QTVW Chapter 26
Showbiz* Sexy Queen (XIII)
----
After Mei Mu Lan had finished the task at hand, it was time for the crew to start filming.
When she arrived at the set, she met Ling Yi Yao in the dressing room, whom she had not seen for a long time. Because she was in a hurry to solve Bai Jieying's matter these days, she did not have time to go back to her villa in Jiangnan Town to look for Ling Yi Yao, and when she saw her again this time, she was actually in a bit of a trance, and thinking of the demented acts she was going to do, she immediately bear-hugged her.
She said with delight,
“It's been a long time, I missed you, didn't you miss me? Ah, no wonder I always feel that something is missing these days, so it is not absorbing your breath, O, instantly feel bad ......”
Ling Yi Yao listened silently to her exaggerated expressions, yet this time, instead of just tossing her aside as she had done in the past, she allowed her to hug her and then said,
“Have you had enough hugs?”
Seeing that Mei Mu Lan was a little dazed, she took the initiative and pushed her away, saying,
“We're going to start shooting the first scene in a few minutes, so go to the dressing room now and get ready.”
With that, she turned and walked away.
Mei Mu Lan looked at her back in confusion, she always felt that there was something wrong with Ling Yi Yao today, or had she been abused too much and become a M, she was not used to it when people were slightly nicer to her?!
Tremble……
She was busy shaking off this frightening thought and went to the dressing room and changed into her costume. By the time she put on a red costume and walked out, she saw that, at this moment, Ling Yi Yao had already started filming.
At this moment, she was sitting in a furnished room, sitting upright in front of a mirror, letting a lovely, round-looking maid, brush her makeup,
“That is Ling Yi Yao's hair, it's my hair, none of you should touch it.”
But her sanity stopped her and she thought to herself: It's over, demented people have become the norm, how can I be normal now?
The first shot of the first scene of the 《Love in a Fallen City》is of the Major's wife, brushing her makeup in the mirror.
At this moment, Ling Yi Yao, who has become the wife of the Major in the center, is wearing a fitted and exquisite Republican costume, the maids are helping her to pull up her hair, she is sitting motionlessly on a stool, her face is delicate and numb, her eyes are hollow, the whole person looks beautiful, but just like a delicate doll, from her, no semblance of life and vitality can be seen.
As the most popular film queen in China, Ling Yi Yao's acting skills, surely, go without saying.
She got into her stride well and performed the Major's wife beautifully, acting very well, and after her it was time to change scenes and it was time for Mei Mu Lan, as the opera singer, to take the stage.
Mei Mu Lan went to another room that was set up, then started to pick up her ink brush and trace her make-up in the mirror.
She originally had the memory of the original owner's own make-up for more than ten years, so she became very familiar with it and began to apply it to herself according to the make-up strokes of the Peking Opera.
In that moment, she thought of herself as that opera singer in the novel.
Both Mei Mu Lan and Ling Yi Yao's acting is superb and each scene is shot through with no jams at all.
So it was soon time for the second act of the day's filming, this time outdoors. The plot mentions that this is a grand birthday party, and as a warlord in the south-east, Xiao Shi Yan has three legitimate sons, the eldest, the second and the fourth, all born to his main wife.
This was a sign of respect for a lady in such a large family, and many of the ladies envied the lady of the Xiao Sheng Banquet because she was respected by her husband, who gave him three sons, and at the same time, her three sons, all of whom were competitive, had now entered the army and enjoyed high official positions.
But, in fact, in addition to his three sons, Xiao Shi Yan also had a dozen sons with seven beautiful concubines. Every year, when he returned from war, he would bring home a few beautiful concubines, which were then secretly disposed of by his main wife, if they did not look good, to maintain the balance of numbers in the house.
And the thing, to outsiders, is that this warlord's wife, with her tact and scheming, is a model for everyone.
And, this time, it was his eldest son's wife's birthday party.
The warlord Xiao Da Shao, the strongest and best looking, has inherited the trait of Xiao's father, that is, he is good at beauty and cannot walk away when he sees a beautiful woman.
Fortunately, this current lady of his was not of low status, so although he did not see eye to eye with her, the respect that should be given was still given.
So, on his wife's birthday, Young Master Xiao invited guests and opened a grand birthday party.
And it was at such a grand banquet that the Second Young Lady, one of the female leads of this story, first met one of the other female leads, the opera singer of the troupe.
For this shoot, Miss S. had the whim to replace the names of the characters in the novel with pseudonyms for the actors' names, because in the novel, there are basically only codenames like "Lady" and "Opera Singer", with the madam's name mentioned once and the opera singer's, from the beginning to the end, was never mentioned by name.
And so, Miss S, set the lady, named Ling Yao; and the opera singer, named Mei Lan.
At this birthday banquet held in the morning, Ling Yao sat beside the Eldest Young Lady and watched a woman in red on the stage, who was performing a play by Ying Ying, her singing voice was melodious, her body was dancing, her movements were inexpressibly beautiful and moving.
Ling Yao is a person who likes literature and arts, she had also heard this play, and heard it many times, but this was the first time she saw such a good singer, she couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and it was these few glances that made the First Young Lady see it, so she said,
“What is the reason why my sister is looking at this opera singer so much?”
Ling Yao and this young lady were not on good terms, and she did not know why this person was asking her such a question, but she still answered honestly,
“I've seen this play many times in Shu, but I've never seen it sung so well, it's really a rare person, sister.”
The First Young Lady smiled, a look flickered in her eyes, as if she had not expected her concern to be so, and she said again,
“This is the pillar of the Lin Lang troupe, who has just come over from the North for a few days, but her reputation is very strong, and it is said that she has had as many as five guests.”
When the other ladies heard what was said over here, their hearts had long been filled with discontent with this opera singer, whom they had actually known for a long time, as their own husbands had spent much less time resting at home these days.
They had thought that their husbands were busy with military affairs, but at one point they felt something was wrong and asked the other underlings, only to learn that they had all run off to this new opera singer's side.
The women were not angry, but their husbands were in the mood for it, so they could not persuade them directly, lest they hurt the relationship between them.
At this time, seeing that the Second Young Lady Xiao, who seldom spoke out, had spoken up, and that she had the highest origin among all the ladies, they all looked at each other for a few moments, intending to put the matter on this lady and let her take the blame.
So, these ladies changed their posture from today's idle talk and began to chatter and sing about this woman's evil deeds, their words were so unpleasantly tight that Ling Yao's brow furrowed as she listened to their words.
Seeing her like this, the young lady thought her words had worked and smiled at the maid beside her, saying,
“Go and summon the opera singer who has just stepped down.”
The tone, disdainful and malicious, was like ordering a dog around.
Ling Yao was not clear about these ladies' intentions at the moment. She had just frowned because their words were too unpleasant for her, a woman who had been educated as a traditional woman since childhood, to bear.
She watched in a daze as these ladies sang and sang, then called for the opera singer.
Ling Yao looked at the woman who had taken off her makeup, and in keeping with the posture of a woman of the family, she didn't look at her face in depth and carefully, but only stared at her body seriously, thinking that this woman had a really good figure, and that a casual stand here made the heart feel tingly.
She was dumbfounded, while the other ladies, who had intended to watch the show, were not so happy.
How come Ling Yao is still on the outside looking in when all the people are there and the audience is here?
The eldest young lady still knows a few things about this sister-in-law; to put it bluntly, she is sour and has a bad brain.
Seeing that there was no point in standing around like this, she instructed Mei Lan,
“Raise your head.”
Mei Lan's body trembled at the words, and she looked up softly, with a look of fear and dread in her eyes, and although that face was certainly attractive, with such an expression, even the greatest interest was gone.
She was about to wave her hand to signal the person to stand down when Ling Yao spoke up. The ladies' spirits were shaken and they thought: Here it comes, here it comes, the good show is about to start, so this Xiao Er Shao is not brain-damaged, but just rather slow to react now.
As soon as Ling Yao's words hit the ground, Mei Lan's body trembled and she carefully raised her head to look at her, mumbling her lips as she asked,
“Lady, you called me, what do you want.”
Seeing her tender face, Ling Yao couldn't help but ask,
“I wonder how old you are now?”
Mei Lan lowered her eyebrows and eyes and whispered,
“I am a young woman of sixteen years of age.”
Ah, sixteen years old, how young, to be so well practiced in opera at such a young age is considered talented.
With this in mind, the Lady took off the turquoise bracelet on her wrist and handed it to the maid at her side, her chin gesturing to her, and looked at Mei Lan.
Her maid had been by her side for many years and had grown up together, so naturally the relationship was not ordinary, and after all these years as master and servant, there was a certain tacit understanding.
When the maid saw this look on her face, she smiled and answered in the affirmative, walked down the steps and bestowed the jade bracelet on Mei Lan, saying with a smile on her face,
“Here, this is our lady's reward for you, take it.”
Mei Lan was puzzled, she was ready to be beaten, how could this lady not follow the usual rules, and gave her such a nice jade bracelet, it looked like it cost several thousand taels, enough to feed and drink for the rest of her life.
The other ladies, who had originally planned to watch a good show, almost fainted from anger at Ling Yao when they saw the situation.
The young lady's face stiffened as she said with a fake smile,
“What does this mean, sister?”
Ling Yao smiled gently and said,
“This opera singer is a good performer, the best I've ever seen. She is a talented girl, she is so young and has achieved so much, her future success will not be underestimated.”
The Eldest Lady: "......"
All the ladies: "......"
Mei Lan: "......"
Mei Lan stepped backwards and backed away with a mocking smile on her face, it was a scene that she had faced many times in the years since she had become famous, but this time, it came as a big surprise to her, a wicked grin on her lips.
She thought: This lady is really interesting, the wife of the second young master Xiao, the golden master who throws money around, they are similar as a couple, they are not stingy in mixing, It was so ...... irritating to watch, I wanted to take the warm expression on her face and break it to see how much more interesting it must be then.
"Cut," the director shouted, and the second act of the day was over. The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, as it was still very difficult to shoot in such a hot day, and when they saw the interval, they immediately retreated to the side, drinking water and fanning themselves.
Mei Mu Lan walked to the dressing room. Because of her friendship with Miss S, she was assigned a separate dressing room by the crew, but after considering the filming expenses, this dressing room, at the same time, was occupied by Ling Yi Yao, who is the most famous.
In a nutshell: they both share the same dressing room.
When Mei Mu Lan entered the room, Ling Yi Yao was wearing a white loincloth, tilting her head back and drinking mineral water.
Perhaps it was because of the haste with which she drank, the mellow droplets of water fell down her neck and into her clothes.
Thus, in the dressing room, in addition to a sound of drinking water, there was another sound of swallowing.
Ling Yi Yao gave Mei Mu Lan a lazy, seductive look with her eyes half-opened.
When she saw Mei Mu Lan's eyes glowing at her at this moment, she did not petrify herself as she had done before, but curled her lips into a light smile, and immediately after seeing this smile, as if she had received instructions, Mei Mu Lan pounced on her as soon as she could.
As a result, Ling Yiyao skillfully carried her in her hand and brought her down to stand by the corner.
Mei Mu Lan closed her eyes tightly, covered her chest with her hands and said,
“Come on, I knew this day would come sooner or later.”
As soon as she said that, she undid her top drawstring.
Ling Yi Yao: “……”
The pace stumbled, and it was true that she was still underestimated.

QTVW Chapter 25
Showbiz* Sexy Queen (XII)
----
After Mei Mu Lan was thrown out of the room by Ling Yi Yao, she turned around and looked at the closed door with a dark look in her eyes and said,
 “Then I'll come back tomorrow and we'll go to the set together. Ling Yi Yao, good night.”
 With that, she turned around and walked towards her villa.
 She came home and made some food for herself. After she had eaten, she was about to take a shower when she received a phone call from the old Mei family home, from the family's butler.
 The butler first exchanged pleasantries with her and chatted for a while about the recent daily routine, then said that the weather was turning warm and that it was easy to catch a cold and fever at the turn of the year, so she should take care of her health.
 When Mei Mu Lan heard this, her heart warmed and she replied to him, saying,
 “Butler Mei, you too, although you are still suave and elegant, but for the sake of your health, you should pay attention to the temperature and not the manners ah.”
 The butler on the other end of the phone smiled and talked about many more things before inadvertently mentioning one thing, he said,
 “Master went to an auction abroad a few days ago to make arrangements for the work of the relevant person in charge, he has returned home by plane this afternoon, if you are free, you can come home to see.”
 Mei Mu Lan had already had the intention of going home to meet Father Mei, and hearing this, she nodded and spoke into the phone,
 “I'll be back tonight, it'll take me about two or three hours, you tell them to eat first, don't wait for me.”
 It seemed that the butler didn't expect her to agree, and it took a moment for the caller to say,
 “That's right, there's no such thing as a bad blood between father and daughter, you're right to think so, miss,”
 Then with a relieved smile he hung up the phone.
 Mei Mu Lan's gaze fell on the phone, but her eyes were unfocused, she was just dazed and lost in thought.
 After a quick flash of the original owner's memories in her mind, she got up, went to her room to change into something more modest and drove back to the house.
 When she arrived home, Father Mei was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, while his stepmother was sitting beside him, sipping slowly from a cup of tea. Although Father Mei was sitting upright at the moment, it was clear from his absent-minded expression and the way he looked towards the door from time to time that he was waiting for someone, and at this moment, the only one who could arrive home was Mei Mu Lan.
 When Mei Mu Lan saw this scene, no matter what, her heart was still warmed, she thought for a moment then walked up to Father Mei and said in a soft voice,
 “Father, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you well these days?”
 When Father Mei heard this, he stared at her in a daze, he hadn't heard Mu Lan call him father for a long time, and it had been a long time since they had been this close to each other.
 So he rose to his feet and said excitedly,
 “Mu Lan, come with me, I have something to tell you.”
 With that he turned and walked forward, not even bothering to put down the newspaper in his hand.
 When her stepmother heard him speak in this way, her face immediately stiffened and the cup of tea she was holding in her hand began to shake unsteadily.
 Her gaze looked at Mei Mu Lan with hatred, then after a cold look from Mei Mu Lan, she lowered her head again, not daring to meet her eyes again. That previous period of living with Mei Mu Lan for a few months was a living hell for her for so many years, and she never wanted to deal with Mei Mu Lan again.
 So she turned her head away, silent and angry, and when Mei Mu Lan saw her act so childishly, she shook her head in some amusement, then turned to follow Father Mei's silhouette and went after him.
 Father Mei's emotions were unstable at this time, he had actually wanted to find an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart communication with his daughter for a long time, but he had never been able to find the opportunity before.
 He poured a lot of care and love into her, and after his wife's death, he always wanted a chance to talk to his daughter, but after he was forced to marry his current wife, now her stepmother, the relationship between him and his daughter was completely severed.
 His daughter moved out of the house and never came back to the place, and every time he saw her, she had an angry and hateful look on her face that made it completely impossible for him to look her in the eye.
 And just today, his daughter's attitude had clearly eased up, so he wanted to take this opportunity to tell her what he had been thinking all these years.
 He led Mei Mu Lan back to his study and then the two just sat face to face on the sofa, talking together in an equal manner.
 Father Mei said slowly, how much he had noticed and missed her over the years, and how supportive he was of her choice to enter the film industry, as well as some of his opinions. And finally,
 “The reason I married your stepmother before was not for love reasons, but for cooperation. After your mother's death, I had to deal with the oppression of the clan, and for some internal reasons, we as a family could not do without a matriarch, and after I had considered it for a long time, it occurred to me that, instead of looking for a shrewd and unknown woman, I should look for a woman, whom I knew the details of, and who was not very clever and who is not too smart.
 I heard from the butler that you have been living at home for a long time, and during this time, you have also been working against your stepmother. I believe that after this period of time, you should have a comprehensive understanding of your stepmother, she is actually a big-breasted and relatively simple person, very easy to control, that's why I, choose her as my wife. I hope you don't blame your father, it was a choice that had to be made.”
 Mei Mu Lan then knew that there was such a □□□□□, which was not in the original owner's memory, because the original owner had died long ago, and before her death, indeed, as Father Mei had said, their relationship was not very good, and the original owner was very hateful towards her father.
 She could feel that Father Mei had treated the original owner with sincerity, and since the original owner had long since passed away, it was she who now occupied this body, so she should also take on the responsibilities that come with this identity, including returning Father Mei's fatherly love.
 So she said to Father Mei,
 “I was young and ignorant and caused you a lot of trouble. Now that I know the truth, I hope you can forgive me for being so rash and ignorant.”
 After hearing this, Father Mei was very happy and he said with a smile,
 “As long as we can make up as father and daughter.”
 The relationship between father and daughter improved completely after this conversation.
 The father and daughter continued to talk about their latest situation and it was only after two hours or so, with a sleepy look on her father's face, that Mei Mu Lan got up to say goodbye and left.
 When she left her father's room, Mei Mu Lan took out her mobile phone to check the time and found that it was already after twelve o'clock at night, it was so late in the day that it would take another hour or two to drive back to the villa.
 So she chose to stay at home, after all, there was a room of her own here too, so she stopped walking outside and turned in the direction of her own room.
 Some distance into the walk, on approaching her room, she heard a muffled voice.
 The voice was familiar, but the tone was unmistakably eerie.
 Curiosity rose and she slowly walked towards the origin of the sound. When she got there, she saw a public washroom, a place reserved for the guests of the Mei family, and how could anyone be here at this late hour?
 She was puzzled and went to the corner, looked there and saw Bai Jieying in a white dress in front of the mirror, she was facing the mirror at the moment, the mirror showed a condensed and gloomy face, the face belonged to Bai Jieying, but the expression was indescribably strange, full of resentment and hatred, completely different from the usual Bai Jieying.
 It's like - a different person.
 With a shock in her heart, Mei Mu Lan busily pushed herself into the shadow area and hid in a corner where Bai Jieying could not see her, and waited until after a while, that eerie accent reappeared.
 From where Mei Mu Lan was standing, she could only see Bai Jieying in the mirror, and seeing the strange woman in the mirror, she slowly spoke,
 “We had previously agreed that I would help you achieve your heart's desire and in return you would offer me your soul and life, what, now you regret it?”
 Mei Mu Lan frowned as a bold guess came to her mind, the woman who was speaking now, couldn't be the one who had crossed over, could she?
 After her words fell to the ground, another voice sounded, still the same tone in fact, but with a world of difference in emphasis.
 Bai Jieying's voice was tinged with urgency and anxiety as she said,
 “I regret it, I don't want to give my body to you just to a scum and bitchy woman who has wronged me. I can't accept your methods, I don't want to breathe under different men and women, get out of this body for me.”
 The woman in the mirror suddenly smiled again, and she said,
 “The agreement has been made, don't you think it's too late to regret it now? Even if you regret it now, it's too late. I'm the one who uses this body most of the time now, so feel free to let your soul dissipate, and I will do what I promise, I swear by my name, Shu Yinge.”
 Bai Jieying's eyes snapped open after hearing these words, she lost the use of her body before she could speak again, after half a minute the traveler entered Bai Jieying's body again, she straightened her clothes in the mirror and then walked towards the front door with a light smile, she had to meet Miss S tonight and it would not be good to be late.
 Only when Bai Jieying's footsteps were far away did Mei Mu Lan turn around with a frown, return to her room and dart to **.
 After what happened this evening, she was enlightened.
 The traveler was given the right to use the body by agreement, so if she killed Bai Jieying directly, it would only be the original Bai Jieying who would die, while the soul of the traveler in question could not say whether it would die or leave this body and go inside another body.
 In that case, it seems that the traveler will only be truly resolved if the soul consciousness of the traveler is crushed.
  【"Ding", congratulations to host Mu Lan for understanding the true meaning of "solving the travelers", as a reward, the system opens the traveler identification device and starts to use it immediately.】
 【Identification system in effect, identification content: The traveler of this world, named Shu Yinge, is a third-grade film actor from the Blue Star of the Galactic Plane, famous for making third-grade films and enjoying a high reputation on the Blue Star. Midway through her career as a film star, she quit the tertiary film industry and turned to film, appearing in a number of blockbusters and becoming the new queen of Blue Star.】
 【Shu Yinge was a superb actress, but was in trouble because after she became famous for making films, she was approached by more and more big bosses who threw money at her, and was eventually chopped up and killed by her own boss's wife. After death, the soul's resentment could not dissipate, and after the accidental breakage of the virtual space-time, it took advantage of the broken passage and entered the virtual space-time, becoming Bai Jieying.】
 【The reason why the system was solving her: she killed Ling Yi Yao at the late stage of becoming the Shadow Queen, causing the space-time to be disturbed and the world to collapse after three years, killing thousands of living beings, breaking the laws of virtual space-time and being disposed of by the virtual space-time administrator with soul destruction.】
 【Host Mu Lan has received a new mission, the mission content: destroy the traveler Shu Yinge. May host Mu Lan complete the mission soon.】
  After listening to the voice in her head, Mei Mu Lan immediately frowned, puzzled in her heart: why would the traveler killing Ling Yi Yao cause the virtual space-time to collapse? Who the hell is Ling Yi Yao? What does it have to do with virtual time and space?
 Why, in virtual time and space, is it necessary to formulate tasks for system administrators to raid villainous bosses?
 There were too many doubts, and Mei Mu Lan could not think of a reason even if she thought about it, so she stopped dwelling on it and turned to thinking about how to destroy the souls of the traveler.
 After she became a movie queen, she didn't really want to go back to her old life, but in order to continue on this path in the acting world, she had to commit herself to doing what she didn't want to do under the bosses of various acting companies.
 This traveler's soul is not considered a complete Shu Yinge, but only an amalgamation of Shu Yinge's grievances.
 To resolve a cloud of resentment, one would be to impress her with good thoughts, which are not suitable for one's own use;
 And the other simple and brutal way is to defeat her completely.
 Mei Mu Lan does not know how to defeat her completely, but she knows how to make Bai Jieying return to her body, that is to hinder the progress of the travelers' mission. One of her agreements with Bai Jieying is to help her, to stand at the top of the entertainment industry and become the queen of all movies.
 The other agreement is to take revenge on the scum and the best friend and make them regret it.
 After thinking about it, Mei Mu Lan planned to throw the scum and her best friend to a corner first, where Bai Jieying couldn't find them. The world was so big, it wasn't an easy thing to find two people, let alone someone deliberately obstructing her.
 The other way to thwart Bai Jieying is to take her time in planning. Fortunately, she has collected a lot of videos and pictures of Bai Jieying before, and they are all pictures of her walking out of the hotel with different men in the middle of the night.
 However, releasing it just like that would not achieve a shocking effect, and she would have to wait patiently for a suitable time to do so.
 The next day, after reporting to the set of 《Love in a Fallen City》, Mei Mu Lan went to ask Miss S to help her out.
 She told Miss S about the original owner's conflict with Bai Jieying, but Miss S, after learning about it, instead smiled badly and said,
 “I've spent so many nights with her, and she's made me so comfortable, I couldn't let her go, if……”
 She paused and looked teasingly at Mei Mu Lan.
 Mei Mu Lan looked at her coldly and said,
 “Then I'll get Aunt Wen and ask her to talk to you.”
 Miss S's face turned hard as she grunted when she heard the words,
 “I really don't know if I owe you mother and daughter in a previous life, one or two of you are using Wen Xueluo to threaten me, all right, hurry up and get out of my sight or I'll regret it.”
 Mei Mu Lan was originally only thinking about it, but she didn't expect it to work so well, she smiled cheekily and said,
 “Thank you so much Auntie, you are so kind!”
 With that, she left with a cheerful smile.
 Leaving Miss S, stamping her feet in place and gritting her teeth.
 Sure enough, on the third day, after the casting results for 《Love in a Fallen City》came out, there was no Bai Jieying's name on it. After reading the display board, Mei Mu Lan glanced at Bai Jieying and saw her pale face and stiff expression at that moment, and sighed in her heart: I sympathise with you too, but if the task is not completed, it will be me who dies.
 Given the option of either you die or I die, she had to choose her.
 After the casting results came out, Mei Mu Lan had one less thing on her mind and a sigh of relief in her heart. Instead, with a flourish, she took out five million from the bank and gave it to the scum and her best friend, using threats and enticements to force them out of the country and out of sight.
 During that time, Aunt Wen returned from abroad and gave Mei Mu Lan a call. The two of them talked for more than three hours, and Mei Mu Lan incidentally told Aunt Wen about Miss S's return to China to make a film.
 After listening, Aunt Wen was silent for a long time, and only when Mei Mu Lan asked worriedly did she say,
 “Miss S, was a friend of your mother and I. The three of us grew up together, and your mother was the oldest and gentle in nature, so she was our big sister.
 Miss S, on the other hand, is the youngest and the most arrogant and capricious, so she is our little sister. We had a good relationship back then, but something happened in the middle of it, so ...... your mother married your father and Miss S went abroad.
 But since she's back home, it means that she's forgotten about what happened back then, which is a good thing. Miss S is very serious about her work, so you have to listen to her, okay?”
 Mei Mu Lan replied,
 “O, I know, I'll do as she asks, thank you Auntie Wen.”
 “It's fine.”
 Aunt Wen hung up the phone and searched for Miss S's phone number from eight years back, and then, after a long, long hesitation, dialed the number there.
 This number, which is seven or eight years old, was inadvertently given to her at the time and she never thought she would actually be able to dial it.
 After a phone tone, the call was answered and a familiar voice came through, in a tone that had never been colder, and she said,
 “Who is it?”
 “……”
 When the call was answered, Aunt Wen was silent, she didn't know what she wanted to say and was about to hang up when a scolding voice came from the other side, saying,
 “Damn, Wen Xueluo, you psycho, calling and not making a sound, you're dumb, right? I'm telling you, ......”
 Aunt Wen couldn't help but laugh when she heard the familiar scolding accent, then said,
 “Cheapskate, I'm Wen Xueluo ......”
 “……”
 Miss S on the other end of the phone was choking in general, unable to say a word, she deflated her mouth and secretly cut out a cry of contempt!

