Lin Qingqing forced a smile, revealing a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

She recognized those smug eyes; after all, she had just seen them that morning—Chen Zhonglun, who insisted on giving her an autographed photo.

Isn't Jiang City supposed to be a bustling metropolis like in the book? Why does Jiang City feel so small? She can even run into people she doesn't want to see twice in one day.

Lin Qingqing explained casually, "I didn't follow you."

Chen Zhonglun chuckled. In the morning, he thought he had misunderstood her as his fan, but then he ran into her again in the afternoon.

This is his favorite streetwear brand, as his fans know. He came today because the new items he had ordered had arrived. They could have delivered them to his door, but he was in a good mood today, so he came to pick them up in person.

Who knew that when I got there, I would run into that pretty girl who claimed she wasn't a fan.

What a coincidence.

He would find it hard to believe that they didn't obtain his schedule from somewhere and deliberately waited for him at two different locations.

Chen Zhonglun put his sunglasses back on, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was hidden by his mask: "Oh, I misunderstood."

As he spoke, Chen Zhonglun glanced around the store and continued, "Since we're so lucky to have met, do you have any styles you like? I happen to be here, and I'm a member, so I can give you a discount."

Anyone interested? Once she saw Chen Zhonglun, she lost all interest in continuing her shopping.

Lin Qingqing's eyes showed a hint of disdain.

She didn't really want this kind of relationship.

"If you don't see anything you like, you can keep browsing." Lin Qingqing said and turned to leave.

Chen Zhonglun slid his sunglasses down a little, his gaze sweeping over the top of the sunglasses as he looked at Lin Qingqing's back, which showed no sign of lingering. A playful smile appeared on his lips.

It's really interesting. In the morning, I deliberately squeezed in front of him and said I didn't want an autograph and wasn't a fan. In the afternoon, I showed up at the store he frequents, but left without buying anything.

What kind of trick is this?

Chen Zhonglun watched the girl leave with great interest, and suddenly felt a faint anticipation for where she would create another chance encounter next.

……

Lin Qingqing pouted as she walked out of the trendy store. Next time she goes out, she'll definitely check the almanac first.

But her trip today wasn't entirely fruitless; at least she had a good chance of successfully stopping her grandson from licking the female lead again, thus changing his fate.

Thinking about it this way, today was actually not bad.

Lin Qingqing quickly adjusted her mood and went to several brand stores to shop extensively.

Enter, take out your card, take out all the items from this row and that row, leave your address, and use the delivery service.

After visiting several stores, Lin Qingqing was practically ecstatic.

It was the first time she had ever experienced the feeling of shopping without having to check her balance or the price, buying whatever she wanted without any worries—it was so great!

If I could live like this in my next life, I would be willing to marry eight handsome men!

Lin Qingqing walked out of the mall, thought for a moment, and asked the system, "If I go back to when I'm eighteen, will my age stay at eighteen forever? Or will I age normally like a normal person?"

The system did not answer her.

This was the first time the system hadn't replied to her immediately, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Was the system going to leave her and leave her alone in the book?

Although the life in the book is very happy, it is not reality after all. Who knows if there will be any plot holes that would put her in danger without the system's help?

With the system around, at least she could feel a little more at ease.

Although this system doesn't usually offer much help.

But it was the thing that understood her best in this strange world, and she had gradually become accustomed to its existence.

After a moment, Lin Qingqing spoke again: "Hello? System? Are you still there?"

[System: ...binding error, signal error...binding error...signal error...]

A crackling sound of electricity mixed with intermittent mechanical noise entered Lin Qingqing's mind, and Lin Qingqing immediately stood still, stunned.

"Binding error? What binding error?"

After Lin Qingqing finished speaking, she suddenly realized something and guessed in shock, "Don't tell me you bound yourself to the wrong host?"

If it's true... then everything she has now will be taken back, right?

She's only just become young again, only just experienced the joy of being the richest woman, and her good children and grandchildren are still waiting for her to save them!

damned!

Are transmigration systems really this unreliable these days? How could they cause such a huge blunder?

Lin Qingqing waited anxiously for the system to reply, but the system remained unresponsive.

Lin Qingqing, who had just enjoyed half a day of happiness, suddenly lost the mood to continue her carefree days. She sat in the center of the square for most of the day, feeling uneasy.

Her system seemed to have vanished suddenly; no matter how she called, there was no response.

Lin Qingqing, who had been silent all afternoon, looked up at the sky. She had waited all afternoon but had not been able to return to her original world. Did this mean that the system realized the binding error and left, leaving her behind?

Now that she's stayed, she'll make the most of her life as the richest woman. However... her biggest worry right now is her appearance. The system binding error means the rewards she received might be taken back.

Will she turn back into an eighty-year-old woman overnight, lying back in the hospital waiting for death?

Lin Qingqing felt a little worried.

If that really happens... then she might as well enjoy each day as it comes. After all, everyone dies eventually. She's transmigrated and finally become the richest person in the world, so she has to make the most of every penny she has now. That way, her transmigration won't have been in vain.

After seeing things clearly, Lin Qingqing felt that her life goal became clear again. As long as she lived, she would save her whole family from their villainous fate, keep her position as the richest woman, and live happily every day!

Then Lin Qingqing went to a nearby bar to find some fun.

……

Upstairs in the bar is a VIP area with a great view. In front of a half-height glass wall, two men lean against the wall, watching the crowd on the dance floor below.

Chen Zhonglun took off his mask, sunglasses, and hat, and looked at Lu Zeyan beside him: "What good thing did you call me here for?"

Lu Zeyan's lips curled slightly: "Old Mrs. Qin is dying."

Chen Zhonglun clapped and cheered.

This is indeed a good thing. On the surface, the Qin family and the Chen family have a harmonious relationship, but in reality, since Old Master Qin passed away, their relationship has not been as good as it seems.

After all, there are no permanent friends in the business world.

The Qin family is so wealthy that other families have been eager to make their move since Old Master Qin died.

The Qin family has many descendants, and large families like this are all ambitious.

If the old lady were to pass away again, and the distribution of the inheritance were unfair, it would be a good opportunity for them to take advantage of the internal strife within the Qin family and get a share of the spoils.

Chen Zhonglun: "When will she die? So I can attend her funeral. I haven't seen that old lady for many years. My dad told me that she held me when I was little."
