Lian Min’s complexion was a bit pale. Exposing her bodily imperfections felt more distressing than being publicly stripped naked.

Ning Shu gently grasped Lian Min’s hand and gave it a pat. “It’ll definitely improve.”

Ning Shu transferred a bit of spiritual energy into Lian Min’s body—spiritual energy, rather than the unruly, fiery yang energy.

This energy nourished and repaired wounds.

Lian Min merely humphed.

“What’s your plan for this company?” Lian Min asked.

“Custom-made products, targeting the high-end market,” Ning Shu said.

“You really believe wealthy people are stupid with way too much money?” Lian Min glanced at Ning Shu.

“People will definitely buy it if they find it useful. Help me spread the word, and I won’t charge you for the medicine,” Ning Shu said.

Lian Min nodded in agreement.

As Ning Shu got out of the car, Lian Min thanked her. “Hey, it’s a win-win situation,” Ning Shu replied with a smile.

The gossip magazine came out, with only a few pages on Ji Lu.

It talked about a former star who was now living off some rich guy, and had a daughter, but still couldn’t join the wealthy family. They made her life sound pretty rough and made fun of her situation.

For someone like Ji Lu, who wasn’t that famous anymore, the gossip would probably die down quickly.

But Ji Lu wasn’t happy about it. Her life wasn’t as miserable as the magazine made it sound.

Having a daughter and being with Ding Yan was way better than dealing with the drama in the entertainment industry. Plus, she didn’t have to put up with directors and producers all the time.

And her daughter was about to marry into the Bai family to Bai Hanmo! He was every woman’s dream guy.

Soon, Bai Hanmo would be her son-in-law.

Ji Lu was hurt that the magazine had made her look bad and cried to Ding Ningdie on the phone.

Ding Ningdie had just started feeling better, with less pain than before. She listened to her mom, looking all worried.

Instead of telling Bai Hanmo straight away, Ding Ningdie just seemed distracted and out of it all the time.

Bai Hanmo would definitely ask what was going on when he saw Ding Ningdie acting like that.

The first time he asked, Ding Ningdie stayed quiet, insisting nothing was wrong, despite her expression saying otherwise.

The second time around, Ding Ningdie still wouldn’t talk, continuing to assure him that everything was fine.

With Ding Ningdie keeping mum, Bai Hanmo naturally used his connections to investigate. He uncovered the magazine company’s story on Ding Ningdie’s mother and Ding Yan.

Bai Hanmo directly ordered the magazine company to pull the article.

The magazine company: …

The magazines had already hit the stands; how could they recall them? Besides, it was just gossip about a former star – not a headline or feature story.

Was it worth making a big deal out of it?

The magazine company had exposed countless rumors – true or not – all for entertainment.

If they didn’t want it published, why didn’t they speak up earlier?

Some celebs, fearing scandals, would pay the magazine to hush stories in advance.

Faced with Bai Hanmo’s firm stance, the magazine company caved. But how is it possible to recall magazines that were already sold?

So they just made a show of compliance, nervously agreeing to cooperate but privately carrying on as usual.

Bai Hanmo resolved the issue before informing Ding Ningdie.

Ding Ningdie, surprised that Bai Hanmo had taken action to solve things for her, listened with wide, glistening eyes, amazed and grateful.

Her gaze could set a man’s blood aflame, stroking his ego.

Ding Ningdie shared her parents’ story with Bai Hanmo, emphasizing their genuine love but highlighting Mrs. Ding as an obstacle.

She said her mother loved her father. That was why she had been willing to endure humiliation, living with the label of a mistress.
