My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 80

Su Qixi’s words not only baffled the director but also confused Lin Mo.

Lin Mo began to seriously recall the events of that evening. After thinking it over, she was even more certain that she had only exchanged two sentences with Su Qixi on that first night.

Thinking more deeply, Lin Mo started to wonder if Su Qixi was getting her memories mixed up. Could she have confused what happened in the evening with what happened earlier that day?

Feng Ye looked at the frenzied fans and the endless stream of comments, thinking happily, “This is a wonderful misunderstanding!” He decided to pretend he knew nothing.

Feng Ye even thought for a moment and added, “Qixi, don’t worry, we won’t broadcast anything that’s too lewd or violent.”

Lin Mo was speechless at once: “…”

Su Qixi patted her chest in relief, “That’s good, that’s good.”

Lin Mo: “Huh???” No, what do you mean “that’s good”? There’s nothing lewd or violent for us to broadcast!

[Ahhhhh, how lewd and violent was it?]

[They could probably make a paid link, right? Don’t you guys want to make money?]

[Mature capitalists should know that the chives are ripe and ready to be harvested.]

[Please, production crew, look at us! We’ve been hungry for a long time, just let us see!]

Of course, the production crew also wanted to make that money, but… it would be illegal.

So, they just pretended not to see the comments.

But with this level of buzz, Feng Ye was already thrilled, and his steps were much lighter as he left Mokeju.

With only the cast members left and it being the final live broadcast, no one wanted to go back to their rooms to rest. Instead, they started chatting casually. At first, Zhuo Ziteng talked about some interesting things that had happened with the production crew recently, and Lin Mo also mentioned what she had been up to while she was away for the past few days.

Soon, Qiu Mingyi and the others discovered that Lin Mo had genuinely spent the last week dealing with her debts.

At that moment, Jiang Lun asked in disbelief, “So, you really earned ten million yuan in just one month?”

Lin Mo: “Not quite.”

“I knew it!” Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If she had, that would be too insane.

“I started preparing two months ago,” Lin Mo continued nonchalantly.

Instantly, the room fell into a heavy silence.

Qiu Mingyi thought for a moment and asked, “You earned over ten million yuan in two or three months?”

Lin Mo wore a calm expression as she explained, “I was in debt! I was in a hurry to pay it off.”

Is this just about being in a hurry to pay off debt? This is about you being able to earn money whenever you want, right?

This time, even Zhuo Ziteng was curious. “What kind of business are you in?”

Of course, Lin Mo couldn’t say she had been gambling with rich heiresses, so she could only say, “I invested in the stock market.”

“Wow~~!!” The room filled with sounds of admiration, and everyone applauded.

[Ahhhhhhh, oh my gosh! That’s incredible!]

[I can already imagine a genius girl sitting in front of a computer, her fingers flying across the keyboard.]

[Wuwuwu, I can’t imagine Lin Mo sitting in front of a computer with a poker face.]

[Maybe she’d be smiling?]

[That’s even more terrifying, now that you mention it.]

[So, what kind of skill level is earning ten million in two or three months?]

[That depends on how much capital she used. If she started with 8 or 9 million, it’s just average. If she started with 1 million, then… hehe.]

[What’s with the “hehe”?!]

[By the way, would she even have a million in capital? She hasn’t even been paid yet for An Inn With a Family.]

[The more we talk about it, the more terrifying it gets. Did she make ten million out of thin air?]

However, since Lin Mo didn’t go into detail, everyone was tactful and didn’t press for more information.

Zhuo Ziteng clapped her hands on the table and said, “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s a great thing that you were able to resolve so many issues and come back. Congratulations on being debt-free now.”

Lin Mo: “Thank you, Senior.”

Zhuo Ziteng: “You’ve been through a lot on this trip, and you still have to keep filming tonight. Do you need to go rest now?”

Lin Mo shook her head. “Thank you, Senior. I was indeed told to come back at the last minute last night, and I’m a bit tired from rushing all the way here. But it’s okay, I’ll stay here and keep Qixi company.”

