Chapter 997 - 906: Frustration
So Mo Wenwan and Qin Miaomiao attended the film screening, and there was a famous conversation when they encountered each other.Mo Wenwan said, "How does it feel to lose?"
Qin Miaomiao nodded and smiled, "There’s honor in defeat."
The scene of the two talking face to face was captured by the media and published on major headlines.
Old Sir Lu saw the photos of the two and thought about the previous verbal battle between Mo’s Film and Qin’s Film, coming up with a plan in his mind.
Lu Xing received a call from Old Master Lu and was thrilled beyond words. He had always wanted to gain Old Master’s favor, and now that the old man contacted him, did it mean he had achieved some success?
However, Old Sir Lu’s first words to Lu Xing shattered the sweet dreams bubbling in Lu Xing’s heart.
"Lu Xing, your girlfriend seems to be restless."
Lu Xing was, of course, aware of the open and covert rivalry between Mo Wenwan and Qin Miaomiao, but he couldn’t be bothered to intervene. Why meddle in other people’s business? It had nothing to do with him. But he forgot that he was now officially Mo Wenwan’s boyfriend, and in Old Sir Lu’s eager desire for grandchildren, Mo Wenwan would be the mother of his future children.
And since Lu Xing and Lu Qing are brothers, Qin Miaomiao and Mo Wenwan are considered sisters-in-law. If relatives make a scene too ugly, it’ll make outsiders laugh.
Lu Xing didn’t quite understand Old Sir Lu’s meaning for a moment.
Old Sir Lu said, "I don’t care about the things you young people do. But Qin Miaomiao is my daughter-in-law. Mo Wenwan knows this relationship and still dares to go against Qin Miaomiao. Is your girlfriend overlooking me, or overlooking you?"
Lu Xing accompanied with a smiling face, explaining, "Grandfather, these are just tactics to promote the film. Of all the things the media says, which one is true?"
Old Sir Lu waved his hand, "Small signs can indicate major issues. I’m just giving you a reminder. Don’t succumb to women."
Lu Xing laughed, "Grandfather, don’t scare me."
Old Sir Lu snorted coldly, "As long as you’re aware."
Lu Xing left Old Sir Lu’s house feeling quite unpleasant. When he started dating Mo Wenwan, he thought the woman was open-minded, just what he needed. A mutual arrangement, passionate and fitting.
Later, to appease Old Master Lu, he had Mo Wenwan pose as his girlfriend.
He thought she was a clever person, but didn’t expect she’d cause such trouble—Old Master Lu thinking he would fall because of a woman!
Only a cowardly man would be led by a woman; only a brainless man would be plotted against by a woman. He intended to accomplish great things, yet was unjustly crowned with these two labels.
The more Lu Xing thought about it, the more stifled he felt, but then suddenly realized, why should he be the only one feeling stifled? What about the main culprit?
Mo Wenwan was in a foul mood when she got a call from Lu Xing.
She had poured her heart into promoting Yin Xue’er, giving her the best resources, but what did she get in return? Scandalous incidents that shocked everyone, consistently awkward acting in each piece of work, and immature actions at public events...
If it weren’t for that face of hers, Mo Wenwan would really want to unilaterally tear the contract apart.
The only consolation was that the movie didn’t lose too much. She could shoot a new film and use it as collateral to completely cover the hole left by this movie.
But who should direct the new film?
Mo Wenwan was reluctant to use Yin Xue’er. But she couldn’t deny that Yin Xue’er’s face was a box office guarantee. After much contemplation, she decided to contact Yin Xue’er’s agent to free up some time.