QTVW Chapter 24
Showbiz* Sexy Queen (XI)
----
After Mei Mu Lan hung up the phone, she opened the webpage and searched for the novel 《Love in a Fallen City》.
As mentioned in the plot, Bai Jieying, a newcomer to the industry, became a sensation after appearing in this controversial film.
And just now Miss S called, informing her to go to Ling's Group tomorrow, the entertainment company's drama team for an audition.
This coincided with her intentions, so she opened the pages of the novel now, and carefully read through, the subject of the novel is lesbianism, 《Love in a Fallen City》.
Love in a Fallen City, a novel set in the early Republic of China; The story takes place in Hangzhou, an ancient water town; The protagonist of the story is the wife of the second son of the local warlord Xiao Sheng Yan.
The wife of the Major, who was a second generation warlord along with her husband, was of noble birth. She is the ninth daughter of Ling Ye Chong, the warlord of the southwest region, and the only legitimate daughter among Ling Ye Chong's 18 daughters. A much higher status than her other sisters.
Although the two Xiao Ling families were married out of interest, the newlyweds were a good match for each other.
And the her husband who is a Major, the second son of Xiao Shi Yan, was a dashing and suave-looking man who fought heroically and was, by all accounts, a wonderful man.
But naturally, such a man has a downside: he is lustful and likes to abuse his partner.
This hobby of Xiao Er Shao's was harmless to the society of the time.
And when he was confronted with the wife of the famous Major, he could not lay hands on her out of love and reason.
Therefore, he left the lady cold and spent many years in the company of playboys and prostitutes, which made her cold to him.
The story opens with the lady sitting on a carved wooden stool, wearing a goose-yellow antique dress and a wooden face as she allows her maid to do her make-up.
Listening to the maid's report of Xiao Er Shao's whereabouts in her ears, like,
“The young master has gone drinking again today,”
“The young master has played with his hands again today,”
“The young master is throwing his money away again today for a 'thing',”……
The lady looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror, the flowery beauty in it, but now her heart was as dry as a half-hundred-year-old woman's.
A young girl, as young as a flower, is tortured by this feudal society and has lost her vitality.
And it was on such early mornings as these for three years that the maid mentioned a woman, a beauty much loved by her own husband, a singing opera singer of unclean origins.
She smiled softly as she listened to the hilarity and said,
“The right way to be a wife is not to be jealous or afraid. I don't blame my husband for being sentimental, he's at that age, he loves to play, so let him go, it's just a thing. If he likes it, he can take it into his house and no one can say a word against it. All right, it's almost time to go and pay my respects to the old lady, let's go.”
The 'thing' that the lady refers to is the other female lead in the story, the lover with whom the lady is entangled for life.
The story shifts perspective to a woman in a large red costume behind a noisy theater stage in the downtown area, now holding a black ink pencil and tracing narrow eyeliner for herself.
The troupe master beside her also muttered to her about this young man who had been so generous recently.
She listened unconcernedly, her hands flowing with makeup, and when she heard the troupe master mention the man's wife, the woman finally felt a little different emotion.
She smiled lightly and said,
“The woman in such a deep house is most uninteresting. From what you are saying, this Major's wife is not a small person. But even if she is the daughter of the Emperor, she is nothing more than a plaything for men to hold in their hands. We are both women, but one is a high-class prostitute and the other a slightly lower class.
I hope this young lady will not be like those ladies before her who could not control their own men and went after men's women, which is really annoying.”
Two women responding very differently to the same incident.
One is as cool as an immortal, the other is as feminine as a demon.
It left a little mark on each other's hearts, so much so that when they first met later, they couldn't help but feel close to each other.
The lady relieves the theater's chastising punishment for the ladies, and the theater's son settles the city's ruffians for the lady; two seemingly worlds apart, and so they cross paths.
One is the wife of a noble and noble family Major, and the other is a lowly opera singer who is trampled on by others. They experience the sweetness of meeting, knowing, companioning, cherishing and loving each other, and the pain of clinging, thinking, remembering and wanting to say goodbye.
Because of the difference in their status, they could only see each other a few times a year, and the rest of the time they were in brocade, but this forbidden love affair brought both of them to life.
The lady refuses to share her bed with Xiao Er Shao for this reason, and is treated coldly by her husband's family, making her life worse every day.
The opera singer refused to share a bed with a wealthy guest for this reason and was tortured by the troupe, in a state of wretchedness worse than death.
Finally, the women decide that they will do something shocking, and that is to elope together and settle down to farm in the opera singer's hometown.
They looked forward to a bright future with each other and each escaped their shackles one winter's day, but the very moment they escaped to embrace each other, both parties sent someone after them.
Xiao Er Shao's face turned blue when he saw the two embracing each other.
How could he let them go when one was his legitimate wife and the other was a opera singer whom he truly loved and now, they were together, making him the laughing stock of everyone?!
He ordered the underlings of the Xiao Family, and took the lady back by force, while the opera singer was beaten alive with sticks by the underlings.
Blood stained the clean white snow, splattered out like cold winter plums, falling and falling, bodies left unmanaged and finally bones.
When the lady learned of this incident, she went mad, but begged for death and was severely tortured by Xiao Er Shao.
She spent every day and night alone in a cold, crumbling house, begging for her life and unable to die.
Until she met the opera singer in red, pale and with crimson lips, a month later on a bloody night, when she winked at her and babbled and sang a soft song under her breath.
Towards the end of the song, her flirtatious phoenix eyes, moist with moisture, stared at her as she said to her,
“Cease to be like this and live.”
The Major's wife began to regain her senses, and because she herself was of noble birth, the people of the Xiao Family couldn't just club her to death like they did with the opera singer, but had to go out of their way to cover up and pretend that the incident had never happened.
The Major's wife, a woman from the deep house of yore, but different again from before, has an additional female ghost in red in her room.
When no one is around, they will snuggle, they will compose songs together, they will be in love.
Doing all the things that lovers everywhere, would do.
Until Xiao suffered defeat, all Xiao's men died in battle, the revolutionary army defeated the warlords and stragglers broke into Xiao's residence.
The ladies live in a trance, rejecting the reality of the Xiao House's decay, while the servants carry their bags and scurry around for their lives.
Once again the Lady sat in front of the mirror, an unseen hand, holding a brush, tracing gently over her pale face.
From top to bottom, the inky eyebrows, the slightly powdered blush and the sweet red lips are a living example of a pretty girl from back in the day.
The lady smiled lightly and changed into a red dress, and the house burned naturally with no one in the second young lady's room in the Xiao residence.
Under the bright flames, a beautiful woman in red can be clearly seen, wrapping her arms around a woman in a long goose yellow dress, slowly swaying and dancing, embracing each other intimately and kissing deeply.
The story ends with excerpts from the novel. Written is:
From a family dinner in spring, one plays out life and death on stage, while the other dresses up as a virtuous wife offstage.
By the cold night of the ninth month, one was intercepted by a domestic servant inside the fence and the other was brutally beaten to death outside the fence.
In the old theater, a woman's watery sleeves danced and her feet moved; a woman's mouth smiled and her feelings were deep. To look at each other is to have no regrets about true love.
Mei Mu Lan's eyes were dazed, emotionally trapped in the story, unable to pull out of it for several days.
She closed the webpage and lay back** with her eyes closed, a story like this, it did hit home, Miss S's writing was excellent, she really wrote this story from an outsider's point of view.
In her writing, each person is portrayed vividly, and a scene of the Republic leaps into the reader's mind.
She doesn't stand up for the state and try to put a sacred veil on this fringe romance; she simply depicts a story that feels like an event that actually happened in the Republic.
In the midst of the Republic, when times were up and down and in turmoil**, everything changed, but only the relationship between the lady and the opera singer remained the same.
They experience great sorrow, great joy, great ups and downs, and every chapter of the story depicts the cold reality.
But, near the end, she recounts the transformation of the opera singer into a ghost, and the novel after this describes the happy life between them.
But, unfortunately, everyone else in the story, and the readers outside of it, all know that the opera singer may be a figment of the Lady's imagination after she has gone mad.
But, it is this plausible description, punctuated by joy against sorrow, that gives the story an unconventional and sublime ending.
The happiness visible in the story, at the end when the two are buried in the fire, the reader's heart unconsciously breathes a sigh of relief for the Lady, thinking: at last it is over, at least the Lady thinks they are living together.
The opera singer at the end paints the lady's make-up and she smiles in the light of the fire, sharing a poignant ending.
A lady in a large courtyard, deprived of the freedom of her body and firmly imprisoned by feudal society; a lowly opera singer in the marketplace, deprived of the freedom of her mind and oppressed by those around her every day.
These are two ordinary women who lived in that particular era, representing two classes.
The women under such oppression fall in love and their lives are rejuvenated, giving rise to the most sincere love, but this emotion meets with social barriers and ends up as a tragedy rather than joy, leaving the reader with a shocking and sorrowful ending.
Mei Mu Lan took a few deep breaths to ease her mind and she began to think calmly.
The novel is about to be turned into a far-reaching film, and in the plot of the novel, it is mentioned that Bai Jieying ends up as the lady in the 《Love in a Fallen City》, while Ling Yi Yao becomes the opera singer in it.
And now, with her ambition for the film, then, after considering her own strengths, she chose to go for the role of the opera singer.
And the next morning, she went to the place where Miss S had agreed.
By the time she arrived on set, the crew had already begun auditions and she was greeted, taken straight to Miss S and then dragged off to have her make-up applied.
This was followed by an ethnic opera which she sang in front of many invested parties.
Her fluent singing voice, vivid expressions and agile figure overwhelmed everyone in the audience in a flash. And she was successfully selected to be an acting actress within the cast of the play.
Mui Mu Lan had been made to look like a fool today by Miss S. By the time she got back to her senses, she heard the news that she had been selected and she grinned broadly with excitement.
After verbally thanking Miss S, she immediately returned to Jiangnan Town, where she knocked on the door and walked into Ling Yi Yao's villa to tell Ling Yi Yao the good news that she had been chosen as an opera singer.
After hearing this, Ling Yi Yao had a strange expression on her face, and under Mei Mu Lan's persistent questioning, she replied,
“Congratulations, Miss Mei, at the same time. Your co-star in this film, unfortunately, is me.”
Mei Mu Lan understood the meaning of her words and immediately jumped up and said,
“Great, you're playing the role of the Major's wife, aren't you? The casting people had a good eye, they could tell right away that we were a couple.”
Ling Yi Yao: “……”
Suddenly, Mei Mu Lan covered her mouth in shyness as she stared at Ling Yi Yao, her eyes cooing and darting about.
Ling Yi Yao suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and she had an ominous feeling.
Sure enough, Mei Mu Lan said 'shyly' in the next moment,
“Oh, it's written that they did this and that, and the opera singer did this and that to the lady, so I can do that to you too, come on, don't be shy, let's rehearse this and that so we don't get rusty when we're acting.”
Ling Yi Yao: “……” Lifting Mei Mu Lan's collar with one hand, she threw her out the door.

QTVW Chapter 23
Showbiz* Sexy Queen (X)
----
In the end, it was Ling Tianye who came to the rescue and opened a celebrity cocktail party on the top floor of the hotel, so the director happily took the crew to the cocktail party for a meal.
The crowd: "......" really shouldn't have any hope for the world's most stingy director.
The crowd moved on to the location and once they had taken the lift to the top floor, they were greeted with a wide selection of fine food on one side;
On the other side, an elegant international art orchestra plays music that is bright and pleasing to the ears.
The guests at the reception, who were all dressed in evening gowns, were a little uncomfortable with the casual clothes they were wearing, but when they looked at the calmness of the director's face, they immediately discarded the image and went on to do other things.
Mei Mu Lan walked to the food area, picked up a plate, forked a piece of cake and ate it slowly. She was acting like she was taking advantage of the situation, but she just wanted to be angry with the director. After she crossed over to this world, she ate almost every meal with good taste and high prices.
She was wearing a close-fitting knee-length dress at the moment, her face unpowdered, eating cake slowly and gracefully, only so lightly, but attracting the attention of many, many people at the reception.
Unconcerned by the looks of these people, she turned to lean against the wall and watched Bai Jieying, led by Ling Tianye, meet many flamboyant people, who she had been paying divided attention to for the past six months, finding a few usable points of information between the signs and traces.
For one thing, this traveler is such a superb actress that it is obvious that she is either an actress or in a special profession;
Secondly, the traveler has a strong taste for the world and is able to play with all kinds of men; her background should not be pure;
Thirdly, the traveler has refined tastes and can be seen to have been educated in relevant areas;
Fourthly, the traveler is well-handled and is able to do it all on her own when she is in the cast and acting in martial arts scenes.
In summary, Mei Mu Lan has a few guesses as to the identity of this traveler, but as to her exact identity, she will have to wait to continue to observe for some time before she can come to a conclusion.
As for the "hidden task - solving the travelers" in the system, Mei Mu Lan thought of murdering her.
But if it were really that simple, the Virtual Time Master System would not need, at all, to set up administrators like her to enter the virtual world and perform tasks.
The hidden mission, solving the travelers, should have a deeper meaning. She just didn't understand it yet, so she couldn't do anything rash at the moment, she had to wait until she, herself, understood the true meaning of the mission before she could do anything to solve it.
As Mei Mu Lan thought of this, her thoughts once again came to a standstill and she shook her head off, her gaze falling on Ling Yi Yao.
The film 《The Burial Man》was finished, and according to her plan, it was time to move next, Mei Mu Lan thought to herself: The first thing I need to do is pack my bags tonight and move there early tomorrow morning. According to the plot, Ling Yi Yao has already moved into this villa, so she must make some big noise to get Ling Yi Yao's attention for this move.
So thinking, she suddenly remembered Father Mei. That said, during the time she stayed at home, the original owner's father had been away.
The butler once overheard that Father Mei was going to participate in a large auction in Europe for six months, so she guess he would be going home in the next two days.
In fact, Mei Mu Lan does not hate this man, Father Mei is still a wise and fair man in many ways, except that he insisted on marrying this childhood friend.
But he was a shrewd man with a sharp mind, and as mentioned in the novel, after the original owner's death, Father Mei aged by more than ten years in an instant, and he really had feelings for the original owner. And immediately after the original owner's funeral, he handed over all the big and small affairs of the Mei family to the Mei butler to handle, and on the same day, he announced the news that the Mei butler had become the new patriarch of the Mei family.
Even when her stepmother pleads, he does not change his mind, showing that he does not let his feelings sway his mind.
In that case, Father Mei was still worth getting close to, Mei Mulan thought, and perhaps she could talk to him when he returned.
The accidental death of the original owner's mother, the death of the original owner in an 'accidental' car accident, and the fact that Mei Mu Lan does not mention it does not mean that she has forgotten about it.
After observing her stepmother, she came to the conclusion that the original owner's mother's death, the original owner's death by poisoning, and her stepmother, should have nothing to do with each other. Because the stepmother was a rather idiotic person, with little intelligence or fighting ability, and only had a mouth that didn't allow people to get away with it, such a person was the easiest to deal with. Of course, we can't rule out that it was the stepmother who acted too well and fooled her.
So, assuming it wasn't the stepmother, why was the original owner poisoned at the college graduation party? And why was the car destroyed?
This poisoner must have known the original owner's temperament well enough to know that the original owner would drive onto the highway and look for Ling Yi Yao after she had lost her mind in a drunken stupor.
Mei Mu Lan searched around among the people the original owner knew, but in the end, she still couldn't get a clue.
Everything is hidden in the darkness, dimly lit.
Mei Mu Lan could only sip her wine helplessly and focus her attention on the reception.
Her eyes casually scanning the entire venue, then she felt a blazing sight and she frowned as she looked over to see a woman with semi-long hair and an elegant tight black dress, picking up a glass of wine and walking over.
This woman, with her pale skin against the black dress, is as fair as can be.
The eyes are dark, extremely dark, and give an eerie sense of dread when looking at people.
She looks like she is in her forties, but her wrinkle-free face makes her look as if she is in her twenties again.
A peculiar woman, Mei Mu Lan defined.
This woman walked over, strong emotions welling up in her deep dark eyes. She approached slowly, her posture elegant, and she spoke, her voice husky like a man's, as she said,
"Mu Lan, hello."
Mei Mu Lan showed a puzzled expression and asked,
"Who are you ......? I haven't seen you before."
The woman smiled lightly, a deep dimple at the corner of her mouth, looking playful and cute, making it even more impossible for Mei Mu Lan to tell the person's age.
She continued hoarsely,
"I'm a friend of your mother's, I've lived in America before and only returned a few days ago, you look a lot like your mother, is she okay now?"
It turned out to be a friend of the original owner's mother, and it dawned on her,
"Hello auntie, my mother, she, passed away four years ago."
The woman's face was stunned for a moment, then the smile on her face deepened as she let out a feigned sigh and suddenly asked an unrelated question as she said,
"Is Wen Xueluo okay now?"
Wen Xueluo is Aunt Wen, it seems they all know each other, Mei Mu Lan doesn't like this woman much, so she drops her eyebrows and says in a nonchalant tone,
"Aunt Wen is very nice and looks ...... very young."
The woman froze again, then she smiled even more and said,
"You're funny, you're much better than your mother, first time we've met, introductions, I'm Seven, you can call me Miss S."
This time it was Mei Mu Lan's turn to freeze, Miss S?!
Of course Mei Mu Lan knows Miss S. This lady, the writer and screenwriter of 《Love in a Fallen City》, a long-time overseas patriot, a well-known writer specializing in fringe literature, domestic and international, the most awarded female author of literary awards.
She smiled deeply and said,
"I have long admired Miss S' name, but I didn't expect you to be my mother's friend.”
Miss S hooked her lips into a smile, her originally ordinary and common appearance actually had a seductive charm after she smiled lightly and deeply like this.
She moved closer, leaning close to Mei Mu Lan, she exhaled softly, her nostrils blazing, hitting Mei Mu Lan's neck as she said,
"We will meet again, and when we do, I look forward to it, you will lie in my *** and be naked with me."
Mei Mu Lan had black lines, but on this occasion she couldn't push her away, she could only take a step back herself and lean against the wall, she teased,
"Auntie, being so old, this kind of thing is not for you anymore, be careful of twisting your old back."
Miss S laughed merrily, then took a step back and turned to walk away, and by the time she had taken five steps away, she turned back and said,
"Tsk, Mu Lan, take a word of advice from your aunt and watch out for Wen Xueluo! Haha, I''ll see you in a month."
Mei Mu Lan was stunned and turned to think: this mission world is really a universal yuri, did she have an accepting face? How come everyone likes to be imposing and talk in her ear.
By the way, why didn't Ling Yi Yao do that, she was looking forward to it, ah. She resentfully searched for Ling Yi Yao's back, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find her, and she wondered, when did this woman leave? Strange.
Early the next morning, Mei Mu Lan left the Mei family's home with her luggage, rounded off with the keys to her new villa, and drove to the Jiangnan Town area.
She was halfway down the road when she started honking her car horn in defiance of her image, and it's a good thing the villas in the area hadn't been sold yet, or someone would have sued her for disturbing the public.
Two minutes after she pressed the button, a security guard appeared in front of her car as if he had fallen from the sky and raised his hand to stop her,
"Please keep quiet. Civilisation depends on you, on me, on everyone."
Mei Mu Lan: "......" This odd security guard, where did you find him.
Mei Mu Lan swept her eyes around and found that the villa just two metres behind her was Ling Yi Yao's residence, and two metres in front of her, was her residence.
So she blinked and discharged,
"Uncle Security, I can't find my villa, can you take me there?"
The guard grimaced and replied,
"I'm sorry, I'm only 19 years old and I can't be your uncle. Also, I'm only responsible for the safety of the residents, not the part of giving directions."
Mei Mu Lan: "......"
Mei Mu Lan blinked, took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, opened the car door, stepped out of the car and said,
“I know, I was blinded just now, so this house is my villa, well, I found it, now you are not needed here."
The security guard, with a paralyzed face, said,
"Excuse me, please park your car in a fixed position and do not obstruct the passage of others, thank you for your cooperation."
Mei Mu Lan: "......"
Ling Yi Yao, who was leaning against the window watching: "......" suddenly felt like the sun was shining and the birds were singing, and the mood was so relaxing.
As she faced Mei Mu Lan speechless and a thousand times over, the scene dropped off and actually looked so amusing. Maybe she could call the head of Jiangnan Town today and ask him to arrange for this little security guard to be promoted.
Mei Mu Lan drove into the garage with a wooden face, and it was only when she stepped out of the garage and into the courtyard of the villa that the security guard left at ease.
Mei Mu Lan: "......" What is this indescribable feeling of fuckery? Can I call and complain to the person in charge of Jiangnan Town about the replacement?
Anyway, now that she is living next door to Ling Yi Yao, she will wait until the evening to take the neighbourhood love dessert and go over and fake-slut (really seduce), her future neighbour for good.
With this in mind, Mei Mu Lan revived from the spot and opened the door with the key in high spirits.
Ling Yi Yao, "Suddenly I feel so cold, the weather has cooled down? It's just March now, strange."
As night fell, Mei Mu Lan put on a light trench coat, carrying a plate of cupcakes, and walked to the door of Ling Yi Yao's villa. After she straightened her face to ensure that her facial muscles could perfectly portray her mood, she knocked regularly on the door**, and then the door opened, and Ling Yi Yao, wearing a short shirt and grey jeans, opened the door, with an expression on her face that said: You've finally come.
There are a few meaningful moments of looking beyond the horizon.
Mei Mu Lan immediately showed herself stunned, shocked, jolted, and then haughty with a smile as she said, "...... Hey, don't go." You haven't seen my expression, it's a waste of acting.
The moment Ling Yi Yao opened the door, she turned and walked away, leaving a forlorn Mei Mu Lan shivering at the door.
Ling Yi Yao walked over to the sofa and sat down, pointed to the sofa opposite and said,
"Close the door and come and sit down."
Mei Mu Lan immediately doggedly closed the door and pounced ...... on her.
Ling Yi Yao looked at her, narrowing her eyes with such a hint of danger as she asked in a slow and profound tone,
"Why are you, sitting, on, my lap."
That's right, what was happening was that Mei Mu Lan, without any delay, pounced on Ling Yi Yao's body, her thighs pressed against her thighs, their chests against their chests, their noses against their noses.
Mei Mu Lan covered her face with a shy face and said,
"Oh, nasty, it was you who said you wanted me to sit over here, so I sat over here."
Ling Yi Yao: "......"
Ling Yi Yao picked up Mei Mu Lan with one hand, opened the door of the room while the other party was still imagining various plays, and threw her out with one hand.
Mei Mu Lan: "......" This is too fierce, isn't it?
It was Mei Mu Lan who wrote on Weibo that night: My goddess is a little arrogant and a little violent, tossing people around and sweating profusely, and they are now aching all over.
She is looking forward to the expression on Ling Yi Yao's face when she sees this tweet one day in the future, it must be very emotional.
For the rest of the day, it was a daily routine of Mei Mu Lan to go to Ling Yi Yao's house, then within five minutes, she was thrown out again by Ling Yi Yao with one hand, then she went to Ling Yi Yao's house again, then was thrown out again.
The days were very sweet and kudos must be given.
Then one afternoon, Mei Mu Lan, who was planning to clean herself up and have her mind in various plays, received a call from Miss S.