This awkward transition and rather obvious display of affection.

Zhuo Ziteng: “…” Are you taking advantage of this situation?

Jiang Lun also sneered, “What’s the matter? Now that you’ve gone public, you don’t have to hide anymore?”

Su Qixi’s face flushed slightly as she looked at Lin Mo. Lin Mo gave her a reassuring glance, then turned to answer Jiang Lun’s question, “Now that we’re public, shouldn’t our path be to show affection?”

Qiu Mingyi: “???” Have some shame!

Jiang Lun: “??? Wow, is this guy provoking me???!?”

With that, Jiang Lun stood up and rolled up his sleeves, ready to lunge forward.

Lin Mo also stood up with a smile and tried to pacify Jiang Lun, “Just kidding, just kidding. I just genuinely feel that it’s better to focus on a good relationship than to waste energy on hiding it.”

Jiang Lun, who had already stopped and was walking back, froze. He heard the subtle jab and shouted, “Bring it on!”

He charged forward, but Lin Mo nimbly hopped to the other side with one hand on the table. She held back her laughter and said, “Student Jiang Lun, I didn’t say you were. Besides, is your situation even what I’m talking about?”

Jiang Lun was choked up, then he yelled again, “Why isn’t it? I’ve been secretly dating and not bothering anyone!”

Wu Qingqing broke out in a sweat: “…”

[???]

[???]

[Wait, did they go public?]

[Public my a**! They haven’t even said who the person is yet!]

[Oh my gosh, my idol is in a relationship! They’re finally in a relationship! They’re not young anymore.]

[Thank goodness it’s after they’ve lost some of their popularity. If it were when my idol was at the peak of their popularity, their Weibo would have exploded, right?]

As it turned out, Weibo still exploded. The cast members of An Inn With a Family seemed to have a bit of a misunderstanding about their own popularity. This year, Jiang Lun had regained his fame with a new drama, his on-screen couple had also become very popular, and he was now on a hit variety show.

Jiang Lun had thought that he was still only coasting on the fame he had when he first debuted. He figured, if Su Qixi, a top celebrity, dared to throw caution to the wind, why should his agency stop him from having a relationship? Was he, a man, not as good as Su Qixi?

So, provoked by Lin Mo, he also openly admitted it.

The sudden news not only topped Weibo’s trending list but also brought out many of Jiang Lun’s long-time fans from years ago.

They all sent their blessings under Jiang Lun’s Weibo post:

[Blessing Ginger to be happier and happier!]

[Ahhhhh, my youth is finally getting married.]

[Wuwuwu, Ginger, you must be happy!]

[Even though I haven’t followed Ginger’s news for many years, I still had to come and send my blessings for such a big event.]

[Ginger, stay true to your heart, and you must be happy!]

As a former top male celebrity with no scandals, Jiang Lun’s fans had gone quiet mostly because they were getting older and had careers of their own. This sudden comeback of fans actually caused Weibo to crash for a while. Fortunately, with Su Qixi’s example and it being a weekday, the staff had already prepared for a response to Jiang Lun’s sudden announcement. So, even though it crashed, it was back up and running in just a few minutes.

After speaking, Jiang Lun felt a sense of relief and thought he should have done this a long time ago.

Then, he turned his head and saw Wu Qingqing watching him with narrowed eyes. Jiang Lun immediately dropped to his knees, “I’m sorry, I forgot to ask you first.”

Wu Qingqing: “???”

Lin Mo: “…You even went and announced the person, too.”

Jiang Lun said “Ah” and then started apologizing again.

Wu Qingqing looked at him steadily for a moment, then sighed, “It’s fine, it’s not like I’ve ever denied it.”

Jiang Lun was so moved he almost cried.

[Ah? It’s… a real announcement.]

[Ahhhhhh, “Unparalleled” is scoring big points.]

[Wuwuwu, I feel the happiness of the Qilin fans. “Unparalleled” is public, I’m so happy.]

