Chapter 146 - She's Not Worthy Of Our Family
Muye understood. “Great! You’ve been here many times, but you didn’t tell me. You’re prioritizing other women over your sister!”
Mufeng took a big bag of snacks from the back seat and gave it to her. “Quickly take it and get out of the car.”
Muye hugged the bag of snacks and smiled happily. “Hehe, Bro, you’re so nice.”

As she smiled, she took the snacks out of the car in satisfaction.

The program ‘Unfulfilled Lovers’ was live-streamed on Monday night.
Mufeng’s second aunt, Lu Yiling, was watching it.
She had been bored recently and had no favorite movies or TV series, so she watched variety shows to pass the time.
She had watched this program’s first episode and felt it was pretty enjoyable. It was quite interesting to watch those scheming people.
However, she suddenly exclaimed and immediately got up to bring the tablet to Qin Zhengdu’s study.
“Zhengdu!” Yiling pushed the door open and entered.
Zhengdu was doing calligraphy when he stopped. A drop of ink fell from the tip of the brush and landed on the rice paper, destroying the whole piece.
Zhengdu put down the brush gloomily and threw the damaged half-written calligraphy piece into the trash can beside him. “What’s up? Why didn’t you knock when you came in?”
“You’ll be even more surprised than me when you see this.” Lu Yiling held the tablet and walked to Zhengdu. She placed the tablet on the table for Zhengdu to see. “Look, isn’t that Mufeng?”
Zhengdu sat suspiciously and looked at the screen of the tablet.
After looking at it for a while, Zhengdu looked up at Yiling in shock.
“Mufeng left the company and went to participate in the show.” Yiling pointed at the tablet. “Look at this girl. Her name is Jiang Xun. Mufeng is getting along with her in there. It seems like something is going on.
“Besides, I think he went to participate with Jiang Xun. This Jiang Xun quit after this episode. Mufeng also quit.” Yiling pouted. “I don’t believe nothing is happening between them.”
“Mufeng is really muddle-headed.” Zhengdu’s face was livid as he sneered. “A person like Jiang Xun is not worthy of the Qin family.”
“Mufeng might just be a newbie, right?” Yiling couldn’t quite believe it herself.
Sure enough, Zhengdu sneered, “If he were just a newbie, he would have changed countless women by now. So why is he still single and hasn’t any scandals?” The two elders liked the fact that he kept himself pure the most. “He’s not stupid. He can’t casually flirt with women.”
“What do you think we should do?” Yiling nudged Zhengdu’s arm. “Do you want me to go back and talk to the elders?”
“What’s the use of talking about it?” Zhengdu sneered. He glanced at the table that was still showing the love story. Mufeng was paying too much attention to Jiang Xun.
Zhengdu’s breathing grew a little heavy, and he pursed his lips. “The elders are muddle-headed. They said it’s fine as long as the children like the person. They don’t talk about matching family statuses. No matter how unsophisticated they are, they wouldn’t go so far as to find an influencer! Mufeng doesn’t mind having his reputation affected! When the time comes, we will become a laughingstock along with him. If you go back and tell the elders, the elders might call him over to the house. Won’t this make that insignificant influencer think she will marry into a wealthy family?”
“So, what do you think we should do?”Yiling was still discussing with Zhengdu.
She didn’t feel that they were just Mufeng’s uncle and aunt. Discussing Mufeng’s relationship here was purely meddling in other people’s business.
“Isn’t the foundation we established organizing a new year’s business banquet this Saturday?” Zhengdu thought for a while and said, “Invite Jiang Xun as well. It won’t be weird to invite Jiang Xun since we are looking for celebrities to help us anyway. When the time comes, we’ll make it known to Jiang Xun that she isn’t worthy of our family.”
“Got it.”
Yiling acted quickly. Jiang Xun received an invitation from the foundation the next day.
Wang Yicheng thought that Mufeng was the one who invited her, so he didn’t overthink it and gave it to Jiang Xun.
However, Jiang Xun thought it was strange. Why would the foundation that Zhengdu founded send her an invitation?
However, she was preparing to fly to Shanghai for the audition tomorrow, so she put this aside.
Yicheng’s main business was still being the general manager of Shanpin Media, so Jiang Xun didn’t allow him to accompany her and went to Shanghai alone.
Yicheng wanted to accompany her, but Jiang Xun said, “When I film in different places and participate in variety shows in the future, will you still accompany me every time? Just take this as a business trip. I can do it myself.”
“Okay, if there’s anything, hit me up anytime.” Yicheng felt Jiang Xun made sense.
Jiang Xun took a plane to Shanghai alone.
On the way, she glanced at the system panel.
After the second episode of ‘Unfulfilled Lovers’ was live-streamed, her Favorability Points had increased by another 195,981. With her previous Favorability Points, she had exchanged for 256 Merit Points, which was better than nothing.
Recently, the speed of obtaining Merit Points had slowed down. The main reason was that Hei Zi had fewer entry points, so she needed to find another way.
When they arrived at the audition venue, Jiang Xun was waiting in the waiting room when she suddenly heard a voice. “Jiang Xun?”
Jiang Yuexi didn’t expect to meet Jiang Xun here. She walked over sullenly in her high heels and scanned Jiang Xun up and down. “Why are you here?”
Jiang Xun raised her eyebrows and guessed that Yuexi was probably here for the audition. “I’m here for what you’re here for.”
“I’m here for the audition. Are you here for the audition too?” Yuexi asked coldly.
“Of course.”
“You’re an influencer. Are you here for the audition?” Yuexi sneered, “Jiang Xun, don’t think that just because you’ve participated in two variety shows, you’ve entered the entertainment industry. How dare you come here for the audition? Have you learned acting before? Do you know how to act? If I were you, I wouldn’t dare to come here and embarrass myself.”
Jiang Xun sat still and didn’t move. Instead, she glanced at her coldly and spoke just as coldly, “Do you want to get beaten up?”
“Hey!” Yuexi pointed at Jiang Xun angrily.
She had never met such an unreasonable person as Jiang Xun!
She was mocking Jiang Xun. If Jiang Xun wasn’t convinced, she could retort back.
Instead, she threatened to hit her. How could she behave like that?
Jiang Xun grabbed Yuexi’s wrist and twisted it outward.
Yuexi was in so much pain that she kneeled on the ground and turned her body with her arm. “Let go!”
“If you don’t want a swollen face for the audition later, stay away from me.” Jiang Xun coldly shook off Yuexi. “An illegitimate daughter of a mistress. Yet, you are so gutsy to speak to the first wife’s daughter? I would have already bashfully run into the wall if I were you!”

There were other people in the waiting room. When they heard this, they could not help but point at Yuexi.
Yuexi was furious. How could Jiang Xun talk to her like that out here?
“Jiang Xun, I’ll fight you– ”
Before Yuexi could finish her sentence, a staff member of the production team brought over a set of costumes. “Teacher Jiang, it’s almost your turn. Come with me and change into your costume. The makeup artist will get you ready.”
Mufeng took a big bag of snacks from the back seat and gave it to her. “Quickly take it and get out of the car.”
Muye hugged the bag of snacks and smiled happily. “Hehe, Bro, you’re so nice.”
