"By the way, Miss Myra, I saw a picture of a young girl on Death's desk. She's very... very pretty. Who is she?"
How did a picture of a little crow end up on Death's desk?
To be precise, how could a little crow possibly have any dealings with Death?
Is it just that they look alike?
The girl in the photo is standing in a huge and magnificent castle. She is definitely not from an ordinary family. Who is she? How come she looks so much like Qianmo?
Although only a profile picture is shown, their temperament and charm are extremely similar; in fact, they seem to be the same person.
Bai Luoyu felt that his brain was completely messed up at this moment.
Myra glanced at the desk, her smile fading slightly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, I can't say much about our boss's affairs."
Bai Luoyu was disappointed by Myra's answer, and his doubts deepened.
Somewhat lost in thought, she followed Myra back to Jayne's office, where Jayne and Bai Kangyan were sitting together discussing something.
After Bai Luoyu entered, Jayne smiled slightly: "By the way, Mr. Bai, my friend Mr. Guo Qize told me that your idol is the Grim Reaper?"
Bai Luoyu pulled himself back to reality and slowly looked up at Jayne.
"Yes, I've been a loyal fan of Death ever since he made his name on Wall Street in his first year. I always keep up with any news about him. But in the last two or three years, Death has been semi-retired, and we fans rarely know anything about him anymore."
After saying that, Bai Luoyu said hopefully, "Mr. Jayne, I have a favor to ask."
A hint of amusement crossed Jayne's tall, handsome face as he raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it."
"I want to see Death, even just a glimpse of him from afar, I don't know..."
Jayne's smile deepened: "Mr. Bai, you will see her."
You could say that you've actually met her before.
"Really?" Bai Luoyu was extremely excited.
Bai Kangyan smiled and said, "Death is Luo Yu's only idol. He really admires Death. If he can fulfill his dream of meeting his idol, he will be very excited and happy."
Jayne clasped his hands together, resting them lazily on his thighs. His icy blue pupils were deep and dark, and his thin lips curved slightly into a smile.
"I think Death would be surprised if he knew."
Bai Kangyan and Bai Luoyu didn't understand Jayne's words at first, but neither of them pondered their deeper meaning.
Bai Luoyu originally wanted to ask about the photo on the Grim Reaper's table, but when he thought about Myra's expression at the time, which seemed to be avoiding something, he hesitated for a while and ultimately did not ask.

next day
Longxiyuan
Bai Kangyan and Bai Luoyu have been abroad for three days. During these three days, while the father and son were away, Bai Xiruo has made Bai Qianmo infamous in the entertainment industry.
At this press conference, with the words spoken by Han Songyan and Zhang Cuiyan, coupled with the revelations from Zhou Hongwei and Song Wanwan, Bai Qianmo has now been labeled a promiscuous woman.
Moreover, with the blacklist from Jiashang Media, Bai Qianmo can forget about ever having a chance to make a comeback.
"Mom, I have an interview program to do today. What happened at the press conference a few days ago has greatly affected Qianmo's reputation. I want to take this opportunity to explain things to the public and ask them to stop criticizing Qianmo."
Han Songyan held her coffee cup, looking thoughtful.
The original intention of holding that press conference was to clear Xi Ruo's name and then take the opportunity to force Qian Mo to leave the entertainment industry.
Although she has achieved her goal, she feels guilty every time she sees comments online criticizing her, with all sorts of vulgar language and rude netizens even dragging her parents and relatives into it.
Bai Kangyan and Luo Yu will be back soon. They are in the US and are unaware of what has happened in China these past few days. But once they return, she may not be able to explain this matter to them.
"That's good. Qianmo was indeed criticized too harshly this time. I don't know what Zhou Hongwei was thinking. How could he say such veiled things in front of reporters? And that female reporter named Song Qingqing, I remember Zhou Mei didn't invite any of Jia'ai's reporters, right? What exactly is she trying to do by bringing up Qianmo's adoptive mother?"
Han Songyan looked gloomy when the topic was brought up.
The person she least wanted to see was Zhang Cuiyan. Whenever she saw this rustic village woman, she would think of how her daughter, whom she had carried for ten months, had been spoiled by this woman.
If it weren't for Zhang Cuiyan, if Qianmo had been switched at birth by a couple with some education, perhaps she wouldn't have ended up on this path.
Bai Xiruo lowered her eyes, a sinister glint flashing in them.
She scoffed inwardly. Even if Han Songyan was biased towards her, she could never truly let go of Bai Qianmo.
No matter how despicable Bai Qianmo is, she is still Han Songyan's biological daughter. Han Songyan would never completely ruin Bai Qianmo for her own sake. Therefore, if Bai Qianmo wants to have no chance to turn things around, she has to rely on herself.

Bai Family Old House
Mr. Bai had happily gone out to walk his bird early in the morning. When he arrived at the newsstand to buy a copy of the Beijing Morning Post, he unexpectedly saw an entertainment news article in the newspaper.
After reading the news, Grandpa Bai's face turned red with anger. The newsstand owner, seeing the old man staring at the recently trending scandal and his flushed face, assumed that he was angered by the shameless female celebrity in the news.
"Young women these days are so shameless. They can do such things at such a young age. If anyone were her family member, they would wish they were dead."
