After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 47

Meng Kelin went back to organize some documents, then came back with them.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the new year was not far off.

When the variety show aired, who knew what kind of situation they would face? The team needed to be prepared.

They arrived at the community by car, and the security guard at the gate lifted the parking barrier.

As the car drove into the community, the driver in the driver’s seat asked, “Thanks to Miss Ye’s help that day, when I rushed to the hospital, I found that my child was fine. But I still want to invite Miss Ye to a meal. I don’t know if that’s appropriate?”

Meng Kelin nodded. “There’s nothing inappropriate about it. But the company will probably be very busy lately, and they might call you at any time.”

The driver immediately nodded. “I understand. I definitely won’t delay my work.”

Because the company didn’t have any plans to hire another driver for the time being, his workload would be a little heavier. In return, his salary had increased significantly, and he would get a bonus if he did a good job.

The driver naturally took this job seriously and didn’t dare to delay.

Meng Kelin looked at the scenery slowly passing by outside the window. It looked desolate because of the arrival of autumn. She couldn’t help but mutter, “It’s so strange. It’s clearly a harvest season, but it looks so desolate everywhere.”

The driver smiled. “Isn’t there a poem that says—Falling flowers are not a heartless thing; they turn into spring mud and protect the flowers. The fallen leaves in autumn turn into fertilizer in the mud, and new ones will grow next year.”

Meng Kelin laughed and praised him. “You’re quite poetic.”

During their small talk, the car quickly arrived at Lin Xin’s villa. After Meng Kelin got out of the car, she was surprised to find a stranger standing in front of the villa.

She looked at the person carefully and realized that she didn’t know her.

So, Meng Kelin went up and asked, “Who are you looking for?”

The woman at the door heard her voice and turned around. Meng Kelin could now see what she looked like. She was an ordinary-looking person, wearing a white uniform and her hair in a neat bun. She was holding a notebook. When she saw Meng Kelin, she greeted her politely, “Hello, is this Miss Lin Xin’s house?”

Meng Kelin immediately became alert, afraid that a stalker fan had found this place. She frowned and whispered, “Who are you?”

The woman on the other side smiled and said, “Hello, I am from the Wei Xie housekeeping company. This is my employee number, 8622.”

A housekeeping company?

Meng Kelin was stunned. The name sounded a little familiar.

The woman continued to introduce herself. “My surname is Qian, and my name is Qian Ning. I received the notice this morning that someone had hired me, and a month’s salary has already been paid.”

Meng Kelin: “Huh?”

Qian Ning looked a little troubled for the first time. She looked back at the villa behind her and said, “But since I came here, no one has answered the doorbell, no matter how long I’ve been ringing it.”

Meng Kelin’s heart sank. She quickly took out her phone to call Lin Xin while walking forward and knocking on the door.

As expected, no matter how much she knocked, no one answered the door. Meng Kelin hung up the phone and then called Ye Linghua.

However, to her surprise, a female voice on the other end mechanically repeated over and over again: This number is not in service.

Meng Kelin: “???”

Not in service? What do you mean, not in service?! How could it not be in service?

Meng Kelin went forward and knocked on the door, shouting, “Lin Xin, open the door!”

Right after she shouted, a window on the second floor of a room was pushed open. Lin Xin, with a sleepy face, looked down and asked, “What are you shouting about?”

Meng Kelin was stunned. She went back into the yard, looked up at Lin Xin, who was sticking her head out, and asked in disbelief, “Are you sleeping?”

Lin Xin hummed. “Yeah, I’m sleeping!”

Meng Kelin looked at her carefully. She felt that something was strange, but she couldn’t pinpoint it. She told Lin Xin to come down and open the door.

But Lin Xin refused. “Why should I open the door? Aren’t you busy? You go be busy! I’m just sleeping. I’m so tired!”

Meng Kelin: “Tired of what? Come down! There’s also someone from a housekeeping company here. Since you made an appointment, why are you leaving her at the door?”

Lin Xin was stunned. She looked at the woman downstairs curiously. Sure enough, a woman in a white uniform walked out from under the porch. She was holding a briefcase and looking up at Lin Xin, introducing herself again, “Hello, Miss Lin Xin. I am from the Wei Xie housekeeping company. My name is Qian Ning.”

