Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day

Panda Novel

Liu Ling's overnight popularity caused countless media reporters to surround her.

To the reporters, there were too many interesting news points about someone who walked out of the slums and became a million-dollar Internet celebrity at the age of 18.

By that night, Liu Ling had already received invitations from nearly twenty media outlets. In order to let her be more exposed and earn more money, Liu Ling's parents let her accept all the interviews.

As a result, in just a night, there were overwhelming reports about Liu Ling, a genius author. As she had never come into contact with television interviews, Liu Ling looked very inexperienced and did not even know where to look.

She had a ponytail and was wearing clothes that had been washed and aged. She explained her creative process to the camera in confusion.

Facing an unfamiliar environment, Liu Ling did not know where to look. She was so flustered that she was about to cry. Her voice was trembling.

Liu Ling's mother looked angry below. "This disappointing thing is not generous at all. Why is she trembling?!"

However, in the eyes of the audience, who were used to seeing the elites of the industry being eloquent, Liu Ling's performance had stabbed their hearts.

Young, clean, and talented. This was the audience's impression of Liu Ling.

[Amazing. She's 18 years old and has already earned a million yuan a month. My 18-year-old is still doing five years of college entrance examination simulations. This is probably the difference.]

[I love this young lady. I heard that her novel is going to be filmed into a movie. When are you going to film it? I'll prepare the money for the movie ticket.]

[I realized a problem. The sci-fi short video on Little Missy's Weibo seems to have been posted by Xia Wanyuan's studio. I heard that it was done by their studio? What's going on?]

The netizens followed the comments and entered Xia Wanyuan's studio to take a look. The time showed that the short video was really released by Xia Wanyuan's studio first.

Could it be that Xia Wanyuan's studio was related to Liu Ling?

In the broadcasting room, the person-in-charge received a notification from the backstage and smiled kindly at Liu Ling. "Little sister, recently, there's a very famous movie star in the country who's preparing to film a sci-fi movie. Her name is Xia Wanyuan. Is your manuscript going to be a collaboration with her?"

Hearing Xia Wanyuan's name, Liu Ling's eyes subconsciously revealed disgust. She looked up and saw her mother gesturing to her. She thought for a moment before saying, "No."

"Oh?" The host had been trained in all sorts of people and guests. Seeing this situation, he knew that there was something fishy. "But as far as we know, your sci-fi video was made by Xia Wanyuan's studio. Could it be that they violated the rules and used your copyright?"

Liu Ling did not understand these twists and turns. She looked at her mother for help. Her mother did not seem to understand what the host meant.

Liu Ling could only bite her lip and look at the camera. "I don't know either."

"Okay, it's nothing. Let's talk about something else." The host gestured to the photographer and began the next recording.

To the television station, Liu Ling's words were enough. After all, sometimes, holding back halfway was the most controversial.

As the director had expected, before the television program ended, news about Xia Wanyuan and Liu Ling had already spread everywhere.

Xia Wanyuan was at the national level of popularity. With her, Liu Ling quickly became a household name. Together with her work, she soared into the sky.

After the filming ended, Liu Ling's mother smiled until her eyes could not be seen as she looked at the endless invitations and remuneration on her phone.

"Good daughter, we're going to be rich, haha! You did so well! Let's go and take a look at the house. We can also buy some pork ribs to stew with lotus roots. Your brother loves to eat this."

The smile on Liu Ling's face disappeared when she heard this. She looked at her mother in disappointment.

She hated lotus roots the most. She had hated them since she was young.

"Why aren't you following?" Mother Liu frowned and looked at Liu Ling. "Hurry up. Your brother will be leaving school soon. If you go back late, he won't be able to eat hot food."

"Oh." Liu Ling lowered her head silently and followed her mother.

The hospital.

After Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling left, they left Lu Li to take care of her.

"Sister Wei, drink some water." Lu Li handed the cup to Wei Jin. Looking at Wei Jin's sickly but elegant face, she sighed in her heart. Xia Wanyuan was really amazing. Even her cousin was so good-looking.

"Thank you," Wei Jin whispered and smiled at Lu Li.

Lu Li's eyes lit up when she saw Wei Jin's smile. "Sister Wei, I'll get the list from the doctor after you drink the medicine."

"Okay."

