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...
Lin Lina originally thought she could hook up with Xu Xinchen's boyfriend while Xu Xinchen was away, but she never realized that Xu Xinchen's boyfriend was such a difficult person!
She had just lost all face in her life. When she walked into the office, filled with anger, she saw Xu Xinchen sitting there chatting happily with Lin Bingchun and other colleagues. She instinctively glared at him.
Xu Xinchen sensed Lin Lina's malice, smiled silently, stopped chatting and laughing with the others, stood up and looked at Lin Lina with an innocent expression: "Lin Lina, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"
The others also noticed that Lin Lina glared at Xu Xinchen as soon as she entered the office, so everyone thought it was perfectly normal for Xu Xinchen to stand up and ask Lin Lina a question.
Some people even looked at Lin Lina with displeasure in their eyes. What did Lin Lina want to do to be quiet for just a short while? Was she going to stir up trouble in the office again?
Lin Lina could naturally sense the attitude of her other colleagues towards her, so she looked at Xu Xinchen with a wary expression and deep vigilance in her eyes, without saying a word to respond to Xu Xinchen's words.
Xu Xinchen looked at Lin Lina's expression and burst out laughing: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Lin Lina gritted her teeth, remaining silent, and returned to her seat with her handbag. Xu Xinchen, seeing that Lin Lina didn't argue with her but instead went back to her seat, couldn't figure out what Lin Lina wanted to do.
He could only turn his head, innocently shrug at the people he had just been chatting with, point at Lin Na with his finger, and then push the chair he was sitting on towards his seat.
Seeing that Xu Xinchen had already returned to her seat, the others went about their own business. After all, Xu Xinchen was the one leading the conversation earlier, and now that the leader was gone, the others naturally went about their own business.
Lin Bingchun looked around and, seeing that everyone was busy with their own things, pushed her chair aside and slowly sidled up to Xu Xinchen, saying, "Min Shi, do you think Lin Lina's sudden behavior means she's heartbroken?"
Xu Xinchen turned around in surprise and asked Lin Bingchun, "Why are you saying that all of a sudden?"
Xu Xinchen had been harboring deep doubts about Lin Lina's behavior over the past two days, and now, hearing Lin Bingchun's sudden comment only fueled her suspicions.
Xu Xinchen thought Lin Bingchun had discovered something about Lin Lina, but unexpectedly, Lin Bingchun mysteriously leaned close to her ear and said something.
“Just before I entered the company, I saw Lin Lina talking to someone in a car downstairs. The car looked quite luxurious, but I couldn’t see what the person inside looked like. She seemed to be smiling happily, but now she looks like this as soon as she gets to the company. I suspect she might have been dumped.”
Upon hearing Lin Bingchun's guess, Xu Xinchen was momentarily speechless with amusement. She reached out and ruffled Lin Bingchun's hair, saying, "Maybe it was just a little argument, or maybe she's heartbroken. But how come I've never heard of her having a boyfriend before, and now one suddenly appears?"
From Xu Xinchen's perspective, it was just sitting next to a car, talking to the people inside; nothing more.
They could definitely be defined as boyfriend and girlfriend, but looking at Lin Bingchun's face, which was full of gossip, one could tell.
Xu Xinchen felt it was inappropriate to interrupt Lin Bingchun's excitement, so she could only distract herself and wait for Lin Bingchun to figure it out herself.
Lin Bingchun scratched her head: "But I saw that Lin Lina was really happy just now. Now that she's in the office, she looks like she's about to die. Compared to her behavior downstairs, I think there's a 90% chance that my suspicion is true."
"Alright, let's just assume she really has a boyfriend. But I haven't heard her mention him in the past month or so, and I haven't noticed anything unusual about her."
As Xu Xinchen spoke, she opened the folder in her hand. She was genuinely puzzled, as she had never heard of Lin Lina having a boyfriend before.
It's almost fair to say that everyone in the company thinks Lin Lina is single; otherwise, they wouldn't keep repeating the fact that she wants to marry a rich man.
Lin Bingchun snorted dismissively and said to Xu Xinchen, "Who knows when they hooked up? Lin Lina's performance has been quite unremarkable for the past month, and I haven't paid attention to her for a long time. Maybe it was during this period of our neglect that she suddenly found a sucker."
Xu Xinchen smiled and glanced at Lin Bingchun, then said to her, "Don't always describe others as suckers; maybe they're being sincere."
Lin Bingchun chuckled softly, her laughter sounding utterly disdainful: "The man might be sincere, but Lin Lina's side is another matter entirely. With Lin Lina's arrogant attitude and her determination to marry a rich man, it would be a miracle if she were truly sincere towards anyone."
As she spoke, Lin Bingchun added, "If you were to say that Lin Lina went there for the money of the person in the car, then I would believe it to some extent."
Xu Xinchen shrugged, picked up the documents in his hand, and then took out his laptop and placed it next to him so he could easily use it to calculate data: "Don't think too much about it. Anyway, it's all Lin Lina's business, it has nothing to do with us."
As long as Lin Lina didn't provoke her, Xu Xinchen believed she could pretend nothing happened. But if Lin Lina was reckless and wanted to continue attacking them... Xu Xinchen thought coldly, she would definitely make Lin Lina understand that she wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Lin Bingchun didn't notice what Xu Xinchen was thinking. She slapped her head and said with a disappointed look, "That's true. Anyway, no matter what the other person does, it's Lin Lina's own life. What does it have to do with us?"
Although Lin Bingchun wishes Lin Lina bad luck every day, she is actually quite happy for Lin Lina if she finds a suitable partner.
