Mu Ye would never show respect to just anyone. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the Veiled Queen take a drink from a glass of wine by herself.
This wine was a fruit wine with a very low alcohol content, so Fang Mo'er drank it without hesitation.
After she had finished drinking, she smiled at the people in front of her and said, "I'll be taking my leave first then!"
"Wait a moment!" Mu Ye said in a deep voice.
Fang Mo'er stopped in her tracks, with a smile still on her face. "I still have to rush to another event, so I really don't have much time. If Mr. Mu Ye needs to discuss anything further with me, can you contact me later?"
Fang Mo'er looked at the watch on her wrist anxiously.
The other people in attendance thought that Mu Ye had really enjoyed the performance of the Veiled Queen and just wanted to talk to her more.
However, wasn't the Veiled Queen busy?
Young Master Yun quickly said, "If that's the case, Young Master Mu, why don't you…"
Just then, Mu Chen's voice came from not far away, "Brother!"
Mu Chen walked over slowly and said to Mu Ye, "I heard that the person-in-charge of Chanel was at this banquet and deliberately came over to take a look. I think that Little Rong would be very suitable as the spokesperson for the China region for the brand!"
Mu Chen knew that the person-in-charge of Chanel had just arrived in the country recently.
Because Chanel had a partnership with the Mu family's store, the person-in-charge had been received by the Mu family over the past few days.
He heard that he had also been invited here today.
Mu Ye averted his gaze from the Veiled Queen and said, "I'll help you introduce to Mr. Chuck."
Fang Mo'er should have taken this opportunity to escape, but when she heard their conversation, her interest was immediately piqued.
Little Tian tugged at Fang Mo'er's skirt. "Sister, if we're not leaving, why are we still going over?"
"Well, it's not like we'll lose anything if we go over!"
So, was Bai Rong trying to get the endorsement for the perfume?
She wanted to see what was going on.
Mu Ye brought Mu Chen over to a foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes. He introduced, "This is the person in charge of Chanel's China region, Mr. Chuck. This is my younger brother, Mu Chen."
Mu Chen hurriedly shook hands with him. If not for his identity as a member of the Mu family, he might not have even been able to meet Mr. Chuck.
Mu Chen said, "Mr. Chuck, I was wondering what kind of requirements you have for selecting a new spokesperson. I have a few artistes under me who might be able to work with you!"
Chuck smiled and said, "Our new perfume this time is a perfume that has a wild, mysterious and feminine scent. We'll need to find a temperament that matches these elements."
Mu Chen knew that the most important part of perfume was the feminine temperament, and Bai Rong was perfect for it.
He quickly recommended Bai Rong to him.
"Okay, you can send me her information then. We've received quite a few artistes' information in the past few days and are in the midst of the selection process."
From the side, Fang Mo'er touched her chin when she heard this.
Mu Ye had already forgotten about the Veiled Queen. He had initially thought that this woman had taken the opportunity to run away again. He had not expected to see the Veiled Queen standing nearby, observing him.
Was she that obedient this time? If he asked her to stand still, would she really stand still?
At this moment, Young Master Yun suddenly said, "Next, we will be having a horse race. The first place winner will get a Ferrari sports car! Everyone can sign up to participate."
Fang Mo'er heard this and walked directly to Mu Ye and said, "Since Young Master Mu wants me to stay a little longer, I'll participate in this event. If I win, everything that happened before will be written off."
Fang Mo'er thought to herself, 'I can't possibly take a detour every time I see Young Master Mu.'
After all, it was just a small matter to begin with.
It was better to end it as soon as possible.
Mu Ye raised his eyebrows. "What if you lose?"
Fang Mo'er smiled. "It would be normal for me to lose. After all, I don't ride horses very often. You can consider it as something to help Young Master Mu cheer up."
What she really meant was, 'I'm just a young lady, you can't be calculative with me, right?'
Mu Ye could not find any fault with this suggestion at the moment.
This woman's business was definitely profitable.
Mu Ye said, "If you do lose, you have to promise me one thing."
Fang Mo'er blinked awkwardly.
"The Veiled Queen can't afford to lose, right?" Young Master Yun deliberately teased.
"Alright then, if I lose, you can make a small request." Fang Mo'er compromised, before adding, "Let me go and change into a suitable outfit first."
Little Tian followed Fang Mo'er as she left, feeling dumbfounded.
"Sister Fang, why are you suddenly going to ride a horse?"
"I'm not going to ride a horse, I'm going to perform."
Fang Mo'er went to the shopping mall and picked out a set of clothes that she liked.
This set of clothes was red and totally unsuitable for riding a horse.
However, the hem of the clothes was exceptionally beautiful and could fly in the wind.
Little Tian was still confused.
However, when Fang Mo'er changed into the outfit, Little Tian's eyes lit up.
At this moment, Fang Mo'er looked extremely seductive.
"Do I look good?"
"Yes," Little Tian mumbled.
"As long as it looks good. Didn't you hear Mr. Chuck say that he wants to find a wild, mysterious, and feminine spokesperson? Look at my red dress, is it feminine enough?"
Little Tian reacted, "Indeed."
"Then, look at my veil, isn't it mysterious?"
Little Tian nodded again, it was indeed very mysterious. "Sister Fang, so your intention for competing in the horse riding competition is to show your wild side?"
Fang Mo'er did not answer. Instead, she walked straight out of the shopping mall and rushed to the competition venue.
She, Fang Mo'er, had all the elements that Chuck wanted.
Therefore, this horse riding competition was not just going to be a competition. It would also be a performance, a display.
The horse racing competition was simply the best venue for her performance.
What would best express the theme of being wild? Of course, it was movement.
At the competition venue, the people who had originally been drinking in the hall had already come out one after another. Many of them had joined the competition due to the lure of the prizes.
Mu Chen was a little surprised when he heard that the Veiled Queen would be staying behind to participate in the competition.
At this moment, even the person in charge of this event, Young Master Yun, was a little excited.
"Eh, has the Veiled Queen not changed her clothes yet? Let's wait for her!"
"Young Master Yun, you command so much respect that even the Veiled Queen is staying behind to participate in the competition!"
"This is all because of Young Master Mu's reputation!"
Mu Ye frowned and looked at the time.
Half an hour had already passed. Did it take that long to change into a new outfit? Had she run away again?
The person in charge of Chanel stood to the side and observed everything, occasionally speaking to Mu Ye.
"She's coming, she's coming!" Someone shouted from the entrance.
In an instant, everyone looked in the direction of the horse farm and saw a figure dressed in red among all the male competitors.
Fang Mo'er chose a white horse and slowly walked towards the starting point of the competition.
All the people present were attracted by her attire.
The sun was setting and the Veiled Queen was dressed in red as she rode her horse over. The visual impact of the combination was extremely astonishing.
In addition, Fang Mo'er was currently exuding the feminine beauty of a woman.
Everyone in the venue stepped back to allow Fang Mo'er to join the competition team.
"As expected of an artiste, her every move is so stylish!"
"It's a pity, the Veiled Queen, as a woman riding a horse, how could she possibly win against so many men?"
Chuck was attracted to Fang Mo'er at first glance and could not help but ask Mu Ye, "Who is this person? What is her name?"
Mu Ye continued to stare at Fang Mo'er and gave a mocking smile. What kind of place did the Veiled Queen think this place was? Her outfit would surely become more cumbersome to her later on. She would probably end up in last place.
Young Master Yun replied on Mu Ye's behalf, "This is a popular singer. Her stage name is the Veiled Queen! No one knows her true background."
Even if they investigated, they would not be able to find out.
She was a very mysterious artist.
Chuck was stunned. She had a sense of mystery and femininity. The Veiled Queen already had all these elements. all that was missing was a wild beauty.
However, looking at the Veiled Queen's soft and delicate appearance, it was difficult to have that kind of feeling.
Since the Veiled Queen had arrived, the competition could now officially begin.
The referee whistled and someone rode out.
However, there were still many people surrounding Fang Mo'er.
Because Fang Mo'er did not move, half of the riders around her could not bring themselves to move either.
"Miss Veil, you're too beautiful. I'm willing to follow behind you."
"After the competition ends, can I treat you to a meal?"
Fang Mo'er smiled sweetly when she saw how attentive everyone was. "Sure, we'll talk about it after you catch up to me."
Immediately after saying that, the Veiled Queen squeezed her horse's belly and dashed away.
The people behind her also rushed out as if they were on stimulants.
However, they could not catch up with the Veiled Queen, no matter how hard they tried.
On the horse farm, the figure with the red outfit shot out like a bolt of lightning, getting closer and closer to the horses at the front.
The onlookers could not help but whistle and cheer.
"That young girl can't possibly win first place, right?"
"That woman in red is extremely fast. I've never seen a woman ride a horse so fast and so wildly!"
The two horses that were fighting for the first place were still chasing after each other. Suddenly, they heard the uproar from the crowd and were a little confused.
Suddenly, the two of them looked back at the same time and saw a dazzling red getting closer and closer at an extremely fast speed.
The two men in front were both stunned and sped up.
However, no matter how hard they tried to go, they could not beat the woman behind them.
At the critical moment, the Veiled Queen's figure surpassed the first runner in front and soon left him behind.
When the Veiled Queen won first place, everyone was dumbfounded.
Chapter 83: Used Her as the Prototype
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chuck held up his camera and took pictures of the Veiled Queen's every move as she passed him. He was very excited.
The wildness that he was looking for was there.
This Veiled Queen was very suitable to be the spokesperson for this new perfume.
"Veiled Queen, this is your prize!"
The referee handed the car keys over to Fang Mo'er.
Fang Mo'er pushed the car keys into Xiao Tian's arms and said, "Please drive this car back to the company for me."
She still had to continue filming, so she couldn't drive this car and let her identity be recognized.
Xiao Tian understood and immediately went to do as she was asked.
Fang Mo'er did not stay any longer and immediately left the house in a taxi.
When the rest of the nobility arrived at the finish line, there were a few people who still tried to look for the Veiled Queen, but they could not find her.
"Such an amazing woman really exists in this world!"
"Does anyone know who the Veiled Queen is?"
"This goddess was so cool as she was riding the horse."
Fang Mo'er had just returned to the hotel when she received a call from Shen Yue.
"Miss Fang, what did you do today? Why has Chanel's manager specifically asked for you to attend the audition for the spokesperson?"
This time, Chanel was intending on choosing a new spokesperson for the China region. Many entertainment companies were prepared to send their most highly sought-after artistes over for consideration.
After all, this was an international product. The artistes that were endorsed would have a much higher profile.
Initially, Shen Yue had not thought of recommending the Veiled Queen. After all, she was only a singer and was not very popular yet.
However, she had not expected the other party to directly ask for the Veiled Queen to participate.
This meant that the Veiled Queen's image was very suitable for the other party's spokesperson requirements. Shen Yue had been surprised and had quickly called to ask about it.
"Sister Shen, I was at the event venue today and happened to see the person in charge of Chanel… so I…" Fang Mo'er told her about her sudden inspiration to directly participate in the competition.
Shen Yue sighed and said, "You really know how to seize the opportunity and save me a lot of trouble! Prepare yourself in a few days to attend the spokesperson audition."
"Okay, Sister Shen."
Shen Yue smiled and said, "When the time comes, don't expose yourself and let others know your true identity. However, even if you do expose yourself, it's not a big deal. At most, you can just admit it openly!
"I'm afraid that Mu Chen will become a laughingstock when the time comes. It's really not a rational decision to chase a talented person like you out of the company and insist on supporting Bai Rong!"
Fang Mo'er raised her eyebrows when she heard that. "Sister Shen, I still want to use my identity as the Veiled Queen. I won't give myself away so quickly!"
Shen Yue laughed and said, "That's good, too. Just your acting alone can crush her. No matter what, it's only that the person has poor taste."
Fang Mo'er joined in her laughter.
Chanel's manager, Chuck, sent the video recording of the horse farm to the headquarters.
