Chapter 22 Curiosity

"In a few days, it will be the Crown Prince's 22nd birthday. In previous years, he had celebrated his birthday quietly, but this year is different. This year, the Ji family's patriarch has announced that he will host a large banquet, inviting all unmarried young people of the same age with whom they have good relations or business dealings to attend. It's only five days away, so consider these next couple of days what kind of gift to prepare," Rong Yinian said.

Mu Wanqing curled her lips and said, "They say it's a birthday celebration, but who doesn't know that they're actually looking for a granddaughter-in-law. This Crown Prince may be handsome and capable, but he's definitely not easy to get along with, not to mention, he's too frail. Our Yunyun won't be joining this fuss."

"I'm afraid that's not going to work," said the old Master Rong, his face crinkling like a bitter melon, "I've already boasted to the old Ji patriarch that my granddaughter has been found. He told me last night to have my precious granddaughter attend the banquet. I couldn't refuse either."

Mu Wanqing: …

"It's fine," Mu Lingyun suddenly spoke up, "I'm actually quite curious about this Crown Prince myself, so let me go and take a look."

Mu Wanqing and Rong Yinian exchanged a glance, and then Mu Wanqing spoke, "Yunyun, if you're curious, then let's go and take a look. However, this Crown Prince, despite his good looks, top-notch demeanor, and stature, has indeed a bad temper and personality, and his health is even worse; who knows what might happen to him someday... In any case, we can go and see, but don't entertain any other thoughts, okay?"

Mu Lingyun slightly raised her eyebrows; she understood what Mu Wanqing meant. This was a casual pre-emptive warning, in case she fell for Ji Luochen at first sight.

After all, how attractive would someone have to be to make Mrs. Mu so worried?

Could he be as handsome as Ji Luochen from "Another World"?

"Yunyun, what are you thinking?" Seeing Mu Lingyun deep in thought and silent, Mrs. Mu asked her.

At her words, Mu Lingyun quickly said, "I understand, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who judges by appearance... oops, I mean, I'm not the kind of person who gets seduced by looks."

"Haha," everyone was amused by her slip of the tongue.

After breakfast, Mu Lingyun headed back to school, as she had classes both in the morning and in the afternoon.

After the morning class, she went to the cafeteria with her roommate.

"Yunyun, have you seen Weibo?" Suddenly, Mo Qian called out to Mu Lingyun.

"Is there some big news?" Mu Lingyun hadn't checked Weibo, so she turned around and asked.

"'Thousand Faces' has changed its leading actress," Mo Qian said.

Mu Lingyun was uninterested; although 'Thousand Faces' had caused quite a stir, it still had to continue filming, didn't it?

So, changing its lead actress wasn't something to make a big fuss about.

"You certainly didn't expect this, but we know the new leading lady!" Mo Qian continued.

"Who is it?" Mu Lingyun didn't speak, instead, it was Qin Shuangshuang who raised her eyebrows and asked.

"It's Senior Wei Ruolan!" Mo Qian revealed.

At Beijing Film Academy, Wei Ruolan was fairly famous as it was, common knowledge because she was beautiful, well-born, and especially tender.

Mu Lingyun frowned slightly, and then with a smile that was not quite a smile, she said, "I was wondering who this divine figure could be, that Han Ming would take action against me. Turns out it's her."

She had racked her brains but couldn't figure out why Han Ming would target her.

But the sudden appearance of Wei Ruolan made things clear.

It seems Han Ming is indeed a romantic; most likely, he targeted her for Wei Ruolan's sake, right?