[Wuwuwu, I watched them go through this. When Jiang Lun’s studio issued the clarification notice back then, I really thought that was the end. But I never expected to see both Jiang Lun and Wu Qingqing on the cast list for An Inn With a Family. I knew then that they definitely still had a chance.]

[Me too, wuwuwu, I really didn’t expect them to actually make it to the end.]

That afternoon, because of the sudden announcement from Jiang Lun and Wu Qingqing, the other cast members on set all got excited and started talking about their own dating histories. For the first time on camera, Qiu Mingyi spoke about his feelings for Zhuo Ziteng. “Actually, I’ve liked her since before I even debuted.”

Zhuo Ziteng was stunned. Qiu Mingyi said with a smile, “We went to the same school. It might sound a bit cheesy, but I wasn’t very popular in class back then. You were the first person to talk to me, and after that, no matter what school activity was being organized, you would always include me. At that time, I thought that if I could marry you, my life would be complete.”

[Tale of a Plum and Peach is touched. Even though I was a fan after you were already married, at this moment, I suddenly feel like I’m really shipping you two.]

[What the heck, wasn’t “Tale of a Plum and Peach” created because you shipped them before?]

[There’s nothing to ship about “Tale of a Plum and Peach,” they’re an old married couple. The only time they were a little sweet was back then, but what Qiu Da said still moved me.]

Zhuo Ziteng was so shocked she didn’t know what to say. She finally stammered, “Why have I never heard you say that before?”

Qiu Mingyi thought about the situation back then and finally said, “I felt like I wasn’t worthy.”

People when they are young probably miss out on their first love for that reason.

“But it’s great now, too. After you broke up with your ex, you chose me. So I feel that there’s one thing Lin Mo said that’s true: in life, the result is everything.” Qiu Mingyi spoke of his wish finally coming true, and his heart was filled with gratitude.

Zhuo Ziteng was also touched. She reached out and tightly held Qiu Mingyi’s hand under the table. Qiu Mingyi felt her grip, and he turned his hand to hold hers tightly. He smiled at Zhuo Ziteng and said, “So, no matter what choices I’ve made, I’ve never wanted to give up on you, and I’ve always tried to make you happy.”

Zhuo Ziteng’s eyes became moist, and her tear ducts turned red. Finally, she said, “You dummy.”

[Wuwuwu, “Tale of a Plum and Peach” is also scoring big points today. I love their love, which is as calm as water but they can’t live without each other.]

[I suddenly feel that the last day is different. It seems like everything is leading to a perfect ending.]

[Yes! When the show first started, I remember when they got on the bus, Jiang Lun eagerly went to say hello to Wu Qingqing, and she replied with a fake smile. At that time, he had just released the clarification notice not long before and then followed Wu Qingqing to participate in the variety show. You know, the reputation of An Inn With a Family wasn’t good back then! But Jiang Lun still came with Wu Qingqing and didn’t try to avoid her. But at that time, Wu Qingqing was really angry. The fake smile she gave was just for the sake of filming the show.]

[Yes! When the show first started, the same was true for Qiu Da and Taozi. They came under the title of a married couple, but there was no affection at all. They were so polite to each other it was as if they were going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce the next moment.]

[Not to mention Su Su and Lin Mo. Su Su was obviously giving her the cold shoulder on the show, making it clear to the audience that they had broken up.]

[Looking back now, they all took it one step at a time to get to where they are today, and it must not have been easy.]

[Yes! It’s the last day of the live broadcast, just like the last episode of a TV series has reached a perfect ending. It feels like we have to say goodbye.]

[Wuwuwu, now that you mention it, I’m suddenly feeling sad. I feel like I could keep watching their lives like this, whether they’re running a business or not, whether it’s plain and simple. I just feel that if they can be happy forever, maybe I can be too.]

[Yes! But, we always have to say goodbye. Fortunately, the recorded version will be released soon. When it is, I’ll download it and save it properly.]

