Chapter 413: Movie Conference

“Mo Li is a new actor. Since she just debuted, I don’t think her acting skill is that good. But as an idol, she is not that bad. The projects that she had participated in are not artful movies so they don’t need any acting skills. Plus, none of them are box office successes either. In fact, you can say most of her projects got famous due to side news like tragedies among the cast and crew. She sounds like a walking jinx to me.” Mo Li didn’t take the interview to heart. Seated at Huan Yu, Mo Li thought the woman in the interview gave quite an objective evaluation of her.

Unfortunately, the interview only lasted for a day before it was removed. Even the reporter who interviewed Song Xin was fired from her job. It was not the Mo Family who did these things. This happened because Huan Yu was trying their best to promote Mo Li.

Nie Li threw the article aside. Her face was dark. “Do you mind explaining to me how did you got involved in Jin Chuan’s movie? Are Lady in the Snow and Like A Willow not good enough for you? So that was why you went to participate in a small online movie?”

Mo Li didn’t answer. She couldn’t tell Nie Li that she did this to investigate a murder, could she?

“Never mind, I don’t want to hear your answer anyway. There is a movie conference tonight. Both you and Song Xin will attend the event. When you meet her, the reporters will make a big deal out of it. When that happens, this is what you need to say…”

…

The night was dark like heavy ink, it wouldn’t dissolve no matter what. It was dotted with twinkling stars. Mo Li sat quietly to the side, observing this movie conference filled with fakeness and insincerity.

“Miss Mo, your skin is so tender that I feel I can squeeze water out of it.” This Boss Guo was someone Nie Li had mentioned to Mo Li. Apparently, he was some famous investor. However, at that moment, his fatty hands were trying to massage Mo Li’s shoulders. Mo Li could not help but feel a chill run down her spine. Mo Li caught someone familiar out of the corner of her eyes. It was Han Xu who was surrounded by a group of beautiful women. Why is he here? Han Xu’s expression was serene as he held the glass of champagne in his hand.

Since Han Xu did not notice her, Mo Li would not take the initiative to go find him. However, the most imminent thing she needed to do now was to escape from Boss Guo. “I’m sorry, Boss Guo. Would you excuse me? I need to use the bathroom to touch up my make-up.”

Mo Li smiled and she moved away from the pervert’s hands. As Mo Li stood up, she slid her hand into his pocket to steal away Boss Guo’s phone.

“Hello, is this Mrs. Guo?” Mo Li stood on the balcony and spoke in an affected high tone.

As expected, the woman on the other end of the line exploded, “Who are you? Why are you calling me on my husband’s phone? Where is he?”

Mo Li shrugged and then continued in her whiny tone. She sounded embarrassed. “Mrs. Guo, your husband is at Pearl River Hotel. He is so drunk~ Aiyo, Boss Guo, please don’t do that. I am talking with your wife…”

After that, Mo Li ended the call and wiped down her fingerprints from the phone. Then she tossed the phone away.

The metallic shell of the phone drew a beautiful arc in the dark. Then it made a sound as it hit something. Mo Li had to raise her brows. Playing such pranks once in a while is quite amusing.

Just as Mo Li was about to leave, she felt a pair of eyes stare at her from the dark. By the time she noticed it, the owner of the eyes was already walking towards her.

Mo Li frowned and reacted quickly. She covered her face and then bent to retreat into the shadow. Any other person would look awkward doing this but Mo Li’s movements made her look like Catwoman.

Just as Mo Li was about to turn the other way to escape, there was a dull thud. Mo Li had run right into a water pipe. Mo Li cursed internally. She was not familiar with this place so it was why she had committed such a juvenile mistake.

The man who was walking towards Mo Li was shocked as if he didn’t expect this to happen to Mo Li.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mo Li turned around and ran away in a hurry. She flew down the stairs to the 1st floor of the venue.

Han Xu did not show any change to his expression. He stood there calmly. Standing among middle-aged men with big bellies and porky faces, he was so handsome that he practically shone.

His noble and refined temperament made it impossible for anyone to tell that he was the illegitimate son of the Han family. On the contrary, he looked like a child who had been raised as royalty since young.

At that moment, Mo Li finally understood why Qiao Qing and Mo Li had fallen for this man in the original book.

Naturally, for a man so outstanding, Qiao Qing and Mo Li were not the only women to have fallen for him. Many female characters were interested in him too, including Song Xin who was clinging to Han Xu.
