The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

183 THE ENEMIES ON A NARROW ROAD

Lin Che looked at Mu Wanqing, "Mom, I'm telling the truth. When I first met you, I never thought you would be Gu Jingze's mother. You clearly look like a young madam in her thirties."

"Ah, how good it would be if I was really that young."

"You're still young and there's not a single wrinkle on your face. If I get older and look half as young as you, that would already be good enough."

"That will definitely happen. Little Che, you're so pretty," Mu Wanqing said.

Lin Che said, "I don't want to think about anything else. I don't think growing old and getting a few wrinkles matters that much. I just hope that I will still be beautiful with a mountain of wrinkles, right? Of course, it would be best if I could be like you with no wrinkles at all."

Mu Wanqing laughed and said, "Good thinking. Wrinkles come sooner or later; you don't have to fear it."

Although Mu Wanqing said that, she was actually very proud of her face. No woman didn't like to be beautiful, after all. "I believe that the most important thing is to have the right attitude. If it weren't for these troublesome boys who are always making me worry, I could probably look even younger. However, to still look this young with them around, that's still pretty good, right?"

"Exactly. They are too much. Hmph."

The two of them chatted as they walked and casually browsed through the things that they could buy.

Mu Wanqing felt that this was rather fun. It was much healthier than staying at home.

Just as they were walking, some chatter came from nearby.

Lin Li was with some friends shopping too.

This shopping mall probably had the most brands in all of B district. They were also here to buy things.

They bought top branded items so they felt extremely proud as they walked about. As they shopped, they kept praising Lin Li and said, "You are really too tyrannical. You're buying things without even looking at the price tags. Coming out with you shouldn't even be considered shopping. This is purely sweeping out stores."

Lin Li laughed satisfyingly and said, "Shopping is meant to be relaxing. What's the point of calculating so much?"

"You'd have to be the future mistress of the Qin family in order to afford that kind of relaxation."

As they were talking, Lin Li suddenly halted in her steps. She thought she was seeing wrong but there was no mistake.

The woman walking towards her with another older woman was undoubtedly Lin Che.

She had never expected that today would be the day when two enemies meet on a narrow road and she would see Lin Che.

The friends following her also saw Lin Che.

Of course, they knew Lin Che. Since they were young, they knew that Lin Li had this illegitimate sister and they bullied her plenty of times.

But now, she was actually famous and one of the hottest newcomers on the Internet.

On the other hand, Lin Li entered the entertainment industry earlier and was not even as famous as her now.

"Ah, isn't that Lin Che?" someone exclaimed in surprise while looking at Lin Che with a scornful expression.

None of them knew about Lin Che's relationship with the Gu family. After all, Lin Li would never tell anyone else or they would have admired Lin Che instead of her. She felt like she was slowly losing to Lin Che.

So everyone who saw Lin Che mocked at her, "Since when could she afford to shop at all these branded places?"

At the same time, Lin Che saw Lin Li with three other beautifully dressed girls.

"Lin Che," just then, one of them had already smiled as she called out her name.

Beside her, Mu Wanqing asked curiously, "Who is that?"

Lin Che could only say, "Some people I knew when I was young."

"Oh," Mu Wanqing replied.

The group walked over with anticipation. One of them asked Lin Che, "Ah, how come we got to meet you here?"

Another one said with a sinister tone, "What's wrong? You're treating her like the Lin Che from last time. She's now a celebrity."

"Ha! So what if she's a celebrity? Will that bit of dough allow you to buy the things here? Lin Che, I know celebrities like to be photographed outside in a good place. You enjoy letting others see that

you're living well, but don't make your face fat with that hard-earned money of yours."

They have always looked down on Lin Che since she was young. Needless to say, she saw Lin Li slowly walking over from behind.

Lin Li enjoyed watching them tease Lin Che and it was the same this time. She pretended not to know and smiled at Lin Che, "Lin Che, why haven't you been home lately?" Then, she looked at the woman beside Lin Che.

Mu Wanqing looked average. It was not possible to tell her age and her clothes were not branded. She was just like a regular mother. She was wearing a long, purple dress and kitten heels. There was nothing outstanding about her outfit.

Mu Wanqing was usually a hermit. She never appeared in front of the media, so Lin Li had no idea who she was either. She only looked at Lin Che, so Lin Li thought that she was just an employee that Lin Che brought along or some kind of nanny.

Thus, she only took a glance and turned back to Lin Che.

Lin Che said, "There's no problem at home anymore. Oh right, is Lin Yu okay? Since she went back, she didn't seem happy." Lin Che mentioned Lin Yu on purpose to remind Lin Li that she should always be cautious and leave adequate leeway when provoking someone.

Everything was fine until Lin Yu was mentioned. Lin Li became angrier.

This Lin Che was really getting more and more proud.

"Don't you know that she's still not okay? But I'm always seeing news about you on TV and that's not good. You may want to lose your face for fame, but you are still a Lin. What will people think about our Lin family?"NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Lin Che said, "Nobody links me with the Lin family now.

Lin Li scoffed, "There are bound to be people who love digging up these things in the future. There are many ways to become famous. Can't you go a more proper way?"

The people beside heard this and chimed in, "Ah, Lin Li, she's not like you. Some people are rich to support themselves while others are poor. We would know since we mix with the entertainment circle. It's naturally not easy. Thus, some people would really do anything for fame. Eh, Lin Che, I heard people like you sleep around for roles. You don't have money to support yourself either. Have you slept with some old guy or something? To give yourself a little back support?"

Mu Wanqing had never come across such people who was saying all these nasty things. As she stood there listening, she scoffed and laughed dryly, "What nonsense are you guys talking about? Our Little Che is a natural beauty and is also very capable. She doesn't need any crooked way and all the more, she doesn't need money to carry herself. She relies on her own abilities."

"Hey, where did you come from, you old hag?" That girl heard the old woman dare to talk back and huffed, "Lin Che, you're neither a big nor small star anymore. Surely you don't need to hire an assistant like this? Or is this an assistant and nanny all in one?" Send Gifts
