Chen Wanying didn’t want to come to Mo Yanzhi at this time. She had always been proud and had always regarded Mo Yanzhi as her own possession. Suddenly being treated like this, the psychological gap was imaginable.
She couldn’t understand. What was so good about Li Shu that Mo Yanzhi would do so much for him? Not only did he publicly humiliate her, but he also didn’t spare the elders in his family, ruthlessly cutting ties with them just because they had acted against Li Shu.
He was just a bed-climbing little star with only interests in his eyes. Apart from having a good-looking face, what else was there to match Mo Yanzhi? There were so many good-looking people in the entertainment industry, why, why did it have to be Li Shu?
Standing alone in the bright lobby, Chen Wanying was constantly pierced by the occasional glances around her, making it almost impossible for her to lift her head. Now everyone knew that she was the one clinging to the president of Mo Group, arrogantly considering herself the future mistress of the Mo family, and had done many inappropriate things.
Previously, no one showed dissatisfaction, only because Mo Yanzhi hadn’t spoken. They couldn’t afford the consequences of offending the person in control of the Mo family, plus she was the only child of the Chen family in this generation. Those people feared the Chen family and didn’t dare say anything.
But now things were different. Mo Yanzhi had made it clear that he wouldn’t marry into the Chen family. But now, there was a problem within the Chen family. An old grudge has surfaced. The head of the Chen family was too busy to even care about Chen Wanying’s affairs.
Chen Wanying felt like she had fallen from heaven to hell during this time. After losing the halo of the family and Mo Yanzhi’s fiancée, she was just an ordinary woman, and a woman with many enemies at that.
Relying on everything she had, Chen Wanying never considered others’ thoughts when doing things. Reckless actions always come at a cost, and now she had begun to taste the bitter fruit.
How did all this happen?
Chen Wanying‘s face gradually showed a bewildered look. A month ago, when she came to Mo Group, who dared to treat her like this? But now, she stood alone here, not even having anyone to talk to.
Thinking of her purpose in coming here, she could only forcibly endure all the grievances.
Not only Li Shu, Mo Yanzhi also couldn’t understand why Chen Wanying came at this time. No matter what the purpose of the person disturbing his and Li Shu’s world was, Mo Yanzhi felt annoyed by the interruption.
“I don’t want to see her.”
She was just an insignificant person, Not as important as spending time with Li Shu. He finally persuaded Li Shu to accompany him to the company, and he didn’t want to waste this rare opportunity on others.
The secretary heard the order and was about to go downstairs when the man’s reluctant voice suddenly came from the office.
“Wait, bring her up here.”
Although the secretary couldn’t understand why the boss suddenly changed his mind, she obediently followed the boss’s orders.
“Why do you want to see her?” Mo Yanzhi wiped his hands with a tissue, and casually wipes Li Shu’s mouth as well.
Li Shu replied casually, “I need to know what they’re scheming behind our backs.”
As his fingertips brushed against Li Shu’s soft lips, Mo Yanzhi’s eyes darkened. His hand moved down, pinched Li Shu’s chin to make him turn slightly, then he leaned in to kiss him.
“So sweet…” A murmured escaped from the corner where their lips met.
The lingering atmosphere in the office was interrupted by a knock on the door. Li Shu clearly felt Mo Yanzhi’s body stiffen. With a chuckle, he pulled away from the man’s embrace. “Someone’s here.”
Mo Yanzhi was secretly annoyed at how he had relented just because of Li Shu’s casual remark earlier. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let go of the opportunity he had worked so hard to get for himself.
“Come in.”
Unlike the last time they met, Chen Wanying had her long hair tied up high, revealing her slender neck like that of a swan. She had become more feminine. Moreover, the experience during this period of time had worn away her pride and made her temperament no longer as arrogant as when they first met.
Chen Wanying originally had a generous and decent smile, but when she saw another person in the office, the smile on her face froze.
‘Li Shu? How could he be here?!’
“Miss Chen, we meet again.” Li Shu stood up calmly, assuming the posture of the host.
Last time they met, Chen Wanying had identified herself as Mo Yanzhi’s future wife, but now the tables had turned, and Li Shu was the one in charge.
Chen Wanying took a careful look at Mo Yanzhi and saw that instead of being offended and displeased, there was a hint of joy on his face. She was filled with hatred in her heart, but she didn’t dare to show it on her face.
She should have realized it earlier. The first time she invited Li Shu out, Mo Yanzhi dropped everything and rushed over, afraid that Li Shu would be bullied if he arrived late. How could she not have realized that Mo Yanzhi’s attitude wasn’t right. What keeping a casual lover? He was serious.
Admitting this was extremely difficult. From adolescence to now, she had been living under the hints of others and herself. Mo Yanzhi had always been clean and had never had any men or women around him that required her attention. She had thought it would continue like this forever. As long as she waited patiently, one day she would put on a wedding dress for the boy she had liked from childhood and be handed over to the man by her father amidst everyone’s blessings.
All of this came to an end with Li Shu’s appearance.
Mo Yanzhi, who had lived like a monk, threw himself into the whirlpool of love like a moth to a flame. He no longer turned a blind eye to those behaviors that crossed the line. In order to provide a safe environment for that person, he didn’t hesitate to take action against his own family.
