The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

In the northern part of the city, no one has ever dared to compete with Gu Moxuan for someone.

Among the people in Beicheng, Shen Huai, the only one who posed a slight threat, also became much more distant from Lin Qingran after she gave birth to her child.

Right now, Gu Moxuan's biggest competitor is Huo Ye.

Huo Ye is not from City A, and over the years, he has only had one rumored girlfriend, Lin Qingran.

Since Lin Qingran divorced him, there has been a lot of speculation that Lin Qingran and Huo Ye might get married.

In addition, Huo Ye has a refined and elegant demeanor, while Lin Qingran is a noble and aloof beauty, so the two of them standing together look exceptionally harmonious and well-matched.

Most importantly, Huo Ye didn't care whether Lin Qingran had children or not.

This is what troubles Gu Moxuan the most.

Gu Moxuan had seen how good Huo Ye was to Lin Jinjin.

An amusement park was built for Lin Jinjin in Beicheng, and a fairy tale world was created for her in City A.

Huo Ye not only spent lavishly on pursuing Lin Qingran, but also displayed astonishing patience.

Gu Moxuan felt threatened whenever he saw Huo Ye appear next to Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran listened quietly to the wife of the Nancheng Group speaking, her eyes serious.

After the wife of the Nancheng Group explained her desired dress, she noticed that Gu Moxuan's gaze was still fixed on Lin Qingran, and then spoke softly.

"Miss Lin is so lucky."

Being gazed at intently by a man—if one wasn't deeply in love, how could one possibly lose focus while staring at her in such a setting?

Lin Qingran paused for a moment, looking at the wife of Nancheng Group with some confusion, and then looked in her direction.

She saw Gu Moxuan, who had just left, standing not far away watching her, his eyes deep and unfathomable, lost in thought.

Lin Qingran pursed her red lips, calmly withdrew her gaze, her eyes light and natural, and spoke slowly.

"Thank you for your blessings, madam."

She spoke softly, then calmly began to speak.

“I have noted down my wife’s requirements. Once I have the design drawings, I will give them to her as soon as possible.”

The wife of the Nancheng Group nodded, then looked at Ms. Chen sitting to the side and said softly.

"Ms. Chen is truly blessed. Not only is her son so outstanding, but her daughter-in-law is also so excellent. It's clear that Ms. Chen has done a great job raising her."

Ms. Chen's face was beaming with smiles.

As expected, her decision to invite Lin Qingran to her birthday party was absolutely correct.

If it were Lu Xueqi, there would be no way to give her such a boost of prestige.

"Mrs. Nan, you flatter me."

Lin Qingran found a moment to say goodbye to the wife of the Nancheng Group, and then returned to her seat.

When she returned, Lu Xueqi was no longer in the same spot.

Lin Qingran turned her head and looked around the banquet hall. She saw Lu Xueqi and Shen Huai chatting and laughing with a director, clearly having reached some kind of agreement.

Lin Qingran frowned slightly, her eyes cold.

Shen Huai...

Lu Xueqi...

All of this was too much of a coincidence, which inevitably made Lin Qingran wonder if they had joined forces to do something.

Seeing that Lin Qingran's gaze was fixed on Lu Xueqi, Sheng Xia switched places with Lin Hao and sat down next to Lin Qingran, asking softly.

"What's wrong? You seem to be paying a little too much attention to them today."

Lin Qingran pursed her red lips, withdrew her gaze, and squeezed out a faint smile as she spoke softly.

"is it?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Gong Juncheng.

Gong Juncheng's expression became even more gloomy and unpleasant because Lin Hao and Sheng Xia had switched seats, and the person sitting next to him had changed from Sheng Xia to Lin Hao.

She casually withdrew her gaze and made a nonchalant remark.

"Shen Huai told me that he brought me a gift from Lia. I'm a little curious about what it is."

As expected, Gong Juncheng's expression changed slightly upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, and his previously cold and indifferent eyes immediately fell on Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran raised her eyes and met Gong Juncheng's gaze, her eyes calm and elegant.

