Something was not right!
Wasnât Huo Ci her companyâs boss? Did the companyâs boss have to interfere in his employeesâ personal relationships?
Hadnât there been rumors about their secret relationship on the internet?
Huo Ci and Ling Sheng were outside, while Chen Mo was hiding in the closet. The more he listened, the more he felt that Huo Ci was lecturing her like an old father lecturing his daughter.
He showed his extreme approval with every word he said.
Yes, yes, yes. He was too old!
Yes, yes, that was it. Girls had to be reserved and not take the initiative!
Yes, yes, yes. He was right. Old men lied to young ladies. How shameless!
Huo Ci had scolded her enough. Upon seeing that her attitude was quite good and that she had not retorted, he was quite satisfied. Then, he asked, âThat scumbag Old Jun said that you were rehearsing lines with Director Chen. Whereâs Director Chen?â
Ling Sheng stole a look at the closet out of the corner of her eye and cleared her throat before lying. âHe left before you came. Do you want to meet him?â
Huo Ci nodded and grunted in affirmation before saying, âIâm leaving.â
Ling Sheng walked him to the door. As soon as she saw him turn around, he pointed at her and whispered, âYou good-for-nothing. Whatâs so good about Third Master Jun?â
Why had he given birth to such a thing? The more he tried to stop her, the more encouraged she felt. She threw herself at him.
Ling Sheng could tell that when he had gone to find the Third Master, the two of them had talked about something. In any case, his attitude toward the Third Master seemed to have changed a little. He was not as firmly disapproving as he had been in the past, as he no longer showed the rage of wanting to kill someone. However, he wouldnât reduce the scoldings. If he did not scold someone, he would not be her father.
The moment Huo Ci left and Ling Sheng closed the door, Zhen Li opened her door. She took her phone out of a flower pot not far from Ling Shengâs door and smiled sinisterly.
Chen Mo could not hold it in anymore. His face was red as he gulped down a bottle of water, thinking of a strategy to deal with Huo Ci. He refused to meet him.
Ling Sheng said coldly, âDirector Chen, you have a feud with Senior Huo. Have you offended him? Are you afraid that heâll kill you when he sees you?â
Why did it feel like he was afraid?
âThere was a small conflict.â Chen Mo was aware of his situation, and the young lady was very smart. She would not believe him even if he said he did not know him.
Ling Sheng frowned and sized him up. You donât look like there was only a small conflict!
Huo Ci went to look for Chen Mo but did not find him. His assistant said that he had gone out and was not there. He thought that he would go to the film set tomorrow and went back to the hotel to rest.
When he went out, he saw a few big cars parked beside the door. Many workers were moving things, including sofas, furniture, and beds.
That b*stard Third Master Jun was quite sensible.
The moment he got in the car, someone knocked on the car window. It was a woman he did not know. Huo Ci was not happy, but he put on a gentlemanly smile. âMay I help you?â
Zhen Li looked at Huo Ci. The manâs handsome face was surrounded by the warm orange car light. His features were exquisite, and there was a smile on his lips. He was definitely the best man ever!
She tilted her body slightly, allowing Huo Ci to see her beautiful neck and profile. She deliberately stood on the curb of the road, her height revealing the exquisite figure under the cheongsam.
She knew what men liked about her the most. She was eye-catching from all angles. In a gentle voice, she said, âSenior Huo, my name is Zhen Li. You might not know me, but I have something to tell you privately. Can I come in and have a seat?â