“Why are you here? If it’s about the last cooperation, there’s no need to mention it. I’ve already told your father that Mo Group won’t be involved in this matter.”
Mo Yanzhi’s voice was as cold as ever. Although there was no change from before, it felt like a bucket of ice water poured over her, chilling her to the core.
What was she still hoping for? Wasn’t everything obvious? These two men could be said to have contributed a lot to why she was in this situation. However, even after knowing the outcome wouldn’t change, she still refused to give up.
“I’m here to discuss another deal with President Mo,” Chen Wanying said after adjusting her mindset. When she said this, she deliberately glanced at Li Shu. “I wonder if Mr. Li could step aside?”
“No need.” Before Li Shu could speak, Mo Yanzhi said in a deep voice, “There’s nothing that Shu Shu can’t hear. If you think Shu Shu shouldn’t hear it, then there’s no need to say it.”
Hearing this, Chen Wanying couldn’t help but twist her expression, took a deep breath, and said, “For that project, our Chen family is willing to give up another eight percent. We just hope that President Mo won’t intervene in the internal struggles of our Chen family.” As for her other purpose for coming here, she better not mention it to avoid humiliating herself.
Especially in front of Li Shu.
That matter needed careful consideration, otherwise she would never get the result she wanted.
From childhood to adulthood, whether it was the objects or people she liked, she would never give it away until she was tired of it.
Though well hidden, Li Shu could still see the ambition in her eyes. It was obvious who the ambition was for. Unexpectedly, Chen Wanying hadn’t given up even at this point.
Could it be said that she truly deserved the title of the vicious female supporting character with the most scenes in the original plot?
“What are you thinking about?” After staring into space for a while, Mo Yanzhi leaned in close to his ear and asked softly.
The warm breath brushed against his ear, and Li Shu tilted his head slightly, “I’m wondering what Chen Wanying’s purpose is in coming here.”
Admittedly, Chen Wanying’s offer was very tempting. If this project were successfully launched, it would be the biggest project for the Chen family in the first half of next year. The investment would be huge, and the benefits would be even greater. The eight percentage points shouldn’t be underestimated.
“The Chen family is in chaos now. The current head of the Chen family is in an unstable position. What they think won’t be known by anyone has been exposed. If not handled properly, they could lose not only everything they have now but also end up in prison.”
He teased Li Shu’s temple, saying cryptically, “Don’t underestimate that orphan. He may look like a rabbit, but he’s actually a ruthless character who wouldn’t hesitate to kill.”
Even at a time like this, Mo Yanzhi didn’t forget to give eye drops about his rival.
“What do you plan to do?” Li Shu interrupted him, pushing him away to create some distance.
“I won’t turn down the benefits that come to me. What’s more, I haven’t promised her anything, right?”
If a fat lamb is delivered to his door for slaughter, wouldn’t it be a waste not to take action?
———–
Leisure time is always short. When his popularity was at its highest, Li Shu updated his Weibo with just one picture and a celebratory emoji.
Fans came in confused and were faced with other fans who were equally confused.
[I’ve waited for so long, only to see this kind of picture [laughing and crying. JPG].]
[Just one photo, why not a selfie? I’ve scrolled through Weibo from beginning to end, can you guess what I saw? I never expected that I couldn’t even find a single selfie [crying in despair. JPG].]
[Upstairs, I’ve noticed it too. I want to lick the face, I am begging for a selfie please!]
[Two people begging for a selfie!]
[Wait a minute, didn’t you notice that the place in the photo is not in China? Look at the buildings, it looks like the United States.]
[Yes, it’s the United States, I’ve been there before. By the way, what is Shu Shu doing in the United States?]
[At the end of December, isn’t there a fashion show in the United States?]
[It shouldn’t be. Tickets for the fashion show are hard to come by, Shu Shu is popular now, but let’s be fair, he’s not qualified to go to the fashion show yet.]
[Are there many celebrities trying to get on the red carpet? Maybe LS just wants to go and join the red carpet.]
[Nothing has been announced on Weibo yet, why are you all so emotional?]
…
One photo, and it was heatedly discussed by fans and black fans.
Meanwhile, Li Shu had already met up with Jonathan. Their collaboration was naturally not for the fashion show, as some fans had said, his current status wasn’t high enough. His collaboration with Jonathan was private.
“Oh, Li, you look even more beautiful after not seeing you for so long.” After they met, Jonathan gave Li Shu a warm hug. “Everything is arranged here. Is it okay for you to rest for a day and start working?”
As he spoke, he suddenly felt a chill behind him, and a piercing gaze lingering on him. When he turned around, he saw a tall man in a suit staring at him intently.
“Li, who is this?” He knew Qin Ran beside him and the assistant tidying up things. This one looked a bit familiar, but Jonathan trusted his judgment. He had never come into contact with this person.
“This is my… assistant.”
“I don’t think he looks like an assistant at all. It’s okay if Li doesn’t want to say, I’ll pretend I don’t know anything.” Jonathan said, winking at Li Shu, as if to say he would help keep the secret.