Lu Li asked a bunch of questions in the doctor's office. She held a small notebook and remembered it especially seriously. On the way back to the ward, she was still looking for anything Wei Jin needed to avoid.

Just as she walked to the corner, she happened to look up. She hurriedly put away her book and took a step back. She hid at the corner and secretly looked out.

Not far away, Xuan Sheng was still dressed wantonly. There was a hint of fatigue in his exquisite eyes. He said a few words to the nurse, who handed him a pile of medicine.

After taking the medicine, Xuan Sheng left the hospital. Lu Li glanced at Xuan Sheng's back and walked to the nurse. "Hello, Sister Nurse."

The nurse turned around and was sweetened by Lu Li's lively smile. "What's the matter, little sister?"

"What illness did CEO Xuan have just now?"

Lu Li's eyes were filled with obvious worry. The nurse heard her call CEO Xuan and thought that this little sister should know Xuan Sheng, so she told Lu Li the truth. "CEO Xuan's stomach illness has always been very serious. It seems to have worsened recently. He socializes a lot and his diet is irregular."

As soon as she finished speaking, the nurse saw Lu Li's worried expression and raised an eyebrow at her. "Little sister, do you like CEO Xuan? All the best! I think highly of you!"

Lu Li did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Then I'll leave first. Nurse, you're busy."

"Okay." Before the nurse left, she even gave Lu Li a thumbs up.

"…" Lu Li carried the book back to Wei Jin's ward helplessly.

Wei Jin was already asleep. Lu Li thought of what the nurse had just said and was worried. She secretly sent a message to Xuan Sheng's assistant, Xiao Liu.

"Brother Liu, can we discuss something?"

Xiao Liu replied quickly, "CEO Xuan has a social event tonight. It's at XX Hotel on XX Road. Do you want to come?"

"…" Lu Li's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly. Was I that obvious??

"I'm not going. CEO Xuan doesn't like to see me. I just have something to ask of you…"

Xia Wanyuan only learned about Liu Ling from Chen Yun's angry complaints after getting off work.

"Wanyuan, this young lady is so young. Why is she lying through her teeth? She was quite good when I first saw her. She wasn't so annoying." Chen Yun had never liked Liu Ling because of the ingrate incident last time, and this time, he almost fainted from anger.

Xia Wanyuan flipped the book in her hand. "The studio will clarify this matter."

When she brought Liu Ling out back then, she had neglected something.

That was that the influence of the original family on Liu Ling might be greater than all of them had imagined.

Ever since Liu Ling was young, the deepest damage came from her family, but her only dependence also came from her family.

Because she lacked love, she would please her parents endlessly. If she had any results, she would want to find her presence in front of her parents.

This was engraved in her bones. She could not change it. Although it was sad, it was the truth.

Chen Yun could not care less about Xia Wanyuan's emotional thoughts. He was busy asking the studio to clarify.

Liu Ling's words were as if they had taken advantage of her and cheated her of her copyright.

Just as the netizens were discussing fervently, Wan Shi Studio posted on Weibo.

"Back then, when we worked with Miss Liu Ling, we signed a legal contract. The boss, Xia Wanyuan, empathized with Miss Liu Ling and transferred all the profits from the short video to Miss Liu Ling. The following are the contract and transfer records."

The photos behind clearly showed that the studio had legally bought Liu Ling's copyright.

[Liu Ling is more or less a little ungrateful… This contract clause is really good to Liu Ling.]

[Our Yuan Yuan worked hard to make a short video and gave all the profits to Liu Ling. Liu Ling actually has the cheek to show such a disgusted expression on the show? Aiyo, my bad temper is infuriating.]

After the studio posted a clarification post, many employees of the Beijing Hotel suddenly appeared on Weibo.

"Liu Ling was sponsored by Xia Wanyuan at the hotel back then. Xia Wanyuan booked a presidential suite for her. I'll show you how miserable the suite was when Liu Ling and her family left in the end. Just like this, when Liu Ling left, she even said that Xia Wanyuan did not treat her well and that Xia Wanyuan was petty."

The employees had sent all sorts of photos, but without exception, they looked very dirty. No one could imagine that this was actually the presidential suite of the famous Beijing Hotel.

Xia Wanyuan's fans were furious. They rushed to Liu Ling's Weibo to argue and realized that the genius writer Liu Ling had posted nearly two hundred posts in less than three days after registering her Weibo.

