My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 73

Fortunately, everyone quickly reacted. Qiu Mingyi took the lead in standing up and applauding. The others immediately followed suit, also standing up and coming forward to welcome her.

Although Yimei’er wasn’t in the entertainment industry, her reputation in the circle was quite significant. In addition to her parents, who were famous in the entertainment industry, her grandparents’ generation also held resources and connections.

Yimei’er had started to get involved in the entertainment industry since college. It was not difficult for her to help Su Qixi.

‘The Home Inn’ was a show that was about to be canceled. The fact that Yimei’er had the courage to take it on was enough to show that she not only relied on her parents’ resources but also had excellent strength and courage herself.

It was precisely because of this that Yimei’er expressed her appreciation after meeting Lin Mo.

But, after all, their positions were different.

Everyone gave Yimei’er a warm welcome, just like they did with Zhao Lin before. The fans in the live stream quickly realized that Yimei’er looked familiar.

[Isn’t that the one who came a few days ago?]

[Yes, yes, yes, Su Su’s friend.]

[Boo hoo hoo, this young woman is so cool, I love her so much!!!]

The atmosphere on set slowly became lively again, as if they had accepted Lin Mo’s departure.

The only person on set who was still in a daze was Su Qixi. Yimei’er saw it but didn’t go over to comfort her. For one, as a guest who came to save the show, her camera time would definitely be a lot today.

Another reason was that when she came to film, she had told Director Feng to try not to film Su Qixi in today’s live stream.

Therefore, there was no need for her to bring the camera over to Su Qixi. It would be better to let Su Qixi process it on her own. She couldn’t help but complain in her heart. She’s just leaving the show. It’s not like she’s going to die. I don’t know why she’s so sad.

Thinking about it, she turned her head and glared at Su Qixi.

Su Qixi was stunned and looked at Yimei’er with a confused look. She even wondered if this person was doing it on purpose. She’s already so sad, and she’s still glaring at her?

On the other side, Lin Mo, who had been gone for a while, finally returned. She was later than Yimei’er because she had a follow-up discussion about the contract with Director Feng.

Lin Mo hadn’t fulfilled the contract to the end, but the show’s crew knew about her debt when she came to film. Therefore, the final decision between both parties was to terminate the contract amicably.

After they finished discussing the contract details, Director Feng explained the salary issue to her. Only after everything was cleared up did he let Lin Mo leave.

Seeing that Lin Mo didn’t argue and was about to leave, Director Feng stopped her again. “Handle things well. With your current popularity, it’s not impossible to become famous in the industry in the future. Money comes fast in the entertainment industry. That debt might be paid off in no time.”

Lin Mo heard the concern in his voice and said with a smile, “Thank you, but I don’t plan to stay in the industry.”

Director Feng frowned. “Why not? Your couple’s popularity with Su Qixi is so high.”

Lin Mo smiled helplessly. “The couple is popular, but I have other ways to make money.”

Director Feng frowned. “You’ve invested more than ten times. If you still can’t make money this way, why are you so obsessed with investing? In any profession, there’s a top-tier. A different path might be easier.”

Lin Mo nodded. “Anyway, thank you, Director Feng. I’m grateful for your care during this time. If you need any publicity later, I can help.”

Director Feng saw that she heard him but didn’t listen to his advice. He could only nod, wave his hand, and say, “Okay, I know. Go ahead!”

Lin Mo helped him close the door and left. As she walked past the office building, the crew members’ eyes always seemed to drift toward Lin Mo.

Lin Mo didn’t care. Her faint smile was filled more with the trouble of facing Su Qixi. She had promised Su Qixi this morning that she wouldn’t abandon her, but she did in the afternoon. It would be hard to console her.

When she returned to the Home Inn, everyone was gathered around the dining table, chatting with Yimei’er. The atmosphere was harmonious.

But Su Qixi was sitting alone at the entrance, her hands propping up her chin as she looked at the ginkgo tree in the yard.

The autumn wind blew, causing the fallen leaves on the ground to dance. After a few spins, they slowly landed on the ground again. The sounds of summer were gone completely. The season had clearly entered autumn.

Su Qixi was also wearing a gray sweater jacket, and her long hair was down. It didn’t feel stuffy.

She didn’t know how long she had been sitting there alone. Fortunately, her relationship with Yimei’er was very good.