That dazzling red, that wild and beautiful nature, that mysterious Oriental woman had indeed attracted the attention of the headquarters.
"Chuck, where did you find a woman like that? She's extremely suitable to be our spokesperson!"
"Was this taken out of a live feed?"
Chuck smiled and said, "Of course not. I just happened to find her!"
Someone on the other side said, "I've suddenly had an inspiration. I think that the spokesperson of our perfume can appear on the screen with a veil. When the time comes, the prince will have a horse race, and a veiled woman will suddenly appear and win the prize. However, she will then mysteriously disappear without a trace, leaving people with an evocative feeling!"
1
The one who had spoken was the marketing executive in charge of advertising ideas at the headquarters.
On their end, they were already busy designing the advertising plan.
With that video, it gave the advertising department a lot of inspiration. It was based on the image of the Veiled Queen.
Red clothes, veils, riding horses, and mysteriously disappearing.
1
Later, at another banquet held by the Prince, the Veiled Lady would appear like a king. She would surpass many women who were trying to get the attention of the Prince. The Prince would then immediately chase after the veiled lady.
He would turn around the corridor and push open the room where the veiled lady was.
However, he would find the room empty. There would only be a breeze that carried the fragrance through the open window.
The prince would then walk to the window and only be able to see the veiled lady walking away on the street.
At that point, the advertisement's slogan would appear, "Who is she? Chanel perfume 'She'."
This edition of the advertisement plan received unanimous praise.
The person from the headquarters said, "Let's shoot according to this concept. As for the candidate, it would be best if that veiled lady plays it!"
Chuck smiled and said, "We have already informed this lady to attend the spokesperson selection audition. If nothing goes wrong, it should be her!"
Even the advertising idea had specially tailored for the Veiled Queen.
Other than the Veiled Queen, there was no other suitable person.
Chapter 84: Applied for Leave at the Same Time
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the production.
As Fang Mo'er was rehearsing with Lang Qi, Bai Rong received a phone call.
When Fang Mo'er walked down, she heard congratulatory voices all around her.
Bai Rong's assistant smiled and said, "This time, the other party specifically asked our Sister Bai to audition to be the spokesperson! The other party has business dealings with the Mu family. Under the same conditions, the other party would definitely be more willing to choose our Sister Bai."
The surrounding staff instantly understood that this was a conflict of interest. It seemed that this Chanel endorsement was very likely to be Bai Rong's.
Bai Rong said to Director Wang, "Director Wang, I won't be free tomorrow afternoon. Can I move my scene?"
Director Wang said understandingly, "Sure, I'll shoot another scene tomorrow afternoon then."
After Bai Rong left with a smile on her face, Fang Mo'er walked to Director Wang's side.
"Director Wang, I'll also be taking leave tomorrow afternoon. Could you shoot another scene first?"
Director Wang looked at her in surprise. "What a coincidence, do you guys have other jobs at the same time?"
"Yes, yes." Fang Mo'er pointed in Lang Qi's direction. "Fortunately, Lang Qi is still here, so you can shoot him first."
Lang Qi, "…"
The f*cking female lead and second female lead would not be here, so he would have to do a one-man show.
Bai Rong's assistant quickly ran back and told Bai Rong about Fang Mo'er's leave of absence.
"What? She also took a leave of absence?" Bai Rong felt a little uneasy and quickly called Mu Chen. "Brother Mu Chen, do you know how many candidates will be there for the spokesperson's audition?"
Mu Chen said, "I was just about to call you. I just received the preliminary script for the advertisement. The female lead in it is a woman wearing a red dress and a veil."
Mu Chen said in a deep voice, "I reckon that this advertisement has been planned based on the image of the Veiled Queen."
"What? Why is this happening? Could it be that the candidate for this advertisement has already been decided on?" Bai Rong asked nervously.
Could it be that Fang Mo'er had done something to cause the decision to be made in advance?
"Listen to me. It was by coincidence that I was there that day… So, Mr. Chuck seems quite satisfied with the Veiled Queen. Our chances of winning this time are not high. I'm already helping you to choose other endorsements."
Bai Rong clenched her fists, unwilling to give up. Fang Mo'er was deliberately snatching endorsements from her.
Otherwise, why would she want to participate in the horse race in front of Chuck?
She was such a schemer.
"Sister Bai, what should we do then?" The assistant asked worriedly.
It seemed like this time, they had been celebrating for nothing.
Bai Rong sneered, "The matter hasn't been settled yet. Nothing is certain yet."
That night, as Chuck was eating, he unexpectedly bumped into Bai Rong.
Bai Rong deliberately passed by with her assistant and asked in feigned surprise, "You're Mr. Chuck, aren't you?"
Chuck recognized her at a glance. "Hello, Miss Bai."
Previously, Mu Chen had specially recommended Bai Rong and even showed Chuck some fashion photos of Bai Rong. Chuck had been quite satisfied with Bai Rong, but now he was even more satisfied with the Veiled Queen.
If not for the Veiled Queen, Chuck would have been willing to do the Mu family a favor and sign Bai Rong on directly.
"Mr. Chuck, would it be convenient for us to have a meal together?" Bai Rong asked.
Chuck smiled and said, "Sure!"
Bai Rong proceeded to intentionally or subconsciously inquire about Chuck's good impression of the Veiled Queen. When she learned that the headquarters was indeed intending on having the Veiled Queen as the spokesperson, Bai Rong had a strange expression on her face.
Choosing a suitable time to bring it up, Bai Rong said, "Mr. Chuck, don't you ever wonder why the Veiled Queen would wear a veil and refuse to reveal her true appearance? About what kind of face is underneath that veil? If the Veiled Queen's true appearance is exposed and she is very ugly, I'm afraid that the sales of the perfume will be affected."
Chuck could not help but fall into deep thought. "I hadn't thought about this."
It was true that no one had ever seen the true face of the Veiled Queen.
It was indeed quite risky to give the endorsement to such an uncertain factor.
Unless… the Veiled Queen was willing to take off her veil.
"If it wasn't for something that she was unwilling to reveal to others, who would wear a veil for no reason?" Bai Rong chuckled.
Chuck suddenly said, "I will report this situation to Headquarters."
..
At the hotel.
Fang Mo'er was on a video call with Shi Mo, telling him about her upcoming endorsement campaign.
Shi Mo raised his eyebrows. "But why didn't you use your real identity? Why did you have to use the Veiled Queen?"
Fang Mo'er pouted. "I'm still a newcomer, I'm not qualified enough to accept advertisements yet. At least the Veiled Queen is somewhat popular."
Shi Mo smiled. "Whatever advertisement you want, just let me know. You can choose from any of the top ten brands."
Fang Mo'er blinked. "Hubby, are you that powerful?"
"What do you think?"
Fang Mo'er replied, "All along, I've only known that Star Dream Era is the largest entertainment company in the country!"
Even so, surely it was not to the extent of being able to choose to have any brand endorsement you wanted.
Then, you still don't understand the Shi family's influence. In the past few years, the Shi family has shares in the country's largest video website and the largest online shopping platform. It's not just an entertainment company! Anyone who wants to place an advertisement can't avoid our Shi family! So, don't you think I have the right to say that?"
Fang Mo'er stammered, "Alright then, in the future, I'll look for you if I want to endorse any brands. But this time, I have absolute confidence."
Shi Mo smiled. "By coincidence, I'll be heading over there for a business trip tomorrow. I'll send you over for the audition."
Fang Mo'er almost jumped out of bed. "When are you coming over?"
"12 midnight." Shi Mo looked at his watch.
"I'll come to pick you up."
Fang Mo'er was suddenly a little excited. Ever since she had followed the production team to Shanghai City, she had been working tirelessly every day. It was also not easy for Shi Mo to find the free time to come over.
There were not many people at the airport at 12 midnight.
Bai Rong personally sent Mu Chen to the airport.
Mu Chen had built a good relationship with the Mu family over the past few days and had received a lot of investment. He was now returning to the Capital to promote Bai Rong better.
"Brother Mu Chen, don't worry. I'm confident that I can get this endorsement." Bai Rong looked at him fondly.
Mu Chen's heart melted. He quickly said, "You don't have to push yourself too hard."
"I know, Brother Mu Chen. Just wait for my good news."
Bai Rong did not tell Mu Chen that she had already bad-mouthed the Veiled Queen to Chuck. She intended on getting the endorsement herself so that she could present it to Mu Chen. She wanted to tell him that everything he had invested in her was worth it.
She, Bai Rong, would one day stand on the international stage and become a dazzling star in the entertainment industry.
Just as the two of them were bidding each other farewell, several security guards surrounded the area on the other side, in an orderly manner.
"Brother Mu Chen, I'll see you in a few days then." Bai Rong swept a glanced over there before goodbye to Mu Chen.
When Mu Chen left, all Bai Rong could see was a tall and straight figure slowly walking out not far away under the escort of the security guards.
That person was too far away to be seen clearly, but he seemed to be a person of high authority.
Bai Rong wanted to go and take a closer look but was stopped by the security guards.
"May I ask, who that person is?" Bai Rong asked in confusion.
The security guard said, "That is the Eldest Young Master of the Shi family."
The Eldest Young Master of the Shi family, Shi Mo, had always been very mysterious. His picture had never appeared on the Internet before.
All they knew was that Shi Mo had many capable subordinates, and he only stood behind the scenes to direct everything.
For example, Star Dream Era, the largest entertainment company in China, was only managed by an acting president that had been appointed by Shi Mo.
There was also Qihang Film and Television, a large company that had produced many famous movies and television dramas. It was also managed by an acting president who was also appointed by the Shi family.
As expected, Shi Mo, as the current leader of the Shi family, was already the richest person in the country.
How could such a mysterious and noble man not make any woman fall for him?
Bai Rong stood rooted to the spot.
In the end, all she could see was his exit from the airport. A black car was parked outside. The man opened the car door and got into the car.
The profile of his face was shrouded in shadows the entire time.
Bai Rong gritted her teeth, quickly got into her car, and start following behind the other car.
In the other car.
Assistant Yu was driving while Fang Mo'er went to the back seat and sat beside Shi Mo.
"Honey, are you cold?" Fang Mo'er thoughtfully put a scarf around Shi Mo's neck and circled it.
The temperature had dropped over the past few days, and the air was getting colder and colder.
Fortunately, there was no snow in the city all year round. At most, it was just a cold breeze.
Shi Mo'er felt a warmth in his heart. He quickly pulled Fang Mo'er into his embrace and lowered his head to give her a kiss.
"Have you missed me these past few days, hmm?"
Fang Mo'er blinked her eyes and then blinked again. She smiled widely and said, "Take a guess!"
The two of them spoke without care. The assistant in front of them looked on expressionlessly as he drove.
When they reached the hotel, Shi Mo followed Fang Mo'er into her room.
Assistant Yu had booked another room.
When Bai Rong arrived at the entrance of the hotel, she saw Assistant Yu entering the elevator.
She quickly chased after him, but the elevator door had already closed. In the end, Bai Rong could only see that the elevator had gone straight to the highest floor. It was not a place that was authorized to go.
With a slight disappointment in her eyes, Bai Rong could only leave first.
The hotel's security was very tight, so even if she asked for information about the person staying there, she would not be able to find out anything.
In another room.
Fang Mo'er looked at him in surprise. "You booked the presidential suite, but you don't need it. Aren't you downgrading yourself by coming to my room?"
Shi Mo smiled. "Why? Would you like to move up too?"
Fang Mo'er smiled. "There's no need to go back and forth. My room is quite comfortable."
Fang Mo'er's room was not bad either. It was a luxurious suite that was very much in keeping with her status as the eldest daughter of the Fang family.
Shi Mo tidied up his luggage.
When he turned around, he saw that Fang Mo'er was curled up in bed.
He took out a hot water bottle from his luggage and filled it with hot water before passing it to her.
Fang Mo'er blinked her eyes.
Seeing that she was not moving, Shi Mo bent over and placed the hot water bottle on her stomach.
"I saw that your hands and feet were cold just now. You've been having your period these past few days, so I'll warm your stomach for you."