Under the fans’ farewell messages, everyone’s eyes fell on Lin Mo. Lin Mo was stunned and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to talk, it’s just that my story is really not easy to tell.”

“Actually, there’s nothing to hide,” Su Qixi said unexpectedly. “After all the commotion my father caused, the whole internet knows about his situation. When we were playing games earlier, I also said that Lin Mo took me in. Fans have already pieced the truth together from these bits and pieces. When my father refused to raise me, I was taken in by Lin Mo and brought home.”

[???]

[Ahhhhh, the CP fans’ speculation came true.]

[Wuwuwu, I never thought the bits and pieces of truth would actually be the truth. o(╥﹏╥)o]

Su Qixi remembered the day Lin Mo took her in, and the smile on her face softened. She said, “After she took me in, she often went to work outside to earn enough money for the two of us to eat. She provided for me and taught me to love myself, little by little. When did I fall in love with her? At what moment? We’ve lived together for so long that I can’t remember anymore. Maybe it was the moment she took me home, which destined it to be this way. Maybe it was the moment she stood up for me, and I started to fall for her. Or even…”

Su Qixi paused, thinking of Lin Mo’s back as she washed dishes many years ago. It was just an ordinary moment out of over a thousand days and nights.

“Maybe it was just a moment in our daily lives. Her back as she did housework, her smiling face as she left for work and told me to take care of the house, the small cakes she brought back, and even the frustration she felt when she had to get up and deal with a leaking roof on a rainy day. When the room was drafty in the winter, she held me tightly. When I finally realized it, I found that I had already fallen this deeply in love with her.” As Su Qixi spoke, the corners of her eyes slowly turned red. “I loved her so much that my heart ached little by little. I loved her so much that when I stood behind her and saw her toiling back, I told myself that I must succeed in this life, and I must, absolutely must, give Lin Mo a good life.”

From the moment she had the courage to announce her relationship with Lin Mo, Su Qixi suddenly remembered her original aspiration. Her original aspiration was set the moment she met Lin Mo and every single moment of those three years, in countless glances at Lin Mo’s back.

It was a vow no one else could hear, but Su Qixi had always told herself this. Even when Lin Mo was missing for eight years, she still didn’t dare to forget her original feelings for Lin Mo but instead kept them deep in her heart.

“So, there’s nothing that can’t be said. I should have told the whole world that Lin Mo and I are in a relationship.”

Su Qixi’s confession on the show once again sent the comments into a frenzy.

Su Qixi said loudly, “It’s just a relationship. There’s nothing to hide. I will not forget my original aspiration, and I will never let Lin Mo hide in the shadows.”

With that, Zhuo Ziteng took the lead in applauding, and the applause slowly spread to the other cast members, who all joined in.

Lin Mo, hearing the applause, smiled with her eyes, and said, “What should I do? My heart is racing, I want to kiss you.”

[Ahhhhhhh, kiss her!]

[Wuwuwu, I’m so touched.]

[They really lived together for many years.]

[Looking at it this way, Lin Mo is so great! She raised Su Su by herself for many years.]

[Su Su is really trying her best to express her love.]

[This last live episode is really worth it.]

Hearing Lin Mo’s words, Su Qixi leaned toward Lin Mo’s face. Before Lin Mo could react, she pecked her on the cheek and showed a brilliant smile, saying, “You can kiss me.”

Clap clap clap clap clap clap

Clap clap clap clap clap

Seeing this, the other cast members all applauded loudly, and even Imelda couldn’t help but join in.

Not to mention the audience watching the live broadcast. The CP fans were even moved to tears.

Zhuo Ziteng said in admiration, “Su Su is really amazing. You’re right, we are celebrities. But we are also human beings. We have emotions and desires, and we will feel insecure because we like someone. As our partners, they shouldn’t be hidden away.”

Wu Qingqing was also moved by Su Qixi’s words and couldn’t help but say, “Yes! Celebrities and their partners should also be able to go anywhere freely without being disturbed.”
