Chapter 49: Snatched the Female Lead

They arrived at the Fang residence.

Shi Mo was worried that Fang Mo’er would be ostracized by the other members of the Fang family.

However, to his surprise, there were already a few people standing outside the entrance of the Fang family to welcome them.

Father Fang was not the only one. Even her step-sister was looking at the car excitedly.

The moment Fang Mo’er got out of the car, Father Fang was already in tears. “My good daughter, you’re finally willing to see me.”

Hence, Shi Mo saw a scene of harmony amongst the family.

Elsewhere, when Bai Rong found out that Mu Chen was actually the illegitimate child of the Mu family, she felt as though she had been struck by a lottery ticket.

As long as the Mu family put out some money, she would be able to have a smooth ride in the entertainment industry!

However, when she arrived at the Mu family, she realized that the situation was completely different.

The two young masters of the Mu family were high and mighty. They looked down on Mu Chen and often spoke coldly.

The only person who was kind to them, Mu Lan, also expressed that she would not support them financially unless Mu Chen admitted that he was not capable at all.

Mu Chen gritted his teeth and endured it. In the end, he did not ask for any money from the Mu family.

Bai Rong’s face instantly turned sour.

Bai Rong persisted and held Mu Chen’s hand. “Mu Chen, is it that important to save face? Haven’t you thought about me at all?”

She wanted to be the female lead so badly that she felt like she was going crazy.

This kind of opportunity was hard to come by.

Mu Chen gritted his teeth. “But if I open my mouth, I’ll never be able to raise my head in front of my two older brothers ever again!” It was equivalent to admitting that he was trash.

Bai Rong felt extremely regretful.

..

Fang Mo’er had a sumptuous meal at the Fang family home and received the warm gazes of her father and sister.

Father Fang hoped that Fang Mo’er would be able to move back home.

However, Fang Mo’er said, “Father, I’m already married. I’m Madam Shi now.”

Father Fang then looked at Shi Mo. “You’re already married?”

Shi Mo nodded and mentioned his name.

Everyone in the family had still been worried about Fang Mo’er suffering on the outside. Thus, this announcement caused them to be completely dumbfounded.

Shi Mo was the President of the largest entertainment company in the country!

“So don’t worry, I won’t be bullied!”

Fang Mo’er smiled.

She had another reason for coming back this time.

In the original novel, Bai Rong was to take on the female lead role in a movie that the Fang family had invested in.

“Father, I came back this time to ask you for a favor. I want to audition for the female lead in the movie that the Fang family has just invested in!”

She knew that Bai Rong would become famous because of this movie, and she did not want her to have this opportunity.

It just so happened that her three-year contract with the songwriting department was about to expire.

She could now leave and go on to have a good experience.

“If you want to be the female lead, it could just be arranged directly. What’s the point of auditioning?” Father Fang said.

The second Miss Fang also smiled and said, “That’s right. If sister wants to make a movie, we will definitely support her!”

Fang Mo’er shook her head and said, “I still prefer to rely on my own strength.”

So, why did you come here by the back door then?

Shi Mo lowered his head and smiled.

“Alright, our Mo’er has a backbone!”

Fang Mo’er had a younger brother and a younger sister. Because she had come in such a hurry this time, she did not even get to see what her younger brother looked like, before she had to leave in a hurry again.

She returned to the hotel and coincidentally met Mu Chen and Bai Rong who had just returned as well.

Both of their emotions were a little complicated.

Mu Chen was even more determined to support Bai Rong and let the Mu family know his strength.

Bai Rong was in a bad mood, but when she looked up, she saw Fang Mo’er smiling at her.

Fang Mo’er deliberately teased, “Oh, he still has relatives in Tiger City. Tsk tsk tsk, how ostentatious.”

Mu Chen frowned and looked over. He saw Fang Mo’er and Shi Mo’er holding hands, their eyes full of sarcasm.

Mu Chen’s heart could not help but sting.

It was the first time that he had seen Fang Mo’er showing such a disdainful expression. It was actually quite depressing.

Bai Rong perked up. “Fang Mo’er, I guess you didn’t know? Mu Chen is the young master of the Mu family. Very soon, the Mu family will announce this news and accept Mu Chen back into the family.”

Bai Rong looked as if she had already married into a wealthy family.

Fang Mo’er secretly sneered. It would be strange for the Mu family to announce this illegitimate child.

Bai Rong could just dream on.

Fang Mo’er held Shi Mo’s hand intimately and the two of them walked back to their room. There was no trace of resentment or jealousy on their faces.

Shi Mo stayed in the hotel for a while before quickly going to inspect the branch office in Shanghai.

Someone knocked on Fang Mo’er’s door.

When she opened the door, she saw that Mu Chen was standing at the door.

Without waiting for Fang Mo’er to say anything, Mu Chen walked straight in.

“What are you doing here?” Fang Mo’er turned around and saw Mu Chen sitting on the sofa, his face filled with displeasure.

When Mu Chen saw that there was no sign of Shi Mo in the room, he felt even more certain of his guess.

Fang Mo’er had deliberately brought a man with her to accompany her. Was she just putting on an act for him?