"How did you know?" Fang Mo'er looked at him in surprise.
Shi Mo chuckled silently.
Only then did Fang Mo'er remembered that she had soiled a set of bed sheets the previous month and could not help but feel a little embarrassed.
However, this was so very thoughtful.
She could not believe that he had even specially prepared these things for her.
"I took care of everything that needed to be taken care of, a few days ago. I cleared up my schedule so that I could spend more time with you on the set," Shi Mo said softly.
It was already one in the morning.
He rolled over onto the bed and pulled her into his embrace.
Fang Mo'er found a warm spot to lean against, feeling completely at ease. She heard him say in a deep and magnetic voice, "I'll send you to the spokesperson selection venue tomorrow."
The next day at noon.
Shi Mo went to drive the car as Fang Mo'er walked to the entrance of the hotel and waited.
Coincidentally, a red sports car slowly started to approach.
Fang Mo'er did not think much of it at first, but when the car arrived in front of her, not only did it not slow down, but the accelerator increased instead.
The red sports car suddenly headed straight for Fang Mo'er.
Fang Mo'er quickly dodged it.
The car brushed against her skirt before coming to a sudden stop.
She narrowed her eyes. She could not believe that there would be some who would so brazenly bump into people in broad daylight.
Was the person that fearless?
The car window then rolled down, revealing a face wearing sunglasses. The woman took off her sunglasses and gave a mocking smile. "Oh, I haven't seen you for a few days. You're very skilled now."
Fang Mo'er did not recognize the other party at all.
However, the other party did not introduced themselves. "I heard that you're still pestering my cousin until now. You've already left your job, yet you're still using the identity as a shareholder to deliberately stay in the board of directors! Fang Mo'er, why are you so shameless?"
Only then did Fang Mo'er remember that the person who had come was Chu Xiao, who had often mocked her original character in the books. This was Mu Chen's cousin. In the past, she had often teased her original character, but the original character had always ignored her for Mu Chen's sake. As a result, Chu Xiao had become even more aggressive.
Fang Mo'er narrowed her eyes. She was not as easy to bully as her original character.
Just as Chu Xiao was mocking Fang Mo'er like a proud peacock in the car.
All of a sudden, Fang Mo'er took a step forward and pulled Chu Xiao out of the car. She pressed her against the car door and slapped her.
"Slap!"
The loud sound and the burning pain on her face stunned Chu Xiao.
She was completely shocked. Fang Mo'er, who would usually only know how to smile placidly back at her, was now glaring at her fiercely and even daring to hit her.
"Fang Mo'er, what are you doing?" Bai Rong had come out of the hotel. She had witnessed Fang Mo'er being bullied and had deliberately watched the show for a while. However, she had not expected Fang Mo'er to suddenly go crazy. Thus, she had no choice but to come out and intervene.
"Sister Bai, has Fang Mo'er gone crazy?" Chu Xiao was stunned and looked at Bai Rong in disbelief.
Bai Rong took a step forward and quickly pulled Fang Mo'er away. She stood between the two of them and glared at Fang Mo'er with dissatisfaction.
Fang Mo'er sneered, "Just try me, and you'll see whether I'm crazy or not."
For a moment, even Bai Rong was frightened by Fang Mo'er's ruthlessness.
The two women took two steps back.
Chu Xiao came back to her senses and angrily pointed at Fang Mo'er. "Fang Mo'er, how dare you hit me? I'm going to tell my cousin about it. I won't forgive you unless you slap yourself twice now."
After Chu Xiao had finished speaking, she waited for Fang Mo'er to give in to her. In the past, whenever Fang Mo'er heard Mu Chen's name, she would immediately compromise. Even if she was splashed with coffee, she would smile and pretend that it had never happened.
But now, after Chu Xiao's harsh words had been released, she saw that Fang Mo'er's expression remained cold.
Fang Mo'er pointed at Chu Xiao's car. "Attempted murder. Even if your cousin comes, it will be useless!"
Fang Mo'er then pointed at the hotel's surveillance camera. "The evidence is conclusive. It looks like you'll be put away for a few years."
After saying that, she mercilessly took out her phone and dialed 110.
Bai Rong and Chu Xiao immediately panicked.
"Wait a minute, Sister Fang, it's all a misunderstanding!" Bai Rong hurriedly said.
Chu Xiao was also extremely scared. "Fang Mo'er, you can't be serious! I won't bully you in the future, alright? On account of my cousin, please let me off this time. I only meant to give you a scare just now, it wasn't my intention to actually hit you."
Chu Xiao's face turned pale with fear.
Fang Mo'er looked at Chu Xiao's eyes that were filled with fear. Chu Xiao had always been the kind of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Only by taking advantage of the love Fang Mo'er's original character felt for Mu Chen, Chu Xiao had dared to bully her original character. However, it had only been a variety of pranks with no real intention of killing her.
Chu Xiao would not really dare to kill someone on the street.
However, every now and then someone would stand up against her and force her to do something disgusting to herself. She would either have to splash water all over herself or insult her to her face. Just thinking about it made her feel extremely annoyed.
Fang Mo'er was intentionally making Chu Xiao want to avoid her whenever she saw her in the future.
"It's not impossible for me to let you off this time though. How about this? In the future, you can call me great-aunt whenever you see me. I'll let you off this time. If you can't do it, then I can send today's surveillance footage to the police station at any time."
Chu Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. She could only willingly call out to Fang Mo'er, "Great-aunt."
Fang Mo'er said coldly, "Why are you still here? Scram!"
Chu Xiao felt as though she had been pardoned and quickly pulled Bai Rong away.
In the car, Chu Xiao was still wiping her sweat away. "It's too scary. Why does Fang Mo'er seem like a different person now?"
Bai Rong frowned as well. "It looks like she really hates because of love now."
Chu Xiao was anxious and uneasy. In the past, she had still been able to control Fang Mo'er, but now it seemed that she would be lucky if she did not end up as Fang Mo'er's target to vent her anger.
Moreover, she still had some evidence in Fang Mo'er's hands. In the future, she would have to avoid Fang Mo'er whenever she saw her.
Bai Rong looked at her frightened expression and could not help but curse at her silently. However, she comforted her by saying, "You don't have to worry too much. Even if Fang Mo'er really sues you, at worst, the Mu family will hire the best lawyer for you. In the end, all her efforts will go to waste."
With the Mu family's financial resources, it would be a piece of cake for them to protect anyone.
Only then did Chu Xiao feel slightly at ease.
Soon after, Shi Mo drove his car up to stop in front of Fang Mo'er.
After Fang Mo'er got into the car, she did not inform Shi Mo about the incident earlier.
However, Shi Mo suddenly said, "I just received news that someone on the Internet is smearing the identity of the Veiled Queen, saying that you are extremely ugly in person."
This news had coincidentally been posted on the platform under Shi Mo's name and had been intercepted. The other party had immediately notified Shi Mo.
Shi Mo had immediately directed the other party to nip this rumor in the bud.
As a result, there had only been a few minutes delay.
When Fang Mo'er heard this, she thought for a moment and was not surprised. "There must be someone who doesn't want me to take the position as the perfume spokesperson!"
If the news that the Veiled Queen was ugly spread, no matter how good Fang Mo'er's performance was, the other party would not want to sign a contract with the Veiled Queen, in case it did not conform to the image of the company.
The Veiled Queen was exactly the point that the other party could use to attack Fang Mo'er.
Unless the Veiled Queen was willing to reveal her true appearance to others, there would definitely be speculation regarding the Veiled Queen's true appearance.
Fang Mo'er suddenly had a headache. "It seems that this matter isn't that easy to handle."
She was not willing to expose her identity so quickly, but at the same time, she was not willing to give up on the perfume endorsement.
"It's not like there's no other way. You can get someone trustworthy enough to vouch for you!" Shi Mo said, "I'll get the acting president of Star Dream Era to personally clarify things for you with Chanel's headquarters!"
Fang Mo'er's eyes lit up.
Star Dream Era was the largest entertainment company in China. With the acting president of the company personally vouching for you, the other party would naturally not doubt the Veiled Queen's appearance.
Fang Mo'er heaved a sigh of relief. "You've done so much for me. It looks like I have to get the endorsement now. I don't want to let you down."
Shi Mo smiled and said, "There's no need to put too much pressure on yourself."
The car stopped at the entrance of a building.
Shi Mo stayed in the car to wait for the audition results. Fang Mo'er opened the car door and walked towards the building.
At the moment, Fang Mo'er had already put on a veil and changed into a red dress.
There were still four candidates present.
What surprised Fang Mo'er was that the other four candidates had also put on veils.
Even Bai Rong had done the same.
After asking around, she found out that in today's audition script, the female lead role would be wearing a veil.
Fang Mo'er raised her eyebrows and looked at the script in front of her.
Hadn't this female lead role been created based on her own style?
In the script, the female lead, who was wearing a veil, would suddenly appear at a banquet. She would be dressed in red, looking like an elegant leopard that was ready to hunt at any time.
As the Prince chased after her, she would pass through the corridor and disappear into a room.
Bai Rong held the script in her hands, but she was not worried at all. Instead, she was determined to get the role.
Among the people present, the Veiled Queen had already left a bad impression on Chuck. Once Fang Mo'er was eliminated and the relationship between the Mu family and Bai Rong was added to the mix, Chuck would definitely choose her as the spokesperson. It would be a favor that would go along with the flow.
The audition soon began.
Chuck stood aside and watched the performances of several artistes.
Each of them had their own unique characteristics. Bai Rong's emphasis was on her sweetness, and every move of hers could arouse a man's desire to protect her.
However, the Veiled Queen was different. Besides the beauty of a woman, she also had a wild nature. She was not the kind to wait to be conquered by a man, but the kind of person who wanted to conquer a man.
The Veiled Queen really suited the characteristics of this perfume.
Unfortunately, there had been news from the headquarters yesterday. If they could not find out the true face of the Veiled Queen, they would have to give up on this artiste.
Chuck felt sorry for her. After the Veiled Queen had finished her performance, he walked to her side and said, "Miss Veiled Queen, could you tell us your true identity so that we can verify it?"
Bai Rong stood at the side and deliberately listened in on the conversation. Her heart tightened slightly. She had not expected Chuck to not completely give up on Fang Mo'er.
However, the Veiled Queen said, "Mr. Chuck, are you capable of keeping your lips sealed?"
Chuck quickly promised, "I swear, the company will never reveal your identity."
The Veiled Queen smiled and said, "Unfortunately, my lips are sealed. I'm sorry, I don't plan to reveal my identity yet."
Chuck had hit a wall with Fang Mo'er and instantly made up his mind.
It was a pity that there was no other choice but to eliminate the Veiled Queen.
When Bai Rong heard this, she could not help but to secretly sneer inwardly.
It seemed that the final winner this time would be her.
Chuck did not say anything more and walked to the side, as he waited for the other people to perform.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw that the call was from the headquarters. He quickly answered respectfully.
Fang Mo'er realized that when he had picked up the call, he had subconsciously glanced at her.
Shi Mo must have made the arrangements as he had promised. The headquarters had already received a guarantee from the acting president of Star Dream Era that there was nothing wrong with the Veiled Queen's appearance.
When Chuck heard that, he nodded his head repeatedly.
After hanging up the phone, he glanced at the Veiled Queen again.
However, he was extremely shocked. Who was this Veiled Queen? She even had the means to contact the headquarters directly.
Furthermore, she had indeed been the one with the most outstanding performance. There was no reason for Chuck to not work with the Veiled Queen anymore.
Bai Rong was still immersed in her dream of getting the endorsement deal for Chanel perfume. She was no longer bothered about Fang Mo'er at all.
Right now, she could not wait for Chuck to announce the results.
Chuck coughed and said, "After seeing all your performances, I already have a clear idea in my mind. At the same time, after communicating with the headquarters, I have decided that the candidate who will be the spokesperson for our perfume will be…"
Chuck's gaze paused slightly on Bai Rong before moving away and finally landing on the Veiled Queen. Whether it was her image or her temperament, she was the artiste who was very compatible with perfume.
