Chapter 226: Mu Sheng Is Mesmerized by Li Hanchen

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Television dramas were usually filmed and fully produced before they got aired. However, “Song of Youth” did the opposite and was aired after partial filming so that they could make adjustments to the script based on the market reaction.

“Song of Youth” was a television drama based on a popular novel with a massive following. The moment the show aired, it was the talk of the town.

It was a story about school life 20 years ago, and the production team did a good job producing the set.

The sound of insects chirping in the summer could be heard before young and energetic students came into sight.

A teacher stood on the podium teaching fervently in the noisy classroom. The audience instantly felt immersed in the youthful bubbly atmosphere.

Ruan Yingying and Qiao Siyu were the male and female leads of the television drama.

The instant Qiao Siyu appeared dressed in a white school uniform riding a bike, everyone turned to look.

Ruan Yingying was standing in the crowd dressed in a long white skirt. A soft breeze swept in the air before she smiled and made eye contact with Qiao Siyu.

[Not bad. It feels just like the book. Not bad at all! I was worried about Ruan Yingying’s acting skills. Judging from this image, I think it should be okay.]

[It has stolen my heart! Qiao Siyu is gorgeous. He looked just like what I expected of the male lead!]

[Isn’t Mu Sheng on the show as well? I watched “A Journey Through Food” and fell in love with her, so I came to follow her on the drama.]

[Are you nuts? Mu Sheng is just a third-rate supporting actress. Keep your mouth shut. This is Ruan Yingying’s drama, okay?]

Since Ruan Yingying was the female lead, Mu Sheng’s fans stopped talking about it online and quietly waited for Mu Sheng to appear.

After waiting all night, Mu Sheng did not appear.

Meanwhile, at the live telecast channel.

Some people asked when Mu Sheng would appear on the show.

Mu Sheng was taking a break from gaming when she said, “Maybe in three days. After all, my part was minor.”

[I will wait for it! I saw the production photos. It looks lovely. I am sure we won’t be disappointed.]

[Smirk… Considering Mu Sheng’s acting skills… She is just good at gaming. As for acting, she can forget about it.]

Mu Sheng turned off the live telecast at 11:00 pm and logged into her bank account.

She checked digit by digit the amount of money she had left…

After checking, Mu Sheng felt she was impoverished. Why was it so hard to make money?

“A Journey Through Food” might be a hit, but Mu Sheng could not get any money for it until it was done filming.

How could she make money?

Mu Sheng randomly surfed online until a piece of news at the bottom of the internet browser caught her attention.

Since they were in an internet era, the internet was a big part of everyone’s lives, so internet security became a top priority.

Masters of hacking had become highly sought-after commodities.

Every year, an international hacking competition called PW Hacking Tournament was held for the sake of finding new talent, and it came with a generous reward.

This year, the top prize was $3,000,000.

Mu Sheng’s eyes gleamed slightly. She checked online to find out how to take part in the PW Hacking Tournament.

Since it was a hacking competition, the process of signing up wasn’t as straightforward as usual.

The official organizer neither announced how hackers could participate in the competition nor had any online presence. People interested in taking part had to find this information online on their own.

Mu Sheng tapped on the keyboard for nearly three minutes before she located a hidden website.

Mu Sheng tapped into the web page and registered herself as M before signing up for the competition.

After the system confirmed her application, Mu Sheng turned off the website and went to bed.

Mu Sheng did not realize she was the only person signing up for the competition solo.

Since details of all the applicants were visible to the public, the hacking world went abuzz while Mu Sheng slept.

PW Hacking Tournament had been held for 50 years, so it was a world-class hacking competition.

Since internet technology was very advanced in this day and age, only the best in the industry took part in the PW Hacking Tournament. No average hacker would have the courage to sign up.

Each round was grueling, and the finals were based on JAD, so the participants had to perform real-world hacking.

Considering the level of difficulty involved, everyone participated in teams.

The rules did not specify people could not compete solo, but no one had done it all these years.

