My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 51

The scene was silent for a moment because of the sudden turn of events. Everyone turned their heads to look at the table in the middle. Standing by the table was the hot topic in the entertainment industry these days—Yun Yue.

After all, slapping someone in front of the camera, Yun Yue was probably the first person to ever do so.

Today, Yun Yue was wearing a loose, vintage brown sweater tucked into a black denim skirt, giving her a nostalgic and trendy look.

The woman in front of her had her black hair tied up in a ponytail that reached her waist. She was wearing a green striped crewneck sweater and white corduroy pants. At this moment, she had her arms crossed, her legs crossed, and was leaning against the back of the chair, looking for trouble.

The fans at the other tables couldn’t help but stop drinking their coffee and looked at the two of them. Even the guests in the shop couldn’t help but stop what they were doing and look over.

At this moment, Qi Yushan, who was by the juice machine, and Lin Mo, who was by the cashier, were both a distance away from Yun Yue.

Yun Yue knew that she was looking for trouble from the moment she walked in.

But she thought about the live broadcast and how hard the guests were working. She had been willful once and couldn’t be willful again.

So, she lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Shen. I’ll get you a new cup.”

Lin Mo narrowed her eyes. Miss Shen?

Miss Shen shook her head. Her ponytail swayed back and forth behind her. She snorted, “Give me a new cup? I want this one. Can the new one be the same as this one?”

Yun Yue took a deep breath and suppressed her temper. “But this cup is already ruined. How about we don’t charge you for this cup?”

The girl laughed. “Who do you think you are, saying you won’t charge me? Did everyone else work for nothing?”

Yun Yue was speechless. The girl then said, “Anyway, you figure it out! I want my own coffee. It’s your problem that it spilled.”

Yun Yue tried her best to stay calm. “My coffee was on the table and it didn’t spill.”

Miss Shen got angry. “Are you saying I pushed it?”

Yun Yue let out a sarcastic laugh. “We have cameras here. This is also a live broadcast, Miss Shen.”

Miss Shen also laughed. “Even if I accidentally bumped it, wasn’t it your fault for not putting it down properly?”

So, the topic came back to the beginning.

Everyone knew that this person must be a fan of Qi Yushan’s. Yun Yue, of course, also knew. It wasn’t because of Miss Shen’s deliberate trouble, but because she had already known this Miss Shen for a long time. They were old acquaintances.

This girl’s name was Shen Le. She had stood with Yun Yue in court three years ago. If the feud between Yun Yue and Qi Yushan was a matter of love and hate, then the one with Shen Le was the product of this love and hate.

Shen Le was a big fan of Qi Yushan. She had been a fan of Qi Yushan since she was a trainee in a talent show. Among a group of people, Qi Yushan was considered to be very popular with many fans. Compared to Yun Yue at the time, she was a world apart.

Therefore, when Qi Yushan and Yun Yue’s “Wu Yu” CP came into being, Shen Le was one of the fans who reacted the most.

Wasn’t this a complete mooching? Yun Yue was a person with no fans and no talent. She was just a pretty face and would be nothing but a vase even if she debuted.

For such a person to be in a CP with her idol, the fans disagreed, and the career-focused fans were even more against it.

Shen Le was naturally one of the crazy opponents. And because she joined the fan group early, was very active, and had a bit of a leadership ability, she quickly became one of Qi Yushan’s big fans.

She was also one of the biggest anti-fans of the “Wu Yu” CP and one of Yun Yue’s anti-fans. Her feud with Yun Yue had been going on for several years. From fighting online to facing each other in court, the two naturally became sworn enemies.

When the shop opened today, the moment Yun Yue saw Shen Le walk in, she knew that she would be at a disadvantage today.

Therefore, Yun Yue was prepared to face Shen Le.

Shen Le was, of course, the same. The feud with Yun Yue was no longer just about Qi Yushan. Of course, the reason she came this time was indeed because Yun Yue slapped Qi Yushan. Shen Le was so angry when she saw the live broadcast that she immediately bought a plane ticket for the next day, but she missed yesterday’s “Inn of the Family” business hours, so she had to wait until today.

To make things difficult for Yun Yue, she had refused several times when Lin Mo and Su Qixi came to take her order.

At this moment, she had finally gotten what she wanted, so Shen Le was not going to let Yun Yue off so easily. Seeing Yun Yue still standing there, waiting for her to give a compensation plan, Shen Le felt great.