The ecstasy on Bai Rong's face momentarily froze when Chuck moved his gaze away. There was a slight panic in her eyes. Finally, she heard Chuck announce, "We have chosen to work with the Veiled Queen!"
The other artistes were convinced and quickly congratulated the Veiled Queen. Only Bai Rong stood frozen like a statue. She did not move, her face cracking for a moment.
This was impossible, wasn't Chuck already suspicious of the Veiled Queen's appearance? Why was he still willing to take the risk?
Bai Rong could not help but to walk up to Chuck and remind him, "Mr. Chuck, aren't you afraid that the Veiled Queen's appearance might…"
Chuck said coldly, "Miss Bai, I hope that when you speak, you can speak with real evidence and not make empty assumptions! Have you really seen the Veiled Queen's true appearance and seen that she is very ugly?"
Bai Rong was speechless.
No, Fang Mo'er could not be considered ugly.
"Mr. Chuck, I just wanted to remind you of the risks."
Chuck shook his head. "You don't have to worry about that. We've already verified that the Veiled Queen doesn't have any risks in this aspect. You can rest assured now, alright?"
Bai Rong's expression froze and she smiled awkwardly. "That's good."
Good, my *ss.
Hadn't Fang Mo'er just said that she was unwilling to expose her identity? How had it been suddenly verified?
What exactly was going on? Bai Rong's heart was in a mess and she could not make heads or tails of it. She could only watch helplessly as Fang Mo'er shook hands with Chuck. The two of them had already begun to discuss the signing of the contract.
She would never have thought that Fang Mo'er would actually have the ability to contact Chanel's headquarters.
For his part, Chuck had made a deal with Fang Mo'er and would discuss the specific collaboration matters with her agent, Shen Yue.
Outside, Shi Mo was receiving reports from Assistant Yu.
"Sir, there's one more thing."
After Assistant Yu had finished reporting the matters of the various companies, he suddenly added another sentence.
Shi Mo said lightly, "Speak."
"Recently, there have been many people using various channels to investigate the true identity of the Veiled Queen. However, they have not been able to find anything out yet," Assistant Yu said.
Shi Mo's eyes snapped open and he said to the person on the other side of the phone, "Have you found out who they are?"
Assistant Yu replied, "They were all the Young Masters from the horse race event a few days ago! They are all asking about Madam. That day, Madam had won the horse race and even won a sports car."
Such a dazzling moment had naturally attracted many people's attention.
They were all looking for people to find out the whereabouts and true identity of the Veiled Queen.
"Oh." Shi Mo's lips curled up. "She wore a mask, yet she attracted even more attention."
Thinking about how Fang Mo'er was about to film a perfume advertisement, who knew how many more people would fall in love with her once the advertisement was released.
There would probably be even more admirers.
When Shi Mo thought of this, he felt a little uncomfortable. However, who had allowed Fang Mo'er to walk the path of a celebrity?
Since she liked it, he could not bear to obstruct her.
He could only watch her closely and not give others a chance to take advantage of her.
For the next few days, the production set was calm on the surface.
After Bai Rong had lost the endorsement for Chanel perfume, she had settled for the second-best option and gotten another brand endorsement for a women's wear brand.
Even so, every time she saw Fang Mo'er, Bai Rong still felt very unsatisfied.
For these few days, Shi Mo often appeared on the set as Fang Mo'er's boyfriend.
However, he kept a low profile and sat under a big tree at the side, which did not affect the filming process.
Only the frequent appearances of bodyguards caused people to not dare to ignore Shi Mo's status. Everyone could tell that he was definitely a rich man and no one dared to provoke him.
Bai Rong had also kept a low profile for the past few days. The dissatisfaction that she had accumulated now increased even more today.
Her assistant could not help but say, "Sister Bai, look at how arrogant Fang Mo'er is. She intentionally brought her boyfriend here to flaunt her power. She even brought her bodyguards along, as if she was afraid that others would not know how rich that man was! This is clearly an act meant for your eyes."
Bai Rong also felt extremely disgusted. She would often inadvertently see Fang Mo'er and Mr. Shi sharing glances with each other. The two of them seemed to be very sweet.
"Huh, just because you've deliberately found a rich person, you think you have someone to back you up? You're still no match for my Mu Chen!"
The assistant nodded in agreement. "Oh right, Sister Bai, I heard that Fang Mo'er will be shooting her commercial very soon. She even asked Director Wang for two days off. I heard that the perfume commercial will be shot overseas in a castle, and will be with a prince!"
The more she spoke, the more indignant the assistant felt. "This was originally meant to be yours."
Bai Rong's eyes darkened. Although the advertisement she was taking now was also an international brand, she would not have the luxury of acting with a prince.
If only Fang Mo'er could mess up the advertisement, it would be great if they would switch to using her for the shoot instead.
Thinking of this, Bai Rong's eyes suddenly lit up. "Oh right, what do you think would happen if Fang Mo'er happened to not be able to shoot in the next few days? For example, if she got sick or something, and the schedule for the advertisement can't be delayed? What do you think would happen?"
The assistant's eyes also lit up. "If that was the case, Sister Bai would have to go and help her by replacing her in the shoot!"
Bai Rong looked at the props that were being prepared on set and could not help but sneer. "I have a good idea."
For today's scene, the female lead, the male lead, and the male lead's sister would be riding horses together on the horse farm.
However, the male lead's sister could not stand the fact that the female lead was so close to the male lead, so she would deliberately tamper with the female lead's horse and cause the female lead to fall off the horse.
Originally, the shooting process for today was to have the horse trainer give the order for the horse to suddenly throw the person on the horse away, while Fang Mo'er would be sent flying with the help of wires, and eventually slowly land on the ground.
However, what if Fang Mo'er's horse was really agitated?
When the time came, Fang Mo'er would be thrown off the horse before the footage of her planned fall could be shot! If that happened, Fang Mo'er would definitely be injured and she would not be able to film the commercial as she had promised.
In that case…
No one noticed that Bai Rong's assistant had deliberately placed silver needles beneath the saddle of Fang Mo'er's horse as she was leading the horse. As soon as someone sat on it, the horse would be agitated.
Everything happened so quickly that no one even noticed the assistant's actions.
The director started to call for everyone to prepare for filming.
Fang Mo'er said to Shi Mo, "I'll go ahead first. You don't have to wait for me. If you're tired, you should go back to the hotel and rest."
Shi Mo shook his head. "With you by my side, how can I be tired?"
The two bodyguards beside him shared looks with each other but pretended not to hear anything.
Fang Mo'er walked to the horse's and led the horse towards Lang Qi and Bai Rong.
Lang Qi and Bai Rong were already on their horses.
Fang Mo'er also mounted onto her horse.
The horse suddenly let out a neigh and wildly galloped forward as it carried Fang Mo'er with all it's might.
Thinking that this was necessary for the plot, no one realized that there was anything wrong with what had just happened.
Even the director was very satisfied with the scene.
It was only when Fang Mo'er's horse had already run half a circle and was about to circle back that the trainer finally reacted and said, "Oh no, I haven't given the order yet. Why is it suddenly running like mad?"
Chapter 90: Fired
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
For her part, Fang Mo'er also felt that the horse was running too fast. She tried to stop it, but the horse was not listening to her.
Everyone had now realized that there was something wrong with the horse.
Shi Mo quickly stood up and narrowed his eyes as he stared in Fang Mo'er's direction.
He saw that the horse was already at death's door and was about to rush towards the crowd with Fang Mo'er.
Shi Mo made a prompt decision and immediately pulled out the pistol in his bodyguard's arms and fired a shot at the horse.
Fang Mo'er was stunned by the piercing sound in the air. Immediately, the horse's movements suddenly stopped and it fell straight to the ground.
Fang Mo'er rolled off and landed steadily on the grass.
Someone immediately rushed towards Fang Mo'er.
However, at the same time, Bai Rong, who had also been on a horse, suddenly felt that the horse under her had been frightened by the sound of bullets and suddenly bolted as well.
Bai Rong had only been focused on observing Fang Mo'er that she had not managed to grab hold of the reins. She was thrown off the horse and landed heavily on the ground.
"Ah! Miss Bai!" Someone in the crowd immediately turned around, looking completely shocked.
Both sides were busy and the place had descended into chaos.
Shi Mo came to Fang Mo'er's side and saw that she was surrounded by people. There was no pain on her face.
Only then did he feel slightly relieved. "Are you alright?"
Fang Mo'er shook her head. "I'm fine."
However, not far away, someone shouted, "Call an ambulance! Miss Bai is injured!"
Fang Mo'er quickly turned around and saw that Bai Rong was being helped up to a standing position by someone. It looked like she had fallen and hurt her leg.
Just as one wave of chaos had subsided, another wave had immediately started.
"The horse was frightened by the gunshot and suddenly threw Miss Bai to the ground."
Someone shouted.
Fang Mo'er looked at Shi Mo. The two of them looked at each other.
The entire production stopped filming. Director Wang, Fang Mo'er, and Shi Mo rushed to the hospital.
Because Shi Mo had fired the gun and caused the other accident, the other two had no choice but to follow him to the hospital to check on the situation.
In the car, the more Fang Mo'er thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. "I keep having the feeling that my horse suddenly went crazy because something was very wrong!"
The horse had been fine until the moment she had gotten on the horse. Only then had it gone crazy.
Shi Mo also said, "I've already sent the bodyguards to investigate. They should be able to find some clues very soon."
Both of them felt that the horse's rioting had been deliberately set up.
Even Fang Mo'er could feel it. Shi Mo had already known that something was wrong. When he rushed to the hospital, he had already asked the bodyguards to stay there to check on the situation.
In the hospital.
Bai Rong's leg was broken, so it had been placed in a cast by the doctor. It would take more than ten days for her to recover.

A few of the main actors and Director Wang surrounded the ward.
Bai Rong's eyes were filled with tears, looking very innocent. "Director Wang, look at my situation. My advertisement is definitely going to fail and I'll have to pay a huge amount of compensation. Does anyone want to give me an explanation on this matter?"
Bai Rong looked in the direction of Fang Mo'er and Shi Mo.
Bai Rong was filled with hatred. Fang Mo'er should have been the one lying here right now. The other party was just too lucky.
Not only was Fang Mo'er fine, but Bai Rong was also going to lose her brand endorsement.
The gains were not worth the losses. She definitely had to seek an explanation from Fang Mo'er.
Without changing his expression, Shi Mo said, "I was the one who fired the gun. If you want an explanation, then look for me. If it's my responsibility, I'll pay the compensation."
Bai Rong had not expected him to be so generous, however, she was still unwilling to accept it. "Mr. Shi, money isn't everything. I've suffered so much because of this matter, and now I can't even do any filming. Don't tell me that just paying a little money is enough?"
"Then, what is it that you want?" Fang Mo'er frowned.
"What I want during this period of time, is just for Fang Mo'er to take care of me for five days without leaving my side. In addition, I would like her to openly and sincerely apologize to me. That's all." Bai Rong's words were reasonable.
1
The important thing was that she did not want to make it easy for Fang Mo'er to get to shoot her advertisement.
She wanted to keep her by her side.
Furthermore, if she got Fang Mo'er to apologize to her publicly, the netizens would see the situation as Fang Mo'er, Mu Chen's ex-girlfriend, taking revenge on his ex-girlfriend. The meaning would be different and Fang Mo'er might not be able to get rid of having a reputation for being vicious.
Suddenly, someone ran in and said to Director Wang, "Director Wang, something bad has happened. There are many reporters outside saying that they want to interview the injured person!"
A cold smile flashed across Bai Rong's eyes.
She had asked her assistant to inform the media to come over.
This had been done to force Fang Mo'er to admit her mistake in front of the media.
After this movie, Fang Mo'er's acting career would come to an end.
Bai Rong was waiting for the reporters to rush in and report on her miserable appearance.
