Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 393 - 394: Too Popular to Handle

Lin Banxia was about to head out to pay the utility bills. Just as she reached the door, a middle-aged woman hurriedly approached her, accompanied by a few people who looked like assistants.

"Miss Lin Banxia, is that right?" The middle-aged woman, with a bright smile, rushed over and blocked her way.

"Yes, and who are you?" Lin Banxia stepped back cautiously to prevent them from trying any harmful behavior against her again.

"I’m the manager from Star Gathering Media Company. We’d like to package you into a big star. Would you consider it? Here’s my business card!" The woman said, eagerly handing over a card. "Think about it. With your current popularity staying so high, if we give you the right branding and promotions, you’ll absolutely skyrocket to stardom in no time. Plus, we’ll let you choose scripts right away and give you opportunities to audition for roles."

Lin Banxia’s head was starting to ache. Looking at the business card being held out to her, she didn’t hesitate to refuse. "Sorry, I’m not interested in being a celebrity."

"Miss Lin, please reconsider. This is truly a rare opportunity. Besides, look at you—you’re so beautiful, you’re born to be a star! It’d be such a waste for a face like yours not to shine in the spotlight." One of the assistants chimed in quickly, showering Lin Banxia with compliments.

Lin Banxia remained firm, shaking her head resolutely. "I’m really not interested. Please leave now; I need to go out!"

Squeezing past them, Lin Banxia headed for her car door, only to find the woman stepping forward again. "The signing price is negotiable. It definitely won’t be lower than your expectations. Please, just give it some thought."

"Fine, fine! Give me the business card, I’ll think about it!" Lin Banxia really couldn’t deal with them anymore—three people crowding against her alone, she was completely outmaneuvered.

After taking the business card, she finally managed to win her way to the driver’s seat, started her car, and drove off quickly.

Lin Banxia was thoroughly speechless. Her reputation was currently so terrible, yet she had caught the attention of an entertainment company? They even wanted to hype her up as a star?

If she actually had any interest in acting as a profession, perhaps she might’ve given it a try.

But the problem was, she genuinely had no interest. The entertainment industry was murky, like a giant dye vat, and she had no desire to end up completely unrecognizable.

Besides, she didn’t even know how many years she had left to live. For now, she just wanted to live her quiet little life in peace.

Unfortunately, her plans were far too simple-minded. With her popularity soaring, there were more than a few people eager to capitalize on her fame for profit.

When Lin Banxia finished paying her utility bills and picked up some snacks for home, she returned to find someone standing at her doorstep.

It turned out to be Lu Huan Ning, whom she hadn’t seen in ages.

Seeing her, Lin Banxia couldn’t help but recall the previous life’s image of her sprawled seductively and smugly on Huo Qinglin’s lap.

A wave of nausea churned in her stomach, making her feel like throwing up.

Was she back to cause trouble again?

Parking her car, Lin Banxia gathered the food from her seat and stepped out, raising an eyebrow as she looked at her. "What are you doing here?"

"Relax, I’m not here to make trouble today. I came to talk to you about something," Lu Huan Ning replied, her tone not particularly friendly.

Lin Banxia said flatly, "There’s nothing to talk about between us. Please leave."

"Cousin, do we really have to end up like this? Do you know... Huo Qinglin and I broke up?" Suddenly, Lu Huan Ning seemed overwhelmingly upset, as though she’d suffered a massive defeat, her tears pouring down like a flood.

Lin Banxia fixed her gaze coldly on her tear-stricken face. "Whatever happens between you and him is none of my business. Why are you crying to me?"

"Cousin, I’m sorry. I... hurt you in the past. Can you forgive me?" Lu Huan Ning suddenly looked ashamed, apologizing to her with a remorseful expression.
