Chapter 245: Surrounded by Stars

Looking at He Xiaohui in front of her, scenes from high school floated before Lin Mu Xue's eyes.

"Xiao Xue, your Nike sneakers are fake! The LOGO is wrong, the workmanship is so rough! I guess it doesn't exceed 50 yuan, right?"

"This is chocolate my cousin brought me from Shanghai, come come come, everyone one piece... ah... sorry Xiao Xue, just finished, none for you... Zhang Wen, is it delicious?"

"Why is my moisturizer missing so much? Who stole it? Xiao Xue, it must be you! You're the only one in the dorm who doesn't have any!"

"Hehe, Shen Kaihang confessed to you again?... Stop pretending! Dare to make a bet, I will definitely live much better than you in the future! And the boyfriend I find will be more excellent than yours!"

…

Before, Lin Mu Xue didn't quite understand why someone in high school would isolate, spread rumors, and bully her for no reason.

Clearly, she didn't want to provoke anyone, and she usually tried hard to please them.

Later, with the increase in experience and contact with more people, she gradually understood.

Some people just couldn't accept that you were better than them, a typical jealous personality.

For example, He Xiaohui.

She was more beautiful than her, had a better figure, and the male classmate in the next class she liked often stuffed snacks for her.

And for example, some old classmates who were jumping up and down in the group.

Thinking of this, she smiled and looked at the lens in Chen Siyue's hand, nodding gently, "I guess there are quite a few old classmates watching the live stream, right? Good evening, everyone."

Although her tone was calm, her gaze carried sharp confidence, plus her luxury goods all over, displaying a thick, high-intelligence, exquisite atmosphere, deeply stinging some people's hearts.

It also made the atmosphere in the live-streaming room reach a climax again.

Looking at the silent He Xiaohui and the envious and jealous Chen Siyue, Lin Mu Xue felt refreshed to the extreme.

Although she wasn't that awesome, she had always been skilled at acting cool.

Imitating the temperament of Qin Yingxue and Mo Xiang Wan by 40-50% was definitely enough to hold the scene.

Chen Siyue calmed down, looked at the live-streaming room, and the expression on her face instantly froze.

The number of people online had exceeded 1,000, and there were many gifts.

This was the peak moment since she started self-media.

Chen Siyue hurriedly said enthusiastically: "Thank you family members for the likes and gifts, thank you 【Momo】 for the Douyin No. 1, thank you 【Cold Rainy Night】 for the Cloud Secret Realm..."

Immediately after, messages of discussion appeared in the live-streaming room one after another.

【"Holy crap, seems really awesome!"】

【"Beautiful and well-proportioned, with a strong aura, this classmate Lin Mu Xue is truly outstanding! She must be the most exceptional 'blind box' Siyue has ever filmed!"】

【"The Trust Committee is generally the highest-level decision-making layer in a trust fund; this senior secretary has a lot of power, equivalent to a company's board secretary."】

【"I don't understand trusts, but I understand her attire. The watch she's wearing is a Vacheron Constantin Overseas, the bag in her hand is an Hermès Birkin, the shoes are Valentino..."】

…

Seeing these discussions, Chen Siyue was stunned and couldn't help but look at Lin Mu Xue's outfit.

Seeing it on Douyin before, she always thought these were fakes, until seeing it with her own eyes could she clearly perceive the exquisiteness and luxury.

Of course, the biggest reason was that her entrance and temperament were truly too shocking.

Being in such an environment, she believes Lin Mu Xue wouldn't wear high-quality replicas.

Looking at it this way, this high school classmate has really struck it rich.

Whether it's luck or she climbed up to a rich person, it makes her look forward to the video's effect even more.

Footsteps approached, and Li Da, dressed in suit pants and leather shoes, walked over, "Um, Mu Xue, shall we go to the restaurant first? It's not very good to keep standing here."

He looked at the elegant, fashionable, and beautiful Lin Mu Xue, his eyes still filled with heat.

The current Lin Mu Xue is simply too charming, making him want to get close to her; he'd be happy even as a backup.

Glancing at Li Da, Lin Mu Xue moved away from him calmly.

After all, there was the precedent of Xu An before, and she used Li Da's harassment as an excuse to have Tang Song pretend to be her boyfriend.

And now she's livestreaming, and Tang Song also knows her Douyin account; if he misunderstands, that would really be a mess.

Mao Wenqiong nodded along, "Little Xue, you're busy with work, and Siyue just arrived in Yancheng, let's go eat first."

Lin Mu Xue nodded gently, "Then let's go. There's a nice Italian restaurant nearby; the owner is a friend of a colleague of mine, and I've already asked him to help book a table."