The content of the post was all about selling goods.

From beauty medicine to clothes and jewelry to plastic surgery institutions, there was nothing she did not sell.

Due to her high popularity in the past few days, there were really many people who bought her goods.

Seeing those brand names that they had never heard of, the fans secretly remembered all the products Liu Ling sold. They had a feeling that this so-called "genius writer" would fail because of these goods.

Xia Wanyuan returned home and accompanied Xiao Bao to do his homework. After dinner, Jun Shiling was still working overtime in the company and did not go home.

Even though they had only been separated for a short time, Xia Wanyuan still felt a little uncomfortable. She called Jun Shiling and it was quickly picked up.

Before Xia Wanyuan could speak, Jun Shiling's smiling voice came. "I'll definitely be back at ten to accompany you."

"What are you doing? Have you eaten?"

Jun Shiling nodded at Lin Jing. Lin Jing understood and walked out of the office. Only then did Jun Shiling turn the phone to video mode. "Madam, you can check on me. I'm the only one in the office. There are no other women or socializing."

Xia Wanyuan laughed. "Who wants to check? Have you eaten?"

Jun Shiling hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yes."

Xia Wanyuan knew him too well. With just half a second of hesitation, Xia Wanyuan could tell. "I'll make supper at home and wait for you to come back."

Jun Shiling's heart felt warm. "Okay."

After chatting with Xia Wanyuan for a while, Jun Shiling hung up and gestured for Lin Jing to come in.

"CEO Jun, we've already sent her to the Jiang family's villa," Lin Jing said respectfully.

"Mm." Jun Shiling nodded. "Thank you."

At this moment, the Jiang family's villa was brightly lit. Zou Man was looking at the public opinion online smugly.

"Is this the solution you were talking about?" Jiang Kui frowned. "She solved the problem with a casual clarification."

Zou Man curled her lips. "So what if she clarifies? As long as Liu Ling is tied to Xia Wanyuan, her works will always be very popular. How can this make less money?"

To many film companies in the entertainment industry, no one cared about the character of the author or the quality of the work. As long as there was popularity, it could be sold for a sky-high price.

Jiang Kui paused in his actions of holding the cigarette. Zou Man's words made sense. Just as he was about to ask again, the butler suddenly stood at the door and waved at him with a troubled expression.

"What's the matter? You're stammering." Jiang Kui was annoyed and could not be bothered to go over.

Sensing Zou Man's gaze, the butler sighed in his heart. Just as he was about to find an excuse to fool him, a small figure had already passed him and rushed straight to Jiang Kui, hugging his leg. "Daddy."

This crisp "Daddy" stunned everyone in the living room.

Jiang Kui frowned. "Who's your father?"

"You." The child's eyes were filled with joy. He looked at Jiang Kui and pointed outside the door. "Daddy, Mommy is here too. Our family can be together happily."

Outside the door, a gentle and quiet figure walked in. It was an extremely beautiful woman with a Jiangnan aura. The corners of the beauty's lips curled up slightly, and she looked like jade under the light. "Hello, CEO Jiang. I'm Xie Tanyu."

Zou Man, who was still leisurely looking at her phone, sat up and stared at the child in front of Jiang Kui. "Who is he?"

The quiet beauty walked over and the child smiled at her with curved eyes. The beauty held the child's hand and sat beside Jiang Kui. She nodded at Zou Man. "Hello, I'm the mother of CEO Jiang's child."

"Jiang Kui! Explain yourself!" Zou Man looked at Jiang Kui in disbelief, wanting to find a negative answer on his face, but she clearly saw a hint of panic on Jiang Kui's face.

Jiang Kui's heart was in a mess. He looked at Xie Tanyu beside him. He wanted to deny it, but he lacked confidence.

The longer he was silent, the angrier Zou Man became.

The living room fell into a strange silence. After some time, Zou Man suddenly groaned in pain and held her stomach. Jiang Kui hurriedly walked over. "Are you okay? I'll send you to the hospital."

Zou Man's face was covered in sweat from the pain. She cowered in Jiang Kui's arms and allowed him to carry her out.

Jiang Kui carried Zou Man for a few steps before suddenly stopping. He glanced at Xie Tanyu. "Follow me too."

As he had a son for no reason, he had to check if he was his biological son.
