Lin Yanâs curiosity was piqued. âWho is that?â
As Ling Yue stared intently at Lin Yanâs face, she swallowed her words back. With a shake of her head, she quipped, âAhem... Nothing. Just someone who passed away. Oh yeah, sister-in-law...â
âHold on! Letâs change the way you address me. After all, my relationship with Brother Yu hasnât been made public yet,â said Lin Yan.
Ling Yue expressed her agreement by nodding. âAs an artist, you certainly have to be mindful of your private life to avoid unnecessary trouble.â
She contemplated this briefly before reeling off, âThen Iâll address you as Sister Yan! Sister Yan, what are your plans for the upcoming charity function? Lin Shuya has deliberately helped you buy votes so that you can attend. She wants you to witness her seize everything that should have belonged to you!â
Ling Yue had finally stopped calling her sister-in-law, so Lin Yan was relieved. She waved her hands nonchalantly as she quipped, âIâm not interested in being a charity ambassador. I should seize this opportunity to get more jobs instead! I need to earn money to buy food for my darlings!â
The reason she had founded Angelâs Shelter was to house strays. She had no intention of using it to gain anything.
Ling Yue, who had sort of expected Lin Yanâs answer, sighed helplessly.
Would anyone have expected that the supposedly money-grubbing, scheming, and unscrupulous Lin Yan would have forked out so much money quietly for charity?
Lin Yan coughed gently when she noticed Ling Yueâs gaze on her. She was feeling uncomfortable, so she asked, âWhat is it?â
Ling Yue gazed at her with admiration shining in her eyes. âI just feel that Brother Yu has good foresight! No wonder he likes you!â
Lin Yan was speechless...
This was the first time someone had praised Pei Yucheng for his foresight...
...
For the annual charity eventâs publicity and promotion campaign, the charity organization had invited Gu Xinhan, who was last yearâs charity angel, and the most popular candidate, Lin Shuya, to film a music video and create an official poster.
Early in the morning, Lin Shuya set off for the filming studio with her manager in tow.
On the way, her manager informed her about some arrangements that had been made for the day. After he confirmed that Lin Shuya would be the only one filming with Gu Xinhan that day, he grinned brightly at Lin Shuya.
âShuya, the management has arranged for only you and Gu Xinhan to film the video. It seems like you are set to be the charity angel this year.â
During this critical period, she had been invited to appear with last yearâs winner. It went without saying that she would be crowned charity angel.
Lin Shuya scanned the scenery outside the window as a triumphant smile flitted across her exquisite face.
âItâs just a video and a poster. Everything is still in progress, so itâs uncertain.â
âHow could that be? Your votes have exceeded each and every other artistâs. You have left everyone in the dust! I reckon that even the management has basically confirmed that you will be the winner this year. Otherwise, why would they mobilize Gu Xinhan to shoot the publicity campaign with you?
Shuya, youâre always really humble. Havenât you read the comments? Everyone believes that you deserve the title.â Her manager beamed at her.