However, after waiting for a while, her tears were about to flow out yet she still did not see any reporters come in.
Finally, Shi Mo opened his mouth, "I've already gotten someone to control the scene.. The reporters won't be coming to disturb us. Now, let's properly sort out the cause and effect of this matter!"
Outside the hospital.
Many reporters were stopped by the sudden arrival of the bodyguards.
The floor that Bai Rong was on was guarded by layers of guards, so not even a fly could fly in.
The reporters could only wait outside the hospital.
They could not get the latest report, which caused rumors to spread.
Previously, the video of Bai Rong getting into the ambulance had been spread online.
There were even rumors that it was because Fang Mo'er and Bai Rong were at loggerheads that led to Bai Rong being bullied on set.
The reporters had heard the news and rushed over.
"If it was just an accident, there's no way they would not allow people to report it! Now that the situation is like this, it makes people suspect that there is something else behind this incident!"
"I've long guessed that the actresses of this movie would definitely be at odds with each other. I just didn't expect that it would be so bad."
"Let's wait and see. I don't believe that this hospital can be airtight. The truth will come out eventually."
In the ward.
Bai Rong's assistant could not help but say, "Sir, it is clearly because of you that Sister Bai fell off her horse. Isn't this clear? What else is there to say?"
At the time, there were many people present. Everyone had seen that it was because Fang Mo'er's boyfriend had fired a gun. The gunshot had frightened the horse, which had then caused Bai Rong's horse to suddenly run away.
Only then had Bai Rong fallen off the horse.
Shi Mo said, "If Miss Bai's fall from the horse was an accident, then my girlfriend's fall was intentional. The culprit was the one who tampered with my girlfriend's horse!"
Shi Mo's words shocked everyone present.
Director Wang asked in surprise, "What do you mean, Mr. Shi?"
Wasn't it an accident that Fang Mo'er's horse had gone crazy?
Bai Rong and her assistant looked at each other nervously.
Fang Mo'er then told Director Wang about the news that she had just received, "Director Wang, we just found out that the horse that I was riding on had silver needles placed on its back on purpose. Someone deliberately made the horse lose control!"
"So, my girlfriend is also a victim!" Shi Mo continued. "We still have to find the real culprit behind this matter and make him pay the corresponding price! I think we should call the police and let the police handle it."
As soon as Shi Mo said that, Bai Rong quickly said, "Won't this attract too much unwanted publicity? If we launch an investigation, our filming will definitely be affected! Director Wang, let's forget about it."
Bai Rong acted as if she was doing the best for the production. "I'll just recuperate by myself. Let's not delay the progress of our production!"
"How can we forget about it?" Director Wang clenched his fists. "If there really was someone who deliberately wanted to harm Miss Fang, and if we don't find this person, the film set will become unsafe! The investigation will last for a few days. At most, the production crew will work overtime for a few more days!"
Since this was Director Wang's decision, Bai Rong had no choice but to lower her head.
However, she was not too worried.
At the time, her assistant had been extremely secretive, so no one should be able to find out about what she had done.
Suddenly, a clamor came from outside.
More and more reporters were now outside, all wanting to know the truth.
"Why aren't you letting us interview them? Is there something going on?"
"We want to know the truth!"
"It's not an accident, right? Is someone trying to take revenge on Miss Bai?"
The people in the ward looked at each other. Only then did Shi Mo say to the bodyguard, "Go and find a few mainstream media outlets to come in. Don't let too many people disturb the patient's rest."
Not long after, two reporters were allowed in.
The moment they entered the ward, they saw Bai Rong lying on the bed with bandages wrapped around her feet. The reporter hurriedly passed the microphone to the patient, "Miss Bai, may I ask what happened to your sudden injury?"
At the moment, Bai Rong had no choice but to give up on making Fang Mo'er take responsibility for her injury, so she quickly changed her story. "My fall was an accident. In fact, something else also happened. Miss Fang fell as well. As for whether it was an accident or whether someone did it on purpose, this matter has already been handed over to the police for investigation."
Bai Rong's explanation stunned the reporter.
So it was not because Fang Mo'er had wanted to take revenge on Bai Rong. Instead, both of them had fallen. It was only that one of them had been injured while the other was not.
Furthermore, it was very likely that someone had caused it to happen.
Upon hearing such shocking news, the reporter quickly interviewed the others.
Director Wang said, "As for the specific situation, we still have to wait for the results of the investigation. However, it is now clear that Miss Fang's horse had indeed been tampered with! At the time, Miss Fang's horse had suddenly gone crazy. Fortunately, Miss Fang was not injured."
As a result, when the reporters who were lucky enough to be let in to conduct interviews reported on it, the netizens who were waiting for the gossip online were somewhat surprised.
They had originally thought that it was a situation of two women fighting over a man's heart, but they had not expected that there was something else going on.
"So both of them are victims. I hope that the culprit behind this is found as soon as possible!"
"There are so many plot twists. I'm looking forward to the follow-up gossip."
Very quickly, the video of the scene was posted on the Internet.
In the video, everything seemed to be going smoothly initially.
However, just as Fang Mo'er got on the horse, the horse suddenly started running crazily.
It was not until someone fired a shot that the horse stopped and Fang Mo'er fell off the horse.
However, at the same time, another camera captured the scene of Bai Rong falling off the horse as well.
Bai Rong's horse had also started running due to the shock. Bai Rong had lost her grip on the reins and fallen off.
The scene then came to an abrupt end.
According to the crew, someone had deliberately placed a silver needle on Fang Mo'er's horse.
This had caused the horse to go crazy.
This video attracted a lot of attention on the Internet.
All the netizens were trying to guess who it was that wanted to target Fang Mo'er.
In an instant, Fang Mo'er went from being the perpetrator to being the victim.
In the hospital.
Shi Mo left with Fang Mo'er.
Due to the police investigation, the film production had been suspended for the next few days.
"The culprit hasn't been found yet. So it's not safe for you to continue staying at the hotel!" Shi Mo asked Fang Mo'er to pack her luggage.
"Then, where are we going?"
"I have a property in Shanghai. We'll stay there for the time being."
Shi Mo said as he drove.
If they did not find the real culprit, Shi Mo would not feel at ease leaving Fang Mo'er to continue with the film production.
If the other party's plan failed this time, there might be another attempt.
However, just as Fang Mo'er and Shi Mo entered the villa, Fang Mo'er received a call from the production team.
The call was from Director Wang's assistant. "Miss Fang, where are you now? Don't go back to the hotel."
"What's wrong?" Fang Mo'er asked in surprise.
"There are some extreme netizens on the Internet who believe that the news about the silver needle is fake. They say that you made it up to shift the blame. Some of these irrational extreme fans are waiting outside the hotel."
Fang Mo'er looked at Shi Mo.
"Alright, I understand." Fang Mo'er hung up the phone and said helplessly to Shi Mo. "It seems that there are people who are trying to find fault with me at the hotel entrance."
It was a good thing that she had already moved out.
Otherwise, there would surely have been some trouble.
Who knew what those extreme netizens would do?
Shi Mo frowned. "I'll assign bodyguards to follow you for the next few days."
The next morning, Fang Mo'er received an inquiry from the police. After that, Fang Mo'er rushed to the airport because she had to go and shoot the perfume advertisement.
Shi Mo personally escorted her to the airport.
However, Fang Mo'er saw that Shi Mo was also getting out of the car and carrying his suitcase.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going abroad with you!" Shi Mo said.
At the same time.
Shen Yue was waiting at the entrance of the airport.
Since Fang Mo'er would be going abroad to shoot an advertisement, Shen Yue attached great importance to it. She planned to go abroad with Fang Mo'er, not only because the advertisement was very important, but also because the male actor was to be the prince of a certain country.
Shen Yue was worried that her assistant would not be good enough, so she planned to accompany Fang Mo'er personally.
However, she had not expected to see an unfamiliar man following along by Fang Mo'er's side.
Shen Yue asked in surprise, "Oh, who is this?"
Fang Mo'er said, "Sister Shen, this is my boyfriend, Mr. Shi."
Shen Yue's eyes flashed. She sized up Shi Mo and realized that he had an extraordinary bearing.
She then recalled that even the acting president of the company had personally asked about Fang Mo'er.
Seeing that Fang Mo'er's boyfriend had the surname of Shi, it was possible that he was a member of the Shi family.
It was no wonder that the higher-ups had given special instructions for Fang Mo'er's training to be given extra focus.
It turned out that she had some ties with the Shi family.
Shen Yue would never have thought that the other party was not only a member of the Shi family but was in fact the current leader of the Shi family.
"Hello, Mr. Shi!" Shen Yue nodded at Shi Mo. Then she said to Fang Mo'er, "I will accompany you overseas for two days of the filming period."
The three of them boarded the plane together.
When they arrived overseas, Fang Mo'er put on her veil and checked into the hotel as arranged by the advertising department.
Chuck smiled and said, "The first scene will be at the horse race track. The second scene will be at the banquet hall of this hotel."
Fang Mo'er and Shen Yue followed Chuck to the venue of the first scene.
Meanwhile, Shi Mo stayed at the hotel.
"I'll discuss the details with the director. You go and change first!" Shen Yue said to Fang Mo'er.
Many actors had already arrived at the racetrack.
Fang Mo'er did not dare to delay for even a second. She had heard that one of the main actors was a prince from a certain country, so she did not dare to do anything that would drag everyone down.
In the changing room, Fang Mo'er changed into a very textured red dress.
When she came out, she was pressed into a chair by the makeup artist and given some styling.
Even the lower half of her face that was not covered by the veil was also made up.
"It's done!" After the makeup artist was done, she hurriedly pushed Fang Mo'er out.
Outside, the lights, props, and actors were all in position.
A staff member then brought a white horse over.
It was meant for Fang Mo'er to ride.
Director, we can begin now!" The staff member announced to the director.
With a command, the shooting began.
Shen Yue sat beside the director.
Through the camera screen, the Prince could be seen personally making an appearance and participating in the horse race. Soon after, the Prince made his way to the front of the line.
Suddenly, a flamboyant figure made an appearance from behind.
The veiled woman was riding a horse, full of wildness and beauty.
When the Prince heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, he quickly turned his head and noticed a flash of red and a faint fragrance.
When he looked again, all he could see was the back view of the woman.
The Prince hurriedly chased after her on his horse.
As the sun was setting in the west, Fang Mo'er rode her horse around to the stables and soon disappeared without a trace.
The Prince stopped at the stables and looked around with a disappointed expression on his face.
"Cut!"
The director shouted.
The Prince dismounted and quickly turned to go behind the stable. As expected, he saw the woman on the horse.
His eyes lit up. This was the first time he had seen such an attractive woman. Her every move showed that she had a calm and noble temperament which set her apart from others.
The Prince did not know that it was all due to Fang Mo'er's acting skills.
Fang Mo'er was about to dismount when she noticed the Prince extending his hand towards her.
"Thank you!"
As she spoke, she took the other party's hand and dismounted.
When the Prince heard this beautiful female voice that sounded like a mountain spring, he was even more dazzled. The interest in his eyes grew even stronger.
By the time the filming of the scene was over, the Prince was already showing an obvious interest in the Veiled Queen during lunch.
He handed the menu to her and asked her if she had any dietary restrictions.
The two bodyguards who were following Fang Mo'er immediately reported the news to Shi Mo.
On the other side, Shi Mo's eyes narrowed when he received the news.
This Prince was intending on flirting with his woman.
How was it that Fang Mo'er could encounter a new admirer in just a day? Shi Mo hurriedly stood up and walked towards the restaurant that Fang Mo'er was in.
In the restaurant, Shen Yue also noticed the Prince's excessive attention to Fang Mo'er.
However, due to his status, she could not interrupt him. All she could do was to exchange glances with Fang Mo'er.
Fang Mo'er's eyes were filled with helplessness as she shrugged her shoulders.
Suddenly, the Prince leaned over and asked her, "Miss Veiled, you're very special. I don't think an ordinary man would be enough to catch your eye, right?"