QTVW Chapter 22
Showbiz* Sexy Queen (IX)
The director gave the crew a day off to prepare their luggage and by midday on the third day, the crew chartered a plane to Kunlun Mountain.
After a series of plane rides, car rides, truck rides and cattle rides, the crew finally arrived at the location chosen by the director in a state of disarray.
The director chose a location relatively close to the mountains because the setting of the novel 《The Burial Man》is in the mountains of Kunlun, after all, the safety of the crew had to be taken into consideration and they could not really go into the deep forest.
After considering the cost and time it would take to build a place to live, the director chose to go to a nearby village of a thousand people and share a house with the villagers.
However, for various reasons, such as safety, number of people and emotions, it is necessary to share a house with several people so that they can take care of each other.
After the director told the crew about the decision, Mei Mu Lan immediately looked at him with glowing eyes and raised her chin to point at Ling Yi Yao who was standing with her back to them.
Then she turned her head, her eyes locked firmly on his, the look so long and intriguing that the director shivered, practically shuddering.
These days, after months of living together, the director has long recognized Mei Mu Lan's nature, and even though he still sees her with a charming and lovely face, he just can't feel the slightest bit of aesthetic appeal.
Instead, he immediately recalled that when Mei Mu Lan was looking at Ling Yi Yao, her wolf-like eyes were green and oozing with power.
And Ling Yi Yao is Ling Tianye's niece, the director and Ling Tianye are childhood friends growing up together, they have a very good relationship.
He also has a big brother-like care and closeness to the delicate and tiny little Ling Yi Yao.
The director said in his heart: A dead friend is not a poor friend, Ling Yi Yao, this is the peach blossom you have attracted, go and enjoy yourself!
It is said that if you get in the way of a relationship, you will be kicked by a donkey, and for the sake of his own life, the director said in a serious and very solemn manner,
“At the village headman's house, the people staying together are me and the photographer, and the people staying in the second are ......
The nineteenth family, the people that will stay together are Ling Yi Yao and Mei Mu Lan, ah, this villager's room is smaller and can't squeeze more people in, so it's just you two sharing a room.
OK, the next family, is ......”
The director finished reading out his arrangement with a sweaty face, feeling like his back was about to be pierced by Ling Yi Yao's stern gaze.
He ignored the hot and condensed eyes behind him and quickly disappeared at the end of the crowd, gloating as he thought: I can't handle Yao Yao, but there's always someone who can handle you now, right?
Seeing that the stare was ineffective and that the outcome was already decided, Ling Yi Yao did not struggle any more and went to the villager's house at the end of the village, carrying her luggage with her.
Mei Mu Lan immediately followed, her face smiling brightly, almost blinding passers-by.
Mei Mu Lan said,
“Ling Yi Yao, we're actually moving in together, ow, I feel my heart beating violently, what about you what about you? Don't worry, I will treat you well and I will be gentle.”
Ling Yi Yao's habitual woodenness: “……”
I don't want to know why it sounds so strange and colorful coming from you when we are just living together.
The two settled into a room in the villagers' house. Ling Yi Yao refused to share a bed with Mei Mu Lan and slept on the sofa.
She also performed her standard of wood chopping in front of Mei Mu Lan when she was admonished.
Mei Mu Lan looked at the neatly arranged firewood of exactly the same length and size, and suddenly felt pain all over her body.
She swallowed and consoled herself by thinking: After all, we're under the same roof, so we just need to brush up on Ling Yiyao's goodwill.
It's not quite working yet, but it's a good idea.
After more than three months of filming in the Kunlun Mountains, the crew of 《The Burial Man》had only completed about half of their shooting tasks, which was much slower than the director's expectation of completing them in four months.
The weather here is really bad, like a child's temper, sometimes it's windy and sometimes it rains, sometimes it's windy and sunny one minute, the next minute it's cloudy and overcast, this makes it impossible for the crew to shoot normally, so they have to take the time to shoot when the weather is good, and when it turns cloudy, the whole crew takes a break.
Because of this, filming has slowed down.
And whenever it was a cloudy day when the crew took a break, Ling Yi Yao would leave Mei Mu Lan's sight and go and stay somewhere else.
But it didn't really work, because no matter where she went, Mei Mu Lan would eventually find her and look at her with a smile and arched eyebrows, a little haughty expression, like a child who had gotten away with a prank, with all her emotions showing straight on her face.
Ling Yi Yao noticed that Mei Mu Lan's eyes were beautiful, round and narrow, clear and spiritual, and when she saw her, her eyes would immediately open wide in surprise, full of her.
Ling Yi Yao had a dangerous feeling every time she saw her eyes, she had a feeling that this person would affect her, and these unstable emotions were unnecessary for her true self.
She always had a bad feeling that her life would be changed by this woman. And she doesn't want to change now, so she distances herself from her, away from her. Although the result was not to her liking.
Just like now, she left the set once again and went to the Kunlun Mountain range outside the village, she climbed up the mountain and reached a natural flat spot on the mountain, she stood still and her eyes went over the distant mountain clouds and saw the azure sky.
As she looked at this natural picture of the mountains in the sky, an indescribable feeling of loneliness arose in her heart.
She felt like the mountains and clouds, existing between heaven and earth for an unknown number of years, seeing the sea change and the stars shift.
Everything is changing, but what remains the same is not only the change, but also the silent spectator herself.
And at that very moment, a pair of hands suddenly attacked her, wrapped around her waist and carried her down to the ground, and then a familiar stammering voice rang in her ears, the soft and elegant voice of Mei Mu Lan.
She said in a rush,
“Hey, don't kill yourself, I haven't played with you yet? If you have any problems, tell me, I will help you to find a solution. Jumping off a cliff is a tragic and unattractive way to die, you know? Come on, take a deep breath. Come on, calm down,”
Ling Yi Yao: “……”
With a blank face, she grabbed her hand, squeezed her wrist area and disengaged her hold.
Then she stood up, patted the mud on her body, got low/down and pulled Mei Mu Lan, who was still lying on the ground, up and said,
“I am…… thinking about the plot, how did you find your way here without killing yourself?”
Mei Mu Lan deflated and said,
“You were standing on the edge of the cliff, and I was scared. It's a good thing you didn't try to kill yourself, otherwise I'd be a widow. If you dare to jump, I will jump with you, youjump, ijump.”
Ling Yi Yao: “……”
Suddenly I feel so tired, this kind of speechless mood, who can understand?
Mei Mu Lan suddenly remembered that Ling Yi Yao had asked a question and replied,
“Oh yes, I followed you here, I grew up studying theater, my family taught me some ancient martial arts moves in order to make my body agile, I didn't expect it would come in handy today.”
She arches her eyebrows and smiles.
Ling Yi Yao had gotten used to her nonsense, and in any case, they had been together for most of the year, and she was beginning to understand her.
This Mei Mu Lan, apart from being a bit of a collector, weird and in a strange state of mind, is actually a nice person.
It is said that she has never played a film role before, but in her first scene in the set, she was able to portray the woman in the cabaret, who was so beautiful and amorous that she seemed to be ruthless, without ng, in a single line, which made the director applaud and exclaim that she was a natural talent for acting.
And she was able to establish friendly relations with everyone except her, so she seems to have a good personality and emotional intelligence.
As Ling Yi Yao was lost in thought, a hand appeared under her eyes and she blinked to see Mei Mu Lan looking at her with a worried expression.
She asked,
“Tell me what you're thinking about, and I'll help you with it, as three people are better than a wise man, there are more ideas than one, and maybe you can find the answer in my ideas.”
Ling Yi Yao's gaze came into contact with her sincere and pure eyes, and she immediately averted her gaze and walked to the edge of the cliff, saying,
“It's the final scene in the plot where the female undertaker jump off the cliff.”
Mei Mu Lan also walked to the edge of the cliff, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, when she opened her eyes again, her original leisurely and lazy aura changed immediately.
At this moment, she was like the undertaker who was about to jump off the cliff, her body exuding emptiness and desolation.
Her deep, dark eyes were seemingly emotionless, like a delicate human doll, devoid of any semblance of human emotion.
Then she softly hummed a song, the old nursery rhyme in a soft voice, resounding** between the cliffs, and the doll-like figure began to be tinged with the fireworks of the world, her eyes interpreting the vicissitudes of change over the years, from childhood innocence, joy, freedom and tenderness to emptiness, desolation, pain and despair, a thousand emotions flashed by.
Then she hooked her lips into a light smile, a few hints of lingering despondency, a few wisps of nostalgic bewilderment, a murmured song, etched with a thousand years of time, between shifts of light and shadow, she shifted from complexity to simplicity, and finally, with a touch of relief, she opened her arms slightly and jumped.
Of course, someone tugged behind her, and Mei Mu Lan, returning from the plot and once again being the chirpy, always-talking Mei Mu Lan, said excitedly,
“How was it? How was it? Did I do a good job? Gee, it feels okay but it's just a little short, you know what's missing?”
She asked with a troubled and puzzled face.
Ling Yi Yao looked down the cliff and she said,
“She didn't really want to jump, I think, and it was clear from the way she sang the songs of her childhood that she didn't want to die. An intelligent woman like her, who had dominated everything and played the various elites of modern society, would not have given up her life if she didn't have a choice.
She should have been unable to help herself, but there was something unbearable about her. Humans are the most complex creatures, and there are a thousand Hamlets for thousand of people. The real meaning is only to be expressed implicitly, the rest is left to the audience to understand.”
At this point, Ling Yi Yao changed her tone to a lighter one and said,
“Thank you so much this time, your interpretation was great and helped me a lot, thank you.”
Mei Mu Lan smiled narrowly and said shyly,
“Oh, don't say that, how embarrassing, how annoying, my whole body is yours. Just come to my ** tonight and I'll accept your love for me in return.”
Ling Yi Yao: “……”
She turned around and left without a moment's hesitation.
Mei Mu Lan pointed her finger and shouted at her back,
“Can't I give my life to you then? Hey, wait for me!”
Ling Yi Yao: “……”
Nothing is left to chance, ignore it.
Another three months passed quickly, and at the moment when Ling Yiyao, the 《Burial Man》, jumped off the cliff, the director shouted in a loud voice,
“Cut! End of the film!”
Everyone in the cast exhaled, relaxed and said,
“Finally finished filming.”
That's the end of the film, it's not about the actors, it's about the post-production team.
The crew quickly packed their bags and returned to the city the next day.
The film, which was shot over nine months, was officially closed and the day after the group returned to the city, they went to the hotel together to celebrate.
The director, who has always been stingy and cheap, was finally generous at the end of the day, saying in a small, weak voice,
“It's been a lot of hard work, so I'm treating you all to a celebration party, so don't steal it from me, but……” I wouldn't mind if someone paid for me.
But before he could finish, he was interrupted by the cheers of the crowd.
Photographer A,
"Shit, the stingy director wants to treat, it's a once-in-a-century event, I'll order the most expensive one!"
Director's assistant B,
"The director's treat? Let me see the menu ah, come, waiter, I order shark's fin, bird's nest, bear's paw ......"
Mei Mu Lan's eyes glowed,
"Ah, I'll have the full Han Chinese banquet, is there one? No, then a Buddha jumping wall, a roast suckling pig and a ......"
The director stood silently behind them and lifted the flat glasses on the bridge of his nose, a shiny white light flashed and a "ding" was heard around them.
Then an eerie, dark aura spread out and covered the whole room, and everyone present was overwhelmed and shivering by this aura.
Photographer A,
"It's a bit cold all of a sudden, what's going on?"
Director's Assistant B,
"I had a bad feeling, like the director didn't bring any money or something."
Mei Mu Lan's eyes glowed,
"It's okay, we can mortgage the director here and be the boss's wife's pressed husband."
Director: "......" fist pumping.
Other onlooking crew: "Huh!" Light the candles!
The director held up his glasses, smiled evilly and carried these three people downstairs, booked a small private room separately, then ordered a few bowls of beef noodles and said,
"Well, this is the appetizer, after you finish this, then meet us in the private room upstairs. Remember what I said, it's all eaten up O."
With that he opened the door to the room, locked the three of them in and returned to the upstairs room himself.
Other crew: "......"
The director walked in and said,
"Come on, come on, don't be polite to me, order whatever you want, don't be polite."
The crowd: "......" lol!

