After Transmigrating, I Fell in Love with a Top-Tier Movie Queen - Chapter 53.2

Meng Kelin opened WeChat and glanced at it. Yes, it was a very beautiful umbrella. The beautiful canopy color, although bright red, wasn’t harsh at all. And the handle, etc., even without knowing anything about umbrellas, she knew this was a very uncommon umbrella.

Then, someone else sent Lin Xin a paragraph of text.

【Although it’s just a photo, and I haven’t seen the physical item, I can’t make a 100% judgment. But I must tell you, this umbrella is definitely the nobility among umbrellas; it’s not something you can just buy from a roadside stall. Such a dignified umbrella must be a brand. I know all the high-end umbrella brands in the world, and I’ve never seen the one in your photo! It’s highly likely that this is a custom-made umbrella.】

Another netizen replied: 【I can almost certainly say that the craftsmanship of this umbrella belongs to BORIY umbrellas. A world-class umbrella company. Their umbrellas aren’t unaffordable, but they are all handmade, so the quantity is very small. Moreover, their umbrellas do not use flashy or clever designs. For centuries, they have never deviated from the classics. However, they only take a few custom orders a year, and they are designed according to the individual, making them very rare. The umbrella in your photo has many traces of BORIY. It’s highly probable it’s theirs. Would you be willing to sell it? I’d love to add it to my collection.】

Meng Kelin finished reading the umbrella enthusiasts’ analysis of Ye Linghua’s umbrella and felt completely unnerved.

She said to Lin Xin: “Snap out of it; this is getting more and more ridiculous. According to them, Ye Linghua would have to be a daughter of a prominent family, right?”

Lin Xin paused, suddenly becoming sober. She didn’t want to know who Ye Linghua was or if she had money. She just wanted to connect Ye Linghua with “Zero”…

Hmm? Ling (菱) in Ye Linghua, and Ling (零) in Zero?

Lin Xin brightened again: “Look, ‘Ling’ in Ye Linghua and ‘Zero’ (in Chinese Pinyin, they are pronounced the same) are homophones, aren’t they?”

Meng Kelin cut her off sharply: “Coincidence.” Ye Linghua’s background couldn’t be any higher!

Lin Xin: “When there are several coincidences, it’s less likely to be a coincidence, right?”

Meng Kelin paused again. Thinking carefully, she also felt that the more they analyzed it, the closer they seemed to get. But upon reflection, there was no solid evidence. Ultimately, it was all based on intuition.

Moreover…

Logically speaking, is it appropriate for such a wealthy person to work as a nanny?

Given the umbrella Lin Xin showed her, she was not just rich; she also had extremely good taste. An umbrella that was almost impossible to buy or customize suggested more than just wealth!

A rich person could say working as a nanny was for fun. But why would someone with such impeccable taste have such a low-end hobby?

However, in truth, Ye Linghua did possess an air of aristocracy.

Meng Kelin was slowly being convinced…

Lin Xin asked her: “So, do you think my guess is correct?”

Meng Kelin closed her eyes and finally gave in. She asked Lin Xin: “Xin Xin, let’s assume everything you said is correct. Your guess is correct.”

A look of relief appeared on Lin Xin’s carefully composed face.

But Meng Kelin instantly shattered her joy: “Then, Xin Xin, will someone with this much wealth and family background easily accept you? Not just her, but her family, too.”

Lin Xin froze, the relaxed expression on her face instantly hardening.

She blinked her big eyes, and suddenly felt a sting in her eyes.

She recalled that late night when Ye Linghua stood before her and said she liked her.

It must have been very difficult for Ye Linghua to take that step and confess, right?

Did she consider her family?

Someone like Ye Linghua must have considered it before speaking! But she showed no fear and didn’t consider my status.

Ye Linghua never hurt me; I hurt her.

Did fleeing make her miss Ye Linghua once, and now she’d miss her countless times more?

“I don’t care.”

Meng Kelin: “Hmm?”

Lin Xin: “I’m going to try. If ‘Zero’ is her, I’ll try. If ‘Zero’ isn’t her, I’ll still try. If she’s truly rich, I’m not afraid; I’ll earn money too. If she has no money, I’m not afraid; I’ll support her.”

