79: The 7th Noble Male Supporting Character 40

Several days later.

The sea breeze gently brushed against the floor-to-ceiling windows, and golden sunlight spilled into the living room.

Lin Chuxia sank into the soft sofa, holding a special edition of the fashion magazine "VOGUE" in her hands.

Meng Zhu sat beside her, one hand resting casually on the sofa behind her, while the other held a cup of hot tea.

Lin Chuxia couldn't hide her happiness, flipping open the magazine and smiling at Meng Zhu.

In this issue of the magazine, there were, surprisingly, the jewelry pieces designed by Qiao Chuxia.

Meng Zhu said she was talented, and naturally, it wasn't just empty talk.

This jewelry collection was named "Four Seasons."

There were four pieces in total, photographed beautifully in the magazine, breathtakingly so.

"Spring Breeze" was a pinkish-red tourmaline ring, symbolizing the awakening of spring and the bittersweet sweetness of the ambiguous phase.

"Midsummer" was a ruby necklace, representing the fiery passion of intense love, burning without reservation.

"Autumn Leaves" was a pair of golden amber earrings, symbolizing the warmth and tacit understanding of long-term companionship after the splendor has faded.

And the final piece, "Winter Snow," was a platinum bracelet inlaid with crushed diamonds, symbolizing the vow to grow old together and remain faithful until death.

After the release of the "Four Seasons" collection, Canxing reached a new height.

The designer with the pen name "Chuxia," as well as Canxing's boss, Lin Chuxia, these two names had completely gone viral.

Just as the two were being lovey-dovey and chatting happily, the butler walked in respectfully.

"Sir, Madam, Meng Wanjun has come to visit, and she has brought her son, Chu Yunting."

Lin Chuxia was slightly taken aback and turned to look at Meng Zhu.

"Meng Wanjun is very smart; she must be here to apologize."

Lin Chuxia raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"As expected, the more powerful someone is, the more afraid they are of you."

She pursed her lips and thought for a moment.

"I wasn't planning on holding a grudge, but looking at this situation, if I don't hold a grudge, wouldn't Meng Wanjun feel uneasy instead?"

Meng Zhu nodded, picked up his black tea and took a sip, his tone calm.

"If I personally say I won't hold a grudge, Meng Wanjun will naturally believe that I mean what I say. However, why shouldn't I hold a grudge? It can also serve as a reminder to everyone."

Lin Chuxia thought that made sense.

After the two agreed, the butler went out to make arrangements.

A moment later, Meng Wanjun walked into the living room with Chu Yunting.

Her face was still a bit pale, and her eyes were full of awe and fear.

And Chu Yunting, who followed behind her, was even more dejected, as if his entire spirit had been drained out of him.

He kept his head down, not daring to look at the two on the sofa the entire time.

Meng Wanjun lowered her posture significantly, bowing slightly.

"Master, Madam."

She had been scared out of her wits these past few days.

After confirming that Meng Zhu and Lin Chuxia were in a serious relationship, she hadn't been able to close her eyes for several nights.

She lived up to being related to the Meng Family; she was a woman of courage.

She had brought over most of the Chu Family's assets, as well as half of her private fortune, without hesitation.

She handed the document bags to the butler one by one, speaking in a dry voice.

"Madam, this is sixty percent of the shares of the Chu Group, as well as three overseas estates under my name and shares in several listed companies."

"Yunting has offended you many times. Please, Madam, considering his ignorance, deal with him leniently."

After speaking, she suddenly turned her head, kicked Chu Yunting in the back of the knee, and shouted sternly:

"Why haven't you knelt down to kowtow and admit your mistake yet!"

Chu Yunting's legs went weak from her kick, and he fell to the ground with a "thud."

"...Uncle... Aunt, Yunting knows he was wrong!"

He numbly bent down, his forehead hitting the hard floor heavily, making a dull thud.

[Not me wanting to laugh, but "Aunt" is hilarious]

[Poor kid, wonder if he'll be traumatized]

[He's been completely hammered into the dirt now, how miserable]

The comments in the barrage were chattering away.

Lin Chuxia's heart was exceptionally calm.

It could only be said that Lin Chuxia had misjudged Chu Yunting; as for any deep hatred, it didn't really go that far.

She didn't say much, just glanced at the two of them indifferently, still holding the magazine in her hand.