The Prince carried himself with a confident air.
He did not see himself as an ordinary man.
Fang Mo'er took the opportunity to say, "My current boyfriend is pretty good though."
A look of surprise showed in the Prince's eyes, but he was not discouraged. He still wanted to find out more about what kind of person the other party was. Could he really be compared to him?
However, Fang Mo'er smiled and said, "As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and my boyfriend is the best in my eyes!"
The prince did not think much of that and was about to say something else.
Suddenly, a voice interrupted their conversation, "What a coincidence."
Fang Mo'er turned around and saw that Shi Mo had suddenly appeared behind her without her knowledge and was now looking at her with a smile.
Fang Mo'er blinked and asked, "Why are you here?"
Naturally, she stood up and gave him a hug.
She turned around and introduced him to the crowd, "This is my boyfriend, Mr. Shi."
Everyone looked at Shi Mo and noticed the tall figure with an extraordinary bearing. He was the type of man who would definitely be the most eye-catching person in any crowd.
They all felt that the Veiled Queen's words "In my eyes, he's the best" were completely justified.
At least, he definitely would not lose to all the men who were present.
The Prince now looked defeated.
When he saw the Veiled Queen and Shi Mo sitting together, he had no intention of continuing to speak.
Shi Mo's lips curled up. Later, during the afternoon break, she coquettishly said to him, "Look, you've cut off another admirer again!"
Shi Mo replied, "Am I not the best? It's enough just to have me alone!"
Fang Mo'er pretended to be helpless. "Sigh, if my fans find out that I have a boyfriend, I'll probably lose half of my male fans."
Shi Mo thought to himself that among the fans of the Veiled Queen, at least 70% of them were male fans.
Just by walking around outside, there were already many people who were trying to find out the identity of the Veiled Queen.
It was clear just how attractive this woman was.
In the past, as a songwriter, Fang Mo'er had given people the impression that she was a love-struck fool who loved stalking men, which caused other people to have a preconceived impression of her.
But now, she was the Veiled Queen. She was fresh, mysterious, with a unique temperament.
When she sang, she was confident and dazzling. When she acted, she could become any character.
Her every move exuded a unique charm.
This made her very irresistible and unforgettable.
In the evening, the hotel banquet hall was being prepared for the second scene.
The second story was that the Prince was holding a banquet. Many heavily made-up women would compete for his attention, but none would capture the Prince's eye.
It would not be until the Veiled Queen appeared again that the Prince would hurriedly chase after her.
There were many women there in formal gowns who were also wearing veils.
All of them were dressed quite flamboyantly.
Their gazes were fixed on the prince.
"I'm so lucky to be able to see the Prince here!"
"Oh my god, it would be great if the Prince could notice me."
Unfortunately, the Prince's gaze was involuntarily attracted by the Veiled Queen.
At the moment, Fang Mo'er had already put on her makeup and was standing beside the director. The director was giving a briefing with regards to her positioning and what kind of effects he wanted to present.
Fang Mo'er listened carefully. The only thing that was exposed on the upper half of her face was her eyes, which were shining bright like bright gemstones. They were even more eye-catching than the lights at the banquet.
Of course, the other women present were also dressed luxuriously.
However, only Fang Mo'er looked like a princess.
Naturally, she attracted the attention of all the men.
Fang Mo'er walked to a corner and waited to go on.
Just as the shooting of the Prince's party was about to begin, the entire room suddenly went dark.
Everyone exclaimed, "Why is there a power failure?"
Fang Mo'er was also stunned.
All she could see in front of her was pitch blackness.
Suddenly, a hand reached out to grab Fang Mo'er's hand and pulled her into a room.
The person pressed her against the wall and toyed with Fang Mo'er's veil with one finger. With a chuckle, he said, "Veiled Queen, tell me, who are you?"
"Who are you?" Fang Mo'er asked cautiously.
The other party suddenly pulled the veil off her face. "Who am I? Have you forgotten me so quickly?"
The man held her waist with one hand and as he held her veil with the other.
If not for the pitch-black darkness surrounding them, the man would have been able to see the woman's face clearly.
However, the man did not seem to be in a hurry.
After all, the power outage would only last for a short while.
Very soon, he would be able to see her face.
"I don't know who you are. Please let go of me, I still have to start filming!" Fang Mo'er's voice turned cold.
"What's the rush? I don't like people who try to be mysterious. Tell me your name and I'll let you go."
The other party remained calm and composed.
Fang Mo'er gritted her teeth. "…"
"Originally, I wanted to check out your identity, but I was blocked by someone. It was such an interesting matter, that I just had to verify it myself! Let's see what's so shameful about your face!"
The other party leaned towards Fang Mo'er's ear and spoke with arrogant superiority.
Fang Mo'er lowered her voice. Although she didn't know who the other party was, it was completely unreasonable to use such a method to investigate her identity.
"Well, you should put away your curiosity!"
Suddenly, Fang Mo'er moved her foot and stomped on the other party's foot with her high heels.
The other party felt the pain and subconsciously loosened his grip on her.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Mo'er immediately opened the door and ran out.
Outside, everything was still in chaos.
Someone said, "It was just a sudden power trip. We're already making arrangements to fix it. It'll be done soon."
It would be done soon.
Fang Mo'er knew that once the lights came on, her identity would be revealed to everyone.
She quickly made her way to the dressing room according to her memory. She found a new veil and put it on.
With a bang, the lights suddenly came back on.
Everyone was stunned.
Shen Yue was still standing beside the director.
The Prince was in the middle of the crowd, surrounded by several women.
Fang Mo'er looked at the room that she had been taken into. The door was open but there was no one inside.
The person had left.
What happened had only been a small incident. Thus, the people present quickly regained order and filming resumed again.
Fang Mo'er's performance was very smooth. The camera captured her elegant and noble temperament and completely magnified it.
Every minute expression on her face was captured.
Her sudden arrival made the Prince, who had been lost in his daydreams, immediately perk up. He rushed towards her anxiously.
However, the Veiled Queen suddenly turned around and disappeared into one of the rooms.
The prince pushed the door open and entered. The room was empty, only the windows were open.
Outside the window, only the Veiled Queen's back could be seen as she slowly left.
She turned around to a graceful and noble glance before disappearing without a trace.
Originally, she had thought that it would take two days to finish filming the commercial. She had not expected that it would only take one day to finish filming.
Fang Mo'er returned to the banquet hall.
The director said, "Very good, every frame is perfect!"
Shen Yue also heaved a sigh of relief. She then said to the director, "Then, we'll just wait to see the finished product."
Prince walked over, his gaze subconsciously landing on Fang Mo'er. His eyes clearly showed his disappointment.
Shen Yue saw it and looked for an opportunity to leave with Fang Mo'er.
When Shi Mo heard that the commercial had been completed, he was a little surprised. However, he quickly said, "Alright, I'll book a flight back to China tomorrow morning immediately."
Shen Yue said, "I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't be going back with you guys." She tactfully left first, leaving the two of them alone.
"It looks like the shoot went smoothly today." Shi Mo sat down on the sofa.
However, Fang Mo'er frowned. There had been an incident today. Who was the man who had suddenly appeared, with the intention of exposing her identity?
Judging from his accent, all she could tell was that he was from China.
However, she really could not remember who she had provoked.
Fang Mo'er hesitated for a while before she told Shi Mo about what had happened that evening.
However, all she said was that someone had deliberately taken her veil away. She did not dare to tell Shi Mo much much more or even that the person had pinned her against the wall.
Shi Mo narrowed his eyes when he heard about it. "I'll get someone to investigate immediately."
Fang Mo'er nodded. "It's probably someone who was just curious."
Shi Mo did not think so. He recalled that there were already quite a number of people who were trying to investigate the identity of the Veiled Queen.
Today, this person was not someone who was merely curious.
A few minutes later, Shi Mo received a call.
"Mr. Shi, the surveillance footage during that time has been destroyed. There's no way to find out."
Shi Mo's voice did not change at all. "Got it."
Who exactly was it that had taken such special interest in the Veiled Queen?
Could it be that someone had set their eyes on her during the performance at the horse farm the other day?
It had also been from that day onwards that many people had started to investigate the identity of the Veiled Queen.
It looked like they could at least start by investigating the guests from that night.
When Shi Mo returned to the bedroom, he looked at Fang Mo'er's sleeping face as she lay on the bed and fell into deep thought.
Fang Mo'er had caught a flight today and had been shooting commercials the whole day so she was exhausted.
Shi Mo walked to the side of the bed and reached out to stroke Fang Mo'er's hair gently.
His gaze landed on her beautiful face.
She looked so attractive even when she was wearing a mask. If her face was seen by others, who knew how many people would remember her.
He thought about how the filming for Fang Mo'er's movie would be finishing soon.
Once it was released, Fang Mo'er would no longer be a newcomer.
Who knew how many people would be obsessed with this face then?
Shi Mo sighed. His wife was so outstanding that it was also a kind of problem.
The next day.
When Fang Mo'er woke up, she found that the luggage in the room had already been packed.
After washing up, she walked out and saw Shi Mo sitting in the living room eating breakfast.
After Fang Mo'er finished eating, she was driven to the airport with Shi Mo. .
By the time they arrived at the airport, Fang Mo'er had already returned to her usual attire and was no longer wearing a veil.
She had not expected to meet Mu Ye on the plane.
Mu Ye's seat was not far away from the two of them.
When he saw Fang Mo'er and Shi Mo walking up one after the other, he only took a casual glance at them.
He quickly shifted his gaze.
Fang Mo'er was the one who had been dating his half-brother for a year.
Previously, Mu Ye only knew very little about Fang Mo'er. Apart from writing music, he did not know anything else. She was just an obsessive woman stalker.
Now that Mu Chen and Bai Rong were together, she also seemed to have some intentions of taking revenge. She had even snatched the female lead role of the movie.
However, this was not an important matter. The petty nature of women had never been taken seriously by Mu Ye.
Before he took off, he turned on his phone and saw Mu Chen's message.
Mu Chen was currently accompanying Bai Rong at the hospital.
Bai Rong was still pregnant. The fall from the horse had alarmed the Mu family's Old Master.
The Old Master asked Mu Ye to do a proper investigation to see if Bai Rong really had been bullied on the set.
Mu Chen also sent a message over. "Brother, Little Rong has suffered so much. Now, because of her injury, many of her scenes have been deleted. I hope that after this movie, the Mu family can invest in a movie and allow Little Rong to be the female lead."
Mu Ye said indifferently, "It isn't that simple."
He raised his head and glanced at Fang Mo 'er. He could not help but say, "You'd better clean up your mess. If someone really wants to take revenge on you, you'll only have yourself to blame! You were the one who took their investment in the past."
Mu Chen quickly replied, "Brother, I've already dealt with it. I gave her 20% of the shares!"
Mu Ye sneered. He knew that Mu Chen still had a big advantage in this matter. It was no wonder that the girl was still holding a grudge.
However, he did not want to care too much, so he simply said, "It's nothing. I just saw your ex on the plane so I just wanted to remind you that Bai Rong is already pregnant with the Mu family's child. So it's best to avoid having any similar entanglements in the future to avoid affecting the Mu family's reputation."
Mu Chen replied, "I understand."
When Mu Chen received the message, Bai Rong quickly asked, "What did your brother say?"
Mu Chen replied, "He said that there's no problem with the female lead role. Oh, and by the way, he saw Fang Mo'er on the plane and asked me to settle all my past matters."
Bai Rong bit her lip. "You've been away for the past few days. Actually, Fang Mo'er has deliberately found a rich boyfriend and has been showing off their love on the set these past few days. It's as if she wants to show it to us. I think she wants to take revenge on us."
Mu Chen sneered. "If I find out that she's done something to you behind your back, I won't let her off."
Bai Rong looked bemused. "Maybe I'm thinking too much."
In the hospital ward, Bai Rong looked very fragile and her face was pale.
She told Mu Chen about all the grievances she had suffered while on the film set.
