446 Socializing

Chen Xiang sneered and walked away without saying anything else.

“Chen Xiang seems to be crazy. She keeps provoking us from time to time,” Tong Yue pursed her lips and said unhappily.

Mo Rao didn’t mind and smiled. “That’s just her personality. She’s used to being kissed up to. If you ignore her, she’ll get bored.”

“I have a hot temper and can’t take it, especially when she talks about you.” Tong Yue pursed her lips.

Mo Rao couldn’t help but say, “When I first met you, I thought you were a shy little girl. It turns out that you have such a bad temper.”

“We just met at that time, so I had to pretend.” Tong Yue scratched her head in embarrassment.

After filming that day, Mo Rao was about to leave when Jia Li stopped her and Xiao Yan.

“Mo Rao, Xiao Yan, are you guys free tonight? The Shen Corporation wants to treat our production team to a meal,” Jia Li asked.

Xiao Yan immediately agreed. “Sure, no problem.”

Jia Li’s gaze landed on Mo Rao. At the thought of facing Shen Jia directly, Mo Rao felt a little resistant. However, on second thought, if she didn’t go, wouldn’t Shen Jia think that she was a coward?

After thinking about it, Mo Rao decided to participate. “Alright.”

Jia Li said happily, “That’s great. Let’s go together.”

The Shen Corporation’s banquet was held at a Michelin restaurant. When the three of them arrived, Shen Ke and Shen Jia were already sitting in their seats. Shen Zhen was with them.

“Director Jia, I’ve long heard of you.” When Shen Ke saw Jia Li, he immediately stood up and exchanged pleasantries. “These two are Mo Rao and Xiao Yan, right?”

The Shen family knew Mo Rao very well. No matter what, she was Fu Ying’s ex-wife.

Mo Rao could tell at a glance that the Shen family was sizing her up, but she pretended not to see it and sat down gracefully.

“I’ve heard that Miss Mo is very beautiful. From the looks of it, it’s true.” Ever since Mo Rao arrived, Shen Zhen’s gaze seemed had been fixed on her. “I rarely dine with female celebrities. It’s rare for me to have a meal with a celebrity like Miss Mo, so let me toast you.”

As he spoke, Shen Zhen stood up and poured wine for Mo Rao.

Mo Rao didn’t like to drink alcohol, so she rejected tactfully, “Sorry, I don’t drink.”

At this moment, Shen Jia interrupted, “That shouldn’t be the case, right? As someone in the entertainment industry, don’t you have to socialize often? Or is it that you don’t want to drink with my brother?”

Shen Jia’s words aroused Shen Zhen’s displeasure. Shen Zhen said with a frown, “Miss Mo, you’re not giving me face.”

Mo Rao knew that nothing good would come from her coming to this meal.

“Miss Shen, Young Master Shen, Mo Rao usually doesn’t drink. Why don’t you let Director Jia and I drink on her behalf?” Xiao Yan had always been a gentleman and didn’t want to make things difficult for Mo Rao, so he took the initiative to say.

Shen Jia glanced at Xiao Yan and smiled. “I’ve heard about the rumors between the two of you before. Now, it seems like the rumors aren’t groundless.”

“We’re all on the same production team, so we’re all good friends.” Jia Li could vaguely sense the tension. He regretted bringing Mo Rao to this place.

If Fu Ying knew that he had led Mo Rao into a “dangerous situation”, wouldn’t Fu Ying scold him?

“Do you still want the investment in your movie? I just want to have a drink with the female lead. Is it that difficult?” Shen Zhen didn’t give up. He was used to getting his way. Usually, when he picked up girls, no woman would refuse his toast.

Although Fu Ying had invested a large sum of money in the movie, the more investments, the better. Facing Shen Zhen’s threat, Jia Li looked a little embarrassed.

Mo Rao didn’t want to make things difficult for Jia Li, so she picked up her wine glass and said to Shen Zhen, “Alright, then I’ll toast Young Master Shen.”

With that, Mo Rao drank the wine in her glass.

Shen Jia smiled. “That’s more like it.”

When Shen Zhen saw that Mo Rao had drunk, he became even more excited. He poured another glass of wine into Mo Rao’s glass. “Come, come, come. Continue drinking!”

Xiao Yan looked at Mo Rao and asked worriedly, “Can you hold your liquor?”

“It’s okay, I can drink a little,” Mo Rao whispered into Xiao Yan’s ear.