Three years ago, she was sued by Yun Yue. The court verdict was still on the official website. Thinking about how she was forced to bow and apologize three years ago, it was her turn today. Shen Le was, of course, ready to humiliate her properly.

“Excuse me, what happened?”

In the dozens of seconds of the feud between Shen Le and Yun Yue, Lin Mo had already walked around the cashier and stood next to Yun Yue. She looked good today, and her demeanor was gentle and friendly, with a smile on her face all year round.

There was an old saying in China: “One does not hit a smiling person.” It was hard for people like Lin Mo to get angry.

But Yun Yue knew that Shen Le was not someone to be trifled with, so she secretly shook her head at Lin Mo.

After she and Qi Yushan went their separate ways, the fans tore them apart. Shen Le dared to spread any rumor. From being a call girl, sleeping with people for favors, to workplace bullying, and drugging people to get to the top when she debuted, etc., it could be said that 80% of her bad reputation came from Shen Le.

The key was that this person also had a thick-skinned quality. When you talked to her nicely, she would make a scene and curse you for being shameless and seducing Qi Yushan. When you sued her, she would start crying online and curse the celebrity for oppressing a civilian. She would start talking about how she was affected after being sued, and how her grandmother was so angry she died.

In short, before she sued her, Yun Yue suffered a lot. After winning the lawsuit, it didn’t get much better.

When Shen Le came in today and sat down, Yun Yue was the one who went to take her order when she refused to let Su Qixi and Lin Mo take it. She was afraid that an unreasonable person like Shen Le would not be able to bully her and would end up looking for trouble with Lin Mo and Su Qixi.

Of course, she wouldn’t dare to mess with Su Qixi, as Su Qixi’s fans were not to be trifled with, but she would definitely dare to mess with Lin Mo.

Lin Mo saw Yun Yue’s warning but just smiled and didn’t leave.

She looked down at the sitting Shen Le, smiled gently, and asked, “I heard that the coffee wasn’t put down properly just now, right?”

Shen Le coughed and tried her best to make her expression look more difficult.

Lin Mo didn’t say anything and still maintained her proper smile. Then, her eyes fell on the hem of Shen Le’s pants. Lin Mo then half-crouched down to the ground and looked at the shoes that were covered by her pants. There were naturally coffee stains on the shoes.

Lin Mo said softly, “A single cup of coffee is indeed not enough compensation. How about this? We’ll remake your coffee, and we’ll give you another complimentary cup before you leave! As for your clothes and shoes, if you don’t mind, I have a brand new, unopened set upstairs.”

Her voice rang softly in the front hall. Accompanied by the light music in the cafe, it seemed to have a magical power that made people listen and made it difficult for them to refute.

Shen Le had never seen a person like Lin Mo. She was half-crouched in front of her. Her smooth, brown short hair hung in the air, swaying back and forth with her movements. After checking her losses, she proposed a reasonable solution but didn’t make a final decision. Instead, she looked up at her, gave a gentle smile, and offered another option: “If you feel that the size is not right or you don’t like it, I personally suggest that we settle this with money. Or, if you have a better suggestion, as long as the reason is reasonable, Mokeju will humbly accept it.”

Shen Le coughed again and turned her head away.

Lin Mo had already stood up and asked, “What do you think, guest?”

Shen Le: “Of course, of course not.”

Lin Mo smiled faintly. “Of course. If you don’t think it’s enough, we can continue to negotiate a solution.”

Shen Le: “…”

Lin Mo: “How about this? If you can accept a monetary solution, Mokeju is willing to pay 3,000 yuan for the clothes you’re wearing and for the damage to your mood today.”

Shen Le: “…You, you, you, don’t look down on me. Are you insulting me with money?”

Lin Mo was not angry and even laughed. “If I gave you that impression, then it is indeed my fault. Since neither monetary compensation nor new clothes can get your forgiveness, I assume that this set of clothes has a special meaning to you. If that’s the case, how about this?”

Shen Le: “…” How many more methods does this person have?

Lin Mo said, “I’ll give you the unopened set of clothes upstairs to wear. We’ll send the set you’re wearing to be dry-cleaned. Of course, as compensation, we can buy you another set of clothes that you like. The compensation for the coffee is, of course, separate. Is that satisfactory?”

“Wow~” The other fans in the hall couldn’t help but sound envious.

Shen Le really couldn’t refuse. She didn’t know why, but she felt as if she was being put on the spot.

Lin Mo saw that Shen Le didn’t answer and added, “Of course, we will pay for all the round-trip expenses for you to go shopping. Our staff, Miss Qi Yushan, will also accompany you until she sends you back to your hotel.”