The soft sound of the door closing by Lin Mo woke her up.

Su Qixi came back to her senses and saw Lin Mo’s back. She was securing the door bolt. As soon as she turned around, she saw Su Qixi rushing toward her like a cannonball, which scared Lin Mo into quickly hugging her. But because of her impact, she also hit the door behind her. The door bolt, which served as a lock, was on her back, making it a little uncomfortable.

“You’re back.” Su Qixi rested her head on her chest and wrapped her arms tightly around her waist. Her voice was filled with deep anxiety.

Lin Mo knew the reason for her behavior. A hint of guilt flashed in her eyes. She reached out and rubbed her head, saying with a smile, “I just had a long talk with Director Feng.”

Su Qixi rubbed against her chest and asked her quietly, “Are you really leaving?”

Lin Mo: “I do have to leave. I’m going to Haishi to negotiate a collaboration. I’ll come pick you up when you’re done filming.”

Pick me up? Su Qixi raised her head from her embrace. Lin Mo was also looking down at her, her eyes filled with tenderness. Just one look made Su Qixi a little lost in it.

“You won’t just disappear, right?” Her worry had always been that the events of eight years ago would repeat themselves.

Lin Mo nodded. “Of course not.”

Lin Mo’s words had always carried weight.

It was just like all those years ago when she said in the alley, “I’ll take you back.”

So, she carried a stranger on her back, took meticulous care of her for a few months, and kept her by her side for three years.

It was just like all those years ago when she said, “I won’t let Su Yong take you away.”

So, she personally hired a lawyer and researched French law. She ran around her neighborhood, visited many places, and helped her escape from Su Yong’s guardianship. Even though Su Yong was a rogue, Lin Mo was able to handle him easily.

It was just like all those years ago when she said, “Leave the rest to me.”

So, she carried out her revenge, changed classes, and a series of other things.

Lin Mo’s words had always carried weight. She always followed through on her promises and wouldn’t easily promise things she couldn’t do.

So, even though Lin Mo just said a simple phrase, “Of course not,” without any reason to support the promise, Su Qixi believed it.

The anxiety in her heart suddenly disappeared. Lin Mo said she was just going to work and would be back.

Letting go of Lin Mo, Su Qixi leaned against the door and said, “About the things about you online, Jingjing-jie has already instructed public relations…”

“No need.” Lin Mo shook her head. The autumn wind messed up her short hair. She advised Su Qixi, “Don’t rush to interfere. Let’s see what else they have up their sleeve.”

Su Qixi tilted her head and asked, “What do you mean?”

Lin Mo gave a gentle smile. Although she didn’t want to hurt Su Qixi—after all, Su Qixi had experienced that kind of online bullying and didn’t want to bring up the past…

“When we were in high school, we were a little too free-spirited.” It was a simple sentence, but it carried a lot of meaning.

The only feuds that could be mentioned in high school were from her first year. Lin Mo did do some big things, but if you didn’t know the cause and effect, those big things could make her seem like a tyrannical school bully.

Su Qixi’s face turned pale. She looked at Lin Mo with concern. “Lin Mo, I’ll explain. If they bring up high school, I’ll be the one to explain it.”

Lin Mo shook her head. “I’ll handle it myself. You film well. Before this is resolved, it’s best not to get involved.”

Why can school bullying be hidden from the victims’ families time and time again? Why can it make the victims shut up time and time again?

Lin Mo closed her eyes, hoping that those people would understand that if they brought up what happened back then, they weren’t clean either.

“I’m going to pack my luggage,” Lin Mo said and left.

Su Qixi stood still, looking at Lin Mo’s hurried back. She suddenly remembered what Zhao Lin had said.

A strong Lin Mo, a Lin Mo who only smiled in front of her, was only half of her. Lin Mo was also human. Lin Mo could also be sad in the spring and autumn, and Lin Mo could also encounter difficulties.

But why did she never show these things in front of her? We should face our difficulties together! That’s how it should be!

“I’m clearly… grown up,” she said as the autumn wind blew past, as if growing another year was just a testament to the passing of time.

Lin Mo entered the Home Inn and went to the second floor.

Although the camera wasn’t focused on her, the eyes of the other guests followed her.

Alert fans naturally noticed and couldn’t help but ask, [Is Lin Mo back?]

[Probably. Even though she’s not filming anymore, she has to come get her luggage, right?]

