Chapter 17: Make Her Pay
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing that Chi Yaoxi was silent, Mo Yuzhen assumed that Chi Yaoxi was starting to worry about the financial backer behind her. Her tone returned to its usual arrogant state. “Miss Chi Yaoxi, you’re already past your prime, so you can only be my supporting actress this time. You’d better see the truth. Not everyone can act as the female lead straight away.”
Her acting skills were not good, yet she still dared to speak so firmly. Chi Yaoxi glanced at her disdainfully. Chi Yaoxi understood Mo Yuzhen’s character. After thinking a few times, she came up with an idea.
She deliberately lowered her head and pretended to be talking to herself to raise the topic. “For a normal actress to directly become the female lead, she really does have a backer.”
After seeing Chi Yaoxi’s appearance, Mo Yuzhen thought that she was suppressed by her own aura. She looked at Chi Yaoxi with a mocking smile and continued, “To tell you the truth, the backer I found is definitely more powerful than yours!”
As expected, this stupid woman fell for it.?Chi Yaoxi pretended to look envious and deliberately continued to ask, “Could it be that you have a powerful and influential financial backer?”
Mo Yuzhen was so pleased with herself that she immediately nodded and admitted, “That’s right, so Chi Yaoxi, don’t worry. There’s no way you could fight with me!”
After hearing this, Chi Yaoxi calmly took out her phone from her pocket and pressed the key. With a confident smile on her face, she waved at Mo Yuzhen and said, “OK.”
What??Mo Yu Zhen instantly felt that something was amiss. She was shocked and frightened, her eyes widening in disbelief.?When did Chi Yaoxi switch on her phone? Did she record everything she said just now? Oh no, oh no…
“How dare you record this? You’re playing dirty tricks?”
“This is called giving others a taste of their own medicine. Isn’t this your usual trick? In the future, if you dare to deliberately cause trouble again, these recordings will be posted on various media websites. At that time, not only will you become famous, but you will also become so popular that you’ll become infamous. Do you believe me?” Chi Yaoxi raised her phone and warned Mo Yuzhen in the manner of a victor.
Mo Yuzhen was dumbfounded. What else could she do with such a huge weakness in her hands?
As expected of an actress, Mo Yuzhen instantly put on a fawning smile and began to put in a good word. “Yaoxi, it’s all my fault. I was too petty and shouldn’t have said that about you. I beg you, a great man will not remember the faults of a petty man. Please don’t put the recording on the Internet. In the future, I promise to be a good person and not find trouble with you, okay?”
Chi Yaoxi looked down on the current Mo Yuzhen the most. One moment, she was arrogant and domineering, the next moment, she was subservient. She likes bullying the weak and afraid of the strong and is useless. She glanced at her in disdain and left the dressing room without saying a word.
As she watched Chi Yaoxi walk out, Mo Yuzhen’s expression immediately changed. She was so angry that her face turned green. She gritted her teeth as she watched Chi Yaoxi leave. She swore fiercely in her heart.?She actually dared to go against me. I must make Chi Yaoxi pay a painful price!
Mo Yuzhen took out her phone and made a call without hesitation. Instantly, her tone became gentle and pleasant. “President Chen, what are you busy with? Are you free tonight? Do you want to treat me to dinner?”
President Chen agreed readily.
Hearing his quick agreement, Mo Yu Zhen said sweetly, “Alright, President Chen is such a straightforward person. How about I accompany you for another night? Can you do something for me?”
This was the first time Mo Yuzhen was so glad that she knew President Chen, who was in both the black and white ways. When it came to important matters, such people were still useful.
This President Chen was already over 50 years old. He was fat and short, and he had a big belly. His small eyes were filled with evil intentions.
When her friend introduced Mo Yuzhen to President Chen for the first time, Mo Yuzhen did not take this old and ugly man seriously at all.
In the end, only the two of them were left to eat and drink. President Chen went straight to the point and suggested she accompany him for a night to fulfill one of her wishes. Only then did Mo Yu Zhen realize that she might have met a big shot.
Sure enough, Mo Yuzhen’s wish was fulfilled. She accompanied this old man for a night and let him enjoy himself to his heart’s content. Although the process was unpleasant, it gave her a chance to play the role of the female lead in a blockbuster movie.
This made Mo Yuzhen even more certain of her outlook on life. Handsome men? Feelings? They were all nonsense. The most important thing was to be useful.
When they returned to the hotel, Mo Yuzhen changed into a sleeveless, backless flowery dress. She then carefully put on some makeup in front of the mirror before picking up her handbag and taking a taxi to the clubhouse.
