Chapter 757: I Didn’t Cry (5)
writer:tao.hua      update:2022-06-30 18:18
  “If you want to enter, add me on WeChat. In a few days, I’ll make a trip home. When the time comes, I’ll ask the Director to test you. As long as you get 30 points in the test, I’ll let you in,” Liu Changfeng said. 

  Mu Huan was stunned. “You’re saying that you can let me enter NST?” 

  “Yes.” 

  “Aren’t you a Best Actor? Since when did you change your profession and become a liar?” Did he just say that he could let people in? And she could even get just 30 points…… 

  NST only accepted super geniuses who had achievements in the pharmaceutical world, but in the pharmaceutical world, not only did she not shine, but she was also only a freshman. She would not be a candidate for a research laboratory like NST. 

  Liu Changfeng broke out in a cold sweat. “I’m doing well as a Best Actor. Why would I be a liar? Because you’re my benefactor. I’ve never liked owing people favors. That’s why I wanted to use this to repay you.” 

  Although Mu Huan felt that this was impossible, Liu Changfeng didn’t look like he was lying to her. 

  “You just said it’d be that easy for me to get into NST. Could it be that the director is your father?” He had just said that he would ask the director test her. 

  “The director is not my father, but my father is in charge of providing all the research funding for the NST research laboratory. Hence, I still have some say in NST. As long as your results are not too bad, I can let you in.” 

  “Your dad is in charge of providing all the research funding for NST?” Mu Huan widened her eyes in shock. 

  It was the most expensive thing to do in scientific research in this world! A research laboratory like their school needed billions of research funding a year, let alone a top research laboratory like NST. The research funding it needed was unimaginable! 

  And his father was able to sponsor all the research funding for NST! How rich was his family?! 

  “Yes.” 

  “Your family is so rich, why are you still in the entertainment industry?” Could this be the legendary saying, if you don’t work hard, you’ll have to go home and inherit billions in assets? 

  “This matter is a little complicated, and it’s also my family matter. It’s not convenient for me to reveal it to you.” His father had a huge amount of assets, but that was someone else’s money. Their family was just a guardian! 

  Initially, he’d wanted to go home to help his father when he was studying finance. However, his father was so busy that he did not even have the time to attend his mother’s funeral because of the assets his master had left behind. This was something he could not accept. 

  Even if this was their family business, his father shouldn’t have been so busy that he didn’t even come back for his wife’s funeral, much less when this wasn’t their family’s business. All these things had to be returned to the heir after they found them. His father was so busy for someone else that he didn’t even come back for his mother’s funeral! 

  He couldn’t forgive his father for his behavior. He didn’t want to work so hard just to benefit someone else. Furthermore, he liked to perform, so he came to join the entertainment industry. 

  Although Mu Huan didn’t think that Liu Changfeng was lying to her, she thought about how he was a Best Actor and could act something out as if it was real. So she said, “It’s very unreasonable for you to do this. Your family has billions of assets waiting to be inherited by you. Alright, let’s say you have other siblings and this inheritance might not be inherited by you, but even if you just had some small benefits as your portion, it would still be more than what you can earn as a Best Actor! 

  “If that’s the case, you don’t have to rely on your looks to survive. Besides, your family has such a relationship with NST. What kind of medicine does NST not have? Even without a medicine like mine that can remove scars, your face would have still been fine. Since it’s like that, I can’t be considered your benefactor at all. So then, the reason why you’d help me get into NST for saving your life is not valid.” 

  If it was like this, the motive behind his words was worth suspecting.

  Chapter 758: I’ll Give You a Chance to Rise to the Top (1)

  Liu Changfeng was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, “You’re quite impressive, little girl. You didn’t get carried away by happiness when you saw such a good thing that fell from the sky. You even suspected me.” 

  The corners of Mu Huan’s lips twitched. There was no need to be impressed, alright? Everyone on Earth knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. It was a trap! 

  Of course, there were many times when one was just lucky and encountered good things. However, things that were too good to be true couldn’t really be such good things. It was obvious that he wasn’t saying this to her because she had given him the medicine to remove his scars. 