“Wow~~~~”

The scene was filled with sounds of envy. Some people even shouted, “Spill it on me!”

“That’s right! You can spill it on me! I just want you guys to accompany me to buy clothes.”

Shen Le: “…”

Although Shen Le still didn’t answer, Lin Mo, who was standing in front of her, still maintained a proper smile and gave Shen Le the final result.

Shen Le couldn’t refuse. Lin Mo’s smile became even more sincere. “Since you didn’t reject this suggestion, does that mean it’s acceptable? If it is, you can come upstairs with me to change.”

Shen Le looked down at the small coffee stain on her pants and the coffee on her shoes. Accepting this compensation plan seemed a bit unreasonable for her.

Tsk!

But wasn’t she here to be unreasonable?

Shen Le looked up angrily, only to meet Lin Mo’s smiling eyes. She knew that no matter what she proposed, Lin Mo would agree. And once she proposed a condition and Lin Mo agreed, the matter would be over.

She looked at Yun Yue next to Lin Mo unwillingly and said, “She didn’t put it down properly.”

Lin Mo smiled and said, “I know, miss. She’s a member of my group, so any of her mistakes are my responsibility. If you’re not satisfied, then you can tell me, and I will follow your arrangements.”

The fans on the scene, led by someone, started to applaud. At this moment, Shen Le didn’t need to make any more demands. She had completely lost.

She looked down at her phone. Sure enough, the comments in the live broadcast were not friendly to her.

[My goodness, she’s still thinking about it?]

[She must be a fan of Qi Yushan’s, right?]

[No matter whose fan she is, if you want to make a scene, do it in private. The other guests are still filming!]

[Only Miss Pig has a good temper.]

[But who is this person? Why should she be compensated so much money?]

Shen Le had been secretly watching the live broadcast. Since she was here to represent Qi Yushan’s fans, when she first made things difficult for Yun Yue, the comments were all from fans who supported their idol.

But now, with fans from all sides joining in, it was hard for her to back down, no matter if she accepted it or not.

“No need. It’s just a little dirty. I can wash it off.” In the end, Shen Le didn’t succumb to the mere few thousand yuan. She scoffed, “Just give me two cups of coffee.”

After all, she was a big fan of Qi Yushan’s. If she took advantage here, she wouldn’t be able to face the people in the group later.

Lin Mo smiled faintly and said gently, “I didn’t expect you to be such a generous guest. In that case, I wouldn’t want to lower your character.” Lin Mo turned her head and said to Su Qixi, “Make a cup of coffee for this guest, and remember to pack one for her to take with her when she leaves.”

Su Qixi stood not far away and nodded with a smile. “Okay, I’ll make it right now. I’ll personally deliver it.”

Lin Mo then bent down to Shen Le and said, “Guest, please wait a moment. The coffee will be here soon. I’ll take this employee away for re-education! I’ll come back and clean up the coffee on the floor right away.”

With that, Lin Mo stood up and motioned to the cashier. Yun Yue followed Lin Mo with a blank look on her face. She still hadn’t figured out how it was all resolved.

Shen Le also didn’t react until Lin Mo left. She suddenly realized that she had made a scene all morning, got a bunch of curses online, and didn’t get anything. Oh, she got two free cups of coffee?

But was she someone who lacked money for coffee!!!

She didn’t want to get entangled with Lin Mo, but that person’s smile was just too hard to resist, wasn’t it?

What it meant to not hit a smiling person, Shen Le truly experienced it today.

At this moment, Qi Yushan, who was still standing by the juice machine, was also looking at Lin Mo and Yun Yue in the corner in shock. She suddenly asked herself strangely, “Shouldn’t I have been the one to go over there?”

Jiang Lun had already rushed over with a mop, laughing and shouting, “Guest! Lift your foot!!!”

“Guest! Be careful, the floor is slippery!”

“Guest! Your coffee is here! Be careful not to touch it.”

“Hahahahahaha” The other guests in the front hall all burst into laughter, making Shen Le’s face turn red.

Finally, she got up and ran away in a huff. Su Qixi shouted from behind, “Guest! Your complimentary coffee!”

Jiang Lun also rushed to the door and shouted, “Guest! Do you still want your coffee? You won’t come back and ask us to compensate you for two cups, right? It’s okay! Guest!!!”

“Hahahahahaha” Everyone in the front hall burst into laughter again.

Even the online comments were covered in [hahahahaha].

