After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 675 - 673: It’s a Done Deal

Sure enough, after hearing her words, Zhao Qingfeng thought seriously and then his expression became noticeably more solemn than before.

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Jinglan knew she had succeeded.

She cleared her throat and continued, "Women, whether their hearts are truly with you depends on whether they’re willing to spend money on you. You should know that a person’s heart is made of gold. If they truly like someone, they’ll be willing to spend money, to give resources. Think about it, aren’t you the same?"

Xiao Jinglan subtly doctored Zhao Qingfeng’s perception, fearful that he wouldn’t hold a grudge against Feng Ya Meizi.

Zhao Qingfeng was inherently foolish, and now convinced by Xiao Jinglan’s smooth talk, he believed every word she said.

He even firmly believed that Feng Ya Meizi planned to use him and then kick him to the curb.

By then, he would be left with nothing, neither money nor connections.

He had served many wealthy matrons, and those who took a liking to him did indeed splurge on him, but only within the scope of their "pocket money," and even the connections some madams provided for him were only modest opportunities.

Zhao Qingfeng was well aware of his actual standing. After all, he was originally no superstar, and his current fame was propped up by the resources these wealthy women had provided.

He simply couldn’t carry a drama series; even if he were handed the lead role in a big production, he wouldn’t be able to pull it off, let alone have top actresses help boost his standing.

Unless someone smashed one or two billion on him in one go, but who would invest so much in a minor celebrity?

He had aspired to be A-list, but the thought of paparazzi following him everywhere after reaching that status made him automatically give up.

He knew better than anyone what his private life was like and that it wouldn’t withstand scrutiny.

If by some stroke of luck he became an overnight sensation, his scandalous past would be plastered all over the headlines the very next day.

He wouldn’t just wait for matrons’ affection in the entertainment circle; his scandals could get him blacklisted at any moment.

Although he wasn’t keen on becoming a top-tier celebrity and having his dirt exposed, that didn’t mean he didn’t crave better resources and wads of cash.

But nobody was investing in him.

He had known these wealthy women wouldn’t really fall for a pretty boy like him, so he just worked as much as the resources they provided warranted.

It was a mutual exchange.

But now the situation was different!

Feng Ya Meizi had grand designs on him, yet he hadn’t received anything corresponding in return. What if this woman harbored other intentions in the future, wouldn’t he still be the one to suffer?!

The mere thought made Zhao Qingfeng frown involuntarily.

He pondered for a moment and then said, "You’re making sense, that woman might not be sincere with me, but it’s all come to this, I..."

Of course, Xiao Jinglan could see his dilemma.

She reached out reassuringly and patted Zhao Qingfeng, "Silly boy, isn’t your mom still here for you?"

Zhao Qingfeng, as if suddenly finding his backbone, looked at her intently, "Right, right, I still have you!"

In the past, when he was still mingling in the entertainment industry, he always listened to his agent.

He seldom used his brain.

Now, as "Xiao Mo," he always felt that just sitting in his position and coasting along was enough.

After all, Feng Ya Meizi had provided him all the conveniences; he just needed to do as she said.

He had never considered that Feng Ya Meizi might see him as a disposable commodity to be used and discarded.

After Xiao Jinglan brought it to his attention, he was momentarily at a loss, but quickly refocused on Xiao Jinglan as his mainstay.

His relationship with Feng Ya Meizi was physical, but Xiao Jinglan was different.

He was now pretending to be Xiao Jinglan’s son, and Feng Ya Meizi had told him that Xiao Jinglan doted on her son.

So she wouldn’t hurt her son, which meant that she wouldn’t hurt him either!

Thinking this way, Zhao Qingfeng suddenly felt emboldened, "So what should I do next? What preparations should we make?"

Xiao Jinglan hadn’t expected Zhao Qingfeng to be so gullible, and she was excited that he had shifted sides so quickly.

Yet outwardly, she pretended to give tough love, "I don’t know what she might do to you, but if she really intends to harm you, we’re powerless..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingfeng grew even more panicked.

He suddenly felt that she was making a lot of sense, and after thinking it through carefully, if he were Feng Ya Meizi, he’d certainly lay the traps in advance, waiting for him to become useless before using them to finish him off.

Zhao Qingfeng thought back on his recent interactions with Feng Ya Meizi to see if he had left her any leverage.

After rethinking several times and finding no such leverage in her hands, Zhao Qingfeng inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

But he felt even more that being with Feng Ya Meizi was a risky business.

His current identity was already a fake, and there was no way he could stand up to Feng Ya Meizi.

So Xiao Jinglan was the only ally he could turn to now.

With this thought, Zhao Qingfeng became even more agitated, "Mom! You have to help me think of something no matter what, I’m your son, you wouldn’t want me to be conned to death by this woman, right?"

Xiao Jinglan sneered inwardly, but on the surface, she continued with a pained expression, "I’m your mother, I will certainly help you, it’s just that I worry the solution might make you uncomfortable..."

Her hesitating demeanor was not lost on Zhao Qingfeng.

He quickly grasped Xiao Jinglan’s hand and said, "Mom! Rest assured, no matter the method, let’s discuss it first."

After all, he had no one else to turn to for ideas.

Xiao Jinglan was his last lifeline, and even if the lifeline’s method was lethal, he had to hear it out.

Seeing how resolved he was, Xiao Jinglan dispensed with pretense, "My suggestion is that you could wear a hidden camera on you, just in case she instigates you to do something dangerous, so you’d have evidence. There’s also... cough cough..."

She hesitated and coughed awkwardly before continuing, "And if you’re intimate with her, and you happened to get a video of that something, then you’d have something to hold over her, right?"

Zhao Qingfeng was braced for some explosive method but relaxed after hearing Xiao Jinglan’s words.

He thought it would be something sensational, but it was just secret filming.

Secret filming was nothing new to him; he was no stranger to such dirty tricks in the industry.

Yet, out of fear, he hadn’t thought of it earlier.

Now, with Xiao Jinglan’s suggestion, he nodded immediately, "I think this is a good plan; I’ll go arrange it right now!"

"Wait a second!"