Lia.

Sure enough, the next second, Gong Juncheng immediately got up from his seat and walked towards Gu Moxuan.

Gong Juncheng walked over to Gu Moxuan, the two exchanged a few words, and then Gong Juncheng and Gu Moxuan left the living room.

Lin Qingran sat quietly in her chair. Sheng Xia glanced at Gong Juncheng, frowned slightly, and looked at Lin Qingran with a puzzled expression.

"what happened to him?"

Lin Qingran smiled, shook her head gently, and said softly.

"There might be some temporary problem."

Gong Juncheng and Gu Moxuan have extensive influence, so letting them conduct the investigation will prevent her from alerting them.

As Lin Qingran spoke, she glanced at the location where Shen Huai and Lu Xueqi were, but only gave them a brief look before looking away.

In just over ten minutes, Lu Xueqi returned to the same spot.

Seeing that Lin Qingran had also returned to her original position, Lu Xueqi smiled faintly and said softly.

"Have Miss Lin and Mrs. Nan reached an agreement?"

Lin Qingran nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Lu Xueqi. Seeing her bright smile and seemingly happy appearance, she calmly withdrew her gaze without asking any questions.

She knew that Lu Xueqi, with her personality, would eventually be unable to hold back and would speak up herself.

So even without her asking, she could get the information from Lu Xueqi.

"Today is a good day for us all. I just happened to close a deal. I'll be joining the film crew next month."

She said softly.

"I'm not as clever as Miss Lin, who knows how to win over your aunt. To prove myself, I can only go to the film crew first and make myself worth something."

She spoke softly, her face full of helplessness.

“Miss Lin, Mo Xuan and I were originally going to announce our engagement here today, but my mother objected.”

"I would like to ask Miss Lin, how can I make your aunt like me?"

Lin Qingran raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Although Lu Xueqi's face was full of sincerity when she said these words, anyone who didn't know the situation would think that she was genuinely asking for guidance.

Those who knew the situation could clearly hear the sarcasm in Lu Xueqi's words.

After Lu Xueqi finished speaking, Sheng Xia looked at Lu Xueqi with a mocking expression, her eyes full of contempt.

"Miss Lu, I noticed you were quite good at winning over Ms. Chen, weren't you? When Ms. Chen first returned to the country, you two went shopping together. Why are you now asking Qingran for advice?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi's expression stiffened slightly, then she lowered her head and said dejectedly.

"It's probably because I'm no longer of any value. After all, I've lost both my legs and am useless now. Unlike Miss Lin, who can still move freely among people and build connections for Mo Xuan."

Lin Qingran raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on Lu Xueqi. She scanned her from top to bottom, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

"Miss Lu, don't you find this annoying? How many times have you brought up this topic in front of us?"

"You can morally blackmail Gu Moxuan, but you can't blackmail others."

"You've already put yourself in the position of the weak, so why force yourself to fit into our circle?"

Are you trying to tell outsiders that we look down on you because you've become like this?

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi's expression changed, and she immediately offered an explanation.

"Miss Lin, that's not what I meant."

Lin Qingran's thin lips curled slightly, and he looked at Lu Xueqi with cold eyes, speaking indifferently.

“Miss Lu, if it’s about playing the victim, I have many ways, even ways that are more pitiful than yours. I’m not a man. It might work for you to say these things in front of Gu Moxuan, but it won’t work for me.”

"This was your own choice, wasn't it?"

"You've already gotten what you wanted, and now you want the whole world to revolve around you? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."

Lu Xueqi's face was a little pale. Her little thoughts had been so bluntly exposed by Lin Qingran, making her feel ashamed.

Her hands, resting on the wheelchair, clenched slightly before relaxing, her eyes calm and collected.

"Miss Lin is right. I didn't understand my own position. Now I will try to understand my position better."

"I hope Miss Lin will not use Lin Jinjin as an excuse to get close to my fiancé in the future."