There was silence on the phone. Lin Xin was a little worried that Meng Kelin wouldn’t support her, but she had already made up her mind. This time, she would be the one to tell Ye Linghua of her love.

Unexpectedly, Meng Kelin wasn’t angry; instead, she spoke with great pleasure: “Lin Xin, it’s so good that you can say that.”

The Lin Xin who was brave enough to love and was fearless of anyone was the real Lin Xin! Even though that Lin Xin used to give Meng Kelin a headache.

But Meng Kelin, not as an agent but as a family member, was overjoyed that Lin Xin had finally found herself again.

She thought that the blow from Zheng Lanwen would make her afraid to love again. But Ye Linghua saved her! Lin Xin found the exit, groping her way little by little from the deepest abyss of hurt, guided by the light Ye Linghua offered!

Meng Kelin said earnestly: “I will support you. We’ll find Ye Linghua together!” If you love this much and are willing to try bravely, then I will remain your strong support.

Lin Xin was first stunned, having thought Meng Kelin would stop her again, just as she had tried to stop her with Zheng Lanwen.

Therefore, hearing Meng Kelin’s support, she was so moved by the reversal that she thanked her excitedly: “Thank you!”

Meng Kelin couldn’t help but laugh: “What’s wrong with you? You’re acting like you absolutely need my support.”

Lin Xin: “Yes! I absolutely do.”

Meng Kelin: “Ah?”

Lin Xin’s voice traveled clearly through the phone’s receiver to Meng Kelin’s ear. Lin Xin said: “You’re like a mother to me. Getting your support is more important than anything.”

When Lin Xin was with Zheng Lanwen, she was only 20. She ignored Meng Kelin’s objections, just like any rebellious child.

But the Lin Xin of today was like a grown-up child who knew how important and happy it was for a relationship to have the support of family.

She would never know the happiness and joy that this simple sentence brought to Meng Kelin’s heart.

Ye Linghua woke up from a nap and saw the group chat discussing Lin Xin’s matter.

Ye Linghua couldn’t be bothered to pay attention. She told herself not to focus on Lin Xin anymore. The problems that needed to be solved had been handled for her. Next, she just had to wait for Lin Xin and Zheng Lanwen to remarry.

At this thought, her hands, which were under the faucet, froze, and her expression faltered. She closed her eyes tightly, suppressing the bitterness in her heart. Ye Linghua told herself that this was the world of the novel, and the power of the plot was strong.

If Lin Xin would be happy with that person, Zheng Lanwen, then let them be together!

Her close friends in the group chat were only paying special attention to Lin Xin because of Ye Linghua.

Soon after, one of them sent Ye Linghua a message.

Ye Linghua looked down and paused.

The message read: 【Lin Xin @’d you. Aren’t you going to take a look?】

Ye Linghua had planned to disappear for good after helping Lin Xin solve her trouble this time.

Didn’t she specifically use a small account so she could discard it anytime?

Lin Xin @’d me. It can’t hurt to take a look, right?

She casually tried to persuade herself while eating breakfast.

By the time she finished breakfast, she had “convinced” herself. She took out her phone and opened Weibo. Since it automatically logged into her main account, she didn’t see Lin Xin’s mention.

Ye Linghua then realized Lin Xin had @’d her “Small Account” Weibo, so she quickly switched accounts.

The moment she logged in, she heard a continuous barrage of “dinging” sounds.

Ye Linghua: “…”

She looked down and realized that because her post had made it onto the hot search, there were already many comments. And because Lin Xin had @’d her today, even more people had come to leave messages.

Hence the non-stop notification sounds.

Ye Linghua fiddled with it for a while before finally turning off the notifications. Then, because there were too many replies and mentions, she couldn’t find Lin Xin’s. She had to navigate to Lin Xin’s Weibo and, sure enough, saw that Lin Xin had @’d her.

Lin Xin V: 【@SmallAccount, thank you for your help. Can I treat you to a meal?】

After Lin Xin’s mention, her fans immediately helped by mentioning the account again and again. After all, this was equivalent to saving Lin Xin! Fans were very enthusiastic about a benefactor, not to mention the group of CP fans eager for some romance. The Ling Xing CP fans enthusiastically waved their banner.