Not only had Fang Mo'er brought some unknown rich person onto the film set, but she had also brought two tall and burly bodyguards with her, which made her look very imposing.
Bai Rong said, "Actually, I still care for Sister Fang. After all, she did help me in the past. Now that she has become like this, I feel quite uneasy."
Mu Chen frowned. "Rong 'er, you're too kind. Even at this time, you're still thinking of others."
Bai Rong smiled faintly. "At least we've worked together before. In fact, everyone in the production team is speculating about Mr. Shi's unknown background. People are wondering if Fang Mo'er has committed herself to a shady gangster in a moment of weakness. It's really a pity that she has made such a mistake."
Mu Chen shook his head. "That was also her own choice."
In the video of the horse losing control, the deafening sound of a gunshot and the lifeless horse seemed to confirm this even more.
In China, other than the nationally certified Security Bureau, which protected the bodyguards of important figures, ordinary people were not allowed to wear guns.
However, Mr. Shi, whose background was unknown, was able to carry a gun with him.
This meant that Mr. Shi was very likely from the underworld and was very dangerous.
To be so daring as to take out a gun so brazenly, meant that this person was a moving time bomb and brought a very high level of risk.
On one hand, Bai Rong was jealous that Fang Mo'er had such a powerful person to protect her.
On the other hand, she hoped that Fang Mo'er would get tired of being played out by that man and would end up in a miserable state.
But for now, Fang Mo'er was being protected.
Even when she had incited some irrational fans to attack Fang Mo'er, they had easily been stopped.
However, they knew where Fang Mo'er was now.
Bai Rong's eyes flashed and she quickly spread the news.
There were not many people at the airport in the early morning.
The plane landed in Shanghai.
Fang Mo'er and Shi Mo walked out of the airport together. The driver had already parked the car by the side of the road and was waiting for them.
When he saw Shi Mo walking out, the driver quickly went forward and helped to put the luggage into the trunk.
It was also at this moment that a car suddenly stopped in front of them, not far away.
The car window rolled down and a woman in the car shouted, "Fang Mo'er is here!"
"She's the one who caused Goddess Bai to be hospitalized!"
"Goddess Bai is still in the hospital, yet she's still so relaxed!"
"We must avenge our goddess!"
The car door was pulled open and a few aggressive women around the age of 17 or 18 came out and surrounded Fang Mo'er.
Shi Mo pushed Fang Mo'er into the car and protected her inside.
It was still early in the morning and the bodyguards were still in the airport behind them.
Other than Shi Mo and Fang Mo'er, only the driver was outside the airport.
The three of them had entered the car and were now surrounded by irrational netizens.
They could not leave even if they wanted to.
The car door was bashed and someone even tried to smash open the car window.
However, the car was bulletproof and no one could break it.
Shi Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at the aggressive group. He comforted Fang Mo'er, "Don't be afraid, I'll get the bodyguards to handle it."
Fang Mo'er was surprised but she was not overly worried. She was just curious that she had been caught even though her trip back had been so secretive.
Not far away, Mu Ye walked out slowly, looking very relaxed. After noticing the commotion on Fang Mo'er's end, Mu Ye only took a casual glance before getting into another car.
He was not bothered with it at all.
The chauffeur clicked his tongue and said, "It looks like someone is being besieged by extreme fans. These extreme fans are really not afraid of death."
Mu Ye shook his head. "As long as no one dies, and they are not eighteen yet, these people will be released after a few days at most."
"He probably provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked and now someone is taking revenge."
Mu Ye did not comment. He said to the driver, "It has nothing to do with us. Let's go."
On the other side.
A few bodyguards had finally rushed over.
As soon as they noticed that their boss was being attacked, they immediately controlled the small group of troublemakers with lightning speed.
The small group of students was stunned as they felt their arms being pulled away. In the next moment, they were pressed against the ground, a cold stinging pain on their faces.
The bodyguard was well-trained and his voice was filled with chilling coldness. "How dare you attack our boss? Take all of them away."
He did not say where he was taking them.
The students immediately panicked and started to struggle.
However, they were still pushed into a car as if they had been thrown into a sack. When the door was closed, the screams could not be heard anymore.
If they were sent to the detention center, at most, they would only get out in a few days.
However, the situation this time seemed to be a little worse than expected.
Sir, what should we do with these people?" The bodyguard asked in a low voice after he had cleared all the commotion in the air.
Mo's cold voice came from the car, "Punish them severely."
"Yes, sir."
The bodyguard quickly got into the car and the troublemakers were taken away.
Meanwhile, in the hospital.
Bai Rong's assistant ran into the room in a panic. Fortunately, Mu Chen was not around.
The assistant quickly said, "Sister Bai, something bad has happened."
Bai Rong was resting with her eyes closed when she heard what the assistant said. She raised her head and asked, "What happened? Could it be that the fans were too harsh and caused Fang Mo'er to be beaten to death?"
Previously, she had asked her assistant to instigate the fans. On one hand, she wanted to teach Fang Mo'er a lesson.
On the other hand, she wanted to see what Mr. Shi was made of.
"That's not the case. Fang Mo'er isn't injured. It was the fans who have all been captured!" The assistant said, "Sister Bai, what do you think we should do? The problem is that we don't know where they have been taken."
Bai Rong was surprised. "How could this be?"
However, Bai Rong immediately laughed. "Actually, that's good too. If the fans have been captured privately, Fang Mo'er's reputation will be tarnished even further!"
The assistant said, "Then I'll get the other fans to look for her."
Bai Rong nodded. "Go ahead."
…
Fang Mo'er returned to her villa in Shanghai City.
In the afternoon, she went to the film set.
At the film set, Director Wang saw Fang Mo'er and immediately came over to console her. "Miss Fang, are you hurt?"
The news of Fang Mo'er being attacked by some extreme fans at the airport had already been reported.
Fang Mo'er nodded. "I'm fine."
Director Wang sighed. "It's good that you're fine. Even after the police investigation, they were not able to find any clues regarding the previous incident. They don't know if the culprit hid it too deeply or whether it was truly just an accident! However, we don't have much time left. The most important thing now is to finish filming the movie!"
Director Wang quickly arranged for Fang Mo'er's scenes.
The script had been greatly revised over the past few days, increasing Fang Mo'er's scenes and reducing Bai Rong's scenes by quite a lot. This way, Bai Rong's injury would not affect the progress of the movie.
However, this would mean that Fang Mo'er would be more tired, due to having to work overtime.
Xiao Tian jogged towards Fang Mo'er excitedly. "Sister Fang, I have something to tell you."
Xiao Tian quickly handed her phone over. "When I was looking at my phone this morning, I suddenly saw a video that was taken on the day of the accident and realized something."
"Let me take a look." Fang Mo'er took it out to have a look. The video had originally been just a casual sweep of the entire scene.
However, Fang Mo'er clicked on the freeze frame at a particular point.
In the video, Bai Rong's assistant was standing beside her horse. She was very close to it but it was not clear as to what she was doing.
"Sister Fang, do you think she…" Xiao Tian asked.
Normally, Bai Rong's assistant would always be by her side. Why would she suddenly stand next to the horse that Fang Mo'er was going to ride? Furthermore, she seemed to be interacting with the horse. Her actions seemed to be very abrupt.
If someone liked horses, it would be understandable if they walked over to pat the horse or stroke it.
However, it was said that this assistant was very averse to the smell of horses and would not take the initiative to approach them.
All these signs were quite strange.
Fang Mo'er said, "Send this video to me."
Very quickly, she forwarded the video to Shi Mo. "Take a look at this."
After Shi Mo saw it, he quickly replied, "This is very suspicious. We will need to interrogate them properly."
Too many people had come into contact with the horses the other day, so it was hard for anyone to remember who they were.
However, at least this video had a specific focus.
After Fang Mo'er had put away her phone, she quickly resumed filming.
However, she did not know that on the Internet, there were already people who were spreading the news about the disappearance of the fans.
There were even people who reported the matter to the relevant authorities.
However, it ended up that the issue had not been resolved.
In fact, all content about the missing fans had been deleted.
Some people were shocked.
Some people silently waited for the follow-up development.
Three days later, the fans were released.
However, all of them looked haggard and pale, as if they had just escaped death.
Fang Mo'er was in the middle of filming a scene when she was suddenly interrupted by Mu Chen.
The moment Mu Chen came up, he immediately questioned her, "Fang Mo'er, you're too vicious. Little Rong was obviously a victim too, but you've framed her as the mastermind behind everything!"
Everyone looked at Fang Mo'er in surprise. Even Lang Qi asked, "What happened?"
Fang Mo'er shrugged. "Her assistant was the one who tampered with the horse and confessed. Does that mean that Bai Rong was the mastermind behind everything? That's not impossible."
Fang Mo'er had been busy filming so her phone had been turned to silent mode.
There were several messages that she had not received yet.
One of them was that Bai Rong had been brought in for questioning because she was suspected of ordering her assistant to murder someone.
"Rong 'er can't be the culprit!" Mu Chen gritted his teeth.
Is it possible for her? Go and ask her then. Why are you telling me all this? If there's nothing else, then please don't interfere with my filming! My time is precious." Fang Mo'er pushed Mu Chen away and said to Director Wang, "Please continue."
Mu Chen gritted his teeth. "Alright, Fang Mo'er, you have such a cruel heart. Rong 'er had been worried about your safety, but I didn't expect you to frame her like this."
Hearing this, Fang Mo'er looked at him with amusement. "Your Rong 'er and I are like sisters. I don't think she would want you to interfere with my filming and affect the progress of the movie. She will be very upset! So, hurry up and leave, please."
Mu Chen was furious at her stubborn attitude.
In the end, all he could do was to leave and rush to the police station.
Lang Qi moved closer to Fang Mo'er and asked, "Sister Fang, was it really Bai Rong's assistant?"
Fang Mo'er nodded.
Lang Qi covered his mouth in surprise. "Why did she want to harm you?"
Fang Mo'er asked, "What do you think?"
Wasn't it obvious?
Soon, everyone in the production knew that Bai Rong's assistant had done something to her.
However, Bai Rong was only interrogated by the police and was quickly released.
In the end, the assistant had confessed to the whole crime, indicating that it had nothing to do with Bai Rong.
This matter quickly became a hot topic.
"Aiya, this assistant is too bad. Fortunately, nothing happened to Fang Mo'er."
"I was misled earlier and thought that the silver needle incident was fake. I didn't expect it to be true."
"Speaking of which, Bai Rong's fans had still been looking for Fang Mo'er to settle the score. But now that I think about it, it looks like Fang Mo'er is the victim."
"This movie hasn't even been released, yet there's so much hype about it!"
A few days later.
Fang Mo'er saw Bai Rong apologizing to everyone on the film set.
"All these happened because I didn't discover my assistant's wrongdoing in time and brought trouble to this production."
After saying that, Bai Rong bowed to the crowd and apologized.
Just then, Bai Rong saw Fang Mo'er walking over.
Just like before, she looked at Fang Mo'er with an innocent expression. "Sister Fang, I rushed over to the film set as soon as I was discharged from the hospital. I hope that I'll be able to film the rest of the scenes well. Also, I'm very disappointed about my assistant, but I hope that you won't have any misunderstanding about me."
"Oh, how do you think I would misunderstand?" Fang Mo'er looked at her coldly.
Bai Rong choked for a moment and lowered her eyes. "Actually, I don't have any ill intentions towards you. The outside world has been saying that we don't have a good relationship, but that's just a rumor. In fact, I've always respected you in the production team. Everyone knows that."
Xiao Tian could not help but say, "You say you respect Sister Fang, but back when you were hospitalized, you even asked my Sister Fang to stay behind to take care of you. You even insisted that she had to stay there for five days without leaving. You were indeed very respectful."
Everyone present had strange expressions on their faces.
If one thought about it this way, Bai Rong's own assistant had made a mistake, yet Bai Rong could still confidently accuse Fang Mo'er of causing her fall. It was indeed unreasonable.
Even Director Wang frowned. Why did he feel that Bai Rong's character was not that good?
