"In a few days, it will be the Crown Prince's 22nd birthday. In the past, his birthdays were quietly celebrated, but this year is different. This year, the Ji family's elder has spoken, deciding to throw a grand banquet, inviting all similarly aged, unmarried youngsters with whom they have friendships or business dealings. It's just five days away. Consider these next couple of days what gift to prepare," Rong Yinian said.
Mu Wanqing curled her lips. "It's said to be a birthday celebration, but everyone knows it's about finding a granddaughter-in-law. Although the Crown Prince is handsome and capable, he's definitely not easy to get along with, and besides, his constitution is too weak. We Yunyun won't join this commotion."
"I'm afraid that won't work," Old Master Rong grimaced like a bitter gourd. "I've bragged to the Ji family's old man that my granddaughter has been found. He told me last night to let my precious granddaughter attend this banquet. I really can't wriggle out of it."
Mu Wanqing: …
"No worries," Mu Lingyun suddenly spoke up, "I'm actually quite curious about this Crown Prince, so let me go and check him out."
Mu Wanqing and Rong Yinian exchanged a glance, then Mu Wanqing spoke, "Yunyun, if you're curious, then let's go have a look. But although this Crown Prince is good-looking and both his demeanor and bearing are top-notch, his temper and personality really aren't up to par, and neither is his health. Who knows what might happen one of these days... Just look, that's enough, but don't get any other ideas, okay?"
Mu Lingyun slightly raised her eyebrows; she understood Mrs. Mu's intentions. She was pre-emptively cautioning her in case she fell for Ji Luochen on sight.
How outstanding must one's looks be to make Mrs. Mu so worried?
Could it rival Ji Luochen from Another World?
"Yunyun, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Mu Lingyun lost in thought, Mrs. Mu asked her.
Upon hearing this, Mu Lingyun quickly said, "I understand, don't worry. I am not that type to judge a book by its cover... ahem, I am not that type who cares solely about appearances."
"Haha." Everyone was amused by her slip of the tongue.
After breakfast, Mu Lingyun returned to school, as she had classes in both the morning and afternoon.
After morning classes, she and her roommate headed to the cafeteria.
"Yunyun, have you checked Weibo?" Suddenly, Mo Qian called out to Mu Lingyun.
"Is there some big news?" Mu Lingyun hadn't checked Weibo, so she turned around to ask.
"'Thousand Faces' has changed its leading lady," Mo Qian said.
Mu Lingyun was unexcited. 'Thousand Faces,' despite having stirred up so much trouble, still had to continue filming, right?
So, its change of leading lady was hardly shocking.
"You definitely wouldn't have guessed, but we know the new leading lady!" Mo Qian continued.
"Who is it?" Mu Lingyun didn't speak, instead, Qin Shuangshuang arched an eyebrow and asked.
"It's Senior Wei Ruolan!" Mo Qian replied.
At the Beijing Film Academy, Wei Ruolan was quite famous; everyone knew her because she was beautiful, came from a good background, and was especially gentle.
Mu Lingyun frowned slightly, then with a half-smile, said, "I thought some celestial being was behind Han Ming targeting me, turns out it was her."
Originally, she couldn't figure out why Han Ming would target her.
But the sudden emergence of Wei Ruolan clarified that for her.
It seems Han Ming is also quite passionate, probably acting against her on Wei Ruolan's behalf.