People signing up for the competition wanted to go home with results and make a name for themselves in the industry, so no one was stupid enough to go solo.

However, three minutes before the closing date was due today, someone from China had created an account and signed up to compete solo.

[Huh? Are you for real? Is he waiting to get eliminated in the first round? Is he really a hacking legend with a low profile?]

[Come on, dude! All the good hackers from China are already in another team. None of them signed up solo. This person probably made a mistake when he signed up.]

[I have never heard of M before, so you are probably right. Anyone with the guts to sign up for PW Hacking Tournament solo ought to be famous by now. How could we only find out now?]

Initially, everyone felt shocked when they saw the unknown contestant. They gradually convinced themselves that M probably wasn’t a good hacker.

Meanwhile, at the Li residence.

Li Ming narrowed his eyes when he heard his subordinate’s report. “Does Li Hanchen have a lot of secret guards working for him?”

“That’s right. I investigated where they came from, but nothing came of it.”

“Okay.” A suspicious look swept across Li Ming’s eyes after hanging up the phone.

Li Ming could not help feeling worried. Even though Li Hanchen was just a sick useless man on the surface, his recent reaction felt strange.

Li Ming knew what the police were capable of. They were very good at their job, but they were unable to find out more about Li Hanchen’s secret guards.

That meant only one thing. Li Hanchen’s backer was far stronger than he could ever imagine.

Li Ming’s hair stood just thinking about this. He called his assistant to come in. “Find out who Li Hanchen’s villa belongs to.”

“Yes, Mr. Li.”

After the assistant left, Li Ming’s phone rang while he thought about Li Hanchen’s background.

Li Ming glanced at the phone and looked annoyed, but he answered the phone anyway. “Why aren’t you sleeping at this hour? What do you want?”

Mu Xiao choked when she heard Li Ming’s tone. She forced a smile. “Ming, tomorrow is my birthday. Don’t you remember?”

Since Li Ming had been busy with work, he completely forgot about this. He instantly felt bad about forgetting and sounded a little gentler over the phone. “Of course, I remember. I already booked the restaurant. I will come by and pick you up tomorrow.”

Mu Xiao said gently over the phone, “Sure, Ming. I will be waiting for you.”

A determined look swept across Mu Xiao’s eyes when she heard what Li Ming said.

Mu Xiao knew Li Ming well, so she knew where Li Ming would take her tomorrow. Even though it was already 12:00 am, Mu Xiao was not tired at all and proceeded to make almost ten phone calls.

By the time she finished making all the arrangements, it was already 1:30 am. Mu Xiao yawned and lay down to sleep.

——

The next morning, Mu Sheng received a text message from Mu Xiao.

[Sheng, it’s my birthday today. I am holding a party at Blue Bay. Can you come?]

Mu Sheng was not interested at all. Just as she was about to delete the message, she received another text message from Mu Xiao.

[Haven’t you always wanted to know why our father isn’t good to you? There has always been a reason for this. If you come, I will tell you why.]

If it were the original owner of the body, she would probably want to know. However, Mu Sheng was now the owner of this body.

She was not interested in the Mu family or Mu Xiao’s invitation to dinner.

Since eating was an enjoyable affair for her, she felt it was a sheer waste to dine with someone as annoying as Mu Xiao.

Mu Sheng had no intention of going, but she sent Mu Xiao a text message.

[What time is it?]

[7:00 pm tonight. Be punctual, okay?]

Mu Sheng tapped on the screen. [Sure. I will be on time.]

After replying, Mu Sheng deleted Mu Xiao’s phone number and got out of bed to wash up.

Li An was sitting downstairs in the dining room eyeing the crab buns. “Big Bro, when will Sis-in-Law come downstairs?”

Li Hanchen was wearing a pair of spectacles. He answered as he read the newspaper without raising his head, “If you can’t wait, you can do your homework first.”

Li An went speechless and secretly pursed his lips.

Oh god. Was this his biological older brother? How could he make his little brother do homework on an empty stomach first thing in the morning? He was absolutely heartless.

