Chapter 100: Misunderstanding Resolved
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Continuing with synchronized actions, they both looked at MO Shu as though mirroring each other.
MO Shu, feeling puzzled, asked, “Are you two mimicking each other?”
As MO Shu was a public figure, they decided to escape the crowd and find a more secluded place to clarify the situation. After a round of explanations, Xia Xin learned that this man was, surprisingly, MO Shut s agent. His name was Zhang Chao, and he was well-known in the industry.
Xia Xin looked at MO Shu in disbelief and asked, “Why would you let someone like him be your agent?”
Zhang Chao, clearly irritated, retorted, “Watch your words! You know nothing about that night, yet you’re making baseless accusations here. I bet you’re in cahoots with the girl from that night.”
Xia Xin frowned and said, “Could you please speak more politely?”
MO Shu, sensing another argument brewing, quickly intervened, “How about this, both of you explain your sides of the story calmly. What really happened? Can we avoid arguing from the start?”
So Xia Xin explained what she had witnessed, but the man immediately countered, “It didn’t happen like that!”
MO Shu gave Zhang Chao an odd look, interrupting him, “I didn’t expect that when I asked you to pick someone up that night, it turned out like this.”
Zhang Chao, feeling misunderstood by MO Shu as well, got frustrated and said, “Why are you getting involved? Are you doubting my character? It was that girl who falsely accused me!”
So, what happened on that night was, MO Shu received a call from Wan Wan, asking for help in picking someone up from a bar. MO Shu felt embarrassed to refuse because he had worked with Wan Wan on a few shows before, so he sent Zhang Chao.
However, when Zhang Chao arrived, he didn’t find the person Wan Wan had mentioned. Instead, a drunken girl suddenly pounced on him and started flirting. Zhang Chao was not the type to engage in such behavior and had tried to push the girl away. But since she was too intoxicated, he couldn’t break free from her. Eventually, the girl vomited on him and passed out. Zhang Chao had no choice but to take her to a hotel.
Covered in vomit and unable to leave immediately, Zhang Chao had to buy new clothes, intending to take a shower before departing and leaving the girl alone in the hotel room. Unexpectedly, when the girl woke up, she accused him of molesting her and ran out onto the streets, falsely accusing him in public. To make matters worse, she encountered Xia Xin, who was quick to threaten to call the police.
Xia Xin fell silent. She recalled that someone like Wu Jia might indeed be capable of such actions. After all, Wu Jia’s behavior at her house was far from typical human behavior.
Feeling guilty for once again trying to do a good deed that had gone wrong, Xia Xin couldn’t help but complain inwardly. The system always said she’d encounter various troubles, but it never mentioned they could come from people of the same gender.
The system replied.
It’s your own failure to clarify things properly.
Seeing Xia Xin lost in thought, Zhang Chao couldn’t help but shout, “Hey, how do we resolve this now?”
Xia Xin awkwardly smiled and said, “I’m truly sorry. The situation at the time made it easy for misunderstandings. I sincerely apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me.”
MO Shu intervened, trying to mediate, “Don’t blame her. Given the circumstances, and with you still wearing a bathrobe, anyone would have misunderstood.”
With MO Shu taking Xia Xin’s side, Zhang Chao didn’t want to argue further with a young woman. The matter was dropped. The three of them then returned the cat. To express gratitude to Xia Xin, the director added an extra scene for her.
Originally, all of Xia Xin’s scenes involved her wearing heavy makeup, and mimicking cat-like movements. Her face wouldn’t even be recognizable on screen. Therefore, the director added a scene where she appeared in regular attire.
As for MO Shu, the director informed him that a very promising television project was currently casting for the male lead. He could recommend MO Shu to audition. While recommending him might not sound sincere, it was a very promising project, and it was in a different league compared to low-budget web dramas. In normal circumstances, MO Shu would have no chance to audition. Now, with the director’s recommendation, he felt a secret joy.
If MO Shu did get the role of the male lead, once the show aired, fame and fortune would be his..
