Chapter 217: Enemies Are Bound to Meet Each Other Someday

In fact, Lin Mu’an was a sentimental man. He was quite handsome too. Hence, he was always surrounded by women from a young age. That was also why he was just like a Casanova. He could always get any kind of woman he wanted as long as he set his heart to it. Certainly, he had his own principles. He would never pursue his buddies’ women, homewreckers or married women.

He had much experience in matters of the heart. Moreover, his rich and sentimental feelings made him a renowned male writer. He had even produced a lot of bestsellers.

Actually, he was unaware that there was an actress called Lu Qianqian before he gained the actors’ name list. He was stunned for a short while the moment he saw that Lu Qianqian was recommended by the film company. He wondered whether she was one of the sponsors for the film.

“It’s better if we don’t take her up.” Lin Mu’an rejected it.

“But, Screenwriter Lin, this person is recommended by the sponsors. We have no choice.”

“I said that I don’t want her.” Although he liked the notion of falling in love, he needed to act fairly here. Lu Qianqian was a rich young lady and she had no acting skills at all. How dare she come for an audition? Why was she so brave?

“Then, could you please go and talk to the sponsors…”

Lu Qianqian burst into fury when she learned that she had been rejected the next day. The screenwriter did not want her.

The other screenwriters might not have any right to raise an opinion in choosing the cast. But, Lin Mu’an was different. He was a famous writer and he enjoyed great fame. What he said was important. The film was based on his novel. So, the sponsors needed to consider his opinions too.

So, Lu Qianqian was indeed outraged. She asked around and finally she got Lin Mu’an’s contact number from Papa Lu.

She held the phone in her hand. Finally, she called the obnoxious number. “I’m Lu Qianqian…”

“Is there anything important since you’re giving me a call, Miss Lu?”

“I know that you rejected my role. I’m pissed off at you! I want to beat people up!” Lu Qianqian bombarded him angrily. “You bastard! You write only cheap novels!”

“How savage… Didn’t you learn your lessons from the past?” Lin Mu’an smiled throughout the call. But, what he said angered Lu Qianqian even more.

“I didn’t. That’s why I want to go into acting to distract myself. I’m really interested in acting…”

Lin Mu’an smiled at the other end of the phone. He asked her, “I have the role of a palace maid. Do you want that? I even have a spy film that needs many corpses!”

“I want to act the role of your mother. Would you allow that?” Lu Qianqian gritted her teeth and retorted.

“Hmm…If you really want to distract yourself, I have a good job for you. Come and be my assistant. I promise that you’ll forget everything else.”

“Lin Mu’an, just you wait and see!”

Then, Lu Qianqian hung up the phone. That bastard! She would definitely take revenge on him.

On the other hand, Lin Mu’an was laughing throughout the call. That girl was rather interesting. If the others were rejected, they would call him to beg for the role or threaten him. That would be the first thing they did. But, that girl was different. She did not beg for it but scolded him angrily. She just wanted to unleash her anger upon him.

Lu Qianqian remembered something else after she hung up the phone. Mu Qiqi told her before that she had gone to the birthday party held by the Lin family. Moreover, she saw a man standing at the entrance of the hotel when she went shopping with Mu Qiqi the other day. At that moment, she thought that Mu Qiqi had abandoned the Crown Prince. But, Mu Qiqi told her that the man was the young master from the Lin family.

“Damn it! Enemies are bound to meet each other someday!” Lu Qianqian was furious when she remembered Lin Mu’an’s face. She soon called Mu Qiqi.

“Qiqi, you know a guy named Lin Mu’an. Isn’t it?”

Mu Qiqi had just finished her lesson. When she heard Lu Qianqian bringing up that name, she knew that Lu Qianqian and Lin Mu’an had realized each others’ existence. “Why did you bring him up all of a sudden?”

“I’m telling you now! We’re enemies now! I must take my revenge on him! He’s the one who destroyed my dream of becoming a star! Could you help me to ask him out?”

Mu Qiqi was speechless.

“Qianqian, are you sure? Do you know that Lin Mu’an is a Casanova?”

“Hmm! Are you afraid that I might fall in love with him? I’ll never fall in love with him even if I fall in love with a pig! He’s nothing but garbage!”

“Qianqian, I’m not close to him. We don’t know each other very well. You want me to ask him out so that you could take your revenge on him. Isn’t that a little bit weird?”

“You just tell him frankly that I want to meet him. Let’s see whether he will keep the appointment!”

Mu Qiqi knew Qianqian very well. She had a quick temper and that incident would explode someday. Moreover, Qianqian only became a coward once when she was being cheated on by Duan Shao’an. So, Mu Qiqi promised her after thinking about it for a while. “Fine, I’ll tell you more about it later on.”

Would Xiaoxiao be angry with Mu Qiqi if he knew that she wanted to ask another man out alone? Would he punish her by slapping her hip?

So, Mu Qiqi decided to let her man deal with it. Lin Mu’an would not refuse to come if it were Sheng Xiao who asked him out.

Lin Mu’an received a call from Huang Yao in the afternoon. Jing Yun said everything clearly and Lin Mu’an did not refuse it. The call only lasted for two minutes.

Then, Mu Qiqi replied to Lu Qianqian. They were going to meet each other in Huang Yao Hotel at noon the following day.

In fact, Lin Mu’an did not have to bother about Lu Qianqian and her ridiculous request. Jing Yun even said that he was bored. But, Lin Mu’an felt that Lu Qianqian was a rather interesting girl.

At least, he would not reject her if they were going to fall in love with each other.

Mu Qiqi would definitely accompany Lu Qianqian since she was going to meet Lin Mu’an. So, Sheng Xiao would be there too since Mu Qiqi would be there. His little one was going to meet another man. Certainly, he would go with her.

He hated the most if he was to pretend that he did not care about it and told Mu Qiqi how he believed in her. If anybody said so, it would only mean that he or she was doubtful.

If he cared about it, he could just go with her. He did not have to pretend himself.

***

After a few days of getting used to her new workplace, Shen Ruoyi knew about how things were in the new department. It was just like a center of gossip. There were a lot of rumors about Sheng Xiao. She did not know whether she should believe in those rumors. It was because she had no way to prove the validity of the rumors.

There was one thing she was sure of. She knew where Sheng Xiao’s office was in Huang Yao.

She longed to go there and take a look. Moreover, she wanted to make sure whether the rumors which were related to Sheng Xiao were true or false.

Shen Ruoyi wanted to take action when she had such thoughts, especially these past two days. She wanted to investigate it so badly.

Firstly, she needed to choose a time when Sheng Xiao was not around. Then, she needed to get hold of an access card to the executive office area.

It was how one would act if they fall in love deeply with somebody. They would try their best to gain any news regarding the person they love. They would be delighted even if it were only a little bit of news.

Mama Sheng had been observing Sheng Ruoyi. What Jing Yun said was right. Shen Ruoyi was inquiring about Sheng Xiao. It was hard not to notice what she was doing.

However, Sheng Xiao would never think of such a way to court Shen Ruoyi if he liked her. Moreover, Shen Ruoyi came from the Shen family. They needed to be careful while resolving this issue.

Furthermore, Mama Sheng did not like Shen Ruoyi at all.
