MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 8 - Season 12 Episode 99

“Gu Jingyu, I can’t believe you came back. I thought you wouldn’t return after running away,” Mu Feiran smiled and said.

Gu Jingyu looked at Mu Feiran. “Why? You can come back but I can’t?”

“Ha. I came back because I have to make a living. As for you, you have both wealth and money. You don’t have to act if you don’t want to.”

“Hehe. Forget it. I’m the pauper right now. I have to live in someone else’s house in order to at least fill my stomach.”

Others could not join the conversation between the two of them when they started teasing each other. They smiled and watched both of them, the heavenly king and queen of old finally standing together today.

They had previously led an era.

But now, the rookie actress Lin Che, who had looked up to them back then, was already starting to lead another era.

While everyone was still sighing in awe, Mu Feiran and the others had already finished exchanging greetings.

Mu Feiran said to Lin Che, “With Gu Jingyu’s participation, this television series of yours will definitely blow up in popularity.”

Lin Che said, “There are other things to consider. It’s fine as long as they don’t criticize us for letting down Gu Jingyu and putting their Gu Jingyu to waste.”

Lin Che too had some similar concerns.

Just then, Mu Feiran called.

She quickly picked up the call. “It’s from my family.”

“Ah. Recently, your family has been contacting you quite frequently,” Lin Che said.

When the subject came up, Mu Feiran did not wish to say anything further. She smiled faintly before leaving.

—

In Mu Feiran’s home.

Her mother and younger brother had arrived together. From outside, they looked inside the courtyard. Seeing as no one seemed to be around, the two of them simply jumped over the fence and into the premises.

“I don’t think Older Sister is around.”

“Do you see a random man inside?”

“I don’t see that.”

“Are there any men’s clothing?”

“Hey, look, Mother. Is that a man’s clothing hanging at the side?”

“The black jacket? It must be.”

“Oh no, it looks like Older Sister really has a man.”

“I can’t believe this little wench. I told her a long time ago to be more careful. She must have fallen into someone’s trap.”

While speaking, they saw someone walk in from outside.

He did indeed look like a hooligan. His skin was fair and soft and he wasn’t that old either.

The person who had come in was actually Black Hawk’s subordinate.

He walked over to them with well-practiced ease. He went in to pick up his clothes before opening the door to leave. He did not at all notice if anyone was here.

Mu Feiran’s mother immediately cried out in alarm, “Good lord, is it that person earlier? This Feiran, this Feiran… is way too unbecoming.”

Thereafter, Mu Feiran’s mother hastily gave her a call.

She told Mu Feiran to make a quick trip home when she was available.

Mu Feiran returned home and saw that her mother and younger brother were both here. However, at the same time, there was also a young man on the side.

The man’s eyes instantly lit up when he saw Mu Feiran.

Mu Feiran’s mother said, “Feiran, you’re here just in time. We have a guest here. Let’s eat at home in a bit. I’ll get someone to prepare some food.”

They also had a housekeeper to help cook and clean at home. Usually, Mu Feiran’s mother only liked going out to play mahjong and did not like doing household chores.

Mu Feiran froze where she was. She thought of the Benz Mercedes she had seen outside earlier.

So it was his car.

“Hey, Mother. Say it clearly. What are we doing right now?”

Mu Feiran’s mother asked, “Now… didn’t I say it already? We have a guest here. Keep him company first…”

The man looked at Mu Feiran. The only thought in his mind was that she looked so much better in real life than on television.

Although she was already very beautiful on television, she did not even look one-tenth as beautiful as she did in person.

Sure enough, she looked even more ethereal in person.

“Mother, why should I keep him company? I don’t even know him.” Mu Feiran nudged her mother.

Mu Feiran said, “Oh, this is Mr Chen. Mr Chen Hao.”

Mu Feiran’s mother pulled Mu Feiran towards her and said in a low voice, “His family runs a company. He’s very wealthy. He’s known as one of the four princes of the capital city. Everyone knows who he is.”

What four princes of the capital city?

Mu Feiran said, “I’m not asking who he is. I’m…”

“Alright, alright. You guys have a chat first. I’ll go and prepare the dishes.”

Mu Feiran’s mother did not continue talking nonsense with her. She brushed her off directly and went into the kitchen first.

Chen Hao looked at Mu Feiran.

“Good gracious, Miss Feiran. You look even more beautiful than you do on television.”

Mu Feiran looked at him and smiled dryly. “My apologies. I’m still a bit busy. I’ll just…”

“Hey, Miss Feiran. I’m a fan of your works.”

Mu Feiran really disliked such a preamble.

“Oh, really? Thank you for your support.”

“Hey, Miss Feiran. Since you’re here, why don’t we sit down for a chat?”

“But I’m really very busy.”

“Don’t be like this. Miss Feiran, I’m sure you understand your mother’s intentions. But old people are all like that. Let’s just do this as a show of respect to them. I was dragged here by my father too. But wouldn’t it be quite bad if we just went back straight too? They would be angry. It’s better for us to just sit down and talk. Anyway, we’re doing it over a meal. It won’t be much trouble. The result will be the same if we’re not interested and don’t contact each other afterward.”

Hearing him speak so politely, it was not appropriate for Mu Feiran to reach out and slap a smiling face. Thus, she followed suit and sat down.

He stared at Mu Feiran, finding it hard to believe that the beauty he used to watch so closely on television was right in front of him now.

He had heard that these celebrities and entertainers were no different from prostitutes. It was only after getting famous that they wanted to leave the trade and simply find a wealthy person to marry and live a good life with.

Of course, he did not want a wife like that. But after hearing that it was her, he nevertheless wanted to meet her.

Anyway, hooking up with her did not mean that they were actually going to marry.

“I heard that you even have a child.”

“Hn. Yes,” Mu Feiran leaned backward and answered noncommittally. She could not be bothered to reply.

He said, “To be honest, I quite like children. Next time, you can bring your kid with you.”

“There’s no need…”

“By the way, my family’s restaurant is opening soon. You can pop by and look around. Here.” He took out a name card and gave it to her with both hands.

Mu Feiran took it from him and saw that it was a restaurant. It seemed to be a seafood restaurant.

“I see. I’ll come by when I’m free.”

“You can come for the opening. We’ve invited numerous top names in the business.”

“No thank you. I…” Mu Feiran got up to leave.

Mu Feiran’s mother rushed out to stop her.

“Feiran, don’t be like this. You…”

“Enough, Mother. I told you that I already have a boyfriend. Can you stop doing this?”

Chen Hao stood up immediately as well. “You’re in a relationship?”

Mu Feiran’s mother turned red and purple. Slightly embarrassed, she said, “No, she’s been scammed. That’s why I’m trying to pull her back to the right path. It’s true that there’s this man. But he’s a conman. He’s trying to cheat her of her money.”

“What conman? Have you ever met him? How can you call him a conman?”

“Of course. How could I not have seen him?!
