I've Transmigrated Into This Movie Before

Chapter 86

86: Temptation

No matter what the future held, she was acting as Mu Er now. A small timid girl who had never experienced the world, who would do anything for money as long as it didn't betray her conscience.

"...I can't." Ning Ning rubbed her hair irritably. "I'm scared..."

"What are you scared of?" Pei Xuan said with a smile, "No risk, no reward. If you were to work normally, you would need to wash dishes for ten years before you could afford the leather boots you are wearing right now. If you were to work starting from the republic years until now, then you would be able to afford the house you are looking at now..."

"...That doesn't seem to be the case?" Ning Ning scanned her surroundings, looking at every inch and corner. The Lian family members who were scattered around looked back at her with caution. She lowered her voice and said, "Do you see them? With this many people, I would at most get the toilet out of the (whole) inheritance."

Pei Xuan sneered with disdain. "There are not more than five of them who could go up against you...why did you think Old Master Lian invited them over?"

Ning Ning looked at him doubtfully. She had a very bad feeling about this.

"Old Master Lian pretended to die," Pei Xuan said, "even the will was fake. The reason he did that was to test his wife and children, to see if they loved him or his money. You saw the results, most of the people did not pass the test."

Ning Ning could not help but widen her eyes as she pointed at him. "You...you..."

"That's right, it was me." Pei Xuan's smile had a trace of pride. "The person who gave Old Master Lian the idea was me."

...You actually thought up such a lousy idea, don't tell me you are essentially a jerk?

Pei Xuan was of course a jerk.

He first got himself acquainted with the second son of the Lian family. The two of them once had quite a good relationship, else this playboy would not have agreed to acknowledge the illegitimate daughter he had outside—one had to know that she was not only an illegitimate daughter, she was the first one to be acknowledged into the family. In this period, Pei Xuan also got to know Old Master Lian through him. He then spent a period of time forging a friendship between generations. One day, Old Master Lian lamented that everyone beside him would say nice things while he was alive, he would not know what they would say after he had died.

"If you are interested in finding out," Pei Xuan took advantage of the opportunity to mention it, "I have a solution."

That was finally the end of the blockbuster show for the day.

But the show was not over, Old Master Lian was planning for season two of <>, all the leading actors and the actors that had failed the audition were given a little bit of a break as they were allowed to return to their homes.

On the way back, a man stood in front of Pei Xuan's car to block him. After stepping on the brakes in time, the pale white headlights shone on the man, illuminating his face that was flushed from alcohol. His facial features were very similar to that of Lian Lian's. He was a typical handsome man, and now his handsome face was twisted with rage. He hammered both his fists on the car and said in fury, "Pei Xuan, bitch, get out of the car this instant!"

"What's the matter, second young master?" Pei Xuan winded down the window.

"You're asking me what's the matter?" The other party walked quickly to the window. He reached in and grabbed Pei Xuan's collar. "What exactly happened today? Did the old man pretend to die? Was that deliberate? Was he...was he using it to test us?"
