Dressed as the Film Emperor’s Fiancée - Chapter 12

Mu Lan

Walking out of the community, Yu Mian stood at the door with an umbrella. Even after waiting for ten minutes, she didn’t see a taxi. Instead, he encountered several luxury cars coming out of it.

It was too early, the weather  was not good and above that it was Sunday. Usually everyone sleeps on rainy days and no one wants to leave the house.

A luxury car drove by, Yu Mian gave way in the side for it to pass by, fearing that the mud from the wheels would splash on her shoes.

The car drove slowly, but when it passing by her, it suddenly slowed down, and finally stopped by the side.

The car window rolled down, revealing a young girl’s face, and with a half smile she said: “Oh, isn’t this Yu MianMian? Are you trying to drive home?”

Yu Mian blinked, looking at her inexplicably , The moment she saw the girl, she recognized the identity of the other party.

This person is Mu Lan, the daughter of the Mu family next door. She has not much interaction with Yu MianMian. Mu Lan is very famous in her own circle. She has an outstanding appearance and good manners. She graduated from an international higher art school.

When Yu Mian was brought home, she followed her father to attend several banquets. One of the banquets was Mu Lan’s birthday party. Mu Lan, who was then thirteen years old, wore a gorgeous little dress with a diamond crown, her head held high, surrounded by everyone, as if she really was a Princess of somewhere above.

Yu Mian was only ten years old at the time. It was the first time she met a wealthy family. She saw such a scene for the first time. Her heart that was already inferior and cowardly became even more distorted and humble.

She also tried to fit into the circle of wealthy daughters, but she found that the proud girls disdain to even interact with her. This kind of disdain habit was in their bones craved in, them not even trying to conceal them, was even very obvious.

Mu Lan is the best among all of those rich daughters, she even look down on the daughter of a nouveau riche like her. Apart from knowing each other, the two have basically no friendship.

Yu Mian couldn’t figure out why Mu Lan deliberately stopped specially and mocked her in a taunting tone.

She seems to have no holidays, right?

“Hello, yes, I’m going home.”

Yu Mian ignored the other’s yin and yang strange tone, and replied in a polite tone.

Not seeing her angry yet anxious look, an surprised look flashed by Mu Lan’s eyes. She looked up and down at Yu Mian, half-covered her lips and smiled: “I heard that because you lost too much weight, you had to visit hospital for chasing an idol?”

Sure enough , This matter has spread quite far enough.

This question was a bit embarrassing, Yu Mian pursed the corners of her mouth and made no sound.

The other party didn’t seem to need her answer, and said to herself: “Those idols, are all those who deceive little girls. You can just check them out normally. Why are you so obsessed?”

Yu Mian frowned, even though she knew that Mu Lan was talking about Chu Yan, she was very unhappy when she heard this. Lin Jianshen, whom she likes, is also an actor, and Mu Lan slandered her celebrity like this, still made her feel angry.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Since Miss Mu thinks it’s not worth it, what do you think is worth it?”

Mu Lan glanced at her, with a hint of bragging in her eyes, and said: “The entertainment industry is very messy, the Chu Yan you like. In private they might be different, but there are also some good entertainers, such as actor Lin Jianshen, who are low-key, dedicated and serious, doesn’t engage in scandals, are very rare. “

Yu Mian:” …… ” I made a mistake, this person seems to be my allies.

Facing this dramatic scene, Yu Mian held back for a long time, her small face flushed red, she resisted hard not to laugh in front of Mu Lan.

Seeing Yu Mian didn’t said a word and didn’t mean to agree at all, Mu Lan raised her chin arrogantly, and snorted coldly: “It seems that the eyes of you little girls will never get higher no matter what, what a waste of time!”

Listening to her saying this, Yu Mian said hurriedly: “No…I just think you are too right, Lin Jianshen is indeed very good.”

“Huh?” Mu Lan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Yu Mian nodded hurriedly, with a sincere expression on her face.

Seeing that the look on her face didn’t seem to be fake, Mu Lan noded with satisfaction, the original vague contempt dissipated instantly, as if she felt that she was good enough, Mu Lan said in a charity tone: “Where are you going? If you want, I will give you a ride.”

If you still can’t see it now, this Miss Mu Lan is actually a fan like her, and Yu Mian can really say that there is something wrong with her eyes.