  “It’s getting late. I should go home now.” Mu Huan didn’t care if he was joking with her or if he was lying to her. 

  Seeing that his acting was really good and that she liked to watch his movies, she decided not to argue with him. 

  “Don’t be in a hurry to leave. I’m done with work and I’m a little hungry. Accompany me to have supper. Let’s chat while we eat.” They had to sit down and have a good chat. 

  “There’s nothing for us to talk about,” Mu Huan said. 

  “Little cutie, don’t be so sure. Don’t you want to know why I’m giving you the chance to enter NST?” Liu Changfeng raised his eyebrows as he placed the bait. 

  “I don’t want to know,” Mu Huan said coldly. 

  Liu Changfeng: “.……” 

  This young lady was really……! 

  “Why aren’t you curious at all?” 

  “Curiosity killed the cat. Even a cat with nine lives can be killed by curiosity. I only have one life. I cherish it,” Mu Huan said as she folded the blanket and handed it to him. 

  Liu Changfeng was speechless. “Look at what you’re saying. It’s like I’m trying to kill you.” 

  Mu Huan smiled insincerely and turned to leave. 

  Liu Changfeng said, “I wanted to recommend you to NST because of your grandfather. Although you didn’t save my life, your grandfather saved my life. Your grandfather has passed away and I can’t return the favor. Naturally, I have to return it to you, the only heir. 

  “In addition, the Song family’s scar removal cream that you gave me must have been improved by you, right? For you to be able to improve such a good thing, it shows that you are very talented in pharmaceutical studies. In the future, you will definitely be able to have great achievements in the pharmaceutical industry. And now, it’s time for young blood to be added to NST. That’s why I want to recommend you. I really don’t want to harm you.” 

  When the previous owner took over NST, he had signed a contract with it. They would fork out all the funds, and the management rights of all the medicine that NST had researched would belong to them. The benefits brought by those medicines far exceeded those research funds. Hence, the more powerful NST was, the more new medicine would be produced, and the businesses under his father would have more benefits. 

  As such, Mu Huan already had the talent to enter, and NST did need fresh and talented blood to join. In the future, if she could come up with any new medicine, his father would be able to get more benefits, and he could be considered to have taken care of his benefactor’s granddaughter. For such a win-win situation, he had to recommend her to NST. 

  Although Mu Huan paused for a moment, she did not stop. Her grandfather had passed away so many years ago, and no one knew if he had saved his life. Besides, if he wanted to return her grandfather’s favor, why didn’t he do so earlier? 

  Since he knew about the original composition of the Song family’s scar removal cream, then he must have known her grandfather existed. When her grandfather was alive and well, he didn’t return the favor, but now, he was returning it to her? 

  No matter how one looked at it, he sounded like a liar.

  Chapter 759: I’ll Give You a Chance to Rise to the Top (2)

  “Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you not believe me?” Liu Changfeng followed after her. 

  “Yes, I don’t believe you,” Mu Huan replied directly. 

  This made Liu Changfeng sweat even more. With his looks, temperament, and identity, he didn’t look like a liar at all! Why did she feel that he was a liar? 

  “Your grandfather is actually one of the founders of the NST research institute. Very few people know about this, but I know that you should believe me!” 

  Liu Changfeng’s words made Mu Huan stop in her tracks. 

  Her grandfather was one of the founders of such an awesome NST research institute? F*ck! She didn’t even know about this! 

  “What? Don’t you know about this?” Liu Changfeng was also someone who could see through people’s thoughts. 

  Mu Huan: “.……” 

  She really didn’t know. 

  Without waiting for Mu Huan to say anything, Liu Changfeng continued, “I have photos from the past. They can prove that your grandfather was one of the founders of the NST research center.” 

  Mu Huan: “.……” 

  With a photo as evidence, his claim was a little more realistic. After all, although a photo could be faked, it needed to be prepared beforehand. It couldn’t be taken out randomly. 

  Liu Changfeng looked at her and saw that she finally believed him. He smiled bitterly and said, “No matter how I look at it, I don’t look like a liar. I have such a status here. Why are you so wary of me?” 

