Receiving the compliments, Lin Tingyue looked at Lin Xiawan, Lin Xiawan praise was much more nuanced, "This dress suits your proportions very well. How about you be the model for my dress once it's finished?"
Lin Tingyue's eyes Xingxing up instantly, and she threw herself into Lin Xiawan's arms, nuzzling against her chest.
Bai Yaxin: "..."
Why does it taste a little sour?
She's a mother, how could she be jealous of her two daughters!
"But weren't you going to dinner? Why are you all dressed up so early?"
Lin Tingyue replied to Bai Yaxin, " Mr. Ying said the pomegranates are ripe and asked if I wanted to pick them."
Bai Yaxin's smile froze. Who knows, maybe some watermelons or apples will ripen in the future.
Bai Yaxin to herself, "Our family also has an orchard."
Lin Tingyue belatedly realized, "Oh, right."
She took out her phone. "Then I'll ask Mr. Ying to come over."
Bai Yaxin: "!"
Is that what she meant?
In the end Ying An didn't go anywhere. He had just accepted a last-minute job and felt extremely embarrassed about breaking his promise, so he asked Lin Tingyue if she wanted to come over.
It just so happened that Lin Shengyan's film crew was also nearby, so Lin Tingyue thought she could visit her second brother on set while she was there.
[My second brother would be so touched if he knew!]
Whether he was touched or not, Lin Shengyan sneezed three times in a row on set. His assistant insisted that he had caught a cold and made him drink a bottle of cold medicine.
Lin Shengyan: "..."
Bai Yaxin and Lin Xiawan had things to do afterward, but Bai Yaxin prepared a lot of things for Lin Shengyan and asked Lin Tingyue Lin Shengyan to take them to him, including cold medicine granules.
Lin Shengyan probably speechless again.
When Lin Tingyue arrived, Ying An personally came to pick her up.
Seeing Ying An's ancient costume appearance, Lin Tingyue's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "So handsome!"
Ying An paused, then said, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Lin."
Lin Tingyue straightened her back and said, "I'm telling the truth."
"Hmm." Ying An smiled slightly.
He gave Lin Tingyue a staff badge and led Lin Tingyue inside.
Ying An's agent must be furious! What's wrong with this big-name actor? Has he suddenly blossomed again? Doesn't he care about rumors?!
Just as Muxin was about to go over and remind Ying An, someone suddenly knelt down in front of her.
Muxin: "?"
Before she could even speak, the man kowtowed several times, pleading, " Xinxin, please, he's still your biological father."
Now Muxin knew who it was.
Chapter 82
Muxin was pale, but his attitude remained firm. "Keep dreaming, I won't give him a single penny!"
When Muxin said this, many people in the studio were stunned.
Muxin is considered a top-notch agent; every artist under her management is incredibly popular, it's just a matter of who's more popular.
There was a lot of dissatisfaction in the industry before, with people thinking that it was all just good luck, but after they met Muxin, they will completely dispel such thoughts.
There's nothing else to it but that Muxin is too good at interpersonal relationships. She's incredibly tactful and diplomatic. Even people who deliberately dislike her can't find a single fault with her way of doing things.
So, for such a person to utter such blunt words has given everyone quite a shock.
The man was still kowtowing when Muxin was trembling with anger. She had no idea what she had just said; she only felt an instinctive sense of disgust.
She stared intently at the woman, racking her brains but unable to understand how this woman had the audacity to come begging to her.
Seeing that Muxin still wouldn't budge even after she'd gone this far, the woman gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, since you're so heartless, don't blame me for making a scene. You'd better think carefully about the consequences; it wasn't easy for you to get to where you are now."
Was this a threat? Muxin clenched her fists. "Go ahead and cause trouble if you dare."
Ying An walked to Muxin's side and said worriedly, " Sister Muxin, should I..."
Muxin replied, "This is my private matter; you don't need to get involved."
If Ying An gets involved, he'll be dragged into it as well.
She'll see what this mistress is all about today.
"Everyone saw it, right? Muxin doesn't even care about her own biological father. Why does the company still hire such a cold-blooded person???"
The woman who had been kneeling on the ground straightened up, raised her phone, and pointed the camera at Muxin's face. The comments in the live stream chat rolled by one after another.
[What??? Is she really that kind of person?]
[No, no, my bag is still in her hands.]
[This is the first time I've seen a manager's career collapse; I was both angry and amused.]
[Even her own father doesn't care; having a daughter like that is worse than having a piece of barbecued pork.]
[It's just the host speaking now, so don't jump to conclusions.]
[Even the anchor knelt down before her, and there are still rational people???]