Bai Rong quickly said awkwardly, "Wasn't I also kept in the dark? That was why I misspoke at that time. I'm here to apologize to Sister Fang. I hope that Sister Fang can put the past behind and we can continue to work well on this film."
After saying that, Bai Rong lowered her head and submitted to Fang Mo'er.
She had already said so much.
If Fang Mo'er did not nod her head, it would look like Fang Mo'er was being petty.
Fang Mo'er said indifferently, "Knowing that you've delayed everyone's time, why don't you hurry up and prepare? There's no need for all this nonsense. Making everyone wait for you will just cause more difficulties.
After saying that, Fang Mo'er walked to Director Wang's side. "Director Wang, I'm ready."
Bai Rong straightened her back and bit her lip again.
She had arrived half an hour earlier than Fang Mo'er, yet she had used this time to try and regain everyone's good impression of her.
She had taken advantage of the fact that everyone had taken pity on her because she had immediately returned to the set after she had recovered from her illness.
But now that she thought about it, everyone was ready.
Even the lighting and props had been set up.
The actors were also in position.
Bai Rong was the only one who was not. She had said a lot of nice things, but she had not even started to prepare her makeup and clothes.
The dissatisfaction of everyone who had been working overtime for the past few days suddenly resurfaced.
Bai Rong quickly said, "I'll go and prepare immediately."
She ran into the dressing room and immediately went back to filming.
However, because she was not in a good state of mind, she frequently made mistakes, which caused everyone to complain.
On the other hand, Fang Mo'er continued to be good-natured in accommodating her and even reshot certain scenes with her.
Xiao Tian could not help but say, "All you know is to apologize repeatedly. Don't you know how to work hard?"
After making several bloopers, Bai Rong was rendered speechless.
This time, she really was being bullied on the set.
The last few days of filming for the movie.
The whole production team was in a state of chaos, as they rushed day and night to catch up on their progress.
The more it went on, the worse everyone looked at Bai Rong.
Everyone was very tired and was not in the mood to look at Bai Rong's aggrieved look.
When Mu Chen visited Bai Rong several times on the set, he was heartbroken by her haggard appearance.
Mu Chen's eyes were filled with heartache as he advised, "Look at how tired you are. It would be better for you to take a break."
Bai Rong did not dare to mention taking a break since she was already despised by the whole production team. All she could say was, "No, filming will be done soon. I can't hold everyone back."
Mu Chen felt pity for her and reminded her softly, "Remember that you're still pregnant."
Bai Rong touched her belly happily. "I'll protect him well."
Mu Chen nodded. "When the film crew finishes filming, you'll be able to have a good rest for a few days."
On the day the film shoot ended, the film crew was overjoyed.
The director had organized a wrap party.
Fang Mo'er was also rather emotional. There wasn't a single person in the entire film crew who wasn't tired.
At night, Fang Mo'er said to Shi Mo, "I've finally finished filming my first movie!"
The next thing she needed to do was to wait for the editing, promotion, and release.
Fang Mo'er looked as if she could not wait to sleep for three days and three nights.
As the female lead, her role had increased by quite a lot, and she had also worked overtime the most.
Seeing her like this, Shi Mo hurriedly said, "Don't go if you're tired."
"No, as the female lead, how could I not attend the wrap party?"
Fang Mo'er laid herself on Shi Mo'er's lap, intending on taking a nap. "I'll rest for an hour first. Please wake me up later."
Shi Mo nodded and patted her back gently.
Fang Mo'er fell asleep.
Soon, it was dark.
When Fang Mo'er woke up, she realized that she had already slept for two hours.
"Aiya, I'm late."
Shi Mo said, "Don't worry, I told the director that you would be late! He knew that you were tired and even asked that you rest more and told me not to wake you up."
Fang Mo'er smiled. "Why do I feel like you're the one who told him that I was too tired and that he should not wake me up?"
If it was not for Shi Mo's reminder, Director Wang would not have even known that she was resting.
Shi Mo smiled. "Smart."
Fang Mo'er rolled out of his arms and went into the bathroom to wash up. Only then did she drag Shi Mo out of the room.
"I've been sleeping for so long, I'm hungry now!" Fang Mo'er said.
When they entered the private room, the crew was in a joyous mood.
There were two seats beside the director.
Even Mu Ye and Fang Han had been invited to attend.
However, Fang Han did not look very happy.
When she saw Fang Mo'er coming over, she quickly approached her and said, "Finally you're here. Bai Rong is really in the spotlight today."
"What's wrong?" Fang Mo'er sat down.
Fang Han said, "Mu Chen has just announced his engagement to Bai Rong!"
Only then did Fang Mo'er realize that Bai Rong was looking at her sweetly, with an exceptionally bright smile.
There were a few people beside her who were toasting the two of them, as they conveyed their congratulations.
Bai Rong deliberately said, "Sister, I hope you will be able to attend the wedding!"
Fang Mo'er took a sip of wine and smiled, "As your boss?"
When Bai Rong was reminded of Fang Mo'er's shares in the company, she smiled perfunctorily, "Sister, you really love to joke."
Mu Chen looked at Fang Mo'er coldly, "Miss Fang, please come with me! I have something to discuss with you."
Mu Chen stood up and walked out.
Bai Rong was delighted.
Mu Chen had just said that he wanted to take back the shares in Fang Mo'er's hands and give them to her as a betrothal gift when they got married.
Fang Mo'er did not move. "What is it that you can't discuss with me here?"
Mu Chen said, "It's about the company shares. Isn't it inappropriate to talk about it here?"
"Oh?" Fang Mo'er raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Only then did she stand up slowly and go to say a few words to Shi Mo. She then came back very quickly and walked out.
On the balcony, Mu Chen got straight to the point. "I plan to buy back the shares in your hands. This is the share transfer contract!"
He produced a contract and handed it to her. "I will get someone to immediately transfer the money into your account."
Fang Mo'er did not accept it. "Why should I transfer the shares to you? I still need to rely on it for dividends!"
Mu Chen's face darkened. "Fang Mo'er!"
Fang Mo'er pulled on her ear. "There's no need to sound so sincere. In fact, I don't even wish to go to the company anymore. How about this? You give me twice the market price, then I'll transfer the shares to you."
"What? Fang Mo'er, you're asking for too much!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, can't you afford it? What's the point of proposing this deal if you can't afford it?" Fang Mo'er shook her head. "Back then, you promised to give me 50% of the shares. Now that I'm asking for double the price, that would only be worth 40% of the shares. You'll still make a profit, won't you? Or is it because the Mu family didn't give you enough money? If you don't have the ability, then don't act so ostentatious in front of me! Go back and show filial piety to the Mu family's Old Master. Maybe you can even get a little more pocket money."
Mu Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Wait for me!"
He quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Mu Ye.
Very quickly, Mu Ye replied, "Is this some sort of retaliation?"
Mu Chen was embarrassed. Previously, he had only asked the Mu family for the money to buy Fang Mo'er's shares at market price.
Now, it was the equivalent of asking for twice the market price.
Mu Chen also felt extremely humiliated.
Now, not only did he not have any dignity in the Mu family, but because he had pleaded with the Mu family so many times, he had become the most useless Young Master of the Mu family.
His elder brother and elder sister were both more promising and influential than him.
Only he…
"Brother, I promised to get the shares back. When the time comes, I'll be giving it to Rong 'er as a betrothal gift," Mu Chen said helplessly.
There was no reply from the other side.
There was only the news of the arrival of the money.
Mu Chen felt as if his face had been slapped hard.
Fang Mo'er looked at Mu Chen's expression as he went through his internal struggle.
However, she felt extremely relieved.
All of this had belonged to her original character. Why was Mu Chen acting as if he was now being cheated of a large sum of money?
Back then, when her original character's money had been cheated by him, he had not said a single word.
Mu Chen put his phone away and said coldly, "Fang Mo'er, I hope that I won't be seeing you again in the future. We'll be completely even in the future!"
He said arrogantly, "This is double the market price. Sign it."
Fang Mo'er clicked her tongue and whistled as she signed.
Soon, a sum of money was transferred to Fang Mo'er's account. 100 million.
Fang Mo'er now had a large sum of money in her hands, so she was naturally in a good mood.
She did not say anything unpleasant. Instead, she waved her hand at Mu Chen. "Mr. Mu Chen, I also hope that we won't have any interactions in the future! It's best if you and Bai Rong stay far away from me. I'll follow my path and you can follow your own. Just don't interfere with my business."
After saying that, Fang Mo'er turned around and returned to the party.
Shi Mo saw that she was in a good mood and could not help but lean over. As he selected some food for her, he asked her, "What made you so happy?"
Fang Mo'er replied, "I sold the shares of the company for a good price. Shouldn't I be happy?"
Bai Rong, who was on the other side of the table, was also feeling smug.
However, when she heard this, she could not help but ask Mu Chen, "How much did you give her?"
Fang Mo'er was looking very smug.
Meanwhile, Mu Chen felt as if his heart was bleeding. "Please stop asking."
Bai Rong's face turned pale and she could not bring herself to be happy.
On the other side, Fang Mo'er said to Shi Mo, "It wasn't much. It was only twice the market price. After all, the Mu family is really rich. I think I should ask the Mu family if they want to adopt a daughter."
Mu Ye's eyelashes twitched when he heard that.
Fang Mo'er was extremely sarcastic.
He did not know how Fang Mo'er had been taken advantage of by Mu Chen in the past. However, she had just turned the tables now.
Shi Mo smiled and said, "Silly, I'm enough as long as you have me! You don't have to be someone else's adopted daughter."
Fang Mo'er stuck out her tongue and said, "That's true."
Shi Mo and Fang Mo'er spoke as if there was no one around them.
On the other side of the table, Mu Chen and Bai Rong's faces were already ashen.
Even Mu Ye had given Fang Mo'er an unfriendly glance. She had actually dared to blackmail the Mu family. How bold of her.
Bai Rong quickly raised her glass. "Young Master Mu, let me propose a toast to you."
Bai Rong had never dared to act rashly towards Mu Ye. Firstly, Mu Ye was currently the most powerful person in the Mu family. Secondly, Mu Ye was not a kind person. There had once been a banquet where someone had recklessly offended Mu Ye. Mu Ye had then used a gun to cripple one of his legs.
That person had been quietly thrown out, without daring to take any revenge on Mu Ye.
It was clear that Mu Ye was not as easy a person to get along with as he appeared on the surface.
The Mu family was able to tolerate Mu Chen's existence and acknowledge this illegitimate child. If Mu Ye had not accepted Mu Chen, things would not have gone so smoothly.
Mu Ye did not even bother to look at Bai Rong. He raised his glass and downed it in one gulp. Then, he stood up. "I have something to do so I'll take my leave first."
Mu Chen hurriedly stood up. "Brother, let me send you off."
Mu Ye waved him off and walked out.
Mu Chen's expression turned ugly for a moment. Then, he sat down and tried to hide his embarrassment as he smiled and said, "My brother is much too busy."
Everyone laughed as well.
On that night, Fang Mo'er had drunk quite a lot because she was extremely happy.
In the end, it was Shi Mo who led the stumbling Fang Mo'er away.
"I still want to drink, don't drag me away!"
"Alright, there'll be more wine to drink when we get back."
"I want to drink here."
"Mo'er, this is liquor, not water."
Shi Mo was helpless and had to resort to picking her up by her waist.
However, Fang Mo'er was feeling restless and kept twisting her waist to try and get down.
After much difficulty, she was finally placed into the car. Shi Mo bent down to pick up the seatbelt and fastened it tightly around her.
"Don't tie me up!" Fang Mo'er tried to struggle, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not break free.
Shi Mo stared at her for a while and sighed, "Are you really happy that you drank so much?"
"Of course I'm happy, 100 million!"
However, everyone present thought that Fang Mo'er had suddenly drunk so much just because she was feeling hurt.
Even Shi Mo could not help but think so as well.
No one would be this happy to see someone they had loved before suddenly get engaged today.
