21st-century film empress Xu Xinchen is reborn into the body of Lu Minshi in the 1980s.

Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...

Chapter 123

Xu Xinchen looked at Chen Baifei with a cold smile, her eyes full of sarcasm: "Who do you think you are? Why should I tell you whether I have a boyfriend or not? Okay, if there's nothing else, please get lost. I should go back, or my boyfriend will get worried."

Looking at the cold expression on Xu Xinchen's face, Chen Baifei felt a surge of indescribable emotions. He reached out and grabbed Xu Xinchen's hand, preventing her from moving.

With a pained expression on her face, she said to Xu Xinchen, "Min Shi, I'm still thinking about you. Please give up on your boyfriend and come back to me, okay?"

Xu Xinchen didn't expect that even after making things so obvious, Chen Baifei would still keep pestering her. She shook off Chen Baifei's hand hard: "What are you daydreaming about? I've told you, my partner is much better than you. Even if I'm blind or crazy, I would never go back to you."

Chen Baifei's face was full of heartache: "Min Shi, I didn't expect that in such a short time, you would have become such a vain woman."

Xu Xinchen paused in her struggle, staring blankly at Chen Baifei: "What nonsense are you talking about? Me, vain?"

This is the first time in Xu Xinchen's life, both past and present, that someone has ever used the term "vain" to describe her. When has she ever been a vain person? How come she doesn't know?

Chen Baifei seemed oblivious to Xu Xinchen's displeasure. He continued, his face full of pain, "You still dare to say you only care about money when looking for a partner? Would you do anything for money? Where is your partner?"

"Hey? How old is he this year? You're not going to follow those people and find an old man who could be your father as a partner, are you?"

"You're crazy!" Xu Xinchen was so angry that she wanted to swear for the first time: "My boyfriend is younger than you, better looking than you, and has a better figure than you. In every aspect, you can't compare to him. Let go of me right now and stop using your filthy thoughts to speculate about me."

Chen Baifei held Xu Xinchen's hand tightly, not letting her break free at all: "Don't lie to me anymore. How could there be such a person as you described? If he were really young, good-looking, and rich, why would he be interested in you?"

In Chen Baifei's mind, Xu Xinchen was just a teacher in Qingyuan Town. Now that she had resigned from her teaching position, it would not be easy for her to find a job outside. If the other party was really a young, handsome, and rich man, why would he be interested in Xu Xinchen?

Just as Xu Xinchen was so angry that she was about to pick up her bag and hit Chen Baifei, a deep laugh suddenly came from behind Chen Baifei: "I didn't expect Mr. Chen to think of my girlfriend like this. I'll remember this. Now, can you please let go of my girlfriend's hand?"

Chen Baifei was taken aback and slowly turned his head to look back. Xu Xinchen looked over with a face full of joy. Chen Ningsheng was standing with his arms crossed, looking at Chen Baifei with a mocking expression.

His eyes were filled with barely suppressed anger, and his words were so sharp they seemed to want to tear Chen Baifei to pieces on the spot: "Mr. Chen, if you continue to hold onto my girlfriend's hand, don't blame me for being impolite."

Chen Baifei's expression was blank, and the strength in his hand unconsciously loosened. Xu Xinchen seized this opportunity and exerted force...

She shook off Chen Baifei's hand and ran towards Chen Ningsheng, saying, "Ningsheng, you're out."

Chen Ningsheng smiled and patted Xu Xinchen's hair: "I saw you'd been out for too long and was worried you'd gone to the wrong private room, so I came out to look for you."

As he spoke, Chen Ningsheng's expression grew increasingly cold. He turned to look at Chen Baifei, his tone sharp as the winter wind: "I never expected that when I came out, I would see you being harassed by such an incompetent person."

Xu Xinchen buried her face in Chen Ningsheng's arms: "I don't know why he's here. It has nothing to do with me. You should know him too. I remember you went to the wedding banquet when he married my sister."

Chen Ningsheng nodded slightly. How could he forget Chen Baifei? If it weren't for Chen Baifei's momentary lapse of judgment in marrying Xu Xinchen's sister, he and Xu Xinchen might have already missed their chance.

But what does this blind man mean now? Could it be that he saw Lu Shuangshuang run away and wants to go back to Xu Xinchen to get back together? This is simply disregarding him.

Chen Baifei didn't recall that Chen Ningsheng had attended his and Lu Shuangshuang's wedding banquet, but he remembered Chen Ningsheng's face very clearly. The owner of that face had often been used as a chat subject by others since he joined the company.

Chen Ningsheng is a young man who has already taken charge of a company. Not only did he handle the machine crisis quickly and effectively, but he also managed to stabilize his company's profits.

To ensure that one's company doesn't experience significant fluctuations, unlike others who crumble at the slightest crisis, demonstrates a shrewd, resourceful, and highly capable individual.

If Lu Minshi is really with Chen Ningsheng, then Chen Baifei has absolutely no chance of competing with her. But given Lu Minshi's family background, is she really capable of entering Chen Ningsheng's family? How could Chen Ningsheng's family possibly agree to let a woman like Lu Minshi, who has no power or influence, into their home?

As Chen Baifei pondered, he became lost in his own thoughts, and he didn't even hear Chen Ningsheng speaking to him from across the room.

Chen Ningsheng looked at Chen Baifei, who was right in front of him but ignored him, and his expression suddenly darkened. He clenched his fists tightly and said in a cold voice, "It seems that Mr. Chen really doesn't take me seriously. Fine, I'll remember this. I will also repay Mr. Chen with a generous gift. I hope Mr. Chen will not be polite and will accept it without hesitation."

After saying that, Chen Ningsheng led Xu Xinchen into the private room. When Chen Baifei looked up from his reverie, he found that Chen Ningsheng and Xu Xinchen were already gone.

Xu Xinchen was pulled into the private room by Chen Ningsheng. Seeing the displeasure on Chen Ningsheng's face, she couldn't help but chuckle softly, patted Chen Ningsheng's cheek, and started talking to him.
