Chapter 2 The Rumored Husband

After two days of observation in the hospital, the doctor confirmed that Muyin was fine and could be discharged.

Muyin had already met Mu Jun, the eldest brother of the Mu family, on the day of the car accident. Today, Mu Qi, who was in the laboratory, also came under the instruction of his twin brother, Mu Yan.

Originally, the Shen family was also planning to come, but Muyin declined. As for Shen Huai, it was said that he was abroad.

"Let's go, Yinyin," An Suwan said as she tidied up the items in the ward and turned to call Muyin. However, she noticed that Muyin was sitting upright on the sofa, her hands clasped in front of her belly. Perplexed, An Suwan couldn't help but ask, "Muyin, why are you sitting so straight?"

Although she was born into a rich family and had good manners, she didn't have to pay attention to red tape in front of her parents, and this was... too upright.

Muyin was stunned.

She had been lying in bed for the past two days, and she didn't feel out of place in this world.

Now she seemed to feel a bit strange.

She recalled how Muyin had sat down. She silently tilted her legs in one direction and naturally put her hand on them.

Well... it's better to sit like this.

After studying the sitting posture, Muyin remembered what An Suwan had asked her.

"Let me practice. What if I land a role in a costume drama one day?"

During the past two days of hospitalization, her speech system has basically recovered. She has also watched some TV dramas, gaining knowledge about what actors do.

"You, you're really..." She thought that she had broken her brain.

Muyin stood up and held An Suwan. "Let's go, Mom."

An Suwan froze for a moment and then smiled. "Yes."

After growing up, Yinyin no longer got close to her. Unexpectedly, she changed after the car accident. It's really ironic. How could she think like that!

An Suwan and Muyin rode the elevator down to the underground parking garage. Muyin, who had never experienced the sensation of weightlessness before, felt slightly disoriented.

In the garage, Mu Yan and his sons were waiting after completing the necessary paperwork for the discharge.

Upon seeing Mu Yan and Mu Jun, Muyin instinctively bent her legs, feeling inclined to offer a bow. However, a sudden recollection of the joke she had shared moments ago due to her seated position halted her actions. She patted her knees as if nothing had happened and greeted them one by one with a smile.

In the car, she imitated An Suwan and leaned back to relax.

The family was chatting in the car when they were suddenly interrupted by a phone call.

Muyin took out her mobile phone and sighed when she saw that it was her agent.

She hadn't forgotten the tone of the agent last time. This agent was not easy to get along with.

She pressed the answer button. "Hello?"

"Have you been discharged from the hospital?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"There is a variety show, and you should make an appearance. The conditions this time are not too demanding, so don't be picky. Once you sign with the company, you have to make money for the company. Don't let the company support you for nothing, you know?"

She didn't know if Wang Feng was in a good mood today. In addition to being full of disgust, her tone was actually very gentle.

"I see."

"Beep, beep, beep..."

Muyin still wanted to ask about the details, but the other end of the phone couldn't wait to hang up.

Then, a WeChat notification sounded.

On WeChat, Muyin saw a message sent by Wang Feng.

Wang Feng said, "The show will be recorded at nine o'clock tomorrow, in G City." When you arrive at the G City Hotel, contact the staff of the production team. I had already informed them. Book a plane ticket for yourself. I'll ask the company to cover your expenses when you get back. The staff's telephone number is 177XXXX7777.

Based on the memory of the original owner, Muyin replied with an "okay".

When An Suwan saw her putting away her phone, she asked, "Do you have work?"

"Yes," Muyin replied in a muffled voice.

It was not that she didn't want to go to work, but that she was really unfamiliar with her work. In her memory, the original owner of her body hadn't taken on a job after signing the contract.

The next day, Muyin arrived at the hotel where the G City production team was staying at around seven o'clock.

She dialed the phone number of the staff and was surprised to hear that the crew had already left for the recording site.

"Oh, you're Muyin, right? The production team changed their schedule at the last minute. Hurry up and take a taxi to the martial arts dojo. The program has begun recording."

"... Okay."