Since they are all idol fans, Yu Mian doesn’t feel annoyed by Mu Lan. On the contrary, she looks more pleasing to her eyes. Even if Miss Mu looks down on people’s arrogance, Yu Mian can understand it. It is totally normal, after all, she was a wealthy miss.

It has been a long time she waited for a Taxi, Yu Mian thought about it, and got in My Lan’s car.

Pulling the car door open to put away the umbrella, she got into the back seat, Yu Mian gratefully said to Mu Lan, “Then I will trouble you, just send me to the city center.”

Later she arrive in the city center, she will take a taxi to go home by herself.

“Okay.” Mu Lan took out a dry towel out from nowhere, and handed it over, “wipe your hair, it’s all wet.”

She must have wet herself when she was going to enter in the car just now, Yu Mian took it and smiled suddenly said: “Your attitude has become good, a bit faster.”

Mu Lan, who was looking at her, had a stiff face, and coughed as if to cover up: “I think you are not hopeless. I appreciate people who know that they are wrong and can correct themselves.” After a pause, she added, “You are now much more pleasing than before.”

Yu Mian looked at her with a smile, and said noncommittal: “Really?”

In her heart, she realized that it seems that Mu Lan and those young ladies were repelling the original owner, was because not only out of the contempt for her identity, but probably because of the character of the original owner.

Thinking about it now, she knows that no matter who it is, she will not like people who are sensitive and inferior, and act like people who are deeply bitter and hated, as if the whole world owes her.

Mu Lan said with a serious face, “Of course, I’m not like you, I don’t do boring things like chasing stars.”

Seeing her pretending and sneering, Yu Mian wanted to laugh a little, but squeezed herself hard. She couldn’t control the corners of her lips, but she didn’t refute Mu Lan’s words.

“Well, chasing stars is really boring, I won’t do it anymore.”

Mu Lan snorted proudly: “You can learn from me.”

After the car started, the two were not familiar with each other before, the atmosphere become a bit awkward at first. But when Yu Mian mentioned Lin Jianshen intentionally or unintentionally, Mu Lan dropped the pretense of restraint and opened the chattering box on.

Along the way, Mu Lan is considered to be a fun person. She might be a real *Bai Fu Mei having a little temperament with a little arrogance, but she has a good self-cultivation and was very well-mannered.

Yu Mian also understood the reason why she mocked her in the first place. In fact, she even couldn’t bear to be a Chu Yan fan. Lin Jianshen’s fans and Chu Yan’s fans had been at odds for a long time. With Mu Lan’s temper, she just mocked her verbally, but didn’t follow up. It’s already good enough.

However, in the car, Yu Mian did not take the initiative to expose her. In order to maintain her noble and glamorous image, the eldest lady refused to admit that she was also a star chaser.

While talking about idols in Amway’s tone, she said indifferently, “I don’t chase stars, I just talk about my views on the entertainment industry”, which sounded quite interesting to listen to.

Soon after arriving in the city center, according to the previous words, Yu Mian picked a place to get off.

They didn’t know when the rain stopped, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated a bit, and the ground was still wet with water stains.

Yu Mian waved at the car window: “Goodbye, Miss Mu.”

Mu Lan said casually: “Goodbye.” Looking at her again, she said awkwardly, “You are alone, go home early.”

Yu Mian’s heart warmed. She bent her eyes, raised a smile, “Okay, thank you.”

Watching the vehicle go away, Yu Mian stopped a rental car on the side of the road and reported an address.

Her original home is in the old city, some distance from the city center. X city is a first-tier city. The old city and the current Yu’s house are almost in two different directions.

After 20 minutes later, she got off the bus, standing on the familiar street, she swept her eyes around and watched the scenery where she stayed in past 20 years. She sighed slightly.

She doesn’t know if it was too early or just Yu Mian came early. When she returned to her community downstairs, many old people who do exercise in the early morning could be seen.

There was no elevator in the old community. She climbed three floors and stood in front of her closed iron door, only to realize that she now has no keys.

She stood in a daze for a while, when suddenly there was a “click” behind her, and a clear male voice came into her ears.

“Who are you looking for?”

Yu Mian turned her head to look, the door next room was half-open, the boy was wearing a white shirt and a gray wool vest. His black hair was on his forehead, his brows were handsome, and his eyes were as soft as bright moonlight.

*Bai Fu Mei (白富美 – Literally “Fair, rich, and beautiful” )
Basically referring to those rich, fair and beautiful ladies of wealthy families.