  “You’re the current Best Actor. You can act in anything, and you act as if it’s real. Who knows if you’ve made up all these things? Your sincere expression was also put on by you! Besides, can’t a Best Actor be a bad person?” 

  Mu Huan felt that she should be more careful with people. After all, there were too many people in this world whose face one could know but not their heart. 

  Liu Changfeng: “.……” 

  “Can’t actors have a sincere heart? You’re discriminating against performers!” 

  Mu Huan: “.……” 

  What discrimination?! She was just being cautious toward others. This was called self-protection! 

  He suddenly appeared in front of her in the middle of the night and said such an unusual thing. If she believed him without any doubt, she would be a naive fool! 

  Also, if he really wanted to repay her, why didn’t he say anything last time in T Country? Last time in T Country, they had exchanged contact details, and he had never contacted her to say anything. Now, he suddenly told her all this, and it was at night after he saw her sad and upset. 

  It was hard for her not to suspect that he was lying to her after he saw how cute and adorable she was. He was using the excuse of giving her a chance to have supper in order to do something to her. 

  Although he had a high status and was not someone who would do such a thing…… 

  There were many socialites with status, standing, and wealth. 

  No matter what status a girl had, she couldn’t go out with an unfamiliar man for supper alone at night. 

  Although she wasn’t afraid of what he wanted to do, what if he was really what she thought he was? The rare image of a Best Actor and an idol she liked would be shattered. How would she be able to watch his movies in the future? Hence, she didn’t want to argue with him at first and wanted to leave. 

  However, what he said now sounded a little true. If she was thinking too much and things were really as he said, wouldn’t she miss the opportunity to know about these things? Hence, she’d better take a look at the photos first. 

  “Didn’t you say that you have a photo that can prove that my grandfather was one of the founders of NST? Take it out and let me take a look.”


  The Days of Being in a Fake Marriage with the CEO    

  Chapter 760: I Will Give You a Chance to Rise to the Top (3)

  One would be able to make a preliminary judgment after looking at the photo. 

  “I’m hungry. Let’s go for supper first. I’ll show you after supper.” He really wanted her to suspect him very much. 

  Mu Huan: “.……” 

  He was only thinking about supper. It would be strange if no one doubted him! 

  Liu Changfeng was afraid that she would suspect him again. So he said, “You’re from Yun Cheng. You must know that the supper here is delicious. Choose a place for us to eat.” 

  Would she be afraid of him doing anything if she chose the place?! 

  This girl was really cautious, but…… 

  Thinking about it, girls should indeed be more cautious. There are too many bad people in society nowadays! 

  When he thought about this, Liu Changfeng realized that he didn’t say anything just now and just wanted to bring people to eat supper. It seemed that it was indeed suspicious! 

  And since she was so soft and pretty, she should be more cautious. 

  Hence, he continued, “I’m not trying to just entice and not show you the photo in the end. It’s just that I don’t have it on my phone. I have to get someone to take a picture of it from the director and send it to me so that I can show it to you. And I’m really hungry, so I want to eat supper and talk about this matter.” 

  Mu Huan had such capabilities. In the past, she did not want her idol’s image to be shattered, so she wanted to go home and ignore him because she suspected him. Now, he had successfully hooked her interest. If what he said was true, she was good, and so was he. 

  If he was lying to her, then she would beat him half to death first, then expose him, ruin his career, and get rid of evil for the people. It wouldn’t be a loss for her. Hence, she said, “Do you want to eat barbecued meat? I know a place where barbecued meat is delicious, and that place is more secretive. It won’t expose your whereabouts.” 

  As a celebrity, he needed to be secretive, and she didn’t want to be photographed having supper with a male celebrity. 

  “Alright! I’m hungry. The barbecued meat is just right.” Liu Changfeng had not eaten in the afternoon. He was really hungry after filming. 

  “Hurry up and put on your cap and mask. Let’s take a cab. It’s too conspicuous to drive your nanny van,” Mu Huan said. 

  “Yes.” 

  Just as Liu Changfeng was about to leave with Mu Huan after putting on his cap and mask, the assistant stopped him. “Brother Feng, you can’t go out alone with a woman at night. What if she’s a bad person?!” 

