Chapter 152 Mr. Huo is Jealous

Chapter 152 Mr. Huo is Jealous

The commotion on set forced the shooting to come to a halt.

Yun Mu packed her things and prepared to return to the capital with Huo Tingying. Just as she was about to get into the car, she noticed Qin Ming standing nearby, seemingly waiting for her.

"Teacher Qin, do you need something?"

Yun Mu limped over.

Qin Ming first glanced at her foot. "Is your injury okay?"

Yun Mu shook her head. "It will heal in a few days."

"Bones take a hundred days to heal; you might not be able to engage in strenuous activities for a while."

Yun Mu thought he was worried about delaying the shoot. "It's fine; I'm just a stand-in, and there aren't many scenes with me, so it won't delay the shooting..."

"That's not what I meant," Qin Ming frowned. "Don't you want to be the lead actress?"

Yun Mu was taken aback.

This young man, despite his age, had sharp eyes.

He had seen through her long-held ambition!

"Yun Shuiyao has caused such a scandal; she can forget about acting or even staying in the entertainment industry. If you have any aspirations to move forward, I can put in a good word for you with Director An."

Seeing that she seemed distracted, Qin Ming added, "Of course, if you don't have those ambitions, then forget what I said."

"Thank you, I'll think about it." Yun Mu smiled.

"Good, then I wish you a speedy recovery."

Qin Ming smiled gently, like the warm sun of spring.

Yun Mu got into the car and saw Huo Tingying glaring at her, then turning away without a word.

"What's wrong?" Yun Mu asked tentatively.

Feng Shuo remained silent, starting the car without a word.

Huo Tingying looked at Yun Mu with a frown. "What's up with that pretty boy outside?"

"You mean Qin Ming? He's the male lead of this drama, an idol-turned-actor. He's quite handsome, and his previous works have been well-received. Plus, he's still young, so he has a bright future ahead."

As Yun Mu recalled the information she had memorized, she described him.

She only wanted to introduce him, but with each sentence, Huo Tingying's face darkened further.

"Handsome?" Huo Tingying repeated Yun Mu's words.

Yun Mu nodded. "Yes, he has a lot of fans."

"Young?" Huo Tingying continued.

Yun Mu nodded again. "Just 23 years old, definitely young."

"Do you admire him?" Huo Tingying's voice was thin and cold, his mood unpredictable.

"Well, he just told me he could recommend me for the lead role. Do you think he has mind-reading abilities? Or is my desire to replace Yun Shuiyao that obvious?"

"You two really are on the same wavelength!" Huo Tingying almost growled, seething with jealousy.

Yun Mu finally understood why he had been sulking earlier.

However, seeing him so angry yet trying to act cool was... kind of cute.

"Huh? Feng Shuo, did you drink some vinegar in the car? Why does it smell so sour?" Yun Mu teased, feeling delighted inside.

Feng Shuo held back a laugh. "Young Lady, I didn't drink any vinegar."

"Oh, so it must be coming from Mr. Huo." Yun Mu grinned and leaned closer. "Mr. Huo, are you jealous?"

Huo Tingying awkwardly turned her face away.

"Jealous? Of whom? That twenty-something-year-old who has nothing but a pretty face to attract attention?"

This man really talks tough but acts differently!

Yun Mu couldn't help but smile widely, wanting to tease him more.

"Actually, he's not completely empty-handed. I heard his family background is good, and these days, celebrities earn a lot. At his age, he's already achieved a lot. And he's fresh!"

"It seems current aesthetics are seriously skewed; the entertainment industry needs a good cleanup." Huo Tingying said coldly.

Yun Mu teased him deliberately. "You wouldn't use your power to blacklist him, would you?"

"What? You care?" Huo Tingying suddenly turned to her, gritting his teeth.

This fickle and ungrateful girl!

Even raising a chubby cat would be more loyal than her!

"I don't care, but Wen Qingqing might fight you to the death."

"Wen Qingqing?"

Yun Mu smiled and nodded. "Yes, after spending time together, Wen Qingqing has become Qin Ming's biggest fan. She adores him."

Huo Tingying's sullen expression vanished instantly.

He coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. "Is Wen Qingqing that short on money? Doesn't she know she needs glasses?"

Yun Mu almost burst out laughing.

"Enough joking around. You said you want to send Yun Shuiyao to the sanatorium this time. Are you trying to lure out the person behind her?"

Huo Tingying gave a faint nod.

Yun Mu suddenly felt a warmth in her heart. This was something she had always wanted to do but hadn't had the chance to arrange yet. She didn't expect Huo Tingying to have already taken care of it for her.

Despite his busy schedule and numerous responsibilities, he still found time to help her with these matters...

"When did you start suspecting that Yun Shuiyao was connected to that sanatorium?"

Huo Tingying narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at her. "Do you think only you have a brain?"

A black line appeared on Yun Mu's forehead. Indeed, she couldn't expect anything nice from this man.

"So what are your plans next? Can you at least tell me that?"

"Sure, ask whatever you want, and I'll tell you everything." Huo Tingying's lips curved upward, as if he had been waiting for her to say this.

He wouldn't tell Yun Mu how long he had been waiting for this moment.

Although he didn't know what Yun Mu had gone through in the past, he knew that this woman was used to fighting alone, charging into battle without relying on anyone.

He wanted Yun Mu, not just her person, but also her dependence on him.

So he had to guide her step by step, gradually leading her into his "trap."

He wanted this woman to see clearly how important he was to her!

To win over a woman, Huo Tingying was even using military strategies.

"Since Yun Shuiyao is connected to the sanatorium, she must know what kind of hell it is. She won't go quietly. I'm sure she will take action soon. This is our chance to catch the person behind her."

"And... when she replaced the real Yun Shuiyao, she was only five or six years old. The person behind her must be quite capable to have fooled Yun Tingying's eyes. They went to great lengths to send her to the Yun family. What could their purpose be?"

The more Huo Tingying spoke, the colder and stiffer Yun Mu's body became.

It was like a sudden realization!

She had always been focused on avenging Yun Xiaoshua, with all her attention on Yun Shuiyao, blinded by her own involvement.

But she never imagined that the conspiracy behind it might be far greater than she thought!

If not for Huo Tingying pointing it out today, she wouldn't have realized this anytime soon.

The female warrior couldn't help but doubt herself—was she really not very smart?