"Let it be this way. Just don't appear in front of me in the future."

Hearing this, Meng Wanjun felt as if she had been granted amnesty and nodded repeatedly in assurance.

"Rest assured, Madam! I will send him abroad tomorrow. In this lifetime, without your permission, he will never step foot in the country again!"

Lin Chuxia nodded and went back to looking at the magazine in her hand.

Meng Zhu didn't speak the entire time, not even casting a glance.

Meng Wanjun was clever and didn't say anything more, quickly pulling Chu Yunting away.

The living room returned to tranquility once more.

Lin Chuxia leaned into Meng Zhu's arms and said with some amusement:

"Although I don't mind her handling it this way, to be honest, I'm not petty enough for that."

Meng Zhu pinched her fair cheek.

"For people like Meng Wanjun, if you punish them too lightly, she would be even more afraid."

"I think it's still your reputation that is too terrifying."

"Then why aren't you afraid?"

"Because we are on the same team."

This sounded familiar, and Meng Zhu was slightly stunned upon hearing it.

Then he remembered and laughed out loud.

...

Meanwhile.

The barrage started to scroll densely, faster than at any time before.

All the white light spots were caught in the living room, watching the two sweetly leaning on each other from afar, unable to move.

[Holy crap, it's over?]

[It ended so suddenly!]

[Okay, okay, it's already perfect.]

[No one actually wants to see a wedding and kids, right?]

[Hold on, progress bar!]

[Are you crazy? This is a live stream, okay?]

[Sigh, hearing the bad news, I don't want it to end yet!]

[So is it for real? It's finished just like this?]

[It's real, I can't move anymore.]

[Alright then, congrats on the finale.]

[Oh yeah, flowers for the finale!]

[It's the grand finale, brothers, see you in the next one!]

Meng Zhu held Lin Chuxia and smiled slightly, watching the barrage gradually fade away.

The screen froze, the end of the show.

...

[Respected actor Meng Zhu, your performance has ended.]

[Loading emotional memory firewall for you...]

[Super intelligence is scoring for you... please wait...]

[Heavenly Dao Rating: S]

[Pangu Rating: A]

[Nuwa Rating: S]

[Comprehensive Rating: S]

[Congratulations, respected one-star actor Meng Zhu, your level has increased!]

[Your current salary is a 2% cut of the total box office!]

[Current Rank: Two-star Actor]

[Follower Count: 1.97 million+]

[Respected two-star actor Meng Zhu, hello!]

[Please note, in this movie performance of "intrusion into the heavenly family," the female lead Lin Chuxia (ID: AFM08130245) has experienced an awakening phenomenon of intelligent life.]

[Referring to the Intelligent Life Awakening Regulations, Confidentiality Section Article 3, Article 105, and Article 320, this intelligent life (AFM08130245) has been stripped and sealed by the super intelligence Nuwa.]

[Please note, because this intelligent life (AFM08130245) has developed feelings for the actor (two-star Meng Zhu), it will be considered automatically bound.]

[This intelligent life (AFM08130245) will be unsealed when the actor (two-star Meng Zhu) passes away in real time, or after successfully passing the Best Actor assessment.]

[For details, please consult the super intelligence Nuwa.]

...

After being dazed for a moment, Meng Zhu called Nuwa again.

"I have a question."

[Respected two-star actor Meng Zhu, hello!]

"Nuwa, I want to ask, what exactly is awakening? Or rather, how can a character awaken? Does it only happen through falling in love?"

[Correct.]

"So, familial love doesn't work? Friendship doesn't either?"

[Correct.]

"That's not right. If it's a sweet romance novel, or a mutual secret crush, wouldn't replacing the male lead directly complete the awakening?"

[Incorrect. Please note, the emotions set by the script are all simulated.]

[Example: The plot sets the female lead and male lead to fall in love. At this time, the emotions between the two parties are intelligent simulations and fuzzy emotional substitutions. For example, using things like familial affection, being moved, gratitude, friendship, etc., to vaguely replace them. Both the male and female leads will default to love (the fake version).]

[The original couples in the plot are the same.]

[Only when a character develops true love for the actor will it be considered breaking through emotional limitations and successfully awakening.]

"I see. In other words, it's not difficult to make the original CP in the plot change their affections; the hard part is making her or him fall in love with you."

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Meng Zhu exited the virtual pod with satisfaction.