  If she were to use drugs on his Brother Feng, or get him drunk, or take some intimate photos to blackmail him and affect his acting career, he would be killed by his manager! 

  Mu Huan: “.……” 

  This was the first time someone was afraid that she was a bad person. 

  Although he had the right to think she might be a bad person. 

  Liu Changfeng: “.……” 

  She was just a gentle and weak girl who wasn’t even afraid of going out for supper with him alone. Why would he be afraid that she was a bad person? 

  However, in the end, the assistant could not stop Liu Changfeng. He could not win against him. 

  He could only watch anxiously as Mu Huan and Liu Changfeng got into a taxi. 

  Something that could make Mu Huan feel good would definitely taste good. 

  When he entered the barbecue shop and smelled the aroma of food, Liu Changfeng became even hungrier. 

  “I have to eat more today.” He needed to rest for a while after filming this scene. He didn’t have to control his diet anymore. 

  “Yes. Now that I’m here, I’m hungry too.” Mu Huan had not eaten properly for the past few days. 

  Perhaps the new life had distracted her attention and made her temporarily forget about that uneasiness, discomfort, and sadness. She suddenly had an appetite and wanted to eat. 

  When they were ordering, Liu Changfeng was frightened by Mu Huan.

  The Days of Being in a Fake Marriage with the CEO    

  Chapter 761: I Will Give You a Chance to Rise to the Top (4)

  “I’m not so hungry that I can eat a whole cow. You don’t have to order so much.” 

  “This is my share. I don’t know what you like to eat. You can order your own,” Mu Huan said as she handed him the tablet. 

  Liu Changfeng: “.……!!” 

  Her share? She was just a little girl yet she could eat so much? Was she going to eat all the food in the shop? 

  “Those that I ordered are all my favorite. If you want to eat the same things, then order another serving. I don’t like others eating my meat, so whatever I ordered is mine,” Mu Huan said. 

  Liu Changfeng lowered his head and looked at the dishes. He felt that he was full just by looking at them. “.……” 

  “Hurry up, I’m getting hungrier!” Mu Huan said. 

  “You ordered so much. Are you sure you can finish it?” 

  “Yes.” 

  Liu Changfeng: “.……” 

  Alright! 

  Some people were soft and cute, but they could eat a lot. 

  She saw that Liu Changfeng had only picked one serving of meat, one serving of vegetables, and one of fruit salad. 

  Mu Huan: “.……” 

  “Aren’t you very hungry?” Was this all he’s going to have? It’s not even enough to fill the gap between the teeth! 

  “This is half of my usual appetite.” 

  Mu Huan: “.……” 

  “How did you grow so tall?” He had eaten so little and was so tall, but she had eaten so much and only grew to about 1.6 meters. This made her feel like she was wasting food! 

  “In the past, I had a big appetite. After I became an actor, I’ve had to control my appetite, so my appetite slowly decreased.” As even a little extra weight would make them look fat on screen, most actors were very skinny. Most of them had to control their diet. 

  “It’s so tough being an actor……” Mu Huan sighed. 

  She couldn’t be an actress for the sole reason that she’d have to control her diet. 

  “But if you were an actress, it shouldn’t be too hard on you. You can eat so much yet not get fat.”


  “That’s true. I don’t think I get fat easily.” 

  As they spoke, the dishes were served. 

  Mu Huan was busy roasting meat and did not say anything else. 

  The photo that Liu Changfeng asked someone to take was here, but seeing that she was so focused on eating, he didn’t show it to her. He wanted to show it to her when she was almost done eating. 

  As he was a person in the entertainment industry, most people who came into contact with him also had to diet. Hence, most of the people Liu Changfeng met were people who would be full after taking a few bites. Now that he was seeing Mu Huan who was so good at eating, his appetite improved too. Then, unknowingly, he finished all the things he’d ordered and felt that it wasn’t enough. 

  In the past, he could not understand why people liked to watch shows about food. Now, he seemed to understand. 

  “If you were a foodie, you might become famous.” She was so petite and cute, yet she could eat so much. She was so fragrant and good-looking. She had the potential to become famous. 

