Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots

76: 076 I think you are overthinking it.

76: 076 I think you are overthinking it.

Jia Mingmei, seeing her artist speaking like that, couldn’t help but give a superior huff at the security guard and turned the steering wheel to head back.

She thought to herself that this was just how discrete her artist was—if the security knew that the person sitting in the car was the current hotshot actress, Jian Manman, he would surely regret the words he’d just spoken.

(Security: Jiang what?

What Man?)
As soon as the esports performance in Jiangzhou ended, Jian Manman immediately returned to Capital City.

She hadn’t expected that merely attending the competition as a guest would result in being roasted by netizens.

They criticized her for singing out of tune and claimed she had always lip-synced during her career, and some even suggested that she’d botched the singing because she saw her ex-boyfriend and regretted breaking up with him.

She was clearly aggravated by Xia Ye!

However, Jian Manman didn’t care about what people online said.

Such matters could easily be smoothed over with a couple of calls from Jia Mingmei.

Right now, she had more important things to do.

She had seen in a previous issue of a weekly magazine that the Jiang Corporation’s jewelry brand was looking for an endorser for the next quarter.

The jewelry by Jiang was a longstanding brand; the announcement of their brand ambassador always trended for several days each year.

Leveraging their exceptional influence in the industry, Jiang could freely choose the most sought-after celebrities to endorse their products, boosting their visibility.

For the stars chosen, it was undoubtedly a great honor.

It was a mutually beneficial relationship between the merchants and the artists, maximizing profits for both parties.

But Jian Manman’s rush back to Capital City wasn’t just about wanting to be the face of Jiang’s brand—that would be too simple.

She also wanted to become Jiang’s…

Jia Mingmei parked the car and accompanied her into the restaurant.

Jian Manman only wore sunglasses yet had a full face of makeup, an oddly conspicuous attempt at being understated; it was hard to tell if she wanted to be recognized or not.

But the waitstaff recognized her at a glance.

They couldn’t help but whisper to their colleagues behind them that while they had seen many artists who didn’t look as good in person, they never expected Jian Manman to be so glamorous offline, truly worthy of a woman once doted on by the God Xia.

Hearing such praises was nothing new for Jian Manman, and she didn’t react much until she walked further in and saw a man at the entrance of a private room, whispering to a waiter.

Jian Manman’s eyes suddenly lit up.

It was like finding what she sought without even trying.

It seemed that even the heavens were intent on matchmaking for her.

She never expected that on her first day back in Capital City, she would have an unexpected encounter with Jiang Xuan.

This man was a hundred times more charismatic than in the exclusive interviews in the weekly magazines.

Even Jia Mingmei was surprised, “Manman, is that President Jiang?

You two must be fated.

It seems like this endorsement might unexpectedly be a breeze~”
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking with the waiter and inadvertently looked up, Jian Manman saw him glancing in her direction, his lips curling into a slight, indulgent smile.

Jian Manman suddenly felt shy and bit her lip, whispering to Jia Mingmei, “I think he seems quite fond of me, don’t you?”
Jia Mingmei also: “I think…”
“I think you’re overthinking it.”
Jia Mingmei hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly another voice interjected.

Jian Manman and Jia Mingmei swiftly turned their heads toward the voice.

Right behind them stood a young girl, her finger thoughtfully touching her chin, looking quite serious as if she was carefully analyzing the situation for them.

And this girl was none other than Xia Ye, the one who had savagely mocked Jian Manman to the point of calling her ‘eggplant-colored’ in the video the other day!
