Chapter 68: Her Heavenly Dishes were so Awesome

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The teacher tapped the podium with a ruler and boomed, “Calm down everyone, what’s with all the fuss? The fact that you didn’t lose money is a good thing. Please continue with your homework. No one is allowed to leave without completing their assignments.”

Ye Qingran raised her hand, “Teacher, I would like to switch seats.”

The teacher hesitated for a moment before changing Ye Qingran’s seat with another student sitting far away.

Mu Qingxue recalled what she had heard in the office and observed the teacher who switched the seats of the two students.

While looking around, she realized her classmates were watching her with disgust and disdain.

It was as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Most of her classmates had a good relationship with her, and the math teacher treated her well.

Is there a possibility that they might start distancing themselves away from her after today?

The incident left her confused and flustered.

She bit her pale lips tightly.

A decision was made in her heart.

With cold and determined eyes, she shot up and handed the materials fee to her teacher.

“I’m sorry, I forgot where the money was kept, which led me to accuse my innocent classmate. I apologize, and I will keep my promise. Teacher, please allow me to excuse myself for a moment; I’ll be back soon.”

She rushed out of the classroom after seeking permission from the teacher.

Half an hour later, the girl returned with short hair.

It was probably a wig she was wearing.

Taking off her wig, she apologized to Ye Qingran with a bald head, “Please accept my sincere apology, Ye Qingran.”

Ye Qingran glanced at the girl in front of her.

Mu Qingxue did not have an outstanding appearance.

She had relied on her long black hair for the temperament, which was portrayed on her initially.

Her new bald had resulted in her looking rather ordinary with her bonus feature gone as there was nothing special about her.

Ye Qingran cunningly teased, “Looking forward to your transformation!”

The students laughed!

Mu Qingxue was extremely triggered that she almost vomited blood!

That d*mned woman! No wonder Ye Qingran wanted her to shave her head.

Gritting her teeth, she put on her wig again. She lifted her chin slightly as she prepared to return to her seat with her usual arrogant look.

However, an unexpected gust of strong wind blew in from the window and blew off the wig on her head.

The scene was hilarious.

A moment of silence followed before everyone burst into laughter.

One of the students had uploaded a picture of the scene to the school’s website. The photo was then turned into an emoji package.

Since then, Mu Qingxue had not gone to school.

Long Junyao did not return during this period either. Thus, Mu Qingxue cried in Long Junyao’s villa for a few days without anyone comforting her.

As a result, her dissatisfaction with Long Junyao increased to the extend that he would never return.

She heard her phone rang and a message from Dongfang Yu appeared on the screen.

He asked her out for dinner.

Mu Qingxue had longed to accept the invitation, but she remembered that Long Junyao seemed to have mentioned that he would return today.

She was about to reject the message when her phone rang again.

This time, it was a message from Long Junyao saying that he might not make it to return as planned as he needs to attend to an emergency at a foreign company.

A wide grin appeared on the woman’s face immediately.

She had agreed to the dinner invitation.

Dongfang Yu arranged to meet at a high-end western restaurant.

Putting on her wig, Mu Qingxue dressed up specifically for the occasion.

But when Mu Qingxue arrived, her date was nowhere to be seen.

She waited at the restaurant for a long time before receiving his call.

It turns out that he was unexpectedly stopped by Madam Dongfang when he was about to leave. The woman made him attend a banquet.

Thus, it was impossible for him to leave at this time.

Mu Qingxue’s red eyes filled with grievance.

How could Dongfang Yu treat her in this manner? Was he as in loved with her as he had mentioned?

Then why does he prioritize his mother instead of her?

If he truly loved her, he would not tolerate her suffering.

But now, he had chosen to let her wait for him and let her down over and over again.

Mu Qingxue was dispirited and had decided to leave when a man approached her.

“Hello, gorgeous.”

“Hello,” the woman was slightly stunned as she looked upon the man who greeted her.

There was something strange about the way he looked at her. She was about to walk past him and leave the restaurant when the man spoke, “I’m Yang Guang, the manager of Xing Entertainment. I wonder if you are interested in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry?”

“Entertainment industry?”

The man nodded, “Yes, our company has been working on a film lately. But we had not found a suitable candidate qualified for the female lead position. When I saw you, I felt that your appearance resemble the female lead we are looking for.”

Mu Qingxue remained vigilant.

“Don’t worry, I’m not a liar,” Yang Guang laughed, “this is my business card. Our company’s name and address can be found on it. You can easily find out that we are a very formal entertainment company. Please consider this offer carefully after you did your checks.”

She took the business card and left immediately.

Upon investigating after arriving home, she realized that the man had told her the truth.

Furthermore, he was renowned in the industry as a competent top manager. The various resources he had on hand were excellent and helpful.

Initially, Mu Qingxue did not have any intention of entering the entertainment industry.

However, after encountering how Dongfang Yu had treated her today, she realized that men were unreliable.

It was still up to a woman to rely on herself.

If she entered the entertainment industry, she would achieve any goal she sought using her fame and money.

Revenge would no longer be an issue!

Due to her current relationship with Long Junyao, she would need to seek permission from him to enter the entertainment industry.

After some consideration, she decided to give him a call.

Long Junyao was busy at that moment.

He silent the ringing phone and laid it on the table.

Looking at the man in front of him, he questioned, “Yian, who was the manipulator you said behind all these?”

The questioned man was Su Yian, one among the five male leads and Long Junyao’s best friend.

Su Yian replied, “Yan Fan.”

“I’d never heard of this person from the Yan family. Is his last name similar to the Chinese character of the word “mortal” or “the smooth sailing”?”

“Neither. It’s from the word “troublesome”.”

Long Junyao was a little speechless, “Troublesome (Ma Fan in mandarin)…. Yan Fan or annoying (the Chinese characters of the word is homophonic of the name)? This name…”

“His name wasn’t given by the Yan family but was chosen by himself. Showing his annoyance towards the Yan family.”

Long Junyao kept silent while Su Yian handed him one of the wines he poured, “There’s nothing odd about the fact that you don’t know this person. It’s only been two years since you joined us, and he hasn’t made any move since then.”

He picked up the wine in front of him and took a sip, “Then why hasn’t anyone mentioned him?”

“No one dares to mention him.”

“Why?”

Su Yian finished the wine in the glass with one gulp.

With a complicated gaze, he looked ahead and uttered lightly, “Yan Fan has a unique identity. The public only became aware of him when he was 15 years old. It was then when he started helping the Yan family in controlling the capital. In the past ten years, he could dismantle any business he wanted. The scheming, strategy, forbearance, and cunning he demonstrates are not just terrifying; they are truly dangerous!”

“Some people described him as a lion that lurks in the night. There is no way of knowing who is his next target or who he is preying on. One day, he will appear out of nowhere and devour you. That’s why many people are afraid of being targeted by him. Some people even shudder at the mention of his name. They are afraid that they will accidentally provoke him. Eventually, he was no longer mentioned.”

The situation was very depressing for Long Junyao, “Why was he suddenly interested in my Dragon Palace?”

It puzzled Su Yian as well, “The question also intrigues me. In comparison to his previous targets, the Dragon Palace is pitifully small. What is his motivation for buying the Dragon Palace? Perhaps, it’s time for me to visit River City.”