She discovered during lunch that this company is truly a treasure.

The employees inside are all talented, and they speak so well.

The connections, energy, and social circles they possess are far beyond hers.

For example, hearing that she wanted to have a meal with classmates, several local colleagues immediately recommended several restaurants with great grades, environments, and services, and they could all help book the best tables, with discounts on the prices too.

"That's great, let's go, Mu Xue!" Li Da hurriedly reached out to gesture, "I drove here, a 7-seater business van, a Buick GL8, it'll be comfortable for the 5 of us."

Mao Wenqiong whispered, "I'll just sit in the back row."

"No need, Wenqiong, you can ride in my car." Lin Mu Xue raised her eyebrows and swept a glance at the fawning Li Da.

Today, I, "Empress Mu Xue," am out driving an "Imperial Weapon" Bentley; you are hindering me from showing off!

You have a "way to die"!

She doesn't have many hobbies for leisure; web novels are one, which she picked up from those male classmates in high school.

She reads both male and female-oriented ones, and what she likes most is showing off and face-slapping.

Speaking of which, that "Fanfu Suzi Cultural Media Co., Ltd." does short dramas and has quite a few adaptation copyrights for web novels, so it's somewhat professionally aligned with her; she's quite interested.

She'll strive to take this opportunity to perform well in front of Tang Song.

Mao Wenqiong nodded hurriedly, "Oh, oh, okay, thank you, Little Xue."

Li Da opened his mouth and said awkwardly, "Alright then."

Sweeping a glance at the boiling livestream and classmate group, looking at Lin Mu Xue who was surrounded like stars, He Xiaohui's mouth twitched.

She couldn't help but speak up: "Little Xue, is that your two-seater Porsche 718 sports car?"

Lin Mu Xue smiled and shook her head, "I've already changed cars."

"Oh~" He Xiaohui instantly perked up, "What a coincidence, I've always liked the 718, I was thinking of test-driving one; maybe my boyfriend will buy one in the future."

Chen Siyue, who was livestreaming, eyes lit up, adjusted the camera, and smiled: "Little Xue, the netizens in the livestream all want to see what kind of car a financial executive like you drives; is it convenient?"

Lin Mu Xue forcibly suppressed the corners of her mouth from rising and said calmly: "It's okay, but don't film the license plate; I don't want to be disturbed too much."

Her previous Porsche 718 was rented from a car dealership, so she never showed the license plate on Douyin.

What's more, the current Bentley is Tang Song's; showing off is fine, but she doesn't want to cause him trouble.

"Okay, I'll pay attention to the camera later." Chen Siyue nodded hurriedly.

Walking out of the Chengyuan Building entrance, the sweltering air rushed towards them.

The four followed behind Lin Mu Xue, walking towards the ground parking area.

Chen Siyue's camera was always aimed at Lin Mu Xue's direction, and the livestream was full of "licker" comments.

He Xiaohui's eyes were red with jealousy.

But she had to admit that the current Lin Mu Xue is indeed very beautiful, much more outstanding than what she saw on Douyin.

Her waist is slender, and her hips are round and firm.

Her waterfall-like long hair was draped casually over her back, a few strands of hair floating gently in the air conditioning breeze, and a pleasant perfume scent drifted over.

Her long legs were straight and delicate, and the hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps.

Looking from behind, she was like a beautiful rose blooming in the urban jungle, exuding charming allure.

Li Da swallowed his saliva, staring blankly at her back, his mind restless.

"Click, click—" High heels tapped on the bluestone slab, Lin Mu Xue stopped, turned sideways and smiled: "We're here, Siyue, pay attention to the shooting angle."

The four were stunned, only then did they look at the car in front of her.

Under the soft sunset glow, the glacier-white Bentley Continental GT was parked quietly in the space.

The car paint was mirror-like, pure and noble, reflecting the subtle light and shadow changes of the surrounding environment.

Sometimes it shimmered with a delicate silver luster, sometimes it blended into the soft twilight, like a huge, meticulously carved ice crystal.

On the side of the car body, the muscular silhouette looked magnificent.

The mesh grille on the front face was decorated with exquisite chrome, highlighting a luxurious and noble atmosphere.

The silver wheel spokes had exquisite textures, dazzling in the sunset, complementing the glacier-white car body.

"Bentley!?" He Xiaohui exclaimed, her eyes widening suddenly.

Chen Siyue looked at the exploding livestream and said blankly: "It's a Bentley Continental GT!"

Lin Mu Xue raised the corners of her mouth and reached out to grasp the driver's side door handle.