Lin Mo looked at Jiang Lun, who looked like a husky, and laughed, thinking that Shen Le had really lost all her face because of him.

She walked over and said to Jiang Lun, “That’s enough! She’s pretty miserable. She bought a plane ticket to come here and was messed with by you.”

Jiang Lun was very impressed by Lin Mo’s courage to step up and take on the responsibility just now. When he heard what Lin Mo said, he nodded cooperatively. “Yes, yes, yes. You’re the leader! I’ll listen to you.”

Lin Mo paused and smiled helplessly. “You listened to my jokes, but you took it to heart.”

The matter was perfectly resolved, and everyone was in a good mood.

And Yun Yue looked at Lin Mo, who was talking and laughing with Jiang Lun by the door. She suddenly understood where Su Qixi’s affection came from. Lin Mo was a very righteous person. Such a person would definitely not do something like what Qi Yushan did!

Such a person should be very clear about what they want and what they need.

Such a person would also do everything in their power to fight for the result.

She and Qi Yushan were a completely different type of person!

On this morning, Shen Le’s incident naturally caused a stir online.

Inevitably, Shen Le also trended. And the feud between Shen Le and Yun Yue was also posted by someone with a purpose.

[My goodness, so in the end, it’s still Qi Yushan’s fault.]

[My god, what does this have to do with my idol?]

[Isn’t she your big fan?]

[The fan makes a mistake, the idol pays for it.]

[But this Yun Yue is too serious. She made this Shen Le so miserable. Her grandmother was even so angry she died!]

[Then I wouldn’t let it go easily either.]

There were all kinds of opinions online.

On the other side, Qi Yushan looked dejected and didn’t have much energy until she got off work.

Today’s lunch was made by Li Xinling’s group. Both Li Xinling and Qi Yushan had some cooking skills, and Wu Qingqing was not completely useless either. The three of them bustled around and soon made a rich lunch.

After lunch, Zhuo Zitao started to check the inventory that was running low in the shop. Qiu Mingyi was helping her like a sycophant.

And Jiang Lun was helping Wu Qingqing wash the dishes. Qi Yushan was left out and had nothing to do for a while.

She looked around and found Yun Yue hiding in a corner of the front hall. There was a chessboard there that hadn’t been used since the shop opened. It should belong to the shop’s owner. The villagers probably came here often, as the chessboard had some wear and tear but no dust.

When they first opened the shop, Feng Ye had told them not to lose the chessboard. So, Zhuo Zitao put it on the bookshelf and hadn’t touched it since.

Qi Yushan knew that Yun Yue was a bit good at Go and liked it. But Qi Yushan also knew that she was bad at it. She had been called a “stinky player” when she played online.

At that time, her relationship with Yun Yue was still good. When she saw Yun Yue being cursed online, she even helped her curse back. But the other person said, “If you don’t know how to play, then don’t play. You’re wasting time.”

This almost made Yun Yue cry. Thinking of this, Qi Yushan couldn’t help but smile. She was about to go over and ask Yun Yue if she wanted to play a game. After all, she had also learned how to play to accompany Yun Yue.

But before she could move, she saw Yun Yue, who was crouched in front of the chessboard, turn her head to ask Lin Mo and Su Qixi behind her, “Can any of you play chess?”

Su Qixi shook her head. Lin Mo didn’t respond.

Yun Yue naturally looked at Lin Mo. “…You can?”

Lin Mo was helpless. “I don’t want to play.”

Yun Yue chuckled. “Just give it a try! I haven’t played in a long time, and I’m a little itchy.”

Lin Mo asked her, “What’s your skill level?”

Yun Yue looked away guiltily. “Someone said I’m very good.”

Lin Mo frowned suspiciously. “Are you sure?”

Su Qixi, who was next to Lin Mo, was very shocked. She stared at Lin Mo with wide eyes and asked, “You can play chess?”

Lin Mo said guiltily, “…I never said I couldn’t!”

Su Qixi said excitedly, “I lived with you for so long and didn’t even know…”

Lin Mo quickly covered the rest of her words. “What’s so strange about me being able to play chess? Don’t get so worked up!”

Su Qixi pulled her hand away and asked a little angrily, “Why didn’t I know???”

[No, why should you know?]

[The Qilin CP fans are getting their dose of sweetness again. Why do I know? Because I’m getting my dose of sweetness too. Hahaha.]

Lin Mo could only explain vaguely, “I really couldn’t play back then. Didn’t I learn later?”

Su Qixi scoffed. “You went fishing for eight years and you learned how to play chess?”