QTVW Chapter 21
Showbiz* Sexy Queen (VIII)
----
After this incident, Bai Jieying's gaze on Mei Mu Lan took on a vague disdain and condescending arrogance, and she was smart enough not to confront the crew with this attitude, but to specifically target Mei Mu Lan.
And after recalling the memories of the original owner, Mei Mu Lan found that this kind of contentious situation was actually the form of daily life between the original owner and Bai Jieying. After analyzing the Bai Jieying in her memories and the eyes of Bai Jieying now, she compared them and came to the conclusion that the eyes and expressions of Bai Jieying's original owner and the Bai Jieying after crossing over were exactly the same when she looked at Mei Mu Lan.
In this way, it seems likely that the traveler in front of her has obtained all the memories of the original Bai Jieying. Now, Mei Mu Lan and her situation are completely similar, both have lived in real life and both know the plot, and most importantly, they both have memories of the original owner who crossed over.
And the only difference is that the informed part of the plot is different.
Mei Mu Lan is right here in the plot, in a dominant position, but in other areas, the two are actually evenly matched.
Thinking of this, Mei Mu Lan would glare back with the same glare when she encountered Bai Jieying glaring at her again, and this behaviour of hers completely reassured Bai Jieying, dispelling the idea that this Mei Mu Lan in front of her was also a traveler.
And when Bai Jieying went to the director's side for her second audition, Mei Mu Lan secretly made a plan in her mind: next she had to spend a long time to observe this traveler's behavior, and the current image of Bai Jieying in the cast was all finely crafted and acted out, not real.
Then in order to see what she was really like, she had to get into Bai Jieying's daily life in order to do so.
When Mei Mu Lan thought of this, she decided to move out of Aunt Wen's house and go back to the Mei family for a while to see how she acted in her daily life and how she behaved in private, and once she was familiar with Bai Jieying's style and behaviour, she could plan for her subsequent task of "solving the travelers".
So, Mei Mu Lan waited until the day's filming was finished, then she immediately said goodbye to Ling Yi Yao and ''made out'', then drove back to Aunt Wen's villa. By the time she got home, Aunt Wen was not at home because she had a design job and had gone abroad to get some experience, so after thinking about it, Mei Mu Lan left a note which said,
“Aunt Wen, I've been out for so many years and I understand somewhat what my father did, so I'm going to move back in with the Mei family for a while and thank you for taking care of me, all these years!”
After writing it, she read it out a few times and found it to be quite fluent, so she left the note on the dining room table, turned to her room, packed her few bags and left the Wen family home.
Mei Mu Lan followed the route she remembered and drove back to the Mei family mansion in the wealthy residential area of the Second Ring Road.
Because the Mei family is a family of scholars that has been passed down for hundreds of years, the Mei family's mansion, which maintains the style of hundreds of years ago, is the modern well-known courtyard, in the modern world, such a set of courtyard, in the outside world can be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars, but this is really nothing for the Mei family.
The Mei family's family ethos pushes the boundaries of money and dirt, and the Mei family's family wealth ranks among the best in the world.
Mei Mu Lan drove back outside the Mei family home, she walked inside the old mansion and as far as the eye could see there were flower pots, water tanks, recliners…… and other furniture, all of which are relics of hundreds of years old, is an expression of the cultural heritage of the Mei family.
Mei Mu Lan casually swept a glance, and then saw that a middle-aged man wearing a Republican tunic greeted her, with a warm and kind smile on his face, the whole person gave people a feeling of a gentleman as gentle as jade.
He took the luggage from Mei Mu Lan and handed it to the maid who was waiting with his head down, then called out affectionately,
“Missy, you're back at last.”
Mei Mu Lan knew from memory that this man was the butler of the Mei family, the child of a friend of Grandpa Tai, and had been given the surname Mei after being brought back to the Mei family by Grandpa Tai when he was three years old.
He grew up in the house of Mei and was always brought up by the great lord of the Mei family. Although he was called a butler, his status was not that of a servant, but that of one of the rulers of the Mei family, managing the internal affairs of the house as well as some of the external affairs, a man of great means, loyal and intelligent.
He has a high status in the Mei family and most of the Mei family are close to him. Even Mei Mu Lan's father, who was the current head of the Mei family, would adopt a slightly friendly attitude when facing him.
When Mei Mu Lan thought of this, she lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly poutingly,
“Butler Mei, it's been a long time, you're still as handsome as ever.”
The smile on Butler Mei's face deepened a little as he said,
“Miss, I am relieved to see you in such good spirits. No matter what happens at the Master's place, you will always be the Mei family's Miss in my heart, and as for that one and her daughter, you need not bother at all.”
Mei Mu Lan heard his concern for herself in his words, and she was moved to say,
“Thank you butler, I understand, I just want to go home for a while, no matter what, I am my father's own daughter, before I did not know what to do, and made my father and butler worry about me.”
With a relieved smile, Butler Mei said,
“It's good that you've figured it out. There's nothing in life that you can't get through. All external things are false, only blood is real. Now, I have ordered your room to be taken care of, you are tired today, go and rest, I will order someone to call you at dinner time.”
“Thank you, butler. I'll go to my room.”
After bidding farewell to the butler, Mei Mu Lan went back to the original owner's room.
When she opened the door, she saw a literary and elegant room, which was decorated with a combination of Chinese and foreign elements, which matched her imagination of a woman's bedroom from a scholarly family, whereas the original owner's room at Aunt Wen's house was filled with Ling Yi Yao's photos and dolls, which made Mei Mu Lan's heart feel creepy, but for the sake of the mission, she had to maintain this style, which was really depressing.
And this time, finally, she could stay in a normal room, whatever the purpose of going home this time, at least she slept much better and was sure that she could sleep well for the next while.
When she thinks of the original owner, she can't help but think of Ling Yi Yao. She is now numb to her "obsessed" state and as soon as she sees Ling Yi Yao, her whole being will automatically switch to another channel.
Fortunately, the villain this time, Ling Yi Yao, although ruthless and with blood on her hands, is a very nice person to be around when she is in normal society.
In the face of her own obsessions in and out of the film, she has not even expressed her displeasure verbally, which makes Mei Mu Lan often exclaim that the villain is really well brought up. If it were up to me, I would have taken such a character to the ends of the earth.
And Ling Yi Yao now, apart from a vague, emotionally unstable expression on her face as soon as she saw her, there was nothing else on her face, which reassured Mei Mu Lan and made her even more aggressive at the same time.
I feel like I've suddenly gone feckless, and it's definitely the fault of the cannon fodder girl!
When Bai Jieying returned to the house in the evening at the time the Mei family had set for dinner, she saw Mei Mu Lan sitting on the sofa, sipping tea in a dignified manner, and then gave her usual snide remarks, it was only when her mother made a glib remark to stop her that she skipped away and walked over to her mother and sat down affectionately.
Mei Mu Lan watched coldly, this Bai Jieying was gentle and kind on the set, pouting and half-angry at home, and in front of her stepmother, she was like a real child, chattering about what had happened on the set today.
Her mother learned from her that she and Mei Mu Lan were filming in the same production, so she glanced at Mei Mu Lan from top to bottom.
In a lighter tone, she said,
“Mu Lan, you are from a scholarly family, the family style of your Mei family is to despise the lowest class such as opera singers, if your father finds out about your acting, he will definitely be angry, so think again, change your job, I remember that you sang Peking Opera very well before, you can continue to go into that profession, it is after all something your mother taught you, it is always bad to leave it behind.”
Mui Mu Lan, with her long, narrow eyes, said with the aura of a Peking opera, singing and chanting in a long, short voice,
“You know, I don't know what this lady is to me. What does the affairs of our Mei family have to do with you, a second-married woman? You claim to be a member of the Mei family, but in the olden days, you would not have been worthy to carry the shoes of a Mei family servant.
You think that just because you have my father's help, you can really do whatever you want. The Mei family has been passed down for a hundred years, and although my father is the patriarch, he has less resources at his disposal. And who are you to talk to me like that? I have a good temper, otherwise I would have asked someone to slap your mouth!”
Her stepmother's brain ached with anger at her sharp, eloquent tongue, and she trembled, raising her hand and pointing, unable to say a word.
And Bai Jieying, at this moment, had a weird smile on her face, looking straight at Mei Mu Lan without saying a word.
Mei Mu Lan put down her cup of tea in bemusement, then said to Mei's butler who was beside her, watching the show as an invisible person,
“I'm also the recognized next head of the Mei family, so if I don't show them what I'm made of, they'll think I'm a paperweight.”
With that, she stood up, glanced scornfully at the two women with different faces, tilted her head proudly, and turned to leave.
In the days that followed, Mei Mu Lan went to the film set during the day and flirted with Ling Yi Yao; at night, she returned to the Mei family to anger her stepmother, and lived a very happy life.
Although she and Bai Jieying live under the same roof and work on the same set, they are never together, always staggering their time and appearing one after the other in full view of others. This also made the crew aware of the fact that the two sisters were not on good terms.
Even so, Mei Mu Lan's concern for Bai Jieying did not diminish by half.
She was following the movements of Bai Jieying every moment, and she found that Bai Jieying was now a queen of all changes, her acting skills were perfect, in life, in acting, in and out of film, and she was showing her superb acting skills all the time.
While watching Bai Jieying act, Mei Mu Lan secretly instructed the detective to continue filming and tracking Bai Jieying's whereabouts.
She put it all together and waited for the day when it would come in handy.
Three months later, the crew of 《The Burial Man》had completed all the indoor filming and it was time to shoot outdoors.
After much deliberation, the director decided to head immediately to the Kunlun Mountains for a real outdoor shooting.

QTVW Chapter 20
Showbiz* Sexy Queen (VII)
----
Mei Mu Lan frowned after hearing the system beep, it seemed that she now had another hidden task to solve the travelers in addition to the main task of raiding the villain.
It's not clear exactly what the definition of 'resolution' is, but according to the novel's plot, everything should change soon after.
Because the beginning part of the novel was caused by the death of the original owner Mei Mu Lan in a car accident, the description of the female lead Bai Jieying at that time was still just an innocent-looking girl with an upright personality, and her clean temperament attracted the attention of the male lead Ling Tianye.
And the next step was to come and audition for the supporting female role in the cast of 《The Burial Man》, only to be eliminated by the director and others.
Three days later, when she agreed to become the male lead's mistress, she returned to the production with the help of the male lead, and her acting skills were suddenly recognized by everyone, and she played the role of the enchanting undercover female agent in 《The Burial Man》, thus starting her acting career as the "Queen of Variety".
So it seems that if this travelers really entered the novel, then the time she crossed over was within these two days.
Mei Mu Lan rubbed her brow, feeling troubled, if her task was to face a simple and proud Bai Jieying, it would not be difficult to deal with her.
But now it was obvious that she was about to face a traveler who had also entered the virtual world from the real world, and there was no way for Mei Mu Lan to treat such a woman as an NPC in the virtual world, and……
Even for travelers, there are different types, and she knew absolutely nothing about this travelers' situation. And this traveler, upon entering this world, immediately grasps the key character, Ling Tianye, and she picks a script and a cast of characters that are complex and widely loved.
It is clear from here that she is a book-traveler who also knows what is about to happen in this world.
Mei Mu Lan groaned and grumbled in anguish as she thought of this, the traveler she needed to solve for this hidden mission was someone who was an even match for her, and according to the system ranking, such a traveler at present was actually only her beginner mission target, so she dared not imagine what kind of difficult characters she would encounter in her next crossover missions.
She let out a long sigh and thought, "No matter what, she has to find a way to monitor Bai Jieying's every move, be the first to get a head start, wait for an opportunity, and then take her out.
After Mei Mu Lan made her plans, she hired a high priced private detective to investigate and film Bai Jieying's actions and compile them into a case to her newly built email address while she was 'obsessively showing love' to Ling Yi Yao.
Every day after she came home from studying on set, she would open her emails and browse through Bai Jieying's investigation routine.
On the first day, an email came in showing that Bai Jieying and a major shareholder of a giant entertainment company went to a hotel room together, entering at 10pm that night and leaving intimately at 6am the next morning, holding hands.
The next day's email showed that Bai Jieying and the major shareholder had gone to a lounge that only senior members of society could enter, and that in the evening Bai Jieying had left hand in hand with the director of another major film being shot.
On the third day, an email came in showing that Bai Jieying, drenched in rain, had bumped into Ling Tianye with a messy face and the two of them had gotten into Ling Tianye's car hand in hand.
When Mei Mu Lan saw this message, her heart thumped.
She moved her mouse and dragged the email down to see the photo of Bai Jieying, who, although wet from the rain, didn't look at all disheveled, but rather because her clothes were wet against her body, exposing her youthful yet mature figure, and her expression was so charming that one wanted to hold her in one's heart and love her as soon as one saw her.
But she looked at Ling Tianye with pride and stubbornness in her eyes, like a cheetah that is always full of life and vitality, making people want to trample on her stubbornness and squeeze her in their hands.
Mei Mu Lan drew a cold breath, from this photo alone, one could feel that this woman was not simple, she was too high up the ladder.
Mei Mu Lan frowned and muttered,
“Here we go, here we go, the travelers are coming.”
She clicked on the photo with her mouse and displayed it in full screen, then stared at the woman and after some careful analysis, she found that she could not see, at all, the true feelings of this woman, and if she had not been wary of this traveler, then she would probably have been upset at the moment she saw the photo.
And with the way things are going today, she's going to meet this traveler tomorrow on the set of the film.
That makes exactly three days.
So now, now that the target traveler has appeared, the next thing she has to do is to find this woman's weakness and finish her off.
As she expected, Ling Tianye once again appeared on the set with this woman, and just last night, the innocent girl who was originally playing another tomb raider family had a very serious car accident on her way home, her whole face was ruined, and she is now completely unable to play this role.
And Ling Tianye, now bringing Bai Jieying to the set, is to send this woman into this production in the name of the investor.
Director Wang Ye is in an unhappy mood, he can see from the events of the previous days that this woman, is definitely not as innocent as she appears, but his best friend Ling Tianye is totally the man who listens to the brain from the lower part of his waist.
This time Ling Tianye's expression was serious, and it was clear that unlike the playfulness of the previous days, he was serious.
Just when Wang Ye was in a depressed mood and about to go berserk, Bai Jieying spoke up, her voice cool and gentle, flowing like a spring breeze in the hearts of the crowd.
She said apologetically,
“I know I didn't perform well last time and made everyone very unhappy, and this time I've asked Chairman Ling to intercede for me, but……”
She bit her lip and smiled softly, looking pale and endearing as she said,
“I just really like the novel and the other day when I found out I had a chance to be in it, I was so excited I banged on the door and made my family laugh. I really want to achieve my ambition, so please give me another chance, just let me play one more part, I won't let you down.”
Her gaze is determined and she glows with confidence.
Mei Mu Lan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, thinking: This woman's acting skills are really good, it's really hard to deal with.
Bai Jieying's heartfelt confession touched most of the people present, and when the director saw her pleading gaze and Ling Tianye's heartbroken eyes, he nodded helplessly and said,
“All right then, as you say, I'll give you one more chance to do a scene from the script.”
Bai Jieying bowed gratefully with crystal tears in her eyes.
Then Bai Jieying looked at the crowd, and at the sight of a delicate cheongsam with Republican makeup, her pupils visibly zoomed in and out, a micro-expression of surprise that Mei Mu Lan noticed.
And Bai Jieying turned to smile happily, walked towards Mei Mu Lan, took her hand and said with surprise in her voice,
“Sister, are you in this film too? Dad is old and his heart is not good. Last time you suddenly left the family dinner and made him lose face, that's why he said he wanted to break off the relationship with you, but he has regretted it now, but he just can't face it, just forgive him and go home and live together, okay?”
Although these words were spoken in the interest of Mei Mu Lan, there were traps everywhere in these words, and Bai Jieying's words were spoken in public, so what would the onlookers think?
It must be Mei Mu Lan, who is ungrateful and reckless, and who is a wilful and an abominable person.
Mei Mu Lan also took her hand with a surprised look on her face, and her sharp nails pinched hard into her hand, saying,
“Sister, I…… I was just upset with my father. You didn't know that my father was going to marry you off to a business friend who was in his fifties, and I couldn't stand it so I confronted him, didn't you always teach me from a young age that I had to be on the same page with you, but now, you keep blaming me?”
As she said this, she unconsciously showed a stubborn and aggrieved expression, which, together with her dressing style, made people feel strange, but more than that, it made people think that she was a person of true character.
Bai Jieying's back was turned to the crowd, her expression cold, her eyes like ice frozen for a thousand years as she stared at her with a creepy gaze.
Then she took Mei Mu Lan in her arms, her lips close to Mei Mu Lan's earlobe, and she said in a light tone,
“I know your secret, we are both the same, how about working together? It is better than having two sisters struggling with each other. Hmm? What do you say?”
She nibbled lightly on Mei Mu Lan's earlobe and asked.
Ling Yi Yao, who had just come out of the dressing room to change into her ancient costume, was standing not far behind these two people. After taking a look at the quiet atmosphere in the set and seeing Ling Tianye and Bai Jieying, she remembered what happened a few days ago and with a cold look on her face, she slowly walked over to Ling Tianye.
As she passed Mei Mu Lan, she walked without a glance, completely ignoring the two who were hugging each other in an intimate relationship.
But Mei Mu Lan showed a surprised expression, pushed Bai Jieying away, then picked up the camera and walked over to Ling Yi Yao, taking pictures in all directions at 365 degrees, then drooling at Ling Yi Yao, with green wolf-like eyes flashing in her eyes.
She said,
“Ahhhhhhh!!! It's this look, the never seen Ling Yi Yao look, ah, must collect it, ah ah ah ah!!! And ah, and ah, there's nothing between me and this woman, don't get me wrong ah, my heart belongs to you!”
Ling Yiyao: "......" The sense of crisis has reared its ugly head.
Director Wang Ye: "......" Mei Mu Lan is having another brain fart.
The crew in the audience: "......" Mei Mu Lan is having another brain fart.
The shy Bai Jieying on the floor: "......" Shit, this person is definitely the original!

Showbiz* Sexy Queen (VI)
----
Ling Yi Yao finally drank the so-called "love" green bean soup. Although she didn't know why she did it, she knew very well that if she didn't do it, this strange woman in front of her would definitely do something that she would regret.
It was an instinct she had acquired on the battlefield after years of experience in the midst of gunfire, and now she felt a crisis that also sent chills down her spine.
Mei Mu Lan saw the spring smile on her face after she drank the soup.
She was already extremely gorgeous, and when she smiled, she was even more charming, and the few staff members who were quietly watching from across the room couldn't help but cover their beating hearts when they saw this scene.
Mei Mu Lan took back the thermos and packed all these things away, then immediately asked Ling Yi Yao with a serious face, saying,
“I don't know much about anything and I've never acted before, so I'm going to work very hard this coming week to learn from you, and I won't let you down!”
Ling Yi Yao: “……”
Why does it always feel like that, something doesn't sound right?
Mei Mu Lan continued,
“Good, I'm glad we've come to an understanding, so I think it's a good idea to move in with you so that we can study night and day. You see, I'm good-looking, so I won't bring down your taste when I walk with you; I have four-star hotel cooking skills, so I can make you eat delicious food; I can also talk with you to relieve your boredom, be a mood bin and so on; I can also……”
Mei Mu Lan made a mishmash of words and phrases, words that came out automatically without her being aware of them. In the end, even she believed that she was so talented that the person she was 'dating' was taking advantage of her.
Ling Yi Yao: “……”
No, it's always been you.
Ling Yi Yao smiled stiffly and said,
“It's not good for us to live together, it's not convenient.”
A very clear indication of rejection that any ordinary person could understand.
But it was clear that Mei Mu Lan was no ordinary person, as she turned pale and went from bright sunshine to thunder and lightning in a fraction of a second.
She saw her head slightly lowered and the back of her white hand wiped her cheek, and crystal drops of water fell on the back of her hand,
“I thought……,”
Her slow voice said,
“We've spent so much time together that we've at least been friends, but……”
Her voice was as mournful and silent as the autumn breeze sweeping through the hearts of the people.
Before Ling Yi Yao could react, a cry sounded again. Although the voice only had two tones, it could fully express the owner's disbelief, heartache, grief and despair at that moment.
And it is because there are only two tones that the tolerance of the owner of the voice can be expressed in a way that is so clear.
Ling Yi Yao instantly felt that she had done something unjustifiably bad, and the staff around her, who were seriously working and actually watching the show, couldn't help but tsk twice and sigh longingly to the heavens,
“People's hearts are not in the right place,”
“The times are changing,”
“Rites and ceremonies are in ruins,”
“The world is a cold place,”
Ling Yi Yao drew a cold breath in her heart and could barely keep the smile off her face, while the woman opposite her was already crying with her shoulders shaking.
Ling Yi Yao frowned, thinking that this person's behaviour was really weird and scary, but although this person was behaving strangely, as far as she could see, she hadn't done anything too out of the ordinary, and as for the previous ones, they were just the daily behaviour of fans towards their idols, which was understandable.
She frowned and said,
“I think of you as a friend, but living together, it's……”
Her words were interrupted as the woman opposite looked up, teary-eyed, but still smiling brightly, and said,
“It's convenient, right? Don't worry, I'll follow you when you're done, I won't get lost.”
Ling Yi Yao: “……”
This inexplicable chest tightness and heartache!
Just as Ling Yi Yao wanted to speak again and explain clearly, an abrupt man's voice interjected and he said,
“Yao Yao, is this a friend of yours?”
Mei Mu Lan and Ling Yi Yao looked over together and saw a dozen men and women in suits walking over, and standing at the front was the man who had just spoken, looking about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, playing with a white mobile phone in his hand, taking off his suit jacket and wearing only a white handmade shirt because of the somewhat hot weather, the corners of his mouth and eyebrows were frivolously raised, and the whole person looked somewhat cynical.
Mei Mu Lan scanned him and inclined her head, then saw the woman who was following him and holding his suit.
This woman was familiar to her, namely Bai Jieying, who had been interviewed with her yesterday, and when Mei Mu Lan saw her, she guessed the identity of the visitor.
The thought occurred to her: This man is the male lead in this novel, Ling Yi Yao's uncle Ling Tianye. It seems that the power of the plot is indeed great, the male and female leads finally met and hooked up even earlier than before, it is written in the original novel that the female lead only agreed to become Ling Tianye's mistress on the third day after the interview, but from the current situation, they should have fallen in love last night, right?
Mei Mu Lan looked at Bai Jieying, and saw that she was exuding charming beauty, her body was shaking, and she looked like she had been tortured all night, which made Mei Mu Lan grimace.
Naturally, Ling Yi Yao could see what was going on between them and asked,
“Ling Tianye, why are you free to come to the set today?”
Ling Tianye looked at Mei Mu Lan with interest and hooked out a reply,
“I came to have a look and recommend someone to try out for the crew, here……”
As he said this, he dragged Bai Jieying behind him into his arms and said,
“This is a new toy I found, it looks good, doesn't it? It's fun to play with it, and since she's making me comfortable, it's only natural that I should pay her back a little.”
Bai Jieying's face was white, she didn't expect this man to tell the truth about their deal in public, and he said it in such an unpleasant way, as if she was a cheap woman who had fallen back on him, she didn't dare to look at the expressions of the people around her, her nails were embedded in her hands, her heart was overwhelmed with hatred, thinking: when I become famous, I will kick you, this slag, immediately!
Ling Yi Yao only casually glanced at Bai Jieying before looking at Ling Tianye and said,
“This one wasn't bad, it looked much cleaner than the previous warbler, but the pay was too high.”
The director, who had been concentrating on filming the scene, saw Ling Tianye, the director’s investor and a good friend, had come to the set, so he also came over, and after seeing what was happening here, he said,
“This woman came to the audition yesterday, we were there, and her acting skills were not good at all, she was very stiff and weak, so she was dismissed. I didn't expect her to find you there, man, this is our company's annual blockbuster, the company's masterpiece in the film industry, don't mess around, if you want to play, invest in a small budget film for her, give her a chance to play.”
Ling Tianye stretched his hands and pushed Bai Jieying to the side in a bored manner, saying to her helplessly,
“As you can see, Wang Ye did not agree to your role, and what did you tell me last night, you said you were a good actress but those people had backing, so I agreed to your role, but look at the result now, this is making me look bad in public, okay, assistant, write her a cheque and kick her out.”
Bai Jieying cried out on the spot, she grew up without a father, but her mother has always been powerful and awesome, rich and beautiful, and she has always been sought after and adored by others, but ever since her boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend, everything has gone wrong for her, her mother wants her to marry a balding old man in his forties, her stepfather doesn't care about her, and she chooses to go into the entertainment industry, but has no corresponding work experience and no acting skills, so she was always rejected.
By the time she got a good chance, she was also brushed off.
Last night, after accidentally meeting this young and wealthy man, she committed herself to him for her future, and now she is in this situation.
This time, she would definitely keep it in her heart, she thought with hatred, her eyes coldly swept a glance at Ling Yi Yao and Mei Mu Lan, then looked at Ling Tianye with resentment, raised her head and left in high pride.
Ling Yi Yao's face sank, this was the first time someone had given her a scowl, and when Ling Tianye saw this expression on his niece's face, he knew she was angry now and this was how she would sulk when she was angry, then her heart would stifle and wilt, secretly she would definitely find a way to attack back.
Ling Tianye shrugged his shoulders helplessly, then waved his hand and said,
“In that case, I'm going back to the office, so go for it.”
“……”
Ling Yi Yao looked at him coldly, turned her head and walked away.
Leaving Ling Tianye to shrug his shoulders with a bitter smile and rub his brow, he led the elite men and women behind him away.
Mei Mu Lan frowned and did not go after Ling Yi Yao, but sat down on the recliner, her heart full of sorrow.
What's going on here? Why is reality completely different from the plot?
Not only the attitude of the male lead towards the female lead, but also the feeling that the female lead gives off, it's like a child who hasn't grown up, her emotions are all on her face, which is completely different from the description of the novel that depicts a happy and angry woman who is strong in social skills and has completely taken over the male lead.
Moreover, although the plot did not describe how Ling Yi Yao and Ling Tianye got along, in the middle and later stages of the novel, the two of them did have a very bad relationship, even to the point of death, but now, as far as she could see, the facts showed that their relationship was clearly very good and close.
Mei Mu Lan frowned at these anomalies and pondered the reasons for them: The villain Ling Yi Yao, the male lead Ling Tian Ye, the roadie Aunt Wen, the director…… The female lead, on the other hand, seems to be a different person, with horribly awkward methods, and she was not chosen as a cast member, so that means that her acting skills are also average.
What's going on?
Mei Mu Lan recalls the female lead in the original owner's memory, which is somewhat similar to the current female lead, who looks like she gives the impression of a noble and high-minded literary artist.
And now the female lead, although her words and actions are in line with the plot, the end result, however, produces a great deviation.
And the female lead in the novel's plot is a queen of all variations.
On-screen, she can be charming and flirtatious at the same time; off-screen, she is kind and gentle to her fans and journalists; when facing her male lead, she is very tactful, combining pampering with warmth and consideration.
And so on, which means that the root of all the anomalies is the female lead, Bai Jieying, who has something very wrong with her.
When Mei Mu Lan figured this out, she felt a cold sweat in the heat of the day.
This situation is very much like the classic situation in a crossover novel, where the all-powerful female lead enters the body of the clumsy original owner and uses her powers to make her way in the crossover world.
So, the system provides the female lead in the novel's plot, which is, in fact, a fictional world that unfolds when an outside crossover enters the female lead's body.
And as the manager of the virtual time and space, she had never understood before what made her suddenly enter the fictional world to do her mission? But after this incident, she understood the reason behind it, it was because the virtual time and space had been intruded by travelers from the real world.
Just as the truth of the crossing dawned on her like an enlightening experience, a familiar cold mechanical voice rang out in her head,
【Host Mu Lan, decipher the true meaning of the system's mission and activate the system's hidden mission to solve the arrogant travelers who have crossed over from the real world.】
【The system rewards a random prize pack, which can be opened after the completion of this mission. Wish the host Mu Lan to complete the mission soon.】