"Click—" With a sound, the vehicle unlocked, and the gorgeous lights flashed.

She bent down slightly, took out a pair of flat shoes from the car and changed into them.

"I'll send the restaurant address to the WeChat group; it's only two kilometers away, let's meet at the entrance." Lin Mu Xue put away her high heels and beckoned to Mao Wenqiong, "Get in, Wenqiong."

Her slender, snow-white arms rested on the car window, her posture straight and upright, appearing noble and elegant against the backdrop of the Bentley Continental.

Mao Wenqiong nodded with a flushed face, walking towards the car somewhat awkwardly.

He Xiaohui bit her lower lip hard, her body trembling slightly with jealousy.

Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to come to Yancheng to strike at Lin Mu Xue, but she didn't expect herself to become the clown.

Seeing her former high school rival living so prosperously, she felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten shit.

But no matter what, she couldn't figure out why Lin Mu Xue is living so well?

She must have latched onto some rich tycoon! Became someone's mistress!

A 60 or 70-year-old man full of twilight? A greasy, bald, pot-bellied middle-aged fatty?

Thinking of this, He Xiaohui couldn't help but speak up: "Little Xue, where's your boyfriend? Call him out to eat together? I'm very curious about what kind of person he is."

Lin Mu Xue, who was about to get in the car, paused, a faint mockery appearing on her face, "He's very busy, no time."

Is Tang Song someone you can see just because you want to? What kind of beautiful dream are you having?

Feeling Lin Mu Xue's contempt, He Xiaohui was somewhat exasperated, "Then we old classmates are here, he won't not show up at all, right?"

Chen Siyue looked at the intense discussion in the livestream and added: "Yeah, Little Xue, we won't film him, we just want to see him. I'll describe it later to satisfy the netizens' curiosity. They all want to know, for a girl as outstanding as you, how excellent must a boyfriend be to be worthy of you."

Lin Mu Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "He is indeed very excellent; if we really talk about whether we are matched, it's me who isn't worthy of him. Aren't you coming to my house to film a video this Saturday? Maybe you'll see him then."

After speaking, she got into the car on her own, and with a "bang," closed the door.

"Let's set off too." Chen Siyue flipped the camera and started chatting with the audience in the livestream.

In just over 10 minutes of livestreaming, the gifts, comments, and likes she received had already exceeded the total of before.

She had a premonition that this Lin Mu Xue blind box video would definitely be the hottest episode.

Li Da, who was standing blankly on the side, gradually came back to his senses, looking at Lin Mu Xue in the Bentley, and walked towards his Buick GL8 with a complicated mood.

He Xiaohui stomped her feet and followed, cursing angrily in her heart: "Think you're amazing just because you found a rich old man? Bah! A petty person who has achieved success!"

"Boom, boom, boom—" The low and powerful roar of the engine sounded, like a beast roaring.

The wheels turned slowly, making a slight "squeak" sound as they rubbed against the ground.

Lin Mu Xue leaned on the seat, her fingers grasping the steering wheel, her legs rubbing gently, and a faint blush rose on her beautiful face.

No matter how she disguised it, no matter how her mentality changed, she still couldn't suppress her restless heart.

…

In the floor-to-ceiling window opposite the parking lot.

Tang Song withdrew his gaze and sipped his coffee gently.

He was wearing a solid white T-shirt, jeans, black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a black baseball cap on his head.

Looking low-key and introverted.

Tang Song put down the coffee cup gently and said to Zhang Chengyuan opposite him: "Tell me about Lin Mu Xue's performance at the company today."

"Okay!" Zhang Chengyuan responded hurriedly and began to describe it in detail.

Tang Song listened quietly, a light of contemplation flashing in his eyes.

The passive skill that comes with the 【Observation and Control】 task is very important to him.

Completing the task requires him to observe and control her transformation process, which is why he specifically ran here to witness her first meeting with her old classmates.

I have to say, today's Lin Mu Xue gave him quite a surprise.

This interesting "fake socialite" friend seems to be truly transforming herself, and her progress is fast.

After finishing the talk about Lin Mu Xue's performance.

Tang Song tapped the glass tabletop rhythmically with his fingers, "By the way, I will also participate in the due diligence of Fanfu Suzi this time; all investigation materials and progress must be synchronized to my email, and by the way, add me to Teams."

"Received." Zhang Chengyuan nodded vigorously, "Chairman Tang, do you have any opinions on the due diligence team list I drafted?"

Tang Song swept a glance at the document in front of him and smiled: "Add Lin Mu Xue as well."
