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

Jin Hua couldn't help but smile, but because Lin Xiaoruo was sitting next to her, she didn't show it too obviously.

She already knew Lin Qingran's name when she first entered this industry.

Despite having the looks to debut as an artist, she prefers public relations and planning. Although she hasn't officially debuted, she's quite well-known in the industry.

As an agent, who wouldn't want to possess the strategic and planning skills of Lin Qingran?

Lin Xiaoruo really didn't understand what tricks Lin Qingran was trying to play. Her gaze fell on Lin Qingran, and a hint of wariness flashed in her eyes.

Looking at Lin Qingran's face with its faint smile, she felt a wave of nausea.

It's as if she has her own destiny in this industry.

Lin Xiaoruo particularly disliked this feeling.

Just like when she was a child, if she left the Lin family, everything she owned would be gone.

So even though she didn't like being Lin Qingran's foil, she could only smile and stay by Lin Qingran's side.

She thought that once she grew up, she could escape all of this, but unexpectedly, her career has now fallen into Lin Qingran's hands.

"Sister, you have a lot of connections in this industry. Why don't you introduce me to a big-budget director? I heard that Director Chen An has bought the rights to 'The Secret Passage' and is planning to start filming it."

Chen An, a genius director in the industry.

Almost every drama he planned became a box office champion.

Therefore, he also has another title: "box office harvester".

The three films he previously directed all achieved considerable success.

Lin Xiaoruo's ambition is truly enormous.

With her current qualifications, Chen An probably wouldn't even give her a second glance.

A newcomer who just debuted using the name Gu Moxuan, only filmed an advertisement and entered the public eye, yet he longed to participate in director Chen An's film.

However, an artist who doesn't dream of becoming a superstar isn't a good artist.

Lin Qingran should be able to understand Lin Xiaoruo's current ambitions.

"We can arrange for you to meet sometime."

Lin Qingran spoke calmly, then handed the documents on the table to Cheng Ya, who was sitting next to her.

Cheng Ya looked at Lin Qingran with a look of astonishment and shock.

You should know that Lin Xiaoruo is the wicked woman who is trying to steal her husband.

She really couldn't understand why Lin Qingran was so generous, able to provide Lin Xiaoruo with any resources she wanted.

"Mr. Kobayashi..."

Cheng Ya called out softly, but seeing Lin Qingran's clear eyes and peaceful expression, she didn't continue speaking.

With Lin Qingran's strategic acumen, he naturally knew how to handle the situation.

She took a deep breath. Although she was dissatisfied with Lin Xiaoruo, she didn't act as excessively as before. After all, they were now in a cooperative relationship.

Cheng Ya put away the documents and said respectfully.

"Then I'll contact Director Chen's assistant first and schedule a time."

Lin Qingran nodded.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Xiaoruo kept her eyes on Lin Qingran, looking at her with a scrutinizing expression, unable to guess what Lin Qingran was thinking.

Her hands, which were placed at her sides, clenched slightly.

She disliked this feeling, the ignorance and fear about the future.

Lin Qingran sat quietly opposite her, flipping through all the plans with a serious expression.

She had no makeup on, and her lips looked somewhat pale.

But it is precisely her quiet and elegant appearance that makes her temperament something that no one can imitate.

Lin Xiaoruo gritted her teeth inwardly.

"Sister, is there any other question? If so, we'll be going now. We have an advertisement to shoot today."

She glanced at her agent as she spoke.

The agent immediately got up from the sofa and said in a low voice.

"Mr. Kobayashi..."

Lin Qingran closed the other documents, looked up, and stared at Lin Xiaoruo, her tone calm and indifferent.

"Isn't the ad shoot tomorrow morning? We still have time, let's talk about things outside of work."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ya consciously began tidying up the documents on the table, said goodbye to Lin Qingran, and then left.

Jin Hua glanced at Lin Xiaoruo, and only left awkwardly after seeing her nod.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Qingran's cold eyes remained unchanged.

Lin Xiaoruo couldn't figure out what Lin Qingran wanted to talk to her about, and she was a little confused.

"Is there anything you'd like to talk to me about, sister?"

Lin Qingran picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and didn't rush to speak. She looked calmly at her younger sister, whom she had grown up with since childhood.

When they were young, Lin Xiaoruo was well-behaved and sensible, and she was quite dependent on her. It seems that after puberty, the distance between the two of them grew further and further apart.

"I know why you came back this time."

Lin Xiaoruo frowned slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, and reached for the water glass closest to her.

Her movements were somewhat similar to Lin Qingran's. After taking a sip, she didn't put down the glass immediately, but instead placed it in the palm of her other hand.

The two men's movements were almost identical.

Lin Qingran's clear gaze fell on Lin Xiaoruo's palm.

Lin Xiaoruo looked down and was stunned.

She was unconsciously imitating Lin Qingran's movements.

She gritted her teeth inwardly, then placed the water glass on the table, a hint of unease flashing in her eyes.

"Shouldn't you have known all along why I came back? I'm just back to take everything that is rightfully mine."

“Mo Xuan has always liked me. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be following him now without any status or identity.”

Lin Qingran smiled slightly, her expression unchanged. Her thin lips curved slightly, and her eyes held a sense of calm and elegance.

"Actually, I've always wondered whether forcing you to go abroad three years ago was good for you or bad for you."

"If I hadn't told Father when I discovered your behavior three years ago, the beautiful image Gu Moxuan had of you would probably have been shattered long ago."

"If there's anything I regret in this life, it's sending you abroad three years ago."

Lin Xiaoruo frowned, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes, and did not respond to Lin Qingran's words.

She knew that Lin Qingran was cunning and ruthless.

"Those are all things of the past, we don't need to bring them up. What you want to talk to me about this time is the Lin family, right?"

"Don't worry, the Lin family adopted me and brought me back from the orphanage. I'm not an ungrateful person."

"If one day Mo Xuan chooses to divorce you and marry me, I can guarantee that I will protect the Lin family."

Lin Qingran's eyes were calm, and a faint smile played on her lips. The smile was so subtle that it was impossible to guess what was in her heart.

The air suddenly fell silent. After a dozen seconds, Lin Xiaoruo heard Lin Qingran speak softly.

"Regardless, since you have this idea, I'll thank you in advance."

Lin Xiaoru frowned, looking displeased, and suddenly stood up from the sofa, saying coldly.

"So while I still have some feelings for the Lin family, you should hurry up and give up this position. If you're too late, things might change."

After saying that, she turned and left Sixiang Garden.

As she walked out of the courtyard, she glanced back at Lin Qingran sitting in the living room.

Lin Qingran, who had been sitting on the sofa, was now in a wheelchair and looking at her from the floor-to-ceiling window.

She gritted her teeth silently, then turned and left.

If she ever gets the chance, she will definitely destroy the Lin family.
