Chapter 25: Chapter 24: Someone from a Dream

After Mu Ran posted on Weibo.

She dismissed the bodyguards.

She drove a sports car to the airport.

Speeding in Hai City is wishful thinking, especially during rush hour. Mu Ran really felt like she was going to get drunk.

Then…

Mu Ran found someone who didn’t get along with Wu Jiaquan and got a lot of ugly photos of him.

Then she posted one every minute.

Even with the faces blurred, Wu Jiaquan was so embarrassed he was digging his toes into the ground, so he called her, “Are you crazy!”

“Am I? I’m perfectly fine,” Mu Ran smiled, “If you were standing in front of me, I might just beat you into a mental hospital.”

When he heard that.

Wu Jiaquan got goosebumps all over, deeply disgusted by her: “I agree to take those down.”

“That was the condition just now, but are you only taking those down now?”

“What do you want?!”

“Of course, you must praise my Xiao Jin. He’s so good, so cute, someone like you has to be blind not to see it. Of course, I feel you don’t even need to notice. If someone like you noticed him, it would feel utterly disgusting,” Mu Ran sneered, “People like you are ugly, stupid to death, and disgustingly vile.”

“Mu Ran!!!”

“No need to shout so loudly, unlike you, I’m not deaf. Remember what I said, just do that,” Mu Ran hung up the phone and also deleted the photos one by one.

Just when the netizens were puzzled.

Someone who had seen the young prince’s scandal came over and laughed heartily.

[Not to brag, but I saw with my own eyes a marketing account posting nasty dirt on the young prince one moment, and the next moment it was reposting compliments with a photo of the young prince. I’m dying of laughter!!]

[Wow, what kind of person is Mu Ran? I feel she’s really kind of awesome.]

[I think maybe she’s not that tough. It’s just that Director Mu is a bit crazy. Normally, we wouldn’t think of offending someone with power, let alone attach foolish captions and post so many ugly photos, but Director Mu seems fearless. Do you really think she has a strong background? But she’s been criticized online for so long, and during filming, she’s the hardest-working in the entire crew. I guess Director Mu’s personality is straightforward and single-minded, or you could say, she has a childlike heart, willing to sacrifice everything for what she loves. Personality-wise, if you’re good to me, I’ll be good to you. If you respect me, I’ll respect you, and that’s it.]

…

This long review received a lot of likes.

Everyone re-evaluated Director Mu, finding at least in terms of ability, she truly stands out.

Actually, there’s one widely known fact.

——Mu Ran’s face.

Extremely outstanding!!!

However, many people tend to overlook her face because of her ability, which some find quite startling.

She is a woman, a stunningly beautiful woman, but her abilities draw more attention than her looks.

This incident concerning the young prince eventually turned into a tool to gain more followers for him, even leading Mu Ran to help the young prince set up a Weibo account.

Mu Ran didn’t want to do it.

But since all the other kids in the show did it, it was best for Xiao Jin to establish a Weibo account.

She was the first follower.

And the only person on her follow list.

As for Chu Xijin, he wasn’t very clear about his aunt’s online reputation, but once he joined Weibo, he was completely surrounded by negativity and used voice input to argue back at them.

Mu Ran saw this and forbade him from using Weibo: “There’s no need to waste time on those who dislike you. You have more important things to do. Even if there aren’t important things, you can have fun or daydream. Don’t be upset because of wasteful people, understand?”

“But they’re saying such terrible things!” Chu Xijin’s eyes were a bit red. His aunt wasn’t at all like that, but they portrayed her as if she were a ruthless villain.

“They’re making money, and we’re wasting time. It’s tremendously unfair. And some aren’t even that against me, but because hating me brings popularity, it grabs more attention to their account.” Mu Ran had long seen through the nature of the internet.

Jumping on the bandwagon, blackening for the sake of blackening.

There’s a ton of people like that.

Mu Ran genuinely didn’t care, never feeling sad about it, and she hoped Xiao Jin wouldn’t be upset because of it either: “You know what? They’re saying horrible things about me online, but it doesn’t stop me from going to pick up an award tonight.”

“Huh?” Chu Xijin looked up.

Still a bit dazed.

Mu Ran raised an eyebrow, very smug: “Who is your aunt? Director Mu, sweeping across major film festivals, isn’t that a normal thing? I’m expected to win an award tonight, for a previous movie. My current film hasn’t gone through judging yet.”

“Aunt is so amazing!”

Chu Xijin marveled.

“Of course,” Mu Ran confidently acknowledged her own abilities.

Chu Xijin looked at his confident and dazzling aunt, no longer wanting to pay attention to the online matters.

Before leaving the house, he obediently expressed: “I’ll eat well and sleep well at home.”

“Yes, call Aunt Zhang if you need anything.” Mu Ran waved at him as she left.

As expected.

She won the award.

The audience friends watched her calm and unsurprised expression, feeling quite speechless.

[At least pretend!]

[I’ve gotten used to it myself. As long as Director Mu is present, she’s bound to win.]

[Don’t say, Director Mu is really dazzling on such occasions, and almost everyone on site stood up. Director Mu seems really impressive.]

…

As filmmakers, there’s a certain level of respect for those who make films. Mu Ran is really strong.

Strength knows no gender.

Only ability counts.

Mu Ran is someone many admire and look up to.

After winning the award, Mu Ran didn’t attend the celebration party but changed her destination to the bar Yang Yingying had booked.

This little rascal.

Had a fight with her boyfriend.

Now crying her heart out!

Mu Ran drank, feeling exasperated,

“Amazing, your uncle still manages to upset you, doesn’t he treat you like a princess?”

“Yes, but I feel he’s spoiled me to the point of losing myself. I wish he would love himself a bit more,” Yang Yingying cried, gulping down a glass of wine.

Mu Ran twitched her mouth.

Just listening to her talk about how good her boyfriend is, Mu Ran zoned out, drinking glass after glass, hoping to be drunk soon, to escape the scene.

But the more she drank,

The more she needed to use the restroom…

After coming out of the restroom, Mu Ran suddenly saw a man who looked a lot like the person she dreamed about!!!

The man’s forehead was covered in sweat, beads slowly trickling down his prominent nose, sliding past his sensually lined, kissable lips, then dripping from his sharply defined chin into his neatly buttoned shirt.

He was the picture of restraint, yet exuded an air of sensuality.

Mu Ran’s heart warmed, her instincts overtaking her reason.
