The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Chapter 282 - Until the day that Lin Shanshan announced that she would be bringing home her boyfriend! (2)

Lin Yiyi had known about the two of them.

As a public figure, Lin Shanshan's social circle was actually quite limited. On the work front, there was Lu Mingzhe and Lin Yuran watching over her. She was destined to be far away from any hidden agendas. One could say that her life, even in the entertainment circle, was as pure as a piece of white paper.

All of a sudden, a girl that was practically living under the scrutiny of the entire family the entire time announced that she somehow had a boyfriend?

Never mind about Lin Yiyi, even Lu Mingzhe and Lin Yuran had looked up the background of her boyfriend going back 18 generations!

As surprised as Lin Yiyi was, she didn’t care too much about family status. She was, after all, not an original Rich, White, and Pretty. She was for sure more open than the two boys when it came to something like this.

The little dentist was clean and fair looking. He has somewhat of a baby face and was very pleasing to the eyes. Most importantly, he had a very sunny personality and was very talkative. An exact opposite of Lin Shanshan's two brothers.

Per Lin Shanshan herself, it was painful enough to have grown up with the two expressionless faces since childhood. Now that she had a chance to get out of that, why would she be so silly to look for someone who was just like the two of them?

As such, when this celebrity, on a certain day, walked stealthily into a dental office with her shades, masks, a peacoat, and the covering from her assistant, she attracted the attention of a certain quite-popular dentist at the dental office.

She was here for a dental visit?

Anyone who didn’t know better would think she was there to steal!

But how they met was a different story for a different time.

All in all, the relationship between Lin Shanshan and Mr. Dentist was unaffected by what Lu Mingzhe and Lin Yuran had to say about it. In fact, the two brothers-in-law were the ones who oversaw the entire setup of their wedding venue.

Lin Shanshan’s wedding stirred up yet another storm within the entertainment circle.

There was no need to delve into her family background. Many others also knew that her birth father was Meng Yan, the film emperor.

Meng Yan had been way less active compared to a few years ago. He was already close to 50 in age, and it would be a push for him to take on the role of a male lead. That being said, he still received a lot of invitations periodically. After all, he was still very famous and very experienced in his acting, but he was also very picky when it came to the scripts.

Zhang Xiying, on the other hand, had two movie opportunities since she had become the television empress 10 years ago, but neither one of them were very well received. She made more money doing television shows. Nevertheless, as she aged, she had gone from first and second female leads to the mother of the female lead. That was a difficult pill for Zhang Xiying, who loved acting, to swallow.

One way or another, a woman only has so much youth. The traces left on her from her age was not something that she could hide.

Lin Shanshan did not invite Meng Yan and his wife to her wedding.

Specifically, Meng Yan found out about her wedding from entertainment news on the internet and on the television.

He hadn’t been talking to Lin Yiyi for the last few years, but had, owing to work, run into Lu Mingzhe and Lin Yuran once or twice. They did not, however, mingle with each other too much.

Granted, even if given the opportunity, the two of them were not interested in mingling with him.

Whatever did they have in common to talk about?

Should they talk about Lin Yiyi or Lin Shanshan?

They were irked by that.

Meng Yan pushed up his bifocal lens and couldn't help but think about his younger days after reading about Lin Shanshan’s wedding.

Lin Yiyi seemed to always have dolled herself up and waited for him when he returned home from his filming. The two children had very different personalities, but both were very cute.

No matter how many problems he has had with Lin Yiyi in the past, he could only recall the good parts now.

Contrarily, he wished to settle down and enjoy a loving home at his age, but every time he was home, the house was cold and impersonal.

Zhang Xiying was still shooting with the filming team, and his daughter had school and after-school tutoring. Even during his off days, he did not get to see a lot of them.

What was Lin Shanshan’s wedding like?

It must have been romantic and lively.

He could feel the warmth and sweetness even through the screen.

T/N: Going to miss husky dog Lu Xun and equally low EQ Lin Yiyi!

Please give our next translation a try. A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse has a different type of humor from VCFM, and I think the new protagonists and side characters are just as likeable.
