She wanted to see the once high and mighty third young lady of the Lin family fall from grace and become a laughingstock!

So regardless of whether Lin Qingran divorces Gu Moxuan as she wishes, she will make the Lin family decline.

Anyway, she has no blood relation to the Lin family.

The Lin family has never placed her on the same level as Lin Qingran.

......

Lin Qingran quietly glanced at Lin Xiaoruo's departing figure, then heard Wang Ma's footsteps approaching, and spoke softly.

"Wang Ma, will the story of 'The Farmer and the Snake' be played out at the Lin family's house?"

Wang Ma paused for a moment. She had heard everything Lin Xiaoruo had said and was furious.

But her good habits prevented her from jumping out and giving Lin Xiaoruo a good scolding.

"Miss, you must not believe her. If you really divorce your husband, then you will have fallen into her trap."

Lin Qingran pursed her lips.

"Divorce isn't that simple. The Emperor Group was founded after Gu Moxuan and I got married. If we really divorce, half of the Emperor Group's assets will belong to me."

"After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Moxuan will not easily divorce me."

Therefore, she and Gu Moxuan are now mutually restraining each other.

She feared that Gu Moxuan would target the Lin family after the divorce, while Gu Moxuan was wary of the division of property after the divorce.

Husbands and wives are supposed to be a community of shared interests, and after these few days of calm reflection...

Lin Qingran finally understood why so many couples who no longer loved each other still chose to live together.

Faced with enormous profits, this matter seems insignificant.

Wang Ma was startled.

Lin Qingran has been intelligent since childhood, but it is truly amazing that she can think about these issues so calmly under such circumstances.

If she married Gu Moxuan for financial gain, then it's understandable that she would think about these issues.

But she married Gu Moxuan because she loved him. Wang Ma, who thought she would lose herself in the marriage, was thrilled to see her so calm.

"Fortunately, Miss has never listened to my advice to be subservient to the young master."

She's an ordinary person who only knows how to take care of others but doesn't think about the underlying principles.

It's truly remarkable that Lin Qingran, despite being influenced by her, has managed to stay true to herself.

Knowing the current situation of the Lin family, Wang Ma felt extremely guilty.

Lin Qingran smiled calmly and said.

“Actually, what Aunt Wang said isn’t entirely wrong. If I were willing to show weakness in front of Gu Moxuan like Lin Xiaoruo did, we wouldn’t be in this situation.”

Wang Ma remained silent.

Lin Qingran pushed the wheelchair around, yawned, and looked somewhat tired.

Perhaps because of her injuries, she has been unusually sleepy lately, always feeling tired shortly after waking up.

"Wang Ma, I'll go upstairs to rest first. We'll prepare lunch after Gu Moxuan comes back."

Her voice had barely faded when Gu Moxuan's cold voice came from the doorway.

What if I didn't come back?

As he spoke, he took off his custom-made leather shoes, put on slippers, and walked in.

He was dressed in a black suit, with a cold and aloof expression, and exuded a powerful aura.

Lin Qingran was stunned for a moment.

She was just saying it casually; she didn't really think Gu Moxuan would come back.

She was still somewhat surprised to see him walk into the house looking travel-worn.

The man went inside, took off his coat, and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his black shirt, revealing his well-defined chest.

Why is the heating so high inside?

He looked agitated, glanced at Lin Qingran, and his eyes revealed a hint of displeasure.

"If you feel hot, just turn it off. I'm going upstairs to rest now."

As she spoke, she pushed her wheelchair toward the elevator.

Gu Moxuan frowned and spoke coldly.

"You've only been up for a few hours? Do you really think you're being raised like a pig?"

Lin Qingran frowned, her hands on the wheelchair clenching involuntarily.

This man, the moment he came back, he made things difficult for her.

He didn't know if Lin Xiaoruo had run up to him again and said something.

She glanced at him coldly and said indifferently.

"Such opportunities are rare, so make the most of this time to get some rest."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Wang Ma quickly spoke up.

"I'll prepare lunch right away, Miss. You can rest for a while. I'll call you when lunch is ready."

Lin Qingran nodded and pushed the wheelchair upstairs.

Gu Moxuan gave Lin Qingran a cold look and spoke in a sharp voice.

"You want Xiao Ruo to act in Chen An's 'The Secret Passage'?"

Lin Qingran remained calm.

As expected, it was because of Lin Xiaoruo again.

Didn't Lin Xiaoruo herself request to participate in Chen An's movie?

She was just connecting the dots.

"If you don't want her to participate, then forget it."

It just so happens that she hasn't been able to contact Chen An yet, so canceling now wouldn't be a problem.

Gu Moxuan looked at her with his sharp eyes.

"Do you know that in Chen An's movie, the female lead has to take off her clothes?"

Lin Qingran frowned slightly. Although she had promised to introduce Lin Xiaoruo to the role, she hadn't said she would let Lin Xiaoruo play the female lead.

"Are you planning to make Xiaoruo famous overnight by stripping, only to have her become a laughing stock?"

Gu Moxuan, his face dark, strode up to her, looking down at her with intense anger in his deep eyes, as if he wanted to crush her to dust.

Lin Qingran remained silent, calmly watching him.

After a while, she smiled gently.

"I didn't say I was going to cast her as the lead."

Gu Moxuan's expression grew increasingly cold and stern. Fortunately, the heating in the room was set quite high today, otherwise, she might have frozen to death in his current state.

"You're planning to have her play supporting roles for others? Our 'Starry Sky Entertainment' has so many resources that we're actually sending her to play supporting roles for others."

He stared at her, his dark eyes filled with anger.

Seeing his angry expression, Lin Qingran didn't react much. She pushed her wheelchair into the elevator and said in a cool voice.

"If Mr. Gu feels that it's beneath her to play a supporting role, then let her give up this movie. Otherwise, I'll have to owe Chen An a favor."

The elevator doors closed, and Gu Moxuan stood there with a frown.

Seeing that his expression was not good, Wang Ma pursed her lips and said in a low voice.

“Young master, it was indeed Miss Si who expressed a desire to act in this movie, which is why our young lady asked for her.”

Gu Moxuan's face darkened. He glanced at Wang Ma and said coldly.

"Did I ask you?"

When Gu Moxuan suddenly spoke so sharply to Wang Ma, she pursed her lips and shut her mouth.

As expected, Gu Moxuan's heart was biased when it came to issues involving Lin Xiaoruo.

Wang Ma recalled Lin Qingran's indifferent expression, not uttering a single word in her defense, and felt aggrieved.

She held the towel she was using to wipe the table tightly in her hand, then looked up at Gu Moxuan.

"This matter has little to do with our young lady. She wanted to act in this movie herself. Now she's telling you, son-in-law, that it was she who asked her to act in it?"

"She was certain that the young lady wouldn't make such pointless excuses over such trivial matters."

"Young master, everyone has a heart. You have hurt our young lady time and time again for other women, just because you take advantage of our young lady's love for you!"