  “I’ll definitely be popular. I’m a person who’s good at everything!” Mu Huan said. 

  Liu Changfeng: “.……” 

  She was rather confident! 

  When Mu Huan was almost done eating, she looked up and asked, “Did they send the photo over?” 

  “It’s here,” Liu Changfeng said as he took out his phone for her to see. 

  The photo he got someone to take was a photo of Mu Huan’s grandfather and the other founders of NST. There were a few. In the photo, Song Zhiwen looked very young and only seemed to be in his early twenties. 

  At that time, he was indeed in his early twenties. Song Zhiwen was a genius. In addition, he had gone to school early in the past. When he was 20, he had already taken two doctoral degrees from two well-known universities in the world. Then, he established NST with a few of his friends.

  The Days of Being in a Fake Marriage with the CEO    

  Chapter 762: I Will Give You a Chance to Rise to the Top (5)

  To be precise, he was the predecessor of NST. Now, none of these people in the photo was still around, nor were any of their descendants. There was only the director of the NST research center who could barely be related to these people in the photo. He was the cousin of one of these blonde men. At that time, he was only an assistant at NST. 

  Back then, he was only an assistant. Now, he had become the director of a top research institute in this field. From this, one could imagine how formidable these people in the photos were. 

  Mu Huan looked at the photo on her phone and was sure that what Liu Changfeng said was true. 

  This was because as she looked at the pictures, the sense of the times, the background, the clothes, and everything else was not fake. 

  This was especially so since her grandfather had passed away so many years ago. She did not have any photos of her grandfather when he was young. It was almost impossible for outsiders to know what her grandfather looked like when he was young to create such a photo. 

  Liu Changfeng looked at her and said in the end, “The last photo is of the current head of the research laboratory. His name and life resume are on it. You can search for it. He’s very famous and can’t be faked.” 

  Mu Huan did not speak. She just turned back and looked at the photos of her grandfather when he was young. After looking at them for a while, she returned the phone to Liu Changfeng and said, “Can you send these photos to me?” 

  She wanted to show it to her granny. Her granny would definitely be very happy to see these photos. 

  “Sure,” Liu Changfeng said as he sent the photos to Mu Huan. 

  Mu Huan looked at her phone again. “My grandfather was so handsome when he was young!” 

  In that era where there was no filter and no photoshop, her grandfather was simply too handsome, especially since her grandfather was also a genius! He was simply perfect! 

  “Look at you. It’s like this is the first time you’re seeing a photo of your grandfather when he was young,” Liu Changfeng said with a smile. 

  “I’ve seen other photos of my grandfather when he was young, but I’ve never seen a single photo of him when he was studying abroad.” 

  Her grandfather had left the country when he was 16 years old and only officially returned when he was 26 years old. There were this many photos of him studying abroad, but her grandfather did not leave behind a single photo of him when he was overseas. The NST laboratory was in Y Country, and her grandfather had studied in Y Country back then. Looking at the age in the photo, it seemed like her grandfather had just graduated. 

  Mu Huan seemed to have thought of something as she asked, “If my grandfather was one of the founders of NST, do you know why he gave up on NST and returned to the country back then? Did something happen to him back then?” 

  Her granny did not even know that her grandfather was one of the founders of NST. She had never heard her grandfather mention that he studied abroad. Her grandma had grown up with her grandfather and had studied in Y Country back then. However, she did not know that her grandfather was one of the founders of NST. Her grandfather doted on her the most, but he had never told her about this. 

  When her grandfather was still alive, NST was already a very famous research institute. It was impossible for her grandfather, who often read pharmaceutical magazines, not to know about that if he was one of the founders of this research laboratory. He would have said something to her. 

  He did not tell them, who were close to him, that he was hiding something. 

  Furthermore, her grandfather was clearly a genius who was a top scholar. He had earned so many Ph.D. degrees overseas and published so many sensational papers. However, after he returned to the country, he did not have any outstanding achievements in pharmaceutical studies. He did not choose to enter the scientific research institute and instead chose to inherit the family business. This had always made her feel strange. 

  She felt that something must have happened to her grandfather to keep a low profile after returning to the country.
