After all, "Mountain and Sea Secret Realm" is directed by Director Zhang, and it boasts the highest investment in film history. As the leading actress, Lin Bingbing's low profile only piques curiosity. The more understated she is, the better her public image becomes. Many perceive her modesty as a sign of dedication to honing her acting skills, which stands out in an entertainment industry often obsessed with exposure.
Though Lin Bingbing wore a mask and dressed in a typical winter outfit, her inner charm still drew attention. People wondered who this beauty was waiting for.
The flight from Shanghai to Yulu City had just landed, and Lin Bingbing stood on tiptoe, eagerly scanning the crowd. Soon, she spotted the figure she had longed for over the past two years. Jiang Chen looked just as carefree as before.
To Lin Bingbing, Jiang Chen exuded charm, but to others, he appeared utterly ordinary—just another young man whose attire and looks blended into the crowd, unnoticed by most, especially by women.
“Jiang Chen!” Lin Bingbing called out softly as she jogged toward him, her eyes sparkling with affection and shyness.
Witnessing this scene, some men who had been secretly watching Lin Bingbing nearly stumbled in disbelief. Why would such a beauty be interested in that guy? Could he be a rich second-generation heir? They convinced themselves that she must be a gold digger; such thoughts only soured their mood further.
Lin Bingbing paid no mind to the judgmental gazes as she stood before Jiang Chen, her eyes crinkling into crescent shapes with joy.
“It’s been a while,” Jiang Chen said with a slight smile.
“Yes, it has! It’s been over two years—almost three now,” Lin Bingbing replied.
“Pretty much. Let’s grab lunch; I can take care of your injury,” Jiang Chen suggested.
“Why don’t we eat at my place? My mom wants to meet you,” Lin Bingbing offered.
Jiang Chen studied her for a few seconds before nodding in agreement.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Bingbing brought Jiang Chen home. Her family was already waiting but exchanged glances of skepticism upon seeing him.
Jiang Chen didn’t seem like someone impressive at all. How could such an ordinary guy command respect from an Underground Leader in their region? Mother Lin harbored doubts about this situation. Was her daughter exaggerating or just bringing home anyone to impress her? The thought took root in Mother Lin's mind and grew stronger; after all, Jiang Chen lacked any aura of wealth or status.
To people like Mother Lin, the aura of wealth is conveyed through brand names; even if one is a billionaire, no one would take them seriously if they dressed plainly.
"Xiao Jiang, where are you from?" Mother Lin asked with a smile as she approached.
"Mom, you’ve forgotten what I said," Lin Bingbing frowned. Her mother had addressed Jiang Chen as "Xiao Jiang" instead of using a more respectful title, which left Lin Bingbing feeling dissatisfied.
Mother Lin ignored her daughter and fixed her intense gaze on Jiang Chen, waiting for his response.
"I’m from Qingcheng City in Southeast Province," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
"Qingcheng City? Not very familiar with it. It’s not a big city. I heard from Bingbing that you’re quite accomplished and come from a well-off family. I wonder if that’s true?" Growing increasingly skeptical of Jiang Chen, Mother Lin decided to be straightforward and asked directly.
