After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 40

Online, Meng Kelin was also surprised by the sudden emergence of the Linglu fan group.

She immediately found Lin Xin, told her about the new couple, and mentioned that the two fan groups were now at odds with each other.

Lin Xin knew about this, of course, but she couldn’t tell Meng Kelin that she had also been following the fan groups. So, she just said, “Oh,” as if she were clueless.

Meng Kelin could only remind her, “You and Lu Tianyu should be careful. Lu Tianyu’s fans are not simple.”

Lin Xin was a little surprised. “Why didn’t you tell me to be careful when it was me and Ye Linghua’s couple?”

Meng Kelin paused and explained, “That’s different. At the time, it was only you and Ye Linghua’s couple. Did I have a choice? Could I have supported you and Zheng Lanwen? Besides, the Morning Stars were developing well, and Ye Linghua wasn’t in the entertainment industry. Wasn’t that the perfect time and place?” Who would have thought there would be a new couple later on? I even have a new choice!

Thinking this, Meng Kelin couldn’t help but look at Lin Xin with suspicion. “I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but could it be that you’re… surprisingly good at being in a couple?”

Lin Xin said, “…Thanks.”

Meng Kelin smiled and thought about Lu Tianyu’s popularity. She couldn’t help but sigh. “Actually, it’s pretty good with Lu Tianyu. You’re both in the entertainment industry, and you both have enough exposure. It’s not like with Ye Linghua. If Ye Linghua had exposure, this couple would have already gone viral.”

Lin Xin couldn’t help but feel a little indignant. “Wouldn’t there be more problems with someone in the industry? There are no such concerns with someone outside the industry, right!”

Meng Kelin: “…”

Lin Xin was stunned. She thought about it and felt that something was wrong. She said, “I don’t want to fake a relationship, so why are you telling me this? I don’t want to listen.”

Meng Kelin: …Great, I made her mad.

She didn’t know if she was angry or if it was because she had mentioned Ye Linghua.

Meng Kelin was too lazy to go into it, but she couldn’t help but needle her. “The popular star Lu might not even be willing to fake a relationship with you!”

Lin Xin: “…” Tsk.

While they were chatting, the director had already prepared a new scene. He waved to Lin Xin. Lin Xin, who was full of anger, ignored Meng Kelin and went on set.

Meng Kelin sighed. With Lin Xin’s qualifications, she didn’t need to fake a relationship, but how long would she be able to stay in the entertainment industry? No one knew! Besides, even as her manager, she was jealous of the profits from faking a relationship!

Even if you didn’t talk about faking a relationship, you could at least talk about her future.

Lin Xin had not been in the industry for years, and the difficulties she encountered were far more than she had imagined. All the money she had managed to save over the years had been spent by that ingrate…

So, wasn’t having more options a good thing?

In the end, wasn’t making money the most important thing?

Meng Kelin helplessly covered her face. What’s wrong with saving some retirement money for myself and her?

“Sister Meng? What’s wrong?” Ye Linghua, who had just returned with water, saw Meng Kelin’s helpless expression and asked.

Meng Kelin looked at her, shook her head, and sighed. “I just feel like she’s not trying hard enough!”

Ye Linghua looked at Lin Xin on the set. She was wearing her professional black outfit and holding a document, acting with the other actors. When the argument got intense, both of their faces were flushed.

Ye Linghua looked away and said, “She’s working very hard.”

Meng Kelin also looked and said, “I know, but it would be better if she worked even harder.”

Ye Linghua said, “Life is short, just a few decades. There’s nothing wrong with living in the moment.”

Meng Kelin scoffed. “You’re so optimistic. Don’t let her spending fool you. Do you think she’s very rich?”

Ye Linghua slowly narrowed her eyes and asked them, “Where’s her money?”

Meng Kelin: “…She was surrounded by ingrates who took it all.”

Ye Linghua: “…” I’ve been completely taken in by Lin Xin’s “weakness.”

Even though Lin Xin and Meng Kelin had been bickering all morning, she had still listened to what Meng Kelin said. From that day on, she maintained a good distance from Lu Tianyu.

Of course, Lin Xin’s efforts quickly paid off.

The Morning Stars saw the behind-the-scenes video that was secretly sent back. They were ecstatic as if they had been certified by the main characters.

[The main characters are trying to avoid each other. Is there anything more convincing than that?]

[Come to think of it, Xinbao and our Little Morning Star have never tried to avoid each other.]

[Exactly. They’ve hugged, and they’ve been in each other’s arms.]

[It’s true. They’re clearly closer to Little Morning Star. Some fans are so shameless.]

The Morning Star fans not only came back to life, but they also edited the video of Lin Xin avoiding Lu Tianyu and played it.

