The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback

Chapter 605 - 606: Trouble’s Coming

As they made rounds, Yu Siqiao would lean in and quietly tell her which people to disregard, which ones they might have frequent contact with in the future, what kind of relationships they held, or the status someone had within the company, explaining each to Mo Shu with clarity.

Mo Shu always had a good memory, but even so, her face was nearly stiff from all the smiling by the time they made one full circuit.

"Cousin!" A sweet voice suddenly appeared behind them.

Yu Siqiao obviously recognized the sound and, without a change in expression, whispered to Mo Shu, "My aunt’s daughter."

She quickly approached them.

"Wow, cousin-in-law, you’re so pretty!" The girl was dressed sweetly, giving off a much younger vibe overall.

At first glance, she looked like a little girl of about eighteen or nineteen, but when you saw her face, she seemed somewhat mature.

Her face was somewhat square, a classic guó (国) character face, with small eyes and an equally small nose, but her smile was sweet.

"Cousin-in-law, nice to meet you. I’ve heard so much about you. Everyone says Princess Mo is stunningly beautiful, absolutely peerless, just like a Heavenly Immortal stepping out of a painting. I never believed it before, but now I do. You’re really beautiful!" The cousin was all smiles, and although her words were full of praise, there wasn’t much sincerity behind them.

Such a hypocritical adult.

Yu Siqiao’s expression remained largely impassive in the face of his cousin, accustomed as he was to her; he drew Mo Shu closer and said, "This is my cousin, Zhong Lin."

Mo Shu maintained a polite smile on her face, keeping up the standard yet natural grin all day, "Hello, you’re really cute."

Zhong Lin loved compliments, and her smile grew genuinely brighter for a moment, but then she said, "Oh, no way. I’m still envious of you, cousin-in-law, having such a Heavenly Immortal face. Men all like pretty girls, see, even my cold cousin fell for you. Looks really are the best!"

The implication was clear: if not for your face, do you think my cousin would fancy you?

Behind that seemingly sweet exterior, there was definitely some malice.

Mo Shu’s smile deepened further as she said, "It’s not that great; being too outstanding has its downsides. Too many people have liked me since I was young; I think it’s better to be average. At least then you don’t have to deal with so many admiring gazes, avoiding awkwardness. Like you, just right, you’re really the one I envy."

Zhong Lin’s smile stiffened slightly for a moment.

Yu Siqiao calmly subdued his smile and said sternly, "Alright, we’re busy right now. You go back and take a seat."

Zhong Lin looked a bit aggrieved, "Cousin, we haven’t seen each other for so long, and you won’t even catch up with me a bit. Back when He Guan was around, you used to hang out with me often. After she went abroad for further studies..."

Mo Shu’s eyelids twitched.

He Guan?

Hearing Zhong Lin’s words, that name immediately sprang to Mo Shu’s mind.

He Guan was the biggest obstacle between Yu Siqiao and Gu Wenjuan in the original story.

Mo Shu had a sudden revelation: This Zhong Lin was here to stir up trouble.

Yu Siqiao’s expression darkened as he asked, "Are you finished?"

Zhong Lin stuck out her tongue, looking as if she feared that Mo Shu might misunderstand, and glanced up at her, "Cousin-in-law, don’t get me wrong, eh? He Guan and my cousin probably haven’t been in touch for a long time now. Their feelings must have faded a lot."