“I am famished,” muttered Li An for the tenth time before Mu Sheng finally came downstairs.

Li An’s eyes instantly lit up. “Sis-in-Law, hurry up. I am dying of hunger.”

Li Hanchen raised his head slightly and frowned a little. Why did he have a feeling that something was wrong with Mu Sheng?

Li Hanchen put down the paper. “Are you okay?”

Mu Sheng’s eyes glinted briefly. “I’m fine. Let’s eat.”

Li Hanchen did not remove his glasses and kept them on as they had breakfast.

He was dressed in a fine black suit and had buttoned his white shirt all the way up to the collar. He looked utterly sexy.

Also, he was wearing a pair of gold-framed spectacles which brought out his flawless face and made him even more professional-looking and composed.

After Mu Sheng took two bites of her bun, she finally asked, “Can you take off the spectacles?”

Li Hanchen turned with light reflecting off his glasses. “What’s wrong?”

“It’s bad for your eyes. Why don’t you take them off?” said Mu Sheng as she made a random excuse.

Li Hanchen nodded before taking the spectacles off. “I won’t wear them from now on.”

Mu Sheng heaved a sigh of relief inside when he looked normal again.

In her past life, Mu Sheng did not have any contact with the outside world except for one thing.

The person who renovated her room seemed to like manga.

There was a faint manga drawing on the wall against Mu Sheng’s bed. It was not colored and looked like just a simple sketch.

Mu Sheng felt the person who renovated her room simply drew it randomly.

It was a drawing of a man’s profile with spectacles on. Since Mu Sheng was accustomed to seeing it, she did not feel anything amiss about it.

Over time, Mu Sheng felt relaxed whenever she looked at it since her job as a scientist tended to be dull and repetitive.

A thought suddenly crossed her mind when she came downstairs and saw Li Hanchen’s profile from the distance.

Li Hanchen was a good-looking man to begin with. He reminded Mu Sheng of the manga drawing by her bed and the drawing had affected her deeply.

He was gorgeous. He was so hot that Mu Sheng felt uneasy looking at him.

After breakfast, Mu Sheng wanted to leave.

“Let me send you.” Li Hanchen followed behind her.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind when they got to the door. Li Hanchen turned to say to Auntie Lin, “Put away all the glasses I have.”

“Okay.” Auntie Lin nodded before she put Li Hanchen’s spectacles into storage.

Mu Sheng pursed her lips hesitantly but did not tell the truth.

Li Hanchen frowned when he noticed her hesitance. “Are you sick?”

Mu Sheng shook her head. “I’m fine. Let’s go.”

“Uh huh.”

Li Hanchen sent Mu Sheng to Cat Live’s entrance before heading to Flourishing Age Group.

Meanwhile, at Cat Live’s entrance.

All the management was waiting for Mu Sheng anxiously. The moment they saw Mu Sheng get off the car, they encircled her like a pack of hungry wolves.

“Sheng, you are finally here. We have been waiting all day.”

“Uh huh. Come on. Let’s go get your face done and I will notify them to get ready.”

Before filming for “A Journey Through Food” commenced, Mu Sheng had promised Cat Live she would attend a live celebrity gaming event.

Mu Sheng was about to go backstage with the employees when Jiang Tian’s penetrating shout came from behind out of the blue. “My dear! Hang on!”

Mu Sheng turned to see Jiang Tian running towards her with Tang Tiantian gasping behind him.

“What?” Mu Sheng glanced at Jiang Tian quizzically.

“We need to take you to get styled. How could you appear on the event dressed in this?” Jiang Tian glanced at Mu Sheng’s coat and pants in disdain.

Even though Mu Sheng was like a supermodel, and the clothes looked good, she was attending an official event.

This was simply not good enough! If people did not know better, they would think the talent agency was too broke to pay for her outfit.

Mu Sheng had never been a celebrity before and did not care about her clothes. Since Jiang Tian was the expert here, she did not argue. “What should I wear?”

Jiang Tian looked at the Cat Live employees. “How much more time before the event starts?”