When Mo Yuzhen alighted from the car, she took note of her surroundings. It was still very early, and the surroundings of the clubhouse were very quiet. No one entered or left. She wore a large sun hat that covered most of her face. She got out of the car and hurried towards the elevator in the lobby.
At this moment, Chi Yaoxi happened to pass by this clubhouse in a car.
From the corner of her eye, Chi Yaoxi saw a familiar back view. She raised her eyebrows and smiled.?Mo Yuzhen was directly giving her something to use against her?
“Stop for a moment, stop for a moment.” Chi Yaoxi immediately told the driver to stop, and she took a clear picture of Mo Yuzhen’s back.
Although she did not know why Mo Yuzhen came to this clubhouse, at least there was one thing she knew. The clubhouse was filled with both good and bad people. It was not a good place.?Could it have something to do with what happened on the set in the afternoon??Chi Yao thought about it and had a bad feeling.
The little fella, who was sitting at the side, did not say a word when he saw Chi Yaoxi deep in thought. He shook her hand and said in a childish voice, “Mommy, look, we’re here. We’re getting ready to get out of the car!”
The idea of shopping together was suggested by his mother. He was not interested in the items and toys in the shopping mall and thought that they were for childish children. And he was already a big child.
Of course, he did not reveal such thoughts. After all, he was very smart. As long as his mommy liked it and was happy, he would treat it as playing with her.
Chi Yaoxi held Chenchen’s small hand and wandered around the mall happily. In order not to be recognized, she even dressed up simply and wore a mask and hat.
Perhaps it was because the little guy was too cute, and in addition, although Chi Yaoxi was wearing a mask, her slim figure was still very eye-catching. The two of them still had people turn their heads very often.
The two of them walked around the children’s clothing section. Little Chenchen blinked his big eyes and said to Chi Yaoxi, “Mommy, I’ve said that there’s no need to buy clothes for me. I already have many new clothes.”
“Yes, we do. Baby, you can tell me which set you like. You don’t have to save money for me. Mommy will earn a lot from working, and I’ll be happier spending money with my little baby.”
Chenchen had no choice but to quickly run with his short legs to keep up with his mother’s footsteps. Finally, he chose a red and black sportswear.
The two of them carried the bags happily. As they passed by the men’s clothing section, the little guy thought of a good idea and deliberately slowed down his steps while holding his mommy’s hand.
“Mommy, it’s rare for you to come out to shop. So you should buy something for daddy too.”
Chi Yaoxi was stunned for a moment. She had not thought of this question before and casually said, “No need, Chenchen. Whatever your daddy wants, he will buy himself.”
However, the little fella pouted and refused to move. He even asked his mommy to bend down and whisper into her ear seriously, “Mommy, Daddy’s birthday is coming soon. Just buy whatever you want as a present.”
Birthday??Chi Yaoxi thought to herself.?Although this man’s personality was harsh and cold, and he didn’t smile all day long, he wasn’t a bad person and was also handsome. Alright, since it was his birthday, she would do as her son wished and buy something for him.
Chi Yaoxi chose a Goldlion brand tie for the little guy’s daddy. It was burgundy and had dark stripes. It also looked high-end and stylish. It matched the suit and shirt that the man usually wore.
She thought about the man’s tall and standard figure. He would look even more handsome when he’s dressed in a fitting suit and wearing her burgundy tie.
Chi Yaoxi could not help but smile.
Her phone vibrated. It was Sister Ming. Chi Yaoxi quickly answered the call.
“Yaoxi, where did you run off to? I just went to your room and knocked on the door, but you weren’t there.”
Chi Yaoxi lowered her voice and said, “Sister Ming, I’m sorry. I’m shopping with the little fellow. I wanted to call you when I went out, but I forgot about it after being busy.”
“You’re still out shopping at this time? And you’re bringing a child with you? Are you not planning to participate in the film festival?”
From the other end of the phone came Sister Ming’s angry questioning voice. Chi Yaoxi understood Sister Ming’s intentions and quickly explained in a low voice, “Sister Ming, don’t be angry. Don’t worry, I’ve been paying attention. I’m wearing a cap and a mask.”
Sister Ming was both angry and annoyed when she heard this. Why was this Chi Yaoxi so playful like a child? She was too careless. If they were targeted by entertainment reporters during this period of time and rumors spread all over the internet, then all their previous efforts to compete for this year’s Best Actress Award would have been in vain!
“You’re on your own! If anything happens again, the public relations won’t be able to save you!”
