"Eh??" Everyone was surprised. "Really, Sister Wei Wei! If the director knows this news, heâll definitely be overjoyed!"
"Really, just go back and tell the director like this. Iâll handle it when I get back."
"By the way, Sister Wei Wei," Su Jin said, "Mo Shao is here again!"
"Mo Shao?" Hearing this title, Heather paused for a moment before realizing Su Jin was talking about Mo Jun Tian. Still, hearing that nickname, she couldnât help but laugh.
"Thatâs right!" The others immediately wore gossip-laden expressions and said, "Turns out heâs the eldest son of the Mo Tian Real Estate Company! Since he lived abroad as a child and only recently returned, nobody knew him before!"
A real estate company...
This clearly screamed "wealthy tycoon vibes."
Although the young master doesnât seem like the type who loves luxury cars, he rides a Ducati around town every day, joins biker groups, and seems a little different from your typical rich playboy.
"If no one knew him before, then how did you all find out?"
"Sister Wei Wei, why do you act like you donât know anything? The media spilled the details of the eldest sonâs background yesterday. Thereâs probably no one in Linyang who doesnât know by now... well, except for you, Sister Wei Wei!"
Heather squinted her eyes at Su Jin.
Still, she had assumed he came from a pretty well-off familyâordinary-rich maybe. She hadnât expected him to be the young master of a real estate conglomerate.
"Ahhh... Oneâs the CEO of an international investment firm, the otherâs the heir to a real estate empire. Whoâs the better choice?" someone lamented, clearly trapped in a dilemma.
"Obviously the first one! Think about itâMo Shaoâs dad runs the Mo Family business, so marrying into the family means dealing with dominant in-laws. Youâd definitely lose out. But Mr. Nian is different! He calls the shots himself!"
Heather massaged her forehead.
This group of little ladies...
Their imaginations really ran wild.
First of all, theyâd need to actually become their girlfriends.
And in-law drama? Thatâs a problem for after marriageâtalk about overthinking!
"This isnât up to you! Ultimately, itâll depend on who Sister Wei Wei likes! Sister Wei Wei, who do you choose?"
"Huh?" Heather looked up and pointed to herself in confusion. "Who do I choose?"
Since when was picking between them her problem?
"Does Sister Wei Wei think we have a chance? We know ourselves, weâve got nothing! But Sister Wei Wei, youâre differentâyou have a unique charm nobody else does. Thatâs why both Mr. Nian and Mo Shao like you, isnât it?"
"..." Huh? Where is this coming from? Heather chuckled helplessly. "Stop spouting nonsense. Mr. Nian has a girlfriend, and Mo Shao and I are just like siblings. Your imaginations are way too wild."
"How is that possible!" No one believed her.
Heather spread her hands, indicating: "Believe it if you want, or not. Whatever."
Whether it was Nian Shen or Mo Jun Tian, she wasnât interested in either of them.
The heart is small; how could it possibly hold two people?
For the rest of her life, she only wished to love Ah Nian.
After Su Jin and the others left the hospital, Heather didnât bother asking Nian Shen whether he had said anything to the director. In her mind, acting was her own business; she didnât need to report to him, nor seek his approval.
...
One day, Nian Shen was sitting in the hospital room, eating a meal with her.
Indeed, Nian Shen now came to eat with her from time to time, often enough that Heather herself had started developing an illusionâthey really seemed like a couple.
But she had repeated the same words too many times. Since he refused to listen, there was no point in saying them again.
