Lin Ye was incredibly happy when he realized what his boss was doing. So she was trying to make Yun Xuan notice him. Although he had decided on giving up for the final time, he knew that he would never fall in love with another woman. Yun Xuan was the first woman he had ever had eyes for and in his heart, the only one he would ever want to be with.

Although he did not want Wan Jia's actions to get into his head and ignite a new ray of hope which might be extinguished just like the ones before, there was still a flake of joy.

If he did not end up getting together with Yun Xuan in this lifetime, would she end up like his god sister Lin Lihua who only found true love when she was over thirty? Time was passing by very fast after all.

Speaking of Lin Lihua, her life had been going on perfectly lately. It was almost too good to be true.

The best debuting artist at HL had started gaining fame progressively, Lin Industries was steady enough for her to leave and she was marrying Henry Blanc in three days.

They were not holding a wedding.

Although Lin Lihua still had tens of millions of fans or possibly hundreds of millions of them even after her retirement and they were all waiting for her wedding, it was precisely for this reason that she was not holding one.

She preferred small weddings with only a few important guests and little media attention.

However, a superstar's wedding would be huge news from the planning to the reception. The media would do their best to get as much information from it as possible and there would be no tinge of privacy.

At the same time, if she held a private wedding and word got out, she might offend her fans. She was no longer their national superstar and she did not have to answer to them, but she still cared about her fame.

As a temporary strategy, she was letting artists debut as "The first artistes from Lin Lihua's HL Entertainment". It was meant to boost their fame. If she did something that would offend her own fans, they would hate her artistes and the innocent little things would have it rough in their career because of her.

If she went ahead and held the wedding, she felt that it would not be her own wedding, but one for the public to watch.

Luckily, Henry Blanc understood this and did not insist on it. They would just register their marriage in the Civil Affairs bureau.

They had explained this to their parents and although they were eagerly waiting for their wedding, Xia Rou and Lin Zhou were understanding.

However, the same could not be said about Mrs. Blanc. "This is the problem with marrying an actress. You cannot even experience everything you want of your own life. I hope my Katy changes her mind when she is older and does become a pretentious actress like some people who stuck into the entertainment industry despite retiring."

It did not require genius brains to know who Mrs. Blanc was talking about. Lin Lihua was still shocked to hear such words from her.

Didn't Mrs. Blanc like her the moment they met? Actually, did she not idolize her for years and feel lucky to have her as a daughter-in-law?

People's speed of changing their minds was rather fast.

Either that, or Mrs. Blanc had always been a mean and bitter woman and was merely showing her true colors.

How strange. While Amy Blanc's view towards life was changed for the better, her mother turned from an angel to a devil.

When Amy Blanc's first hearing was held, the young woman had followed her brother's advice and pleaded guilty for illegally creating explosives. At the same time, she denied being Yun Jifeng's accomplice. She also said that they had only met coincidentally.

If one were to twist logic, what she said was not a lie. Yun Jifeng had used her indirectly. She had not willingly become an accomplice to him. Since Henry Blanc erased all the evidence of their meetings.

It was unlawful to do this, but there was no other choice. If she had admitted that she and Yun Jifeng knew each other, it would only pave way for her to become a scapegoat to all his crimes. Who would want that? Even people who hated her would not wish for such an unfair ending for her.

She was paying for her own crimes after all; she had been sentenced to seven years.

However, not everyone thought she deserved it. Mrs. Blanc, for instance, threw a fit and kept blaming Lin Lihua for making her children turn against each other.

One would think she was some sort of god and she believed that everything must go her way.

If not, why in the world wouldn't she see that Amy Blanc was at fault here? Must she push the blame to people who were only outsiders in this?

Alas, no one could possibly explain logic to an angry woman. It would only waste one's time and effort. Henry Blanc had tried to make her see things from the law's perspective and almost got beaten up by her, much less her, who was only a future daughter-in-law in the Blanc family.

"Will you leave me because my mother started hating and making things difficult for you?" Henry Blanc asked as he hugged Lin Lihua.

"Are you kidding me? How old do you think I am? Don't I know better than anyone who I will be marrying and who will be an outsider in our marriage?"

She was being incredibly blunt, but it was true.