Lin Xin just stared at her, then asked calmly, “Who made the appointment with you?”

Qian Ning frowned and asked uncertainly, “Wasn’t it you?”

Lin Xin said, “Wait a moment.”

Then, she disappeared from the window. After a while, the door in front of the villa was opened from the inside with a click.

Meng Kelin then noticed that what was abnormal about Lin Xin was her eyes. They were noticeably red and swollen.

Has she been crying?

Lin Xin didn’t look at Meng Kelin. Instead, she asked Qian Ning, “What was the phone number of the person who made the appointment with you?”

Qian Ning said with some difficulty, “The number she left is not in service now, but she left your address in detail. Of course, Wei Xie housekeeping has a good reputation in You City. And we only take on cases from wealthy families, so you don’t have to worry about privacy issues.”

Lin Xin pursed her lips. She didn’t care about privacy issues. She just asked, “Did she not leave any other contact information?”

Qian Ning said, “She only told me that for some reason, the appointment with you needed to be made as soon as possible. And she paid a month’s salary at that time. My company gave me the assignment, so I rushed over.”

Lin Xin’s originally bright eyes instantly darkened. She asked again, not giving up, “You don’t have any of her contact information?”

Qian Ning shook her head. Meng Kelin finally understood. “Ye Linghua left?”

Lin Xin’s calm expression instantly crumbled. Her eyes turned red, and she looked at Meng Kelin with a pitifully wronged expression.

Meng Kelin was immediately nervous when she saw this. She looked around, then quickly pushed her into the house, and at the same time, she turned to Qian Ning and said, “Come back tomorrow. We have something to talk about today.”

When Qian Ning saw the situation, she naturally understood. She nodded and left. Before she left, she remembered to leave her business card in the entrance hall and said, “You can call me anytime if you need anything.”

After she left, Meng Kelin closed the door and looked at Lin Xin. “What’s with that expression? What if you get caught on camera?”

Lin Xin shook her head. She no longer cared about that. She vented her emotions and told Meng Kelin what had happened. “She left.”

Meng Kelin had already expected it. Although she didn’t know why, the fact was that she had left, so there was no need to dwell on it.

But the more Lin Xin thought about it, the more sad she became. Tears fell as she sobbed, “She even wished me happiness.”

Meng Kelin paused. For a moment, she didn’t understand what was wrong with that.

When Lin Xin saw that Meng Kelin didn’t understand, she cried even harder. “She thought I still liked Zheng Lanwen.”

Meng Kelin said, “Oh,” and couldn’t help but say, “Well, that’s a huge misunderstanding.”

When Lin Xin saw that Meng Kelin was finally on the same page, she said, “I wanted to find her to explain, but then I realized that I couldn’t find her. Besides a phone number, I don’t even know where she’s from!” At that moment, Lin Xin was so heartbroken by her own heartlessness. It was only when the person was gone that she realized how difficult it was to find someone.

Meng Kelin could only try to come up with a solution. “Didn’t Mrs. Lin help you with the interview? She should have Ye Linghua’s information. We can just get it from her.”

Lin Xin paused and suddenly realized. She immediately took out her phone and called her mother. Mrs. Lin was very kind and answered quickly.

Lin Xin held her phone tightly and asked nervously, “The nanny you said you interviewed for me that day…”

Mrs. Lin immediately felt a little guilty. “Oh~ yes, yes, yes. That was really just a misunderstanding.”

Lin Xin was stunned. She asked curiously, “A misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding?”

Mrs. Lin said, “The girl I interviewed for you that day was a poor college student. For some reason, she won a lottery. She said she won 500,000 yuan, so she didn’t want to work for you anymore. But she hired another girl to go to your place, and the one she hired had the same name. I just thought that the nanny you had was the one I interviewed. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. So, did the substitute cause any trouble?”

When she heard this, Lin Xin was completely shocked. She suddenly realized that this wasn’t as simple as just a substitute.

Ye Linghua’s approach might have had a purpose from the very beginning.

But at this moment, Lin Xin’s resolve didn’t waver. She believed that Ye Linghua’s appearance was definitely for her own good.

I’m too tired to write anymore. I’m going to bed. Good night!