Muyin took a deep breath. She was a newcomer, so it was normal for her to be treated coldly.

She hailed a taxi on the roadside and reached the martial arts dojo in ten minutes.

The crew of the show found her and told her about the general arrangement. Then they led her in and gestured to the resident guests.

As the host of the show, Lin Chao explained the appearance of Muyin in a few words.

This episode was about finding hidden martial arts masters in the folk. In addition to Lin Chao, there were also Zheng Fangchuan, a former martial arts actor, singer Gu Si, newcomer singer Mu Yao, and idol Xu Canlin.

Muyin's mid-way joining did not have any impact on the program. The martial arts master at the martial arts dojo explained various weapons one after another, then demonstrated them, and also taught them some moves.

Of course, Muyin was not among them.

Two hours had passed, and Muyin had been standing in the corner. There was nothing else to do except holding the sponsored products and saying some words about the sponsors.

She didn't expect Wang Feng to literally call her to make an appearance.

During the break, the crew turned off the camera.

Muyin was about to rest when the sound of discussion came from behind.

"I've never seen such an arrogant newcomer before. The program has been recorded for several hours before she arrived."

Muyin could tell that the person who spoke was Gu Si. Muyin didn't want to delve into the reasons for her sudden mockery. After all, in her previous life, she had seen too much, and even the tiniest thing could become a reason for the others to make trouble.

"That's right. In order to show our sincerity, we came to the martial arts dojo at six o'clock. I'm afraid someone was sleeping at home?"

Well, the voice was from someone named Mu Yao. She was very attentive to Gu Si during the recording of the program, and she also worked very hard in private.

"What else could it be? Look at her, she didn't even have time to put on makeup."

Muyin turned around, pointed at herself, and said, "Are you... talking about me?"

"Tch, you have no self-awareness at all."

A newcomer in the entertainment industry, who was unknown, dared to arrive even later than the experienced professionals. She clearly lacked an understanding of the industry norms and regulations.

Rubbing her sore wrist, Gu Si walked toward Muyin.

As Gu Si walked past her, she intentionally bumped into Muyin's shoulder with an air of self-importance. Trying to regain her balance, Muyin was immediately jostled once more by Mu Yao, who was following closely behind.

"Ouch..." She couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to be so delicate. It hurts so much after being gently hit. We're here to learn martial arts. You can't be like that." Gu Si pretended to be surprised.

Like Gu Si, Mu Yao always echoed.

"Why did you come to the martial arts club if you are so vulnerable? You might as well go home as soon as possible."

“…”

Muyin ignored them and walked to another place to wait for the next recording.

This action undoubtedly angered Gu Si. She caught up with Muyin in a few steps, intending to teach her how to deal with the seniors in showbiz.

She grabbed Muyin, who turned around, glancing at the hand holding her arm. She looked straight at Gu Si with sharp eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gu Si was shocked by her gaze and let go of her.

Muyin had no intention of tangling with him, so she found a place further away.

Half an hour later, the program started recording again. She consciously walked to the edge of the camera and stood in position.

She had assumed that her task would be completed after spending a day there, but this persistent individual was akin to an indestructible cockroach, clinging to her and causing repulsion.

"Master Chen, could you please demonstrate a sparring session for us, so that we can also witness the true kung fu." Unlike his arrogant expression just now, Gu Si was now as humble as can be.

"Okay, I'll call my apprentice."

"Master Chen! No need, we have someone who wants to learn a few moves from you."

Upon his statement, all those in attendance were taken aback as there was absolutely no mention of such a component in the program.

Lin Chao wanted to save the day, but Gu Si didn't give him the chance at all.

Gu Si grabbed Muyin by the arm and dragged him forward. She said to Master Chen with a smile, "Muyin has admired you for a long time. She wants to compete with you."

"Does the little girl know martial arts?"

"Yes, she does.!"

Be prepared to face the consequences if you dare to ignore her. He was going to teach her a lesson today. It was not easy for newcomers to survive!

Muyin knew that Gu Si was deliberately trying to make her look bad, but he miscalculated.

