I Really Didn’t Want to Increase My Favorability! - Chapter 220

After that, the two of them didn’t feel awkward anymore and instead began chatting about some gossip in the entertainment industry.

But as they talked, Liu Qinnuan felt like she had stumbled upon something. Chu Qingchan had been asking a lot about the music industry.

Could it be that she wanted to venture into the music industry? Even though these days, the music industry seemed to have all sorts of people, some really lacked the necessary skills and were barely better than amateurs.

But at least they could sing. Yet Liu Qinnuan had never heard Chu Qingchan sing a single note, not in TV dramas nor in any shows.

If she’s not planning to sing herself, maybe someone she knows is aiming to become a singer?

In January, there’s a huge music talent show, the one that big companies and TV stations are collaborating on.

“Do you have a friend planning to participate in that Hua Yin show in January?”

“Maybe, that’s why I wanted to ask you, someone inside the industry.”

“You’ve only been away for a short time, I’m just a small actress.”

“Your company behind you isn’t small though. Won’t they be sending someone over?”

“That’s true, but I’m not sure how many. But Tang Meiren (Tang Jiani) is definitely going.”

“Oh… Tang Jiani~”

Hearing that name, Chu Qingchan couldn’t help feeling irritated. If she was once dubbed the Queen of B-list movies before leaving the industry, this woman was now considered the Princess of A-list movies.

They were often compared, with people saying, “Chu Qingchan might be prettier, but our Jiani is no slouch either. She acts well and sings well.”

“Why would she come to sing when she’s doing so well in movies?”

“That’s the company’s decision, and her personal choice. I don’t know the specifics. Even if I did, I couldn’t say, right?”

“Well, we’ll see when the time comes.”

Despite practicing for so many days, praised daily by Teacher Guan, Chu Qingchan still felt uncertain.

Without facing others directly, she wouldn’t know her true capabilities.

She was in this competition to gauge herself, to see where she stood, but she was also nervous.

Ten minutes later, the taxi arrived outside the villa. Chu Qingchan didn’t ask the driver to use the meter; she handed him the agreed-upon 50 yuan directly.

The driver unloaded the luggage, which Liu Qinnuan took from him and thanked him.

The two security guards didn’t stop them this time because they had just asked the property guy who had come over earlier.

They had been told these people were here to buy a villa, so they immediately understood, “Damn, these are the owners!”

Inside the compound, Liu Qinnuan glanced around and thought the environment was quite nice.

“How is it?”

“It’s good. Not a new villa, but the surroundings are nice. Cleanliness-wise, even the residential areas in my hometown aren’t this well-maintained.”

They entered villa number 12, and once again, Liu Qinnuan marveled at the courtyard design, which was even more beautiful than the villa they had used for filming last time.

Seeing her expression, Chu Qingchan thought to herself, ‘Once you step inside, you won’t feel the same.’

As they stepped into the house, Liu Qinnuan immediately froze in place, unable to help but exclaim, “What is this?”

“Let’s go upstairs.”

“Oh… this decor, I can’t quite handle it.”

“That’s why I’m still considering whether to buy it, because it’ll need a major renovation.”

Upstairs, Xu Lin and Chu Fengyi immediately sensed movement. Ji Yun and Qin Yunhe also quickly reacted.

Only Su Qingwan, upon seeing Chu Qingchan leading another girl upstairs, turned her head.

Seeing Su Qingwan and the others surrounding Xu Lin, Liu Qinnuan was momentarily stunned.

What’s going on here? The beauty harem?

Although she wasn’t conceited, everyone always called her “Little Fairy” or “Fairy Sister.” She didn’t think she was ugly either. Moreover, she believed she still had room to grow. But at this moment, she felt overshadowed; anyone here seemed more impressive than herself.

Despite feeling a twinge of bitterness, she suppressed it and removed her mask, smiling brightly as she bowed to everyone.

“Good evening, everyone. I’m Liu Qinnuan.”

“Miss Liu Qinnuan!”

Su Qingwan suddenly brightened her eyes and rushed over, grabbing Liu Qinnuan’s hand.

Liu Qinnuan was startled. Why was this beautiful woman behaving like such an enthusiastic fan?

Fortunately, Su Qingwan quickly regained her composure, then coughed lightly, and released her hand.

“My friend really likes you. Could you give me an autograph?”

“Sure.”

“Teacher Su is quite a fan, huh? Does she prefer Chu Qingchan or Liu Qinnuan?”

Xu Lin asked Qin Yunhe quietly, who nodded.

“Not just Liu Qinnuan, she likes anyone beautiful.”

“In that case, I think Teacher Su would get along well with my mom.”

“What do you mean?”

Qin Yunhe suddenly wondered if Xu Lin was fooling her by saying he had no feelings for Su Qingwan, but was actually thinking about her best friend behind her back?

“My mom is also all about looks.”

“No wonder.”

Qin Yunhe glanced at Chu Fengyi, Chu Qingchan, Ji Yun, and Bai Xiaoxiao. Looks mattered here. Any of them would be respected as a daughter-in-law.

“Xu Lin, I’m going to get an autograph too.”

Xu Lin glanced sideways and saw Ji Yun gently tugging at him, also looking excited.

“Do you like Liu Qinnuan too?”

“I grew up watching her TV dramas.”

“But she’s younger than you…”

“Huh~ I’ll go over and get one. Zhuo Yan also really likes her.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

“Sister Ji Yun listens to you so well. Do you have to approve everything?”

“You don’t understand~”

Ji Yun asked him before doing anything, which was actually a tacit understanding between the two of them getting along, not that he asked Ji Yun to ask him.

But before Ji Yun did anything, she would consider his and the other party’s thoughts.

This time, asking him was also about whether Miss Liu Qinnuan liked being disturbed.

This is her gentleness, one of the reasons why everyone will not hate her when facing her.

“You Old King of Understanding! I’m going to get an autograph too.”

“The King of Understanding isn’t online yet… What are you doing? Are you a fan too?”

“I’m giving it to my colleagues and sisters, bye.”

Then Xu Lin was left with Bai Xiaoxiao and Chu Fengyi. Chu Fengyi was still holding her phone, frowning, and completely ignoring Liu Qinnuan’s arrival.

“Darn it, why haven’t you come yet!”

“My dear Shifu, why suddenly swear?”

“I contacted the property manager, they said the homeowner still needs to wait. I’m really dumbfounded, I’ve been waiting for almost an hour! Didn’t they say this homeowner lives here?”

“Maybe they’re not inside the villa area…”

“Anyway, I’m really mad now. If I don’t cut down 2 million in a while, I, Chu Fengyi, won’t be named Chu today!”

“You’re offering too little, they won’t sell.”

“Just watch me perform.”

“Hey? Xu Lin, isn’t that…”

Suddenly Bai Xiaoxiao spoke, and the cat in her arms meowed. Xu Lin looked downstairs.

He saw a girl dressed in black with a hoodie and a mask walking in.

Although she was wearing a mask and the hoodie covered her, Xu Lin immediately recognized her from her figure.

Isn’t she the rich girl who found Bai Xiaoxiao’s dog and helped many small animals?

She actually lives here? What is she doing here, could it be… she’s the landlord of this villa?