Ye Linghua: “…”

After thinking for a while, she could only reply to Lin Xin: 【@LinXin, No need.】

Lin Xin angrily threw her phone down. Meng Kelin looked at her helplessly: “She’s hiding from you; that kind of reply is normal!”

Lin Xin: “Then what should I do? If we don’t meet, how will I know if she’s Ye Linghua?”

Meng Kelin chuckled: “What’s the rush? Let the fans slowly dig her up!”

Lin Xin was curious: “What do you mean?”

Meng Kelin: “Someone like her is already a very newsworthy person. Never mind the fans, those paparazzi are probably already trying every means to find the main account connected to the small account.” She had seen too many celebrities whose small accounts were exposed. Ye Linghua, who was practically telling you she was using a small account, how could people not know she had a main one?

Lin Xin looked at her with suspicion. She supposed it made sense, but she still decided to try harder herself! So, she picked up her phone again and replied to Ye Linghua: 【@SmallAccount, why don’t you send me your address privately, and I’ll mail you a gift?】

SmallAccount: 【@LinXin, I don’t lack anything.】

Lin Xin: 【@SmallAccount, This is my sentiment! My sincere sentiment!!!】

SmallAccount: 【…I don’t need it. @LinXin】

Lin Xin: 【If you say that, I’m going to cry!!! @SmallAccount】

The back-and-forth interaction between the two made the fans burst into laughter.

【Big Boss, don’t go too far! Our Xin Bao is being so humble.】

【Exactly! She’s offering to treat you to a meal! If she asked me, I’d take out a year’s salary to treat Xin Bao.】

【Xin Bao has never @’d anyone to ask them out for a meal. Big Boss, I advise you to play along.】

【Xin Bao is so cute, but she’s also a good Xin Bao who knows how to repay kindness.】

As Lin Xin’s fans, everyone was very supportive of her interacting with such a big boss. As Lin Xin’s CP fans, they were even happier; what a loving interaction!

【@BigBossSmallAccount, just say yes already!】

【Exactly! Otherwise, Xin Bao is going to cry herself dizzy in the bathroom.】

【@SmallAccount, Big Boss, look at our Xin Bao! She’s so beautiful.】

Of course, fans and casual viewers could see this as a joke. But a celebrity of Lin Xin’s status wouldn’t be without haters! Not to mention, she had just had a huge confrontation with Lin Wan, so it would be strange if Lin Wan’s fans didn’t show up.

【Seriously, they’re ungrateful! She’s refused so obviously.】

【Heh, say yes? Didn’t you see that they look down on your idol?】

【This small account user doesn’t dare to show their main account. They’re not a good person. It’s fitting to @LinXin too, I guess.】

【@LinXin doesn’t have the luck to enjoy life in a wealthy family!】

【Give it up! That small account user might not be a good person, but they clearly don’t fancy @LinXin, okay?】

The fans quickly jumped out to defend her: 【You guys are garbage for not even daring to @BigBossSmallAccount when you curse!】

Sure enough, a short while later, the small account posted a Weibo update: 【The reason I didn’t eat with @LinXin is because I feel I am unworthy. (Angry emoji)】

Lin Wan’s fans: 【…】

【Get owned! Lin Wan’s supporters! Your idol is in trouble and trending on the hot search! Hurry up and go hide!】

【Exactly! Lin Wan is still trending on the hot search. How dare you guys come out and cause trouble?】

After scolding Lin Wan’s fans back home, Lin Xin’s fans cheered happily. Meanwhile, the CP fans were celebrating a major holiday because of the Big Boss Small Account’s reply! And because the Big Boss Small Account was so doting, another wave of Ling Xing CP fans was attracted.

Lin Xin looked at the small account’s defense and became increasingly certain that it was Ye Linghua.

Lin Xin: “If it were a normal person she didn’t know, they wouldn’t have responded so quickly, right?”

Meng Kelin also felt conflicted looking at the small account’s reply.

However, Meng Kelin’s thoughts proved correct.

The fans were indeed effective!

Ye Linghua’s small account wasn’t registered on the spot, and the Douyin account was also used long-term.