“An hour.”

“That’s more than enough time,” said Jiang Tian as he led Mu Sheng away. “We will come back in time. I am taking Mu Sheng with me.”

Cat Live’s management looked at each other. Since Jian Tian had already taken Mu Sheng, there was nothing they could do but wait.

Tang Tiantian glanced at Mu Sheng’s outfit and felt puzzled. “Tian, Sheng looks good in anything. Also, isn’t it an offline gaming event? Does she need to dress well for it? Isn’t it just gaming?”

Jiang Tian shook his head as he steered the car. “Things are different now. If Sheng wasn’t God Mu, it would be fine to come dressed low key.

“Now that Mu Sheng is God Mu, no one would doubt her gaming skills. In that case, no one would doubt her even if she came well dressed. Instead, it would even become the highlight of the event.

“Also, she has gained fans from ‘A Journey Through Food’, so we have to strike the iron while it is hot and stabilize her newfound popularity.”

Tang Tiantian did not answer for some time, so Jiang Tian glanced into the rearview mirror quizzically and caught Tang Tiantian staring at him in shock.

Moments later, Tang Tiantian slapped her thigh. “Tian, every day I learn new things about you!”

Was he still the same frivolous boss she used to know?

Jiang Tian sneered, “That goes without saying. Can you find a cooler boss than me?”

Tang Tiantian went speechless. Any day Jiang Tian would stop acting cocky, he would be someone she could idolize.

Jiang Tian drove deep Into an alley before parking the car at a traditional-looking building.

“Let’s go.’ Jiang Tian opened the car door and gestured for Mu Sheng to enter.

“Where are we?”

“This is a shop that specializes in making gowns. you can leave your clothes with the shopkeeper first.” Jiang Tian took Mu Sheng into the boutique.

There was a huge yard behind the main entrance, and it was filled with all kinds of fabric and products.

The fair man walked out and glanced at Jiang Tian before handing Jiang Tian a box. “The dress is ready. The changing room is over there. You can check it and pay in front if you are happy with it.”

“Got it. Thanks.” Jiang Tian nodded to the man before turning to look at Tang Tiantian. “Take Sheng to get changed. There are professional makeup artists in the changing room. Just help her.”

“Sure thing!” Tang Tiantian took the box and led Mu Sheng to the changing room.

Since some time was needed for her to get her hair and makeup done, Jiang Tian strolled in the yard while he waited.

Tang Tiantian could be heard shouting in shock nearby 30 minutes later, “Oh god!”

Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted

全能夫人被宠成了小娇娇
Status: Ongoing Author:

Mu Sheng had researched quantum mechanics and engineered cross-sea bridges in her past life. However, she became a small-time celebrity plagued with a bad image overnight. This sad foolish woman was made to marry a sick man to counteract his bad luck. Even when her kidney and marrow were taken from her, she was glad to help. Memories of how her body's original owner sacrificed everything for a scum flooded Mu Sheng’s mind, making her eyes roll.

The news exploded in the entertainment industry. Mu Sheng performed a 1440 degree somersault when she skied on an entertainment program and left everyone awestruck. The anti-fans felt she must have edited the image or hired a stunt double. Two weeks later, the International Ski Federation invited her to join them as a lifetime member. In time, government research, hacking, calligraphy and brush painting, and music associations all reached out for her to join their ranks one after another.

So what? She ended up marrying a useless man who was on the brink of death and would become a widow in a matter of time. Things did not quite play out as everyone expected. The useless Mr. Li did not die and ended up healthier than ever. He even shockingly turned out to be a mysterious big shot in the corporate world. Mu Sheng did not wind up a widow and Mr Li. loved her to bits.

Mu Sheng glanced at a man. “Now that you have been healed, can you sign the divorce agreement?”

Li Hanchen smiled. “There’s one more thing you haven’t healed.”

Mu Sheng frowned. “Are you still unwell?”

Li Hanchen said, “I love you to death and there’s no cure for it.”

He had found a ray of hope amid the darkness and her name was Mu Sheng.
