"I owe Brother, but I don’t owe you anything!" Rong Mochen’s voice was sinister, "For the last ti, don’t try to harm Little Mo again, or don’t bla for being ruthless!"
Having said that, Rong Mochen turned sharply and left.
Fang Jingyi glared angrily at Rong Mochen’s resolute and sinister back, grinding her teeth, "Ungrateful son! Ungrateful son!"
In the afternoon, Jin Jumo went to the theater for an audition at the agreed ti.
Upon arrival, Jin Jumo realized there were far more people at the audition than she expected, and it was very formal.
Everyone at the scene received a number according to order and queued up to enter the audition.
Jin Jumo received number twenty-eight.
An hour and a half later, Jin Jumo was inford to enter the audition with her number.
Jin Jumo walked towards the stage and glanced at the few seasoned drama artists sitting in the middle rows of the audience.
In the theater, aside from the stage lights, the other lights remained off.
From the stage, Jin Jumo could vaguely see the rough outlines of the drama artists’ faces, while they could see her very clearly.
Having been through many auditions over the years, Jin Jumo wasn’t nervous.
Standing under the spotlight, Jin Jumo calmly introduced herself.
After introducing herself, Jin Jumo was ready to perform a drama segnt she prepared earlier, however...
"Don’t rush to perform!"
A young man’s voice suddenly ca from the audience.
Jin Jumo was a bit taken aback and couldn’t imdiately pinpoint the voice’s origin.
It wasn’t until a head peeked out from behind a cara that Jin Jumo saw it.
But the distance was a bit far, and Jin Jumo couldn’t completely see the man’s face.
"Can you say your na again?"
Jin Jumo wasn’t sure if she heard wrong, but she could detect nervousness in the man’s voice.
Jin Jumo’s eyes narrowed slightly as she said, "Ye Xiao!"
"Liar!" The man exclaid excitedly.
Jin Jumo, "Uh..."
The theater staff and the drama artists were bewildered by what was currently unfolding, completely unaware of the situation!
Jin Jumo pursed her lips, full of doubts as well.
Suddenly, a figure darted onto the stage like the wind, crossing several strides to reach Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo’s heart was slightly suspended, she retreated a few steps, furrowed her slender brows, and looked over curiously.
However, upon seeing the man’s face, Jin Jumo’s almond eyes widened in shock, "You..."
"You know , do you know ?" The man pressed with surprise, suddenly bending down, placing his face close to Jin Jumo’s, looking at her expectantly.
"Uh..." Jin Jumo’s eyes twitched, thinking indeed, this world is full of strange coincidences.
Backstage dressing room of the theater.
"Momo, it’s really you, I’m not dreaming, right?" The young and handso face of the man lit up with clear joy and uncontrollable excitent, his bright eyes fixed steadily on Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo felt sowhat embarrassed, smiled and said, "Gao Qi, long ti no see."
Indeed, it has been a long ti!
If it weren’t for eting this way, Jin Jumo would have forgotten such a person had appeared in her life!
"Oh my." Gao Qi exclaid with joy and excitent, patting his forehead, opening his arms to hug Jin Jumo.
Jin Jumo’s face twitched, her movent not obvious, but anyone would notice her subtle sidestep to avoid him.
Gao Qi’s outstretched arms stiffened as he saw the polite smile on Jin Jumo’s face, causing his face to flush and awkwardly scratch his head to hide his embarrassnt. He said, "I knew my cousin was lying, you are fine now, but my cousin insisted you died in a car accident."
Cousin?
Jin Jumo was stunned briefly, not imdiately reacting.
Seeing this, Gao Qi explained, "My cousin, Tang Ruan. You even t her once at my mom’s birthday."
"...Oh." Jin Jumo raised her eyebrows.
Gao Qi continuously watched Jin Jumo, reluctant to blink, "Momo, you still look the sa as I rember, as beautiful as ever."
"Uh..." Jin Jumo’s back tingled a bit, her eyes avoided Gao Qi’s direct gaze, "I really didn’t expect you to beco a director."
Gao Qi’s face reddened slightly, his shiny eyes flashed with embarrassnt, "I didn’t expect you to beco a drama actress either. By the way, why did you introduce yourself as Ye Xiao earlier?"
Gao Qi’s face showed confusion as he looked at Jin Jumo.
This... how should she explain?
Jin Jumo slightly pursed her lower lip, "It’s a long story, huh."
Fortunately, Gao Qi didn’t ask further, enthusiastically saying to Jin Jumo, "So you’re the leading lady that Director Lin Dong introduced to ?"
Jin Jumo smiled, "Seems like it."
"That’s great!" Gao Qi clapped his hands, "I was a bit worried at first if it’d be suitable, but considering Director Lin Dong’s standing in the theater world, he wouldn’t recomnd soone casually, so I agreed. Now it seems like it’s more than suitable."
With that, Gao Qi extended his hand to Jin Jumo, "Momo, welco to join my cast and beco a mber of my crew."
Uh...
