Mo Xicheng and Shi Nianyao stood before the doorway that led to the room where the investor was waiting. Qiao Yiyi was sitting in that same room, weeping quietly.
The director stood next to her, apologizing profusely. “It’s embarrassing that such a thing happened on the set. That extra was indeed too arrogant! When they get here, I’ll make sure they give you a proper apology!”
Qiao Yiyi looked at the man sitting on the chair. His lips were slightly turned upwards, as always.
It must have been for the revenge that he had summoned Mo Xicheng and Shi Nianyao, right?
She had always thought that she didn’t have a place in his heart. Never had she expected that, in reality, he still cared for her.
This thought put Qiao Yiyi in a great mood.
She glanced at the director and sighed. In a soft and refined voice, she said, “Director, not that I wish to go on and on about this matter, but being slapped in the presence of so many people is really embarrassing for me.”
The director nodded to show he understood. “That’s right. This consequences of this matter are indeed quite nasty. I will deal with it rigorously!”
Shortly afterwards, there was a knock on the door.
As the door was swung open, the investor immediately shifted his whole attention to the doorway.
A refined gentleman appeared. His movements were courteous albeit slightly hesitant. It was Mo Xicheng.
The investor’s pupils shrank. This wasn’t who he expected to see. He looked beyond Mo Xicheng to see if there was anyone else.
Before he could say a word, Qiao Yiyi frowned and asked, “Where is that woman?”
Mo Xicheng looked at Qiao Yiyi and hung his head after a moment. “Ms. Qiao, what happened today has nothing to do with her!”
“She hit me, how has that got nothing to do with her?”
He stared at her and continued, “You may hold me responsible for whatever happened.”
His gaze shifted to the director and finally fell on the man sitting on the chair.
As a norm, any minor actors would be awed and quite fearful when they were in the presence of the investor.
However in this particular instance, Mo Xicheng was being very much himself and displayed no signs of nervousness nor reverence towards the man.
There was a pregnant silence in the room.
Both men emanated a strong presence, even though no words had been exchanged yet.
After a moment, the man spoke unhurriedly, “What’s your relationship with her?”
Mo Xicheng lowered his gaze after hearing the question. He replied, “She is my girlfriend.”
Everyone in the room widened their eyes at his answer.
Even the director was stunned.
Qiao Yiyi did not expect this answer and was taken aback. Then she recovered and said, “Isn’t this just great? It’s no wonder you ganged up against me! You low-down and despicable couple!
The investor’s expression darkened when he heard Mo Xicheng’s words.
There was a dangerous look in his eyes as they flashed sharply and bore right through Mo Xicheng. That perpetual smile widened as he repeated Mo Xicheng’s remark, “She’s your girlfriend?”
Mo Xicheng was straight to the point.
Even if it had started out as fake news, he had decided that now it was real.
The investor stood up immediately. He exuded an aura much like a bloodthirsty beast out for a kill. “Where is she?”
Qiao Yiyi was exasperated at this point and persisted, “You dare to gang up against me, you’re courting death! Second Brother, you must avenge me!”
Mo Xicheng cast his gaze down and replied, “Mr. Lu, this is a matter between us, it has nothing to do with her.”
How could it have nothing to do with her?
She was his Qiao Lian!
Without his permission, who would dare claim to be Qiao Lian’s boyfriend?
The investor’s expression had turned terribly unpleasant and no one in the room dared to utter a word.
The director, now at a complete loss, and was quite sure his own end was near.
Mo Xicheng had hit Qiao Yiyi and made the investor very angry!
At this point, the room door was swung open again and this time Shi Nianyao came charging in. “I’ll be responsible for my own actions! This matter has got nothing to do with him!”
