Chapter 302 Act Your Part Well

Chapter 302 Act Your Part Well

Yun Mu pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, "Is this the reason you didn't want me to go live?"

Wen Qingqing nodded, "The day after your divorce, Emperor Group released a statement announcing that you were divorced. Then Huo Tingying started attending events with that woman. You just didn't know because you haven't been on your phone or the internet these past few days."

The news of Yun Mu's divorce from Huo Tingying is still trending, and as high as she was once praised, now she is being ridiculed across the entire web.

Yun Mu curled her lips but said nothing.

Seeing how calm she was, Wen Qingqing grew even more worried, "Yun Mu, why don't we go on a trip? Maybe by the time we return, everyone will have forgotten about it."

"It's no use," Yun Mu shook her head, the sadness in her eyes impossible to hide, "I can't hide forever. Besides, he doesn't seem to care about showing off his new girlfriend so openly. Why should I hide?"

She had no regrets about this relationship.

Since it's over, let it be.

"Yun Mu..."

Yun Mu stood up, "I'm going back to sleep. Don't worry, I won't do anything foolish. You can start booking work for me; we can't just sit around doing nothing."

Wen Qingqing watched her enter the room without saying much more, then went out to the balcony with her phone to start contacting people about work.

Huo Tingying drove A'Ling back to Yunzhe's laboratory, parking outside without turning off the engine, clearly not intending to get out.

A'Ling unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the door, and before getting out, turned back to Huo Tingying, "Cousin, aren't you coming in for a bit? Mr. Si said your condition can't be delayed..."

"Next time," Huo Tingying interrupted her, "I've been busy lately, no time."

A'Ling's eyes dimmed slightly—was it lack of time, or had he lost all hope and didn't want treatment anymore?

But she didn't dare say more in front of Huo Tingying, only nodding, "Alright, cousin, drive carefully."

She bent down to exit the car.

Huo Tingying coldly said, "Call me by my name in the future, not cousin. Act your part well!"

Then he started the car and left.

A'Ling watched him drive away, her face filled with sorrow as she turned and entered the laboratory.

...

Huo Tingying pressed the accelerator, driving his luxury car to Lishui Villa, the new villa Yun Mu had recently purchased.

This villa was actually chosen by him, and he arranged for it to be sold to her at the lowest price, covering the difference himself. He also personally selected the furniture inside, knowing what kind of house Yun Mu liked.

The car window slowly rolled down, and he looked up. The curtains on the second-floor window were drawn, and they hadn't been open in recent days.

Huo Tingying leaned back in his chair, feeling a sense of peace while quietly waiting downstairs.

These past few days, returning to the large house and smelling the familiar scent she left behind made him feel even lonelier.

Occasionally, he seemed to see her lingering presence, as if she had never left.

He and A'Ling's news had been out for days, yet she hadn't responded at all.

How has she been these past few days? Is she still crying alone?

And then he realized he was thinking too much.

The melodious ringtone of his phone broke the silence; it was Feng Shuo calling.

Huo Tingying answered the call, and Feng Shuo reported, "Young Master, we just received word. Wen Qingqing has booked new work for Madam. She has already booked a flight and will be flying to M Country in two days to shoot an advertisement."

Huo Tingying held the phone tightly, giving a self-mocking smile.

He really was worrying too much. That woman, once she made up her mind, wouldn't hesitate. How could she be devastated and hiding at home crying over him?

In such a short time, she had already arranged new work and was heading to M Country to start a new life!

"With whom is she shooting the advertisement?"

Feng Shuo paused, cautiously answering, "Qin Ming."

Qin Ming?

Again, Qin Ming?

Huo Tingying threw his phone onto the passenger seat, his chest heaving. His already bloodshot eyes turned even redder, filled with a chilling coldness.

There are so many male celebrities in the entertainment industry. Why does she insist on working with Qin Ming again and again?

Does she think she can't work in the entertainment industry without that man?

As his emotions surged, the sensation of coldness and weakness washed over him again. He gritted his teeth to keep from crying out in pain, quickly taking several painkillers and leaning against the steering wheel, enduring the agony.

...

Inside the villa upstairs.

Yun Mu took a shower, dried her hair, and sat on the sofa with Wen Qingqing to discuss work.

"DR Jewelry? Are you sure they want to collaborate with me?"

Wen Qingqing nodded, "Absolutely!"

"I'm currently being ridiculed by everyone. Many producers in the country won't even consider me for roles. Are you sure they want me as their spokesperson?" Yun Mu found it hard to believe.

Wen Qingqing smiled. "You have no idea how valuable you are! The drama you did with Qin Ming was a huge hit in M country, completely opening up your market. This jewelry brand is top-tier globally, and they're interested in you and Qin Ming because of your on-screen chemistry. They want to sign both of you as global ambassadors."

Yunzhe had heard a little about the prestigious jewelry brand DR.

Every season, their new collections would stun the jewelry world and be snatched up by socialites and wealthy women like a whirlwind.

Endorsing such a top-tier luxury brand was something countless celebrities would fight tooth and nail for.

Yunzhe hesitated. "Again with Qin Ming? That doesn't seem quite right."

"What's the problem? It's common in the entertainment industry to do joint promotions. It's just an endorsement, not a fake relationship!" Wen Qingqing said. "I've already booked our flights. We'll fly to M country together the day after tomorrow to discuss it with the brand. If it's a good fit, we can sign the contract then; there's no guarantee we'll actually collaborate."

Yunzhe nodded. "Alright."

As they were talking, Yunzhe's phone rang.

"Hello?"

Yunzhe's voice came through. "Are you busy?"

"No, what's up?" Yunzhe asked.

"It's the old lady. She recently acquired a new painting and wants to invite you over to appreciate it. Do you have time?"

There was no need to guess; the old lady must have seen the news and worried that Yunzhe was feeling down after the divorce, so she used the excuse of appreciating a new painting to invite her over to cheer her up.

Yunzhe couldn't bear to refuse the elderly woman's kindness and agreed. "I have time. I'll come over later."

"No need. The old lady ordered me to pick you up personally. I heard you moved. Give me your new address."

"Alright."

Yunzhe sent the location over.
