My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 6

After Su Qixi took her seat, two or three more people arrived. Apart from those who were not in the city or did not have time, almost everyone from Class 3-1 was present.

Actually, this was not the first time Class 3-1 had a reunion over the years, but it was the first time for both Su Qixi and Lin Mo.

Therefore, for the two of them, seeing their classmates brought a feeling of being in a different lifetime. This feeling was especially strong for Lin Mo.

She naturally helped Su Qixi pour some wine, and then poured a little for herself.

Gently swirling her wine glass, she glanced around. Compared to the rest of Ningcheng, this hotel was quite high-end. The decor was luxurious but not gaudy, the tables were tasteful, and the interior was well-appointed.

The comfortable lighting, pleasant atmosphere, and gentle, elegant background music made everyone feel at ease.

She took a small sip of the red wine, and the liquid glided smoothly down her throat, leaving a fruity, lingering aftertaste.

As the classmates around them began to chatter, Hao Tianhua was also frequently pulled into the conversation and thanked. Perhaps for the sake of Lin Mo, whom they had not seen in years, a few of her close friends from the past seriously began to talk about their current lives and jobs.

The class leader, Qin Ke, had graduated with a degree in financial management and lived up to his hard work, as he had now successfully started his own business.

The life committee member, Wen Jiarong, was now a senior executive at a foreign company and was still unmarried.

The sports committee member, Fang Gangyi, had become a fitness trainer and had two children, and his life was a bit difficult financially.

The labor committee member, Huang Rongrong, was said to have just met her girlfriend’s parents, and they would likely get married by the end of the year.

Besides them, there were Su Qixi and Lin Mo’s former deskmates, Deng Jingrou and Tao Shu. One was a stay-at-home mother, and the other was an entrepreneur.

Lin Mo sat in her seat, listening to them talk about the small details of their lives over the years, and calmly ate her dinner. She seemed to be a part of the group, yet also apart from it.

Soon, the conversation finally turned to Lin Mo.

Qin Ke said, “Lin Mo, we haven’t been in touch since high school graduation. Where in the world did you go all these years?”

Wen Jiarong also asked, “Yeah! I heard you didn’t even go to college.”

Lin Mo paused, but she had faced much more difficult situations. This kind of small question was easy for her to handle. She looked up and smiled brightly and confidently, saying, “I went fishing at sea.”

Qin Ke and Wen Jiarong were speechless.

Su Qixi let out a sneer, scoffing, “She went fishing for eight years! How impressive.”

Qin Ke’s question was immediately cut short by Su Qixi’s interruption, and he fell silent.

Lin Mo did not get angry. Instead, she laughed helplessly and said, “Thank you.”

Su Qixi choked on her words and angrily retorted, “I wasn’t complimenting you!”

Wen Jiarong let out a small laugh, and the others exchanged glances and began to laugh as well. Although Hao Tianhua was no longer young, he had kept up with the entertainment industry somewhat because of his famous student.

He couldn’t help but laugh and tease, “Our Film Empress is saying you haven’t been doing anything proper!”

Lin Mo wasn’t embarrassed by being exposed. She still laughed gently and responded, “You’ve wronged me! I worked my life away.”

Deng Jingrou, who used to sit in front of Lin Mo and was very close to her, couldn’t help but ask with concern, “Then where do you work now?”

Su Qixi’s hand, holding her soup spoon, paused, and she secretly perked up her ears.

Lin Mo, in front of a group of friends who were either executives, bosses, or married to wealthy partners, did not feel ashamed at all. She said with composure, “I’m currently unemployed.”

Deng Jingrou was taken aback, feeling that she had asked an awkward question. She quickly said, “Come work at my husband’s company. Our company is hiring right now.” Lin Mo had been one of the top students in Class 3-1, and Deng Jingrou felt that with her character, Lin Mo could handle any job.

Lin Mo shook her head. “I don’t have time right now. I’m busy being a fan.”

As soon as she said that, there were a series of coughs from the tables on both sides. Su Qixi was so choked up that she had tears in her eyes. She felt a sense of panic, but also an indescribable happiness.

Deng Jingrou was speechless. “…That doesn’t make sense. Being a fan doesn’t stop you from working! So, who are you a fan of?” Her gossipy attitude was on full display.

Su Qixi quickly got up and served a bowl of soup for Hao Tianhua, then said to everyone, “Hurry and drink up. This soup is delicious.”

Lin Mo glanced at her. “It’s a difficult journey. I’ll tell you when I succeed.”

Deng Jingrou was speechless. “…You’re being a fan! And you think you can succeed??”

Qin Ke had just recovered from his coughing fit, but this remark made him burst into laughter. He asked, “How much do you know about fan culture?” In high school, Lin Mo had been an excellent student and was not rigid, but she seemed uninterested in many things that young people enjoyed.

For example, she often lacked interest in outings, being a fan, or internet cafes. She even seemed nonchalant about her test scores most of the time.

Therefore, Qin Ke couldn’t imagine how Lin Mo would fit into “fan culture” while being a fan.

Lin Mo was stumped. After a moment, she said, “I know a fan site administrator. I’m learning from her.”

Hao Tianhua laughed at her. “You’re putting in the same effort you used to for college!”

Lin Mo nodded. “You have to take it seriously.”

Su Qixi’s hand went limp, and she accidentally knocked over her soup bowl. Although it was a clear soup, it did not look good splashed on her dress. She got up, shook off the stains, and then said in a low voice, “I’m going to the restroom.”

With that, she left.

Lin Mo also got up, smiled, and said to everyone, “I’m going too.”

Hao Tianhua and Qin Ke and the others all said, “Go, go!”

Watching Lin Mo’s back, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, hoping that the two of them would reconcile soon.

After all, they had seen their journey firsthand.

As soon as Lin Mo stepped out of the private room, she no longer saw Su Qixi. She followed the signs to the restroom. Perhaps because Su Qixi had booked the whole area for the night, the quiet hallway was devoid of even staff.

Upon entering the restroom, she saw no one. Lin Mo paused, wondering, “Where did she go? Did she go to the second floor?”

Her heart sank a little. Or… is she avoiding me?

For her, maybe she came back with all her might. But for Su Qixi, it was a fact that she had been gone for eight years. She had been rejected before, and now she was shamelessly clinging to her.

Lin Mo lowered her head and gave a wry smile. It seemed she had a long road ahead of her.

“Are you following me?” Su Qixi’s voice, tinged with defiance, came from behind her.

Lin Mo was stunned and turned to see that Su Qixi was indeed standing at the restroom door, her arms crossed and a look of displeasure on her face.

But Lin Mo felt relieved and her face lit up. She knew that Su Qixi was waiting for her here.

Her voice softened, and she called out gently, “Xiao Xi.”

Su Qixi turned her head away. “What do you want to say? Don’t tell me you regret it?”

Lin Mo smiled with complete honesty and said, “Yes.”

The restroom in this hotel was very spacious, using a clever design with plenty of open space, giving guests a relaxed and comfortable feeling.

However, no one was paying attention to that right now.

Su Qixi froze when she heard Lin Mo’s single word. Lin Mo never said she regretted anything…

It was like that time she had kicked open the classroom door and, in front of the Class 1 homeroom teacher, beat up half of the students in the class. The principal grabbed her and swore to expel her, but he couldn’t make her show any sign of pleading.

She had no regrets. She could even smile calmly and say provocatively, “Whatever.”

Her grades were excellent, and she said she would just find another school. It was as if she had a backup plan even after doing something so terrible.

She would not be afraid of anyone, and she would not
