After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

The flight attendants were not surprised by Lin Mengchuan's demands.

She told Lin Mengchuan to wait where he was and then turned to report the matter to the flight attendant.

After a while, the flight attendant came over and asked, "Which passenger wants to change seats?"

Lin Mengchuan raised his hand, "It's me."

The flight attendant gave a sweet, professional smile. "Sir, I'm very sorry, but we've asked the first-class passengers and none of them are willing to switch seats with you. The plane is about to take off, so please go to your seat."

Lin Mengchuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the flight attendant to find his seat.

It turned out that the person in the same row as them was an elderly woman.

The old lady had some kind of plaster on her body, and it had a very strong smell.

Lin Mengchuan really wanted to get off the plane, but when he thought about the purpose of his trip, he had no choice but to force himself to sit down despite feeling nauseous.

After sitting for three hours, we flew to Licheng.

He never wants to walk into economy class again in his life.

After catching up on their sleep, Qiao Ran and Qi Muci woke up to find it was already dark outside, and their stomachs were rumbling in protest.

She took her phone and sent a message in the group chat asking Ding Ding and Zhao Mengmeng if they wanted to go out for a walk.

First, fill your stomach, then you can browse and buy some daily necessities and fruit.

Ding Ding and Zhao Mengmeng both immediately replied that they agreed.

Qiao Ran asked Qi Muci to call Fu Chao and Yuan Xiaoxiao, and they agreed to meet in the hotel lobby on the first floor in five minutes.

When the appointed time arrived, she and Qi Muci went downstairs to the hotel lobby and saw that the others had already arrived.

The group left the hotel, turned right, and strolled slowly along the street.

I saw many familiar faces along the way.

Apart from Yuan Xiaoxiao, everyone else was used to it.

This is a film and television city. Apart from those who run shops and do business, the rest are either actors or crew members.

It wouldn't be surprising to see even A-list celebrities.

Yuan Xiaoxiao was very excited and followed Fu Chao around, asking from time to time, "Is that so-and-so?"

She was basically right about everything.

Fu Chao teased Yuan Xiaoxiao, "Did you not study hard in college? Did you just focus on chasing celebrities?"

Yuan Xiaoxiao smiled sheepishly, "You guessed it. My roommate said that if I want to be a manager, I need to get to know more artists first, so I don't make a fool of myself later."

Ding Ding put her hand on Yuan Xiaoxiao's shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, if you want to be an agent, then following your Brother Chao is the right thing to do. He is now practically Brother Qi's half agent. Observe how he does things."

Yuan Xiaoxiao nodded earnestly, "Thank you, Sister Dingding. I want to learn more from you and Brother Chao."

Ding Ding: "The first and most important thing is that you need to learn to read people's expressions. For example, if we are looking for a restaurant now, you need to pay attention to which restaurant Brother Qi and Sister Qiao want to go into."

Yuan Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, "Okay, I understand."

Zhao Mengmeng couldn't help but laugh, "Don't listen to Ding Ding's nonsense, she's just teasing you."

Yuan Xiaoxiao opened her mouth.

Dingding burst into laughter, "The little girl is so cute."

Everyone chatted and laughed along the way, and after walking for about ten minutes, they chose a restaurant to go in for a meal.

Because filming would begin in two weeks, Qi Muci, Qiao Ran, and Zhao Mengmeng didn't eat much.

Most of the dishes were eaten by Fu Chao, Ding Ding, and Yuan Xiaoxiao.

Yuan Xiaoxiao said she now understands that actors are so thin because they starve themselves.

After dinner, everyone left the restaurant and continued shopping for a while before finding a supermarket to do some groceries.

When they returned to the hotel lobby, they happened to see Lin Mengchuan and Xu Qing arguing with the lobby manager.

The lobby manager said the hotel had been booked by the film crew and they wouldn't accept guests other than the film crew, but Lin Mengchuan insisted on staying there.

The moment Qiao Ran saw Lin Mengchuan, she felt as if she had a fly stuffed in her mouth—utterly disgusting.

Upon seeing Qiao Ran and her group, Lin Mengchuan abandoned Xu Qing and walked towards them.

As they walked, she greeted Qi Muci: "Cousin, what a coincidence, you live here too."

Qi Muci really didn't expect Lin Mengchuan to follow him here. It seems this guy won't admit defeat until he's faced with a death sentence.

He turned to Qiao Ran and said, "You guys go upstairs and rest first."

Qiao Ran nodded and called the ladies upstairs together.

Lin Mengchuan's gaze followed Qiao Ran. "Qiao Ran, I have something to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Ran quickened her pace.

Lin Mengchuan wanted to chase after him, but Qi Muci grabbed him, saying, "Come on, let's go get a cup of coffee."

As soon as they entered the elevator, Zhao Mengmeng cursed, "Is Lin Mengchuan crazy? What does he want? Why did he follow us here? Is he trying to cause trouble? How can someone be so crazy?"

Ding Ding was also furious, gritting her teeth. "He's sick in the head. He can't stand to see Ranran doing well. He probably thought Ranran would be miserable after the divorce, but he didn't expect her to get better and better after the divorce."

"He felt resentful and wanted to cause trouble for Ranran, making things difficult for her."

Zhao Mengmeng also thought so, "Luckily, Brother Qi is here. I hope Brother Qi can drive this lunatic away."

Qiao Ran remained silent the entire way, pondering what Lin Mengchuan's true purpose was.

She didn't believe Lin Mengchuan did this because he liked her.

A man like Lin Mengchuan would never truly love someone; he is arrogant, conceited, and selfish.

At this moment, downstairs.

Qi Muci and Lin Mengchuan sat down in a corner of the coffee shop, their faces tense. "Tell me, what exactly do you want by following me here?"

Lin Mengchuan shrugged. "Cousin, are you Qiao Ran's spokesperson now? Even though we're relatives, you don't have the right to interrogate me like a criminal, do you?"

"Have I done something heinous?"

Qi Muci stared at Lin Mengchuan and asked coldly, "You still haven't given up, have you?"

Lin Mengchuan pursed his lips, raised his chin, and replied, "That's right, I'm still not giving up, and I believe Qiao Ran still has feelings for me. To put it simply, she wanted me to be here, which is why I'm here."

A mocking smile appeared on Qi Muci's lips. "Lin Mengchuan, where does your confidence come from?"

Lin Mengchuan said smugly, "Cousin, you've never been married, so of course you don't understand. You don't know that women are all stubborn. Once they've decided on a man, they won't easily change their minds."

"She waited for me at my house for two years, and that's the best proof."

Lin Mengchuan's eyes darted away during his last sentence, clearly indicating a lack of confidence.

But he deliberately said it in front of Qi Muci.

Lin Mengchuan paused for a moment, then continued, "Cousin, I know you like Qiao Ran, but I have to remind you, Qiao Ran already has feelings for me, and she will not accept you."

“We’re relatives, so I’m telling you the truth: you shouldn’t fall in love with her. Otherwise, if Qiao Ran comes back to me, you’ll be the one who gets hurt. I don’t want you to get hurt.”

Qi Muci was so angry at Lin Mengchuan's arrogance that he laughed. "Lin Mengchuan, not only do you have problems with your eyes, but you also have problems with your brain. I suggest you go back to Beijing and get an appointment with a specialist at the hospital."

Lin Mengchuan became serious, "You don't believe what I'm saying? Fine, then I'll prove it to you. Qiao Ran will definitely remarry me, and her mother and brother also hope we remarry."