QTVW Chapter 18
Showbiz* Sexy Queen (V)
----
When Mei Mu Lan finished her rendition of the scene, the 'audience' on the other side of the room still hadn't recovered from the scene that had just happened.
Mei Mu Lan smiled slightly shyly and said,
“It's my first time acting, I hope you won't be offended by my bad performance.”
The words pulled everyone back from the previous scene and the director slowed down to say,
“……Cut …… You truly portrayed the ruthlessness and fickleness of the character. No one knows if the agent is really in love with the man in uniform, but each and every one of us, can feel the realness and complexity of this cheongsam-clad woman.”
So saying, he suddenly sat down in his chair and asked with a broad grin,
“How about that, now that you've seen the results, are you satisfied? There is no one in the world who can perform better than her, so if you don't have any objections, then the role is finalized?”
The crowd immediately nodded vigorously and, having witnessed the facts with their own eyes, all unanimously agreed with the director's proposal.
Mei Mu Lan smiled lightly and retreated from the other side of the room, she returned to the waiting room, still sitting on the previous sofa, opposite Bai Jieying who was now picking up the letter paper and looking at it carefully.
Mei Mu Lan looked at her and suddenly remembered this incident in the plot.
As mentioned in the novel, Bai Jieying, with the help of the male lead, managed to get the supporting female role in 《The Burial Man》, and this role is the Republican agent that Mei Mu Lan is performing today, but now, according to Bai Jieying's costume, she should be running for the role of an undercover agent of another tomb raiding family.
It seems that after the failure of the character Mei Mu Lan to die in the novel's plot, the virtual time order automatically fixed the bug, and the first meeting between the male and female leads, which was scheduled for the funeral, was delayed a lot.
Another woman returned from her interview and the director's assistant outside shouted to those in the room,
“Bai Jieying, you're up next.”
Bai Jieying smiled and stomped on the toes of her shoes and said softly,
“Here we go.”
As she walked outside, she stuffed the letterhead into the envelope.
Mei Mu Lan propped her chin on her hand, her fingers playing with her long, curly hair.
She thought to herself: Since she had now been cast in the role, it was time to perform well. From the clips she had performed earlier, the supporting female character was a person with a demonic spirit on the surface and a cold heart, and she did not feel overwhelmed to perform such a role.
She recalls the plot of the novel: After Bai Jieying's performance, she didn't get the role of the supporting female character, but in the end the cast chose to have her perform it, the reason being that she took the initiative to go to the male lead in the novel and agreed to become his mistress. And on the third day, after they had slept together for one night, the character who was originally set to play the role, had an accident and fell ill, and Bai Jieying replaced her as the supporting female character.
Now with the whole plot being disrupted, I wonder what Bai Jieying will choose to do afterwards?
But the matter was not her concern for the moment, so she did not pay much attention to it.
Now that she has been selected as the supporting female character, she will be working on the set for about three months or so, and during that time she will find the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Ling Yi Yao. But that alone is not enough.
The villains are ruthless and the most important thing is sincerity and time.
But when the film is finished, they won't be able to see each other for a few months.
They won't continue to work together until another play starts shooting and she gets the lead role in 《Love in a Fallen City》.
Mei Mu Lan frowned and tapped her cheek with a long, slender finger.
Maybe she needs to move. She thought of it this way, the original owner had just graduated from university and retired from the school dormitory, if she didn't buy a house, she would have to live in Aunt Wen's villa for a long time, this way, she would disturb Aunt Wen's daily life, and Mei Mu Lan would feel embarrassed; most importantly, although she had plenty of time, she also had to plan every step and calculate carefully.
Taking various factors into consideration, Mei Mu Lan decided to move to the vicinity of Ling Yi Yao's house.
As mentioned in the plot, Ling Yi Yao will buy a flat in the newly built Jiangnan district in the suburbs in half a month's time, where she will live most of her free time afterwards.
With this in mind, Mei Mu Lan thought about the money for the house.
She recalled the memories of the original owner, who had performed in national and international folk performances when she was very young, and her mother had kept all the money from these performances in a passbook account, which she could collect when Mei Mu Lan became an adult. And the savings of these ten years are tallied up to be a considerable amount of money, which is expected to be able to buy the whole Jiangnan district.
Now that she had the location and the money, the next step was to buy and renovate the house when she had the time to do so.
Mei Mu Lan secretly thought about it, time passed quickly and in a short while, all the women present had finished their interviews.
And after everyone had waited for about half an hour, the director himself came over and told everyone the result of the casting, which was that Mei Mu Lan and another woman were chosen, while Bai Jieying was not chosen because her performance was too raw and dull.
After the director had finished speaking, the women in the room were all smiling and saying goodbye one after another.
The director said,
“You two are very good actors, so take your scripts today, go back and rest for the day, get your affairs in order, and meet me on set tomorrow morning at 7am, I'll arrange for two crew members to come and teach you about the set. Do you have any questions? If not, then let's call it a day.”
Both of them shook their heads, thanked him and left.
After bidding farewell to the director, Mei Mu Lan went to the set to see Ling Yi Yao, and after saying goodbye to Ling Yi Yao, who was wearing a gentle mask, she drove back to Aunt Wen's house.
Aunt Wen was sitting on the sofa in the living room, her head slightly raised, her long, warm eyes overflowing with despondency and pain.
She was covered in smoke and the ashtray on the coffee table was full of cigarette butts, so it was obvious that she had smoked a lot.
At this moment, when she saw that Mei Mu Lan had returned, she immediately extinguished the long cigarette between her fingers, she went to the floor-to-ceiling window, pulled back the curtain and opened the window.
Before coming over and standing a little further away from Mei Mu Lan, she said,
“Well? What are your next plans?”
Mei Mu Lan bent down to undo the lacing of her high heels, and when she heard this, she tilted her head slightly to look over.
Her figure was reflected in the bright sunlight outside, the curves of her pretty body on full display, the high-waisted, open cheongsam in motion, partly spread out to reveal the long, straight thighs inside.
With a big smile on her face, like a child begging for sweets, she said,
“I was selected and the director said to take a day off today and wait until tomorrow to learn more.”
Aunt Wen twisted the fingers holding the cigarette and she said in a hoarse voice,
“Well, you've been out all day, are you hungry? Auntie Wen has cooked for you, now go and warm up.”
With that, she turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Mei Mu Lan changed out of her high heels and closed the door, she went back to her room first, washed the make-up off her face, took off her tight and provocative cheongsam and changed into her everyday casual clothes.
When she had changed, she sat down on the living room chair and in a few moments, three dishes and a soup were brought up and placed in front of her.
Mei Mu Lan finished her meal with graceful movements, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then said,
“Auntie Wen, do you have the bankbook my mother left me? I want to buy a house and move out.”
“clatter”, Auntie Wen's hands shattered the dishes by accident.
Mei Mu Lan frowned as she got up and walked over, picking up a broom dustpan and sweeping up the fragments, then she cocked her head and asked,
“Auntie Wen, are you hurt?”
Aunt Wen shook her head expressionlessly, her face much paler than usual, and with a trembling hand, she said,
“I've smoked too much and my hands are not steady. Sorry, sit down for a while, I'll look for your bankbook.”
Mei Mu Lan smiled and said,
“Next time smoke less, it's not good for your health.”
“Hmm, I know.”
When Mei Mu Lan got the bankbook, she immediately drove and went to Jiangnan District to reserve the house. After some formalities to buy the house, she went to the decorator's office and settled on a room to renovate the home and decorate in the style of the original owner's character, and she listed down the general renovation requirements.
The next thing to do is to discuss the details of the renovation, which can only be discussed in detail with the decorators when the renovation is official.
After all this, Mei Mu Lan was already a bit tired and after a quick wash and shower, she fell asleep.
The next day, she went to Ling Yi Yao and saw that she was busy acting in a scene from the script, so she sat and waited. On the way, she politely declined the director's offer to replace her with someone else to teach her, patiently and intently watching Ling Yi Yao's figure.
After waiting for more than an hour, Ling Yi Yao returned and Mei Mulan immediately picked up the thermos with green bean soup and handed it over.
Ling Yi Yao looked at her face without glancing at her, gave a gentle smile and said,
“How was it? What have you learnt?”
Mei Mu Lan shyly pursed her lips and said,
“You're a great actor! I didn't notice anything else but you.”
Ling Yi Yao's brow twitched: “……”
Mei Mu Lan handed over the thermos again, making its presence known, and said,
“Here's the green bean soup I made with love. You must be tired after acting for so long.”
Ling Yi Yao's expression stiffens: “……”
Mei Mu Lan forcefully put the thermos bottle in Ling Yi Yao's hand, then took out an unopened towel from the satchel on the recliner, tore open the bag and handed it.
Slowly and silently, Ling Yi Yao took the towel and then wiped the sweat stains on her face and the dust on her hands.
When Mei Mu Lan saw her finish wiping, she immediately took the towel back and put it in the bag she had just put it in, muttering under her breath,
“This is the towel with Ling Yi Yao's fragrant sweat on it, my 1024th collection, which I must keep until the sky and the earth fall apart and the sea dries up.”
Ling Yi Yao's hair stood on end: “……”
Ling Yi Yao's heart bursts into tears: “Help, there's a perverted fan here!”
Mei Mu Lan's heart is spilling over: “Help, Ling Yi Yao's sweat smells so good!”

“……”
Even though Mei Mu Lan's heart was in a state of shock, her face was still slightly stiff as she said,
“Haha, I'm just kidding, I'm actually a big fan of yours and I love your movies, so can you sign my autograph?”
As she said this, she took the script from the hands of the petrified director and kneaded it in her hands, smoothing out the curled paper before handing it over with a slightly shy expression,
“Then, just sign here.”
Ling Yi Yao looked at her with slightly narrowed eyes, and there were unreadable emotions in them.
She took the script, signed her name on that, handed it back, and said,
“Thank you for your support, Miss Mei.”
Mei Mu Lan took the script and stared at the three big words on the page with glowing eyes, her face was uncontrollably excited, and she performed the image of a fan getting an autograph from her idol with perfection.
She blinked her charming eyes and looked at Ling Yi Yao with an affectionate expression, saying,
“I'll always be there for you, you're the best in my heart! Keep up the good work!”
The director, who had been ignored as a set-piece for a long time, suddenly made his presence known, smiling broadly and saying,
“I didn't know you were so fond of her, but since Ling Yi Yao is your idol, she'll be your mentor for the rest of your life.”
Mei Mu Lan was immediately surprised and said,
“Is it really possible? But……”
With a look of embarrassment on her face, she said,
“This will not affect and delay the work of Queen Ling, right?”
With a gentle smile on her face, Ling Yi Yao said,
“No, I have long admired Miss Mei's reputation, I won't find it troublesome. Moreover, Miss Mei's previous performance platforms are all top international art theatres, your performance experience is very rich, I believe you are a good student who can easily start.”
With a big smile on her face, Mei Mu Lan said,
“In that case, I'll be counting on you after that, Teacher Ling.”
“You're welcome, just call me Ling Yi Yao.”
Ling Yi Yao replied with a light smile.
At this time, an abrupt phone rang, and Mei Mu Lan looked in the direction of the voice, and saw the director answering the phone in a frenzied manner, saying,
“It's me…… I've already got the part of the second female character…… You have to be interviewed by the producer to do this? Who said that? Big Boss…… All right then, I'll send her over now.”
The director hung up the phone with an embarrassed look on his face as he scratched his head awkwardly and said,
“So, the producer just called and asked you to audition again, because the producer seems to be holding an audition for the supporting female character. Sorry, go for another interview, go through the motions, you'll be selected anyway with your strengths.”
Mei Mu Lan froze for a moment and said after coming back to her senses,
“That's fine, it's the process, I can't make any special distinctions, I'm on my way, director, where's the interview?”
The director smiled toothily, reached out and pointed in one direction, and said,
“I'll take you there. I guess the staff will give you a script and let you do an impromptu performance based on the script, and those who perform well will be selected as real supporting female actresses.”
“I see, then you can take me there first,”
With that, she looked at Ling Yi Yao again and said,
“See you later, Ling Yi Yao.”
Ling Yi Yao also stood up, smoothed out her ancient dress and said,
“I'm one of the interviewers, I'll come with you.”
The three of them walked together to an ancient style tavern, Mei Mu Lan said goodbye to the director and Ling Yi Yao, then went to the waiting room for the female supporting roles.
As soon as she entered, she saw a dozen young and gorgeous women, who were now studying the script carefully in their hands. When they saw Mei Mu Lan walk in, they raised their heads and stared over, and only when Mei Mu Lan found a place to sit in the corner did they avert their eyes.
Mei Mu Lan sat alone on a sofa, her head hanging slightly, her long hair hiding the expression on her face.
In her mind, she recalled what had happened earlier, when her emotions were out of control and she had done some of the original owner's daily actions. Even though the original owner's soul is completely dissipated, the body still gives some instinctive reactions to reality.
She didn't know why this was happening, and she didn't know if anything like this had happened in previous missions. But this sudden event today has clearly given her a direction for her strategy.
The villainous BOSS mentioned in the plot is an apparently gentle and generous film queen, but in reality, she is a woman who has blood on her hands, was secretly raised in the underworld and has been a mentor to killers in the underworld for her entire adult life.
She's a hothead, a frightening figure in the dark world, and even her uncle, who raised her from a young age, chose to kill her when their interests diverged.
At the same time she also sent people to murder the female lead several times, the novel explains that it was because if she could not be loved then it was better to destroy, not to say whether this is true or not, but the description of her ruthlessness is definitely the real deal.
And this time, such a woman became the object of her raid.
Ling Yi Yao is dark and ruthless, confronting her enemies and eliminating their roots. If she wants to take her on, the first thing she needs to do is to reduce her threat level, so that Ling Yi Yao feels that she is harmless and can be approached in depth, so that she can drop her guard.
And in order to achieve this, she must show herself to be harmless.
At the same time, she must show her affection for her in order to stop the "I only think of you as a friend" type of outcome from happening.
During her growing up years, many people must have wooed her, but they chickened out when they learned of her indifference, while this time, she chose to do the opposite and insisted on persistently adoring her to impress her.
When Mei Mu Lan thought of this, she suddenly recalled today's oops incident, and she made this decision because of today's incident.
Anyway, her image has already been ruined in public, so why not 'break the pot' and 'not do anything' and choose the active pursuit mode, expressing her sincerity in all sorts of ways to brush up Ling Yi Yao's goodwill?
Plus, the original owner's situation would make this method work very well.
For example, the original owner's background is so clean that even if the villains wanted to investigate her, they wouldn't find out much dark information;
The people around the original owner knew about Mei Mu Lan's affection for Ling Yi Yao, as well as the original owner's posting and microblogging accounts, all of which could show that the infatuation for Ling Yi Yao herself came to light;
She was unable to control her feelings for Ling Yi Yao many times and basically got emotional and her eyes lit up when she saw her……
So, after combining all the above, Mei Mu Lan embarked on the path of a "martyr who is afraid of stalking girls".
Mei Mu Lan figured this out and breathed a huge sigh of relief in her heart, no matter what, she already had a direction for her strategy, after that she just had to work hard in that direction.
With a goal to strive for, she was in a much better mood. She lifted her head and tilted the long curly hair on her forehead to the side, and then a woman dressed in a Republican student girl's dress, innocent-looking and lotus-like, came into her eyes.
The woman had her hands folded in front of her at the moment, holding a folder, her smooth flat fringes hanging down in front of her forehead, and one foot on tiptoe. The whole person carried a strong school freshness style, two very different types from Mei Mu Lan herself. One is as light as a chrysanthemum, the other as enchanting as fire.
Mei Mu Lan noticed her at first because of her charming aura, but when she saw what she looked like, a deep thought flashed in her eyes.
This woman, she looked familiar, she had seen it in the original owner's memory, and she had seen it many times.
Because this woman, the daughter of her father's newly married stepmother, her stepsister, is also the female lead of this showbiz revenge reversal novel, Bai Jieying.
After recognizing her, Mei Mu Lan did not go over to talk to her, because their relationship was already full of conflicts, and now this white lotus-like harmless woman was already a blackened and mutated version, in the novel, she went from gentle and lovely mode to cold and ruthless mode in just one day.
Mei Mu Lan has always stayed away from these types of women, except for missions of course.
She leaned her back on the sofa, her whole body taking on a lazy pose, and Bai Jieying across the room must have recognised her too, but it was clear that she had no intention of recognising her on the spot either.
Mei Mu Lan suddenly thinks of the original owner's death by poison. According to the original owner's memory, the most likely people to poison the original owner are the stepmother and the female lead.
It seems that she still needs to get in touch with them, and perhaps in a few days she should also go back to the Mei family to investigate in person.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the director's assistant came in with a stack of envelopes, which he placed on the table, and then said loudly,
“Here are the excerpts of the plays you will be performing, now come one by one and collect an envelope. After half an hour, those whose names are read out will be interviewed in the interview room next door. Okay, now who's first?”
After his words landed, the women in the room, all of them, stepped forward slowly and unhurriedly, picked up an envelope from the table, then stepped aside to open it and look at it.
Mei Mu Lan waited until the end before she slowly got up to get her envelope, she brushed past Bai Jieying who also stayed at the end, ignoring each other like fellow passers-by.
Mei Mu Lan took the envelope and returned to the sofa to sit down. She tore open the envelope, picked up the white letterhead on a black background inside and read it line by line.
Half an hour later, the first person was called out for an interview, and the atmosphere in the room was noticeably more depressing.
Mei Mu Lan closed her eyes to herself and waited until her name was read before she slowly and enchantingly picked up the envelope with her fingertips and slowly walked out.
Entering the interview room, she was greeted by a completely empty place and handed the letterhead to a staff member who in turn handed it to the interviewer.
She stepped into the room without a glance, then turned to face the dozen people sitting across from her.
The director, sitting at the very centre, casually scanned the letterhead, then waved at Mei Mu Lan and shouted,
“Action!”
Mei Mu Lan then moves into the role of the female supporting role.
【Inside the dark and empty tomb room, two urgent footsteps came to an abrupt halt.
Through the faint light of the candle, one can see a wonderful trajectory formation in the middle of the room. A woman in a purple body-hugging cheongsam, now looking at the formation with a wolfish look, said to the man beside her,
“Blood leads to the formation, the next hurdle requires blood to open the formation before the door to the tomb will open.”
The stocky uniformed man at her side, propping himself up on one leg, raised a rigid eyebrow at the words and said,
“Let's wait for the next person to come and then turn it on. Let's take a break, you come and hold me.”
The cheongsam-clad woman walked slowly over to him and the two leaned in intimately.
The uniformed man said with deep emotion,
“When you get that elixir of immortality, you can surely preserve your youthful beauty.”
The cheongsam-clad woman shook her head and inclined her head to look at the uniformed man, her beautiful, demon-like face could be seen in the dull candlelight, she was now licking her red lips gently, her eyes looking at the uniformed man with fascination, and then said with a soft smile,
“Say……”
She whispered;
“You love me……”
She murmured.
The uniformed man smiled at that and he said in a low voice,
“Mmm, love you.”
The cheongsam-clad woman laughed delicately, a vivid and seductive expression on her face, but as she laughed, tears streamed down her face, crossing her cheeks and falling into the man's chest.
The woman in the cheongsam laughed and cried at the same time, she frowned slightly and said,
“You're very kind. You've always been very kind to me,”
She lifted her hand and caressed the man's neck and cheek.
Then, like a snake-like white arm, it fell behind the man's ear, a silver needle appearing abruptly, revealing its unsettling colour in the dark, obscure light.
The cheongsam-clad woman stabbed the silver needle deep into the back of the man's head, and the long, thin silver needle actually pierced through the man's brain and penetrated the whole thing.
The man stared with blood-red eyes, the expression on his face was one of distortion and disbelief as he died.
The cheongsam-clad woman 'giggled' softly, singing a love song from Shanghai at night on her lips, and pushed the man to the ground, blood crumbling out of the corpse as the blood-initiated formation was broken and a blackened tomb passage was opened.
The woman in the cheongsam stroked her long, dishevelled hair and walked enchantingly into the tomb passage, the grey walls falling abruptly as she passed.
The scene is dark and the only thing in the air is a love song that is softly sung.】

