Hearing Tang Yannan’s last sentence, she was secretly delighted. She was still very confident in her beauty.

Zheng Min said, “Second Brother, you mustn’t be biased. There are plenty of good-looking people in the world I can’t even compare to.”

“But Minmin, you really are the prettiest.” Tang Yannan muttered, “Well, at least prettier and kinder than Tang Wei.”

Zheng Min pretended not to hear the last sentence.

“Second Brother, you only transferred to A City recently. Did anyone bully you here? You must tell me and I will help you beat them up!”

The girl pretended to be angry and waved her fists, making people feel that she was innocent and cute.

In fact, she was extremely evil in her heart.

Tang Yandong looked at her and smiled dotingly. “It’s already a good thing that he doesn’t bully others.”

“Big Brother, why do you keep tearing down my character?” Tang Yannan said. “Minmin, look at your good Big Brother. He only knows how to tease me.”

Zheng Min patted his shoulder as if to comfort him, then glanced at Tang Yandong coquettishly.

Tang Yannan couldn’t control himself the most whenever she did this. Every time when the man was attracted to her, she would refuse his desires, saying that they couldn’t do such things as siblings. By doing this, she would always successfully reel in Tang Yannan’s heart without him being able to get her every time.

She thought that Tang Yandong, who was also her brother, would not be able to control himself.

However, not to Zheng Min’s knowledge, people would become most restless with the ones they couldn’t get.

Her face blushed as she gently said, “Big Brother, I’ll go back to my bedroom first. Later on, I’ll talk to my manager and see when I can join the cast.”

Tang Yandong still had a smile on his lips. He looked at her mysteriously and nodded.

She pursed her lips and returned to her bedroom.

Upon closing the door, her arrogant expression immediately returned. She took out her phone and started searching for Lu Beichen’s name.

Suntons Group was a top-notch company owned by Lu Beichen who was the Lu family’s Third Master. He was the most powerful man in the East Continent.

Zheng Min’s eyes lit up as she stared at the screen. She wanted to look for a photo of him, but in the end, she couldn’t find anything. Many sources online had mentioned that Lu Beichen was known to never let his photos leak out. As a result, those who had never met him only assumed this person was old and ugly.

“What a pity.” Zheng Min said with some disappointment.

If she married Lu Beichen, would she still need to deal with the Tang brothers any more?

However, Lu Beichen must have seen her photo before he invested in her. If… If he really had taken a fancy to her, then hooking up with him wouldn’t be impossible. She would not despise him for being ugly and old.

Thinking how she was going to marry into such a wealthy family, she thought of Tang Wei was still either in the Song family or back in C City. She didn’t know where the woman was begging around, so she felt happy.

Zheng Min held her phone and stared at the Weibo app. Then, she had an idea.

She looked at the necklace that Tang Yannan had given her. It was a gift he got for his girlfriend. She liked it at that time, but when she remembered that Tang Yannan had given it to her as his girlfriend, she rejected it.

At that time, Tang Yannan had said, “Don’t worry, I’m giving it to you even if you’re not my girlfriend.”

Hearing that, Zheng Min accepted it.

Now, it seemed this gift could finally come in handy. She picked up the necklace and wore it around her neck. Then, she chose a piece of clothing with a large collar. With the necklace as the focus, she took a photo and carefully edited it.

She hummed a song as she started editing her Weibo post.

[Thank you, Suntons, for your great sponsorship of ‘Secret’. I would like to thank Beichen even more. I will film well, hehe (shy). When everything was going rampant, there was still a group of people who loved and supported me. I’m really touched. Thank you, thank you~]

She re-read her post three times and checked the photo again to make sure that there were no flaws or other problems. Then, she pressed the send button.

Zheng Min heaved a sigh of relief and blinked her round eyes. She swiftly put up an innocent face again.

She pulled open the bedroom door hastily as if she had done something wrong.

“Sister Minmin, what’s wrong?” Tang Yanxi asked when he saw her coming out.

Tang Yandong also looked at her.

Zheng Min’s face was filled with anxiety. She held her phone, momentarily speechless.

“Take your time. There’s no need to hurry.” Tang Yandong frowned.

She said timidly, “My hand slipped, and I accidentally posted one of my drafts on Weibo. When I wanted to delete it, it was already too late.”

“Big Brother, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I’m so sorry, huhu…”

Tang Yandong’s clear eyes darkened as he stared at her.

Zheng Min was shocked. The man’s gaze reminded her of the day when she had just arrived at the Tang family. At that time, he was cold to her and had the same expression as now; Angry, with eyes that showed killing intent. At that time, she thought that he was only doing it for Tang Wei, but there was an occasion where she had deliberately fallen to the ground and framed it on the girl, who was drunk.

The man obviously saw his biological sister being framed, but he only glanced at her indifferently and left.

From then on, Zheng Min had been working hard trying to curry favor with men, which was what got her to where she was now.

A hint of gloominess flashed across her eyes. It came and went very quickly, and no one noticed.

She bit her lip and continued to cry.

At this moment, she heard Tang Yannan’s voice coming from outside. Zheng Min heaved a sigh of relief.

“Minmin, why are you crying?” Tang Yannan put down the gift in his hand and asked hurriedly.

Zheng Min didn’t say anything. Her teary eyes made the man frown and feel sorry for her.

Tang Yanxi told his second brother what had just happened.

He then pulled Zheng Min into his arms and coaxed her softly. Then, he said to Tang Yangdong, “Big Brother, you’re being too unreasonable. You can’t blame Minmin for this. It’s not like she did it on purpose.”

“Big Brother hasn’t said anything, so it’s clear he’s not blaming you, Sister Minmin.” Tang Yanxi said.

“Yes, I know, Big Brother didn’t say anything at all. I was just afraid my actions would affect Big Brother’s company.”

Tang Yandong’s furrowed brows relaxed. He turned around and prepared to return to the bedroom.

“Alright, stop crying. Big Brother won’t blame you,” he said loudly.

Zheng Min secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Tang Wei gritted her teeth as she read Zheng Min’s Weibo post. The other two investors of “Red Maze” had also withdrawn their investment and switched to “Secrets”!

[Damn, Suntons? I have to say that my baby Minmin is truly awesome.]

[Am I the only one who cares about the President of Suntons, Lu Beichen? I heard that he never invested in the film industry before this. However, this time, he actually invested in Minmin’s ‘Secrets’. Moreover, Minmin even specially thanked him. Looking closer, that necklace in the picture looks like something only a boyfriend would give to a girlfriend. The words Minmin said are also full of ambiguity!]

[Oh my god, is my Minmin taken? However, isn’t Lu Beichen supposedly old and ugly? Now that Minmin has taken a fancy to him, then it’s highly likely that he probably doesn’t look that bad. After all, our Minmin is a beauty freak.]

[Yes, Minmin is going to marry into a rich family soon. Hopefully, this doesn’t affect her career.]

[Humph, our Minmin isn’t like those people from ‘Red Maze’.]

Tang Wei put down her phone and pondered. She could understand Lu Beichen’s investment. He was allowed to invest in whoever he wanted.

However, when she remembered that the mastermind behind ‘Secrets’ was Tang Yandong, she felt a ball of fire in her heart. Her big brother was really such a great man.

“Tang Yandong! You’re really thinking of Zheng Min in every way, huh?”
