Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The World Gaming Masters was not on the same level as any other international gaming competition.

Only contestants who had previously come in the top three at the international level could take part in the World Gaming Masters.

This was the reason Mu Sheng was held in disdain throughout the gaming industry.

Everyone felt confident about Han Yu’s gaming skills, but Mu Sheng was a woman who simply appeared out of nowhere, and she was even from China. People could not help thinking she was a joke.

A lot of people who followed the entertainment news ridiculed Mu Sheng when they saw the news on social media.

[Wow! Now that she has trouble making a living in the entertainment business, is she trying to gain diversity by joining the gaming industry? Did something happen to her? Why did she do this?]

[This is hilarious. Doesn’t Mu Sheng know anything about the World Gaming Masters?]

[What is so funny? Don’t you people from the fan circles pay any attention to the gaming industry? Don’t you know Mu Sheng defeated GL Gaming Team?]

Although some of the live telecast viewers attempted to explain what the GL Gaming Team and World Gaming Masters meant, the non-gamers simply did not get it. They were certain Mu Sheng was going to embarrass them at the international level by joining the competition.

The live telecast viewers gave up convincing the fan circles otherwise. They finally realized that a huge wall existed between them!

Tang Tiantian was furious when she saw the gossip online as she sat in Midsummer’s Night. “Sheng is brilliant. These people simply do not know better. How could they say such horrible things about her?”

Jiang Tian sat in his seat like a hooligan with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a profound look on his face.

He sneered, “Isn’t it normal for people to do that? Let me give you the first lesson in grooming an artist. It is all about grooming a nobody into a star.”

Since Tang Tiantian had only just started working, she was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“I mean…” Jiang Tian raised his brow. “Let me give you a job. I want you to find a photographer. The kind who can make his subjects ten times better looking. Money is no object. Just find one.”

“Why do we need a photographer?” Tang Tiantian did not know what Jiang Tian was thinking.

“Just do it.” Jiang Tian kicked Tang Tiantian. “Why do you have so many questions? Why can’t you just get the job done?”

“Okay!” Tang Tiantian trusted Jiang Tian.

When the talent agency was new, Jiang Tian always looked so frivolous that it felt the company would fold any moment, but Jiang Tian had more than proven his worth of late!

The World Gaming Masters was happening a week from now and time was tight. Han Yu was not entirely sure what Mu Sheng meant when he agreed to this.

How could they possibly get enough practice in such a short span of time?

However, Mu Sheng insisted that Han Yu should sign up for the World Gaming Masters. He was able to sign up for it since he had come in as world champion repeatedly.

Han Yu found this inconceivable as he sat in the internet café. Mu Sheng simply gave off such a confident aura that he automatically caved in to her suggestion.

Li An had also heard his friends saying Mu Sheng and Han Yu were taking part in the World Gaming Masters.

Li An felt it was already very impressive that Mu Sheng was acquainted with Han Yu. Now, she was even going to participate in such an important gaming tournament.

His sister-in-law was simply brilliant!

Li An was genuinely proud of his sister-in-law from the bottom of his heart.

The moment school was over, Li An ran back home happily.

“Sis-in-Law, are you going to Korea for the competition?”

Mu Sheng ate some chips. “Uh huh.”

“Can you take me along with you?” Li An was so excited that tears glistened in his eyes.

He wanted to see the tournament desperately! It was every boy’s dream to see the gaming competition live!

Before Mu Sheng could say a word, Li Hanchen said, “No.”

Li An went quiet. He glanced resentfully at Li Hanchen, but the moment he gained eye contact with him, he became a coward. “I was just talking. I was joking about it. I love school. I can’t bear to spend a single day away from school.”

However, Li An was curious. “Sis-in-Law, why did you suddenly sign up for the competition?”

Mu Sheng ate more potato chips. “To earn money.”

Mu Sheng had very little concept of money in her past life, so she did not know anything about property prices.

Mu Sheng happened to check on property prices a few days ago and ended up shocked.

Just the villa they were living in now was worth at least a few hundred million.

This did not include other expenses like clothing and toiletries.

Mu Sheng thought about how much money she made a month and could not help feeling worried, especially considering the current situation she was in.

Li Hanchen was ill. Even though the Li family had cut him off financially, he was probably unable to make a living.

Also, Li An’s school fees were very high.

She also had to pay Auntie Lin.

After Mu Sheng did some Math, she felt sorry for Li Hanchen, but she was also deeply impressed.

She had no idea how someone like Li Hanchen was able to pay for all that.

Although Li Hanchen did not have to pay his friend any rent, Mu Sheng did not like the idea of living under someone else’s roof.

She wanted to buy her own place.

Mu Sheng saw an advertisement outside about the World Gaming Masters and the prize money for the champion was $100,000, so she wanted to take part in it with Han Yu.

Li An was surprised to hear Mu Sheng’s answer. “Why do you need to earn more money?”

