PFC Chapter 231 Shameless
Chapter 231 Shameless
'This is ridiculous! How can a rich young master and an orphan be best friends?'
'Could it be that Young Master Jiang also likes Professor Ji? Is he just looking for an excuse to speak up for her?'
"It's possible. Objectively speaking, Professor Ji is indeed exceptionally talented and perfectly handsome; it's not surprising that he's attractive."
Don't give guarantees indiscriminately!
"Young Master Jiang, we're not getting involved in this mess! Please, just post more handsome photos of yourself, okay?"
……
Seeing some of the irritating comments, Mo Yilan darkened her eyes and took a small sip of red wine.
At the same time, the phone screen was lit up by an intruding message.
Mrs. Zeng: 'The winds have been shifted around by the Qin and Fu families these past two days. Keep stirring things up and make that bitch's presence felt. Also, share the new video I sent you in the community group.'
After reading the message, Mo Yilan turned off the screen, her cold eyes reflected on the black screen.

After a few days of online commotion, Qin Wenzhou, who was enjoying 'family bliss' at home, paid no attention to it.
These past few days, he's unleashed a level of shamelessness he'd never developed in the first half of his life, insisting on staying at Ji Ran's house and squeezing onto the sofa every day.
When it's mealtime, she rushes to the kitchen to compete with Qi Mu for chores, busy trying to win his favor.
This made Ji Ran feel embarrassed to ask him to leave.
He even sent someone to contact the original owner of the house across the street, bought the land ownership overnight, and hired top domestic designers to design a reconstruction plan in full swing.
Ji Ran watched as more people came and went in the courtyard, speechless for a moment.
But that house across the street wasn't originally hers either. Qin Wenzhou bought it and could do whatever he wanted with it, and she couldn't control that.
Qiu Lingyue, however, never glanced at Qin Wenzhou, her heart and soul devoted to her daughter.
While Ji Ran worked, she quietly sat beside him peeling an apple.
While Ji Ran was reading, she quietly held her smartphone, diligently studying and adapting to this era of development that she had missed for twenty years.
Especially after learning how to take photos, I was amazed at how convenient it is to take photos and videos now. Then I became a fanatic for showing off my daughter, recording the time I spend with her every day.
She originally wanted to do more for her daughter, but she didn't have the chance.
She noticed that Qi Mu hadn't bothered her much these past few days, except for disappearing after cooking and doing housework. As a result, Qiu Lingyue's wariness and hostility towards him had lessened considerably.
Instead, there was more scrutiny and examination.
It turns out that Qi Mu was responsible for all the kitchen utensils and tableware. She also prepared all the food in the refrigerator.
She then realized that even in the days when she wasn't around, her daughter had experienced being pampered and cared for because of him.
Moreover, she was certain that the other party had no intention of taking her daughter away; they were simply doing it out of kindness for her daughter.
Gradually, the way she looked at him was replaced by acceptance, recognition, and a hint of inexplicable gratitude.
That day, after Qi Mu finished cooking, he planned to disappear as usual, leaving Ranran and her family alone.
“Commander Qi,” Qiu Lingyue said unexpectedly, “please sit down with me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.
Qin Wenzhou, who was eating alone in the living room, suddenly felt incredibly wronged.
No... is there any justice in this world? Why did Lingyue accept even a ghost, but still not him? Waaaaah...
Ji Ran came to her senses, a hint of joy appearing on her face. Her mother's hostility towards Qi Mu seemed to be decreasing.
Qi Mu glanced at Ji Ran, and seeing the girl's happy expression, he sat down as well.
"Just call me Qi Mu," he said.
Qiu Lingyue was stunned for a moment. In that era, everyone would respectfully call him Commander Qi, simply because he was of noble status and had made great achievements, and was loved by the people.
Therefore, apart from the leader, no one dares to call him by his name, even in private.
The name 'Qi Mu' is well-known, yet it is completely unfamiliar to me.
Finally, Qiu Lingyue nodded.
"Qi Mu, what are your plans for the future? To continue in this identity..."
Is he lingering by his daughter's side?
Ji Ran's heart tightened, and he immediately replied:
"He will soon start his life anew as a human being."
Qi Mu felt a warmth in his heart, but more than that, he felt self-reproach for his own incompetence.
He could only survive by relying on Ranran's abilities, a fact he was too ashamed to admit.
Qiu Lingyue looked at her daughter and saw a fleeting look of displeasure in her eyes. A pang of panic shot through her, and she instinctively took her daughter's hand, explaining:
"Baby, Mommy doesn't want him to leave you..."
Wait! What did my daughter say?!
He couldn't help but raise his voice, "As a human being??? Could it be..."
Is Qi Mu in the same situation as her?
But that doesn't make sense. Qi Mu is conscious; he was completely unaware that his soul and body had been separated for 20 years.
Ji Ran paused for a second, then took out her phone and showed her mother the general content of the press conference.
Qin Wenzhou, sitting in the living room, showed no surprise, only uncontrollable pride.
After all, he already knew about his daughter's research topic and was already surprised. Moreover, he was more surprised by his daughter's intelligence than by the fact that Commander Qi could be resurrected. It was simply too invincible.
Qiu Lingyue took the phone with a puzzled look. The more she looked at the content, the more unbelievable it became, and her hand holding the phone couldn't help but tremble.
Qiu Lingyue, who once skipped grades to get into her doctoral program, could still understand the research direction and how amazing this breakthrough was in the scientific community, even though her knowledge had become much less clear.
She looked up at her daughter in surprise, her eyes filled with excitement and genuine admiration, beyond the filter of maternal love.
Suddenly, a news notification popped up at the top of the phone.
'Peking University professor Ji Ran has remained silent since being confirmed as a mistress…'
Qiu Lingyue was stunned. Because her phone didn't have a SIM card inserted, she hadn't realized that her phone could connect to the internet and read news in real time.
At that moment, realizing it was a news headline, she was instantly filled with anger and immediately clicked on the push notification.
Not only did I see that outrageous rumor that my daughter was Qin Wenzhou's lover, but I also saw the disgusting comments below.
I then saw other related news, including those sordid photos and video screenshots.
Even with the image blurred, it still clearly points to his beloved daughter.
Qiu Lingyue was so angry that she was trembling all over.
When Ji Ran saw that her mother had discovered those news articles, she felt annoyed that she had forgotten to turn off those notifications.
"Um...that..." Ji Ran frantically tried to take back her phone, not wanting her mother to be exposed to these stimuli.
"Qin Wenzhou!" Qiu Lingyue shouted angrily.
Qin Wenzhou, whose name was called, was so startled that his hand trembled and he dropped his chopsticks. He didn't bother to pick them up and quickly ran inside.
"What's wrong, Lingyue!"
Qiu Lingyue was holding up her phone, staring at him expressionlessly.
"Are you just going to stand by and watch others slander my daughter?"