Fans have eyes like fire and gold. They began to slowly investigate from the small account and “Zero” on Douyin!

Although the small account was registered a long time ago, it wasn’t used much. But it wasn’t entirely without information. The small account didn’t have many Weibo posts but often made donations, and there was one “like” that stood out.

It was evident that the small account was not only rich but also kind-hearted.

Following the trail of that “like,” they found another very ordinary Weibo account. It had few followers, just like a regular person’s account.

But checking the posts on this account revealed that this person was quite talkative. The Weibo post that the Big Boss Small Account liked was a sweepstakes post. The user said that sweepstakes were very popular on Weibo recently, and she wanted to join in, so she was starting one and offering a Mercedes-Benz as the prize.

This Weibo post was from five years ago, a year when sweepstakes were indeed very popular nationwide. Many bloggers set high-value items as prizes to gain traffic.

One person even gave away an amount of money that a common person couldn’t spend in a lifetime. This triggered the sweepstakes craze that year. The Big Boss Small Account’s friend must have been prompted by this trend to join in!

However, she wasn’t a major blogger and didn’t have many followers, only about ten likes.

Fans opened all the likes on this post and her other Weibo posts for comparison and discovered a strange problem.

The netizen named “Qín Cài Yǒu Dú” (Poisonous Celery) had hundreds of Weibo posts. Because she had so many posts, even if she didn’t reveal much about her life, there was still a decent amount of information.

For example, the netizen “Qín Cài Yǒu Dú” was a very beautiful girl with short hair.

She often liked to record interesting things from her life…

And the occasional glimpses of her hands, bags, and the places she went all showed that “Qín Cài Yǒu Dú” was a very wealthy girl.

Most of her Weibo posts had dozens of likes. After analysis and comparison, fans found that the people who consistently liked her posts did not exceed six people.

The others were likely passersby who accidentally saw the post and liked it.

Excluding these passersby, a careful observation of the six people’s likes revealed that, excluding meaningless daily posts, posts with special significance like birthdays and sweepstakes, or posts with friend interactions, usually managed to gather all six likes promptly.

Furthermore, “Qín Cài Yǒu Dú” had @’d these six people before.

Based on this comprehensive analysis, these six people and “Qín Cài Yǒu Dú” must be real-life friends.

From this deduction, the Weibo post offering a Mercedes-Benz should also have six likes!

But…

The fans noticed that only one person among the six friends had not liked this post. Six friends, but only five likes. Either they forgot, had a falling out, or used a different account to like it.

Given that the Big Boss Small Account’s profile was very clean, with only this one liked post, and was clearly a small account, there must be a main account.

Based on this, the friend who did not like the Mercedes-Benz sweepstakes post was highly likely the Big Boss Small Account’s main account!!!

Thus, everyone followed the content of the liked post and entered that main account.

The Weibo account suspected by everyone was named: “Ròng Qǐ” (Restart).

Meng Kelin looked at the messages in the fan group and relayed the news to Lin Xin.

“The fans think there’s a 90% chance that this is the Big Boss Small Account’s main account.”

Lin Xin repeated the name: “Róng Qǐ (Restart).”

Then she laughed and followed the fans’ trail to the Róng Qǐ Weibo account and clicked on it.

The first thing she noticed was that Róng Qǐ’s profile picture was a red circular button.

And Ye Linghua loved the color red.

She then found that this Róng Qǐ didn’t post much. Browsing through, most were just “likes” and donation posts. In this regard, it was quite similar to the Big Boss Small Account’s Weibo.

From this, there was still no relevant information about Ye Linghua.

Lin Xin paused, a flash of inspiration hitting her.

She tapped the search bar and typed in the character for “umbrella” (傘). After a long hesitation, as if finally making up her mind, she trembled and tapped the search button.

Lin Xin nervously stared at the phone screen, which showed a spinning search icon due to the slow signal. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Weibo loaded the results.

Lin Xin stared at the phone screen, slowly widening her eyes, which were moist and shining.

Meng Kelin asked curiously: “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Lin Xin looked up, beaming, and put the phone in front of her: “I found it! The red customized umbrella.”

Yes, she found it. She found Ye Linghua!