QTVW Chapter 16
Showbiz* Sexy Queen (III)
----
Aunt Wen saw Mei Mu Lan's instantly happy and smiling look and silently looked down and poked the cake in her hand.
She said in a slow tone,
“Mu Lan, do you really like that movie star called Ling Yi Yao that much? Auntie Wen used to think that you were still young and is just a momentary obsession, but now that you have graduated from university and are going into society, you should know that she and you are not from the same world.
Aunt Wen has privately investigated, this Ling Yi Yao is actually the daughter of the boss of the giant Ling family in the entertainment industry, and is also the only proper heir of the Ling family, the background of the Ling family is not clean, such a woman is too far away from you.”
When Mei Mu Lan heard this, the smile on her face dimmed and she whispered,
“I know all this, but I don't want to regret later that I didn't pursue it hard enough and just give up, at least let me give it a try, no matter if it's a good result or a bad one, at least I have no regrets.
Auntie Wen, thank you, you have been looking after me all these years, I promise you that if there is really no hope, I will let go completely.”
Mei Mu Lan said, curled her lips into a smile and murmured,
“Let me at least give it a try, I want to visit her and give showbiz a try.”
Aunt Wen slowed down the pace of poking the cake in her hand, she placed it on the coffee table, then drew out a tissue and looked down to wipe her white fingers, a few dark glints flashed in her eyes.
After she had done this slowly and methodically, she said to Mei Mu Lan in a gentle tone,
“Now that you've made your decision, Auntie Wen will definitely give you a hand. I'll call director Wang Ye later and check the time to meet him, so you can have a good talk when you meet. You can find out about the film called 《The Burial Man》online first so you can give the director a good impression.”
Mei Mu Lan smiled brightly in spring as she nodded vigorously and said,
“I'll go check out the plot and characters of the film, thank you Auntie Wen.”
She stood up and gave Aunt Wen a hug before immediately striding off towards the bedroom.
Aunt Wen stiffened in place and said helplessly,
“Why can't they behave better, both of them?”
With that, she pulled out a cigarette and slowly stammered the smoke ring, dialing the director's number.
After turning on her computer, Mei Mu Lan remembered that she had to do something, she logged on to Weibo and Twitter, and a username called "Zero One Fan" appeared.
"Zero One Fan" is an alias for Ling Yi Yao's fans, and the origin of this alias is also related to the original owner.
The original owner created the first posting forum and micro-blog for Ling Yi Yao's fans. Before Ling Yi Yao's movie was a hit and before Ling Yi Yao became a movie queen, Mei Mu Lan had already become her backbone fan, making the posting forum and micro-blog a success, attracting a large number of people who initially fell in love with Ling Yi Yao, and by the time Ling Yi Yao became famous, the posting forum and micro-blog had been officially certified and became the only authentic fan communication platform.
The original owner was the founder and senior administrator of Zero One Fans.
The original owner's daily task, apart from singing and practicing a Peking Opera passage, was to log on to the two platforms every day and post the latest information she had gathered about Ling Yi Yao on the website, or to put out a large piece of factual evidence to those who came to scold her, so that they would leave without any success.
The original owner was a calm and sensible fan most of the time. When confronted with a black fan, she will be generous enough to listen to the suggestions; but when in secret, she will put on a small vest to track down the black fan and call the black fan names that she doesn't even know.
Her username "Zero One Fan" has also become the most famous of Ling Yi Yao's fans.
Mei Mu Lan looked at the record of the original owner's speech with a black line on her face, the big username "Zero One Fan" spoke more ably. Like:
Confronting black fans – “The new era advocates people's freedom of speech, you have the right to choose to speak, we also have the right to choose to block you, I hope you will be a calm fan and become a strong backer of Ling Yi Yao.”
Confronting a scandal – “About Ling Yi Yao having dinner with other male celebrities, I think this matter is very common in daily life, don't you guys have dinner with the opposite sex? I hope everyone understands and doesn't catch wind of it.”
Confronting plastic surgery – “For those who say Ling Yi Yao is a face-lifter, you can look at photos of Ling Yi Yao when she started out and photos of her life as a child, and then go to a plastic surgery clinic to see if Ling Yi Yao's face has shown any signs of change.”
The countless small vests, similar to "Ling Yi Yao I love you", "Kneel down to Ling Yi Yao", "Lord Ling Yi Yao I want to have babies with you", etc., with more direct usernames, will have an impact on the The above questions, so back to:
Confronting black fans – “Your head is half water, half rice, and together, it's called paste; your IQ is not online, please come back after networking; it feels like talking to you is pulling down my evolutionary time history.”
Confronting a scandal – “凸(艹皿艹) , Who is this man? He's a white boy who wants to take advantage of his position. Don't stop me, I'll take a bottle of acid and destroy his face.”
Confronting plastic surgery – “When you were born, you accidentally landed face first, go blame the midwife, don't come out to get back at society!”
The original owner took the split personality and elevated it to the level of life.
The corners of Mei Mu Lan's mouth twitched as she copied and pasted all of the statements that had been made on those ponies into the relevant part of the message, and after doing so, two hours had passed.
She couldn't wait to turn off Twitter and posting and instead opened the novel 《The Burial Man》and read it word for word.
《The Burial Man》, a novel set in 1916, a time of warlords in the country.
At that time, there were intense conflicts between warlords in various regions and frequent wars in the country, and at a time when everyone was actively fighting, an aged and well-known scholar deciphered a historical tablet that had been handed down for more than 4,000 years. And a shocking message was told to the present generation by this stone tablet.
That is, 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, in the time of the gods and goddesses of the West, an elixir called "immortality" was introduced, in fact, historical mythology also tells this point, that is, the well-known story of Chang'e, who stole the elixir to run to the moon in order to preserve her beauty.
On this stone tablet, however, this event is used as a lead-in to the fact that there are still burial mourners around the Kunlun Mountains in China who have been guarding this elixir of immortality for generations, waiting for the right person to come and obtain it.
The story has a slightly mythical setting, but the word "tomb raiding" is already closely associated with various myths and ghosts, and just as the scholar is about to make the news public he is murdered, in an "impossible" type of homicide for no apparent reason in front of a public audience, with his body intact and his blood tested for poisoning. But when the forensic pathologist performed an autopsy, his brain and heart were missing.
The incident caused an uproar, but it did not get out and was kept secret by the local warlord.
They sent relevant tomb raiders to Kunlun Mountain to raid the tomb, their actions were carried out in secret but there is no impervious wall in the world, the news was soon known by many other forces and sent people to investigate this matter one after another.
And so the story unfolds.
Ling Yiyao plays the female lead, the only undertaker in the film, and the other undertaker is her brother, the two of them are considered immortal and have been guarding the place for almost a thousand years.
The decrypted monolith brought in other forces which they fought against in a fight for life and death to guard the place.
Countless people died here, but this did not stop people's quest for immortality, and the blood-stained Kunlun Mountain Road finally opened this mysterious tomb.
Those who have entered the tomb are true experts, including tomb raiders from families with a heritage of more than 3,000 years, international mercenaries with the best skills, warlords and female agents who have entered undercover….
The traps inside the tombs killed countless people, but there were also many who remained at the end, and only a dozen people arrived at the end of the tombs after the great wave.
After a fight to the death, the male lead is killed by an undercover lineage girl from a family of tomb raiders, the blood stains the throne on the tomb and opens up the fantastical inner space of the mountain, fantasy and mythology come into play one after another, ghost soldiers and demons started killing them, and after all these battles, the only ones left are the nine-year-old child from the family of tomb raiders, and the undertaker female lead.
The child, chosen by the tomb mourners as the "best choice in history", swallowed the elixir of immortality and remained in the tomb forever, becoming the latest generation of tomb mourners.
And it is only here that the mystery of the matter is unveiled, and it turns out that the so-called stone tablet and the decryption are all traps set by the female lead.
Thousands of years ago, she was also a tomb raider who, together with her brother, swallowed the elixir of immortality, but at the cost of guarding this place for eternity and never leaving it more than a metre away.
And now, after more than a thousand years, she feels tired and weary, so, as she did a thousand years ago, she recruits a large number of people to raid the tomb and choose a new successor from among them to guard this place in her place for eternity.
The story ends with the female lead, dressed in an ancient outfit, singing a song from a thousand years ago, leaping from the throne of the tomb into the endless abyss inside the mountain.
After reading this story, Mei Mu Lan felt a shock in her heart that this was indeed a well-written novel and worthy of being followed and interpreted by so many people.
The production team has invested unlimited funds to produce an absolutely profitable production that will be passed on to the next generation; Wang Ye, a national and international director; Ling Yiyao, a movie queen, and Gu Junxi, a movie star in the lead roles; an international design team to create the costumes; and even the supporting characters are chosen from stars with millions of fans.
A lavish star cast, top-notch processing and production, a mysterious story background, and a large number of fans of the books could indeed make this film the top production of the year.
Mei Mu Lan closed the novel's webpage, opened the section on roles, and then found two supporting actresses who had "accidental" problems, so she guess it wasn't really an accident.
She looked at the two characters vacated above, one was the undercover agent of the tomb raiding family who killed the male lead, pure and bright looking, simple and innocent. It didn't fit her image at all, so she passed on the role.
The other character, an undercover female agent, is explicitly the mistress of a powerful warlord, a sultry-looking Shanghai beach dancer, but is actually a high-ranking intellectual undercover agent from a family of emerging powers.
She looked at the role and recalled the characteristics of the character and felt that it did resemble her. She could not help but curl her lips and smile, thinking: good, this is the role, she will be chosen.
Aunt Wen told her at dinner about the casting call to the Yokohama outside the suburbs in three days' time. Mei Mu Lan nodded when she heard that and started to arrange the plan.
Three days later, wearing an exquisite cheongsam, Mei Mu Lan slowly stepped down from the top-class sports car.
Her figure is sublime, her features are charming, her hair is curly as was popular at the time, and her make-up has a twenties and thirties flair.
She approached the Yokohama store on her thin, bare-backed heels, swaying like a weak willow.
Just like a real 1930s singer-songwriter, she walked slowly from the cabaret of Shanghai Beach to the eyes and hearts of those present.
At the moment of her appearance, everyone on the set stopped moving, the sound faded away, and everything was fixed on this woman who had stepped out of history.
A bearded man in his early thirties approached, a roll of scripts squeezed tightly in his hands, and then said in surprise and amazement,
“You're Miss Mei Mu Lan, right? I knew you were the one I was looking for when I saw your picture! It's you, no need to look any further,”
With a broad stroke of his pen, he wrote down Mei Mu Lan's name in the character field undercover agent.
Then he blushed and said,
“My name is Wang Ye and I'm the director.”
The corners of Mei Mu Lan's mouth are smiling, her lips are slightly hooked, and her charming phoenix eyes are slightly narrowed, slender and upturned, charming and seductive.
She exhaled softly,
“Hello, Director Wang Ye.”
The voice is so soft and mushy.
After greeting Mei Mu Lan, her eyes involuntarily fell on a woman in an ancient dress with a long green dress.
The woman didn't turn her head to look over like the others did.
She sat quietly in her recliner, her white, slender fingers tracing the pages of the script slowly, with gentle, yet harsh movements. At this moment she had her head slightly hung down, revealing a perfect and delicate side face.
Mei Mu Lan could not restrain the emotions that were violently evoked in her heart, she walked up quickly and reached the woman. Seeing her slowly look up, the perfect face that she had seen countless times before, officially entered her eyes.
Mei Mu Lan's breathing stopped as she desperately tried to control herself, but her body reacted with instinct.
Her cheeks burned red like the dusk sky, her beauty was startling, and her voice trembled slightly as she said,
“Hello Ling Yi Yao, I am Mei Mu Lan.”
She paused, then suddenly said aloud,
“I ...... I want to do prop play with you!”
Mei Mu Lan: "......"
Ling Yi Yao: "......"
Director Wang Ye, who followed her: "......"
The crew silently watching: "......"

QTVW Chapter 15
Showbiz* Sexy Queen (II)
----
The expression on Mu Lan's face froze as she felt her eyes blacken at the thought of the cannon fodder girl's odd wishes.
But no matter what, now that she has entered this mission world, then the original owner's wish must be fulfilled.
She sat up slightly and twisted her head to look at the glass of the car window on her left, which reflected a blurred young woman's face, and she thought to herself: from this moment on, she was Mei Mu Lan, and she would definitely take that Highland Flower, Ling Yi Yao, and pick it off, tie it up and play prop play together afterwards!
Silence….
It feels like something is broken….
Mu Lan slapped her face and retreated back to lie on the car seat….
She sighed helplessly, then picked up her purse, which was on the passenger seat, and took out her mobile phone and looked through it.
After unlocking the screen, she found that the screen saver was a costume from a youth movie that Ling Yi Yao starred in when she first started out. In this film, Ling Yi Yao's cheeks are still youthful and florid, her expression is cold and hollow, but under her eyes there is three parts deep love, three parts ignorance, three parts tenderness and finally a deep hidden fear.
In this film, she plays a high school student who is forced to enter society at an early age, and she shows the recklessness and stubbornness of this generation of young people in the face of the dark side of society.
For this role, Ling Yi Yao won the Best Newcomer Award and became famous.
The original owner was also attracted to Ling Yi Yao because she saw this movie and has been a fan of Ling Yi Yao ever since.
Mei Mu Lan once again sighed a sinful sentence, and when she saw the screensaver on her phone, she had no desire to change it, because in the original owner's phone, apart from a few friends' phone numbers, the remaining 32G of memory were all pictures and videos about Ling Yi Yao.
She ignored the picture and looked at the time, realizing that it was already three o'clock at midnight, and it happened to be the day of the university graduation party, the original owner died today and she crossed over, so she had no memories of the future now except for knowing the plot.
After drinking, the original owner drove dizzily towards Ling Yi Yao’s villa and ended up dying on the road.
Mei Mu Lan rubbed her forehead, she had just finished receiving the plot and memories and felt a dizzying sensation in her brain, coupled with the desire of the cannon fodder girl this time, it was really odd.
She thought helplessly that it would be better to find a place to rest for the night and plan the rest when she was sober.
With this in mind, she sat up, turned on her electronic search engine and, after looking at her current location, thought it would take her about two hours to get from here to Mei's house ; And it's still over an hour to Ling Yi Yao’s villa ; And it's only a ten-minute drive from Aunt Wen, Wen Xueluo's home.
Mei Mu Lan remembered that in the original owner's memory, there were many images of Aunt Wen.
Because this person, her biological mother's best friend, was also considered her godmother, although she had never called her that.
But when she was young, her birth mother and Aunt Wen were the best to her, and whenever she wanted something, Aunt Wen would find it for her.
After the death of her biological mother, the original owner had a fight with Father Mei because he immediately proposed to marry her stepmother for marriage, and she moved in with Aunt Wen for a long time, until the original owner went to college and lived at the academy.
And on Saturdays and Sundays when she was on holiday, the original owner would come back to stay with Aunt Wen's family, because of this reason, in Aunt Wen's villa, there was a room that belonged exclusively to the original owner.
Mei Mu Lan took another look at the navigation route before starting the car and driving towards Aunt Wen's villa.
Fifteen minutes later, Mei Mu Lan arrived at the door of Aunt Wen's villa, she parked the car and got out, walked to the door and rang the doorbell, after about half a minute, the door opened.
A mature woman in her early thirties with elegant features opened the door, she was wearing a thin silk nightgown at the moment and her long, wavy hair was in a messy manner, when she saw that the visitor was Mei Mu Lan, she raised her eyebrows and pulled the door open, then picked up a long, thin female cigarette at the door and lit it up to smoke.
In a haze of smoke, she saw Mei Mu Lan change her shoes and step into the living room, then asked,
“Aren't you at a college party today? Why, the party's over.”
Mei Mu Lan shook her head, sat down wearily in her chair and said lazily,
"Not yet, I left early, I just got back from a drink and I'm so dizzy."
Aunt Wen immediately took a few steps forward, lifted her hand and touched Mei Mu Lan's forehead, and said with a tsk,
“You have a fever, you know you always have a fever when you are drunk. Go, go to your room and stay there, I will get you some medicine.”
With that, she headed upstairs.
Mei Mu Lan looked at the background of her departure and frowned. She rubbed her brow, feeling very dizzy indeed.
But the original owner didn't seem to have this problem, or maybe the original owner didn't realize it, because she only got drunk twice and had no memory of it after she fell down. And Aunt Wen was able to know about it, it seems that Aunt Wen was really good to the original owner, ah.
Mei Mu Lan felt a lot of emotions in her heart, then obediently went back to her room and lay down on the **.
A strong smell of alcohol hit her nose and she sniffed her body and sighed helplessly, thinking to herself that she would take a bath tomorrow, she really had no energy left now.
She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, noticing that there were several blurry posters taped to it.
She pulled on the lamp in front of her bed, the light came on and she could see the person on the poster clearly, it was Ling Yi Yao.
Then she turned her head and looked at the layout of the room and noticed that the walls were covered with Ling Yi Yao’s posters and photos ; There are also small pictures of Ling Yi Yao on the bedside alarm clock and decorations ; And on the other side of the **, there were Ling Yi Yao character dolls all over the place.
Mei Mu Lan's scalp tingled as she looked at it, the intensity of this star-chasing was simply terrifying, worthy of being a brain-damaged fan, even thinking of Ling Yi Yao when she was dying.
And while she was staring at the doll, Aunt Wen came in with a glass of water and a medicine dish, and when she saw Mei Mu Lan's dull and stiff expression, she said,
“Auntie Wen knows you like Ling Yiyao, but you don't need to stare at her every moment. Come on, take the medicine first, it has some sleeping ingredients, after you finish taking the medicine, get some sleep, Auntie Wen has good news for you tomorrow.”
She smiled mischievously at Auntie Wen, then with a furrowed brow and a drooping mouth, she stuffed the pills into her mouth, drank water and swallowed them, and after taking the pills, she said "Thank you, Auntie Wen" and fell asleep with her head tilted.
When she woke up, she first washed and showered, changed into her home clothes, then went to the living room and saw the note on the table, which read,
“Auntie Wen has heated up a bowl of sweet porridge in the microwave, remember to eat it when you get up, I'll be home at 6pm and have something to tell you, don't run away!”
Mei Mu Lan curled her lips, went to the kitchen to heat up the sweet porridge, walked to the dining room and ate it in a sober manner.
Once she had eaten, she went back to her bedroom, locked the door and took a pen and paper out of the drawer to write down the main points of the mission.
First : The original owner's wish is to play prop play with Ling Yi Yao, the difficulty factor of this task is much more challenging than that of raiding the villain, so this matter can be put off until after she raids the villain, then just use some tricks to complete this matter.
Second : The original owner's mother died in an accident, but after Aunt Wen's investigation, there are a lot of strange things about this matter, the original owner's mother may not have died in an accident, but was killed by someone else. Then, she needs to get this matter investigated.
Third : And the most important question of all, which is, who was the person who killed the original owner? How did the original owner be given the □, and will they take a new course of action after seeing that she is not dead? These were big questions for her life, and she had to find out.
With this in mind, Mei Mu Lan recalled her skill collection. Her favorite skills include Future Physical Arts and Basic Firearms, so it seems she needs to spend some time practicing Future Physical Arts to become proficient, and keep her weapons ready for the enemy's secret attack.
With all of the above, the second and third are confusing, so all that can be done at the moment is to raid the villain.
The villainous BOSS, Ling Yi Yao, is currently a big star who is still acting. At this point in time when she crosses over, Ling Yiyao is filming a tomb raiding movie.
In addition to Ling Yiyao, who played the lead role, two other important female supporting characters were involved in accidents that prevented them from continuing their roles in the film.
In the plot, it is mentioned that because the actor playing the supporting actress unexpectedly withdrew, the main lead of this novel, Bai Jieying, with the help of the male lead, entered the cast and played the role of this supporting actress, and eventually became famous and became the best supporting actress of that year.
After that, Bai Jieying was chosen as one of the leading actresses in the film 《Love in a Fallen City》for her outstanding performance in the film, and collaborated with the movie queen Ling Yi Yao to perform a Republican human-ghost lesbian relationship.
This first domestic lesbian film created a national and international uproar and, as a result, Bai Jieying became the talk of the town and won many international awards, setting up her future as the most popular film queen ever.
When Mei Mu Lan thought of this matter, she couldn't help but frown, this matter would become the □□□□□ of Bai Jieying's fame, for many reasons, Mei Mu Lan decided to replace her in this movie, so as to rip off the villain.
In the plot, it was cryptically mentioned that Bai Jieying's appearance in 《Love in a Fallen City》 made the villainous BOSS of this novel, Ling Yi Yao, fall in love with her, and after learning that Bai Jieying was her uncle's lover, Ling Yi Yao was ruthless enough to kill her uncle, who raised her. Two relatives, who live together, have become enemies in order to win over Bai Jieying.
The male lead chooses to be patient in the face of Ling Yi Yao's ruthless advances, but Ling Yi Yao does not repent and instead becomes more aggressive, even hurting Bai Jieying's feelings, so the male lead chooses to be righteous and kill his enemy, and the villain Ling Yi Yao ends up as a corpse in the wilderness.
As soon as Mei Mu Lan thought of this, she immediately made up her mind that she must win the supporting role in the tomb raider movie.
But how should she fight for it?
The asset she has on her hands is this exquisite and demonic skin, and every move she makes is flirtatious and enchanting with a twinkle in her eye, in addition to the fact that the original owner grew up studying theatre and grew up in a strict family of educated people, she is not only charming and attractive, but also carries the unique nobility and arrogance of a woman from a noble family.
It must be said that the character she crossed this time was a rare beauty. Mei Mu Lan drooled with emotion at the woman in the mirror, her face and body were indeed the most beautiful and stunning she had ever seen.
Mei Mu Lan reached out and stroked the silhouette of the woman in the mirror, the corners of her mouth pursed and a wicked smile was drawn up, the woman in the mirror was like a seductive demon, with a soul-stirring charm.
Now, the body's hardware is perfectly prepared, and she's on a mission to play acting itself, so her acting skills, too, are definitely of a high standard.
So, everything is ready, all she needs now is an east wind.
Mu Lan walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa, deep in thought about how to create an east wind that would allow her to enter the cast of this tomb raider movie.
As she frowned in deep thought, the villa door opened and Aunt Wen walked in carrying two boxes of cakes, she saw Mei Mu Lan sitting on the sofa at the moment with a clear sadness between her brows, her breath caught in her throat, she lowered her head, changed into her slippers and by the time she raised her head again, she was back to her usual gentle self
She walked over to Mei Mu Lan and sat down, unpacked the cake box, packed it up and handed one to Mei Mu Lan, then she poked the soft cake with her fork and said in a slow voice,
“Mu Lan, a friend of Auntie Wen's is a big director who recently ran into some trouble while making a film. He wants to find an actress of your type to be the supporting actress in his film. Auntie Wen already sent him your photos the other day. After he saw them, he was satisfied and said he wanted to meet with you to talk about them, I wonder what you plan to do?”
Mei Mu Lan asked with a tilted head as she savoured the sweet cream,
“Who is this great director? What was he filming?”
“His name is Wang Ye and he is a well-known director in China. He is recently making a tomb raiding movie named, I can't remember the name, I think it is called 《The Tibetan Antelope》? It's not right, is it?”
Aunt Wen frowned in confusion.
Mei Mu Lan said with surprise,
“It's《The Burial Man》, Auntie Wen, you're my idol, I want to go!”
This is the film, this is the tomb raider film in which Ling Yi Yao stars as the female lead, now everything is in place, she must seize this opportunity.

