Chapter 45 - Battlefield (Mu ZhenYu casually looked around and finally his gaze stopped at Xu WanZhi.) (1)
Surrounding them, under the deafening sound of the KTV, the desire to gossip had been ignited among many that were there. As loud as the music was, Xu That very moment, time seemed to have frozen.
Xu WanZhi casually stood up from the couch, but owing to their height difference, she could still feel suppressed by the pressure coming from Mu ZhenYu.
Several parties all remained silent, and Shen Yi was the first to break it. Slightly intoxicated from the alcohol, he took a sidestep and blocked in front of Xu WanZhi as if to antagonize him on purpose, he said, “Hi, Mr. Mu, it’s been a while.”
WanZhi could hear bits and pieces from those chattering around her.
“Mr. Mu? He’s one of the Mu’s?”
“Judging from his age, he is most like Young Master Mu ZhenYu, the oldest of his generation.”
“Man, the Mu’s sure got some nice genes. Second Young Master Mu had just turned 20 and was already incredibly handsome. This First Young Master Mu definitely makes it difficult for one to keep her legs close.”
“I have heard rumors that Xu WanZhi was backed by the Mu’s. I didn’t think it was true.”
“But I heard that Mu ZhenYu had gone bankrupt. Why is she still with him?”
“True love? Maybe the rumors earlier between her and Jiang YueXian were really just rumors.”
“Oh, my gosh. This is going to be a battlefield.”
“Now that the Mu’s are going downhill and Mu ZhenYu has gone bankrupt but the Shen’s are going up and up. Maybe WanZhi is going to be taken away by Shen Yi. This is going to be some good drama.”
Being surrounded by the melon-eating crowd, all Xu WanZhi could do was to snicker.
She has always had a poor reputation and the title of “Queen of Bad Publicity”. Had her relationship with Mu ZhenYu been exposed before he has gone bankrupt, there would doubtless be rumors of her being a kept woman, hugging the golden thigh, and having no talent but bought her way into the production crew, etc. etc.
Low and behold, with Mu ZhenYu’s bankruptcy, her “being a kept woman” had turned into “true love”. Of course, as an actress who had gained her popularity through rumors, her “true love” didn’t need to be advocated. As such, nobody spread that rumor online. Not Liang ZhiQuan. Not Chang XiaoYa.
Otherwise, everybody would have heard about her and Mu ZhenYu by now.
Right now, she was uncertain whether Shen Yi was truly drunk or fake drunk. He acted like he was intoxicated. Wobbling, he tried to reach out his right hand to shake hands with Mu ZhenYu.
Xu WanZhi peeked at Mu ZhenYu over Shen Yi’s shoulder.
Unlike his usual self, he had no expressions whatsoever, which all the more gave her the creeps. Oh no, Old Mu was going to go ballistic again. The trunk of his car was now reserved by, not her, but Shen Yi.
Unexpectedly, Mu ZhenYu merely looked down on Shen Yi’s hand before he turned to look elsewhere while asking, “Whose idea was it to play a game like this?”
His words stunned half of the people there – everyone was expecting to see a fight between two of the male animals, but when Mu ZhenYu started to talk, that’s what he wanted to ask?
That being said… What was the point of being petty with the drunk Shen Yi? That’d only make him seem like less of a gentleman. He might as well skip directly to find out whose idea it was.
The question certainly hit the root of the problem.
Shen Yi paused too and awkwardly retrieved his hand and rubbed himself on his nose.
The very next moment, everybody turned and looked at Chang XiaoYa at the same time.
Naturally, Chang XiaoYa had learned a lot about Mu ZhenYu from her good friend Liang ZhiQuan. As the instigator, her original intention was to pry about the past between Xu WanZhi and Shen Yi. Low and behold, she had learned nothing about the two of them, but her plan had backfired on herself. Now she was being targeted by Mu ZhenYu, the god of hell. She couldn't help but became nervous and her palms started to sweat.
Finally, she decided to give in. She stood up voluntarily and owned up to it. “I was the one who suggested it. Shen Yi-ge had only joined our crew recently and isn’t yet familiar with the rest of us, so I thought we could work on strengthening our concentration and team work. I hadn’t expected it to turn out this way.”
“Strengthening concentration and team work, eh?” Mu ZhenYu snickered and said, “Speaking of strengthening team work, I know of a game… the trust fall. As far as I could tell, Miss Chang’s father was very good at it.”
There was subtext in Mu ZhenYu’s words. Everybody in the crew was lost except for Xu WanZhi.
