ms. Lin Cuiping that the dress was a gift, and Lin Cuiping found it quite regrettable.
"Such a beautiful dress... why give it away. Who are you giving it to?"
Lin Muchen stated the producer's name.
Ms. Lin Cuiping's expression became a little wistful.
"He Yunru? If it's for her, I have no objections to giving her this dress."
Lin Muchen was a little curious.
"Mom, do you know her?"
Ms. Lin Cuiping sighed.
"Of course I know her. She was quite a prominent figure in the country back then. She had everything she wanted. There are only a few famous prominent families in the country, so how could I not know He Yunru? When she was at the height of her fame, most young ladies from prominent families envied her."
"After all, she had beauty and knowledge, she had everything. Unfortunately, her love life was fraught with difficulties. Her father, in order to have her inherit the family business, forcefully broke her up with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend died of depression, and after inheriting the family business herself, she eventually chose to become a film producer."
"I met her when I was young and felt she was shining, like a goddess descended to earth, so outstanding."
"Looking back now, all I can do is sigh!"
Lin Muchen blinked.
"So?"
Ms. Lin Cuiping was startled.
"So what?"
Lin Muchen thought for a moment and said.
"She wants me to act in her film."
Lin Cuiping hesitated.
"She is talented... but... but..."
Lin Muchen looked up at Ms. Lin Cuiping.
"When she was young, did she perhaps suppress you, or was she your love rival?"
"If that's the case, then I won't act in her film."
She was quite resolute on this point.
Lin Cuiping was taken aback, then smiled.
"Silly daughter, how could that be? She was quite friendly. She even helped me out of a difficult situation once. I remember at a foreign wine reception, someone was bullying me, and she spoke up to help me. She was with her boyfriend at the time, and I had a very good impression of her."
He Yunru had helped Mom.
Lin Muchen narrowed her eyes.
Looking at it this way.
She might actually consider taking on this film.