However, the Linglu fans were surprisingly calm.

They weren’t couple fans who would let themselves be defeated. When they saw the new video of them trying to avoid each other, they were not discouraged. In fact, they were overjoyed.

A Passerby: “???”

Solo Fan: “Sigh, they’re crazy.”

The Linglu couple fans interpreted it from a different angle, proving that when couple fans want to find something to get excited about, they can find it from the most unusual angles.

[This video is enough to prove the relationship between Xinbao and the popular star Lu. Oh yeah!]

[If there was nothing going on, would they need to avoid each other? Do you see her avoiding anyone else?]

[Exactly! There must be a secret reason for them to avoid each other.]

[That makes sense. I’m excited again. Thanks, sister.]

Morning Star: [……] What a strange angle.

While the two couple fan groups were celebrating, the solo fans were starting to feel a sense of crisis.

Back to Ye Linghua, after the filming had progressed a lot, Ye Linghua suddenly received a call from her family.

She was about to get up and go outside to take the call, but then she remembered what Meng Kelin had said that day. Is being on bad terms with your family a form of showing weakness?

So, she sat next to Lin Xin with her phone in her hand. She sighed and sighed again. When Lin Xin looked over in confusion, she answered the phone.

The person on the other end, Ye’s mother, didn’t beat around the bush. She said, “Xiaohua, your sister wants to start a business. Can you help her?”

The call wasn’t on speaker, but Ye Linghua’s phone was loud. The words were almost clearly audible to Lin Xin. She couldn’t help but perk up her ears. Her heart skipped a beat.

Could this be…

Ye Linghua looked at Lin Xin and said with a pained expression, “I don’t have any money.”

Ye’s mother on the other end was clearly stunned. She asked cautiously, “Did you go bankrupt? I didn’t hear about it.”

Lin Xin’s eyes shifted guiltily. She didn’t know if she should be there. She wanted to leave, but she was worried that Ye Linghua would be bullied.

Ye Linghua sighed and looked at the sky. “I also started my own business. After it failed, I was in debt… None of you helped me pay it back.”

Ye’s mother paused. Although she didn’t understand what she meant, she still said, “Yes.” The main thing is, we didn’t have time! You paid it back yourself.

Ye Linghua: “At that time, I didn’t even have food to eat during the day. I lost 20 pounds in a single month.”

Ye’s mother nodded. “Yes!” You were really busy! You didn’t even have time to eat. Your mouth was filled with sores, and you didn’t eat a single bite. It’s not surprising that you got a stomach problem!

Ye Linghua: “Over the years, I’ve only managed to save a little bit of money I earned with my blood and sweat.”

Lin Xin was anxious. She thought, Why is she telling her the truth?

Ye Linghua asked in a pained voice, “67,000. Is that enough for my sister to start a business?”

Ye’s mother was confused. “Is that money… for her to spend?”

Ye Linghua’s voice immediately became serious. “What are you talking about? Who starts a business and doesn’t make a little into a lot? What? Does she think it’s too little? Tell her to get on the phone.”

Ye’s mother was frightened. She quickly said, “No, no, no. This is fine, this is fine.” She looked at her younger daughter, who was frantically shaking her head. “I’ll definitely make her learn from you. You can transfer as much as you want. I’ll make sure she does her homework.”

So, both of them hung up the phone eagerly.

Ye Linghua was afraid that if she kept talking, her mother would say something she shouldn’t.

Ye’s mother also quickly hung up. This daughter was usually so serious. Everyone in the family was always being lectured by her. If she didn’t hang up, she was afraid she would be lectured herself.

After the call ended, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Linghua’s sigh looked as if she were sad about her biased family.

Lin Xin, who was watching from the side, felt a pang of heartache. Only then did she realize that Ye Linghua also had to bear such a heavy burden.

Maybe she had also tried very, very hard, but no one understood.

Thinking about her own past “misfortunes,” Lin Xin’s eyes were filled with pity for Ye Linghua.

Ye Linghua was confused by her look. “…”

So, was this a successful attempt at showing weakness?

I haven’t read the comments yet, but I saw the previous ones about the change in Ye’s feelings.

I’ll talk about my own thoughts on this. The text before has already shown that both of them have developed feelings for each other, or at least they have shown affection, but they’ve always been holding back.

The biggest reason for Ye was her fear that Lin still had feelings for Zheng. She wasn’t going to steal someone else’s love.

Her change came when she decided to fight against the plot and compete with Zheng. That is, she decided to try to woo her, and so her actions became more obvious.

I think that Ye felt she could let go and start wooing her, which is why she changed. If you still feel that the change was too drastic, it might be a problem with my writing.

I can only say, please be a little more tolerant. Bear with me.
