After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 242: The Wealthy Idler



After Wu Mengting's reminder, Yang Ziyin finally recalled her brief encounter with Chen Feng earlier.

She said with a somewhat wistful expression, "Mr. Chen really is quite a person. I remember he made way for me on purpose back then, barely looking at me. At first, I thought he was a fan of mine, deliberately blocking the road."

Wu Mengting, feeling a bit embarrassed, hurriedly said, "My brother never chases stars, just like when we had dinner with Zhang Yuxi the other time, he wasn't excited at all and hardly spoke to her. She's such a beautiful actress, and if it were someone else, they'd have been trying to talk to her and flatter her."

"Oh, you know Zhang Yuxi?" Yang Ziyin asked, somewhat surprised.

Wu Mengting nodded proudly, "Of course, my brother's friend is a major shareholder in Zhang Yuxi's signing company, and he invited her for dinner, so we got to know her."

Hearing this, Yang Ziyin's eyes flashed slightly, and she said casually, "So, your brother is quite impressive. What does he do?"

Wu Mengting smiled and said, "My brother mainly just trades stocks now and has invested in some industries. He usually has a lot of free time, otherwise he wouldn't have taken us to Europe for such a long vacation; we've been here for nearly a month."

Yang Ziyin nodded thoughtfully and said, "So, your brother is a wealthy idle man."

Wu Mengting laughed and said, "You got that just right. He really is a wealthy idle man now; the kind with money and free time."

Yang Ziyin said enviously, "Someone like your brother is really enviable. Many people work so hard for money that they can't afford leisure, and to be idle, one can't easily earn big money."

"For me, I still don't want to be too idle. It's not about making money; it's that if one is too idle for too long, one starts to feel wasted."

"So, are you feeling idle now?" Yang Ziyin asked with a smile.

Wu Mengting said helplessly, "It's kind of a vacation now, so I'm a bit idle, but once this vacation ends and I return, I'll definitely be busy."

"Oh, what do you do for work?" Yang Ziyin asked curiously.

"Well, my main job now is as my brother's personal assistant, and my side job is writing; I'm an online novelist."

"You're an online novelist? Do you write female-focused stories? What works have you written? In my spare time, I really enjoy reading female-focused novels. In fact, I've starred in several TV series adapted from online novels."

This time, Yang Ziyin was genuinely curious.

Feeling a bit shy, Wu Mengting still said with some pride, "I've previously written 'Golden Hairpin Fate' and 'Lianyu's Story,' and I'm currently working on a new book."

Yang Ziyin's eyes widened in shock, mouth agape, "You're An Pianxian, that's such a coincidence! I'm a loyal fan of yours. I've read both of your books, and 'Golden Hairpin Fate' is my favorite. I once wanted to buy the rights to adapt your novel for film, and even asked someone to contact your signing site, but we couldn't agree on a price, so I had to give up."

Hearing Yang Ziyin say this, Wu Mengting was equally shocked, somewhat disbelieving, "Really?!"

"Of course it's true," Yang Ziyin nodded seriously, "The heroine of 'Golden Hairpin Fate' is called An Lingling, right? She's originally a concubine-born girl from the prestigious An family in Beijing, and she had a tough life growing up, yet she remained strong and independent. When her family arranged a marriage for her, she courageously fled her family, disguised herself as a man, and roamed the world..."

Yang Ziyin recited the plot of 'Golden Hairpin Fate' as if retelling a cherished story, leaving Wu Mengting no choice but to believe her.

"This... this... I don't even know what to say." Wu Mengting was very excited and thrilled, "I never dreamed that a big star like you would be a fan of my books."

Yang Ziyin laughed and said, "I never dreamed I'd meet the online writer I admire like this. It seems we are really fated."

"It truly seems we are. Can I call you Sister Ying from now on?" Wu Mengting asked eagerly.

Although Yang Ziyin wasn't her favorite actress before, she was undoubtedly one of the country's top actresses, and establishing a good rapport with her, calling her 'sister,' gave Wu Mengting a great sense of pride.

Yang Ziyin smiled and nodded, "Of course you can. I'm a fan of your books."

"That's great. Sister Ying, can I add you on WeChat?"

"No problem."

Yang Ziyin proactively took out her phone, opened WeChat for her to scan.

The two quickly added each other as friends, and Wu Mengting was even happier, laughing as she said, "I really want to take a picture with you now and post it on my social media, but after posting a picture with Zhang Yuxi last time, it brought me quite a bit of trouble."

Yang Ziyin generously said, "I personally have no issue if you want to post our picture online, just don't share my WeChat contact freely."

Wu Mengting nodded repeatedly, "Of course. Last time, some of my relatives and friends asked for Zhang Yuxi's contact, and I didn't give it."

Yang Ziyin explained, "You know, if my private contact gets leaked, many people will bother me, which would mean I'd have to abandon that contact and get a new one, and inform all my relatives and friends to re-add me, which is really troublesome."

Wu Mengting quickly promised, "I understand. Don't worry. I won't leak it. Even if my brother and Anna ask for it, I won't give it."