“Since I need to get a new place, I need to earn more money,” explained Mu Sheng naturally.

She had all attention on the television and failed to notice the change in Li Hanchen’s and Li An’s faces the moment she finished her sentence.

Li An immediately felt upset. Li An was so happy about making Mu Sheng stay that he forgot she was not really his sister-in-law. Mu Sheng had come to an agreement that she would leave in around six months from now.

Li Hanchen contemplated before he glanced at Li An for him to leave.

Li An pursed his lips before he walked out miserably.

Li Hanchen took the remote control and turned off the television.

Mu Sheng looked at him annoyingly. “What are you doing?”

Li Hanchen looked at Mu Sheng deeply. “Are you buying a new place?”

Mu Sheng took out a brochure. “Why don’t you help me check this out and see which house is better?”

Li Hanchen refused to look at the brochure. He kept looking at Mu Sheng. “I’m not going to look at it. What’s wrong with staying here?”

Mu Sheng frowned. “Why do you seem a little different from what I expected?”

Li Hanchen felt puzzled. He looked at Mu Sheng and sounded confused. “What do you mean?”

Li Hanchen frowned even harder when he detected disappointment in her eyes.

“Hasn’t anyone told you before?” Mu Sheng looked at Li Hanchen solemnly as she shared a life lesson with him.

“What?”

“We have to stand on our own two feet. Although the villa is great, we should buy a place of our own. We can’t always live here, so it is better for us to get our own place as soon as possible.”

Li Hanchen did not understand why Mu Sheng suddenly brought this up, but he keenly caught her saying something. “We?”

Li Hanchen’s eyes lit up like fireworks. “Do you mean that you want to earn more money to buy a new place for us?”

“Exactly.”

Mu Sheng felt puzzled by Li Hanchen’s question. Li Hanchen did not throw her into the streets even when he was impoverished. How could she abandon Li Hanchen now that she had a well-paying job?

She simply had to work a little harder to buy a bigger house. Since Li Hanchen was kind enough to peel eggs for her and give her candy, she did not mind letting Li Hanchen rent two rooms from her at a cheap price.

Coldness melted away from Li Hanchen as he smiled uncontrollably. “I have money.”

Mu Sheng was puzzled. “Enough to afford a house?”

Li Hanchen wanted to say she did not have to find a new place, but he swallowed his words and shook his head as he said, “No, I don’t.”

“Then that’s that. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself.” Mu Sheng took some chips and placed them in her mouth. “How about this? I will charge you $1,000 per month for rent since we are friends, okay?”

Mu Sheng chewed the potato chips as she spoke, making her cheeks bulge as her long eyelashes left a shadow on her face.

Although she had a cold aura, Li Hanchen felt she was sweet and wanted to touch her head.

Li Hanchen did just that. He reached his hand out and rubbed Mu Sheng’s head. “Okay.”

Mu Sheng was accustomed to Li Hanchen touching her head, so she simply continued eating potato chips as she said, “Your hands feel a little cold. Make sure you stay warm. If you fall sick, I have to give you more treatment.”

Li Hanchen pursed his lips as he looked at Mu Sheng’s flawless profile.

What should he do? Li Hanchen wanted to do a little more than touch her head. He also wanted to touch her face.

Also, he wanted to kiss her.

Mu Sheng happened to turn her head and saw the look in Li Hanchen’s eyes. She found it a little strange, so she asked, “What?”

Li Hanchen removed his hand from her head immediately. “Nothing. Do you want more coke? I will get you more.”

Mu Sheng nodded. She automatically licked her lips and could taste the sweetness of coca-cola on her lips.

Li Hanchen instantly got distracted when he witnessed this.

Li Hanchen stood where he was for some time until Mu Sheng chased him. “Hurry up.”

Li Hanchen went quiet. He looked at Mu Sheng profoundly. “Well done.”

Mu Sheng was puzzled. Just as she was about to ask Li Hanchen what he meant, he had already gone afar.

Li Hanchen walked out of the room and saw someone squatting at the door.

The moment Li Hanchen came out, Li An went over.

“Big Bro.”

“Why aren’t you doing your homework?” Li Hanchen glanced at Li An. “Why are you squatting here?”

Li An’s face was completely crumpled. “Big Bro, you are so bad at this.”

Li An could detect Li Hanchen’s cool eyes looking at him instantly. Li An opened his eyes wide as he hurriedly waved his hand. “That was not what I meant. I meant, why are you so stupid? No, what I meant was why are you so useless… Hang on, that was not what I meant to say either!”

After countless tries, Li An failed to express what he meant to say. He ended up smacking his head annoyingly. “Why isn’t Sis-in-Law in love with you?”

The moment he finished his sentence, Li Hanchen halted in his steps and asked, “Maybe you should ask her.”

Li Hanchen walked off. Li An felt enlightened when he heard what his older brother said..
