His Beloved Treasure

An actor from the private dining room Jing Qing and others were in walked out, glanced down at the two women eating downstairs, and then headed toward the staircase.

”Miss Qin!”

”Helun!”

Just as Qin Mu was about to look up, she heard Xiaomei call out first and immediately became curious, turning to Xiaomei.

”Shh!” Helun raised his hand, of course with a touch of trying to look cool.

Xiaomei responded with her own cooperative gesture, shrinking her neck and making an OK sign with her hand.

Qin Mu...

”May I sit here?”

Helun asked, but before Qin Mu and Xiaomei could respond, he had already pulled out a chair and sat down, then he turned to Qin Mu: I have seen the advertisement you shot, and I think it was very good.

Qin Mu looked at him more intently, smiled slightly: Thank you!

Compared to Qin Mu’s passive composure, Helun seemed more calculating, gazing at her for quite a while before speaking again: I would like to invite you to play the lead role in my new movie, a classic romance novel I’m directing myself. I didn’t expect to run into you today, otherwise, I would have brought the script for you.

Xiaomei at the side held her breath, not daring to speak much, but inside she was extremely excited.

”Sorry, I’m afraid I’m not that lucky.”

Qin Mu responded tactfully.

”Rejecting so straightforwardly? We can discuss the price or anything else. I primarily chose you for your look, which suits the female protagonist very well.”

”Sorry, I still can’t accept. If Mr. Helun doesn’t have a suitable actress, I could recommend someone.”

How could Qin Mu agree?

Mu Yichen hates it when she acts.

For him, she wouldn’t agree...

And for some reason, lately whenever directors and the like approached her, the first thing she thought of was Mu Yichen, thinking that he disliked it, she would not go through with it, and only then did she think about her own work.

”Oh? Who might that be?”

”Wen Runuan!”

Helun’s gaze at her suddenly paused, then he lightly smiled again, his fingers resting on the dining table pinching each other and then suddenly tapping lightly on the table.

”Are you close with Miss Wen Runuan?”

”Not really, I’ve only met her once or twice, but I think she’s a decent actress.”

”That’s true, but she’s currently in a special relationship with Jingshang’s CEO, and since I’m not from Jingshang——, you know.”

Qin Mu didn’t understand; she didn’t understand the many intricacies of their circle, but if they truly wanted someone, there should always be a way to cooperate.

”I didn’t expect Miss Qin to brush me off so easily.” Helun’s smile seemed a bit strained, though his words were not harsh.

”My specialty is fashion design, Mr. Helun, so if you ever need help designing evening gowns, I’d be delighted to offer my services.”

”Oh? That can be arranged right now.”

Helun wasn’t expecting this pleasant surprise, and Qin Mu didn’t make a fuss either, nodding in agreement immediately. Xiaomei, who had been upset about Qin Mu refusing Helun’s movie offer, instantly bloomed with happiness again.

The next morning, Wen Runuan got up and called Qin Mu from the dressing room: Did you tell Helun to look for me for a movie?

”I mentioned it, he really approached you?”

”Yeah! I’ve read the script, and considering Helun’s reputation in the industry, I’m actually quite interested in working with him.”

”Isn’t that a happy development?”

”Just afraid that Chairman Zhang might not be pleased.”

Qin Mu couldn’t help but chuckle; it was for a man after all.

”Speaking of which, did you know Helun from before?”

Wen Runuan asked curiously, glancing at the man changing clothes in the room.

”No, I had just heard of him, and happened to run into him yesterday at dinner.”

”I see, I won’t keep you then, he’s up now, I’m going to join him for breakfast.”

Wen Runuan quickly hung up the phone, but Qin Mu suddenly realized who the ”he” in Wen Runuan’s words was and couldn’t help but laugh as she looked at the man beside her.

”Wen Runuan?”

”Yep!”

Mu Yichen didn’t want her getting too close to the people in the entertainment industry’s big dye vat, but considering her job he couldn’t help it, though he felt an involuntary increase in worry.

”I heard from the restaurant manager that Helun came to see you yesterday while you were dining. Don’t you want to explain that to me?”

”Helun? Haha, I’m not telling you!”

Qin Mu smiled mischievously and then attempted to run off.

Say that again?

”Wen Runuan just called me about the Helun matter.”

Later, Mu Yichen said, ”If Helun comes looking for you again, don’t forget to tell me.”

”And what if it’s someone else?”

”Figure it out yourself!”

Figure it out myself?

Qin Mu thought to herself, if I really do that you’ll get angry again.

After finishing their meal and just as they stepped out of the restaurant, Jing Qing came over to visit. The aunt walked from outside into the living room, ”Madam, Miss Jing is here! And Miss Qin too.”

The aunt spoke softly when she said this, but she gave Feng Fanghua a knowing look, prompting Feng Fanghua to sigh helplessly: If they’re here, they’re here!

Since she couldn’t exactly shove them out, she might as well put on a show.

”Auntie!”

”Auntie!”

The two of them, arm in arm like sisters, walked in. Feng Fanghua sat on the sofa and elegantly raised her hand to gesture for them to sit.

”What brings you two together today?”

”I haven’t been feeling well recently, and Grandpa asked me to rest at home. When I have nothing to do, I tend to spend all my time with this girl.” Jing Qing said with a smile.

”I just love hanging out with Sister Qing.”

Qin Mingzhu laughed even more cheerfully, her expressions lively as she spoke.

”Yeah, you’ve always loved clinging to your Sister Qing since you were little, that’s true.”

Feng Fanghua might not dare to say much, but she had watched them grow up with her own eyes and knew a lot about them.

”Auntie, I like clinging to you too, I’m just afraid of annoying you.”

Qin Mingzhu added.

”How could you? You’re not much younger than Qingxin, and you went to the same school when you were little. Why would I find you annoying?”

Feng Fanghua responded politely.

”Auntie, if that’s the case, I’ll have to come over more often.”

Qin Mingzhu continued, always playing the innocent in front of her elders.

”Sure!”

Feng Fanghua agreed.

”Now auntie needs to take care of Huanhuan, she doesn’t have the time to entertain you too much, so don’t you dare come over to cause trouble.”

Jing Qing warned Qin Mingzhu like an older sister would.

”Huanhuan? Oh right, auntie, I’ve been meaning to ask, are you really sure that little girl is your biological granddaughter? Don’t forget, Qin Mu has been abroad all these years, and her lifestyle has been quite improper.”

Qin Mingzhu commented from the side, while Jing Qing sat quietly next to her listening. Despite hearing that Feng Fanghua had already gone for a DNA test at the hospital, Jing Qing couldn’t help but lift her chin upon hearing Qin Mingzhu’s words.

”Oh?”

Feng Fanghua looked up.

”All those years she would only call my dad to ask him for money. Just think about it, what reasons does a young girl have to constantly ask her not-so-rich father for money? Apart from being frivolous, what else could it be? I heard she had unclear relationships with many boys in their university, and Yichen had already returned to the country back then; he must have been deceived.”