Jin Jumo looked at Gao Qi’s outstretched hand and finally extended her hand over.
Gao Qi grasped it firmly, fearing that Jin Jumo might change her mind and withdraw.
Jin Jumo was a bit embarrassed, looking at Gao Qi.
But Gao Qi was grinning like a fool, vigorously shaking Jin Jumo’s hand.
Jin Jumo, "Uh..." Is it still too late to back out and not act in this play?
Coming out of the theater, Jin Jumo couldn’t help but look back, her expression quite bewildered.
Still couldn’t believe it!
Gao Qi actually beca a director! And he’s the youngest director in the theater world! And listening to those veteran theater actors’ assessnts of Gao Qi, they’re pretty high.
But considering Gao Qi’s family cos from an art background, it’s not too hard to understand that he ended up in the arts industry.
Jin Jumo got into the car, just finished fastening her seatbelt, and was about to drive when her phone rang at that mont.
Jin Jumo took out her phone to glance at it, her mouth lightly curling, and answered, "Brother."
"Mm." Mu Qinnian responded in a youthful tone, "I’m just driving past your apartnt building. Are you ho?"
"Wait for twenty minutes, I’ll be right there." Jin Jumo, upon hearing he was downstairs, quickly said.
"I have ti, take your ti." Mu Qinnian’s voice beca even softer.
"Mm." Jin Jumo obediently replied, then hung up and drove towards the apartnt.
In exactly twenty minutes, Jin Jumo parked the car by the roadside, opened the car door, and saw a tall, fit figure leaning against the car. The man was talking on his phone with one hand and holding a cigarette with the other, his profile cold and exuding a vibe of ’keep away’.
Jin Jumo slightly raised an eyebrow and walked over.
Perhaps hearing footsteps approaching from the side, Mu Qinnian slightly lifted his eyelid, looking at Jin Jumo with sharp clarity. His icy gaze fixed on Jin Jumo’s face for two seconds, then suddenly, Mu Qinnian’s thick, dark eyebrows fell sharply, and he spoke into the phone with a voice that dropped to freezing point, "Yue Jingcheng, don’t test my patience. In my dictionary, there’s no such thing as divorce!"
Then, Mu Qinnian tossed the phone through the car window, his face cold as ice, striding directly towards Jin Jumo!
Jin Jumo was stunned by the grimness on Mu Qinnian’s face, her legs, which were about to step forward, slowly ca to a halt, and the light curve of her mouth also fell down, her heart couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
Mu Qinnian stepped closer to Jin Jumo, and his large hand unceremoniously lifted Jin Jumo’s chin, his eyes like deep pools fixed on the left side of her face, silent, yet making Jin Jumo’s heart hang high.
Pressing her lips together, a flash of annoyance crossed Jin Jumo’s eyes.
She forgot about the slap mark on her left cheek...
Jin Jumo guiltily lowered her eyelashes. Before the audition in the afternoon, she had intentionally applied several layers of foundation on her face. She had checked in the mirror herself; usually, people wouldn’t notice if they didn’t look closely...
But, her brother didn’t seem like an ordinary person!
"Are you going to tell yourself, or should I investigate?" Mu Qinnian spoke in a deep tone, looking like he was ready to tear soone apart.
In Country C, those who knew Mu Qinnian knew that his level of overprotectiveness had reached a point that drew universal resentnt. If soone from his side bullies others, he calls it teaching. But if his own people are bullied by others, it’s considered a cri, and within minutes, he’d have them conquered!
Not to ntion, the one currently being bullied is the sister he just recognized a few days ago!
The rage in Mu Qinnian’s heart was almost bursting out of his throat, it was simply asking for trouble!
"Investigate, investigate?" Jin Jumo, to speak objectively, found this version of Mu Qinnian genuinely terrifying, scarier than when Rong Mochen was angry!
Mu Qinnian snorted coldly, pulling Jin Jumo’s arm into his car.
Jin Jumo nervously followed behind him, being led into the car.
Jin Jumo’s hands twisted the fabric of her loose jeans, watching in panic as Mu Qinnian circled the car hood to sit in the driver’s seat. He picked up the phone and dialed a number, his voice filled with a thick gunpowder scent, "Rong Mochen..."
"Uh..." Jin Jumo’s eyes widened abruptly upon hearing the words Rong Mochen, her pupils almost splitting. She frantically stood up from the passenger seat to seize the phone in Mu Qinnian’s hand.
Mu Qinnian’s eyes were cold, watching as Jin Jumo grabbed the phone, her trembling fingertips tapping the touch button to hang up the call on the phone screen.
Watching the phone screen go black in front of her eyes, Jin Jumo closed her eyes and let out a heavy sigh.
Jin Jumo’s expression only caused Mu Qinnian’s face to grow even darker.
Jin Jumo sensed the intense gaze on her face becoming more pressing. Bai Jie’s forehead wrinkled with discomfort, slowly lifting her long lashes to cautiously look at Mu Qinnian.
