Chapter 527 - 529: Between Us Is Nothing More Than a Transaction [Extra for ’Boiled Fish’]
Mo Shu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly let out a disbelieving laugh, "Are you overthinking things? It’s just a fashion show, no one is going to die from it. What are you afraid of?"
Xia Pianpian cried even louder, "Mo Shu, you’re already bleeding inside your skull, don’t you know that! Please, don’t go. I’m begging you, I’ve never asked you for anything in my life, all I’m asking is for you not to go. I’ve already had Mr. Lu take care of it. You just focus on your recovery, okay? Once you’re healed, go back to school. You want to be a jewel designer in the future, don’t let a little thing like this leave you with lasting consequences!"
Mo Shu was at a loss because of her crying and said helplessly, "Enough now, it’s not such a big deal, stop crying."
As Xia Pianpian’s crying became unbearable, Mo Shu had no choice but to placate her by saying he wouldn’t go. Only then did Xia Pianpian stop crying and went to find something to feed her.
After Mo Shu finished eating, she fell asleep.
Xia Pianpian watched Mo Shu fall asleep before secretly going to call that person.
That person said that the contract had been terminated and Mo Shu didn’t need to do the show anymore. Only then did Xia Pianpian feel relieved.
Xia Pianpian said with a choked voice, "Thank you."
There was a moment of silence on the other end before the reply came, "Thank yourself, Pianpian, I’m not a philanthropist, our relationship is nothing more than a business transaction."
Xia Pianpian gave a wry smile, "Yes, I know. Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Mo Shu’s head was splitting.
She could feel the blood flowing in her brain, her senses clearer than they had ever been.
She heard Xia Pianpian making a phone call and could also hear her voice.
She heard Xia Pianpian put her phone down to charge and then, it seemed, Xia Pianpian went into the bathroom.
Mo Shu, enduring the headache, picked up Xia Pianpian’s phone.
Mo Shu’s fingerprint had been registered on Xia Pianpian’s phone.
Easily unlocking it, Mo Shu noted down that person’s number.
When Xia Pianpian came back out, Mo Shu appeared to still be asleep.
Xia Pianpian stayed a while longer, then wrote a note for Mo Shu and quickly left.
After she heard Xia Pianpian leave, Mo Shu picked up the phone and dialed Lu Jinsen.
Lu Jinsen, this being a private number, already had a guess when he saw this unfamiliar number.
As expected, as soon as he answered, Mo Shu got straight to the point, "Mr. Lu, is that you?"
Lu Jinsen responded indifferently with a sound.
Mo Shu said, "I don’t know what kind of deal that silly girl, Pianpian, made with you, but I am me and Xia Pianpian is Xia Pianpian. My contract has nothing to do with her. This show is my dream, and I must walk in it. You can’t destroy my contract."
Lu Jinsen laughed, "It has nothing to do with me. You should talk to Xia Pianpian."
Mo Shu was choked up, slightly angry, "You know she doesn’t like you, what’s the use of keeping her by your side?"
"It’s useful," Lu Jinsen said. "You get well, don’t make her sad, that would be good enough. As for the rest, it’s none of your business."
Although Mo Shu was angry, she quickly calmed down and said, "Mr. Lu, it’s clearly written on that contract, unless I personally pay the penalty for breach of contract and formally cancel in person, nobody else can do anything about it. I don’t know who you are, but it’s written in black and white. No matter how capable you are, you have to follow the contract, right?"
Lu Jinsen sneered, "You know your own body. Being stubborn won’t end well for you. If you don’t take good care of yourself, you’ll die."
Mo Shu said, "I won’t die, don’t use the same tricks on me that you use on Pianpian. I am not Xia Pianpian."