Lin Mo: “…” It seems this excuse will have to be used often.

[Hahahahahaha, what does that mean? Did Miss Pig disappear for eight years to go fishing?]

[Who the heck goes fishing for eight years? She’s about to become a mermaid.]

[Wait, so she really was fishing for eight years?]

[Do you really take what couples say when they’re fighting seriously?]

Yun Yue waved her hand and said, “Don’t fight! It’s just a game of chess. How about you, Qixi, play with me and let Lin Mo teach you?”

Su Qixi paused. “I can’t play at all!”

In the end, Lin Mo still went. Qi Yushan’s breath hitched. She was so heartbroken that she almost fell to the ground. But she held on and leaned against the counter, watching them.

Lin Mo only played for five minutes with Yun Yue before she couldn’t help but sigh. “You lied to me~”

Yun Yue was shocked. “You can tell that I’m a beginner from that?”

Lin Mo: “…The main thing is that every move you make is based on a feeling. You don’t judge the situation or count the pieces.”

Yun Yue was not convinced. “What if I’m a master?”

Lin Mo laughed. “We’ve already played dozens of moves. Can you review the game?”

Yun Yue: “…”

Although Lin Mo said that, she didn’t stop playing. She and Yun Yue continued to play back and forth. Su Qixi was confused by what she saw and looked on with a curious expression.

[Wow, Miss Pig is so amazing, isn’t she? She can even play Go!]

[There are very few women who play Go. It seems like she’s also very good at it.]

[Wuwuwu, Miss Pig looks so cool holding the pieces! Miss Pig, how about you consider me!]

[Where did that fan come from? Miss Pig can only be ours, Ssu’s.]

Qi Yushan looked at their interaction. The sourness in her heart grew heavier. Her eyes couldn’t help but fall on Lin Mo with a look of resentment. After the broadcast started, she was the person closest to Yun Yue. But after the groups were rearranged, the distance between her and Yun Yue seemed to be getting farther and farther.

At this moment, Feng Ye came in to announce, “No new stock today. Pack up. We’re all going out together in a bit.”

Lin Mo’s hand that was holding a piece paused, and she turned to look at Feng Ye.

Qiu Mingyi was confused. “Where are we going?”

Feng Ye smiled and said, “There’s a beach 50 minutes away by car. I’m taking you to have some fun.”

Feng Ye made the final decision. Everyone could only get up and start packing. Lin Mo also threw the pieces back into the box and said, “Let’s go upstairs and grab a jacket! The wind is strong by the beach.” It was early autumn now, and there had been wind these past two days. It would probably be too cool at the beach…

Yun Yue nodded and said, “You go first! I’ll look at this game. I feel like I can break the game with one move.”

Lin Mo had never seen a Yun Yue like this, so serious.

Lin Mo laughed and said, “Your skill level hasn’t reached that point yet. You have to be steady and not rush to plan the board. The best thing to do is to find someone of a similar skill level to play against.”

Yun Yue looked at Lin Mo with admiration. “It’s hard to find an adult with a similar skill level. Even if we start learning together, the gap will widen quickly. Lin Mo, I heard from Qixi that you also taught yourself after you grew up. How did you manage to stick with it? And become so good?”

Lin Mo paused and could only answer vaguely, “Probably because I’m interested in it!”

Then she looked at Su Qixi and asked, “Aren’t you going upstairs to get a jacket?” She easily changed the subject.

Su Qixi said, “You can get one for me!” She then turned to look at Yun Yue and pointed at the chessboard. “I’ll play with you. You can teach me?”

Yun Yue’s eyes lit up. “Okay! Whenever we’re free, I can teach you.”

Lin Mo looked at the two of them. It seemed they weren’t planning on leaving the chessboard anytime soon. She could only go upstairs by herself. The live broadcast cameras also focused on Su Qixi and Yun Yue. After all, it was quite interesting to watch two beginners play chess, with one beginner teaching the other.

Among the audience, there were some chess players who started to give pointers in the comments as they played. The comments also started to get lively because of this discussion.

When Lin Mo went upstairs, she found that Qi Yushan had been following her. She frowned, led Qi Yushan to the balcony, and then sighed and turned around to ask her, “Why are you following me?”

Qi Yushan didn’t expect Lin Mo to notice. She smiled bitterly and said, “I was originally going to go up and help her.”

Lin Mo shook her head, walked up and patted her shoulder, and said, “The main reason I went up to help was… I didn’t see you move.”

—”Qi Yushan, why didn’t you go up to help in the first place?”
