Chapter 231 - Chapter 231 Chapter 231 The Necklace for the Young Girl~

Chapter 231: Chapter 231: The Necklace for the Young Girl~ Chapter 231: Chapter 231: The Necklace for the Young Girl~ After they had dinner together, Old Mrs. Mu’s driver also arrived.

Fan YuKe originally thought that this would be where she parted ways with the noblewoman.

But to her utter surprise, Old Mrs. Mu, concerned about her health, insisted on sending her home.

It was the first time Fan YuKe had been cared for so attentively because of a bout of nausea, and she couldn’t help but feel a warm glow inside, her fondness for the distinguished lady growing…

Not long after Mu Bailang had his call hung up on him, he saw the clarification statement on VB. The frustration in his chest was amplified more than a hundredfold. Aside from Yuke, no other woman had dared to treat him this way!

She didn’t want to be associated with him, but she should have asked if he was willing first.

Mu Bailang had no intention of stopping his support for her; instead, he instructed his assistant to proceed as before, continuing to promote Yuke as Shengshi Entertainment’s top star and, while at it, officially announced several new endorsements for her, sparking yet another surge of public discussion.

Netizens were stunned by this move.

One side desperately trying to clarify, the other side continuing the promotion regardless of public opinion–what was this situation?

The imaginations of netizens were boundless; they had already concocted a scenario of a playboy being rejected by a gorgeous female celebrity.

Some netizens even started shipping their “couple”…

As the rumors intensified, Fan YuKe nearly died of anger when she saw them. Shipping could be niche, but absolutely not perverse!

She wished she could terminate her contract with the company and cut ties with Mu Bailang completely, but then she remembered the huge penalty fee and had to swallow her anger.

She truly couldn’t afford to pay it!

Unable to hold back, Fan YuKe sent a message, “Mu Bailang, when did I get two more endorsement deals?!”

This time, Mu Bailang responded quickly.

“You are an artist under my company; is there a problem with the boss arranging work for you?”

Yuke was truly infuriated at that moment, yet she found nothing to rebut in his words.

“You… you are taking personal revenge! You’re doing this on purpose…”

Even through the screen, Mu Bailang could imagine her flustered appearance, which somewhat improved his mood. His thin lips curved into a devilishly charming smile.

Heh, let her call him petty!

When Mu Bailang returned to Mu Mansion that evening, he found an unexpected visitor in the European-style living room.

His handsome face showed surprise as he smiled and approached, “Grandma, what brings you here?”

After Mu Bailang became an adult and independent, he had moved out and lived separately from Old Mrs. Mu.

Hearing this, Old Mrs. Mu glared at him irritably, “You ungrateful kid, still have the nerve to ask me why I’m here. When are you going to bring a granddaughter-in-law back to me?”

Hearing this, Mu Bailang’s head began to ache as he evasively said, “Still looking. It’s just that fate hasn’t arrived yet.”

Old Mrs. Mu looked at him, thoroughly unconvinced, “It’s not that fate hasn’t arrived yet; you’re clearly trying to keep it a secret from me. Don’t think I’m unaware of what’s going on between you and Yuke. As a man, you need to take the responsibility you’re supposed to.”

Mu Bailang was taken aback, his expression subtly changing as a trace of coldness flickered in his beautiful, peach blossom eyes, “Did she come to you?”

This Fan YuKe, on the surface, acted as though she wanted nothing to do with him.

But underneath, she had actually contacted Old Mrs. Mu?

Old Mrs. Mu saw through her thoughts immediately and explained, “This has nothing to do with Yuke. The online rumors are so rampant, I just had someone look into it and found out. Alas, my health has always been poor, and now my greatest wish is to see you settle down and start a business. I think that girl Yuke is truly outstanding, you should seize the opportunity…”

Mu Bailang’s eyes churned with hidden currents, “Grandma, I have an idea about this, you don’t have to worry.”

“Do you really have it figured out?” Old Mrs. Mu was skeptical.

Mu Bailang responded with a light hum.

Finally feeling reassured, Old Mrs. Mu gave him a few more instructions before leaving the Mu Mansion.

…

At the other end, in the Imperial Capital’s Dragon Bay.

Ever since Shen Jiangqing had Su Huimiao’s support, she gained the right to occasionally visit Chengcheng and Doudou at home.

After getting home, Chengcheng recounted everything that had happened at the mall in the evening, not leaving out a single detail.

When Shen Jiangqing learned that Li Lingyang had given Ning Yichu an entire mall, her face nearly twisted with anger–she had known Li Lingyang for so long and had never been treated like that…

Jealousy and hatred crawled all over her chest, when suddenly, she noticed Doudou standing quietly on the side and a wicked idea sprung to mind. A gleam flashed in her eyes as she revealed a malevolent smile.

After eating dinner, Doudou and Chengcheng left.

On the way back to the Li Mansion–

Sitting in the back of the nanny van, Chengcheng suddenly took out a black velvet box from his backpack and handed it over.

“Doudou, this is for you.”

Doudou opened it to find a pink diamond necklace inside, which, under the refraction of the neon lights outside the window, shone with dazzling brilliance, clearly worth a fortune at a glance.

Doudou was immediately astounded and gestured with his hands, asking, “What is this?”

A gleam of sharpness quickly crossed the bottom of Chengcheng’s eyes as he feigned innocence, “Doudou, I think this necklace is very suitable for Ningning, and I want to give it to her, but as you know, she and her brother don’t like me. If I go and give it to them, they will definitely refuse it, so… I was thinking of using your name to give it to her, is that okay?”

Because Chengcheng was a boy, he was especially favored by Su Huimiao, so having such a necklace was not an unusual thing.

Hearing this, Doudou felt something strange inside and frowned slightly.

“But brother, if I give it in my name, then they won’t realize your good intentions, right?”

“It’s okay,” Chengcheng smiled indifferently, “I just think the necklace suits Ningning, I’m not looking for anything in return, so Doudou, can you help your brother?”

Doudou, eager for his brother to get closer to Ningning and for their relationship to improve, naively agreed, “Of course I can.”

Chengcheng revealed a triumphant smile, “Thank you, Doudou, you’re really kind.”

The next day at kindergarten during break time, Doudou gave the necklace to Ningning.

Although Ningning was young, she recognized the value of the pink diamond at once and shook her head quickly, “No Doudou, I appreciate your kindness, but this necklace is too valuable, I can’t accept it.”

“It’s okay, as long as you like it, Ningning.” Besides, it was his brother’s intention, and it absolutely could not be wasted.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Ningning couldn’t resist her and revealed a sweet smile, accepting it, “Alright then, thank you Doudou. When I have a beautiful piece of jewelry in the future, I’ll give it to you first!”

“Mm-hmm,” Doudou nodded happily and gestured with his hands, “Let me put it on for you!”

“Okay.”

Ningning was wearing a milk-white lace dress today. With the addition of the pink diamond necklace, she looked like a noble little princess, both exquisite and stylish.