[Yeah! Qi Youxuan also left suddenly and took her luggage with her.]

[Sigh, is ‘The Home Inn’ cursed? Three guests have left all of a sudden.]

[Hey, hey, hey, don’t compare us to our star. Our star’s contract expired, so she left on time.]

[Exactly. One’s a scumbag, and the other’s a criminal. Our star fulfilled her contract, so she’s not like them.]

[Speaking of which, Qi Youxuan seems to have gone silent.]

[How dare she show her face after being such a scumbag?]

[By the way, can a deadbeat go to jail?]

[Our Miss Pig is really penniless! It’s not that she has money and won’t pay it back! As soon as she makes money, she’ll definitely pay it back.]

[If she can’t pay back the money, she shouldn’t have borrowed it!]

[Why can’t she pay it back? Su Qixi can pay it off for her in a minute.]

[F*ck, she’s a moocher.]

The comments had just calmed down a bit, but they were immediately provoked and started arguing again. Director Feng rubbed his head. Fortunately, Lin Mo was about to leave.

Otherwise, the comments would definitely be in a heated debate right now. Today, several fans had already complained about the live stream. Although the official side had helped suppress it for a while, they couldn’t keep it up forever. Sigh.

Lin Mo went upstairs to pack her luggage and found that she didn’t have much. Just a pile of clothes, which Su Qixi had bought for her. The most valuable thing was this pile of clothes.

She looked around and saw that the only other thing was the panda wearing a traditional Chinese outfit on the table.

She stuffed everything in, zipped up the bag, and carried her luggage downstairs. The camera finally focused on Lin Mo.

Probably because she was leaving, Lin Mo was dressed very discreetly. Her suitcase was at her side, and she looked at the other guests who were standing up. She said with a smile, “Thank you for taking care of me during this time. If we have a chance in the future, let’s get together again.”

In the video, her expression was a bit tired. The fans didn’t know if it was because of the news today, and they felt very heartbroken.

[Boo hoo hoo, she must be in a difficult position, right?]

[Yeah! Miss Pig is so pitiful. She has to take the train back.]

[Ah, speaking of which, she came here by train last time, and then transferred to the airport?]

[…That’s a weird focus.]

“Then it’s a deal. We’ll come find you then,” Jiang Lun said with a smile.

Lin Mo nodded. “I’ll wait for you.”

She looked down at her watch and said, “It’s about time. I’ll get going now.”

So, the guests stood up and saw her off at the door. Su Qixi, who had been following her, remained silent.

When she reached the main door, Lin Mo turned back and said something to Yimei’er: “Then I’ll leave them to you.”

Yimei’er nodded. Lin Mo then turned and opened the door. The fans outside had already been cleared out by Director Feng. Lin Mo waved goodbye to everyone and closed the door.

She left very quickly, without any dramatic farewells. With a simple wave, she closed the wooden door. This also meant that Lin Mo’s part in the story really ended here.

At once, the fans felt a sense of melancholy. Looking at the quiet wooden door and the guests who were still standing behind it, the fans couldn’t help but say, [I felt like she had a lot more time, but I didn’t expect her to leave just like that.]

[Everything was fine yesterday, and she seemed to be doing well this morning. She left after lunch. It’s so hard to accept!]

But unlike the fans, the guests on the scene were suddenly stunned by Lin Mo’s last words before she left.

Zhuo Zitou asked Yimei’er in confusion, “‘Them’ means?”

Yimei’er: “Them, all of you.”

It didn’t feel right, but it also kind of made sense?

Everyone suddenly started crying with surprise. “Boo hoo hoo, Lin Mo, I’m so touched.”

[Hahahaha, these guys really believed her~!]

When Lin Mo pushed her luggage to the parking lot, a black sedan was already parked there.

The car window was rolled down, and a cheerful and cute girl stuck her head out. Her smile was bright, her features were exquisite, but she had a very charming and sweet look.

Seeing Lin Mo, she giggled. “Boss, did you make my salary?”

Lin Mo opened the car door, sat inside, and said, “Let’s go! I’ll pay you back your salary.” With that, she yawned and closed her eyes to sleep.

“You always say that. I’m the only one who’s stupid enough to believe you.”

The girl grumbled, but she quickly put the car in gear, and the car quickly turned around and drove away from the parking lot.