QTVW Chapter 14
Showbiz* Sexy Queen (I)
----
A cold, mechanical, emotionless voice rang out in the back of her mind:
【Points earned: 700 points;
Accumulated points: 700 points;
Skill Collection: Beginner Cookery; Future Physical Arts; Basic Firearms; Business Basics;】
【The host Mu Lan has reached 500 points or more and has successfully entered the mission criteria;
The system redeems 500 points on its own to unlock the mission interface;
Host Mu Lan has officially entered virtual time and space and opened the mission interface;】
Mu Lan opened her eyes and saw above her head, a familiar ceiling.
She blinked, then sat up and looked around, full of confusion, and realised that the environment she was now in looked very familiar.
Like the teddy bear on the bed, the narrow wooden table opposite the bed, the curtains on the left side of the body, the sunflower patterned cabinet on the right side of her body ......
The room is furnished very similarly to the bedroom of the flat she had shared with someone after working.
She put on the slippers by the bed and went to the window.
To test her suspicions, she took a deep breath and pulled the curtains back.
What meets her eyes is a scene that is completely beyond imagination.
Outside the window, there are countless stars and planets, like an imaginary painting of a river of stars in a cosmic narrative. Within the large space in front of her, Mu Lan could clearly see a large group of debris floating unsupported in the air a long distance away.
She swallowed hard and brushed the curtains shut.
She took a few steps back and went to sit on the edge of the bed, her expression blank, for a moment, before she registered that she had, in fact, died a long time ago.
After her death in a car accident, she is chosen as the host by a so-called virtual time and space system, and then follows the system's arrangement to travel through virtual time and space to complete various tasks.
And every time she completes a mission, her memory is cleared, leaving, in the end, only the cold collection of points and skills on her personal data.
Just a moment ago, she completed her second traversal mission.
And she has accumulated points for the mission and reached the minimum criteria for the system to set the level, so she is now considered to have opened part of the system interface?
Just as she was deep in thought, she felt a tug on her finger.
She looked down and saw the clean teddy bear that had been on the bed, now sitting with its two short legs crossed, sitting next to her lap as it reached out with its fluffy paws and pawed at her.
It saw Mu Lan noticing it and grinned at her, revealing a black hollow hole that looked cute and creepy.
Then, a real black sphere popped out of its mouth, and that sphere flew quickly to Mu Lan's hand, and then the black sphere extended away and became a translucent white sheet of paper.
A few lines of black numbers slowly seeped out of the white paper, which read:
【Host Mu Lan's second mission, points analysis:
Accumulated points: 100 points + ;
Points used: 100 points - ;
Raiding villains: 200 points + ;
Fulfilling a wish: 100 points + ;
Reputation: 100 points + ;
Breaking the Mary Sue Aura: 100 points + ;
Save Millions of Employees: 100 points + ;
Original owner satisfaction: 100 points + ;】
Mu Lan looked at the lines of points parsed on the white paper, but in her mind she did not have the slightest impression on her previous crossing.
With some mixed feelings, she crumpled the white paper into a ball, threw it to the floor, closed her eyes, leaned back and lay down on her **.
In the back of her mind, the familiar voice rang out again:
【Host Mu Lan's personal information:
Points gained: 800 points ;
Redeemed points: 600 points ;
Accumulated points: 200 points ;
Skill collection: Beginner's Cookery ; Future Physical Arts ; Basic Firearms ; Business Basics ;】
���Insufficient points balance to force entry into the next mission world;
New missions are being randomly selected ......
New mission download complete, official host time transfer.】
After an extremely uncomfortable twisting sensation, Mu Lan opened her eyes.
She looked up to find that she was currently sitting in a speeding car, and it was clear that the driver of the car, who was currently driving, was herself.
And she saw, less than half a metre in front of her, a large truck loaded with steel pipes, moving at high speed.
Mu Lan drew a cold breath as she realised what was happening. She quickly squeezed the steering wheel and let her foot off the gas a little, waiting until the car had slowed down a little and was more than fifty metres away from the truck at a safe distance before she breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked around and realized that at that moment she was driving a convertible car, driving at an even speed on the highway. She thought of the image of her crossing earlier and her forehead broke into a cold sweat and her heart beat violently.
If she had come to her senses even half a second later, she would have crashed directly into that truck and had a car wreck and died.
With trembling hands, acting on her body's instinct, she tapped the electronic search function on the convertible, then checked the road conditions while keeping an eye on the motorway's road signs.
And so, after a half hour or so of turning left and right on the tell-tale highway, she finally left the highway and came to a stop on a street by a small town.
Only when she stopped the car and put the convertible hood back on, in a sort of safe and enclosed environment, did she put her head on the steering wheel and pant heavily and raggedly, her body felt like it hurt like hell everywhere, and her stomach felt especially intense, like it was burning with fire.
At that moment, a familiar cold mechanical voice in the back of her head rang out, saying,
【The host, Mu Lan, has crossed the body and has been completely infected by a deadly poison;】
【The system redeems 50 points on its own to restore the body of a crossover cannon fodder character.】
【"Ding", the system has finished repairing the body, wishing the host Mu Lan a successful completion of the mission.】
Mu Lan immediately felt a sense of relief and relaxation in her body, and she said to herself: It turned out that her body had just been poisoned, and it was estimated that the original owner of this body, who was killed by the poison, was then killed in a car accident while driving on the road and was mutilated. I guess this cannon fodder character's wish is to take revenge on the killer who poisoned her.
Still gasping for breath, she waited until she had completely calmed down and was ready to receive her memories and the plot, and sure enough, about three minutes later, a huge wave of plots and memories then came to her mind.
She banged her head on the steering wheel and endured the headache, waiting for the pain to dissipate before she pressed the button on the sports car and flattened the cushion down, reclined on the back of the chair and rested with her eyes closed.
The novel she crossed this time, the story takes place in the setting of the entertainment industry in modern society.
The story is loosely based on the female lead, an artist from a bookish family, who goes completely dark after being betrayed by her scumbag boyfriend and film queen best friend. With the help of the male lead, the female lead enters the entertainment industry and grows from a new actress to the most popular movie queen in the industry, and successfully abuses the scum and her best friend to make things right with the male lead.
The subject matter of the story is nothing new and the setting is rather simple.
After reading the plot, Mu Lan focused on the memories she received.
According to the original owner's memory, she could know that the name of this body she was currently crossing was Mei Mu Lan.
As mentioned in the plot, Mei Mu Lan is the step-sister of the female lead, who is withdrawn and rebellious. Mei Mu Lan always speaks ill of the heroine and is always robbing her of her things.
In the plot, it is mentioned that Mei Mu Lan is the step-sister of the female lead, her personality is withdrawn and rebellious because of reuniting family, the relationship between Mei Mu Lan and the female lead is very poor. Mei Mu Lan always speaks ill of the female lead and is always robbing her of things.
But all in all, Mei Mu Lan is, at best, a cannon fodder character in the plot. Because she only makes two official appearances in the entire novel.
The first time she is depicted about is the night the female lead learns that the scumbag is having an adulterous affair with her best friend, she returns home distraught and encounters her stepsister's snide comments, thus successfully blackening out.
The second depiction, on the other hand, comes in the third chapter of the novel. During her graduation party, Mei Mu Lan's car explodes and her bones are lost in a series of car accidents while drunk driving. At the funeral of Mei Mu Lan, the cool, crazy and domineering male lead of this novel meets the beautiful female lead, who is as beautiful as a hibiscus, and is instantly attracted to her, A tangled love affair between the female and male leads unfolds.
After reading it, Mu Lan simply had to vomit blood, the original owner is the qualified cannon fodder character ah, totally to push the plot forward, and equipped with a supporting female character who, after realizing her worth, the author just writes her dead with a broad stroke so that she doesn't give the female lead a hard time.
The corners of Mu Lan's eyes twitched and she silently scowled, since she had now crossed over to become Mei Mu Lan, the plot would only serve as a reference.
She closed her eyes and once again recalled the memories she had received.
Mei Mu Lan, the youngest daughter of a prestigious family, is 21 years old and has just graduated from the National Academy of Drama in the field of International Theatre, with extraordinary talent. She is a worthy national actress and became famous very early in her career.
The Mei family, on the other hand, are all involved in the arts and are all very successful in their fields. The family atmosphere was serious and everyone carried the air of an artist.
Her father was the Headmaster of the National Theatre Academy and her mother was the Chairman of the National Theatre Academy; her parents were married on a blind date and they were not very close, her mother died unexpectedly when the original owner was 17 years old. Half a year later, Father Mei marries back the foreign wife he had kept outside, the female lead's biological mother, Mei Mu Lan's current stepmother.
The plot mentions that Father Mei and her stepmother were childhood playmates and were very close, but her stepmother's family fell overnight and Mei's family would not allow them to continue their relationship. The two were then forced to separate, marry separately and have children. When both their other halves dead, the two hooked up again.
Mu Lan's head was full of black lines, so the female lead of this novel is actually born to her stepmother and another man? She is not really from a prestigious family, but from the marketplace.
And the original owner felt a lot of things wrong about her mother's unexpected death. She believed that her mother was killed by her stepmother, so she never gave her stepmother a good look, and her position in Father Mei's heart, became lower and lower, and finally ignored her.
After Mu Lan crossed over to this body, she knew that the original owner's death in a car accident was not due to an accident, but was man-made. Because the original owner was first poisoned by the □ and died in a car crash afterwards.
So, there's a lot of □□□ in there, who is the person who poisoned her? How did the original owner's mother die?
The original owner did not know this and just blamed the incident on her stepmother.
Objectively, this is indeed a strong possibility, but not a certainty, as it is not mentioned in the plot or in the memory, so it is part of the scope of Mu Lan's mission to eliminate all the threatening characters around her and carry out the task of raiding the villain.
Mei Mu Lan had sensed something was wrong before she died, as the pain in her body was so sudden.
Her body had always been fine, but this time, the pain killed her straight away. She was very upset and resentful when her car was wrecked.
And her wish is - to play with the movie queen Ling Yi Yao, play with props, bondage play and other heavy play….
Silence….
Mu Lan felt her whole body start to ache again, she must have gotten the wrong script.
Mu Lan looked at the original owner's memories again undeterred, and found that this time the memories of her wishes were very vivid, because a second before the original owner died, in her mind, many images of her and Ling Yi Yao in this way and that appeared.
Silence….
F*ck!
I really don't want to say anything else, original owner you died a good and beautiful death!
When you're dying, instead of thinking about revenge, you're thinking about prop-playing... what a talent!
Mu Lan let out a long, breathless sigh, her head hurting like hell.
The most crucial thing is that this Ling Yi Yao, the villainous BOSS of this novel, is a woman born with a cold nature, the male lead's own niece, the actual young mistress of the mafia forces and the unattainable cold-faced movie queen of the entertainment industry.
Ah ...... cannon fodder female support, you have to punk me when you are dying!
Mu Lan was in tears and could already see her miserable future.

QTVW Chapter 13
The Future* President's Fiancee (End)
----
Later that day, the news media was reporting about the major news that happened.
"...... The An family, a prestigious family that has been passed down for thousands of years, exploded a feud today within the powerful family. The fourth son of the first branch of the An family, in order to seize the position of the An family patriarch, cruelly poisoned his own father and three brothers, and finally even drove a flying car into his own sister, An Mu Lan, causing her to be in a coma in the Zhongzheng Intensive Care Unit, and it is said that there is a great possibility that she will not be able to wake up and become a vegetable. This incident is so bad that it is horrifying to hear that the four sons of the An family, who have so heartlessly murdered their loved ones, have now been arrested and taken into custody and will be tried in court in half a month."
Seven days later, the news media reported,
“…..Recently, the Zhang family, a family with a thousand-year heritage, has been revealed to have committed crimes, and after a police investigation, the matter has been substantiated by human and material evidence, and the police have attached great importance to this matter and set up a special operation team to examine the case.”
“…..The new head of the Zhang family - Zhang Yao - is nowhere to be found after this incident was revealed following her success in defeating her brother to be the head. According to the confidential report, the incident that led to the rapid downfall of the Zhang family because of the evidence was actually planned by Zhang Yao, whose aim was to take revenge on the Zhang family.”
Fifteen days later, the news media reported,
“….. Zhang's company shares have plummeted, the company's partners have all asked to withdraw their capital, the company's participants have frantically sold their shares, the company's employees have resigned on their own initiative, the company's internal affairs cannot continue to operate normally, and the company has been officially declared bankrupt this afternoon.”
“….. The four sons of the An family were tried in court on Sunday, and because of their crimes and the four and a half lives they carried, the court finally ruled that they should be shot in Autumn.
….. There have been recent developments in the case of the An family's tragic filicide. According to an internal staff member of the An family, the An family's four sons' crazy behavior this time is actually, in fact, originated from an argument over a beauty, according to this person, the four young masters of the An family are all in love with the beautiful woman and have fought each other many times, according to the circumstances of that day, it should be that they were fighting amongst themselves, and the fourth son of the An family, in a moment of anger, poisoned his three own brothers and, over the objection of his father, killed his own father in the process.”
“…..The people's public opinion was focused on this national beauty, and many people let it be known that they were willing to throw a thousand dollars to get a glimpse of her.”
A month later, the news media reported,
“…..The police have arrested all the Zhang family members involved in the case, and they are now in custody, awaiting the court's verdict in a month's time. Depending on the severity of the offence, the sentence is a term of criminal law. A thousand-year-old family, the Zhang family, collapses.”
“Ling Xihan, the president of the Ling family, bought the Zhang family company at a low price, cleaned up the mess of the Zhang family at the government's sign, took over hundreds of millions of Zhang family company employees and reduced the layoff and unemployment rate for the society.”
“…..According to sources, the national beauty who caused the scandal in the An family has recently become the top beauty in the Moon Street, and it is said that many tycoons are now willing to pay sky-high prices in order to see such a red-faced beauty.”
Three months later, the news media reported,
“…..All the members of the Zhang family pillar were sentenced to life imprisonment, and the Zhang family disappeared from the stage of history….. Zhang Yao, the head of the Zhang family, was found by a tourist in the wilderness with her arms and legs severed and her tongue pulled out by the roots. Our reporter interviewed the people involved and concluded that the incident stemmed from the brutal vengeance of the remnants of the Zhang family party.”
“…..The beautiful woman who attracted the An family's attention, sat on the stage at Moon Street for two months, receiving dozens of clients daily, creating millions of dollars in value for Moon Street, making it the world's number one place for sex in the future.”
Six months later, the news media reported,
“…..President Ling, who has been in the limelight in recent years, has successfully saved the dying company with her outstanding management skills after precisely acquiring the Zhang family, and has ranked first in the statistical results of this year's wealth list, with a personal fortune that rivals that of any other country.”
“…..President Ling was officially elected to this year's government congress as an outstanding entrepreneur. This move represents that after making a name for herself in the business world, President Ling has turned her attention to politics and has been elected as a government official, making a high-profile entry into the political arena, and is very close to the head of the Li family, a giant in the political world.”
“…..Yesterday afternoon, President Ling was photographed by Entertainment Network reporters as she walked in and out of the hotel with Miss Li, daughter of the political family, and late last night, the two were seen walking out of the hotel hand in hand, however, the two parties involved denied this fact one after another when interviewed by the media.”
A year later, the news media reported,
“…..The President of the Ling Company, Ling Xihan, has become the number one marriage partner in the world. With her wealth and status as a rising political star, many men and women are attracted to her, and her fiancée, Miss An Mu Lan, has now become a vegetable and there is no telling when she will wake up.”
“…..Miss Ling Xihan confessed her love for her fiancée, promising to wait for her until the day she wakes up, and said straight out: An Mu Lan will be my only fiancée, my only wife! This act of infatuation has touched everyone and made more people in the community witness the beauty of true love.”
An Economist talks about social reality in this matter,
“President Ling played a good hand this time, ah, she confessed to her fiancée Miss An, showing her true feelings and making other partners more comfortable to work with her, which increased the performance of Ling's company, making it leap into the future world's strongest economic hegemon in half a month's time. This wealth has helped her open the door to the political world, making her a rising star, a good plan, we admire it.”
Rumour has it that the economist disappeared without a trace on the second day.
The noise died down and a cold, mechanical voice rang out in the back of her head, saying in a monotone voice:
【Host Mu Lan's order to leave the mission world at regular intervals is lifted, prepare to restart the virtual time and space system;】
【Restart countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1;】
【The restart was successful, welcome host Mu Lan back to the mission world.】
The words fell to the surface and the woman, lying in her sick**, slowly opened her eyes.
An Mu Lan felt her eyes dry and she closed them again as her own voice rang out in her head, saying,
【Host Mu Lan requests the system to redeem 50 points in exchange for good health】
【50 points have been successfully redeemed and the system is repairing the host's physical body;】
【"Ding", the system repair is complete, good luck to the host for completing the raid long ago.】
An Mu Lan felt her body recover in a flash, she opened her eyes, pulled the corners of her mouth, then sat up and picked up her personal terminal that was sitting on the edge of her hospital bed, clicking on the top contact, a familiar figure then appeared on the screen and she said with a crooked smile,
"My dear fiancée, long time no see?"
“…..”
The person on the other end smiled deeply and she murmured with curled lips,
"It's been a long time!"
After hanging up, An Mu Lan walked out of bed and pulled back the heavy curtains as she leaned against the window and looked out at the vivid and lively scenery.
Although she had been in a coma for almost a year, in fact, she had just jumped straight from a year ago to the present, and she was sick**, when she received the hospital treatment, a timed disengagement procedure was set up autonomously to await today's awakening.
It was all a bitter plan, and she knew that if she took her time with Ling Xihan, there was a good chance that her mission would not be completed, so, in order to get Ling Xihan to take that step, she chose this layout.
She had been trying to provoke Zhang Yao in the An family by acting close to Ling Xihan and saying "I love you" to her in front of everyone, this should have irritated Zhang Yao the most. She saw a flash of white light then and knew her chance had come.
She also didn't really pass out after being hit by the flying car, but chose to become a vegetable for a year after considering it at her discretion. She went out on a limb, hoping that this time the layout would give her a good result.
A month later, in the world of the future, a grand and luxurious wedding took place in the most beautiful and romantic sky garden.
After An Mu Lan woke up, Ling Xihan had been protecting her as if she were her most precious possession, unwilling to let her out of her sight for even a second.
The wedding, which had been delayed for a year, had been prepared by Ling Xihan long before everything was ready.
By the time An Mu Lan had changed into her white wedding dress and walked onto the red carpet, she saw the tall woman at the end of the carpet, now wearing a red and fiery polar-fitting gown, like a blazing flame in the sun, it radiates a heat that can burn a person completely.
An Mu Lan smiled brightly and walked slowly but firmly towards Ling Xihan.
Facing the priest who officiated the ceremony, they exchanged rings and kissed in front of the guests, before An Mu Lan smiled and said,
"Thank you for waiting for me being a belated bride."
Lingshihan looked at her with an expression on her face that had never been softer and warmer, and she said with a light smile,
"And you will show me that it was worth all the waiting. My wife, I love you."
A familiar emotionless mechanical voice rings out in her head,
【Mission accomplished ......】
An Mu Lan blinked back tears, her eyebrows slightly arched and the two dimples at the corners of her mouth deep, just as she had been at first sight. She wrapped her arms around Ling Xihan's neck and kissed her, and in this intimate position, whispered,
"I love you too, Ling Xihan."
【..... cutting the corresponding memories of the system's host, Mu Lan.
The system host, Mu Lan, has exited the cannon fodder character "An Mu Lan".】

