After watching the interview, Director Lin was completely numb and unbelievable. How could she not remember saying such a thing and instead pin all the blame on her?! It's truly a case of "a scholar can be killed but not humiliated," and it infuriated Lin Xiaoxiao.
Her suggestions were clearly the brilliant strategies she had painstakingly gathered to "return to a wealthy family," so how did they become the "finishing touch" of her failure in their mouths?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There's no way my judgment could be wrong! It's definitely not a mistake made by someone with over twenty years of movie-watching experience.
Lin Xiaoxiao was so angry that her chest felt like it was about to explode. She gulped down a glass of red wine of unknown value, closed her eyes, and savored the bitterness that was different from the cheap red wine in the supermarket that cost twenty yuan. Ah, the taste of money! She would not admit defeat!
After sighing, Lin Xiaoxiao swallowed the bitter red wine, suppressing her nausea. It was probably expensive, taken from her family's wine rack, and she couldn't afford to waste it. As for the taste not being to her liking, well, once she returned to her wealthy family and settled down, she could always find a wine she liked by spending a fortune. Right now, she'd rather avoid spending money from her own bank account.
As for Zhang Erdai, Wang Li, and He Yue, who spoke out of turn, they should all be expelled!
No, we can only fire Zhang Erdai since it's a one-time collaboration. Wang Li and He Yue have already signed contracts, so firing them directly would require paying three times their wages. That's not worth it. Let's just fire Zhang Erdai then. After all, we need to make an example of him. That's settled!
Before she could fully recover, she received a call from home.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoxiao's lips curled up in a strange smile. Was she finally going to see the legendary "old mansion" and the wealthy family? How exciting!
Her family invited her to the family gathering at the end of this month, and of course, they congratulated her on her achievements, but she ignored it, since her dream is to go home and be a freeloader.
Lin Xiaoxiao was genuinely happy; she could even attend a family gathering. How far was she from returning to a life of luxury? Even the fact that she was about to represent Feiyang Entertainment at an internal lecture on national television, which she mentioned over the phone, couldn't dampen her good mood.
Lin Xiaoxiao waited happily until the day of the family gathering. She didn't linger in bed in the morning, got up immediately, put on the Chanel and high heels she found in the closet, and drove the red Ferrari from the underground garage to the Lin family manor.
Wow, these huge villas built halfway up the mountain! Wow, this huge lawn, these sculptures, this fountain, this long corridor, this butler—I actually met the legendary butler! Oh, this guy in a suit and tie is just the parking attendant, not the butler. Oh, this bewildering, damn wealth!
Wow! Look at this magnificent villa standing tall halfway up the mountain! It's like a Cinderella castle—so luxurious and grand! Her own penthouse looks so simple next to this villa. Thank God, thank all the gods, for letting her travel to this world and become such a wealthy heiress. She'd better work hard to return to her rich family as soon as possible so her little castle won't be lonely. Hahaha.
Lin Xiaoxiao drove through the first gate, and on both sides stretched a vast lawn that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. The lawn was a vibrant green, like a thick layer of jade, clearly meticulously maintained. The exquisite sculptures on the lawn, though they looked rather strange, seemed to exude an artistic aura even to Lin Xiaoxiao, who had absolutely no artistic sense.
And that fountain, the water jets shoot so high, sparkling in the sunlight like countless diamonds dancing, it's so beautiful, it made my eyes pop out!
Upon reaching the second gate, a man in a suit stood at the entrance.
Lin Xiaoxiao was surprised. Could this be the legendary butler? Before Lin Xiaoxiao could finish her thought, the other party asked her to get out of the car and then get back in.
Before Lin Xiaoxiao could finish wondering, a maid who came from the corridor led her towards the villa. Only then did Lin Xiaoxiao realize that the young man from before was probably not the butler, but just someone who helped with parking.
Inside the second door, there were many more servants around. Some were tending to flowers, some were wiping sculptures, and others were leading other guests. They were all wearing uniforms and looked well-trained and very professional.
Lin Xiaoxiao saw them from afar and they smiled and nodded to each other.
I never imagined that my imagination was still too limited. With this family fortune, why bother trying to make it in the entertainment industry? Wouldn't it be better to just be a freeloader and lie around doing nothing? Lin Xiaoxiao felt herself getting fired up, full of energy, and wished she could immediately hug her parents' legs and cry for them to come back.
The long corridor shimmered with gold, and Lin Xiaoxiao felt as if she were walking on clouds with every step, making her dizzy.
When the servants led her through a maze to the villa in the back, she was still fantasizing about her future life of wealth. When she saw the door to the room in front of her, Lin Xiaoxiao was a little confused. Was she supposed to rest for a while?
The maid knocked on the door, and then a voice from inside said, "Come in."
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little confused. Was someone inside? As soon as the door opened, she saw a small reception room inside, where a graceful and elegant middle-aged woman appeared before her.
Lin Xiaoxiao immediately realized that this was her mother in this world. Before she could even call out, the other party gave her an extremely cold look and grabbed her by the throat.
The maid closed the door, leaving only Lin Xiaoxiao and her mother inside.
"You're as annoying as ever."
Lin Xiaoxiao's body stiffened. What was going on? Wasn't this her mother? Why did she feel like she was some disgusting, dirty thing in the other person's eyes?
The other person put down their teacup, and although they were sitting, they looked down at her with a condescending gaze. "I thought you were a good girl, but I didn't expect I would pick an ingrate."
Lin Xiaoxiao's brain went blank for a moment.
The middle-aged woman looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's stunned expression and sneered, "You'd better remember why I chose you from a bunch of illegitimate children. Tsk, I really didn't expect you to be so good at enduring hardship and biding your time."
Lin Xiaoxiao finally understood. The many small details from before slowly came together. No wonder the original owner didn't call to persuade her when she went out to make her way in the world, no one cared, and she didn't receive much financial support. It turned out she was an illegitimate child of a wealthy family!
It was obvious that her nominal mother suspected her of having ambitions to fight for the family fortune. Lin Xiaoxiao, a lazy bum who just wanted to live a peaceful life, didn't have that kind of burden and hurriedly waved her hands, "No..."
The lady interrupted her directly, "Some things are not for you to covet. Continue playing your useless role and get out of here. I'm annoyed just looking at you."
Lin Xiaoxiao had no chance to explain herself before the maid ushered her out.
Lin Xiaoxiao knew that the lady clearly did not believe her at all, but the lady also clearly felt that Lin Xiaoxiao could not escape the other party's grasp.
Lin Xiaoxiao gave a helpless bitter smile, then cheered herself up. She just wanted to be a useless little snack and had no ambition to fight for the family fortune. She believed that time would prove everything and that the lady would understand her sincere heart.
