456 Drenched
Qu Rou was also here for this banquet.
However, she arrived late. By the time she arrived, the banquet was already halfway through.
At first, when she returned to the country, she thought that she could rely on the Qu family to become famous. Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned, her mother was kicked out of the house, and even she became the target of criticism.
Old Madam Qu still had some affection for Qu Rou. Qu Rou often returned to the Qu family to see her, and Old Madam Qu was happy to chat with her granddaughter. However, every time Qu Rou put in a good word for Qu Xue, Old Madam Qu wouldn’t look displeased.
Moreover, because Qu Rou’s attitude towards Mo Rao was too bad previously, Old Madam Qu didn’t dare to support Qu Rou in the entertainment industry, since she was afraid that Qu Rou would start to target Mo Rao after entering the industry.
After all this time, Qu Rou, who had been in the country for a long time now, was still unknown. She could only follow her manager around to find resources and network. Every day, she had to drink with people and do casting couch, just to have a chance to climb up.
At the thought of those greasy old men, Qu Rou felt disgusted.
In the end, the moment Qu Rou arrived at the banquet held for Mo Rao, she saw that the glamorous Mo Rao was surrounded by various young talents, including Fu Ying and Gu Ci, the dream lovers of thousands of girls.
These two were now the topic of discussion for many women. They were young, promising, and handsome. However, they both fell in love with Mo Rao.
Seeing that Mo Rao was doing well, Qu Rou felt even more upset.
Mo Rao didn’t notice Qu Rou. There were too many guests today and she couldn’t pay attention to so many people.
She had just finished chatting with the CEO of a company and was about to turn around to get something to eat when she bumped into Qu Rou.
The red wine in Qu Rou’s red wine glass spilled all over Mo Rao.
Mo Rao’s white dress was instantly stained with red wine.
“Sister Mo Rao, I’m really sorry,” Qu Rou cried out in shock. She was apologizing, but her attitude didn’t seem repentant at all.
Mo Rao knew that Qu Rou did this on purpose, but in front of so many people, Mo Rao didn’t want to argue with Qu Rou, so she smiled and said, “It’s okay. Just be careful in the future.”
“You’re the protagonist today, so it’s not a good idea to walk around in a dirty dress. Why don’t you go change your clothes?” Qu Rou held Mo Rao’s hand and pretended to be very close to her.
Mo Rao didn’t know what Qu Rou was up to again, but she planned to do as she wished to see what she was up to. Mo Rao nodded and said, “That’s true. Then I’ll go change my dress now.”
Fortunately, Mo Rao always prepared an extra dress for every banquet. She walked towards the changing room while Qu Rou followed her and chattered beside her.
“Sigh, I’m really envious of you. You’re already so famous in the entertainment industry. Now, everyone knows that you’re a big star. I’ve been a trainee overseas for so long, but after returning to the country, my standing isn’t even as good as it is overseas.” Qu Rou pursed her lips, her words filled with envy.
Mo Rao smiled and said politely, “No one has it easy right after returning to the country. Seize the opportunity. You’ll make a name for yourself sooner or later.”
“I’m not like you, who has Fu Ying, the Qu family, and Gu Ci to back you up. I used to have the Qu family, but now? Because of you, I don’t even have the Qu family as my backer.”
As Qu Rou spoke, her tone became even more vicious.
At this moment, Qu Rou suddenly rushed towards Mo Rao to knock her into the pool at the side.
She wanted Mo Rao to embarrass herself on this occasion.
Wasn’t Mo Rao glamorous? Wasn’t she the center of attention? She wanted Mo Rao to become drenched and become the target of mockery!
However, Qu Rou didn’t know that Mo Rao was already prepared. When she walked to the pool, Mo Rao guessed that Qu Rou was going to attack. The moment Qu Rou rushed towards her, Mo Rao turned around and easily evaded Qu Rou.
Qu Rou missed and fell into the pool.
Plop!
The commotion at the pool quickly attracted the attention of many people.
“Ah—Qu Rou fell into the water!” Mo Rao deliberately shouted loudly. “Security! Security! Help!”
Qu Rou was struggling in the water while looking very woeful.
The security guards quickly rushed over and pulled Qu Rou ashore.