She tugged at Gu Si's sleeve and said timidly, "Sister Sisi, that's not a good idea."

"There's nothing bad about it. You're a newcomer, so you need an opportunity to perform. I've brought the opportunity to you. You have to seize it."

Of course, she had to seize the opportunity!

Master Chen looked at Muyin and asked again, "Can you? Swords have no eyes. It's inevitable for you to get hurt. Don't push yourself too hard."

"I know a little bit, please teach me, Master."

Muyin's behavior made Gu Si look down upon her even more. She sneered in her heart, "Newcomers are always like this. They dare to say anything for the sake of the camera."

The production team wanted to stop the project as it had completely deviated from the original direction, but Gu Si refused to give them the opportunity.

"Yes, Master Chen. As Muyin was a newcomer, we wanted to give her more opportunities to perform. She has been standing there for the whole morning."

At this juncture, discontinuing the program abruptly would imply that the production team did not afford the newcomers an opportunity. The director intended to eliminate this scene once it concluded.

Seeing this, Master Chen nodded in agreement.

"Then pick a weapon."

Muyin walked up to the weapon rack and took a look. She rarely used spears and was not particularly skilled with knives either. She decided to choose a sword, as she was more comfortable using it.

She picked up the sword and saluted Master Chen, "Master Chen, please."

Master Chen also chose the sword.

He drew his sword out of its sheath and stabbed forward. Muyin leaned to one side to block, turned around to the back, and then also drew her sword.

Originally, she didn't need to pull out her sword at all at this level of sparring. However, as he was master, she had to give him some face.

She understood how to interact with others. Without the constraints of identity, she could be more carefree. In the face of martial arts inheritors like Master Chen, she showed respect.

The two of them exchanged dozens of moves back and forth, and Muyin was in control and occasionally let Master Chen win.

"Hurry up, get the cameras ready. Shoot!"

The director didn't expect that Muyin was really skilled. The intense fight scene was rarely seen even in typical costume dramas.

Gu Si and the others were dumbfounded.

Except for when he was filming, he had never seen such a real fight. Even when they were filming, what they did was well planned, not like this.

Gu Si gritted her teeth and glared at Muyin, who was about to make a fool of herself.

She had been fooled by a newcomer! She pretended to be pitiful and tricked her into giving her the opportunity to show off!

As for Mu Yao, she was thinking more.

Muyin was so powerful that she could easily spar with her master. Does that mean all her previous efforts only made her a foil to Mu Yin?

This scene must not be aired!

Zheng Fangchuan couldn't hide his appreciation for Muyin. He started as a martial arts performer and later became an actor, so he naturally understood the tricks of the trade. If the female leads of costume dramas could do what Muyin did, costume dramas would not always be criticized.

Master Chen was nearly sixty years old. Because he practiced martial arts, his body was much stronger than his peers', but now he also began to run out of strength.

Muyin felt that Master Chen was struggling and quickly stopped her attack to put herself at a disadvantage.

Master Chen sensed her intention and immediately sheathed his sword.

"You're amazing!" Master Chen praised her sincerely.

"Master Chen, you flatter me."

The following program was recorded smoothly by Muyin. Master Chen had high hopes for her. He had always asked her to demonstrate.

Gu Si and Mu Yao have become an inferior pair, and both of them are itching with anger.

After the recording of the program ended, Muyin left gracefully, while Gu Si and Mu Yao were still arguing with the production team, demanding that all footage of Mu Yin be deleted.

Muyin was indeed amazing, but compared with Gu Si and Mu Yao, it didn't matter if her footage was deleted.

Although he had paid the salary, the director still felt sorry and vaguely told Wang Feng.

That night, she flew back to Maple Villa, where she and Shen Huai lived.

Muyin leaned against the sofa. Suddenly, footsteps came from upstairs. She raised her head warily.

There was a tall man standing upstairs, wearing home clothes, staring at her.

The 3D-modeled face had deep eyebrows and eyes, thin lips, and a high nose bridge. It should be her husband, Shen Huai.
