CHAPTER 652: CHAPTER 652: THE CAT WAS A GIFT FROM LADY YIN

The next day.

Mrs. Yin, accompanied by Yin Mingzhu, paid a visit to Mrs. Charles.

The Charles family had a distinguished lineage which Mrs. Yin wanted to ingratiate herself with.

They were indeed adept at putting on airs, managing to win Mrs. Charles’s trust and even convinced her that Yin Mingzhu would make an excellent daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Yin and Yin Mingzhu left.

In the luxurious corridor of the hotel, Mrs. Yin sneered: "That woman is of no consequence; you’ll find it very easy to control her, Mingzhu."

Her ambition was unmistakable: "In the future, you will be the one calling the shots in the Charles family."

Yin Mingzhu also felt quite proud of herself.

As the mother and daughter were feeling smug, a door at the other end opened.

The famous actor Shui Linglong, holding an expensive cat in her arms, looked at them with a playful smile.

Mrs. Yin frowned.

She had very little regard for famous actors.

So did Yin Mingzhu.

They did not wish to associate with her, but the actor spoke in a melodious voice: "Mrs. Yin, I owe you for my happiness with Mr. Charles! We both would like to invite you two for a cup of coffee!"

Mrs. Yin and Yin Mingzhu exchanged looks.

Mr. Charles was in her room!

This woman’s Bewitching Technique was truly exceptional!

They had other ideas in mind and so they followed the famous actor inside.

Indeed, there was Charles in this suite, sporting a black silk dressing gown in broad daylight.

One could guess what sort of good deeds had been done!

Despite feeling it improper, Mrs. Yin still sat down.

The actor instructed someone to pour the coffee, but she herself sat next to Charles, smilingly saying, "Madam is very fond of me; she knows I’m with you and even sent me Song Bing to relieve my boredom."

Mrs. Yin was startled.

When did she send this cat?

However, she saw the cat’s fur was lustrous and its eyes attractive; it looked very expensive indeed.

She accepted the actor’s affection, responding with a smile, "I’m glad you like it!"

The actor giggled, looking frail.

She nestled up to the elder Charles, her voice tender, "Mrs. Yin has been so kind to me; you should repay her."

Mr. Charles caressed her cheek.

He said, "Our families will soon be related by marriage! Isn’t that enough?"

The actor chuckled coquettishly.

After Mrs. Yin left, she said many good things about her to Charles.

Elderly Charles was quite pleased with himself, surrounded by women who were each more deferential and gentle than the last—getting along very well.

The actor stayed with him for a while.

She lay on his shoulder, whispering a request, "I want to join the dinner party that day!"

Charles was hesitant.

An actor was but a toy, and toys were not meant to be brought to public events.

He equivocated, not directly agreeing.

The actor knew full well his vile temperament.

She clung to his arm, pitifully saying, "I’ve already prepared my gift."

Before Charles could react, she went to the wardrobe to fetch a dress.

Right in front of Charles, she changed into it.

A vision of loveliness.

The actor, bending over by his leg, gently seduced him: "I am clean for that day; after the party, come over to my place, and I’ll celebrate with you."

She was gentle and understanding, and Charles was very much taken with this behavior.

He eagerly cooed sweet nothings.

A scene too indecent to describe.

The actor assiduously flattered him.

*

Meanwhile, Mrs. Yin was quite perplexed.

She said to her stepdaughter: "This Shui Linglong seems to have changed her temperament!"

She added with a laugh: "Leaving Mr. Ji’s side to give herself to an old man; she truly has lowered herself."

Yin Mingzhu maintained her cold and noble demeanor.

She said: "She has not seen much of the world; as long as the man has money, she will follow along! She doesn’t care about looks."

Mrs. Yin then said to her: "Young Charles is very handsome, he won’t disgrace you!"

Yin Mingzhu smiled.

However, a worry lingered in her heart.

She herself had been unclean for several days and dared not go to a regular hospital for fear of others finding out.

She was not foolish and guessed that young Charles had infected her.

But marriage was imminent, and it was tied to a cutting-edge project.

Yin Mingzhu felt that enduring in silence was worth it.