Ying An's assistant rolled her eyes. What's wrong with kneeling? They immediately started with moral blackmail, and these people even defended her. It really infuriated her.
The assistant left the live stream and discovered that it was originally a live stream where no one was listed, but the platform had somehow promoted it because it featured Ying An's name, and now the live stream was featured on the homepage.
More people are pouring in.
The assistant showed Ying An the live stream, Ying An said in a deep voice, "Have someone contact the platform first."
They all knew Muxin's character well, and they definitely trusted Muxin.
The assistant replied, "Okay."
After contacting the person, the assistant, still angry, went back into the live stream and couldn't help but comment.
[ Muxin is not like that at all! Don't just parrot what others say.]
Unfortunately, aside from receiving a few insults, her post was quickly drowned out by other comments.
The assistant continued posting, "[This person is just Muxin's stepmother.]"
[What's wrong with a stepmother? Isn't a stepmother a mother?]
[That dad isn't a stepfather anymore, is he? Why doesn't he care?]
The assistant was furious, but Muxin wouldn't let them interfere. There were also many people in the studio watching the live stream, and suddenly, malicious, amused, and indifferent glances fell on Muxin, intentionally or unintentionally.
[She's more than just a stepmother; she's a mistress who took her place.]
Huh? A twist?
When everyone checked the live stream, they found it wasn't there at all. How could someone have directly reversed their thoughts?!
[Back when Muxin's mother was pregnant with Muxin Muxin, his father cheated on her. The mistress, heavily pregnant, deliberately flaunted herself in front of Muxin's Muxin, which angered her so much that she went into premature labor.]
[After giving birth to Muxin, Muxin's mother was already physically weak, and was further abused by the mistress, intentionally or unintentionally. Ultimately Muxin's mother developed severe depression and committed suicide by jumping off a building when Muxin was ten years old.]
[ Muxin's mother had only been gone for a month when her father married his mistress. The mistress treated Muxin badly, often cutting back on Muxin tuition and meal expenses. After Muxin immediately severed ties with that family and her father.]
[If he weren't sick, I doubt even this awful father would remember his daughter.]
Even after hearing all this, some people are still silently sympathizing with the father who never showed up from beginning to end.
"Even so, it's all that mistress's fault."
"Little sister, don't you have a happy and fulfilling family life? If it weren't for Dad's tacit approval, would that mistress be so brazen?"
[Actually, his father deserves to be in this situation.]
[He consistently tolerated his mistress bullying Muxin, treating Muxin like dirt while treasuring the son born to his mistress. In the end, the son gambled away all his medical expenses.]
Ying An had his assistant investigate the son. After obtaining the information, they quickly collaborated with the platform to release all the data.
A copy of the live stream platform information and a copy of Ying An's Weibo were provided, and the matter was resolved swiftly. The woman was also taken away by the security guards here.
Muxin seemed to have lost all her strength. She staggered, and her assistant quickly supported her. Lin Tingyue also lent a hand.
The two men helped her to a corner so that Muxin could sit and rest.
"Sister," the assistant said, unscrewing the mineral water bottle, "Drink some water first. Everything's alright now, it's all over."
Muxin nodded, her face pale, and took a sip of water. Her eyes were vacant as she murmured, "I thought I had long since escaped that shadow, but I never expected..."
Those shadows were only temporarily dormant; they would resurface when those people appeared before Muxin.
Muxin was somewhat frustrated; she wasn't as strong as she had imagined.
You've done a great job.
Muxin looked over--
Lin Tingyue squatted down beside Muxin Muxin, her two beautiful eyes fixed on him. Being looked at by those eyes made her feel as if she were shining in them.
"Yes, sis," the assistant quickly chimed in.
Lin Tingyue continued, "You actually already had a solution prepared. You were just temporarily blocked. After overcoming the blockage, you will surely usher in a smooth road ahead."
The assistant, clinging to Muxin's arm, nodded. "Yeah, sis, you're so cool."
Muxin's eyes welled up with tears, but once she stood up, she was the top agent again.
The vulnerability from before was gone. Muxin's gaze sharpened. She walked to the side, made several phone calls, and then stayed in the studio to finish filming Ying An's scenes before leaving.
While Ying An was taking the photos, Lin Tingyue watched from the side. After Ying An finished, she walked over to Ying An and praised, "Those photos are definitely going to be a hit."
Ying An smiled and said, "Then I'll take Miss Lin's good wishes."
Lin Tingyue looked up, smiling broadly.
"Once I change my clothes, I can go find your second brother."
"Good."
After changing his clothes, Ying An said goodbye to his assistant and then accompanied Lin Tingyue over.
Lin Tingyue was carrying things for Lin Shengyan, Ying An took them from her.