QTVW Chapter 12
The Future* President's Fiancee (XII)
----
Early the next morning, the An family's living room was filled with visitors.
Sitting at the head of the table is the current head of the An family, Father An; while sitting on the left side of him are his sons and his daughter, and the guests from outside; and sitting on his right side are a dozen of the actual elders of the An family, who look the youngest to be over 60 years old, a genuine group of seniors and elders of the An family.
In the future world, a thousand-year-old family like the An family would normally have a family head who made external decisions, while internally, there would be a group of elders who acted as guides to the whole family, and even the family head could not disobey their orders.
This time, Father An had called these elders in order to silence these elders, so that they would give up for the time being and expel the An family oldest son from the An family's circle of power.
Father An looked at the elders sitting on his right and sneered in his heart, but said calmly on the surface,
"I have convened this clan assembly to make an announcement, and that is to temporarily hand over the affairs of the An family to my daughter, An Mu Lan, who has been acting as the assistant to the president of Ling Xihan for all these years. I wonder if the elders have any objections to this proposal of mine?"
The elders of the An family did not move, and a relatively young elder, speaking slowly and with a trifle of dissatisfaction in his voice, said,
"Clan head, we acknowledge that you are a capable and qualified clan head, but that doesn't mean that we, the elders, all have to listen to you. You previously allowed your rotten sons to manage the affairs of the family, and what happened? You recall how much trouble they have caused our An Family over the past few years, and how much they have disgraced our An Family. The An family's reputation is in tatters, and they continue to do as they please."
He cursed first, and when he saw that Father An's face remained unchanged, he coughed twice in defiance, then sat back sarcastically.
The eyes of the group of elders fell on the eldest of them all, and the old man narrowed his eyes and said,
"For the An family, back then I chose you as the head of the family so that you could lead our An family to glory, and over the years, you've always done a good job, but this time, you've crossed the line!
The so-called patriarch's first priority is to put the legacy and development of the An family as a top priority, but look at how you've done it, pushing your childish son into the acting patriarch position, then letting him cause trouble, and now trying to push your daughter out, don't think that because we old men have aged, we're really deaf and blind, we admit that Mu Lan is capable, but how old is Mu Lan this year, she's only just graduated from university a few days ago? Are you going to use the An family as a toy for you to raise your children?"
He spoke in an unhurried manner, and after he had finished, he even gave a light glance at Father An, causing his face to flush red at once, hurriedly explaining that,
"Second Uncle, you misunderstand. I ......"
Father An struggled to explain, but the elders just sat on the sofa without moving. Father An hadn't had anyone disrespect him like this since he became the patriarch, and today these people were acting like a straight-up slap in his face, and it was all because of his four unworthy sons.
This made him stand up in anger and yell at his sons, who were sitting to his left,
"Oldest! I've already negotiated a marriage with the Li family, you get this lowly woman out of here now, I don't want to see her in front of me again."
Father An had originally intended to retreat as an advance to satisfy the Elders first and to plan things afterwards, but he had overestimated his son.
Only to see that the oldest clenched his fist on his knee, he gritted his teeth and looked at Father An as if he were dead, then looked at Ye Zixuan with a sad, grieved face, Ye Zixuan had long been frightened by this serious environment at this time and was now teary-eyed, which made the oldest very impatient.
He retorted regardless,
"Father, I really love Ye Zixuan, please don't break us up, she is a good girl, I have been such a jerk all these years because I didn't have her by my side to support me, but now that she is back, she will become my wife and be a qualified matriarch's wife, she is so gentle and kind, she will definitely be able to carry our An family forward. "
Father An was dumbfounded!
The second one, who was better at reading people's faces than the older one, just raised his glasses on the bridge of his nose calmly and said,
"Big brother, I know you love Ye Zixuan, but you can't be capricious and put the An family out of your mind,"
When Father An heard these words, his face finally looked better, but what the second one said next almost made Father An faint with anger.
The second continued,
"I love Zixuan too, we both can't live without her, but the An family is equally inseparable from you, so it's better for me to marry her, I don't want to be the patriarch anyway, as long as big brother marries Miss Li, we can continue to be together."
When An Mu Lan heard this, her eyes glazed out of their sockets. Father An was even worse, he could no longer stand and his figure was wobbly.
Ah, how pathetic, thought An Mu Lan, sitting on the sidelines, gloating.
Father An was simply furious, his fingers trembling as he pointed at the second oldest, unable to utter a word in anger.
At this moment, Lao San added to the chaos and stood up, his teary-eyed eyes extended his arm towards Ye Zixuan in a gesture similar to a call. He said,
"Brothers, I love Zixuan, I would give everything I have for her, my heart, my liver, my life and my love!"
He twisted his face, as if wiping away tears, and then said righteously,
"So, it's better for me to marry Zixuan. Brothers, you must do what father says properly, the An family is fine without me, but without you, it's like a flying bird leaving its wings, a soaring fish leaving the sea, a house losing its pillars, how can you be so unreasonable. The An family will have no future without you, so you must be good.
Even if Zixuan and I get married, we can still be together forever as we remember, and I won't get in the way of you communicating your feelings."
When An Mulan heard this, the five features on her face completely shifted and a mouthful of old blood stuck in her throat, she raised her eyes and carefully looked at Father An, seeing that his expression at this moment was not much different from her own.
An Mu Lan's heart tsked and sighed: worthy of being a heroine with a Mary Sue aura over her body, even though so many years had passed, even though the weather had changed her initial appearance, the true love between them would never change!
What's with the QY vibe?
At that moment, a slightly cool palm landed on her hand, An Mu Lan turned her head to look over and saw a smiling Ling Xihan, who, in a rare moment of disregard for the scene, came close to her ear and whispered,
"It's a good thing you're genetically mutated or I would have returned you."
An Mu Lan nodded, yes, she was excluded from the core of the An family, and now it seemed fortunate that this was the case, or else there would have been another brain dead.
The scene became entertaining as Father An collapsed unsteadily onto the sofa, his face had an expression of irony as he gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Zixuan, that look, as if he saw Ye Zixuan as the culprit.
The elders of the clan, worthy of being elites who had lived half a lifetime, remained lofty and calm even under such circumstances, handsome and very dashing!
At this time, the grumpy fourth son rose to his feet, his gaze sweeping coldly over the crowd present, and said,
"Isn't it just a patriarchship? Why can't I be the head of the clan? Do you all have to hold on to us and force us to death before you are satisfied? Father, I think you are also old and it is time for you to retire from the stage of history, after this, I will be the one to carry the An family forward, and as for you old and immortal people, I will be the first to clean you up."
Father An covered his heart with a broken expression of "You're heartless, you're shameless, you're unreasonable".
The fourth son spun around in a dashing manner and cursed everyone present, one by one, without repeating the words, fully enriching An Mu Lan's vocabulary and thinking: I am impressed.
He paced slowly to Father An's side, picked up the cup of tea that was sitting next to him and played with it, saying viciously,
"I have put the □ in today's tea, none of you can escape today."
The crowd looked at him with a what's-his-name expression, which gave him great satisfaction, and lifting his head, he said,
"Go to hell."
The crowd still looked at him with that what's-his-name expression, which was, how shall I say, complicated. But simply put, it's the look of looking at an idiot.
An Mu Lan couldn't look anymore, she reminded kindly and in a whisper,
"But, Fourth Brother, none of us, apart from Father and our three brothers, have ever had tea?"
The Elders, Ling Xihan and Zhang Yao: "Yes."
Fourth: "......"
Oldest, second and third: "......"
Father An: "You brat!"
With that, a mouthful of old blood spurted out and he collapsed on the ground.
The image of blood splattering three feet is what An Mu Lan has now seen.
The scene rose in confusion as the oldest of the Elders spoke into his personal terminal,
"Come in, you guys."
The door opened forcibly from the outside and a large group of people poured in. Police officers in green uniforms tied up the fourth son and took him away; doctors in long white coats carried away the eldest, the second and the third, as well as Father An; maids in pink dresses cleaned up the blood on the floor of the room.
It all happened so fast and so suddenly that it was all resolved before An Mu Lan could get back to her senses.
The old man looked unchanged, only holding his cane, and with the help of those beside him, he walked up to An Mu Lan and held out his hand.
An Mu Lan was quick to reach out for a handshake, but his dry, thin hand turned in the direction of a fair-complexioned, sharply boned hand, and he said in a respectful tone,
"President Ling, I've made you laugh, but it's all going according to our plan, and I hope you won't forget our agreement."
Ling Xihan smiled lightly and said gently,
"Naturally, I won't forget, but Elder, there's one more thing you haven't said, right?"
The elder came to his senses and said to An Mu Lan,
"After this, the patriarch of the An family who is in charge is yours, so marry and have children with President Ling and live a good life, do you hear me?"
An Mu Lan made an out-of-sorts "Huh? Ah! Ah ......" a few times, then watched the group of elders leave.
It was only when Ling Xihan took her hand and walked outside the An residence that she came back to her senses and said with a surprised look on her face,
"You did this, didn't you? How did you do it? How did you get so clever? Here, give me a kiss."
And with that, she kissed her forcibly.
The corners of Ling Xihan's mouth curled up slightly and she wrapped an emotional An Mu Lan in her arms as she said,
"I said I would settle this matter, I just spoke to the elders of your An family about something that solved your An family's immediate problem. After that, I ordered a few more people to get in your brothers' heads and whisper on their ears a bit. I didn't expect things to go so well either, it's been a long time since I've met an opponent like this, other than being a bit disgusting, it's not bad."
That said, there was a bit of lamentation, because such a brain-dead opponent will really never be seen again.
An Mu Lan snickered, a light shone in her eyes, and with a big smile on her face, she said,
"I love you! You're a brilliant woman!"
"Well, you're getting all worked up over a little thing, lets go home, I'm hungry."
Ling Xihan rubbed her long hair and said dotingly.
An Mu Lan stood obediently with her head bowed, allowing her to be rubbed and pinched.
Suddenly, a white light flashed before her eyes.
An Mu Lan's gaze glinted and she vigorously pushed Ling Xihan aside before a violent collision came to her body and she felt the wind and pain. Her body landed on the ground with a "thud".
She collapsed in a pool of blood, and felt the blood inside her body as it trickled out, what a familiar sight, it reminded her of when she had died.
With a pale face, Ling Xihan stood up and walked over to pick up An Mu Lan.
Then without the slightest emotion, as if looking at a dead man, she glanced at Zhang Yao who was sitting in the flying car laughing maniacally, before turning around and entering a flying car and heading to the hospital.
In the white corridor, Ling Xihan lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly; she hadn't smoked in a long time. She had always been a heavy smoker and couldn't quit, but then how did she quit?
Thoughts drifted through her mind as a familiar girl, pouting, put her arm around her and wrinkled her nose,
"Don't smoke, they say that's bad, it affects the quality of kissing."
Ling Xihan extinguished her cigarette, then turned around and left the hospital.
The doctor's words** echoed in her mind,
"The Miss An Mu Lan, who has suffered a severe trauma to the back of her head, has affected the nerves in her brain and may become a vegetable, but President Ling, please rest assured that our hospital will do our best to treat your fiancée."
A vegetable?!
No matter what, before that happens, she needs to find a person and get it off her chest.

QTVW Chapter 11
The Future* President's Fiancee (XI)
----
The scene fell silent for a moment, and no one spoke again.
An Mu Lan lowered her head and her gaze fell on Father An. At that moment, Father An was holding a black jade walking stick in his hand, his hand was rubbing on the top of the stick, and the veins on his hand were clearly visible, so you could see that he was very angry now.
An Mu Lan's eyes rolled, she knew that what Father An had said earlier were just words of anger, he definitely did not mean to hand over the An family to her.
He is probably saying this now because he is under pressure from the family clan to let himself go out and be a shield for a while, and once he waits until the pressure from the family side diminishes, he will definitely take away these rights immediately.
An Mu Lan snorted disdainfully, in fact she had no intention of taking over the An family power, but seeing this attitude of Father An, she had the bad intention to sit this matter out and give him a blow.
With that in mind, she thought to herself: It looks like she needs to plan something in secret.
Her thoughts were dark in her mind when Father An, sitting beside her, let out a wrenching cough that interrupted her thoughts.
She hurriedly took a few steps forward, bent down and patted Father An's back, and said in a soft tone,
"Father, no matter what, good health is the most important thing. I think this matter, the brothers didn't mean it, this Miss Ye Zixuan, after all, hasn't come back for a long time, the brothers are understandably a bit excited to see her now and said some angry words. Father, you'd better go back and rest first, I will talk to my brothers, just don't worry."
When Father An heard these words, a hundred different feelings came to his mind.
He looked at the meek An Mu Lan with a complicated expression and then at his four indifferent sons before finally letting out a long sigh and saying,
"That's all, let's stop here for today, Mu Lan, you can stay tonight, the clan elders are coming over tomorrow and you haven't seen them for a long time, stay and meet them tomorrow and exchange pleasantries with the elders."
With that, without waiting for An Mu Lan to answer, he stood up himself and, with An Mu Lan's help, left the living room, never again paying attention to the people sitting in the living room with different expressions.
After An Mu Lan helped Father An upstairs to his bedroom on the first floor, Father An sat**, silently looking out the window, and said in an emotional tone,
"In fact, I have long forgotten about that incident back then, and you are not entirely to blame for that incident with your mother. I now love you as my own daughter, your four brothers are not fighting for their lives, I hope that between you siblings, there will not be a divide, you are after all blood dissolved in water."
An Mu Lan knew that he was now playing the affection card, saying nice things, but in reality, he was doing something completely different.
Father An coughed, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and continued breathlessly,
"When you meet the clan elders tomorrow, I want you to put in a good word for your brothers in front of them, they are still young and sometimes it is human to do the wrong thing. If you do as I say, I will share some of the shares of the An family with you, but ......"
His eyes grew stern as he said,
"Don't think about what doesn't belong to you, let alone touch it, or I'll break off the father-daughter relationship with you."
An Mu Lan cursed in her heart: after warmth, the threats began, it seemed that the original owner had definitely picked up the pieces, ah. Giving a candy and a whip, completely domesticating a pet, how could this be the attitude a father should have towards his own daughter?!
She hated it in her heart, but smiled warmly on her face and said,
"What are you saying, father? My brothers and I are from the same mother, so if I don't help them, who will? Don't worry. Father, rest for a while, until dinner time, Mu Lan will come and wake you up for dinner."
With that, she covered Father An with a thin blanket, then turned and walked out.
An Mu Lan returned to her room, which was still clean and tidy as she still had servants to tidy it up.
She opened her personal terminal and checked the time, noticing that it was only six in the afternoon, while at this time on weekdays, when she was still staying in Ling Xihan's physical exercise room, she was practicing the use of gun machinery, and Ling Xihan would teach her herself when she had free time. She had seen the indifference between relatives at this moment, and now missed Ling Xihan a million times over.
An Mu Lan thought of this, then clicked on the address book, found the top column, pressed the button to dial, and after only three seconds of waiting, the other side was connected, and the figure of Ling Xihan appeared on the other side of the screen, and it could be seen that she was signing documents at this time.
An Mu Lan clicked on the "life-size" screen next to the screen and chatted face-to-face with Ling Xihan.
With a look of regret on her face, she said,
"I'm going to stay at the An family tonight, poor big CEO Ling Xihan has to stay alone, hey, how can you spend such a lonely and unbearable night?"
After hearing this, Ling Xihan raised an eyebrow indifferently and continued with the task at hand, her hands swept over one document after another and then said slowly and methodically,
"Is there anything else? If there's nothing else, I have to work."
An Mu Lan stopped her and said,
"Don't, I just want to talk to you, I won't disturb you,"
She smiled, then lay back**, her arms propped up on her chin, the softness of her body in front of her, forming a seductive curve as she smiled wickedly and said,
"How are you going to sleep tonight without me to hold you?"
The signature under Ling Xihan's hand paused, she finally lifted her head, tossed the electronic pen onto the table casually, and then moved lazily to unbutton her collar, revealing her delicate collarbone. She said,
"Then how about I meet you in your bedroom tonight?"
She smiled wickedly, her narrow eyes narrowed, looking extraordinarily seductive and alluring.
An Mu Lan couldn't help but swallow, she blushed and looked down, then pretended to be oblivious and said,
"You said it yourself, don't go back on your word, I'm opening the window right now. If you don't come, humph!"
Ling Xihan shook her head in amusement and said,
"I'll be visiting the An family this afternoon after work, how can I miss it when there's a good show on?"
She picked up her pen to work again, and in an instant regained her cold demeanour and asked blandly,
"Is there anything else?"
An Mu Lan smiled happily, with two distinct dimples at the corners of her mouth, and made a kissing face at the screen before saying,
"I'm looking forward to it."
And turned off the video.
After the room had quieted down, An Mu Lan began to think about tomorrow, after letting the four brothers of the An family go for so long, it was time to kill them all. As for Ye Zixuan, she was now nothing more than a pale woman, and it would be easy to deal with her.
A more difficult one to deal with is Zhang Yao. This woman was already vicious and ruthless, and now that she is in charge of the Zhang family, she is afraid that she will be even more difficult to deal with. In the past few years, although the Zhang family had endured many blows, it was still the number one triad force in the future world and its strength should not be underestimated.
An Mu Lan lay on her **thinking for a long time, but still had no clue, her thoughts turned to the wedding in a month's time, her cheeks couldn't help but blush, she remembered once when she and Ling Xihan were **touching each other, Ling Xihan whispered in her ear, she said to take things further on the wedding night.
Although Ling Xihan grew up in the future world, some of her ideas about love are still very primitive and retro. She respects** and doesn't mess around with relationships, and after spending all these years together, An Mu Lan has learned something about Ling Xihan.
Ling Xihan grew up in the slums; she had no father, only a mother who was in the brothel business.
It is said that her mother, also a member of the slums, was beautiful in her youth and had many suitors, but was once deceived by a handsome young man and they married and had a child, but it was not long before the man disappeared completely and her mother then realized that she had been deceived.
After this incident, her mother, who was already neurotic, became even more hysterical and incoherent, she regularly beat Ling Xihan and denied her food.
Growing up in such an environment, Ling Xihan has seen so much of the dark side of s**t that she has become vindictive and ruthless, but even so, she is still a person of principle who wants a home of her own and an intimate and pure lover.
An Mu Lan knew that they were getting along well now, but it wasn't enough, she needed to do something to make Ling Xihan give her heart, otherwise she would die if the mission failed.
An Mu Lan thought silently, but did not have the slightest clue.
When it was time for dinner, she sat on the sofa and said to Father An,
"Father, Xihan is coming over tonight, she says she hasn't seen you for a long time and wants to come and visit you this time."
Father An nodded, indicating that he knew, and then twirled the cane in his hand without saying a word.
A short while later, the doorbell rang and she smiled as she stood up and walked to the door to open it, to see that the visitor was indeed Ling Xihan, who nodded at her and walked in.
At that moment, Ling Xihan had a gentle smile on her face as she handed the butler the gift she had brought and then politely said,
"Greetings, Father, it has been a long time. Hello to the four brothers."
The four men of the An family nodded their heads in response, their eyes still on Ye Zixuan.
Father An's face sank at this, but he still smiled lovingly and said,
"Yes, it has indeed been a long time, how has Xihan been doing lately? Did Mu Lan give you any trouble?"
Ling Xihan smiled at his words and looked at An Mulan, who was standing to one side with a good little daughter-in-law look on her face, and said,
"Mu Lan is well, and her father has been very successful in educating her."
During this time, An Mu Lan was busy serving dishes to Ling Xihan and Father An, while Zhang Yao, who was also a guest, was looking at Ling Xihan's face, her eyes greedy and deep.
After eating, Father An led Ling Xihan to the study to talk while Zhang Yao looked at An Mu Lan with a look that was about to eat her, and then made mouth movements and said,
"I want you dead."
An Mu Lan raised an eyebrow and smiled, a sudden flash of light came to her mind and she shrugged without moving her shoulders and went to the kitchen to make dessert.
She made a lot of cakes and took them out to give one to each of her brothers, and took two more trays to Father An's study. She stood outside the door and waited for a short while before Ling Xihan came out.
An Mu Lan handed one of the plates to the housekeeper and asked him to give it to Father An, while the other plate was in her own hands, talking to Ling Xihan while walking towards her room.
Sitting on the couch where she had initially sat when she came to An Mu Lan's room, Ling Xihan tasted the slightly bitter dessert and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction that it was her preferred taste.
An Mu Lan laid on her back**, supporting her chin and looking at her with a smile, deep love and laughter in her eyes, while she recounted the events of the day completely.
Ling Xihan nodded occasionally to show that she was listening, and after she had finished her dessert, she drank some tea to moisten her lips and said,
"It's a great opportunity, I'll arrange it, just wait and see what tomorrow brings."
An Mu Lan looked at her suspiciously, she knew Ling Xihan's usual style, if she didn't want to talk about it, even if she was pampered, she didn't think she would tell her.
In short, once Ling Xihan strikes, she will definitely achieve the best result, just like the Li family banquet three years ago.
An Mu Lan nodded in understanding and said,
"Our Xihan is the smartest, I'm waiting for a good show."
The two continued to talk for a while, reading the news of the day and communicating. When night fell, the two washed and bathed, kissed and touched before going to sleep.
