Chapter 758: President Moʼs Revenge

Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi

”President Mo, are you asking me to play the secondary character?” Huangfu Shuo asked in disbelief as he pointed to himself while sitting in Hai Ruiʼs meeting room. ”Me? Secondary?”

”Iʼve seen your previous works. Giving you this role is a decision I came to after analyzing your acting ability,” Mo Ting said with an attitude befitting of the King of Entertainment as he negotiated with Huangfu Shuo. ”You may have played a male lead before, but do you honestly think you were up to standard?”

”President Mo, everyone in the industry knows that, I, Young Master Huangfu, will only act based on my mood. Iʼm not used to the way youʼre talking to me.” Huangfu Shuo was a handsome man. He had the type of look that drew people in with one glance. But, a quick change in his appearance and heʼd give off a completely different vibe. It was evident how flexible he was. However, his attitude...”I donʼt want to play this rubbish.”

”You debuted at 17-years-old. At that time, you were still a good little boy. But, because of underhanded schemes, you suffered a lot of setbacks. At that time, there was a woman that gave you a lot of encouragement. However, she ended up abandoning you in the end. So, from that moment on, you created an image of a player for yourself...”

”Arenʼt you curious why she abandoned you?”

After Huangfu Shuo heard this, he immediately put away his casual attitude and became slightly angered, ”I see that Hai Rui likes to dig up other peopleʼs private matters.”

”She ended up in a relationship with a singer. But, that singer only had a small moment of fame and was quickly unheard of again. So, she had an abortion, flew overseas and ended up marrying a slightly famous actor in Hollywood.”

”How ruthless!” Huangfu Shuo scoffed.

”Iʼve looked at your audition. Itʼs really good. So, are you going to sign with us or not?” Mo Ting changed the subject calmly. ”I know you actually want to question her and attract her attention, thatʼs why you act so seriously. But, unfortunately, her status is too high and you canʼt reach her. Hai Rui is giving you a chance; if we announce that you have newly joined the cast of ʼThe Forensic Concubineʼ, I can guarantee that Bai Yu will look at you in a different light.”

”Do you think that I would want that?” Huangfu Shuo sneered.

”You may not want that. But, you can always transform in front of her and make her feel regret.”

”Can we really achieve what youʼve said?”

”Iʼm sure you must know that Bai Yu has been openly trying to go against my wife,” Mo Ting said straightforwardly. ”How do you think she would feel if she found out that the lover she once abandoned, ended up acting with her enemy?”

That would be super satisfying!

Huangfu Shuo was tempted.

Although he had already matured a lot, there was nothing wrong with being childish every once in a while.

”What else can I say? Of course Iʼll sign with you...I wish for an enjoyable cooperation, President Mo,” Huangfu Shuo returned to his usual casual attitude. Tangning had encountered a lot in the past, but the best way to describe Huangfu Shuo would be to say that everyone had secrets that they couldnʼt talk about. And these secrets were like thorns, embedded deep within their hearts.

One may disregard these thorns as being small and insignificant; unable to cause much damage. But, as soon as someone touched them, the pain would be unbearable.

Some people, for example, Tangning, would end up being cured by others.

But, the majority would continue to carry this burden with them...

...

”I heard you already signed a contract with Huangfu Shuo, is that right?” Tangning asked during dinner, ”Have you already confirmed it?”

”Uh huh,” Mo Ting nodded.

Tangning lowered her head. This was perhaps the first time that Mo Ting made a decision without first consulting her.

”But, I donʼt think Huangfu Shuo can handle the male lead. Itʼs not his scandals that Iʼm worried about, Iʼm concerned about his acting...” Although Tangning tried to control herself, she couldnʼt help but speak her mind. ”Donʼt you think youʼve made this decision too recklessly?”

As soon as Mo Ting heard this, he stopped eating and pulled Tangning towards him, placing her on his lap, ”Did you think youʼre the only one that knows that and Iʼm oblivious to it all? Itʼs because I know that heʼs not up to standard, thatʼs why I merely signed him for the secondary character, silly.”

”The secondary character?” Tangning finally responded after being shocked for a while.

”I chose him because he was Bai Yuʼs first love and was abandoned by her. Since Bai Yu is so arrogant, letʼs see if she is shameless enough to approach Huangfu Shuo,” Mo Ting said in an extremely vengeful tone. This was Mo Ting, the black-bellied Mo Ting. As long as someone tried to bully Tangning, he would find a way to strike back at them. Even though, this time, Lu Che was the actual one that deserved credit.

In an instant, Tangning understood Mo Tingʼs intention and pinched him on the thigh, ”I really donʼt know what to do about you. In that case, whatʼs happening with the male lead?”

”For an important character like that, the mystery will be revealed at the end.”

”Fine. You are killing me with anticipation.” After she was done talking, Tangning wanted to stand up, but Mo Ting hugged her tightly around the waist and pleaded in a low voice, ”Donʼt go...”

”Huh?” Tangning was puzzled.

”I donʼt think Iʼve made love to you on the dining table before, have I?” Mo Ting said as he lifted his handsome face.

This time, Tangning was truly shocked...

”Iʼve already paid you back for all that I owed.”

”No. Itʼs my turn to pay you back...” Mo Ting said before he placed Tangning on top of the dining table, ignoring everything else. At this moment, all he wanted to do was connect with Tangning to the depths of her soul. He wondered how such a mysterious woman existed in this world? A woman that made him love her more by the day; a woman that he wanted to possess more and more...

...

The next day, ʼThe Forensic Concubineʼ officially had a new member and Huangfu Shuo was confirmed as this strong addition to the cast. However, Hai Rui did not announce which character heʼd be playing.

So, the public couldnʼt help but speculate that heʼd be playing the role of male lead.

The fans of the novel didnʼt know whether to agree or disagree. They couldnʼt completely disagree because Huangfu Shuo was extremely handsome, he looked good in ancient costume and, most importantly, his acting was decent. But, they also couldnʼt agree because he had too many scandals. However, even though he had a lot of relationships, he wasnʼt the promiscuous type.

As soon as the news was released, the most shocked, of course, werenʼt the fans. After all, Mo Tingʼs aim was not to attack the fans, but to attack Bai Yu.

So, as expected, Bai Yuʼs face turned pale as soon as she read about it.

If she hadnʼt seen his name with her own eyes, she probably would have forgotten that she had a history with this man.

Did Hai Rui actually get Huangfu Shuo to play their male lead?

Huangfu Shuo?

Was he worthy?

Bai Yu wondered if Hai Rui knew something? If not, why would they pick Huangfu Shuo out of all people?

She had never admitted to her relationship with Huangfu Shuo. She was confident that if Huangfu Shuo remained relatively unknown, things would be easy to control. But, if he became famous and revealed that she had abandoned him for the sake of moving up in her career...then...
